The Giants named former Eagle assistant Mike Spagnuolo defensive coordinator, replacing the fired Tim Lewis. Spagnuolo coached the LB’s the last two years, and before that was in charge of the Eagles’ secondary. I’ve always liked the style of the Eagles’ defense, very aggressive and blitz-oriented (note: I never agreed with their philosophy on building a defense, totally ignoring the LB position and loading up on DL’s and DB’s). Is this a good move? Time will only tell. I just hope they are more imaginative on defense and become more of an attack defense. Remember last pre-season how everyone was pumped about the defense throwing different “schemes†at opposing offenses, with all our talent up front? It never happened, even before the injury bug hit.
Local radio guy down here, Gary Cobb, posted on his website that he heard Spags may be overmatched in his role as defensive coordinator. I take everything with a grain of salt coming out of Philly, especially concerning the Giants. http://www.gcobb.com
