New Giants’ DC Dennard Wilson brings an aggressive play-calling style

8 comments

1. So no prevent defense in the final 30 seconds of a game? 🥳

2. You mean we’re not gonna run zone on 3rd and 11 and let every tight end snatch 12 yards on a cross?

3. Will we play actual defense when it’s 3rd and 28 and not allow a screen pass to go for 35 yards?

4. That’s what they all say until they lose games and their job is on the line

   I’m just jaded D:

5. He’s a Macdonald scheme guy right?

6. As long as it’s creative and not some soft coverage bullshit while playing scared we’ll be in good hands.

7. Id rather lose these 3rd and longs by being aggressive than playing soft.

8. Former Giant Jihad Ward, who played 67% of the Tennessee Titans’ defensive snaps under coordinator Dennard Wilson this season, said that’s exactly what New York is getting in John Harbaugh’s new defensive coordinator.

   “If you’re soft and not physical or smart, you will not play,” Ward, 31, who is headed to free agency, told the Daily News on Monday.

   Ward called Wilson, 43, a “great coach” and said players like playing for Wilson because they know their success is what motivates him.

   “He just wants you to ball!” Ward said.
