| The Giants were solid defensively last season, but probably not as good as expected. They recorded 42 sacks, but the loss of Osi Umenyiora knocked down their total some. Umenyiora should be healthy for the start of this season, though. Pair him with Justin Tuck and you have one of the best one-two pass rushers in the game. Plus, the Giants have an emerging secondary with Aaron Ross and Corey Webster becoming shutdown corners. Ahmad Bradshaw and Domenik Hixon give the Giants special teams a boost. Both do a better than average job on punt and kick returns.

The Giants sack total should be near 50 this season, which makes them a top-five defense. The special teams also is better than average and the secondary can make plays, grabbing 17 interceptions last season. Giants should be one of the first defense/special teams off the board this season. |
