The Giants Linebacker Corps Is Going To Be Scary In 2024. 

His past two drafts + navigating the cap issues that Dave Gettleman left him with have left not just you but myself concluding that he has indeed done a great job. Especially this offseason, with trading for Burns but also revamping the offensive line while not reaching for a QB at 6, have all shown us that Schoen is the right man to turn this franchise around. Great point!

I sure do man! Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, and Co. were such a dangerous defense.

I love it man! Burns and Thibodaux, along with Ojulari on specific pass-rush situations at times, will need to win their matchups consistently. With Thibodeaux's pass rush grade (62.9 according to PFF) being worse compared to 2022 (67.9), it's critical that he improves on that and should do so with Burns on the opposite side (who, himself had a 75.2 grade, one of the best in the league). Interior guys like Lawrence will do their thing (Jordon Riley more playing time? But then again, Jordan Phillips was signed for a reason). Add in the idea that Tyler Nubin had success playing in the box and is a solid tackler himself with good run defense, and this defense is a bright spot. Sorry for my paragraph, but love how you mentioned the wide 9 concept!

I'm excited to see this new defense under Bowen. When you look at the guys we were throwing out at linebacker under Judge, this unit is 1000x more talented. Bowens defenses are usually tough to run on. Thibs needs to improve in that area, and it's nice going into the season not counting on Ojulari to stay healthy all year.

@@mickpratt8327 amen to that. really eager to see how the front four will play, as Bowen's defense won't blitz as much as Martindale's did :)

lol can’t wait to watch the eagles blow the delusional giants fans out. Like every year. Brian burns struggled getting 10 sacks in a weak division. Now your in the East where every o line is decent besides the giants. He’s going to struggle even more. Giants fans have become more delusional than cowboys fans at this point.

@@ryanMcknight27 it’s gonna be fun to see what happens! Eagles keep getting better every year, hope Burns proves you wrong aha!! :)

Amen to that!!

I'm glad they are keeping you sane! Hopefully, guys like Burns and others will keep you believing in the G-Men! :)

preach, David, preach! That's our hope as we head into this season.

Dude had 11.5 sacks and a decent amount of tackles for loss when do you ever see him not play the run he has chased down receivers and running backs in screens had a couple forced fumbles so idk what you mean he has 0 pass rush help other than dexter Lawrence who takes double if not triple teams so yea he isn't going to have 20 sacks with 0 help and he got exponentially better this year from his rookie year you need to check out some film my friend your comment is false.

Agree with Okereke and McFadden as the keys. It's the beauty of the 3-4 defense that allows Burns and Thibodeaux to be pass rushers :). Sure, it's worth noting they can't be completely liabilities in coverage. Having Burns will help Thibodeaux as less attention will be focused on him.

Thank god Burns is here to bring attention away from Thibodeaux, right Rich?

@@richcropsey572 if you checked out the films you'd see an undersized DE who gets blown out on running plays. Yes he's a good pass rusher, but he does not play the run well. KT had 12 games with 2 tackles or less. 5 games with zero tackles. Look at similar players: Quay Walker, TJ Watt, Quincy Williams etc. Far more tackles. Burns will help him greatly. And KT did improve from year 1, but he needs to make another jump to be seen as a top OLB.

@@portopottybreath9375 bro your crazy if you think that's true aziz is always hurt or half assing plays I'd give you him but KT is the reason we won I'd say half of our games also kind of hard to keep that same motor going when your offense ranks 32nd every damn year and our defenders are on the field 80 percent of the game... yet we fire the defensive coordinator? That's retarded man consider all factors those players you mentioned they get 4 turnovers in a game they win no question we do and we lose yet people point at the defense???? Miami 4 turnovers we lost by 17 howwwwwww? Oh yea our offense sucks dick I don't expect the defenders to play 100 percent of the game and still have all the energy in the world to continue stopping offenses the offense needs to help out alot more and you will see how great they are. Washington we had 6 turnovers and barely won so still want to blame them or say they have lack of effort because your dead wrong.

Mike great point! I mean they are LBs , thibs and burns are. But with the whole 3-4 defense, it’s like “WELL WHAT ARE THEY”😂 I would stick with the linebackers corps, but honestly it could go either way:)

😂 man when I saw that play live I couldn’t believe it. But in all seriousness he cannot continue to stare down his receiver and read plays like you mentioned. No excuse this year. Better o-line, better WR1, this is it.
