Bowen values “violent” hands on the line of scrimmage, downhill linebackers and physical defensive backs who tackle with their chest in the run game.
Rushing quarterbacks with four defensive linemen and keeping cornerbacks in zones instead of alone on islands doesn’t have to be considered antonymous.“It’s kind of like passive-aggressive in a good way — like when you talk to people and you feel like they are yelling at you but they are not yelling at you,” nickelback Isaiah Simmons said. “To call an offense ‘explosive,’ whatever that is equivalent to on defense: fast, physical, swarming.
“There’s a fine line between being aggressive and hitting guys when it’s legal, and being stupid and hitting guys late,” Bowen said. “We want to toe the edge … but at the same time, we can’t do the dumb stuff that costs the team.” The hallmarks of Bowen’s defense are stopping the run — one of the main things that Giants head coach Brian Daboll prioritized in the search that followed Martindale’s ugly exit — and stingy red-zone defense when the secondary can condense the field.
In the one full series that the Giants starters played during the preseason, the Texans 11-play, 59-yard drive stalled out at the 6-yard line and resulted in zero points.
