Giants Defensive Coordinator Critiques Team's Effort After Saints Game

The New York Giants nearly achieved a comeback against the New Orleans Saints last Sunday, with quarterback J.J. McCarthy entering the game in the fourth quarter. McCarthy is set to start against the Houston Texans this weekend.

Defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson emphasized the importance of avoiding a repeat of last week's performance, where the Giants recorded 18 missed tackles. He expressed his disappointment regarding the team's effort, particularly in running to the ball, and indicated that he addressed these issues in team meetings.

Wilson referred to players who do not hustle as 'traitors' to the defense, stressing the need for accountability. He noted that the team must either make adjustments or correct behaviors to improve. With the Texans scoring 90 points in their last three games, Wilson's message will be crucial for the Giants as they aim to secure their first win in three weeks.
