He was good for 2 years with the Giants.

Giants D was actually pretty bad in '06(24th in pts allowed, 25th in yards allowed). They were above average in '07 then out of their minds in the playoffs.

7th in total yards, but just avg in ppg 16th. They did play out of their minds in the playoffs.

Like I said, he had one of the best front fours. If they won on 1st and 2nd downs or created passing downs it was game over. I think it was more do to the talent then the coaching.

Your better argument is the 2008 Giants Defense. Most ppl don't remember they were 12-4 and had the # 1 seed, but lost to Carolina in the divisional round. That was Spags best defensive coaching yr. I think they were Top 5 in yardage and ppg.
