The New York Giants shook up their coaching staff as Shane Bowen is out as defensive coordinator following another defensive collapse. With outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen stepping in as interim DC, can the Giants finally harness their defensive talent and finish a lost season on a positive note?

Patricia Traina breaks down what led to Bowen’s departure and the concerns surrounding Bullen’s lack of coordinator experience. The episode also explores what’s next for interim head coach Mike Kafka’s audition, potential head coaching targets like Lou Anarumo, and the looming question: can the Giants break their cycle of disappointing seasons?
