Key takeaways:
– Rex Ryan to Giants DC possibility: Harbaugh hinted he might reach out, saying, βwhy not?β Heβs a trusted mind who called great games and built stout defenses, and the idea of bringing Ryan back into the fold is clearly on the table. π§ π
– A proven track record together: Ryan and Harbaugh teamed up in Baltimore, turning a 4-12 season into the AFC Championship Game on the strength of a top-5 points defense and a stingy yards defense 18 years ago. Their collaboration could bring that same fearless style to the Giants. ππ₯
– Giantsβ defensive overhaul in progress: After Bowenβs era, interim DC Charlie Bullen impressed with a more aggressive approach. Bullen is now a DC candidate, and if he moves on, Ryan could be the ideal play-caller to continue the desired attack. π
– Classic fit, No-Drama potential: Harbaugh and Ryan already share history and a compatible mindset. Their prior on-field chemistry could translate into a smooth, bold defensive identity for a Giants squad aiming to snap three straight double-digit-loss seasons. πβ‘
– Big-picture optimism: Harbaugh wants control of the rebuild and an impactful staff to match his vision. A Rex Ryan reunion would signal a bold, blitz-ready era in New York. π
Fans have plenty to be excited about as Harbaugh reshapes the Giantsβ future with a defense-first, high-energy blueprint. ππ
