Part 2/14:
The Coaching Shakeup: Shane Bowen Out, Charlie Bullen In
One of the central topics was the recent firing of Shane Bowen as the defensive coordinator and the appointment of Charlie Bullen as the interim DC. The panelists reacted with a mix of surprise and inevitability, acknowledging that the move was probably overdue given the defensive struggles this season.
Bob Papa noted that the Giants' issues have been glaring, especially with blown leads and defensive lapses in crucial moments. Carl Banks pointed out that Bowen’s schemes were overly predictable and lacked the necessary scheme flexibility, leading opponents to expose the Giants repeatedly — running the same successful plays game after game.
