How the Giants Can REPLACE Dexter Lawrence! | 3-Step Rebuild Plan | [DISCUSSION]

About this episode

The episode discusses a multi-step plan to replace Dexter Lawrence and the potential impact on the Giants' defense.

Anthony and Alex break down the multi-step plan to replace All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. We discuss the potential signings of veterans D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris, why the #37 overall pick is the "sweet spot" for a rookie DT, and the projected growth of Darius Alexander under John Harbaugh's new staff. Is it possible the Giants' defense actually becomes more well-rounded without Dex? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
