NY Giants Defensive Coordinator was seen chewing out and cursing at his defense at practice Thursday. The team is in a must-win Sunday at home.

The NY Giants are in playoff mode for Week 17. There won’t be any screwing around in practice this week.

Not on Pat Graham’s watch.

The Giants’ defensive coordinator was seen yelling and cursing at his defense on New Year’s Eve to wake up and improve the intensity. He knows this team can’t afford another slow start this Sunday.

Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News provided this video from practice at Metlife Stadium:

With any luck, Graham’s expletive-filled rant and yelling will resonate with the New York defense. The defense has struggled in recent weeks and lost their glitz and glamor from their four-game winning streak.

Graham is not messing around and taking any chances at a setback this week. This team needs to learn how to win and taste NFL playoff football immediately.

The NY Giants can win the NFC East Sunday with a victory over the Dallas Cowboys combined with a Philadelphia Eagles win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday night. Watching Graham, it’s easy to see the intensity level has ratcheted up in East Rutherford ahead of the weekend.
