What happened

That is new head coach John Harbaugh’s marching order.

Why it matters

He will not tolerate what the Giants defense devolved into the past few years — loose and lacking against opposing rushing attacks, 31st in the league in 2025.

Common ground

Harbaugh wants an anchor to stick next to nose tackle Dexter Lawrence to eat up some double-teams and allow Big Dex to shake off a subpar 2025 showing.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
