The New York Giants restored former defensive coordinator, Rod Rust, into the fold as defensive quality control specialist, a guru position equal to that of Jim Fassel’s QB title. Rod Rust was the former coach of The Montreal Alouettes, but was let go just weeks before the Grey Cup, for which the team may not qualify, after enthusiastic season opening expectations.

Rust is the innovative genius who devised the R & R defense rumored as much despised by the fabled Giants’ team of Taylor, Banks and Johnson. “We Americans are an aggressive bunch,” says Rust, “and the idea of a “Read and React” defense didn’t sit well with the guys.”
