We\u2019re excited to play the next team. Looking, trying to find our first win, so we\u2019re working toward all that this week but with that I\u2019ll just open it up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_983rf6yau\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5296,h_2979,x_0,y_200\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Farrowhead_report%2F01k5fq3q2c46n7as648y.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_2ytsk6guf\">On what he\u2019s seen from rookie defensive end Ashton Gillotte as his snap count increases:<\/h3>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_g0w1i23pu\"><strong>SPAGNUOLO:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI mean, they\u2019re up for a reason. He\u2019s played pretty good football for us. Now, the first game, he got the elbow (injury), and I think he only got nine plays. He would\u2019ve had more there. I just see him continuing to do that (gestures to elevating). I think the guys are getting a lot of confidence in him. I think I mentioned this last week, every time I turn the one-on-ones on against our guys, I think he\u2019s doing a really good job. He\u2019ll keep ticking upward.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_00ipfs783\">On his high blitz rate, and getting home:<\/h3>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dn78m62m1\"><strong>SPAGNUOLO:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWell, I\u2019m hoping that we can do it well all the time. They\u2019re always there. They\u2019re always on the list. It\u2019s whether we get to him (the quarterback) or not. That\u2019s the key, and I\u2019m trying to pick the right situations to do it because they don\u2019t always work. I\u2019d like to think \u2013 if they did &#8212; then everybody would be running them every down. But hopefully, we can get ourselves in situations where we can use those as much as we can. We\u2019ll see what happens this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_y7yv48cjw\">\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5621,h_3161,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Farrowhead_report%2F01k5fq5q943bsnwp3qh4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_31d4rmxl4\">On challenges he has with Giants skill players, such as Russell Wilson, Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy:<\/h3>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8uhzj1dl3\"><strong>SPAGNUOLO:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cLike all these teams that have good backs and skill on the edges, if you let them be two-dimensional, everyone knows what I\u2019m talking about, right? They dictate whether they are going to run; that becomes a tough day. So, hopefully we can get it one-dimensional and the only way we can do that is to stop the run or make that a focus. That\u2019ll be the intent and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll hope to do early.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_0j5w761kh\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2013 Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo spoke from the podium at team headquarters prior to Thursday\u2019s practice.
