New York Giants defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale talks to The Volume’s Mike Silver about his team’s incredible 6-1 start to the 2022 NFL season and the culture change behind it, then previews the Giants’ challenging Week 8 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Martindale tells us about his professional career which started in trucking and later included teaching high school economics, and the scheme that got him his first coaching job. He discusses his unique relationship with legendary Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, why he let Marcus Peters call the defensive plays in a preseason game, how the media misused his words to offend Joe Burrow, and what’s actually happening in a very questionable-looking video of Giants cornerback Darnay Holmes.

I love this man. Him and Dabs and Kafka have brought my giants back where we belong
I still don’t understand the hype behind Burrow, he’s an above average QB but nothing special about him. He’s ordinary to good.
Joey Bum Knees wet the bed when it mattered most
Thank you Baltimore for this man. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Great interview. Bravo
really cool interview! my brother's a teacher & i'm gonna share this w him bc some of martindale's methods of student engagement are great!
No gold jacket huh wink. That attitude right there is what got u fired in Baltimore. I will say though giants are probably glad they have him though.
The giants have two or three legit head coaches now
He's the best defensive coordinator the Giants have had since Bill Belichick
Stink Fart’n Smell
Clickbait title. Burrow specifically said in an interview “i wasn’t offended by it.”
Don't worry wink . We shut down them Superbowl loser's week 5 for you held Jamar to 2 catches 16 yards
Wink RULES. LFG Giants
I love this interview. You ask great open ended questions which breaths life into a good conversation. Your pauses for clarifications are so seamless as well as timely. Your follow up questions are top notch. It was truly a pleasure to meet Don,(wink) Great interview. Top Marks, Mr. Silver.
