The New York Giants had been embarrassed by the Philadelphia Eagles, 28-3, at dwelling on Sunday afternoon however what could have been probably the most embarrassing second was when cornerback Deonte Banks backed off on tackling Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Hurts took off out of the pocket on the primary play of the fourth quarter and zipped up the proper sideline. Banks was bearing down on Hurts however appeared to deliberately whiff as Hurts went on to achieve extra yards earlier than going out of bounds.
Defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson, who publicly referred to as out Banks for a scarcity of hustle earlier this season, screamed on the younger cornerback from the sideline.
Two different occasions on the identical drive, Banks appeared to draw back from partaking on a play.
Head coach Brian Daboll was questioned about Banks’ effort after the sport however had little to supply.
“We’ll check out all that stuff and no matter we have to deal with, we’ll deal with. However, the fellows are placing effort into it every week. We’re simply, sadly, not getting the outcomes and it’s a outcomes enterprise,” he informed reporters.
When it was instructed that Banks’ actions wanted to be addressed for the time being on the sidelines.
“I’m not going to get into the sideline or teaching a part of it. However, none of it was ok in the present day,” Daboll mentioned. “I’ll go away it at that.”
Shedding has begun to seep into the psyche of this crew. There could also be little or no Daboll can do at this level to show issues round. However that received’t stop him from attempting.
“Nobody was blissful in regards to the outcome,” mentioned Daboll. “I believe now we have a powerful group. You could have a powerful group on this league. There’s quite a lot of ups and downs. Sadly, we’ve had extra downs. However, our guys will come again. We’ll regroup and we’ll do every thing we presumably can do, like we do every week, to be at our greatest on Monday night time.”
The Giants at the moment are 2-5 on the season. In the event that they lose to the Steelers subsequent Monday night time in Pittsburgh and drop to 2-6, will probably be the seventh time previously eight years that they may start the season with two or fewer wins on the midway mark.
Having gamers stop in performs actually doesn’t assist — not in outcomes or in optics. Maybe some self-discipline is so as.
