If New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks was disciplined for a complete lack of effort in Week 7’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, that punishment would remain internal.
Head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Banks will not sit on the bench Monday night when the Giants play the Pittsburgh Steelers and will assume a regular starting role.
“He’ll start,” Daboll said, Via NJ Advance Media. “I talked to Mr. Tae. I’ll keep it in-house.”
This is at least the second time the Giants have been forced to “talk to Tae” this season. A similar lack of effort against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 drew the public ire of defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson.
Although Banks insists he played with emotion against the Eagles, he also said it was simply a business decision to avoid contact with a scrambling Jalen Hurts early in the fourth quarter. Athletic”.
“I think I made it, but sometimes when you’re in that moment you think, ‘Oh,’ but I think I made the tackle,” Banks said, per Dan Duggan.
Defensive captain Dexter Lawrence said Banks’ lack of effort was also addressed as a team, but did not provide further details. He simply vowed that something like this would never happen again.
Shane Bowen, the team’s defensive coordinator, echoed similar sentiments.
“We expect them to play full speed to tackle every moment. Making sure they’re running the ball and doing all those things. That’s the expectation. “That’s the standard we want to have across the board here,” he told reporters. “There are things we have to continue to coach. We’ve worked through this as a coaching staff, with our unit and everyone else. Hopefully, we can all continue to make some progress and growth in that regard.” I hope I can keep watching.”
And as they say, that’s it.
