Defensive coordinator James Bettcher on Wednesday reminded assembled media not to forget about Markus Golden, who was acquired via free agency. Golden had 12.5 sacks in 2016 while playing for Bettcher with the Arizona Cardinals. A knee injury has limited him to 15 games and 2.5 sacks since that season.“Don’t ever forget that before (the injury) he was one of the best pass rushers in this league,” Bettcher said. “People had to plan for him. I know that because I was one of the guys calling the plays for him on defense. I saw what he was able to do when he was healthy and running around. I love how he is moving right now, and I love his work. He is a guy that is going to play exceptionally hard. As I sat here a year ago and talked to you about one of the identifying qualities we needed our defense to look like, (it) was to look relentless Wayne Gallman Jerseys 2019 , work relentless and play relentless. I think that is probably the epitome of Markus.”Jabrill Peppers as return manSpecial teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey was asked Wednesday what Jabrill Peppers, who returned both punts and kickoffs with the Cleveland Browns, could bring to the return game.“High energy, the guy is a for sure ball handler. Can make all the cuts full speed. He just brings juice,” McGaughey said. “I’ve known the kid since he was 16 years old. I recruited him when I was at LSU. Jabrill is a special athlete. He can do anything -- run the football, catch the football, whatever. He’s just a great athlete.”McGaughey said he will work in both capacities with the Giants.A better receiving corps?Without Odell Beckham Jr.? Is that possible?“Well, I believe in the group that we have in the room right now. I’m very, very confident in my coaching ability and I coach guys from all different ends of the spectrum and whoever we put on the field is going to be a contributing player for our offense White Sterling Shepard Jerseys ,” said wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert. “So it doesn’t matter who’s in the room. We’re going to coach him up to get him to play the best of your ability and will be successful with the guys we have in the room.”More headlinesPass rusher Ziggy Ansah signing with Seahawks - NFL.comIt doesn’t seem like the Giants were ever really in play for the former Detroit Lions defnesive end.2019 NFL bold predictions: Derek Carr’s back, Pittsburgh’s wack - NFL.comLet’s hope it’s Adam Schein’s prediction that turns out to be bonkers.2019 Free Agency Cost-Benefit Analysis | Football OutsidersThe common narrative is that the Giants overpaid for wide receiver Golden Tate.

I didn’t see the replay. I think it looked worse than it really was.”Either way, it put Manning on the turf like so many other times in a 20-13 loss Sunday night that dropped to Giants to 0-2 under new coach Pat Shurmur.Manning was sacked six times, the most since Philadelphia got him that many times four seasons ago. Only three times in his 218 career games has he been sacked more — the most was eight (at Dallas a decade ago in Texas Stadium, a year before the Cowboys moved into JerryWorld Sterling Shepard Jerseys 2019 , and against the Eagles in 2006).“We didn’t do anything well enough on offense to win this game,” Shurmur said.While Manning was 33-of-44 passing without an interception, those completions went for only 279 yards. Just one pass went for more than 18 yards. Rookie running back Saquon Barkley was targeted 16 times, and finished with 14 catches for 80 yards.Cody Latimer‘s 37-yard catch down the right side came on that third-quarter drive before Manning’s 1-yard gain on a third-and-11 scramble that ended with Smith’s hit. That set up a 28-yard field goal that was New York’s only score until putting up 10 points in the final 1:27 of the game.“(The Cowboys) did a good job mixing up their coverages,” Manning said. “I don’t know if they did anything specifically. They just did a good job just getting some pressure and not getting a whole lot of time to get the ball down the field.”To compound issues for the Giants offensive line, starting center Jon Halapio left the game with his right leg in an air cast. The team said he had a lower leg injury, but Shurmur had no update after the game on the 6-foot-3, 317-pound center whose leg got rolled under several other players.Twice on a drive in the second quarter, Manning had keepers to convert fourth-and-1s from the Giants side of the field.After those rare fourth-down sneaks for the 15th-year quarterback White Darian Thompson Jerseys , he was promptly sacked on the first-down plays that immediately followed. Four of the sacks came in the second quarter alone.“All five guys working together, understanding calls, understanding what defenses are doing, and passing things off, so that one’s probably always going to take the longest for them to start to gel,” Manning said. “That group, they’re going to be determined to play at a higher level, just like everybody else.”
