- New @YouTubeCreators video: Impact of #Texans' Jaylin Noel season-ending turf toe surgery, Tank Dell next man up, Nico Collins double-teams, what's the counter strategy?
- Giants defensive snap counts vs. Texans: • It's so important to hit on a few mid-level free agent signings every offseason. The Giants certainly did with DJ Reader. His two-year, $12 million contract looks like an absolute bargain. Bobby Jamison-Travis has ditched the redshirt and might already be the second-best run-stopper on the D-line. His emergence allowed the Giants to use Darius Alexander almost exclusively in passing situations, which masks his deficiencies against the run. If there's a position I had to predict a trade, it's defensive tackle. This group is getting by, but could really use a solid piece to complement Reader. And I'd expect Dean Lowry to be a practice squad elevation before long. • Abdul Carter is a machine. He was back to playing nearly ever snap after being on a pitch count last week due to a calf injury. On the Texans' game-tying drive late in regulation every member of the D-line was on a knee catching their breath during a timeout and Carter was…

Banks: Under Me: That's correct. 2 catches. 6 yards. How proud are you to do that to a receiver like that? Banks: I just try to keep going, keep getting better every snap What does it mean that the coaches gave him that matchup? Banks: It felt great. It's a great thing. Because they trust me to follow their number one #Giants #Texans
- Oct 25 Jordan Raanan (X) Deonte Banks is locking up Nico Collins so far.
- Oct 25 Dan Duggan (X) Texans were really committed to big personnel in the first half. Wasn't effective. Wonder if a halftime adjustment is spreading it out more to try to get their WRs more involved. Deonte Banks erased Nico Collins in the first half, but there are other potential matchups to exploit. Abdul Carter has been a problem though, so Houston probably trying to keep him from destroying the game.
- Oct 25 Dan Duggan (X) Wilson continues to bring the heat and it's working. Deonte Banks has been traveling with Nico Collins. Had him blanketed on that second-down PBU. Banks' play has improved more season-to-season than any player I've covered in 11 years on the beat · Quoting Dan Duggan: Dennard Wilson sent blitzes on second-and-14 and third-and-5. Heated up Stroud on the inaccurate third down pass.
