JONES IS READY
Daniel Jones doesn’t figure to be surprised by anything the Cardinals throw at him. “I’m sure (the Cards defense) will come out aggressive,” he said. “They're a fast defense, they play really hard and fly to the ball. We intend on coming out the same way.”
WALLER PROVING HIMSELF
It’s a credit to Darren Waller and his professionalism that no one with the Giants seems concerned about his weekly day off or his hamstring. Waller has been a true pro, having already earned the trust of the coaching staff.
QUOTABLE
Defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson had this to say about Giants rookie cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins: “Played hard, obviously made some mistakes. Now they’ve touched the stove, found out the stove is actually really hot, and hopefully they grow from it.”
