There was only one poor throw by Daniel Jones, and he certainly looked efficient enough during Sunday’s 24-16 victory over the Texans.
— There is yet another iteration of the inside linebacker position, and this one has a rookie in – and a former every-down starter on the outs. Tae Crowder played 100 percent of the snaps in three of the first four games for this new coaching staff and then still was used for about 70 percent of the defensive snaps through Week 7. Crowder played only 22 snaps in Seattle and was barely seen against the Texans, on the field for only two snaps on defense.
The Giants are looking for their best combination to stop the run and for now are going with Jaylon Smith and rookie Micah McFadden. Smith played 64 percent of the snaps on defense and McFadden played a season-high 36. McFadden’s usage has fluctuated all season, as coordinator Wink Martindale goes week-to-week with his game plans and his deployment of personnel. This pairing was mostly effective against the run.
— Here’s another one from Martindale: How about what he got out of Jason Pinnock? Here is a guy who played a total of one snap on defense in his first five games and, with Xavier McKinney out, Pinnock got the call for 23 snaps. So, of course, Martindale has no problem involving Pinnock in the exotic pressure packages, and Pinnock gets the first 1.5 sacks of his NFL career . Pinnock also added three solo tackles.—The Nick Gates comeback continues. He played 13 snaps on offense .
— It was not perfect for rookie Dane Belton, as he replaced injured Xavier McKinney as the starting safety alongside Julian Love. Belton and Love played all 64 snaps on defense – this was a first for Belton – and it was Belton who essentially snuffed out the Texans’ last legitimate shot with a leaping end zone interception of Davis Mills with 9:49 remaining. One play before that, Belton was late arriving in coverage on a touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks.
