Let’s call it a welcome side effect that the Giants should be better equipped to handle one of their biggest tormentors.
It is too much to claim that the Giants reshuffled their entire defensive alignment just because of CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys.
Add in quarterback Dak Prescott — who the Giants haven’t beaten since 2016 — and there’s all the more need for a counterpunch with Jackson. Lamb played 52.5 percent of his snaps out of the slot — compared to just 8.8 percent for Jackson — last season, according to Pro Football Focus.Their most memorable head-to-head battle — Jackson only played four snaps in the slot and two in the box when the teams met in Week 3 — resulted in Lamb’s one-handed touchdown catch from Cooper Rush despite Jackson’s tight isolation coverage on a fade to the back pylon.
The Giants won’t have to wait long for a read if the coin flip favors them with this schematic change.Robert Sabo for NY Post
