The veteran Giants defensive coordinator was not going to state his unit will be shattered by the loss of safety Xavier McKinney.
Wink Martindale has a way with words, and he also leans toward honesty when assessing a situation — as much as he can be forthcoming while discussing strategy and player deployment in the days leading up to a game.
“I think there will be an effect,’’ Martindale said. “It could be a good effect or a bad effect. We’re going to find that out.’’ “It’s just unfortunate that something like that could happen. It’s just weird. You never really hear about something like that, but it happened. I’m gonna keep backing him.’’
“He’s a really mature kid for being a rookie,’’ Martindale said. “He’s very quiet. You got to get him talking louder and things like that, but I just like how he approaches the game. The plays will come for him because he keeps doing the right thing. He’s not an error repeater — he doesn’t make the same mistake twice. I think as a rookie, he’s ahead of the game.’’
