The New York Giants, led by quarterback Daniel Jones, face the New York Jets, led by Aaron Rodgers, on Saturday, August 26, 2023 (8/26/23) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Rakeem Nuñez-Roches had a miserable start to his first training camp with the New York Giants.
“I was really more mad about that than the accident all together,” he said Tuesday, hours before the Giants held an evening workout in which they put on pads for the first time since camp opened. The Giants are hoping having the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer in the middle with Dexter Lawrence and adding inside linebacker Bobby Okereke will slow down opposing running games. New York was among the worst run defenses in the NFL in 2022, and it gave up 268 yards on the ground in a 38-7 loss to the Eagles in the NFC divisional round.
“There are other things that we have to fine tune,” he said. “Just understanding where your neighbors are at. Not forming the same ground, just being disciplined. Not peaking too soon, just staying there and trusting that your guy will float to the ball, and you don’t have to do anybody else’s job.”The nine-year veteran also noted that defenses also succeed with depth, which is why he constantly tells younger players to always compete.
