Giants secondary depth will face challenge from Cowboys passing game

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 15:07:14 GMT

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The way rookie cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Tre Hawkins have fit so seamlessly into the New York Giants defense, veteran Adoree Jackson has found himself playing a relatively new position.New York’s top coverage cornerback last season, Jackson has been playing more against the slot receiver since training camp opened in late July.With the season opener against Dallas coming on Sunday night, Jackson may very well be paired against Cowboys top wide out CeeDee Lamb in the nationally televised game.It’s not the way many envisioned the Giants cornerback rotation this spring. Jackson was the best defensive back on the team in 2022 and New York felt it had found a starter to play opposite him when it drafted Banks out of Maryland in the first round.Two days later, the Giants took Hawkins in the sixth round out of Old Dominion. It seemed like a selection to add depth to the roster.It wasn’t. Hawkins made an impression from the start and he has ...

Column: Alex Palou dominantes IndyCar amid lawsuits and scrutiny of his career decisions

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Alex Palou wore a McLaren papaya-colored shirt at the Miami Grand Prix in May and a $1 million Richard Mille custom watch adorned his wrist.Given only to McLaren’s F1 drivers, the timepieces are a talking point among the collecting crowd. Simon Pagenaud, himself a Mille ambassador, immediately spotted the watch.“Yes, but it doesn’t work,” Palou said.“What do you mean it doesn’t work?” Pagenaud asked, popping out of his chair to seize Palou’s right arm.“It just doesn’t do anything,” Palou said with a shrug.“You know you have to wind it, right?” asked an incredulous Pagenaud, who began twisting the outer dial.Palou always has had some naivete since arriving in the United States at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. He was a 22-year-old Spaniard who most recently had been racing under the radar in Japan, and he never had won a championship at any level.He slipped in during the isolated “bubble” 2020 season with small Dale Coyne Racing, where Palou sec...
