4 Giants who need to thrive in Week 4 matchup with Cowboys

1. CB Deonte Banks

The defense is what helped the Giants come away victorious on Sunday, but it was in no way because of Deonte Banks. Banks had a rough outing against Amari Cooper, allowing two touchdowns. It wasn't just allowing the touchdowns, but also how they were let up. Cooper bodied Banks on the first one and then lulled him to sleep on the second.

Banks truly had to attend Amari Cooper University on Sunday and he's lucky it didn't cost them the game. Unfortunately, it doesn't get easier for Banks on Thursday. He's going up against one of, if not, the best receivers in the game in CeeDee Lamb. If there were ever a time for Banks to shut up the critics, it would be now.

If he can find a way to somehow shut down Lamb or at least make him not as big of a factor, it will not only potentially help the Giants win, but also be huge for Banks' confidence. Dallas is going to come out firing on Thursday, and Banks needs to be the shutdown corner Joe Schoen and Co. drafted him to be.
