5 biggest NY Giants disappointments from the blowout loss to the Raiders
• Daniel Jones left the game early with a serious injury
• The Giants fear Danny Dimes tore his ACL
1. CB Deonte Banks
After an incredibly strong start to his rookie season, Deonte Banks has really struggled in recent weeks and it's starting to affect the Giants' defense big time. Entering Sunday, Banks had given up 196 yards in the previous two games. Then against the Raiders, he showed some rookie rust that Wink Martindale wasn't hoping for.
Banks was consistently burned by receivers all game long and judging by how well he's played this season, you'd think it would be someone like Davante Adams. Instead, it was Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers who did the dirty work. Banks got burned early on a beautiful crosser route by Meyers and after that, you knew it wasn't going to be a good game for him.
While I'm not too concerned with Banks, as he's shown enough flashes early in the season, it still hurt to watch him play this week. Considering how stacked the Cowboys' receiving core is, it could be another rough weekend for the No. 24 overall pick. He's got to clean things up ASAP.
