It looks as if 27-year-old Jaylon Smith will be activated off the practice squad, and the former Cowboys tackling machine (and a Giant for four games last season) will get a shot Sunday against the…
The weeks fly by as the season advances, and it is easy to forget the Giants have an all-new coaching regime, and the players have been tasked with learning all-new offensive and defensive schemes. That is especially true when it comes to how the inside linebacker spot is shaping up.
“We’re still in the process of finding the right fits for who’s going to play inside,’’ defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said. “I want guys who can run and hit and tackle. As a unit, as all 11, we need to tackle better. We had too many missed tackles. Like I said, going against this offense, it’s going to be a great test for us to see how much we’ve improved from Monday to Sunday.
The Giants got a break. RB David Montgomery will be out for the Bears with ankle and knee injuries suffered in the first quarter of Chicago’s victory last week over the Texans. Montgomery has 159 yards on a team-high 35 rushing attempts and a team-high five receptions for 38 yards.Khalil Herbert, a second-year player from Virginia Tech, will take Montgomery’s place. Herbert carried the load for the Bears in Week 3, rushing for 157 yards and two touchdowns, while averaging 7.
“He’s making too many tackles,’’ special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey said. “Jamie needs to focus on punting, and the coverage teams need to work on tackling and focus on tackling. Obviously, we don’t want the specialists making a whole bunch of damn tackles. So, that’s something obviously we’re frustrated with.’’
