Giants’ Brian Daboll makes Deonte Banks decision for Week 9 after ‘MNF’ benching
NY Post
Deonte Banks’ benching is over.
The Giants will start their 2023 first-round draft pick at cornerback again Sunday against the Commanders, head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday.
Banks, whose effort has been called out on two occasions this season, played the first 27 defensive snaps in Monday’s loss to the Steelers before he was pulled for the rest of the game.
“I know he certainly will give everything he has,” Daboll said.
There are no plays on film that show Banks easing up rather than chasing a tackle, as he did in Week 3 against the Cowboys’ Ceedee Lamb and in Week 7 against the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.
He was hurdled by the Steelers’ Najee Harris when he tried to lower a shoulder, and he shoved George Pickens out of bounds before the receiver could get both feet down for a would-be touchdown.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
