quarterback,” Bowen said. He (Ojolari) has a lot of talent in that area.
I think (Brian) Burns gives you strength in that area. KT (Kayvon Thibodeaux) giving you the opportunity.
“It’s just where you put it. If you have three players on the field, you only have two edges.
So this is where you leave it. That’s one thing we do as employees because, again, some of those employee decisions are going to happen to people in the past.
Ojolari, the Giants’ second-round pick in 2022, is the team’s third-string cornerback after the Giants traded for Burns.
“I think he has a really good camp. Bowen spoke about Ojolari. “I think he’s been consistent.
I think he’s been running every day throughout camp.
There’s usually one or two plays where I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s a good job. .’ “develop and be able to be that person every day. .”
Here are some other highlights from Bowen’s press conference Thursday.
Burns took the lead
Bowen praised Burns for his work ethic and approach. Of course, talent can be found.
Bowen said the skill set is unique. “I think it’s just his approach every day. He’s taking a leadership role in that room.
I think he’s developing for us in the unit.
Instead, be the best at doing your job. “He wants to be one of the best players in this league, and that’s what he’s doing.”
Isaiah Simmons is finding space
Another player who is getting a lot of attention in camp is Isaiah Simmons, who is starting to play a role in Bowen’s defense.
Simmons has played inside linebacker and cornerback during camp. I have enjoyed him so far in camp. I have seen him grow up.
“I think he’s doing well in unfamiliar conditions, especially early in the fall,” Bowen said.
corner competition
According to Bowen, the competition for the other cornerback spot is ongoing alongside Deonte Banks.
With Cordell Flute out with an injury, Nick McCloud and Terry Hawkins III have challenged for the starting spot.
Bowen praised both players for their performances, especially Hawkins’ performance in the Giants’ previous game.
“I think it’s just an area that we haven’t really decided yet.
I think we are there now. We are working with these guys and trying to find the best 11 to be part of, “said Bowen.
And who those parts are not for the most talented player in the world. The best thing. “Finding 11 for us .
It’s not like we’re really worried about what we’re doing.
Protected identity
As the Giants prepare for next season, Bowen stressed the importance of consistency and determination on defense.
After reflecting on the team’s final preseason performance, Bowen was pleased with the team’s ability to respond to adversity.
