Dave Gettleman tip helps lead to Oshane Ximines’ bust out

Before Thursday’s game, as he was making the rounds in the visitors’ locker room at Paul Brown Stadium, Dave Gettleman stopped by the locker occupied by Oshane Ximines, a rookie outside linebacker the Giants general manager deemed worthy of the 95th-overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The message imparted was short and succinct: Worry about the little things and the sacks will come.

“That’s something I really pay attention to,’’ Ximines said. “That’s all I did.’’

What Ximines did was put together his first breakout spurt of the preseason with two sacks in the second quarter of a 25-23 victory over the Bengals.
