James Bettcher wasn’t about to fall down this particular jackrabbit hole.
The Giants’ defensive coordinator did not fire back at cornerback Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins’ criticisms that the scheme is not using him properly. He is stuck on one side of the field rather than being allowed to shadow the opponent’s best receiver.
“Since I’ve been here and had an opportunity to work with him, he has competed on a daily basis for me and for his teammates,” Bettcher said. “You’ll see him grabbing our young corners and leading them around and making points to them of what he’s looking at, of what he recognizes.
