New York Giants cornerback Aaron Robinson played just 14 snaps against the New England Patriots in the first preseason game. But while he was on the field for less than a quarter of the Giants’ total defensive snaps, they might have been some of the most important snaps in the game.
We’ve been noting since Wink Martindale was hired to be the Giants’ new defensive coordinator that his scheme depends on the coverage players. They need to hold up for his pressure packages to be effective.
Robinson is expected to man one of the Giants’ starting outside cornerback positions, making him one of the team’s cornerstone defenders and an important piece in Martindale’s schemes.
