Why Giants aren’t pushing the DeAndre Baker panic button

CHICAGO — The results are not there yet, but the attitude is right. That is defensive coordinator James Bettcher’s take on rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker.

Baker will be one of the players responsible Sunday for dealing with Allen Robinson, who leads the Bears with 57 receptions and 633 receiving yards. The Giants traded up into the back end of the first round of the 2019 draft to get Baker. After a rough start to his career, he has stabilized his play but his performance has not come close to matching his lofty draft status.

“I want some snaps back for him and he wants them back, too,’’ Bettcher said.
