New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2019Dexter Lawrence: Big man, big personality .. and big expected impactNew,48commentsEDTThe New York Giants are hoping mountainous defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence brings his “A” game to the field each week, dominating offensive linemen and helping the Giants take a step forward on defense.That remains to be seen. No doubt, though, that Big Dex — rapidly turning into a media darling — brought his “A” game to his meeting with reporters on Tuesday.Quotes of the dayOn the idea that 342-pound men are not usually considered pass rushers:“I’m not everybody else in the league, I’m Dexter Lawrence II. I’m different, I bring a different attitude to the game. That’s kind of what this summer, well, this spring — that’s what they called it, a summer event for me -- just working on my pass rush, trying to be a three-down guy for the team, just to help win games.”On what it takes to play good defense:“My thing is — I say this kind of every day — everybody on defense, do your one eleven. Everybody do their job, and it’ll all come together at the end in making a great play.”On the pressure he and his young defensive teammates face:“I like the pressure simply because I feel like everything starts up front on the D-line. That’s the attitude that we all bring into practice every day. It starts with us, we have to bring the energy and the back seven is going to bring their energy. So, we’re just putting the pressure on ourselves before anyone else puts it on us.”<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="qifrfT">On rooming with Daniel JonesThe Giants’ sixth (Jones) and 17th (Lawrence) picks are rooming together in the team hotel during training camp. Here’s Lawrence on how the two are getting along:What is Jones like?“Probably how he is with you all, a little quiet, but I got him to open up more. He’s accepting that I’m his roommate, and I talk a little trash. I asked him Rhett Ellison Color Rush Jersey , “Do you see us in your face all the time?” He said, “No, because you all can’t touch me,” or something like that. Just a little trash talk.”Does Jones talk trash?“In the house he does.”Told that seems out of character for the QB:“No, I’m getting him to open up a little more.”<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="OMnyZn">Lawrence is entertaining. He is a big personality, along with being a very big human being. The only thing that matters, though, is whether or not he can make a big impact for the Giants on the field.His “I’m not everybody else in the league, I’m Dexter Lawrence II” comment tells you he is certainly confident that he can.Lawrence has no worries physically. He knows, though, that he will be going up against savvy veteran players who have had years to hone their craft.“I feel like I can hang with anybody in physicality, that’s not really a downfall in my game, it’s more just these guys here are a little veteran, a little smarter, so I’m just taking practice reps against some of those vets and just talking to them, listening to them, seeing the different things they do to defeat blocks and stuff,” Lawrence said.The Giants obviously believe that Lawrence will have an impact as a pass rusher.“He’s a big man, obviously. He’s had an impact already. Watching the one-on-one pass rush, you can see that he’s a guy that’s going to be able to get some pressure Olivier Vernon Color Rush Jersey ,” coach Pat Shurmur said recently. “We feel good about him being able to play on all three downs.”Much has been made, of course, of the Giants using Lawrence as an end at times rather than as a pure nose tackle. He said he is enjoying the role as there is “a little bit more space you can work with out there.”Lawrence has also spent some time at the nose during the early part of training camp. His 84-inch wingspan (97th percentile) and unusual athleticism for his size, though, make him a player the Giants believe can be more than a run-stuffing nose tackle.“He can line up on the nose. He can line up as a 3, and he can line up as a 5, on the center, guard or tackle because of his size, his quickness and his length,” Shurmur said. “Generally speaking, as you get further from the ball, length is more important, and because he’s got such great size, he can do that for us.” It’s unlikely that Kentucky EDGE Josh Allen will be available for the Giants, but we can dream"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections New York Giants NewsGiants Training Camp 2016Giants vs. Eagles 2015, Week 172019 NFL DraftKentucky EDGE Josh Allen bet on himself and is now one of the best players in the draftNew,63commentsIt’s unlikely that Kentucky EDGE Josh Allen will be available for the Giants, but we can dreamEDTShareTweetShareShareKentucky EDGE Josh Allen bet on himself and is now one of the best players in the draftJamie Rhodes-USA TODAY SportsIt is a measure of just how loaded the 2019 Draft is along the defensive front that any one of the top prospects would likely be a consensus number one selection in almost any other year. One of those players is also a lesson on the importance of patience, work ethic, and player development. Kentucky’s Josh Allen was considered a solid prospect for the 2018 draft and would have been one of the first EDGE players off the board -- though he wouldn’t have challenged Bradley Chubb for the title of top EDGE. Instead Odell Beckham Jr Color Rush Jersey , he returned to school and saw a dramatic improvement over his senior season. Now Allen is reckoned as one of the top prospects in the entire draft and a likely top five selection. With the New York Giants drafting at sixth overall, it’s unlikely that he will fall to them, but crazy things happen on draft night so we should take a look at him.MeasurablesProsPrototypical size, weight, and frame for the position. Played left and right EDGE, from two and three-point stances, as well as off-ball linebacker.Very good athlete with an elite first step.Excellent hand usage. Very quick in a phone boothVery physical player. Sets a firm edge in run support and looks to deliver hits.Experienced and comfortable dropping into coverage.Shows good awareness in zone coverage.Got better every year at Kentucky. Elite production his senior year: 88 tackles, 21.5 tackles for a loss, 17 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 4 passes defensed.ConsShows some slight lower-body tightness. Could do a better job of incorporating counter moves in his pass rush.Prospect VideoWhat They’re SayingLance Zierlein (NFL.com - Scouting Report) Does He Fit The Giants?Yes. Allen would be one of the best candidates for EDGE player for the Giants’ defense. His ability to rush the passer and generally disrupt offenses in opponent’s backfields would certainly be a welcome addition to a Giants’ defense that is lacking in the ability to do those things. Allen also has the ability to rush standing up as well as with his hand in the dirt, as well as play effectively as an off-ball linebacker. And while Allen should be going downhill and into opponent’s backfields on the vast majority of his snaps, the ability to drop into coverage would help with James Bettcher’s blitz schemes. Allen’s hand usage is very good for a player coming out of college and he shows a variety of moves to keep blockers from locking in on him and absorbing his first step. He isn’t a power rusher, but does show solid strength when setting an edge in the run game.Pointing out the negatives in Allen’s game is really an exercise in nitpicking. He has good bend compared to most pass rushers, but there is some slight lower-body tightness that can compromise his balance when trying to accelerate while turning a tight corner. He could also do a better job of exploiting inside rushing lanes when they present himself. Allen would be an outstanding addition to the Giants’ defense, but while almost anything is possible in the draft, it is very unlikely that he lasts to the sixth overall pick
