hDeonte Banks made a bigger effort to own his mistake on the field than he did to get Jalen Hurts down on the ground.
Banks said Friday he addressed with his Giants teammates his lack of effort to tackle the Eagles quarterback during the fourth quarter of last week’s game before they all could see it during film review.
“I told them after the game that I had a bad play, before they even got a chance to see it,” Banks said. “I went to our team as a group.”

Led by head coach Brian Daboll, the coaches took the punitive tactic of scolding Banks but not taking away playing time.
Banks remained in last week’s game, said he wasn’t fined this week and was confirmed as a starter Monday against the Steelers by Daboll.
“We expect these guys every snap to play full speed to the tackle,” defensive coordinator Shane Bowen said. “That’s the standard we want to have here across the board. We’ve addressed it. Hopefully, moving forward, we can continue to see some progress in that regard from all our guys, too.”
