Bolts From The Blue
Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter and the Chargers defense may have just gotten some welcomed news on Tuesday morning as NFL insider Adam Schefter announced that the 0-3 Giants will be benching Russell Wilson and starting rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in Week Four.
Wilson has been on a roller-coaster path through the first three weeks of the season and it looks like Brian Daboll isn’t going to let that be what inevitably controls his fate as the head coach of the G-Men.
For those that haven’t followed the Giants this season all that close, Wilson threw for under 200 yards and had zero touchdowns in both Weeks One and Three. However, he threw for over 450 yards against the Cowboys in Week Two but that still ultimately ended in a loss.
One would think this means Jesse Minter will be chomping at the bit to harass and abuse a rookie quarterback in his first ever start. Even with the defensive injuries, the Chargers have been as stingy as they come with defensive rankings across the board in the top 10, including being the fourth best in points allowed per game.
With the full week to prepare for the Giants’ new starting quarterback, you can likely expect an evil genius-level defensive game plan from Minter and Co. in with the hopes of making it debut the rookie will surely never forget.
