Eagles OC Sean Mannion assured everyone that their offensive plans would continue to include the tush push as long as it continues to be extremely effective and can be executed well.
“It’s gonna be a part of what we do,” Mannion said. “It’s been an extremely effective play here. We’re going to lean into that. It’s something this organization has executed at a high level. So along with many other elements to our offense, certainly, it’s something that will be a part of it.”
Giants CB Deonte Banks enters the fourth year of his career and hasn’t recorded an interception since his rookie season in 2023. New York DC Dennard Wilson said he’s been impressed by Banks this offseason and is in a “different headspace” going into 2026.
“I think he had a helluva offseason. Tae has been one of those guys that’s kind of been running to coaching. He’s not running away from it. He’s in a different headspace. I think he’s enjoying the scheme. I think the players want to see him have success. We as coaches want him to be the best version of him. To me it’s not living up to the first[-round] pick. It’s about him being the best player he can be. He knows that we’re invested him, just like all the other players. He has a new opportunity, and he has to make the best of his opportunity,” Wilson said, via Steve Serby of the New York Post.
As for whether Banks will be their No. 2 cornerback this season, Wilson called it an “open competition.”
“It’s open competition in that room,” Wilson said. “All of them have an opportunity.”
Regarding second-round CB Colton Hood, Wilson has been impressed with his toughness, ball skills, and intelligence.
“He loves football. He’s a tough guy. Outstanding ball skills. Ultra-competitive, intelligent football player,” Wilson said.
