Despite a rocky start to No. 3 pick Abdul Carter’s rookie season with the Giants, which included a second benching Monday against the Patriots, Giants general manager Joe Schoen remains extremely confident in the young linebacker.
Carter sat out the start of Monday’s game because of a coach’s decision, which was reportedly due to missing part of a team responsibility, according to the New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy. It’s the second time he did not start due to a coach’s decision in the last three games. Schoen spoke to reporters Tuesday during his bye week news conference where he asserted his utmost confidence in the rookie defender moving forward.
