Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence feels a lot like Giants fans: frustrated with the team’s performance after two weeks of the season.
“It’s gonna get better, obviously. Right now it’s just rough,” Lawrence said. “I’m pissed because I hate losing with a passion. I take that hard, losing. I really don’t like it. It’s just something that I’m not going to keep accepting.
I want to see this team grow and be as good as we put on throughout the week in practice. It’s just that one day, that Sunday or that Thursday or whatever day. We’ve got to show up.”
Lawrence pointed out that the current issues on defense are “bad tackling and penalties,” and he wishes he didn’t have to wait until Sunday to prove that the Giants are serious about fixing those problems.
“It sucks you’ve got to wait a whole week just to get back on the field after a tough loss like that. I enjoy the process. I know I’m going to do everything I’ve got to do to get myself ready to play,” Lawrence said.
This Sunday, the Giants will be in Cleveland, where they are 6.5-point underdogs and could face an 0-3 start, which would only make Lawrence more upset.
