He had a real nice start in his goal to be named Defensive Player of the Year last night despite being rotated out all night long. Schwartz really stayed to his gameplan in that regard.

Wow, that's a much heavier load that he had last year. That motor ran the whole game though! I remember him saying how much better that he felt going into the playoffs because of the reduced role that he had. Losing Jernigan is going to turn out to be a huge loss."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

It did appear that he played nearly the entire game. But you have to remember Jernigan is out. Cox and Jones were the best players on the field last night and it wasn’t even close. Aaron Donald is NOT the best DT in the league. It’s Cox. And he got better as the game progressed.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

Cox graded out at 92.0, and this was the PFF evaluation of him for the evening:
“Continuing right where he left off in 2017, Cox was dominant in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. From 48 snaps as a pass-rusher, he picked up seven total pressures, including a sack and three quarterback hits.”
Cox would’ve had a second sack, but it was nullified by an offside penalty on Derek Barnett."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

I think Barnett's penalties cost them each a sack is where he is going. Cox played a lot this game but I don't think he will see that every game. Atl is tough and the game was close. I can see Schwartz giving him some plays off when they have a nice lead or playing a less than stellar team. Let's face it when you play the best teams you play your best guys.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy
RIP
