Campbell usually likes to wait to until he can break down the film before heaping praise on individuals for their performance, but asked after the game if there were any players that stood out just from first glance, Campbell didn’t hesitate.
“Yeah, (receiver) Isaiah (Williams) really showed up,” Campbell said. “He made some plays out there and that was clear. He did some really good things that showed up.
“Defensively, we’re going to know a lot more when we watch the tape, but I did think (defensive lineman Mekhi) Wingo did some things. You can fit him a little bit in there. I thought (linebacker) Malik (Jefferson) made some plays. Long guy for the position. (Safety) C.J. Moore went in there and made some plays. I thought (cornerback) Ennis (Rakestraw Jr.) had a good showing too, at corner early in the game.”
Williams led the team with four catches for 35 yards in rainy, wet conditions. Wingo nearly had a sack and had a couple other nice rushes that set up plays for teammates. Jefferson was tied for the team-lead with four tackles and also had a tackle for loss. Moore had three tackles and Rakestraw had a couple nice tackles, including a third-down tackle that ended an early Giants drive.
Campbell also mentioned punter Jack Fox, kicker Jake Bates and rookie running back Sione Vaki as players who impressed him.
