Brian Daboll explains Giants surprising playing time decisions

There were several head-scratching playing time decisions made by the New York Giants in Sunday’s lopsided 28-6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Head coach Brian Daboll tried to explain some of them on Monday afternoon.

16 snaps for Jalin Hyatt?

The second-year wide receiver is one of the team’s primary deep threats. He worked with the first team all spring and summer. Yet, with the Giants relying on a lot of heavy personnel packages with an extra tight end, and with Darius Slayton on the field the majority of the time, Hyatt played only 16 snaps and had no catches on just one target.
