A 340-pound defensive tackle might not be expected to have a lot of positional flexibility, New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence said Tuesday that Wink Martindale’s defense requires exactly that.
Now a fourth-year pro, the Clemson-raised run-stuffer told reporters that the Giants defense is a flexible one, with guys available to take on a wide range of duties.
“We play every position pretty much, so I don’t think it’s just necessarily I’m stuck in the middle being a run stopper,” said Lawrence. “Everybody can do anything in this defense, which is good. I can drop, I can rush off the edge, I can play linebacker, blitz, little things like that.
