The worst thing you can call an NFL player is “soft.” After the New York Giants’ embarrassing 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, two players used that word to describe the way the team played.
“We played soft, and they beat the shit out of us today,” said star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence.
“We missed a lot of tackles, we didn’t contain [Buccaneers quarterback] Baker [Mayfield] well in the scrambles, we didn’t cover well, it’s soft to me. I don’t think we lack effort; I think we’re just not doing well tackling and covering on defense.
