ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Davis Webb hasn’t played in a game in over a week.
Yeah, that explanation won’t hold much water if the Giants’ backup quarterback has another clunky performance in Friday night’s preseason meeting with the Lions. It worked much better last week when his disappointing outing against the Browns could be talked away due to rust and amped-up excitement following almost a full year without seeing any live reps against an opposing team. Which is why this is the game that Webb really needs to stand out in to establish himself as the clear backup quarterback in the Giants’ hierarchy.
