After the Giants 31-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday, veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins expressed his frustration with defensive coordinator James Bettcher.

"You've got to use your weapons. I'm the only one in the league that doesn't travel (w/the opponents top WR). I don't understand why," Jenkins said. "It's common sense. I'm on the left side of the field all game. I get two passes thrown my way. All the top corners in the league travel. Rabbit doesn't travel anymore."

Jenkins had one tackle and one pass defended in the game, while going up against a good Green Bay receiving corp. WR Allen Lazard had three catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while WR Davante Adams had six catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns.

 

Jenkins would go on to mention that he doesn't plan on saying something to Bettcher, while asking reporters to "go ask him" why he's being used that way.

"I don't have to complain. I have to play football," Jenkins said.

The 31-year-old Jenkins has been with the Giants since 2016, after signing a five-year, $62.5 million contract with the team.
