“#Giants have their hands full with ‘special’ Cowboys receivers<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

If defensive coordinator Patrick Graham is working on a secret cornerback cloning machine, now would be a good time to unveil it.<\/p>\n

As the Giants learned last time they faced the Cowboys, gluing Pro Bowler James Bradberry to Amari Cooper only accomplishes so much when Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb also are No. 1-caliber wide receivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll three of these guys could fit into that label of being a top receiver for a team and a feature matchup guy,\u201d Giants coach Joe Judge said.<\/p>\n

What distinguishes the Cowboys\u2019 trio? The stats tell part of the story, as Cooper, Gallup and Lamb are responsible for 210 catches, 2,759 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 15 game<\/a>s. Darius Slayton, the Giants\u2019 leader in receiving yards, would be fourth on the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get a lot of receivers throughout the league who maybe are bigger, faster targets who are downfield threats. Then you get other guys who are maybe kind of smaller, quicker that are catch-and run threats,\u201d Judge said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys all have good size, they have very good speed, they can build their speed and hold their speed down the field, they have good hands to make contested catches, but they do an exceptional job of extending plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plays from recent game tapes live fresh in Judge\u2019s mind: Cooper on a slant, Gallup on a screen, Lamb settling over the middle. All big gainers without the risk of a deep shot.<\/p>\n

You might first think of running back Ezekiel Elliott when it comes to the Cowboys offense, but it\u2019s the receiving corps that makes this such a difficult matchup for the Giants in more ways than one.<\/p>\n
