Former Giants star and current radio analyst Carl Banks has openly criticized a fellow Giant, cornerback Deonte Banks, during a recent episode of the “Bleav in Giants” podcast.

Banks, who previously stirred the pot by critiquing Dexter Lawrence earlier this season, has now set his sights on Deonte Banks. The young cornerback’s tackling efforts and his role in allowing critical third-and-long conversions have come under scrutiny, leaving him with fewer defenders among his teammates.

“If you were to stand on that field and watch pregame warmups and you had never seen Deonte Banks a day in your life, you’d be like, ‘This guy is a powerhouse,’” Carl Banks remarked. “He’s big, strong, and moves well. But once the game starts, he seems to play by his own rules.”

Deonte Banks, a first-round draft pick in 2023, has struggled to meet expectations. During the Giants’ narrow 16-13 loss at home to the Vikings, he found himself up against Minnesota’s star receiver Justin Jefferson. Unfortunately, he was unable to prevent a crucial 21-yard gain on a third-and-17 play that contributed to the Vikings’ game-winning drive.

Deonte Banks, a first-round pick in 2023 who has not lived up to the billing, was lined up opposite Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson on a third-and-17 that became a 21-yard gain on Minnesota’s game-winning drive during the Giants’ 16-13 home loss on Sunday.

The corner, 24, also got beat badly by Vikings running back Aaron Jones on a rush from Minnesota’s 13-yard line early in the third quarter, easily running by him for a first down.

Two months ago, Carl Banks took aim at Lawrence for not playing up to his Pro Bowl standards.

“Dexter Lawrence, nobody respects you anymore. Nobody,” Banks said in late October. “Your opponents do not — the pre-injury Dexter is not there in their heads. They don’t respect you. And there’s a difference. You’re on the field, they’re blocking you with a [five]-year backup center. You’re not making a difference. The old Dexter would. There are a lot of things that go into your performance, only you know what that is. Whether you’re still recovering or not, I’m just telling you now, I’m looking at enough tape to know that your opponents don’t respect you, not like they used to.”

Banks also had harsh words for rookie Abdul Carter earlier this month when the rookie pass rusher was benched at the start of a game against the Patriots, his second disciplinary benching in three weeks.

“It’s time for the kid to grow up,” Banks said during WFAN’s game broadcast. “I don’t advocate teammates fighting with each other, but it just seems like if we’re just finding this out now, this has got to have been a pattern going on all year. You got to care enough. And that’s losing football. That’s a losing locker room. When you have these types of things, and you don’t care enough to be engaged, and you have to be disciplined twice — how many other times has this happened and they just kind of overlooked it?”
