Giants and Abdul Carter know they have to fix rookie’s mounting mess

Abdul Carter is going to have to grow up fast.

The Giants rookie, who was benched for the first quarter against the Patriots for missing a meeting for the second time in three weeks, responded Tuesday to defensive co-captain Dexter Lawrence saying that he wants to see Carter “grow up.”

“I take it,” Carter said. “The guys who say that are guys I look up to, guys I respect. If they say something like that, I’ve got to look at myself first and say ‘What am I doing? How can I get better?’ And prove to them that I can earn their respect, grow up and be where I’m supposed to be.”

Giants radio analyst Carl Banks — a Ring of Honor member as a great linebacker — also said “it’s time for the kid to grow up” during the broadcast.
