Of his interception Lalos said:
“We were just running a basic pass rush twist and coach (Patrick) Graham always talks about running out of the stack. That means the defensive linemen are following the ball once it’s thrown. It’s a good habit of hustle and it worked out in my favor. I saw the quarterback released the ball and I wasn’t able to get there on the rush, so I turned around and saw Darnay (Holmes) make a good pass deflection and saw the ball was in reach, so I dove out for it."
More from the story:
One of the main reasons Lalos has reached this point is due to the special bond he has formed with defensive coordinator, Patrick Graham. It all started with a common connection as Lalos’ defensive line coach at Dartmouth, Duane Brooks, also coached Graham at Yale.
And GiantsWire on his chances of getting called back up from the practice squad:
Outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday with a calf injury, which means Lalos should be back up with the 53-man roster and he expects to find out from his coaches as the week progresses.
If he is indeed activated again, Lalos could see a healthy amount of snaps versus the Seahawks as the Giants are now razor-thin at edge rusher.

After a few paragraphs TigerBlog takes a look back at the 2018 Dartmouth-Princeton battle of the unbeatens (HERE).
And if you need a smile (Don't we all these days?) TB shares a link to a video about Princeton defensive coordinator Steve Verbit spending part of his fall coaching 5, 6 and 7-year-olds. (LINK)

From the local newspaper (LINK):
A COVID-19 outbreak at a Hanover nursing home has grown to include at least 20 residents and more test results are still pending, according to the town’s health officer.
As of yesterday Hanover was reporting 27 COVID cases with seven more next door in Lebanon.

This is a sweet little video that gives a glimpse of the fall quarter at Dartmouth and a few venues around the Upper Valley. No football, no athletics and no classrooms, but it's still worth watching to get a sense of what it's been like:

EXTRA POINT
Most days at this time of year our post office box is stuffed with one, two or three catalogues trying to entice us to spend money for the holidays. Don't tell Mrs. BGA but while most of them go straight into recycling at the post office I usually bring the Sharper Image catalogue home to check out what new and outrageous toys they are offering. This one featured an arcade-sized Pac-Man game for the princely sum of $2,995, a "Motorized Pool Lounger" for $199.99 and a "Hovering Curling Set" with air-propelled "stones" for $129.99. The Human Touch Gravity Chair for $5,199 wasn't in this one, but it might be in the next.
I would never buy a Gravity Chair or Pac-Man game or a Motorized Pool Lounger (the curling might tempt me ;-), but just looking at them on the Sharper Image pages offers a few minutes of mindless diversion, something we can all use these days. Except . . .
. .. Except the Sharper Image catalogue that I brought home last week was anything but a diversion. I opened it up on the inside front cover and facing page were photos and descriptions of just seven items, none what you might call arcade games:
• Travel UV Sanitizing Wand - $79.99
• Personal Air Purifier - $79.99
• Wireless Charging Station with UV Sanitizer - $99.99
• Silent Air Purifier - $299
• Infrared No Contact Thermometer - $149.99
• Ionic Comfort Quadra Air Purifier (with space-saving tower design) - $349.99
I suppose it's a sign of the times but I think I'll double-check that next Sharper Image catalogue before I decide to bring it home.
