Pierre-Paul pulls a promise out of his sack

Jason Pierre-Paul knows how to keep a promise. The Giants defensive end received a visit from a 7-year-old fan named Hayden — who is battling cancer — last week as the Garden of Dreams Foundation arranged for him to visit the team facility.

Hayden showed Pierre-Paul what his touchdown dance would be and the Giants pass-rusher told the young fan he would get a sack and do the dance for him.

Not only did Pierre-Paul fulfill the promise, he got two more sacks as well against Denver.

“That meant a lot, man. I told him I was going to get a sack, I didn’t tell him how many I was going to get,” Pierre-Paul said. “It just is exciting to know I can do that for him ... He’s been through so much already and already knows what it takes to go through so much and he’s just a little kid, he’s going to keep fighting and do the dance and he does it better to me, but I made sure he knows I do it for him.”

Pierre-Paul said he has not been in touch with Hayden or his family, but plans to reach out soon.

OV OUT AGAIN

Olivier Vernon (ankle) is among five Giants ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.

LB Jonathan Casillas (neck), LB Calvin Munson (quad), RB Paul Perkins (ribs) and C Weston Richburg (concussion) are also out.

WR Sterling Shepard is questionable.

It is the third straight game Vernon will miss after initially injuring his ankle Week 3 against the Eagles. He attempted to play the following week against the Buccaneers but left the game after the first half and has not played since.

Vernon was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice but was not on the field on Thursday. Head coach Ben McAdoo did not say that there was a setback.

“We decided to leave him in for treatment,” he said. “He was limited (on Wednesday). He did more than he did in previous weeks.”

McAdoo also added that Shepard, who was limited in Friday’s walkthrough practice, could potentially line up as an outside receiver as opposed to the slot.

“He can play outside depending on which personnel group is on the field,” McAdoo said. “We’re confident in all those guys to play inside or outside.”

WHAT’S MAC DO NOW?

McAdoo delegated the playcalling to offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan last week and the expectation is that it will remain that way this weekend against the Seahawks.

So has that allowed the Giants head coach to spend more time with the defense and special teams?

“Everyone gets a piece of me,” he said on Friday.

McAdoo did offer some insight into the biggest difference, which he said is getting the chance to interact with the players more during the course of the game.

“You look at the game in a different lens when you’re not calling,” he said. “I think your personality may come out a little bit more, move around a little bit more ... I think there are advantages and disadvantages to it but I can interact with the players a lot more in all three phases.”
