The defensive tackle can harness Giants legend Carl Banks ‘ call-out as healthy motivation to step up his play and lead the Giants (2-6) out of this two-game losing streak.

His performance Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) ultimately will answer that question. But Lawrence’s comments on Wednesday were not a good start.
