Just curious to see who you guys think wins the job.
William gay the veteran? Does he have anything left? Outside of him it seems like deayon will have a shot and a lot of undrafted rookies or journeymen. Some of the undrafted kids seem like they showed promise in the rookie camp but there's a long way to go. You need 3 strong corners. Hopefully we have good health and someone steps up.
Who do you guys think is the starting slot corner vs the jags?

Yeah, an injury to one of our corners could quickly put a gaping hole in our defense. Hopefully one of these UDFA corners can step up and take the #3 or #4 spot. Would like to see Gettleman try to make a deal for a cornerback, but I doubt many teams are eager to trade starting corner quality players. If I had to put money down I'd say William Gay would be our opening day slot corner.

Grant Haley has been getting really intriguing praise early on. I like the fact he's rooming with Barkley as well so hopefully Saquon's mindset and work ethic will rub off on him easily. They were teammates at PSU as well. I'm rooting for the UDFA.

Look for A. Davis an UDFA from GA to become a longshot nickel starter.

I've heard a lot of praise for both Haley and davis. Hopefully one of them is the answer. There are still some veterans out there if they wanted to go that route. I'm not sure if they have the cap space to do so.

I have no idea. I thought it was a huge mistake to let Cockrell walk. I guess we will see who scrambles to the top of the pile.

I think both G. Haley and Deayon will be the nickel backs. Outside corners besides Jenkins and Apple, A. Davis is a possibility, has good size and smarts

Deayon showed some flashes last year. He could end up being higher on the depth chart if his progression continues,

Deayon is great in coverage, but he is not big enough to stop the run. That is why they brought in cochrell last season. But to Deyons credit, he is very popular, and they said he was the only cb who could cover OBJ in practice. Grant haley and Aaron Davis are intriguing. It should work itself out.

I like the fact they signed a few vets, brought back deayon and then added some undrafted guys. Lots of guys to compete. We only need 2-3 to play decent for us and we should be alright with janoris and dare I say eli apple bouncing back and playing well.

Damn sucks for Cockrell. Can we stop talking about him now?

Wow, he was the only player I thought might have been worth keeping. That decision turned out for the Giants.

What looks thin now could be even worse by then But I realize Gettleman could not fix this whole mess in one off season so I will be patient and just enjoy football again. We've waited over 6 months and I have to believe with the changes he was able to make we will see a marked improvement and major progress over last year. That's all we can ask for. |
