If only we had an expert in secondary play on staff who had a Super Bowl ring to figure out who are best CBs are.
Richard is obviously an idiot. Sorry he might have been good with seattle but he benched jourdan lewis the day he got here even after lewis being the best corner on the team at the end of 2017. All because of height nothing to do with ability. That's about as dinosaur and close minded as possible when it comes to evaluating talent. The cowboys front office said carl lawson's arms were too short for defensive end in 2017 draft. He had 8.5 sacks his rookie year with the bengals.

I really don't understand you guys that think the coaches would keep the "best DB" 4th in linebecause he doesn't meet some made up physical stature.
He was benched before the 2018 season in ota's. As soon as richard got here. There was a whole article about it. And ppl covering the team were surprised because he was the best corner on the team at the end of 2017. He had a slow start due to him having a hamstring through camp. But the kid's a baller. Shame he was benched due to size

I don't think this is fair, especially to compare him to Chido and Byron.

Just against the Giants...he had 27 coverage snaps, but that stat doesn't say how many times he had perfect coverage. And it also doesn't mention the fact that he's covering...I don't even know who. Scrubs lol.

The numbers are probably a lot different if he's covering top WRs. I like Lewis, but this is kind of a reach.

Great post.

Of course that was Lewis rookie year getting his feet wet, but in any case none of them get many INT's, but it seems to me Lewis is there to bat away more balls relative to his playing time than others. Admittedly that's just my perception, and I freely admit my perception may not line up with reality.
Eye test wins. "I'll take undervalued CBs for $800, Alex."

I like the kid
Kid can cover and is physical
I hope we trade Jones at the trade deadline and re-sign Lewis

I hope we keep both as long as we can. If we're going to trade anyone, trade Brown. Re-sign Jones and we have Awuzie and Lewis to pair with him for at least another year.

Really has the potential to become one of the best DB's on the NFL!



Love him and Byron think we might have one of the best duo shut down CB in the league!
Now SS or FS is another matter......coverage wise.

I've been saying it since he's been here. Best DB on the team. Completely wasted by Richard.

I'm also confused about why he didn't play more last year. I understand he's not a dream scheme fit, but he's a pretty good football player. Hopefully we fix that this year.

I don’t understand why they refused to give the ball to barkley even when they were up 7 down 7 and the game was tied at 7

You're not the only one -- both the Giants fans and some of those close to that organization are saying the same thing. Of course, the biggest reason why it didn't happen is because the score eventually got out of hand and they were trying to catch up through the air. That also might signal the promotion of Daniel Jones to starter a bit quicker than planned if their passing game can't get it done.

I don't think we have to worry about losing Lewis, because we're going to lose Byron Jones. I don't see any way Jones isn't an odd man out in free agency. You can't sign every good to great player, and after Dak and Amari's deals, there isn't going to be room for Jones.

There will be room for him if they want there to be.
