CrazedDogs Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Wasn't he with the team in 2017 too? Iirc, he was a relative bright spot in an awful unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was disappointed they let him go as well. He was the lone bright spot that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Good signing, three years older now though, not an outside guy anymore but he can fill in the slot ASAP. Lets the Giants focus on getting Bellantine/Love ready for the outside role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondary was going to be a liability anyways, Baker still was showing signs of regression near last year. Honestly though Bradberry signing looks like a genious move now. He's going to shadow a teams #1 all game, and then the Giants will just rotate whoever they think has the best match up against teams Y and Z.

UK-Giantsfan Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 we have no pass rush and a lot of holes in the secondary ........this could be another long year but i like the signing of Cockrell. ( i just hope that Love can improve quickly too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( i just hope that Love can improve quickly too ) Outside of CB#2 I think the secondary is better. Bradburry is an immediate upgrade over Jenkins simply because Bradburry is consistent and he covers WRs week in and out, whereas Jenkins would have one good game then three bad ones. The nickle/slot has a plethora of options, McKinney is a great slot/nickle player, Holmes was considered one of the best nickle CBs in the draft, Love can play the position, Peppers is alright there, Cockrell as well now. The safeties are better since Bethea won't be near the starting lineup lol Love/Peppers, McKinney/Peppers, Love/McKinney are all great combinations. The second guy on the outside is up for grabs, let the CBs fight it out for the spot. Mostly I'm just glad the Giants have youth, much like at the Oline at these positions. We have talent that just has to be developed and show up. Unlike the last three years of relying on free agent journeymen to fill these spots.

BlueInCanada Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hold your horses fellas. Reports are that both sides were not able to come to an agreement on the contract. He's still a FA for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hope he gets back on the team, if for no other reason than his name sounds like "cock girl." He'd pair really well with Kyler Fackrell on the radio play-by-play. "Prescott drops back... Fat Girl gets the sack... balls loose... and Cock Girl swoops in for the score! Fat Girl and Cock Girl with the double team on Prescott... and the Giants are up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
