Six free agent options to fill the Giants’ open roster spot
NorthJersey.com-USA TODAY NETWORK The Giants once again have an open roster spot. Which free agents might they look at? Monday was a “good news, bad news” kind of day for the New York Giants. First, they learned that DeAndre Baker only suffered a knee sprain and avoided a torn ACL, but then that sigh of relief was quickly followed by Amba Etta-Tawo being lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. So the Giants once again have an open roster spot after a season-ending injury to a wide receiver. Last time the Giants filled out their roster by signing free agent wideouts T.J....

NorthJersey.com-USA TODAY NETWORK Tests confirm a sprained knee for CB DeAndre Baker, WR Amba Etta-Tawo carted off The New York Giants are able to breathe a small sigh of relief Monday. After extensive testing, including an MRI, rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker has been diagnosed with a sprained knee.

While the Giants hoped it was just a sprain, the fear was that one of their starting corners had torn an ACL. Fortunately, the tests put that fear to rest and confirmed...

DeAndre Baker | Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports Cross your fingers! New York Giants rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker, the 30th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft, is headed for an MRI on his knee.

This “uh-oh” news about Baker, the team’s starting cornerback opposite veteran Janoris Jenkins, worsens an already tenuous situation at cornerback for the Giants. Grant Haley missed...

Film Study: Giants’ secondary, part 1 - the starters
Dennis Schneidler-USA TODAY Sports Let’s take a closer look at how the Giants’ new secondary fared against the Jets Much of the New York Giants offseason has been spent wondering what the rebuilt secondary will look like in 2019.

We finally got...

Will Giants’ young cornerbacks be up the NFL challenge?
DeAndre Baker | NorthJersey.com-USA TODAY NETWORK Which players are stepping up? Let’s look at how things are going in training camp The New York Giants have six young cornerbacks who have never played an NFL snap, and a seventh who has just 10 games of NFL experience. Rolling with such a young and unknown group in 2019 is a huge gamble, one that will go a long way toward determining whether or not the Giants’ defense shows improvement in 2019. Speaking about his defense as a whole, GM Dave Gettleman said recently that its overwhelming amount of youth “excites me.” “They’ll...

Giants’ cornerbacks an unknown quantity entering 2019 season
DeAndre Baker (left) and Julian Love. | NorthJersey.com-USA TODAY NETWORK Young, largely untested group will be asked to learn in a hurry Analytics-drive studies of NFL defenses increasingly push the idea that pass coverage rather than pass rush is more important when it comes to slowing down opposing passing attacks. It’s an idea that Dan Pizzuta looked at in trying to determine why the New England Patriots, with the same number of sacks as the New York Giants in 2018, had a better defense and won a Super Bowl while the Giants went 5-11 and missed the playoffs for the sixth time in...
