They're not all that questionable. They were going to have a real solid CB group before Peterson went down. They nabbed Sam Madison and RW McQuarters in free agency. This injury to Peterson probably bumps RW from the nickel spot up to starter. They also drafted Corey Webster out of LSU with the 11th pick in the 2nd round back in the 2005 draft. He's big and physical, and he has the makings of being pretty solid. He'll probably get full time nickel duty.

It's not a great CB situation but it's not a weakness either, even after the injury.

You saw what I saw. The g-nomes drafted 421 cbs and signed 692 more FAs when they heard we bolstered our WR corp, and the cowgirls went and signed TO, the trouble-maker/team wrecker.

I agree. I still think they are a team we can throw on though. I don't mind having a nickel corner starting against our #2s. We all saw how Walt Harris did and I would say he's on the same level as RW. Good thing the Giants don't have much of an interior defensive line.

Yeah RW can be victimized, especially on really deep routes.

Thing is, corner play goes hand in hand with DE play. Strahan and Osi tend to take a lot of pressure off those corners, so the Giants can probably get away with this CB situation. The only way we'll be able to take advantage of RW is if Strahan and Osi stay off Brunell's ass. Luckily we've got a couple of guys named Samuels and Jansen watching out for our QBs.
