New York Giants' Secondary Faces Scrutiny After Joint Practice

Early Struggles Raise Concerns

The New York Giants entered training camp with high hopes for their young secondary, but a recent joint practice with the New York Jets exposed some glaring weaknesses.

Giants cornerbacks outside of Aaron Banks have struggled to contain top wide receivers, with Darnay Holmes and Cor'Dale Flott recording just 24 career starts combined.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) ranks the Giants' secondary as one of the worst in the NFL, casting doubt on their ability to make a significant impact this season.

Young Talent with Question Marks

Cornerback Concerns

Holmes, Flott, and Rodarius Williams have failed to impress in coverage, allowing opponents to gain significant yardage and scores.

Flott and McCloud have been particularly ineffective, allowing opposing receivers to dominate their matchups.

The Giants' reliance on inexperienced cornerbacks raises concerns about their ability to hold their own against top-tier offenses.

Front Four Investment

Despite the struggles in the secondary, the Giants have heavily invested in their front four, led by Leonard Williams and Dexter Lawrence.

The hope is that a strong pass rush will alleviate some of the pressure on the secondary, but it remains to be seen how effective this strategy will be.

The Giants' secondary will face a significant test in the upcoming weeks, as they prepare for the regular season.
