Giants Cornerback Problem Comes With a Major Risk

The Giants need answers at cornerback, but how far should they be willing to go to find one? New York's injuries, uncertainty between Paulson Adebo and Deonte Banks, and the visit with Terrion Arnold created a much bigger debate about where football need ends and unacceptable risk begins.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.How serious is the Giants' cornerback problem? The unofficial depth chart still lists Adebo ahead of Banks, but the practice usage discussed in this episode suggests the competition may be considerably closer than the chart makes it look—and injuries throughout the secondary only increase the pressure.A large part of the conversation centers on Arnold's visit. Arnold currently faces unresolved felony charges tied to serious allegations, and the discussion stays centered on the uncertainty surrounding the legal process, the risk involved for the Giants and what the visit itself says about their current level of concern at corner. The Giants have not signed him.Does merely exploring that option tell us more about the state of the Giants' secondary than the depth chart does?The first unofficial depth chart created several other contradictions. Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux share an OR designation even though Carter has been getting the first-team work discussed on the show. Odell Beckham Jr. sits in the third tier at wide receiver and now has a preseason opportunity to prove his receiving value can outweigh his lack of a significant special-teams role.Matt Nagy also gave us one of the night's more concerning quotes when he said the Giants are only halfway through both their run and pass installation. The positive side is that Nagy praised Jaxson Dart's command of what has already been installed. The concern is obvious: how comfortable should Giants fans be with that much of the offense still being built this close to the season?We also get into Darius Alexander's goal of becoming the NFL's most dominant defensive tackle, Malik Nabers' progress, the possibility of Dart and other starters seeing preseason snaps, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., the Ben Sauls–Dominic Zvada kicker competition, and Brandon Allen's bizarre place atop the preseason passing-yard leaderboard over the last decade.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
