    Why do you think Walker is a joke? Seriously. He's played well in the preseason. Next to Bush, he's probably played better in the games than any other corner.

      From what I remember he isn't very fast. Once he loses a step on a guy, that's it, he is burned. Kind of reminds me of Manual in that respect so I am probably a little more biased against him because of Manual. Without Manual screwing everything up, I wouldn't be so critical on the rest of them. So you are probably right and I am probably way out there with this call.

        I thought Culver had a poor preseason. Got beat deep by a Tight End in one game. I like Peprah. I also like Frank Walker. Has the physical ability to play tight bump coverage. He could be useful if anything ever happened to Al Harris.
        I can't run no more
        With that lawless crowd
        While the killers in high places
        Say their prayers out loud
        But they've summoned, they've summoned up
        A thundercloud
        They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

          Actually, Walker is pretty fast. His biggest problem with the Giants was that he was overaggressive. I haven't seen that this preseason.

            If you say it's so then I believe you. Again, I only watched him a few plays. I watched Bigby and Manual mostly. I was one of the lon Bogby supporters after the Steelers game when most people wanted him cut.

              I think Demovsky is pretty spot on with how I feel. Actually, it's not just close, but it's exactly what I think it will be. Havner might not want to buy a house yet though. I could see them replacing him also.

                What about Rouse? I haven't heard much about him accept bitching.

                  Can't say I'm surprised. The guy's small.
                  You're from Florida, though. You've seen the guy and he hits like a hammer and is very instinctive. He might just be hurt or something. He looked good in college.

                    Not sure what you mean by this. I think Rouse is a long-term project. They think they have something with the guy, but it will take time. He played a lot of LB in college, and hasn't had to cover a lot. I think they hope he'll be a good special teams player this year.

                      That's what I wanted to know Harve. People I know have done nothing but bitch about the guy and I never really watched but a few plays after I heard stuff the first time.

                        He's been pretty invisible. When considering how inexperienced in coverage he is, that is not necessarily a bad thing. Invisible is solid. Visible can be great or bad.

                            He also had problems playing the ball as a Giant; similar to Carroll. Have not seen that weakness as of yet

                              Cool, great info. I now feel smarter which is saying a lot because after reading some posts I somehow feel dumber, if that's possible
