WR

Samuel NYDN: NY Giants WR Victor Cruz can be the same player after injury, says ex-Jet Jim Leonhard
Like Cruz, Leonhard tore tore his patellar tendon three years ago as a Jet and has returned from an injury some consider an NFL death sentence to play 37 straight games. He did warn, however, that it will be a long, hard road back for the Giants' No. 1 receiver
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/victor-cruz-player-injury-ex-jet-jim-leonhard-article-1.1973951

@ebenezersamuel: Fans, know that Victor Cruz will experience setbacks next year. Per Leonhard, he'll have days where he practices and scar tissue breaks up.

CB

@PFF_Pete: Trumaine McBride played 117 slot coverage snaps this season, Walter Thurmond 33. No other Giants CB has more than 5.

@PFF_Pete: Trumaine McBride is a significant loss. +10.7 @PFF coverage grade, just 3 TD allowed last 2 seasons. #Giants

@PFF_Pete: Jayron Hosley played slot for the Giants in 2012, but allowed a 123.2 QB rating from that spot. Not a comforting option. #Giants

@ebenezersamuel: Jayron Hosley said he's mostly been practicing at the nickel, although he's also worked some on the outside.

@PFF_Pete: Giants could slide Antrel Rolle to the slot, but that's frankly the worst spot for him. Struggles in man-to-man vs quick WRs.
