Jackson at corner but he got hurt(micro-fracture) and they figured the only way for him to make the roster was at safety afterwards.I don't think they realized he'd flash this early.
RE: RE: Love seeing Bennet Jackson's name there ...
He is the CB the drafted that they switched to safety ... correct? If he can become one of the 2 team safety tandem - the Giants got a STEAL.
Or an indication of how badly they lack NFL talent at safety.. I hope that's not the case.
To me - this is the biggest deal. Anyone remember the second half of 2009 and 2010? Remember C.C. Brown? Bad safety play destroyed a 5-1 start in 2009. That team was still smokin' hot, had just DESTROYED the Raiders 41-7, and then Sean Payton and Drew Brees basically pantsed the Giant D and showed the entire league how shitty those safeties were.
Right now, we've got a wing and a prayer at Safety. I'll be freakin' THRILLED if Jackson and Collins play well. Hell, I'll be thrilled if the defense can crack the top 20.

I think he was drafted with the thought of switching him to safety.
Section - I think you are right. I think I remember reading (that he said) when the Giants called him they told him they were going to move him to Safety.
I am just glad that it seems like the experiment is working - which is not always the case. Because, God knows we can use the help at that position.
of the questions will start to be answered in the next few days. Today is first day of full pads and you get to see who the football players are and which of them are shorts and shells stars only.

Collins....sure
But Flowers/Odi can only impress so much without pads. Plus, it's always harder for OL to shine.

On several levels.
I am really hoping we know who the starting safeties are by at least the start of game 2 pre-season so they can get the most work and gel.
But mostly I am hoping we get out of camp healthy!

Flowers, LC, Odi will be fine, they're just a few practices into their rookie camp.
