The #Giants are signing veteran safety Duke Ihenacho, source said. Help on the back end
Redskins.com last January  
Defenderdawg : 5/24/2017 6:59 pm : link
"Ihenacho - who was claimed off waivers by the Redskins prior to the 2015 season - was able to stay healthy for the entire 2016 season, tallying the most defensive snaps among the team's safeties with 636.

While the San Jose State product had his productive moments, he also understands that there's room for growth and the opportunity to make more game changing plays.

Despite finishing third on the team in tackles (77), Ihenacho did not create any turnovers.

"I wish I could have got my hands on a couple of more balls," Ihenacho said. "Obviously I'm really critical of myself in meetings. I know I can get better, I know there's a lot of plays I missed out on that I regret not capitalizing on."

He got knocked out at the home game against the Skins  
adamg : 5/24/2017 7:05 pm : link
I was there and remember how that situation was pretty scary, given how long he was laid out on the field. Glad to see he wasn't knocked off the field for too long.

Also, can't hurt have vet safety depth.
Love the name  
Jimmy Googs : 5/24/2017 7:05 pm : link
And look forward to anybody other than Andrew Adams out there...
Confirmed

Well done Jerry the ninja.
There is a ton of competition on the roster at safety  
DavidinBMNY : 5/24/2017 8:23 pm : link
This is a surprise signing to me, but I like it. I just hope it isn't a sign one of the players already on the roster can't give it a go.

The question is, who did they let go? Is Behre/M Thompson still here?
The Duke  
noro9 : 5/24/2017 8:36 pm : link
Of prunes
Thompson  
Samiam : 5/24/2017 9:01 pm : link
I read somewhere that Thompson is working out with the CBS. Plus with his & Behrle's injury situation,anything you get is gravy.

Personally I believe we need a Valentine and Winthorp in our defense after signing Duke.

Duke Ihenacho  
Big_Pete : 5/24/2017 11:53 pm : link
This is a solid signing imho.

Ihenacho does have solid veteran experience which is probably something similar to our singing of Rahim Moore. That is something the front office is obviously looking for this off-season.

If you look at how our safety depth is shaping up, Collins and Adams are decent, but after that we have a lot of younger largely unproven players with the likes of D.Thompson, M.Thompson, Berhe, Pinkins, Johnson, Murphy and Robinson

Berhe, D.Thompson and M.Thompson have ability, but they do need to show they can stay healthy.

Either way the competition for safety is shaping up to be quite strong this off-season.

A slip up, I meant to say Collins is great and Adams is decent...
Doesn't hurt to add more competition to the safety group  
ZogZerg : 5/25/2017 6:12 am : link
We will see how things shake out during training camp.
You have a bunch of bodies,  
Doomster : 5/25/2017 6:55 am : link
but that doesn't mean there is competition.

We only have one proven player, and that is Collins.
I remember seeing him play for Denver  
I Love Clams Casino : 5/25/2017 7:43 am : link
a few years back and just flying all over the field making tackles. I remember thinking "I'd love to have that guy"

Hope he's the same player he was back then

Yes, Landon Collins is the only proven player. FS A. Adams can "hold the fort" again if need be but I'd prefer D. Thompson to be healthy and starting all year. Ihenacho adds depth, a possible 5th safety and special teams player?
Hmmm..

While that might be a competition, determining the worst poster is getting easier every fucking day.
The value route  
JonC : 5/25/2017 8:30 am : link
at FS, create competition and let the vets push the youngsters.

Adams is ok but needs the reps to quickly develop some play recognition so he can get involved in getting to the ball/carrier and finishing quicker.
odds of of DT staying healthy  
ColHowPepper : 5/25/2017 10:01 am : link
and on the field all year are pretty slim, I would wager. Maybe we'll be surprised, but we definitely need bodies at the S position
Seems like a really smart
