Giants Sign safety Mike Thomas

Is the second coming of OV just a step to late if he hit's the field in the secondary it's over done.

Oh no, somebody who has different political/social opinions than me. Nooooooo!!!!!!!

Good on specials and a good depth S who can back up at both safety spots. I think we still need a FS option to challenge Thompson.

depth at S.

no downside and a quality player

Definitely Berhe. I mean, what good is he, he's ALWAYS hurt.

I think Berhe is gone regardless (free agent)... some rookie will take his spot.

The guy who is vulnerable here with this signing is Andrew Adams.

signing that was influenced by one of our new coaches. In this case, our new DB coach Lou Anarumo, who was with the Dolphins. Thomas was hurt and IRd in December. It is possible his signing was delayed until he could pass a Giants physical. Thomas was coached by David Shaw at Stanford. Thomas will be a huge plus in the locker room.

As well, our new DE who was also a Stanford Man.

He knows how to spell Michael. That's a better start than the last guy.

He's a class guy and great locker room person. Works hard. Does things the right way and is excellent on special teams. He's not a guy you want to count on to get tons of snaps at safety, but he's solid when he gets his chances.

As for the kneeling and off the field stuff, he puts his time into it. He visits with local police departments, speaks at local schools and meets with community leaders every week.

Happy to see him in blue.

This is so stupid. Since you are happy to misinterpret his social justice activism as disrespect for the flag/troops/police, I am going to misinterpret your unhappiness as racism. Why don't you go watch hockey or nascar-i think you'll like them a lot more.

to see the Giants addressing Special Teams with a solid signing.

the roster in FA. Can all of them stick if they can't actually play in the nickel or dime effectively? I guess the obvious answer is no.

coverage should be much improved. Now lets get us a kicker, a punter, another CB and LB

D. Thompson, well, then Reese's drafts were not only BAD they were HELLISH BAD.

The Giants front 3 better stuff the run really well and the LB's better get pressures and QB hits.

I don't think our "2nd string" DB's can be considered "top half" NFL cover men types. Middle of the pack at best.

Nat Berhe is not a member or is under contract of the N.Y. football Giants

He is a free agent.....and I don’t think he’s in Gettleman’s plans

I have a better idea, why don't both of you abide by the rules of the Forum and keep your political views and accusations off the thread. Just because one Neanderthal makes a piss poor statement doesn't mean the next Neanderthal needs to call the other names.

I like Adams - but feel his better position is actually backing up Collins then a pure FS. He played well when Collins was hurt, I thought, albeit it was a short sample size.

He said Thomas is a solid player that won't make many plays but he won't hurt you on defense. As we know he said Thomas is an excellent special teams player.
