He looks lost out there, why is he always in off coverage and giving free releases. He was considered a press man corner. All i ever see is him trailing receivers.
But I will say that his strength is not being utilized. He is more of a press man CB, they seem to be asking him to play very soft zone. Not sure why, maybe he is still nursing an injury.
As mentioned before, Webster was pretty bad for about 2 1/2 seasons, then turned into a stud. Patience.
Bettcher isn't doing anyone on this defense any favors. These young guys are clueless trying to figure out what they are doing and Baker is lost. He needs to simplify the defense and let these guys learn how to play at the NFL level without confusing the shit out of them.
And Bethea was supposed to be a coach on the field to help settle this down. Through 2 games, it's not working.
For his terrific man coverage. So what do the Giants do? Put him in zone coverage. I have no idea why we traded 2 picks to move up for this guy considering it wasn’t even a scheme fit and there were a ton of other similarly-rated CBs still on the board at the point they traded up for him. Makes no sense. It’s like Gettleman traded up simply because he had planned on doing so at some point and had the picks to make the move.
but to put it lightly, he has stunk through the first 2 games.
Some of it is scheme...why they have him playing 15 yards off on 3rd and medium is beyond me. Why they have him playing off period doesn't make sense. He was a press man corner in college.
I think he did pull it together a bit in the 2nd half because he was on track to give up about 300 yards after the first half.
You can tell he is thinking too much and not playing with any confidence.
He didnt earn his spot, it was handed to him. Maybe he is not fully healed but he is not ready to be a starter. Can't call him a bust but he missed the important part of camp and we are throwing him to the wolves.

Webster was one of the more remarkable turnarounds to be honest.
Sometimes you'll see a guy to a diff team and respond, but Webster seemed to have the light bulb literally go on overnight.

Maybe Giants have a culture issue that is affecting his play...
Baker does not have the tools of those guys, not even close.
Well said
The kid is a talent....give him a chance.
That is just an idiotic question.
