This is for all the recliner analysts on this site:
Has he taken solid steps forward in his development since Week 1?
I’m not expecting him to be compared to anyone but when he was drafted, I questioned the pick over the other top cb still on the board. I really like him in Georgia and like every Giants fan want him to turn into a solid cb for us for years to come.
How awsome would it be to have DG hit on all 3 first round picks as solid starters for this team!
Haven't heard his name in awhile which is usually a good thing for corners and OLmen
He's young, he'll have his bright spots and dark spots, but he does look like a starter for the next few years.

He got beat for a TD last week. Stumbled out of his break or he may have been able to make a play on the ball.
funny
I'll take it.
Why do you think he gave up those big plays? It’s a completely different world when you have the eyes in the backfield and you’re asked to read the qb, LOS, and wr route combinations all at once in the nfl
His strength is still man coverage but clearly he’s reacting better and he’s stopped giving up the overhead big plays because he’s reading the field better.
He’s gonna keep improving
And that penalty was huge. And it was Stupid (capitalized on purpose).
I can hardly remember the last time I saw a Giants' DB making a play like that on an RB racing to the corner.
That was a terrific textbook form play. He has made several plus plays vs the run the past two weeks, and he's looked good doing it.
What concerns me is that he has probably below avg ( for the NFL) speed and quickness. He seems to fall behind receivers regularly. His tackling is suspect, I think because he can’t change directions as fast as the players he is trying to bring down.
Let’s see how this evolves.

The kid can tackle. He is starting to show up making plays more often like the one you mentioned.
Think he has passed JJ as the #1 CB.
In fact, once JJ and Haley are off the field, the coverages may get better - they could hardly get worse.

Agreed. He is playing better and doing a pretty good job the last few games but his lack of speed and quickness is pretty evident by watching him. Others have overcome it so let's see how he continues to grow.
I also see him almost lackadaisical sometimes on the field. Hope he continues to improve.
