John Schmeelk and Paul Dottino preview the team's secondary.


As an aside, what's with all of these rumors I've been hearing about the Giants looking to trade Jabrill Peppers? I don't know where they originated...I get a ton of Giants videos in my recommendations, most of which are from channels with very few subscribers that I generally ignore, but things like this spread like wildfires in the offseason. It's a little disconcerting.

Man oh man...

... it's impossible not to get excited about this secondary.

Interesting about Peppers, I guess I haven't been reading a ton but I haven't seen that anywhere.

There doesn't appear to be anything to substantiate these rumors. It might just be YouTubers looking for views.

I havent heard much on it but he is in a contract year and we have McKinney so who knows. I prefer to keep him, hes a good player and seems like he enjoys playing for the Giants. An easy guy to root for.
The secondary is becoming one of the strongest positions on the team

If there is any position we can say is loaded it’s the secondary.  
BillT : 7/22/2021 11:22 am : link
This group has talent and depth. The safety group of Peppers, McKinney, Ryan and Love must be as good as any in the league. Bradbury is a Pro Bowler and we added Jackson, Robinson and Williams to Holmes and Yaidom. And it’s a group where so many of them can play multiple positions. So looking forward to seeing them in action. And I think the trading Peppers stuff is nonsense. I think he’ll be our top priority to resign this offseason.
Jabrill Pepper  
Jimmy Googs : 7/22/2021 11:26 am : link
Started poorly last season by showing undisciplined play and his tendency to run around a bit without a gameplan. But to his credit (and probably the coaching) his brain started to catch up to his physical talents as the season went on, and it showed in his steadier performances week-to-week.

He still struggles a good bit in pass coverage and is clearly targeted by QBs, particularly on 3rd down.

I was wondering if the Giants were going to try and draft his potential replacement this spring as the dollars may not make sense when those next contract talks start...
I think Peppers is special

Maybe not great in coverage,as noted, but a playmaker. A guy who can be a great blitzer from anywhere on the field and come up with a tide-changing turn-over.
I also think he's a leader and got on the phone (or internet, I'm dated) and persuaded some of the free agents to come on board.
If so, not the kind of player you like to lose....but maybe inevitable.
The rumors about Peppers...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/22/2021 2:06 pm : link
seem to have come from a few Twitter accounts that speculate what pre-season moves are going to be made.

It seems like people throwing shit on a wall and it was picked up by others and spread.
I really like the make-up...

of this secondary. Seems like it's built with parts that are pretty multiple.

Hopefully Jackson, a signing I did not like for the costs, rebounds to prior form. Because I think the overall success is going to hinge on his contribution.
Has Sam Beal reported?

We should be getting answers soon to a strange story.
