Flott to start

get the ball rolling. Time to shine young man.

Hope this floats?

of him at LSU. He looked like a starting CB minus the weight issue. He’s over 6 ft, he’s just thin. Beat way to develop guys is to play. They screw up, they screw up. They will learn. Ditto with Ezeudu.. Having him split time with Brederson can only help the team in the long run

steals in the draft, I hope it comes true! Would love to see him have a big game.

Jack Stroud, I'm old enough to have a smile on my face when I see your handle!

Time to step into the spotlight!

.

Be easier/safer to play the veteran. They're gonna play the young guy who's gonna boom or bust.

Figure all of them are gonna play.

He has the skills, his tackling needs some help as does his weight but that will come in time. Excited to see the kid play

assume they will give him a lot of safety help. The Panthers will certainly attack him.

or in the slot, with Holmes moving outside?

I have the same question.

That's not what Jerome Henderson suggested.

and then to the waiver wire

Holmes' holding penalties almost cost the Giants the game last week. I'm not even sure the receivers he held were being targeted.

Because he looked awful against the Jets during the Preseason.

Agreed - it’s his tackling skills that concern me.

+1 This year all about development. Let 'em play.

as to now just how ready they are, but also how the Defensive Coaches are putting together game plans for their guys and weak areas. With CMC on the other side the Safeties can’t just help out the CBs all game.

Let’s see who holds up...

...I hope the stage isn't too big for him.

Between the coaches and his work ethic, I'm hoping they figure it out. He's an easy guy to root for.

I mean Flop

iirc some of of those clearly Vrabel bribed the refs. I do believe it was Holmes that clotheslined a receiver on one penalty though.

Flott on the outside scares me….I’d rather him replace Holmes. I hope all these CBs we picked up are worthy so Flott can move inside.

Wait, wait….wasn’t Holmes the preseason star of the team? How many interceptions did he get ? 3 or 4…..

Flott to start sometimes rhymes. I hope he does well.

he’ll be fine

it's sink or swim time

Surprised layne is not getting the start thought he would be.

He has the speed and quickness to cover Robby Anderson

If so, look to see McCaffrey to run WILD in his direction.
Flott is a STIFF! He can't tackle. Maybe it is a balance issue and he can improve, but what we saw in preseason was terrifying. He is not ready to play. He can't play at this level yet. We are in BIG trouble if we are counting on Flott to tackle anyone next week.

I wonder if Flott will bring his red matador cape along with him Sunday?

You really need to tackle to play inside.

Actually, you need to be able to tackle every where

Flott is longer with room to grow. Let him play. I don’t care about his tackling ability right now. This isn’t 1992 we don’t need corners who can lay the wood. Run and cover and let other guys worry about run support. My fear is Calitro Vs cmc. We need to see a lot of McFadden today.

with Derrick Henry.

To all who are terrified that Flott is too slim to be an effective tackler, I’d like to remind you of Carl “Spider” Lockhart, who was drafted in 1965 in the 13th round from N. Texas State. He was 6’2” and weighed 175 lbs. (soaking wet). He too was considered too slim but became an all pro free safety. He had 41 career interceptions and was a sure tackler. He led a pack of young defensive backs that we’re coined “Emlem’s Gremlins” by DB coach Emlem Tunnell. Those of you that are old enough to remember #43 realize that it’s not necessarily size but heart that matters!

I've liked Holmes forever for the same reasons. Love the fact that he earned his degree from UCLA in 6 semesters. I just wish he would play defense only with his feet until he's going for the ball. Seems simple for me, watching from my couch...

Probably why they went heavier for game 1

as good a matchup you want for him.
