What is the consensus on Darnay Holmes?
I am impressed with him.
I remember from draft day it seemed like the biggest commentary was around his size. He's not going to be confused with Darrelle Revis, but as a 4th round pick he represents exactly the value you hope to get from that round.
I was trying to find a better CB the Giants have drafted and i couldn't find one that was clearly better all the way back to Webster in 2005. Even 1st round picks like Apple, Prince, and Baker.
May be worth a second contract?
Really? because of the defensive holding calls? I thought those were smart.
i think he was the one who blitzed/blasted baker on a play where he some how still completed a pass but on reply it looked like a miracle it wasn't a sack/fumble.

Wink really likes him, but you must have missed the lynch Holmes threads last week.
This. Every time the other team needs a completion in the fourth quarter they go at Holmes. The guy is either open or it's a penalty
That's what you want. Play better every Sunday.

They are not smart late in the game, when the other team is trying to drive for the winning score. He has done it in both games, not good. In the game last week, also allowed a pass down the sideline inside the numbers for about a
30 yard gain, that was a big play, then Bullock missed the field goal, I never liked him as a kicker by the way.
Holmes needs to be better late in games, seems to choke a bit to me.
Doesn't mean I'm rooting for him to fail.
Don't know if you have any insight, but it seems that the prior regime would send guys to purgatory if they did things the coaches didn't like, instead of try to teach them. Maybe that's why he still has bad habits.

Aren’t the defensive back coaches the same as last year?

Serviceable, but can certainly be upgraded in the offseason.

brain farts in coverage. I do think he has the ability to improve with better coaching we have now, hopefully he will.

Henderson has been the DBs coach since 2020. He probably meant what Martindale is asking of him.
I wasn’t as down on him after that, just impressed with the Phillips kid..he looks like a steal for the Titans, he impressed me the most of all their WRs and I know they are very high on him.
No gainsaying that, Jon, case in point with the same bad habit: Eli Apple, going on seven years and more of the same yesterday.
Serviceable, but can certainly be upgraded in the offseason.
