NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Curry Burns

I recently wrote about how signing Derrick Ward instead of a safety meant that the Giants really like Ward's potential. Maybe Curry Burns is ready to play, which lessens the need for a safety. Mike Garafolo writes that Burns is rotating with Jack Brewer and Terry Cousin in dime packages.

Burns might be ready to replace Jack Brewer or Terry Cousin in certain dime packages. (Cousin is a CB but "has been playing deep in obvious passing situations".) Remember though that one of his negatives on the scouting report is his inability to cover, so I expect we'll continue to see Terry Cousin (unless the scouting report is just plain wrong; I've never seen Burns play so I don't know).
