All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

CB is a need for this team, Leodis stink, McGee is old/broken, and frankly Florence isn't that good.
Which leaves us with Justin Rogers and A.Williams. Thomas was the Giants best CB by far, when healthy. An incentive laden deal may be worth a look, we need a true #1 CB and I'm not sure he's on the roster.
Williams and McGee are a good starting duo. McKelvin (as JC stated) finally showed he can do something... If we can get Merriman and Kelsay off the edge (yes, I said Kelsay) to get some pressure and having Williams and Dareus up the middle... That's pretty formidable.
4 down men, a simple blitz off the side or up the middle from Barnett, the QB is going to pretty much either throw it straight to a slant or with hands in his face toss the ball up for anybody. I think that McKelvin has the cognizance and the general ball awareness to find a jump ball and make something out of it...
Now... Florence? He was just plain pitiful in coverage last year. I would prefer a pecking order of Williams, McGee, McKelvin, Rogers, then Florence in situational issues would be OK... but we need to either draft another or pick one up in FA.
Here's the thing with McKelvin, I actually think he can run with most WRs, but he falls apart when the ball is actually in the air.
Doesn't have the ball skills, seems like he loses track of it, also loses coordination.
A pass rusher would help everyone back there. I'm just not sure McKelvin has what it take to be a consistent starter, hasn't shown it yet.
McKelvin can stay with most WRs I've seen him have to cover. He's a fluid athlete with top notch speed, we know that.
The ball skills are still a weak point, but I can't blame the guy when the QB had 8 seconds to read and make the throw every time. It is extremely hard to cover for that long.
Ball skills can be learned, as well as reading the WR to know when to switch to playing the ball. I think at worst he's a solid nickel corner. Not what you'd want from a 1st rounder, but if they go Kirkpatrick you could be looking at 1st 2nd and 1st rounders making up the nickel package.

Honestly at this point Reggie Corner is better than Florence.
Is Thomas actually healthy? He might not be capable of passing a physical atm - I just don't know tbh.
I do recall that the Giants want him back, but I don't know if they, or anyone else, will be making any deals with him until he's fit.

From what I've heard, he wants a better deal than what the Giants are offering. Some concern about his leg, but they just won a SB with Webster and no one else.
I don't think they're priority is CB, they need to lock up JPP and possibly land a LB. They're pass rush is so good, makes everyone better. Unfortunately we don't have that luxury.
