For the Giants:
- S Will Demps: He's been solid, but nothing spectacular. Contrary to what most told me and other Giants fans about Demps, his tackling has been inconsistant at best, and his coverage has been above average. We couldve done a lto worse at safety.

- OLB LaVar Arrington: I think youve gotta hold judgement on this one. He was starting to come into his own the same game he went own with a season ending injury.

- OLB Brandon Short: Before getting hurt, Short was doing an EXCELLENT job at his position, sacks, tackles, stuffing the run, decent in coverage. And he's making the vet minimum. A++ Signing.

- CB Sam Madison: This is an iffy signing. I dont think anyone with the Giants or following the Giants expected to get the Sam Madison that was part of that great Miami defense and secondary where he was paired with Patrick Surtain in the early 2000's. He's had some moments where he's looked crappy but he's done well and still plays well enough to be a good #1 corner in this league. He's made some nice INT's this season, and that's more than I can say for anyone else this year or anyone we had last year in the secondary.

- CB R.W. McQuarters: This guy is another one like Short. Slated to be a backup, no one expected much, maybe some contributions on special teams, maybe some work in certain defensive packages. He's really held his own, like Madison he's created a few nice turnovers that we've lacked in years past, and overall he's been really solid in coverage and tackling. He's yet to do what we initially signed him for though and that's give the special teams a spark.

- DB Jason Bell - Didnt really expect him to make the team over Quentin Harris but he did. He's versitale and has filled in nicely whenever our depth has been tested in the secondary. He showed his true colors last week, hurting his arm and finishing the game, then leaving the stadium in a cast. He said he'd play next week right after the game.
None of our signings have been busts this year, they havent been overly productive or anything but

so, let me get this straight.... the Giants signed 6 FA's on defense and the skins signed 2... yet the skins are the team that is labled "the team that turned over it's entire roster on defense"
