The New York Giants dealt with a significant issue at CB2 in 2020, with the rotation of Corey Ballentine, Ryan Lewis, and then Isaac Yiadom.
By the end of the campaign, Yiadom was the established starter, and considering he was a liability in coverage, it forced the Giants to play a predominant zone-coverage scheme to try and aid his side of the field. With James Bradberry opposite Isaac, the Giants were able to mask some of his deficiencies by providing safety help while Bradberry held his own against some of the league’s top receivers.
However, if the Giants are able to find an adequate CB2 for the 2021 season, it will allow coordinator Patrick Graham to utilize more efficient blitzing schematics.
