Film Study: Giants secondary, part 2 — the backups

As the New York Giants look ahead to both the regular season and their upcoming pre-season game against the Chicago Bears, they won’t just be depending on their starters in the defensive secondary. The Giants want to use sub packages and be aggressive with their blitz schemes when the games matter in September (and onward). For that to work, they will need strong play from players down their depth chart.

Rookie DB Julian Love will play both slot corner and free safety, depending on the package and play called, while safeties Michael Thomas, Sean Chandler could see plenty of reps in nickel and dime packages.
