The New York Giants are in the midst of a downturn when it comes to success and the fans have little tolerance for players who are not up to snuff or doing their jobs. That would include prized rookies such as first round selection DeAndre Baker, a shutdown cornerback out of Georgia who the Giants traded three picks for the right to draft.
So far, he’s been unimpressive. Not only is he not the shutdown corner the Giants’ thought he was, his football acumen appears to be fairly low. This week, after getting schooled by the Dallas Cowboys’ receivers, Baker admitted that he did not really have a working grasp of the Giants’ defensive scheme.
