Signing Walter Thurmond, one of football's top slot corners, appeared to be on of the Giants savvier moves this past offseason. However; now Thurmond is out for the year withy a torn pec and will have to have surgery. This is a reasonably tragic development for anyone believing the offense will turn the corner and the D will figure it out enough to allow the offense to win. As a result the Giants may activate one of the kid kid corners from the practice squad, or may hire someone off the street.
Btw, I do think the Giant O will turn the corner, perhaps as soon as game 3.

It's a shame, I really liked him, and hope we keep him come March.
It's a shame. We had a chance to be elite at the position, now we just have 2 good ones.
This sucks hard, but Hosley may get a reprieve. He looked damn good as a rookie, but after that...
Specials worry more any other position grouping. It's like a disease with them.
Quinn is the problem with specials.
Right, but he isn't leaving unless Coughlin is forced to remove him, like Gilbride and so many coordinators during his tenure, or they move on from Coughlin.
And they sucked during Fassel's time here too.
I know it's a broken record, but it maybe time to remove Coughlin. I know it's only 2 games, but the same mistakes continue every year. I agree with Phil it's amazing how Quinn is still employed by this team.
Well, maybe, time will tell, although all coaches have a shelf-life, but the talent on this team may not be that good because they have drafted poorly (and inexplicably neglected the OL for years even as a decline was foreseeable), and they had some bad luck, like Wilson's neck, JPP's back, whatever caused Tuck to decline so quickly, and the Nicks thing.
I still can't get my mind around it because the offense rose and fell based on his near-dominance, and somehow the relationship fell apart when he got hurt. Cruz isn't in that class (not even close). We'll see if Beckham can be (in a different way).
Anyway, we are where we are, so let's see if Moore, Hankins, and JPP can be the kind of DL that can change games, and if the OL can good enough to give Eli a chance to be himself.
And as mentioned above, the ST have to stop killing them. They don't have enough to overcome mistakes right now.
It's been more of weird health luck than a lack of talent or the bad drafting some think has taken place.
To some degree, but:
They have neglected the OL and they suck at drafting LB.
And it is time that Randle and Jernigan step up.
