Giants Webster: 'It's a Fresh Start For Me'

When Tim Lewis was finally fired by the Giants there was a collective sigh of relief around New York. Players and fans alike knew that the right choice had finally been made and that we could all move on from his horrible play calling. Most thrilled with the move was cornerback Corey Webster.

Webster was considered a very good press corner at LSU. In fact, it was one of the very reason the Giants drafted him in the first place. Unfortunately when Tim Lewis took over that was thrown out the window. Lewis tried to force Webster into being a Cover-2 corner, something he just couldn't do. Eventually it led to Lewis tearing Webster apart publicly and any remaining confidence Webster had being totally shot. Now, with Lewis out of the picture, Corey will get another chance.

"Hopefully, it'll be a fresh start for me," cornerback Corey Webster said Tuesday. "It's a chance to really show what I can do ... Sometimes [the past two years], I got mixed signals. I didn't really know what the coaching staff was asking for. It's never a good thing when a player and the coach aren't on the same page. We're all here to win."

I've been very critical of Webster to date, but in all fairness he had been used incorrectly. The Giants have shown their confidence in him and will give him another chance to prove his worth with new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
