The overpowering stench of desperation is apparently fuming from the New York Giants' defensive secondary this weekend.It's gotten to the point, according to reports, that the Giants have signed safety Brandon Meriweather to fill the void. He played in 99 games with the Patriots, who drafted him in the first round in 2007. After two Pro Bowl selections, he did a 10-game tour of duty with the Redskins last season.
A disastrous meeting with the Bengals in Cincinnati this week saw two of the Giants' valuable, young safeties escorted off the field prematurely. Mykkele Thompson was placed on injured reserve after doctors found a torn Achilles tendon and fellow rookie Landon Collins, the club's No. 20 overall pick in April, is day-to-day with injuries, as well.
The Giants will get a testy subject in Meriweather, who has twice served NFL suspensions for helmet-to-helmet collisions and hits against defenseless players. He sat two games in 2014 owing to his reputation in that department.
A 31-year-old product of Miami (FL), Meriweather has 424 career tackles and 15 interceptions over eight professional seasons.
