Giants will use Dockery for Ross at CB

December 1, 2007

Kevin Dockery will make his second start at cornerback for the Giants Sunday in place of rookie Aaron Ross.

That may seem like a big drop-off, given that Dockery is a below-the-radar guy in the secondary. But Dockery, a second-year undrafted free agent, has been playing plenty this season. And he’s been playing plenty in a starter’s role, because when he enters games as the nickel corner, he plays on the side instead of the slot, where the nickel usually slides in.

Ross has been the one to move inside. So Dockery, who was an emergency starter against the Jets when Ross was benched for the first half for disciplinary reasons, has had plenty of experience out on the wing.

“There’s really not a lot of adjustments to be made,” Dockery said after the Giants’ final practice of the week before facing the Bears in Chicago. “I’m not going to play out of position or anything.”
