New York Giants safeties coach Dave Merritt said he believes FS Antrel Rolle is getting better because he is starting to understand the position. ‘Antrel is just now starting to understand and develop as a safety,’ Giants safeties coach Dave Merritt said Thursday. ‘He was a corner, as we all know, when he was drafted out of Miami. Now all of a sudden he’s a safety, and he’s starting to understand the position more so than ever. Before, as far as formations, he didn’t see formations. He didn’t really see the route concepts. Now, the last two years, it’s all coming together for him and he’s feeling more comfortable. So with Antrel’s ability to continue to learn and grow, he hasn’t really scratched his ability as a safety yet. Last year was a glimpse of what Antrel could actually become.’
