Tom Coughlin noncommittal on plans at safety
Kenny Phillips - DB - New York Giants
Nov. 24, 2012 - 9:45 AM ET

Giants FS Kenny Phillips (knee) appears to be on track to play in Week 12, but coach Tom Coughlin has been noncommittal on how he plans to use his safeties.

Stevie Brown has played well with Phillips sidelined for the last six games, so there's been speculation that the Giants could deploy a big nickel with three safeties on the field. "Well, there's a possibility of [using three safeties] always, but until we know exactly how this is going to come about, you've got to protect yourself," said Coughlin. IDP owners who've relied on Brown need proceed with caution until we get more clarity on the Giants secondary.
