“I think I’m great. I think I’m the best thing out there. I don’t think I’m second to nobody.” Webster was quick to add that fellow cornerback Aaron Ross and the rest of the Giants’ secondary “feel the same way,” so perhaps his self-appraisal wasn’t as boastful as it first appeared. Still, Webster has every reason to be proud of what has been an excellent 2011 campaign — with bookend corner Terrell Thomas missing the entire season after suffering a torn ACL in training camp. Webster’s year included a career-best six interceptions and, most recently, a Revis-like shutdown of San Francisco receiver Michael Crabtree, who caught just one pass for three yards in the NFC Championship Game. “I think if you keep doing your job, if you keep doing what the coaches ask of you, the attention will finally come,” Webster said. The next, and final, obstacle for Webster and the Giants’ secondary will be in Super Bowl XLVI against Brady’s potent aerial attack. The Patriots’ passing game presents unique matchup problems because of its reliance on tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and undersized receivers Wes Welker and Deion Branch. In their 24-20 win at New England on Nov. 6, the Giants used Ross more often on Welker, who led the NFL with 122 receptions, with Webster mostly shadowing Branch. “I don’t know if it’s that Welker is the challenge, or he has a great person throwing him the ball,” said Webster, who mostly covered Randy Moss in Super Bowl XLII. “Kind of throwing off the timing between the quarterback and the receivers, I think, will help us a lot.”
