Kiwi moving to DE to replace Osi
Are the Giants in OK shape?
With Kiwanuka and Tuck as our defensive ends, we’re still in OK shape at the position. But I can’t help but worry that what worked to win the Super Bowl last season isn’t here for 2008.
In addition to losing Strahan and Umenyiora, we also lost 3 other defensive starters: Mitchell, Wilson, and Torbor. I know they weren’t the greatest players but they were good enough for the Super Bowl and we don’t know if their replacements will be.
Our linebackers may look something like: Wilkinson, Pierce, Clark. Kehl being the outside backup and Blackburn backing up MLB.
I guess on paper it doesn’t seem much worse than 2007. We certainly lost some Depth. Tuck used to be our 3rd DE. Now who’s the primary DE backup?

Strahan comes back the giants can go back to the 3 def ends on the line in passing situations and all will be fine.it is an insult to this team that the loss of Osi has people predicting now that they are an 8 and 8 team.if that isn;t motivation enough for this team to kick ass this year i don’t know what is.Tampa Here We come!
