Giants Defensive Line
The Giants have cut Keith Washington and Norman Hand. This leaves the Giants a bit thin on defensive line depth. Let's say the starters are Osi - Robbins - Joseph - Strahan. It's time for Joseph to step up but it's not clear if he'll be as big a load int he trenches as Norman Hand was. Newly signed Kendrick Clancy is touted as a run stopper like Hand was, but I'm still not as confident in our defensive line as I was last year after signing Hand and Robbins.
Posted by James Trotta at March 17, 2005 1:50 AMI think as long as we sign or draft a defensive end we have good depth on the D-line. At Defensive Tackle I'm pretty sure both Kenderick Allen and Damane Duckett, both who I thought played well when they had too, and with Clancy that gives us: Robbins, Joseph, Clancy, Allen, & Duckett
At Defensive end the only guys we've got behind Osi and Strahan are Raheem Orr and Claude Harriot. Orr was good on special teams or atleast I'd think he was becasue he got to be active for quite a few games towards the end of the year. Harriot was on our practice squad last year I think. I wouldnt want either of them starting or even stepping on the field when our defense is out there
