05 Giants D vs. 86 Giants D
In general I agree with players from 1986 who say they had the more intimidating defense. However (and I know it's hard to compare a 3-4 defensive line with a 4-3 line) I don't agree with Marshall who says:
"I think as good a player as Michael Strahan has been in the system on a four-man line, I don't think he or they could have ever matched up to what George Martin and I accomplished in a three-man line," Marshall says.He makes an unfair comparison since Strahan has different responsibilities in his 4-3 than Marsahll did in his 3-4. Sure Strahan wouldn't have been as effective as Marshall playing next to Jim Burt. But would Marshall have 9.5 sacks and attract so many double teams in this defense? I don't think so.
