NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

I won’t argue with much of this list of overpaid NFC East guys despite there being too many Giants for my liking. But I will argue with David Diehl being on there – how can a guy who plays 4 positions on the offensive line well enough to be a quality starter – including the all important left tackle spot – be overpaid?

Injuries? Man, lots of players get hurt now and again – doesn’t make their contract a bad one. Diehl has been a friggin bargain.

First, I’m not sure where he’ll be playing but this article says he’s fighting for a starting job. I don’t see him winning the left tackle spot over Diehl and I don’t see him beating out McKenzie on the right so I’m not so sure about that. But it will be interesting to see what happens to him and his play tonight will certainly give us a clue.

The Giants lost their second game in a row. This one wasn’t quite as painful as the Philly game because our defense didn’t get pushed around too badly. I’m not saying that the defense played great or anything, but they weren’t painful to watch (other than a few missed tackles).

The offense, however, got spanked. Manning was sacked 8 times which shouldn’t really happen in an NFL game because professionals aren’t supposed to get beaten so often… I hope Seubert and McKenzie are both OK and I don’t mean to add insult to injury, but they did both get their butts whooped before getting hurt. Diehl played the worst I’ve ever seen him play so overall I’d say the offensive line had a pretty bad day…

The Steelers have the league’s best defense but our offensive line played their front 7 very well, well enough for us to win the game. This article talks about some particular plays and stats as it praises the Giants’ offensive line, one of the top 5 lines in the league for sure. Are they the best in the league?
