NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

Not much I can say, really. Our defensive line depth looks to be OK for now with Umenyiora and Canty playing very well. It sucks for Kiwi personally (this being a contract year). Here’s the article.

Here’s the transcript. Here’s the video. I like the comments a lot. Talks about Sintim at SAM, Kiwi staying at end, that the giants defense wont change much, etc.

Dude!

Michael Boley, Rocky Bernard, and Chris Canty? Pretty awesome!

Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, Chris Canty, Fred Robbins, Barry Cofield, Rocky Bernard, and Matthia Kiwanuka is pretty awesome because all 7 of those guys are good enough to start somewhere in the NFL.

Canty is the only guy I haven’t blogged about yet. Good ESPN article here (how often does that happen?) on the signing. They say he’ll play DT for the Giants, probably replacing Robbins as a starter.

But I don’t see why he would replace Robbins, the Giants best DT. If anyone cares, Pter King made Haynesworth and Cofield his 2 all-pro defensive tackles this year. Wouldn’t we better off demoting Cofield?

I have to think Canty willl see some time at DE as well because we have 3 guys who play only DT (Robbins, Cofield, Bernard) and 4 full time DTs seems like one too many.

6 years and 42 million makes him the Giants most expensive acqusition yet. Clearly they expect big things from the guy.

Nice video here. Says the Giants have the best offensive line + the best defensive line. That means we’re gonna win some games!

First we have Cofield and Robbins both getting knee scopes. They should be fine for the season as long as nothing unexpected comes up.

We also have Coughlin confirming that Kiwanuka will remain at deensive end.

This article talks about Kiwanuka’s ankle – he may or may not be 100% for the Rams game. I still say the league should come down on Samuels for tackling a dude from behind and trapping his ankle.

I think most Giants fans agree that our defense can kick butt even without Strahan and Umenyiora. But when Chris Samuels took a dive at the back of Kiwanuka’s ankles I realized that if we lose another DE we are in trouble.

I guess we expect bush league crap from the Redskins, but it still sucks. And of course Samuels says it was not intentional. How do you accidentally tackle someone from behind? Anyway xrays indicate Kiwanuka should be OK.

The offensive line did warn us a while back that they liked playing dirty. And the old news article are gone, but let’s not forget Robert Royal intentionally taking out Barret Green’s bad knee.
