3-4 DEs will rarely, if ever, EVER produce a pretty stat sheet because their job is to occupy and push the OL into a desired position. His job is to occupy and force the OL to address blocking him so that they DON'T block the LBs. If he (or the NT) decides to go for personal glory at the expense of his assignment, the entire D will risk giving up a big play.
The one thing a 3-4 CANNOT do is allow the opposing OL to move them. Hence, plugging in weak ass players like Golston into the 3-4 DE role often results in disaster.
You know I always liked Carriker, but watching him snap in and snap out and only seeing him get pushed back on one snap makes me love him even more. I don't think enough people appreciate how strong he is.

That isn't his game. I mean the guys 311 pounds. He's great at what he's suppose to do which is basically stonewall people at the line of scrimmage and help collapse the pocket. Keep in mind, just because he's a DE doesn't mean he's going to move like Dwight Freeny. In essence he's a DT that plays a little wide.

I think Adam is going to have a solid year ... I can't say enough how much I love the depth on this team ... Bruce Allen & Shanny is so refreshing ... Jenkins was a bad ass pick and I do think he will be solid but to say he has to beat out a mediocre guy by week 1? What are you smokin'...split time fresh legs, rocky Being able to swing around I like , always had a soft spot for Rocky... I can't wait for football

The depth at End really is nice. Eventually it became painful to me midway though the year to know we were almost always ask risk to be gutted opposite Carriker. Maybe not as bad when they started using Holiday but now with Bowen and Jenkins to rotate in, maybe even with Cofield getting some time at end, well safe to say I feel much better about playing the run off both tackles.
It's the Nose that worries me. I'm actually really anxious to see how Cofield chooses to handles the double teams and what types of fundamentals Haslet and company ask him to employ. The Giants had him doing way to much dancing around and spying for my taste. On the flip side when he tried to bull rush he usually got a push, and he really is pretty good with his hands. Also would be nice if Neild would emerge. From looking closely at Bryant in that same game I'm wondering if he's a 50-50 player. Half the time he's playing like the 2010 version of Kemo and the other half he's playing like a Casey Hampton clone.

So I'm told "Get ready to stay up late tonight. You guys are about to sign a LB" and I think it must be Lofa for sure.
But Rocky Mac. Wow! I know the team and Rocky Mac have a solid relationship but I thought for sure he'd be moving on.
If Henson stays in that PUP list he's definitely in jeopardy.
I hear though that Perry is still the starter
Well that's good. I think Riley will really step up this year since he's being given the opportunity.

You can't be paying attention.

Giants have succeeded in infuriating Osi after taking back his permission to seek a trade.
Osi Umenyiora shows at Giants practice but refuses to participate after convo with GM Jerry Reese (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2011/08/03/2011-08-03_osi_umenyiora_says_he_wont_practice_so_jerry_re ese_and_giants_send_him_home_to_c.html)
