Don't count out 'D' too soon

There is no question the Giants defense would be a lot better off with Michael Strahan back in uniform, not popping out of a giant replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy as he did before last night's ...

We lost John Fox right after the loss in SB35 and the defense never recovered. God Tim Lewis read and react scheme was more like stand and regurgitate. Spags is very important. KEEP HIM at all cost!!!!!

when Coughlin calls it quits I hope Spags takes over. Maybe after the season this can be arranged as Coughlin already stated this contract and thats it.

Also the polls about the offense, defense, special teams and coaches. It should break out special teams like coverage because the kick off coverage was a D, kick return was blah, but the punting and field goal were A's. Also the play calling on O was a C. They were great in the 1st quarter and stunk afterwards, while D calling was an A. Just a thought.

But what too many people fail to realize - especially those who write off the Giants as possible repeat champions - is that the bookend defensive ends left behind might be just as good as Strahan and Umenyiora.

this is a slap in the face to Strahan, the guy was one of the absolute best DE I've ever seen and to say that Kiwi and/or Tuck is just as good is an insult. I like both Tuck and Kiwanuka but get real...compare them to Osi, fine I'll give you that, but Strahan...no way. The guy is a legend and one of the best DE EVER!
