Return of Umenyiora gives Giants big boost

With the absence of Plaxico Burress often given as a reason why the Giants didn't return to the Super Bowl last season, it is easy to forget that the team was without another All-Pro: Osi Umenyiora.

I so agree, Best D-Line in the league right now :D

What does "another All-Pro" mean. Plaxico has never been to a pro bowl, yet be an all-pro.

The season has not started yet, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to see what this defense can do. Lets hope the new DC is up to the task of filling Spags' shoes.

Plax was actually selected in 2007 by the PFWA:

That's what he was referring to.

Great D and great receivers in the making. Giants have a great shot at getting to the NFC championship and beyond. Players need to develop, stay healthy and Eli needs to play better too!
