Okay, so Michael Strahan says no. Thank God. This whole Brett Favre thing has been so painful, I couldn't deal with another, "I'm old, but great, but old" story.
Football-wise, not having Michael Strahan easily helps the New York Giants. Kiwanuka at DE is where he should be. He is not a linebacker and never will be, at least not in a 4-3. (3-4 is a different story). The Giants again will be in a rebuilding year, as they are every year, for the first 6 games. They constantly have problems, injuries, no-body fill ins that seem to make the team ready to tank. I don't care if that is a bad sentence. I am 4 Yuenglings in. So anyway, with all this crap, they still manage to shuffle together a formidable team by the end of the year.
Is it the veterans? Is it the Coaching? I am not sure, but it is safe to say that they always have "names" hanging around on the roster.
Dr. Z, Paul Zimmerman, reported last year prior to the Super Bowl that although Osi Umenyiora was athletically gifted, he would, at times, disappear from entire games. I must agree with this statement, or idea, since I did not provide a statement.
Where am I going with this?
Mathias Kiwanuka will emerge as a better all around DE than Osi U. He is more complete in his physical control of his body. Better run stuffing and contain from the end slot. I also suspect that he is going to have a stronger inside rush move. We will see.
