It is his to win and he's not shown enough to win it, Diehl looks lost at LG, the starting line will be (LT to RT); Diehl, Andrews, Ohara, Snee, McKenzie. <br /><br />keep Landolt, he looks tough and will become a professional lineman somedayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-32959319081559885342010-08-23T12:59:07.699-04:002010-08-23T12:59:07.699-04:00Osi is recovering from injury and looks to be stro...Osi is recovering from injury and looks to be stronger than last year. The interior of the D line looks very weak. The LB play is suspect, especially Sintim. <br /><br />For those who think pre-season is too long..look at the open issues the Giants need to resolve in the next few weeks. Kick return, punter, Left tackle (of all things), SLB, DT that's alot more than most teams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-35627640926283488102010-08-23T12:25:37.544-04:002010-08-23T12:25:37.544-04:00I think that this week will be more telling with t...I think that this week will be more telling with the Ravens' Ray Rice. I'd also like to see Joseph teamed with Canty on a few plays early on. Both of these guys can't be double teamed if they're out there together, so it would be nice to see what type of impact it would have to the opposing O-Line. While we're at it, I wouldn't mind seeing Wilkinson or Kehl at SLB. Might as well throw Adrian Tracy in the mix.<br /><br />Coughlin indicated that the best players will play, so let's truly see what these guys have to offer.Hajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-4377137721644777202010-08-23T12:13:35.701-04:002010-08-23T12:13:35.701-04:00Can't say that one play really changes much, b...Can't say that one play really changes much, but at least its a step in the right direction.

I will want to see him drop Stewart or Williams for a 7 yd loss in week 1, then I will be a little more convinced. If he can get at least one tackle for loss against Chris Johnson in week 3, I will be even more convinced. It is relieving a bit to see him drop Mendenhall on Saturday night and I am going to give Osi the benefit of the doubt. He has at least earned that. Right now though, I cannot take preseason that seriously.CE718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-28783540338893856202010-08-23T11:22:34.348-04:002010-08-23T11:22:34.348-04:00I think it was a singular play and this weakling w...I think it was a singular play and this weakling will revert to form very quickly. That being said, I agree there seems to be a boost to his stride that was not evident this year and I am far less pessimistic about his career than at anytime in the last 10 months.
