Any true New York Giants fans can sit back and reminisce about the days of Chris Snee being selected to numerous Pro Bowls, which seemed to become an afterthought. Or center Shaun O’Hara calling out line adjustments and picking up blitzing linebackers.
David Diehl had seemingly endless versatility. While Kareem McKenzie constantly caved in defenses on the right side of the line. You knew it was summer and training camp had started when you read reports of Rich Seubert starting (and likely finishing) a fight with a defensive lineman.
These players represented a Golden Age of hard-nose, smash-mouth football.
