New York Giants’ Defensive Line Has Let Them Down

New York Giants football. Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck; the backbone of Giants history has been their ability to stop the opposition with a tough-as-nails defense, especially up front. But the defensive line the Giants have in place continues to resemble no such threat and has been an utter no-show.

Jason Pierre-Paul. Olivier Vernon. Damon Harrison. Two quick and powerful outside rushers with a run stopper in the middle. Those three were supposed to make for a great and dominant line.
