Why would they need him? If I remember correctly, when Daniels and Buzbee went down and we traded for Taylor there were a few (at least one person for sure) people here who talked about how come we didn't plan for things as well as the Giants had by stockpiling defensive line talent over the past several years. It seems to me that the Giants should have no worries about plugging in a backup to start, and then just picking someone up off the street to replace the backup.

This is just another passive aggressive attempt to cover your man-crush on Jason Taylor and other elderly Skins linemen who haven't gotten the job done. <sigh> Will you never learn. Skins Front Office = Bad. Every other Front Office (except Cincinatti) = Good.

Seriously though, Smoot's right. Osi's injury just goes to show that teams simply can't plan for every contingency and get starter depth at every position. It's a trade off. I am betting our RB and CB depth are the envy of more than a few teams. This sucks for the Giants. They may have the depth to cover but losing Osi and Strahan is simply something you can't plan for.

Sorta like us losing our starting right tackle and starting guard <cough, cough>.
