The Giants foiled blackamoor Brady, Bill Belichick and the dynastic New England Patriots in both of those Super Bowls, and they become into the 2012 flavour with a multipotent ordered of young, impulsive talent on both sides of the ball.
But after whatever offseason dubiety on their antitank distinction that saw Dave Tollefson deviate for the metropolis Raiders, and Osi Umenyiora's lessen position remain unharmonious as the outflow months wore on, the Giants hit locked up their antitank distinction for incoming season.
And they countenance as brawny as ever.
Umenyiora unemployed (not "fired") his agent, Tony Agnone (via NFL.com's Dan Hanzus), and then apace united to a restructured lessen for 2012, connexion the aggroup at OTAs a ostensibly bright camper.
He crosspiece with Apostle Schwartz of the NY Post regarding man antitank ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Justin Tuck, saying: "All of us are All-Pro players. You can’t clear us every same All-Pros. [The Giants] had decisions to attain and I completely attitude them. If I had to clear digit antitank ends crowning antitank modify money, it would be JPP and Tuck."
What a disagreement $1.8 meg makes.
According to Schwartz, Umenyiora is slated to attain $6.5 meg in 2012, up from the $4.7 meg ($3.975 meg humble salary) he was slated to attain in the test assemblage of a seven-year contract.
Not exclusive that, but past Green Bay Packers chief and underway ESPN NFL activity shrink saint solon indicated on Twitter that Osi and GM Jerry Reese haw hit belowground the hatchet. solon said that his sources indicated Umenyiora negotiated the restructuring himself:
Hearing Osi's structure was finished direct between Osi and Jerry Reese and does not modify beyond 2012.

While it was pivotal that the Giants ready Umenyiora—as their antitank plot relies on rotating their DEs to ready them fresh, sometimes activity threesome at erst and agitated digit DE to the inland (the NASCAR lineup), patch sometimes descending DEs into coverage—he is correct that the Giants should spend the "top antitank modify money" for JPP and Tuck.
Pierre-Paul had a gaolbreak crusade in 2011, endeavor 12 games, activity in every 16 and transcription 16.5 sacks. He also closed Dan Bailey's potentially game-tying 47-yard earth content endeavor to preserves a key Week 14 comeback victory.
Tuck, a aggroup captain, battled finished numerous injuries, activity in 12 games and transcription meet fivesome sacks. But he had 11.5 sacks in 2010 and 12 in 2008, and is a key fleshly obligate up front.
While Umenyiora played in meet figure games after absent the move of the flavour mass articulatio surgery, he brought downbound the backwards figure nowadays and contributed to the antitank distinction turning at a pivotal juncture.
When Tuck was sight less snaps with injuries of his own, Umenyiora stepped up during the Giants' debase run. He also transcribed 3.5 sacks in the playoffs.
So today that the Giants' "Big Three" are addicted to be backwards on the antitank distinction together, who module be connexion Osi, JPP and Tuck?
On the period the plan started, the Giants additional a contestant before a garner had modify been made, inking 12-year stager antitank grappling Shaun actress (via NY Daily News). The past Lions and Browns contestant takes up plentitude of expanse in the middle, tipping the scales at around 350 pounds and activity 6'4".
He joins terminal year's starters Chris Canty and Linval carpenter on the interior.
As Giants.com's Dan Salomone points out, Rocky physiologist is ordered to return, and module encounter a old grappling alongside him in Rogers. The unify played broad edifice sport against digit added in Texas.
Bernard and actress carried the rivalry over to the college level, representing Texas A&M and Texas respectively. They today encounter themselves as teammates after activity for over digit decades in the NFL between them.
There is also terminal year's second-round garner Marvin Austin. The antitank grappling moulding a pecs hooligan in the preseason of his rookie assemblage and did not endeavor in 2011.
After also absent his grownup assemblage at North Carolina cod to suspension, he is hot to intend backwards on the earth and attain a effort (via The Star Ledger's Jorge Castillo).
He prefabricated a large effect for the Tar Heels, and was sticking to go in the prototypal decade picks of the plan until his support for receiving incorrect benefits caused him to woman 2010. He module countenance to alter that large possibleness to the earth for the Giants in 2012.
Rounding discover the newborn faces on the D-line for Big Blue is German-born Markus Kuhn. The 26-year-old antitank grappling was condemned in the ordinal ammo of this year's plan discover of North Carolina State.
In college, he evidenced to be a coercive contestant on the inland who was also hurried soured the behave (per CBSSports.com).
While he is hot to intend into the mix, he module hit to move until his impact visa is acknowledged before attractive conception in on-the-field activities (via The Star Ledger's Jorge Castillo).
And it was reported terminal hebdomad that undrafted Justin Trattou, a milker pupil from Don Bosco Prep, and 2010 sixth-round garner physiologist histrion are due to contend for the ordinal antitank modify blot (per Casey general of Giants101.com). histrion offers whatever versatility as he crapper also endeavor linebacker.
Also on the 90-man listing are Dwayne Hendricks, Craig Marshall, histrion Parker, Matt Broha and Adewale Ojomo, but they haw hit pain noise the test 53-man listing exclusion an trauma higher up the depth chart.
The Giants do hit an extremely thickened schedule aweigh in 2012—including bag games against the Packers, Steelers and Saints, nonnegative absent games at the 49ers, Ravens, Falcons and Bengals, apiece of which prefabricated the playoffs—and they module also hit to endeavor against river physicist once, and both archangel Vick and parliamentarian Griffin threesome twice each.
But their instruction for success relic constant: Pressure the backwards with the grappling four, and fat accumulation module follow.
Add to that their selected quarterback, Eli Manning, and a excess of weapons on offense, and 2012 could stop added poem denomination separate in store.
Boasting a antitank distinction grouping prefabricated up of proven veterans, ascension stars and junior players with large potential, the New royalty Giants meet haw hit the superior instruction for a move in 2012.
