Then he a sack on Herremans who had a horrible year and won't be the starting left tackle this year, and an out of shape overweight Jammal Jackson who admitted he has to watch his weight this season. If you took away the the 4 sacks and left the 2 he still would be tied for 19th in sacks. I'll love my Eagles by Strahan is the man Osi is going to get better this year he might even become a great DE but I'll tell you this he better hope Strahan doesn't retire.

By the way Osi had 4 sacks versus Justice. He had 1 against Herremans and 1 against Jackson. He also played the beginning of the season with a hip injury that he suffered week one. He is a great DE.

Osi shouldn't have fired his last Agent he should be thanking him. Osi is a good Defensive End but far from a great one, he is a great compliment Defensive End, when you have Strahan on the other side. He had an ok year last season and shouldn't have even made the Pro Bowl thank I'm lying check the stats. Yes he was 5th on the NFL sack list but if his new best friend Winston Justice didn't give up 6 sacks he would only have 7 sacks on the year and would be tied for 31st on the sack list would would only be a sub-par year he is no Jared Allen, Patrick Kerney or even close, matter of fact he should have took Winston Justice and his family to hawii with him.

Most of the speculation came from Mike Florio. Mike has proven to be quite wrong about the Giants. Here are some examples: Justin Tuck's contract extension prior to the NFC Championship game would be a distraction. Jerry Reese now looks like a genius because of the ridiculous contract given to Tommy Kelly. The Plaxico Burress 21-17 prediction in the Superbowl would rile up the Pats and they would win 42-10. “Despite speculation that dissatisfaction with a contract extension he signed in late 2005 would prompt him to hold out in 2008, Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora says that he’ll report for all mandatory activities this season.” Most of the speculation came from Mike Florio.

The Vikes paid big dollars for a stud DE that led the league in sacks and missed the first two games due to suspension. I hope that Osi doesn’t think he is as good at Allen DE from KC Chiefs.
