his attitude and work ethic. He seems to have the respect of the coaches, and even on a crowded DL, might have more of a chance than most think.

to have good supply of younger players with a very good work ethic. Kennard, Moore, Donnell and many others seem very dedicated to move up in skill.

I wouldn't be surprised if Beatty's injury was the result of him trying maybe a little too hard to get stronger and firm up his chances of sticking at LOT.

We will soon find out if all the hard work pays off. It would be fun to be able to actually beat the Cowboys and Eagles 2x this year.

Even last year when Kuhn played a career-high 254 snaps, he finished with a -15.9 grade from Pro Football Focus. Only three defensive tackles graded out worse.

Kuhn and the Giants didn't quite see it that way.
The Kuhn has no reason for worry

The Giants staff love him.

Why?

Only God knows... or... he has the same incriminating pics as Quinn.

He was a raw 26 yr old rookie; got hurt year #2; and played ok last year on a poor defense.

I am intrigued by his background and his desire BUT the odds are against him unless Jenkins is done.

Which one ... Kuhn or Bromley? Both?
Can't knock the guy for effort at least.

Going from 305 to 320 with no increase in body fat is pretty impressive (hopefully not from abusing steroids).

But some guys have it and some guys don't. Odds have been against him from day 1 and continue to be. I don't think he'll be around when they get down to the final 53 but hopefully for him he can continue on some place else.

If Kuhn is the "54th" guy and the final cut, chances are he will NOT be around for us later in the year. I'd think at 320 someone would pick him up. However, with Jenkins at age 34 and coming off a calf injury, I'd think he'd be available week 2 and beyond should injuries or lack of production hit.

Point is, lets hope everyone plays lights out and we keep the best 10 DL's. And I do believe we keep 10 DL's if OWA, MOORE, AYERS, BROMLEY can all play special teams.
