So who is your starting defense right now (as of 3/22/18)?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 3/22/2018 11:46 am
If Giants are going 3-4, my guess is right now line is Tomlinson-Harrison-Mauro with Vernon and Kareem Martin the outside linebackers. Ogletree and Goodson inside linebackers.

We desperately need a back-up nose tackle.

Back-up DEs are easier to figure out. Robert Thomas and Kerry Wynn will compete there.

Wonder what is going on with Jay Bromley?
BJ Hill

out NC State could be a nose.
Kareem Martin can be that other end

Robert Thomas could be that guy....but I'm sure they'll draft a big d-lineman

Regarding Bromley....there's another real beauty of a draft pick......3rd rounder.
Avery Moss will be an OLB  
Rjanyg : 3/22/2018 12:05 pm : link
He played in a 2 point stance in college so he has experience there. Okwara may have a hard time sticking, I don't think he projects as an OLB.
Defense as of today  
Mr. Nickels : 3/22/2018 12:08 pm : link
Jenkins Thompson Collins Apple


Martin Ogleetree Goodson Vernon

Tomlinson Harrison Mauro
That’s potentially a good front 7  
Vanzetti : 3/22/2018 12:10 pm : link
Key to me is whether OV can make the transition

He was really victimized by outside runs. Kept getting caught inside. So maybe this will help free him up. I would expect him to rush the passer much of the time as a LB

On BBI? I've been debating when I should do this. I don't want to switch it up and then find I have to switch it back (it's a bit of a pain in the ass). But I may do it soon.
I think you have some bodies right now on the line  
Dinger : 3/22/2018 12:25 pm : link
and at LB. I think the secondary is set but i would not be surprised if they ship 'attitude' out, meaning you may see either Apple or Jenkins traded. I'm not saying that they aren't talented, but one thing from this past year was certain players were very apparently quitting on the team and those were the two MOST visible quitters. You cannot replace them easily. But I think they WILL try to change one of them. I don't know the specifics of their discontent last year but I think Mara and DG are not keen on appearing like they will put up with malcontents (my personal opinion is that JPP Hart Flowers Richburg DRC as well as Jenkins and Apple and possibly Wing were part of a bad locker room atmosphere).

Toth029 : 3/22/2018 12:33 pm : link
Moss and Okwara hopefully can improve and provide an edge at OLB.

Eric, seems pretty obvious they are moving to a majority 3-4. You can probably make the switch now.

It's hard to have a good locker room attitude when you're losing every game, but these guys are professionals. I think they give both another chance this year.

I'm sure you have had this asked before and there is probably a good reason for it, but i wish you would remove the unsigned FA's for the depth chart. They really are no longer part of the team and it would be easier to get a sense of where the holes remain on the team.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 3/22/2018 1:13 pm : link
I don't think Robert Thomas has an ideal frame for NT. He could probably serve there in a pinch.

Eric from BBI : Admin : 3/22/2018 1:14 pm : link
I do at some point when it is clear they won't re-sign any more of them. It's a pain in the ass to remove them and then add them back.

I think he's better suited to 5-technique. He could probably play it if need be, but you don't want your starting end to also be your back-up NT.
bet one or two rookies start  
bc4life : 3/22/2018 4:06 pm : link
this year. And FA not over yet. Might pick up some one year deal players.

Excited to see Snacks as a space eating NT  
TommytheElephant : 3/22/2018 4:23 pm : link
Olgetree and (I guess) Goodson should seriously benefit from this .

But there is really no depth.
Jeez
Short term, Thomas will probably be the backup NT. If Snacks misses  
Ivan15 : 3/22/2018 5:22 pm : link
some games, Tomlinson will probably split snaps with Thomas. Yes, another backup DE may be needed. That could be Bromley who was kind of a tweeter in the 4-3.
I would say the front looks like....  
Tuckrule : 3/23/2018 7:30 am : link
Tomlinson. Snacks. Mauro

Martin. Tree. Goodson Vernon.
