Says the starting linebackers will be:

Kareem Martin - Goodson - Ogletree - Lorenzo Carter

with Olivier Vernon a situational pass rusher.

He did say that and it does sound ridiculous. But I think it's possible that Carter wins Martin's spot - either at the beginning of the season or during it. The only way Vernon doesn't start if if he's hurt.
I can’t figure out how these beat writers get their information.  
Ivan15 : 7/5/2018 10:21 am : link
Don’t they hear the same interviews and press conferences that we do? Don’t they read what their competition writes?

Obviously, all this blogging and online postings have forced the retirement of any competent sports editors and proof readers.

Maybe Carter gets some OLB time in a 4-3 alignment, replacing Goodson, with Vernon at end. And maybe Carter will be the starting OLB in the base defense in the second half, replacing Martin.

No way will Vernon be the “situational pass rusher”.
Yeah that’s how I took it..  
ZGiants98 : 7/5/2018 3:47 pm : link
I could see Goodson coming out for Carter.
They wouldn’t be saying that crap about Vernon  
djm : 7/5/2018 6:10 pm : link
If he was making half of what his salary pays. Pay it no mind he’s a good player that will have a chance to put up great numbers this season.
Very good article on the cba and guaranteed contacts...

In depth look at several scenarios using Olivier Vernon as the case study. Nice to see that the Giants played the contract smartly.
