I have a tough time believing that -- the only real dominating presence in our front 7 right now is Rak IMO whereas the blue men have Tuck, Osi, Kiwanuka, and Canty.

Well Tuck is definitely awesome, but Osi is injured and frankly not what he used to be due to age. Canty is a nice player but definitely not dominant, I'd equate him to Bowen. Kiwanuka is a nice OLB but he doesn't scare me.

The Giants still have a great pass rush but Canty is their most accomplished defensive tackle. The loss of Barry Cofield has left a gaping hole in the middle of their line. Further, Osi, Tuck, and Pierre-Paul are pass rushing monsters but don't scare anyone from a run-stuffing standpoint.

The Giants can still rush the passer with the best of them but this year they are very vulnerable to being run on.

By the way, Kinwanuka is returning from IR with a herniated disc injury and we know Osi hasn't been up to par due to knee injuries. Tuck and Canty are beasts.
