Osi Umenyiora missed the first three games of the year while recovering from knee surgery, and Justin Tuck
has missed two games with a neck injury. Yet the Giants' defense has
still managed 12 sacks so far and ranks fifth in the league in that
category. The Giants are on pace to surpass last year's team sack total
of 46, and the main reason appears to be the emergence and consistency
of second-year defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul,
the team's first-round pick in the 2010 draft. If the Giants can ever
get Tuck, Umenyiora and Pierre-Paul on the field at the same time, they
could be downright terrifying.
