Giants' Justin Tuck Vows To Return To All Pro Level In 2012

[Rudyy]

Only the coaching staff would really know and common sense would dictate that someone of Tracy's size is just not a good fit for a large amount of snaps on the DL. Ojomo might just be too raw or perhaps he isn't doing the right things at practice to gain play time?Anyway, this is one of those few times I will use blind faith. Something just tells me Tuck will bounce back for one more good season.

Perhaps. But still, I just can't see him being the player he once was.

The fact is we don't have a long term answer at the DE position to pair with JPP and that needs to be addressed this offseason. It's time to get someone like Alex Okafor, Tank Carradine, or Datone Jones in the draft.

question is are any of them going to be starters.Do they sit on the practice team for a year.

Probably situational snaps like rushing the passer on 3rd downs and giving Tuck and JPP occasional breathers but we all know the Giants aren't going to gamble on someone else as the starter unless said player does something amazing in the preseason/training camp on a consistent basis.

He just does not seem like he has the fire to get back to that level.
In fact his moods seem to range from nonchalant to down right mopey.....

yea exactly!

he didnt appear hungry for another ring and seems satisfied with the two he has!

If we use a high pick on a pass rusher, he will not be on the practice squad and will definitely be used in the rotation.

Even when they do something amazing, they'll probably just be inactive all season even if they make the roster...

okay just like we used Ojomo oops wait no they used Tuck instead. Now I know you know nothing about how TC runs a team

Ojomo was a high pick? Sorry, I didn't know that. I thought he was some undrafted FA who made the roster by the skin of his teeth. Thanks for the education!
