In order to improve their defensive line after going 6-5 for this season, the New York Giants decided to have some different players at starting lineup. They demoted defensive end Osi Umenyiora and defensive tackle Fred Robbins to the second string.
Mathias Kiwanuka and Chris Canty took their job respectively and will likely start at defensive end and tackle this Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. That would be the first time since 2004 that former Pro Bowl pick Umenyiora didn't start when healthy and the first time since 2007 that Robbins was a reserve in Giants jersey.
It anyway sounds like the Giants are making their last bet to get a bit closer to the team winning the Super Bowl two years ago. They started the change from defensive line because the defense has been criticized throughout the season for not playing like the dominant unit that helped the team win two years ago.
