If Michael Strahan isn't in the Giants' plans ...
... then the next best thing is to move Mathias Kiwanuka from strongside outside linebacker to right defensive end to replaced the injured Osi Umenyiora.
That's what I wrote in"> today's newspaper, and it looks like that's what the Giants will do.
Stay tuned.
While a Strahan return would certainly give the Giants more depth along the defensive line, it's still not the sure-fire solution. First, Strahan isn't in football shape. Second, he told me last week he is completely comfortable with his decision to retire, and even relayed what Lawrence Taylor told him once: that when you don't want to hit anyone, it is time to leave the game.
Strahan told me he no longer wanted to hit anyone.
As for Kiwi, the guy was drafted as a defensive end, he showed plenty of promise there are a rookie, and the Giants have alternatives to replace him at outside linebacker.

Give Strahan some time.
Giants don't need him yet.
Let him watch some football and see if he wants to hit people then.
He can get in football shape in a month or 2.
A late season return has him ready for playoffs.
yup. something tells me that strahan would love nothing better to come back as the "returning hero" who has come to save the day for the giants. this isn't over yet.
