The post Damon Snacks Harrison Pro Bowl Snub first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

I clearly remember when I fell in love with the New York Football Giants. A 6-year old boy, living with his grandpa in West Sayville, New York.”These are the New York Giants, and this is who we root for in this house,” he told me as he stuck in a tape of the 1986 Super Bowl.

I was hooked. Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, and George Martin running around the area, imposing their will on the gridiron, allowing Phil Simms to complete 88% of his passes that day, taking that first iconic trip to Disney Land.

Two years later.

Leonard Marshall squared his helmet between the shoulder blades of two-time defending Super Bowl Champion Joe Montana, and LT ripped the ball aside from Roger Craig. Matt Bahr kicked his 5th field goal of the day, propelling the Giants to Super Bowl XXV.

O.J. Anderson and company would hold onto the ball for 40+ minutes, setting the stage for our second Super Bowl victory, with a little help from Scott Norwood, and the football gods.

The love for The New York Football Giants that my grandfather passed down to me centered around a larger-than-life defense, filled with playmakers who could impose their will on football’s biggest stages.

Fast forward to 2007. 

Before Michael Strahan was hosting game shows and palling around with Kelly Ripa, he was The Giants emotional leader in taking down Tom Brady and the previously perfect Patriots. Super Bowl XLII also served as the coming out party for Justin Tuck, who sacked Tom Terrific twice that day, setting the stage for Eli, David Tyree, and the helmet-catch heard ‘round the world.

Four years later? The Remix.

2015’s version of The Big Blue wrecking crew was an embarrassment, quite frankly. Not just in Giants history, but in the history of the league. Steve Spagnuolo’s unit was legendarily porous; surrendering 6.1 yards per play, and 6,027 yards by year’s end (that’s the most yards yielded by any team, ever).

A storied pass-rush that buoyed past championship runs garnered 23 sacks in 16 games, largely because their leader going into the 2015 campaign failed to hold opposing quarterbacks in his grasp as a result of choosing to grab fireworks with his bare hand the previous 4th of July.

After giving up 27 or more points in half the team’s games, and squandering a 49-point offensive output against the New Orleans Saints, the message for Jerry Reese and company was clear and distinct. The defense was devoid of talent. The storied defense that had led us to four Super Bowl talents was defunct, and drastic measures needed to be taken.

Coach Coughlin was jettisoned, and the defense was the beneficiary of $100+ MILLION injection of talent. The goal? Create a new defense in the image of the Patriot slaying squads detailed above. A defense with a clear objective. Destroy opposing quarterbacks. Olivier Vernon garnered $85 million following a 7.5 sack output in 2015. He had 2.5 sacks against the Ravens in December, 2 weeks after going toe-to-toe with his new division rival Tyrod Smith of the Cowboys, registering 1 sack, and making the All-Pro work all afternoon.

Damon “Snacks” Harrison traded a green uniform for a blue one when he made the move across MetLife Stadium to the tune of $46.5 million. Spending his career in a 3-4 defense, Snacks has a reputation as the league’s premiere run-stopper (with only 1.5 career sacks).

Jason Pierre-Paul

JPP pledges to play 2016 without “The Club” on his mutilated hand, which should allow him to finish more of the hurries he creates with drive-ending sacks. We’ll see….

The talent upgrade on the front-line is undeniable. The question on every Giants fan’s mind is can they produce in the clutch? Can they give Cousins, Romo, and company the nightmares that their counterparts from yesteryear built championship pedigrees upon? The potential is apparent.

Reese and Company have harkened back to 2007 with one other key defensive unit as well. The secondary. Welcome Janoris Jenkins and Leon Hall. Veteran ball hawks, who’s aggressiveness will compliment a dominant pass-rush most effectively. They remind me of Sam Madison and R.W. McQuarters, playmaking corners who came up largest during the playoff run of 2007. Throw in 3rd Round draft choice Darian Thompson, who broke Eric Weddle’s career interception record for the Big West Conference, and 1st Round selection Eli Apple, and the hope is the secondary will create more turnovers than we’ve seen in the recent past, ultimately taking a few to the house!

Giants fans should be encouraged that the front office has a game plan. They’re drawing upon the blueprint of past success to help Eli reclaim his rightful place, atop the Manning Family Super Bowl Championship list. Eli’s proven that he can maximize his receiver’s production (see Manningham, Mario; Smith, Steve; and Cruz, Victor). I can’t wait to see what he does with Sterling Shepard and Odell Beckham. Pair this offense with a respectable defense, and an NFC East title is within the realm of possibilities. And all Giants fans know what Eli does in the playoffs…

That six-year old boy who fell in love with the Giants? He’s 33 now. And he knows that the Gmen win with defense first. I’m intrigued by the prospect of the defense returning to a level that Taylor, Carson, Banks, Strahan, and Tuck can be proud of.

The post Gmen Win With Defense First first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Is this the return of the Big Blue Wrecking Crew? When the New York Giants won their last two Super Bowls, they had one of the best defensive lines in the league both times, which allowed them to put a lot of pressure on Tom Brady in both Super Bowls. Since their last Super Bowl win, the Giants haven’t returned to the playoffs, which ended up costing Tom Coughlin his job as head coach. With the Giants hiring a new coach in the offseason, the team’s NFL odds of making the playoffs are better this year.

Things seem to be moving in an upward trend for the Giants because they are projected to have a top 10 defensive line this year, which is something they haven’t had in the last two seasons.

Last season, the Giants allowed 419.3 yards-per-game, and finished dead last in the league in the category. In the offseason, the team added Damon Harrison and Olivier Vernon to their defensive line, and are expecting Johnathan Hankins to have a bounce back season along with Jason Pierre-Paul, who missed half of the season recovering from a fireworks accident.

The Giants are also expecting a breakout season from Jay Bromley, who finished with 36 tackles last season. Since the Giants seem to have a lot of offensive weapons, general manager Jerry Reese was able to focus on the defensive side of the ball this offseason.

In addition to bolstering the team’s defensive line, Reese also improved the secondary by signing Janoris Jenkins and drafting Eli Apple. If the defensive line can get pressure on the quarterback, it will allow the defensive backs more opportunities to make big plays in the secondary.

Reese has to be happy with the job he did upgrading New York’s defensive line because they seem to have a perfect mix of pass rushing and run stopping on the line. With stars like Oliver and JPP on the edges, they should be able to get pressure on the quarterback consistently. With players like Damon Snacks Harrison in the middle, they should also be very good against the run, after allowing an average of 4.4 yards per carry last season.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano is one of the people that is very impressed with the Giants for being able to sign Harrison in the offseason. Graziano believes the Giants are a better fit for Harrison than the New York Jets.

Graziano believes Harrison is the best player at what he does, which is stopping the run on the defensive interior. While a lot of Giants fans are excited to see what Harrison can do for their team, there are some people concerned about the team paying $9.5 million a year to a player that participates in two downs per defensive series.

However, the Giants are concerned about paying Harrison $9.5 million because they believe he can help on 3rd downs as well.

After an impressive 2014 season in which he was ranked as a top 10 defensive lineman, Johnathan Hankins had a rough 2015 season. While some people were disappointed that he regressed from the previous season, a lot of experts have noted that the decline in his production was due to not having JPP for the first eight games of the season.

With JPP back in the lineup, expect big things from Hankins this season. While it is too early to call the Giants defensive line the best in the NFL this season, don’t be surprised if they finish the season as the top ranked line in the league.

1 hour before free agency begins, sources say the Giants have agreed in principle to a deal with former Jets DT Damon Harrison. Harrison was one of, if not the leagues best defensive tackle in 2015. Harrison was certainly a factor of the Giants loss against the Jets in 2015.Harrison will fit into the Giants 4-3 scheme perfectly, lining up on the interior next to the youngster, Jonathan Hankins.

NYG now have deal w/Damon Harrison, as Jordan predicted. RT @JordanRaanan: #Giants are on verge of landing former #Jets DT Harrison.

— Kimberly Jones (@KimJonesSports) March 9, 2016

The deal is worth $46.25M over the course of 5 years. Jerry Reese is definitely making a splash in free agency. The Giants are being linked to free agent Olivier Vernon. Sources say it is between the Jaguars and Giants to grab the star defensive end. Well have to wait and see how much Reese is willing to spend on Vernon.
