The Giants need to figure out their defense, because the teams' success depends on it. While the common thinking goes that players improve entering their second year, the evidence suggests that rookie pass rushers who struggled initially will continue to disappoint.
There's only so much the Giants' talented, revamped defensive line can do. Well, because it's May 6 for one thing. But also because we've been talking a lot about the Giants' linebacker situation, and Sintim is a recent example of the Giants using a relatively valuable resource the 45th pick in the draft on a linebacker who didn't pan out. Part of the reason the Giants are thin at the position is that they don't usually make it a priority during the player-acquisition portion of the offseason, and part of it is that several of the guys they've worked to acquire Sintim and Keith Rivers are two examples haven't developed or performed the way the Giants hoped they would, either because of injury or for other reasons.
As we mentioned in the links this morning, part of the reason the Giants undervalue linebacker is that they're a team that's using its base front less and less as the years go on and passing offenses continue to find ways to put more passing-game personnel on the field. The Giants think it wiser to invest in the defensive line and the secondary.
