Title: The Big Hitter's Corner: UKGiantsfan on the State of the Giants, Part II/Defense

Here, Ceri and I pick up where we left off as we examine the Giants defensive personnel. It runs 26:00 even. Enjoy!

Part Two is another nice job, just like in Part One.  I particularly agreed with Ceri's point concerning the possibility of obtaining Anthony Barr and using him differently.

IMO, he has been a square peg in a round hole with the Vikings, and there's a good chance Bettcher can make him into a perennial Pro Bowler instead of an also-ran.

The problem with Ogletree, guys, despite his ability to generate turnovers, is that he often puts himself out of position while attempting to generate turnovers, which IMO does about as much damage as good.

Good idea breaking the interview up into two podcasts, Brian.

Certainly understand that viewpoint but our defense isn't good enough to bend but not break and sure as he'll isn't good enough to dominate. As such, right now I'll take a plethora of turnovers as an equaliser.

Ceri: I admit it's a tough (and close) decision, especially while holding a 6-10 record.  Bob

Bonus in reference to Kareem Martin (who you guys panned).   He cost the team a comp pick because his signing canceled out the loss of Kennard

Interceptions are often the product of luck or being in the right place at the right time. It

Hi all. This podcast has been up for about a month and is getting a little dated. I am moving it to the Chalk Talk board.
