Lughead Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Sintim Giants defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan confirmed that second-rounder Clint Sintim will start at strong-side linebacker. Sintim will also be moved into a pass-rushing role on third-downs. Along with free agent acquisition Michael Boley on the weak side, the Giants have done a nice job upgrading their linebacking crew around Antonio Pierce. Danny Clark will move to a reserve role this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I like it. Obviously Sheridan being the ex-LB coach knows what to look for in starting material. ........Boley............Pierce............Sintim Osi...........Canty.............Robbins.......THE BEAST! Thats a fucking nasty front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 There is no way that Sintim will be handed the starting job without earning it first....I don't care what any writer says. My bet is.....if he shows he's got the stuff, that he will be brought in for obvious passing plays.....especially on 3rd downs. He's good (IMO), but Boley has a lot of NFL experience and his style fits the Giants defensive scheme perfectly, unlike the scheme used by Atlanta. If Sintim proves himself.....there's a possibility he'll be starting by the end of the year or sometime next year. Boley is a lot better than some people think and he's going to be hard to knock off his pedestal. ----edited--- my bad....I meant Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you meant Clark, he is nothing special and did nothing to help our LB core in the long run. If Sheridan likes Sintim he will be starting from day one.

Nas Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I think it's pre-mature to say who's going to start and who isn't. Isn't this what training camp is for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws44 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I think that sentance is worded poorly. I'm pretty sure that they mean that Sintim will be starting out as a SAM LB, not that he has the starting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the draft there was some question whether he would play weak or strong side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 that was exactly what I thought as well. After the draft there was some question whether he would play weak or strong side. though in my opinion that speculation is weird since in my eyes hes clearly more of a sam than a will, and we also just went out and grabbed a free agent who will clearly start at will.

How r u going 2 do that from the strong side ( TE ) of th e formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
