I had a chance for a sitdown with Eli Manning yesterday and most of that will be turned into a story in our upcoming preview section. But one thing jumped out that I wanted to share. Here's the exchange:
Q. What would have happened if you had said: You know what, Dad, I’d really love to play defense?
A. I probably wouldn’t have lasted long. I might have tried it for a little bit but it probably wouldn’t have worked out. In flag football I played middle linebacker and a little d-end, but that was in like fifth or sixth grade. Since eighth grade, the first time I played tackle football, it’s been quarterback only.
Defensive end? Hey, aren't the Giants looking for guys who can play that position? Forget about Kiwi, the answer to replacing Umenyiora might be right in the middle of the offensive huddle!
