The Giants laid the blueprint...

Actually there was no blue print for what the Giants did. This was a unique situation when 3 DEs started on the line.... Justin Tuck was a DE, and they transformed him into an unstoppable DT. I know all this, cause Strahan talked about it in one of his interviews after the game. They did something very unique with Tuck, and that might be a blue print for us, in having C Grant a slow DE, who could do miracles as a DT, just as Justin Tuck did. And the play of J Tuck was the difference in the game, when the Pats had no answer for him.

We did that a lot with Darren Howard and Tony Bryant when we finished the 2004 season 4-0... Playing them at DT with Will and Charles on the outside... Pressured the QB like crazy...
