Drats, double darn, Canty is practicing & looking good,

[Nexx]

Canty can rush the passer. The gaints have some Great Pass rushers in Tuck and Osi. So if Canty can provide that up the middle pass rush they will be scary.

kinda like how we were saying, if canty could get any kind of push with ware, ellis and rat as some great pass rushers the cowboys could be scary. but you know how that ended... im sorry but canty is very average and nothing to be overly concerned about.

Sounds like cheating to me. Isn't this why so many players take performance enhancers, not to make them stronger but to recover quicker?

Are naps cheating too?

No such thing as a 3-4 nickel.

Yes there is. The Cowboys ran the 3-4 nickel defense Friday night. Unfortunately the refs recognized it and flagged them for 12 men on the field.

 

[DallasEast]

well thats not what canty said, he said that he and the giants were going to show up the cowboys and tear the cowboys up, especially on the defensive line, while showing teams how to beat the cowboys;

"Saying" and "doing" are two different things entirely. No one should ever be concerned about the former. Only the latter is debatable.

The Giants have a formidable defensive line, just as they have for several seasons. When Dallas has fielded a healthy offensive line, it has been successful in countering it. Does Canty's addition regress or improve that line? Or does remain at it's previous status quo?

Canty does not regress the Giants' defensive line. He's a quality player who is solid against the run. He's not particularly strong as a pass rusher, whether he's lined up on the inside or outside.

Is Canty another Albert Haynesworth? Namely, a defensive tackle who will come in and upgrade the DL? No, he is not.

From the Giants' perspective, two things will determine whether he will be perform better than Alford and make New York's defensive line more than formidable:

1. Can he play at a higher level than a comparable player, Jay Alford, on the Giants' DL?
2. Will he be able to effectively disruptive against the Cowboys' offensive line blocking?

I don't see Canty transforming into a juggernaut simply by moving to another defensive scheme. He has never shown any 'freakish' talent while playing in Dallas. Will he now? Not likely.

Canty is familiar with Adams, Kosier, Gurode, Davis and Colombo's blocking abilities. Likewise, they are equally versed in Canty's strengths and weaknesses as a defensive lineman. Leaving the team doesn't magically grant Canty with an advantage over the same teammates who he practiced against for years.

I just get the all-of-a-sudden dread over Canty in a Giants uniform.

 

[Bluefin]

Canty can rush the passer.

All evidence to the contrary?

I will be very surprised if Stephen Bowen isn't much more effective as a nickel rush tackle than Chris Canty was.

I don't see him playing out that contract, hell i'll be suprised if he plays 3 years of it.

Same here.

 

[sonnyboy]

i understand what your saying homeoflegends, when canty played strictly RDE he generally didnt produce, but when the cowboys put him at DT in certain situations, like the giants are going to do, canty shined. Thats the part im worried about, and he knows our offensive linemen's strengths and weaknesses, you can bet he is foaming at the mouth to show up the cowboys.

No more so than they know his strengths and weaknesses.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Maybe that's the problem. I wasn't trying to argue.

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Who really cares now to be honest....he is a Gnat now...time to move on folks

 

[Sarge]

Bring it. Enough talk.

 

[BHendri5]

whooooo we are so scared. really what has this guy done? He will not do anything against us, he may not even play.

 

[kmp77]

Canty didn't do a thing while here....why would anyone be scared of him??

 

[BAT]

Canty is just a guy...a big guy.....but just a guy.... I highly doubt he wants any parts of Leonard Davis when Canty slides inside

Olshansky is bigger. Stronger. Better.

 

[lspain1]

On Canty......I guess we'll see......and then we'll know.

 

[arglebargle]

IIRC, the Scientific Football guy said that Canty played best while in the nickel four man rush as a DT. Still doesn't make the contract a good idea, but there is at least some backup for the idea that he could do well as an inside guy in a 4-3, especially in rotation as the Giants do it.

And 3-4 DEs are rarely going to be sack monsters. Unless they are as tough as the Rat......

 

[tunahelper]

Canty had 3 whole sacks last year playing in the nickel. I don't see how anyone can say that he "shined".

&

Canty was sandwiched between Ware and Ratliff. Anyone think Canty had a few 1 on 1 opportunities for sacks?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Canty is nothing special... Gurode will get under his pads and make him useless.
