EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J (AP) —With Osi Umenyiora(notes) out with ankle and knee problems, and Justin Tuck(notes) still fighting through neck and groin issues, the Giants’ pass rush in Dallas Sunday will again hinge on the talents of Jason Pierre-Paul(notes).
Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
Pierre-Paul, a second-year pro who has a team-high 10 1/2 sacks, will undoubtedly face the same double-teams Umenyiora and Tuck have battled throughout the years against the Cowboys. The difference, though, is that the 6-foot-5, 278-pound Pierre-Paul’s has progressed meteorically in his short pro career.
The Giants (6-6) are a game behind first-place Dallas (7-5) in the NFC East.
