Last week Clint Sintim was supposed to start at outside linebacker but he never saw the field in the first half because the Giants were in nickel. This week it was pretty clear who has the starting job.

Keith Bulluck was on the field in base and sub packages for virtually all of the first half. He and linebacker Michael Boley, in fact, were the only starters on defense to play until the intermission.

Well, except for Jonathan Goff, who wound up playing almost the entire game because of an injury to Phillip Dillard at middle linebacker. That may have turned out to be a good thing, though. I'll tell you why in the next post.
