In the NFL, players don't always make the Pro Bowl the first year they should. He has been that good. Sam Garnes is physical and when he's missed games, the Giants defense has suffered. Baltimore has Kim Herring and Rod Woodson. Herring is a big hitter and so is Woodson, but Woodson doesn't have the speed he used to have.
Giants are better here.
Lionel Dalton comes in on the line and adds quickness. Corey Harris comes in on nickel packages, James Trapp comes in on the dime coverage. The Ravens get bigger, faster, more dangerous and more daring in their subpackages. Giants Baltimore has the edge in many areas but Armstead, Strahan, Sehorn and Garnes are the four biggest defensive play makers in the Super Bowl. It will be big plays on defense that wins or loses the game.
