I am one of those guys. Defensive coordinator John Fox said that Strahan's ability to play the run and pass makes him the most complete defensive end in the game. Defensive line coach Denny Marcin said opponents run away from Strahan's left side about 66 percent of the time. Oddly, he missed the Pro Bowl for the first time in four years. Stopping the run and keeping opposing linemen off the Giants' linebackers is the primary goal.
Pressure comes next.
Strahan insists he hasn't picked up his game for the playoffs. He has been playing the same way all year and he intends to play that way against Ravens tackle Harry Swayne on Sunday. I don't care to be the media darling. I don't care to be on the front page of the paper. I don't care about any trophy or accolades.
