"I think he's a different guy," Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell said when asked to compare him to some of the better backs in the league. "I watched him in the offseason study and he's really good. I see guys hit him, tackle him,Scarpe Air Max Scontate, beat him up, punch him and he just keeps coming. He's got an iron will, and he's just a strong runner, and he's got a great determination to make those yards, and so we all have to be on the same page. We'll have to swarm tackle. We'll have to gang tackle. We'll have to see what we hit and hit what we see."
Freeman is the bigger question mark for the Giants defense, which has given up a league-high 209 points. He was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this month after a miserable start and signed by Minnesota because starter Christian Ponder hurt his ribs. Ponder is expected to be the backup this week. |
