I like Kikaha, but he's a one trick pony. And that one trick is even one dimensional right now. He's got a LOT to learn to become a consistent pass rusher.

But who says we are set even if he were consistent? Do you know defensive line is the most important area to have depth? Remember how many pass rushers the Giants had a few years back? That worked well for them.

I think Kikaha fits well as a complimentary edge rusher. That was my thought from the get go with him. He just doesn't look like a starting defensive end. He excels at making plays on ball carriers in the open field and has great burst, but doesn't have many moves and is certainly not an edge setter.

Don't ever think you have enough defensive linemen.
