Osi as a Backup?

Ralph Vacchiano from the New York Daily news reported from new York Giants practice yesterday that defensive end, Osi Umenyiora, was relegated to the backup defensive end role. Osi explained his thoughts on the situation to reporters, it was "a little different and difficult. If I truly was not the best player, then I'd be cool with it. But I feel like I am the best player and everybody in this league knows the type of player I am - the minute in my mind I'm playing the way I'm capable of playing and I'm not on the field, then, of course, it's going to be a problem."
