New York Giants defensive end, Justin Tuck, told Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star Ledger the New York's 5-0 start last season was the beginning of the end because the team grew overconfident. "We started 5-0 and we kind of looked at ourselves like, 'here we go again. We're going to make the playoffs and blah, blah, blah.' And then we got hit in our face and we couldn't respond. So it's a good thing. I'm actually happy all of that happened last year because now we have to start from square one. You have two Pro Bowl defensive ends and you draft a guy 15, that's a good thing. Sometimes a fire needs to be lit. Sometimes you can get complacent being the No. 1 guy. That's cool with me. I like friendly competition."
Justin Tuck is referring to the 15th pick in this year's draft, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. He is being humble and kind though as we know Pierre-Paul was drafted as a safety net for Osi Umenyiora who could have been traded in the off season and played badly last season.
