Many of the Giants former defenses were known for their pass rush, but through the first few games this year; they have struggled getting to the quarterback. Who has to step up on the Giants defensive line?
-Murtuza
Dear Sammy:
Everyone. As Devon Kennard said, it takes four players to get a sack. That's obviously not the case every time, but teamwork is essential. The four-game absence of Robert Ayers because of a hamstring injury hasn't helped. But neither Kerry Wynn nor George Selvie have a sack. Nor does Johnathan Hankins, who had seven a year ago. The Giants need more production from everyone on the defensive front. **[
ASK YOUR QUESTIONS TO EISENS MAILBAG](http://www.giants.com/news-and-blogs/eisens-mailbag.html)What have you seen early on from Owa Odighizuwa? How does his future look with the Giants?**
-Ross
Dear Kyle:
It's a bit premature to judge Odighizuwa, because he's been a part-time player for only three games. He's a hustler, and a try-hard player who's getting accustomed to the speed of the pro game. He has the physical tools, and great promise. But it's impossible to make a definitive statement about him without more production than three career tackle.
