Top Defensive End Tandem?

[Juggernaut]

It may be homerism, yet i love the DE tandem of Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora. I don't see any other tandem coming close besides maybe Minnesota's just because of how dominat the DT's are.

Your thoughts?

Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney ring a bell?

Not really a D End tandem, but Freeney and Mathis, Tuck and Osi are a close second.

Robert and Dwight

Maybe its just me, but whenever i watch the Indy games Dwight doesn't do shit. Mathis is usually beast as hell, but Dwight is on and off. Osi and Tuck seem to be more consistent and the safer pick imo.

dwight is constantly double teamed

Jags game , 11 seconds to go , Jags on the Colts 16 . Dwight Freeney Sacks David Garrard and the clock runs out for an important win

Enough for you?

Ps. This was more of a great moment than evidence

That was probs a great game for you guys, but i still think that Osi and Tuck are better. Both are young and dominat, and imo will cememnt themselves as the best DE tandem this season.

 

[Archer]

Also Freeney had 10.5 sacks last season while being constantly doubled with no DT for the oline to worry about

Unlike NY where the whole D-Line is a pass rushing threat

Well Freeney and Mathis both had 10+ sacks last season . Considering most teams pound the run on Indy its hard for them to get alot of sacks . We have NO defensive tackles unlike the Giants

homerism: Seymour/Warren with Green off the bench.

Osi is not really a huge threat, he had one huge sack game in 2007 but then slowed down for the rest of the year.

Yeah Robert and Dwight for sure right now.

In five years we will be saying Groves and Harvey

This.

Here's a good example; Flozell Adams is supposed to have problems with elite speed rushers, yet he's given up 1 sack to Osi the past 3 (really 2 since Osi didn't play last year) seasons. And that's not due to double teams at all.

Mathis Freeney is beast, and Osi Tuck is about equally as beastly, but they do have better DT's to clog up space.

I think Tuck and Osi are a bit better against the run, Freeney and Mathis better at getting to the QB.

Thats probably cause Mathis shouldnt even be playing 4-3 end when you look at his size lol

He makes it work anyways
