“It’s exciting,” said Locklear, who will attend the opening of the Giants’ offseason conditioning program on Monday. “I was on the other end of two games against the Giants last year – followed them pretty well in their run to the Super Bowl. But, actually, when I got the call I was kind of excited about the chance to actually play in New York and who doesn’t want to play with the team who just got done winning the Super Bowl? My thing is to just get in here and start fresh, start learning again and try to help this team get back to where they want to go.”

Locklear was originally a 3rd round draft pick from North Carolina State, and prefers to play right tackle.  He will have the chance to compete and win that job in camp, and he certainly adds depth at a much needed position.

Welcome to the Super Bowl Champion New York Football Giants Sean….We are glad to have you.

Here are the questions Keith had for GMENHQ about Sunday’s game:

1) Osi and Tuck seem to be the keys to making this defense work. If either don’t play or are limited because of their injuries, how can the Giants still create pressure on Tarvaris Jackson?

Two of the best veteran tandem pass rushers in the NFL — you’re darn right it effects pressure from the front 4 if they play or not. And not getting that pressure really stresses out the secondary for the Giants or any team that relies heavily on Cover 2 fundamentals. Now, I think Osi will probably play, Tuck might be inclined to rest until after the bye week. He’s day to day right now. That said — both JPP and Dave Tollefson have done a fine job filling in respectively. Will it be a 10 sack game? No, but the Giants will nip off a few sacks here and there and get enough pressure to be competitive for 60 minutes on the defensive side of the ball. LB Mathias Kiwanuka and Michael Boley also are fantastic pass rushers — if the Giants bring 5 with A gap in mind that’s who you will see there. And off the edges S Antrel Rolle and CB Aaron Ross have been known to cause a lot of problems for opposing QB’s.
