More Sash love today. Especially with the news that Giants Prince Amukamara has broken foot. Sash is opening up eye in New York in a big, big way.
Aaron Ross' refusal to play safety may open doors for Tyler Sash
The first and most sensible possibility under consideration would be to use Aaron Ross in Thomas' role, but Ross has already stated that he would not be willing to play safety. This leaves the Giants in need of some contributions from Tyler Sash, a 6th round draft pick out of Iowa in April's draft.
Sash has been taking reps with the first team defense and is expected to contribute to the defense early and often in 2011. This should be no tall task for Sash, who was a defensive captain and a candidate for both the Ronnie Lott and Bronco Nagursi awards during his tenure at Iowa (designating the nations best safety and best defensive player respectively).
"Again, he hasn’t made a live tackle in the NFL yet and I’m already penciling him in as a 10-year veteran. I know, crazy talk. But I can’t help it. To see him be in the right place so often in a year where the rookies had no offseason workouts, OTAs or minicamps is quite remarkable," Mike Garafolo of The Star-Ledger wrote this morning.
