The best defensive end you don't know much about is Aaron Kampman, who earned his first Pro Bowl trip last season as a reward for his NFC-leading 15½ sacks. He also amassed 113 tackles, the most ever for a Green Bay defensive lineman. The Giants hope that right tackle Kareem McKenzie can subdue Kampman, who's been bothered recently by a rib injury.
If healthy, Kampman might loom as an even larger threat in this particular game if Manning is on the sideline. Remember, backup Jared Lorenzen is a left-handed quarterback, meaning his blind side is opposite that of Manning. The right tackle protects Lorenzen's blind side, which would put McKenzie on the spot.
