High Praise for Kampman



By Paul Schwartz

September 16, 2007

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.
