He actually played inside at times during the preseason and did very well.

True, but it is a complete waste of talent to take one of the best edge rushers in the game, and move him anywhere else...
What, you going to move Hardy inside so he can double teamed by centers and guards every play and put fukking Mincy on the edge
Giants been hit with the injury bug . And damn wishing injuries smh

No, You put Gregory on the edge so you can have the Gregory, Hardy, Crawford & Lawrence pass rush from time to to time.True, but it is a complete waste of talent to take one of the best edge rushers in the game, and move him anywhere else...

While that is our best 4 pass rushers...I think Hardy is to good to be wasting him on center guard double teams...We need just a big body in their...it would be a waste of Hardy's skill set...
Exactly, you don't move your best guys to another position to make less talented guys feel more comfortable. We were getting immense pressure with Hardy on the edge, so you don't move him so whoever else can get on the field.

Did y'all not see the preseason? He didn't look uncomfortable at all and they got pressure with that formation, if they did use it they would only use it for maybe 5% of the defensive plays. Hardy & Lawrence/Gregory would still be the bookend DE for the majority of the game, so i think the worry is really for nothing. I would question the IQ of the staff if they didn't get creative with all the pass rushers they have at their disposal, especially since any other staff would do the exact same thing.

Only thing wrong with the pass rush now is Gregory being out...
And I think you are underplaying the difference between playing defensive tackle and defensive end in the scheme we run..it's a bit more complicated than 'have your 4 best past rushers out there"
The drop off in end play from Hardy to Gregory or Lawrence is going to be more than what you gain by moving Greg Hardy inside to DT...

Greg Hardy showed he's capable of playing inside from time to time, and Marinelli is the one who has come up with the 4 best pass rushers scheme not me. Again you do realize that the Gregory, Hardy, Crawford & Lawrence scheme is a very small part of the playbook right? You make it sound like it would be 80% of the snaps when it's really not.

The whole plan was to move Hardy all over the line from the jump. Just like the used Simeon Rice in this scheme. It won't effect anything, he'll still make plays from the 1 and QBs won't be stepping up with Gregory and Lawrence coming off the edge

And it also diminishes the times we have to see Hayden on the field

Hardy is huge no homo and powerful for a 4-3 DE (6'5 280lbs). Crawford is 6'4 290lbs as a 3-tech.
You brehs rather see Nick Fukkin Hayden in on passing situations

No one wishing injuries by mentioning the bug is coming. Every team gets hit with them at some point. Cowboys got hit a lot worse than the Giants but it happened early in the year.
I'd love to see how teams would do without a top 4 WR and top 8 QB
