Who Starts Opposite Tuck?

In a follow up to Who Starts at Running Back?, I posit the question, who will start at RDE: Osi Umenyiora, or Mathias Kiwanuka?

Since this has been argued pretty much to death, I'm more interested in the poll results.

While looking for pictures, it's easy for me to feel good supporting Osi. There's this:

Among a few great Osi pics.

That's not to say Kiwi doesn't have some good ones

But I don't think any Defensive End can beat this picture (WARNING: potentially NSFW)
Osi seems to have learned his lesson and from all sources I've seen Kiwi is in it for the team as well.

I have an idea though. Why don't all three defensive ends start? Kiwi and Osi on the Outsides, and Tuck inside? Sure its a cop out when one of them leaves for the sideline the next play, but they all get to be starters. It's win-win-win.

Too much wishful thinking?

Kiwi starts.

Osi plays great off the bench.

Opposing quarterbacks are unhappy.

definitely

Carolina is going to be run-happy and I don’t know if I trust Osi on the run just yet.

Stop the run.

I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Canty at DE on downs where Carolina is more likely to run the ball. The Carolina running game is more intimidating then thier passing game. Put Canty and Tuck on the ends and Cofield and Joseph/Bernard in the middle and force them to pass the ball.

and I like that you have Joseph in there over Bernard…..

we’ll see if Goff sticks long term in the middle….i’m still holding my breath on that one.

Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
