Diehl takes the roundabout way back to the starting line for division-leading Giants
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Veteran offensive tackle David Diehl is back in the New York Giants' starting lineup, except it wasn't the way he wanted. Diehl was thrust back into the front line in the fourth quarter of Monday night's 17-16 loss to the Washington Redskins when Sean Locklear suffered a major knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season. Locklear had been one of the most productive free-agent acquisitions this season. Signed to back up Will Beatty and Diehl at the tackle positions, he started nine games. Two came on the left side because Beatty had back problems early, and seven on the right side after Diehl had an early knee injury and then a shoulder problem. Locklear played so well, that some wondered whether the 30-year-old Diehl might lose his job to the injuries. That's not an issue anymore with Locklear on injured reserve.

Most importantly, we need to feed off the energy of the crowd and give them something to cheer about." |

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
