Giants Release Pierce

Speaking of people who did not outlast London Fletcher:

Giants cut Antonio Pierce (http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2010/02/giants-cut-antonio-pierce.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nydnrss%2Fblogs%2Fgiants+%28B logs%2FThe+Blue+Screen%29&utm_content=Twitter)

Pierce and Fletch as ILBs, anyone, anyone? LOL. Seriously though, what happened to the Giants D? They went from being the dominant unit of the team just a season ago to this. I wonder if they will cut Osi too?

He was in the dog house towards the end of the season. Honestly, we wouldn't need him here, since we need other areas desperately.

I wonder if they will cut Osi too?I think they overvalue DL depth. It's important, for sure, but I could see them choosing not to move on from Osi, and starting him next year, even though he's their 3rd best DE. They also have no strong interior lineman, which makes timing their blitzes a lot harder when the opposing center (not Rabach though) can take their nose one on one and then they can't really overload one side.

It's a team that needs to find a middle linebacker, and Pierce isn't the explosive athlete he was from 2004-2007. They are essentially where we were defensively in 2006, talent-wise, but not nearly as fundamentally unsound.

Their passing offense is going to keep them in contention for the division regardless, but they certainly are not the Cowboys or the Eagles.

I would welcome back AP anytime! Especially if we run a 3-4

Pierce isn't that good in Pass coverage though, at least to my knowledge, I just remember him always getting beat by RB's or TE's, I do remember his pick 6 for us and he did have a pick six for the blue balls but still I've known him to be sketchy in pass coverage. So no pierce here for me, plus he has a bulging disk in his neck which is never good for a MLB.

So the season of cutting begins (Donte Stallworth was too unsurprising to count).

drum roll please.........vet minimum :benched:

Wasn't he one of the ones who ran their mouth about the Skins? I'm not sure what would be better.... shunning him for running his mouth or bringing him back to watch him eat crow. :)
