how bout short?
Now that Armstead's gone how bout we take another Giant to fill his shoes. Branden Short is a young, healthy olb that isn't flashy but gets the job done. We could get him for a descent price and have a good fill for the future. NOT TO MENTION we would be reuniting him with former college teamate LaVar Arrington which may help the lb's gell quicker. And while I'm here...anyone else hoping we get Sean Taylor with the 5th pick? or maybe even Vince Wilfork.

Is short available? He is a great LB, but I still stick by my first thought that Pierce is a star in the making...also anybody remember the guy Lemar Marshall from camp and preseason? He seemed to have a lot of talent too.

Short would be good to pair with Arrington again....like their PSU days. but I don't think he is available, and I am not sure why the giants would make a trade with a division rival.....

free agent
I read in a poll of the top 50 free agents that Short could be picked up. Also, I do not see Peirce filling the hole at lb very well. He never impressed in pre-season and only makes dumb mistakes on special teams. Short would be a much better fit.

I'd like to see Pierce get a shot too. Is he a free agent himself? I seem to recall that he might be, not sure.

After that stunt in Dallas last season, when he gave the Cowpies a first down after forcing a field goal -- Pierce can carry his ass.
We cannot have linebackers with such limited intelligence on a Joe Gibbs coached team. |

I'd forgotten about that......
I'm just wondering about how the Skins are going to make all these pieces fit. Like everyone else here, I just want free agency to start so we can find out. The suspense is killing me!! |

On Short:
http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/fa?playerId=2236 By the way, you should check out ESPN's guide to Free agents if you haven't already. http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/fa It lets you look at them by position and gives scores and a summary rating for each. It's a pretty nice little tool. --Phin |

That's just plain common sense. I won't disagree with you about the pathetic coaching last year, but stupid mistakes by players like Pierce was as much to blame as anything else. Oh well, I'm tired of going back to last season anyway. This is a new year, and new season, and a new coach. Who cares about last year? |

If Taylor is still around at 5, and he should be, it will be hard to pass up on him. However, I do not think Wilfork is worth a #5. He just seems to get fatter every time I see him.
