Giants Release Pierce

Speaking of people who did not outlast London Fletcher:

Giants cut Antonio Pierce

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 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.

Only from an aesthetic perspective. Not in tangible or meaningful ways.

Is it possible it's because Spags left to coach Rams?

Injuries had quite a bit to do with it, though not the only factor.

As did age, lack of speed................and I will say his stupidness for not showing better judgment in the Plax incident,you know the Giants didn't forget that .

Free agent LB Antonio Pierce says he would prefer his next team to be in the NFC East.
He could give the Eagles a two-down thumper and perhaps allow Stewart Bradley to move to the strong side (Bradley's college position). Pierce could also be of use in Washington if the Skins install a 3-4. Still, no team is going to offer the injured 30-year-old more than a one-year, incentive-laden deal

quit kidding your self. if this were the Pierce of 3-4 years he would still be with them. his diminished skills are the single biggest reason he got cut

Redskins_P · 02-11-2010, 02:45 PM

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

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