Re: Giants Release 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?

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.

Re: Giants Release Pierce
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.

Re: Giants Release Pierce
So the season of cutting begins (Donte Stallworth was too unsurprising to count).

Re: Giants Release Pierce
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.

Re: Giants Release Pierce
Non-football comment:
My son, 12 and a NYG fan  , and I went to NYC for his 10th Bday. He wanted a jersey so bad, I got him Pierce because of his Redskins ties. He and I went to the Fedex MNF game this year with him wearing it. So this is a bummer to me, because of that kinda weird bonding thing that happens there.On the football side, If Pierce came back and had the same grudge toward the Giants as he did to us, I would be ok with it. But it's not gonna make or break my off-season glee. |

Re: Giants Release Pierce
Letting Pierce go to the Giants was the Skins' biggest mistake of the past decade (and that's saying a lot). He revamped their D and was the single biggest reason they won the Bowl.
Doghouse or not if they are letting him go his injury issues must be serious. I wish him the best of luck but we don't need him here, we have to get young quick. |

Re: Giants Release Pierce
Look for the Saints (Gregg Williams) or the Rams (Spags) to look at him.

Re: Giants Release Pierce
He's 32 and coming off a neck injury. I think it's also safe to say he's lost a step, perhaps a step he never had to begin with.
