Pierce had a good run with the Giants, and I wish him well if he goes to play somewhere else. But I think it's for the best.

This makes sense. When you put AP in space, he struggled often with passing game and he was getting eaten up in the run game. Still smart but just wasn't as physical. Guys like Brian Westbrook ate him for lunch.

Free Agent Options : Karlos Dansby, Gary Brackett

Draft options: Rolando McClain, Brandon Spikes

Chase Blackburn

I don't thin they are going to go with Blackburn. He did start at MLB when Pierce went down with injury. He played about 3 to 4 games until they gave the job to Goff. Goff did slightly better.

I think The giants are going to go younger at the LB spot. They spent so much on getting a D-line and building a secondary, it's a spot that needs to be fixed.

I think you're right that they won't go with Blackburn, but he has paid his dues, and he's always put out 100%. That's the kind of spirit we need. Just as I always liked Omar Stoutmire.

Imho, that AP was out with an injury, and having a new Defensive Coordinator, is one reason why our defense played so poorly this year. A body needs a head in order to function.

"Defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan and defensive line coach Mike Waufle were fired..."

He was aight as a team leader (except for his sheer stupidity re the Plaxico debacle) but ehhh... He had a pretty bad injury that I really doubt he could fully come back from. I think his best playing days are over. I'm ok with this decision as long as they do a good job in finding a replacement.
