That tells me that they're pinning that play on the LG. Heisel slipped in between Heyer and Pucillo, but you didn't hear Gibbs or Bugel defending Pucillo at all. I think they feel it was Pucillo's fault.

And you know that hit to Campbell scared the living hell out of them. I'll bet the decision to acquire an LG was made right after that hit. They then started calling around, heard about Kendall, heard what he wanted money-wise, cleared the space by cutting Marshall, and made the trade.

That is an interesting point, and in retrospect cutting Marshall makes much more sense .
