Giants Release Pierce

[CultBrennan59]

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.

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.

While he is eating that crow, he can wear his Super Bowl Champions Ring...

do you ever say anything positive about the redskins? the skins made a similar offer to Pierce that he accepted from NY. its called a business decision. HE choose the Giants. but to rant and rave about how classless the skins are is utter nonsense. hopefully he can use his ring to fix his body. because he is done in this league. im sure if he could still play, he would have no problem taking the skins money

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.

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.

Look for the Saints (Gregg Williams) or the Rams (Spags) to look at him.

GW won't take him cuz he's the one who let him go. GW figured all we needed was Lemar Marshall and GW's defensive "genius".

Cocky pr*ck killed our 2006 season, the year it should have all come together for Gibbs II.

But then he and Gibbs both later admitted publicly via interviews that they'd like to have that move back, that they should have tried to keep Antonio.

True. And to be fair it was GW that turned Pierce into a great player in the 1st place.

Yeah and I believe the offer from the Skins was very much in line with what the Giants gave him, the Giants just gave him more $$ up front. So it's not like the Skins let him walk out the door without making an effort to keep him.
