Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, Petigout, and Morton

[freddyg12]

I wonder if this means the g-men are ready to make a serious offer to Briggs. He may be franchised soon, but that can lead to a trade.

I'm going to eat crow now. ESPN is reporting that Arrington, Carlos Emmons, and Luke Petigout have all been released. That means that the Giants enter the offseason without two starting OLBs, a starting LT, a starting HB, or anyone of note at DT. Wow, and I thought we had holes.

The Giants have a GM so I'm sure they have a plan in place. They are not as poorly run as we are. But they have some work to do.

Thanks for the link.

As for bringing LaVar back - even for a try-out - Dear Lord!!!

Will the LaVar worshippers ever stop? He had a shot, blew it and then showed his true colors (Q: "Who is the worst coach you ever played for?" A: "Joe Gibbs" (I saw the clip - he didn't hesitate even a beat before saying it)). LaVar hates the Skins and they probly don't like him all that much either. Why bring back the drama queen?

In one sense, both LaVar and Ramsey were two of kind - we Skins fans held them in much higher esteem then the rest of the league.

That statement by Arrington alone shows his complete lack of character. The only time I want to see him play in D.C. again is when Chris Samuels pounds him to the ground like Sean Taylor did to that punter this past weekend. Lavar should never be welcomed back as a Redskin under any circumstance and I seriously doubt he ever will.

Also, the Petitgout cut is good for us even if we don't sign him. Todd Wade did a fine job filling in - the more tackles on the market, however, the cheaper he becomes for us to resign.

I have never heard or seen LaVar ever say anything negative about Joe Gibbs, or Williams. Now he did not like Lindsay, for sure. the only thing I remember him saying was if Joe wanted him here, he would be here. If you are going to say something like that, provide proof.

LaVar did say some negative things about Gibbs.

"This was a very tough week for Giants LB LaVar Arrington, who was basically called a dummy by Dale Lindsay, his old position coach in Washington. Arrington responded by saying Joe Gibbs was the worst head coach he ever played for."

Q. Which coach wouldn't you like to play for?

Arrington: Joe Gibbs.

I agree, put a fork in Lavar he's done! Todd Wade did do a heck of a job.

What if we brought Back Lavar, and Smoot. We would look just like the Eagles. Let out guys go, they fail, bring them back on the cheap side.

Lavar is no longer talented. The giants cut him for a reason...

He's an over-zealous washed out linebacker who's had his shmorgusboard of physically debilitating injuries. He won't ever have a season close to those in his prime and has lost several steps.

I pray we don't get him.

Smoot is over-rated... but he's probably better than alot that's out there. We're really in bad shape on defense, and this has to be a very smart off-season.

No more Archuletta-esque moves. I'm hoping we trade down and fill as many holes as possible, because there are plenty of them.

trade down too much, and the talent might not be good enough, meaning you have to upgrade once again :/.

emmons and clemons would be good depth LBs to bring in for next year.

This is true... It's my personal (probably very un-educated) opinion that trading down is best. I'm honestly not passionate about trading down vs. drafting a play maker.... but the over philisophical aspects of it seems like an attractive idea to me.

I think we've done a pretty good job at evaluating draft talent, and getting some steals. I'm sure If we do end up trading down, the scouts will be able to take advantage of that option. If not... I'm sure we'll get a stud.
