A-Peace
The Giants cut ties with LB Antonio Pierce this week in a bold move that signals a major overhaul for a defense in disarray.
Wow, how’s that for ‘what have you done for me lately? ‘
Question for GM Jerry Reese: is getting younger worth cutting your smartest player? A.P. has had his share of injuries, but at 31 years-old, there aren’t many players in the NFL that can match his intelligence. Plus, the guy took tremendous pride in beating the Cowboys, Eagles and Redskins. Big Blue is 21-12 against the NFC East since 2005 – the year Pierce arrived in NYC. He also led the team in tackles in Super Bowl XLII, only one of the biggest games in Giants history.
The linebacker scorned has already expressed his desire to stay in the NFC East. It makes sense – when the Redskins made the mistake of allowing Pierce to sign with the Giants in 2005, he never let them live it down. So Jerry Reese, I ask again - do you feel lucky?
