TommyNYG Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think Pierce has been the only consistent LB this year for us. Barrett is on IR, I doubt Emmons will play Sunday, Torbor has been hurt and Greisen was recently inserted into the starting lineup. I like Pierce's aggressiveness and I am a huge fan about how he sheds a block to make the tackle, he's got nice vision. As far a Griffen, he never lived up to his rookie season when he was with us. He had a monster year last year for you guys, something I did not expect. Would have liked to keep him in hindsight, but he just wasn't that type of player his final year in blue.- Proved me and the Giants wrong I guess.

Oldskool Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Id rather have Griffin over Pierce 10 times out of 10 and twice on Sunday. Linebackers are a dime a dozen, run stuffing DT's that can put pressure on the QB and even play in space when needed? Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RYANJOHNXI Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 YOU GUYS NEED TO CHILL... AP was thinking of his family first...the 26 mil that NYG is giving him is barely enough to feed his kids...cut him some slack...i mean he wasnt the one who got tired in the SUPER BOWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmania123 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I am tired of hearing and reading his winey crap. STFU and just play. He wanted the money and so he left. Look the contract the Skins offered was comparable to what the Giants offered. So if he really did not want to leave he would not have left. Given the cost of living increase the Giants and other New York teams have to toss their players, it was almost an identical contract. He is an ass, and he is just looking for an opportunity to get pumped up to play....yawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[[ghost]] Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I think they mean it as a verb and a pun on his name. If it weren't a title, "Pierces" wouldn't have been capitalized.That added to the confusion a little. Still... eff him. i was gonna say that but i didn't want to sound like a smarta$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrfriedm Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Somebody fill me in on AP's stats this season? Oh yea, he's not even in the top half of the league in tackles, sacks, fumbles, or INTs. But he deserved that money.........Yea whatever. :stfu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatmeworry Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 If it wasn't for the Redskins he'd be baggin grocerys some where. Absolutely. I'm sick of AP's whining. Hope JJ lays him ot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillaCam21 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Didn't we not resign Pierce because we didn't want to pay him more than we paid marcus Washington the year before. Marcus Washington was the redskins linebacker that went to the Probowl last season, not AP. I guess he couldn't convince anyone in the front office that he was more valuable than Washington. Let this guy keep running his mouth. Its just more bulletin board material for our team. Everyone on our team is going to want to punch AP in his mouth. I dont think that anyone on the Giants is going to be playing with any extra emotion just because Pierce didn't get the contract he wanted from the Skins last year. I know Antonio has a reputation as a smart linebacker, but what he's doing isn't smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Even Pierce himself said that he got more money than he expected. If someone wants to overpay for one of your players, what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuru10 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I hope Pierce plays great 14 out of 16 weeks(minus the 2 against us). The better he plays, the better the compensatory pick we'll get for him leaving. Right now, it looks like a 3rd for him. Marshall and a 3rd > Pierce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wants to overpay for one of your players, what can you do? yup, both Pierce and Smoot were overpayed... Skins werent gonna pay Pierce more than Washington or Smoot more than Springs....good decisions... Pierce really got lit up by LT in SD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a great year for us and he made a good rags-to-riches story the way he came out of nowhere. When he left he was a fan favorite and most wished him well. Since then we've gotten sick of the man's jilted-lover bitterness, a surprise to everyone especially since he left for a difference in $$$ that was relatively small. A month ago I'd have told you I'm glad he's working out. Can't honestly say that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Lemar Marshall signed for a lot less than Pierce did, and he played almost as much. Sure not as many stats, but a solid performance nonetheless. On one side, I understand why these people want bigger contracts as they want security, but I hate when they bring in 'fair market value' ideals. It's an honor just to play for a team in my opinion, and I see nothing wrong with a 4-5 million SB and maybe a 15-20 million contract overall for 5 years. That's being rather generous still I feel, most people could just live off the interest of a 5 million signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuru10 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I thought he left as an UFR...I dont think we get anything? Yeah we do get compensation, based upon the complicated NFL formula for how many guys you sign, lose and how they perform. For us, we only signed one impact free agent, Rabach, and lost 2 guys having an impact, Pierce and Smoot. We'll probably end up with a 3rd or a 4th for each of them.

hokie4redskins Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I remember Trotter saying the same thing about the Eagles game in 2002 and we got whooped. Go ahead and circle the date AP, you're going to get owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
