Up until this week Pierce had been painfree

It's not because Monte Kiffin's defense isn't sound, it's because Monte is spreading Berry in areas that he knows are weak which makes him watch the ground more than the sky, he can't be everywhere at once when he's defending two sometimes three positions. Again he is unselfish and does what's best for the team but still, if you don't want to be in ESPN highlights don't even throw in his direction and never ever ever bobble a pass, or juggle the ball, or single-hand the ball, or..... well you get the picture.As I was saying he is deserving of many things, including a little silence from the fans as well He is already torn as to what to do.

There is no shadow of doubt regarding him knowing the love the faithfuls have for him. Since 2007 he has been our Manning surrogate and he knows that, which makes it that much harder for him to make a decision.

We all know the risk, which is high that he could be injured and never play again (remember Iroqouis "Inky" Johnson). The guilt would be the same had Peyton's injury in his last bowl game been more severe, we still held our breath though. I know we are all going to be watching from the corner of our eye when the draft arrives We know he'll go first round, hopefully 1st or 2nd pick. Then there is the other option which we all want; we're greedy with young men like him. The question remains as to how we'll feel should he decide to finish school and how his health will be three games into next season. Will it be elation or remorse Do we gamble with such a precious resource I'll go ahead and say what I believe you are thinking.

His number should be getting enshrined right now in one of those fancy polished wood frames. You know the ones I'm talking about right The ones they'd hang beside Peyton's and Reggie's.. The Giants defensive captain and field general will be sitting on the sidelines this Sunday after a bulging disc was found in his neck after an MRI.No. 58 Antonio Pierce could be sitting for quite some time as neck injuries are very serious and have ended players careers in the past. Pierce originally sustained a burner during the Arizona game on Oct 25.Up until this week, Pierce had been pain-free. This week in practice, Antonio experienced an increased discomfort, so the Giant medical staff scheduled the MRI exam immediately.The Giants will face the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday and will need all hands on deck to snap a four-game losing streak. The loss of Pierce at this critical time could be devastating. The Big Blue defensive has been ravaged with injuries over the last 10 weeks including Canty, Ross, Boley, Philips and Dockerty.Antonio Pierce in his ninth NFL season has made an huge impact as a New York Giant since joining the team in 2005. Pierce makes up for his lack of size and speed by being one of the smarter players in the NFL. Consider Pierce a film junkie, as he is verydiligent in the film room, giving him an edge come game time. No. 58 is also the first Giant linebacker to make the Pro Bowl since fan favorite Jessie Armstead's five-year tenure in Hawaii.Pierce was quoted that he was looking forward to trying to help New York snap its losing streak on Sunday against the Falcons (5-4)."This game means a lot to us," Pierce said earlier Friday.

"For one, we need a win to get out of this four-game slump and, two, it will help us in the playoff hunt. - ESPNThis gives the Giants a variety of moves at the linebacker position. Pierce's replacement most likely will be No. 57 Chase Blackburn who's natural position is behind Pierce at the MLB spot. With the placement of Gerris Wilkinson to IR last week with a broken wrist,weak side linebacker Brian Kehl becomes the back up to starter Michael Boley.For any reason, Blackburn stays put at theweak side linebacker position behind Boley, 2nd year pro Jonathan Goff will step in the starting role for Pierce at MLB. Goff was a fifth round draft pick in 2008 out of Vanderbilt. In 2009 he has made a nice impact on special teams including some huge hits on the kick off return team. In 2008 Goff was shuffled in and out of training room with a rash of injuries:Injury No. 1: a transverse process fracture in the preseason opener at Detroit.Injury No. 2: concussion against the Eagles that knocked him out for a game.Injury No. This article has been removed by me, Daniel Barber aka Hotnuke as I am no longer writing for this site..
