Not that Ultimatenyg had it figured out or anything.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nj.com\/giants\/index.ssf\/2008\/08\/exgiants_lt_petitgout_cut_by_b.html\">The reason for mentioning Petitgout is that he was cut today by TB.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ultimatenyg.blogspot.com\/2007\/02\/hello-jerry-goodbye-luke-lavar-and.html\">At the time of Reese&#8217;s decision last winter we were as perplexed by the move as the media.<\/a> It was Reese&#8217;s first big move as GM. Petitgout&#8217;s replacement, David Diehl, gave us <a href=\"http:\/\/ultimatenyg.blogspot.com\/2008\/01\/shockey-and-barber.html\">addition by subtraction<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>The not so good&#8230;<br \/>1) The OL lost depth by losing interior help when Diehl moved to Tackle.<br \/>2) Diehl had the second most sacks allowed in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>BUT the very good&#8230;<br \/>3) Diehl was healthy for all 20 games, missing only 1 series vs TB for dehydration (constantly razzed by linemates for his un-ironman imperfection!)<br \/>4) Diehl was adequate enough in pass protection and did a good job on runblocking<br \/>5) GONE WERE THE PETITGOUT FALSE STARTS AND TREMENDOUS PENALTIES<br \/>6) No more Petitgout back spasms throwing the OLine into damage control<\/p>\n<p>That he has been cut by Gruden tells us plenty. Hmm, let&#8217;s see, Reese&#8217;s Giants won a Super Bowl and the Bucs released him a year later after only <strong>4 starts <\/strong>and yet another injury in 2008. I guess we need not guess. Reese knew exactly what he was doing when getting rid of Petitgout- he got rid of a player with inconsistent health and &#8220;cancer&#8221; penalties. With Phillips looking good in camp, all he needs is another rookie or two to &#8216;stick&#8217; and he will be bulletproof for a while. I think I like calling him Kevlar- any shots fired at him either miss or they just bounce off. He had a violent Shockey in his office and quietly moved on. There is no doubt who is running the show in Giantland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>done in the past year was cutting Luke Petitgout.
