Like I’ve said before, even after the season ends there is never a dull moment in the National Football League.
The San Diego Chargers have fired head coach Marty Schottenheimer. President Dean Spanos and the organization felt like it was a move they had to make. Schottenheimer and GM A.J. Smith’s relationship continued to be a distraction and the coach’s value plummeted after losing five assistant coaches this off-season. The Chargers felt it was no longer worth bringing Schottenheimer back. While critics argue that Schottenheimer choked in the playoffs, you can’t lose playoff games unless you actually reach the playoffs. Schottenheimer has been a consistent winner, which is something the Chargers had never been until Marty Ball arrived.
Let the Jerry Reese era begin! The New York Football Giants made a few roster moves yesterday cutting Carlos Emmons, LaVar Arrington, and Luke Petitgout. Emmons could never stay on the field since signing with New York in 2004. Arrington made little impact before tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 7 at Dallas. The outside linebacker position has been a glaring weakness for Giants the last couple of seasons and it is time for some new blood. Petitgout has been reliable at left tackle, but has chronic back problems, commits too many penalties, is coming off a broken leg, and carried a $5 million dollar salary for next season.
