WHOA! The Giants Just Released Blake Martinez Out Of The Goddamn Blue

Whoa, I did NOT see that coming. My brain was just starting to feel semi-normal after it got the Donovan Mitchell trade news dropped on it.

Now the Giants cut their tackling machine middle linebacker. 

If this was Dave Gettleman, the entire fanbase would be out with torches and pitchforks ready to destroy that enormous air conditioner in the middle of East Rutherford. But since there is actually a person with a functioning brain working as Giants GM, I am just going to assume that Blake wasn't a great fit in Wink Martindale's blitz orgy defense and Joe Schoen saw cutting him as a way for the Giants to get a tad bit of breathing room in the salary cap shitshow that Gettleman left him, even if it means the Giants shuffling the defense a bit 10 days before the season kicks off (Side Note: Fuck yeah, the season kicks off in 10 days).

So I am going to blindly trust in Joe Schoen while also politely asking that we at least entertain the idea of getting a middle linebacker worth a damn for next season when the books aren't filled with dead cap hits for shitty players that this bozo signed.

Actually if Shoen and Wink say we don't need any linebackers that don't blitz the fuck out of the quarterback, I'm fine with that. Or the Giants can pick up this stud.
