By ESPNNewYork.com, the former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has signed a contract with the 49ers. This is the second free agent to sign a giant contract with San Francisco, joining receiver Mario Manningham.
I know some fans were harboring the Giants are hoping that Jacobs could not get enough good suggestions from other countries and may return to the Giants, but it always seemed unlikely, and now it seems that these hopes were not realized.
Jacobs won the Super Bowl twice in New York and will always remember fondly the Giants and their fans. Giants coach Tom Colin said this morning about how difficult losing players with whom you win the championship
"It's very difficult. It's not that simple. Guys who were with you long, it's a natural feeling," said Colin. "But the great thing about the experience I had, for example, Brandon, Brandon, it's easier for you. There is a sense of participating in it, but we do not say goodbye. We just say" next time ".
The Giants will struggle to replace Jacobs. Of course, it has slowed somewhat in recent years, there was as much a part of the crime. But he always brings that little or no other work back in the league to do, in terms of speed and athleticism, he has remarkable for its size. They will need some veterans are able to team up with Ahmad Bradshaw and her ever hit to the legs, and they are already at work to find it.
"It's like the questions raised by that is that right after the world champions," said Colin. "We're going to the parade, we return to the parade, and the next day, we evaluated the players, we are the players. Company is just going. Enjoy it while you can because you have the next hurdle, and to catch up, you have to deal with these things. "
