Nine games into his first season, after being limited by a groin injury in September, Giants rookie linebacker Clint Sintim is finally getting the full experience. Against San Diego last week, the second-round pick split time in the base defense and had a productive game, recording three tackles in limited action while starting strongside linebacker Danny Clark drew the ire of middle linebacker Antonio Pierce for apparently missing an assignment on a 2-yard touchdown catch by Chargers tight end Kris Wilson. With Clark coming down the home stretch of his two-year contract with the Giants and the team having high hopes for Sintim, it appears the process of transitioning from the veteran to the young guy with the bright future is under way — perhaps all the way to making Sintim a full-time starter pretty soon. “His development will be better each week just because now he knows what to expect," linebackers coach Jim Hermann said. "And to me, that’s really where you want a young guy. You want him to develop, be around good and veteran guys, so he can see how they work and how to prepare.†Source: Newark Star-Ledger
