    When Shaun O'Hara arrived for training camp, the New York Giants veteran center felt something was off. O'Hara quickly realized for the first time in six training camps, Antonio Pierce was missing, gone was that brash and cocky swagger that oozed out of Pierce daily. "I texted Antonio the first day and said, 'hey man, it feels weird to not have you here,'" O'Hara said. "That is one of the things that everybody misses on defense, his personality." It's almost as if the Giants left East Rutherford forgetting to pack a cell phone charger or a toothbrush, and unfortunately, the Giants can't just go to the nearest Target to get what they need. Replacing Pierce's voice on the defense will require somebody with experience, credentials and most importantly, talent. The logical choice is Justin Tuck, the Giants star defensive end knows he is the man who must take the baton and become the defense's next leader, following in the stomping footsteps of Pierce and Michael Strahan.
