i've heard he's pretty talkative on the field though

I wouldnt say he doesnt trash talk, I've heard this as well, especially in the Seattle game last year but in this instance at worst this is only a criticism with backing to it, it's not like he said this and the Giants Defense was doing what the Bears are doing right now, then that would be way off

Schein: No swoon for Big Blue

Adam Schein says there's no need to worry about the Giants falling apart -- not the way Tom Coughlin has them playing football. More ...



"I feel like they've got a lot of holes in their defense," the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver said, via ESPNNewYork.com
Less of a surprise: The relatively innocuous comments were picked up in New York, puffed up a bit and relayed to the most talkative member of the Giants' defense. Take it away, Antrel Rolle.
"I'll talk with my pads come Sunday. That's how I approach the game. That's how we always approach the game," Rolle said. "If he sees me, he better duck. That's it. ...


"Honestly, I don't give a flying f--- about what he says, man. That's just the reality of it. I could really care less. It don't matter to me."
Green lauded the Giants' pass rush, but he didn't say much about the secondary. New York is one of the worst teams in the NFL in terms of giving up big plays. That's where the holes are, and Green knows it.
Meanwhile, Rolle better hope he doesn't actually make Green "duck" Sunday. His words have ensured the NFL will be paying close attention to Mr. Rolle.


Wow.

What Antrelle Rolle says on Thursday--"He sees me coming, he better duck."

What Antrelle Rolle will be saying on Sunday when he sees AJ coming, "Oh, God, please don't let him embarrass me."

Trash talk only means something if the person receiving the trash talk is weak minded. If they are going to let some trash talk get to them, they need to toughen up. As far as Sonny and Ali. It obviously couldn't of just been the fact that they had fought before and Ali was more talented, could it? You can't with 100% certainty say that it was trash talk that caused him to lose.

Bottomline, I've already said it and I'll say it again. Trash talk is the most overrated thing in the game that people make threads about on a week to week basis. More than half of the time, it wasn't meant to be trash talk. The media just spins it so they have something to talk about.

Fine just hates the fact a vast majority of the fanbase loves AJ, while a ton turned on Chad after he became the Ocho.

Andy Dalton might want to pull a Brett Favre before tomorrow and retire and come back next week.

Why?

So he doesn't get killed I am guessing. But if Andre pass blocks better than last week, and no Faine in there, he could be ok. I dont see him having all day to throw it regardless as has been the case all season it seems, but just gotta hope o-line holds up against the G-Men's d-line.

Personally I've never hated Chad and I'm grateful he made a career of it here because before the nfl network and etc, it was thanks in part to him the Bengals were noticed across the league and living here in Canada there was rarely any Bengals coverage or recognition until Chad was here and the team got the attention and respectability when he was at his best

and as everyone frowns upon trash talking or what's defined as that, I was glad he did that because when he did it so much that he did little to nothing in certain games (mostly against the Steelers) the way I saw it he was drawing so much attention on himself that he made himself out to be a decoy while guys like TJ and Chris Henry were freed up and put up productive games on the Steelers like they did

Of course I would not encourage this on AJ Green right now seeing as we have nobody reliable to catch the ball beyond him right now but what he said this week was not trash talking and definitely just warranted criticism

At least there's something to make this game interesting. I was getting worried that I'd pass out listening to Shannon Sharp hating on us some more.

Yeah, I think it was around 2:00 am when I posted that, I'm not sure. Working on a project and my mind's been distracted from football. And, as Marvin would say, "that's a good thing."

Forget antrell where are the nay Sayers that take oppoutunity in every post to make an attempt to smear this young team....😒

Evidently AJ Green was right, the Giants secondary does have holes in it. Andy Dalton found four of them.

It's always nice to find a hole.

Might have been best not to poke the bear. I hope we can exploit those holes.

Please do not add to the media hype. He did not rip the Giants. He merely agreed with what the interviewer stated. Media as usual blowing something out of proportion.
