Rolle is a great team motivator and did the same thing last season! I agree they need to be nastier! But I have no problem with osi saying brees is great! He is! But osi actually said he would rather build them up to tear them down than say they r garbage and give bulletin board material! Bottom line can’t forget these reporters ask questions to get a comment out that they can paraphrase and use to sell papers! Good luck gmen now go rip Brees apart!

RG3 is good, but it’s the scheme/system that’s winning.
Why didn’t the Giants bump the WRs at the line???

until they can learn to not play down to their opponents, the giants will never be a top-tier team. even though the spankings of SF and GB suggest otherwise, when you cannot beat teams like washington and philly, you are not among the NFLs elite.
———————————————————————
So then who IS elite?

New England? They lost to AZ at home!
San Fran? 0-1-1 against the Rams.
Houston? They lost to GB, who lost to the Giants, who you are saying is not “elite”
Atlanta? Call me when they win a playoff game.

You get my point. By your logic, there is no “elite” team.

Giants have all the parts, but they’re something in the formula. It’s like having all the best ingredients for a dish, but forgetting to put a little salt in it. Maybe Rolle is right.

I am beginning to think logical is RGIII’s mother or boyfriend. Dude just keep quite till he wins something. Yeah the guy looks good but if he keeps it up and gets hit like he has been he will be as good as Mark Sanchez in a few years.

Majority of the time when Rolle speaks like this the Giants listen and win. He’s very correct, Giants have a tendency to play weak at times, remember last season QBs fear the Giants because the Giants were putting QBs on the shelves (I am not saying hurting someone is alright) but in QB’s mind was oh crap, if I snap this ball I could get hurt. Now that thought isn’t there because they need the D is playing weak. If you can get the QB playing scare, he will rush the pass and throw more incomplete balls or more picks.

I think Rolle needs to think before he speaks.

The players were giving praise and respect where it was due. However, if I remember clearly, they were talking about how they needed to try and contain RGIII.

Most of the defense remembers how lucky they were to win the 1st game. It came down to who made the last play, and the Giants O did.

Not to mention, those players could’ve been trying to make the Redskins overconfident (many were), or trying to become under dogs as the Giants always play better as underdogs.

The Giants have proven over the past several years that they are more than capable of losing to the worst teams, beating the best teams, and everything in between. And when they lose to a mediocre team (not picking on the ‘Skins… they were the better team but they’re certainly not at the top of the heap), team members are quoted as saying “We need to play better” and “We need to finish things”. Tom Coughlin gets mad. Ad nauseum, rinse/repeat, etc.

Been a Giants fan a long time. Thrashing the Packers and then losing to the Redskins was the death rattle on their season. Seen it over and over again. Oh well. It’s about this time of year I take down the Giants flag anyway.

You will respect RGIII and the Redskins weather you like it or not. Make all the excuses you want but when it comes down to it, RGIII will always be the best talent on the field with a great supporting cast. Welcome to the RGIII Era, where if you aren’t with him, you are against him and will lose. Period.

Rolle is right. RGIII isn’t going anywhere either. Giants need to have a man dedicated to Griffin and when he’s a runner in the option his job is to plant Griffin into the turf. If Griffin is a runner – he’s fair game — Put him in the ground every time. They will stop running the option after the ribs, shoulder, and head start to get a little ouchy.

Yeah it really worked out last year when you said you’d beat your opponent 99 out of 100 times. How about you just keep your mouth shut altogether and play?
