Antrel Rolle: We'll Shut Down the Tight Ends, reveals Giants Game Strategy

Just to remind everyone what the guy who is making these statements looks like......

I think they are going to try and duplicate the Steelers game plan..My guess!

If the Pats run it down their throats with the 3-TE package for 3 quarters, then turn the no-huddle spread loose on a bludgeoned Giants D the 4th, what happens?

They lose 24-20 with Eli throwing the game winning touchdown at the end of the game.

In the article one of the Giants also says that they plan on jamming and being physical with Gronk and Hernandez. This is expected. The question is, can the pats do anything to counter? I'll let the experts on this board respond.

.... And he said they'll sack Brady eleventy-twelve times before the half, and be up by, like, a bajillion points plus a figgie.
The jints will be eating celebratory hot-dogs from the vendors mid-way in the 3rd, a la Sanchez.

I wouldn't be too surprised, however I'd be surprised if that works. The Pats seemed to start to adjust as the game wore on and will no doubt be prepared for such a game plan.

More! MORE!

Antrel, I served with Dumbo, I knew Dumbo, Dumbo was a friend of mine. Antrel, you're no Dumbo.

If the TE spends an extra half second running over the DB at the line, I guess you could technically say his timing has been disrupted.

No surprise, this guy has been on a weekly paid spot on WFAN with Joe & Evan he predicts a win every week. He gets burned more often than not. He blew a coverage had an excuse that it wasn't his man or D play called. He preDICKed after a early loss to Redskins that if they played 100 times Giants would win 99 of them & 2nd time they played Redskins they LOST! Let NostraDUMBAZZ shoot his mouth because Pat's O line bears down and pass rush is held in check leavin Giant's D backs to be exposed. There will wide open spaces in secondary Welker should feast on.

Interesting. Wonder if they plan to put pressure on Brady too ...

Man, I hope they don't plan on winning the turnover battle as well.

General comment - why do some players always make such grand, melodramatic pronouncements about doing things that are expected of them to begin with?

As to the Jets/Giants behavioral connection, could it be something in the water? [shudder]

Let's get this straight.

Safety Antrel Rolle, all 6'0", 202 lbs is going to control Rob Gronkowski 6'6" 270 lbs. at the line of scrimmage? I doubt we'll see Rolle lined up on the line of scrimmage opposite Gronk even once in this game. He is writing a check that somebody else on his team will have to cash.

Moron.

Heard similar stories from the Jets last season and they actually found a way to back it up. So I am not even going to say this is arrogance. The Pats should be able to shut people up, the past 4 years, people have been able to talk **** and made us eat it too.

if you remember the we did not have hernandez in the divisional game against the jets . . . so they only had one te to deal with . . . couple if taking three dives whilst we were driving the ball, i would not say they stopped our two te offense . . .

Jamming and being physical with the wide receivers? That's a novel idea-- wonder why other teams never thought of that.

It's not a jest. That's what happened. The Giants game was the one where Solder got 23 snaps in as the 3rd TE.
