Guest MontyPython Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 After watching the NFL channels replay of the NYG's vs Colts, it appears to me that Pierce expended energy running around behind the D-line, trying to get into P mannings head. unfortunately, he was a step or 2 behind Dallas Clark on most of his catches. Anyone else think Pierce "out thunk" himself with those antics? granted, he had 11 tackles....but what good are those if the TE/WR/RB caught the ball and got a first down? also, Lavar seemed to be a few steps behind every play. rust or awareness? or both? any thoughts on this?

mws44 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 AP wasn't trying to get into PM head, his job is to listen to what PM is checking to, if anything, and adjust the D accordingly. He does it to every QB, it just happens 100 time more against PM. He had to move right up to the line to hear PM, because the stadium was loud Sunday night. It sucks that might take him out of position every once in a while, but thats his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium was not loud the whole game. i was there, and in person we were all asking each other "what the hell is he doing, and....what is lavar doing?".... even during quiet moments, AP was nearly offside and pointing at Manning, then running backwards and being fooled. and you know what? it was a silent snap count the Colts used, so hearing is mute? no pun intended...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the stadium may not have been loud the entire game, but it still can't be easy to hear when you are on a field surrounded by 78,000 people.

gateb Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Actually, I thought at the game that AP was yelling at Peyton and the rest of the line to mess them up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so-cal dub Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 He was jamming Peytons calls also. Trying to throw off the Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MontyPython Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 He was jamming Peytons calls also. Trying to throw off the Offense. it didn't work too well then, did it? espc on 3rd down... yea, in the stadium near me we were liking his antics in the beginning of the game....but it got old after a while, espc when P manning hit those 3rd down plays. I love Pierce, his tenacity and attitude...I just thought he put himself behind the 8-ball a few times with his historantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Maybe he was reading the plays right, but Peyton is so bad ass, hed just check down. Looked like he checked down alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantsFanInFL Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 He has said before that in order to get everyone else in their right position he is caught out of position sometimes. He said that he talked with Carson about this and they both play(ed) like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JACKSTROUD7 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Pierce may well be the most over-rated player to ever put on a Giants uniform He's not an impact player, and he fails miserably in pass coverage.......... and the one thing a MLB must do to an offense- strike fear in them no one is afraid of being hit by Antonio Pierce think of all the grat MLBs- Huff, Singletary, Butkus, Carson, Nitscke, Lambert etc etc.......all had one thing in common......they were mean, and they hit like a ton of bricks......they were also very mobile, and athletic if they could not hit hard.......they had the speed to chase down anyone in the lOS area I watched a film clip of Pierce trying to cover a TE recently in a practice.........he looked totally overmatched, and stiff........no real athleticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JACKSTROUD7 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Jeb Putzier is afraid of being hit by Antonio Pierce. No doubt......but I think you get my point. This guy plays MLB like Jason Sehorn played CB......after his KO return I am so sick of hearing how great he is......how irreplaceable he is what rubbish Sorry........ the king has no clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
