Antrel Rolle Needs To Stop Speaking

ESPN - Don't tell Antrel Rolle that the Washington Redskins and Rex Grossman might be better than expected this season. And certainly do not tell him that the Redskins are better than the Giants.

"As a team and organization, we know that the Washington Redskins is not a better team than us,” Rolle said in his weekly spot on WFAN radio. “We know that hands down. If we played them 100 times, they might win five. They won that day. It never leaves a good taste in your mouth when you lose to an opponent that you know you are better than.”

When asked by WFAN hosts Joe and Evan if he was impressed by Grossman or thought the Redskins were better than he thought, Rolle replied, “No, not at all.”

“We’ll definitely prove that next time around,” Rolle said. “He is going to feel the Giants come the next time around. We will take care of that when the time comes.”

Rolle finished with six tackles but was flagged for a costly 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty in the fourth quarter after the Giants defense should have gotten a stop. On a 3rd-and-9 at the Washington 45, Grossman hit tight end Fred Davis for a seven-yard gain but Rolle’s penalty gave the Redskins a first down at the Giants’ 33 before they eventually scored to make it a 14-point lead with 5:04 remaining.

Can someone please tell this clown to shut his mouth? This guy talks way too much and it needs to stop. Listen when Rex Grossman shoves the ball down your throat for over 300 yards, stick your fucking tail between your legs and go home and shut up. Like damn, how about being humble? "Redskins is not a better team than us"??!?! If you're gonna speak learn how to do it! Holy shit, this guy is so embarrassing. I'm a Giants fan for life and someone who couldn't believe in this team any more than I do. But with guys like this on the team, it worries me. Confident is one thing, but delusional is another. This guy is the ladder. Since he's been on the team all he's done is talk.

Awesome penalty by the way, only happened in the 4th quarter on an extremely important 3rd and 9 when a stop would've given you the ball back and a chance to still win the game. That penalty literally lost the game for the Giants, but I guess it's okay since 95 out of 100 times you'd beat the team that just smoked your ass.

Without Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, Terrell Thomas and Jonathan Goff - this defense fucking sucks. There's no getting around that. I think they'll have a couple decent games once they get their two Pro-Bowl DE's back, but the secondary is an absolute joke.

Is Rex Grossman on Drugs?

Link from NFC East blogger Dan Graziano over on ESPN.com:

"Rex Grossman isn't even guaranteed the starting quarterback's job for the Redskins, but he still believes the team is capable of big things. He tells CSN Washington, "This offense, from top to bottom, is better than the offense I had in Chicago," the year he and the Bears went to the Super Bowl, and, "I know we're going to be a good team. We don't need people saying we're the best right now, but when all is said and done, I really feel we're going to win the East." So that's Rex's prediction, folks. Do with it what you will."

Is this guy kidding me? He's barely got a shot to be the backup quarterback and he's popping off at the mouth in the toughest division in football?? Okay the Giants and Cowboys are being overlooked while the Eagles sign every Pro-Bowler in the NFL, but trust me the Redskins are not. They're picked dead last in ever preseason ranking I've seen and that's exactly where they should be. Guess what Rex, that Bears offense didn't get you to the Super Bowl - the defense carried that team, all you had to do was sit on the ball and wait for Devin Hester to return a couple punts to put some points on the board. Some balls for a guy that hasn't seen the field since he lost the Super Bowl for his team throwing INT's all over the place like they were a good thing or something. I'll give the Redskins defense some credit with some decent pickups and a solid LB core, but what is this guy smoking about their offense being talented?? Oh yeah huge pick up with that Donte Stallworth signing, immense talent - if getting high and drunk and running people over is a talent you need to dominate on offense. I think the Redskins signed about 34 wide receivers post-lockout, not one of them being a difference maker on an NFL roster. Weak offensive line, weak WR's, inconsistent TE and another platoon of RB's. Sounds like a division winner.
