Giants' Osi Umenyiora challenges Brown's RB Trent Richardson

The best cliche' to use in this whole battle of the mouths thing with Osi is 'put up or shut up'. Let us see what happens on the field. If the D-line fails to hold Trent Richardson to some meager yardage I think they should all wear t-shirts that say 'T. Rich is my daddy!'

His act is getting real old, real fast . . . .

I would be fired up if i heard this verbatum as a Defensive player, from a rookie no less.
Just saying

Being fired up and being able to silence Richardson on the field are two different things. Are we saying we weren't fired up for the Eagles? McCoy made them look like amateurs in the second half.

When Osi makes a major contribution to manhandling a less talented team like the Browns the way that they should be manhandled, then he can talk as much as he wants!
Until then, he should just zip it, because the Giants track record of playing WAY down to lesser opponents, and allowing marginal QB's to have career days, has been too much the trend for him to say ANYTHING.
There is even less of an excuse for how invisible the Giants pass rush has been, because......... of all the injuries plagueing the Giants, the Defensive Front is intact and more healthy than any other group on the team .
This Defense has got to put an end to heart attack moments and wipe the floor with the Browns....period!

There is ZERO excuse for how invisible the Giants pass rush has been, because of all the injuries plagueing the Giants, the Defensive Front is intact and more healthy than it's ever been 4 weeks into the season.

whatever....just play the game......
he responded to the comment that Richardson said he can get yards on the Giants if he just satys in his lanes and makes strong runs. So Osi said if he sees some candy then he can try and go get it.
Once again this board gets all crazy over the littlest comments....

Osi has to play better of course but what he said is really no big deal....

Wait now he is negatively influencing other players attitudes?? Please provide one, just one example of this. Are you trying to say Osi is the reason Tuck is constantly seen on the sideline sulking like a little girl.

You guys are amazing. Where do your come up with this stuff?

It's a big deal because he's shown us nothing so far.

Its still BS to me. Besides Osi was speaking for the whole D and not just himself. He is teeling Richardson to go for it. Big deal.
Osi not playing well vs the run is not secret so this being a big deal that he is telling TR to go for it is as usual blow WAY out of proportion.

You just made my point. Osi doesn't play well against the run, so why would you bait Trent Richardson? That doesn't make any sense. Regardless of if he was speaking for the whole D, that STILL doesn't make any sense. Justin Tuck is moody, JPP isn't having fun, Bernard is out, our secondary is questionable, and Osi has yet to play up to par. Didn't Osi say he was gonna get 4 sacks last week or something? Sorry, but I disagree with you.
