And that really stupid thing he does with Alex Smith before each game is so lame.



"Okay son, now go out there and manage that game!"

"You got it, Dad".

that s### is the lamest thing I've ever seen. This is a grown man's game, not your 10 year old son's little league game... I bet Alex Smith gets embarrassed by that thing, or at least I hope so, I know I would.

Can you imagine if Coughlin pampered Eli like that, that would be beyond embarrassing and pathetic.

Way to go KG; excite a player whose task is to sack our most valuble player in Eli.

Since when has KG been so outspoken since being here?

They are all already excited to get a rematch against us. Players and coaches fabricate enough stuff about opposing teams to motivate themselves. I doubt these quotes fuel the fire much.

"Incendiary" - ooooook Jimmy

I think the Giants' coaches know he's easy to get riled up.

Excerpt: "In a statement released by the team Friday, Harbaugh said, "Kevin Gilbride's outrageous, irrational statement regarding Justin Smith's play is, first, an absurd analogy.

"Second, it is an incendiary comment targeting one of the truly exemplary players in this league. It's obvious that the Giants coaching staff's sole purpose is to use their high visibility to both criticize and influence officiating."

Gilbride made his original comment Thursday after he was asked about why San Francisco's front seven is so tough.

"Ability. That's it. They have great players," Gilbride said. "They're tremendous, they're tough. They have great speed on the outside, (Justin) Smith is a beast on the inside -- he's strong, he does as good a job (as anybody) of grabbing a hold of offensive linemen and allowing those twists to take place. He never gets called for it, so he gets away with murder." Read more...

"Smith is a beast on the inside, he’s strong, he does as good a job of grabbing a hold of offensive linemen and allowing those twists to take place. He never gets called for it so he gets away with murder. That, in conjunction with the ability level they have, makes them as formidable as anybody we go against, and we go against some pretty good ones in Dallas’ and Philadelphia’s. They’re as good as anybody up front."

I don't watch enough 49er games to know, but how true is this? Anyone have videos of this?

I'll be watching for it on Sunday.

Graziano at ESPN went and found this nice piece that backs up Gilbrides statement written Sept 6

Thanks. Does any video exist of him getting away with a hold? He probably does it once in a while.

Exactly... Anything with even a tiny bit of heat is incendiary in that powder keg...

I'm thinking about mixing in a little more Exorcist to make it less offensive to young eyes...
