| Giants OG Chris Snee Says Next Time Buccaneers Will Get Knees To The Head | | |
On Tuesday, the Giants were still fuming about the final play of Sunday’s 41-34 win over Tampa Bay, when Bucs coach Greg Schiano ordered his team to bull rush the Giants as Eli Manning prepared to take a kneeldown, Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News reports, but Tuck wasn’t just upset at Schiano. He wished the Bucs players, who claimed they were following coach’s orders, had more backbone.
“If Perry Fewell told me to dive at a guy’s knee, when we were losing, I would say ‘No,’” Tuck said. “And that is just a man on man talking.”
Tuck said Tampa’s move was a “classless play,” especially because of how Tampa handled things earlier. For all Schiano’s tough talk of playing until the very last whistle, the Bucs allowed Andre Brown waltz into the end zone untouched with 31 seconds to play, an attempt to get one more possession and Schiano didn’t call an aggressive rush when a trailing Giants team kneeled before halftime.
“I have been in the league for eight years, and that is the first time that I’ve seen that,” Tuck said.
Not that the Giants will be caught off-guard again, warned lineman Chris Snee. “We’ll just tighten up and just be ready for them to fire off,” Snee said. “And I wouldn’t change my reaction in any way. If a guy dives at my knees, my knee is going into the back of his head. That’s what happened in the game, and that’s what will happen going forward.”
