The Giants ‘ Justin Tuck has heard this criticism and agree with what has become a negative perception of the League-wide offensive line of the Atlanta Falcons as he prepares to face them on Sunday.
“We know they have a reputation that quote-unquote,” Tuck told reporters Monday according to ESPNNewYork.com. “But in a rather interesting way. Most people, You’re going to call them dirt bag. But it is what it is. We must ensure that we do our jobs and if we do our work properly, then they will be mad and they will try to do things to get us out of our game and we have to take that as a compliment. But in the same sense You have to protect ourselves and hopefully referees have 20-20 vision this week. “
It says Atlanta Falcons offensive line did not have the best reputation around the league would be an understatement.
Beginning this season, several players including the Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji and linebacker A.J. Hawk isn’t happy with what is called Raji “bargains”, such as hitting a player after the whistle, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
“Great Team do not indulge in the kind of stuff cheap Falcons are doing,” Raji to paper. “We won and we played like that. We walked away from the things that they attract. These people are trained to play after the whistle.
