Kenny Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 It's funny how everyone talks about Pierce and him looking for revenge against his former team, but what about on our side with Cornelius Griffin? Cornelius Griffin was considered an underachiever in NY and there weren't many nice things said about him. People thought we were crazy to offer him the contract he has. Now Joe Gibbs calls him one of if not the best d linemen he's ever coached. Ya think the Giants wish they had him back to help improve their 31st ranked defense? I would say Mr. Griffin will be extremely motivated(he always is) but even moreso for this game. I would say one of the leaders of the 4th ranked D has a better chance of "haunting" his former team than a member of the 31st ranked D. Yet, nobody mentions Griffin in the media this week. It's all about how stupid we were to let AP go, when in reality AP was just a big baby who took his ball and went to NY b/c he got slightly less than he wanted from the franchise that gave him a chance when no one else did! eff HIM! And eff the media too for the blatant double standard against the Skins in regards to not mentioning Griffin. HTTR!! :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~.~KWIZZLE~.~ Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 As of now, he is listed as probable but we all know he will be ready to play against his former team. He will put a end to all of the non-believers in NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Good point. I think the issue is that Griffin never played for Coughlin, so it's not like a revenge game for him. He left as a free agent. He doesn't really have any insight into their plans. It's more like a homecoming. Pierce not only played for the Skins, he excelled in Williams system and can provide insight into how the Skins plan to play. He also was allowed to leave and feels that the Skins slighted him by not keeping him. I don't think anyone is overlooking Griffin -- it's just that he's in a very different situation than Pierce.

InGibbsITrust Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 great, great point. and furthermore griffin is twice the player pierce is. Why doesn't sally jenkins write columns on griffin rather then pierce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 there is no glory in the obvious. The fact that there haven't been extensive write-ups about Griffin facing his old team, and the grudge he carries, blah blah blah... in a way, is a compliment. ........

Brother Redskin Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I was thinking the same thing while reading countless AP articles. I'm guessing because he already played them twice as a skin, and we didn't hear much about it last year cause neither of us were that good. Pierce to the gints is just newer than griff to the skins.

H-O-G Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 What did we give for him? or was he a free agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 It may also be that Griffin isn't running his mouth to every press person he can find about his bitterness the way Pierce is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlobberKnockinFootball Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 It's not juicy enough for one reason only. Griffin does his talking from his work on the football field and not in the press. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Kao Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 We don't hear anything about Griffen because he has the good sense to keep his mouth shut. There's that saying about writing checks with your mouth that you can't cash....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
