Antonio Cormartie on Tom Brady (1 Viewer)

He does have a point :shrug:

Nobody likes Justin Bieber pointing at your sideline.

Manning would never pull that crap.

Dumb.

NE doesn't need another advantage.

The Jets could have had a potential edge in that in the last meeting NE crushed them. Maybe they'd come in a little overconfident of flat.

Not after all the Jets bigmouths this week.

If history is any guide, this wont bode well for the NYJ.

Reminds me of the chatter prior to Steeler matchups.

I can't recall the last time the Pats were overconfident. BB gets them focused. That wasn't going to happen IMO.Also are we talking the Steeler/Jets matchup? Cause that worked out ok.
 
If there were a Superbowl for which team does the most talking the Jets would win.

It's the ultimate sign of respect for Brady. The Jets and their coach are reduced to calling him names and saying he's not as good as other QB's. Keep it coming Jets.....funny stuff.

Isn't Cromartie the little wuss who was afraid to tackle Shonn Greene in the playoffs last year, which allowed Greene to break off that long TD run, which was integral in the Chargers being upset by the Jets? Yeah, not sure Cromartie should ever be calling anyone out after that disgraceful act.

I agree with this. It really doesn't matter once you are beaten by 40+ points. What are they going to do beat them by 50 this time due to those statements?
 
Once the game starts this stuff really doesn't matter...it is kind of funny that a guy on team that talks more trash than any in the NFL is up so upset that someone pointed a finger at them...

Probably in the SB against the Giants."17 points?"

That's the one that came to mind for me... Maybe the most inflammatory comment I've seen in the past decade from the Patriots. Pretty minor on the scale of smack, but still a bit out of character for the Patriots.

And yet honestly, overconfidence never came to mind to me for that. As a team I think they were very focused and while they didn't win and it was a shock to both us and them - I don't think it was a shock because of overconfidence.
 
The Jets might not beat the Patriots as often as they'd like but they always have the right attitude to do it. They didn't cower to the dynasty, they give em' respect and then say F that we're gonna beat em' anyway. I enjoy it. Few rivalries in sports today yield such great quotes as their rivalry. If you aren't from the east coast NE/NY NJ so called tri-state area. You should make it a mental note to read the Daily News, NY Post and Boston Globe (and ESPNBoston and others) these weeks. It really is oh so predictably entertaining.

I know there are plenty of other rivalries in sports and I don't mean to downplay them at all just to point out that it is definitely worthwhile reading for football fans.

Yes, but the laughter, the demeanor when he said "This offense?" came across as arrogant. Now he had a right to be that way because they were such a superb offense, but they simply didn't back it up in the SB. Not a huge deal but that's the closest I could think of in terms of "overconfident."

That's what I always find funniest about things like this, fans and the media brining up "bulletin board material", as if the players aren't going to try and win in the first place. Is it even possible for Brady to try harder?Sure maybe he'd be more inclined to run up the score if things were already out of hand, but who cares?Do I wish that Cromartie kept him mouth shut? Sure, because it comes across as classes, especially from a player like him. Do I think it's going to make the Patriots play harder? No, I'm pretty sure we were getting their best efforst anyway.
 
I love the swagger of Rex Ryan and the Jets. I love Cormartie talking smack and showing more of that confidence that Ryan projects. Is it classless? sure, especially coming from a guy with 9 kids that are all 2-3 yeras old. But I love the added hype.

 
You listen to Troy Brown, R. Harrison, etc. talk about this, and they do now with the local media because they don't fear BB beating on them, they all say that BB uses this as ammunition.

And that it mattered to them.

In the end, this factor is minimal but it is a factor.

And the Jets don't need to give NE any help.

There is nothing the Jets can gain from this.

I think he might have been referring o 2007 Pitt/NE when anthony smith talked trash before the game and go repeatedly burned for TDs.I could see Revis running his mouth because he can back it up, but Cro was owned by Branch past game and not sure this will help.But as others said it really doesn't matter once the game starts. It might lead to an even more animated Brady after a TD which will fire up the crowed, but that's about the extent of it. And if/when Cro gets burned, he's put a big target on himself so hope he's ready to carry that burden on the road in he heat of battle and doesn't lose confidence.

A lot of players elevate their game even more when they have a chip on their shoulder. Some even search for a reason. If they got passed up in the draft, vs a team that let them go, vs a player that pissed them off. NE will be fired up this weekend, but this is just adding fire to the fire. Good luck Jets.

oh RIGHT Totally forgot about that one.well, Cro had one good game against the Pats, one bad game (andby bad I mean horrifically delicious). This game is a rubber match in more than one way - Jets-Pats series all time is even, season is even, and Cro is even good game vs bad. And I just realized I used rubber and Cro in the same sentence.... :hifive:

Cromartie is an old Charger, he was getting slapped around by Brady long before this year.

“We see that a lot. He does it a lot,” Cromartie said. “That’s the kind of guy he is. We really don’t give a damn, to tell you the truth.”

If he didn't give a damn, he wouldn't be talking about it.

Just read through 7 pages of posts on a Jets board over this - Overwhelmingly Those Jets fans don't like it and overwhelmingly, everyone knows Cromartie is a dumb###.

I don't like it.. Still don't think it matters... Cro is an ### no matter what....

I do think he takes way too much heat for that missed tackle when the whole SD defense got blown away on the play and Green dragged one guy 10 yards - No one pointed a finger at THAT guy?

It wasn't a missed tackle. He didn't even try to make a tackle. He pulled up short because he was afraid of contact! At least the guy that got dragged for 10 yards attempted to tackle him.

Still think it was overblown... The guy that got dragged had no choice, he was bulldozed straight on....If THAT guy was Cromartie then everyone still laughs and points a finger at Cro for being Cro...I think Cro's biggest problem was lack of quick thinking :lmao: Cro was following the guy in motion, was the furthest Charger from the play and passed by 3 Chargers to even get close again.. Merriman was stuck in the mud or something.But, yeah, not a good play.

Cro did a great job shutting down Randy in Week 2, but that is his wheelhouse: defending larger, straight line vertical WRs. Defending smaller guys like Branch and Welker who make quick short cuts is not his forte. In fact, ironically the Jets pass D improved in Week 2 when Revis was out as Cro moved off of Welker (who burned him for an easy TD in the first half) and locked down Moss.BB will never admit it, but I'm sure a lot of moving Moss had to do with counter-acting the strengths of the Jets D.

Moss got shut down by every corner he played this season. Not sure how great a job Cromartie actually did.Brady pointing to the Jets sideline makes him an ###, after all the smack talking the Jets did prior to the game? Wow.

I'm not as keen on Brady in terms of his character as some are. I think he probably gets a pass for being such a good QB and not going over the top to the point that it can't be ignored. But Cromartie is an idiot if he doesn't realize that his coach's and team-mates' actions prior to that game were a direct precursor to Brady's pointing.

Um, Newsflash.... The guy has 14 kids and can't even name them.

There was never a question wether Cromartie was or wasn't bright.... And that's why IMO, you take what he says with a grain of salt.

 
Brady reacts:

Q: Antonio Cromartie called you an [expletive]...

TB: Oh yeah? I've been called worse. I'm sure there's a long list of people who feel that way. But, he's a good player. [Darrelle] Revis is a great player. They have a great secondary and they are the one of the best defenses we face. We're going to spend a lot of time preparing for them...what they're doing over there, the way they shut down the Colts offense is pretty impressive because we know how good that offense is. We're just going to get ready to play.

Cromartie REALLY struggles against the Pats smaller receivers, especially Branch. Like here and here specifically. Cro can cover longer, rangy receivers who aren't physical, but he's so long that he has a lot of trouble with smaller receivers. Combine that with his inability or unwillingness to tackle, and he's more of a liability than an asset against the Pats.

 
I'm gonna laugh when The 3 time Superbowl Champ, NFL MVP, Superbowl MVP, the guy who threw more TDs in any season torches this moron and goes and points his finger to a guy whos been torched all year. What stupid idiotic moron does not know the name of his kids? Sorry, I am sick and tired of the Jets, Cromartie, Rex Ryan, and all the smack talk when they do absolutly nothing year in and year out...what have they won? what have the Pats won?

Jets fans, I laugh at all of them! They would be poppin off if anyone on the Pats was acting as childish as the players and coaches in NY.
 
The comments in the PFT article were awesome. Revis and Butthead, indeed.

Next time Brady points at Cromartie, I wonder which finger he'll be using?

I read the same thing you're :lmao: ing. Think the quotes were Revis, Taylor and someone else, but they basically said they noticed nothing out of the ordinary from Brady. Only Cro, Rex and maybe another Jet were complaining about Brady's on field "antics." I've watched pretty much every one of Brady's games, and the only time I've seen him get all up in someone's face is after throwing a TD vs Pitt in 2007 he jawed with Anthony Smith. (He also got in some guy's face once who he felt threw a late hit on a WR, might have been Pitt too, but that's a different scenario.)Otherwise you just see him pumping his fist or whatever. Typical Favre stuff. Maybe there is more going on the cameras don't catch, but can't imagine CBS/FOX/ESPN would miss a chance to show a slow-mo of Brady sticking it to the other team on the sideline.
