Jetman55 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Jets safety says prepping for Brady is like prepping for, yes, Cousins http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/22/jets-safety-says-prepping-for-brady-is-like-prepping-for-yes-cousins/ Posted by Mike Florio on October 22, 2015, 8:58 PM EDT APIf the ill-advised decision of whoever works for (or used to work for) the Patriots to commemorate the butt fumble on #ThrowbackThursday resonated with the Jets, it’s been more than balanced out by the boastful comments of Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson — and by the inexplicable observations of Jets safety Marcus Gilchrist. “You prepare [for Tom Brady] the same way you prepare for Kirk Cousins,” Gilchrist told USA Today on Thursday. Wait, the Jets prepare for Brady the same way the prepared for Kirk Freaking Cousins? “You don’t change,” Gilchrist said. “It’s like turning the light switch on and off because it’s a different person. Kirk Cousins could have easily come out there [last week] and we could’ve not played sound football and not been where we were supposed to be and he could’ve looked the same way [as Brady]. “We can’t allow one game to be bigger than the other. Do we realize the type of player we’re playing against? Yes, we do. But you don’t change. We’ve got to be 1-0 this week, regardless of who it is – Brady – regardless of who we’re playing.” Gilchrist insisted he’s not disparaging anyone, but it’s hard to see the comments as anything other than a slap at Brady, who has more talent in his gall bladder than Cousins has in his entire body. Regardless of what Gilchrist meant, his words give Brady even more fuel for a fire that already has been raging all season long, thanks to #DeflateGate.

KRL Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 So stupid!!! The media is dying that Ryan and his mouth are no longer in NY. To be successful week to week in the NFL you better prepare for EVERYONE the same way. If you prepare "harder" for one QB over another, the "lesser" QB will beat you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 LOL at that headline what a bunch of morons. This is why I was happy to see all those Daily News guys get fired. They all lack integrity these days. When i was younger I used to love reading the newspapers because the articles seemed to be always have a positive spin or sound analysis, now they spin every story into a controversy.

drdetroit Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 That's what good teams and players do you should treat every game the same way.

FidelioJet Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 This is one of the more egregious headlines and manipulation of context. Not by far the worst, but entirely unprofessional. Everyone should simply stop reading these...As if Mike Florio has more knowledge. Gilcrest said nothing at all wrong...he's completely and 100% correct. While Sheldon's comments were also taken out of context (not nearly as bad) but he should shut the F up anyway. I wish these guys would simply stop talking to the media. Don't give them anything...

shuler82 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 not just the headline.. the entire article is trash. it's from Florio, so what else would you expect? I mean.. twisting Gilcrest's words that you have to be even keeled and prepare for every opponent the same way week to week - from Cousins last to Brady this week- as some sort of slap in the face to Brady? yawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The thing that's most comical about this is Gilchrist gave the perfect answer, and the exact kind of thing that clearly goes right along with the mindset of Bowles. It's one thing to desperately grasp at straws to make a big deal out of it when there's something slightly bad said, but this is nothing more than Gilchrist toeing the company line. The point actually being made here is that you never underestimate anyone, so always have to prepare for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Leprechaun Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 My eyes almost just rolled out of my head reading this. Florio truly is a moron. Agreed. Talk about trying desperately to turn a reasonable comment into bulletin board flaming. Florio should simply ask himself... how would Gilchrist change his practice methods because he's facing Tom Brady? What does Florio actually want him to do? It's just idiotic.

It says one thing that this is the kind of thing people have to resort to when they lack the talent, ability and discipline to do their job with a decent level of quality. It says something else entirely that this tactic actually "works". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
