At a rally at Cowboys stadium, aka “Jerry World,” owner Jerry Jones announced the Dallas Cowboys would beat the Giants’ you-know-what when they traveled to Big D in October. And now, according to ESPN.com, defensive captain Justin Tuck has a message for Jones.
“I don’t play Jerry,” Tuck said. “If he wants to put on a jersey and line up, I’ll welcome that. But I don’t think Jerry is going to be doing any kicking of my posterior.”
The Giants lost the season opener to Dallas at Met-Life stadium back in September, and Tuck is aware the Cowboys played a better game.
“We didn’t’ play our best ball obviously, but they have a lot to do with that,” Tuck said. “They played pretty good. They skinned us pretty good.”
The Cowboys lost tackling specialist Sean Lee to ligament damage he suffered in his right big toe against the Carolina Panthers last weekend. But Justin Tuck is not sympathetic to injuries and is aware of the next man up policy in the NFL.
“I am not going to feel sorry for them if that’s where you’re going with that,” Tuck continued. “Nobody in this league cares who is hurt. Like I said, when one of our guys goes down we expect that next guy to go in and fill it in. A prime example, Stevie Brown. He came in and made plays. I am sure down there they have guys licking their chops to get the opportunity to play against us.”
The Giants will take on the Cowboys at 4:25 on Sunday in a pivotal NFC east division game.
