T-Rock's Take on the Giants

Antonio Pierce, who did not practice today, just talked and didn't seem very worried about his quad injury. Tom Coughlin said he expects the middle linebacker will work tomorrow and Pierce left little doubt in his chat with reporters when he was asked if the injury would keep him from playing against the Browns.

"No, not at all," he said. "I'll be there Monday night, 8:30. You'll see me. ... I'll never miss a game unless I'm on IR. I'll be there."

Pierce can't even remember specifically when he got injured.

"A lot of times when you get hurt, you were running," Pierce said. "We play a game where you've got to run a lot. It's football, man. If I didn't get hurt, ya'll would probably question what I was doing out there for 60 minutes. Things happen. I'm just excited to get out there come Monday with the boys."

Pierce also weighed in on the bulletin board material Browns defensive tackle Corey Williams provided by saying he's going to come out and "hit [Brandon Jacobs] in the mouth" and saying "there ain't nothing physical" about the Giants' O-Line.

"There's always going to somebody taking shots at somebody," Pierce said. "At least you know we're being looked at and they are taking notice of us. Hats off to them. What else would you do if you were 1-3? You've got to do something to fire up you're team. I don't knock the guys for doing what they are doing. It's no different than what I did last year and other guys on this team did when we were down. They are doing whatever they need to do to rally their troops and get their home stadium fired up for Monday Night Football. So it's going to be fun at the Dog Pound."

"It's the same thing that we hear from the media, so it's just like they are a part of the media as well," Pierce continued before dipping into his Charlie Brown vocabulary. "Just womp, womp, womp, womp, womp."
