Me-Shawn takes a shot at Rice

[bryan12112]

Well, I know Freeney has respect for Rice, so that Strahan comment is probably just bull****. He doesn't speak for the rest of the DE's in the NFL.

So Peppers is better than Rice, big deal. Peppers is probably better than ANY other DE in the game right now. But wasn't he suspended for taking steroids a while back? He's probably still juicing.

Sorry to say, but Mike Rucker is better than Rice also. Keyshawn wouldve made a bigger splash if he said that. I would probably take Charles Grant and Will Smith over Rice also. If Kerney and Abraham could ever stay healthy Rice would be even further down my list.

I like Rice when hes making plays, but he is nowhere to be seen far more often in the majority of teh last 3 years. 2004 was a mirror image of what hes doing this year, yet he still managed 12 sacks and nobody really acknowledged his disappearing acts. 2005 I thought he stepped his game up big time, and even played the run well. Now he's getting dominated again. I cant remember the last time he squared off against one of teh leagues better Tackles and didnt get dominated.

I don't know many players other than maybe Simeon himself denying this one.  Peppers is of course one of the, if not the, best DEs in the league.

What Meshawn needs, is an introduction to a Jack Tatum like DB.

I said Pep was better than Rice this offseason and some people around here lost it. Glad you guys have seen the light.

Those guys are right about Sim...as much as I hate to say it. No one talks about Spires and he has done squat. White should be playing every down except for a breather. Our ends have not contributed much all year.

[pewtersurf]

huh?  what in the world does your being an appauled black man have to do with that??

It was a quote by Keyshawn, he was appauled as a black man when that black player stepped on that other players head. (forget the game)

The joke is it has nothing to do with being black, but he made it a black issue.

Whether you like Keyshawn or not, the guys is just saying what a lot of people have already said. Rice as always been critisized about being just a pass rusher and not being able to stop the run.

honestly.. Key refeered to himself as Shaq... Saying he was shaq and Smith was Kobe.. He is really full of himself.

Link?

But.. peppers is more of a play maker then rice..

Other than Marvin Harrison, name me one wide out, worth a damn, that isn't...

Torry Holt?  But you are right, great WRs are a different breed, and most of them have an extra helping of ego.

Once upon a time Sapp said "if you don't want them celebrating after they score, then don't let them score"......well, in this case if the defense didn't want to hear Meshawn then they should have shut him down when they played the Punkthers.  They didn't so until they do something about it they will continue to hear from him.

[cheveliar]

I'd agree with Tory, on the outside he comes across smooth and polished.  But I'll bet he has a little smack for you, if you need it...

[Rusty]

Rice deserves all of the disrespect he gets. he is nothing but an individual stat/sacks builder that he typically gets in streaks because he's playing against some fill in 6th rounder. He's piss poor against the run, continuously runs his mouth about his all time greatness and makes a TON of money. I can't wait to see his backside go down the road for a 1/2/3 round draft pick. If you don't agree, what do you think Deacon Jones or Reggie White's opinion of him as a high priced, mouthy DE would be. I think it would be embarrasing, what they would say.

I love what Rice has brought to this team over the years. He was a force and one of the best pass rushing DE's in the game but......his time is over now. Key didn't say anything out of line, just speaking truth. Funny, people get pissed at players for not saying what they really feel but when the player does everyone gets angry......I don't get it.
