Antonio Pierce decided it was a good time for an analysis of Tom Brady.
"He walks around like he's Prince Charles, like he's the golden boy," Pierce said.
And why is that? Pierce believes Brady looks indignant on the rare occasions when a defensive player has the audacity to lay his mitts on him. "I mean, watching on film when Philly was hitting him, the guy looks at them like, 'Wow, I got touched by the defense.' He doesn't get hit often, Pierce said. "And he walks with an arrogance. The guy hasn't gotten touched so he has no reason to fear anything."
Pierce and the Giants want to change that. They want to put the prince on his back.
The Giants lead the NFL with 52 sacks. They are the only team with three players in the top 20 in that category: Osi Umenyiora (13), Justin Tuck (10) and Michael Strahan (9). The Patriots have allowed Brady to be sacked just 20 times, fifth-fewest in the league. The Giants are accustomed to getting in the quarterback's face and Brady has been operating in a clean pocket.
