"the numbers speak for themselves" is about as benign as you can get for a quote. What was he supposed to say "those guys are really good?" They aren't.
Vernon instead and gotten the same return. I'm too lazy (and high) to see if it would have worked salary cap wise. But I respect JPP; he was one of my favorite players, not only for what he overcame (I know it was self inflicted but even so) but also for what he did for the New York Giants.
We don't even make the playoffs in 2011 without him: 93 tackles, 16.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles. 1 safety, 7 pass defenses. And unless I'm drunk, he blocked the potential game tying field goal in Dallas which if good could have virtually eliminated us from the playoffs.
JPPs career I really thought he was gonna be an incredible player for us. He just never was able to sustain the talent he showed early. I don’t miss him
It's funny because on paper JPP and Justin Tuck have nearly indentical productivity in their careers, with Tuck playing a full season's worth more games.
I mean JPP is 4 passes defended behind Jason Sehorn in team history.
People point to 11, but his awesome 14 was lost in the suck. 12.5 sacks and 21 TOLs.
Tuck obviously has the 2 rings, and had far fewer off-the-field stuff, but goes to show what perception and how good of a team you are on does.
You may want to look up what that means. Not close.
He was outstanding in 2012 too. His QB pressure % was higher than 2011. He just didn’t get the sack numbers but he was outstanding vs pass and run in 2012.
“It’s a great organization,” Pierre-Paul said of the franchise that drafted him in 2010. “I have nothing bad to say about it. The owners there, the Maras, (chairman Steve) Tisch … I loved it there for the years I was there. They took great care of me.”
to be fair he didn't have enough fingers to count
that between JPP Okwara snd Kennard they have 23 sacks .
I think they should have let Vernon go but likely a cap
problem. Whats the over and under on JPP sacks coming back
home ?
Oh wait......
A little sugar coating by the management that let you go and a little comfort from the guys you worked with means a lot.

Huh? He wasnt cut....he was traded and is still making millions. He was also kind of an asshole towards the end of last season

2011 was awesome as this guy was friggin' everywhere on defense (and some special teams).
but alas, that seems like a century ago...
As other have said above, if that's trash talking, the bar for trash talking is set extremely low.
