Lubeck Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 They didn't seem particularly impressed by Manning or the Giants' offense. ''He made little, annoying third-down conversions when he needed to,'' linebacker Barrett Ruud said. ''If it is third-and-8, he gets 8 1/2 yards. That was frustrating.'' I don't want to read too much into these sorts of things, especially since the only quote they gave to back up their assertion wasn't that bad, but I don't know how they couldn't be impressed. Over 100 yards rushing, efficient passing, chewing up the clock, and most importantly winning....how can't you be impressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Funny. That's been the Bucs offense for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I wouldn't read too much into a rookie's post-defeat comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 I wouldn't read too much into a rookie's post-defeat comments. I wouldn't either, check his bio. 3 years, not 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I bet if Jeff Garcia needed 7 yards and got 7.0000001 yards, Barrett would find that just as annoying. What a dumb comment, you got beat, deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dumb comment, you got beat, deal with it. Thats what I was thinking. To Barrett Ruud: "listen dummy, in case you didnt know this, if 8 yds is needed for a 1st down, then 8 yds is all you need. Getting that extra half yd is just a bonus." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 100 yards rushing, efficient passing, chewing up the clock, and most importantly winning....how can't you be impressed? When they start at their own 8 yard line and use up 7 minutes of clock and score a TD in the fourth...I bet that is downright irritating ...huh? All three scores happened in the middle of the field....correct me if I am wrong...isn't this guy the MLB? LOL....what a Cornhusker. C.

I read this today in the paper And I let out a snicker and a Ahhhhhh its about time because how many games has that happened to us 3rd and 12 and the other team gets 15 yards we have been frustrated by that for a long time Mr. Ruud so much so as that it is almost always expected. But you know what? it was nice to see that shoe on the other foot for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 And the only annoying first down by inches I remember is the one Hilliard caught. What's he talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow, I swore he was a rookie, had him on my fantasy team this year. Same here, I swear one of the announcers called him a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a dumb comment, you got beat, deal with it. And you know what after the game....Garcia was very classy in saying that the Giants completely wasted him and threw him off of his rhythm early. He said it was an excellent game plan and it obviously worked in terms of hammering him and pressing his receivers (e.g. Galloway). A mark of gracious opponent is how gracious they are in defeat. And to my surprise Garcia passes that test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 hahhaa, coming from a 9-7 team that wasn't all that good to begin with...put them in our division and they don't even make the playoffs, let alone win a division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueInCanada Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Barrett Ruud.......who? Seriously this coming from a no name LB, maybe from Brooks or Ronde who are actually ProBowlers I would respect their opinion. But a no name LB who played like crap in the game is worthless.
