I have no problem with what Jordan said. I do, however, have a problem with your knee-jerk criticism of a non-issue.

 

Linky no worky

Also, that's pretty weak in the trash talk department. He's saying he doesn't plan on losing...well...duh

 

He is just stating facts and getting into the head of Luck in the process.
JT used to do that all the time with Brady .

 

Isn't that something he said a while back?

Anyways, the kid is a confident mother grabber..lol..

 

Doesn't plan on losing to luck? Cut him. We can't have this kind of attitude around.

 

I don't know. I would have rathered he say it on the field to Luck or maybe after the game when/if we win. Those serve the same purpose, but don't give them any bulletin board material.

 

Here's some trash talk: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...9ers-anthony-dixon-rips-into-seattle-shehawks

"she-hawks vs forty-whiners" :lol:

 

I'm sure that Luck can look at last weeks' film and decide how worried he should be about Jordan. IMO, Jordan needs to worry more about Jordan and less about everyone else at this point. After a few consistent games, if he wants to talk...great...

 

None of that kaepernick bs. Tough guy takes to twitter after his team beats the packers. If you aren't man enough to say it before the game, don't say it at all.

Course, this better mean we see a lot more dion Jordan this week.

 

people get so wrapped up in the mantra of trash talk is bad that everything besides the patriots patented "they are a great team" becomes trash talk. Its redonkeylious

 

Jesus guys. This is still football right? Not pillow fights?!

If we lose because Dion said this...our team sucks and Luck is a joke for needing that motivation to succeed. I can assure you, neither are the answer you're looking for.

 

I would like the stat geeks to put their time to good use and do a study of wins and losses by the team that give bulletin board material to the other team

Here is the quote. I mean this is borderline hate-speech:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap10...n-jordan-i-dont-plan-on-losing-to-andrew-luck

 

"Bulletin board material" is one of the most overrated things out there. As if Luck was only going to half *** it out there but now he's going to take Sunday's game seriously.... How dare an opponent have the intention of beating them? It's not as if he said, "Luck sucks and his mama's ugly!"

 

Well if Indy wasn't going to try to win on Sunday, they certainly might try harder NOW :rolleyes:

 

Dion was very effective in his limited reps against the browns..very pleased after isolating his reps..He beat joe Thomas on wakes sack where Wake destroyed the running back trying to block him, if wake doesn't get there, Dion split joe Thomas and the guard comin in for the double team, he would of finished the QB.

 

I don't see it. Last year a man they cared about was fighting cancer. That produces intense and genuine emotion. Twisting some quote around in an attempt to make yourself feel disrespected does not.

 

When your protection plan is to have a RB block Wake you've failed miserably. I couldn't believe what I saw on that play and I know Wake must have felt like Christmas just came early when he saw that post snap.

 

Sure, but Dion did his thing on the other side as well..

 

Here are other things he said about Luck on the Finsiders:

- Luck is a great QB
- He's made a lot of plays, especially last year as a rookie
- He does a good job of making people miss in the pocket
- In college, hes already at the professional mindset
- He controlled his team
- His guys looked up to and followed him because he had that type of insight

Yeah, Dion, you should stop with all that disrespect:pity:

 

Good, they'll need him this week. We know what Luck can do when you think you've got him....

 

This doesn't bother me at all. It wasn't disrespectful or classless and if Luck wasn't self-motivated then this statement isn't going to make a difference. And if he is already motivated it isn't going to make a difference.

 

I guess Luck won't pin that up on his bulletin board when he's manufacturing disrespect to motivate him at game time....

 

Make me sick to my stomach that's for sure, I've never been so frustrated from a QB than last year watching what he did to us..he was brilliant..

 

part of The luck package..he doesn't listen to this media crap, he's smart enough to know that Dion respects him.

 

Welcome to the Miami Dolphins....where any display of confidence before you put on a gold jacket is brash trash talk.

 

That IS NOT running his mouth

 

OMG a player believes he can win a game and wants to win the game. The horror!

 

This just in: Omar reporting that Jordan was overheard saying that he believes Luck's "father smelt of elderberries" and something about a hamster mother, and farting in his general direction. Philbin is losing control of the locker room.

/s :)

 

1) I like CantinaJack, he made me laugh in abother thread this week. I forget how (alzheimers at an early age, I guess)
2) I see his point, though I don;t agree with him. In some places, like New England, you don't say anything at all that an opponent could use.
3) I think this is heavily mitigated by the fact that Dion faced Luck in collegee and Luck lost (more than once)
4) We complain about lack of national attention for this team. Well, this is part of why some teams are more talked about in the media. Their players express confrontational bravado by throwing down the gauntlet to hype a contest. Muhammad Ali practically mastered this and no one got more buzz of hype than him. It's actually a staple of fight promotion in boxing. From that standpoint, it helps.
5) Have we considered that this may be helping *Jordan* feel more motivated? If so, it's a good thing.

 

If Luck needs to make more of the statement than what's there to get himself motivated he ought to find himself another line of work.

This really isn't bulletin board material. It doesn't intend to question a player's ability to perform his job.
