Two Giants rip Herremans for 'dirty' plays
Daily News staff
Add another element to the Eagles-Giants rivalry ...
Giants defensive tackle Chris Canty and offensive lineman David Diehl ripped Eagles guard Todd Herremans for the two plays on which Herremans was penalized during Sunday night's game. Both termed the two hits "dirty."
“Two of them. Same guy,” Canty told the Newark Star-Ledger. “When you talk about players doing that to one another ... playing hard, playing between the whistles is one thing. But that was a dirty play. I think we all can agree on that.”
Herremans was called for tripping on the first one, although it looked more like a clip when he dove at Canty's legs from behind. The second was called a chop block because Canty was engaged with center Mike McGlynn. Herremans could face a fine, when the league issues its weekly penalties Friday.
“In a league where we’re trying to crack down on defenseless players and things of that nature, that can’t be allowed,” Canty said. You’re talking about defensive players taking shots on quarterbacks and wide receivers, well the league has to protect defensive players as well.
“That kind of behavior, it’s either taught or it’s allowed. Either way, it has no place in our game.”
Diehl, watching the game on TV, because he was injured, also was not happy with the plays.
“I don’t play that way. I never have,” Diehl said. “There’s a difference between cutting somebody and cutting somebody from behind late like that and going after somebody’s legs. I think it was a dirty shot. If you’re out in the open and cut somebody from the front, that’s legal, when you see them coming. But when their back’s to you, we all know that’s blatant.”
As for what this all means for the next time the two teams play, Dec. 19, at the Meadowlands ...
“We all reap what we sow,” Canty said. “We all reap what we sow.”

Here is a stat to keep in mind heading into this weekend's game against Chicago: The Bears have only allowed six touchdown passes all season.
"The key is to not let anything behind us," safety Chris Harris told the Chicago Tribune. "The key is linebackers making sure they're getting their depth to get up under those routes and the safeties putting the roof over the top.
"We definitely have to be aware of those receivers, especially Jackson because he's one of the fastest in the league. And we definitely have to stay deep; deeper than we have in previous games. We have to be deep and not bite on any pump fakes or anything of that nature as Vick gets to scrambling."

andfralec, go get hit by a bus. Bring your jibberish to a giants website, no one here wants to hear your nonsense— jayw66- How many more flags could an away team get? I mean "Come On you freaking Cry Babies". for one if the Eagles get as many calls as the giants this game is a blow out! The Giants get as many calls as the Patriots, Cowboys, and steelers. which is to say more than any other team in the league and they basically get home town calls on the road and when they are home it so hard to beat them because they are Mr. Goddells highest earners and thus get a lot of favors from the magical flying zebras.— Atlas
- Typical whinning from New Yorkers..... after all the pre-game rhetoric about laying wood and hurting five Quarterbacks. The Giants and what used to be the Best NFL Defense is crying after getting gashed for a 4 piece by the Eagles and a total collapse, allowing 11 unanswered points in the 4th Quarter. I think I seen my auntie running an open route through the Giants secondary. Frauds— Dexter
Andfralec, you're right, the Giants were a good team three years ago.- @andfralec
how many titles have your titles won? are they weighing the giants down? is that why they are butthurt and have lost to the Eagles 5(soon to be 6) straight times? titles are only an argument when the current incarnation of the team isn't as good as who you are arguing against— Iggles21 - "andfralec" - why don't you try to imitate what Asante Samuel did and see how he could have lead with the helmet. Running up, turning sideways to lead with the right shoulder, now try to get your helmet involved first. Unless you are a giraffe, it ain't happenin'.
The helmets conked together when the Giant's helmet went forward from getting blasted in the chest with a shoulder.

also to infer that Asante(of all people) would intentionally lead with his head against a guy who has probably 35 lbs on him just proves you are an idiot.— Iggles21 - Like beefbr says, the chop block call was weak. The guy was barely engaged with McGlynn. The other penalty could be called dirty. And like boasocal says, the Giants should talk to their defensive line if they want to talk about trying to injure people.— tacklinjoe
The Giants are going into the tank.— gho_matt- Rooster- hahaha - va-giants
Comment removed.- Seriously? Stop being so stupid. Asante Samuel goes after guys' heads when they aren't looking and their knees when they are. To deny it is just foolish. Andrews got away with a ton of holding calls, but to put his holds in the same category as diving at the back of a guy's knee is weak.
- Andfralec - Thanks for reading the Philly newspapers, obviously you want to read about winning teams. Enjoy the perennial offseasons of the Mets and Giants you loser.— Phillies1120

- andfralec is too ashamed to post on a NY news website so he comes to philly.com to cry about how his giants are in second place. Whaaaaa— the sichee-ation
