Santonio Holmes

The NFL has been reminding all players to be respectful in their comments toward each other. But Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor may not have received the memo.

Uh-Oh. Ike got goaded. Damnit.

[The Duke]

So “I’m not going to hesitate to lay him out,” becomes "I’ll lay him out"

PFT would do anything for a headline :coffee:

Go for it Ike, just do it legally.

[X-Terminator]

Goaded into what? He simply said once they get between the lines, there are no friends, and he won't let up on him. And that's how it should be, especially in a game of this magnitude. You don't think Smokey wants to burn Ike for a long TD? And he's right - if given the chance, Smokey would lay him out. It's all about the Lombardi, boys. Everyone in a green jersey is your enemy.

I was hoping there would be no talk from us.

Same here, because you know jackasses like Florio and his ilk will not only run with it but blow it completely out of proportion. Even in this article, Ike's words were twisted into "I'm going to try to intentionally hurt Holmes." I frigging hate the media.

I wish he would keep his mouth shut. Not that he said anything out of line, but we already have a bulls eye on our backs for making OWies on the football field. :binky:

Last thing we need are the refs watching us even closer and throwing any personal foul or un-necessary roughness flags.

Ike T Swagga University.

ef the Jets...what? are they too good to talk smack to?

Honestly, in the context it was offered in, I don't think Ike said anything out of line.

But I'll tell you this, I hope Tomlin had a heart to heart with Ike over that head butt he got away with last week. That really pissed me off, because not only was it thuggish ( I love hard nose defense, not thuggish) but it also should have drawn a 15 yard penalty, and it also could have got his selfish ass tossed as well. Maybe I'd let it go, if this weren't about the 3rd time in the past two seasons that Ike pulled that kind of shit, but it's getting to be habit, and if he gets tossed for some silly shit like that our chances of winning drop greatly.

I think the proper response from Taylor would have been something like "sorry coach...but it was TJ Houshmanzada after all."

Yeah Dino, that's great, but if he draws the flag, ( which he should have) or gets tossed, where does that leave the team? And again, I would have just wrote it off as one of those things, but Ike's done that too many times to just brush it off anymore. Particuarly in a playoff game you can't pull that cheap crap.

btw did anyone notice Pouncey jump in and pull Flozell off a Raven right before that situation escalated? That's the way you're supposed to do it in the postseason.

Good for Ike. Why be a pussy and back off. This is for a trip to the biggest game of the year, for all the marbles and when Ike has Santo in his sights he is going to do whatever it takes to get the ball away from Santo and if that means laying his sorry ass out good for you Ike!

I said it before....our secondary won't hesitate.

Sandoobio better bring his "A" game, because he's just another Jet.

[HometownGal]

I love ya Ike, but shut up. Do your talkin' on the field. Period.

This Ike Taylor couldn’t even layout Tina Turner! Ike buddy, your mediocre at best.

Well - doesn't this one win the football intellect of the year award? Hey poo-poo - where's your Pats this weekend? :upyours: :lol:
