You know, there are just some people in sports who should never open their mouth. Case in point, meet Igor Olshansky, a defensive end from Oregon. In his 4-year career Olshansky has never made more than 49 tackles in a season and his highest sack total is 3.5. Yet, following the Chargers win over the Colts this past Sunday, Olshansky started trash talking like an all-pro. In a locker room interview when asked about the Patriots, Olshansky stated that "they (the Patriots) are more worried than we are" and that "they know what's up."
Igor...are you serious? First of all, this is a team in the Patriots that kicked your butt in week 2 38-14. Tom Brady was 25 of 31 for 279 yards and 3 TD, two of them to Randy Moss. While your boy Philip Rivers was 19 of 30 for 179 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs. Your biggest weapon LT? 18 carries, 43 yards. The game was over after the first New England drive. Let me tell you something, the only way your Chargers have ANY shot in beating New England is if the Patriots oversleep and can't get to their own stadium by kickoff time. There's a difference between being confident and being cocky and for a 4-year defensive end who doesn't have much to back up what he's saying, that was pretty cocky. If you notice, none of your teammates backed you up on it. Now they'll support someone like Rivers or LT, but that's because they're stars and they make plays that help the team win games. You? All you do is bang your big fat noggin against a 300 pound lineman time after time until you start to feel like Frank Bruno after going a few rounds with Tyson. The Patriots don't talk trash, they let their play on the field do the talking. And up to this point, I'd say they've been doing an excellent job so far wouldn't you?
That's all I got, but seriously Igor, after New England blows you out once again, maybe you'll learn from others who thought their teams could beat the Patriots (see Anthony Smith and Rashean Mathis).
