Antrel Rolle offers view on Sal Alosi tripping incident

On Sunday, Sal Alosi committed one of the more heinous acts in recent NFL memory, sticking his knee out and tripping Miami cornerback Nolan Carroll during a punt late in the third quarter.

What ensued was a team investigation launched by the Jets in cooperation with the NFL, resulting in Alosi's indefinite suspension from the team.

Carroll did not confront Alosi, and didn't even know it had happened until he was informed by reporters. When he was made aware of what happened, he seemed rather reserved, joking that he wanted part of the inevitable fine Alosi would receive.

But Giants safety Antrel Rolle said he would have done things a little differently.

"Well you know me, I would have taken it straight to the head. We would have definitely been throwing blows on the sideline," Rolle said. "I don't play that. I'm not a nasty player and I don't expect anyone to be nasty to me"

As far as the situation, Rolle said he found it funny -- just not for Alosi and the Jets.

"I know when I was in the Super Bowl, I was like, 'Dang, I should have just tripped (James) Harrison on the sideline,' but that's not something you actually go and do. For him to do that, I honestly don't know what to say about that."
