Antrel Rolle: Loss does evoke memories of NY Giants' 0-6 start

It was just one loss, but yes, it has Antrel Rolle just a little bit worried.

On Tuesday, during his paid weekly spot on WFAN, the Giants safety admitted that Monday night’s blowout loss to the Detroit Lions could lead some of his teammates to recall last year’s season-opening six-game losing streak.

“To be totally honest with you, yeah,” Rolle said. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say that was a concern. Last year left such a bitter taste in our mouth, you want to get off to an early start so you can erase that memory. The way we looked last night, we didn’t look good. We didn’t look good under any means.”

Rolle was critical of both the offense and the defense in the loss. He called the struggling air attack a “work in progress,” and later added that the defense was “lacking in trust.”

Mostly, though, he called for his teammates to show more effort and intensity on the field.

“I feel like the team needs more fight, we need more attitude,” he said. “I think we’re relying on our talent way too much as opposed to going out there and being dominant, being feisty, having that dog.”
