Antrel Rolle says Giants' defense will stay nasty

Now that the Giants have their dog, Antrel Rolle says it's not going back on the leash.

The safety who last week sparked the team to be nastier and backed up those words with strong play against the Saints, was back on the radio Tuesday for his weekly WFAN spot. Rolle said the Giants have no intention of letting up after finding their ferocity.

"We have our foot on the pedal now and we're not going to let it off,'' he said of the Giants' attitude as they prepare to visit the 11-2 Falcons. "The dogs will be out hunting come Sunday.''

Rolle said when he spoke last week, disappointed in the way the Giants fawned over upcoming opponents and calling on the team to be nastier, he was directing those comments toward the whole team, including himself.

"I just said I could be playing more physical, more dominant as a player,'' Rolle said this week. He had a hand in three of the Giants' turnovers.
