Jim Harbaugh blasts back

[vlad]

HAHAHA - I love this guy - he seems very intelligent and doens't take crap from anyone... That statement about the absudity fo the analogy cracks me up, but overall - what a well said statement.

Giants o-coordinator Kevin Gilbride:
"(Justin) Smith is a beast on the inside -- he's strong, he does as good a job (as anybody) of grabbing a hold of offensive linemen and allowing those twists to take place," Gilbride said. "He never gets called for it, so he gets away with murder."

Harbaugh's response:
"Kevin Gilbride's outrageous, irrational statement regarding Justin Smith's play is, first, an absurd analogy," he said. "Second, it is an incendiary comment targeting one of the truly exemplary players in this league. It's obvious that the Giants coaching staff's sole purpose is to use their high visibility to both criticize and influence officiating."

Given Coughlins recent comments about the Cowboys getting 3 plays off in 10 seconds, it does appear to be a strategy of theirs.

Personally, I like it. In a game of thin edges you gotta tried to grab every one you can
