Beason: "250 yards were on us"

[MorgulKing]

I didn't see this posted yet and it's definitely post worthy. Courtsey of Charlotte Observer:

"Linebcker Jon Beason is a prideful player and one of those guys who will answer a reporter's question straight-up.

Monday afternoon, still less than 24 hours after a 34-28 overtime loss to the Giants, Beason was asked about New York's big night running the ball. The Giants rolled up 301 yards on the ground, most by an opponent in Panthers history. Derrick Ward had 215 of them, an individual record for an opponent. After blaming sloppy play and poor communication on the Panthers' inability to stop the Giants' running game, Beason was asked if the talents of Ward and backfield mate Brandon Jacobs might have had something to do with it.

"I hate you asked that question," Beason said. "The politically correct thing to say is they're a great combination of running backs -- really good backs. And they are. But based on the film, of the 300 yards, let's say, uh, 250 were on us. That's how I'll answer that question.""

Get the d fired up? He just put them all down...

[hepcat]

what else can he say they played like donkey balls when it mattered most.

and of that 250, about 210 were on the interior line.

jeez with Kemo out I thought it would've been bad but I didn't think it would be 300 yards bad.

They need to take it personal, for next time.

I know a good way to cope with the loss. If we beat the Saints, we'll win the NFC South and have a 1st round bye.

Do we also get a homefield divisional game?

yes

[OneBadassCat]

Well poo that sounds pretty good to me. Our guys can get some much needed rest, and an amped up home game to get them fired up for revenge on the road.

At least hes being straight up, being PC is way overrated.

[beastson]

Watching Denver game, like Beastson said... Kemo frees him cause he requires a double team

[solorca]

When Ken Lucas first came to Carolina, these are the kind of answers he would give. The team shut him up after a while though.

I hope they don't try to do the same to Beason.

[megadeth078]

Lucas is not Beason. Do you not see the difference? I do.

I think it sucks that the team has to be reminded to be fired up.....this time of year. Almost like 5 year old that have to be reminded every 2 hours to do something.
