TEs don’t worry Antrel Rolle

INDIANAPOLIS — No team in the NFL has figured out a way to stop the tight end duo of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The Giants are no exception, as the Patriots [team stats] tandem combined for 12 catches, 136 yards and two touchdowns in New York’s 24-20 win in Week 9.

Despite that, safety Antrel Rolle has no doubt the Giants will be able to stop the most productive tight end duo in NFL history on Sunday.

“Think? No. I don’t think it,” Rolle said. “I know it.”

Rolle isn’t lacking self-confidence and he certainly isn’t intimidated by the Patriots offense.

“You have to have that determination,” Rolle said. “You have to be determined to win. They put their pants on just as well as we put our pants on, so we’re not really worried about all the other outside things.”

Containing the tight ends is a priority for safety Deon Grant, but it’s not his top concern.

“We’re going to definitely get (their numbers) down, but at the end of the day, they find open zones or beat a guy here and there,” Grant said. “If we give them that and still come away with the victory, we’ll take it all day. They can have 500 yards. If we come away with the win, we could care less about it, but we’re definitely going to try to keep that down.”
