Said former Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora: 'I guarantee the Raiders players will play their hearts out for them.”
HENDERSON, Nev. — The only people more excited than players about Antonio Pierce being named interim head coach are his former teammates. “We have all been talking and texting nonstop since he was hired, all the guys that played with him, and we are super excited to see what he can do,” former Giants and Raiders defensive end David Tollefson said in a phone interview Friday. “The Raiders are not a bad team.
“He can see through our eyes what we’re seeing and he can relate it to what he used to see and then give us the message we need to play better,” he said. “And his enthusiasm will travel throughout the whole team.” Advertisement And Pierce was not just any player. “There is no question that he was a coach on the field, but what’s amazing is that he was an incredible middle linebacker at the same time,” Tollefson said.
