Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Tashaun Gipson is not worried about beating the Cleveland Browns as much as he wants to hang all the points on his former employer.
“I truly hope that we hang 40 on them,” Gipson said on ESPN Radio’s Freddie and Fitz show Monday. “Their offense probably shouldn’t score against our defense and I’m excited. That’s the true thing.
“It’s personal, but yet at the end of the day you’re still blessed . . . knowing that I’m in a situation right now where I don’t look back about it. I don’t look back with any regrets. I’m extremely excited with where I’m at right now, but you know it’s definitely going to be personal man, for sure.”
It is definitely personal, but you don't look back on it?
Tashaun Gipson signed a five-year, $35.5 million contract to escape Cleveland two years ago. Maybe that is the reason he feels so blessed. After all, the Jaguars are on a collision course to make the playoffs while the Browns will be lucky if they win a game this season.
“You look back and I feel bad for those guys because, like I said, it’s nothing that they can do. They just go out there and play,” Gipson said of the players. “It’s the guys above them who make these decisions and, you know, it’s unfortunate. We’ve seen it time and time again, the opportunity that’s slipped by them.
“Every time [Eagles quarterback] Carson Wentz pop up on the TV, somebody brings it up [that the Browns didn’t draft him]. I had to play against [Texans rookie quarterback] Deshaun Watson. It’s unfortunate what happened to him, but that’s going to be one of the best young quarterbacks in the league and one of the best quarterbacks in the league in the coming years.
“It’s things like that you just continue to scratch your head. You’ve just got to look back and say, ‘Man, I’m glad to get up out of there.'”
My goodness, stop rubbing it in!
