JPP warns Giants ahead of return to New York: 'I'm coming'

Nobody on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is more revved up for the team's road trip to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants on Sunday than defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.

"Honestly, I've had this game checked off since I left there," the former Giant said on Wednesday, according to Art Stapleton of North Jersey.com. "Emotions running big, and I'm coming, man. I'm bringing the house down."

Pierre-Paul spent eight seasons with the Giants before being traded to the Bucs in what amounted to a salary dump for Big Blue. He led the G-Men last year with eight sacks, but new general manager Dave Gettleman shipped him out.

"Obviously, New York felt I couldn't get the job done," he told Newsday's Tom Rock. "I don't know who makes those decisions."

The two-time Pro Bowler is settling in nicely with Tampa, recording eight sacks over nine games in 2018. He wants to add to his total against a Giants offensive line that's allowed 32 sacks.

"I know that's a problem but it's not my problem," he said of the Giants' offensive line deficiencies.

New York hasn't been able to replace Pierre-Paul's production off the edge, and the team has recorded just 10 sacks. Only the Oakland Raiders have fewer sacks.
