After Sunday’s 23-10 victory over the Browns, the only thing Bengals cornerback Adam Jones wanted to talk about was Terrelle Pryor.
Jones was not at all happy with the attitude of Pryor, calling him arrogant and a slouch.
“I ain’t talking about nothing but Terrelle Pryor today,” Jones said, via Cleveland.com. “Get out of my face if you want to ask me anything else. He started this the first time we played him. He’s got to be the alpha dog.”
“For a guy that’s been a slouch around the league as a quarterback, he does a lot of fake hard s–t.”
Jones also claimed Pryor confronted Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther during the game about getting Jones cut after the game. He also referenced an incident between Pryor and Robert Griffin III.
“For a guy to personally go to my coordinator and tell me he’s going to get me cut after the game,” said Jones. “I have the utmost respect for Hue Jackson, but certain s–t I don’t tolerate from young punks basically. A suburb kid that wants to act like he’s the toughest thing in the world, because he’s caught a couple of balls.”
“He’s just arrogant. You could see it with his teammates. Could you all not see when he was pushing and cussing at RGIII on the field?”
Jones didn’t just say what was on his mind, he used props to reinforce his point.
If there’s one thing we know about Adam Jones, it’s that he will say what he’s feeling, often without a filter. That said, Jones went above and beyond this time, saying he did research of Pryor’s upbringing.
Pryor finished Sunday’s game with one catch for three yards. He came into this week leading the Browns in receptions (62), receiving yards (855), and receiving touchdowns (4). None of that matters to Adam Jones though.
