Justin Tuck may not hate the Atlanta Falcons the way he hates the Dallas Cowboys, but he already has a strong dislike for their offensive line. Tuck fired the first shot of wild-card week on Monday when he called the Falcons’ linemen “dirtbags” and acknowledged their well-earned reputation for dirty play. Twice this season opponents have ripped into the Atlanta line for “cheap” and dangerous tactics. And Tuck said the Giants’ defensive linemen will be watching out for that during their playoff game at the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon. “Yeah we’ve seen it. We know they have that quote-unquote ‘reputation,’” Tuck told reporters, one day after the Giants clinched the NFC East championship with a 31-14 win over the Cowboys. “Most people, you would call them dirtbags. But it is what it is. We’ve got to make sure we do our job and if we are doing our job well. Then they will be upset and they will be trying to do things to get us off our game, and we’ve got to take that as a compliment.”
