Capping a week of exchanged barbs, Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason questioned Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder’s worth to his own team.
On Thursday, Crowder referred to Mason as "the old guy." On Friday, Mason said Crowder "was still peeing on himself when I was playing football."
After Sunday's game, Mason told a group of reporters that Crowder didn't know how to play football.
"I don't even think they want him on this team, but they have nobody to replace him, so he has to be there," Mason said. "They took him out of the game, they played a little bit better. [When] he's in the game, he's getting knocked down, he's getting pushed out of the way. The guy is horrible. Honestly, the guy is horrible. He's probably a good guy. I'm not taking that away from him, but he's horrible. He's not a good football player. Honestly, he needs to go back and watch the film and humble himself and just play the next game and not say anything."
Informed that a few of his teammates, most notably fullback Le'Ron McClain, got physical with Crowder, Mason said the linebacker "deserved it."
"They told me towards the end of the week that they were going to get him back for me and they did," he said. "Like I said, everytime I looked, the guy was either on the ground or he was getting pushed out of the play. Willis stiff-armed him and made him look like a fool. There comes a point in time when if you're going to talk the talk, walk the walk. He figured he can talk his way through a game. He tried that a few years ago with coach [Rex] Ryan and it didn't work. I don't understand why this guy continues to talk. This is not boxing. You can't scare your opponent. You've got to go out there and play football, and this guy doesn't know how to play football."
