Remmers unfazed by JPP not knowing him: 'He can watch the tape'

Mike Remmers all but rolled his eyes Tuesday when asked about Jason Pierre-Paul saying he doesn't recognize the Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman.

"He can watch the tape and figure it out himself," he said, courtesy of ESPN's Dianna Russini. "But I just think I'm a hard-nosed guy, I'm a tough guy that's gonna bust his tail every single snap."

The nine-year veteran started against the Buccaneers in Week 12, playing right guard. Remmers was given an opportunity to make Pierre-Paul familiar with him, but he didn't seem interested.

"Honestly, I don't really care what his opinion is on anything," Remmers said. "Every week that I've played in this league, I've never gone into a game thinking, 'Hey, I wonder what this guy thinks of me!' I don't care at all, it makes no difference to me, I'm just going out there to do my job."

On Monday, Pierre-Paul asked reporters what position Remmers plays, telling them "I didn't even know who that was."

Remmers is set to start at left tackle for the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, when he'll line up against Pierre-Paul. The 31-year-old is moving over from the right side, where he had been starting for the injured Mitchell Schwartz. He'll be filling in at left tackle for Eric Fisher, who suffered an Achilles injury in the AFC title game.

Pierre-Paul, meanwhile, recorded 9.5 regular-season sacks, and he's added two more in the playoffs.
