JPP not worried about Chiefs LT Remmers: 'I didn't even know who that was'

Nine-year NFL veteran Mike Remmers will play left tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV, but his name doesn't mean much to Tampa Bay Buccaneers edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul.

"I didn't even know who that was," Pierre-Paul told reporters Monday, according to Nick Shook of NFL.com. "Man, I'm not going to lie to you. Is this a tackle that you're talking about? Like I said, I don't care too much about it. They got to figure that out. I'm going to play some great football this weekend."

Remmers started at right tackle for the Chiefs with Mitchell Schwartz sidelined by a back injury down the stretch. The 31-year-old will slide over to the left side for the Super Bowl after Eric Fisher suffered an Achilles injury in the AFC title game.

The Chiefs are also expected to deploy right guard Andrew Wylie at right tackle and insert Stefen Wisniewski at right guard. Pierre-Paul showed little compassion for the defending champions while they deal with their injury bug.

"I don't care, it don't matter. This is the freaking Super Bowl," he said. "I don't care if they have three offensive linemen, they send two to block me, three to block me. I'm going to do what I need to do. Us boys going to do what we need to do. That's a you problem. They gotta figure that out. I'm coming to play a football game. Not just any football game, but Super Bowl LV.

"I ain't got time to play games. The only game I'm playing is football. … I don't care about their offensive linemen. I don't care."

Pierre-Paul had 9.5 sacks in the regular season to earn his first Pro Bowl selection since 2012, and he has two through the Buccaneers' three playoff contests.

The 32-year-old is set to play in his second career Super Bowl. He posted two tackles, a quarterback hit, and two pass breakups in Super Bowl XLVI in 2012, helping the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots.
