EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants will get their first taste of Washington Redskins rookie sensation Robert Griffin III on Sunday.

The defending Super Bowl champions are eager to face Griffin and his blazing speed in person. Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is looking forward to matching up with the quarterback and Washington's run game.

And he says he will be ready on the right side of the Giants' defense.

"We like to set the edges," Pierre-Paul said of containing the corners. "Yes, it'll be a very good matchup. Not on my side, though. Not on my side. Or the other side."

When asked about his side of the defense, Pierre-Paul responded: "Not on my side. Don't bring it on my side. Don't bring it. Go the other way."

"Don't come on my side, I told you that," he added. "Don't come to my side. Not my side."

Pierre-Paul is coming off his best game of the season, accounting for two of the team's six sacks in the 26-3 victory over San Francisco.

But the Giants will have their hands full trying to contain Griffin. The buzz around RG3 has only intensified after his sensational 76-yard touchdown run to put away the Vikings, 38-26, last weekend. Griffin rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

Griffin is quickly building a reputation. Earlier this summer, Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora said he would call the Redskins rookie "Bob" until he earned the right to have a cool nickname like RG3.

Umenyiora would later tell USA Today Sports that Griffin had earned the nickname after seeing how impressive he was.
