He's gotten me with a few cheap shots. His hits tend to be either late or borderline shots.
I think when we went to San Diego and he had all of that adversity, it really brought out the best in him. I think now he knows how good he can be, and he is doing a great job throwing the ball down the field and getting everybody involved.
I think the fact that he had time in the preseason and mini-camps is going to help him a lot in his comeback. This is going to give the other quarterbacks an opportunity to step forward and see who's going to be the backup.
It's hard to get upset, hard to get frustrated, when your whole team is happy and you're putting up the most points that our team has put up in a long time, ... You just have to take a step back sometimes and appreciate the situation, because wins are hard to come by in this league.
I've seen Kerry when he's hot and he's a tough guy to stop. So we've got to be up for the challenge. I know we really want to win this division, so if he wants to exact his revenge, we're going to have to do what we can.
I just saw it in the air and I went and grabbed it, and that's all,
I've always thought this year would be his year. And after what happened last week, we definitely needed to come up with a big game at home.
Eli took a huge step forward today, ... I always thought this year would be his year to really step out.
I have no real comment, ... I just feel like we won. Leave it at that.
This is practice. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
If I was a psychologist, I could tell you. We didn't match their intensity ... I just can't understand that.
When I joined the Giants I wore No. 89 and had it for a couple of years. But I didn't like it. I didn't feel comfortable in it and I wanted to get out of it. You get a number that you feel comfortable with and it's like a good pair of shoes.
Whenever anybody as a receiver is making plays to help the team, you get your blood flowing and you get excited and you really get into the game, which is hard to do when that's not happening,
We're overdue for a big game. It seems like every game we've had recently has had a rocky road.
