I think we're overdue for a game where everything goes downhill for us. I think every game we've played, there's been kind of a rocky road, rockier than in the beginning of the year, and I don't know for what reason. Now teams are adjusting to what we do, and it's our turn to try and readjust to them.
It feels real good. We accomplished a lot. The so-called experts had us finishing last in the division. That goes to show how much they know.
Kerry enjoyed being in New York. He enjoyed this group. The guy can still do it and I know he'll be up for the challenge. It's going to be tough seeing him wearing that Raiders' black.
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 really loved playing with Kerry and I just respected him a lot as a person, not only as a player.
I wish Kurt luck every week but this one.
It's related to Eli and the time the line has given him to make plays,
I'm not pointing any fingers, but there were a lot of things going on besides the fact I had a pulled hamstring.
I think we've pretty much reached a common ground. We see that he's willing to meet us halfway, so we're willing to meet him halfway.
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.
We're overdue for a big game. It seems like every game we've had recently has had a rocky road.
