again concerned grateful happy however opportunity playing sunday whatever
Playing on Sunday will be an accomplishment because it has been such a long road, ... However much I play, however they use me, whatever I do, I'm just going to be happy that I'm out there. I'm not concerned about starting. I just want to be a part of it. I'm grateful to even have an opportunity again to get out there with those guys.
building guys love relationships start teammates whatever
I feel good. I'm 100 percent, whatever that means. I still love my teammates in Washington, but I want to start building relationships with the guys in New York.
create hour miles mind react towards view whatever
I've slowed everything down, ... I slowed how I view things. I slowed how I react to things. Not just in football, but in life. I used to create something in my mind and make myself go 100 miles an hour towards whatever that was.
best feet game good happens laugh pressure trying whatever
I just want to get my feet wet, ... Whatever happens is going to happen. That's how I look at it. I want to go out there and play the smartest, best game I can play. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I want to make sure I'm still able to laugh at myself if I do something good or something bad.
figured good whatever
I feel all right. It's a good deal. I feel good enough to play my part on this team, whatever that may be. I figured they wanted to see how much I could play.

That might be an omen that I need to leave whatever I brought from there and just start completely over.

I think what you guys fail to realize is I do hunt for minds. So I'm constantly trying to figure out who you are, what you're about.
head might mine rolling saw wish
I saw so many 56 jerseys in the stands. I was like, 'Man, I wish there was one on the field.' When I see all those jerseys and mine is one, I might have to put my head up and keep them (the tears) from rolling down. I might get a little emotional. It's been a long road.
attitude outside positive
I think I have a positive attitude because I kind of look at things outside the box,
last starting
I'm starting over. I've never been in this position, so I'm just going to see what happens. I don't know where I'll be, but I do want to play football. This could be my last hurrah.
head might rolling
I might have to put my head up and keep them from rolling down. I might get a little emotional. It's been a long road.

I think it is a dead issue. I think that I'm so excited about being a Giant now, and being in this city and being able to bring what I'm going to bring to this organization ? that's what I'm focused on.
attention body game good jump liked pay people plays second third
You liked that one? I can't tell you what I saw. I had a good jump on it. It was third and one. People who really pay attention to the way I play see I make a lot of plays in the second half. You see a lot from body movement, from tendencies. Sometimes you see more in the game than you would on film.
fed hold support tired
I was tired at first. I had to hold my nerves. I had so much support from my teammates, and I kind of fed off of that.
