A lot of that had to do with his belief that this organization represents this city. We played with the kind of pride New Yorkers have.
He doesn't need to be Joe Montana right now. He has time to develop into that. As long as we play well around him, I think he'll continue to develop and be the great quarterback we expect him to be.
He won't have to think about it or hear from his agent what the organization is thinking. He can stay focused on football - not that Jeremy hasn't been focused.
Amani missed a block, ... I think he was setting himself up.
I think it'll tell a lot about our team and our offense in particular and how good we really are. They've been playing great defense and it's a monumental test for us to go on the road and do what we've done at home.
I can relate to Jeremy because I had lingering injuries for two and a half years and when I finally got healthy, it felt so good,
Our quarterback is playing so great right now. You can see how he's improving exponentially each week.
Knowing Stray, he'll play. He was walking around, but he wasn't walking all right. But he's always ready to play, even when he's hurting, he's OK.
There's no strife in this locker room, nothing that's going to provide any distractions. And that's the most important thing right now.
I think at halftime we realized we were probably putting a little bit too much on Eli and we went back to running the ball and doing basic things.
At any plethora of points along the way I was down. But we kept going. Guys kept working for me.
I think we did some good things. Eli was a little bit more consistent. He made some great decisions out there and he was a good leader in the huddle. I think execution-wise we weren't perfect, we still have a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we're ecstatic that we're 2-0. We have great team chemistry right now with everyone doing their part, but we're still not holding up our end completely and it's going to take some time.
We've been assured that it's nothing serious. We've been told he'll be back in a couple weeks.
We've got to beat our injury bug. Other than that, we have the pieces in place.
