My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.
I literally and truly don't care how many points I score. I get far more satisfaction out of doing the other things that make us winners.
I'm not satisfied. I'm still enjoying this. I still feel like I'm in the best part of my career and I can play at a high level. This is what I love to do: playing football and winning games.
In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
I'm worried about doing my best, playing to my potential, helping out my teammates, and trying to win games for the Giants.
I'm upset. You prepare and hope that you go out there in a big game and big situation and play well, and put your team in a situation to win. And today I didn't do that. I didn't play well. I didn't make enough plays. I made too many mistakes for us to win today.
It's not all about getting one guy into the end zone. It's about getting the team into the end zone, putting up points and winning games.
I've had ups and downs, that's just the way football goes. You can't win them all. It's a matter of learning each week and taking everything in. I'm not going to make every play, I'm going to make some mistakes, but as long as I'm not making the costly ones that are going to hurt the team, I'll be all right.
I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
We had a chance to do it, but obviously, we didn't. We've got another chance next week, and hopefully, we'll do a better performance.
Every game he just makes so many outstanding plays for us. Not only with his runs, but with his pass receiving. He?s our work horse and we are going to keep feeding him.
My arm feels fine. You still have to be aggressive, but if something's ugly and not there, you can't force it in.
Nobody had many catches. There's no doubt, we gotta get him some catches.
I'm old school. I'm locked into my own little circle. If you cross the line, you're going to get bit. They'll always know where I'm coming from and once we hit the floor, there's no doubt.
