behind giants good great group guys team traded
It's great to have this behind me and to know that I'm going to be with the Giants and with this group of guys for a long time. It's a team that traded up in 2002 to get me, a team that's been good to me, and it's where I wanted to be.
against came feelings guys hard practiced
There are no hard feelings from our side. We don't have anything against the guys that came here and practiced against us.
against came feelings game guys hard practiced
You're going to have your differences in the way you practice. There are no hard feelings from our side. It's an important preseason game for us, to show we're getting better. We don't have anything against the guys that came here and practiced against us. They're not in our conference; it's over with.
guy left might missing run wide
I thought they might have been missing a guy on the field. I think they thought it was a run and they left me wide open. There was no one there. I don't think I've ever had that before.
bring everybody great guy job letting looks protecting
He's done a great job of never letting the first guy bring him down and protecting the football. He's a guy everybody looks to.
guys talk
I'll probably never talk to you guys again.
everybody game guy looks pioneer
He's a pioneer and the guy that everybody in this game looks up to.
arm blessing page step time watch
(The time off) was probably a blessing in disguise. He got his arm rested. He got to step back and watch like he did his first year. So it's not like he was out of it completely. He's on the same page with us.
definitely everybody good helping knows offense order stretch
Everybody knows in order to have a good offense you have to stretch the field. Now we have Plax, and he'll definitely be helping us in that aspect.
complacent games played
We played pretty well the first two games and got a little complacent and thought we were better than we were.
fun last year
We have a lot to prove. Last year was no fun for anybody.
coming confidence gives knowing leader team
Having the leader of the team in Eli, him being around, knowing everything, knowing everybody's assignments, it gives everyone a lot more confidence. We all have confidence coming in with Eli, Plax and Tiki, those guys. We can build, not necessarily on what we did in the past, but what we can do now.
breakout close confident game gets start time
Give him time and he'll do great. He gets more confident with every start and he'll get better every game he plays. He's really close to having a great, breakout game.
content good guard happened last next opponent punch strong year
If we get off to a strong start, we can be as good as anybody. Last year we started strong and it went downhill. When everything's going right, we can't be content and let our guard down. We can't let that next opponent punch us first, like what happened last year.
