Tuck was great. Those things he did at the end were incredible for the simple fact that it took them out of field-goal range. That was huge. They had a chance to win the game if that hadn't happened. I'm very happy to see that. One thing you can't have enough of is a great pass rush and hopefully this is the start of a great career.
So I feel fresher. I appreciate getting the chance to go out there again. I want to make the most of that every time.
Usually, when you have a young quarterback out there, you think, 'Just don't turn it over,' ... Let your other superstar players give us a chance to win. Well, with Eli back there, he is the superstar player. He's the guy who's going to make those plays.
I know Eli gets a lot of flak, but for some reason when he is in the game I just feel like we've always got a shot. Eli is always going to give us a chance to win, and that's what you need.
I'm enjoying this more than I ever have, ... I think when you're not playing, you realize that you're not going to play forever. But when you do get the chance to play again, you appreciate it that much more.
We've just got to make plays. Keep the ball out of their hands, make the tackles, all the other stuff. We didn't do it.
There have been three guys I've been around who, personality-wise, have been the most inspirational,
When I saw Toomer catch it and there were no flags, it was the most excited I've been around here in a long time.
We're our own worst enemy. You doubt yourself more than anybody else ever will. If you can get past that, you can be successful.
When I saw the date of the game, it was a little like, 'Whoa,' ... It kind of took you back. We'll go out here and hopefully give everybody in the city of New York and across the country something to be happy about and turn it into a celebration.
This time of year, you really have to be able to stop the run. So it's going to be key for us to get back to where we were.
This team is one of those teams that you are going to have to stay until the end of the game to see exactly what happens.
To be honest, that's the last body part I'm concerned about because it doesn't bother me in the least. There's no residual effect at all. Look, I'm here to play and if I go out there and something else gets hurt, that's part of football.
Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'
