I might not talk just about the game. I'll just make sure he's loose and focused and ready to go. |
I promised you the first thing you'd hear when we lost a game is it starts with me, |
I remember Eddie when we drafted him to the Giants out of Stanford, and he was another free-spirited guy, tall guy, productive in college, ... I think if Jeff could go on and play in the NFL and had a similar career to Eddie McCaffrey, I think he would be pretty happy. |

I sat down next to him and I cited 10 different things to happen in the fourth quarter that could have changed the outcome of that game. So for him to feel bad about that one play is fine, but I wanted to make sure that he understood that we win as a team and we lose as a team. That was just one play in the game. |
I saw at halftime (that) they're going to do an MRI on him, so I'll have to wait until they get the MRI to see where they are, ... Obviously, it was something where he couldn't come back in the game, so the severity of it ... I don't know, they just told me he was gone for the day. |
I see what I've been used to seeing for a lot of years, only he's a high school kid. I see a man playing amongst boys at the high school level. Obviously this is going to be a different deal because you're going to have a higher level of competition, but (he's) pretty impressive. |
I spent due diligence making sure I went to all the people I knew would be feeling the worst, |
I think Darius could run the ball in a game 40 times if you wanted him to, but you have to worry about the whole season, |
I think Darius, along with (offensive coordinator Michael) Haywood have been working all year long to make it where we can put him on the field for all three downs. |
I think he is a really good coach. He has been good for college football. He came in there when that program was a little down. Obviously, they're setting the bar now. |
I think how balanced they are. I don't know that you can say we need to shut down 83, or 21 or 8 or 3 or 10 or 39 on defense. My biggest worry is they look awful good across the board. |
I think I spent too much time talking about the game being a distraction, |
I think I've done a lot of things to bring a positive vibe to the program, but it still really comes down to how you play. It's easy to sit there and say, 'I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.' But, really, it then comes down to whether or not the same thing follows it to the field. |
I think if our players watched the tape of the game against Michigan State, we have enough problems to worry about on our own, and that's what we're worrying about, |
