Carolina is a tough, physical, well-coached team. We earned the right to play this game at home, and that is very important. |
Certainly, his performance has again raised the level of expectation not only for him, but for our team, I think, in the eyes of his teammates. |
Chase was released from the hospital this morning and came back with (vice president of medical services) Ronnie Barnes feeling a lot better. The medical post trauma obviously is in the neck area. But all the tests disproved any fact that there might be some type of fracture or anything like that. There was nothing of that nature. |
Clearly, clearly we are the team of record, the team of record in 2005 that has lost two great owners. The New York Giants' tradition moves on -- both men, great Giants. |
Completely different situation here than it was in Jacksonville, ... but the approach is the same. You can't change your coaching philosophy to fit every condition. You do what you believe in. |
Eli was extremely poised. He knew exactly what he was coming into, he was focused and he didn't let any of the noise or anything bother him. He played well enough. If we'd done some things on defense, he played well enough for us to win. |
Eli, whatever the challenge is, he seems to deal with it all pretty well. |
Every team tries to do something about him. And that's the scary thing. He still sits there atop the board for yardage by a non-running back. They do a good job of getting him the ball every way they can. |
Everybody wants to know about pecking order. We need them all. You're about as strong as whomever is out there. Everybody in this league is aware of who you are putting on the field. The stronger you are, the less the opponent can look for, the better off you are going to be. That's the whole point. |
Everyone feels bad and everyone feels down. But we've got to bounce back. We've got to move forward. We're very disappointed we didn't win the game, but these are all big games now. |
First and foremost, he's an outstanding athlete. He has to be or else he wouldn't be in this position. He takes great care of himself. He's a competitor by nature. He has a great sense of humor, which I think keeps everything in perspective for him, good or bad. But, to play as long as he has played and to be on the verge of breaking these records is a tremendous accomplishment. For someone to be in a position that he's in and having done this for so many years and continue to be excited about coming to work every day and the opportunities he has is really a remarkable thing. |
For a long way into the game Tim played well, he did a lot of good things. Whether he tried to press, whether he tried to do more than he should have ... . I'm not disappointed in the way Tim played, but I was looking for a continuation of the kind of start he made. |
For somebody so concerned about ball security, that certainly was not a good job of securing the ball, |
For someone so concerned with ball security, it wasn't a good job. |
For someone so worried about ball security, we didn't secure the ball very well, |
