LAST MEETING VS. INDIANAPOLIS COLTSCOLTS 38, GIANTS 14 . LUCAS OIL STADIUM . SEPT. 19, 2010

INDIANAPOLIS -- There was no brotherly love in Indianapolis as Peyton Manning came out firing on the game’s first play and didn’t let up until his Colts had clinched a lopsided 38-14 triumph over Eli Manning and the Giants in Lucas Oil Stadium.

This was the second game in NFL history in which the starting quarterbacks were brothers. Peyton and the Colts have defeated Eli and the Giants in both of them, including the 2006 season opener. Peyton Manning, benefitting from a strong run game and solid protection, completed 20 of 26 passes for 255 yards and no interceptions.

Eli Manning hit 13 of 24 passes for 161 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Man-ning threw touchdown passes of 54 yards to Mario Manningham and 31 yards to Hakeem Nicks with only 1:46 remaining in the game.

GIANTS PARTNER WITH QUEST DIAGNOSTICS The Giants and Quest Diagnostics have teamed up to find new ways to use laboratory diagnostic information services to improve the health and performance of athletes of all ages and abilities.

PRESEASON WEEK 1

No. 35ANDRE BROWNRunning back

Andre Brown recovered from an early fumble to have a solid performance. He rushed four times for 23 yards (5.8 yards per carry - tops among Giants backs). He also caught one pass for 7 yards.

No. 39TYLER SASHSafety

Tyler Sash took advantage of his extended playing time and made 2 big plays. He tackled rookie Landry Jones in the end zone for a safety and recovered David Gilreath’s fumble on a punt return both in the third quarter. Sash also had 4 tackles and one deflected pass.

No. 71ADEWALE OJOMODefensive End

Second-year defensive end Adewale Ojomo, who starred last preseason with 4 sacks in 2 games, accounted for 1.5 of the Giants’ 5 sacks against the Steelers. He also had 2 tackles for losses.

No. 80VICTOR CRUZWide Receiver

Victor Cruz had only 1 reception, but he made it count. Cruz hauled in a long pass from QB Eli Manning and turned it into a 57-yard touchdown.

No. 79Damontre MooreDefensive End

Damontre Moore’s NFL debut was one to remember. The rookie out of Texas A&M blocked a punt during the game’s opening series and constantly pressured the Steelers’ quarterbacks. He finished the night with 4 tackles, including one for a loss, to lead all defensive lineman.


QB ELI MANNING Eli Manning looks to continue his dynamic play in 2013. Entering his 10th season, Manning currently has the longest active streak among NFL quarterbacks during regular-season games with 135 consecutive starts, the all-time Giants record. In 2012, he threw for 3,948 yards and 26 touchdowns, becoming the first Giants quarterback to throw for more than 3,000 yards in 8 consecutive seasons.

GIANTS RUNNING BACKSDAVID WILSON & ANDRE BROWN Ahmad Bradshaw’s departure to Indianapolis provides great opportunities for running backs David Wilson and Andre Brown to lead the rushing attack. After a slow start, Wilson came on strong over the final four games last season, when he totaled 701 all-purpose-yards and 6 TDs. Brown had a career year despite going down in Week 11 with a season-ending leg injury. He rushed 73 times for 385 yards (5.3 avg.) and 8 TDs. In his first career start at Carolina, Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and 2 touchdowns in a blowout.

TE BRANDON MYERSThe Giants signed free agent TE Brandon Myers to help fill the void left by Mar-tellus Bennett, who signed with Chicago in the spring. Myers is coming off a career season with the Oakland Raiders, from whom he caught 79 catches for 806 yards. The fifth-year pro also started in all 16 games for the Silver and Black last season.

GIANTS RECEIVING CORPS HAKEEM NICKS, VICTOR CRUZ & RUEBEN RANDLEEli Manning will have plenty of weapons at wide receiver in 2013. Victor Cruz is coming off a season in which he had 1,092 receiving yards receiving and caught a team-high 10 touchdowns passes. Hakeem Nicks looks to regain his 2011 form in which he set a career high with 1,192 yards r e -ceiving. Rueben Randle looks to have a more prominent role in the offense with the departure of Do-menik Hixon. Randle caught 2 touchdown passes in the season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.

WHO TO WATCH FOR IN 2013...


GIANTS DEFENSIVE ENDS JUSTIN TUCK, JASON PIERRE-PAUL, MATHIAS KIWANUKAThe Giants have an outstanding defensive end trio in Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Mathias Kiwanuka. After recording 9.0 sacks over the past two seasons, Tuck hopes to play as he did in 2010 where he recorded 11.5 sacks. In 2012, Pierre-Paul played in all 16 games for the third consecu-tive season and finished with 6.5 sacks and 87 tackles. After rotating between linebacker and defensive end, Kiwanuka permanently returns to the end position, where in 2008 he set a career high with 8 sacks.

CB PRINCE AMUKAMARAIn 2012, Prince Amukamara bounced back from his injury-shortened rookie sea-son to have a solid sophomore campaign. He accumulated 59 tackles, 6 passes defensed, and 1 interception, while playing in 13 games. The third-year pro is looking to solidify himself as one of the rising cornerbacks in the NFL.

K JOSH BROWN On March 13, 2013 the Giants signed Josh Brown to take over for Lawrence Tynes, who had the second highest field goal percentage in Giants history (83.6). Over his 10-year career, Brown has accumulated 1,003 points with a career long of 58 yards, which he completed during his rookie season with the Seattle Se-ahawks.

College: University of Wyoming

Tom Coughlin is one of the finest, most successful, and most admired coaches in NFL history. His signature achievements are the Giants’ victories against the New England Patriots in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. Coughlin’s 2-0 record in Super Bowls makes him the 13th head coach to win multiple Super Bowls and is one of 18 coaches with a perfect Super Bowl record. Coughlin was named the sixteenth head coach in Giants history on January 6, 2004. This season marks Coughlin’s tenth with the Giants and eighteenth as an NFL head coach. Coughlin has the NFL’s third-longest head coaching tenure with one team, behind New England’s Bill Belichick (enter-ing his 14th season with the team) and Cincinnati’s Marvin Lewis (entering his 11th). Last season, the Giants scored 429 points, the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants scored 448. The 2012 season was the fifth in the 88-year history of the franchise in which the Giants scored more than 400 points. Four of them have occurred since Coughlin became head coach in 2004: 2012 (429 points), 2008 (427), 2005 (422) and 2009 (402). In 2012, Coughlin led the Giants to a 9-7 record. It was their eighth consecutive non-losing season, the team’s lon-gest streak since finishing .500 or better in 10 straight years from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they’ve done that since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3). In 2011, he helmed the Giants to their second champion-ship in four seasons with a 21-17 win against the New Eng-land Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. He also guided the team to a 9-7 record, en route to winning an NFC East crown. In 2010, the Giants posted a record of 10-6. The Giants finished the 2009 season with an 8-8 record. In the 2008 season the Giants finished with a 12-4 record, which won the NFC East division. Coughlin directed the Giants 17-14 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII on February 3, 2008, the third championship in the team’s history. Last year, Coughlin passed Bill Parcells (77 regular-sea-son victories) and moved into second place on the Giants’ career coaching list. He finished the season with 83 victories and trails only Owen, who won a record 151 games as the Giants’ head coach. Coughlin’s eight Giants postseason victories tie him with Parcells for the franchise record. Coughlin has led the Giants to two NFC East titles and five playoff berths in nine years.

Chuck Pagano’s 2012 season proved to be one of the most inspirational stories in NFL history. Named head coach of the Indianapolis Colts on January 25, 2012, Pagano was forced to take a leave of absence just three games into the season after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a curable form of the disease, which is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow cells. When Pagano hired Bruce Arians as the team’s offensive coordinator, he knew exactly what kind of coach and person would be directing the Colts offense. Pagano and Arians coached together for the Cleveland Browns (2001-03) and went toe-to-toe in an AFC North Division rivalry when Arians served as the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pagano held the position of defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. Pagano also knew that Arians would lead the team based on the foundation currently in place while continuing to develop the groundwork and expectations that Pagano established during his first months at the helm. Now serving as the team’s interim head coach, Arians and the Colts defied the odds and rallied to a 9-3 record. During that time frame, Indianapolis secured a playoff berth and accomplished one of their primary goals – extending the season for Pagano. The 11-5 record was a nine-win improvement from the 2011 campaign, which tied for the third-largest one-year turnaround in NFL history. The Colts also registered their 12th 10-plus win season in the past 14 years, which is the most of any NFL team since 1999. Pagano and Arians were honored together by the Maxwell Football Club as the re-cipients of the 24th Annual Earle “Greasy” Neale Award for Professional Coach of the Year. The two also garnered AFC Coach of the Year honors as winners of the annual NFL 101 Awards. Pagano was selected by the PFWA as the winner of the 2013 George Halas Award, given to an NFL player, coach or staff member who overcame the most adversity to succeed. Each year, the Fritz Pollard Alliance Foundation recognizes individuals who make a difference in diversity and inclusion at an annual awards banquet. In February of 2013, Pagano received the foundation’s Game Ball Award for the differ-ences he has made to level the playing field in the NFL for minorities. The 2013 season will mark Pagano’s 29th year of coaching and 12th season in the NFL. Prior to joining the Colts, he spent four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and the last (2011) as the team’s defensive coordinator.

2013 preseason review

GIANTS 18, STEELERS 13Aug. 10, 2013Heinz Field

Two big plays in the first quarter gave the Giants a lead they never relinquished on their way to an 18-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener Saturday night in Heinz Field.

On the game’s first series, Pittsburgh had to punt from its 17-yard line (after the initial punt was nullified by a penalty). Moore blasted up the middle through a hole in the Steelers’ line and got his hands on Drew Butler’s punt. Louis Murphy recovered the ball and returned it eight yards to the Pittsburgh five-yard line. The Giants couldn’t get the ball in the end zone and had to settle for Josh Brown’s 23-yard field goal.

That was not an issue on the Giants’ second possession, after the Steelers had tied the score at 3-3. On a third-and-three from the Giants’ 43, Eli Manning unleashed a long pass that Victor Cruz caught at the Pittsburgh 30-yard line. The receiver didn’t stop running until he had scored on a 57-yard touchdown that gave the Giants a 10-3 lead with 1:10 remaining in the first quarter.

The Giants also scored on Brown field goals of 30 and 47 yards and a safety, when safety Tyler Sash tackled rookie quarterback Landry Jones in the end zone.

Defensively, the Giants didn’t allow a touchdown. Pittsburgh’s only six-pointer was scored by linebacker Adrian Robinson, who recovered the ball in the end zone after Matt McCants’ shotgun snap sailed over the head of quarterback Ryan Nassib. The Steelers also got Scott Suisham field goals of 34 and 41 yards.

The Giants played all four of their quarterbacks in the game, Manning plus backups David Carr, Curtis Painter and Nassib, the rookie from Syracuse. Rookie Michael Cox led the Giants in rushing yards with 33. David Wilson, Jerrel Jernigan and Da’Rel Scott each had a team-high two receptions.

GIANTS NOTEBOOKBy Michael Eisen Aug. 11, 2013

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – EAST RUTHER-FORD, N.J. – It’s fair to say no position group on the Giants has as wide open a competition for starting spots this summer as the lineback-ers. And one preseason game does not provide enough evidence to make a final decision.

Coach Tom Coughlin praised the group in his review today of the Giants’ 18-13 victory last night in their preseason opener in Pittsburgh. But the coach would not or could not single out a specific linebacker who rose above his breth-ren.

“I think there were flashes, I really do,” Cough-lin said on a conference call. “I don’t know that there’s any one particular individual that made enough plays or a whole lot of plays in order for me to say that. But we were steady. We didn’t give up a touchdown (by the Steelers’ offense), so somebody was doing a good job in there.”

The linebackers are currently so interchangeable for several reasons. Chase Blackburn and Mi-chael Boley, who started a combined 25 games last season, are no longer with the team. Mathias Kiwanuka, who started four games at strongside backer, is again a fulltime defensive end. Keith Rivers was limited to 11 games and six starts in 2012.

The Giants’ linebackers have yet to establish themselves individually or as a group. The start-ers in Pittsburgh were Mark Herzlich in the middle, fellow third-year pro Spencer Paysinger on the weak side and the veteran and former first round draft pick Rivers on the strong side. Jacquian Williams was on the field in nickel packages. Aaron Curry, Dan Connor and Kyle Bosworth, all presumed to be in the mix, played as reserves.

Coughlin was questioned about Herzlich, who was credited with one solo tackle.

“In that position, the mike backer position gets the signals and calls the game as it comes off the sideline,” Coughlin said. “So Mark had that op-portunity. He does an outstanding job with that. We’re analyzing the linebacker play the entire preseason so that we can get the right people on

the field in the right spots. So it’s ongoing and Mark, I’m sure, will be a guy that will tell you that we played pretty good last night, but we can all play better.” Paysinger led the Giants with five tackles (four solo). Connor had three (two solo). None of the other backers had more than two. Wil-liams knocked down a Ben Roethlisberger pass. Coughlin was displeased with Pittsburgh’s 58 rushing yards in the first quarter (including three runs of nine or more yards).

“Right off the bat, we were reached,” Coughlin said. “They came out running the outside zone play and we did get in a position where we were reached. We didn’t get off the blocks and didn’t get to a point where we could reject the front and the ball carriers were able to slash and make yardage and a couple of times cut the ball back. I think we’ll do a better job once we get a look at this tape and understand our gap responsibili-ties, but this is going to continue to be an objec-tive for us.”

Coughlin was asked whether the Steelers’ rush-ing total was due in part to the Giants’ lineback-er flux.

“I’m hoping that the combinations that we go with,” Coughlin said, “whether that’s by our de-cision or by the result of the injury factor, we’re hoping those combinations will provide the necessary strength or techniques in order to ac-complish what our objectives are. We’re not say-ing it’s going to be a perfect alignment. That just doesn’t happen. So the guys that are available to us or the combinations we decide upon are in there for that reason.”

*Not surprisingly, Coughlin was still annoyed with running back Andre Brown for mishan-dling a pitchout and losing the ball to Pittsburgh.

“Naturally it concerns me and it concerns An-dre, too, because it was careless,” Coughlin said. “I don’t care how much and how long you’ve played the game. There are certain things that have to happen before you run the ball. You’ve got to look the ball in. If it’s going to be a toss or a pitch or a pass or whatever - first, you have to catch the darn thing and put it away and cover it up before you can go on to the next objective. I’m sure he’s going to learn a lot from that and to his credit, he went back right in and did some

(1/1)

good things. So that idea of looking the ball in, I don’t know how that escaped him last night, but for me, that was the whole reason for the turnover.” *Rookie quarterback Ryan Nassib played the fourth quarter and had one completion in four attempts, a 29-yarder to Julian Talley.

“He needs to keep getting his feet wet just like anybody else does,” Coughlin said. “It’s a brand new experience and we’ll keep that in mind as we set the order and the number of snaps as they are to be divided up for the next game. Now in truth, he got just as many snaps as anybody else. A couple of them were the victory formation at the end.” *Coughlin said he expects Justin Tuck to prac-tice tomorrow. Tuck missed two workouts last week and the Pittsburgh game because of tight-ness in his back. Offensive lineman Justin Pugh, who has been sidelined for a week with a con-cussion, has been cleared to return to practice.

*Wide receiver Kris Adams underwent surgery to repair the fractured left ankle he suffered in Pittsburgh. Backup offensive lineman Chris DeGeare, who sustained a knee injury, was un-dergoing evaluation. “We do have the normal aches and pains from having played and I won’t know the real consequence of those things until I get an evening report from the training room,” Coughlin said. *The Giants next play on Sunday, Aug. 18 at home vs. Indianapolis.


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Most of the at-tention Tyler Sash has received during training camp has been for his prodigious beard, which he began growing shortly before his arrival.

But Sash’s outstanding performance in the Gi-ants’ preseason opener has turned the interest to his play, which is where Sash would prefer it to be.

The third-year safety had four solo tackles and made two big plays in the third quarter, first tackling rookie quarterback Landry Jones in the end zone for a safety and four minutes later recovering David Gilreath’s fumble on a punt return.

“That’s what I’m here to do, be around the foot-ball,” Sash said. “That’s my job, that’s what I’m here to do is be around the football and help my team in any way I can, on defense or spe-cial teams. That’s what I did and I look forward to improving this week in practice and doing it again on Sunday night (when the Giants host Indianapolis).”

Pittsburgh had a first down on its four-yard line when Sash’s instincts helped give the Giants two points.

“I was a little tight down on the line, just because they were backed up and we knew that they were probably going to try to just punch the ball out there,” Sash said. “Rookie quarterback mishan-dled the snap, fumbled the ball and for a second I thought I might get on it for a touchdown. But he picked it up at the last second. I just happened to be there, jump on the pile and got the safety.”

Sash credited long snapper Zak DeOssie with an assist on the fumble recovery.

“DeOssie had been putting pressure on the re-turners all night and you know that’s in the back of their mind,” Sash said. “With Steve Weather-ford hanging the ball up in the air and Zak De-Ossie running down full speed like a madman, that’s in a returner’s heads. He happened to muff a punt and I happened to be at the right spot at the right time and made a play to help our of-fense get the ball back and help put some points

on the board.”

Sash can make such plays more easily than in the past. He has more mobility and less worry than he had in his first two seasons, when bone spurs in his joints sometimes caused his ankle to lock up. Sash had offseason surgery on both ankles to correct the problem. Did he ever take the field thinking, “This will be the day they lock up?”

“That would happen every day,” he said. “(The surgery) definitely helped me as far as running around and being able to move. I already know I’m a sixth-round guy (from the 2011 draft). I understand what’s going on, I’ve got to produce. If I’m not producing, that’s why they’re bring-ing another safety in or they’re going to try to acquire somebody from another team or draft somebody. I got those taken care of and it’s all about production right now, proving to this coaching staff and every other coaching staff in the NFL that I can play defense and I can play special teams and help your team win.”

In his first two years, Sash played in 23 regular-season games, including every contest in the Giants’ 2011 championship season. Last year, he missed the first four games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs when he took Adderall without following the protocol of the policy. Sash played in seven games and had three tackles on defense and four on special teams.

He arrived at camp last month knowing he was challenged just to make the roster. Antrel Rolle and Stevie Brown are secure as the team’s start-ing safeties. Veteran Ryan Mundy was added as a free agent from Pittsburgh. The Giants also have Will Hill and drafted Cooper Taylor on the fifth round. But Hill is suspended for the season’s first four games and Taylor has been sidelined with a hamstring injury.

“I’m approaching it the same way,” Sash said of the crowd at his position. “Number one to me is that I’m healthy, I know what kind of foot-ball player I am and I know that I can help out on special teams or defense on any team in the league. Everybody’s proving themselves each and every time they come out here. There’s only so many positions up for grabs and you’ve got to come out each and every day and prove who you are and prove what you can do to improve this team, because if you’re not helping the team out

or hurting the team in any way, you’re not going to be here for very long.”

Now about that beard…It’s thick and bushy and gives Sash the look of a lumberjack. The beard got a special imprimatur Saturday from Steel-ers defensive Brett Keisel, who has long owned what is arguably the NFL’s most exceptional and famous facial hair.

“Everybody has these people that they look up to and for my beard, it’s just him, I guess,” Sash said. “After the game I did, I told him my beard looked up to his beard. I told Keisel I looked up to his beard yesterday on Twitter and he retweeted me and said I had a fine beard myself, so I was pretty happy about that.”

That’s probably not going to help him make the team, but perhaps it demonstrates that Sash’s fortunes are looking up.


EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The happiest Gi-ant in the Quest Diagnostics Training Center today was almost certainly Justin Pugh.

“I’ve got a big smile on my face.” Pugh said.

With good reason. The Giants’ first-round draft choice returned to practice today after miss-ing a week of work and the opening preseason game because of a concussion. Pugh wasn’t able to be in the facility immediately after he was di-agnosed, nor did he travel to Pittsburgh for the Giants’ 18-13 victory over the Steelers.

“I feel like I’m letting everyone down by being out, but it’s the right thing,” Pugh said. “I know the way NFL is handling concussions now you have to make sure that you’re held accountable and you tell somebody because it’s a major thing.

“First time I ever had a concussion, so I didn’t really know what it was all about. The doctors here did a great job handling everything and I’m symptom-free, so it’s been good for me now.”

Pugh’s return included a position change. A right tackle before he was hurt, Pugh today played with the second unit at left tackle, where he started all 34 games in which he played at Syracuse.

Although he despised being idle, Pugh is hope-ful his time off didn’t impede his development. He said he can “definitely” quickly make up for lost time.

“I only missed, I think, two days in the meet-ing room and I was able to come back in and get that stuff working,” he said. “So obviously you lose out on two days of film, which is crucial, but to get back in there and spend a little extra time now to get back to where you should be.

“Obviously, missing the reps, that’s something that’s big. I wish I could get those back. But right now I’ve just got to go out there and play. I really can’t control that now.”

*Each of the Giants’ four quarterbacks played a quarter in Pittsburgh. In order, they were: Eli Manning, David Carr, Curtis Painter and rookie

Ryan Nassib. Offensive coordinator Kevin Gil-bride said today that a rotation will be difficult to retain in the future. The Giants host Indianapo-lis Sunday night.

“Next week is where it’s challenging,” Gilbride said, “because you want to play the young quar-terback as much as you can and yet you still have to split the time between David and Curtis and you’re going to extend Eli’s time. It starts to be-come more of a challenge, there’s no question, in the next couple weeks.”

*Gilbride praised Nassib, who completed just one of four passes in Pittsburgh.

“I think he’s played pretty well,” Gilbride said. “He actually did a nice thing. He didn’t get as much protection as some of the other guys got, but I thought he hung in there and I thought he was throwing the ball to the right spot. When he had the time, he made some good throws.”

Manning also endorsed Nassib’s performance.

“I thought Ryan made some good plays,” Man-ning said. “He was in a couple of tough circum-stances and made the best out of them, didn’t force the ball, didn’t turn the ball over, had some pressure, had some good movement in the pock-et, protected the ball. That first preseason game, you’re in there with a lot of guys in their first preseason game, so it’s not going to be always smooth sailing. There are going to be some bad plays, but I think it’s a great learning experience and I thought he made some good decisions and good plays.”

*Safety Antrel Rolle left practice early with an ankle injury. Coach Tom Coughlin did not im-mediately know the severity. Rolle got tangled up with tight end Bear Pascoe in a one-on-one drill.

“It’s obviously bothering him, so he’s getting checked out,” Coughlin said of Rolle. “It’s like a rebound drill… they step on each other’s feet. Honestly, I didn’t see it until I looked over and he was sitting down.”

First-year Giant Ryan Mundy worked with the first team in Rolle’s absence. Rolle has never missed a game since joining the Giants in 2010.

*Guard Chris Snee and cornerback Terrell

(2/2)

Thomas, both of whom came off the physically unable to perform list last week, had increased workloads today. Snee took some first team reps at his customary right guard position, while Thomas lined up as the nickel corner.

“(Thomas) got the green light to have more snaps and he did,” Coughlin said. “And he seemed to do okay with it, too. So hopefully that’ll give him some confidence, he’ll take some more. It’s time for all these guys that have been in this other category to get moving.” *Defensive end Justin Tuck practiced and split the first team reps at left end with Cullen Jen-kins. Tuck missed two practices and the Steelers game with tightness in his back. *Running back Ryan Torain returned to prac-tice after missing several days and the Pitts-burgh game with a concussion he suffered on Aug. 6.

“The guy we’re obviously trying to move along here is (James) Brewer, get Brewer back so we can get him in on some of these preseason op-portunities,” Coughlin said. Brewer also suf-fered a concussion last week.

*Two second-year pros – wide receiver Rueben Randle and tight end Adrien Robinson – com-bined to make several outstanding catches.

*Defensive end Damontre Moore (shoulder contusion), cornerback Corey Webster (sore-ness), guard Chris DeGeare (ankle) and wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan (soreness) did not prac-tice.

*Quote of the Day, from Coach Coughlin: “I was telling the coaches and the players that as of this morning we had nine practices left before the regular season. Can you imagine that? Nine practices. It’s ridiculous.”

*Attendance for the two most recent training camp practices: 1,203 on Thursday and 1,774 today.

*The Giants waived/injured wide receiver Kris Adams, who underwent surgery after fractur-ing his ankle in Pittsburgh. They signed wide receiver Marcus Harris.

Harris, who played at Murray State, is 6-1 and 187 pounds. He was in training camp with the Detroit Lions in 2011 and the Tennessee Ti-

tans last year. Harris was on the Lions’ practice squad for the final six weeks of the 2011 sea-son. In 2012, he played for Omaha in the UFL and the Iowa Barnstormers in the Arena Foot-ball League. He caught 94 passes and scored 19 touchdowns and also led the team with 65 kickoff returns.

Tyler Sash gets high praise for beard; still fighting for roster spot with GiantsBy Conor OrrThe Star-LedgerAug. 13, 2013

Tyler Sash had a pretty good day on Saturday.

After recovering a fumble, he got to speak with Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, the owner of quite possibly the most impressive beard in football.

Keisel told Sash he was impressed.

“After the game I did, I told him that my beard looked up to his beard,” Sash said. “And then I tweeted him that yesterday and he said I had a fine beard myself.”

In all seriousness, Sash is pushing to make the roster again this year amid a crowded field of safeties. Stevie Brown’s emergence, coupled with the addition of Ryan Mundy doesn’t help matters.

But Sash, an avid special teamer who’s been taking reps with the second-string defense, knows he’s capable of making the team.

“I’m approaching it the same way this year as opposed to last year,” Sash said. “Obvi-ously I wasn’t healthy and I missed the first four games (last year), so that didn’t help me out. This offseason I had surgery on both my ankles and it’s definitely helped me as far as running around and being able to move. Obviously playing safety and special teams, special teams is a whole nother game, it’s all just chaos the whole time and being able to change direction and stuff like that. Defense is a little more controlled, but with all the safeties I approach it the same way. Number 1, I’m healthy. I know what kind of football player I am and I know that I can help out on special teams or defense for any team in the league.”

Sash clarified that he got both ankles “cleaned out” after they were weighing on him a bit last year.

Giants’ rookie DE Damontre Moore hungry for more after impressive debutBy Dave HutchinsonThe Star-LedgerAug. 13, 2013

As NFL preseason debuts go, it couldn’t have gone much better than it did for Giants rookie defensive end Damontre

Moore.

Moore, a third-round pick out of Texas A&M, blocked the Steelers first punt of the game, setting up a field goal, and then he spent the rest of the game in the Pittsburgh backfield in the Giants’ 18-13 preseason win on Saturday night at Heinz Field.

Officially, he was credited with four tackles, three solo, and one quarterback hurry.

“I was happy,” Moore said today before practice. “It was a great experience. For it to be my first game and to have an impact like that, I was just overwhelmed with joy.”

The night started for Moore with him blocking a punt following the Steelers’ first possession, giv-ing the Giants the ball on the Pittsburgh five-yard line. The Giants, however, had to settle for a field goal.

“It (blocking the punt) gave me a lot of confidence to let me know I can come out there and make plays,” said Moore, who burst through and virtu-ally took the ball off the foot of Steelers veteran punter Brian Moorman.

“But at the same time, it gave me more motivation because I don’t want to feel that experience just once. I want to feel it multiple times. And then to see I helped put my team in a great situation, it wasn’t a better feeling that I could have.”

Moore, who exploded off the ball, unofficially notched at least a half-dozen quarterback pres-sures. He also displayed tremendous closing speed on plays. He once chased down a running back for a one-yard gain on a check-down pass.

Even so, Moore says there’s room for improve-ment. He knows the scouting report will soon circulate about his ultra aggressiveness.

“Containing the edge, not just being so one-track minded,” he said when asked what he needs to do better. “Really focusing on my assignment and not looking at the ball.”

Gilbride: Backup QB job up for grabs

“Having to block live for the first time, I thought they did a terrific job in chipping,” Gilbride said. “David did a tremendous job the first time. He missed the second time, but he was very physical on the other ones. That was very, very encouraging.”

Randle and Jernigan: Gilbride is extremely pleased with what he’s seen from Rueben Randle.

“He’s light years from where he was last year,” Gilbride said. “The consistency of per-formance, reacting the right way on all the different looks that you get, in the profes-sional ranks. That wasn’t at the level that you needed, but in terms of his work ethic, his leadership has been phenomenal, and he’s always had great hands. He’s always been a smooth route runner. He’s always going up and gotten any throw that was close.”

“In terms of making the right decisions off the coverages, he’s not being fooled,” he add-ed. “I mean, who knows what’s going to hap-pen, but I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t continue to play at a high level.”

And Gilbride praised Jernigan for his effort Saturday night. Jernigan had two receptions for 28 yards.

“He was excellent,” Gilbride said. “He ran a hook-and-up that he was wide open. He ran a corner route where he was wide open. Just couldn’t get him the ball. Biggest thing is he’s got to stay healthy.”

“He’s always shown glimpses, he’s always shown flashes,” Gilbride added. “As a coach, that’s what’s frustrating because you see it there and you want to get it out on a play-in, play-out, day-in day-out basis. He played really well, so, hopefully, that will continue.”

Aug. 13, 2013

Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride says there is a “legitimate” competi-tion to back up Eli Manning.

David Carr, Curtis Painter and Ryan Nassib are in the mix, and all three got snaps in the preseason opener. The expectation is that the Giants could keep three quarterbacks, with Carr and fourth-round draft pick Nas-sib behind Manning.

“I think there’s no question, it’s a legitimate competition,” Gilbride said.

The Giants have typically kept two quarter-backs on the roster in recent seasons, but that could change since Nassib likely needs time to be groomed.

“Most places do keep three,” Gilbride said. “We’ve been kind of a rarity, and we’ve kind of rolled the dice. But now, when you go with a young guy … drafted him to keep him, who knows what’s going to happen. But that’s what you would think would happen.

“Is he far enough along at the end of pre-season camp that you’re saying he can be No. 2 [on the depth chart]? That’s a long way from being decided, and if it’s not, then that will probably determine what the numbers are that we keep. We’ll keep three instead of two.”

Gilbride said Nassib has “played pretty well.”

“He didn’t get as much protection as some of the other guys got,” Gilbride said of Nassib’s preseason debut. “But I thought he hung in there, and he was throwing the ball to the right spot. When he had the time, he made some good throws.”

Good blocking: While the running backs didn’t gain much in terms of yardage against the Steelers, Gilbride was pleased with the way David Wilson and Andre Brown blocked.

NY Giants linebackers may not be Lawrence Taylor and An-tonio Pierce, but crew out to prove something this season

“I think that people may not know our names, but that doesn’t matter to us,” Herzlich said. “If we get the job done and we make those plays, that’s all we really care about. I think we have the talent, we have the size, we have the ability in the room to do all that.”

On Saturday night against the Steelers, the start-ing unit of Herzlich, Paysinger and Rivers — with Williams joining Paysinger in the nickel defense — did enough to keep Pittsburgh out of the end zone, but not enough to prevent several big runs. More worrisome was that their play went mostly unnoticed. There were no sacks, huge tackles, big pass defenses — not much of anything at all.

That’s not only un-Giant-like as far as linebackers are concerned, but it makes evaluating this group a problem. The Giants are crying out for someone to separate himself from the linebacking pack, because with less than four weeks remaining un-til the regular season opens they all seem pretty much the same.

“I feel like obviously it would be great if some-body jumped out and took the role of that next great Giants linebacker,” Paysinger said. “But for the most part I think this year we’re going to do it by committee. It doesn’t matter who (Coughlin) puts on the field. Hopefully those three guys do produce.”

And those guys might always be changing. With a group like this, jobs and roles are far from secure. “He might change up the lineups today, tomor-row. We don’t know,” Paysinger said. “We just know that whoever goes out on the field has to know their stuff.”

Time will tell if that’s enough, but both players concede defense is about more than that. Solid, unspectacular play can be good, but spectacular play is even better.

As Paysinger said, they want to prove to their de-fensive teammates that “you don’t have to look to the linebacking position as an area of weakness.”

Fans need a reason to believe, too.

“Yeah, that’s what we’re in the business of — mak-ing plays,” Herzlich said.

“It’s one thing to get the job done and get a win, but you want to stand apart from the pack a little bit.”

That’s also the only way to really prove the pack is any good.

The free-for-all that is the Giants’ linebacker competition didn’t get off to an inspiring start. The LBs gave a “steady” performance

on Saturday night, in the words of Tom Cough-lin, but an unspectacular one where no one really stood out.

That’s a good way to describe the whole, seven-man grab bag, too. It’s a group of steady players whose names alone don’t inspire confidence and whose careers have been, at best, good. There isn’t a Lawrence Taylor or Harry Carson or Brad Van Pelt among them. They are not the second coming of the Crunch Bunch.

But that doesn’t mean they’re going to be bad or that fans should be concerned.

“I mean, it’s natural for fans to kind of fear the un-known,” Spencer Paysinger, currently one of the Giants’ starting outside linebackers, told the Daily News. “Obviously the Giants have a great legacy in terms of linebackers and this is kind of scary territory for them because they don’t have a big-name linebacker to come in and pretty much set the tone.

“But just a word to the public: We have some ca-pable guys.”

They do have plenty of “capable” players compet-ing for spots on the roster and the three positions in the starting lineup. It could also be argued they have players with upside, the way that Jes-sie Armstead once had upside when he was an eighth-round draft choice in 1993 or the way that Antonio Pierce had it when he went completely undrafted in 2001.

Those two turned out to be pretty good in their day, and it’s entirely possible that the same will happen for Paysinger or Mark Herzlich, both of whom went undrafted in 2011, or Jacquian Wil-liams, who was a sixth-round pick that year. Or maybe Dan Connor or Kyle Bosworth, two cheap free agents, will prove to be a bargain. Or maybe Keith Rivers or Aaron Curry, two former top-10 picks, will have a revival season in the twilight of their careers.

To those outside the linebackers’ meeting room it seems like a lot to hope for. But inside, it seems more possible than impossible. Their Q ratings may be ridiculously low in the linebacker group, but their confidence is remarkably high.

Giants Look for Consistent Offense After Preseason Game Shows Holes

they finished in the middle of the pack in the N.F.L. in passing yards (12th), rushing yards (14th) and total yards (14th).

One thing they did excel at was making big plays, particularly passing the ball, and Sat-urday’s game showed that their potential in that department still exists. Quarterback Eli Manning connected with wide receiver Vic-tor Cruz for a 57-yard touchdown to give the Giants a 10-3 lead in the first quarter — a lightning strike in a rather ho-hum perfor-mance by Manning.

“We’re working on our timing,” Cruz said. “I’ve been working on my routes, crisp and clean, and that was just another step towards that.”

Likewise, Gilbride said he had been im-pressed with the second-year receiver Rue-ben Randle, who has looked good as the third option this training camp. Gilbride said he felt Randle was “light years” ahead of where he was last year.

“His work ethic, his leadership has been phenomenal, and he’s always had great hands,” Gilbride said, adding, “I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t continue to play at a high level.”

On paper, the Giants’ receiving corps — in-cluding a handful of young tight ends — ap-pears as dangerous as any in Gilbride’s ten-ure. Manning said he could overlook the fits and starts of Saturday’s game and feel con-fident in how the team should be capable of moving the football during the regular season.

“Your best game of the year is not supposed to be the first preseason game,” Manning said. “There’s going to be a lot of areas where you have new guys, and there’s things you can improve.”

The biggest offensive hurdle figures to be replacing the veteran running back Ahmad Bradshaw with Wilson and Brown, two young players still adjusting to the rigors of the league. Wilson has shown bursts in prac-

After practice Monday, Giants Coach Tom Coughlin quickly pointed out that there were only nine workout days remaining be-fore the regular season.

“Can you imagine that?” he asked. “Nine practices. It’s ridiculous.”

There is rarely enough practice time to sat-isfy Coughlin, but his distress indicated that he thought this Giants group still had a siz-able distance to cover before it passed his eye test for Week 1.

As they did last season, the Giants expect to rely on their offensive explosiveness, and Saturday’s preseason opener, an 18-13 vic-tory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, certainly presented a few optimistic flashes of poten-tial. It also exposed some noticeable pitfalls, particularly among the running backs, both in blocking and in holding onto the ball.

There was Andre Brown’s second-quarter fumble, a particular irritant for Coughlin. After David Wilson lost a fumble in the opener last season, he stayed in Coughlin’s doghouse for months.

And there were some missed connections, sloppy blocks and offensive sluggishness, all of which is to be expected in early August, but nonetheless did not leave the offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride particularly cheery after he reviewed the video.

“As a coach, you’re never happy,” Gilbride said, by way of laying out a disclaimer to re-porters Monday.

“I thought we were very inconsistent,” Gil-bride added. “When they started moving, we didn’t react nearly as quickly as you need to, to be an efficient, consistent offense. That was disappointing.”

Consistency was something that dogged the Giants throughout last season, and tellingly

tice, but managed just 16 yards on five carries Saturday. As a team, the Giants rushed for 84 yards on 33 carries.

After the game, Coughlin grumbled mostly about his team’s inability to move the ball on the ground consistently, as well as the offensive line’s performance picking up the Steelers’ blitz packages and the unit’s two turnovers.

But with three more preseason games and nine practices remaining, the Giants believe there is time to iron out the wrinkles.

“I’m happy with the guys we have,” Gilbride said. “You just hope you stay healthy and any-body that’s coming back from injury comes back all the way. If we do that, we should have a good group.”

EXTRA POINTS

Safety Antrel Rolle was carted off the practice field Monday after rolling his right ankle in pass coverage during a drill. Coach Tom Coughlin said Rolle would undergo a magnetic resonance imaging test to determine the extent of his in-jury. The Giants were already practicing with-out cornerback Corey Webster, who has a groin strain. ... Justin Pugh (concussion) and Justin Tuck (back) returned to practice after missing time last week. Pugh said his head had cleared and he expected to be ready to play in Sunday’s preseason game against Indianapolis.

Antrel Rolle injures ankle at Giants training camp

Rolle has been a leader on the Giants’ de-fense since he arrived with the team in 2010. He has played through various injuries, in-cluding ones to his shoulders and knee, and has never missed a regular-season or playoff game for the Giants.

Now the team might have to start the season without another of their best defensive play-ers. The status of Jason Pierre-Paul for the opener is already up in the air as he recovers from offseason back surgery.

Ryan Mundy took Rolle’s place at safety on the starting unit with Brown. The Giants have others who can provide depth at the position, including Tyler Sash and Will Hill (although Hill will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season).

“He’s a good, sound player,” Coughlin said of Mundy, who was signed as a free agent from Pittsburgh this offseason.

But when it comes to the team’s options, Coughlin made his preference clear.

“I would much rather have [Rolle],” he said. “Hopefully, it’s an ankle and he’s coming right back. That’s all I know.”

By Tom RockNewsdayAug. 13, 2013

The Giants could be without one of their starting safeties when the regu-lar season opens in a little less than

four weeks.

Antrel Rolle had to be held up with the sup-port of trainers and carted off the practice field Monday after injuring his right ankle in a drill early in the workout. Initial tests showed an ankle sprain, a source said, but there is no timetable for a return.

“It’s an ankle right now,” Tom Coughlin said before the initial battery of tests. “It was obviously bothering him, so he’s getting checked on . . . Honestly, I didn’t see it until I looked over and he was sitting down.”

Rolle was covering Bear Pascoe in a one-on-one drill when the two leaped for a pass from Eli Manning and Rolle came down awkwardly. He slowly rose to his feet and hopped to the sideline, where he went back down on the turf in pain.

“They step on each others’ feet,” Coughlin said. “It’s like a rebound drill. They step on each others’ feet.”

Trainers immediately tended to Rolle. The concern on the faces of defensive coordi-nator Perry Fewell and fellow safety Stevie Brown, who both squatted near Rolle, was apparent.

Rolle was eventually helped to his feet but needed to lean on trainers to walk to a wa-ter cooler about 25 yards away where he sat for a few moments. Soon a cart was used to bring Rolle inside the Giants’ facility.

“I’m sure he’ll get everything,” Coughlin said of the gamut of tests the Giants’ medical staff would perform, including an MRI. But Coughlin would not speculate on the seri-ousness of the injury. “I’m telling you what I know,” he said. “The guy got up and left the field. That’s all I know.”

New Role for Giants’ Tackle: Playing

the Giants are finally anxious to see what they have in Austin.

Yet even in his most prominent outing to date, Austin found a way to remain invis-ible. He didn’t show up in the official statis-tics from the game, failing to record a single tackle, and his presence at the heart of the Giants’ defense failed to stop the Steelers from rolling up 81 first-half rushing yards.

It was exactly the sort of nondescript dis-play that has characterized his Giants career so far. Austin’s initial quickness and brute strength made him a dominant performer in college, but his impact in the professional ranks has been negligible. Last year, he had no sacks or quarterback hurries. The scout-ing and statistical firm Pro Football Focus gave his run defense a grade of 0.0.

“He just can’t disappear when the pads come on,” defensive line coach Robert Nunn said at the start of training camp. “He knows what he’s got to do. I’ve spoken to him about it. When he gets out there under the lights he’s got to produce.”

Austin is aware that there’s pressure on him to produce. The Giants signed three veteran defensive tackles in free agency and drafted another, Johnathan Hankins, in the second round of the draft. Just two years ago, Austin was also a second-round pick, but he accepts that he is no longer a lock to make the 53-man roster.

Still, he remains positive that he can make a strong impression in upcoming preseason games. Austin says he is now fully recovered from a series of nagging injuries that limited his effectiveness last year. He underwent surgery after the season to repair a torn me-niscus in his left knee.

He also hopes to stand out by staying low to the ground. Austin has spent his off-season attempting to improve his posture and stand less upright at the line of scrimmage, which could allow him to play with greater lever-age and power.

“If I can get my pad level down and keep my weight right, I feel like I can be a dominant player in this league,” he said.

By Johnathan CleggWall Street JournalAug. 13, 2013

After two forgettable years in a Gi-ants uniform, Marvin Austin entered training camp knowing that the team

expected to see more from him this pre-season.

Until Saturday, he didn’t realize how much more.

In the Giants’ preseason opener in Pitts-burgh on Saturday, no defensive player spent more time on the field than Austin—an unexpected development for the third-year defensive tackle, who has found regular playing time hard to come by since he was drafted in 2011.

Heading into his third NFL season, with a logjam on the Giants’ defensive line and his professional future in doubt, it was the op-portunity he’d been waiting for. In all, Austin played 33 snaps against the Steelers, exactly half the total number faced by the Giants de-fense. He savored every one of them. It may have been merely an exhibition, but it was Austin’s most significant involvement in a football game since his junior year at North Carolina in 2009.

“I had no idea that I was going to be out there so much,” he said. “It was exciting to be out there playing again. It was definitely a big change for me.”

It’s no wonder Austin has grown accus-tomed to spending game days on the side-line. Since his final appearance for the Tar Heels, he has sat out two full seasons—his senior year in college due to suspension; his rookie year with the Giants through in-jury—and spent most of another struggling to get on the field.

In fact, Austin was so disoriented by his ex-tra workload Saturday that he spent most of the second half at Heinz Field preparing to be substituted. At the end of each play, he glanced back toward the Giants coaching staff, waiting to be summoned to the bench. For most of three quarters, the call didn’t come.

The extended playing time is evidence that

Missed chance magnifies Randle’s role with Giants

side the majority of the time, whether it was scripted or not, is definitely a humbling part in my life.’’

In 2011, Cruz was a big-play machine, aver-aging 18.7 yards per catch while finding the end zone on pass plays of 68, 72, 74 (twice) and 99 yards. Opposing defenses had to shade their coverage to Hakeem Nicks on the outside, allowing Cruz a healthy amount of single-coverage when he was operating out of the slot. Last season, as Nicks labored with foot and knee problems, defenses ac-knowledged Cruz was the Giants’ most dan-gerous threat and shifted accordingly. His per-catch average dipped to 12.7 yards and his long-distance scoring plays (an 80-yard-er and a 77-yarder) were greatly reduced.

Nicks didn’t play in the preseason opener; Randle started in his place. The big “if ’’ with the Giants’ offense centers on Nicks’ health, which is imperative to re-introduce Man-ning to the downfield success he craves, the success he had, on one play, in the first pre-season game.

“It’s good to know that we can get back to making plays when we need to,’’ Manning said.

Cruz knows he overcame the added atten-tion thrown his way in Pittsburgh, but also knows that won’t be the case most Sundays if Nicks cannot force defenses to pick their poison.

“As long as we’re out here healthy and on the same page, a lot of teams will have decisions to make,’’ Cruz said.

Those decisions will turn to nightmares if Randle hits the accelerator on the readily-apparent progress he has made this summer after an uneven rookie year. The Giants want to believe when they go three-wide, they can line Nicks and Randle up outside, put Cruz in his oh-so-comfortable slot position and spread any defensive backfield dangerously thin.

“I was here last year and I know how our of-fense works,’’ Randle said, “and if we’re on the same page with Eli, there’s going to be a lot of those kind of touchdowns. If you know this offense, if you know Eli, it will just fall into your hands.’’

By Paul SchwartzNew York PostAug. 12, 2013

At first glance, the one that got away appeared to be an overthrow by Eli Manning on a play the Giants could

have, and probably should have, struck gold with an 80-yard scoring pass.

A blitz by Steelers inebacker Lawrence Tim-mons was picked up by running back David Wilson, a very good sign for the Giants as the play started to develop Saturday night in Pittsburgh. Rueben Randle seemed to do his part, operating on the left side and glid-ing past cornerback Ike Taylor. Manning’s pass, though, sailed well beyond the reach of Randle.

Errant throw? Nope. My bad, said the sec-ond-year receiver.

“Just one of those plays you wish you had back,’’ Randle said. “If I came off the ball a little bit faster, I’d be able to get up to that ball. Just one of those things you have to live with and do better next time. I could have made that play. I feel I came off the ball a little too slow. Just got to do a better job next time.’’

Giants coach Tom Coughlin, a former re-ceivers coach, watched the tape and deter-mined Randle “could have released faster and they could have hooked up.’’ Coughlin, with some remorse for opportunity lost, added, “That would have been a nice thing to see.’’

Two plays later, Manning did hit Randle for a gain of 16 yards. Three plays after that, Victor Cruz was splitting cornerback Wil-liam Gay and safety Troy Polamalu to ignite a 57-yard catch-and-run for the Giants’ lone touchdown. It was a big play from an offense that slumped in that department in 2012 after setting new standards in quick-strike potency during the 2011 Super Bowl season.

The missed opportunity by Randle and the strike to Cruz are encouraging signs for the Giants as they seek to make the quick strike a bigger part of their attack. Cruz noticed Polamalu, “was lining up to whatever side I was on. ... I sensed him shading to whatever side I lined up on. To have him be on my

the fumble. Today, the coach confirmed as much.

“Well it concerns me, it naturally concerns me and it concerns Andre too,” Coughlin said. “Because it really was careless, I don’t care how much and how well he played the game, there are certain things that have to happen before you run the ball.

“Look the ball in, if it’s going to be a toss or pitch or pass, first you have to catch the darn thing and put it away and cover it up before you go on to the next objective. I’m sure he’s going to learn a lot from that, and to his credit, he went back in and did a lot of good things.

“The idea of looking the ball in, I don’t know how that escaped last night but to me, that was a big reason for the turnover.”

With a chance to look at the film, Tom Coughlin was able to ex-amine more closely the most

watched aspect of David Wilson’s game this offseason -- pass blocking.

The coach came away with some mixed thoughts; most notably that Wilson needs to step up against blitzing defenders more.

The cut block, an oft-utilized weapon for backs against charging defensive ends, is only effective in certain areas.

“He had a couple -- he had one very good cut block where he stepped up and took the blitzing linebacker on,” Coughlin said in a conference call on Sunday. “He tried to do the same (thing another time) and the line-backer stepped over him one time too. So he has to learn that you don’t cut people at the feet of the quarterback, that’s not going to accomplish anything.

“If you step up and pick up the slack and you’re far enough away from the quarter-back you can use it as a change up, but you’re going to have to stand in there. So he’ll learn that.”

Wilson will only be as good as his pass blocking gets, which is something the sec-ond-year running back knows all too well. The Giants can be far more versatile on the field if they don’t have to worry about Eli Manning taking heavy pressure when Wil-son is the lone back.

Coughlin added a complement about An-dre Brown’s pass blocking, too: “Andre did a good job of chipping last night and did a good job helping when it was obvious help was needed.”

Speaking of Brown, he knew last night that he would be in Coughlin’s dog house after

Giants rookie RB Michael Cox fires first salvo in bat-tle for third spotBy Dave HutchinsonThe Star-LedgerAug. 11, 2013

Giants rookie running back Michael Cox, a seventh-round pick out of UMass, is still scratching his head.

After watching him rush for 33 yards on nine carries, including runs of 11 and 12 yards, in his NFL preseason debut on Satur-day night against the Steelers, it reasons that others are as well.

In three seasons at Michigan, Cox carried the ball just 19 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns as dual threat quarterback De-nard Robinson dominated the football. He graduated early and was granted a special dispensation to use his final year of eligibil-ity at UMass as a graduate student.

“I couldn’t really tell you,” Cox told The Star-Ledger last week when asked what happened at Michigan. “I guess my position coach felt there were other guys who deserved to play more than me. I didn’t feel that way, person-ally.

“That (not playing) was really tough because I worked all year around. Then, come the season and not get the chance to play, es-pecially after having a really good offseason every year I was there. That was definitely disappointing.

“But I still made it to the NFL anyway.”

And he might stick.

Against the Steelers, Cox, who ran for 715 yards and five TDs on 198 carries last sea-son at UMass (1-11), fired the first salvo in a competition for the third running back spot with Da’Rel Scott and Ryan Torain.

Scott, in his third season, rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries vs. Pittsburgh and ap-peared to have left some yards on the field, allowing himself to get tripped up on arm tackles. Torain, a fifth-year pro, missed the game with a concussion.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin not pleased with run defense

line beat the Giants’ defensive line to the punch, exploding off the ball and getting its hands into the Giant linemen and control-ling them. The linebackers failed to fill the gaps.

At defensive tackle, the Giants shuttled in several combinations in an effort to stem the tide, but none was effective.

“Right off the bat, we were reached,” Cough-lin said. “(The Steelers) came out running the outside zone play. We didn’t get off the blocks, we didn’t get to a point where we could reject the (offensive) front and the ball carriers were able to flash and make yardage, and a couple of times they cut the ball back.”

It was a disappointing start for the Giants’ front seven. This offseason, the battle cry in both the defensive line room and the line-backer room was to stop the run. They’ve begun and ended meetings with that theme.

But Saturday’s game was a rerun of last sea-son.

“I think we’ll do a better job once we look at this tape and understand our gap responsi-bility,” Coughlin said. “This is going to con-tinue to be an objective for us.”

Perhaps most disappointing is that none of the Giants’ linebackers distinguished him-self. All three starting jobs are up for grabs. It’s the linebacker’s job to plug the gaps when the defensive linemen are double-teamed.

“I think there were flashes,” Coughlin said. “I really do. I don’t know if any one particu-lar individual made enough plays or a whole lot of plays in order for me to say (they stood out).

“But we didn’t give up a (defensive) touch-down. So somebody was doing a good job in there.”

By Dave HutchinsonThe Star-LedgerAug. 11, 2013

The Giants were all-in this offseason in beefing up a run defense that ranked 25th in the NFL last season.

They re-signed 6-foot-4, 350-pound de-fensive tackle Shaun Rogers. They drafted 6-foot-2, 320-pound defensive tackle Johna-than Hankins in the second round out of Ohio State. They brought back 6-foot-4, 323-pound starting defensive tackle Linval Joseph. They signed veteran defensive tack-les Cullen Jenkins (6-2, 305 pounds) and Mike Patterson (6-1, 300 pounds).

But little has changed in the early going.

In their first preseason game, the Giants’ first-team run defense had a 2-7 record in its efforts to contain the Pittsburgh Steel-ers’ ground game, according to coach Tom Coughlin. That’s two wins and seven losses.

“Our first defense had what we call two wins and seven losses against Pittsburgh’s run-ning game, and that was a big objective for us coming in,” Coughlin said Sunday during a conference call. “We have to shore that up and be able to stop the opponent’s run.”

That was Coughlin’s take after reviewing the tape of his team’s 18-13 victory over the Steelers on Saturday night at Heinz Field, in which his first-team run defense allowed 47 yards on nine carries over two series.

Steelers running back LaRod Stephens-Howlings, a former Arizona Cardinal signed to a one-year contract this offseason as a third-down specialist, ripped through the Giants for 40 yards on seven carries (5.7-yard average) in those first two series.

Stephens-Howlings, at 5-7, 185 pounds, went inside and off tackle. He bounced out-side and found daylight on cutbacks, which was an issue for the defense last season.

The problem was that the Steelers’ offensive

Giants’ Charles James, rookie cornerback, proud to shed a tear

and God can bust up his hand in the middle of his senior season, forcing him to dazzle scouts with a club at the end of his arm.

That just means he’s being prepped for something greater.

“God gives his toughest battles to his tough-est soldiers,” James said. “And I feel like I’m one of those guys — it’s going to be hard to knock me down.”

LOSING A MENTOR

When he needs reassurance, James will dial up Coach Hall just to hear the outgoing message.

Hi, you’ve just reached J.D. Hall, head coach, Mandarin High School Football.

J.D. Hall, the head coach at James’ former high school, taught his kids how to be pro-fessional. He made James wear a collared shirt and tuck it in. He fostered James’ dream of playing big-time college football.

Then, a few months before the start of James’ senior season, Hall died of a heart attack. He was 35. James had just seen him a few hours beforehand.

And I feel like I’m one of those guys — it’s going to be hard to knock me down.” -- Charles James“He displayed everything I wanted to be,” James said. “I just think about him a lot. He’s one of the ones who showed me what hard work looks like.”

There was still so much left for Hall to do. James grew up without his birth father and needed help. Academic issues clouded his college eligibility. The recruiting process was complicated, and spotty.

James did the only thing that made any sense to him at the time. His high school quarterback got a preferred walk-on at Charleston Southern so James enrolled, too, without any promises. He took out a massive student loan and met with then-head coach

By Conor Orr The Star-LedgerAug. 11, 2013

Charles James woke up from the crash slumped against the old Pontiac with the bald tires. His face was smeared

with blood and his mind kept commanding his mouth to repeat the same words over and over:

“God, please don’t let me die here.”

The roads were too slick for the sharp bend on New Kings Road in Jacksonville, Fla., and the car skipped over the median, making a beeline for a tree just off the other side of the street. James, then 19, heading into his freshman year of college, was in the passen-ger side and not wearing his seat belt.

In the eight minutes it took for the fire de-partment to arrive, James was unresponsive, blacked out while his friend who was driv-ing the car searched for signs of life. Doctors would later tell James he should have been catapulted through the windshield.

“(My friend) thought I was dead,” James, now 23, said. “He kept calling my name.”

When James, a Giants undrafted rookie cor-nerback out of Charleston Southern, puts on his helmet Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers for the preseason opener, he thinks he might cry. His life story might overwhelm him. He might think about the people closest to him that aren’t around to see it. He might think about waking up in the hospital next to his mother, grateful to be alive.

For so many players like him, the preseason is a time to make a name for yourself. It’s a time to earn a spot on the 53-man roster and prove the NFL is a goal worth pursuing. But then there’s James, who’s already certain.

The way he sees it, God can take away his role models and slam his car into a tree. God can leave him on a college campus sacked with $50,000 in student loans and no plan,

Jay Mills, who said James could come in for offseason workouts once his academic issues had been resolved.

This wasn’t the Florida Gators, but there was a coach and a football field. There was a stage to perform on and keep the dream alive.

“He made an impression right off the bat,” Mills said. “I don’t think he made it out of fall camp without a scholarship offer.”

Mills laughs when he thinks about it now. During the preseason conditioning tests, he had his players run sprints to make sure they came back in shape.

James ran them, and lapped the field. He did so while running backward.

“Yeah,” Mills said. “Conditioning tests for him were kind of a waste of time. He’d back-pedal in, or do it Karaoke style just to em-phasize that he was ready to go.”

Once the controllable elements in his life were in place, James thrived. He set the school’s career interceptions record and was a three-time, first-team All-Big South selec-tion. Twice, he was voted an All-American.

He picked off future top 20 selection E.J. Manuel in a game against Florida State in 2011 and returned the ball 39 yards to set up Charleston’s only touchdown. He picked off Illinois’ Reilly O’Toole a year later.

Those were the big school kids James was supposed to play with. He wasn’t fazed.

The production didn’t drop off after the seri-ous hand injury, either. Each week, he would play the opposing team’s No. 1 wide receiver.

“I’m God gifted, but I bring the work ethic to it,” James said. “I know if I didn’t work hard I wouldn’t be here. I can’t just wake up and be natural at everything.”

James arrived in New Jersey the day before rookie mini-camp and has already made a name for himself. At the end of the first week of training camp, secondary coach

Pete Giunta was asked for under-the-radar surprises.

James, whose strength in camp has been at the nickel spot, was the first name he men-tioned.

It only seemed right, like this was the payoff for everything he needed to go through. So excuse James if he breaks down a little just as he’s walking out of the tunnel tonight at Heinz Field, Hall’s voice in his head, the vi-sion of waking up in that hospital not too far behind.

“Some people may call me weak when I cry,” James said. “But if they only knew what I’d been through. And I’m just going to thank God for it.”

Giants’ running back Andre Brown takes nothing for granted

year tender, meaning there remains plenty at stake for him.

“[The 2012 season] was good and bad for me personally: good being as I finally got an opportunity to showcase my talent and real-ize that I can be a productive running back in this league; and bad because I got hurt,” Brown said. “So this off-season, you know, I realized that I have a role, so I’m looking forward to that, more as a running back and a leader and everything on that end.

“But it’s also a year where I also have to fight because it is a year that’s very important to me, and I’m just totally looking forward to it. I dropped weight, cleaned up my eating habits to stay healthy. The most important thing I want to do is finish 16 to 19 games and be ready to go every week, be ready to produce and be effective in this offense.”

Brown has added 6 pounds to his 6-foot frame, and now at 227, he said he feels “a little bit quicker and more explosive.

“To keep up with guys like Dave, you have to drop a little bit of weight,” joked Brown, who had just two career rushing attempts for mi-nus-1 yard before last season.

The starters are expected to play 12-15 snaps tonight, although it remains to be seen how coach Tom Coughlin will deploy touches for Brown and Wilson.

Brown’s roster spot for this season doesn’t seem in jeopardy, but his desire is to earn that kind of security going forward.

“This is motivation, definitely. I love New York. I love New Jersey. There’s no other place I’d rather be,” said Brown, an unre-stricted free agent after this season.

“The Giants drafted me. They brought me back. It was just a little adversity and the Gi-ants saw something in me, where they know I could do it and they were the ones that finally gave me a shot. They’ve seen what I can do. They knew what I can do and they waited for me to mature in this offense as a man. Now it’s time to unleash the beast.”

By Art StapletonThe RecordAug. 11, 2013

So much has changed in a year for Andre Brown.

He has gone from competing with D.J. Ware for a roster spot to battling David Wilson to be the No. 1 running back within what is po-tentially one of the NFL’s best offenses.

When you consider Brown has been waived eight times by five teams since being se-lected by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2009 draft, there’s something to be said for his resiliency heading into tonight’s pre-season opener against the Steelers.

“Every year has been a different type of chal-lenge, and the challenge this year, you know, is the biggest one yet,” Brown said. “Now it’s about attention to detail, reading the de-fenses, knowing the linebacker tendencies and knowing where the possibility of where a run’s gonna go pre-snap. It’s about just tak-ing my game to another level where I’m not thinking out there, I’m just reacting. It’s like, I’ve seen it, boom, and I’m reacting.

“Always have an answer to the test. I still feel like I’ve got a lot to prove.”

He paused before adding: “Nothing is guar-anteed in the NFL.”

Brown made the most of his opportunity last season, stepping into the spotlight when Ahmad Bradshaw got hurt and rushing for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in his first career start.

However, he broke his left leg in Week 12 against Green Bay and missed the final five games of what had been a breakout cam-paign to that point.

That was a cruel blow, for sure, but it could have been worse, considering Brown’s status as a restricted free agent in the off-season. The Giants still showed faith in the 26-year-old, whom they drafted out of N.C. State, and he re-signed for this season on a one-

Eli Manning says wide receiver Rueben Randle has ‘great talent’By Dave HutchinsonThe Star-LedgerAug. 11, 2013

It was the end of a disappointing season for the Giants but it appears to have been the beginning of a promising second

year for wide receiver Rueben Randle.

The Giants defeated Philadelphia in their season-finale a year ago but it wasn’t enough to earn them a playoff berth. But it marked a breakout game for Randle, who had four catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns.

The second-round pick out of LSU, who fin-ished with 19 receptions for 298 yards and three touchdowns last season, has used the game as a springboard to a productive off-season, one in which he has learned the nu-ances of the offense and as a result has taken his talents to another level.

“He has an understanding of our offense,” said quarterback Eli Manning, who hopes to connect with Randle tonight in the Giants preseason opener in Pittsburgh. “He has al-ways had natural ability.

“You tell him to run a go-route or run a comeback, he can do those things. But now he understands the concepts. Sometimes you run a certain route to get someone else open. He understands zone, what to do in man (coverage), what he has to do if it’s two-man versus two-zone and all the different reads and adjustments.”

That understanding has enabled the 6-foot-2, 208-pound Randle to play much faster and be more effective.

“He’s more sure of himself,” Manning said. “I’m more confident in what he does, read-ing his body language. He just has a better understanding of everything going on. He has really stepped up. He has great talent.”

Andre Brown ready for the doghouse

back, it was that play.”The play, though, may further the bond be-tween Wilson and Brown.

“We’re going to need each other,” Brown said. “We’re going to feed off each other this whole entire season. We’ve got to have each other’s back and it’s going to be a long sea-son. At the end of the day, I know I’ve got a good teammate and a good running back mate, and I know what we’re capable of do-ing and I know we’re going to be able to pro-duce.”

Aug. 11, 2013

Andre Brown knows what he’s in for this week.

“I know I can be in the doghouse when you fumble the ball, especially with Coach Coughlin, I know he’s going to be on me this week about holding onto the ball and my protection,” he said. “I mean, you know, I’m gonna look at it, learn from it, stay positive and make sure I go out here and be effective this week.”Brown’s fumble in the second quarter on a toss to the right from David Carr set the Steelers up at the Giants’ 44 and allowed them to kick a field goal that cut the Giants’ lead to 10-6. The initial drop of the pitch was bad enough, but Brown had a chance to recover the ball and was unable to secure it before a group of Steelers fell on him and stole it.

“His eyes never went to the ball,” Tom Coughlin said. “He never looked at the ball. He was looking at the rush and fumbled the ball. By the time he got to where he started looking for the ball, the defenders were on him. That was disappointing.”

Brown remained in the game and on the next series caught a pass from Carr.

“It got me right back in the flow,” Brown said. “You know you’re gonna have a fumble, but, you know, what you do the next play. How do you respond? I felt like I responded well.”

One person who knows what it’s like to fumble and not get the opportunity to make amends is David Wilson. Last year in the regular season opener he coughed up his second NFL carry and it was months before he was trusted to be in the backfield again. So it’s notable that one of the first players to approach Brown with words of encourage-ment after last night’s fumble was Wilson.

“Dave came over there and gave me a ‘Forget about it, put it behind you, make sure you go out there and run the rock,’” Brown said. “And I did it. If there’s one play I could have

Tight end Adrien Robinson may be hidden gem for Giants

“I felt like I caught up some and I was doing some things better as the season went on, but never completely,” said Robinson, who turns 25 next month. “We’d get to a certain week and I’d be like, ‘Wow, I don’t remem-ber doing that in camp,’ mainly because we didn’t do it since camp. Looking back, that’s probably the biggest reason why I didn’t play much last year.

“I never really knew the offense and then the season was over.”

Robinson is making up for lost time on the practice field, wowing with his combination of size and speed as a downfield target while also showing some physicality as a blocker.

He has mostly participated with the second-team offense, but over the past few days his reps with the first-team – and quarterback Eli Manning – have increased.

With Bennett gone via free agency to the Bears, the Giants brought Brandon Myers and his 79 catches from last season with Oakland into the fold.

Myers has worked with Robinson on his re-leases as a receiver.

Robinson answered any questions Myers had early on with the playbook – something that would have been unthinkable a year ago.

“The quarterback is starting to find him. He is hard to miss – he is the tallest tree in the forest out there,” Pope said this spring.

“So he is a good target.”

Robinson never caught more than 12 passes in any season in college and did not record a reception in games against Dallas and Cleveland as a rookie.

That seems on the verge of changing dras-tically this season, which begins Saturday night with the Giants’ preseason opener against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

“As a player,” Robinson said, “right now it’s like night and day for me.”

Because of that, the Giants believe they’ve found a hidden gem.

By Art StapletonThe RecordAug. 11, 2013

Adrien Robinson was lost.

This was the third day of his rookie training camp last summer and nothing was going right. He was a step slow, missing sim-ple assignments, and worst of all, dropping passes even though he was wide open in the middle of the field against ghost defenses.

With his confidence waning just 72 hours in, Robinson stayed after practice with tight ends coach Mike Pope, and a catching drill between the two lasted for about 30 minutes.

Even more so than bettering his hands, Pope went to work on his psyche.

“It’s like I didn’t take Algebra I and I was stuck in Algebra II,” Robinson said. “That’s kind of how it was for a while. I felt pressure because I was brought in as a fourth-round draft pick. I wanted to prove that they made a good decision, and things weren’t working out for me.

“It was a little frustrating, but Coach Pope told me [to] take as much as I could from the experience. Watch Martellus [Bennett]. Watch Bear [Pascoe]. Learn.”

And wouldn’t you know it – Robinson start-ed to find his game soon after.

He got more comfortable as the season pro-gressed, and despite being inactive for all but two games, the foundation to a promis-ing future was established.

A year later, the 6-foot-4, 264-pound tight end is displaying the raw potential that led general manager Jerry Reese to call him on draft day the Jason Pierre-Paul of tight ends.

Robinson faced a nearly impossible situ-ation last year, forced to miss most of the spring team activities – veteran minicamp included – because of class obligations at the University of Cincinnati. By the time he re-ported to training camp with the rest of the Giants, it was as if he was ready for the first day of school and everyone else was taking midterms.

NY Giants head coach Tom Coughlin not alone in believing in the power of inspirational adages

these efforts inevitably come up short.

Rex Ryan guaranteed a Super Bowl, which didn’t work out too well. John Tortorella, recently fired, wouldn’t let anybody step on the Rangers’ sacred logo on the carpet and posted this phrase in the training center: “Everyone wants to win. Not everyone is willing to prepare to win.”

Mike Woodson placed a picture of the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy above each and every Knick locker at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks were knocked out in the second round of the playoffs. On the wall of the Nets’ training center, for several years, there is a sign declaring, “It’s our time.” It hasn’t been their time, not even close.

The most successful inspirational image, as judged by championship banners, probably was the simple phrase posted above the tun-nel leading from the clubhouse to the field, at the old Yankee Stadium.

“I’d like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee” — Joe DiMaggio.

Derek Jeter made off with that particular placard just before the old stadium was de-molished. He still seems to be taking it to heart.start, he subbed for Nicks and caught two scoring passes in the season finale against the Eagles. The Giants envision Randle as a future starter and, though they certainly want to keep Nicks after this season, the level of play Randle displays will enter in the decision-making process.

When GM Jerry Reese installs a Super Bowl countdown clock in the Giants’ locker room, as he

promises, it won’t be the only motivational image in the East Rutherford training com-plex. Tom Coughlin, like many coaches, is a big believer in the power of inspirational adages. Examples are posted throughout the corridors of the Timex facility, and a couple of them are rather lengthy treatises.

There is, for example, the “Big Blue Warrior Creed: Keep your eye on the prize. No chal-lenge too difficult. No sacrifice or self-denial too great. Team first. Athleticism. Focus. Anticipation. Hustle.”

And down the hallway from that, “Work hard, do your best, speak the truth, assume no airs, trust in God, have no fear.”

Do these images and axioms really work, or are they just empty symbols and platitudes? None in an admittedly small sampling of three Giant players last season could actu-ally repeat the Big Blue Warrior Creed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it doesn’t have some subliminal impact.

“You can have positive brainwashing,” says Rob Gilbert, a professor of sports psychol-ogy at Montclair State. “The best examples of how it works are the 12-step groups, the serenity prayer and even advertising. The most effective inspirational phrase of all might have been Nike’s, ‘Just do it.’

“This is advertising for yourself,” Gilbert says, offering more examples. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will be among the stars… Hard work beats talent when tal-ent doesn’t work hard.”

Almost all the professional coaches in our area employ some form of inspirational im-ages, pep talks or posted phrases. Unfortu-nately, since only one team in each league actually ends up winning the title, most of

Andre Brown commits turnover during NY Giants preseason game, but insists it won’t eat him up

“Yeah, it’s the first game for a lot of guys,” he said. “Even for myself.”

Nassib called it “first-game jitters” for the band of fourth-stringers he tried to lead three drives in the quarter, although he also added any NFL jitters were “unacceptable.” It was all definitely unacceptable for Cough-lin, who admitted the fourth-round pick from Syracuse barely had a chance.

“We have to let Ryan play some,” Coughlin said. “He was chased all over the place. He didn’t have a whole lot of time. We need to work on that.”

VICTOR-Y DANCEYes, Victor Cruz’s touchdown celebration was a little different than his previous TD dances. No, the salsa’s not going anywhere.

After Cruz hauled in a touchdown pass late in the first quarter, the wideout did a few steps of the salsa. Then, he seemed to wave it away with his hands, before forming his typical hand-signal shoutout to his new pal Jay-Z. But that wasn’t meant to signal a changing of the celebratory guard. He still plans to continue to salsa, a tribute to his late grandmother, during the regular season.

“It was just preseason,” he said. “I did a little two-step. I didn’t want to give it the full gam-ut just yet, just because it’s the preseason. The salsa is still going strong.”

Andre Brown hoped to make an im-pression in Saturday night’s 18-13 preseason win to the Steelers at

Heinz Field. He did, but it was a bad one as he lost a fumble.

Early in the second quarter, on second-and-4 from the Steeler 49, Brown took a toss from David Carr, but he immediately bobbled the ball, which landed on the turf. Brown tried to pounce on the ball, but it was recovered by Steelers linebacker Jarvis Jones.

Tom Coughlin called the play “disappoint-ing,” and Brown, who will compete with sec-ond-year runner David Wilson for carries in the Giants backfield, didn’t argue.

“Just took my eyes off the ball. Didn’t look it in,” he said. “Anytime the running backs put the ball on the floor, it’s very disappoint-ing. All you can do is make sure you hold on tight to it and be ready next week.”

Despite the miscue, Brown will play a major role in the offense. Perhaps because the Gi-ants still don’t trust Wilson in pass protec-tion (he was kept in as a pass-blocker just once in the first quarter), Brown handled third-down back duties against Pittsburgh. He finished the night with four carries for 23 yards.

STRIFE OF RYANRyan Nassib’s career got off to a nightmar-ish start when he entered the game early in the fourth quarter. The rookie’s first drive featured a false start by one his offensive linemen, a sack, a delay-of-game penalty and then a bad snap (by tackle-turned-cen-ter Matt McCants) that went over Nassib’s head and was recovered by the Steelers for a touchdown. Then there was a hold on the next drive followed by another sack.

Interesting development: TE Larry Don-nell worked as a fullback with the second offense.

The key for players who may be on the roster bubble is to make it difficult to send them packing. There are plenty

of safeties vying for spots on the Giants and the situation might be tough for Tyler Sash, but he certainly helped himself in last night’s 18-13 preseason victory over the Steelers. Sash, entering his third year with the Giants, was all over the field in a performance that greatly helped his cause. He broke up a pass to tight David Paulson in the second quarter and made two huge plays in the third quar-ter. He stormed in on rookie quarterback Landry Jones for a sack in the end zone, giv-ing the Giants a safety and a 15-6 lead. Not long after that play, Sash recovered a muffed punt by David Gilreath, who dropped the ball as long-snapper Zack DeOssie barreled into him.

What figures to also help Sash stick on the roster is that another safety, Will Hill, will be suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

***

The Giants were hit with injuries to two players who were long-shots to make the final roster. WR Kris Adams suffered a frac-tured lower left leg on the second play of the third quarter and G Chris DeGeare was forced out with a right knee injury that Tom Coughlin said is an MCL sprain. … Cough-lin was able to get all four quarterbacks in the game in this order: Eli Manning, David Carr, Curtis Painter and rookie Ryan Nas-sib. It was an exceedingly rough debut for Nassib. His first series went like this: False start, sack, delay of game, bad snap for Steel-ers touchdown. His only completion was a 29-yard pass to Julian Talley that helped set up Josh Brown’s 47-yard field goal. “He was chased all over the place,’’ Coughlin said of Nassib. … DE Adewale Ojomo had 1.5 sacks in the fourth quarter.

Serby’s Sunday Q & Q with... Damontre Moore

on that.

A: You’re going up against another man, and I think this might just play into the whole masculinity thing in being a dominant al-pha male, but I love it when people under-estimate me and say that I can’t do this or do that, and then I’ll just prove them wrong and then just do something that they didn’t believe. ... [Then] they just got a whole new outlook on you, and it’s like you made them quit, and this game is about being aggres-sive — only the strong will survive. I pride myself on being a survivor, and not being defeated.

Q: Who gave you the nickname Damonster?

A: It’s funny, my aunt gave me my nickname when I was little. I used to always watch like “Loony Tunes” and Tasmanian Devil. She used to say I used to go around being very destructive and she would call me Monster when I was little just ’cause I was always breaking something or always into some-thing. And then my freshman year in college [at Texas A&M], we played Louisiana Tech on my birthday, I got like three sacks in that game, and I guess a reporter just started call-ing me Damonster.

Q: Describe your on-field mentality.

A: I’d probably just say relentless. ... I don’t like losing that often.

Q: Describe playing for the New York Gi-ants.

A: Everybody’s genuine around here, they really care about you. And then they have a winning tradition. Who wouldn’t love that? I feel like it’s the perfect situation. They have a history of having great pass rushers, so to pick a lot of those guys’ brains, and people that are still here, it’s like a dream come true.

Q: Playing in New York.

A: It’s breathtaking. There’s countless movies that you see that represent New York. It’s this fast-pace place and when you get here, it ac-tually is as fast as you see in the movies. And they have so much to offer here, you don’t know what you want to do, you’re just in awe trying to take it all in.

Rookie Giants defensive end took a timeout during training camp for some Q&A with Post columnist Steve

Serby.

Q: How do you feel about quarterbacks in general?

A: I mean, they’re all right off the field, but I mean, on the field, that’s my No. 1 enemy.

Q: Who are some of the quarterbacks you’re looking forward to sacking?

A: All of ’em (smile). Whoever I can get my hands on.

Q: What is so great about a sack?

A: It’s hard to explain. They’re trying to go deep, and go long, and all of a sudden the quarterback’s not paying attention to you, and then you just get the sack. ... There’s nothing more humiliating, because first of all, you done put a good lick on the quarter-back, now he’s gonna be constantly be look-ing at you or nervous trying to figure out where exactly are you coming from, and it can mess up his read progressions. ... A sack can just change the whole game by a swing in momentum or just getting in that quar-terback’s head.

Q: What’s better: sacks or sex?

A: (Laugh) Oh man! That’s a hard question. ... I don’t know. ... I’d probably go with sacks.

Q: Sacks?

A: For right now. That can come with time, you can do that later on. You only got a cer-tain amount of time to play this game. Es-pecially with me leaving college early, like I don’t get the extra year of college, and then you never know when your last play is gon-na be in this game. ... It can end tomorrow for all I know, and then all I’m gonna have is the memories so, right now I’m gonna take the sacks (smile).

Q: From your Twitter page: “I make my op-ponents quit by taking their will.” Elaborate

Q: Have you met Michael Strahan?

A: No, I’ve talked to him on the phone.

Q: How do you know him?

A: Jessie Armstead, he’s like my mentor, since we grew up kinda in the same neigh-borhood. One day I was sick, and I missed one day of OTAs or something, and Jessie was like, “Yeah, he was up here,” and he was gonna introduce me that day. ... I’m waiting to actually meet him in person now.

Q: What did Strahan tell you?

A: Just saying that he heard good things about me, and just work your butt off and all things’ll come, and then he can’t wait to get up here and just give me a couple of point-ers and stuff, so I was real excited about that.

Q: “Eat Greedy” ... what does that mean?

A: Never be full, never be satisfied, always be hungry. It’s like the old saying, “A hungry dog hunts best.” Always striving for more and never being complacent, ’cause once you get complacent, you will get replaced.

Q: How did that start?

A: I don’t even know. It was just like a saying or a term in Dallas that a lot of people used to say.

Q: You call Broncos linebacker Von Miller your brother.

A: We built up a close bond. [Miller and his parents] just looked out for me while I was in college. They just took me under their wing ever since then. They call me their son, and so those are my godparents and he’s like my godbrother.

Q: Three dinner guests?

A: Will Smith; Charles Haley; my mom.

Q: Why Charles Haley?

A: He was a great football player, and I mod-el my game after him. Sit there and just pick his brain, get some secrets or something from him. When he came into the league he was real small. He was, if I’m not mistaken, he was like 230, 240, around that range, so he always played light, and same here.

Q: Describe your mom.

A: She’s one of the most loving, caring per-sons that I know, but also at the same time, one of the most disciplinary persons that I know too. When she’s mad or upset I call her Old Yeller — she’s like 6-foot, light-skinned, and when she gets mad like instead of being yellow she just turns like bloodshot red.

Q: The angriest you’ve ever seen her?

A: She gets really mad when I joke around with her when she’s sleepy. I’ll come in there while she’s sleeping and I’ll lick like the side of her face, like her whole face, and she gets real sensitive and mad about that (smile), she turns red like immediately.

Q: What was her reaction when you were arrested for marijuana possession in June 2011?

A: She was disappointed and heartbroken. She did what any mother would do: “You made the mess, now let me try to help you fix it and let’s learn from it.”

Q: Did you apologize to her?

A: I was more hurt that I hurt my mom than anything. Of course, I apologized for it, but ... you just handle the situation.

Q: Was that the worst moment of your life?

A: It’s up there.

Q: Who’s tougher, your mom or Coach Tom Coughlin?

A: I’m more afraid of her than Coach Cough-lin (smile).

Q: Your impressions of Coach Coughlin?

A: He’s real cool ... real strict. ... He just re-minds me of [former Texas A&M] Coach [Mike] Sherman.

Q: Growing up in Oak Cliff in Dallas?

A: It was good days and there were bad days just like any other place. Every place has their ups and downs, it just depends on how you look at it.

Q: You were there for how long?

A: I was around 12, going on 13.

Q: How did you avoid trouble there?

A: I had good parents that didn’t let me fall into the influences.

Q: Best practical joke you’ve played?

A: My little brother was sleeping, I put hot sauce like all on his lips, and it dried up and so when he woke up that next morning, he was just like licking his lips and his tongue kept burning, and he couldn’t figure out what was going on (chuckle).

Q: You’re a big “Lion King” fan.

A: I was a big “Lion King” fan when I was little. I used to watch it all the time. I can remember having the “Lion King” tent and being in my living room watching the “Lion King,” dressed up in my costume. And I went to see it here on Broadway. It was a magical experience (smile). I was a kid all over again. I was singing the songs, like I remember some of the old songs from when I was little.

Q: You would dress up as a lion?

A: Yeah, I had the Simba outfit and every-thing when he was a young cub, and I had my little “Lion King” outfit. I went dressed as Simba maybe two or three years in a row, and then eventually I got too big for my cos-tume.

Q: You were dressed up for Halloween?

A: Halloween I was dressed up. ... Sometimes I’d just throw on my costume and just be sit-ting in the living room watching the movie.

Q: “Teen Wolf ”?

A: I just love the whole vampire and were-wolf-kinda thing.

Q: Favorite tattoo on your left forearm?

A: My cross with two army dog tags and a red and a blue rose. My two grandpops that passed away, they both were in the Army, and both of ’em meant a lot to me, and they taught me a lot of stuff growing up, so when they passed away, I was real upset and heart-broken. I feel like they passed away too early before they really just got to see me succeed and just do great things. We had blue roses at one of my grandpop’s funeral , and we had

red roses at the other one. We still actually have the roses put up in the memory books.

Q: Favorite movie?

A: “Bad Boys II.”

Q: Favorite actor?

A: Will Smith.

Q: Favorite actress?

A: Jada Pinkett.

Q: Favorite meal?

A: Fried pork chops, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes and gravy with greens and chitlins. And peace cobbler with va-nilla ice cream.

Q: Where do you get that?

A: My granny makes it back at home.

Q: What’s your weight?

A: 262.

Q: Have you gotten stronger since the com-bine?

A: Oh yeah.

Q: Are you going to take it out on the teams that passed on you in the draft?

A: I’m taking that out on whoever my op-ponent is that weekend, it doesn’t matter (smile).

Q: What drives you?

A: My family drives me. The want-to and the will to make my family name, make them proud of me and not just be another statistic or something like that. And just my competitive nature just drives me. I want to be the best at what I do. And then self-gratification when you sit there and you’ll be like, OK, I did something that people thought was impossible or said that I couldn’t do, and then you worked your butt off and then you actually succeed — that’s a reward in its own self.

Damontre shows his ‘DaMonster’ alter ego

When the Giants drafted Moore, they fig-ured his quickest way toward being active on game days would be on special teams. But Moore showed he can potentially be a factor in the pass-rushing rotation. After Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka, the Giants need a fourth pass-rusher to step up. They have used tackle Cullen Jenkins at defensive end, but Adrian Tracy and Moore are competing to be a part of the rotation.

Tuck raved about Moore’s potential last week. Moore might be ready to contribute this season.

“I feel like it was all right,” Moore said of his performance. “There is always room for improvement. I made a lot of mistakes out there. I’m just ready to watch some film and get better.”

Aug. 11, 2013

The New York Giants might have yet another young, talented pass-rusher on their hands.

On Saturday night, Damontre Moore con-tinued an impressive training camp with an outstanding preseason debut in the Giants’ 18-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Moore blocked a punt and had four tackles -- one for a loss -- one quarterback hit and a couple of pressures. He also disrupted short passes to running backs.

“Moore obviously was a problem for Pitts-burgh,” coach Tom Coughlin said. “He keeps coming and he likes it.”

The Giants drafted Moore in the third round from Texas A&M, at which he had 26.5 sacks in three seasons. But Coughlin said Moore needed to improve his work habits during the week leading up to games. Con-sidering that he’s only 20, Moore figured to be more of a prospect for the near future than a rookie who could come in and make an instant impact.

But thus far, Moore has shown he could be more than just a prospect to develop. He was a presence with his speed, which was on dis-play when he exploded out of nowhere and made a leaping block on a fourth-and-29 punt at the Steelers’ 17 with 11:27 to go in the first quarter.

Louis Murphy recovered the punt and got the Giants to the Pittsburgh 5-yard line. Though the Giants had to settle for a field goal, Moore had already made a monster play that only seemed fitting for a player nicknamed “DaMonster” in college.

“I just ran in and got a little hitch step and I was there to make a play,” Moore said. “It was all surprising to me. I’m just glad Coach put me in a great situation.”

Cruz, Eli pick up where they left off

what midseason form so early on.”

Cruz, 26, is entering his third season as a starter. He has had at least 82 catches, 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns receiving in the past two seasons.

After months of stalled negotiations, Cruz came to terms with the Giants on a six-year, $45.879 million contract. Despite the new contract, Cruz didn’t feel any added pressure to prove that he’s worth the money.

“It didn’t really feel any different,” Cruz said of playing with the new contract. “This time, it was relaxed. I didn’t feel any pressure. I didn’t feel like I had to go prove something. I felt like I was out there playing my game.”

Manning certainly hopes there will be more big plays to come with Cruz.

“We’ve hooked up on a lot of passes over the years,” Manning said. “So it’s good to get off to a good start. It’s good to know that we can get back to making plays when we need to.”

Cruz never felt he had to make up for lost time from the missed practice sessions ear-lier this offseason.

“Me and Eli just have such a great rapport that we can go out there and I’ll be on the same page,” Cruz said.

Aug. 11, 2013

Victor Cruz spent the majority of his offseason away from the New York Giants’ practice facility, due to con-

tract negotiations.

Cruz never stopped working out -- but he wasn’t catching passes from Eli Manning, either. On Saturday, in the Giants’ preseason opener at Pittsburgh, Cruz and Manning made it look like they never missed a single offseason practice together.

On a third-and-4 from the Giants’ 43, Cruz ran down the seam of the Steelers’ defense, past the secondary and caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from Manning near the end of the first quarter to propel the Giants toward an 18-13 win.

Victor Cruz delivered the biggest play of the Giants’ victory on Saturday night.Cruz celebrated with an abbreviated version of his trademark salsa dance. The real dance is reserved for the regular season.

“Just did one or two steps,” Cruz explained. “Didn’t want to give it the full gamut just yet because it is the preseason. [But] the Salsa is still going strong.”

Cruz certainly showed that on his touch-down catch. He got past William Gay and slipped by Pittsburgh safeties Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark on the way to the end zone.

Even though it was his only catch of the night, Cruz showed that he has not missed a beat with Manning despite the receiver’s absence from OTAs and minicamp.

“You kind of feel good, and you kind of feel like you are still in the swing of it,” he said of his touchdown catch. “It felt good for me and Eli to be on the same page. He read my body [language] perfectly, and the ball was placed right where it needed to be.

“It feels good to kind of be in, I guess, some-

Head Coach Tom Coughlin August 12, 2013

Q: How’s Antrel Rolle? A: Ankle right now, but it’s obviously bothering him, so he’s getting checked out. Must have stepped on- they step on each other’s feet. It’s like a rebound drill… they step on each other’s feet. Honestly I didn’t see it until I looked over and he was sitting down. Q: So he’ll probably get an MRI on that? A: I’m sure he’ll get everything, yeah. Q: I know you don’t have the results yet but do you have an indication whether it’s something serious or just something? A: I’m telling you what I know. The guy got up and left the field and that’s all I know. Q: Corey Webster practice today? A: No, he’s got a little soreness and so we just held him. Hopefully it’ll be quick. Q: On the flip side, it looked like Terrell Thomas got the most work since he’s been out here. A: He got the green light to have more snaps and he did. And he seemed to do okay with it, too. So hopefully that’ll give him some confidence, he’ll take some more. It’s time for all these guys that have been in this other category to get moving. I was telling the coaches this morning and the players that as of this morning we had nine practices left before the regular season. Can you imagine that? Nine practices. It’s ridiculous. Q: How’d Justin Pugh come through today? A: Seemed to do well. Seemed to have no issues. And (Ryan) Torain as well. Torain practiced. The guy we’re obviously trying to move along here is Brewer, get Brewer back so we can get him in on some of these preseason opportunities. Q: Did Damontre Moore work at all? A: No, he has a contusion of his shoulder. And I think he’s probably day to day, but he’s sore, he’s sore. Q: How about getting Justin Tuck back? A: Yeah, he’s back out at practice. Q: Can you talk about the maturity that Damontre Moore has shown thus far in going about his job and how that’s helped him? A: This is where you see it the most is right here on the field. He obviously enjoys playing and he plays hard, which is a tribute to him and his coaches. But he works on special teams, he covered kicks the other night well, he blocked a punt, he obviously

played well in the game. Some of the mental errors that happened we have to eliminate, but he’s worked hard. Q: I know you’ve addressed this in the past but with Pugh and the amount of time he had to stay inactive, just in your overview of how long you’ve been around the league, just how much that protocol has changed and how much more patience you have to show and how different it would have been maybe when you first came in the league? A: Well, the first day that it happened I was asked a question if it was ‘one of those.’ No, it wasn’t an iffy thing. He had a headache and he was a little bit nauseous, so that was the direction he was headed in. There wasn’t any question. So whether it was back in the 80s or now, those symptoms like that would have been recognized and the player would have been out. Now, did we have all these protocols? I don’t know. You’ll have to ask the medical people. But we didn’t get him back until those things cleared, even back in those days. The sun bothering them, the headaches, the light issues, the balance issues; when a guy was free from those types of things, then he was back on the field. But today there’s a very rigid protocol and they have to pass it all. If it lingers, there’s other things that have to be stressed. There’s always a possibility of another doctor being involved. So it’s a very sound precaution for people that have had that. The one thing that bothers us in this is that when you look at something that doesn’t look violent, and you have those kinds of symptoms. It scares the heck out of you as a coach. These things happen. They happen in the most unusual of ways sometimes. Q: I think I read that the first day he got hurt he had been taking some snaps with the first team. A: Well I don’t remember that. Q: But obviously he’s going to have to work back to that level. A: Today he played with the seconds and the thirds. Q: With the lack of tackling, do you think it takes the run-defense a little longer to get where it needs to be? A: There weren’t a lot of aspects of the game the other night that we looked like we didn’t tackle well. Our special teams tackled pretty well. It’s not just the tackling. It’s timing, it’s getting off the ball, it’s your quickness, it’s your ability to avoid the blocker or at least know where the head is headed and get yourself in position; it’s a lot of things. And it happens at game speed. We’re trying to speed it up out here to get to that. And now that they’ve played a game, I hope that that’s going to take place. But it’s a reality. It’s faster. The game is faster than practice. It just is. Q: Despite what happened with Rolle, do you like the depth that you have at safety behind him? A: Well, I would much rather have him. Hopefully it’s an ankle and he’s coming right back. That’s all.

Q: You plugged in Ryan Mundy right after he went down. Can you…Mundy? A: Yes. He’s a good, sound player. Q: You also used Aaron Ross at safety in the red zone. A: …the corners end up at center field. Q: So he’s still at cornerback, just moved more inside? A: There wasn’t a position change. Just a defensive scheme. Safeties down closer, corners playing coverage.

Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride August 12, 2013

Q: Your impressions with the first week? A: I think as a coach, you’re never happy. There were a few more mental errors than I had really expected, even though I know schematically they’re moving around, they’re blitzing, and they certainly did an excessive amount of that. I thought that we would handle it more consistently than we did. We were very inconsistent. It wasn’t that they didn’t know who to block, it was that when they started moving, we didn’t react nearly as quickly as you need to, to be an efficient, consistent offense. That was disappointing and I shared that with our team today. That is something we’ve got to advance if we’re going to become the offense that we hope to become. There were some good things. We obviously made a couple of big plays. I thought the fact for our backs, having to block live for the first time, I thought they did a terrific job in chipping. The few times that he had to step up, I thought David (Wilson) did a tremendous job the first time, he missed the second time, but he was very physical on the other ones. That was very, very encouraging. Andre did a nice job. Next week we will see a little bit more with the first. It seemed like we just got the two drives in. One was right away, I don’t think we were ready for the red zone and they stuffed us. The next drive was obviously good. Q: … four quarterbacks is not easy. A: Yeah, it’s not, but it wasn’t a problem. It was nice for the first game because you play them each a quarter essentially. We had our plays that we wanted to get. Numerically we’d like to get about this amount for Eli, this amount and pretty much you play it out that way. Next week is where it’s challenging because you want to play the young quarterback as much as you can and yet you still have to split the time between David and Curtis and you’re going to extend Eli’s time. It starts to become more of a challenge, there’s no question, in the next couple weeks. Q: How did Nassib do? A: I mean, I think he’s played pretty well. He actually did a nice thing. He didn’t get as much protection as some of the other guys got, but I thought he hung in there and I thought he was throwing the ball to the right spot. When he had the time, he made some good throws. Q: Do you see the backup job as a competition? A: I think there’s no question, it’s a legitimate competition. Q: Your offense is known to be kind of complicated for wide receivers, especially as they’re trying to pick it up. How quickly has Louis Murphy picked it up? A: We teach guys to get open. That’s where the complication comes, where sometimes they have guys run a twelve-yard curl and that’s what they have to do in other systems. We give them some flexibility to react to the way the defensive technique is being employed. With that flexibility comes the responsibility that, A., do it in a way that the quarterback can interpret and that’s why we meet every practice as a group and I go on to speak so that everybody sees things the same way. And, two, that not only does your body indicate what you’re doing, but

that you make the right decision. In that sense it takes a little bit of time. I think, as you see, most of the receivers think it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to them. The challenge really falls on making sure that he and the quarterback see it the same way. That’s why we meet together as a group every day. Q: It’s not necessarily just memorizing plays? It’s understanding the concept as well? A: No, it’s really kind of really simplistic in terms of the number of plays, it’s probably less than many offenses would have. In terms of the latitude that they’re granted on most plays, that’s where the sophistication comes in. Q: How’s Louis doing with that so far? A: Good. Doing well. Doing well. Q: What’s your thinking between keeping two quarterbacks as opposed to three? A: Well you know, most places do keep three. We’ve been kind of a rarity and we’ve kind of rolled the dice. We’ve done it because of Eli, knock on wood if there’s any wood here, and that he’s stayed healthy, so we’ve been able to get another position player. You certainly gamble and there’s no question about it, but now when you go with a young guy, which you would expect to do, drafted him to keep him, who knows what’s going to happen, but that’s what you would think would happen. Is he far enough along at the end of preseason camp that you’re saying, he can be number two. That’s a long way from being decided and if it’s not, then that will probably determine what the numbers are that we keep. We’ll keep three instead of two. Q: You’ve been here to see a lot of your receivers have seasons when they really emerged and exploded, Victor, Hakeem, all these guys. Can you tell whether or not Rueben is showing signs of doing that this season? A: He’s definitely … there’s no question about it. He’s light years from where he was last year. Not that there wasn’t some physical ability that I think was easily discerned by everybody, but the consistency of performance, the thing we were just talking about, reacting the right way on all the different looks that you get, in the professional ranks. That wasn’t at the level that you needed, but in terms of his work ethic, his leadership has been phenomenal, and he’s always had great hands. He’s always been a smooth route runner, he’s always going up and gotten any throw that was close. I think he shows good body control and that kind of stuff. Just in terms of making the right decisions off the coverages, he’s not being fooled. The way he picked up that blitz. That was a tremendously well disguised blitz. Usually the quarterback does a great job, Eli does a great job seeing it. We’ll adjust the blocking scheme to take it up. There was no way in the world you were going to see that one coming, no problem. Because it was disguised so well the guy was a little bit slow getting over there. He made the first guy miss, he made the second guy miss. I think for guys who have been here watching practice, that’s been almost a daily occurrence… I mean who knows what’s going to happen, but I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t continue to play at a high level. Q: And as he goes into his third year, Jernigan, what do you need to see out of him?

A: Just what we saw Saturday night. I thought he was excellent. I thought he did a lot of good things, if the quarterback had a few more counts. He ran a hook and up that he was wide open. He ran a corner route where he was wide open. Just couldn’t get him the ball. Biggest thing is he’s got to stay healthy. Sure enough, he’s got to stay out there, do it on a consistent basis. I think he’s always shown glimpses, he’s always shown flashes. As a coach, that’s what’s frustrating because you see it there and you want to get it out on a play-in play-out, day-in day-out basis. I thought he played really well Saturday night, so hopefully that will continue. Q: With all your receivers that you have, plus you throw in Myers, Robinson, and Pascoe, is it like you sit there and go, wow. do we have a lot of options this year? A: You know what, I never look at it that way. I look at it and wish we had a few more. No, I’m happy with the guys we have. I think we have good players. I think they’re working hard. They’re good kids. It’s important for them to do well, so I’m encouraging. You just hope you stay healthy and anybody that’s coming back from injury comes back all the way. If we do that, we should have a good group. Q: You said earlier that Pittsburgh was throwing different schemes at you. Are you comfortable with the depth of the offensive line? A: The young guys…the first time out, it’s always the game’s moving a lot faster than they’re ready to react the way you have to. They stunted a lot more than they had shown the last three or four games of last year when we broke them down. They blitzed like crazy. Did our young guys react as quickly as they need to? No. But is that abnormal? No. That’s kind of the norm. I think we did see when they knew who to block, they were physical and they looked like they had the physical ability to be effective down the road for us.

QB Eli Manning August 12, 2013

Q: Did you like what you saw the little time you were out there? A: Yeah, I thought we did some good things. We had some good plays, had some third down conversions, you know and obviously there’s going to be things we can work on and that’s the point of preseason. Do some things well but it should get better. Your best game of the year is not supposed to be that first preseason game. There’s going to be a lot of areas where you have new guys, things you can improve on. Q: It had to be good to know with Victor missing so much time in the offseason that the connection was still there. A: Yeah, it was good to obviously get a big play and a third down conversion and get a touchdown, so that’s always nice to get one of your top receivers a catch in the game and still know that he has the playmaking ability that he has had the last couple years. Q: What are you looking to accomplish the second preseason game coming up? A: Just obviously have some more drives, have a couple more series, just being sharper overall and our execution; sometimes, you know it’s not exactly where the ball’s going but the backside and different routes and make sure everybody’s doing the right assignments and doing it well so we’ll just continue to work on that and play at a faster level. Q: Is it unusual to you that there’s four quarterbacks. Usually it’s three. Most of your camps you’ve had three not four, right? A: Maybe so. It’s no different for me. I’m still getting the same amount of reps that I always do and so it hasn’t changed anything. Q: So just one extra person in the meeting room? A: Yeah exactly, one extra person in the room and so sometimes that’s good. During the regular season, a lot of times we only have two quarterbacks, so it can be a quiet room at times so it’s good to get an extra guy and liven it up a little bit. Q: Did you know Curtis Painter at all before this? Obviously he played with your brother- A: I had met Curtis over the years when he was at Indianapolis. He came down to our Manning Passing Academy one year to help coach and so I met him over the years. Q: What do you think of how Ryan Nassib played? A: I thought Ryan made some good plays. He was in a couple of tough circumstances and made the best out of them, didn't force the ball, didn't turn the ball over, had some pressure, had some good movement in the pocket, protected the ball, so that first preseason game you’re in there with a lot of guys in their first preseason game, so it’s not going to be always smooth sailing. There are going to be some bad plays but I think

it’s a great learning experience and I thought he made some good decisions and good plays.

WR Victor Cruz August 12, 2013

Q: Saturday night you looked sharp. How’d you feel? A: I felt good. It felt good to get back out there in the swing of things. We got some real action against some real opponents; somebody not wearing blue. It felt good to get back out there and continue to do some good things. Q: Do you feel like you’re at the speed and synced the way you want to be at this point in camp or did the OTA stuff affect you at all? A: No, I feel good right now. I think me and Eli are just continuing to work. We’re working on our timing and I’ve been working on my routes, crisp and clean. That was just another step towards that. But I feel good, I feel confident right now and I just want to continue to build on that. Q: If Hakeem’s healthy and able to play the way he’s played in the past, how good do you think your receiving corps is? A: I think we could be really good. I think as long as we come together and understand each other’s roles—I play the slot, outside, and Hakeem—if everybody could just understand each other’s roles and just compete to the best of their ability, I think we’ll be just fine. We’re a talented bunch in that receiving room and I think the sky’s the limit for us. Q: When you’re out on the practice field, do you ever look out at MetLife Stadium with the mindset that that’s the goal for this year? A: Sometimes, but any year, any time, no matter where the Super Bowl is played, that’s our goal at the end of the day. It just so happens that it’s being played right in our backyard. It’s obviously some added motivation that we want to play in it, but we want to play in every Super Bowl. We definitely look over there sometimes and we understand how monumental that is, but we understand that we’ve got to take it one game at a time. Q: Is there any different feeling on the field having your contract in hand? A: Not really. It’s the same thing. It’s just me playing with the guys. When I’m out there I’m not thinking about my contract or how much money I’m making. I’m just out there playing football with the guys that I love and that I see every day; that I hang out with. There’s really nothing different for me out there. Q: We spend a lot of time out here asking you about the Big 3, you, Rueben, and Hakeem. What about the 4? What do you see from Louis Murphy? A: Louis is extremely fast. He has a good ability to separate from the defender. He just has to continue to grow in the offense. I think he’s taken huge steps since I met him down in North Carolina with Eli. He really understands and he’s building off that. I think he has tremendous talent and he’s definitely a burner on the outside.

Q: It’s been a few years since you’ve had to learn the offense, but what’s the burden like for him trying to learn what a receiver is expected to do here? A: It’s tough. It’s definitely a huge learning curve for him, not just understanding what you do, but the terminology and the vernacular that we use that’s different from where he was previously. It’s tough, but we help him. He talks to us all the time. I talk to him in and out of the huddle, even if it’s a run play or a pass play. I just remind him, even if he knows what he’s doing, I just remind him of what he’s doing. Things like that. It’s definitely a work in progress, but he’s getting there. He’s a quick learner. Q: If you had any complaints about your own game last year, what did you do to correct that? A: Just concentration. I think even out here on the practice field I’ve been training myself to look the ball all the way in, whether I’m in traffic or getting to the ball late or see it late. I’m just looking it all the way into my hands and then making the move later. I think a lot of my drops were me trying to make a move before I actually caught the football. Now I just want to focus on catching the ball first, looking it all the way in, and then taking it from there.

T Justin Pugh August 12, 2013

Q: How are you feeling? A: I feel good, I feel great. I mean I got cleared by all the doctors, I went through all the protocol, so I’m good to go, practicing today. Q: Is it scary? A: First time I ever had a concussion, so I didn’t really know what it was all about. The doctors here did a great job handling everything and I’m symptom-free so it’s been good for me now. Q: How did it happen? A: It was on a hit. I was pulling around and I hit someone head to head, it was the first time I ever experienced that kind of headache so I knew something was up and went through the proper protocol for that. Q: How bad was it? A: The headaches were pretty bad and it was a little nausea, it got better each day. You have to go through a variety of different steps once it happens; I wasn’t really aware of it. The medical staff did a great job of helping me out, going to be back to 100%. Q: Do you talk to a guy like Chris Snee at all, guys who have been through it, just for any advice and how to manage it? A: Yeah, they all say you basically have to wait till the headache goes away, there’s nothing really you can do. You can’t really go out there and workout or rehab it. It’s just kind of resting it, and it’s something where they told me to keep my head up. I don’t really worry about it. Obviously I wanted to still be in there in the meetings, and once I was able to, I was sitting in the meetings, so it worked out, it worked out well, and I’m back today and couldn't be happier. Q: When you miss time like that, obviously if it’s a leg, or an arm or something like that, you can still be sharp in the meetings, but when it’s your head and you can’t really focus… how do you keep up and not fall too far behind on the classroom stuff? A: You know, just getting back in there now, getting ready to get after it. I only missed, I think, two days in the meeting room and I was able to come back in and get that stuff working. So obviously you lose out on two days of film which is crucial but to get back in there and spend a little extra time now to get back to where you should be. Q: Was it a knee to head or- A: No, it was a head to head. I pulled around; I forgot who I hit. Q: Headaches and nausea were the two main symptoms?

A: Yeah, I mean you have some sensitivity to noise and light but that kind of subsided after the first couple of days. Q: How much do you think this did set you back (…) A: Obviously missing the reps, that’s something that’s big. I wish I could get those back but right now I’ve just got to go out there and play. I really can’t control that now. Q: Missing the game hurt, I imagine? A: Oh yeah definitely, I mean when I had to sit home and I couldn’t even travel with the team and had to watch, that was definitely something that definitely hurt me but getting back out there today, I’ve got a big smile on my face. I’m ready to go. Q: When you have an injury like that, in the back of your mind does it kind of force you to adjust your technique so that it doesn't happen again or is it just one of those things? A: You know it’s something that’s part of the game, you’ve got to keep your head out of it and play heads up football, so it’s something where I know when I go out there, make sure you’re conscious using your hands and when you’re going down field and going after guys in the secondary where there is a lot more room for that, you’ve got to make sure you’re using the proper technique. Q: Do you feel like you can make up the time pretty quickly? A: Yeah definitely. Q: In what ways? A: We’ve done things with the veterans, helping us out and then taking some quizzes and stuff and getting extra work in; every day we stay a little bit extra in our meeting rooms, the younger guys, to make sure we’re where we need to be, and then going out there today and getting those reps. I know we’ve got some other guys banged up so I’ll be able to get more reps today than I would have normally. Q: When you woke up this morning, just describe what your state of mind was, knowing, when you came to the facility, you were going to be working? A: I mean I was excited, I was excited to get back in here and be with the guys because sometimes when you’re injured, you don’t get to do everything with the offensive line and you’ll be sitting on the side or riding the bikes, so it’ll be good today to go out there and actually be in the drills with my teammates. Q: That was a crazy day, that was like the first day you took first team reps too, right? A: Yeah, it was the first day, first day I was able to go out there, so obviously that hurt but definitely I’m past that now. I’m ready to get back out there and be with my teammates.

Q: Did you have to kind of go through a period of frustration or anger that something set you back because you’re so excited as a rookie to take advantage of being their top pick. Was there a period of frustration that you had to manage? A: Definitely those first couple days when I couldn't even be in the facility, I had to be back at the hotel, you kind of are like, I feel like I’m letting everyone down by being out, but it’s the right thing and I know the way the NFL is handling concussions now you have to make sure that you’re held accountable and you tell somebody because it’s a major thing.

DE Damontre Moore August 12, 2013

Q: How many times have you seen the replay of the punt block? A: I’ve seen it maybe once. Q: That’s it? A: Yeah, once. I haven’t really been watching ESPN, I’ve been sleeping. Q: What kind of feeling is it to make that type of play in your first NFL game? A: I was happy. It was a great experience for me, for it to be my first game and to have a big impact on the play. I was just overwhelmed with joy. Q: There were a lot of plays where you were really close. Do you sit there and think “wow, had I been an inch closer…” A: Yeah, watching film there were a lot of places where I was really close. I think that’s what motivates me more to get there and make the play. It doesn’t do anything but aggravate me more to know that I was that close and didn’t make the play. So it was my motivation. Q: Guys talk about the speed of the game being a lot faster in the NFL versus college. Did you find that on Saturday night, or did it feel like a comfortable pace for you? A: I was pretty comfortable. I could tell the difference. It was a little bit faster, but at the same time we ran a fast paced offense back in college and that’s the tempo that we practice at. It wasn’t too big of a change in speed. Q: After that play what type of confidence does that give you? A: It gave me a lot of confidence, to let me know that I can come out here and I can make plays and do things. But at the same time, it gave me more motivation because I don’t want to feel that experience just once. I want to feel it multiple times. And to see that I helped put my team in a great situation, there’s not a better feeling I could have. I use that as motivation to keep making it happen. Q: When you look back on that film, what do you look at and say “I didn’t do this well, I need to get better at it”? A: Watching film, I’d say containing the edge and not just being so one track minded; really focusing on my assignment and not just looking at the ball. Like, if it’s my assignment to go…a puller or keep the tight end. Just honing in and being more focused on my assignment and not just looking at the ball trying to find it.

Head Coach Tom Coughlin Conference Call, August 11, 2013

The interesting thing last night, which occurred, was there were so many situational concepts that appeared in the game and this was a very good experience for our sideline. We had 79 guys there and all different combinations of personnel on special teams, first and second half. We actually played four quarterbacks in the game, as did Pittsburgh. But the number of things that came up in a game that was relatively penalty free, the unfortunate thing being the turnovers. Obviously I wasn’t really happy about. Especially the idea that their only touchdown came off of a turnover, but the idea of a blocked punt would have been nice if we could have taken it off of the punter’s foot and scored a touchdown there. We had a hard count, no-brainer type of a situation where they were trying to draw people offsides in lieu of the field goal. That was a good situation. We almost had what we call a ‘cobra’ situation come up. We had a two-minute drive at the end of the half, which was great experience for our guys. There were a number of people that were in the game at that time. Our defense got a safety. We had a kickoff return after a safety. We recovered a muffed punt. We had a four-minute drive at the end of the game that resulted in the opportunity for Josh Brown to step up with a 47-yard field goal, which we could emphasize the pressure of the moment saying that was the deciding factor in the game to go up five rather than two. There were so many things. We had three penalties in the game, which was a good thing; a lot of good things happening on special teams, as I mentioned. The areas of concern were obviously the offense… our inability to rush the ball with any kind of consistency. And also as other people entered the game throughout the game, just to adjust to Pittsburgh’s blitz package. Just understand what they’re trying to do and understand what we’re trying to do to offset that and be consistent with that conceptual idea. That was kind of an on- again and off-again for us throughout the entire game. So that and the fact that our first defense had what we call two wins and seven losses against Pittsburgh’s running game and that’s a big objective for us coming in and we’ve got to shore that up and be able to stop the opponent’s run. But it was everything we thought it would be in terms of the physical capability, the physical test that the game provided for us. It was a good first preseason game. Q: Do you have any updates on the injuries from that game? A: Kris Adams’ surgery is taking place even as we speak. A left ankle fracture is what they’re calling that and anyone else, DeGeare included, is being evaluated and we’ll have to wait until the results of all of these tests come back to us. We do have the normal aches and pains from having played the next day and I won’t know the real consequence of those things until I get an evening report from the training room. Q: Would you imagine Ryan Nassib getting more snaps in the next preseason game? A: He needs to keep getting his feet wet just like anybody else does. It’s a brand new experience and we’ll keep that in mind as we set the order and the number of snaps as they are to be divided up for the next game. Now in truth, he got just as many snaps as anybody else. A couple of them were the victory formation at the end.

Q: What did you see from the first team defense that the Pittsburgh running game was giving them problems? A: Right off the bat, we were reached. They came out running the outside zone play and we did get in a position where we were reached. We didn’t get off the blocks and didn’t get to a point where we could reject the front and the ball carriers were able to slash and make yardage and a couple of times cut the ball back. I think we’ll do a better job once we get a look at this tape and understand our gap responsibilities, but this is going to continue to be an objective for us. Q: Is that partly to go with the different combinations you’re trying to find up front and with your linebackers? Do you think that will continue through the preseason? A: I hope not. I’m hoping that the combinations that we go with, whether that’s by our decision or by the result of the injury factor, we’re hoping those combinations will provide the necessary strength or techniques in order to accomplish what our objectives are. We’re not saying it’s going to be a perfect alignment. That just doesn’t happen. So the guys that are available to us or the combinations we decide upon are in there for that reason. Q: What do you look for from Eli out of a preseason game? Do you think he got enough work? A: There are not enough snaps for that to happen. I think Eli had nine and the most I was going to allow that to be was 12. We had a couple of things that we thought were going to be excellent opportunities. The one was a ball down the sideline where Rueben could have released faster and they could have hooked up on that one. That would have been a nice thing to see. I would liked to have scored from the five, the touchdown once we did block the punt and then the play to Victor, which was Eli to Victor and it worked out very, very well. The ball was thrown exactly where it had to be thrown, but I still think we could do that a little bit better. It’s the idea of getting in the game, adjusting to the game tempo, knowing the speed… The speed of the game is something that has to be accomplished… You only get that by being in the game. Those are things that are going to happen here when we look at this tape with the players and then we project getting into the week of our next game. I’m hoping that if nothing else, the speed of our play improves and the tempo with which we operate improves from game one to game two right away. Those would be two objectives before anything else. Q: Does Eli or some of the other veterans have to re-adjust to game tempo? A: Yeah. It’s much different. Practice is one thing and the game is another. We all need to get up to speed with regard to that and not necessarily Eli for the position he plays, but the speed with which the opponent moves and the very fine line between outstanding execution and almost, and we’ve got to get where we’re executing with all three phases the way we need to be able to do it going into the season. So the challenge from game one to game two, of course, is to make these kinds of improvements and adjustments once we look at the tape. Q: With the fumble from Andre Brown, does that concern you? A: It concerns me. Naturally it concerns me and it concerns Andre too because it was careless. I don’t care how much and how long you’ve played the game. There are certain things that have to happen before you run the ball. You’ve got to look the ball in. If it’s going to be a toss or a pitch or a pass or whatever… first, you’ve got to catch the darn thing and put it away and cover

it up before you can go on to the next objective. I’m sure he’s going to learn a lot from that and to his credit he went right back in and did some good things. So that idea of looking the ball in, I don’t know how that escaped last night, but for me, that was the whole reason for the turnover. Q: What did you think of Herzlich last night? A: In that position, the mike backer position gets the signals and calls the game as it comes off the sideline. So Mark had that opportunity. He does an outstanding job with that. We’re analyzing the linebacker play the entire preseason so that we can get the right people on the field in the right spots. So it’s ongoing and Mark, I’m sure, will be a guy that will tell you that we played pretty good last night, but we can all play better. Q: Did any of the linebackers jump out at you in having a good game? A: I think there were flashes. I really do. I think there was flashes and I don’t know if it’s any one particular individual that made enough plays or a whole lot of plays for me to say that, but we were steady. We didn’t give up a touchdown, so somebody was doing a good job in there. Q: What did you think of David Wilson and his pass protection? A: You know what, he had one very, very good cut block when he stepped up and took the blitzing linebacker on and he tried to carry that same route of execution out and the backer stepped over him one time. So he’s got to learn that you don’t cut people at the feet of the quarterback. That’s not going to accomplish anything. If you step up and take up the slack and you’re far enough away from the quarterback, you can use that as a changeup, but basically you’re going to have to stand in there. So he’ll learn that. They did a good job. Andre did a real good job of chipping last night and helping where it was obvious the help was needed. Q: Do you expect Justin Tuck to be back tomorrow and the guys with the concussions? A: I expect Justin to be back. I think (Justin) Pugh has been cleared and we’re going to find out about (Ryan) Torain tomorrow and hopefully (James) Brewer is getting very close. Q: Pugh has been cleared? A: I did say Pugh has been cleared to return to practice. Q: Did you see more big plays last night? A: I don’t know. To be honest with you, for a long time last year we were close to or on top of the league with big plays in that regard from an offensive standpoint anyway and we did have a very good year in terms of turning the ball over. So last night, you’re kind of dominated by the things that didn’t go well in terms of the two turnovers that we had. One creating a touchdown for them, but we’re constantly looking for more of that. We spend a lot of time on punt return. We’re trying to enhance that in terms of field position. Overall, we didn’t have a lot of big plays last night, but defensively now we did have some numbers. We had five sacks, nine hits on the quarterback, and eight tackles for a loss. We had those types of things last night, which would fall into that category and I think from a positive standpoint we had four big plays in the passing

game and we had a very nice punt return or kickoff return after the safety in which the Pittsburgh punter provided the ball down the field and Jerrel Jernigan had a nice return there. Q: What do you think Eli gained from the preseason when he was backing up Kurt Warner? A: He constantly wanted to be the starter, but he was learning as much as he possibly could through the eyes of Kurt Warner as he waited patiently for his opportunity. The competitiveness of preseason was very close. I made the decision to go with the veteran player. We did that up until a point and we did have a winning season going at that point in time, but Eli was spending all of his time preparing himself, studying and acting as if he was the starter in meetings, and keeping himself informed as to every detail if we was the starter just in case he would have to enter a ballgame and when he did get his chance, he had been in the routine of preparing as if he was the starter and that’s the way he wanted it. Q: When you recall making the switch, do you remember it as a difficult decision? A: I felt in my gut that the timing was right and it was the right thing to do because Eli was the future of the New York Giants and we needed to be about the business of moving in that direction and we had to kind of take in a little down turn in terms of our production and I was concerned at that point in time that if something else had been occurring, then maybe it would have been a touchy decision. But for me, at that point in time, I wasn’t concerned with other factors and other people thinking about our record or what the objective of the move was or whether it was a popular decision or not. I just felt in my heart it was the right thing to do and it was.

Head Coach Tom Coughlin Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants

Saturday, August 10, 2013 Head Coach Tom Coughlin: We found a way to win. We came in with the idea that we’d play everybody and we did. Unfortunately we had a couple of injuries tonight. Kris Adams and Chris DeGeare. We hung in there when it didn’t look very good at the end and found a way to win. We played a lot of people. The effort was very good. Some of the defensive kids rose up there at the end. Ryan Nassib made a play down the field, which got us going and let us run the ball a little bit and get in field goal range there at the end. It was good that Josh Brown really lined up to kick a 47-yard field goal to win the game and that was a good thing for our team. We had the score early on. Eli Manning to Victor Cruz. We weren’t having much success otherwise but we did jump up with a decent lead there. I felt bad with the snap. We should have never let that happen. It was just one of those things. You try a lot of people at the center position. We were okay except with the shotgun snap, which wasn’t really something that had been mastered by Matt McCants. Overall we came in and had a good effort and won the game. I told the players that’s what we came for. Re: The running game It wasn’t much to talk about. I don’t know how many chances we had. It wasn’t anything great. We played that first offensive line a few more plays than we intended. We’ll have to improve in that area. No question. Re: Overall impression of the rookies For the first opportunity to play in a preseason professional football game, they were excited. They ran around and made some plays. I thought Michael Cox really ran the ball hard when he had his opportunities tonight. Moore obviously was a problem for Pittsburgh from the pass rush standpoint. He did a nice job of that. I thought Johnathan Hankins held his own in there. He’s had a nice camp. Hopefully we’re going to keep that going. Re: Effectiveness of Pittsburgh’s running game I would say probably not. They had some first downs and ran the ball on us right off the bat early on. We’ll just have to take a look at it. It wasn’t a rejection. We did stop some of the runs, but we’re going to have to be better. Re: Johnathan Moore on defense He keeps coming and he likes it. Of course we had the punt block which was nice. We shared circumstances there. I was disappointed we didn’t score from the five-yard line. The fact that we did get the block and recover the ball and line up in that situation was a good thing. Re: Eli Manning and Victor Cruz connecting

Anytime that happens, we’re over there cheering. Re: The fumbled exchange His eyes never went to the ball. He never looked at the ball. He was looking at the rush and fumbled the ball. By the time he got to where he started looking for the ball, the defenders were on him. That was disappointing. Re: Rueben Randle’s catch on third down He did. We thought he probably would have gotten another one early on. It didn’t quite work out that way but he shows. He’s going to have to grow as we go along here but we’re interested in seeing his development. He’ll help us as another weapon. Re: Larry Donnell at fullback He’s been working in there. We use that B tight end there for that spot. In practice he’s had pretty good leverage even though he’s a big, tall man. Re: Keeping penalties to a minimum That was a good thing. I wasn’t very happy about the turnover or the snap. But we held the penalties down. I thought we did a pretty good job of that. That’s a good starting point from that standpoint. Re: Ryan Nassib getting more comfortable We’ll have to let Ryan play some. He was chased all over the place. He made the one play down the sidelines. We thought he might have gotten another one but he didn’t have a whole lot of time. We need to work on that. He did make the play though that got the drive going to kick the field goal that kept it out of field goal range for them. Was Chris DeGeare’s injury a fracture? I think Adams was the fracture. I think DeGeare was the ACL, but I’ll have to find out for you.

QB Eli Manning Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Giants

August 10, 2013

Re: His overall impressions of the game: Obviously we got the win, which is nice. The first group, the first possession could have been a little bit better. We had great field position and ending up with a field goal is a little disappointing. The next drive had a nice third down conversion to [WR] Rueben Randle and hit [WR] Victor Cruz on the deep one. He had a nice catch and a run for a touchdown. So I think overall, two possessions, two scoring drives, long scoring drives is kind of what you want out of it from the first group. So that was good to see. Re: How he would grade his own performance: Good and bad. Obviously hit a couple nice things. Sometimes that first game you just have to get back to getting used to knowing that the defense can hit you now. You get used to practice and they can’t touch you so you’re just getting your feet settled and those things and that’s what you’re looking at. Obviously I think I can improve on that. These next weeks should get better and better throughout the preseason. You kind of like to get tackled or hit a few times in preseason to get used to that for the regular season. Re: On if it was it fun to finally hook up with WR Victor Cruz: Yes. Obviously we’ve hooked up on a lot of passes over the years. So it’s good to get off to a good start. He ran a great route and the safety was a little aggressive and lost the ball over the top and he made a good catch. So it’s good to know that we can get back to making plays when we need to. Re: The long pass he overthrew to WR Rueben Randle: Yes. Looks like I just overthrew it a little bit. We had press coverage so I tried to throw it out there for him and [it was] just a little off. So we’ll have to look at it on film and see if there was any reason to why we couldn’t connect on that one. That would have been another big play for us. Re: On whether he made an adjustment to connect with Cruz: Yes. The safety was just a little tight. I think he was predicting. We run a lot of out-breaking routes in the slot and so I think the safety maybe was predicting that we were running that. That’s not what we had called and he just had a basic seem route and read the body language for what he was going to do and threw it out there for him and he made a good play. Re: Whether Cruz just has another gear: Yes. He seems to be very fast when he has the football in his hands and when he sees that endzone, all of a sudden he picks up a little extra speed. There’s not many guys that catch him once he gets the ball in his hands when he’s past them.

Re: On the one pass tonight that he’d rather take back: Just the third-down pass to Rueben Randle. I probably could have hung in there a little bit stronger and made a better throw. They had an all-out blitz. I knew there was going to be one guy unblocked, but I think if I had a little bit more time than I thought. That was probably one that I could have been better.

Re: Overall performance of the team: We got a win. That is the most important thing, first and foremost. We listened to what the coaches said, we’ve been practicing hard all week and we were given great looks throughout the game. My coaches put me in great situations, so overall I am very pleased. Can you talk about the blocked punt? I just ran in and got a little hitch step, and I was there to make a play. It was all surprising to me. I’m just glad that coach put me in a great situation. Did you feel really active on defense tonight as a team? I feel like it was alright. There is always room for improvement. I made a lot of mistakes out there. I’m just ready to watch some film and get better.

How do your teammates think you played? Obviously, there are things we can improve on. I felt there were some snaps that I could have played better. I’m going to go back and look at film and see where I can improve that. I think the energy was great, the toughness was there. For the first time being in a game situation I think everybody stepped up and played a really good game. Re: Talk about your first sack: I just had a feeling I was going to be one-on-one, and I pushed him up the field a little bit. I had a good inside move on him. In addition, the opposite side defensive end had some good push and I was able to get him down.

Re: One pass you made that Coach Coughlin was raving about: The receiver made a great play and ran to the corner. He made a great catch. That kept the drive alive, and we were able to put some points on the board as a result. Re: First time out there: It was fun to be out there playing in a real game again, especially at this level. We definitely had some good and bad things happen, but I will learn from it. One great thing about that is you can learn from it next week. How would you rate your overall performance tonight? It was up-and-down. We definitely didn’t have the efficiency that we wanted. We will go back and learn from it.
