First of all, coach, congratulations. You know the Giants were able to score in their first three possessions and then the defense don't remind me, Yeah, they really came alive after that. What was the difference? I think that that the big difference was our defensive line began to put
a little pressure on Eli in the passing game. They were able to stop you know, a tremendous running back in say Quan and and and Galladay and and really I think our young dbs in the back end just settled into the game and really relaxed and played played well, and um, you know quite frankly, just just just found found the rhythm that they needed. How much are you handicapped when you have such a young, inexperienced secondary, Well, the issue comes if somebody goes down, you don't have
backups anymore. You're you're you're limited there. So you're playing with young players that really don't have any backup players to go on the field. So that that's the limitation. But you know the biggest thing is just I think just the nerves early in football games. UM, communication, making sure they're just trust their fundamentals, trust their technique. Um, they're coaching and uh, you know, just try to try to eliminate as many distractions as possible. Carson Wentz admitted
last week that he didn't have a good game. Talk about his performance today. I thought he did some really nice things today. Um, really managed our run game is one of the things we went into this game. We had some some things in our run game that he had to handle. He did a nice job there, made
some really really nice throws down the field. Um. You know, some some big had had a We weren't great on third down, but some of the thirds downs that he converted, they were they were there and um and then the fourth down, I think the fourth down at the end of the game to find Nelly over the ball, uh, is one of the biggest throws he's made. How confident do you have to be when you make that call
on fourth and one? Well, you have to be you have to be a you know, one hundred perence sure that that's the call you want As a play caller. Number two, you just you just trust your players. And it's a player we've wrapped a thousand times here and they know exactly where to be. A quarterback knows exactly you know, the coverage and and what is designed for and um, well executed Brandon Brooks the latter part of
the game, when you guys are driving, he's turning. He's turning to you after the play and trying to emotion for you to continue to run the ball. How much input do you take when your guys on the field do that. Yeah, I listened to those guys. I mean they were they were rolling, and uh, it's exciting when you know it's at the two minute warning at the end of the game. They're in the fourth quarter and Brandon just nonchalantly just walks over to me and says, coach,
keep keep running the football. And I said, don't worry, big fellow, We're gonna run the ball here. So it just gives them a lot of confidence. And they played really well today and as a group, and UM, I'm excited to watch this tape and just see how well they played. It's one of those games where you rand the ball actually more than you threw the ball. Was twenty nine runs, twenty eight passes. How important was that for today's win? Listen, I think I think and anybody
would tell you that's that's probably a good formula. Um, you know, you're gonna win a lot of football game, especially if you're running it successfully and and and and so it just takes so much pressure off your quarterback. It just allows him to play free and and see the field and and uh, you know it just it and it and it sparks your offense too. And you know those guys are churning you know, five, six, ten, fifteen twenty yard runs. I mean, it's just it's an
exciting thing for everybody on your team. Thanks to coach, enjoy the one. Thanks Quick,
