Head Coach Brian Daboll
Q: Where we at on – any injuries? Guys that –
A: Everybody will do everything today.
Q: Huh?
A: Everybody will do everything today.
Q: That includes (tackle) Evan Neal?
A: Yeah. We're doing a little bit more of a walkthrough so.
Q: But he'll be listed as like a limited participant in practice, I assume?
A: Yeah, but he'll be out there. There's nobody that's not doing anything.
Q: (Tight end) Darren Waller?
A: We'll see where we're at here, making progress. Getting closer.
Q: What do you think of Waller's chances of playing this Sunday?
A: We'll see. Go through the week and determine it at the end of the week.
Q: Is it a strong desire to get both those guys on the field as soon as you can?
A: Yeah, whenever they're ready to go, then we'll have a plan for them.
Q: Did (quarterback) Tommy (DeVito) hurt his shoulder on that fumble return? It looked like when I went back and watched it –
A: No, he's good.
Q: What'd you think of (outside linebacker Azeez) Ojulari? He had the sack and then he had the – he gets criticized sometimes for his run defense and he made a pretty good play there on that run.
A: I thought he played one of his better games for us, since we've been here. He played with a lot of energy, did a good job in the run game, made some plays. They missed that field goal, he got that big tackle for loss, rushed well. He's making progress. I thought he played a good game.
Q: Just to be clear on Waller for a second, when you say everyone's going to practice does that include him?
A: No.
Q: Not him?
A: Yeah. Everybody that can practice, will.
Q: Everyone on the Giants active roster?
A: Yeah.
Q: It looked like they really wanted to hit you the other night with a lot of misdirection, I know that's part of their offense and if you go back earlier this year, you guys seemed to have a lot of problems with that. Especially in the Miami game, they caught you a lot pre-snap. What do you attest to it? Just time and the defense gelling or do you think it's something you guys did gameplan-wise that allowed you to overcome that?
A: Well, we made some good plays too. That two-point play was a heck of a play by (inside linebacker) Bobby (Okereke) and the rest of the guys where they motioned the back, handed off on the outside. There's a wide variety of runs you get nowadays in the league whether it's jet sweeps to the receivers, reverses, outside zones with the receivers, kind of a different way than the traditional way. I think every team tries to attack edges, inside, gap, zone. I think each team differs, but I thought we played some of them exactly the way we need to play them, and they made some good plays on some other ones.
Q: What is it about (outside linebacker) Kayvon (Thibodeaux)? What area have you seen the biggest improvement with him this year?
A: Really all of them. I've said this before, I've got a high amount of respect for Kayvon, glad we have him. He's made progress since the day he walked in this door. He's got good leadership traits about him, he's a talented player, he loves the game of football, he's a great teammate. I'm glad we have him. He's really made a lot of progress and he always strives for more. He's done a nice job for us.
Q: What seems to be standing out about him? The pressure percentage isn't off the charts, but when he gets his opportunities, he's turning those into sacks. Is there anything you see there, a reason why?
A: He's done a good job of finishing on the quarterback. Again, we ask him to do a lot of different things in our defense and he welcomes it with open arms. I can't say enough about what a good teammate he is. He's made a lot of progress since he's been here and it's a testament to him, it's a testament to the coaches, but he's the one out there doing it.
Q: There's a cliche about defensive backs that they have a nose for the ball, that they just find interceptions, fumbles, things like that. Is there that for a defensive lineman like Kayvon where he just happens to consistently find himself around sacks?
A: There's probably some truth to that, yeah. But I mean, he's doing a good job with our rush plan, of how we're rushing players, whether it's with games, pressures. I give him a lot of credit, but (Outside Linebackers Coach) Drew (Wilkins), Dre (Defensive Line Coach Andre Patterson), those guys work with him a lot. He's in there on afternoon meetings. You have the whole defense up there and different guys talk about different things in just the players meeting. It's good to be able to see him to do that, too.
Q: Do you think your right tackle position has stabilized now that you've had one guy in there for a while after Evan Neal got hurt?
A: I think the five of those guys that have been working together have continually improved. They're communicating well. There're obviously certain things we can all do better, but it's good to have those five guys out there for consecutive games. All five of them have done a good job.
Q: What about in particular (tackle Tyre) Phillips?
A: Good teammate, good communicator, tries to do the things we ask him to do on a consistent basis, is out here, he does a great job at practice and in meetings of doing everything he can do to be as good as he can be on Sunday or Monday, or whenever it is.
Q: How hard is it for a young quarterback to learn on the job like Tommy DeVito has been doing?
A: I think for any young player, the more you play, the more experience you get, the more things you see. There's always going to be mistakes; there's mistakes for everybody, coaches, players. I think if you have the right mindset of—he prepares really well. He's in here on his days off, spends a lot of time with the coaches. He just tries to do everything he can do to put himself in as good a position as he can. Again, as young players, whether it's receiver, a defensive back, a quarterback, this is a difficult league. Difficult assignments each week. Different game plans you get. Coaches are going to game plan you different each week. He's done a good job of just trying to execute his job. Right mindset, knows he's got things to work on, like we all do, but comes to work every day.
Q: The outside world is obviously in a frenzy over him. Do you have to keep him grounded at all, or does he do that himself?
A: He's been pretty consistent. The thing that he can control, and we talk about it all the time, is how you prepare each week. Each week is a different challenge. We've talked about it since OTAs. Each practice was a different challenge, the limited amount of reps you get, staying focused on the things that you can control, which is not always the easiest thing really for anybody. But he's tried to be as consistent as he can. Don't ride a roller coaster, try to improve, whether it's your footwork, your reads, creating loose plays, whatever that may be. That's his mindset. So, he's like a sponge. He tries to soak everything up, he knows he's got a lot to learn. But he handles himself the right way.
Q: We saw a picture of the locker room doing the celebration, you on board with that as well at this point?
A: I leave that to those guys. Just trying to put one foot in front of the other and be as good as we can.
Q: Where does the outside, kind of on Tommy, the outside media frenzy, kind of outside stuff stack up to in your career what you've seen around players?
A: With all due respect, I try to just focus on the things in here and keep our guys as focused as we can of doing the things we need to try to do.
Q: When the pass rush did get to him the other night it seemed like he wasted no time to just get out and use his legs. Did you encourage him prior to the game to do more of that or was that him?
A: Well, I think he's an instinctive player. That's something that we talk about with – again every quarterback is different that you coach, everyone has a different skillset. We try to coach to our quarterback that's playing. It's something that, based on who you have, you emphasize it maybe less, maybe more, but he did a good job of preventing negative plays, of getting yards when he could get them, of staying on track so we could stay on schedule. I think that's important for any offense. But he did – if guys can run, I encourage them to run and try to take as limited of hits as you can, but use your athletic ability to your strengths, try to stay in positive downs and distances. It's easier for everybody, play callers, quarterbacks, skill players, linemen to stay in favorable situations. It's hard to do, there is a lot of good defenses in this league, but certainly if you have that ability, go ahead and use it.
Q: He had not done that in the previous games, he took some sacks. Was that like a really concerted effort?
A: Yeah, I mean we had some sacks, but again, sacks are a result of everybody.
Q: Some were certainly him.
A: Yeah, I mean it was everybody. Put it on everybody. But again, he's improving the more he plays. It's not always going to happen every time, but they've got a really good rush right now that we are going to have be in a loud environment and make sure we do a good job of trying to stay on schedule the best we can against a really good defensive coach in DA (Saints Head Coach Dennis Allen) and some really good players.
Q: Is there anything that you've seen tangible in (safety Xavier) McKinney's game over the last month that has allowed him to kind of – it seems like he's taken it to another level.
A: Yeah, he's playing good football. He does a great job in the film room, great job in walkthroughs, been a good leader for us. He's played really, I'd say, the last month of the season a high level of football, and we need him to do that.
Quarterback Tommy DeVito
Q: What's it mean to win Offensive Player of the Week?
A: It's cool, I guess. I don't know. I didn't really think anything of it. It's kind of just outside stuff.
Q: How much has it been an effort on your part and the whole offense to avoid the sacks? There were a lot of them in the earlier games, none this past game.
A: It's something that was a point of emphasis from the week prior. Try to just get the ball out of my hands, use my legs, run, just make decisions a little bit quicker. The offensive line did a great job.
Q: It sounds obvious, but it's obviously not, 'Get the ball out of my hands or just run.' What goes into all this? You don't want to give up on a play, but you also don't want to get sacked.
A: It's always give and take. You realistically want to have zero sacks, but realistically in a game, it's not always going to happen each week, week in and week out. But it's just up to me just to make good decisions and try to help out the offense to not have any negatives.
Q: How much does it help the offense when it's not 2nd-and-15, when you're on a certain schedule, even if it's not a big completion, to not take those sacks and not be behind the sticks?
A: I don't think that would be good in any offense, no matter who's back there with anybody. I mean, just avoiding the negative plays as a quarterback will just help keep the offense and the team on track.
Q: How much are you enjoying the local attention and the national attention that your story is bringing?
A: It's good. I mean, I appreciate the support from everybody. Obviously, being from a small town, it's a lot going on in such a small area. But I appreciate everybody.
Q: The idea that you're close to your family, the cutlets, Don Bosco, what does it feel like when a lot of people feel like right now, you're the embodiment of all New Jersey Italians?
A: I'm just trying to continue to be me. I'm going to let my personality show. That's it.
Q: What ways do you think you have improved in the six games that you've been playing and in four games as the starter?
A: In a lot. I mean, there have been a lot of situations that I haven't been in before. That was my first two-minute situation at the end of last game. It's really all situational. But taking care of the ball, that's been a big thing. Right now, avoiding the sacks, trying to have those minimized, just keeping the team staying ahead of the chains.
Q: We know he's on IR, but has (quarterback) Daniel (Jones) been a sounding board for you during this?
A: He has, yeah. Yeah. When he's around, when he's done doing his rehab, and he's either in here or in the quarterback room, I'm always picking his brain, just having a conversation.
**Q: Is he a cheerleader as well? Is he the kind of guy that when you see him, he's excited for your success?
**A: Oh, of course. He's probably always the first text on my phone right after the game ends. I usually see him in here the next morning sitting getting treatment. So, we're always talking and he's always the first one.
Q: What's his advice been handling all the attention? Obviously being the starting quarterback of an NFL team is probably a next level of attention and eyes on you.
A: Yeah, it's just staying composed throughout the whole thing. It's kind of the same deal it's always been in college and everything else. When everything's going good, everybody loves you, and when you don't win, everything is—people don't like you, right? It's always somebody's talking this and that about you. So, staying even keeled through it all.
Q: Do you feel like you've kind of been seasoned in that regard? I guess it seems like you feel like you've kind of been through that.
A: Oh, yeah. I've dealt with the New York crowd before playing in Syracuse. I've dealt with it before, so I know how it goes.
Q: What does 'the New York crowd' mean?
A: They can love you or they can be the complete opposite quick, depending on how certain things are going. I know how it is. People are tough, but they expect the best. That's what we're going to try to give them.
Q: Could you imagine this happening anywhere else, like, another city or another team? Your situation seems pretty unique to the New York/New Jersey area.
A: I think it's only unique because I'm from the area.
Q: That's what I mean, yeah.
A: Then yeah.
Q: If you were doing these performances for the Bears or the Titans or something like that, it probably wouldn't be as big of a deal.
A: Not sure.
Q: New York is a lot bigger of a stage, I guess…
A: I would hope so, but I'm sure all the extra antics of it just being in the area certainly helps.
Q: Have you let your mind go on what possibilities could be here for you long term as far as maybe being the regular starter here beyond this season?
A: No, I'm just trying to take it one game at a time. I don't make any of those decisions. My job is to go out and help the team try to win a football game.
Q: How much early on would you try to get to know your teammates in here, including some of the defensive players? I've talked to teammates who mentioned that it was almost like you wanted to be part of their group as well.
A: Yeah, always. It's a team game, right? It's not just the offense, not just quarterbacks and receivers, or quarterbacks and running backs. You've got to be a very I think personable person. I don't know – I like to vibe with everybody.
Q. With that being said, how much has (running back) Saquon (Barkley) – he's always been in your corner, but how much has his respect for you carried?
A: A lot. That's my thing. Kind of early on I tried to just earn respect from everybody throughout my work ethic and everything. Whether it's in the weight room, on the field, film, whatever it is, just trying to earn that respect, and especially from a guy like him, was something I wanted to try to do early on.
Q. When do you think you did? When do you think you earned a lot of the veterans' respect?
A: I don't know, might be a question for them. Maybe after preseason, after I played a little bit or maybe after I played in a real game, not sure. Might still be going, some people I might not have it yet. I'm still trying to—can't impress everybody, but you can try.
Q. I did a story in August, just for context, about your family at the airport. They were flying back from the Detroit preseason game. They were so fired up for you playing the role that you did that day after (quarterback) Tyrod (Taylor) exited the game. What has your family meant to you during this journey as you are now at a different point obviously in your career?
A: Everything. They've given me everything leading up to this point to help get me into this position. While I'm in this position I am living at home, as you all know, so they're helping me with everything external, so I only have to focus on football – because there's a lot of externals going on right now.
Q. Dad trained you when you were young, correct?
A: Yup.
Q. Has he told you recently how proud he is?
A: Yeah, he does. All the time. He's a proud dad, rightfully so. But I just continue just to try to give back to them always.
Q. Has anything surprised you about how much attention they're getting and how much the story outside of you has evolved?
A: Honestly, no. I know how it is in the area, especially when things took off, especially with the whole Italian stuff. Social media is a crazy place. Things can catch fire real quick. So, that took off, and try to keep going.
Q. What about the season itself, but in playing too, has surprised you about the process, or has anything surprised you about the process?
A: I wouldn't say anything has really surprised me to this point. Just playing football, that's it.
Q. How much are you thinking about the playoff race, and what do you think of the chances now that you're kind of back in it as a team?
A: I'm not thinking about anything but this week with the Saints. That's it.
Q. What do you see from the Saints when you look at this team and this matchup?
A: Yeah, they're a good team. Obviously have a lot of guys on that defense I've kind of looked up to in the past. The Honey Badger (Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu), he's on that defense. That'll be my first time playing against him. That's kind of a cool deal when I went through the scouting report and saw his
name on there. That's someone I've always watched when I was younger, so that'll be just a cool person to play against out there.
Q. Are you expecting — you showed a more run-heavy game – kind of impacting the defense taking advantage of that this weekend perhaps?
A: I don't know, we'll see how they play. Last week that wasn't really the whole game plan, it kind of just evolved into that depending on how the defense plays.
Q. I know you're on the other side, but how big is it that the defense, your defense, is creating turnovers at the pace that they are?
A: Oh, it's huge. It gives the offense a tremendous advantage, the team a whole advantage. Offensively we need to capitalize more off of them, get some more points out of it. But they did a tremendous job, whether that's if their offense gets good field position, holding them to three or nothing, and then just giving us good field position…Whatever it is, it's just all very beneficial for our team.
Q. Are you nervous before games? Do you have a way to calm yourself if necessary?
A: No, it's just a football game I've been playing since I was five. Kind of just treat everything like practice.
Q. One of the most common questions you are getting in New Jersey is did Rutgers recruit you?
A: A little bit, yeah. Not heavy though.
Q. Were you surprised by that at the time?
A: At the time? I don't know. I'm not going to comment on it. But no, I was not heavily recruited by Rutgers.
Q. How much have you seen the offensive line improve last week and maybe the week before? They got the game ball, but what did you see from them as far as improvement?
A: They've improved a ton week in and week out for the past couple weeks. They've been meeting so much and all the walk throughs and everything. They've taken such attention to detail with everything, and I just appreciate everything they're doing. Last week, not this past week, but the week before that, I made their jobs a little harder with some of the sacks, could have helped out with some of them. So, this week really honed in on it, just tried to get that number down as low as possible and I'm going to continue to try to do that moving forward.
Tight End Darren Waller
Q. Do you feel like you've done enough running and cutting where you feel like you can do everything that you want at this point?
A: Yeah, I mean, definitely like what I want to do, and what I've been used to doing is like 70-80 snaps a game So, coming out the first week, probably not that but as far as a number that's solid that can contribute in whatever ways he needs me to contribute but also be fresh, assuming that's realistic but yeah, I plan on contributing given the opportunity.
Q. Is the motivation very high to come back? Sometimes veterans, later in the season kind of look at the finish line and say 'Well, maybe I'll wait.'
A: I don't try to approach it with that mindset because it's like a little bit of entitlement. You don't know when could be your last game, you know what I'm saying? How many opportunities you're going to get. I've been in a position where I didn't think I was going to get any more opportunities so every game I plan on attacking if I'm available.
Q. Been a new quarterback since you've left.
A: Yeah, he's alright, isn't he?
Q. How much work did you get in with him in the preseason, in the training camp, and things like that?
A: I got some work in with him in the one-on-one periods, I know in Detroit some and then here as well. But I've been keeping an eye on him since April. You just kind of watched everybody and saw some flashes when he first got here. It's a lot of volume in the offense but the stuff that was simple to him once he got there was just zoned it. It's like 'Woah, he's got something' so it's cool to see him capitalize.
Q. How have you seen him progress just over the time he's been starting?
A: I think he's doing a great job. I think he's – it starts with a calm demeanor and just confidence in yourself and that exudes out and guys in the huddle are going to feed off of that. They're following your lead. He's very conscious of that and plays free, man. Like he said, this is football. I've been doing this my whole life and he's got an opportunity to slow things down a little bit and you keep doing that as long as you can get reps and once the game slows down in here (your head), it's easier to just let your body take over.
Q. I know you haven't played with him in a game yet but what kind of quarterback is he? Compared to a DJ (quarterback Daniel Jones) or a (quarterback) Tyrod (Taylor)?
A: He's his own man. I don't really know how to compare all of the three. They're all guys that can make plays with their legs, and move around but yeah, (quarterback) Tommy (DeVito) puts his own flavor on it, gets the crowd going, gets the team going and he's just becoming more consistent and very efficient in what he's doing so just glad to see it.
Q. Have you been practicing the celebration??
A: Yeah, I've been watching the games at home like (does hand motion). How could you not be happy for the guy? He's such a good dude, levelheaded, always learning and just trying to do things the right way.
