Back at Valley Ranch: "He's an outstanding player, no question about that," Garrett said Monday when asked where Eli Manning falls among clutch quarterbacks. "His resume speaks for itself. His game tape speaks for itself. He's got great poise. He's got great command of the offense, a great command of what defenses are trying to do. He plays within the system. When things break down, he's able to get out of the pocket and make some plays and certainly has played with great poise in critical situations throughout his career. So it will be a great challenge for us. He's a heck of a player."
