Jets 17, Giants 3: Post-Game Quotebook

Here is some of what the New York Giants were saying after Monday night's disappointing 17-3 loss to the New York Jets.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin assessed both the good and the bad of what he saw.
"We did some decent things in the first half. The two interceptions and the long kickoff return but our defense played solid football. The turnover thing hurt us and the kick returns hurt us," Coughlin said. "I was happy with the way the defense played."
Coughlin on the two interceptions by quarterback Eli Manning.
"The first one was a blitz and we didn't get a sight adjustment by either the tight end or the Z. Unfortunately there was no time for him to do anything about it and he threw the ball and it was picked off. The second one, I don't think he saw the linebacker at all," Coughlin said. "I'm not concerned. Would I have liked to have done better? Yeah. I'd like to think that we would have put some points on the board. Until tonight, he's been very good with the ball; very conservative with the ball."
Here is how Manning assessed the interceptions
"One was fourth down. Had a good blitz on and tried to hang in there and wait for Victor [Cruz] to open up. It just took a little longer than expected, but one of those deals," Manning said. "You don't want to throw it away or take a sack in that situation. Tried to time it out and it looks like the ball may have floated on me a little bit.
"The next one, they had a good blitz on again. Tried to back-shoulder Ahmad [Bradshaw], but the linebacker played it pretty well. That one's on me. Just have to throw it away, make a better decision right there."
Manning makes a fair point about the first pick having come on fourth down. He has no choice but to try to squeeze the ball in somewhere. He simply made a bad throw.
Running back Brandon Jacobs on the fact that the offense could not generate a touchdown.
"We're close, I mean we have just got to get a few things knocked out, you know the little mistakes we made during the game. Like I said, it's not like they stopped us. Everyone could see, everyone in the stadium, everyone watching on TV, they could not stop us, we stopped ourselves," Jacobs said. "Not taking anything away from them, they are a good football team, good coaching, it's just that we can do better."
By the way, I'm sure Jacobs was asked after the game about his scuffle with Muhammad Wilkerson of the Jets. Nothing about it on the transcript we were provided with, though. Disappointing.
Giants center David Baas, also on the lack of points.
"We have to correct some things. We really slowed ourselves down. That is basically the point right there. We were moving the ball and doing some good things," Baas said. "There are some good things to take away from this game. We have to learn from it and move on. It's frustrating because we did some good things but we just didn't score points."
Long snapper Zak DeOssie on the poor special teams play.
"It's important to keep in mind it's the preseason. We have the young kids out there and we're trying to learn it. It's the preseason and we have to learn from it," DeOssie said. "The way we played last week and the way we played this week, it's up and down and we have to be more consistent than that."
Well ... the point is a lot of those young guys are going to be on the team and on the coverage units. Jerrel Jernigan on punt returns? That's another story.
Justin Tuck on the state of the injury-depleted Giants defense.
"I think we're pretty ready. Considering the injuries we've had and the guys we've brought in and things of that nature, I feel as though we're flying around, and we showed some great things," Tuck said. "Once we get to game planning a team like we will, watching them, for that first game, you'll see us really get a whole lot more comfortable with our schemes, and fly around. That's the only thing I ask from my defenses, no matter what the call is, just make sure you're running fast and I think in preseason we've done that."

Jacobs...
Like I said, it’s not like they stopped us. Everyone could see, everyone in the stadium, everyone watching on TV, they could not stop us, we stopped ourselves
He is correct but this line is getting old and insulting. How about NOT beating yourselves instead of just spewing the same old excuse, no?
Let's agree to disagree - right after you admit that you're completely wrong.
SERENITY NOW!!!!
Eli stopped us. Pathetic bro.
Bring on Carr, trade Eli for someone else. Did you see Snee face when Eli threw the fist pick…priceless. Like saying " Here he goes again"
Eli definitely needs to go see a sports psychologist about the INTs
Let's agree to disagree - right after you admit that you're completely wrong.
SERENITY NOW!!!!
I agree with all above
Cephalo-caudal specialist. Get your head out of your ass before throwing.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
Tom Quinn Must Go!

Yeah. We are gonna trade Eli. Get real.
Bring on Carr? I’m guessing you didn’t watch the second half.
yeah seriously
Carr sucked it up big time
Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

I am sorry I have been a Giants fan since before conception...
I have never been a big fan of someone who have been riding a defense forever, shows no leadership and IS very careless with the football. It is time to start looking for a FUTURE QB, Eli has got to go, never liked him, never will, HE IS NOT A LEADER. What a pathetic display last night by this guy. He is either too comfortable with NOT having someone up his tail, or he just plain is inept and is finally being exposed! Eli is not a JR guy, so let’s start looking for someone with more poise, leadership and charisma or this season si going down the toilet with this guy as our QB. I predict another 25 plus ints for this guy. I feel so bad for the Defense, couldn’t get OFF the fidl fast enough and this guy proceeded to give the ball away. Defense is going to get killed like that.
Kent Graham
he was awesome!

I'd calm down a little bit. It's Pre-Season, and with a short camp.
All the moving parts on O still have a way to go, but it’s probably true for the Skins, too, and that’s the first game that counts.
I am concerned that only half of the problem gets discussed on the “bad decisions” by Eli. All the focus seems to be on whether or not the guy downfield is open, or who did his reads properly. At least half the problem on most Eli INT’s is his propensity to think he can throw off his back foot. He can’t. He just can’t. Favre could give you gems and turds throwing off his back foot. With Eli, it’s just turds. He’s gotta make that more of his mental process. “Can I step up and throw here?” If not, move around in the pocket until he can, throw it away, take the sack, whaterver.
u so silly..
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'z SUCK!!? Mark Herzlich, Greg Jones,Spencer Paysinger...Maybe not..
Whoops should have read further
this is the first brilliant comment of the day. I’m glad that you as a fan, with no access to actual players, can make such firm judgement statements on Eli’s character and leadership abilities. Give me a break.

Why are we overreacting???
It’s preseason! When have we scored 3 TDs in the preseason with our first team O? The ints are irritating, but when we gameplan for them you think we won’t have answers and score points? I’ll accept a 4th down int, the other int he tried to squeeze it in. Why not try to in preseason?
When it counts, Hixon will be 3rd guy. Cruz, though talented, doesnt make adjustments onthe fly as of yet. Hoxon has more experience and Coughlin isn’t going to risk turnovers because of miscommunication.
The heart of our team is our D! They were awesome! Ross looks great. Just like every season our D holds it down for the O early in the season til they get into a grove. Lets NOT FREAK OUT GUYS!

I agree...but
this we are close and needs some minor adjustments and we beat ourselves is getting a little old! Manning should be doing much better in his decision making at this point in his career…take the sack and keep the possesion!
D was on point last night…no doubt about that!
Nicks and Ham were open all night long…Ham should have had two TD’s if the ball was thrown correctly.
Need to get it together quickly!

preseason, preseason
yet Eli is still inconsistent. I understand being positive but I’m not thrilled with what the Giants are trying to march out there disguised as a passing game. Nicks and Ham are fine but we’ve got nothing else at either 3WR or TE and it’s showing. People bashed Boss on here but I’d kill to have him out there over that bum Beckum.
Eli needs more weapons and for that I have to blame Jerry Reese. He thought that going into the season without a starting TE and a competent 3rd wideout was a stellar idea.
God forbid that he would have really let Bradshaw walk out of here because the offense would be even more dreadful.
It’s time to get back to old Giants football. Put the ball into Bradshaw and Jacobs hands more, punish the defense.
So, can anyone tell me why the Giants did not ask Manning to restructure his deal?
preseason
but the mistakes we’re seeing from Eli are carrying over from the previous year.

If the 4000 yards and the 30 tds carry over too

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
What a mess
I do not think this is an overreaction. I don’t care that we lost this game. I care that the first team offense was totally inept again. Same mistakes as last year.
Eli still overthrowing, making mental mistakes. Preseason or not, inexcusable. And the dopey attitude! Where is the leadership and the fire to win?
Dumb, immature behavior by Jacobs.
Special Ed teams taking the field, totally inept. Tom Qu__in still here!
More later when Ed does the Kudos and Wet Willies but the mistakes here are not preseason mistakes. It is a lost team. TC better wake up and smell the poop because it is on his face.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

Yeah 200+
in one half against a supposedly elite defense is not inept by any stretch. Would I have loved three scores? Of course. But I’m not getting hysterical when I see them marching up and down the field on a strong defense with a lot of pride.

because no one on here has any idea what an O coordinator really does of who is any good other than what we heard on TV or read in the papers.

Special teams are a disaster
Jets first team scored after being set up with a long kickoff return . at least the kicker knows how to tackle.
Jernigan? he’s the punt return version of Matt Dodge, every punt is an adventure. Hope they stop using him. Sometimes you have to give a high draft pick a chance, sometimes you have to cut your losses early. Can’t say I know when, hope Giants know.
I think
the Jernigan experiment should be over now. Two muffs and a fumble are you kidding me?

Is the Danny Ware experiment finally over too?
I always had hope that Ware would show more than he has.
Yeah, he didn’t fumble or do too bad but seeing AB come on the field last night showed just how big a difference there is in talent. I hope to see more of the other backs Thursday, but that won’t really be a fair time to compare our choice for a 3rd back because of the line they’ll be playing behind.
The beer belly kicker has a good chance of making the team
At least he prevented a touchdown. He might be better Tynes. We need to see if he can make 5- yard FG. If he does, I think Tynes should be worried about his job.

You don’t lose your job to injury. Tynes isn’t losing his job to this guy just because he can kick off and Tynes has a thigh bruise. I’ll take Tynes over that guy any day on FGs.

not one
Eli pass was as good as dirty sanchez’s TD pass to santonio. not one pass. and i’m not talking about this game. this entire preseason. i am not overreacting, and a few years ago people talked about eli “regressing”. well, the next time we see him will be in live fire, and if he plays like this, we will lose. and it may not be close. he looks so skitish this year. maybe hes just trying to avoid injury as it’s not worth it. i hope that’s what it is. but he hasnt thrown a good ball all preseason.
Well said bro.
High throws Eli, will get Nicks killed this season mark my words. That’s why Boss left. He said, enough with Eli’s BS high throws, erratic passes, and inconsistency, coming from a 7 YEAR PRO! Like I said, many players were disgusted with the INTS go back and see AB face after Eli threw the second pick. Is crap bro! 7 years in the league and the guy still plays like a rookie. Have you seen Stafford and Bradford play? Solid QB play from those two kids.
it's major
i’m on the ledge with eli this year. many have said its blasphemous to speak about Eli as being subpar, but if this preseason is any indication, he has regressed considerably. i truly suspect that in the preseason he is not going to risk himself to injury so thats why you see a lot of the throws off his back foot. and i hope he fixes that in the regular season. but this is certain: if eli plays the same as last year, we will go backwards.
Unfortunatley the back foot throw has been in Eli's playbook
since he got here as well as the forcing of throws like he’s playing in the school yard. It’s a real problem and the more the Giants coaches rely on him to be a bigger part of the ofense the more you’ll see it. Eli works best when the run game dominates and he only has to wing it when they need too to make a come back.
I'm pretty sure Boss left
because the Raiders gave him more money than any other team in the league. But your fictional account is more entertaining, I’ll give you that. I’m sure someone who is scared of Eli’s “erratic” play is going to run to JASON CAMPBELL for more consistent throws.

"i am not overreacting"
Um, yeah, you are
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Will be a trying season
Giants may do well. But Manning may drive me nuts in the process.
A couple observations from someone who does not have the benefit of PVR playback – I can only watch this game once ( that’s a good thing).
- I watched Diehl and Beatty a lot. Diehl played well and Beatty was good as well. The left side of the OL is in capable hands
- I watched Linval and JPP a lot. Linval clogs up the middle well and will be OK. JPP is a second year player with lots to learn so let’s not anoint him the next Reggie White just yet. But he will be OK. The Giants will be solid in the trenches.
- Ham and Eli are not on the same page. If they get there it will be splendid. IF.
- Eli misses a reliable safety valve (SS12).
NYG will win some games this year because of defense. I worry abou the ST and the O. If they stack the line against the run will Eli be able to pass them to victory? Sometines yes. Sometimes no.
I will have lots of beer handy when I watch the NYG this season
Bring lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this one! Stand in the Fire.
Keep in mind folks the Jets are a good team
especailly on the defensive side of the ball. Not saying I’m happy about the lack of points the first team should of put one in and had 10 points so the lack of a TD with the way they moved the ball bothers me but its only a preseason game.
What bugs the hell out of me though is how he still has little chemestiry with Manningham and Nicks to some extent its been 3 years with these guys get on the same page already.
With the O why is Cruz playing with the first team, he’s a backup at best, and not a very good one. Our 3 best WRs by far are Nicks, Manningham, and Hixon. Why in the world is anybody but those 3 guys in on 3 WR sets. I mean I heard all camp Manningham could play slot with Hix and Nicks on the outside but have barley seen it this preseason.
I mean this team looks like the same exact team that missed the playoffs last year with maybe a better O-line but worse at WR/TE.
Statisticlly the Giants will be very good this year top 10 O and Top 10 D but wins and loss wise eight nine games maybe 10.
Eli cannot carry this team. He can carry the team and the O here and there but not consitantley. He’s a winner and a gamer but he cant be relied upon to win games week in and week out, he’s waay to innacurate and erractic of a passer, he’s a lot like Sanchez he needs D and big time running game to make deep playoff runs.
Our specials are not good at least they may improve from sucking week in to week out to inconsistantly this year.
D is solid but dont trust it. Between the injuries and the mental lapeses they won’t win a lot of games for us and they’ll continue to keep teams in games. Hopefully they improve they have some talent to do so.
Very up and down year.
Disappointed but can see the light.
I have been touting the hiring of Larry Izzo as a special teams coach & after last week I thought that we had improved but after seeing what DeOssie had to say I have to agree there will be growing pains but we are headed in the right direction. I wished that Eli didn’t throw those interceptions but at least he recognizes what he did wrong. It looks like he is on the same page with Nicks & Hixon but is still out of sync with Manningham. The O line couldn’t push thru for that t.d. but things might have been different if either Jacobs or Bradshaw was carrying the ball. Defensively we played well. As of right now there doesn’t seem to be any major injuries. After Thurs. we will have about a week & a half to fine tune some things. Can’t wait for the season to start.
Out of sync with the wide receivers
I’m surprised about Manningham, but that may also be a product of the difficult Jets defense.
I do think that Victor Cruz is getting every chance to prove that he can get in sync with Eli, and is doing a below average job at it. As I stated in my own post below, I think that Cruz might find himself cut.
He’s played a lot with the starters, and I’ve heard his name mentioned more than once in the same sentence as “didn’t pick up on that quickly enough”. Since being able to run the right route based on the defense the other team is running is important for the Giants, I think Cruz’s lack of ability so far in that area could get him in trouble. With Hixon recovered, guys like Thomas and Clayton off the street and looking good on special teams, I’m not convinced that the Giants won’t just let him go.
Good lord.
There was no off season to get everybody on the same page. They are trying to figure out who will be the 3rd WR and new TE, and it is clear that Cruz doesn’t quite run the routes as well as he needs to do. The offensive line has a brand new guy at center and is missing two guys who had been there for a very long time. They were running a playbook that will only slightly resemble the one they use for real when they face the Jets in December.
As far as I’m concerned, there were only a couple things I can take from this game:
1. NO SIGNIFICANT INJURIES to anybody really important on offense or to starting DB. Thank God.
2. Victor Cruz needs to hurry up and learn how to run precise routes and read defenses. If he doesn’t, I think he’s got a real shot of finding himself outside looking in.
3. They need to pick a role for Beckum and just let him do that one thing. I think that kid keeps getting asked to do different things, and he looks like somebody with raw ability that is thinking too much when he’s on the field.
4. Poor JJ12 I think he suffered more than anyone else on the team by not having an off-season with the team. I saw him play in college, and this kid has a lot of talent. It is too bad he didn’t get a chance to learn all the routes and get more a chance to be a WR instead of a punt returner (since that’s not going so well right now.)
5. MANY of the 2nd stringers looked pretty bad, and I think we’re going to see a bunch of them lose their jobs to undrafted free agent rookies or other pickups. (I’m looking in your direction linebackers, wide receivers, and running back.)
Cannot wait until the Giants get new fans
who actually appreciate their players.
"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Say what you will, I love the GMEN as much as the next guy in here but until Eli stops playing carless football…I stand by my comments
You do realize that a SuperBowl win is not a given right?
So you are flushing that right down the toilet? I like how 2 ints in the PRESEASON is careless football. What about Sanchez’ dropped snap? That’s pretty careless if you ask me.

Eli isn’t as bad as he played. They need to give him a new coach. Don’t forget he’s a Superbowl winner.

"Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head." - Eli Manning
Sorry, I'm not on the ledge yet...
Did you notice that the game was………boring??? The Giants and Jets looked like two bad, out of kilter teams feeling around trying to string two or three plays together. They both looked bad and dysfunctional. Now I’m not saying it was all bad, but neither was stringing together series of plays and executing them well.
I think a lot of the griping and crying is due to their not being a normal preparation period for the season and it’s probably time to accept that the NFL product this year is going to be diluted, especially early in the season as teams try to figure out who they have, work on timing and execution and build a base from which to work.
Speaking of execution, isn’t Quinn in line for one at 1:15?
