New York Giants' notebook, 09.23

Here are a few New York Giants' notes for a Tuesday afternoon.

"I think we have done a good job of finding ways to win," center Shaun O’Hara said. "That’s what you have to do to be a good team, find ways to win, even when you are not playing your best or things are not going as smooth as you would like. You just have to find a way to get it done."

"We still have things we need to work on," quarterback Eli Manning said. "With three games, there is a lot of stuff that happens, that you can make adjustments on, and that’s what we will work on this week."

"This is a team that can still improve," said veteran cornerback Sam Madison. "It’s a team that is still hungry, with a lot of young guys still ready to produce. We’re a football team that still has something to prove. There is a lot of upside to this football team."

To me, that recognition of their imperfections and desire to continue getting better is one of the best things about this team. It is not a team resting on its accomplishments.

SITE NEWS: Big news for Big Blue View this week. I have been invited to write a guest column for 'The Fifth Down,' the New York Times football blog. I believe the column will appear Friday, but I will keep you posted on that. I dreamed about being a sports writer for the Times when I was a kid. So, this will be a huge thrill for me.
