Tom Coughlin Ball Quotations

He looked OK. He took most of the reps throughout practice. He threw the ball well, he was sharp with it and he was quick in his movements. I was pleased with the day.

I think our passing game was not very good. I think our offensive line performed very well and we ran the ball with consistency. But we have work to do with some of the basics with regard to our passing game.

It came from the gut. We'd driven the ball and I felt like we needed to come away with a touchdown there.

We didn't run the ball like we really thought we might. We didn't have any balance. We didn't make any first downs. We got no rhythm going offensively.

We ran the ball last year on paper well, but some of the situation stuff wasn't as good, ... I think we need to be able to run the ball when we want to run the ball.

We didn't stop anything. They ran the ball when they wanted to and they threw the ball when they wanted to.

We had thrown the interception and didn't think we would ever get the ball back,

However, on the road in that stadium under those circumstances, I felt our team needed to be rewarded for driving the ball that distance to take some of the momentum out of the crowd. If we would have not scored, then I think we would have even created a greater volume of noise in that stadium.
