Super Bowl XLVI – Wednesday, February 1, 2012(on his goal for the game) “Obviously the Giants have a great offense right now. (Giants OC) Kevin Gilbride does an excellent job coordinating with them. Eli Manning is doing a phenomenal job at quarterback along with their offensive line whether it’s in the running game or protecting him. They are a really solid group, and have been working together for a long time. Obviously, it’s a tremendous challenge for us to get ready for a team like this with the skill players they have, the balance in the offense and the way they attack defenses. That’s kind of our main focus.”
(on how much he learns from the first meeting against the Giants this season) “I think you always try to look at all the games that you played against an opponent no matter who it is and try to analyze closely as well as the games throughout the season. It’s certainly part of your study.”
(on if he has watched every Giants game this season) “We try to make sure we watch all the snaps. Definitely.”
(on if he has watched a Giants game more than once) “I think we’ve probably seen a few snaps a couple times. Sometimes you do.”
(on how much the Giants have changed from the beginning of the season to now) “I think teams no matter who it is, or who you’re playing evolve throughout the year. That’s what you’re trying to figure out is where they’ve evolved to.”
(on the Giants running game statistically) “They’ve got a great running game. I’m not really hung up on stats or anything. I think we got to focus on doing a good job of just making sure we can defend what they do.”
(on the importance of statistics) “I think stats are for everybody else to get excited about and take a look at. We’re just trying to do a good job defending whatever our opponent is going to do that week.”
(on the defense evolving) “I think no matter what your coaching position defense, offense, special teams I think you’re trying to improve with that unit every week. I think that’s what we’re looking for is trying to get that steady improvement as we work through the season and now the postseason trying to get better every day, every week.”
(on the challenges of the Giants’ offense) “They obviously present a lot of challenges from the quarterback position to the run game to the pass game. I think all of it presents a big problem for us to try to stop it. They’re a great offense. They are really clicking right now and have had success so it’s a big challenge for us.”
(on the Giants style of play) “I think they do a good job understanding the balance of the game. If they can run the ball they’re going to run. If they need to throw, they are going throw. They do a good job of moving back and forth in between both aspects of the game. I think they really understand which is their strong point when they need to go to it depending on the game situation.”
(on what he notices from his defense over the last three or four games) “I think just in general what we are trying to do every game, every week is just try to improve. We have guys that work extremely hard. We are very fortunate to have guys that love the game, work hard at the game and will come in everyday and try to make themselves better. That’s what’s really been going on and hopefully we continue to do that.”
(on Vince Wilfork’s performance this year) “Vince has obviously had a great year for us, and is an extremely strong leader for us and someone we can count on a great deal. We are very fortunate to have a guy like that, lead our defense and guys can follow him and take his example up and try to emulate it.”
(on Brandon Spikes) “Brandon is another guy that’s trying to work hard every day, improve and get himself up to a high standard of play. Someone who is trying to come in and learn the defense to the best of his ability and just try to get better. He’s a big part in what we do and just try to get him better every day.”
