NEW YORK GIANTS MEDIA DAY - SAFETY KENNY PHILLIPS - Ingles

Super Bowl XLVI – Tuesday, January 31, 2012

(on what gets him amped before the game) “Actually I kind of listen to gospel most of the time. I don’t like to be super excited before a game. I like to be calm and just relaxed.”

(on his touchdown dance) “I have no idea. Whatever comes to me I’ll just do. I hope it’s not silly.”

(on if the Giants win, where he will party) “I’m going to party in New York and then probably go to sleep.”

(on the biggest key when he faces a guy like Tom Brady) “Just try to be tight in coverage. He definitely is a gunslinger. Even though you have guys covered up he throws them open. It’s definitely key to just stay close in coverage and for those guys up front to really get after him.”

(on if he has seen a player like Rob Gronkowski before) “I wouldn’t say I have but we faced some pretty good tight ends this season. This wouldn’t be nothing new for us. But he is definitely a new type of monster.”

(on when he felt this team might be special) “Just basically right before the Jets game. It was kind of win or go home. Our backs were against the wall. We knew we weren’t ready to go home. For some reason we all started bonding to what we were doing. Our chemistry just began to grow and just made it here.”

(on the relationship between the players and Tom Coughlin) “It’s definitely much respect. We may not be on the same page as far as the gap difference in the age but he’s a guy you can definitely go talk to. Even on the plane he doesn’t sit in the front. He is back there with the players and nobody minds. We still are normal. He is just a great guy.”

(on being on time with Tom Coughlin) “We are definitely going to be on time. It’s basically like this, you don’t want to bend the rules. We have respect for one another so you definitely want to be on time for his meetings.”

(on if rigid it good in the NFL today) “He definitely is a winner. The main thing is you got to be consistent. He doesn’t change. You know what you’re going to get with the guy so it’s his way. You just bond to his rules or you’re going to have a long year. You know what you’re going to get from him so just bond to the system which a lot of guys are doing.”

(on where the Giants/Patriots are on the dislike meter) “I have no idea. We are just here to play football. I am not even looking into that.”
