No, no, no, no. Oh, no,

In today’s world of professional football, you’ve got to go for it. When you have a chance to make a run, you take it.

He has had a physical with us. That’s all that’s taken place. If this triggers another round of hysteria, it will be inaccurate just like the last round. Nothing has happened in the negotiations. Obviously,...

I never like to be too optimistic about contracts because you’re really not close until you sign them. Sometimes you can get to the brink and never get it done. But we’re pretty positive about...

He’s got great numbers, considering his injuries, … If he’s healthy he’s on a course for a big-time career.

Yes, … That’s the QB I saw at Mississippi. All the qualities were present: poise, quick recognition and release, crisp throws, strength and accuracy with the long ball. But mostly command.

His brother was on a team that had a little better passing attack. He didn’t get that chance as much. But he is an explosive, high-speed, tough receiver. He is just not real big. Normally...

I really have never bought into that San Francisco game, and maybe players might have a different view, … My feeling coming out of that game, as heartbreaking as it was, was that I thought...

You could see the difference right away. It was not just the things he can do that we didn’t have any more. With Michael, the other team knows there is a guy they have to...

You might have 15 players rated with the same grade. If it is close, you might go with the need, but it has to be very close. This is no perfect formula. If there is...

But you still have to go play, … This is a sport where you get hit in the mouth 15 times a day. I don’t care how much emotion you have, you still have to...

He is a clutch player, a class athlete, he’s great in the clubhouse and he has three Super Bowl rings. He just adds stature to your team.

We came to an agreement that acknowledges what everybody wants – the player being rewarded for performance.

There were other safeties up there, but [Wilson] was the fastest, … And because of that, our big question with him is, Can he track the ball? We can see him as a weak or...

And the answer is always no.

But he is such an under-control, mature kid. He’s just unflappable. What he went through last year and with the team just decimated around him, he’s just a very poised young man. If it was...

His ‘Take the Field’ program was one of the most innovative and beautiful efforts in athletics in this country, … His efforts provide fields of play for young New York athletes who otherwise would have...

You could hear a pin drop when he was done. It was definitely one of the most impressive interviews I’ve ever been around.

Johnny Unitas. Sure, Johnny had the physical ingredients required: lightning quick release, a laser for an arm, good ability to avoid the rush. But what set Unitas apart was the feeling you got in your...

When you sign on here, you understand this organization. There is so much soul to it, … It’s just the way it is. Players understand that. This has been very emotional for all of them....

Last year I lost three top guys, … because I let them walk out of here. They just took my offer and shopped it around. It wasn’t going to happen again.

We played with such passion in the fundamentals of the game – defense and the running game – which were the two things he loved.

How he plays is going to determine how far we go, absolutely.

When you have a chance to pick what you feel, at least in your own mind, is the franchise quarterback, you make it. If you hit it, you’re set for 15 years.

That’s our ready list. We call every so often to check on those players we might want to bring in for a workout, to see what kind of shape they’re in, and their agents are...

[It is all a puzzle really. The draft, free agency, the tricky salary cap, a little luck here and there. The Giants already have the biggest piece, Manning.] The biggest thing about him, even last...

The kid’s downright unflappable, … I mean, I’ve watched Eli since college and nothing ever seems to bother him. Not being in the NFL. Not playing in the New York spotlight. Not guys dropping perfect...

These are two body punches we’ve taken back-to-back, … We haven’t gotten over Wellington.

We’re trying to be judicious. It’s not fantasy football. This is about people making sound judgements. That’s what we’re trying to do.

It’s always been about the quarterbacks,

I said it’s almost like people are numb,

We were planning on the lowest figures projected. This [delay] doesn’t affect us. It just delays your chance to start looking at [free-agent] players.

In a way, it was the Marine ethic. You know the rules? It’s the officers who eat last. He would always consider himself last.

We don’t even count wins in a quarterback rating. That’s why I have no respect for the quarterback rating.

I’ve always believed you look at things on a case-by-case basis. Running backs are no different. So we look and see what we see.

I think that (the) whole combine demands you to have incredible self-discipline in decision making. It’s invaluable, No. 1, because of the medical (exams). But you better discipline yourself to evaluate a player on the...

Tomlinson has something Sayers had that is rare — the ability to stop and, in one step, to have full acceleration,

He’s moved the team for all three preseason games, … We’re fine with him.

We are not going to pick a linebacker just to pick a linebacker. That is just not going to happen. We are going to pick a player that is decidedly higher rated. We have options.

I think it’s a very solid and deep draft. I really think the top of it is very interesting.

There is a lot more dead money now. You’re basically married to a player for at least two or three years.

He’s just a relentless ‘heart’ player with a lot of talent.

You had a player that wants to be here, agents that were dealmakers and you had a club that wants to keep the player, … When you have all those things working for you, you...

You worry because you don’t know how it’s going to affect them when it comes down to playing, … This is still a game where you’re going to get hit in the mouth every play,...

Young quarterbacks are going to be like this. Do I think he has to play better? Yeah. As we go down the stretch, we’re going to play better teams, and the games are all going...

You have to proceed as if you are not going to have him. That’s the only way you can proceed. We signed two veteran corners, obviously, to protect ourselves. But I think when you get...

Waiting for 25 can be frustrating at times, but you are there for the right reason. You just hope you are even further down every year.

He’s just got that quality, you think you have him trapped, and he changes direction from a dead stop and he’s gone.

I don’t have to talk to Eli. If he were another type of personality, it would be different. But he’s as poised a quarterback as you could want, and he handles every situation in an...

There was a receiver picked the year his brother came out. I heard, ‘We picked the bigger receiver.’ But he wasn’t the better receiver. It is speed that kills. I’m not worried about (size).
