\nReally, since he’s come back, he’s probably the healthiest he’s been.\u00a0 The first year he had no clue, he was just out there.\u00a0 But he’s healthy.\u00a0 He’s stronger than he’s ever been.\u00a0 He’s in great shape.\u00a0 Bill Hughan and company out there, and Paul Ricci and Justus (Galac), they do a great job in there.\u00a0 This kid’s in great shape, as are most of our guys. But I just think he’s stronger.\u00a0 Obviously, he’s going into his fourth year.\u00a0 He’s seen a lot of different things, but that arm looks stronger to me.\u00a0 He’s throwing the ball and really zipping it, throwing with touch and things.\u00a0 I really like the way he’s throwing the football.<\/p>\n
\nI think the biggest wake-up call we had as a football team was the fact that we never made the playoffs.\u00a0 That was a huge wake-up call for us.\u00a0 You can’t just assume you’re going to make it.\u00a0 That starts with me.\u00a0 I knew there had to be a lot of work to be done to make it.\u00a0 And a lot of really good teams every year don’t make the playoffs.\u00a0 That is the first for us since I’ve been here.\u00a0 I think you realize how much you miss it.\u00a0 You want to be involved in that.\u00a0 The guys don’t play this game to collect a check.\u00a0 This organization, our guys, play because they want to be special, and we want to be in those types of games.\u00a0 Obviously, the ultimate is what the Giants accomplished.\u00a0 That’s what we want to accomplish.\u00a0 But not being in the playoffs I think stung everybody and motivated us, drives us, and Sanchez, I think that is the greatest motivator there is.\u00a0 Hunger for being in the postseason is I think the biggest driving force that we have.<\/p>\n
\nI’m not sure, you’d have to ask Mark.\u00a0 When you look at it, we’re excited that Tim Tebow is here.\u00a0 Those two guys are good teammates.\u00a0 They’re good for each other and good for our football team in general.\u00a0 They’re both very competitive guys.\u00a0 That’s great.\u00a0 At the end of the day, we want 53 great competitors and good teammates.\u00a0 I think we’ll have that this year.<\/p>\n
\nYou guys have seen him.\u00a0 You know what I mean?\u00a0 That’s a big man.\u00a0 I remember my dad always saying it’s hard to kick somebody’s butt, I don’t know if he used that exact word. (laughter) But, it’s hard to kick somebody’s butt when he’s kicking your butt.\u00a0 So they’re going to line up and come after Tebow and all that.\u00a0 I can tell you one guy that’s not afraid of it, and that’s Tim Tebow.\u00a0 I’m not afraid of it either.\u00a0 I just think what he can help us with being that personal protector of the punt team is, are you sure you really want to rush that punt?\u00a0 If its fourth-and-six, seven or less, are you sure you really want to rush it, because we may fake it.\u00a0 Westy (Mike Westhoff) is crazy enough to fake it.\u00a0 I mean, Westy will fake it.\u00a0 Let’s face it, Weatherford faked the punt on fourth-and-27 or whatever it was that time. (laughing) So we’ll do it again.\u00a0 But I think you want a guy, we had Brad Smith.\u00a0 Did you really want to rush when Brad Smith was your personal protector?\u00a0 A guy that can throw it?\u00a0 Tim gives you that inside running presence, an outside running presence, he can throw it and oh, by the way, he’ll run.\u00a0 He’s a football player.\u00a0 We’ve said it for a long time.\u00a0 This guy’s an excellent football player and a great competitor.\u00a0 I have a feeling he’ll run down and tackle somebody.<\/p>\n
\nI think we’ve had some ups and downs.\u00a0 He’s probably had a couple of picks today, I think.\u00a0 He was better the first day.\u00a0 I know the way training camp will be, you’ll have the exact numbers and what it was and all that, and that’s fine.\u00a0 But I think he’s done well. I think for everybody, it’s a new offense.\u00a0 You’re trying to learn some basic things, not do anything specifically tailor-made for this quarterback or that quarterback or this guy, running routes with guys.\u00a0 We’re just putting in our base offense and that’s what we’re doing right now.\u00a0 I think he’s got a good grasp of it.\u00a0 I think all the quarterbacks do.\u00a0 I like where our quarterbacks are right now.<\/p>\n
\nThat won’t be until later.\u00a0 You’re talking about wildcat stuff in particular, that will come in later.\u00a0 Right now, it’s installing some of our base offenses.\u00a0 As we know with Tony, the wildcat was part of the offense.\u00a0 It’s just going to go in later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
