Postgame – N.Y. Giants

LB Jerome Baker (transcribed by New York Giants)

(You guys didn’t have an answer for a long time. In the beginning it was a lot of back and forth. Can you speak to what happened today?) – “We didn’t come out in the second half and play as a team. That’s really all it is. We didn’t come out an execute. Giants did a great job of coming out in the second half and capitalizing on that. We can’t blame anybody, we can only look at ourselves in the mirror and just say we came up short.”

(Is it hard for players to come out when its been a hard year and its late into the season?) – “No, we’re NFL players – every time you step on that field if you don’t take it serious you’re going to get hurt. I don’t think we’re about that to much, it’s still a pride thing. It’s our job, we still have to come out and execute and play as a team.”

(How much of it was a turning point after the safety and after the punt getting great field position and then scoring right away?) – “Yeah that was tough, as a defense we have to have our offenses back, so we didn’t do that and Giants did a great job at capitalizing on it.”

(You pick off Eli three times and lose. When you pick him off three times do you feel like you should have the upper hand?) – “Yeah. It’s a team game, it is not just one thing. We all have to play better on all three phases. We just have to comeback tomorrow and go back to work.”

(When you guys face a guy like Saquon as a runner how difficult is that?) – “It’s hard, he’s one of the great backs in this league. He gets after it, we respect it and it’s our job to stop that. You can’t stop a guy like that you can only contain him and we didn’t really contain him at all.”
