Postgame – N.Y. Giants

LB Vince Biegel (transcribed by New York Giants)

(What was difficult for you guys in the second half?) – “I think the biggest thing for us in the second half was we couldn’t stop the run. We weren’t solid on our edges and that starts with the front, setting the edge, it starts with the secondary. Through and through we weren’t able to accomplish that in the second half and it showed. We didn’t put our offense in the best field position. We didn’t give them enough opportunities so I think there are a lot of things we can do as a defense that we can correct and get better for next week.”

(This is the first time in a while that you guys didn’t fight back. What was different today?) –  “I feel like the Giants, credit to them, they got momentum and they made the plays when they needed to make them. Flat out we didn’t make the stops when we had to so it’s a credit to the Giants. They were able to come out and execute at a high level. I think it goes back to us, self-inflicted wounds and those are the things we have to clean up if we want to be a great team and if we want to be a team that can win week in and week out. I believe in all of these guys in the locker room. We want to get better. If you come to practice, we’re grinding. We work hard and the effort is not the question, it’s going out there and being able to execute at a high level.”

(What happened on the play where you made an interception?) – “Slot curl drop and I was able to re-route. I fell right into coverage and PG (Patrick Graham) talked about all week how one of Eli’s (Manning) favorite routes is a slant so I felt the slant behind me and I was able to get one thrown right to me in the bread basket and was thankfully able to make the play and put our offense in good field position. It was my first career interception and it wasn’t up against that bad of a quarterback so I was very, very thankful. And it was a good play call as well on PG’s end.

(How tough has it been when you go into the huddle and you might not know the people in there because things have been changing so much?) –  “I think it’s a credit to the coaching staff to be able to get our guys [ready] – I look back sometimes in our secondary and I’m still learning the names. It’s a credit to our coaching, it’s a credit to the guys in our locker room. To be able to go out there and understand our assignments, our techniques and to go out there and be competitive. As we finish the season here, those guys will be able to continue to come into fruition and finish strong with us. Obviously, a lot of work. Most importantly, I think it falls on guys like me, who have been here the whole season. We have to go out there and continue to lead and continue to get this organization in the right direction.”

(You said you intercepted a guy that wasn’t bad, what did you think about the amount of respect that he has here?) –  “I’ve got a ton, a ton of respect for Eli Manning. He’s been doing this for a very, very long time. I remember being a kid in middle school watching him so to be able to go out there and line up against him is truly an honor and there is a strong possibility this could be his last game here. Credit to him, but I think most importantly, focusing on us, there were a lot of things that we need to improve on and I think it starts tomorrow on those corrections and moving forward.”
