"I thought that David Carr did a nice job tonight. We were able to rush the ball; we were able to do a few things early on. Trouble on our special teams and our cover teams late, but we were able to hang in there and win a game. We got a lot of people to play. We saw a lot of versatility, so it is a good way to finish up the preseason for us." - Head Coach Tom Coughlin on the Giants offense vs. the Patriots
