Cruz on wearing Jordan 45 jersey- "I felt like it was a little symbolism for today. The return was definitely on mind. When [Michael] Jordan came back wearing the 4-5 he wasn't playing with people."

Weston Richburg on the center position: "I think the thing I like about it is the control I have. It's not just a brute strength, hitting people, although it is-- you have to be cerebral as well… I kind of like the mental aspect of it and the leadership role it gives. I think that's why I like it so much."

David Merritt on Bennett Jackson: "When that kid sees the ball he goes and gets the ball. This kid's ability to put his toe in the ground and go and burst out of his break, you guys see it out here, he's able to make plays. He's making production and production, as Spags has said over and over, production is at the ball."

Robert Ayers on getting Michael Strahan's autograph: "He was one of those guys that were on that list for me. I got to meet him and I got his autograph and I wasn't shy about asking him for it. It was kind of, awkward."

Odell Beckham Jr on his status as a second-year player: "No, I still got four more games. Hopefully I can get Rookie of the Week the first week or something like that. So, I don't know. Eli tells me I'm a rookie all the time still, so you just have to take that and keep going every single day. Try and inspire somebody."

Jerry Reese on Jon Beason: "If he can stay healthy I think he gives us a lot of pop in there. He gives us that leadership that you want out of that middle linebacker position. So far, so good. He's been running around and playing with a high motor, he's a high motor player. If he can stay healthy that will be tremendous for us."

Tom Coughlin on rookie Ereck Flowers work ethic: "I love his attitude, his attitude is great. He just goes to work, he doesn't say much. He's got to go through it again. Lots of things to learn, lots of things happen fast. He's out there, he competes."

Landon Collins on the speed of the NFL game: "No, it's not too fast for me. I feel like it's not too fast. I can read, I'm very keen on what's going on. I pay attention a lot and I pick up the defense very well. It gives me the chance to worry about what the offense is doing and not trying to make play calls."

Geoff Schwartz on toughness: "Not many offensive lines that run the ball well aren't considered tough. You can say that you want to be tough but you have to go do it. You have to go out and practice it, you got to go out and do it in games. And that's our goal, is to go out and do it. We can't just sit and talk about it. We just have to go do it by force."

Shane Vereen on the Tom Brady and Eli Manning: "I see the same pedigree. They both work extremely hard, on and off the field. They're both masters of the game in the way they look at it, the way they teach it, the way they carry themselves. They're both leaders. In that sense, they're very similar."
