Q: Did what happened in the OTA’s and this minicamp make you feel more energized for what you think can happen this season; or less?

A: I just think OTA’s is a place where you bond with your teammates. You start to get better, you start to create chemistry with one another. Everyday that we came out here we work, we work, we work, we work, and we work. You know, going into meeting rooms we meet and we meet. Those are things that just get us better as players. But now, today is the last day of OTA’s and you need to continue that on and off the field. What you do behind closed doors it shows on the field. If you’re out partying and all that then you come here and you will be out of shape. If you choose to go by it the right way, it shows.

Q: How do you handle your 6 weeks?

A: I spend it with family most of the time and I try not to get distracted and try to do the little things. You know, try to get better at things I know I’m not good at on the field. Studying more and that is basically it.

Q: How much do you work out? How much do you get on the field?

A: I work out everyday, mostly. I probably take one day off, probably in all the days I work out, but then I start unloading when training camp is about to start. To actually feel better, which I do feel better when I’m working out, but that is basically it.

Q: You gave that message to your teammates today?

A: I’m pretty sure they get the picture. We had guys come in here, and veteran guys too that have been talking. They understand the message. We had team meetings with a list of instructions with the better opportunities you are going to get. Trust me I am living proof of it. You know 2 years ago; I probably wouldn’t even be here, but I understand the distractions, so I’m good.

Q: Where do you plan on spending July 4th this year?

A: I’ll be out of the country.

Q: Out of the country?

A: I told you 2 years ago I am out of the country every 4th of July.

Q: Where did you go last year?

A: Sweden.

Q: And this year?

A: I’m not telling you. I’m out of the country.

Q: I won’t follow you.

A: I’m out of the country.

Q: How have you been clicking so far with the rookie newcomers so far on the line, such as Avery Moss and Dalvin Tomlinson?

A: You know, as rookies, you don’t know what to expect coming in. And I used to be that guy too. You don’t understand what you are about to get into. I think us as veterans did a good job of making them feel comfortable of coming in and it is okay to make mistakes. I still make mistakes to this day. But we made them feel comfortable and I told them that any situation that you have got, you call me. If you want to talk about plays you know I am here to talk. So that was basically it. We made them feel comfortable and they are okay.

Q: How was your physical? What kind of shape are you in?

A: I am in great shape. I can be in better shape, but I will be ready to go come September.

Q: Is this the best shape you have been in you think?

A: Yes. I won’t say it’s the best shape. I am still rehabbing; you know doing the little things to get me better. But I will be in the best shape, you know, come the first game.

Q: Were you limited at all?

A: No I was not limited. I did everything in OTA’s. I thought I was going to be limited, but I did everything.

Q: What are you looking to do weight-wise? I know you have trimmed it down a little bit last year.

A: I’ll be at the perfect weight to help me play better this year.

Q: What do you think that is?

A: I don’t know.

Q: Do you look at your new contract as pressure to perform?

A: I don’t look at my new contract as pressure to perform. I just look at it as it was an opportunity given to me. I am going to play it out and get another one. Hopefully, I am here.

Q: You dominated in Cleveland last year. Is that, or was that, kind of like a comeback type of game. How often can you reach that type of dominance?

A: I think I dominated every game that I played last year. Not just the Cleveland game. That is basically how I see it. I think I dominated every game that I had played last year. I look back on the tape and I saw a player who was just only getting better, you know, so.

Q: Can you talk about what Father’s Day means to you?

A: Father’s Day? I am a brand new father, that is how I see it. You know Father’s Day is a lot. I can teach my son things, and I see my son growing, and I spend time with him. That is basically it. I am still a new father and at the end of the day, you only start being a father by learning what your child needs. Nobody can teach you how to be a father. You just can see them and hopefully you will get to be a better father.

Q: How old is he now?

A: He is going on 3.

Q: Does he know you play for the Giants?

A: Oh, yes he know I play for the Giants, he knows I play for the Giants. He might even know my number.
Some of those questions are just awful

Did they really need to press him on his 4th of July plans like that?

Really ridiculous and hasn't a damn thing to do with football. Some really fucking dumb questions.
