DE Jason Pierre Paul
Postgame vs. New England, November 15, 2015
A: Every day I’m getting better or whatever. Still got some things to take care of.
Q: Obviously a championship team you saw, you guys fought until the end with an undefeated team, defending champion. Do you feel like you guys made a statement to the rest of the league that the
Giants are an elite team?
A: We’ve got a lot of work to do. Yeah, we’re a championship team but that was back then. This is a whole new team, whole new faces. We’ve got a lot of work to do.
Q: How frustrating is a loss like this?
A: Anytime you lose, it’s frustrating. We had it right there until the end. Tom Brady is a good quarterback, you know? We were expecting him to do that, but we expected to stop the ball and get off the field. But he’s a good quarterback, what can I say?
Q: As a leader on this team, the NFC East is a little bit down, you can’t let this game get you guys down going forward.
A: We’ve got to move forward. It’s a terrible loss. We wanted to win so badly, but they executed better than us today. But we’ve got to move on. We’ve got a bye week and guys are leaving or whatever, so we’ve got to come back and get on the roll again.
Q: What was it that you didn’t like about the glove?
A: I just felt like going with the club.
Q: Is this kind of strange timing for you now with the bye? Everyone has just played 10 games.
A: Yeah, I’m just getting warmed up. I’m just getting warmed up, man. Stuff happens. It is what it is, but I’m just getting warmed up and next game will be better.
Q: Are you going to go home?
A: No, I’m staying up here. I’d rather stay up here and keep my mind focused and get ready for the next team.
Q: In another year, you would have gone home?
A: No, not necessarily. Last year, I didn’t go home, I stayed up here. It doesn’t make a difference. I’m just going to get some studying in on the next team and prepare myself to get better.
Q: What can you do during this bye week?
A: Watch film, first watch this film and see what I did wrong and what can I correct. Then start studying the next team. The next team is our next opponent.
Q: What about physically?
A: Physically, I’m good. Physically, I think I’m in good shape. I don’t know, I’m tired man.
Q: This was the first time you’d lost to Brady, right?
A: Yeah, it’s the first time I lost to Brady. I didn’t even think about that, it’s the first time.
Q: Not a good feeling?
A: You win some, you lose some. At the end of the day, I’m just happy to be out there having fun.
Q: You’ve seen progress?
A: Yeah, we’ve got progress. That was one of the top teams.
Q: I mean personally.
A: Yeah, I’m getting better every game. Every game I’m getting better.
JPP's return has kicked up the team's spirit (and pass rush) up a notch. If Cruz returns, and Randle continues to mature, the NYG should be able to make a respectable run to the trophy.
