WR Hakeem Nicks
November 23, 2015
Q: What is it like being back?
A: It feels good. Feels good to be back in the building, definitely feels good to be back in the Giants uniform. Just want to continue to make plays and be a great football player and a great team player.
Q: It is a different playbook from what you remember. How do you think you’ll be able to contribute on a short-term basis knowing you have a lot of stuff to learn?
A: I came in last week and got a head start, but whatever they need me to do, I’m sure they’ll sprinkle me in and get acclimated. But whatever the coaches need me to do, whatever they need me here to be, that’s what I will be.
Q: How much does it help that you and Eli know each other like the back of your hand?
A: That helps a lot. That helps a lot, that chemistry. We’re definitely looking forward to it. Glad to be back in this position again, playing with Eli again. I look forward to everything that is about to come.
Q: When you left here, did you think there was ever a chance that you’d be back?
A: In my heart. I felt like this is where I wanted to be in my heart. Business is business and it’s going to play out the way it’s going to play out, and fortunately I was blessed enough to be back in this position.
Q: How tough was it to sit out for the first three months of this year?
A: That competitive job and I just had to stay in it. Came up with a little that my agent made sure I got off the couch every week by going to see different teams. So that’s kind of how I got every week started, I’d watch Sunday football, then go see a team, get a little workout in and just keep it going throughout the week. I was just making sure I was keeping up with my body and when the time came, I wouldn’t be slacking and I would fit right in.
Q: What do you feel you can bring to this team walking in as late as right now?
A: Confidence level. It’s a new season, we got a six-game schedule. I’ve seen this before and we’re right where we need to be in this division. Just look forward to what’s at hand.
Q: How do you feel?
A: I feel great.
yea, really. I don't care for the comment that his agent was making him get off the couch for that once a week workout.
- don't expect to be tied for 1st this late in the season EVERY year.
- don't assume you still have many playing years ahead of you.
Carpe Diem!
His speed is compromised due to injury, so it is probably more important he learns the plays and where to find the weak part of the defenses.
He could always catch the back shoulder pass.
So much about this guy that needs answers,
I remain hopeful yet cautiously optimistic.
Maybe Luck didn't throw to Nicks because he wasn't open much or because Nicks didn't do much with the balls that were thrown to him, but he was always looking for Hilton first.
This sums it up perfectly for me.
But if he can get to the right place and catch the ball dependably, we've got a guy who can move the chains. If he's healthy, he might even be unstoppable in the slot.
90% of this board said the same thing about JPP. I forgot what experts you all are.
He's having a career season. Always hope.
