NYG Postgame (at Philadelphia Eagles) Transcripts: TE Evan Engram

October 22, 2020

Q: Take us through that play with a little over two minutes left, what you saw, what you think happened.

A: Got the look we wanted, man look, won on the inside fade, DJ threw a great ball, just didn’t finish the play.

Q: Is that one you expect to make, or you think you should make?

A: Yes, 100%, I got to make that.

Q: What’s the frustration level between that play at the end of the game, and the interception when the ball bounced off your hands? How frustrating is it that things like this keep happening? Where are you at right now?

A: It’s tough, you know. Don’t want to be on the short end of a turnover. I got to be better with mechanics and small things. It sucks. It’s a sucky feeling right now, just got to get back to work and correct the mistakes.

Q: What is going through your head after that drop at the end, and what’s your mindset after that happened?

A: Obviously it sucked not making that play. The defense was out on the field. Whether they got the stop or the Eagles scored, we were going to get the ball back. So I was staying in the game, being ready for whatever. But, obviously, it’s frustrating, it’s not a good feeling not making that play and possibly putting the game on ice.

Q: What is the mood of this team right now, obviously you guys were up 21-10 going into the 4th quarter, you’re 1-6, so you don’t want to lose, what’s the mood of the team coming out of this?

A: It’s just a sucky feeling, it really sucks right now.

Q: Is this loss a little bit different because you guys were right there as a ball club and you had your chances tonight, did you feel like you let one get away?

A: Yeah, we definitely let one get away. Not a good feeling. We were up, we played a great fourth quarter, and at the end, just didn’t finish.

Q: I’m not sure if you’ve been a part of all three, but that’s three years in a row the Giants have had an 11 point lead, a 14 point lead, and a 16 point lead here and you lost. I’m wondering if that at any point becomes psychological, eight in a row against the Eagles, that they obviously seem to have your number.

A: Yeah, it’s a division rival. That streak is definitely too long. We were close to getting one today. We’re not really worried about the past, but today was one we had and just didn’t finish.

Q: Why do you think you guys haven’t been able to get over the hump against these guys in your career?

A: Just stuff like tonight. Not finishing. That’s it. When you have a lead like that, in the fourth quarter towards the end of the game, when you have a cushion like that and don’t finish… just not finishing.
Hopefully this is his final one as a member of the New York Football

for this era of New York Giants football.

One of my least favorite players ever.

Engram seems like a good guy  
Chris684 : 10/23/2020 12:55 am : link
maybe part of the reason he’s survived this long. That and being a 1st round pick.

But it’s over here. We need to move on. NYG needs to look at what Minnesota did with YN. Get what you can for him. A 4th, 5th, whatever.
send him packing.

he's not a winner. doesn't have it in him.

4 years in the league all he had to do was get better at blocking to be worthy of a roster spot.

seriously would anyone be upset if he was a great blocker and a decent receiver on short routes and in the endzone? no. but he isn't.

I don't want to comment on the guy's character, but as a football player he is hot garbage. How can a guy who does nothing but practice catching footballs while running not make a play like that? He wasn't even close to making it. Given the situation of the game, he should have leapt out of his shoes if necessary to make sure he made that play. It was do or die. A win against the Eagles hanging in the balance! Something that hasn't happened in 4 years! The fact that he tried to hurdle someone on another play when he was 7 yards from the marker shows he has no situational awareness. You can't fix that.

Think of it. Guys like him have played football all their lives. They do it day in, day out. Yet the basic stuff is out of reach.

Well said ...
Talk about not finishing...well he may be finished as a Giant

I really want him to turn this around  
Jim in Forest Hills : 10/23/2020 8:44 am : link
Judge says he works really hard. That does count for something. I wouldn't be upset if they traded him, but I hope he can be a useful player the rest of the year.
I am so F'ing sick of this dude.

So F'ing sick of him. Sure, he might be a nice guy, but he is trash. I'd cut his ass today.
Someone with more time than me needs to make a video

Of all his missed passes that have hit his hands over the years. It would be a brutal watch. He has dropped so many passes that have destroyed drives. So many on third down right in his hands.

Trade him for whatever they can get.
Trade him  
Harvest Blend : 10/23/2020 9:11 am : link
trade him now for anything. The Giants will never become winners with him playing for them.

They have to get out under from this 5th year option stuff.

Disclaimer: I'm frustrated as hell but he got to go.

There are no medals for trying. This dude just does not get it done. And there is nothing to indicate that will change. Actually, we are at about the point in the year where he gets hurt. Lets hope he is traded in the next 7 days before that can occur.
Oh well, I dropped the game winning pass and also caused

an interception. Ho hum, I need to do better (where are my Bentley keys?).

He needs to play for the Jets.
