Tight End Lawrence Cager
Q: It was kind of a wild first drive for you.
A: Yes, that's just football.
Q: So you didn't get down on yourself?
A: You can't. The moment you get down on yourself is the moment you're out of the game. The defense is going to make some plays, sometimes. It's about consistency and determination. That's really the ultimate thing that happened. I got a great group of guys. This team is a great team. Ultimately we got the W. It was my first touchdown, but I really wouldn't care (about the touchdown), if we didn't win.
Q: (Jason) Pinnock also had a new plays. A sack and a half. You guys were expected to be across town earlier this year. What was that like to see him have a good game?
A: That's my brother. Like you said, we were both at the Jets. Came across the same year. To see him get the sack, I was hyped for him. That's my brother. We love this team, and I'm just glad we could make impacts to help this team win in any type of way.
Q: How have you adapted to here so fast? Obviously, seems like you just got here a couple of weeks ago. How quickly have you learned the playbook? How have you become an impact player fast?
A: Credit to Coach (Andy) Bischoff. He's a great tight ends coach. I told him I needed extra time to study this playbook and get with him to walk through stuff. He's been amazing. He's been getting up with me extra early. He doesn't need to. Coach Dabs (Brian Daboll) is a great head coach. Coach (Mike) Kafka is a great offensive coordinator. Whenever I have questions or whenever I don't get everything, not getting frustrated, not telling me, him giving me time to understand the playbook. That bye week was a blessing. I got a whole week to not go anywhere and just study this playbook to get ready for this game.
Q: How sharp was Daniel (Jones) today? 13-of-17, 153 quarterback rating.
A: That's Danny Dimes for you. He's great. Daniel, he's a great person, he's great leader and he's a great quarterback. Many more things to come.
Q: Can you take us through that touchdown play?
A: It was just a boot that we've been practicing all week. We were going fast. Caught them on their heels. The defense was a little tired. I came through on the side and Danny hit me and the rest is history.
"That bye week was a blessing. I got a whole week to not go anywhere and just study this playbook to get ready for this game."
Maybe he can be what engram was supposed to be. Hopefully he and belly can become a very good 1-2 combo
He’s not gonna do well blocking as a TE. He was with the Canes for 3 years in college. Very underwhelming. I foresee him being a continued practice squad guy the remainder of his career.
Because he probably does a better job beating LBers and Strong Safeties in coverage. Not sure he’d be capable of beating an NFL caliber CB.
Yeah watching him get ragdolled into Saquon's chest behind the LOS was discouraging. I think the block he was trying to make is one I've seen WR Sterling Shephard execute succesfully.

This guy is getting crushed as a blocker though. Not sure he’s going to make it as a TE.

Yeah that was cringeworthy embarrassing.
