Head Coach Brian Daboll
On the quarterback switch:
"Just tried to spark the team. I don't really have anything else to add to that. I just did it to try to spark the team."
On if the change did spark the team:
"I don't mention plays, I mean – we started out the second half well. Obviously, the kickoff return had an interception for the touchdown. I thought he made a great play. Had a slant route to [Giants WR Darius Slayton], but that was the reason for it.
On what wasn't working in the first half:
"We weren't scoring any points. We were one for eight on third down."
On the mechanics of the spike:
"He went down. You know, he fought his way to get back and stay in. Would have been a touchdown if he'd run off."
On the quarterback position for the final two games:
"I'm just worried about tonight here. We'll talk about that here this week."
On saying Giants QB Tommy DeVito had earned his start:
"So, I made a spark. I don't really have anything else to add about it right now. I made a change to try to make a spark."
On Eagles RB D'Andre Swift's performance:
"He's a good player. He made some really good plays, some cutback plays, some bounce-off plays. We talked about him before the game. He's a good football player. He played well, I'll give them credit. Came down to the end."
On getting riled up:
"Because it was a competitive game. You don't like to lose."
On the false start on Giants C John Michael Schmitz Jr.:
"You can ask those guys."
On what the refs said about the false start:
"Yeah, you can ask the refs."
On the one foot down in the first half:
"I'd say, any official questions, you can ask those guys."
On Giants LB Bobby Okereke's play:
"Yeah, I mean, they got a field goal out of it, so it was good they got a field goal, not a touchdown."
On the difference between Giants QB Tommy DeVito and QB Tyrod Taylor:
"I'd have to look at the tape."
On if he was worried about the second half:
"Worried at halftime? It's a 60-minute game."
On how it feels to lose to the Eagles again:
"Competitive game. Give them credit."
On Giants TE Darren Waller's injury:
"I'll have to talk to the trainers."
Q: How did your QB play?
A: I’ll have to look at the tape.
Watching the game from the sideline, you could form no initial thoughts on how your QB played? Were you able to see the field? Did you know that you lost, or did someone tell you as you ran off the field?

It's funny because if you go back and listen to his very early pressers in the beginning of 2022 he would go on long winded responses and joke around with the reporters. Times have changed.
