“I think at halftime we realized we were probably putting a little bit too much on Eli and we went back to running the ball and doing basic things.”
Tiki Barber
“Of all the tall tales, I think my favorite is the one about Eli Whitney and the interchangeable parts.”
Jack Handy
“You can't get anybody that's more relaxed than Eli. If you do, you better check your pulse. You probably should be in the morgue or something.”
Michael Strahan
“Just let Eli be Eli and he's going to be OK, ... Stop putting so much pressure on him and just let E be E. I've got a lot of faith in him. He's the quarterback of this team.”
Plaxico Burress
“He's excited and we are, too. We're all anxious to really get going. I think Eli has put himself in a position where he feels really good about where he's at. The questions we asked [in meetings] were all about the Cardinals.”
Tom Coughlin
“We got a couple hits on Eli early. I think that kind of rattled him.”
Julius Peppers
“I think we did some good things. Eli was a little bit more consistent. He made some great decisions out there and he was a good leader in the huddle. I think execution-wise we weren't perfect, we still have a lot of room for improvement. That being said, we're ecstatic that we're 2-0. We have great team chemistry right now with everyone doing their part, but we're still not holding up our end completely and it's going to take some time.”
