Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Q: Everyone has this vision of Skatt in their head that he’s just running through brick walls without thinking, which in a way he is. But even Brady was talking on the broadcast that he plays like a veteran. He slipped the defensive end on his touchdown in Philly and then the week before showed incredible patience to set up his blocks on his other touchdown in Denver.
Daboll: “I would say, you asked about Jaxson too, instincts are a hard thing for people to evaluate. You can watch it, and you can see certain things they do on tape and say, boy, he’s got some pretty good instincts. But until he’s in your system and until you can – guys learn in different ways. You can sit in a meeting room with them and go through a pass installation or you can go through a defensive installation or a kicking game. You can watch it on the board and then go out there, and then when things move and change, they freeze up. Then there’s other guys that just play, that – it’s hard to explain – they can just see it. ‘Well, he’s here, so I’m going here, why would I do this?’ [Rob] Gronkowski was a perfect example of that just relative to an instinctive player that was smart. I’m not comparing the two guys, but they’re tough-minded, hard-nosed, want the ball in their hands, you want to give it to them in critical situations. And it’s not too big for them when the picture changes [from the defense] or something’s different. They just know what to do. And the more you can have of those guys, the better off you are because the guys that don’t have that, it’s tough to play in this league. I’d say his is elite relative to that.”
