Denny Green Against Quotations

That's why they (the Giants) went after Plaxico (in free agency), because he is definitely a factor. He's a big guy, strong, can go catch the ball, so you're going to have to really battle him. That was part of the reason why we picked Antrel Rolle. He has size and can line up against any big guy. And we have Macklin, even though every now and then he has gotten beat, he can come back and beat the guy. That's why he made so many plays last year.

I think we're relying too much on scheme, ... Sometimes as coaches - defensively, let's say, as an example - I think our guys are relying too much on scheme. They think the scheme is going to stop it. It's man against man. Hopefully, two games are enough for us to figure it out.

He gets an extra day to work against the Giants next week, so he'll run some extra tests and see if things are healed exactly the way they (team doctors) want him to.

Oh no, there are none. I think keeping him off the field is the best way to defend against him. Put them in a situation where they have to maybe play catch-up and give their intentions away sooner than they want to or not be able to go deep.

Guys disagreed with some of the calls. Guys felt that the play they could have made they didn't get a chance to make because of the defense that was against them, ... and (they) reacted in what I would consider a negative fashion because it takes you out of your ball game. You can't be yelling at the officials and all those other things, so I think it hurt us. But it was that kind of a ball game.

I think we'll be better, more of a high-flying offense, which is his style of play, ... He plays a good game of high-ball, which means that you let him go one-on-one against defenders and put the ball up high. That's where most of his touchdowns came last year.
