Remember last year? 'Gregg, you can't stop the run with that defensive line.' 'Gregg, these guys can't rush the passer.' I don't know why I didn't cut my wrist and lay in a hot tub of water. Every one of them played with an attitude.

I'm back into my defensive mode. I'm trying to stop guys, especially this time of year. We've got a lot of guys that are scoring now. Somebody has to be a leader defensively, and I'm just trying to take that role.

This defensive line is supposed to run free, and just swarm everybody.

We were worn out at the end of the year because we had to run so many guys out there every day. Our [lack of] depth was such that even one injury was a significant blow. With what we have now, not only in terms of numbers but versatility, we should be able to give guys the rest that they need to keep everyone sharp and fresh and feeling like they're part of the deal.

I'm a four-down guy. I can rush the passer and stop the run. I know I can be a difference-maker.

Sometimes they put a lot of guys in the box (to stop the run) ... we've got to have a balanced attack Sunday. We're going to mix it up, get into a rhythm. I think that's what the Giants didn't do.
