alking about after Sunday’s season-ending 36-35 loss to the Dallas Cowboys? Let’s go inside the locker room and find out.Saquon Barkley On surpassing 2 Doug Kotar Color Rush Jersey ,000 yards from scrimmage ...“It’s an amazing feeling. Like I said, 2,000 yards, to be mentioned in the same name as Eric Dickerson and Edgerrin James, it’s definitely an honor and privilege, but you don’t do that by yourself. To be honest, you have to give credit to your teammates and coaching staff. Without them, you don’t get that 2,000 yards or however many catches it was, so definitely got to give thanks to those guys.”On if he would be surprised if Eli Manning was not the quarterback next season ...“I don’t know, to be completely honest. The only thing I know is that he has a lot of ball left, that this team believes in him. Even though the season didn’t end up how we wanted it to, we were in a lot of games, we just have to finish those games. I really can’t answer that question Curtis Riley Color Rush Jersey , but all I have to say is I know Eli has a lot of ball left in him and I know we believe in him.”On what he learned as a rookie ...“I would say, I think a lot of people said coming into the draft, I don’t know how to take the ‘tough run’, or I don’t know how to get vertical or have balance, or that I try to do too much. I think the biggest challenge that I think I did a good job of is blocking that noise out and just staying true to who I am. Obviously, for your coach to come out and say something like that, listen to him and see how to get better, but not letting the media and all of the national attention come with it change you, and that’s a hard thing.“I’m not going to sit here and lie to you, especially in nowadays age and go through your phone, you see that this person said this and this person said that, but I think that was the biggest challenge, but with the help of my family and the people that I surround myself with, my teammates and the people in the building Calvin Munson Color Rush Jersey , I think that they did a good job of helping me stay grounded and helping me understand what really matters.”Other playersCody Latimer on fighting back from 1-7 ...“It was just something built throughout the offseason, through training camp, getting everyone together on one page and we had a lot of new guys filling in, like my guy Bennie (Fowler) he’s over here, guys that came in, bought in and brought more energy to the team, but like I said, it’s just been that dog in us. We don’t give up, we fight until the end.”Safety Michael Thomas on wanting to be back with the Giants next season ...“Definitely. I think this team moving forward, especially with all of these young guys, it is going to be great. It is great for the team. They got experience that, at most times, only vets get in these crucial situations with the game on the line. You just have to take it home and take it, if no one can give it to you. All of us will be better and this team will be better. I am definitely looking forward to next year.”Evan Engram on losing so many close games this season ...The things that we learn through the losses are going to pay off. You never want to lose Michael Strahan Color Rush Jersey , and you never want to be happy about losing or what you learn, but the thing is that we have to get better at the things that happen in those losses. That’s more important; that’s going to help us build in the future. The New York Giants have a decision to make at right guard. Jamon Brown was an upgrade over Patrick Omameh, but that bar wasn’t set particularly high. Brown was still penalty-prone and gave up far more pressure than the Giants should be comfortable with. However, if they make the decision to let him test (and possibly leave via) free agency, they will have uncertainty at center, right guard, and right tackle. But the possibility exists that the Giants could be looking to fill a trio of offensive line holes this year, so we have to pay attention to the guard class as well as the tackles and centers. Oklahoma’s Dru Samia is one of the most experienced guards in the draft, starting four years for the Sooners. He isn’t the biggest guard, but he has a lot of positive traits to get the job done.MeasurablesHeight: 6-foot-5Weight: 304 poundsProsExcellent feet. Easily able to mirror athletic rushers, as well as reposition for better angles or reanchor if initially beaten. Very good play strength. Consistently plays with a solid base, maximizing leverage and is rarely beaten by power. Athletic. Moves well at the line of scrimmage, as a puller, and at the second level. Good situational awareness. Rarely surprised by stunts Kareem Martin Color Rush Jersey , twists, or blitzes. Constantly looks for work. Plays with a nasty streak.Good blocker in a zone scheme.ConsMight be too light for some teams. Doesn’t have much experience in power or man-gap running schemes. Can get into trouble if his base narrows or hips rise. Might not be a fit for some teams based on his weight.Prospect VideoWhat They’re Saying - Ben Solak (TheDraftNetwork - Senior Bowl interior offensive line preview) Does He Fit The Giants?Whether or not Samia fits the Giants comes down to two factors. First is whether or not the Giants opt to re-sign Jamon Brown and hope that improved play at center and right tackle will bring improvement from Brown. If so, the Giants’ two guard positions will likely be set for the 2019 season. There will be some who look at Samia’s weight and movements skills and project him to center. Personally, I would just leave him at the guard position at which he has excelled since the second game of 2016. The second question is how the Giants envision their blocking scheme evolving over this off-season and into 2019. They ran a variety of schemes, including both man-gap and zone blocking schemes. Most of the tape on Samia is in zone runs, so his ability in man schemes is a bit of projection. However, he is a very good puller, which would give the Giants a pair of talented pullers along with Will Hernandez. He also generally plays with good leverage to maximize his functional strength, and can have a higher level of play strength than some much bigger guards who don’t have his technique and leverage.
