GEOFF SCHWARTZ PRESS CONFERENCE

admin
Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin.

Q: Did you get word on what happened to Preston Parker yet?
A: Cramp.
 
Q: I just saw Jerome Cunningham go off on a cart…
A: Cramp.
 
Q: Are you going to be in some kind of pads tomorrow?
A: Uppers, yes.
 
Q: You had two guys with cramps here, a guy with a hamstring injury. Does that concern you? You wanted guys to arrive in shape.
A: They’re in shape. Evidently, they didn’t hydrate well enough. One guy had had the runs, one of those deals. So, try as you might, you’re still going to get these things. No matter who you try to blame, it’s going to happen. It’s 90 degrees.
 
Q: Has Cunningham shown you a little bit?
A: Yesterday he did well. I didn’t think too many people on offense showed me anything today. He did a few good things yesterday.
 
Q: We hear a lot of the players saying “be where your feet are.” Where does that come from?
A: Mindfulness. Mindfulness. If you’re going to be in the gym, be in the gym. Be where your feet are. Stay in the moment. Take care of one moment at a time. While you’re here, you deal with your football, deal with your job. It’s all the same type of theme.
 
Q: Who came up with that? Where was it discovered?
A: Well, we studied it this offseason as a staff. We’ve always had lots of statements about things of that nature. It’s just been reinforced more heavily, to the point where the guys are repeating it.
 
Q: Did James Jones come in as advertised?
A: Yes. Seemed like he was in good shape. Took some snaps today.
 
Q: Do you think he will acclimate more quickly. He thinks the offense is very similar to Green Bay.
A: The terminology, yes.
 
Q: Is his ability to do things in the red zone something that you liked?
A: Well, we’ll see. Hopefully it’s that, and in the field as well. It doesn’t have to be just the red zone.
 
Q: What have you seen from Ereck Flowers and Landon Collins? The two rookies starting right from the get-go.
A: I haven’t seen anything particularly good or bad just yet. It’s very early. They’re both working hard.
 
Q: Any word from JPP yet?
A: Not to my knowledge, no.
 
Q: Is Larry Donnell over the Achilles tendonitis from the spring?
A: He’s practiced and he’s done well with that.
 
Q: I haven’t seen John Jerry that much. Does he have something?
A: He was sick yesterday, and kind of sick today but he kept going. He took some reps today.
