Post-game quotebook: What the Giants were saying after Sunday’s

loss to Jacksonville What were the New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars saying after Sunday’s 20-15 loss by the Giants in the season-opening game for both teams? Let’s find out.Saquon Barkley on his touchdown ...“It was amazing; it was a great feeling B.J. Goodson Jersey , but it was a feeling that came and went. One touchdown is not going to win the game, and that touchdown didn’t win the game this week, but to get in there, it was a dream come true to find the end zone. I did keep the ball, but it was just like ‘Move on, next play’, and find a way to get in there again.”Barkley on the fourth-down run where he came up short ...“Fourth-and-one is always tough to get, especially when you have a defense like that. Fourth-and-one mentality is you have to get it no matter what by any-means-necessary. I jumped and I thought I had it, I thought I did enough to keep the sticks moving, but I didn’t and that is something where there’s no excuses that I’m a young player, and I have to realize how important that is.”Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone on Barkley ...“We knew he was a really good player coming in. It’s one of those games where you feel like you’re doing a good job, you’ve got a lot of population to the football, you got a lot of people trying to bring him down. Then all of a sudden, bam! He breaks that, whatever it was, 68-yard run ... he’s a heck of a player.”Jacksonville’s Calais Campbell on Barkley ...“I knew right away. The first run and the first couple of times I tackled him, I said http://www.giantscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-nate-solder-jersey , “this kid has something.” Obviously, you see it on tape, but we didn’t get to watch a lot of tape on him. It’s his college tape. Coming into the NFL against a team like ours, and making some of the plays he made, that kid’s going to be special. I traded jerseys with him after the game because I was like, “Okay, if he can stay healthy, he might one day be a Hall of Famer. So now, I’ll get his jersey when he’s young.”Landon Collins on the play of the defense ...“... we were playing a good offense and their run game is very hard to protect and we were playing good against it so we can definitely build on top of that and just make sure we get the communication right and on the same page as always.Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsOdell Beckham Jr. on his matchup with Jalen Ramsey ...“He’s like a brother to me, we kicked it over the offseason, we talked back and forth. He’s a competitor, I’m a competitor, I love the way he plays, I love everything about his game. It was fun to go out there and compete against, if not the, one of the best in the league, hands down.”Ramsey on facing Beckham ...“Like I said on Thursday when I was talking to the media Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey , that’s not what it was about. I was shocked when you make it just about me and Odell. It was 11 vs. 11. I knew I would be on him a fair amount, but I wasn’t on him 100% of the time and I knew it was going to take all 11 guys on the defense to get the job done so that’s what we did out here and we got a good win.Janoris Jenkins on building off the loss ...“I think we all can build off of it—defense, offense and special teams. Once we get in the film room, we’ll see what critiques we have to make and we’re just going to come out and keep hustling every day.”Pat Shurmur on the struggles of the offensive line ...“We battled a really good defense. You’re looking at a top-10 defense and we battled them and I thought they fought throughout the game. We can probably all point to individual bad plays by everyone, me included, so I feel like they battled and we’ve just got to go back and correct the mistakes that maybe showed up and get ready to play Dallas.”Shurmur on Beckham’s return ...“I thought he competed throughout, put him in a lot of different situations and I think it’s a good idea to throw him the ball. We threw to him a lot and he made a lot of plays.”Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles asked if he thought he was going to score on his 41-yard run ...“No, not once. This isn’t high school. There was no way. I got 30 yards, then the hamstrings locked up and it was time to get out of bounds.”Giants vs. Patriots: 9 reasons to watch preseason finale Let’s be real. The preseason finale for any team is about the worst version of NFL football you will ever watch. Most, if not all, front-line players won’t play. By Saturday, lots of guys who get extended playing time in their team’s preseason finals won’t be in the NFL any longer. Many never to return. What you see won’t, in any way, be a real representation of what your favorite team will look like when the regular season begins.With all of those things in mind, MetLife Stadium will be maybe one-third full Thursday night when your New York Giants face the New England Patriots (7 p.m. ET) in the final preseason game for both teams.Still, there are plenty of good reasons to attend if you have tickets, or to watch the game if you don’t. Let’s go through some of them.Davis Webb and Kyle LaulettaIf everything goes according to plan for the Giants Janoris Jenkins Jersey , Thursday night will be the last time you see either young quarterback take anything other than a handful of mop-up snaps this season.Webb has shown both the ups and downs of life with a young quarterback this season, but along the way has showcased the arm and the growing confidence that make him intriguing. Lauletta doesn’t have Webb’s howitzer, but he has accuracy, anticipation, movement skills, has taken good care of the ball and managed to make enough plays to also be intriguing.Offensive line roster spotsForget the starters. You aren’t going to see them Thursday, or at least not enough of them to be meaningful. The backup spots remain unsettled, especially at tackle. Can Chad Wheeler or Nick Becton play well enough to secure a spot, or will their play convince the Giants to seek an upgrade? John Greco (center/guard) and John Jerry look like likely backups, but could Chris Scott, Zak Kerin or someone else make a push?Young running backsWith Saquon Barkley, Wayne Gallman and Jonathan Stewart it doesn’t seem likely that the Giants will keep an extra running back on the 53-man roster. Young rushers Robert Martin (12 carries, 86 yards, 7.2 yards per attempt), Jalen Simmons (13 carries, 48 yards, 3.8 yards per attempt) and Jhurell Pressley (13 carries Kerry Wynn Jersey , 71 yards, 5.5 yards per attempt) have all done good things. Can one of them force his way onto the roster?Last chance for Roger Lewis Jr.?Since the spring it has been apparent that Roger Lewis, despite 36 catches a year ago, wasn’t a player favored by the Giants’ new regime. Cody Latimer has become the third receiver, and Hunter Sharp, Kalif Raymond, Russell Shepard and Amba Etta-Tawo have all gotten more opportunities than Lewis in both practices and games.Thursday is Lewis’s last chance to show the Giants something, or to put something good on film for the other 31 teams.Curtis RileyRaj Mehta-USA TODAY SportsFinal starting spots unveiled?Who doesn’t play Thursday might tell us who the Giants will look as the starting slot corner and starting safety. There is an assumption those jobs will go to B.W. Webb and Curtis Riley, respectively. If they get the starter treatment — meaning, they don’t play — that will be confirmed.Can Aldrick stay perfect?Aldrick Rosas went 8-for-8 on field goals last preseason. He is 6-for-6 this preseason. Can he finish off a second straight perfect preseason? The more important question, of course, is what Rosas will do in the regular season. Still, it would be nice to see him stay perfect on the preseason.Snap counts will tell a storyEnd of the roster guys who either don’t play, or see very little action, are almost certain to get cut on Saturday. So, we should get some roster hints.Punt return competitionHas Hunter Sharp already won the job? Can Kalif Raymond take it away? Raymond would appear to need a big night vs. New England. Let’s see if he can have one.
