Giants QB Jaxson Dart (Post-Game Transcript)
On what was going through his mind when he saw Giants RB Cam Skattebo get injured:
“Yeah, I was devastated. It’s my boy, man, so seeing him go down and obviously reacting to what happened, that sucks. It’s the worst part of this game.”
On whether he said anything to Giants RB Cam Skattebo:
“Yeah, of course.
On what he said:
“I’m going to keep that between us.”
On how tough it was to keep the drive going after losing Giants RB Cam Skattebo:
“I mean, during him getting carted off, it’s emotional, but you try to go back in the huddle and try to just reload and just try to go down and score.”
On whether he felt more pressure playing the Eagles this time than last time:
“No, not at all.”
On how tough it is to keep losing weapons in the offense:
“I try not to think of it like that. Just know I got to keep making plays and do my job to put our team in the best situation. Obviously it’s not ideal, it stings, and there’s more people in the rotation, but I got to be better, too, making more plays and putting us in a good situation to win.”
On what the Eagles did differently in this matchup than when they played them two weeks ago:
“They did a good job. They did a really good job. They kind of changed it up on us from what they did in game one and they played sound. I thought that they had a good plan for us coming into the game offensively and defensively. You definitely got to give them credit for their plan.”
On the Eagles trying to keep him in the pocket throughout the second half:
“I just think that’s just kind of what the plan is for most teams going forward. The Broncos did it, too. So yeah, they stayed disciplined in their gaps and I just thought that they played a good game.”
On his mentality throughout the game:
“I’m not ever going to quit. I don’t care what the situation is. If I’m on that field, I’m playing as hard as I can. I’m going to try to lead the best that I can. I have the same expectation every time we go out on the field and try to preach that to the guys so when we step through the lines, we should be competing and playing as hard as we can every time.”
On his thoughts about losing:
“We have to start figuring out ways to win because I do, I hate it, and I’m not used to it and I’m not just going to accept it. I’m not going to be okay with it and we as a team can’t be okay with it. We have to figure this out.”
On his emotional state after the game:
“I felt like, honestly, I felt like we kind of got, I’m trying to say this the right way. I thought they did just a lot more things better than we did in a lot of areas. I don’t like the feeling of – I thought they really kind of dominated most of the game and it’s an embarrassing feeling. That’s just kind of how I feel. It’s frustrating because I felt confident coming into this game. I felt obviously extra motivated because of how things happened last week and I really didn’t want one to lead to another. I’m just disappointed that we lost.”
On the highs and lows the team has dealt with the last few weeks:
“I mean, hopefully it just motivates everybody more throughout the whole facility. It’s not just the players, it’s not just the coaches, it’s everybody. I hope everybody can be more and more motivated to get better, to try to take another step in [our] preparation and how [we] lead. That goes for me, too. I have to take accountability because I need to be way better. Fair or unfair, a quarterback is judged by [their] wins and losses. We got to bounce back and I feel confident in the guys and that’s what we’re going to do.”
On if he’ll use this loss as motivation:
“This is all fresh, so I’m still going to be frustrated tomorrow about it, but like I said, I hope it’s just motivating for everybody. It’s going to be motivating for me to be better and I mean, the overall feeling is I hate losing and everybody here hates losing and we got to figure out how to start winning.”
