Giants are talking about Watt, Wilson and more

Quarterback Daniel Jones on the Steelers defense and playing in Pittsburgh:
“Good defense, tough place to play. Obviously, we’ve heard about it. But we’re focused on us. I think putting so much time and energy into them and what they do. I’m focused on us and playing well as a group together. Getting back to doing a lot of the things we were doing and then improving those from there. Obviously, last week, not a good game. But at points, we’ve played with the rhythm, executed. We’ve got to get back to that and that’s what we’re focused on.”

Linebacker Bobby Okereke on what makes playing in Pittsburgh difficult:
“They have a great history, a great culture in that organization, and a lot of pride. Their fans bring it every game. That black and yellow, you really feel it on game day. So, just understand you’re going into a hostile environment. Understanding they want to play old school football. Play great defense, run the football, and take care of it. So, we’ll have a great challenge ahead of us. Got to create turnovers and got to stop the run.”

Okereke on if that type of challenge brings a team together:
“For sure. In a hostile environment, you have that ‘Us versus the world,’ mentality. Definitely a cohesive group is what’s going to get us a win.”

Wide receiver Darius Slayton on playing in Pittsburgh:
“From what I’ve heard, it’s an intense football environment, obviously very hostile. They’re very passionate fans over there in Pittsburgh.

“That’s what I’ve heard from all accounts and obviously on film their defense is very talented. They have a really good front. They’ve got talent and youth in the back end. They’ve got backers that fit aggressive, and I think probably for the past…before even some of y’all were born, the Steelers have lived up to a standard on defense
and they’ve maintained that for a really long time, and they still hold that true.

“It’s obviously going to take a physical four quarter game for us to be able to beat them.”

Guard Jon Runyan on what he sees in the Steelers defense and how tough is it to play in Pittsburgh:
“The Steelers I think have probably been one of the best examples of consistency in this league. They’ve been doing it very well, very solid for so long.

“Their defense hasn’t changed in forever and they have the right guys, they have the right culture. They got playmakers all over the defense and that’s what they pride themselves on over there in Pittsburgh.

“Everybody knows they got really good ends on both sides and they’re big and strong in the interior. They got great support on the backside and linebackers are playing really well right now too.

“Tough, tough defense but it’s going to be a great environment Monday night in Pittsburgh. I know Pittsburgh’s a huge football city and Monday night, fourth quarter when they start playing their music and the towels start being waved it’s going to be an awesome environment. I’m looking forward to it. I’m sure it’s going to be really loud. I feel like that’s one of the environments that we thrive in. We’ve played in some tough environments so far already this year and I know the guys are going to be excited and geared up for this one.”
