Tom Coughlin said the Giants reported to work Wednesday and he noticed something different about his team.
“I think they were a little quiet but I think they’ll be all right,’’ Coughlin said. “They’ll come around. They responded well in my meeting.’’
It will be fascinating to see how the Giants respond to their absolute meltdown last Sunday, blowing a 31-10 fourth-quarter lead in the final eight minutes of what became a 38-31 loss to the Eagles. Asked how he snapped his team out of its quietness, Coughlin said “There is no spanning out. They responded very well. I give them a ‘Good morning, men’ and they [don’t] give me [much] and then I give it to them again and they jump up and down. They were fine with that.’’
In the early stages of practice, the Giants seemed and sounded as if they were attending to business as normal, with the usual noise level and spirit they’ve shown throughout the season.
“The feeling is we lost the game, that’s over,’’ Coughlin said. “It’s a new week and we have to move on. That’s exactly what I said we would do Monday and that’s the direction we’re going in. Let’s get going and let’s get moving.’’
