Interview Recap

Eisen: 4th quarter collapses?
Glover: We're a .500 team when the game comes down to the 4th quarter. We are what we are. A 4-3 team.

Eisen: BP discuss the collapses with the team?
Glover: No. Just button up and move on

Eisen: What do you do to prevent them?
Glover: (A lil frustration in his tone) We're a big play away from being 6-1 (or something like that). We make that one stop. We don't make the penalties. We make the big play. We don't make turnovers. We don't miss field goals. We make plays your supposed to make and you have different results.

Eisen: Talk about the O-line
Glover: Think it's solid. Tucker is playing solid. The rookie Petitti is struggling a little bit, but he's playing good football. ~Started joking with Lincoln about coming back. Still think he has some juice left. Said he wouldn't have to pass the conditioning test. Lincoln responds that you know you can't play for Parcells unless you pass the conditioning test.~

Eisen: Talk about Julius
Glover: Julius is coming along. Trying to bank on what happened last year. Maybe catch lightning in the bottle again. No idea on his status. Wouldn't tell you if I did.

Eisen: Talk about Ware and Spears
Glover: Ware's a natural. Does things you just don't see everyday. He's going to struggle sometimes. Going to struggle with complicated calls, etc. We told him, if all else fails, rush the QB. Spears started off slow, because of the injury back in training camp. He's starting to do some good thing. I try to help him more on his pass rushing ability. Work with him on how to separate from the o-lineman, how to use his hands.

Eisen: Talk about the Defense
Glover: We're as good as we wanna be. As good as we prepare, and good as something else (missed that). It's too soon to tell how good we are right now. Should know by weeks 10, 11, & 12 how good we are. If we're top 5, then that'll be a huge indication.

Eisen: Tough division. Cards coming up. Trying not to look past them?Lincoln?: You can try, but it's the Cards
Glover: Two good WRs. (Swear it was like listening to BP at this point) Best WR tandem in the league. Did you know they average over 20 catches of 20-30 yards collectively. We gotta be prepared for them.

Eisen: Talk about Parcells. He ever happy?
Glover: Parcell's in honory(sp?). He's never happy. He's demanding. He demands alot of his players. He's very focused.

Eisen: What's one thing that Parcells always tell you?
Glover: Never leave a stone unturned...in your preparation, in your film study. Try to find an edge on your opponent.
