30 Questions in 30 Days: Production of Offense in 2015 by Giants.com (Giants.com)

"SALOMONE: The arrow is only pointing in that direction. Overcoming some early growing pains in Ben McAdoo’s first season as offensive coordinator, the Giants climbed to finish in the top 10.

Now with another strong draft, key free-agent additions, a year under the belt for the offense, and players coming back healthy, they can surely improve those numbers even further."

Summer Q&A: Robert Ayers talks Giant Pride by Dan Salomone (Giants.com)

"Ayers: My father was big on representing yourself well and he always told me when I am going on the field or whatever you do, whether it’s football or anything that isn’t athletic, whether it be a school or whatever you’re putting your name on and stamp on, you represent yourself. You represent your family. You represent your name, and to have that pride in yourself was instilled in me early and now that I am a part of a great organization and team and unit that has a rich tradition of playing good defense and good defensive linemen, it carries over to this. And I give a lot of credit to my dad and for teaching me those things at a young age. Now that I’m an adult and a grown man, it has carried over to a lot of things. So those early things that I learned carry and define me going forward."

"“He’ll be able to play with it and he’ll learn how to deal with it,” Lott said, via the New York Daily News. “But the moment of not seeing it, the moment of looking at your hand and looking down and realizing you have that phantom [finger], where you use your finger but you don’t see it, there’s a lot of things emotionally that he’ll have to deal with. He’ll have to learn how to understand that it’s not there and that there are things that will play tricks on his mind.”"

If Giants guarantee salary, JPP will return by Week One by Mike Florio (Pro Football Talk, NBC Sports)
