There’s never a bad time to catch up with Steve Spagnuolo, who remains revered around the Giants for his work as the defensive coordinator who helped slay Tom Brady and the unbeaten Patriots in the massive Super Bowl XLII upset after the 2007 season.
Congenial, gracious and insightful, Spagnuolo hit on a few different topics before he went out and hit a few golf balls into the humid Long Island air. Here are excerpts from that conversation:Guys who had prior Super Bowl rings, they bring them with them. Some guys have two or three. I didn’t bring mine, but I will tell you this, they just get bigger and bigger and bigger.
This year now, I think our guys are really enjoying it, which I think you should. You got to enjoy it., we had the ring ceremony and now our guys get to go to the ESPYs. I remember when Michael [Strahan] and Antonio [Pierce] went to the ESPYs after 2007, I thought that was fun for those guys. To Spagnuolo, who won Super Bowl XLII with Michael Strahan, the former Giants defensive-end-turned-TV-star is family.He does such a great job at all of it. I ask him all the time: “Mike, do you have to prep for this, do you have to do that?” A lot of it, he preps a little bit, but I think a lot of it is natural. He’s just out there and kind of winging it.
Patrick Mahomes’ ability to keep plays alive longer than many quarterbacks has helped former Giants receiver Kadarius Toney eventually find his way open.He’s got talent, and I think in our offense, it’s pretty good for him because the one thing, a guy like that will eventually get himself open, even if he doesn’t have it initially. And the thing about Patrick is he extends [plays]. Let’s face it, he makes O-linemen look a lot better because he extends it and he’ll find you.
In 1996, the Giants made the move to upstate New York, setting up camp for the first time at the University at Albany. They liked it so much, they spent their summers there for 15 consecutive years , their longest stay in one place for camp in franchise history. It had a classic, old-school training camp vibe. Players stayed in dorm rooms and ate in a college cafeteria. Fans filled a grass hill to watch practices and strolled around near the fields, waiting for autographs after every session.
