Q. Covered Wan'Dale out there again today?
COR'DALE FLOTT: It was nice. As they say, iron sharpens iron. A guy I am used to. He's an elite receiver. Throughout practice one of the guys that will do (indiscernible).
Q. How often do you find yourself surprising guys out there with how physical you are despite being slenderly built?
COR'DALE FLOTT: I've been doing it all my life. Being built like this, growing up, playing the game of football, everybody telling me I'm too small to do it. So far I just focus on making an impact on the team. Right now gaining weight, being able to take my body, fit it wherever it is needed.
Q. What have the Giants told you about that, about the gaining weight part, what do they want from you? What do you feel comfortable getting to?
COR'DALE FLOTT: What I feel comfortable. What weight I can hold to be able to perform at a high level, be able to stay on the field, be able to get around and be healthy.
Q. What are you looking at, think you can add five, 10, 20?
COR'DALE FLOTT: Five, 10, whatever is comfortable for me to be able to perform.
Q. Do you find that -- it's so early here, but the fact that the program you came from, that kind of big program, a lot of success, do you find that helps translate, just helps you in your acclimation to the NFL a little?
COR'DALE FLOTT: It does. I feel the coaches at LSU definitely prepared me for a level like this, off the field to on the field. Just overall really, the focus of that.
Q. Do you think you'll be starting in the slot as a rookie, how ready do you feel?
COR'DALE FLOTT: I'm ready. Hopefully I get the job. Right now I'm focusing on proving, as a rookie being able to fit wherever I was needed.
Q. They talked about starting you in this slot. What do you think about hearing that, would you like to go outside at times? What's your preference?
COR'DALE FLOTT: First thing it's the thing I take pride on. The defense, making it back with the team.
Q. You're coming into a situation where obviously (inaudible) probably going to be you and competing. How much are you looking at -- at least having a shot to start immediately, some places you may not have?
COR'DALE FLOTT: It's definitely a blessing to have an opportunity to have a shot at it. Definitely going to take it one day at a time focus on practicing.
Q. What does it take to play -- what mindset does it take to play press coverage? Like, I've read your defense is smothering. What is it, mindset what does it take? And secondarily, not using too many hands, because you don't want to be the guy getting --
COR'DALE FLOTT: Physical mindset, like you said, without using my hands. The press take me like watch receiver tendencies, understanding (indiscernible) what's going to happen for play concepts.
Q. Do you like that idea? They always say, like, you press a guy, you could make a play, but also gives a guy to run past you. Do you like the all-or-nothing aspect of that?
COR'DALE FLOTT: In the league and those differences in the five-yard range being able to (inaudible) have to work on that.
Q. You alluded to that. How much of an adjustment is that? Because in college you were a ton more physical. How much of an adjustment?
COR'DALE FLOTT: The numbers are different, (inaudible) different. Different (indiscernible) games with concepts and boundaries being so close to the sidelines. Big adjustment.
Q. You work, come into the league, start immediately with the corners. You say corners have a tough spot. Have you reached out to any of those guys?
COR'DALE FLOTT: I talked to a lot of guys, like (indiscernible) White. Those guys be able to call me, talk to me personally, give me advice, and some guys I talk to here. I look forward to that.
Q. What was your relationship like with Staley, obviously you guys were teammates, anything you took from him? Are you guys still in touch these couple weeks?
COR'DALE FLOTT: We always stay in touch, guy came in my freshman year. Had our ups and downs throughout the years we were. D three and out. I'm glad for him over at Houston. I know he'll do a good job there.
