Giants 42, Patriots 10
Q. Your thoughts on going out there? What was it like for you?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I think it was difficult. I mean, would have liked a better outcome. Got some things to clean up and get better at.
Q. Take us through the touchdown pass, highlights. What did you see on that play? Jeremiah was thrilled to be able to leap into the crowd.
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: Yeah, he's been talking about that for four weeks, doing the Lambeau Leap at MetLife.
Good drive altogether by the offense at the end of the first half. Finally got some things moving. Got the ball moving, yeah.
Q. At what point did you know you'd be playing today?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I'm going to say Tuesday afternoon during meetings.
Q. What was your reaction when you did find out?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: Cool, let's get it. That's the only reaction you can have, right? Yeah, it's exciting. Yeah, those are the words I said, Cool, let's get it.
Q. What did you learn from tonight? Certainly didn't go your way at times.
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I think in this league, right, the quarterback plays well, your team plays well, your offense plays well.
I think I got to clean up a bunch of things. I think that's from all the weeks. There's always something to clean up. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing to learn. If you want to move the ball, you got to be on your Ps and Qs every single play.
Q. What has it been like the last four weeks being part of this operation?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I think it's been a cool experience and unique. Everything's new being a rookie, right? Going through the whole process of the Draft, OTAs, camp, everything's new. You're just kind of getting good at reacting and producing with the unknown. So yeah...
Q. What can you tell us about Jeremiah Webb?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: He's the best person ever. He's awesome. Like if you ever need to laugh, if you need somebody to talk to, go to Webby. That dude's awesome. He went to South Iowa, which is arrival of UL. At first I wouldn't talk to him.
Get to know him through OTAs, get to know him through the couple weeks we had off, he's like the best dude ever. Just great personality and great football player.
Q. What you've been through in these three pre-season games, how much hungrier are you to get into the NFL and establish yourself?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: More than ever. I don't think that ever changed 'cause right from the start I was hungry, right? Get an opportunity, run with it, yeah.
Q. Have you enjoyed being a part of the quarterback room?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I've enjoyed it a lot. Drake is an awesome guy. Dobbs is awesome. Dobbs has been through it all, seen it all. Any question, anything that comes up, go to Dobbs and he'll have an answer.
Q. Was mom able to make it?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: Mom was here. Yes, sir, of course. Left this morning at 6, got here right before the buses were leaving at what time, 4. She got to the hotel at 4, saw her for 10 minutes, we're on the bus. Saw her just right there.
Q. Any thoughts before Tuesday?
BEN WOOLDRIDGE: I think, shot, you look too far ahead, you kill yourself. That was bad (smiling).
You look too far ahead, it will eat you alive. So just take it one day at a time, see what happens.
