good interview. Stuff we have already heard and some stuff we havent. The effort that they go into for predictability etc is impressive. He recognizes and respects the history of the org as well. As he should but its good to hear him say it.
Q: You had a big home-field advantage when you coached in Buffalo. This team has won 12 home games in the last five years. How important is it to succeed on your home field?
Daboll: "I'd say that's what we want to do, and let's make no mistake. When you're going out there with great effort and you're playing with great energy and you're executing, that's the stuff that the players and the coaches have to control so that we're playing as well as we can at home. And we're giving our 12th man, 12th person, 12th woman, we're giving those people an opportunity to be part of the program. And it really does help. I've seen it firsthand.
"And I'm excited about this first (home) game. I'm glad the guys competed the way they competed last week, regardless of the result – but the result does help. These people spend their hard-earned money to come support our football team, and we owe our football team and each other a lot. But we also owe our community a lot because they're great supporters of the organization. So, it's very important to try to establish a standard, a level of play, at our house.
"I think part of homefield advantage is recognizing the players and coaches that came before us -- coach (Bill) Parcells, coach (Tom) Coughlin, Eli (Manning), (Michael) Strahan, (Justin) Tuck. I could go on and on - Lawrence Taylor, Carl Banks, Jim Burt, (Phil) McConkey, Phil Simms. You could go on and on about all these guys. That's important to me, and it's important to our organization because those teams that won, they laid a groundwork of what it's supposed to look like. And we're not there yet; I understand that. But it's the fanbase and it's also the alumni that have done it. It hasn't happened in a while, and we're just taking it day-by-day and going to try to put our football out there the best we can."
