Around the locker room: Giants prep for Chicago

Giants.com takes you around the locker room as the defending Super Bowl champs prepare for their third preseason game against the Chicago Bears.

QB Eli Manning gave his thoughts on the upcoming game:

“It should be a good opportunity for us, to go against another good defense. I think it’s been good this week, having three days to game plan and treat it like a normal work week. So, that’ll be good. Everybody should know their assignments, and have a good plan to go in, we should be able to execute, and do some things well.”

Breaking a bone in his foot nearly three months ago, WR Hakeem Nicks said he’s right on schedule:

“Definitely.  I feel like I’m right on schedule.  No setbacks thus far, so we just have to keep going the way we’ve been going and just keep it simple and go out there and do what I need to do.”

First-round draft choice RB David Wilson is looking to show what he can do on Friday night:

“They got me going with the ones so I look at it as really my first preseason game. Getting a real feel and going against a first team defense and out there with the starters and see how productive I can be.”

Veteran offensive lineman Sean Locklear spoke about meshing with a new system in his first season with the Giants:

“It’s a learning process. Just getting out there with the ones and learning the entire system, which I’m still probably about 90 percent, 95 percent there, so it’s still a learning process. I felt I’ve done well over the two games that I did get to play.”
