LB Mark Herzlich
On possibly taking more snaps during the game…
“I am. As I said earlier, it’s a lot of the same preparation  I mean I’m always prepared to go in if need be, but the practice preparation will be a lot different. You know, getting the snaps during practice and getting mentally and physically more prepared to be in the game.”

LB Michael Boley
On spending more time together at the Giants facilities after the storm…
“I think it brings everyone closer together, you see guys come in, checking on each other, seeing if everything is alright, you know ‘How’s your family doing?’. I think stuff like that, brings us closer as a group.”

LB Chase Blackburn
Rascal Flatts – ‘Life is a Highway’
“Well, Rascal Flatts is just my band, so I had to go with them. I’m just living life on a highway.”

WR Ramses Barden 
Nas – ‘Hero’
“I started listening to it during my senior year at Cal Poly and that’s just how I felt. I wanted to embody that hero persona for my teammates when I was in college.”

LS Zak DeOssie
Y.N. Rich Kids – ‘Hot Cheetos and Takis’
“It’s just a fantastic song. I love Cheetos and I don’t know what Takis are…but I’m very interested in finding out what they are.”

LB Mark Herzlich
Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean – ‘Clique’
“That song, Clique by Kanye. I love that.”

G Mitch Petrus
Vikings of the North Atlantic (Mitch’s band) – ‘We Were Dreamers’
“I guess I’m partial to my band, and I like that song, it’s my favorite song. It’s a little bit of my own creation, so that’s why I’m proud of it.”

CB Michael Coe
Welcome to the Jungle – Guns N’ Roses
“I’m real calm, I like to be chill so, I don’t listen to a lot of crazy music. You know what I listened to last game? Welcome to the Jungle.”

TE Martellus Bennett
(Listens to everything)
“What don’t I have on my iPod should be the question. Before the game, I’m going to listen to Curren$y, a little Fiona Apple, maybe some Ellie Goulding and Erykah Badu.”

LB Mark Herzlich
Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
“Basically I like to listen to death metal before the games, so that gets me pretty jacked up before the game. But like when we’re going through warm-ups, I love when Call Maybe comes on. I freaking love Call Me Maybe.”

LB Spencer Paysinger
Childish Gambino – Camp (Album)
“Mine’s not as extravagant as [Herzlich's]. I’m more of a fan of Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, G.O.O.D Music, like Kanye [West], stuff like that. It’s more lyrical. It makes me slow the game down, think of my assignments and stuff.”

LB Michael Boley
SiriusXM Radio – The Heat
“Nothing really specific, I listen to a lot of different stuff. It just depends on what I’m feeling at the moment…SiriusXM, The Heat, whatever comes on.”
