Coughlin Talks About Special Team Feeling Here's a partial transcript of Tom Coughlin's conference call with reporters on Monday. The full version is at Giants.com. The last question refers to how Ann Mara, the widow of Wellington Mara, interrupted a postgame interview by Terry Bradshaw on Fox, telling him he never picks the Giants. She poked a finger into his arm a few times, mostly jokingly (I think). Q: You seem to be having a really good time with this team. What is it about them that is registering with you? A: There's a great feeling. I talk a lot about spirit. I talk about emotions. I talk about vibes. I talk about feelings. I talk about an atmosphere that's been created by the cooperation between players and coaches and the harmony and the great feeling that exists. It's been that type of feeling that has sustained us really throughout the course of the year, but even more as I see people grow closer together. That naturally happens with success, but I'm talking about a real bonding and that's what I sense. That's what I feel - a very responsive team. On Saturday night they were locked in as well as any team that I've ever been associated with. You could hear a pin drop in the meeting rooms. We initially started off with special teams and then we go offense and defense. When I walk around and listen to the meetings you can literally feel and sense the focus and the concentration. Those are things that I appreciate. I understand young people and all that goes with that, but these guys have been able to really create a very strong business-like approach to what they're doing. Whether you use the word fellowship or whatever word you want to use, there's a strong, strong feeling among this group. It's been a great source of pride for all of us as coaches to be associated with this group of young men. Q: Did your heart skip a beat on the low snap on the last field goal? A: It was the weather and the snap but I thought Steve did a great job and he was so excited to tell Lawrence to keep his head down and make this field goal and we are going to the Super Bowl. He was all about that when he went about his business and he did make a very good catch and placement on that field goal and he did a very nice job the whole game with the ability to catch the wet ball in punting situations. We did punt 12 times and then when he was the holder, he did a very nice job with that as well. Q: What was the flight home like? A: The players were all excited and they continued to remain that way with their NFC Championship hats. The noise level was very loud as we came onto the plane, the stewardesses were cheerleaders decked out in Giants gear and as they were for two or three weeks in a row, they were in rhythm in their welcome of the team. It was a very excited group, it was a very happy group. The volume was really loud for quite some time and after that we settled in and tried to get some sleep. Q: Did you get a kick out of Ann Mara giving it to Terry Bradshaw after the game? A: I missed most of that, to be honest with you, because I was ushered over to the press conference side, but I did hear a little bit about that this afternoon. I know that in many ways, many times Mrs. Mara's attitude is reflective of the way that we would hope our team plays. She has great energy and tremendous interest and she is so interested in the team playing well and doing well. Extra point "Spirit" and "vibes" and "harmony" and "cooperation" are not the words that spring to mind to describe the other New York team this season, particularly the relationship between Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes.
