Here are other highlights from the Giants talking about the Vikings this week:


Shurmur on the Vikings offense:


“I know this, when they get grooving running the ball, and I was with Dalvin Cook, an outstanding runner, and they’ve got a list of runners behind him that are very good. They’ve improved their offensive line. I knew [Kyle] Rudolph, Irv Smith, [Jr.], those guys— when they get going and then their play actions, their boots and their nakeds are all tied to that, they are very dynamic. I was with all of those receivers, mainly [Stefon] Diggs and [Adam] Thielen. Those guys can win 1-on-1 matchups when they are choosing to throw the ball. … [They] are very dangerous.”


TE Evan Engram on Minnesota’s defense:


“They are a good defense. They have talent on all three levels, and we’re going to have to be on our game.”


S Antoine Bethea on Vikings primary threat offensively:


“[We have to] stop the run. They’ve got a good run game, one of the best in the league. Then after that, we’ve got to negate the deep throws, don’t let the ball go over our head, and try to carry over from last week — create turnovers, tackle well, and get the offense the ball back.”


Bethea on Diggs, Thielen, Rudolph:


“They both (Diggs and Thielen) can go deep, good route runners, strong hands, good after the catch, so I think having them on the opposite side of each other gives Kirk Cousins some good weapons.


“Kyle Rudolph, he has a great history, so you can’t sleep on him. You’ve definitely got to keep your eyes on him.”
