It's hard being a leader for so long and being a focal point for so long, ... and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix, and it's also nice not to have 'The Player' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year, so it's going to give me an opportunity possibly to just go out here and play and let the other people have that kind of attention.
More Quotes from LaVar Arrington:
I think they thought we were going to be so aggressive that they'd be able to do a little fake here, a play-action there, and, zoom, we'd run right past them and lose our focus. We didn't do that. This wasn't just the kind of game our defense needed, it was the kind of game our team needed.LaVar Arrington
Playing on Sunday will be an accomplishment because it has been such a long road, ... However much I play, however they use me, whatever I do, I'm just going to be happy that I'm out there. I'm not concerned about starting. I just want to be a part of it. I'm grateful to even have an opportunity again to get out there with those guys.

I think it is a dead issue. I think that I'm so excited about being a Giant now, and being in this city and being able to bring what I'm going to bring to this organization that's what I'm focused on.

I think he's a special person. He'll be all right. He's still growing, he's a young pup in his second year in the league, man, and he'll be fine. We care about him, and not because it's a football thing, but as a personal thing. I was just happy that he was all right. I gave him a big embrace the first time I saw him and I was just happy that he was okay from everything. That was my main concern, not, 'Were you in your playbook' We'll find that out when the time is right. He's still learning, but he's a phenomenal athlete. I think he'll be fine.
