New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning appreciates Ahmad Bradshaw’ passion – NFL News
New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw’s passion and dedication towards the game was evident in the victory against Washington Redskins as he had an argument with head coach Tom Coughlin when the latter decided not to run the ball on a play.
Bradshaw was furious and had some confrontation with the head coach. The running back also smacked wide receiver Victor Cruz on his helmet after that incident.
The running back has already clarified his stance, saying that he got emotional, while Coughlin and other players have also dealt with the matter professionally.
Giants quarterback Eli Manning has also taken the same approach as Victor and Coughlin as far as presenting views about the incident is concerned.
The quarterback, just like the coach and other players, maintained that Bradshaw is a passionate player and he wants to give his best shot when he is on the field.
According to the details present on the team’s website, Manning has appreciated Bradshaw’s passion, saying:
“Ahmad plays hard and he loves the game of football. He has great confidence in himself. He wants to win everyday and obviously he feels, in certain situations in third down, that he can go get the first down and he was fired up and he gets our team fired
up. So you appreciate his passion and his dedication to give it all every game.”
Meanwhile, Manning was also asked if he was happy that Bradshaw decided to smack Victor on his helmet instead of him. Manning said he was happy not be smacked by Bradshaw, but maintained that the player does a great job in running hard. Manning said:
“He’s trying to make sure those guys know that he tries to do everything to protect and give them opportunities to make plays. He wants the same in return.”
The issue surrounding Bradshaw’s emotional outburst and confrontation seems to have been resolved as nearly everyone has handled it in a professional way. Gants are now focusing on their next game that will be played against Dallas Cowboys and every player
including Bradshaw is gearing up for it.
