WR Malachi Fields: J.J. McCarthy's 'been composed ever since he got here'

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Malachi, great game for you, obviously, a number of very critical plays. So, first things first, what made things work for this offense? Although I know the running game had a big part of it.

Malachi Fields (0:09)

Yeah, I think just trusting in our leadership, our OC, our quarterback going out there and trusting each other and just sticking together, working hard throughout this week, and then expecting to come out here and dominate.

SPEAKER_1 (0:22)

What have you seen from JJ. McCarthy from the moment he got here to then this week preparing as the starter to have the kind of composure that he had throughout the course of today?

Malachi Fields (0:32)

I think that's exactly it. He's been composed ever since he got here. He's been that kind of leader coming in and just take command of the huddle and then deal. Like he just goes out there and does what he does. And he throws the ball well, he adjusts and sees the fronts and calls and plays with authority. So yeah.

SPEAKER_1 (0:49)

You mentioned authority. Take me into the huddle. What is it like from the time he gets the play, gives it to you guys, goes up to the line? It looks like he's in complete control, like a 10-year veteran.

Malachi Fields (0:59)

He definitely is, yeah. And I think that just goes back to his preparation throughout the week. And watching the film and just getting with us throughout the practices. And then so that he's able to come out here and do it with ease, because we do it all day throughout the week. So it's just good to see him, Sean, when we're out here on Sundays.

SPEAKER_1 (1:17)

I know you're a young guy just being a rookie. This is the first time though in Giants history, they've had two overtime games in the first seven weeks of a season. Okay, this is history right now that you're a part of. Have you ever been, at any level, high school or college, the part of so much drama early in the season?

Malachi Fields (1:32)

No, I haven't. I've been to a couple of overtime games back in my Virginia career, but never this early and this back to back. So it's crazy, but it's fun.

SPEAKER_1 (1:40)

What does it say about this team, the way you've responded to the adversity of the last couple of weeks?

Malachi Fields (1:44)

I think just the resilience and just how we're never gonna quit fighting. We're always gonna fight until the end, do what we can to go get a win.
