Wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette speaks to the media following the Giants' Week 17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
It feel good to actually get one account and to do it at home. You know, I'm from here, all my friends, I had some friends here, my girlfriend's here. It felt good to do it, and my grandma's always watching, so uh, to just do it again and for it to actually count, it's it's a blessing. And I'm doing it in my backyard so here. I'm sure you know too. Some of the fans by look at it like the Giants one, but they you know, sacrifice some of the draft position. What do you kind of say do that side of my ballpark? I got new that's out of my league. So I can't really help you with that one. That with that one. But uh yeah, I mean we were in here, we're trying to get wins, and today we got to win. So that's what helps. Did you go up? Will you considering taking out the next one? I see, so I knew, we knew, we knew what's what's it? What's it was further than to deep? We call it too deep that we wasn't taking it out. But I was like, let me, let me just try to see if I could get them to you know, you know, be a little scared. So once I caught it. I asked, like I was gonna go. I pointed out them, like, ah, it worked out a little bit. They covered down all the way and UH had some words on Okay, hey usually usually be a kick off. Somebody comes up with a big, big block. I don't know if I don't know, if you know where you feel right look like to at that big block, talk to me about it. A lot of people have been telling me. I haven't even seen the video yet. I didn't check my phone or nothing yet. I just celebrated with the guys, got in the shower. I knew y'all was coming, so I tried to get dressed as fast as I could. But I ain't checked the phone yet. But when I do and I see it, I might have to take Timo to go get some steak or something and everybody else. So I appreciate that you talked about what doesn't mean to be able to kind of carve out your own role here. It feel it feels great growing up. Just I came to a giant Actually I came to the miracle game that the Eagles won. They came back on. But it's it's it's, you know, a sight to see I can't. I was. I'm from here here growing up, I've been to games here and then you know, actually making plays in the same stadium that I was once going to as a kid. It's like a dream come true. It's crazy, and I'm doing it like I'm doing it in front of my my friends, my family, and I got you know, my full support here and it just feels right here. And then to be able to, you know, carve out a role here, it's special to me. I love being here. I get to see everybody. After this, I'm probably gonna go to my family house and celebrate with them and then on wine. And we got off to Wednesday, so you know, I'm just gonna spend time with them and uh, you know, relax with them, and we're gonna all have fun, joke, play cards and stuff like that. So it feels good to be home and you know, do it, do this thing here
