On Wednesday before practice, offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur took the podium for his weekly press conference. He discussed the team's addition on the offensive line, the upcoming Giants game and shared his thoughts on DeMarco Murray's play ...

On the Giants:

Pat Shurmur: I've got a lot of respect for Steve Spagnuolo. You can see his fingerprints all over the defense.

Coach Shurmur: Giants play textbook team defense when it comes to stopping the run. Solid front, strong linebackers.

Shurmur said that the Giants' D-line slanting which caused issues for the O-line was more of a Perry Fewell thing, but expects it Monday

On the offensive line:

Shurmur: Tanner Hawkinson will give us some position flexibility at guard and tackle. We'll bring him in and try to develop him.

Coach Shurmur: Jason Kelce played well last week and I think he can build on that. He works very hard and plays well when challenged.

On Sunday's win:

Coach Shurmur: We felt like two tight ends was an advantage for us. It just depends on how the defense matches up.

Coach Shurmur: It all comes back to staying on the field for third down. We just have to stay on the field.

On Sam Bradford:

Coach Shurmur: Sam Bradford hasn't been able to play a lot of football over the last two years, but he's playing better each week.

On Murray and Darren Sproles:

Shurmur said that teams are still double-teaming Darren Sproles in coverage, which is impacting his reception totals.

Shurmur thought DeMarco Murray did a good job running the ball. For the most part, he was effective running the ball.
