EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Mistakes are good? New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur said on Sunday that they can be, when they are made in a practice environment, corrected by player and coach, then not repeated.
“It’s easy to do the math. every once in a while you’ll say this guy gave up this or guy gave [up that]. But, it’s a competitive situation, we’re all out there getting better,” Shurmur said during his Sunday morning press availability.
“Sometimes the mistakes that show up in practice are very important. If they weren’t important then you wouldn’t practice, because when a mistake occurs what typically happens, at least our mindset is first the player admits that he made a mistake, then he gets with his coach or whoever, they discuss how they’re going to fix it, they go about fixing it and they move on to the next play and hopefully not make that mistake again.
