EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Cullen Jenkins is a 12-year N.F.L. veteran, an anchor on the Giants’ defensive line, and lavish praise for opposing quarterbacks does not often pass through his teeth four days before a big game.
But on Wednesday, Jenkins seemed unable to stop himself from evincing his admiration for Sunday’s target.
“His knowledge and execution of plays — it’s crisp,” Jenkins said. “He knows exactly where he wants to go with the ball for each different look that a defense gives him.”
Jenkins, of course, was speaking about Tom Brady, the all-everything leader of the New England Patriots.
