Cruz talks to McAdoo after no-target game vs. Steelers
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — After failing to be targeted once against the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz had a talk with rookie coach Ben McAdoo.
What was interesting on Tuesday was Cruz said that it was McAdoo who sought him out as the Giants (8-4) returned to work and started looking forward to playing Dallas (11-1) on Sunday night at MetLife Stadium.
“I came into the building, we were getting ready for our first meeting and he came up to me and was like, ‘You are coming to see me, right?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I am coming to see you.’ Shortly after, I came and saw him and we spoke and then that was it.”
Cruz said the conversation was an honest exchange between the coach and the 30-year-old veteran who is playing again this season after missing all but six games the past two years with knee and calf injuries.
