Tom Coughlin "just as excited" to get started as he has always been

With Sunday's season-opening game against the Dallas Cowboys approaching New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Wednesday he is " just as excited, just as nervous, just as anxious to get started, just as anxious to see our team on the field" as he has been throughout his coaching career. Here are some of the other takewaways from Coughlin's Wednesday press briefing.

Coughlin said Pierre-Paul was "in an outstanding frame of mind" during his two days visiting the Giants "was not ready to play" and has gone back to South Florida. He said Pierre-Paul is "optimistic" and the Giants will "monitor" him.
