Notes and Quotes: QB Eli Manning yesterday denied yesterday’s Bergen Record report that the Giants and Manning are working on a contract extension. “There has been no talk and it is not on my concern, not on my watch right now,” said Manning. “My focus is Cleveland and getting ready for this season and the next games and I haven’t even thought about that situation.”
Browns’ DT Corey Williams, who played with the Packers last season, on HB Brandon Jacobs and the Giants’ offensive line: “It’s a zone-blocking scheme that lets him run and pick a hole. There ain’t nothing physical about them.”
Williams on Jacobs: “We came real close to beating the Giants in the NFC title game. We were hitting (Jacobs), and he was slowing it down. He left the game. They let the Bradshaw kid come in. He’s really the one who killed us.”
