Yahoo Sports NFL on Patrick Ricard

Ricard downplays Week 1 psychology; execution and preparation matter most.

Giants fullback Patrick Ricard discussed the psychological impact of Week 1 results on the matchup against the Rams, noting that while teams may initially feel momentum swings—'you're going to initially think they're going to be pissed off'—the focus ultimately shifts to recovery, personnel study, game planning, and execution. Ricard emphasized that 'at the end of the day all that really matters is, after a game get your bodies right, get recovered, start feeling good for the week, dive in on who we're playing, kind of get the personnel, and then get the game plan from our coaches.'
