\n One of the most important jobs in football has not factored into the Giants\u2019 season-opening plans in 15 years.<\/p>\n

It matters now. More than ever. And it matters deeply to Colt McCoy to emerge on the other side of a difficult journey.<\/p>\n

Iron man Eli Manning retired and took with him the sense his backup quarterback could leave the pads at home on game<\/a>day. In the year of the coronavirus, any player \u2014 including starting quarterback Daniel Jones \u2014 could be held out of a game on short notice because of an asymptomatic positive test result, thus increasing the value of a veteran No. 2 like McCoy. <\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody has to think of it that way now,\u201d McCoy told The Post. \u201cI don\u2019t think it would change my preparation. Part of my role is to have myself prepared to play in a worst-case scenario, whether that\u2019s coming off the bench or in these crazy COVID times. You just never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Say that again.<\/p>\n

Three weeks after Washington quarterback Alex Smith suffered the horrific injury that nearly led to leg amputation in November 2018, his replacement, McCoy, fractured his fibula just above the ankle. Infection turned a four-week timetable with hope of returning for a playoff game into a three-surgery nightmare that spilled into the following season and marred his chance to be a starter again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of complications that I dealt with and the up-and-down emotions that go with that,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cIt was really frustrating \u2014 especially when you know it\u2019s your opportunity to play \u2014 but I finally feel like I\u2019m very healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

After making 21 total starts for the 2010-11 Browns, McCoy slipped onto the trusted career-backup carousel. The former third-round draft pick didn\u2019t start a game in four of the next five seasons and watched Washington cycle through Mark Sanchez, Josh Johnson, Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins when he and Smith were sidelined.<\/p>\n

McCoy was exposed first-hand to parts of Smith\u2019s \u201cmiracle\u201d comeback to return this season. In his own recovery, McCoy, 34, rushed back too soon to make one start last season \u2014 and he wasn\u2019t going to make the same mistake again. <\/p>\n

\u201cI spent the whole offseason focusing on getting my leg [strength] back and turned a corner,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I wasn\u2019t going to get it back, I wasn\u2019t going to play anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

When McCoy sought a fresh start in free agency, the most logical landing spot was the Rams based on a relationship with coach Sean McVay. Then the Giants called to offer a one-year contract and absolutely no familiarity, but McCoy instantly clicked with coach Joe Judge and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something about going with your gut,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cTo be wanted in a place where I really didn\u2019t have any prior relationships was intriguing. I\u2019m in the right place. To be going into my 11th year and learning a new way to do it has been challenging, but it\u2019s been fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manning made 232 starts (210 consecutive) in front of 18 different mostly anonymous backups and two more off the bench last season when Jones missed two starts with an ankle injury. McCoy\u2019s preseason play inspired confidence as he helped a slew of unproven receivers stick around. <\/p>\n

\u201cColt does a nice job managing the game,\u201d Judge said. \u201cHe has a lot of savvy to really find the open receiver. He has a lot of poise in the pocket to sit back there when the pass rush is coming. He has that clock in his head from being so experienced that he knows when to get the ball out.\u201d<\/p>\n

In meetings, quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski suspects McCoy asks questions he already knows the answer to in order to help a young team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point in my career, I\u2019m not afraid to ask a question,\u201d McCoy said. \u201cIf I\u2019m unsure then I imagine a lot of people are. Great offenses click when they all understand what the goal is. That\u2019s all I\u2019m trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones can learn from McCoy, but the inverse is also true. McCoy is trying to replicate Jones\u2019 communication, cadence and audibles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m thrown in the fire,\u201d McCoy said, \u201cI want to be able to make sure I\u2019m doing it just like Daniel\u2019s been doing it. That way everyone can feel normal. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to go to a place where you might go 16 games and not step on the field, and yet you have to be ready each of those weeks. That sort of grind takes a toll on your mind, but I\u2019ve been through that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And much worse.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
