FOXBOROUGH - Tommy DeVito enjoyed his two seasons in New York, playing for the Giants - mostly as a backup quarterback.

With Monday Night’s game on tap with the visiting Giants , the Patriots quarterback said he was looking forward to seeing some of his former teammates.

As for where DeVito’s allegiance lies, he left little doubt.

“I loved my time there,” DeVito said of the Big Apple. “When I was there, it was, ‘Go Giants’ but now it’s ‘Go Pats’ all the way. I hope we blow them out.”

DeVito, who has been designated as the third quarterback in games for the Patriots , admitted he’s been providing whatever tips he can on the Giants.

And while it’s true most of the Patriots intel on the Giants comes from film study, DeVito, who was claimed by New England after being put on waivers by New York in late August, told MassLive Saturday there were still ways for him to be a resource.

While DeVito agreed with Mike Vrabel’s assessment that it’s a bit overrated how much a former player can provide, he did acknowledge being able to share some insights on play style, and player tendencies.

“I can help player breakdowns and give my two cents here and there,” DeVito said. “I’ll help in any way I can.”

For instance, sharing with Christian Gonzalez , Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones where Giants receivers like to get the ball, as well as other tells.

Defensive play caller Zak Kuhr acknowledged DeVito had been pitching in during the week, offering info.

“Tommy’s been helpful,” Kuhr said. “Just with the looks on the field, he’s been helpful, but he’s helpful every week.”

Kuhr, meanwhile, was a defensive assistant with the Giants last year, so he has a pretty good idea what’s in store. Although, with new coaches taking over after Brian Daboll was fired, along with the defensive coordinator, the Giants have gone off script.

“There’s a little (carryover),” Kuhr said, “but you can definitely see some change from when I was there, to this year.”
