What is 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: the Giants culture? Has it been established? And how are 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: you feeling going into next season?

And UM, yeah, I think that's 10 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: our coach, you know, right now, and we continue to 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: build on that.

Um, what would like to see him retire? Um? 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: It's kind of a bit of suite, you know. Um. 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: When I hear about retirement, I hear about you know. 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean I think of, you know, that person's legacy, 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: and I'm also the hard work to Dave had to 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: it in to get to retirement. UM. So now he's 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: gonna be laying back children, probably on the beat somewhere. UM, 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: And I congratulated him for that. But at the same time, 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, think about. You know, he gave me an 23 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: opportunity to play for the Panthers, and then he gave 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: me another opportunity to come here and play for the 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: John So I'm very appreciative of him, UM, and I 26 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: thanked them for that out there after the speech, and 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: UM congratulating him as well. I have one other question. 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: I know Joe talked to you guys about preparing for 29 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: next year and he's talking about coming back. Is anybody 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: like John Marrow or Steve Chase come up to you 31 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: guys and say that Joe is coming back or is 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: it just Joe telling you guys he just walked in. 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Was Joe walked in and we had a regular team 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: meeting that we had skills with for noon and that's 35 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: kind of how we found out about it. Okay to 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: more don't leaving and the Pat Leonard, Hey, James, how 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: are you doing good? About you good? Uh? A pretty 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: sweet jacket? Um uh. Question for you where when obviously 39 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: you're one of the best players on the team, one 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: of the best players, and you're the league at your position. 41 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: But when there's a GM change teams, you know, he 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: wants his own players. He starts making business decisions. You're 43 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: a guy who you know, there's some you look at 44 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: your contract, there's some savings, some dead money savings. So 45 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm curious when do veteran guys start to worry after 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: GM change. Do they worry about my spot on this team? 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: When when you see a new guy come in and 48 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: want his own players. Uh? With me, personally, I'm not 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,399 Speaker 1: worried about it. You know, I'm gonna just kind of wait, 50 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of waited out and see what happens. UM. But 51 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: as right now, I'm a part of the team, and UM, 52 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to being next year as 53 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: part of this team. But just generally, do guys were 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: veteran guys as good as yourselves, Do you guys have 55 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: to worry about that because it's a business or do 56 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: you not worry about that? Not so much? You just 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: locker rooms you've been in. UM, I mean veteran players 58 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: that are really good, I don't think they really worry 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: about it because I guess they feel like somebody's gonna 60 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: pick them up. UM, if they were to be released 61 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: or a business decision where it happened where they weren't 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,399 Speaker 1: part of the team that they were with. UM, so yeah, 63 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they worry about it too much. Was James. Uh, 64 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: it seems like Judge rand your team meeting as normal, 65 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: but didn't exactly announce like, hey, I'm staying. So if 66 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: this team hires a new general manager and that new 67 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: general manager wants to hire a different head coach, what 68 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: would you think of the idea of them eventually moving 69 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: on from Judge? What would you think of them firing 70 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: Judge and not retaining him? And if that's where it goes, 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: like you said, I would just think it's part of 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: the business. Um. I guess situations in the past, it 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: happened when new games came in and they want a 74 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: new head coach. Uh, when that time comes, if it happens, 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: it happens, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Um. I 76 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: just kind of just kind of wait it out and 77 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: see what happens.
