Yeah, I'm just so 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: proud to be a part of this team. Uh. You know, 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: we had zero points at halftime, and the defense was 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: playing lights out and we we rallied together and you know, 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: they helped me out. They called me down there in 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: the second half. I felt like I played a little 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: better as as the game went on. Um, you know, 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: I was seeing a lot of things earlier. They pressured 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: a lot, and you know, I wasn't confused on a 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: whole lot of looks. I just was kind of seen 15 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: it too quick and I just needed to calm down 16 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: and take a breath. And uh, once we started running 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: the football, I felt I felt a lot better. That's 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: a really good football team. And but to me, the 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: offensive line and our defense, you know, deserve all the 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: credit for for this one.

How 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: much was that the game plan? How much is that 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: just kind of how it unfolded. Yeah, it's just kind 27 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: of how it unfolded. Um. They're a really good front 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: UM and we we felt like we liked our matchups 29 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: outside of just uh they were heating us up early 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: in the game and you know, to have that much 31 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: time to get to push the ball down the field 32 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: is tough unless you use play action. We we had 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: a nice second drive of the game and then we 34 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: you know, I turned it over down the red zone 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: that took away points. Uh, that was that was a 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: tough one, UM. But then as the game went on, 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: we just kind of played to to how how it was, 38 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: how it was going. I don't think you know, we 39 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: we definitely had a plan to attack, UM, but you know, 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: you get in a game and you never know how 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: they're going to respond and what we need to do. 42 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: And how certain were you you were to start throughout 43 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: the week and at what point did you know, Okay, 44 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm the I'm the guy here now I can you know, 45 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: I know I know what I gotta do here.

One of the things that 63 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: Eli each tore the running backs and the offensive line, 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: you said talk about Neil I was here, was how 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: well he did changing the play at the line in 66 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: the sense of picking the right holes. You your stats 67 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: may not be great today, because you know you did 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: a good job of getting the holes right Yeah, that's 69 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: a big part of it. Um, just communicating up front. 70 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: You know, we did everything on the ball, and uh, 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks pose a lot of problems because they show 72 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: you a lot of different looks. They you know, thirty 73 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: three can run a game right, and so I always 74 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: understanding where he is kind of making the right checks 75 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: and getting us into the right you know, protections. Um. 76 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, for most of the game, 77 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: we did a good job of that, especially in the 78 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: second half, but those guys up front really really dominated 79 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: and you know, helped us come out with this win 80 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: for sure.

Yeah, you know, I had I hadn't played 84 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: a whole lot either, but it's it's very gratifying, you know. 85 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: I I talked to the guys, you know, Coach Judges 86 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: let me break down the team at the end. I 87 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: just told him, you know, how proud I was to 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: be a part of this, to be with this group 89 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: of guys. Uh, you know that's special to me. I 90 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: love the game of football. I've been playing for eleven 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: years and I'm fortunate to still be playing. I count 92 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: my blessings every day. But to come coming here on 93 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: the road and figure out a way to help our 94 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: team get a win, obviously there's things I can do better. 95 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I played so far from perfect. Um, but 96 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: I think I did did a good job in the 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: second half, settling down and seeing things and taking a breath. 98 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, I felt like in the first half, I 99 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: just I was ahead of the play a lot, which 100 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: you know, I hadn't done it in a while. Um, 101 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: But I think that, you know, overall, a lot of 102 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: things to clean up. But again, I love, I love 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: the game. I love being able to play, and playing 104 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: with this group is is pretty special and I'm really 105 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: appreciative of it. Got time for two more Duggan and 106 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: Bruce back Duggan a cold. In the second half, it 107 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: seemed like you guys went heavy personnel a lot and 108 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: had a lot of success running out that. Why do 109 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: you think that works so well for you guys? You know, 110 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: I think that really, I don't want to say that 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: wasn't part of the plan. But when when we got 112 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: in some big people and through some play actions early 113 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: in the game. It worked and you know, I think 114 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: the old line felt like they could get some removal 115 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: in these in these big personnel packages. And it also 116 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: helped us block thirty three. I mean, Jamal Adams can 117 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: run a game, uh, and so you know, knowing where 118 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: he was and getting a hat on him, you know, 119 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: really really helped our run game and we we we 120 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: ended up finding some things there in the bigger, bigger 121 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: people and the run game was working and helped me 122 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: out a lot. And I know this is on the 123 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: other side ball, but as the quarterback, what's it like 124 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: just with this defense? You know what they were able 125 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: to do today and kind of keeping the game you 126 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: know put out. I mean I played against those guys 127 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: every week. Our our defense is great, um, especially up front, 128 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: and you know in the secondary they worked so hard. 129 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how how focused and uh determined 130 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: they are every week uh to be great. And there's 131 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot of leaders on the defense and those guys 132 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: are playing at at a really high level. And um, 133 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: you know, they did it again today and came up 134 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: big for us. You don't win a lot of games 135 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: when you have zero points at halftime, you know, so 136 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: our defense kept us in it. And um, and we 137 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: came out and made some plays in the second half 138 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: and UH put together a nice team win. Last here, 139 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Bruce bad Pold, who helped you the most of preparation 140 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: for today's game. Who do you want to give a 141 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: shout out to? Uh? Lots of people. UM, I want 142 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: to say something in particular, like Daniel Jones is a 143 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: phenomenal guy. He's a great quarterback. He's he's the leader 144 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: of this football team. Uh. He didn't miss a beat 145 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: and meetings, he knew he wasn't gonna play. And from 146 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: the things that he helped me with on the sidelines 147 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: too during the week, we have we have a great relationship. 148 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: But um, he's he is. The Giants are lucky to 149 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: have him. Uh. And so he was a big help. 150 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Jason was a big help. I thought Jason called a 151 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: called a really good game. He called me down there 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: when things weren't going great. Um, I knew he knew 153 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I was seeing it. I just needed to take a 154 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: few breaths. Uh. And again, playing on the road like 155 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: this against this defense, they pose a lot of problems 156 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: in your protections. They come after you. UM, you know, 157 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I think they were like pressure, you know, on coming in, 158 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, to this, to this game over the last 159 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: three or four weeks. And so as a quarterback, you're 160 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: not playing a lot like you kind of feel. You 161 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: feel that and you prepare for the DJ helped me 162 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: just calm down, see it, you know all week long, 163 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: and um, obviously can be a lot better. Let's let's 164 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: get that straight. Um, But to come out on top 165 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: up today, hats off started to our defense and to 166 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the offensive line, and the running backs ran well, the 167 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: receivers caught the ball, and um, you know, it's it's 168 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: fun to be a part of it, for sure.
