1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. Let's go, Let's go,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: let's go out on the Giants. Moble, give me some

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: jum part of the Giants podcast Network. Let's roll, and

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: now we welcome in one of the newest members of

5
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants, quarterback Russell Wilson.

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: Russell Haway Man Man, I'm excited to be with John.

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so let's talk about it. Giant fans

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: have seen you play for a long time, and I

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: think what gets really excited is the way you throw

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: the deep ball. Giant fans have been looking for exposive plays.

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: What makes a good deep ball? On why you're so

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: good at it?

13
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: And the moon ball is uh, you know. I think

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: it's it's the players you have around you. We got

15
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: got like Milik Neighbors going down the field making plays

16
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: of Darius Slayton. I think Jalen Hyke can do it

17
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: more too. He's so special. There's many other guys that

18
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: can make plays. Give him the guy a chance. I

19
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: think there's that's something I've always been Uh, I don't know.

20
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: Maybe God's gift to me has been a put put

21
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: it up to the moon and let it drop. For

22
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: it needs to.

23
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: What has he excited about this receiver group that you'll

24
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: be throwing the ball time?

25
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: I just think the versatility. You know, you Milik Neighbors

26
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: can catch a screen and take it to the house

27
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: eighty yards, just like he did against the Colts. Or

28
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: it can run by Dari Slay can run by guys

29
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: and catch a post route, whatever it may be. I

30
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: just think that the versatility of all the guys. I

31
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 2: love how Wandell you know, sits in between the hashes

32
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: and makes plays and after he catches it, he's not

33
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: getting tackled. So I'm excited about tight en room too,

34
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: you know obviously with THEO and you know big old

35
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Chris Manherts I played with and Greg Doltcich guys that

36
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: can really make plays too.

00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: clear you've watched a lot of Giants tape. What is

49
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: it about Brian Dables' offenseive appeals to this will be

50
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: your fifth offensive coordinator in a five years? Is does

51
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: it remind you of something else you've done in the past,

52
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: And how quickly do you think you can we get

53
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: this offense?

54
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think the aggressiveness of day ball. This

55
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: guy's one you know, obviously Dave's is one coach of

56
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: the Coach of the Year not too long ago. He's

57
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: a guy that's coached some you know, greats and obviously

58
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: Josh Allen Tua, you know Jalen Hurts, and so I'm

59
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: excited to play with him. I'm excited.

60
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: You know.

61
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: I had a great meeting with him last year and

62
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: it was a close decision all this and all that,

63
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: and just the opportunity to play for him. And I

64
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 2: know a lot of people that know him well too,

65
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: and everything else and vice versa. So I'm excited to

66
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: get after it.

67
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Is it similar to anything you've done in the past.

68
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: Well, we haven't gotten to all the details yet, but

69
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: by watching the film, there's a lot of things I've

70
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: done in the past that he's done and everything else,

71
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: and he's he's just got such a creative mind. You

72
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: can see it on films. So I'm excited about that opportunity.

73
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: So you've been in the league a long time, a

74
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: lot of experience. How do you think your game has

75
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: changed as you've gotten into your thirties and you've been

76
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: in different assenses and you've learned more about yourself as

77
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback.

78
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, I think the biggest thing

79
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: for me is just trying to be explosive in plays

80
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: and playmakers that you have around you and facilitating the

81
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: ball to the right guy at the right time. You know,

82
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing for me is continue to

83
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: you know, just be aggressive in every way in your

84
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: approach and mentality. You know, I feel like, you know,

85
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: two years ago, in twenty twenty three, I played you know,

86
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: you know, I felt like myself again. Fully, my first

87
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: year in Denver, I was hurt, but my second year

88
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: I felt like myself again, you know, And really, you know,

89
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: do a bunch of touchdowns all that stuff. But it

90
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: didn't work out there. But I got to go to

91
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and and everything else, and I didn't get to

92
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: play in every game. I got to play I think

93
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: eleven of them, and I felt good in those for

94
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: the most part. But just you know, getting ready excited

95
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: about this opportunity here. I think that what the Giants

96
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: can do and what we can do together, I'm really

97
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: excited about the opportunity.

98
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: If you want to know how to manage two minutes

99
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: of crunch time football, I'm your man.

100
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: But if you're wondering about a long term financial plan,

101
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: you should talk to Citizens.

102
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Hey, I can also talk long care.

103
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: I'd like to learn about AMOLLI routine. Yes, I knew

104
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: I could help makes sense of your money with Citizens.

105
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned the explosive plays, But at the same time,

106
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: you don't turn the ball over over your whole career.

107
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: You've only had one year. I think we've had more

108
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: than thirty interceptions. Right, You protect the football, So how

109
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: do you bounce protecting the football yet still getting those

110
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: explosive plays. Do you think they'd be in conflict a

111
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: little bit?

112
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think ball placements is important, you know, especially

113
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: when you're putting the ball down the field or whatever

114
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: it may be. You know, and you know it's like

115
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, people sometimes say they're fifty to fifty throws.

116
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: I call them ninety tens, you know, and you know,

117
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: just the ball placement of where you put the ball

118
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: where you know your guys can get and that takes

119
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: a lot of reps. It takes a lot of time.

120
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: It takes you know, you know that time under tensions everything.

121
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: I think that another part of it too is just

122
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: decision making, you know, and you know, and you have

123
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: to be able to you know, no when it's there,

124
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: when it's not, be able to check it down, you know,

125
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: sometimes throw it away whatever it may be. And you know,

126
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: just giving our defense a chance every time every week.

127
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: And I'm excited about that opportunity because we had great

128
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: defense here.

129
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Ross welcome a board man. Thank you so much. It's

130
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: a pleasure, and we'll look to see you in here

131
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: about a month. Getting going with the guys.

132
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: I'm excited.

133
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Russell Wilson new quarterback for the New

134
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,479
