00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: grateful for the opportunity.

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: So why did you choose the Giants?

00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Uh? Because, man, I like, what what's to come here?

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna build some some special We're gonna win some games,

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: and you know, just do what we gotta do to

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: get the job done.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: Now, you played against the Giants this past year. You

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: played a little more than a dozen snaps, you got

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: hurt throwing the game. What was kind of your takeaway

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: from playing against this Giants team in terms of the

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: culture of the team and the way they play.

20
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: That defensive front is real. That was the That was

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: the first thing. I mean, obviously we noticed that watching

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: film before the game, but going out there in filling

23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 2: the speed, you know that the power of the guys

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: in the middle, the middle, and you know, just just

25
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: going against you guys man, that that front is definitely real.

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: All right. So you have seventeen starts forty nine games.

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: You've played more right tackle than left tackle, at least

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: in terms of in game snaps. Right, what's your comfort

29
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: level of both spots? You consider yourself more right and

30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: more left? How do you view yourself in terms of

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: position Flax.

32
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: I see myself on either side. I feel comfortable equally

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: at both spots. Getting that experience at left tackle last

34
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: season definitely helped me and made me feel confident in

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: my abilities at left tackle. So I definitely feel like

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: I could play both.

37
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Jeddrick Goules got hurt and you had to

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: step in the left tackle. Right, So, now, how many

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: snaps had you taken in college and practice at left

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: tackle before you had to step into those game situations

41
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: at that spot?

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: Well, in college. In college, I played the whole season

43
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: I left tackle, and then when I got to the NFL,

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: my first game that I uh that I got in

45
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: during the regular season was against the Minnesota Vikings. I

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: believe it was like Week four or maybe Week three,

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: and I finished the game at left tackle. So left

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: tackle is it's not something that's foreign to me, but

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: it's it's definitely something that you know, I've grown to.

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: You know, like over time, did.

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: You did you talk to anybody around the league that

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you know that maybe has connections here about what it's

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: like here and why this would be a good fit

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: for you.

55
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: I didn't really speak to anybody about about that, but

56
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: I just know that it's a good fit for me. Man.

57
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: The the vibes around the building just see seemed right. So,

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: like I said, man, I'm excited.

59
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to talk to Carmen Brisil

60
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: or your offensive line coach?

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: Yes, we actually just talked for about about twenty minutes

62
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: in a calf Man. It was great, Uh, you know,

63
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: just picking his brain a little bit, him telling me,

64
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, the basics of the protections and stuff like that.

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: Get my mind bat going on football. You know, it's

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: it's good man. Coach seems like a seems like a

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: great guy. Man. I can't wait to get in the

68
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: room with him.

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: How different based on what he told you when you're

70
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty minute conversation obviously didn't get the heavy details, but

71
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: are some of the basic protection rules compared to maybe

72
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: what you've done in the past.

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's it's all similarity in it. In the NFL

74
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: when it comes to protection, a lot of just a

75
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: lot of the protection rules are the same. But I

76
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: mean it's just you know, you got you got different terms,

77
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: So I mean our terms are probably gonna be a

78
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: little bit different from what I'm what I'm used to.

79
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: But I mean it's not nothing that I can't can't

80
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: learn and get accustomed to.

81
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: I know, I asked you about tackle. Do you have

82
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: any experience inside playing guard? Did they talk to you

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: about maybe being a fucks guy inside or have they

84
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: talked you mostly about tackle.

85
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: I have not played any guard yet in game, but

86
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: I have played guard in practice, and it's it's not

87
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: anything that I'm against.

88
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Man.

89
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: Whatever I have to do to get on the field,

90
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: I will do.

91
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: I really think being the backup swing tackle is one

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: of the toughest jobs in football. I gotta be honest

93
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: with you. Did you have to be ready to go

94
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: on and play two different spots. You have to be

95
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: ready to play two different opponents, but that could be

96
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: completely different styles. Be used to playing next to a

97
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: different player, which on the offensive line is important to

98
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: have that unspoken chemistry with the guy next to you.

99
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: So what's your process like to be ready for a

100
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: game where look, if I gotta go on the right side,

101
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm ready. If I go on the left side, I'm ready.

102
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: How do you prepare for that?

103
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: Well, my coach Bill Kyllahan told me as a as

104
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: a as a rookie, you gotta treat that role as

105
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: if you know how baseball players, how the pitchers close

106
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: the game.

107
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I like that.

108
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: You know how the pitchers switch in in and out

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: throughout the games. Uh. You know, it's basically the same

110
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: thing with being a swing tackle. Somebody goes down in

111
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: halfway through the third quarter, you have to come in

112
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: and finish the game, and you it can't be any

113
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: drop off, especially if you're if you're going at left tackle, uh,

114
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: or if you're going at right tackle. But I mean

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: more so I at left tackle. I mean you're come

116
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,799
Speaker 2: in and you got you're protecting the quarterbacks blind side.

117
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: So I mean that it's it's definitely hard, not easy

118
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 2: at all. But yeah, it's like you know the picture

119
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: jobs in in baseball, hoddle up, get in here.

120
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: If you're lined up here, you gotta go over the

121
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: middle with it. The score great? How do we make

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,040

129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: would you describe your mentality as an offensive lineman and

130
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: your approach to the game in general.

131
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: A dog man. I just want to get out there

132
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: and work and just you know, I let the work

133
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: speak for itself. I don't cheat anything when it comes

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: to the work, you know. I just I just want

135
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: to go out there and just help the team win.

136
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: You know.

137
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 2: I want to do whatever I gotta do to help

138
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: the team win.

139
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: So I gotta imagine, like most offensive linemen, you prefer run,

140
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: blocking the past.

141
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Blocking whatever whatever is gonna get the ball in the

142
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: end zone.

143
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: No, I feel you, man, do you have a preference

144
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: like gap scheme, zone scheme, run game anything like that.

145
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: I don't really have a preference. But I mean in

146
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: the past, coming from our offense, you.

147
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Know, we were a wide zone heavy zone, right.

148
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: Heavy heavy wide zone office, and it kind of transitioned

149
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 2: this past past season to mid zone. But that that

150
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: zone scheme is kind of what I what I come from.

151
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: What was it like being coached by Bill Callahan. He's

152
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: one of the great offensive line coaches and the lad's

153
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: been doing a long time. What are some of the

154
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: things you learned from that you think you can carry

155
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: in hear to the Giants.

156
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Coach Callahan and Coach Callahan has helped my game tremendously,

157
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: you know. He he taught me a lot as as

158
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: a rookie, and you know, I had a bumpy rookie

159
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: season and it helped me get better for the for

160
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,000

161
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: happen again that happened in my rookie year, and uh,

162
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: it was good that those things happened early on and

163
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: that it you know, I gain that experience so that

164
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,040

00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: of feel like I don't know any other way. Coach

177
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Callahan was a hard coach. I mean, I don't know

178
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: any other way than to be coach hard.

179
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: So now I hear you, man. Final question, do you

180
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: have any bucket list thing like in New York the first,

181
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, day of free time in the city or

182
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: things around the area you want to do?

183
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: I do not, Man. I've been in New York a

184
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: couple of times, and you know, I've done things that

185
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: I've done the things that I wanted to do before

186
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: when I came. But you know, it's gonna be a

187
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: little bit a little bit different living here, but I'm excited. Man.

188
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: You actually get better weather here than in Cleveland. You yeah,

189
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: better than Cleveland. Absolutely, look like one of my best

190
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: friends lives in Cleveland. So I mean that like two

191
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: times a year. I don't think I've seen the sun

192
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: there when I go to Cleveland. Oh, it's cloudy, it.

193
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: Gets it gets pretty, it gets pretty warm up there, man.

194
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: But I would say it's some similarities in the weather

195
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: between New York and Cleveland, and both get cold and

196
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: really really cold in both places.

197
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: It does here. That's true. You said you were here

198
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: before and you did what you want to do. What

199

230
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Anything specific with the offensive line, coaching situation or the

231
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: group that you think makes it a good fit for.

232
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120

233
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: Andrew Thomas, Jermaine and those guys. Great guys to learn

234
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: behind and work with.

235
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: Did you have anyone either from a coaching or player perspective,

236
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: that you were able to talk to to talk about

237
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: this situation, to kind of get an idea of what

238
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: it would be like to play here.

239
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: I talked to Drew Locke. He was in Seattle with me,

240
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: so he was a little foot in the door for me.

241
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Nicely, what do you have to say about being here

242
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: in the organization.

243
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: And great organization, he said. It's just very family orientated.

244
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: It just a great place to be here.

245
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: All right. So you've played a lot of snaps in

246
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: this league. You've had fourteen starts, fifty three games. You've

247
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: played right tackle and left tackle. Comfort level at both

248
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: spots are the same or more comfortable on the right side?

249
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Where do you think you're kind of better right now?

250
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm about the same.

251
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: During the off season. It starts an off season for me.

252
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: I do a rep at left, rep at right, so

253
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: finish more workouts doing those every day. So I'm kind

254
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: of comfortable of both either wherever I'm now.

255
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: You're a tall guy six eight three h seven obviously

256
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: very long. How do you like to utilize your length

257
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: in the way you play the position to protect the quarterback?

258
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: I just like get my hands on the guys first

259
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: to keep them off me, kind of redirect them, meet

260
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: them rather than let them hit me. So kind of

261
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: try to beat the hammer rather than the nail in

262
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: that situation.

263
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: That's a good plan. James Hudson another guy that's coming

264
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: in here, also a guy that plays right tackle left tackle,

265
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: and I asked him this question. I ask it to

266
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: you too. I think being that backup swing tackle is

267
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: one of the hardest jobs in the Yeah, for sure,

268
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: you have to be ready to come in and play

269
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: two different positions. You have to footwork is completely reversed.

270
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: You have to play next to a different guy. The

271
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: guy you're playing against is going to be different. So

272
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: what's your preparation like during the week to make sure

273
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: you're ready to step in in either spot at a

274
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: moment's notice when you're needed.

275
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 3: It's a lot of mental work for me. I mean

276
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 3: kind of I mean going throughout the week, and you

277
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: get long in the season and kind of the reps

278
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: are limited throughout the season, so a lot of mental

279
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: work just visualizing, just kind of going over your steps

280
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 3: left and right, just kind of off the field, maybe

281
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: during warm up or anything like that. So there's a

282
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: lot of visualization for me.

283
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: You've played the Giants the last couple of years. You

284
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: started to get right tackle one year, left tackle the other.

285
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: What was your feel for this Giants team, their culture,

286
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: how they go about their business on the defensive line

287
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: specifically obviously, is that's the group you're going against?

288
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: Uh delon, Those are some dogs. We knew we were

289
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: going to get a get a four quarter game going

290
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 3: against those guys every year we played them, and uh,

291
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: fortunately or unfortunately this year we kind of came up

292
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: short in that situation because it was there's a dog

293
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: fight the whole game.

294
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a very close back and the fourth game.

295
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: All right, So New York the city, what do you

296
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: know about it? If you've been here before?

297
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: Your feel just for the games so far, it's been busy,

298
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: a lot of traffic coming from the airport.

299
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: Did you find the Newark or what'd you flying to? JFK.

300
