1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Everyone help all as well, and you are your families

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: are staying safe. UM. I have quote on the line,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: and just a reminder, please take your name before your question.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: You can go ahead. You can go ahead with questions. Hi, Colds,

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Catti training. How are you hey? I'm great? How are

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: you this morning? Very well? I hope you're staying staying safe?

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: Uh Cold, I wanted to ask you you are now

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the longest tenured UM quarterback in the NFC, each division

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: backed up or started. I just was more undering how

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: important was it to you to stay in the division.

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 1: That's a great question. UM. I don't know if it

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: was if I looked at it from a standpoint of importance,

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: but I do I do think it's an advantage. Um,

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, spending my last six years in d C

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: and playing on and off there and then having the

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to join the Giants. Uh, you know, I think

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: that playing those teams, you know, their their systems, are

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: their coaches you know or there or you know coordinators

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: and things may change, but you you do have a

20
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: field for players and and uh their skill set and

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it's a very competitive division. And UM, I do think

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: there's value in staying in in the in the East

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: for sure. Hey Gold, it's thom Rock from news Take.

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you have any uh, you know, existing

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: relationship with Daniel or you know guys that have you

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: even ever met? Yeah, great question. I Uh I've met Daniel,

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, just in pregame, you know, before we played

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: them in the last you know, a couple of times

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: last year. Um. You know, I know him more as

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: as a quarterback because playing in the same division, you know,

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: you get to watch their tape weekend and week out

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: because we're playing all the same opponents across the league.

33
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: And I as I just thought he played you know,

34
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: very well last year as a rookie, and his views

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: his futures is bright and ceilings high. Um, and he

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: seems like a really really great person. Um, you know,

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: I he's obviously very lucky to have had a guy

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: like Eli in the QB room who I really, you know,

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: really look up to and respect as a guy who's

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: just done it right, did it right his whole career.

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I think Daniel knows of the

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: importance of of a of a great quarterback room and

43
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: a healthy quarterback room, and um, you know, I've I've

44
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: talked to Daniel Uh since I signed a couple of

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: times and and just told him how excited I am

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: and and and coming up and and learning this new

47
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: system together. And UH kind of unfortunate the circumstances that

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: we're in right now. We're gonna have to get creative

49
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: and in ways to learn and grow. But UM, you know,

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I think I think he seems like it seems like

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: a great person, and I'm excited to come in and

52
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: work alongside him and and Alex and and really just

53
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: really come in and work hard and and and compete

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and and and bring out the best in our quarterback room,

55
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: which I think will will really benefit our team. Colt

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: Valence sign from SB Nation. You went through the two

57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: thousand eleven lockout as a young quarterback. What advice can

58
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: you offer Daniel or what thoughts can you offer on

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: how to prepare for a season, you know, when the

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: off season is interrupted like this. Yeah, that's that's a

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: that's a really good question I had. I had talked

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: to Uh a few of my friends about that lately,

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: and that was probably the worst thing that happened to

64
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: me as a young quarterback, was I played my my

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: rookie year, and and then we went into the lockout

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: going into my second year, and I didn't get the

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: playbook until like we had to two or three weeks

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: of training camp, and that was the first time I

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: knew anything was completely new system. And you know, we

70
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, I played decent that year, but our team

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: certainly struggled. Uh And and so I think that I

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: can take some some experiences and some lessons learned from

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: that and and hopefully hopefully helped Daniel. I think Daniel

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: is is uh well prepared for this. He played a

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: lot more his rook heere than I did. UM. But

76
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: still it's it. There's challenges, and it's it's a new

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: it's a new system and in new ways to call

78
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: plays and you know, the new philosophy from what we're

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish as an offense. And I think that

80
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: I'll really do my best to be a great resource

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: for him, you know, during this time as we start,

82
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully I don't know what the rules are yet,

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: but hopefully as we get going on this uh kind

84
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: of virtually learning and and zooming on our computers that

85
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: the installs and things with Coach Garrett and then you know,

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: probably Daniel and I spending time on the phone or

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: or getting on our own zoom calls to really talk about,

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, the ins and outs of of what we're doing.

89
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: And and uh, I think as best we can, we're

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna have to adapt and and basic these

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: challenges just like everybody else the league. But certainly I

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: remember that lockout season being being a real challenge uh

93
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: for me. But I'll do my best to help help

94
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: Daniel and and UH make sure we're in he's feeling

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: as confident as he can and and we as an

96
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: offense or are feeling as good as we can do. Hey,

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: COVID's Patty Again. I'm just wondering, did uh coach Judge

98
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: or or Coach Garrett talk to you about specifically how

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback room is going to kind of, um be

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: structured in terms of you have Alex there who worked

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: with Daniel a little bit last year. Now you're coming in.

102
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Are you guys competing directly or or you guys like

103
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: complimenting each other or how is that working? Yeah? Good question. Um,

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: you know I did spend a lot of time talking

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: to coach Judge and talking to coach Garrett and and

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: uh they they they seemed great over the phone. And

107
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, I know Coach Garrett for playing against him

108
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: the last six years of the Cowboys, and um, really

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: they think that his system is is very QB friendly.

110
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: Just watching it from Afar, I'm excited to get going

111
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: in that. And I think you guys probably all know

112
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: the structure. I mean, I'm assuming Daniel Daniels the starting quarterback.

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: He was a six pick in the draft, and he's

114
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: got a super bright future. And but that doesn't count

115
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: out just coming into to uh, you know, practice hard

116
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: and and work hard in the classroom and in the

117
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: film room and study. And I sort of, you know,

118
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: mentioned on another phone call earlier that you know, for me,

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: as I've been a backup and I've been a starter,

120
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 1: I think the way that I approach it is number

121
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: one is making sure each week that uh, Daniel feels

122
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: as comfortable as he can going into these games and

123
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: and understanding and and feeling good about the game plan

124
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: and and our preparation all week long so he can

125
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: go out and play as play as best he can.

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: And you know, I take pride and and and helping

127
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: him feel that way and helping coach Garrett and I

128
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: being an older guy, you know, you don't get a

129
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: lot of reps, but you've gotta do a lot of

130
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: mental reps. And then the second part is is the

131
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: responsibility of being ready to play. Is something were to happen,

132
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: and you gotta go in coming off the bench and

133
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: and and play well, and that that's expected. And so

134
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: those two things, you know, I've I've I've been a starter,

135
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to be a starter, but as a backup,

136
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: it's it's just as crucial to handle your business that way.

137
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: And and uh, I really feel confident that that I

138
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: bring value to to this team and and to that

139
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: quarterback room. And I think that that you know, approaching

140
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: it that way is is the right way. And and

141
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: um again, these challenges that we're facing now with with

142
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and having to learn online and all those

143
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: things will it will be interesting, but I think we'll

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: be all right. He calls it s bull Schwartz in

145
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: the New yor posts. Um Um, what is the key

146
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: to being a good backup? I mean, obviously you came

147
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: into the league and wanted to play and things like that,

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: but what is the key to supporting a younger teammate,

149
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: staying ready, and you know, not getting out of yourself.

150
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned some of that, but is there

151
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: a key that you have You think the Giants saw you. Um.

152
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: The one thing that coach Judge and Coach Garrett told me,

153
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: they just said that, you know, and we've watched all

154
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: your tape for ten years and you've you've started a

155
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: ton of games in this league, and but you've also

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, been a backup and when you were called

157
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: to come off the bench or or play, you've always

158
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: you've always stepped in and and won the game and

159
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: and played well and played up to the standard. And

160
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: we we we value that and that's that's why we

161
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: want you to come be here. UM. But I think

162
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of challenges in playing backup.

163
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: But like I mentioned, you have to be ready to

164
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: play and and and you have to be able to

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: to watch tape and study and be disciplined and learn

166
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get a lot of reps and um.

167
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: But I think more more important than that is is

168
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I look at it from the standpoint of what if

169
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: what if I wanted to be a coach someday. You know,

170
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: I've I've played in a lot of different systems. You know,

171
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: my dad was my high school coach. Have been a

172
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: water boy since I was like three years old, So

173
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: I've I've been around the game, and I love the game,

174
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: and I you know, playing backup creates a lot of challenges,

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: and you know, you may not play all year long.

176
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: You know, I backed up Kirk for two years and

177
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I didn't take a snap, you know, and then and

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: then you know, I've some some other seasons I played

179
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: four or five games, and so it's there, there's it's

180
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: it's unique. Um but I sort of just try to

181
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: be another set of eyes, another set of ears, another

182
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: encouraging voice, and and like a coach for whoever the

183
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: starter is. And you know, I think it will help

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: me if I want to make a transition someday to

185
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: be a coach to call plays. I want to understand

186
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: and learn this system in a way that that is

187
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: is detailed, it's it's it's um structured, and that I

188
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: could call the game just like Jason would call the game.

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: And I think by doing that, by learning and by

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: by understanding it, and that that really helps Daniel or

191
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: who's ever who's ever playing and would help me ultimately

192
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: if I was called upon to play, And um so

193
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: I I just I try to get creative with it.

194
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: But I also know that that I know my role

195
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: and what it entails. And uh, I tell you what,

196
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more excited to come to a place

197
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: where I don't know a whole lot of people. But

198
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: I love the game and I'm excited about the opportunity

199
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and and and the challenge, and um just just looking

200
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: forward to when all this passes, getting getting up there

201
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: and getting to work. Okay again, I just wanted to

202
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: ask you mentioned the challenges of learning and often with

203
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: Daniel and and Alex, and I'm just kind of wondering.

204
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, so much of what the quarterback received

205
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: a relationship that it's physical. You guys have to establish

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: a feel for each other. You have to establish timey

207
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: and stuff. I'm just wondering, as we're you know, in

208
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: these challenging times, how can you kind of start to

209
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: build that up with your receivers so that when you

210
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: do get to work out with them, you can hit

211
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: the ground running. Yeah, I think I'm not real sure,

212
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: like exactly how that's gonna work. I think, you know,

213
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: when we do these zoom kind of live classes or

214
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: or installs. I don't know how it's gonna work. I've

215
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: never used it, but I'm hoping that there's some interaction

216
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: between you know, players. You know, you're listening to your coach,

217
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: so maybe you have an interaction with players, or you

218
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: can maybe hop on a call with you know, maybe

219
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: you know some of the other guys to feel like, hey,

220
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: what how do you think about that? Is that? Do

221
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: you like the depth of that route? Is that how

222
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: you were taught? Is that you know? So you can

223
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: go through a lot of different things with them. And again,

224
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: I think all all thirty one other teams are facing

225
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: the same challenge. Um. I think some teams who are

226
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: in the who are going to continue in the same

227
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: system maybe have a little bit of an advantage. I

228
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: think the teams like us who are who have a

229
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: new coach and a new system, are a little bit

230
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: of a disadvantage. But you know, that can't be a

231
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: crutch or an excuse either. We've just got to figure

232
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: out ways to get creative. And you know, with the

233
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: first time that we can go toss the ball around

234
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: and and run some plays that we were all on

235
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: the same page, and um, you know, hopefully we can

236
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: we can figure that out from this and why um,

237
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: there's a possibility that we for a lot of years

238
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: here could watch Daniel Jones and and Dwayne Haskins go

239
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: against each other. I'm curious what your thoughts were of

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Dwayne after seeing him up closed for a year. Yeah,

241
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: it was, it was good. I mean, I think Dwayne

242
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: has a has a ton of potential, uh, just like Daniel.

243
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: I think Daniel played a little bit more this year,

244
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: so he's probably gotta little bit more experienced. But both

245
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: those guys were highly sought after, uh in the draft

246
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: last year. They both had great college careers and and

247
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: they both have uh a ton of skill and playing

248
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: the position. And I know Dwayne is very talented throwing

249
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: the football. And um, it'll be good, you know, I

250
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: get to play against the Redskins for you know, at

251
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: least for this year, and we'll see what happens. But uh,

252
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: it should be fun. It should be fun. I think that. Uh,

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm excited to work with Daniel after having

254
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: worked with Dwayne last year. I know he's, uh, he's

255
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: got a bright future and and uh, you know, be

256
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: fun fun games for sure. Old Tom Cannaban with the

257
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: A P you kept on saying this sys some live

258
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: classes installs. Have you gotten a playbook? But we's gonna

259
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get going on on Monday as long as

260
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: that that is uh kind of upheld by I'm just

261
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: don't know the rules, but I think that's that's sort

262
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: of the plan, and you know, we'll we'll dive into

263
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: that playbook then. I think right now it's everybody's just

264
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: really you know, focusing on the health and wellness of

265
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: our of our country. And I know the giants specifically

266
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: for the players, they're in constant contact with us and

267
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: making sure that we've we've got all the things that

268
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: we need from from a health standpoint. And uh, but again,

269
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of uncertainty. I think I

270
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: think Monday is kind of the day where we're kind

271
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: of gonna get all that and get get going. Um

272
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: so yeah, call yourself a little bit about possible future

273
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: and coaching. I mean that's something you're you're just kind

274
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: of hypothetical about or are you really uh, I mean,

275
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: is that loos gonna happen at that point. Well, necessarily,

276
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: I certainly don't want to rule that out. I've been

277
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: playing football for a long time and been around the game,

278
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: you know a long time too. I think I would

279
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: be a good coach. UM played in a lot of systems.

280
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp and

281
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: understanding of the game. UM, So yeah, I don't I

282
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: don't want to rule that out. I still think that

283
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of football to be played left

284
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: in me. It's why I'm it's when I'm still going. Um,

285
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: But coaching intrigues me. Yes, I I think that that

286
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: that could be in my future. And UM, I looked

287
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: at this as an opportunity to learn from coach Judge,

288
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: coach Garrett uh, Jerry Saplinsky, RQV coach. I mean he's

289
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: been been a part of He's coach Tom Brady and

290
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: many other guys. So I think there's there's a lot

291
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: of value in this place and in this organization to

292
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: to really learn learn more football. And and I'm excited

293
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: about that. Have you had to talk to Jason All

294
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: about that, because he's obviously had a long NFL career, uh,

295
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: mostly as a backup and and sort of made that

296
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: Jones to coaching. Have you had us yet or who

297
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: is that something that might happen to down the road

298
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: you Yeah, no, I I've had great conversations with uh,

299
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: with coach Garrett Um and some about that for sure.

300
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, he he certainly has has kind of has

301
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: done that. He played for a long time and been

302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: a super successful coach. And I'm excited to learn, you know,

303
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: from him and not only you know, his system and

304
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: him coming back to calm plays this year, which he

305
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: hadn't done in a couple of years. Uh. But but really,

306
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned earlier on this call, there is

307
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: value to playing for a coach that has that played

308
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks to play your position, because there's there's little

309
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: things that pop up and you know, he sees the

310
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: field the same way we do. He understands and uh.

311
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: But but he has an expectation of us to to

312
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: play at a high level and he knows how he

313
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: wants his offense run. Um. But it's it's there is

314
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: a difference like playing for coach Gruden he played quarterback

315
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: to Uh. It's it's just there's a familiarity there that

316
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, he sort of understands what we see and

317
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: and and how we play. And I think there I

318
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: think there there is benefit to that called on along

319
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: those lines, how much value was there to going back

320
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: and looking at chates of Jason Garrett's just them before

321
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: he became the head coach, you know, back when he

322
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: was an offensive coordinator in Dallas, and just you know,

323
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: getting a feel for what do hes the situation. Yeah,

324
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: I think I think there's certainly will be a time

325
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: for that. I'm sure we'll watch Cowboys offense tape, you know,

326
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: during these installs and and kind of down the road.

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: I think. I think right now we're just trying to

328
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: get a good grasp of just the terminology and the

329
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: protections and formations, how we call the plays, all those

330
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: things and then once once, once you kind of soak

331
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: that in. I do see a big value in in,

332
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, watching those plays be executed versus different coverages

333
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: or defenses or fronts um you know. So I'm sure

334
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: that that's I'm sure that's coming. I think right now,

335
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: it's more just learned the foundations of what we're trying

336
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: to do. Carl. It's Kim Jones from NFL Network. How

337
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: are you great? When when you were around Alex Smith.

338
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm just curious because of his um reputation as sort

339
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: of a a leader and and to some degree mentor,

340
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there was anything from Alex in particular

341
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: that that you picked up and if you'll be particularly

342
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: curious in terms of what the future holds for him. Yeah.

343
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: First of all, Um, I love Alex. Uh. He he was,

344
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: uh just a tremendous resource, a great leader, a good

345
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: football player, and and even more above that, was just

346
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: just a great person. And my two years with him,

347
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: I think we're some of my most enjoyed years. And

348
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, it was the worst thing ever to see

349
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: him go down and have the injury that he faced

350
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: and kind of walks through that with him, uh and

351
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: sort of still walking through it with him. Um. You know,

352
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: I think I felt more confident than ever, you know,

353
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: when he went down and coming in and playing and

354
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: leading our offense, and you know, I felt like I

355
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: was playing at a at a really high level and

356
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, before I broke my leg as well.

357
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: But we had a great working relationship. He is I

358
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: definitely will take a lot of the things that I've

359
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: learned from him as I move on to the Giants

360
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: as far as just the quarterback room, the health of

361
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback room, um, studying different ways that he looked

362
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: at tape. Uh, this kind of you can go down

363
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: the list, um and and but I just I really

364
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: valued my my time with him, and he's one of

365
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: my best friends. And I certainly hope that he has

366
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: a chance to play again if if that's really wants

367
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we'll see what happens with that.

368
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Thanks everyone, than cold, Thanks fun, Okay, thank you guys.
