1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: What's your reaction to it the trades this weekend. Was

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: it a surprise? Um? I was certainly. Um, I'm not

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: expecting it, but I am so thankful to be here

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: under the leadership of Mr Gettleman Coach Shermer. UM. I

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: just think that they're building this thing the right way.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: I believe in those guys tremendously. Um. All the decisions

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: that they make, I fully support and whatever that means,

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: we've played out the way it needs to be played out.

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: You looked at last week, I mean after the gaming,

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: weren't happy with the way the game started for you personally?

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: You said afterwards, what did you think when you saw it?

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: When you went back and looked at it, and what

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: what do you what do you take from it and

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: move forward? UM? Yeah, I thought that the speed of

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: the game affected me personally at the beginning. And I

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: think that, Um, that can happen against goods fast pass rushers,

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: and you kind of catch up to the speed, and

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: you you don't want to have to have that happen.

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: But so going into this game, UM, they have fast

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: guys as well, and they have plenty of speed, and

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: so you gotta come out there fared up ready to

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: go um off the first snap and not make those

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: early mistakes that you have to overcome when you signed

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: back to the trades. When you signed here, you were

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: probably thinking as the Giants were Super Bowl contender, team

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: that can win right away. Those trades kind of signal

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: looking towards the future. Maybe a rebuild does that. What

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: do you think when you uh, you know, probably a

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: long way from what you were thinking six months ago. Um,

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: what I was thinking six months ago is the same

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: thing I'm thinking now, and that was God ordained this

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: whole thing. He brought me here for a reason. Um,

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm being obedient with what guy is saying to me,

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: and I'm so thrilled and joyful for for that reason.

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: And whoever is inside this locker room, whatever, Um, the

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: circumstances are, don't change that. So to encourage the guys

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: to love my teammates, to do the best that I

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: can every single all day, everything single thing that I

39
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: do never changes, no matter what the circumstances are. Yeah,

40
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: how would you great or describe how you play? Are

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: you overall? So far? I don't like making general statements

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: like that. I think that there's some bad, some good. Um,

43
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: we move forward, we get better as we go. I

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you about Spencer, what did what did

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: he bring to the line up? You guys obviously made

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: a change. What how did he play? What did he

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: bring to the line It's a different configuration now. Yeah,

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: you know what, I really respect Spencer and his professionalism.

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: He came in here and hasn't everything he's needed to do.

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: He's learned an offense. UM, he's been a good teammate,

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: a good leader in his position, and he's doing everything

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: he needs to do. UM. We're practicing hard, playing hard.

53
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: You guys have had eight different guys started a game

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: going back to Alapia. How hard is that? Because every

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: time you're talking offensive lineman, they say chemistry, chemistry. You've

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: got five guys together. How hard is it when you

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: haven't been able to have that. I also think that

58
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: that can street extends beyond the starting five. I think

59
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: that's within the room, within the position. I think extends

60
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: the tight ends. I think extends to the um, the quarterback.

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: I think that there's a chemistry that builds UM and

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: it's a group chemistry. It's not necessarily one person or another.

63
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: Shermer said when in the preseason. We're going only gonna

64
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: go as far as our offensive line takes us and

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys probably yourself included, but like, good

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: put it on our shoulders. We want that now that

67
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: you're one in six, Do you have to weigh that

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: on your shoulders? Absolutely? Absolutely. I think that that's the

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: blessing and the curse of having a lot of weight

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: on your shoulders is um, a lot of people are

71
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: depending on you, and uh, and that's great. I mean,

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. I think that, like I said before,

73
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I think God ordained all this. I think that there's

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: no surprises about any of this in his eyes, and

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: so I'm living out the way that he wants me

76
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: to live out my life. And that's amazing. I'm so

77
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: thankful for that. If this is a you know, rebuilt, Yeah,

78
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: it's traded some guys and you know it's not going

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: to be able to do you kind of look back

80
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: and any regret or are you happy and you're content

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: with We might have to lose here for a few

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: years before we get against This is one game at

83
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: a time. You guys are talking big picture, that's none

84
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: of my business. I don't look at that I take

85
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: one game at a time. I focus on the next opponent,

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Everything I need to do, everything, my teammates

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: need to do, everything we need to prepare for, um,

88
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: evaluating film. If you get caught up on a bunch

89
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: of other stuff that doesn't really affect what we're doing now,

90
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a distraction. It's going to take

91
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 1: away from what we're doing. And that's the most important

92
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: thing vibe in here is after you trade two pre

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: established players, Um, you know what, You've got a lot

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: of hard nosed dudes that care. You know, you see

95
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: smiles on people's faces because they're passionate about what they do.

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: They enjoy what they do. Um, we love each other.

97
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: I think that that's what special important important. You know.

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Kind of what Ryan had said, would you know, show

99
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: us a really I'm gonna go as far as all

100
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: pens wine can take is at one in six? Do

101
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: you guys? Is it fair to put a lot of

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: that on you guys? I mean, is is the criticism fair?

103
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: That A big part of the reason for the record

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: is there's always going to be criticism. If you win

105
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: every single game, there's gonna be criticism. If you lose

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: every single game, there's gonna be criticism. There's some good,

107
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: there's some bad. You improve on the good and you're

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: on the bed and you you keep doing what's good

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: and you move forward
