1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: He loved veteran and he's been consistent throughout his career.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, at a corner, you have plays, you have

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: to have a short memory, and he does that. He

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: moves on and you know he's back in here trying

5
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: to get back healthy and trying to do the things

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: we wanted to do. What's your confidence level in Shack

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: moving forward? Oh, it's still there. It's still there. You know,

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: they make plays, We make plays, but we just have

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: to make more plays and we have a confidence that

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Shot can go back out there and do it. Uh,

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: there's no loss of confidence in him. We're just ready

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: for him get another shot. Is it easier for you

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: as a coach to have a veteran corner who doesn't

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: really get his confidence rattle, even when you know he

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: has a performance in the way it did or plays

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: that happened. Really, corners have to have that that fearlessness

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: and you know, forget things because if you don't, you'll

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: have it in your mind. It cause you to play

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: soft and cause you play the way you're not supposed

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: to play. And he's the veteran corner and he understands

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: the game and he's had a bunch of success and

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: we look forward to him doing it again. Do you

23
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: ever worry when it's one of the leaders of your

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: defense that goes out there and has the struggle game

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: where it is it a little bit easier that way

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: because you know he's one of the guys that kind

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: of leads by example. I'm gonna keep working. I think,

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can never really put it on one

29
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: guy because at the same time, like when he's in coverage,

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: we have ten other guys that are out there supposed

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: to perform their job, and if they do their job,

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: then maybe that doesn't show up. So it's a team game.

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: And when you have one guy that I have the

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a play, there's ten other ones that

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: also have the opportunity. I know, hindsight's kind of do

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: you think you could have adjusted your calls a little

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: bit differently to take some of those crossers away? I

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: think I thought we did at the in the second half,

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: we did it, and you know, it just comes down

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: they're really making plays. The ball was coming out, we

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: were in leverage. Sometimes sometimes we're out of leverage, but

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: we'll learn from it. Got back to work yesterday and

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: going back to work to day we're ready to get

44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: it fixed. What have you seen from the Giants offense?

45
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Obviously Daniel Jones and there he he can kind of

46
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: run around a little bit. So what have you seen

47
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: from them in terms of how they've had success this here?

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: What is about him that that you know? It's game changer,

49
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: That's the thing. He the game changer UH in the

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: run game. He's special. UH has great vision, jump cuts.

51
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: UH can find a hole when it's not there. And

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: then their offensive line is playing well. They're protecting UH

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback, and they're also opening up holes. And then

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback itself is another dynamic. He's a guy that

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: can throw a ball on time and use his legs

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: when he needs to to get out of trouble and

57
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: to make place for him. Challenging that or is that

58
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: on your linebackers? Sort of winning quarterback can sort of

59
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: scramble around. You have to keep an eye on him

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's the same way we're uh it

61
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: really all through levels. The back end has to hold

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: up in coverage, the linebackers have to be aware in

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: zone coverage, and up front we have to make sure

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: we try to limit his movement in the pocket. How

65
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: important is it for guys like Josh just gonna comment

66
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: maybe not pressing, overactive and I'm not coming yet. It's

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: important for them to know that. But at the same

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: time they know that we need that and that's what

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: we're about and we have to generate that and we

70
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: don't need them to stress or go out there and

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: try to play without outside the scheme. We just need

72
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: them to be them and the plays will come. Just

73
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: trust the trust the process, and the players will come.

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: How much is not having fought ACACI at times impacted

75
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: your ability just to stop the imposing teams running game.

76
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: I think uh, Corey's done a good job of filling in.

77
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: But anytime you have one of your main guys not there,

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: the other guys step up. But if you were able

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: to have both of them on the field the same time,

80
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: that might help out. But there's really no excuse to it.

81
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: But we have to stop the run when it's time

82
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: to stopped to run, and we haven't been doing it

83
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: as consistent as we want to. So we're back to work.

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Said that, your defense and the identity that you wanted

85
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: them to have will be run stoppers when you're going

86
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: up against twenty six and when you're going up against

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: the back inst talent to as him. Is this in

88
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: the in like your mind and in your player's mind

89
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: one of those games that you need to prove it well.

90
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I think you gotta prove it every day. That's one

91
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of our slogans. You gotta prove it every day. Every

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: day you step out on the field. You gotta prove

93
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: who you are as a player and who you are

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: as a defense. And our division is like that. We

95
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: have good running backs in our division, so every week

96
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: we step out there, we're facing a good running back.

97
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: So that's part of have to step up every weekend

98
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: prove it every day. I'll have Devin Lloyd and Dave Unwalker,

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: the two rookies. How have they reshaped this defense and

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: elevated it? What's if you could kind of summarize now

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: that we're headed into weeks, since what you've seen from

102
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: them so far this season, how would you do that?

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: I would think the energy, physicalness, that's something that really

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: is different with those two guys. Devin uh he plays

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: physical on the second level, and Trayvron he's physical upfront.

106
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: But the really thing that stands out about those two

107
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: is the length they've increased our length on defense, and

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: they're able to help other guys in certain ways, and

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: they're able to make play themselves by being long, and

110
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: both of them are extremely long. How are they as

111
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: far as leaders, like, I know they're rookies, so do

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: they have a voice, um and you've seen them kind

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: of stuff up as leaders? Or are they mostly kind

114
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: of still learning at this point? Well, really, leaders are

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: really defined by their actions, and both guys are out

116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: there working hard and performing on the field. So guys

117
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: gravitate to guys that perform well on the field and

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: work hard. So their leaders by not by aids or

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: leaders by the way they play. What sort of play

120
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: have you got from Racion Jenkins. It feels like he's

121
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: been kind of flying all over the field and you've

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: been able to really of him around and play him

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: d playing close to the line of scrimmage and and

124
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: play him to his strengths a little bit. Yeah, I

125
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: think he's a piece that is playing well force and

126
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: we're happy, we're excited that you know, he's healthy, he's

127
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: going out there and he's making big, big plays. He's

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: being physical in the run game, being able to blitz

129
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: at times, and then his coverage. I don't think, uh,

130
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, guys are catching ball on him, so that's

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: a big plus. He's playing well and we hope keep

132
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: that going. Thanks. Thank
