1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: With uh with Sam Biale. Obviously, you guys have to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: make a decision with the roster and a weak How 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: tough is it gonna be because there's not a lot 4 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: to evaluate there. Yeah, you're right, Um, we're just gonna 5 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: have to see where he is physically. You know, we 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: we drafted him for a reason. We'd like to see 7 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: him beyond our team and then we'll just see where 8 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: he's at and then we'll make a decision. You know, 9 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: at three does he have to be healthy? That deadline 10 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to see. You know, again, that's something 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to evaluate as we go forward. He's 12 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: getting healthier by the day, and you know, it's just 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: unfortunate that we haven't been able to see him do much. 14 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: But unfortunately that's the way it is sometimes have Baker 15 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Mayfield study blew Is mining. You guys picked Daniel and 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: that you know, the quote was you forget you have 17 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: to win. What's your reaction to that, Baker commenting on 18 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: whether we drafted Daniel. I won't see that to be that. 19 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: That's not original commentary, is it, you know, And we 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: had a reason for why we did, and you know, 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: we we do feel like he he helped his team win, 22 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: and we got a lot of reasons why Daniel is 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: our quarterback. So beyond that, I don't have much response. 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't told you that a players basically blasting your guy's 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: decision making, blasting the kid are you drafted? I mean 26 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: not really. I mean it's just he's in a long 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: line of people that criticize that move. So I mean, 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: that's that's his business. And if I were Dan, I 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't even I wouldn't even address it, just like he 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: hasn't addressed all his other critics. The one thing about 31 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Dan is don't don't confuse calm and composed um for 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: a guy that's competitive and a winner. And I'm fond 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: of the phrase still waters run deep and um. So 34 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: that's what I think of Dan. Beyond that, I have 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: no other comment. Were you've been concerted about his winning? 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: Is his one lost record when you pretty drafted him? Nope, 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: we thought, I know he's a winner and he helped 38 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: his team win games. YEA. Each quarterback is evaluated based 39 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: on their skill set and their ability to lead their team, 40 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: and each guy is each guy is um a member 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: of a different team. So we don't worry about what 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: what next steps do you look for him to take 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: in this thirdy season game? Do you is it a 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: heavier install? Are there specific things you're looking for him 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to approve on or build on? Or I'll just play 46 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: good football, all right. Take the snap when you're asked 47 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: to throw passes, get completions, when you're asked to run 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: the ball, hand the ball off and lead your team 49 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: into the end zone. I'm sure you've probably said if 50 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: I know, John and Day specifically said, like being a 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: quarterback of the Giants comes with, you know, dealing with 52 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the spotlight. Are you what you're actually 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Daniel has kind of handle some of the negative spotlight 54 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: out of the gates. I think he's handled it terrifically. 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: And that's that's part of his charm is he's he's 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: a deep thinker, he's well thought out and he and 57 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: he gets it. And so that is part of being 58 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback is being able to lead and say and 59 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: do all the right things. You know, I want. When 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: we talked about playing quarterback, relative to playing quarterback, it 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: starts with decision making and I think that carries over 62 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: to all areas of your life and we're confident that 63 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: he's gonna make good decisions and live a good life 64 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: outside the field, and that that gives us the confidence 65 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: to know that when he's on the field, he's going 66 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: to do the same thing. And I'm sure I'll be 67 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: shocked to hear this, but O'Dell said today that he 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: felt like the Giants sent him to Cleveland to die. 69 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Was his quote. Is it get frustrating to hear a 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: player who you guys traded hat here in the building 71 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: continue to take these shots all offseason? Not really, I mean, 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: quite frankly, on our list of issues of the day, 73 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter what or Baker said. There's there's 74 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: many other things that we shot should probably be discussing, 75 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: just to follow up there. Obviously you didn't make the trade, 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: but the confident you took the best trade out there, 77 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: regardless of what city. Again, we wish him well and 78 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: it was a trade and we've said that all along, 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: and again I can't I wouldn't comment on what what 80 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: he feels about the situation. All right, And you're asking, 81 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: do we love to play two positions and giving him 82 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility? What does that say about what 83 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: you guys think of his football, like you and how 84 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: he's been able to progress with Yeah, No, he's he's 85 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: done a really good job. So his ability to play 86 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: the nickel and then and play in the back end, 87 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: that that's really a good thing. It said. You know, 88 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: he's got really good instincts. Um, he's a guy. There's 89 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: not a lot of wasted motion, so he can kind 90 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: of see and and diagnose what's happening and get there quickly. 91 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: And I think that's why he's had the ability to 92 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: play two spots. But you seem to have a lot 93 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: of tight ends that have played well in camp and 94 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: that you'd like, how do you how do you whittle 95 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: that group down? We just keep watching him play and 96 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: take the best. You know, three four two or three four. 97 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: How many of her fit the roster? That's it. Head 98 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Linebacker Jonathan Anderson seemed to make some plays in the 99 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: first game, but has seemed to slide down a little down. 100 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: In our mind, he's competed well and he'll get an 101 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: opportunity in this game again to show us what he 102 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: can do that more than half way quick training can 103 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: How do you think that you notice has been embracing 104 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: the new role of beaming someone that's not usually being 105 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: vold with having so many yellow canter backs. I think 106 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: he's had a really good camp and you know, again, 107 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: you don't have to be vocal to lead said that before, 108 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: and I think he's done a really good job of 109 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: helping mentor those players. And a lot of times it's 110 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: it's nothing that you say. You know, we all are 111 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: very aware of what people do, and certainly, uh, you know, 112 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: the young guys are able to watch how he trains, 113 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: how he studies, how he competes, and there's something to 114 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: be learned from that. Is that surprise you at all 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: that he was so ambracive of that role based on 116 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: maybe you know, some of the termoil here that matters, 117 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: not at all. I'm not surprised at all. I've got 118 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: a very high opinion of Jack Rabbit. Take two more 119 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: back with the guy like Big George. Are your options 120 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: with him dwindling in the sense if you can't get 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: on the field that I are physically unable to performer, Yeah, 122 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna We're just gonna have to see when the 123 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: time comes. Um. But again, he's in that concussion protocol 124 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: and we all know that, you know, it affects guys differently, 125 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: and you know, as he hadn't been able to compete yet, 126 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: so we're gonna try to do the very very best 127 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: we can to get him well so we can what's 128 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: the what's the next step for for your defense? You 129 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: starting defense now to this preseason game? What do you 130 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: what do you want to see from the well? Continue 131 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: to play well together. I think they gotta, you know, 132 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: make sure they're overexaggerating their communication and being in all 133 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: the right spots, playing with the right leverage. And then 134 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: when it's um you know, up front, certainly one where 135 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: the other teams throwing the ball, we've got to be 136 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: disruptive and get pressure on the quarterback. It's Darius leading 137 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: up tomorrow, we'll see, we'll see he's getting really really 138 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: close to being in there. We'll just have to see 139 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: if he makes it.
