Um, I 47 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: think I've just grown mentally. Um. The game is kind 48 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: of slowed down for me, and I just learned how 49 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: to really study tape. I learn how to, um, you know, 50 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: study guys, especially like in man coverage and and no 51 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: defensive zones and know where this places are and just 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: really getting getting football smart. Um. I think that was 53 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of the biggest thing I needed to grasp coming 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: into the game.

Yeah, I know you've worked your butt 59 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: off of trying to become a better blocker too, and 60 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, this year, I think the team has relied 61 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: on your tight end group really heavily. I mean, you've 62 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: be a lot a lot of twelve personnel, a lot 63 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: of thirteen personnel the last few weeks.

Remember F D I C. Now, 90 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: as we move forward, Now, what are some of the 91 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: things you're working on? How do you iron out you know, 92 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: maybe some of these individual plays in games where you 93 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: look back and you say, oh, man, I really could 94 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: have made that play, but I but I just didn't 95 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: happen to make it in that instant. So how do 96 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: you iron out maybe some of those inconsistencies as you 97 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: continue to progress in your career? Yeah, I mean, honestly, 98 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: it's all about this being consistent. Um, you know there's 99 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: every every bad play, every every bad player, every mistake. 100 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's something small that's not being done. Um, 101 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: that's not being done to to make the play. So um, 102 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: the biggest thing is you know, facing those plays and 103 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: facing those mistakes and and seeing what I'm doing wrong 104 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: and building better habits to prevent from me for me 105 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: doing that wrong thing or wrong technique or whatever. So 106 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: I think it's that's been the biggest biggest part of 107 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: me being consistent UM and uh and and trying to 108 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: trying to make as many plays as possible and even 109 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: when the mistakes happen, you know, learn from them, um 110 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: and grow from it. How was this coaching stats helped 111 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: you do that? Because just my feel for it and 112 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: you tell me if I'm wrong, it feels like they 113 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: really get into the minutia and every little fundamental and 114 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: every little thing you guys do, which to me logically 115 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: would help eliminate so of those inconsistencies, right yeah, UM, 116 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, and that's just that you know that that's 117 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: just kind of the work um that that they the 118 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: standard up we sat around here. UM. Obviously, if there's 119 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: something you need to improve on something and you work on, UM, 120 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: you got find time to work on and find time 121 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: to do it. Um literally you know, before practice catching 122 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: balls or working getting getting on the bags, um, working 123 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: steps and are blocking game during a special teams period 124 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: or something. UM. Kind of just the standards they sat 125 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: around here is um, you know, um, do what you 126 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: do well UM, and work on what you know. And 127 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of kind of been the model since day one. 128 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: And and that's kind of the biggest thing that coach judges, UM, 129 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: trying to develop us as players is find our weaknesses 130 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: and get better at them. You know, a lot of 131 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: people made a big deal about Freddy Kitchens calling players 132 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: last Weekevan, but we all know Jason was involved in 133 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: the game playing and stuff during the week. But it 134 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: was look different for you guys because then you had, 135 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: I guess Bobby Blake and some other coaches step up 136 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: on game day. So what does it like for the 137 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: tight ends having Freddie have to step into that bigger 138 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: role on game day? Um, you know, it wasn't It 139 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: wasn't too much of a change. Um, Freddie just maybe 140 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: spent a little bit extra time for quarterbacks, um, you 141 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: know during the week, and um we still we still 142 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: have our our tight end time and our film time 143 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: with him. So it wasn't that much different. We we 144 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: always meet as a unit mostly anyway, So UM it definitely, uh, definitely, 145 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: he definitely had a little bit more on his plate, 146 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: but UM, Freddie handled it well and make sure we 147 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: were still on the same page and make sure we 148 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: had to do what we had to do and also 149 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: um accept the role of calling plays. The New York 150 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: Giants in Quest agnostics want our fans to come back 151 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: stronger than ever.

Um Daniels our leader, 156 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: Um and Daniels Um plays with a lot of heart. 157 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean he brings, he brings his team a lot 158 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: of juice.

Uh, 173 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: we's got execute um and make make the make the 174 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: players make on one on one players, make the bass um, 175 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: make that one block to spring that run. I just 176 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: got execute on every level, at every every position. And uh, 177 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: when we do our job, and obviously we we be 178 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: who we are and make the plays that that we've 179 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: made before and make every day I'm at practice, I 180 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: think we'll put point. The points will come. And one 181 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: way to do that is to make some more big plays. 182 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: And I know you guys probably haven't had quite as 183 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: many chunk plays in the passing game as you would 184 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: have liked this year. So how do you try to 185 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, develop and and really put more of those 186 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: big chunk plays on the field, which can eliminate some 187 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: of that margin for error on some of these long drives. 188 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: You have to produce the score points. Yeah, like I said, 189 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna gotta make the I mean, this 190 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: league is is teams play man or a teams play zone. 191 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: And these these windows are tight, It's windows are small, um, 192 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and it's it's gonna be a contested catch it's gonna 193 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: be a battle, it's gonna be a tough catch to make, 194 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: or or a tough tackle the break or something like that. So, Um, 195 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: like I said, just you just gotta make those plays. 196 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: And when we make those plays, you know, it gives 197 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: our gives that player, it gives um each individual boost 198 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: of confidence and the boost of energy, and and it 199 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: gives a team that as well. So it just all 200 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: of it all comes full circle. We just gotta make 201 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: those plays, all right. Two questions on the Ravens this 202 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: weekend and before we say goodbye. They play a ton 203 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: of man to man defense. I think they play cover 204 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: zero the second most of any team the league, over 205 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: ten percent. Yet somehow you figure if teams do that 206 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: right and they blitz a lot, you can make some 207 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: big plays down the field. But they don't allow big 208 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: plays either. So how do they at the same time 209 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: blitz a lot, you know, put pressure on the quarterback, 210 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: play a lot of man, play cover zero, but not 211 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: give up those big play that usually go along with that. Yeah. Um, 212 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: they're just a welld coached team. I'm well coached secondary, um, 213 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: and they have a lot of talent upfront that's getting 214 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: pressure and creating those tough throws and creating those tough pockets. 215 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: So um, that's what they do. Um. You know, they 216 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: blitz and they send pressure and they force you to 217 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: make those plays. Um. And they have talent at every level. 218 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: So UM, Like I said, you know, it's that's that's 219 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: gonna be the game. We have to go up and 220 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: make plays and and uh, we have to communicate and 221 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: pick up pick up pressures and have our protection. Right. 222 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: We all have to be clicking on all cylinders because 223 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: they're a great team and great defense. Um, and we 224 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: have a big challenge ahead of us. I have a 225 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: final question. The real truck to for tight ends, of course, 226 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: is you don't have the we're just about the passing 227 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: in but you're could be involved in a lot of 228 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: past protection in this game. If they blitz, you gotta 229 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: mass protect those sorts of things. As I mentioned, highest 230 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: blitz right in the league. They bring pressure from everywhere 231 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: dB safety's linebackers, they drop defensive linement at the coverage, 232 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: they do everything under the sun. So what do you 233 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: guys need to do to make sure those creative blitzers 234 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: don't wreck what you're trying to do offensively? Yeah, biggest 235 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: things communication um pre snap, um, you know, getting our 236 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: I D s um, getting knowing where the lines working, 237 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: Knowing who the back has and and when the tight 238 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: ends a part of the protection. Knowing who we have 239 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: and you know that that literally is all communications. So um, 240 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to be able to uh to, like 241 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I said earlier, make plays and make the big plays. 242 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: We also had to communicate pre snap and make sure 243 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: we have all of our I D s and details 244 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: and watch a lot of tape that shows what they 245 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: do and when what they're bringing, um, and to be 246 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: ready for it. Evan, good stuff. Congratulations, Merry Christmas, and 247 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: good luck on Sunday. Yeah, I appreciate it.
