I mean I thought, uh, you know, 23 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: the way the game kind of played out, we didn't 24 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: uh you know, by by any means play a perfect game. 25 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things we could have we could 26 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: have done better, but I thought we we fought and 27 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: we battled, uh you know till the end of the game, 28 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: and we're able to win. So that was exciting. What 29 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: was it like, you and Eli Manning with a nice 30 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: hug there on the field at the end of the game. 31 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: That had to be a pretty cool experience. Yeah, that 32 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: was uh, you know, that was cool, and you know, 33 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: just just uh really grateful for for everything.

Uh, No, that was exciting, 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: you know, certainly uh you know, appreciative of of coach 39 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: and and uh you know, the team and uh yeah, 40 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was exciting and you know, 41 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: I think, uh, like I said, it was, it was 42 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: a team winn you know, we we did a lot 43 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: of things, you know, as a team that that kind 44 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: of you know, pushed us there through at the end. 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: But um exciting you're being painted as un flapped. Well 46 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: you're so commoner thing where you're nervous you first start, 47 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: there was, Yeah, there was. I mean there's some nerves 48 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: and and just getting out there the first time. I 49 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: think that's uh, you know, kind of natural. But I 50 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: think once you get kind of in the flow of 51 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: the game, you get started, and you know, a little 52 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: bit goes away and you're you're you know, you're playing football. 53 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll be lying if I said there were 54 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: any nerves going in. But you know the most impressive 55 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: part about it is the nerves going away. And you 56 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: were playing football because we were calling the game, and 57 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: the second touchdown that you scored, I swore to Bob 58 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: that it was a script that played because the receivers 59 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: all went outside in the middle of the field opened up. 60 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: And then we find out that was a decision you 61 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: made just seeing it and just playing football. Yeah, we 62 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: had a you know, a pass pass route on there, 63 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: and and I thought, you know, when you watch the player, 64 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: you see the you know, the offensive line kind of 65 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: just clear out the whole, uh center of the pocket, 66 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: and you know, I just was able to see that 67 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: and and take the space. But you know, I thought 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: we did a great job, uh you know, clearing it out. 69 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: And then you know they're they're matched up there with us, 70 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: uh in man, so we kind of just opened open 71 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: the space up. So UH took that. You're down eighteen points, 72 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: you're going to huddle, all these veterans standing around you. 73 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: What do you say? You know in the huddle? But 74 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: going into half, I think, you know, our message was 75 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: just to keep doing what we're doing, but do it better, 76 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: do it more officially, and um, you know, we kind 77 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: of got kind of stalled out there a little bit, 78 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: and you know, three and out a couple of times 79 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: and not really having a whole lot of rhythm with 80 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: her offense. So that kind of the message was to 81 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: was to get some rhythm, you know, find a few 82 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: players to to uh to get us going and and uh, 83 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, chip away at it, you know, one play 84 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: at a time, and you hear that in one score 85 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: at a time. But I think that was what we 86 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: were saying. That was the message, and and uh were 87 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: able to do that. Looking for watch the reskins another 88 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: defense here. It's your first time seeing them. What are 89 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: you seeing on film that it really has to make 90 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: you say, Okay, these are some things that we really 91 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: got to be cognizant of. Um. I think their front 92 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: from one, I think they got a you know, a 93 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: good front, and um, you are able to you know, 94 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: put some pressure on on quarterbacks they've played and so 95 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: definitely being being ready for that, making sure we have 96 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: a good plan. Um. And I'm you know, locked into 97 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: what they're doing up front, and uh, you know, I 98 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: mean I think it's a solid defense. I've got, um, 99 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: you know, good guys in the back too, so we'll 100 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: be locked in. But I think we've got a good plan. 101 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: What are you looking to improve on in your second game? Um? 102 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: I think for one, you know, ball security, I think 103 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: is the obvious. You know, with with two uh two fumbles, 104 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: you can't have that and and certainly made it uh 105 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot harder on us. So you know, I'm focusing 106 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: on that, um specifically. But um, you know, there's there's 107 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things I think, you know, specific to 108 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: certain places, specifically certain reads and just trying to make 109 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: those decisions quicker. But um, yeah, I think you know, 110 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: first and fore month, ball secured, danielso a great start. 111 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: We appreciate a couple of minutes and good luck. On 112 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: Sundays you get to play your first home game, which 113 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: should be a lot of fun as well. Yeah, thanks 114 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: for having me. That was Giants quarterback. That's Giants quarterback, 115 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones.
