1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,279 Speaker 1: I will start with Jimmy Bryan, followed by Phil Parrott, 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: a morning coach. I wanted to ask you about the 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: joint practices next week and with the Panthers. I know 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: in the past you've worked with coaches that you've had 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: our relationship with, and when you're working with someone new, 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: is it is it important to find someone who runs 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of a similar schedule as you or is it 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: more beneficial to maybe work with someone who has a 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: different schedule so you can kind of all ideas off 10 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: each other and just how that comes together, right, Well, yeah, certainly, 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's a little bit easier working 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: with somebody that we've worked with, you know, Matt and 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: Detroit Joe and New York Josh now in Vegas, so 14 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: those are pretty clean because it's we're pretty much doing 15 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the same thing, so it's easy to mess together, you know, 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,279 Speaker 1: when you work with a team that you're not as 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: familiar with, like Philadelphia last year or Carolina this year, 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: and yeah, definitely it's important to be on the same 19 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: page with the um, you know, with the other head 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: coach and their organization on what they're looking for and 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. So, UM, I feel real 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: comfortable working with Matt like we did last year with 23 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: you know, Philadelphia with UM with the Eagles and UM. 24 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about it, UM several times. We 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: talked about it last year, then we talked about it, uh, 26 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: you know at other points you know, along the way, 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: owners meetings indeed, things like that. And so it actually 28 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: worked out this year and I'm looking forward to it. 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: I think will be you know, be a great week 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: work for us, and you know, and it's a team. 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: That's the good side of working with coaches that you 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: know or you've worked with, is that you know the 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: scheduling and things like that. A lot of times their 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: style of play has some similarity stars UM. You know 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: in this case that in Philadelphia was another example where 36 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: that really wasn't the case. Those those teams will do things, 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, quite a bit differently that we do, and 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: so see different matchup, different schemes and things like that. 39 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: So I think there's a benefit to both. But yeah, 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: you certainly want a good relationship, working relationship with the 41 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: other organization and UM and coach and so with you 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: know last year with coach Charani, this year with a 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: coach Rule, I feel great about working with those guys. 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: They've been they've been great in the process so far. 45 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Should it'll be good this week? Thank you. Yeah. Next 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: question Philiperry, followed by Nicomalley May Bill, I wanted to 47 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: ask you how much you feel Taekwon Thornton has improved 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: as a route runner since he's come to the team. 49 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some carry over what he's doing college 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to what he's doing now, but I'm just curious how 51 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: you see them grow in that regard. I think all 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: of our rookie players have improved since they've been here, um, 53 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, and they all got a long way to go, 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and you know, we're just kind of scratching the surface here. 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: So you know, we just got a lot of work 56 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: to do with everybody, and but they're they're better than 57 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: they were, um, certainly back in May. And you know, 58 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: to stay by day process. With that route that he 59 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: ran last night, I know you mentioned it last night 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 1: in the press conference, but is that one of those 61 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: things It does look like from what we see a 62 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: training camp, it looks like that's something pretty similar to 63 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: what we see receivers run quite a bit, just kind 64 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: of in some drills before team periods start. Is that 65 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: encouraging to see, you know, a young player like that 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: maybe take something that that he's done in practice several 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: times and take it into a game situation. Yeah, of course. Yeah. 68 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: That's why we practice, is to try to you know, 69 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: get good at things that will help us in the game. 70 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: I just have one more on Taykwon if I could, 71 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: is he somebody bill that you could envision using inside? 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, his skill set, being such 73 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: a fast guy, you it would make sense to have 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: him sort of closer to the boundary. But is he 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: somebody who has shown or I guess what kinds of 76 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: skills has he shown that maybe would allow them to 77 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: work inside as well? H Yeah, I mean we'll see. 78 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't rule anything in or out for anybody. Um, 79 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, we'll do whatever thing's best for the team. 80 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: But it's hard to take rookie players and you know, 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: work at him in a whole bunch of different positions. 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: It's it's hard enough to get good at one position 83 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: and you start playing you know strange at center, both 84 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: guards and tackle and Thornton that you know, two or 85 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: three receiver spots and you know, dbs play them all 86 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, I don't personally think that's 87 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: a great way to develop fundamentals. Um, you know, until 88 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: the players shows the competence at one spot to be 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: able to do something else. I'm not saying he would 90 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: never do it, but I just don't think starting with 91 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: you know, I was playing two three different positions, plus 92 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: the kicking game, plus all the situational football that comes in, 93 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: you know, trying to trying to get him to do 94 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, a thousand different things. He hasn't even played 95 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: an NFL game yet. That's it's not really the process 96 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: that I would want to put the player into, you know, 97 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: unless there was some special circumstance for it. Yeah, thanks Bill. 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Next question Nicko Merlan, followed by Zach Cox. Hey, Bill, 99 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: you mentioned previously that you and Cam would be tracking 100 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: how the construction around the stadium would be changing environmental factors, 101 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: especially the kicking game. Having had some practices in the 102 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: stadium in a full game last night, what have you 103 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: seen as changed playing inside the stadium with the construction 104 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: changing some elements of it. Yeah, I think the win 105 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 1: patterns will be different and definitely are different. Um, certainly 106 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: didn't see him last night. There was you know, no win. 107 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: That's as still as it's going to be in that 108 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: stadium and probably the calmest day that we've had in 109 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: any practice so far in training camp. So we don't 110 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: really learn much last night. But yeah, we're going to 111 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: kicking the stadium on a regular basis when it's available, 112 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: and that's um, you know, we learn more about it 113 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: every day. So maybe maybe we'll get more women in 114 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: the Carolina game. If we do, we do. If we don't, 115 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: we don't. We can't control that. But you know, we 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: don't really have any last night. Thanks Bill, Welcome the 117 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: next question, Zach Coxwell about Andrew Kellyan Morning, Billy, Zach. 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: Talking to Miles after the game last night, he noted 119 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: that that was the first time he'd returned to punt 120 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: in a game since twenty fifteen, since he was back 121 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: in high school. Just curious what led you to give 122 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: him a shot in that role. I know it's something 123 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: he's been doing now for a couple months, going back 124 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: to OTAs. Yeah, well, I mean gonna returned punts for 125 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: the last three years, so um, you know, he took 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of reps and a lot of snaps back there. 127 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: But um, you know Myles is as you said, been 128 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: doing it during the spring the summer, UM, showing a 129 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: good good ability to try and catch the ball. You know, 130 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: we know Myles has good quickness and you know he's 131 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: a good decision maker, which is a lot in that position. 132 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, made a couple of nice plays 133 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: in US last night, so that was you know, he's 134 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: he's worked hard for that opportunity, um, earned it and 135 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: then and then did something with it. So you know, 136 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: all really encouraging things. But I mean that's kind of 137 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: typical Miles. That's kind of the way he is. The 138 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: kid he is. He's he's a very diligent, hard working 139 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: kid that you know, it always gives you his best effort. 140 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: It's a smart, instinctive football player, and and a lot 141 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: of different roles. He's had a lot of different roles 142 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: for US defensively, um and again growing into those you know, 143 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the fallen back on the thorning question. You know, it 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: wasn't like he did all that, you know, two weeks 145 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: into training camp. But you know he's evolved in a 146 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: very versatile player for US on defense and in the 147 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: kicking game. And you know it took advantage of an 148 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: opportunity last night, and that's you know, something that all 149 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: young players can. Um. You know, we'll point it out, 150 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: but I mean it's obvious you get an opportunity to 151 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: do something and you take advantage of it. Great, thank you. Yeah, 152 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: you're welcome. Zack. It looks like the last question but 153 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: Andrew killing him. Good morning, Bill. Um. We talked with 154 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: Cole last night and he had said an emphasis for 155 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: him has been not hesitating as he gets into his 156 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: block sometimes something he did in college. Did you see 157 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: any of that from Cole last night and the two 158 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: drives that he played, Yeah, I mean yeah, Cole. Look, 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: Cole does some you know, like like a lot of 160 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: the our young players last night. You know, Cole did 161 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot of good things. You say that about several 162 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: of our our rookies. Um, there's certainly things he can 163 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: improve on, things he can recognize the next time he 164 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: sees him, I'm sure he'll do him better. So that's 165 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's good things, and then there's there are 166 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: certainly you know, coaching points and and kind of you know, 167 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: little things and technique things that that the Giants did 168 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: that our defense doesn't do or we haven't seen from 169 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: our defense that um, that we can all learn from. 170 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: So that's that's the good thing about these games is 171 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: getting those players experience to see things that that we 172 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: don't do, we haven't seen before, and um, see him 173 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: at game speed, and hopefully the next time we'll be 174 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: able to you know, execute some of those things better. 175 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, overall, he's you know, he's coming 176 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: along and making good progress, and I'm sure he'll that 177 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: was a good experience for him last night, like it 178 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: was for all our rookies. Hopefully they can build on 179 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: it going forward. And then, um, correctly if I'm wrong, 180 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I could remember game preseason, a regular season which you 181 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: guys never ran a snap of play action? Was that 182 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: just to you know, a choice is to play vanilla 183 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: in the preseason kind of keep it simple with what 184 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: you're doing here, and you're obviously preseason debut. Yeah, well, 185 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: with what the Giants were doing there was there was 186 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons for some of the things that 187 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: we did just to try to manage the game. So 188 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: just leave it at that, thanks Bill. Yeah, and one 189 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: last question, Sorry Phil Perry, Sorry Bill, Just um sort 190 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: of on the topic of guys showing a little bit 191 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: of versatility in the kicking game. I don't think Trey 192 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: Nixon did a lot of that in college, but it 193 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: looked like he was in on a few different units 194 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: last night. So I just wanted to hear from you 195 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: as to how you feel he's coming along in that 196 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: face of the game. Yeah, same thing, Same thing we 197 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: talked about with Miles. Hard working kid, tough kid looking 198 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: for an opportunity, has worked hard, got an opportunity. You know, 199 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: this is the time to take advantage of those opportunities, 200 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: whether it's in the return game as it was for 201 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: Trey and Miles, or whether it's in you know, other 202 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: phases of the kicking game as a coverage player UM 203 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: or blocker on the return team. UM. So you know 204 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: some some you can one returner. So sometimes those players 205 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: work in both spots they return, they also play you 206 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: know up in the up in the return part of 207 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: the formation and the vice or you know, whatever it is. 208 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: So you know, guys that that show the aptitude in 209 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: practice to be competitive in those situations or in the 210 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to play in the game and show what they 211 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: can do. So sure it would certainly fall into that category. 212 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Nobody works harder and he does. He's he's one of 213 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: the hardest working players on the team. Thanks LL, Thank 214 00:11:59,040 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: your coach.
