1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Probably get to play the Eagles. I do, Yeah, I 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: get to play him, um, because when we played well 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: defensively last game, so we could pick up where we 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: left off there. The guys played great that that day defensively, 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: and uh, when I try to, you know, reciprocate that, obviously, 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: we're just gonna say, for one a minute ago, when 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: I just asked him about that New Orleans game, it 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: just seemed like he was back to the dynamics se 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Kwan that that everybody saw before all the injuries started 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: hitting him. What do you remember of that and what 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: did you think? You did you think that was kind 12 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: of a takeoff point for him. Obviously he gets you know, 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: gets the ankle after that. But I don't know if 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: it's a point to reflect right now. As kwans to me, 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: he's a dynamic player when he has the ball in 16 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: his hands, He's he makes moves a lot of guys 17 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: in the league hand make. He's very elusive, tough tackle. 18 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 1: He's does acrobatic things with the with the ball. So 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: I just think that was a glimpse of it when 20 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: when I was clicking for him and our team, and uh, 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's still there for sure, I 22 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: see it in practice. We had fun today competing, so, UM, 23 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: I see it, and I think it's the thing. It's there. 24 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Pat Graham was saying today that he was joking that, 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: you know, he hates holidays during the season because it's 26 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: a work day. Um, what's it like having a guy 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: running a defense who just doesn't know how to turn 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: it off? Really? Yeah, Pat is Pat is very extreme 29 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: in that sense. Uh, a little grinch when it comes 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: to those things. But it is the truth. I mean 31 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: that's Pat. He works and works and works, and that's 32 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: what he's known for and it's worked out well for him. 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: But I know his wife Pam. He's got a beautiful 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: family and have more of a family dynamic, and he's 35 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: a great father than that he may let on, but 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: I want to see what Pam has to say about that, 37 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: So you gotta get his wife question on that. But 38 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Pat gives it off an organization and he's a great 39 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: family man too. You really you're the Union rep. Has 40 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: this past couple of weeks been crazier with the up 41 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: chicken uh COVID people talking the league talking about canceling 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: games and things like that. Yeah, absolutely, it's been. It's 43 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: been chaos. Everybody has had a you know, last game, 44 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: we had a playing a game with Alec Bachman at dB. 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: So everybody's going through it. And know the Eagles are 46 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: right now with their head coach. It's just it's it's 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: crazy times. As a father, as a as a person 48 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: in society, and as a football player. You don't know, 49 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: day in and day out, there's fear, there's stress that 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: we're kind of just you know, playing a game through 51 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: we're dealing with and uh, as a union rep, there's 52 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: a lot that I have to continue to learn and 53 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: conversate about. There's a call tonight to to get um 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: an idea these new protocols and what's best for the 55 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: players in health and safety. Honestly so, but the protocols 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: are ever changing. They changing every two days. So I 57 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: gotta constantly keep up to date on those and figure 58 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: out what's best for our players and represent our vote 59 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: the right way when I have a chance to vote. 60 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: But it is, it is times, it's very confusing for everybody. Well, 61 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: you concerning the league started talking about canceling games and 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: because I guess you guys don't get paid if they 63 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: cancel the game by rules, what they say, but it's 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: also you worry about not testing that everyone's going to 65 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: have it and not know about it. So I don't know. 66 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like you're choosing between health and 67 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: safety are getting paid, and those are those are tough, 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: tough choices for anyone to make. But I want to 69 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: sacrifice my health to get paid or do I want 70 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: to go get paid and sacrifice my health and maybe 71 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: the health of others and maybe the health of family 72 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: members and older people and my grandparents and those. So 73 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a serious conversation and not 74 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: just like, hey, if we don't play, we don't get paid. 75 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: Why is that? Maybe we can vote to change that. 76 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: So there's a lot to talk about there. It's a 77 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: whole other press conference. But I'm just trying to do 78 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: my due diligence and being keep up today on the facts. 79 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: I could be more educated before speaking on it. Jovis 80 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: talked about how he lives, Okay, the way you guys work, 81 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: and but you guys your account. You know, everyone's kind 82 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: of been brought in. What is it about this group 83 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: or his program that you think everyone has kind of 84 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: stayed engaged and brought into it it's going on. I 85 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: think I think he identified players with good character and 86 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: players I like football regardless of the result. If you 87 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: like your craft, you're gonna go out there and try 88 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to work at it. And there's only one way to 89 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: play the game. I mean, there's only one way, just 90 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: to give it your all, give it your best. It's 91 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: just hard to really make business decisions and check out. 92 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: I just don't think that's good for your own health. 93 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: You put other people at risk. You're wasting a lot 94 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: of people's times, a lot of people behind the scenes 95 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: and do a lot of work for us to get 96 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: us prepared to play, and we honor a lot of 97 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: people we go out there to play. So I think 98 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: just Joe understands, coming from where the coaches he's worked 99 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: under and what he's learning his philosophies, that there is 100 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: only one expectation when it comes to preparation, and if not, 101 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: I don't think you'll be fit for the team. So 102 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I just think he fits the team with guys like 103 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: that to prepare their best and practice their best, regardless 104 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: of the record or circumstances. I know you guys don't 105 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: like to think of spoilers being a spoiler, but you 106 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: know this, you're facing a team that lasts you're around 107 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: around this time, knocked you guys out of the playoffs. Yeah, 108 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, did you take any of that into this 109 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: game with a chance to sort of dampen their chances? Um, 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to beat the Egles. I think the 111 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: Giants and Eagles is enough there to to get everyone 112 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: rode up to play. It's just, um, it's a great rivalry. 113 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: The robbery I grew up watching, and there's ANIMALSSI there 114 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and they there's a lot to play for because the 115 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: football game, and honestly, there's just passion, there's energy. They 116 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: have a passionate fan base. We do as well, So 117 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot to represent over this game. And that's 118 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: enough there. You know, last year, whether they were competing 119 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: or not, I know we're gonna go out there and 120 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: compete and try to win the game. I'm sure they 121 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: will too. Obviously it's some portant game for them, but 122 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: it's some porant game for us to look at the 123 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: standing as a playoff picture of the Giants technically aren't eliminated. 124 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: Is that even something gets talked that's been talked about 125 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: this week in the building with players or anything. I know, 126 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: I saw my elimination, but everyone's been talking about one 127 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: game at a time the last last couple of weeks. 128 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: It's just how you got to approach it. Like I said, 129 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: there's one way to play this game. And it's not 130 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: like I don't know. I don't want to compare each 131 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: other sports or whatnot, but this is something where truly 132 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: you don't know your last snap, you don't know your 133 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: last play. Look at a guy like Shepherd who's busses 134 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: but all year and came back and had a great 135 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 1: training camp, with great offseason, has been great when he's playing, 136 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: and you know, don't get out of your stance the 137 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: last time of the year, so you can't take any 138 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: snap for granted. I know when I was at home 139 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: with COVID, I was dying to be out there with 140 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: my guys. Uh. I hated missing the game and just 141 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: don't like it. And I'll be looking forward to, you know, 142 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: giving my best effort this game and helping our team win.
