How 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: important was it for you to be able to come 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: back and be a part of Coach dable staff? You know, 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: first things first, You know, this organization has been really 30 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: good to me and my family. Uh, I'm a giant 31 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: for life. Uh, it's it's been. It's been great to me, 32 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: and I couldn't wait for the opportunity. You know, I 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: interviewed other places, but I couldn't wait for the opportunity 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: to come back and try and build something, specially here 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: with coach. Did you have a relationship with Coach Dabele 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: prior to this? You know I did. Uh. You know, 37 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: it was one of those deals where after I talked 38 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: to him on the phone, I felt really comfortable with him. Uh, 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: he felt comfortable with me, and uh, I wanted to 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: come back. So that's that's kind of how it happened. 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Your track record is a special teams coordinator is top shelf. 42 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: You get rave reviews around the league wherever you've been, 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: You've been a part of a Super Bowl championship. Here 44 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: one of those Lombardi trophies has your name on it 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: in that lobby. Can you talk a little bit about 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: sort of the fabric of this organization and that culture 47 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: that coach Table and Joe Shane wants to re establish, 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 1: because you know what it looks like. Yeah, I mean 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: it's it's a charter franchise. You're talking about nineteen and Uh, 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: this franchise has been here for a long time and 51 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: it's had a lot of success, and uh, you have 52 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: a lot of pride when you walk in that lobby 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: and you see those trophies and just to know that 54 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: your name is on one of them, you really understand 55 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: what it takes, the commitment, the pride that the city 56 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: takes in the organization, and it's it's exciting to be 57 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: a part of it. Uh. It's one of those things 58 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: where you know every morning when you get up. You know, 59 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: it's not h I got to it's I get it too. 60 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: And everybody didn't have that opportunity when they get up 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: and go to work. To be a part of something 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: special in this place is special. Uh, it's it's been 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: special for me and my family, and I just I'm 64 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: super excited about being able to come back and continue 65 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: to try and help this football team get back to 66 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: the heights that has been to before. Long time sportswriter 67 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: Rick Goslin who's been covering the NFL for half a century, 68 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: he does his Special Teams rankings at the end of 69 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: each year, and despite the fact that two thousand twenty 70 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: one did not go the way Giants fans would have hoped, 71 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: special team's got a good ranking from Goose. I think 72 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: you guys were ranked six. What are some of the 73 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: areas though, that you want to improve upon with the 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: special teams? Uh? Probably the most pressing thing is always 75 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: net punt Uh. You know, we we want to always 76 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: be in the top ten when it comes to net 77 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: punt because it affects your field position, and also we 78 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: want to be more explosive in our return game, and 79 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: I think that's something that will go push towards for 80 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: in this offseason, we gotta make sure that first of all, 81 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: we addressed those issues with the net punt, and that's 82 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: a that's a holistic thing, and that's just not the punter, 83 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: that's the personnel, that's the gunners, that's the interior players. 84 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: Addressed that, and then we also want to make sure 85 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: again that that return game is explosive. One of the 86 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: luxuries that you've had is Graham Gannal and with the 87 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: way he has kicked the ball the last couple of years. 88 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: What makes him so good and that operation so good, 89 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: you know Graham is he's experienced. He's a season vet. Uh. 90 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: He struggled early in his career. When I say struggled 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: like he had some some low kicks that were blocked. 92 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: But he started to figure out, you know, the by 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: the time I ran across Graham again, uh, and two 94 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: thousand sixteen with the Panthers, he was just really hitting 95 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: his stride. The year before, I want to say, he 96 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: had like four or five game winners they when they 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: went on their Super Bowl run. So he was just 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: starting to hit his stride. And what makes him special 99 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: is his consistency and his work ethic Uh, every day 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: he comes out, and he's always working to get himself 101 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: better on and off the field, Like he's constantly stretching 102 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: and finding new ways to where he can help recover 103 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: and preserve his body. Uh and too so he can 104 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: be at at his at his best on game day. 105 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: So Graham is very very special the operation. You know, 106 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: with Riley and Casey, they've done a great job. You know, 107 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't do it by himself, but Riley is an 108 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: excellent holder and cases as a heck of a snapper, 109 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: So that battery is is has been pretty good for 110 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: us over the last couple of years. You know, you 111 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: have a very interesting job because there's an offensive coordinator, 112 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: there's a defensive coordinator. You're the special teams coordinator, which 113 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: means you have to speak to players on both sides 114 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: of the aisle, so to speak. You've got to deal 115 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: with offensive guys at all the different positions, defensive guys 116 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: at all the different positions. And then when there's injuries 117 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: and the roster gets shuffled, you got to try to 118 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: figure out how we're gonna handle this. What are some 119 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: of the things that are most important in dealing with 120 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: that on a weekly basis just being able to make adjustments. Uh. 121 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: You know, it's just relationships for me, Like I try 122 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: and create uh individual relationships with every guy in the 123 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: room and and understand what makes them tick. And knowing that, 124 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: you know, we were addressed at the beginning of the 125 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: year with the rookies, like guys, you guys are practice 126 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: squad guys. Uh, when they move you up, you're not 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna replace Daniel Jones or you're not going to replace 128 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley. You're gonna cover a kick. So just 129 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: understand that's part of it. So embrace it, understand what 130 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: it is, and when it happens to you, just know 131 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna do. You know, they're not bringing 132 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: you up to start. You're gonna be a replacement, uh 133 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: for the guy who's bumping up, and you have to 134 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: play on the team. So they get it and they 135 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: understand it, and and it's a and it's a mentality 136 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: like they understand and you young guys that are called up, 137 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: you gotta make it happen. And then when guys are 138 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: shuffled during the course of the week. I tell the 139 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: media all the time, you know, when I speak to 140 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: the guys out there. I make gumbo every week, like 141 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: me and Bliv and you know what, that's what we're 142 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna do. We make the gumbo. It might be chicken gumbo, 143 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: it might be shrimp gumbo. It might just be soup 144 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: for that week. But it gotta taste good, you know 145 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. So that that part of it, that's 146 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: I take pride in that part, being able to make 147 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: the adjustments on the fly and uh and be able 148 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: to succeed and make things work and help us win games. 149 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: How important is it to to have some of your 150 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: frontline guys as leaders with special teams, you know, if 151 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: you think about this organization. Lawrence Taylor was on special 152 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: teams for a long time. My broadcast partner, Carl Banks, 153 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: he was on special teams his whole career. We saw 154 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: what JPP did, especially early in his career. To have 155 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: those guys by in you know, it's it's really it's essential, 156 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, because the young guys, especially these young guys 157 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: coming out of college now, it's it's such a different game. 158 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: Most of these guys play no special teams in college, 159 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: depending on what conference they come from. UH, So they 160 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: have to understand, like you don't get the pick and 161 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: choose what part of the job you like to do. 162 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta do it all and and enjoy it. 163 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: And that's the whole. That's how you become a great team. 164 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: That's how you become a dominant team because it's everybody, 165 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: regardless of your quote unquote role, You understand what I 166 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: have to do to make this team go, and it's 167 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: it's all hands on deck, like we need everybody to 168 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: be great, not somebody. We need everybody. You mentioned earlier 169 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: about improving the return game as far as explosive plays, 170 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: whether it's punt return, kickoff return, it goes beyond speed. 171 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't just put track guys back there. 172 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: What makes a good returner in the National Football League? 173 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: First things first, obviously you've gotta have really good hands 174 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: and uh, and you have to make really good decisions, 175 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: you know. Obviously, the the thing you want first and 176 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: foremost a speed, Right, a guy that has really good vision, 177 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: he can make his cuts at full speed, and he's 178 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: tough and he's a selfless person. You know. So a 179 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: lot of times when you're back there as a kickoff returner, uh, 180 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna be some times where it's gonna be clogged up, 181 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: and you gotta run through the smoke, you know, and 182 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: and you gotta trust it. And a good returner has 183 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: to be fearless. He has he has to be. He 184 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: has to trust to the guys in front of them 185 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: are gonna do their job. And uh, you know, and 186 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: he's got to be a team guy ultimately, because you know, 187 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: that's a team play. We're creating field position for for 188 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: our offense. And they will always tell the guys it's 189 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: the first play of offense is kickoff return or pump return. 190 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: And the most important thing is we got to understand 191 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: is that we're getting the ball back. So we always 192 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: gotta make good decisions. As you got going in your career. 193 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: Who helped form Thomas mcgae he to get to this spot, 194 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: uh Man as a coach. As a coach, I had 195 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: some really good high school coaches, uh Coach Damiel, coach Quillen, 196 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: my two high school football coaches, and the coach Springer 197 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: who was my position coach, Jeff Springer. And then uh, 198 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: I had a high school basketball coach that who was 199 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: really instrumental, Nate Gordon. Uh. He pushed me uh big time. 200 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: He pushed me when I was a high school basketball 201 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: playing playing for him as a person, you know, just 202 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: understanding what it takes to be a winner. And uh, 203 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: and when I got to college that the guy that 204 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: probably had the biggest influence on me was Frank Ganz Jr. 205 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: And actually Frank gans senior. Uh. His dad was one 206 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: of the guys with who helped invent those Goslin rankings 207 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. His dad was the head coach 208 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs and he was actually the 209 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: first person, the first special team's coach to ever move 210 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: from special teams coach to head coach. So his son 211 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: was my big influence in college. And uh, he's really 212 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: the reason as far as coaching is concern, is probably 213 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: why I'm in the National Football League today. And then 214 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: as your coaching journey continued over the years, who were 215 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: guys that you really like to pick their brain? Oh? Man, Uh, 216 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: you know Keith Armstrong, who was especially teams coordinator at 217 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: Tampa is a long time mentor mind as far as 218 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: best teams coaches are concerned. Joe D. Camillis, who was here, 219 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: who who got it well, I actually didn't get started here, 220 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: but he was just his first best teams coordinator job 221 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: was here with the Giants. So those two guys have 222 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: been a big influence in my career. And uh, you 223 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: know as far as head coaches like Coach Coughlin was 224 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, it was huge in my development.

I mean, it's been a lot of 231 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: guys who who have influenced me over the years. And 232 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: I've been blessed to be a part of a lot 233 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: of good teams and work for a lot of good 234 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: coaches and good men.
