1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: H M, A little close. All right, but where do 2 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: you go back to that? But you know, zoom you know, 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: zoom in. I guess whatever. Alright, go ahead, you know 4 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: it looks good. You know he's been ready to play 5 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: all all year. Um, if in fact he does play 6 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,919 Speaker 1: this week, he will be he'll be ready to go. 7 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: You can't. It's been wont to lay off his head. 8 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: He's never really experienced the sort of thing in his career. 9 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: What are your expectations for him Monday night? Expect him 10 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: to go out and have a winning performance. That's what 11 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: I expect. When will you have to make that call? 12 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: When do you think him out that call? Well, at 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: this point, as I mentioned earlier, you know Daniel hasn't 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: been able to practice today. Um, if we had to 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: play tomorrow, we couldn't play. So as the week goes on, UM, 16 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: it'll be more and more evident that he's not going 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: to be ready to go. And so as we practice, 18 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 1: Elight takes all the reps and then we move on 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: and he found to shutting Damiel. Now, I mean we 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: we take everything week to week. Would you worry about 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: rushed in a guy, a thirty year old who hasn't 22 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: played a month. No, we're not gonna worry. We're gonna 23 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: go play and be aggressive about it, and you know, 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: give him the things that he can do well and 25 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: take it from there. You know, obviously better than a US. 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: So why is Russ not a concern for you to 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: leave with this guy? But why is Russ not a concern? 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do about him? Why worry about 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: things that you can't do anything about. I anticipate and 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: expect that he's going to be ready to play. Kind 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: of have some logistical questions. Why doesn't he come out 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: from the coin toss anymore or the first and warm out. 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: He that's just his choice, Just his choice. That's Steve Tiss. Yesterday, 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: I didn't hum provide a vote of confidence in you 35 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: or Dave gentleman when given the opportunity. What is your 36 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: reaction to that? I really have no reaction to that. 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: You know, I was made aware that he spoke yesterday, 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's disappointed with the results this season, 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: just like just like I am, and we are, and 40 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get this team ready to play and 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: win a game against Philler. Do you feel like you're 42 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: coaching for your job over the final four weeks. Do 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: you feel like that you need to show dramatic improvement 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: to be back here. I feel like I'm coaching from 45 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: my job every day. I mean, that's just that's the way. 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: That's the way we function as players. You're playing for 47 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: your job and you're coaching for your job every day, 48 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: and we understand this as a results business and the 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: ultimate result is winning games and along the way doing 50 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: the things necessary to win a game and then consistently win. 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: And then that's that's just the reality of it. What 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: was the reaction you told him that he was going 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: to be taking that first steps at practice today? You 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: probably he was. He was eager, let's go, that's it, 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: very eager. It's obviously he went through this when you 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: made the switch with Daniel has a different skill set 57 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: than Eli Manning. Um, is it much of a change. 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: If you have to call, you've called much of a 59 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: different game. If he lies back in there, no, I'll 60 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: be similar. You know, there'll be a player too different. 61 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: But you know again, Um, you know Eli has been 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: ready to go in case he had to play the 63 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: last ten weeks, and you know now he'll get himself 64 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: more ready to go. Have you been getting any of 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: the first team rapt occasional occasionally since you since you 66 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: took this job. And he's talked about appreciation from this 67 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: franchise on whatever mean is if you guys, he's on 68 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: Monday night. You tied the longest losing Street Can franchise history. 69 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: And then you always say you don't want to pay 70 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: that's the noise outside. But does that mean extra for you? 71 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: Does it put anything more on this game? Until void 72 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: having something like that. I don't think you're avoiding that 73 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: that type of stuff. What you're trying to do is 74 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: win the game on the positive side of things. So 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: I get that and all that kind of stuff adds up, 76 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: but we don't focus on that. We're trying to do 77 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: what we can win a game. And you've got no 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: chance to talk to Generous on that conversation. Yeah, I've 79 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: spoken to him. It's great. And what I speak to 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: the players about and I keep between the player myself. 81 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 1: How are ironic? Is it? The factor Jones has gotten 82 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: as a rookie and he's out there have to be 83 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: a let the game and the guy who he replaced 84 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: miss the game didn't miss snap an interesting I don't. 85 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't sense the irony there. No, does it make 86 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: you appreciate what? Do you like it? I think we 87 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: all should appreciate that. And that's part of what makes 88 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: Eli Eli who he is. And you know, being available, 89 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: you can see it on all teams at all positions. 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: Being available is huge and he was available and playing, 91 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: and that's that's important that the franchise can trust that 92 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna be out there before this, before this injury, 93 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: and you had all toyed with the idea of giving 94 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Eli one last start this season. No, we're just working 95 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: through the season. Game the game. But no, very often 96 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: into the situation like this, you're taking an older guy 97 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: out to put a young guy in to see that 98 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: it's got the fact that this is reversed, does it 99 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: make it? Um? Um? You know Eli has seen him 100 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: done everything, So does it a little different from from 101 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: your point of view having a coach that you don't 102 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: need to get him up to speed on things, he's 103 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: already up to speed. Well I think that, yeah, sure, 104 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: I mean in terms of getting up to speed, um 105 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: new for old, old for new, I think we're overthinking that. 106 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: You know, Daniel got hurt and Eli if he has 107 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: to play, we'll go in and do a good job. Well, 108 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: it's a very different dynamic put him. You know, a 109 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: lot of teams now were putting rookies in should try 110 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: to get the feet when versus putting up guy who's 111 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: played two hundred forty games. It's nothing, it's not It 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: doesn't happen a lot in this league anymore. I don't 113 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what to comment on there. You know, Dan, 114 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: if Daniel can't play, Eli is going to play, and 115 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: then we move on. If this is if this is 116 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: the end season, even if it's not eleven games, then starts. 117 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: How would he assess his kid and how he did 118 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: this year and where he can get over here. I 119 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: think he made tremendous progress, you know. I think he's 120 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: he's got a very very bright future, and you know, 121 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: I think that's something that we'll talk about when the 122 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: season is over. There's certainly things in areas that he 123 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: needs to improve, but he displayed an ability to stand 124 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: in there, tough, make good throws. He got us in 125 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: the end zone. You know. Unfortunately, we'll just as we 126 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: move along, and I think that's part of his development. 127 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Some of the mistakes he made. He'll clean up as 128 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: time goes up. Go back to Daniel when he's healthy. 129 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Matter at this point, yeah, when he comes back. Sure, 130 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: besides the turning over, his working, just the little things 131 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: of playing quarterback and that that some of that goes unseen. 132 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: He had the m R on Monday night. Is that 133 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: when you found out, uh, well, he was sore. He 134 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: became more sore after I visited with you, and I 135 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: guess it was noontime, right, and then he was further 136 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: evaluated through the afternoon and then into Tuesday. Okay, okay, 137 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: thank you. Good question.
