1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: For the season, and he spent this whole summer um 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: basically gearing up, taking sure you stayed in shape. So yeah, 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: I put a lot of hard work this off season, 4 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: not only myself, but not everyone here on the team, 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: and then from spring to camp um, and now he's 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: finally here. Uh. And you only get seventeen guaranteed opportunity, 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: so you gotta try to take advantage of every single one. 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: And you know, we had a great week of practice, 9 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: so he's gotta go out there trying. That's cute and 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: come on with it. Though you obviously don't play against 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, but is there some motivation too when you're 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: going against one of the best to have one of 13 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: your better games. Oh yeah, I mean, like you said, 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't technically go, you know, against Derrick Henry. Um. 15 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: At the end of that we were both playing two 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: complete defenses. But he's definitely one of the the guys where 17 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, you're on a sideline, you're gonna look up 18 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: at that that score board or look up at that 19 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: uh the you know, the score board to see what 20 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: he's able to do. Because how a special player he is. Um. 21 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: He's been very dominant for a very long time in 22 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: this league, and especially last year. You know how he 23 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: was able to leave the League of Russian for like 24 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: five weeks after he heard his foot. Um, that's pretty impressive. 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: And you know I've talked to him multiple times. Um, 26 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: you know when I've been injured, he reached out in 27 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: contact with me, games, some words and curage. Right. So 28 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him go out there and hopefully 29 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, he has a great year. But uh, this 30 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: game right here, he doesn't. He does. He's not Derrick Henry. 31 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: Yeah we know, Um, but we usually go out there 32 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: as cute both sides of all three phases of the 33 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: ball and come out with what. I don't know if 34 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: you saw Lamar Jackson set like a deadline today for 35 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: his contract to get done with the Ravens didn't get done. 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: Do you have a thought on negotiating in season, like 37 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge said to the Yankees, not negotiating in season 38 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: if the Giants came to you, You're off to fast start. 39 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Giants came to you wanting to negotiate what you or 40 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: you Ah, let's talk after the season. Got Um, that's 41 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: a great question. I really can't answer that question until 42 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: it comes here so we could play honest. But right now, 43 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the probably the way I would handle it, uh is 44 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: just focus on what I can focus on and let 45 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: my agent take care of all that. Um My agent camp, 46 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: I feel like I got want the best agent, if 47 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: not the best agent in the business. So I know 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: if I do what I got doing a football field 49 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and God keeps me healthy, um, she's gonna take care 50 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: to rest. Is there any video now that's looking forward 51 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: to not having to answer the hypotheticals of what you 52 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: want to show, what you hope to show. What people 53 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: are saying is that you can now you're playing games 54 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: now where you can put the performance right on the field. Yeah. 55 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm excited to go out there. And you know, like 56 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: I said, not only myself, all of us put a 57 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of hard work in this offseason from spreading to 58 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: camp to now. Um my mind sets to go out 59 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: there a week one and be sacking my Barkley and 60 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: whatever the team and whatever coach Days and Coach Kraff 61 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: need me to do. Go out there and execute, whether 62 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: it's catching the ball, what it's running, um pass pro, 63 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: whatever they need me to do. Um. My biggest thing 64 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: you know I want from this week, not only for 65 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: myself but for the team to is just continue to 66 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: fallow over the process. Um, don't get too over concerned 67 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: with the you know, with the results. Uh, no matter 68 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: if we go win by four, we lose by forty, 69 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: it's gonna be some type of over reaction throughout this week. 70 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: Whether I go for two yards or say if I 71 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: go for ten yards, um is going to be over reaction. Uh. 72 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna continue to have that mindset of 73 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: staying in a moment and taking day by day and 74 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: getting better. Say it's gonna be an over reaction. You're 75 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: coming coming off. I'm thinking about you personally that you're 76 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: coming off. Uh you know two years where you've been 77 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: injured and you haven't been able to put up the number. 78 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: So what is realistic for you? You know, I feel 79 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: like you know, whoever God presents from me that day, 80 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: every game, you know, it's a different opportunities of a 81 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: different challenge. Um. There's some games where you know it's 82 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: meant for you to go off into some games where 83 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: it's not. And you know, for me, my focus is 84 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: whatever I can do to help the team win. UM, 85 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: that's what realistic to me. Go out there and when 86 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: the plays that I need to have that need to 87 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: be made um from me to make those plays um 88 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: man wherever it is. Like I said, blocking, catching, running 89 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: in between, tackles, outside tackles, leadership on the sideline, whatever, 90 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: whatever I can do, those are the things I can 91 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: focus on. You know, those are things that within microtis control. 92 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: So that's what relistic to me is going out there 93 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: controling what I can control. And what I mean like 94 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: over reaction is you know, like not just saying you guys, 95 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: but like you know, you when the first game doesn't 96 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: guarantee you gonna win a super Bowl. If you lose, 97 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: the first game doesn't guarantee you gonna lose the Super Bowl. 98 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: So it's like just stay the falling logan process, coming 99 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: to work every single day. We had a great route 100 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: of great route of practice and he's gott continue build 101 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: off that I mentioned. Judge, do you know Aaron? I mean, 102 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: you're two of the biggest stars New York. Do you know, Judge? 103 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: And how much respect athlete for athlete, for a guy 104 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: who bet on himself and it's having an old world 105 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: caliber year. I mean, that's got to be the dream 106 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: for an athlete. Yeah. I mean I never I don't 107 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, I want to say we like best friends. Um, 108 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a couple of times.

You've been a little more out spoke 118 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: in this offseason for some of the naysayers or those 119 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: who doubted you. Are you able to turn that off 120 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: when the game start or do you still use that 121 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: every single time the balls in your hands. It's not 122 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be back day like oh man, Jordan 123 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: said this about me and I'm not.

UM. Just going out 131 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: there and you know, my main focus is getting back 132 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: to me controlling what I can control and when the 133 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: players are out there to be made, go out there 134 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: and make plays. Have about getting away from you over 135 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: the team overall. It's not a lot of outside expectations 136 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: for the Giants. Does that motivate you guys, bother you 137 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: guys at all? It is what it is, you know, 138 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: and we know we have in this locker room. We 139 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: know what we're having, uh with within this team, within 140 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: his coaches, with this, within the facility, UM from everybody. UM, 141 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: we know what we have.

Why should people think that, Okay, 148 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: this offense can be significantly better, Like in your mind, 149 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: like what what is it that you know, you guys 150 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: hold on to and say, you know, we're going to 151 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: be significantly better. We know. I think for us it 152 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: would be one where it would be from how we're 153 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: executing in practice. Um.
