1 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he can sling it. I think you go back 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: and watch just the accuracy down the field. Throwing the 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: ball down the field puts in places receivers can catch it. 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: We don't have to do a good job making sure 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: we defend deep part of the field because I think 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: he's gonna take his chances throwing it, launching it. But 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: he's got a really strong arm, good accuracy, and I 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: would say specifically on the deep ball. 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to make excuses, obviously, but with a lot 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: of boom coverages last week, is that guy's still trying 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: to learn each other and what. 12 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 3: They're trying to do. I mean, yeah, guys practice squads and. 13 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it was more our execution. 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: I think we got to be better executing and can't 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: like guys free and got to make sure we're deep 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: and we need to be deep and and on on 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: the right guys at the right time. So just to 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: execute well enough and some of those situations. 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: Going back to. 20 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 4: Pennistable and told us yesterday that he was studying some 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 4: of the little film from Washington. Do you kind of 22 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 4: have to do that because only throwing so many, so 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 4: few passes in his career so far. 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean you got the preseason game Miami. 25 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: You got a little bit he had. I don't even 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: know how many passes against them are there late in 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: the game, and that's really what you got to go off, right, 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: So go back watch Washington, try to get a feel 29 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: for him, see his strengths. Hopefully you can find some weaknesses, 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: which is hard to do. I mean, eighth overall draft pick. 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: So you got to go back and try to study 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: the player that way, and that's where the biggest body 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: of work is. 34 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 4: Does the left handed quarterback present any special issues? 35 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: Uh No, not not really to us. I mean, other 36 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: than matching the hand and making sure when we're free 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: or we're able to get some pressure, just kind of 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: switch hands in terms of which one is going up 39 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: to see if we can create some bad ball opportunities 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: there and then whatever they have. If there's some mobility stuff, 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: that's always something we look at. Right hand quarterback, left 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: hand quarterback. On some of those movement pocket type passes, 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: it's something we evaluate college. 44 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: He wasn't afraid to run. 45 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 3: Is that part of the. 46 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Scenario too, Yeah, I mean I don't think he's like Lamar, 47 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: right I don't think they're gonna be doing all that 48 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: with him, but he can he can run. I mean, 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: if there's space, he's gonna take off. He's gonna be 50 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: able to gain some yards. So got to do a 51 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: good job. Can't get him big big rush lanes down 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: in the middle for him to take and make it 53 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: inviting for him because there is there's obviously a little 54 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: bit more mobility than what they had there previously. So 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: something we got to be good, be coordinated, make sure 56 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: we're on the same page, and not give him any 57 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: inviting scenes. 58 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: A big picture. 59 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 2: You've had a lot this year, right, the run defense, 60 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: I'm sure something that bothered you. I don't know if 61 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 2: throughout the year, guys in and out, how big a 62 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: challenge has a bit to keep everybody engaged, to keep 63 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: everybody any sort of in mind, maybe in comparison to 64 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: what you dealt with the past few years. 65 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the guys have been good. I do. 66 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: I think they come in every day, they're attentive in meetings, 67 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: they come out and walk through and go through. I 68 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: think part of that when you have some of the 69 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: moving parts, there is a heightened focus. Right, You've got 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: some new new blood in there, so to speak, and 71 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: the communication everything's got to kind of increase a little bit. 72 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: So there's got to be. 73 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: A heightened level of focus when when there are from 74 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: you from their perspective, right, and again it's it's the NFL, 75 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: like and I know it sounded like a broken record 76 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: saying it, but like we when I was in Tennessee, 77 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: we kind of had the same things in terms of 78 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: injuries and some of that stuff where you're kind of 79 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: working through that's as you go. 80 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: That's why I was kind. 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Of curious, like how I've kind of related to especially 82 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: that last year you had. 83 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, And I think it's just something you got 84 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: to you gotta have a plan for, like having new 85 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: guys in being able to play. I mean last week, 86 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if we went to a game with 87 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: one corner that was here in training camp, Like we 88 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: signed a dory post training camp, right, So, I mean there's. 89 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: A lot of a lot of reps that are missed 90 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: that guys are kind of learning and fly. 91 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: And I mean you rely on your veterans, you rely 92 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: on the leadership, you rely on their teammates to help 93 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: that as well, especially in terms of fitting into the culture. 94 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: And and what that is the expectation level. But it's 95 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: just something you got worked through. You've got to have 96 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: a plan for I think our coaching stuff does a 97 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: great job. I think Roman those guys do a good 98 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: job trying to prepare them, Dre, trying to prepare them 99 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: to get ready to go, and hopefully we can we 100 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: can execute a little bit higher level what we did 101 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: last week the cornerbacks. 102 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: How beneficial do you think it would have been to 103 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: have a veteran cornerback. 104 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: From you know, like in the summer, and you think 105 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 3: that was something that maybe retrospective I mean not. 106 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean nobody can really predict the injury aspect that, 107 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, so and in that regard, 108 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: I would say no, like just not knowing. And again, 109 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad we got a Dori. Like Godri's played well 110 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: for us, and I think Doria's had a good year 111 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: for us and he he has, He's been a good 112 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: presence for us in that room too, So I think 113 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: that's been a really good ad for us. 114 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 3: Using a whole new defensive line. 115 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: Anybody in that group that's really been sticking out to you. 116 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 3: In the last couple of weeks. 117 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Chad's done a really good job, I mean, 118 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: increasing his his workload on early downs. I mean there's 119 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: some there's some teach tape clips of him in the 120 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: wrong game fundamentally getting off the ball striking where he's 121 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: done a really good job being disruptive for us. I 122 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: think Garcia's showing up, like his length is showing up. 123 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: He made a play on Derek down in the red 124 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: zone last week where he's able to get off the 125 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: block and tackle Derek. Really, all those I mean, all 126 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: those guys have stepped up. I think Jordan's improved right 127 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: from the time he had a little bit earlier in 128 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: the year now and getting more reps and more practice. 129 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: I think as a group, that unit has done a 130 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: good job of taking advantage of our opportunities. 131 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: For the most part. 132 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: Is one of the storylines for this game outside is 133 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: that the Giants trying to avoid what would be their 134 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: franchise long losing streak. 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: Is that something that you can use. 136 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: To players as a rallying cry, as a source of pride, Hey, 137 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: we don't want to be that team or is that 138 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: something you don't want to even bring up with them? 139 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we need to win. 140 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Bottom line, like find whatever we got to do to 141 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: win a game, regardless of circumstances. Like every week, let's 142 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: let's do everything we can to prepare and be ready 143 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: to go and and come Sunday, we got to execute 144 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: and find a way to win a game. So let's 145 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: make sure we're focused on the day. Whatever we can 146 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: do today that can contribute to us winning on Sunday, 147 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: and do the same thing tomorrow and go that route. 148 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: That's that's the message is let's take advantage every minute 149 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: we can right now to prepare and put our best 150 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: foot forward to come Sunday. 151 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 4: It's more with Burns obviously, that's the way he's been 152 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: playing to last this whole year. Just how much does 153 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: he impressed in this first season just not being not 154 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 4: just being a great player, but also a leader with 155 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 4: this young group of so many guys heard just see 156 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 4: how much he continues to go hard every game. Is 157 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: that kind of a good lesson for them? 158 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: A little bit? Absolutely? I do. 159 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: I think he's uh, you know, I wouldn't say he's 160 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: he's our most vocal leader by any means, but I 161 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: think he's really good at kind of grabbing guys. One 162 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: on one and being in guy's ears one on one 163 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: and addressing things that way. And we're young, like we're young, 164 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: and any veteran presence you can have when you're a 165 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: young defense is helpful, right, whether it's OLB to DBL, 166 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: be the inside backer, OLB the D line, I think 167 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: it's helpful. And the thing about to say about him, 168 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: like he's been dealing with stuff throughout the year, and 169 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: he goes out there and plays right like you know, 170 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: there's Wednesdays and Thursdays, we're not so sure.
