1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't choice but to say that, Yeah, man, man, 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: he's a good guy. Man, Like, we've had to teach 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: him a lot. I don't know if you guys know 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,079 Speaker 1: U Grand Valley State, so um, not a lot of 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: football's played there. Um, but somehow this guy's made it 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: and we've taught him a lot. Um. But all jokes aside, 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: he's uh, he's brought good energy. I think I said 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: it in the spring maybe. Um, when you have a 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: guy that comes in here, obviously a high paid free 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: agent guy who's had a lot of success in the league, 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: and we get over to that hill, which you know 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 1: guy's coming from other teams, they're kind of wondering, like, 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: you know, where is Bill running? Like what like what 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: are we about to do? And you know, we all 15 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: had kind of finally got here in minicamp, and this 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: guy's running with the skill, but not just running in 17 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: like ten yards behind, because I've seen guys do that 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: and in my meeting it's cool, but like you can 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: run on the other side and lose by ten fifteen yards, 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: but he's like actually compete and talking trash. I think 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: that set the tone for the rest of the team 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: because I'm sure he could tell. You know, you get 23 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: to a new team, it's like, you know, how's this 24 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: going to work out. He's kind of come in and 25 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: just been himself, and I think that's been the best 26 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: part of it. Obviously off the field stuff is important, 27 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: but you guys have seen it through the first three 28 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: preseason games what he's done on the field and how 29 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna make a huge impact on the defense, you know, 30 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: pass rushing, but also his ability to play multiple things 31 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: in our defense, him kV. High bent. I think having 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: that group and they've been able to go be in 33 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: there together do different things, gives us a lot of versatility. 34 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: If I was playing quarterback, I wouldn't know, you know, 35 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: is he an end. He's the outside linebacker as he 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: blistened through the A gap. So I think that makes 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: us a better football team. And we just continue to 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: build on those things. You know, doing in a preseason 39 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: as great as we're building. But now when it gets real, 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: it's it's real, bullets. It's not just a quarter or 41 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: a half, it's sixty minutes of football. Is conditioning, it's 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: mental condition it's all of those things factoring into one um. 43 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: And I'm excited to take the field with this team, 44 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: and to start this journey you can you're saying you 45 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: can't weak because of the way last year ended. And 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: then you bring them, like you said on ething players 47 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: and the rookies and everybody seems to be mixing and 48 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: it's a little bit different than obviously even last year. 49 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: What is the anticipation for the start of the season. Yeah, 50 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: and I think anytime, you know, you finished the season 51 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: how we finished the season last year, and I'm sure 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: the Giants felt the same way, you know, knowing Joe 53 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Judge and how he is and his makeup of you know, 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: going down to the end of the season. This season 55 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: just not ending the way you want. UM. I think 56 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: we saw that in these last couple of practice with them, 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: just the excitement and the energy from both teams. Let's 58 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: see where we measure up, like, let's see how we are, um. 59 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: And then to get a chance to come out here 60 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: and compete for the last game. UM. You know you're 61 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: putting all that work in for the opportunity to go 62 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: out there to play Week one and beyond UM. And 63 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I think that's our focus. You know, obviously Week one 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: is big in this league because it's the build up 65 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: a scientistic patient. But it's also the realization that we're 66 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: not just preparing for Week one. Like everything we're doing, 67 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: it's a play of season and then try to have 68 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: a successful season. So, UM, I think anytime you take 69 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: a team like we had last year, we all spoke 70 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: about at the end of the year things we're going 71 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: to be different, and they've been different. We had new 72 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: players in here, and we just got to continue to build. 73 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: You know. I like what we have. UM. I think 74 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: we have enough dush right here in the locker room, 75 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: but we just got to go out there and keep competing. UM. 76 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 1: Not worry about, especially this time of year, worry about 77 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: what's going on outside our building. No worry about you 78 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: know who has opinions on this and that, and just 79 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: come in and listen to our coaching staff, believe in 80 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: the organization, and just coming and compete. Kevin, we're back 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: in New Jersey and you're rupping a fellow Rutgers alum 82 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: in your jersey tonight. Can you tell us about about 83 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: the jersey you're wearing and what means you just have 84 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: to wear it in your relationship with Carly. Yeah, I 85 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: never got the chance to know Carly Lloyd. But I 86 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: think the cool thing about being at Rutgers was, you know, 87 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: we didn't have we didn't have many successful season prior 88 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: to a lot of people being there, and I think 89 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: each individual who had great success stuck out. And you 90 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: look at Carly Lloyd, a Jersey girl who's gone and 91 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: compete at the highest level but also been the standard 92 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: at that level. It's been a captain, Olympian, you know, 93 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: World Cup Championships, all of those things. So I know 94 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: I watched her a lot, and you know, not knowing 95 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: a lot about soccer, but just watching because I'm like, man, 96 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: Carly Lloyd went to Rutgers, so you know, her announcing that, 97 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: you know she's gonna retire after a couple more friendlies. 98 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: It was a great time to come back to New 99 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Jersey and represent the Rutgers living legends. So you always 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: hear people say give people their flowers while they're still here. 101 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: So I know, I've learned a lot from just watching 102 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: her compete and doing that at the highest level, you know, 103 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: year in and year out.
