1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: All the change and maybe yeah, changing money. Yeah, it's uh,

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: I haven't been spied obviously before. I know, I'm a

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: get away for a little bit. Give my mind, right, um,

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: and just see kind of how things play out. I'm

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: excited for this. I'm excited for this team that you know,

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: all that we did this year. Um, but yeah, going forward,

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: I mean just kind of just just the waiting game.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to test free agency and see kind

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: of what other teams value at or are you interested

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: in coming back before you even get there? Uh, if

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: everything shakes out right, you know, I hope it wasn't

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: get that far, but you know, you never know. Um,

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: you gotta do it's best for me. At the end

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: of the day. It's been a it's been a great

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: four years here, you know, just uh recapping it, Um,

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: we've built I can now say that we're in a

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: better position than I was when I got here, which

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: I think is always my goal. Um, and so now

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens in the future. But yeah, I

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: mean I appreciated you guys, are most of you guys

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: even you know, but it's been uh, it's been a

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: great year at strange that you guys have built so much,

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of you guys are not signed next year,

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: so you don't really know what it couldn't look like

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, it's it's a weird situation for sure.

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: I think our core right now is good. I think

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: it could be really good going forward. Um, we got young,

28
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent obviously, you know Shane and

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: you know day Ball are gonna do a lot of

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: things to build on this team, create more depth and

31
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: to get us, you know, to where we need to

32
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: be and where we want to be. Um. But yeah,

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean you you know, you never know how off

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: scenes shakes out. This team won't be the same going forward. Uh,

35
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: and all you can hope for is just improves. And

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, Julie, obviously you know there are a lot

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: of questions about you coming in right this year, and

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, could you feel in foot logan stuff? So

39
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: what do you think you showed people about your value

40
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to whoever um in terms of your positional Manu. Yeah,

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: I think I've said it since the beginning, and a

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: lot of you guys have seen it, maybe in small,

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: small moments. Uh, I don't think I've played better. I

44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: think I just played more I think I've been pretty consistent,

45
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: pretty productive in whatever capacity has been in UH. This year.

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Having to hold down the four, I felt like at

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: times UH would be the guy for us. I think

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I did a solid job. Obviously, there's always to improve,

49
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot to improve on. But you know, I was

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: leaving a lot of games this year, like knowing that

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: my best effort was out there. Um. And so yeah,

52
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: I think it was a successful season for myself. UM.

53
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: And now I know what the bar is and so

54
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: going forward and think, I know what a full year

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: as a starter is for me, and it's pretty damn good.

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: And so I gotta keep stepping it up. It was

57
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: during the by that the Giants started through the the

58
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: initial discussions about a contract extension. Did you were you

59
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: pretty like are you involved in that? Do you just

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: let your agent handle it? And did you leave those

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: conversations thinking like, you know what, we're moving towards a

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: deal here? Uh? Yeah, I was pretty involved. Obviously the

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: agents deal with that stuff. UM well I lost it

64
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: back there, so yeah, you know, you're good, You're good.

65
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: I was pretty involved and I am pretty involved in it. Um.

66
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: I we left off in a better position. Um. At

67
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: the end of the bye weekend, we'll see what things

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: how things shake out. Um, but yeah, it's gonna be

69
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: an exciting time. Obviously, talks will be had. Uh. Now

70
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: you're able to see a full instead of a sample

71
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: size at the Boby. We you're able to see a

72
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: full season of production. And so you know, we'll we'll

73
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: talk will continue obviously, and you guys know I love

74
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: it here and so we'll see what happens. Just oh, okay,

75
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: what's it like in the immediacy of a season ending

76
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: as it as it does for you know, most teams,

77
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: including obviously years last night. Yeah, it's in the emotionally

78
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: vulnerable time honestly. You know, you put your heart into

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: so much and you know, like I said, to fall short,

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: it's tough. Um, you try to reflecting every everywhere you can.

81
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: But you know, you know, as I'm reading on the

82
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: way back, was reading a book on the way back,

83
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, uh, from the game, you're just not paying

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: attention to anything. You're just kind of reflecting on everything

85
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: that happened this year. That the eyes the lows, that's

86
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: what the season is. I mean, one team this year

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: is gonna end the season on a happy note. Uh,

88
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: we weren't that team this year. UM, but you know,

89
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: thinking of all the highs and all the success that

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: happened this year, it was pretty exciting from you know,

91
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: the London game was fun, the home Ravens game was

92
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: the lottest I've ever seen MetLife to clinching just the Colts,

93
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: it was just a whirlwind of of good times. And

94
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: we had a really good group in this locker room,

95
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: a lot of great people. Um. Everyone put their ego

96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: to the side. Some guys had the ego, but it

97
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: all messed together, uh in a cohesive way. And so

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: you know, just as I was reflecting on this year,

99
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, I was just the most happy I've been

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: the past four years. You said that you have to

101
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: do what's best for you, but it's the preference to

102
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: come back here and continue what this team started. Yeah,

103
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm always somebody who, like I said it, wants

104
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: to continue to build on anything a part of Um.

105
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I think I had a huge impact on this team

106
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: this year. Um, not just with play, but just who

107
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I am as a person. I think I was a

108
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: levelhead person. This locker room needed um at times. Uh.

109
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I love this place. I know this place,

110
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and there's familiarity with this place. Um, the staff has

111
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: been the best, all the people I've met over the

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: past few years. I mean, that's the stuff that you

113
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: love and you want to come back to. UM. But

114
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: you know this is football is not forever. UM. I

115
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: know that I put my body on the line every

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: every game and I'm in the action every game. Uh.

117
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: And so when I say I do the best thing

118
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: for me, it's you know, short term thinking. You've got

119
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: to do the best for you to secure you know,

120
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: generational wealth for your family. UM. When you how far

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: apart do you think you guys were when you talked

122
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: to the bye week? Uh? You know, they got closer.

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: We started off far, but we got closer. And so

124
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if all things shake out, it

125
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: should be fine. But yeah, I don't get this movement.

126
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: There was a movement. Yeah, there's okay, Yeah, No, it

127
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: was just a movement. There's some good talks and I

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: think it was a good communication level with my party

129
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: and Shane. Uh, to understand kind of why things were

130
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: what they were. Were you would you plan or have

131
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: you talked directly to Joe not just say like let

132
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: my angel handle it. You say, listen, man, this is

133
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: why I think. I'm gonna tell you right to your face,

134
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: this is why I think I should get paid this money.

135
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: This is my You're doing it here. You're telling us

136
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: why you're valuable. You're not shy, but which is totally fine.

137
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: You were you do that? Have you done that? I'm talking? Yeah?

138
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: I think yeah. Man, man, we have talked, you know,

139
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: I was yeah. I mean he put it, he laid

140
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: it out on kind of what he's looking for and

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: what I feel like I have shown. Um. I always

142
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: try to look at it from all perspectives and put

143
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: myself in their shoes and what would they do or

144
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: what I do if I was in their shoes, And

145
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: so I think with that level of understanding, something's that

146
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 1: you have done. For sure. Um, you know I wanted

147
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: to be at a spot. I'm sure they wanted to

148
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: be at a spot. Um. But the respect between me,

149
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: him and all the people who are involved in this

150
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: is it is all time high, which I think is important.

151
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: It was after the bye week. There's no animosity. I

152
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't shut down at all because we didn't get a

153
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: deal done. I felt confident in my ability to show

154
