1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,666
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:12,146
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:22,746 --> 00:00:25,106
Speaker 2: What's Up, everybody, Welcome to another episode of the Season

4
00:00:25,146 --> 00:00:27,946
Speaker 2: with Peter Schreger. I am Peter Schreger. I just stepped

5
00:00:27,946 --> 00:00:31,586
Speaker 2: into my Brooklyn apartment after spending all morning in the

6
00:00:31,666 --> 00:00:37,146
Speaker 2: early afternoon at New York Giants Detroit Lions joint practice

7
00:00:37,626 --> 00:00:42,946
Speaker 2: number two. Aaron wan Kaufman is joining me, my wonderful producer.

8
00:00:42,466 --> 00:00:45,186
Speaker 1: Aaron, I've got pep in my step. I saw a

9
00:00:45,226 --> 00:00:48,266
Speaker 1: real football today and it was awesome. Let me just

10
00:00:48,266 --> 00:00:51,746
Speaker 1: give you a quick breakdown of practice. Some dispatches coming.

11
00:00:51,546 --> 00:00:54,066
Speaker 2: Into this thing. Yesterday. The storyline was that there was

12
00:00:54,066 --> 00:00:56,346
Speaker 2: a bunch of fights and there was a question as

13
00:00:56,386 --> 00:00:59,106
Speaker 2: to whether they would practice and pads again today and

14
00:00:59,146 --> 00:01:00,946
Speaker 2: go all out because yesterday there were fights. No one

15
00:01:00,946 --> 00:01:03,106
Speaker 2: got hurt, thank god. But one of the key things

16
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:05,066
Speaker 2: was Daniel Jones got involved in a fight in a

17
00:01:05,106 --> 00:01:08,626
Speaker 2: Red Jersey yesterday, came in, popped himself in and he

18
00:01:08,706 --> 00:01:10,826
Speaker 2: didn't do much, but the fact that he was there,

19
00:01:11,106 --> 00:01:14,186
Speaker 2: and the question was, you know, what's he doing? And

20
00:01:14,226 --> 00:01:16,466
Speaker 2: the other question is do we kind of like it?

21
00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:20,866
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones not exactly known as that guy. Uh spent

22
00:01:20,906 --> 00:01:23,986
Speaker 2: the entire offseason with Hard Knocks, you know, being on

23
00:01:24,026 --> 00:01:27,906
Speaker 2: them talking about other quarterbacks and gosh it was and

24
00:01:27,906 --> 00:01:30,186
Speaker 2: obviously everyone seems to be writing off Daniel Jones. Then

25
00:01:30,226 --> 00:01:33,106
Speaker 2: sure enough there was in the mix yesterday. We fast

26
00:01:33,146 --> 00:01:35,546
Speaker 2: forward to today, which is Tuesday, and I get there

27
00:01:35,546 --> 00:01:37,746
Speaker 2: with my colleague Kyle Brandt. We get there nice and early,

28
00:01:38,386 --> 00:01:40,946
Speaker 2: and there's like a buzz in the air because it's

29
00:01:41,026 --> 00:01:44,026
Speaker 2: open to fans. These two teams would add it head

30
00:01:44,066 --> 00:01:46,986
Speaker 2: to head, and today it's like round two. Let me

31
00:01:47,026 --> 00:01:52,706
Speaker 2: explain the Lions. There's something there to them that maybe

32
00:01:52,866 --> 00:01:56,706
Speaker 2: we at home look at it as this cool Cinderella story,

33
00:01:56,746 --> 00:01:59,946
Speaker 2: but like they kind of walked that walk, and they

34
00:02:00,026 --> 00:02:03,146
Speaker 2: kind of talked that. If I'm being honest, like I'm

35
00:02:03,226 --> 00:02:06,346
Speaker 2: watching these guys, they carry themselves as a team that

36
00:02:06,506 --> 00:02:09,586
Speaker 2: went to the NFC Championship game. They've got a bunch

37
00:02:09,626 --> 00:02:12,546
Speaker 2: of alphas in that roster. I mean, we were talking

38
00:02:12,586 --> 00:02:16,066
Speaker 2: about Panay Suwell might be the most horrifying offensive tackle

39
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:19,666
Speaker 2: outside of Trent Williams Aden Hutchinson. He does the thing

40
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:21,786
Speaker 2: where he tucks his jersey in so you could see

41
00:02:21,786 --> 00:02:24,386
Speaker 2: his abs like he's like an old school like, you know,

42
00:02:24,426 --> 00:02:27,426
Speaker 2: he rolls it up old school defensive linemen, like from

43
00:02:27,466 --> 00:02:29,906
Speaker 2: a different era, and he is coming into his own

44
00:02:30,306 --> 00:02:33,426
Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs, he walks that walk. He is that guy.

45
00:02:33,506 --> 00:02:35,906
Speaker 2: And then there's a mon Ross Saint Brown, who his

46
00:02:36,346 --> 00:02:40,026
Speaker 2: father is a mister World bodybuilder, and he kind of

47
00:02:40,106 --> 00:02:44,146
Speaker 2: walks that walk in if he saw the receiver on Netflix.

48
00:02:44,186 --> 00:02:47,786
Speaker 1: He knows sixteen names of receivers who were taken before him,

49
00:02:47,786 --> 00:02:49,546
Speaker 1: and he knows every single one of those players when

50
00:02:49,546 --> 00:02:51,346
Speaker 1: they were selected, in what college they went to. They

51
00:02:51,386 --> 00:02:54,186
Speaker 1: have a giant chip on their shoulder, and they come

52
00:02:54,226 --> 00:02:55,826
Speaker 1: in here and they've got a bunch of swagger, and

53
00:02:56,186 --> 00:02:57,866
Speaker 1: you know, they walk in and last year it was

54
00:02:57,866 --> 00:02:59,386
Speaker 1: this aw shucks team and they.

55
00:02:59,866 --> 00:03:01,746
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no. They are one of

56
00:03:01,746 --> 00:03:03,226
Speaker 2: the biggest teams in the league. They're one of the

57
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:05,786
Speaker 2: most physical teams in the league. And as they got

58
00:03:05,826 --> 00:03:08,626
Speaker 2: to the to New Jersey yesterday, I think there were

59
00:03:08,626 --> 00:03:11,826
Speaker 2: some issues with the with the plane on the tarmac.

60
00:03:11,866 --> 00:03:13,986
Speaker 2: I don't know all the details there, but like there

61
00:03:14,026 --> 00:03:16,466
Speaker 2: was a pissed off vibe from the Lions, which I

62
00:03:16,586 --> 00:03:18,826
Speaker 2: kind of like, and it's one of these where it's like,

63
00:03:18,906 --> 00:03:21,706
Speaker 2: last year wasn't a one year wonder. Last year wasn't

64
00:03:21,706 --> 00:03:23,946
Speaker 2: one of these deals where it was an overnight success.

65
00:03:24,586 --> 00:03:26,786
Speaker 2: They all got paid this offseason, a lot of them,

66
00:03:26,906 --> 00:03:29,706
Speaker 2: whether it be Decker or whether it be Aman Ross,

67
00:03:29,706 --> 00:03:32,106
Speaker 2: Saint Brown, or whether it be Jared Goff, they all

68
00:03:32,106 --> 00:03:35,026
Speaker 2: got paid. And like these are made men and they

69
00:03:35,026 --> 00:03:38,306
Speaker 2: are no longer the Hunters and this aw shuck story.

70
00:03:38,306 --> 00:03:40,426
Speaker 2: They're gonna play at noon on Thanksgiving. Let's just hope

71
00:03:40,426 --> 00:03:41,906
Speaker 2: they don't get blown out that one day when we

72
00:03:41,946 --> 00:03:44,506
Speaker 2: see them on national TV. This is one of the

73
00:03:44,546 --> 00:03:45,586
Speaker 2: best teams in football.

74
00:03:45,626 --> 00:03:48,186
Speaker 1: So they come in with all this and Aaron, I'll

75
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:51,906
Speaker 1: tell you this, a lot of Lions fans there. You

76
00:03:51,946 --> 00:03:54,426
Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn, you grew up on the like, like

77
00:03:54,466 --> 00:03:54,946
Speaker 1: I see.

78
00:03:54,746 --> 00:03:57,426
Speaker 2: A lot of Steelers fans everywhere I go. I see,

79
00:03:57,466 --> 00:04:00,506
Speaker 2: of course, Eagles fans everywhere we go, especially in New York.

80
00:04:00,826 --> 00:04:03,266
Speaker 2: I don't see a ton of Lions fans. Like Lions

81
00:04:03,306 --> 00:04:08,226
Speaker 2: fans showed up at these joint practices and it was cool,

82
00:04:08,506 --> 00:04:10,626
Speaker 2: Like you get there and you've got this Lions team

83
00:04:10,626 --> 00:04:12,546
Speaker 2: that comes in like they're the big bad you know,

84
00:04:12,666 --> 00:04:15,466
Speaker 2: bad asses and all this stuff. Then there's this Giants

85
00:04:15,506 --> 00:04:20,906
Speaker 2: team that's like, we've just been beating up, talked down to, ridiculed,

86
00:04:21,506 --> 00:04:24,146
Speaker 2: made a mockery of over the past twelve months. And

87
00:04:24,146 --> 00:04:27,426
Speaker 2: it's like, what if we had a healthy quarterback, what

88
00:04:27,466 --> 00:04:30,106
Speaker 2: if we beefed up our offensive line, what if we

89
00:04:30,226 --> 00:04:32,706
Speaker 2: added some talented players on the what if we added

90
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:34,586
Speaker 2: Brian Burns, one of the best pass users in football.

91
00:04:34,586 --> 00:04:36,946
Speaker 2: Like what You've got these two different teams with chips

92
00:04:36,986 --> 00:04:39,866
Speaker 2: on their shoulders. They've only been practicing against each other

93
00:04:39,986 --> 00:04:42,826
Speaker 2: the first few weeks of training camp. They finally get

94
00:04:42,866 --> 00:04:46,826
Speaker 2: after it and day one their's fisticos, it gets broken up.

95
00:04:46,906 --> 00:04:50,946
Speaker 2: Day two it starts off and I'm telling you, eron.

96
00:04:51,906 --> 00:04:53,546
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen a receiver put

97
00:04:53,586 --> 00:04:55,906
Speaker 2: on a show like Milik Neighbors put on today. And

98
00:04:56,186 --> 00:04:58,026
Speaker 2: I haven't read Twitter, I haven't read Giants Twitter. I

99
00:04:58,026 --> 00:05:01,226
Speaker 2: haven't done anything literally off the practice field talking to

100
00:05:01,266 --> 00:05:05,066
Speaker 2: you right now. I think Milik Neighbors had I counted

101
00:05:05,146 --> 00:05:08,066
Speaker 2: seven different targets when the Ones are playing the Ones.

102
00:05:08,106 --> 00:05:10,866
Speaker 2: I think he caught all seven having a field day

103
00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:16,226
Speaker 2: on Terry and Arnold, the rookie from the Detroit Lions,

104
00:05:16,226 --> 00:05:19,586
Speaker 2: having a field day on you know, I saw Kirby Joseph,

105
00:05:19,626 --> 00:05:21,586
Speaker 2: who's a star player on the Lions. He was just

106
00:05:21,626 --> 00:05:22,586
Speaker 2: catching balls over him.

107
00:05:22,786 --> 00:05:25,306
Speaker 1: So Milik Neighbors is eating them alive, eating them alive,

108
00:05:25,346 --> 00:05:29,666
Speaker 1: eating them alive. Milik Neighbors catches a ball and on

109
00:05:29,706 --> 00:05:32,546
Speaker 1: the way back to the huddle like taps Terry and Arnold,

110
00:05:32,546 --> 00:05:34,626
Speaker 1: who a tap is more than a tap.

111
00:05:34,906 --> 00:05:37,226
Speaker 2: Terry Arnold, who is a first round pick out of Alabama.

112
00:05:37,266 --> 00:05:39,226
Speaker 2: I remember Neighbors, the first round pick out at LSU.

113
00:05:39,866 --> 00:05:44,826
Speaker 1: Arnold pushes him and then Neighbors immediately gets involved and

114
00:05:44,866 --> 00:05:46,826
Speaker 1: pushes back, and then all of a sudden, there's punches

115
00:05:46,866 --> 00:05:49,466
Speaker 1: being thrown right in front of us as we're set

116
00:05:49,546 --> 00:05:51,586
Speaker 1: up there for Good Morning Football. And this is the

117
00:05:51,706 --> 00:05:53,866
Speaker 1: number six pick in the draft, and I think the

118
00:05:53,906 --> 00:05:57,186
Speaker 1: number twenty three pick in the draft. Neighbors and Arnold,

119
00:05:57,186 --> 00:05:59,826
Speaker 1: and then Kirby Joseph, who was an interception machine last

120
00:05:59,866 --> 00:06:00,666
Speaker 1: year for the Lions.

121
00:06:00,786 --> 00:06:04,866
Speaker 2: He's a recent, you know, draft pick out of Illinois.

122
00:06:04,946 --> 00:06:07,746
Speaker 2: He comes flying in and it's a haha, it's a fracas,

123
00:06:07,866 --> 00:06:10,346
Speaker 2: it's whatever you want to call it. And I'm watching

124
00:06:10,386 --> 00:06:13,506
Speaker 2: this with Kyle Brant, We're like, this is freaking awesome. Now,

125
00:06:13,826 --> 00:06:15,466
Speaker 2: do we want any to get hurt? No, but the

126
00:06:15,466 --> 00:06:18,786
Speaker 2: intensity was so high and I don't have I don't

127
00:06:18,786 --> 00:06:20,426
Speaker 2: do the keep track of like what it was. But

128
00:06:20,506 --> 00:06:24,546
Speaker 2: like Daniel Jones looks really good, Jared Golf looked really good.

129
00:06:25,026 --> 00:06:28,986
Speaker 2: But Malik Neighbors put on an absolute show. And from

130
00:06:28,986 --> 00:06:31,626
Speaker 2: everyone who is there, on Monday is the second straight

131
00:06:31,706 --> 00:06:35,786
Speaker 2: day he's done that. Aaron, are we ready to get

132
00:06:35,826 --> 00:06:39,666
Speaker 2: all aboard the Malik Neighbors hype train? Okay?

133
00:06:39,666 --> 00:06:45,546
Speaker 3: So I also just finished watching episode five of almost

134
00:06:45,666 --> 00:06:46,386
Speaker 3: House of the Dragon.

135
00:06:47,826 --> 00:06:50,546
Speaker 2: Okay, I heard a lot of critical response from House

136
00:06:50,546 --> 00:06:51,186
Speaker 2: to the Dragon, though.

137
00:06:51,066 --> 00:06:54,226
Speaker 3: People aren't I did finish watching the House of the Dragon,

138
00:06:54,266 --> 00:06:56,426
Speaker 3: but just finished the end of Hard Knocks because I

139
00:06:56,426 --> 00:06:59,746
Speaker 3: missed the final episode last week and so I watched

140
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:01,146
Speaker 3: it today.

141
00:07:01,386 --> 00:07:05,866
Speaker 2: And I mean, Neighbors looks incredible, amazing, And that was

142
00:07:05,866 --> 00:07:07,426
Speaker 2: in a June practice you were watching.

143
00:07:07,786 --> 00:07:11,546
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've seen a couple of clips of you know,

144
00:07:11,866 --> 00:07:15,706
Speaker 3: some big high overhead ball like catches that he's made

145
00:07:15,706 --> 00:07:18,386
Speaker 3: from Daneer Jones so far, and you know, we're getting

146
00:07:18,426 --> 00:07:21,386
Speaker 3: a lot of Marvin Harrison talk and and we're getting

147
00:07:21,426 --> 00:07:24,866
Speaker 3: we're seeing Caleb on the field with Rome and I

148
00:07:25,666 --> 00:07:29,186
Speaker 3: want Malik to be incredible. I want I'm not a

149
00:07:29,226 --> 00:07:31,826
Speaker 3: Giants fan, that's fine. I want the days of like

150
00:07:31,866 --> 00:07:35,586
Speaker 3: Obj catching the one handed passes, like making the Giants exciting.

151
00:07:35,626 --> 00:07:37,866
Speaker 3: So I am I would love it if he's great.

152
00:07:38,066 --> 00:07:40,666
Speaker 2: You watched Tard Knocks. There was this really cool distinction

153
00:07:40,866 --> 00:07:44,826
Speaker 2: made during the draft process of whether this guy is

154
00:07:44,866 --> 00:07:48,666
Speaker 2: a diva or this guy is one of those dudes

155
00:07:48,706 --> 00:07:51,346
Speaker 2: that just has an incredible competitive edge because apparently when

156
00:07:51,386 --> 00:07:52,866
Speaker 2: he was at LSU, if he didn't get the ball,

157
00:07:52,866 --> 00:07:55,266
Speaker 2: he barked and he complained and he would let everyone

158
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:56,466
Speaker 2: know about it. And that's a pain in the ass

159
00:07:56,506 --> 00:07:59,066
Speaker 2: for a quarterback, especially if you're gonna be a rookie

160
00:07:59,106 --> 00:07:59,666
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

161
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:02,426
Speaker 1: But Brian Dable felt comfortable with it. That's a great

162
00:08:02,466 --> 00:08:05,106
Speaker 1: segue to our first interview.

163
00:08:05,146 --> 00:08:05,306
Speaker 4: Here.

164
00:08:05,626 --> 00:08:07,306
Speaker 1: We did two interview and I'm going to toss to

165
00:08:07,386 --> 00:08:10,426
Speaker 1: one of them. I asked Dabel exactly this question. This

166
00:08:10,626 --> 00:08:14,066
Speaker 1: was right before practice. Brian Dabele sat with us, and

167
00:08:14,746 --> 00:08:17,386
Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple of visuals here. Brian Dabel's

168
00:08:17,386 --> 00:08:20,466
Speaker 1: down maybe sixty pounds. He looks incredible.

169
00:08:20,986 --> 00:08:25,306
Speaker 2: He said that it's pilates not putting a ton of

170
00:08:25,346 --> 00:08:28,626
Speaker 2: food in his mouth, calorie watching, and he says, Zen,

171
00:08:28,906 --> 00:08:31,306
Speaker 2: just being chill, this is what it was. It helped

172
00:08:31,346 --> 00:08:33,586
Speaker 2: him lose weight, so this is what is. He also

173
00:08:33,626 --> 00:08:36,266
Speaker 2: says he yo Yo's way up and way down over

174
00:08:36,306 --> 00:08:38,466
Speaker 2: the course of his life. So he could put on

175
00:08:38,466 --> 00:08:41,026
Speaker 2: the sixty real quick, he said, And I'm like, please, don't, please,

176
00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:42,706
Speaker 2: don't do that. Like you look great, you look the

177
00:08:42,746 --> 00:08:43,426
Speaker 2: best you've looked.

178
00:08:44,066 --> 00:08:48,106
Speaker 1: But I asked him just that question about neighbors, about

179
00:08:48,386 --> 00:08:50,946
Speaker 1: why he was so convicted in him, and why he

180
00:08:51,066 --> 00:08:54,426
Speaker 1: believed that this guy is all the good things of competitiveness,

181
00:08:54,546 --> 00:08:57,066
Speaker 1: not the bad things that you get with some wide receivers,

182
00:08:57,146 --> 00:08:59,106
Speaker 1: especially if they're not getting the ball early on.

183
00:08:59,426 --> 00:09:01,706
Speaker 2: I love this guy, Brian Dable. We've had him on

184
00:09:01,746 --> 00:09:04,586
Speaker 2: the podcast before. I consider him a friend. If I'm

185
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:06,426
Speaker 2: a little too chummy with him, you got to Understan

186
00:09:06,506 --> 00:09:08,946
Speaker 2: and why. I've known this guy for twenty years and

187
00:09:08,986 --> 00:09:11,786
Speaker 2: I really respect the hot of him and I'm rooting

188
00:09:11,826 --> 00:09:13,706
Speaker 2: for him to get back to where he was when

189
00:09:13,706 --> 00:09:15,186
Speaker 2: he was Coach of the Year two years ago, as

190
00:09:15,186 --> 00:09:17,026
Speaker 2: opposed to last year where the team took a dip

191
00:09:17,746 --> 00:09:20,466
Speaker 2: with no further ado. Here was Brian Dable earlier today

192
00:09:20,506 --> 00:09:21,986
Speaker 2: before Giants practice.

193
00:09:22,426 --> 00:09:26,426
Speaker 1: We're thrilled now to have the twenty twenty two NFL

194
00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:28,026
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, the head coach of the New

195
00:09:28,106 --> 00:09:31,666
Speaker 1: York Giants and a friend of the show, mister Brian Table.

196
00:09:31,706 --> 00:09:33,426
Speaker 4: What's what's up, Dave's how're you doing?

197
00:09:33,426 --> 00:09:34,626
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me, guys, you appreciate it.

198
00:09:34,626 --> 00:09:35,146
Speaker 6: Happy to have you.

199
00:09:35,306 --> 00:09:37,866
Speaker 4: Thrilled that you and still to look at you. You

200
00:09:37,906 --> 00:09:41,426
Speaker 4: look great. You're tam there's like half of you that's

201
00:09:41,506 --> 00:09:43,786
Speaker 4: this year. You look awesome. How do you feel? Yeah?

202
00:09:43,826 --> 00:09:44,426
Speaker 5: I feel great.

203
00:09:44,986 --> 00:09:47,266
Speaker 7: That's what happens when you drop some pounds and you

204
00:09:47,306 --> 00:09:50,346
Speaker 7: know you're you know, you look at the BMI chart

205
00:09:50,706 --> 00:09:53,026
Speaker 7: and mine was off the chart, so I just I

206
00:09:53,146 --> 00:09:55,026
Speaker 7: just had to get it back to where it says overweight.

207
00:09:55,186 --> 00:09:55,546
Speaker 1: Is that right?

208
00:09:56,026 --> 00:09:59,066
Speaker 7: Where I'm sitting at overweight right now? But yeah, feel good.

209
00:09:59,346 --> 00:10:01,266
Speaker 7: Had a good camp and look forward to today.

210
00:10:01,386 --> 00:10:02,626
Speaker 1: I know you you're a guy who wants to talk

211
00:10:02,626 --> 00:10:04,946
Speaker 1: about football. Let's talk about the quarterbacks. Let's talk about it.

212
00:10:05,266 --> 00:10:07,626
Speaker 1: The last thing you want is focus on your physical peas,

213
00:10:07,826 --> 00:10:09,946
Speaker 1: and yet it is so inspiring.

214
00:10:10,426 --> 00:10:12,226
Speaker 6: It motivates all of us when we see what you

215
00:10:12,266 --> 00:10:13,586
Speaker 6: showed up to a camp this year.

216
00:10:13,986 --> 00:10:16,386
Speaker 1: How are you handling all the talk about you personally

217
00:10:16,466 --> 00:10:17,586
Speaker 1: and your your looks?

218
00:10:18,306 --> 00:10:21,226
Speaker 7: Yeah, I disregard that because because I know it's going

219
00:10:21,266 --> 00:10:22,466
Speaker 7: to go up pretty quickly.

220
00:10:22,546 --> 00:10:25,306
Speaker 6: Are you already resigning to that fact season that I have.

221
00:10:25,906 --> 00:10:27,666
Speaker 7: We're on a steady climb at the sense of starting

222
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:28,306
Speaker 7: riting camp.

223
00:10:28,386 --> 00:10:30,986
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know this weather helps to keep it down.

224
00:10:31,026 --> 00:10:31,706
Speaker 5: You sweat it out.

225
00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:34,066
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, but and our focus is on our team

226
00:10:34,106 --> 00:10:37,306
Speaker 7: and trying to get better and had.

227
00:10:37,146 --> 00:10:39,586
Speaker 5: To get some new clothes. But save save the old.

228
00:10:39,466 --> 00:10:41,626
Speaker 4: Ones, know you do save the big ones. You know.

229
00:10:41,706 --> 00:10:44,106
Speaker 8: This is what's crazy about this is Dan Campbell after

230
00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:48,026
Speaker 8: yesterday's practice, of all practices, He's asked about your appearance

231
00:10:48,066 --> 00:10:50,706
Speaker 8: and your weight, and Dan's like, that's Dave's man.

232
00:10:50,706 --> 00:10:51,466
Speaker 4: He's up, he's.

233
00:10:51,346 --> 00:10:53,266
Speaker 8: Down, he's up, he's down, And like he called you

234
00:10:53,266 --> 00:10:56,066
Speaker 8: a chameleon, like whatever the circumstances you fit to. But

235
00:10:56,106 --> 00:10:58,106
Speaker 8: I also think that's relatable to fans. It's like we

236
00:10:58,186 --> 00:11:00,106
Speaker 8: have like heavy season and light season, you get it.

237
00:11:00,226 --> 00:11:02,626
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and you know lately it's been heavy season.

238
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:03,506
Speaker 5: But DC is great.

239
00:11:03,506 --> 00:11:05,386
Speaker 7: You know, we worked together at Miami, got a lot

240
00:11:05,386 --> 00:11:06,986
Speaker 7: of good stories on him as well. You did a

241
00:11:06,986 --> 00:11:10,906
Speaker 7: great impression of it, by the way. Yeah, solid impression.

242
00:11:10,946 --> 00:11:12,866
Speaker 7: But yeah, that's just the way it goes.

243
00:11:13,026 --> 00:11:15,706
Speaker 1: Let me ask you football stuff, because yesterday, I mean

244
00:11:15,786 --> 00:11:17,906
Speaker 1: the stuff that the local media of New York's time

245
00:11:18,066 --> 00:11:19,706
Speaker 1: was like most spirited practice in ten years.

246
00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:22,866
Speaker 6: You had straight Han Victor Cruz, Phil Simms.

247
00:11:22,666 --> 00:11:25,066
Speaker 1: Here and like, here comes this Lions team that went

248
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:27,146
Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship a year ago, coming in as

249
00:11:27,146 --> 00:11:29,626
Speaker 1: the hunted and the Giants are like, we're not, you know,

250
00:11:29,706 --> 00:11:32,226
Speaker 1: walking into our building and bushing us around. Like you

251
00:11:32,306 --> 00:11:34,066
Speaker 1: have to love even if there are fights, you have

252
00:11:34,106 --> 00:11:35,706
Speaker 1: to love that your team came ready to play.

253
00:11:36,186 --> 00:11:38,466
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's why we practice against Detroit. One of

254
00:11:38,506 --> 00:11:41,266
Speaker 7: my appreciation for Dan and how he runs things and

255
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:44,426
Speaker 7: and their team ultimately, but it was a competitive, spirited practice.

256
00:11:44,426 --> 00:11:45,826
Speaker 7: You know, we got to clean up a few things

257
00:11:45,826 --> 00:11:48,706
Speaker 7: here technique wise, clean up some stuff on the in

258
00:11:48,906 --> 00:11:50,746
Speaker 7: the scuffles. We don't want a bunch of those, but

259
00:11:51,346 --> 00:11:52,826
Speaker 7: definitely got a lot of good work out of it

260
00:11:52,906 --> 00:11:54,586
Speaker 7: yesterday and looking to do the same today.

261
00:11:54,986 --> 00:11:57,306
Speaker 8: You know, you see the scuffles in every camp. You

262
00:11:57,426 --> 00:12:00,106
Speaker 8: do not often see a guy in a red jersey

263
00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:03,586
Speaker 8: flying into the scuffle to shove a guy who's entangled

264
00:12:03,626 --> 00:12:05,506
Speaker 8: up with his teammate. You don't want to see Daniel

265
00:12:05,546 --> 00:12:07,666
Speaker 8: Jones get hurt. You want to seem that dude. It's

266
00:12:07,706 --> 00:12:10,066
Speaker 8: bad ass to see the quarterback and have his guys back.

267
00:12:10,106 --> 00:12:11,786
Speaker 8: I think the fans relate. We liked it.

268
00:12:11,906 --> 00:12:13,986
Speaker 4: There's got to be part of you that says hell yes,

269
00:12:14,106 --> 00:12:14,546
Speaker 4: number eight.

270
00:12:15,386 --> 00:12:15,626
Speaker 9: Yeah.

271
00:12:15,706 --> 00:12:18,346
Speaker 5: You know he got in there, and you know it

272
00:12:18,466 --> 00:12:19,506
Speaker 5: was a little scuffle with the.

273
00:12:19,466 --> 00:12:22,706
Speaker 7: Linemen going on, and I didn't exactly see what happened

274
00:12:22,706 --> 00:12:25,546
Speaker 7: after that. And he's sitting over the side and I said,

275
00:12:26,266 --> 00:12:27,546
Speaker 7: what are you going to do in that pilot?

276
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:31,746
Speaker 5: He said, I got my guys back. I said, all right,

277
00:12:31,866 --> 00:12:33,466
Speaker 5: just just make sure you're asked, don't get hurt.

278
00:12:33,506 --> 00:12:36,626
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think the guys have a lot of

279
00:12:36,626 --> 00:12:39,346
Speaker 7: respect for him. They always have the way he approaches things.

280
00:12:39,346 --> 00:12:41,746
Speaker 7: But there's definitely something cool for the lineman and for

281
00:12:41,786 --> 00:12:44,106
Speaker 7: the defensive guys to see with their quarterback.

282
00:12:44,186 --> 00:12:46,786
Speaker 8: You remember in Major League where Wesley Snipes makes the

283
00:12:46,826 --> 00:12:49,266
Speaker 8: basket catch and the magic goes nice catch.

284
00:12:49,306 --> 00:12:53,706
Speaker 7: Hays don't ever bleep and do it against great great

285
00:12:53,986 --> 00:12:55,426
Speaker 7: Lou Brown exactly.

286
00:12:56,786 --> 00:12:57,226
Speaker 4: I love it.

287
00:12:57,346 --> 00:12:58,266
Speaker 5: Outstanding movie.

288
00:12:58,466 --> 00:13:02,626
Speaker 1: Hey, going back to this hard knocks thing at the combine,

289
00:13:02,666 --> 00:13:05,946
Speaker 1: the night before the wide receivers work out, this.

290
00:13:05,866 --> 00:13:07,066
Speaker 6: Is before we see any of them.

291
00:13:07,346 --> 00:13:10,426
Speaker 1: You're talking to your fellow coaches and scouts and being like,

292
00:13:10,546 --> 00:13:12,546
Speaker 1: I was up all night watching Elite Neighbors that I

293
00:13:12,546 --> 00:13:14,986
Speaker 1: love Scott so great. Then the second point it's like

294
00:13:15,186 --> 00:13:16,866
Speaker 1: you see Neighbors, and then the final.

295
00:13:16,586 --> 00:13:17,786
Speaker 6: Episode you're like, I spooked.

296
00:13:17,786 --> 00:13:20,306
Speaker 1: To coach Saban, he said, two players are guys that

297
00:13:20,426 --> 00:13:23,546
Speaker 1: just terrorized him, brock Bowers at Georgia and Neighbors at LSU.

298
00:13:23,706 --> 00:13:26,266
Speaker 1: It felt like wire to wire Neighbors was your guy.

299
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:28,346
Speaker 1: You deny on him, now you got him in the building,

300
00:13:28,626 --> 00:13:30,226
Speaker 1: talk about your love for him in the pre draft

301
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:32,026
Speaker 1: process and what you've seen now that he's here.

302
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:33,986
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was some of my first exposure.

303
00:13:34,026 --> 00:13:35,786
Speaker 7: You know, you're getting done with the season, doing some

304
00:13:35,946 --> 00:13:37,426
Speaker 7: end of the year things, and then you know all

305
00:13:37,426 --> 00:13:39,146
Speaker 7: the scouts are way ahead of you, so you bring

306
00:13:39,186 --> 00:13:42,986
Speaker 7: your computers. You start watching guys, and I started watching him,

307
00:13:43,026 --> 00:13:44,866
Speaker 7: and I just kept watching him.

308
00:13:44,866 --> 00:13:46,586
Speaker 5: I didn't watch a whole lot of other players when

309
00:13:46,586 --> 00:13:49,226
Speaker 5: I was there. I watched them near all his tape.

310
00:13:49,386 --> 00:13:52,546
Speaker 7: Yeah, because you love the style that he plays with

311
00:13:52,746 --> 00:13:57,586
Speaker 7: the competitive spirit. He's big, physical, he made plays down

312
00:13:57,666 --> 00:14:00,026
Speaker 7: the field, catching runs, So kind of got a little

313
00:14:00,066 --> 00:14:02,346
Speaker 7: addicted to watching, you know how he played in a

314
00:14:02,386 --> 00:14:06,386
Speaker 7: competitive obviously league. And then you know, the more you

315
00:14:06,466 --> 00:14:07,986
Speaker 7: watch him and you go back and you look at

316
00:14:08,026 --> 00:14:10,786
Speaker 7: different things. You know, he was a guy that you know,

317
00:14:10,986 --> 00:14:13,826
Speaker 7: was obviously high on my list and our list as

318
00:14:13,866 --> 00:14:15,786
Speaker 7: the process went on. He's he's done a good job

319
00:14:15,826 --> 00:14:19,066
Speaker 7: since he's been here. He's picked things well, picked up

320
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:21,226
Speaker 7: things well, and he's had a good start day.

321
00:14:21,266 --> 00:14:23,946
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's this cool delineation in the episode where he's

322
00:14:23,946 --> 00:14:26,986
Speaker 1: a talker, he wants the ball, and I think you say,

323
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,546
Speaker 1: like there's a difference between being selfish and there's just

324
00:14:29,546 --> 00:14:30,466
Speaker 1: having been a dog.

325
00:14:30,546 --> 00:14:32,946
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this guy, like we're gonna lean on.

326
00:14:32,986 --> 00:14:33,386
Speaker 9: He's a dog.

327
00:14:33,386 --> 00:14:34,746
Speaker 6: He's not a talker. He's not a deva like this

328
00:14:34,826 --> 00:14:36,306
Speaker 6: a guy who just is competitive as hell.

329
00:14:36,666 --> 00:14:37,546
Speaker 5: He really is.

330
00:14:37,706 --> 00:14:42,026
Speaker 7: And again, I'm happy he's here. We've developed a strong relationship.

331
00:14:42,066 --> 00:14:44,866
Speaker 7: You know, since he's been here through now, he sees

332
00:14:44,906 --> 00:14:46,746
Speaker 7: the game well for a young player. You know, I

333
00:14:46,746 --> 00:14:49,146
Speaker 7: asked him things that he likes or defenders that he's

334
00:14:49,146 --> 00:14:52,986
Speaker 7: going against. I think he's elevated the receiver room. The

335
00:14:53,026 --> 00:14:54,626
Speaker 7: guys have a lot of respect for him. I know

336
00:14:54,666 --> 00:14:57,706
Speaker 7: the quarterback does, so you know, I'm glad we have him.

337
00:14:58,386 --> 00:15:00,386
Speaker 8: Peter, And I remember a couple of years ago, coach

338
00:15:00,626 --> 00:15:03,386
Speaker 8: being at NFL honors and you're there, wife, and you're

339
00:15:03,386 --> 00:15:06,986
Speaker 8: all dressed up some very exciting nights, get your name called, like,

340
00:15:07,066 --> 00:15:09,106
Speaker 8: oh my god, I've made it. I've worked so hard

341
00:15:09,146 --> 00:15:11,986
Speaker 8: for this. Last year was not the year you wanted.

342
00:15:12,186 --> 00:15:15,066
Speaker 8: And now we're in twenty twenty four. Where are you psychologically?

343
00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:16,866
Speaker 8: You've been all over the place in so many good

344
00:15:16,866 --> 00:15:18,026
Speaker 8: ways and so many challenging ways.

345
00:15:18,066 --> 00:15:18,666
Speaker 4: How are you feeling?

346
00:15:18,906 --> 00:15:21,626
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel great again. This is my twenty fourth

347
00:15:21,666 --> 00:15:22,986
Speaker 7: year in the National Football League.

348
00:15:22,986 --> 00:15:23,386
Speaker 9: Amazing.

349
00:15:23,706 --> 00:15:24,866
Speaker 5: I've experienced, you.

350
00:15:24,786 --> 00:15:26,826
Speaker 7: Know, the highs, the highs and the lowest lows, and

351
00:15:26,866 --> 00:15:29,386
Speaker 7: that's the NFL and and how you handle it and

352
00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:31,906
Speaker 7: get ready for the next season, that's what's the most important.

353
00:15:32,186 --> 00:15:33,946
Speaker 7: Have a lot of confidence in the people that we

354
00:15:33,986 --> 00:15:37,106
Speaker 7: have in our building, the staff members, the players were

355
00:15:37,106 --> 00:15:40,346
Speaker 7: growing each day. You know, I bought a brand new

356
00:15:40,386 --> 00:15:43,346
Speaker 7: suit for that for that night. That costs me a

357
00:15:43,386 --> 00:15:45,746
Speaker 7: lot of money. And now you know, I can't adjust

358
00:15:45,786 --> 00:15:46,946
Speaker 7: it right now because it's so big.

359
00:15:46,986 --> 00:15:48,266
Speaker 5: So that's right now.

360
00:15:49,186 --> 00:15:50,746
Speaker 7: So that's why I got to go ahead and put

361
00:15:50,786 --> 00:15:51,226
Speaker 7: it back on.

362
00:15:51,346 --> 00:15:52,546
Speaker 5: But feel good.

363
00:15:52,546 --> 00:15:56,826
Speaker 7: I've had a good camp, energized, look forward to getting

364
00:15:56,826 --> 00:15:57,346
Speaker 7: going here.

365
00:15:57,306 --> 00:15:59,866
Speaker 1: Can I can I go into kind of the psychology

366
00:15:59,866 --> 00:16:03,106
Speaker 1: of the off season where all right, Tae Kwon's walking out,

367
00:16:03,106 --> 00:16:04,946
Speaker 1: but we're gonna bring in run In, We're gonna bring

368
00:16:04,946 --> 00:16:07,186
Speaker 1: in illumin or we're gonna bring in Brian. These guys

369
00:16:07,666 --> 00:16:10,626
Speaker 1: are on the lines, defensive line, offensive line, and they

370
00:16:10,626 --> 00:16:13,546
Speaker 1: have a certain grit to them. Was that a statement

371
00:16:13,586 --> 00:16:15,546
Speaker 1: with here's how we're building our team for twenty twenty four.

372
00:16:15,586 --> 00:16:17,066
Speaker 6: We're gonna protect Daniel, but we're.

373
00:16:16,906 --> 00:16:18,746
Speaker 1: Also going to bring in guys that'll get a little

374
00:16:18,746 --> 00:16:19,546
Speaker 1: dirty in the trenches.

375
00:16:19,626 --> 00:16:22,146
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, Then that's where it starts, as you know,

376
00:16:22,186 --> 00:16:26,026
Speaker 7: Peter offense and defensive line and having a mentality. But

377
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:28,346
Speaker 7: you know, the skill guys we brought into and i'd

378
00:16:28,386 --> 00:16:30,066
Speaker 7: say this rookie class, obviously we.

379
00:16:30,146 --> 00:16:31,986
Speaker 5: Haven't played a game. They have some of that as well.

380
00:16:31,986 --> 00:16:34,706
Speaker 6: There's some grit, some toughness like that Tyrone Tracy.

381
00:16:35,026 --> 00:16:38,186
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know they've all contributed so far in camp.

382
00:16:38,466 --> 00:16:39,906
Speaker 7: You know, we'll see how it goes once we start

383
00:16:39,946 --> 00:16:42,626
Speaker 7: these preseason games. But you know, toughness was something that

384
00:16:42,626 --> 00:16:44,586
Speaker 7: we really wanted to improve from the year before.

385
00:16:45,506 --> 00:16:48,186
Speaker 8: I have to ask, as you mentioned it, Dan Campbell

386
00:16:48,226 --> 00:16:48,466
Speaker 8: is here.

387
00:16:48,506 --> 00:16:49,466
Speaker 4: You guys are practicing again.

388
00:16:49,466 --> 00:16:50,346
Speaker 9: You guys got a lot of history.

389
00:16:50,386 --> 00:16:51,066
Speaker 4: You straight upset.

390
00:16:51,226 --> 00:16:53,066
Speaker 8: I got a lot of Dan Campbell's stories back.

391
00:16:52,986 --> 00:16:53,466
Speaker 4: In their day.

392
00:16:53,786 --> 00:16:56,266
Speaker 8: Give us one DC story when maybe you knew he

393
00:16:56,306 --> 00:16:57,066
Speaker 8: was a little different.

394
00:16:57,786 --> 00:16:58,226
Speaker 5: Yeah it was.

395
00:16:58,546 --> 00:17:00,986
Speaker 7: You know, Tony Sprowno got rest of soul. Yeah, I've

396
00:17:01,026 --> 00:17:04,386
Speaker 7: said this before. He's like, I have a young guy

397
00:17:04,426 --> 00:17:06,786
Speaker 7: that has played that I think will make a tremendous coach.

398
00:17:07,386 --> 00:17:08,866
Speaker 5: You don't have to If you don't.

399
00:17:08,826 --> 00:17:11,546
Speaker 7: Want to hire him or recommend hire him, that's fine,

400
00:17:12,106 --> 00:17:13,666
Speaker 7: but I'd like you to talk to him. So I

401
00:17:13,706 --> 00:17:17,546
Speaker 7: sat down with him for the interview process, and within

402
00:17:17,666 --> 00:17:20,426
Speaker 7: five minutes, you know, he's out of breath, there's chairs

403
00:17:20,426 --> 00:17:22,866
Speaker 7: moving around, He's showing me all these techniques.

404
00:17:23,186 --> 00:17:25,106
Speaker 5: And after about the first five minutes it went for

405
00:17:25,226 --> 00:17:28,066
Speaker 5: a while. I said, this is the guy. He's relatable,

406
00:17:28,466 --> 00:17:30,826
Speaker 5: he's got a toughness about him. He's a hiccup, a coach.

407
00:17:30,826 --> 00:17:32,786
Speaker 7: You know, he's a former player but sees the game

408
00:17:32,866 --> 00:17:35,586
Speaker 7: the right way. I really enjoyed my time with him.

409
00:17:36,026 --> 00:17:39,066
Speaker 7: You know, power cleaner every morning watch. You know, it

410
00:17:39,066 --> 00:17:41,026
Speaker 7: looks like he can go out there and put it

411
00:17:41,066 --> 00:17:44,306
Speaker 7: on some guys right now. But great family, got a

412
00:17:44,306 --> 00:17:47,386
Speaker 7: great appreciation, have state friends for the years. So happy

413
00:17:47,386 --> 00:17:49,986
Speaker 7: for him when he got that opportunity. But you know

414
00:17:50,026 --> 00:17:53,146
Speaker 7: he's he was out of breath pretty quick in that interview.

415
00:17:53,786 --> 00:17:56,226
Speaker 1: My last question for you, it's about this team here,

416
00:17:56,266 --> 00:18:00,066
Speaker 1: this franchise, this season, in particular one hundred years the

417
00:18:00,106 --> 00:18:01,986
Speaker 1: New York Giants. We always talk about the crown jewel

418
00:18:02,026 --> 00:18:05,346
Speaker 1: franchises of the league. You talk about all the Lombardi trophies,

419
00:18:05,386 --> 00:18:07,346
Speaker 1: all the history, and how cool it's been to see

420
00:18:07,546 --> 00:18:10,826
Speaker 1: a lot of those faces here at the building even yesterday,

421
00:18:10,866 --> 00:18:13,426
Speaker 1: having straight hand and Cruise and Sims and those guys.

422
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:16,426
Speaker 1: Does it feel like this is a special season from

423
00:18:16,466 --> 00:18:18,466
Speaker 1: your from your cock bit like you're looking at do

424
00:18:18,466 --> 00:18:21,186
Speaker 1: you know the overall significance knowing what this means to

425
00:18:21,186 --> 00:18:22,306
Speaker 1: this franchise and to these fans.

426
00:18:22,386 --> 00:18:26,426
Speaker 7: Yeah, I certainly respect that. Obviously historic. You know, my

427
00:18:26,506 --> 00:18:28,866
Speaker 7: focus is really on this year. Well, weak control but

428
00:18:29,226 --> 00:18:31,186
Speaker 7: have a tremendous amount of respect for all the people

429
00:18:31,226 --> 00:18:33,346
Speaker 7: that have come before us, our ownership group.

430
00:18:33,626 --> 00:18:34,306
Speaker 5: You know again, you.

431
00:18:34,266 --> 00:18:36,346
Speaker 7: See the guys that come out here and they've kind

432
00:18:36,346 --> 00:18:38,666
Speaker 7: of laid a foundation of some of those successful teams.

433
00:18:38,666 --> 00:18:41,186
Speaker 5: But you know, our focus has to be on on getting.

434
00:18:40,866 --> 00:18:43,066
Speaker 7: Better, focusing on this year, doing the things we need.

435
00:18:42,906 --> 00:18:44,626
Speaker 5: To do with respect to the past.

438
00:18:50,586 --> 00:18:52,546
Speaker 6: I like that good preseason here, coach.

439
00:18:52,546 --> 00:18:55,106
Speaker 1: We're wishing you the best of luck, and I'm gonna

440
00:18:55,346 --> 00:18:56,066
Speaker 1: disagree with you.

441
00:18:56,706 --> 00:18:58,706
Speaker 6: I don't think you put the weight back on. I

442
00:18:58,706 --> 00:18:59,186
Speaker 6: think you are.

443
00:18:59,306 --> 00:19:00,466
Speaker 4: This is the time it stays off.

444
00:19:00,506 --> 00:19:03,186
Speaker 1: Discipline. Man, you are not gonna yo yo. I will

445
00:19:03,226 --> 00:19:05,106
Speaker 1: put on the weight. I know I will every season.

446
00:19:05,146 --> 00:19:06,946
Speaker 1: You will not, though you are going to be discipline.

447
00:19:06,946 --> 00:19:08,706
Speaker 1: Then the Pilates place in y Coffin is gonna give

448
00:19:08,706 --> 00:19:10,826
Speaker 1: you that one free class because you've only mentioned them

449
00:19:10,826 --> 00:19:12,426
Speaker 1: thirteen times in the last two weeks.

450
00:19:12,506 --> 00:19:15,906
Speaker 5: I'd appreciate that. I'd also take that bet On take

451
00:19:15,986 --> 00:19:16,306
Speaker 5: the bet.

452
00:19:16,506 --> 00:19:17,346
Speaker 4: I'll take it, Beck too.

453
00:19:17,426 --> 00:19:19,266
Speaker 8: We're gonna hear that Jerry Springer bell out in the

454
00:19:19,266 --> 00:19:27,746
Speaker 8: middle of practice today, A bunch of times thing. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.

455
00:19:28,586 --> 00:19:31,946
Speaker 2: So that's Dabele. I mean, you hear him. He's we

456
00:19:32,026 --> 00:19:33,146
Speaker 2: didn't really he wasn't looking to.

457
00:19:33,146 --> 00:19:35,826
Speaker 1: Talk about his physical appearance. I probably asked four questions

458
00:19:35,866 --> 00:19:37,066
Speaker 1: about it. Kyle asked the fifth one.

459
00:19:37,106 --> 00:19:38,746
Speaker 2: At that point. He's like, all right, we talking about football,

460
00:19:38,786 --> 00:19:41,266
Speaker 2: like I think we're good. He's not comfortable in that,

461
00:19:41,266 --> 00:19:43,306
Speaker 2: but I will say this, he looks great. You're gonna

462
00:19:43,306 --> 00:19:45,546
Speaker 2: see him. It's gonna be a story. Obviously it already is.

463
00:19:45,866 --> 00:19:48,466
Speaker 2: But I also think it's interesting what he says about

464
00:19:48,466 --> 00:19:50,306
Speaker 2: this team and what they really preach this year, and

465
00:19:50,346 --> 00:19:54,506
Speaker 2: it was toughness. So you bring in John Runyon, you

466
00:19:54,546 --> 00:19:57,386
Speaker 2: bring in Illumina, or you bring Brian Burns. These are

467
00:19:57,546 --> 00:20:00,106
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage guys that might have been missing the

468
00:20:00,186 --> 00:20:02,946
Speaker 2: last few years. And you surround Daniel Jones and you

469
00:20:02,946 --> 00:20:05,946
Speaker 2: hope that he elevates. Really dug talking to daball, like

470
00:20:05,986 --> 00:20:18,866

Speaker 8: then all you're involved, Let's let's get into this. Okay,

488
00:20:55,066 --> 00:20:57,346
Speaker 8: yesterday everybody saw it around the world. Now it's it's

489
00:20:57,346 --> 00:21:00,346
Speaker 8: everywhere on the internet. Giants Lions have a joint practice

490
00:21:00,346 --> 00:21:04,986
Speaker 8: and there's many dust ups, fracases, everything. Hey, donny Brook,

491
00:21:05,186 --> 00:21:07,826
Speaker 8: like talk take us through yesterday's practice in that regard.

492
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:10,346
Speaker 10: Yeah, last year we scrimmaged against Detroit for two days

493
00:21:10,346 --> 00:21:12,746
Speaker 10: and we didn't have there were no fights, there was nothing.

494
00:21:12,746 --> 00:21:13,186
Speaker 9: It was great.

495
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:16,786
Speaker 10: Everything went smooth, and early on in practice there was

496
00:21:16,826 --> 00:21:18,546
Speaker 10: a couple of hits and things got.

497
00:21:18,386 --> 00:21:21,546
Speaker 9: Heated early on. So yeah, I mean from my position,

498
00:21:21,746 --> 00:21:22,346
Speaker 9: I just want to.

499
00:21:22,266 --> 00:21:25,386
Speaker 10: Get good work and everybody come out of practice healthy.

500
00:21:25,706 --> 00:21:27,706
Speaker 10: That's the biggest concern for me, and that's why we're

501
00:21:27,746 --> 00:21:29,586
Speaker 10: practicing with Detroit. Like a lot of respect for Dan

502
00:21:29,626 --> 00:21:32,186
Speaker 10: Campbell and his staff, Brad Holmes and what they're doing

503
00:21:32,226 --> 00:21:35,066
Speaker 10: up in Detroit. So hopefully we don't have as much

504
00:21:35,226 --> 00:21:36,666
Speaker 10: extracurricular activity today as.

505
00:21:36,546 --> 00:21:37,186
Speaker 9: We did yesterday.

506
00:21:37,626 --> 00:21:40,186
Speaker 6: Now, there was another little part of this. Kyle didn't mentioned.

507
00:21:40,386 --> 00:21:42,546
Speaker 1: There was a skirmish on the sideline, and there wasn't

508
00:21:42,866 --> 00:21:45,466
Speaker 1: the security officer, it wasn't the offensive lineman, the general manager,

509
00:21:45,546 --> 00:21:48,026
Speaker 1: Joe Shane you got involved and broke it up.

510
00:21:48,026 --> 00:21:50,106
Speaker 6: But I got scared when I see a man with

511
00:21:50,106 --> 00:21:50,866
Speaker 6: no helmet on the field.

512
00:21:50,906 --> 00:21:51,346
Speaker 4: What happened?

513
00:21:51,466 --> 00:21:53,306
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, again, we were doing a red zone period

514
00:21:53,306 --> 00:21:54,986
Speaker 10: and you know, our whole team was on one side,

515
00:21:55,026 --> 00:21:57,306
Speaker 10: theirs was on another. So I was right there by

516
00:21:57,346 --> 00:21:59,466
Speaker 10: the ruckus or whatever is going on. I was just

517
00:21:59,466 --> 00:22:01,306
Speaker 10: trying to keep our guys back. So I think got

518
00:22:01,346 --> 00:22:03,666
Speaker 10: a little bit of overblown in terms of my involvement,

519
00:22:03,986 --> 00:22:05,946
Speaker 10: and you know, I know my strengths and weaknesses. I

520
00:22:06,026 --> 00:22:07,826
Speaker 10: was just trying to keep our guys back. In no

521
00:22:07,866 --> 00:22:08,826
Speaker 10: way was I getting involved.

522
00:22:08,866 --> 00:22:10,906
Speaker 4: That's never been seen, you know, Like we were joking.

523
00:22:10,906 --> 00:22:13,226
Speaker 8: We were joking earlier, like you hanging on a cave

524
00:22:13,266 --> 00:22:14,306
Speaker 8: on Thibodaux.

525
00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:16,066
Speaker 4: Like or Jeff ben Gundy's leg. It's not like that.

526
00:22:16,586 --> 00:22:18,306
Speaker 8: I thought maybe you would walk across the field and

527
00:22:18,386 --> 00:22:20,666
Speaker 8: challenge Brad Holmes to a fight, right, that's how you

528
00:22:20,746 --> 00:22:21,386
Speaker 8: do it.

529
00:22:21,186 --> 00:22:22,746
Speaker 10: So Brad's in the same boat as me. We just

530
00:22:22,786 --> 00:22:24,506
Speaker 10: want to get good work and get out of there healthy.

531
00:22:24,626 --> 00:22:25,266
Speaker 4: And you did it.

532
00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:27,666
Speaker 8: But I'm honestly Joe, like it's it's playing very well

533
00:22:27,706 --> 00:22:29,426
Speaker 8: for you in like the court of public opinion.

534
00:22:29,466 --> 00:22:31,346
Speaker 4: It's just cool that you were there and not afraid.

535
00:22:31,386 --> 00:22:33,546
Speaker 8: And you these are your players, you sign them, you

536
00:22:33,586 --> 00:22:34,946
Speaker 8: want to protect them, and you did.

537
00:22:35,026 --> 00:22:36,986
Speaker 9: I think it's cool, no doubt, no doubt. Again, I

538
00:22:37,066 --> 00:22:37,986
Speaker 9: just want to get out healthy.

539
00:22:38,026 --> 00:22:39,866
Speaker 10: I don't want somebody, you know, getta stupid to hit

540
00:22:39,866 --> 00:22:41,826
Speaker 10: somebody with a helmet on with your fist, things like that,

541
00:22:41,906 --> 00:22:44,026
Speaker 10: and guys can get caught up in the moment. And

542
00:22:44,186 --> 00:22:45,546
Speaker 10: you know, I was just trying to prevent anything like

543
00:22:45,666 --> 00:22:46,186
Speaker 10: new happening.

544
00:22:46,306 --> 00:22:48,146
Speaker 1: Yeah, can I can I just geek out? Can we

545
00:22:48,146 --> 00:22:50,026
Speaker 1: talk about Malik neighbors a little bit. Yeah, I know,

546
00:22:50,226 --> 00:22:50,826
Speaker 1: I know, there's.

547
00:22:50,666 --> 00:22:52,186
Speaker 6: Just like we have to be we have to temper

548
00:22:52,226 --> 00:22:53,506
Speaker 6: our expectations. You're a rookie.

549
00:22:53,546 --> 00:22:55,306
Speaker 2: But like I just see it from Afar.

550
00:22:55,306 --> 00:22:58,226
Speaker 1: I haven't been the Giants camp yet, it looks like

551
00:22:58,226 --> 00:22:59,626
Speaker 1: he's the real deal in practice.

552
00:23:00,146 --> 00:23:02,626
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, he's uh, he's been really good. He's had

553
00:23:02,666 --> 00:23:04,026
Speaker 10: a good couple of weeks here. He did a good

554
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:07,266
Speaker 10: job yesterday. Again, he keeps stacked good days together.

555
00:23:07,306 --> 00:23:08,946
Speaker 9: And it's it's it's what we saw at LSU.

556
00:23:09,026 --> 00:23:10,706
Speaker 10: I mean, he was a he was a dominant player

557
00:23:10,706 --> 00:23:13,186
Speaker 10: in the SEC and he's come out here. He's learned

558
00:23:13,186 --> 00:23:16,826
Speaker 10: the offense probably better than we expected. We're able to

559
00:23:16,826 --> 00:23:18,666
Speaker 10: move him around and he's he's he's handling a lot

560
00:23:18,746 --> 00:23:20,786
Speaker 10: right now and he's able to go out and execute.

561
00:23:20,826 --> 00:23:22,626
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's definitely encouraging where he is right now.

562
00:23:23,226 --> 00:23:25,546
Speaker 8: Hey, and I don't mean to bring up the fracases,

563
00:23:25,546 --> 00:23:26,946
Speaker 8: but I'm gonna do this constructively.

564
00:23:27,586 --> 00:23:30,146
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones is being talked about too, Okay, because the.

565
00:23:30,146 --> 00:23:32,746
Speaker 8: Guy in the red jersey, the franchise quarterback, is in

566
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:36,226
Speaker 8: their shoving defensive lineman and showing fear. And he's got

567
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:38,026
Speaker 8: he's got a beard, now showing no fear. He's got

568
00:23:38,026 --> 00:23:38,346
Speaker 8: a beard.

569
00:23:38,386 --> 00:23:38,506
Speaker 10: Now.

570
00:23:38,546 --> 00:23:41,266
Speaker 8: People online are like, wow, Daniel Jones coming up differently.

571
00:23:41,666 --> 00:23:43,706
Speaker 8: Obviously you don't want them to get hurt. But Peter

572
00:23:43,746 --> 00:23:46,706
Speaker 8: and I agree that it was a moment for Daniel Jones,

573
00:23:46,826 --> 00:23:49,426
Speaker 8: like for the fans, for the teammates that I'm here

574
00:23:49,466 --> 00:23:51,426
Speaker 8: to fight too, and I got my guys back.

575
00:23:51,546 --> 00:23:53,306
Speaker 4: Like, how was that interpreted by you guys and the

576
00:23:53,306 --> 00:23:53,826
Speaker 4: coaches stuff?

577
00:23:53,906 --> 00:23:57,066
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the players definitely probably appreciated it. You know,

578
00:23:57,106 --> 00:23:59,226
Speaker 10: his teammates seeing him getting in there from from again,

579
00:23:59,306 --> 00:24:01,346
Speaker 10: from my seat and my perspective where I was, I

580
00:24:01,386 --> 00:24:02,146
Speaker 10: was like, get.

581
00:24:01,946 --> 00:24:04,386
Speaker 6: Out of there, get out of there.

582
00:24:04,426 --> 00:24:06,666
Speaker 10: You know, Red Jersey coming off in acl like, yeah,

583
00:24:06,666 --> 00:24:08,706
Speaker 10: We're got out of there. But you know, sometimes your

584
00:24:08,746 --> 00:24:11,226
Speaker 10: natural instinct kicks in and when your teammates need your help,

585
00:24:11,266 --> 00:24:13,546
Speaker 10: you know, that's your natural instinct to go help.

586
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:15,226
Speaker 9: And that's what Daniel did, and luckily he.

587
00:24:15,226 --> 00:24:16,706
Speaker 10: Got out of there, and again we just I just

588
00:24:16,746 --> 00:24:18,586
Speaker 10: want to get out of here healthy and get some

589
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:19,106
Speaker 10: good work in.

590
00:24:19,306 --> 00:24:21,786
Speaker 1: You know, the Giants off season, obviously Saquon was the

591
00:24:21,786 --> 00:24:24,666
Speaker 1: big headline that he's no longer here, but quietly, you

592
00:24:24,666 --> 00:24:28,826
Speaker 1: guys had illuminor you had Runyon, you had Motor Singletary,

593
00:24:29,346 --> 00:24:32,386
Speaker 1: we're a weekend to practices. We've now got these joint practices.

594
00:24:32,586 --> 00:24:34,146
Speaker 1: How are you feeling with the new addition so far?

595
00:24:34,226 --> 00:24:35,106
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel really good.

596
00:24:35,146 --> 00:24:37,186
Speaker 10: And and Brian Burns, you know, we traded for him too,

597
00:24:37,186 --> 00:24:39,626
Speaker 10: and he's been really good in camp. But Motor we

598
00:24:39,706 --> 00:24:41,906
Speaker 10: had familiarity with from Buffalo.

599
00:24:41,866 --> 00:24:44,986
Speaker 9: Illumini or Runyon. They've they've performed very well. So all

600
00:24:45,026 --> 00:24:45,306
Speaker 9: three of.

601
00:24:45,306 --> 00:24:47,106
Speaker 10: Those guys what we expected to get in terms of

602
00:24:47,146 --> 00:24:49,066
Speaker 10: production and the way they look on the grass has

603
00:24:49,106 --> 00:24:50,866
Speaker 10: been really good. And not even that just from a

604
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:52,906
Speaker 10: culture standpoint, who they are as people and what they

605
00:24:52,986 --> 00:24:55,866
Speaker 10: bring to the table as veteran players with leadership, you know,

606
00:24:55,906 --> 00:24:57,746
Speaker 10: as we're trying to turn this around, you know, they've

607
00:24:57,746 --> 00:24:58,426
Speaker 10: been phenomenal.

608
00:24:58,786 --> 00:25:00,106
Speaker 4: I just have to take it time. And it's Chris

625
00:25:35,266 --> 00:25:36,746
Speaker 8: So I promised we weren't going to bring it up,

626
00:25:36,786 --> 00:25:38,906
Speaker 8: but you mentioned Hard Knocks Joe.

627
00:25:38,946 --> 00:25:40,346
Speaker 4: We know y'all. All you want to do is take

628
00:25:40,386 --> 00:25:41,866
Speaker 4: care of your family and come to work and do

629
00:25:41,906 --> 00:25:42,706
Speaker 4: your job in private.

630
00:25:42,826 --> 00:25:45,226
Speaker 8: That's that's how you operate. You weren't allowed to do that.

631
00:25:45,386 --> 00:25:47,786
Speaker 8: It was Look, it's forced upon you. You guys don't choose.

632
00:25:48,746 --> 00:25:51,306
Speaker 8: You were in the show a lot talking about really

633
00:25:51,466 --> 00:25:54,186
Speaker 8: really important private things on television.

634
00:25:54,426 --> 00:25:55,266
Speaker 4: What was that experience?

635
00:25:55,386 --> 00:25:57,746
Speaker 9: Like, Yeah, going through the process that had never been

636
00:25:57,786 --> 00:25:58,266
Speaker 9: done before.

637
00:25:58,386 --> 00:26:00,506
Speaker 10: So you get used to the cameras and you just

638
00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:03,586
Speaker 10: it's business as usual, not knowing what the end products

639
00:26:03,626 --> 00:26:03,946
Speaker 10: gonna be.

640
00:26:04,106 --> 00:26:06,306
Speaker 9: So credit to NFL Films. I thought they did a

641
00:26:06,466 --> 00:26:06,986
Speaker 9: very good job.

642
00:26:06,986 --> 00:26:09,466
Speaker 10: I would say the fans and everybody would say, boy,

643
00:26:09,506 --> 00:26:10,306
Speaker 10: they showed a little.

644
00:26:10,106 --> 00:26:11,106
Speaker 9: Bit more than we thought they would.

645
00:26:11,146 --> 00:26:12,746
Speaker 10: And yeah, not not all of it was comfortable, and

646
00:26:12,746 --> 00:26:15,226
Speaker 10: there's some some conversations that are you know, you wish

647
00:26:15,266 --> 00:26:17,706
Speaker 10: they would remain private, but they were. They were part

648
00:26:17,746 --> 00:26:19,866
Speaker 10: of the show, and you know we had editorial input,

649
00:26:19,986 --> 00:26:21,706
Speaker 10: not control. So you know, there were some things that

650
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:23,306
Speaker 10: were I was like, I'm not real comfortable with that,

651
00:26:23,466 --> 00:26:24,946
Speaker 10: but you know it was in the show. But I

652
00:26:24,986 --> 00:26:27,186
Speaker 10: think all in all, NFL Films they did a great job.

653
00:26:27,346 --> 00:26:29,266
Speaker 10: You know, when you're doing it too, you have a

654
00:26:29,306 --> 00:26:31,306
Speaker 10: lot of private conversations leading up to the draft or

655
00:26:31,306 --> 00:26:34,586
Speaker 10: free agency on strategy and you're always worried about as

656
00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:35,986
Speaker 10: somebody from you know, it is again to get out,

657
00:26:36,026 --> 00:26:37,666
Speaker 10: and they didn't you know, the confidence and trust that

658
00:26:37,706 --> 00:26:39,466
Speaker 10: we had an NFL Films and they had in us.

659
00:26:39,786 --> 00:26:41,266
Speaker 10: You know, I think it came out well, you know,

660
00:26:41,306 --> 00:26:42,906
Speaker 10: the five episodes I thought were really good.

661
00:26:42,986 --> 00:26:46,546
Speaker 9: And again it was a dead media cycle.

662
00:26:46,626 --> 00:26:48,706
Speaker 10: And at that time when it came out, so you're

663
00:26:48,746 --> 00:26:51,786
Speaker 10: on vacation and everybody's critiquing everything that you're doing.

664
00:26:51,666 --> 00:26:52,146
Speaker 9: It was dead.

665
00:26:52,146 --> 00:26:53,986
Speaker 4: And then you guys went on it right to light.

666
00:26:54,026 --> 00:26:56,426
Speaker 1: And it was like a supermarket recognition like where are

667
00:26:56,426 --> 00:26:57,266
Speaker 1: we at air airport?

668
00:26:57,306 --> 00:27:00,426
Speaker 9: Recognized? Yeah, no, it was good out of the country,

669
00:27:00,506 --> 00:27:04,186
Speaker 9: hats under the radar. You know, that's how I prefer to.

670
00:27:04,226 --> 00:27:07,866
Speaker 8: Be so so listen regarding sake one, you are the

671
00:27:07,946 --> 00:27:09,546
Speaker 8: kind of guy in this organization will say, you know,

672
00:27:09,586 --> 00:27:11,066
Speaker 8: we wish him nothing but the best and all that,

673
00:27:11,466 --> 00:27:13,866
Speaker 8: but really not really because you don't want him to

674
00:27:13,946 --> 00:27:15,426
Speaker 8: have a good access this year on the football field

675
00:27:15,466 --> 00:27:17,306
Speaker 8: of the Eagles, Like that's a rival he's going to.

676
00:27:17,466 --> 00:27:19,666
Speaker 4: He's coming into met life. I think it's week five

677
00:27:19,746 --> 00:27:20,906
Speaker 4: or week six, like pretty early.

678
00:27:21,426 --> 00:27:22,906
Speaker 8: What is that going to be like on that game

679
00:27:23,026 --> 00:27:25,546
Speaker 8: day for you and coach Dab's seeing Saquon I'm in

680
00:27:25,666 --> 00:27:26,866
Speaker 8: the Eagles playing against you.

681
00:27:27,026 --> 00:27:27,706
Speaker 9: Yeah, it'll be tough.

682
00:27:27,746 --> 00:27:30,226
Speaker 10: Always done for the franchise, the number two pick, you know,

683
00:27:30,586 --> 00:27:32,666
Speaker 10: it has a lot of production here and he's a

684
00:27:32,706 --> 00:27:33,106
Speaker 10: great kid.

685
00:27:33,266 --> 00:27:35,626
Speaker 9: Like I love Taquon. Again, there's there's a business side

686
00:27:35,666 --> 00:27:35,826
Speaker 9: to it.

687
00:27:35,946 --> 00:27:37,346
Speaker 10: So yeah, that's why I told him, I wish you

688
00:27:37,386 --> 00:27:39,786
Speaker 10: the best of luck except twice a year, and again,

689
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:42,626
Speaker 10: you can't resign everybody and where we are and building

690
00:27:42,666 --> 00:27:44,026
Speaker 10: the team and is. As much as you like to

691
00:27:44,106 --> 00:27:46,106
Speaker 10: keep everybody, that's just not the reality of the situation.

692
00:27:46,226 --> 00:27:48,106
Speaker 10: So yeah, wish him luck other than two times.

693
00:27:47,906 --> 00:27:49,026
Speaker 9: A year when we play him.

694
00:27:49,186 --> 00:27:50,786
Speaker 1: The cool deal is about this season. It's the one

695
00:27:50,826 --> 00:27:52,826
Speaker 1: hundredth year of the New York Giants. It's a big

696
00:27:52,866 --> 00:27:57,466
Speaker 1: initiative here. Yesterday I practiced Strahan, Victor Cruz, Phil Simms.

697
00:27:57,506 --> 00:27:58,986
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the legends are showing their face.

698
00:27:59,466 --> 00:28:02,426
Speaker 1: This feels like a season of significance for this organization.

699
00:28:02,546 --> 00:28:03,586
Speaker 6: Do you carry that weight as well?

700
00:28:03,826 --> 00:28:03,986
Speaker 3: Yeah?

701
00:28:04,066 --> 00:28:05,026

704
00:28:08,546 --> 00:28:10,786
Speaker 10: of the greats that come out to practice, and my

705
00:28:10,906 --> 00:28:13,546

719
00:28:37,586 --> 00:28:39,346
Speaker 4: we heard the head coach lost like a ton of weights.

720
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:41,466
Speaker 9: Yeah great, Yeah, he looks great. He looks phenomenal.

721
00:28:41,626 --> 00:28:43,626
Speaker 4: Yeah, awesome. Ready to win, he's ready to wain.

722
00:28:43,786 --> 00:28:46,066
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's taking plot. He's now he's big into that.

723
00:28:46,146 --> 00:28:47,666
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, the big plot's going out.

724
00:28:47,866 --> 00:28:51,786
Speaker 1: This Pilotate's place in has gotten such free we're gonna

725
00:28:51,786 --> 00:28:53,426
Speaker 1: be wearing a patch on our shirts.

726
00:28:53,186 --> 00:28:53,266
Speaker 8: Like.

727
00:28:54,746 --> 00:28:57,226
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm hoping he's getting thirty times. I

728
00:28:57,426 --> 00:29:00,546
Speaker 10: hope he's getting some free set that the marketing they.

729
00:29:02,426 --> 00:29:04,826
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly before we let you go.

730
00:29:05,026 --> 00:29:08,266
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones season, let's call it what it is, like,

731
00:29:08,386 --> 00:29:09,826
Speaker 1: he's got a he's got to deliver.

732
00:29:10,106 --> 00:29:11,706
Speaker 6: How are you feeling about DJ as we head into

733
00:29:11,706 --> 00:29:12,826
Speaker 6: this twenty twenty four campaign.

734
00:29:13,026 --> 00:29:14,386
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel good about him again. He had a

735
00:29:14,426 --> 00:29:17,066
Speaker 10: really good day yesterday. He stacked some good days together

736
00:29:17,186 --> 00:29:18,906
Speaker 10: last week. And again it's it's only natural with the

737
00:29:18,946 --> 00:29:21,426
Speaker 10: position to to have a little russ when you're coming

738
00:29:21,466 --> 00:29:23,666
Speaker 10: back off in HL and you know, behind an offensive line.

739
00:29:23,706 --> 00:29:26,586
Speaker 10: He didn't take any team reps this spring, so early

740
00:29:26,666 --> 00:29:29,306
Speaker 10: on he's getting used to, you know, the receivers, the timing,

741
00:29:30,186 --> 00:29:31,906
Speaker 10: some of the stuff we're doing offensively along with the

742
00:29:31,946 --> 00:29:32,546
Speaker 10: offensive line.

743
00:29:32,586 --> 00:29:33,706
Speaker 9: So I think he's really.

744
00:29:33,586 --> 00:29:35,546
Speaker 10: Progressing in the right direction and you know, I think

745
00:29:35,586 --> 00:29:37,706
Speaker 10: with the you know, the upgrades the offensive line and

746
00:29:37,746 --> 00:29:40,346
Speaker 10: some of the offensive weapons, you know, we're expecting big.

747
00:29:40,266 --> 00:29:43,306
Speaker 1: Things when you've got when you've got Dave's going like, yeah,

748
00:29:43,346 --> 00:29:45,186
Speaker 1: we could trade up for Jada and Jayden Daniels or

749
00:29:45,186 --> 00:29:47,466
Speaker 1: you got you know, Mike Kafka saying, I like Drake May,

750
00:29:47,586 --> 00:29:50,346
Speaker 1: like I know, Daniel Jones is a private guy, and

751
00:29:50,386 --> 00:29:52,066
Speaker 1: he's install learning. He's focused, Like do you go out

752
00:29:52,106 --> 00:29:53,546
Speaker 1: of your way to say, hey, there's gonna be stuff

753
00:29:53,546 --> 00:29:55,986
Speaker 1: on this, like just do your job and everything's gonna.

754
00:29:55,786 --> 00:29:56,026
Speaker 3: Be on that.

755
00:29:56,146 --> 00:29:58,426
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think whichever, maybe episode four when I was

756
00:29:58,466 --> 00:29:59,906
Speaker 10: talking to Chris Mary, I mean, that was the exact

757
00:29:59,946 --> 00:30:01,866
Speaker 10: conversation I had with Daniel and you know Dave's and

758
00:30:01,906 --> 00:30:03,866
Speaker 10: I think the communication with the players and shooting him

759
00:30:03,866 --> 00:30:06,706
Speaker 10: straight is very important, so so they're not surprised door

760
00:30:07,146 --> 00:30:09,626
Speaker 10: you know, caught out of the you know, I'll mentioned

761
00:30:09,706 --> 00:30:11,706
Speaker 10: Daniel going to the cafeteria and seeing one of those quarterbacks,

762
00:30:11,746 --> 00:30:13,466
Speaker 10: So we just wanted to be upfront with him. And again,

763
00:30:13,626 --> 00:30:15,866
Speaker 10: some of those conversations were early March. Daniel wasn't even

764
00:30:15,906 --> 00:30:19,586
Speaker 10: running at the time. So again, every patient reacts differently

765
00:30:19,666 --> 00:30:20,826
Speaker 10: to start of threes, and we didn't know if they

766
00:30:20,826 --> 00:30:22,586
Speaker 10: were going to be set back, so we're going to

767
00:30:22,666 --> 00:30:24,826
Speaker 10: it through the process, doing our due diligence the best

768
00:30:24,866 --> 00:30:26,826
Speaker 10: we could. He understood that, did he love it, know,

769
00:30:26,986 --> 00:30:29,266
Speaker 10: but he also understood from our standpoint what we were doing.

770
00:30:29,346 --> 00:30:31,586
Speaker 10: So I think the open lines of communication, you know,

771
00:30:31,706 --> 00:30:33,626
Speaker 10: made it as smooth as it possibly could have. You know,

772
00:30:33,786 --> 00:30:36,466
Speaker 10: obviously it's a little bit uncomfortable, but you know, the

773
00:30:36,506 --> 00:30:38,866
Speaker 10: communication was good on both sides, and he understood where

774
00:30:38,906 --> 00:30:39,426
Speaker 10: we're coming from.

775
00:30:39,506 --> 00:30:42,306
Speaker 8: So it's a very difficult challenge. You're a total pro.

776
00:30:42,546 --> 00:30:44,866
Speaker 8: We always love you coming by. This is season one

777
00:30:45,066 --> 00:30:47,626
Speaker 8: hundred for the New York Giants. That s Joe Shane.

778
00:30:47,706 --> 00:30:50,146
Speaker 8: He's a great GM. He's a beautiful family and had

779
00:30:50,146 --> 00:30:52,546
Speaker 8: a lot of opinions. Yeah, and if you see him

780
00:30:52,586 --> 00:30:54,986
Speaker 8: screaming careening into the field today to separate people, he

781
00:30:55,066 --> 00:30:55,466
Speaker 8: does that too.

782
00:30:55,706 --> 00:30:56,826
Speaker 6: Stay out of the mess.

783
00:30:56,866 --> 00:30:58,666
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm staying out. I'm staying out.

784
00:30:59,066 --> 00:31:01,786
Speaker 2: Joe's always good. I think he's happy Hard Knocks has done.

785
00:31:01,826 --> 00:31:04,146
Speaker 2: He came out pretty much unscathed. But those things will

786
00:31:04,466 --> 00:31:07,626
Speaker 2: come up if a doone'say has an amazing season and

787
00:31:07,746 --> 00:31:09,666
Speaker 2: it wasn't neighbors. We'll say, well, they had all three

788
00:31:09,706 --> 00:31:12,466
Speaker 2: of them in there, and they chose neighbors over a dune. Say,

789
00:31:12,586 --> 00:31:16,306
Speaker 2: if you know, God forbid, Saquon goes on and has

790
00:31:16,306 --> 00:31:19,026
Speaker 2: a two thousand yard season. We've got an entire series

791
00:31:19,106 --> 00:31:20,986
Speaker 2: that showed that the Giants thought they were better off

792
00:31:21,026 --> 00:31:23,386
Speaker 2: without him and saving and spending that money elsewhere. So

793
00:31:23,906 --> 00:31:25,586
Speaker 2: Joe's out there, is on a limb, but I feel

794
00:31:25,666 --> 00:31:27,986
Speaker 2: like he's pretty confident with this team. Now here's the

795
00:31:28,026 --> 00:31:33,106
Speaker 2: PostScript of it all. After practice, everyone breaks it up,

796
00:31:33,186 --> 00:31:36,466
Speaker 2: the Giants and Lions. It was tempers, it was cool whatever,

797
00:31:36,586 --> 00:31:40,106
Speaker 2: but it all chilled out. Lions going sign autographs, Giants

798
00:31:40,146 --> 00:31:42,666
Speaker 2: go and sign autographs. I head in to use the restroom.

799
00:31:42,706 --> 00:31:45,986
Speaker 2: I get stopped real quick and im and I'm like,

800
00:31:45,986 --> 00:31:47,986
Speaker 2: all right, Joe wants to I see Joe Shane. I'm like,

801
00:31:48,026 --> 00:31:51,106
Speaker 2: what's up. He's like, how funny is this? I had

802
00:31:51,386 --> 00:31:54,386
Speaker 2: seven missed calls while I was doing the interview with

803
00:31:54,466 --> 00:31:56,906
Speaker 2: you on Good Morning Football. I'm like, geez, what happened?

804
00:31:56,946 --> 00:31:57,466
Speaker 4: Who was it?

805
00:31:57,626 --> 00:31:57,666
Speaker 3: Like?

806
00:31:57,706 --> 00:31:59,626
Speaker 2: Are you all right? He's like, I didn't know. I'm

807
00:31:59,626 --> 00:32:01,666
Speaker 2: feeling it vibrating. I'm freaking out. I check it out

808
00:32:02,466 --> 00:32:04,466
Speaker 2: and it's his friend, Brandon Bean is the GM of

809
00:32:04,506 --> 00:32:07,066
Speaker 2: the Bills, just messing with him. He was on Live

810
00:32:07,106 --> 00:32:09,066
Speaker 2: TV and thought he would call him seven times just

811
00:32:09,146 --> 00:32:11,826
Speaker 2: to scare him. And he's like, yeah, that's Brandon, that's so,

812
00:32:12,266 --> 00:32:14,186
Speaker 2: that's fun. Those are my guys. Those are the guys

813
00:32:14,186 --> 00:32:16,186
Speaker 2: that I get lunch with at the Combine every year.

814
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:21,426
Speaker 2: It's that trio. It's myself, Brandon Bean and Joe Shane.

815
00:32:21,506 --> 00:32:24,746
Speaker 2: And there's been sitting somewhere in Saint Joseph's College or

816
00:32:24,786 --> 00:32:26,906
Speaker 2: Buffalo wherever his Bills are playing, and he's not worried

817
00:32:26,946 --> 00:32:29,746
Speaker 2: about the team. He's calling Joe Shane seven times because

818
00:32:29,786 --> 00:32:42,786
Speaker 2: he sees his friend on live TV. Some other sightings

819
00:32:42,866 --> 00:32:48,346
Speaker 2: today saw Sean Stellato, the agent to Tommy DeVito. Tommy

820
00:32:48,386 --> 00:32:50,826
Speaker 2: DeVito is still on this team and Shaan Stellato is

821
00:32:50,906 --> 00:32:53,306
Speaker 2: still very much involved. He made his presence known. He

822
00:32:53,306 --> 00:32:55,426
Speaker 2: had a giant Italian flag on the back of his shirt.

823
00:32:55,506 --> 00:32:59,746
Speaker 2: I can't make that up. So Jason mccordy and Devin mccorty, Jason,

824
00:32:59,866 --> 00:33:02,906
Speaker 2: my dear brother, who hosted Good Morning Football for many

825
00:33:02,986 --> 00:33:05,386
Speaker 2: years with me, is no longer worth the show. We

826
00:33:05,586 --> 00:33:09,026
Speaker 2: had a great comp I will not spoil where you

827
00:33:09,026 --> 00:33:10,426
Speaker 2: will be seeing him this year, but you will be

828
00:33:10,466 --> 00:33:12,186
Speaker 2: seeing plenty of him during the season, and you will

829
00:33:12,186 --> 00:33:14,546
Speaker 2: also be seeing him on Sundays as he's doing a

830
00:33:14,626 --> 00:33:18,786
Speaker 2: CBS package and we'll be doing games for CBS on Sundays.

831
00:33:18,866 --> 00:33:21,786
Speaker 2: Happy for Jason. I saw Sean O'Hara, our dear old

832
00:33:21,826 --> 00:33:24,306
Speaker 2: friend from Good Morning Football. He used to always be

833
00:33:24,506 --> 00:33:27,226
Speaker 2: on set with us, no longer a part of it

834
00:33:27,306 --> 00:33:29,786
Speaker 2: as we're moving to La Sean was great chatting with

835
00:33:29,866 --> 00:33:33,306
Speaker 2: him for a bit. And overall, the vibes at the

836
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:37,186
Speaker 2: Giants camp are this, Hey, nobody's talking about us. That's

837
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:39,546
Speaker 2: right where we want to be. And you sense that

838
00:33:39,866 --> 00:33:42,946
Speaker 2: everywhere you go. And this defense watching them against the

839
00:33:43,026 --> 00:33:48,586
Speaker 2: number ones on Detroit Dexter Lawrence Okay, beast and obviously

840
00:33:48,906 --> 00:33:52,426
Speaker 2: you're looking at Keevon Thibodeaux, number five, flying off the edge.

841
00:33:52,986 --> 00:33:55,586
Speaker 2: And then they've got a really, really talented linebacker and

842
00:33:55,666 --> 00:33:58,586
Speaker 2: Bobby Ocariki, who they absolutely love, who is not a

843
00:33:58,626 --> 00:34:01,026
Speaker 2: household name, but who I think led the NFC and

844
00:34:01,066 --> 00:34:03,546
Speaker 2: tackles last year. He's one of those dudes. So they

845
00:34:03,586 --> 00:34:07,626
Speaker 2: are a very good defense, you know, obviously, you pair

846
00:34:07,986 --> 00:34:10,426
Speaker 2: the rookie from last year Banks with what they added

847
00:34:10,506 --> 00:34:14,466
Speaker 2: in the two second and third round picks Drew Phillips

848
00:34:14,666 --> 00:34:17,226
Speaker 2: and Nubin from Minnesota who they're excited about, and then

849
00:34:17,346 --> 00:34:19,426
Speaker 2: just talent all over the place. On defense, the question

850
00:34:19,626 --> 00:34:23,146
Speaker 2: is can this offensive line block anybody? And can they

851
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:25,386
Speaker 2: figure it out as far as it goes putting up

852
00:34:25,386 --> 00:34:27,786
Speaker 2: points on the board. My last interaction as I was

853
00:34:27,906 --> 00:34:29,786
Speaker 2: leaving the building, I popped into use the restroom. I

854
00:34:29,826 --> 00:34:31,826
Speaker 2: got a drink real quick. I had like a twenty

855
00:34:31,866 --> 00:34:35,626
Speaker 2: minute talk with Drew Locke. I'll tell you what Aaron,

856
00:34:35,826 --> 00:34:38,186
Speaker 2: I love Drew Locke. I love Drew Lock as much

857
00:34:38,186 --> 00:34:39,826
Speaker 2: as I want to get on the Daniel Jones. Like

858
00:34:39,906 --> 00:34:41,386
Speaker 2: Drew Locke, he just had a kid. He's got a

859
00:34:41,426 --> 00:34:44,746
Speaker 2: seven month old son. He was awesome. He's talking about

860
00:34:44,786 --> 00:34:47,746
Speaker 2: the transition, he's talking about Dable, he's talking about the offense,

861
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,106
Speaker 2: and he's talking about how he just wants to do

862
00:34:49,186 --> 00:34:51,546
Speaker 2: the best job he possibly can. He's here to compete,

863
00:34:51,546 --> 00:34:53,306
Speaker 2: he's here to do what he does. But like Drew

864
00:34:53,386 --> 00:34:55,306
Speaker 2: Lock has won games in this league, and Drew Lock

865
00:34:55,386 --> 00:34:58,666
Speaker 2: has performed in this league, and I think any talk

866
00:34:58,746 --> 00:35:01,586
Speaker 2: of like a quarterback controversy has been completely nullified. Like

867
00:35:01,626 --> 00:35:03,826
Speaker 2: it is Daniel Jones's team. Everyone knows that, and I

868
00:35:03,866 --> 00:35:07,106
Speaker 2: think Drew's even like ready to understand that. But let's

869
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:09,386
Speaker 2: just say if things get rocky, or if Daniel Jones

870
00:35:09,426 --> 00:35:11,906
Speaker 2: Gotford Big gets injured, like I think Drew lockn win

871
00:35:11,946 --> 00:35:14,546
Speaker 2: football games for this team too. Yesterday I came out

872
00:35:14,586 --> 00:35:15,946
Speaker 2: of the Jets and I was like, that's a team

873
00:35:15,986 --> 00:35:17,346
Speaker 2: that can go to the super Bowl. That's a team

874
00:35:17,386 --> 00:35:19,066
Speaker 2: that can win the AFC Championship. I don't feel that

875
00:35:19,106 --> 00:35:21,706
Speaker 2: way about the Giants. I honestly don't, But I think

876
00:35:21,706 --> 00:35:24,186
Speaker 2: the Giants will be improved and I am excited to

877
00:35:24,266 --> 00:35:26,426
Speaker 2: see what they get out of this. Molik Neighbors. This

878
00:35:26,546 --> 00:35:28,826
Speaker 2: could be a sensation or it could be the classic

879
00:35:28,906 --> 00:35:30,866
Speaker 2: case of a guy who lights it up in July

880
00:35:30,986 --> 00:35:33,146
Speaker 2: and August gets hurt, doesn't do this, doesn't do that,

881
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:34,386
Speaker 2: doesn't adjust to the NFL.

882
00:35:34,466 --> 00:35:36,066
Speaker 1: But like, I don't know if I've ever seen a

883
00:35:36,146 --> 00:35:38,346
Speaker 1: rookie just dominate a practice, especially with all those all

884
00:35:38,386 --> 00:35:39,266
Speaker 1: pros out there, like I did.

885
