1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, Uh, what you thought yesterday when you heard

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: what Joe Judge had to say about how the Giants

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: will never disrespect the game, They'll always play to win. Up,

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: he'll always put you in the best positions obviously kind

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: of talking about the Eagles there. From a player's point

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: of view, what did you think of the message? You know,

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: how will that be received in your locker room? No?

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: I think it was. It was an awesome message by um.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Put It's something he's kind of instilled on us since

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: day one. UM always competing, always being ready to play,

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: always putting us in the right position to win games. Um.

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: I think it was just an awesome, awesome way to

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: UM go about it. And then if I could change

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: gears here for a second. Playoffs are coming up. You're

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: familiar with the number one seed in the NFC. Uh,

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: do you want them to win the Super Bowl? Is

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: there a part of you that's like, no, don't don't

18
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: win it without me? Like, and what have you thought

19
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: of the season? Aaron Rodgers is head. Oh No, I mean,

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: was UM gonna root for them? Especially guys on the team.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: UM just a great group of UM people, especially on

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: defense side. Offenside everyone in that building. UM, so yeah,

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I'll be rooting for him, watching watching them play. And

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: Aaron's been lights out UM all season. I think the

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: city has fifty total touchdowns and crazy amount of yards

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: just UM playing at an m v P UM level

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: this year, and so it's been fun to watch Chris

28
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: Hey Blake um hey a hundred and fifty one tackles.

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: UM talk about your season, how maybe you can improve

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: if possible, And was the first year, your first year

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: here in New York everything you expected it to be?

32
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean UH, I was hoping it would

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: be a little more opened up without COVID happening. UM.

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: I was hoping COVID wasn't happening so I'd be able

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: to experience more UM. But overall season was UM just

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: and happy with how I played. UM always obviously wanted

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: to get better. We're gonna focus on I'm just improving

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: on all aspects of my game. UM this offseason. UH

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: to make fifty fifty two tackles and UM X, Y

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: and Z more place for my team to help us win. UM.

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: And then overall, UM just excited for this group of

42
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: guys and excited to get get back to work for

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: the season, and just to follow up, like, how do

44
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: you feel about Graham getting head coaching opportunities? Oh? Yeah,

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of one of those, uh, I don't know,

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: bitter sweet things. I'm like, all right, Pat like, I'm

47
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: kind of that like stage five clinger girlfriends. Um. I'm like, yeo,

48
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to leave me. I'm gonna find you. Um,

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: but no, I'm excited for him. He's extremely um smart coach.

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: She's extremely amazing coach. Um. And it's just I'm happy

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: for him. Thank Hey, Blake, Um a little bit more

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: on hum your defensive coordinator. Obviously you and he have this,

53
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, this synergy together with the times this year

54
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: when things were complex, he was putting in a lot

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: of things where you look back at it now and say, yeah,

56
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: the whole group really didn't get it enough. And does

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: that give you some confidence going into next season that

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: with this group largely intact, we're gonna get it even

59
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: more next year. Well, I think with every team, especially

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: having a new defensive coordinator, you have those kind of

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: little um bumps in the roads and things like that. Um. Well,

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: I think overall throughout the year he did a really

63
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: really good job at getting us to understand it. Um,

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: understand what he's looking for. Um. But like you said,

65
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: jump in from that year one to year two. It's

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome to kind of find like finite details, um,

67
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: and just understand even more what he's looking for and

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: be able to play maybe one or two steps quicker

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: across the board as a group. And and when we're

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: largely um, a great deal of the defense could return intact.

71
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: You know a lot of defensive backs, linebackers. You gotta

72
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: sign some defensive line than obviously. But um, what is

73
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: the potential of this group moving forward if if it's

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: mostly intact? Oh yeah, I think very high potential of

75
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: being a great group, just like we started showing throughout

76
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the later part of the season. Um. And it's just

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: an awesome group of guys that come to work every

78
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: single day. UM. And I know we're gonna continue doing that.

79
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: And as long as we keep doing that, we're gonna

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: keep proving to ourselves and everyone else that we could

81
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: be a top defense in this league. Thank you. Like

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: coming from a winning organization, how close do you think

83
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: the Giants are in terms of turning the corner right now?

84
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 1: And becoming a winning football team. Oh, it's extremely close.

85
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: I think Coach Judge kind of hit it, um when

86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: he's talking about it making in building that foundation of

87
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: the type of culture we're gonna have in this building,

88
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: um for years to come, as long as co Judges

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: are head coach, which I believe is gonna be a

90
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: long time. UM. And it's so it's just it's awesome

91
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: to see. And I think you look back at all

92
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: the games we had this year, the close games, the

93
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: little in there, just making sure we we go in

94
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: the next season, UM, winning those situations, winning those crucial

95
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: crucial points in those games to uh pull those uh

96
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: close games out. UM. Look like Georgia. Hey, Buh, you

97
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: talked about that foundation and culture. Joe said that you

98
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: guys build. I'm wondering what do you view that as

99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: and if you could possibly provide a little context to

100
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: what that kind of means. Yeah, I think the main

101
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: thing is it's a group that that just comes to

102
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: work every day, no matter what situation it is. Um.

103
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: Uh it's an amazing day, bad day, good day, even day, um, raining, sunny, snow, UM.

104
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: Just a group that's gonna compete every single chance they

105
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: get UM to to be better UH individually and then

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: as a group. UM. And I think that's just been

107
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: the great part of coming to work every day, that

108
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: you know you have to bring that a game UM

109
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: at every aspect, whether it's in the meeting room, training room, cafeteria,

110
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: whatever it is, everyone's talking ball, everyone's excited to to

111
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: go out there on the practice field and show what

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: they've they've been working on UM to improve that given day.

113
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Does he do it in a different way than than

114
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: you saw in the past in Green Bay? Um? Yeah.

115
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I think every coach has different ways of kind of

116
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: portraying it. UM. I think that one thing coach Judge

117
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: does really well is he can pinpoint every aspect of

118
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: what an individual is doing, whether it's the punter, UM,

119
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the water boy, the middle linebacker, whatever it is. He's

120
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: able to pinpoint exactly where you started at and why

121
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: it ended. Your result ended a certain way it did, UM,

122
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and it shows you exactly whether it's in the meeting room,

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: he took these notes on the walkthrough, you did this

124
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: type of thing on your rep UM. Then all sudden

125
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: in seven on seven you did this and then this

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: resulted in the team period. Why you failed that rep

127
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: or did something positive in that rep. And I think

128
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: that's where it started opening my eyes, UM, to see

129
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: those little things that can all have that kind of

130
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: domino effects leading into that that played during the game

131
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: and learned Like Leonard Williams eleven and a half sacks

132
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: this year, UM, you know is a free agent. How

133
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: important is it for you guys to bring a player

134
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: like that back who can disrupt and sack the quarterback? No,

135
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean Leonard Williams is one of my favorite players

136
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: of all time. UM. He's extremely hard worker. UM had

137
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: an amazing season this year. And yeah, I mean I'm

138
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: excited to hope to work with him UH for years

139
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: to come. UM, but I guess kind of at that

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that waiting stage for now, UM, and yeah, I would

141
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: love him back. I did also ask about Dalvin Tomlinson too,

142
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: What do you what's so valuable about Dalvin that UM

143
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: would want you to have him come back as well? Yeah.

144
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: I think he's probably one of the smartest fall players

145
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: I've been around, UM, just in the aspect of UM

146
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: understanding where it needs to be, what he needs to do, UM,

147
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: and then also add on the physicality portion, UM to

148
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: be able to disrupt the line of scrimmage and all

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Um, it allows me to to make

150
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of tackles. UM, So I definitely uh want

151
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: to want to keep a guy like that around. And

152
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: um also an amazing teammate, amazing leader, obviously one of

153
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: our captains. UM. So yeah, there's there's new most reasons

154
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,920

00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: was like playing next to take Crowder. He's obviously a

157
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: guy that came in as a Mr. Irrelevant and uh

158
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: played quite a bit and you know, I had like

159

00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: a great player. One of the actually told him. I

162
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,800

163
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: been around in this league. UM. Just work ethic wise,

164
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: UM intelligence, UM play skill, playability, just the aspect to

165
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040

00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: and also helped me out that on the field as

167
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: quickly as he did. He was one of the guys

168
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: that I trusted out there UM to kind of calm

169
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: me down if I ever had any moments of UM

170
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: kind of need and so it's really cool to see

171
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,800
