1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Practice yesterday, we we we heard that it it got

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: off to a little bit of a rocky start. How

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: was it today in your opinion? UM, rocky start? You know,

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: it just wasn't up to the standard. Um. You know,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: but we know on Sundays there's all Monday, there's no

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: do over. But today I think we came out focused,

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: great attention to detail, and you know, I think we're

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: stacked another great day. Bro. How do you guys balance

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's been a while since y'all have played.

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: How do you balance um, coming out with enough energy

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: but not coming out too overhyped to where you know,

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: you start making mistakes and getting sloppy from all the excitement.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: At this point in our lives, I think we we

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: all know what it takes to get the job done.

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: I think that you know that excitement before games has

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: always been in us, you know, me since Hot Warner. UM.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: So you know, every guy is different. Everybody has different

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: processes that they go through our game day. But you know,

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: we all want to come out knowing what we have

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: to do, ready to play at a high level. U.

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: The other day, coach Judge said that he wouldn't rule

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: out or you know, as said he wouldn't rule out

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: using you on offense. How would you feel about having

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: a role with the offensive production this year. I'll do

25
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to win. Would that be fun for you?

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: You know, since that you played some in Michigan? Absolutely, absolutely,

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: definitely obviously loving losing Xavier back there. Now you have

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Julian besides you. Is there anything you can do with

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: all the new faces back there to kind of get

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: everybody you know, on the same page already heading into

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Monday night. Well, in this business, you know, is guy's

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: always in and out the door, and it's kind of

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of easy to jail together because

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: we all know we're all here for one common goal

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: and as to win. Um, you know, football is football.

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: You know, things don't change, just the terminologies and and

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: things like that. Dude, So you know it's not as challenging,

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: but you know, it does take a little while to

39
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: build that cohesion. But I think we're doing a great job.

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: And obviously you spent two years in the same same

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: division has been just what kind of challenge and seeing

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: that offense present, I mean, Men has been doing it

43
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: for a while, you know, I'm sure you know, you

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: guys don't need me to tell you what what threat

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: c polls. But you know, big strong arm. You know,

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: he's more mobile than most people think it tough, willing

47
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: to sit in the pocket, and he extends plays and

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: those guys do a great job getting open for him.

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So you know, you know, we have a tall task

50
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: at hand, but we're ready for First off, how to

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: feel with your name captain? And second are excited that

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: McCage he basically, you know, told us the other day that, hey,

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna be using a point return a lot this year,

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: kind of like a flesh practice Michigan days. How did

55
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: that feel when you heard that? Well, me, personally, I

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, being named captain is one of

57
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the highest honors in football, especially voted voted by your peers. Um,

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: so it's a tremendous honor. You know, I take great

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: pride in that. It was actually, you know, a goal

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: of mine my rookie year, to become, you know, a captain.

61
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I know what it means where that

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: see on your chest, especially here in New York. You know,

63
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna do my my due diligence to

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: make sure I buy by that and uh, you know

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,000

Speaker 1: Thanks you, Bro, Cannavan, Adrian Brill. Uh, you're a Jersey guy,

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: and I know you're probably only like five years old,

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: but does not eleven hold any special significance because of

73
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're in the area and this area was hit.

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: had you know, their dad and there their uncle, um,

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: their sisters. So you know, I definitely remember this day

Speaker 1: very vividly, um, and you know it definitely being from here,

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: it definitely does hit a little bit, you know, harder,

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: but you know, I definitely want to send my condoles

Speaker 1: time you heard about it, or I was actually in school, um,

86
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: and they stopped school and you could kind of see

87
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: the smoke, like from across the across the Hudson UM

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: safe to say. They let us out early. UM, and

89
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,240

Speaker 1: after that. Thanks thanks for those thoughts to bro. What, um,

94
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: what's it having the football in your hands? But you

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: know you don't get to do that very often as

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: a as a safety and a defensive back. Um, but

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: when you when you do get the ball in your hands,

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: what's does something change inside of you? Definitely? You know

99
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: you have to have an offensive mindset. Um. For me,

100
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: I get an exhilarating feeling. I don't know, it's just

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: something about having the ball in your hands. You know,

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: the the importance on it. You know, you basically have

103
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: faded a team in your hands and it's up to

104
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: you whether you do something positive with it or you

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: know you do something negative. So you know, just that

106
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: just that adrenaline that it gets my nervous system going

107
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, um, it's it's something I like to do

108
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: that I look forward to, so you know, it brings

109
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: it brings good feelings. To answer your question,
