1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Dougging. Hey, what's up, t Mac. What's going on? How

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: you doing? Man? Good? Uh? First off, just have to ask,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, with your health history, Uh, just what's your

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: level concern with you know, coaching in this environment. Did

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: you give any thoughts and to not coaching this season?

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I do my best to keep mind, my

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: body in the best shape that I can put the

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: best things in my body. So I'm not really concerned

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: about it. Just excited to be back, be around the guys,

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: coach them up, trying to you know, take that next

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: step getting better every day, you know. So that's that's

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: to me, that's the most I'm not really worried about

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: the help bar. I just gotta take care of myself.

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: I could run into issues at home right. And then

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: just as far as, uh, you know, evaluating returners without

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: preseason games, are you gonna be able to go by

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: doing that? You figured out you I don't know, man,

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: We just out there and coached them up, you know,

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure or we'll we'll do some things, uh to

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: evaluate them throughout the process. As far as just catching

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: balls and just you know, just going through the process

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: of practicing and and see who's doing what you know

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: how that is that that return game is different. Uh,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you don't know until you get into a game and

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: you put a guy in the situation. So we won't

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: have games. So that's just the reality of of our

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: situation and we just gotta make do with what we have.

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Thanks Kyle Leonard A team mack up. You're well, Um,

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: two part or one related to the health. Are you

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: staying in the team hotel? And do you have to

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: take any additional precautions um in this current environment? Um?

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: And then the second part, Uh, well, I'll ask you

33
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: the second one after this time. Okay, I'm like everybody else.

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm I stay at home and I try and uh

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: isolate myself as much as possible. Uh literally get in

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: my car, drive to work, go to work, getting my car,

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: drive home, and go right upstairs to my part. So

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I I tried my best. Every once in

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: a while, I might have to stop at the store

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: or something, but for the most part, you know, I'm

41
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: here at the office and I'm in my part. So

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: that's that's the only way I could. You know, I

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: could do it was I was doing the same thing

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: at home when I was used my second part was

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, how disappointing obviously? Was it that Aldrick Roses

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: isn't a part of the team anymore? I know that

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: was a player, of course, you you put a lot

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: of time into coaching. Yeah, I mean I love Aldric

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: to death, but you know it's a new day, new opportunity.

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Aldrick is gonna be fine. Uh. He knows how I

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: feel about him, and you're right, it was disappointed. Thanks

52
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: all right, A T. Mac. Good to see you picking

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: up on what Pat just said. The opposite side of

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Aldrick Rosass Chandler captain zero where what what I experience

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: you had with him? Why was he the right guy

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: for you guys coming out of coming out of retirement?

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what he was even up to the

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, I mean the channel is a guy

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: who was a veteran kicker in this league. Uh, he's

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: performed at a high level before and we're just hoping

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: to get him back to that level. He's he's a

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: hard workers, very conscientious and it's just you know, his availability.

63
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Availabile was there and we took advantage of bringing him

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: in and hopefully we can get him rolling and get

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: him up before. But he's still training like for the

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: last year on his own or is he just starting

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: from scratch again now? Yeah, he's still trending. Thanks that.

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean you you were in Carolina and James Bradberry's

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: first two years there. I was curious what you remember

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: about him from back then and how excited you were

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: to bring him in when the Giants signed him the

72
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: South season. Very excited for for James any organization. Good

73
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: man works his tail off, very quiet and unassuming, and

74
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: he's a he has a working like mentality. You know,

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: he comes in, he does his job. He's like a

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, a little church mouse in the room. You

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: don't even know he's there, you know. And uh, great kid,

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to have it here. Thanks Emory, coach,

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: hope you're well, um. Question, with the reps being what

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: they are, where is the biggest challenge you see four

81
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: guys coming in trying to get acclimated to playing special

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: teams as far as the coverage standpoint. Yeah, that's tough, man,

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's hard because these young guys,

84
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: you know, normally they get they get the speed of

85
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: the game, uh during the preseason game, so they get

86
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: just a little taste of it. You know, this year

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be hard for them to to get that

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: experience because you don't have that game like intensity, you know,

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's just tough that we're just

90
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: gotta make do what we've got and in order to,

91
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: you know, we have to do a good job. Was

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: trying to simulate that in practice so we know exactly

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: what we're doing and evaluating you guys. Lombardo, Hey team,

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: good to see him. Hey value going good good. Um,

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious with Joe Judge's Special Teams background. Um, what

96
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: his influence has been on your group in particular, and

97
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: everybody talks about, you know, special teams coaches having that

98
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: experience commanding a room and commanding the whole team. Um,

99
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: just what he's been like in that regard since he's

100
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: taken over, since you guys have actually been able to

101
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: get together as a team in the last Joe has

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: been awesome. Man, It's it's been I can't even begin

103
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: to tell you. It's been very enlightening and he has

104
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: been outstanding. So I just look forward to getting the

105
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: season going and uh, just watching him grows as a

106
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: new head coach and just see how far even take us.

107
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Has there been any sort of influence that he's brought

108
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: with him in his time putting into apply to the

109
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Giant special teams this year it again, you broke up

110
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Now, it's curious if he's brought

111
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: anything in terms of philosophies with the way New England

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: runs teams. You know, they brought in Nate ebner Um

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: that he's kind of imparted on you to bring to

114
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: the Giants this year. Yeah, you know, it's it's one

115
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: of those things where it's kind of uh perfect marriage.

116
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, Joe has a ton of experience and has

117
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: a ton of success in the league, and we just

118
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: sit down and just come up with the things that

119
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: we feel like they are good for the for the unit,

120
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: and we just implement them. It's it's not any I mean,

121
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: it's an easy conversation. It's it flows great and we

122
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: just put the stuff together that's going to help the

123
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: team the best. So we put it all out there.

124
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: Guys love it to eat it up, and we just

125
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: go out there and just just just do it on

126
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: the field. You know, practiced, walk through it, you know,

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: all those different things. It's just it's weird, it's it's

128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: it's a really good situation. Well, I'll take three more Patty,

129
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Kim and Schwes to to end it with the Matt Patty, Hey, coach,

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm doing well? Thanks? I have two

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: questions for you. You were when you were looking at

132
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: kickers after you know, releasing all track. How important was

133
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: it for those kickers to have had experience kicking in

134
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the northeast winds? Are you you always want to have

135
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: somebody who who's had experience kicking in the northeast. You

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: know that was huge and uh, you know, obviously getting Chandler,

137
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: who's who's actually kicked in this exact stadium, h was

138
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: a benefit. And then my other question has to do

139
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: with the college tape. You know, we we we mentioned

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: earlier that it's going to be kind of tricky. There

141
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: are some things that you can do to evaluate returners

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I know the speed of the game is

143
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: a little faster at the NFL level, but in this case,

144
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: how how good of an indicator is going is the

145
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: college tape going to be on these return it is

146
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: that you brought in You're gonna have to lean heavily

147
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: on it, but we all know there's a transition between

148
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, college and the pros, and uh, again, it's

149
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a difficult situation for all of us as

150
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: evaluators to be able to make sure that we're making

151
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: the right decisions. But that's just the situation where we're in.

152
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: We've gotta make new with it where all everybody in

153
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: the league's in the same situation. So you know, we're

154
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: not the you know, we're not the only team in

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: the league that has to deal with this process. So

156
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: we're just trying to find the best way to handle it. Thanks, coach. Yeah, yeah, Hey,

157
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Tea Mac, can you hear me? Okay, yes, good, Um,

158
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you've kind of touched on this, But but I guess

159
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: i'll give it a world since I have a chance

160
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: to ask you a question here, especially with young players

161
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: who often make their way to the NFL through special teams, Um,

162
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: how will you allow them to reach a competitive level

163
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: where you can really evaluate them knowing they won't have

164
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: those preseason games. But but obviously there's some karen concern

165
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: that you have when players at your own practices get

166
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: too intact. Yeah, we just it's a fine line, you know,

167
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: we just have to be able to wash them in

168
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the drill work and and the the stuff that we'll

169
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: do simulate in practice that will simulate games. And we

170
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: just have to, you know, just to put our our

171
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: best foot forward as evaluators. I mean it's it's hard.

172
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: I mean it's I'm not going to separate and say

173
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: it's easy. But again, everybody in league got to do

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: with the same situation. So we'll simulate as much as

175
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: we can and practice the speed of everything as much

176
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: as we can, and practice and we'll come over the

177
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: best fifty three at the end of the year and

178
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: it's training game. Thank you, last one here Schwartz. Hey, Tom,

179
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: it's good to see you. Um. Good. Um. A couple

180
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: of things. Number One, you've always worked for a head

181
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: coach who has been an offensive or defensive guy. You

182
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: mentioned a little bit about Joe Judge, just about the

183
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: dynamic of you know, special teams. Zoe has been kind

184
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: of your thing, and the head coaches kind of leave

185
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: you alone. I guess does Joe Judge put more? It

186
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: is the dynamic difference because he is a special teams guy,

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: not an offensive defensive guy. And just number two, real quick,

188
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Nate Ebner, who's been a good special

189
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: teams player for a long time. Joe is Joe's a

190
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: football coach. Let's let's make no mistake about that. He's

191
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: not just a special team's coach. He is a football

192
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: coach and he coaches it all. And that's the you know,

193
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I enjoy about watching it work.

194
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Uh But like I said earlier, it's easy for me,

195
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: Like I'm a I'm a team guy, and whatever's gonna do,

196
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: whatever's gonna be best for the team, We're gonna do

197
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: it regardless of the situation. And it's it's been really good.

198
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's almost like a perfect marriage. I mean,

199
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: is there are no issue like, Okay, how we want

200
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: to do it? Do it this way? Okay, we wanna

201
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: do this one. I mean, it's it's it's pretty easy,

202
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: you know. So I again, I don't have any issue

203
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: with it. And I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying the process. And

204
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: one thing about Nate Evner, I mean, he's a real

205
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: special team specialist, isn't. Yeah, Nate's awesome. He's a good man,

206
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: works extremely hard, he's a great teammate, and he comes

207
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: with he brings a lot to the table. He comes

208
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: with a lot of experience. Uh, he's really good with

209
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: the young players. And again, first things first with him,

210
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: he's a team guy. So thy thanks ye, thanks T Matt. Guys,
