1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Well, John said a couple of minutes ago that he's 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: looking at the season. The best thing that could happen 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: is Eli plays every game and Daniel sits on the 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: bench all season. Uh your thoughts, Um, yeah, I mean 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: I guess, um, you know, my my my mindsets to 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: go and play well and when when football games and 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: have a great year. So that's uh, that's what I'm 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: working towards. Did you guys take anything out of that 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: uh first series against the Jets the other day? Uh? Yeah, 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean not not a whole lot, just you know, 11 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: one little uh you know, bootleg and two runs. So um, 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: obviously I had a penalty on second places. Never never good. 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think this week we'll you know, 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: going we'll get more playing time this week, going to 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: get a good you know, good defense and a good 16 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: team in Chicago, and so um, you want to go 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: out there and you know, get some get some first 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: downs and move the ball. Scort somepoints. Have you a 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: personal objectives changed in terms of what you want to 20 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: accomplish in the preseason games? Is your career has gone on? Uh? No, 21 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: I think you you you always want to go out 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: there and perform well and make good decisions. I think, um, um, 23 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's I think preseason. Uh, it's important for 24 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks just because things for things are alive now. The 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: rush is live. It's a it's it's real, it's gonna 26 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: be um. You know, you don't have to throw it 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: in some um and you know some more you know, 28 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: awkward situations you're feeting not always said in different things. 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: I think it's good to get work on that and 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: and just you know, feeling the rush and moving around 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: and and making good decisions with with that. John talked 32 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: a little bit about hound sort of like you know, 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: when you're at a time right now wait till like 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to see what happens kind of deal, and you're obviously 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: in the last year in your contract, how do you 36 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: approach that and what's your mindset towards that? Oh yeah, 37 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I think my mindset is again just focused on this 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: year and uh, you know, going trying to have a 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: great year, play well when when football games and and uh, 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: you know take it from there where you go right 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: with having to wait until the offseason no matter what 42 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: happens here just says see what your futures. Yeah, I 43 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: think that's uh, that's that's fair and and um, you know, 44 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: I've never been you know, one that's ever concerned or 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: are worried about contracts and things like that, So uh, 46 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: I fair. I won't start now if you could define 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: a successful season for yourself and for the team, yeah, 48 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: look like, well, it's making the playoffs, you know, to 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: start with, and and then you know, making a run 50 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And obviously the goal is always, um 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, when went a championship and you can't do that, um, 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: you know without without making the playoffs. And obviously I 53 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: think the goals you know from you know, was win 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: the division and and go from there. Do you feel 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: any pressure with having us such a high draft pick 56 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: behind you know? I mean I think, uh, you know, 57 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: and in this job, you know, it's the pressures you know, 58 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: to go out there and perform at a high level 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: to win football games. That's that's that's the point. You 60 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: can't worry about, you know, what other guys are doing 61 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: behind you and what's going on there. So my my 62 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: mindset is to uh, you know, is to prepare each 63 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: and every week to get better, uh, to make the 64 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: guys around me better, to try to you know, um, 65 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, just you know, make good decisions, play at 66 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: a high level and and put the team in a 67 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: situation within you know aggressive Tho wasn't you know you 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: were able to sit there much what he did the 69 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: other day. I mean in his first game experience it 70 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: all here in the NFL level to do that. Yeah, 71 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: you know he Daniel came in and had a great 72 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: drive and through the ball actively got completions a nice 73 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: touchdown throw. So, uh, it was a good drive by him. 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: In the offense. Do you see any of using why now, 75 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: barring anything really unforeseen that you went the offense cannot 76 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: sought out really fast and makes it the second year 77 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: and it there's some veterans that's that's flying statilized that 78 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: that you can't get really use the ground running. Um, 79 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: you know that's obviously that's that's the goal. I think 80 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: we have. We have a good, good squad um on 81 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: on the offensive side, and you know feel like yeah, 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: when we we you know, eyes know what we're doing, um, 83 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: and we should be able to go out there and 84 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: performer you know, performer jobs and move the ball, score 85 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: score points and and make some big plays and uh, 86 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, whether it will make explosive plays or just 87 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: um you know, just you know, thinking and duncan and 88 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: moving down down, you know, down the field kind of 89 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: be able to do each way. And so I think 90 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: that's um, you know, the way you gotta play football 91 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of you know, take what the defense has given, 92 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you make good decisions and you know, run the ball, 93 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: play action and convert on third downs. One thing you 94 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: could lose before the start is possibly gold different here 95 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: and you guys are sitting here waiting if that does 96 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: unfold that way, Like what would you be losing. I 97 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: mean you've had a while now and kind of see 98 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: what he brings to the table. Yeah, you know, I 99 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: think we'll just you know, kind of see how that, 100 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: see how that plays out in the next few weeks, 101 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: and then you know, kind of take it from there. 102 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: I guess. May maybe a bit of question is what 103 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: does Golden bring to this office. You've been working with him. Yeah, 104 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: I think Golden's just a smart player and and um uh, 105 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna be in the right spot. He's 106 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, got a good feel for the zones and 107 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: you know how to get open versu from techniques and stuff. 108 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: So just a veteran guy. But also you know, we 109 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: hadn't seen seen uh a bunch of it, you know 110 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: with him here the Giants, but it run after catch 111 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: historically has been very good and just a playmaker. So um, 112 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully uh um, you know, things work out 113 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and he'll be there all year with the offensive line. 114 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: Have you seen better protection in so far in the 115 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: training camp seems that way. And I think obviously, um, 116 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: you know, once you get you know, the live action 117 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: is kind of you know, tells you know, tells them 118 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: more realistic kind of approach to things. And you know, 119 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: we got blitzes and everybody on the same page and 120 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: so but I feel like, uh, you know, they're uh 121 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: they're on the same page or making good calls or 122 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: in the right spots and and picking up a lot 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: of the um, you know, the blitzes and and and 124 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: and just sound, you know, just sounding and they're you know, 125 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: passing things off, communicating all the things that that the 126 00:05:53,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: defense lines doing on the defensives take in shape this year. Uh, 127 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like they've you know, they've done 128 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: you know, I think every time in training camp, uh, 129 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of go back and forth. Some 130 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: days offense has a good day someday defense you know, 131 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: has a good day, and so it's just you know, 132 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: that's just kind of football just depends on sometimes just 133 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: what plays you have call verse coverages. But I feel like, um, 134 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, uh they you know, they're doing a good 135 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: job and making plays, and so I feel like they'll 136 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: have a good year. I talked about how, I mean 137 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: like all of his quarterbacks to play at least in 138 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the first three preseason games, and what's the preference for 139 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: you workload of bias to sort of build yourself up 140 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: and and be ready for you feel as necessary. Uh 141 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't know if I have 142 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: an exact formula to that. You know, I want to, 143 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: you know, i'd like to, um, you know, get out 144 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: there and yeah I have some have some drives and 145 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: just you know, get the field the game, um, you know, 146 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: and just get some you know, get things going, get 147 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: some long drives going and kind of you know, uh 148 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, you know, face all those storting just the 149 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: stances and third downs some um you know, uh you know, 150 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: lives those you get a two minute drive and those things. 151 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: I think those things are are good to get into 152 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: in a somewhere in a preseason, Um, you know, preseason 153 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: games some more. We don't like to be Monday morning quarterbacks. 154 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: On the first play you had the other night, did 155 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: you not see Rhett or was that something you know 156 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: I saw him? Just to kind of make a decision 157 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: whether it's to make that make that throw with a 158 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: with a corner kind of running back there, Um, you 159 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: have figured with him, you know running back is you know, 160 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: maybe Bill hit the over route, but you know just 161 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, uh, looking back, you know it's kind of 162 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: one of those you know, maybe you could have thrown it. Um, 163 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: and so hey, you gotta make those decisions in football 164 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: sometimes that they know that maybe's you know, turn out 165 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: good and maybe they don't.
