1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: All right, we're just gonna take a quick time out

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: from talking about the Yankees because Kyle Rudolph is on

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: the line. This Giant's Report is brought to you by

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Stop and Shop, the official supermarket of the New York Giants. Hey,

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Kyle's Moose and Maggie here. How you doing. I'm doing well.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: How are you guys? We're doing great, Thanks so much

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: for joining us. Obviously, tough loss thirty eight to eleven

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: against the Rams. You guys are now one in five.

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, I want to just circle into something where

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Joe Judge said he challenged the team at halftime. You know,

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: did something like that have to be said? Kyle was

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: the team in danger of like packing it in at

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: that point and needed Judge to really like get you

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: guys back on the same page. I don't think so.

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing, you know, his message was, uh,

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, forget the scoreboard, go out and start the

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: second half like a zero zero and uh, you know,

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: let's just for thirty minutes. We did not play the

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: style of football that you know is our standard and

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: we're accustomed to playing. But uh, at halftime, in that moment,

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: there's nothing that we can do about it. At that point.

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: You can't go back and fixed the first half. So

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, let's go out in the second half and

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: play the style of football that we're accustomed to, uh

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: in the style of football that we were expected to

26
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: play going into the game. Kyle, how is that room

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: right now with this team being one of five? Well,

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I think everyone's frustrated because no one

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: thought at this point in the season, you know, with

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: our expectations, with the work you put in all off season,

31
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: all training camp. You know, we do all of that

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: from April on to go out and win football games.

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: And that's how you're evaluated in this league by wins

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: and losses, and that's all that matters. Kyle Rudolph is

35
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: joining us from the New York Giants. You know, unfortunately,

36
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: guys have been hit by injuries and specifically in the

37
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: receiving corps with you know, Kadarius Tony leaves the game

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. How are you surprised you haven't

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: been targeted more once the Giants and since the Giants

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: have been losing weapons week after week. You know, for me,

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I can't control what my role is in the past game.

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, I've said that all along, and you know,

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: it's something that I've learned about my career, especially in

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: the tight end position, where you know, it's one where

45
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, you can be heavily involved in in the

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: past protection role or you can be heavily involved in

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: the past receiving role. And you know, certainly I've been

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: more involved in the past protection side of things through

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: the first six weeks of the season. You know, you

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: talk about injuries. You mentioned the receiving corps, Well, you

51
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: certainly could look at the offensive line as well. And

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: that's just what I've been asked to do. That's what

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: they've they've asked me to do here through the first

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: six weeks. And uh, you know, I can't control that.

55
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: I just gotta go out and uh, you know, be

56
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: better at that and and and try to do the

57
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: best I can. You know, Kyl, the the offensive line

58
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: without Andrew Thomas being a part of it, you know,

59
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: has has kind of really struggled. And you know, You've

60
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: been a very good catching and blocking tight end over

61
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: the course of your career. Speak to Thomas a little bit.

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I know, your first year here with the Giants and

63
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: and being a teammate of Andrew. But you know, how

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: impressive have you been about the young left tackle here

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: for the Giants? He's been extremely impressive, you know, for um,

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: you know the first day we put the pads on

67
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: in training camp, uh, you know, going and practicing against

68
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: teams like the Patriots and the Browns, and and just

69
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: seeing him work all through training camp and then you know,

70
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: you see the success that he had through you know,

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: really the first four weeks of the year before he

72
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: got banged up. Just you know, it's amazing what you

73
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: can do as an offense when you don't even have

74
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: to worry about the left side of the line because

75
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: you know Andrew will just take care of that. Uh.

76
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: And it creates so many more opportunities for the other

77
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: four in the tight end on the other side, because

78
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, you just erase one guy off off the

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: picture because you know Andrews got that. You know, I

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: want to ask you, Kyle, about about Leonard Williams and

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, talked about the fans and you know caught him.

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, I got to ask a question about fans booing. Um,

83
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: you can understand. I mean, Kyle, I know, your first

84
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: year here in New York. You could understand. I'm not

85
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: telling that everyone should be booed, but you can understand

86
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: their Giants fans frustrating. They want to they want to

87
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: see you guys win, just like you want to win. Absolutely. Uh.

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: You know I would, I would move myself to Uh.

89
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's unacceptable where we're at here

90
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: six weeks through this the season and um, you know

91
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: we're the New York Football Giants. There there's a high

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: expectation for us, um, certainly much higher than you know

93
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: we're reaching right now. And you know that's on us.

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: We got to come together as a football team. In

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: my eleven years in the league, this is one of

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: the closest groups I've ever been around. And you know,

97
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: we need to start playing that way. Uh. We need

98
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: to start playing complementary football. The offense helping the defense,

99
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: the defense helping special team, special teams helping the offense. Uh.

100
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: And until we get to that point, uh, you know,

101
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: we're we're going to continue to struggle. But like I said,

102
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: as soon as we get to where we're playing that

103
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: complementary football. You can go back to the last eleven

104
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: minutes in New Orleans and see that. I think that's

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: a great example of the potential of this team. We

106
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: just gotta go out and play that way for sixty minutes.

107
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: You know, Kyle, Players often talk about the fact that,

108
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, coaches not only have to have the questions,

109
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: but they have to have the answers right and tell

110
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: the player why and the reason why right that you

111
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: need to do something. But you know, your first year

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: under Joe Judge, do you have any any reservations that

113
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: he has the answers and that this team will turn around,

114
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: an organization will turn around. Absolutely, you know I just

115
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: mentioned you know, the the recipe is right there in

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: front of us. You know, we we showed it down

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. We've showed glimpses of it, you know,

118
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: throughout the first six weeks of the season. Um, we've

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: also showed that when we don't do things the right way,

120
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: when we don't do things the way we're coached to

121
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: do them, what the result is. So again, like this, coaches,

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: coach and players play and until we go out and

123
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: play better, Uh, it doesn't matter. Kyle Rudolph of the

124
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: New York Giants. Kyle, thanks so much for the time today.
