I am definitely in Florida. 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: This is this is a family trip. I'm assuming I said, 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: Julie is going to see his family. He's taking them 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: away doing something. I am. Of course, it's a long season, 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, now that's that's that's great. I mean 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: at this point, I mean a week eight of the NFL. Actually, 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: now it's week nine. You guys are six and two. 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: You basically have your control of your destiny, like you 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: gotta beat some the teams are in front of you, 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: and you guys can make the postseason. Um, are you 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: believing where you guys are? I know, I know we 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: talked to you every week and but six and two 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: is not where anybody expected. Are you guys pinching yourselves? 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Are you're saying we knew we were we had this 21 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 1: in us. Honestly, I think it was a built confidence 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: over the first few weeks of the season. I think 23 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: you never truly know what you have. I know you 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: have some towns, towns of guys on a roster, on 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: our roster, but you never really know until you see him. 26 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: I'm still executing together and what type of team you have. 27 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: So we learned earlier on that we were, you know, 28 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: a team that it's capable of doing great things. And 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: so yeah, we're sitting there by the way, chicks and 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: two fling good to the I wonder how like you're 31 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: in a bye week now and you're trying to take 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: your mind away from the game because you need it. 33 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: Like your body needs it for sure, training camp in 34 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: the first eight weeks of the season, your mind needs 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: it because it's just a grind. Like people. I don't 36 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: think a lot of people understand the grind that is 37 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: playing professional football. The early mornings, the long days, study, 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: et cetera. How is it hard for you to disconnect 39 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: after the great start that you all have been on. 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: It is hard at first. I think you need to. 41 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: I think because Day did a great job of kind 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: of putting some closure on the first half of the season, 43 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of fading where we're at before we all headed 44 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: out to wherever we are going for the body week. Um, 45 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: it's important. You gotta acknowledge, I think, what has happened 46 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: and where you're at and what you have in front 47 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: of you. But then you have to you have to 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: get away. You have to decompress a little bit because 49 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: it's showing he said, the stressful season. Uh, you know, 50 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: the body takes a huge toll each game. Um, and 51 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: so it's the point week. But at the same time, 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: we can't just like you know, I'm relaxing right now. 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: You can't just fully relaxed the whole week and just 54 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 1: not take care of your body. You have to get 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: your body primed and prepped for another half of the season. 56 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: So what what what would you do? Like? W you 57 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: when when you start that sand Like, let's go, I'm serious, Like, 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: are you gonna go to the gym?

No doubt do you 77 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: guys have deserved that. You've heard that Julian love you 78 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: are the fans. So we've got your GM Julian coming up. 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: In thirty minutes, we're gonna talk with Joe Joe Shane 80 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: for those who don't know, Joe Shane is at one. 81 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: And you know we were asked about the trade deadline 82 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: at all those things that we thought could happen that 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: didn't out. I'm curious that. I think by extension, we're 84 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: all curious as a player, how you guys processed the 85 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: trade deadline. Of course, you gotta worry about yourself and 86 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: control what you can control. But was there a thought, 87 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: hey man, we might we might go out and spruce 88 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: up this offense a little bit. How much attention were 89 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: you paying to the trade deadline. It's it's tough because 90 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: you know it's ask of you. You You know, you want 91 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: to know how your team is shaken out, and you 92 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: know move they are made, so you kind of have 93 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: an eye to it or an ear to it. But 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, I trusted when he comes down, and I 95 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: trust Shane to make the right calls at the right 96 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: moment um. He's a guy who has a plan for 97 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: the team, for the future of this team, and so 98 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: I knew they're gonna make some moves, gonna be to 99 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: do not only short from but the long term benefit 100 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: of the team. And nothing worked out in that way. Then, 101 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: as you see, like moves where I made, and so 102 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: that's part of it. I couldn't tell you if I 103 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: wanted one way or another, but the whole trade, No, 104 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: I got you, I got you. That's not your job 105 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I understand now I'm curious to and this is probably 106 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: a good time to answer ask it because you don't 107 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: have a game coming up this week. You know, you 108 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: unplug a little bit with limitations. Clearly you can't just completely. 109 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: You know, you can't act like me on a vacation. 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: You gotta come back and play the Texans, right, although 111 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: maybe you can go on vacation and I'll practice hard 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: and play against the Texas. Is not that good, Julian, 113 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: I would worry. But I look at the Giants franchise 114 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: and and we've all taken stock of it from the outside. 115 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: I know, when you're in the middle of things, maybe 116 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: you don't. You don't process it the way we do 117 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: from the outside. But now that you step back for 118 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: a few days, does the Giants organization in totality just 119 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: feel a whole heck of a lot healthier than it 120 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: did a year ago? Different people, different messaging, different voices. 121 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: Can you feel it? I don't mean just the record. 122 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Can you feel it? Yeah? Like you said, it's tough 123 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: to really analyze things when you're inside of it, kind 124 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: of the flow of it, when you reflect and look 125 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: back on everything, Yeah, you can feel that trend going upwards. 126 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: I think we've accomplished a lot a great deal in 127 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: this first half of the season. We want to accomplish 128 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: a lot more of this second half. But long term, 129 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking to a few years out and all that stuff. 130 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: I think it's trending upwards. I think we have the 131 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: right people in the right situation, uh, who are making 132 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: the right calls that are with the current times with 133 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I think Shane has done a great 134 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: job so far. I've kind of china be as successful 135 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: as you can in the short term while also having 136 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: the team long term success in mind. When when do 137 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: you think you'll start thinking about maybe you'll have dreams 138 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: about the Houston Texans, Davis Love, Davis Mills, Brandon Cooks, 139 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: Damien Pierce. When are you going to start thinking about them? 140 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: I will start thinking about the Texans. Uh, we get 141 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: back Sunday, so that Monday, on Monday we have we'll 142 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: have extra day obviously because it's by week, we don't 143 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: have to have a recap Dave on Monday, So I'll 144 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: dedicate that today, Um, two days and yeah, that's when it. Yeah, 145 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna watch Thursday night football because it's the Eagles, 146 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: obviously the hated rival the Texas. Double scouting, you could 147 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: you could get early. Man. Actually that's a good point. 148 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: I know they played. Yeah, I'll probably game division rival 149 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: in our next opponent. There you go. Let's see. I 150 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: contributed to Julie Love prepared for Barry for the Texas 151 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: a motivating factor. It was the same way Julie. I 152 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: had no idea who was playing, who win? I had 153 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: no idea. So you know, you look at your the 154 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: whole league wide schedule. So I'm glad you guys. You know, 155 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Julian I gotta pull something. I almost forgot about this. 156 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: This happened. What date was that August? First? It was 157 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: early as early August. Yea. So we were at a 158 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: Giant's camp, me and Ti, we're doing the show and 159 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: coach Dable, who teeks become pretty tight with, asked Tik 160 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: to come and speak with the team, and apparently my 161 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: guy had a pretty good message that's resonated here because 162 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: you guys won six out of eight. Do you remember 163 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: what Tiki said that day? He probably couldn't hear me 164 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: in the back. Do you remember what he said? I 165 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: might have been in the back.
