1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Hey, Kevin, how are you very good? Uh? This thing 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: you guys are doing where you rotate three tackles and 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: whenever Will comes back, you will and Shane at guard, 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: it's very unusual. Why do you think it's working? Like 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: everything I've ever talked to, every offensive lineman says the 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: key to a good offensive line is continuity and the 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 1: same five guys playing together. So why is shuffling guys 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: in and out working for you guys? Um? You know, 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: I do a great comminuity is a very big piece. 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: But we also have a unique situation. We have a 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: lot of young old lineman in the room, very talented 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: old lineman, and I think, you know, given how the 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: season has started, I think the ability of get them 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: in there has been really good for us. Um. Obviously, 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: like as you saw, Will you know, unfortunately had to 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: be gone for two games and blood Shane, you know, 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: to be able to, like even in practice, being able 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: to rotate it and get reps. You know, he was 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: able to step in and go right away. It's not 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: like we missed a bat. I think it's big because 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: it allows us to prep and you know, if any 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: injuries or anything happened down the road, I think it's 23 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna be good for us, all right, Kevin. I know 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: you guys have to strike a balance here between acknowledging 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: that this is a big game coming up for the 26 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: division and and treating it just like it's the next game. 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Where where are you straddling that line? Um? I mean 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: it's it's New York Giants rist Philadelphia Eagles. It's always 29 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: a big game. It's a very talented front over there, 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: and um, we're always up for a challenge. How where 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: are you though of Uh, you know of what's at 32 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: stake here and you know what what a win would 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: mean for you in the standings. Um, obviously it's a 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: big thing. We know where we're at, we know where 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: the divisions at, so obviously every win and the division 36 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: is a big thing. I also wanted to ask you 37 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: if I couldn't. I'm sorry to hug the questions here, 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: but um, you know there's a winless team here in 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: New York and and you were part of a winless team. 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad I get to ask you this after after 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: win Uh so oftens in a little bit, but do 42 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: you uh root for other winless teams at this point 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: in the season to get a win or or do you, um, 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, sort of want other teams to have that 45 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: sort of lessons your ignominy. I guess, Um, the way 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: I see it is, Um, you know, it's hard, like 47 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: no matter what the team like obviously the Jets like 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: whatever they're going through. You know, Um, there's still a 49 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: talented team and it's the NFL. So and you get 50 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: in something that can change just like that, and you 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: know you've never you know, it's all good. Mhm h shorts. 52 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: Hey Kevin, Um, I got a couple of things. First 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: of all, can you talk about I mean, after losing 54 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: sa Quan, you guys obviously had to change up some 55 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: things up front the way you block, uh, going from 56 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: a guy like say Quan to that the bunch of 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: running backs you have now, can you talk about that difference? 58 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: Was that more more Columbo Jason Garrett? How you guys 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: to change a lot of the stuff you're doing up front? Um, 60 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think it was just a group effort, 61 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think it was the coach and staff, 62 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: the players, you know, all figuring out just what we 63 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: need to do to move forward. Um, you never want 64 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: to lose a guy like Klan you know, he is 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: a you know, the unique the best of the best 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: town there is out there. But I've been very happy 67 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: with the way you know, all our running backs are playing. 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: You know, they're all playing hard, they all have their 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: own unique style. They're all game the job done, and 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: that's very good for us as a team. One more 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: you also, you know you've come into a lot of 72 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: mondays or day after games after losses and have to 73 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: go through the corrections and things like that. When when 74 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: you go through a gay like today, you after a win. Um, 75 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if easier is the right word, but 76 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: how different is it is they move more upbeat? Joe 77 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: mentioned about guys you know, a little looser, a few 78 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: more smiles and is it more conducive maybe two more 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,279 Speaker 1: progress later on down the season. Um, it definitely helps it. Uh, 80 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: you know, coming in after win, you know, you know, 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: it just has a little better vibe in the building. 82 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: It always helps push you board. Um. But obviously, so 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, we can never let that be a distraction. 84 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: We have a lot of things to fix and um, 85 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: you know we need to keep working every day to 86 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: get better. Thank you, Hi letter, Hey Kevin, what was that? 87 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: What was that one practice, like when basically the entire 88 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: offensive line was Queargantine there and and you were I 89 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: think the only starter on the field, and there was 90 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: all the uncertainty about who would actually even be able 91 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: to play in that team. Yeah, um that was a 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: fun practice. Um it was me and uh three other guys, 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: and you know, it was just kind of funny. You know, 94 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: given the way this year has gone, you know, we 95 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: expected something might like might happen, but you know, until 96 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: it actually happened, was pretty crazy. But um, you know, 97 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I think more impressively any think is we had a 98 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: great day of practice. You know, the guys who were 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: there worked hard. The whole team, we got a lot 100 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: of great working and you know, we didn't miss a beat. 101 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: So I was very proud of about that fact about 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: our team. Let's take two more, Jordan and Patty Jordan's 103 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: and and Kevin. I'm just curious how you handled the 104 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: last week with the trade deadline and how you kind 105 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: of approached that mentally, even I mean your name was 106 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: one of them that was was kind of out there 107 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. So I'm just curious how you approached 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: it and if the team came to you and said, Hey, 109 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: this is where we're at or we're not trading or 110 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: whatever it may have been. Um, basically, like honestly about 111 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: all that, Like I did not hear much at all. 112 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: Like I in the building, I knew nothing about anything. 113 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: I had only seen rumors like you know, pop up 114 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: on the paper or whatnot. But I hadn't heard anything, 115 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: and obviously nothing came up. And so I'm glad to 116 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: be in New York. I'm happy to be here and 117 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: to keep continuing to build this aline. What what's the 118 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: difference in your opinion between the old line in Week 119 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: one and now week what do we nine ten? Um? 120 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is, you know, we've had 121 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: that continuity. Like unfortunately, the first part of the season 122 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: was our continuity building. No uh, the new coaches staff, 123 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: the new offense, new O line code, um O t 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: is obviously would have been very helpful for us this year, 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: but hey, that's just not how the world worked. UM. 126 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the more we've been able to 127 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: play against, you know, UM competition, you know, kind of 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, we're figuring it out and things 129 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: are starting to click here and there, and it's starting 130 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: to like build the group up altogether. That's why I 131 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: hear Patty, Hey, Kevin, how are you doing very good? 132 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Are you doing well? Thanks? Kevin. I'm just wondering if 133 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: you could give us some thoughts about the communication process 134 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: with Nick, who obviously is in his first years as 135 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: a center, and when you've kind of lineup next to Matt, 136 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: how they have communicated, because sometimes I know that can 137 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: be a little shaky with young guys, and I'm just 138 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: wondering what your cake is on those two. Um, I 139 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: take them they're both doing great. Um. One thing I 140 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: was really impressed, especially like um, like when Matt and 141 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: the other rookies came in, they were very well prepared. 142 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: They were very smart and really on top of the 143 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: ball right away in training camp, even O t a 144 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: s on the Zoom meetings, and um, you know that's impressive, 145 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: you know, going through the being in this league for 146 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: these last couple of years and having a lot of 147 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: rookie classes, I would ever say this was the most 148 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: prepared straight up. And as far as Nick, you know, 149 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: I think we all knew in the old line room 150 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: Nick had talent and obviously he was able to make 151 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: the most of it. And watched him out there. It's 152 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: pretty fun. He's a fireball, and um, he's doing the 153 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: great things of the communication side too. Is that something 154 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: that you know makes it easier for for yourself. I mean, 155 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: being the veteran of that side, you don't have to 156 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: necessarily worry about the guy on either side of you 157 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: because they're so well prepared. Yeah, definitely. You know, it's 158 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: nice when um, everyone knows what they're doing. It speeds 159 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: up can make it speeds up communication, speeds up process, 160 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: and it helps the whole team in general.
