1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Alright, fine, I just want to make sure all right.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: So here he is Giants football coach Joe Judge joints

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: us on the fan and co on CBS Sports. Hey,

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: al did you call him coach? When he picked up

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: the phone, I just told that Eddie I made such

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: a horrible mistake. He called in as I was thrown

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: off because I thought Pat Handlon would call in first. Yeah,

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and he said this is Joe Judge. I I go, hey, Joe,

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: and then I go hang on, buddy, and then I

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: put him on the hold. I was like, oh my god, terrible.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Just well, you know you are older than him significantly, Alice,

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: So I think you've been around in your job. I've

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: never heard you even call anybody buddy. I do it

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: to the caller sometimes. It was very embarrassing. My apologies, coach.

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever been called buddy in the last couple

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: of years? You know, a bunch of times, a bunch

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: of times and a good friends against me and now

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: just kind of pick friendship to new level because we buddies.

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: So what's what's worse, buddy or big guy? I think

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: I think you get into the big guys sports type category.

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean you know, but buddies. Buddy's kind of in

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: a borderline right there. But you know, you're kind of

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: getting some of those things big guys champ sports stuff

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: like that. It's kind of like, you know, don't go

25
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: their territory. He said, Hang on sport, that would have

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: really gotten here right. Oh great, alright, Coach is great

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: to talk to you, man, Um. I wanted to start

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: by going through these COVID rules and everything that you

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: guys got to deal with. And the reason I want

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: to do that is because last year was a year

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: all into itself and everybody was essentially under the same rules.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Now you have different rules. You have unvaccinated guys, you

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: have vaccinated guys. I'm not sure where your vaccination levels

34
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: are with the giants. But how much of a difference

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: is it from last year to this year, given the

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: fact that you have two sets of rules now, well,

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: I'd say it's definitely a lot different than last year.

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: And while there's a lot more flexibility and kind of

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you say, some looseness with the vaccinated guys, I think

40
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: we still gotta respect all the guys who chose not

41
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: to give the vaccine. And you know, our message of

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: the team was right away just that hey, look, everybody

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: has a choice, but if you choose not to get vaccine,

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: as obviously, protocols you have to follow and everything we

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: have to do to be an accordance to those we're

46
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: gonna do. And I'd say that's really proud of the team.

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, whether vaccine unvaccinated, the entire camp and up

48
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: to you know, you know, up to this morning, we

49
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: haven't had a single incident and then I had, We

50
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: have not had to have a single meeting of reminding

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: anybody about what to do. We stay on it. We

52
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: talked to the team. Obviously, we addressed the Cowboys situation

53
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: where our players yesterday, just to remind everybody that you know,

54
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: you've got to respect the space and a big part

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: of the protocols for the unvaccinated players are you know,

56
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: social distancing and spacing out. You know, everyone wears those tracers.

57
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: The NFL is always you know, kind of altering the

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: tracers and kind of seeing what the contact level is.

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: And then when somebody pops a positive, the first thing

60
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: they do is they check o the tracers, see who's

61
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: been connected to it. So you know, if it's a

62
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: situation where somebody's vaccinated and pops are positive. You know,

63
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: if you're in close contact with them but you're vaccinated,

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't really affect you at that moment. Okay, you're

65
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: not gonna miss any time on the quarantine according to

66
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: the current rules. But if you're under vaccinated and you

67
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: pop up close contact, you're gonna be removed and you've

68
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: got to go. Just like last year quarantine, your moved

69
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: from you stadium, and that's going to cause you really

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: upwards it like two weeks. So it's kind of they're

71
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: living in rules and then everyone else kind of living

72
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated is a difference. Um, We've just got

73
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: to make sure that everyone understands, you know, what their

74
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: current status is and how they have to be. But

75
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: you know, they've done a really good job of it. Um.

76
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: I think the one thing that the protocols is they're

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: always evolving. I mean it's a daily basis, we get

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: some kind of memo from the league and I'm to

79
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the point with our medical staff and trainers as I

80
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: just tell them say, look, I don't have time to

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: go through every one of these memos like a lawyer.

82
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Every day, you guys come up and you know, get

83
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: me the information on what I gotta form the team

84
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: of what's changing. And they've done a great job keeping me,

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, in the loop and let me know what

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: I have to communicate. Yeah, you've got to really trust

87
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: your guys, especially the medical side of the business. But

88
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I would also say, you know, and this is hypothetical.

89
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Can you see an NFL team having to forfeit a

90
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: game this year? But I hope not. I mean, I

91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: think have to understand that. I mean, look, we got

92
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: the entire season last year. Um well, having to lose

93
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: a game. I don't know if moving games on me

94
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: as much of a reality this year. You have fans

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: in the stands. It's a lot more difficult to go

96
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: ahead and up and move a game on short notice

97
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: that what happened last year. You know, the possibilities obviously there.

98
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I think everyone's gonna work to go ahead and eliminate that,

99
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: and we'll obviously do whatever you have to do. Like

100
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: I explained to our players said, look, you know, if

101
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: there's eleven healthy people, they're gonna play a game. You're

102
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna play, you know, all three phases of the game

103
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: that was just gonna basically have to prepare for whatever

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: comes our way. Talking to Giants head coach Joe Judge

105
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: on Boomerang, Geo on the Fan and CBS Sports Network,

106
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: do you listen to a lot of sports talk, coach?

107
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: You know what I did growing up all the time,

108
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: riding in the school, riding in the work. I had

109
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: a couple of jobs, you know, delivering stuff. Always had

110
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: it on, you know, in recent years. To be honest

111
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: with you, Um, most of my office today, you know,

112
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I get some music in the background, but most of

113
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: the days pretty silent watching tape. Yeah, I will. If

114
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I were you, I wouldn't be listening to sports talk

115
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: as the head coach of the Giants are probably detrimental.

116
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: The reason I ask is for what have a reason?

117
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: The last couple of years, we've got a lot of

118
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: phone calls about the Giants offensive line, and it has

119
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: driven our producer absolutely crazy. He can't take it anymore.

120
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: Every Giant that's right to you, new Buddy aldous Hey,

121
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: budd uh So. And now we're hearing some things, some rumblings,

122
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: and you're some of the reporting out there that this

123
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: is some offensive line issues and some anxiety is starting

124
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: to build here because we can't take any more. The

125
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Giants offensive line stinks phone calls. So from the horse's mouth,

126
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: how would you assess the one Giants offensive line as

127
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: you guys are heading into Week one? Well, look, obviously

128
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: we've got to be a revolving product and we'll never arrived.

129
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: So look, what I'm concentrating was constant provement. Seeing these

130
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: guys get better every day. I've seen that through training camp.

131
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not perfect. We had a lot of things

132
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: we have to work on as a team. In a

133
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: prior way, the guys work and stake him into the process.

134
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: We've got a great challenge this week with the Broncos coming.

135
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: These guys are, you know, one of top defense in

136
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: the league. They we can get after the passer and

137
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: they do a great job to stop in the run

138
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: as well. So we've got to make sure that we

139
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: have our a game this week. So we're working continuously

140
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: through this week, prepare the players and make sure they

141
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: come in ready to go in on Sunday. Then put

142
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: their best out there on the field, and we're gonna

143
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: need it against the Broncos because the kind of defense

144
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: they are. How do you feel about that answer? Around,

145
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm nervous. You gotta get a lot of phone calls out.

146
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: But I think the offensive line is gonna be a

147
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: lot better because I think you young quarterbacks gonna be

148
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: a lot better. Have you seen the growth that you

149
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: expected to see from Daniel Jones heading into year three? Now,

150
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: you know what, I've seen a lot of growth from

151
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: He did a terrific job in the all season, really

152
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: with the leadership and kind of getting the guys going

153
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: in a good direction. You know. Really the ownership on

154
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and the understanding commandity offense is

155
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: really you know, carried over, you know, from the spring

156
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: to training camp to in practice right now and seeing

157
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: what the defense presents them, understanding what the opponent is

158
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: understanding a week new in certain situations to protect himself,

159
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: getting the best play, you know, play to our strengths.

160
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: He's done a really good job so far that and

161
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, look excited to see him get out there.

162
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: Excited to get some of our guys back. Depend on

163
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: how it happens and some guys we haven't had much

164
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: through training camp, so we'll see how that we throughout

165
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. But excited to get in

166
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the regular season get playing games now. I've asked other

167
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: head coaches this and they always say no. But I'm

168
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: thinking maybe because it's a division rival, the answer might

169
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: be yes from you. But have you watched any of

170
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys hard knocks this year? No? I have not.

171
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: I have not. No, Um, you're not interested at all.

172
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on in there. It's a Cowboys,

173
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: you know what. Look, we'll kind of keep up as

174
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: we get closer to the opponent games and stuff and

175
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of get abreast of what's going on. You know,

176
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: I've kind of only caught a little bit of hard

177
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: knocks stuff throughout the years during training camp. A lot

178
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: of times that's you come home from work. You know,

179
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: you kind of get, you know, laying in bed if

180
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: you're the hotel at your house or it isn't watch

181
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: about a half hour TV as you're kind of not

182
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: and off a lot of times that's hard knocks that

183
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: time like that you get home. This year hasn't been

184
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: one of those years. I haven't seen any of it. Okay,

185
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: all right, very good. How's my man, young joker doing?

186
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Keep doing good. He's doing good. He's working hard work.

187
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: And get back on the field force right there. It's

188
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: been Unfortunately, he's had a couple of things really outside

189
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: of his control that kind of held him out some

190
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: of this training camp. But I'd say the thing, you know,

191
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: he's done everything with this control, with his effort, his attitudes,

192
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: work ethic and you know, really do anything to train

193
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: has had him do. And we'll be able to get

194
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: him on the field a little bit. We'll see progresses

195
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: throughout the week, but he's the mix of progress for us.

196
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: All right, So coming up against the Broncos, are we

197
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: gonna see say Kwon Barkley. You know, we're gonna make

198
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: the decision later in the week. We're gonna see him

199
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: kind of moveing around a couple more days. He was

200
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: body responsible a couple of things. You know, we kind

201
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: of took the approach going into this that we weren't

202
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: going to rush any decisions with him and make sure

203
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: there's be a close to the game we know exactly

204
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: where his body's at. But he's done a really good

205
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: job progress and every day I know he's confident. He's

206
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: moving around well, that's definitely been a positive. We've got

207
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: a couple of things we consider he's taking a little

208
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: bit of contact your last week. We'll put the pads

209
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: on tomorrow, you know, just kind of you know, thought

210
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: them up a little bit, make sure he's good to go,

211
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: but they we'll make a decision later in the week.

212
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: And three other guys, Evan Ingram I would think that

213
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: young Joco being one of them, and Kenny Golladay. How

214
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: about those three guys. Yeah, so i'd say Evan, you know,

215
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: obviously his you know, injury coming in that last preseason game,

216
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: but he's made a lot of progress in a short

217
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: period of time, spent the weekend here at the trainers,

218
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of positives going. We'll see where he

219
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: is tomorrow and practice and see how he's moving around,

220
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of you know, Kenny and Katim

221
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and those guys you know have done some stuff on

222
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: the field with us. We'll see they progressed throughout the week,

223
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: but there's been some positive things to build on and

224
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're hopefully we can get them out there.

225
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: I can't see whether it's gonna go. Yeah, your nail

226
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: on that, but we'll see how they kind of responsor

227
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: that the rest of the week. So you guys missing

228
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a lot of time, it's It's beyond just how they're feeling.

229
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: It's also the conditioning, the football movement. You know, they

230
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: be able to make sure we put them on the field,

231
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: we can keep them on the field as well. Talking

232
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: to Joe Judge on the Fan and CBS Sports Network,

233
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: what is it like for you when you get a

234
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: big free agent acquisition like Kenny Golladay, a draft choice

235
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: and exciting player in college like Young Joker, and then

236
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: their availability when you're trying to get your eyes on

237
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: them and work them into the offense, it just hasn't

238
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: been there in training camp? How does that make you

239
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: feel as a head coach? A perfect board you had

240
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 1: over after there all the time. The reality is we

241
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: gotta do the best as what we have available. And

242
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: I'd say with guys like that that you know, there's

243
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: some things that are unfortunate that held them out. My

244
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: focus them goes into the mental aspect of really keeping

245
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: them up the speed in progression and when they get back,

246
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of catch up time. And

247
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: we do the account these guys off the field in

248
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: terms of you know, situational walkthroughs or meetings wherever we

249
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: can do to keep these guys functioning and just going

250
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: through the simulation of a practice and then through the rehab.

251
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: We try to simulate what the rest of the team

252
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: is doing as much as possible within what they capable

253
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: of doing, so that may mirror practice on another field

254
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: while the rest of the teams doing it while they're

255
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: with the trainers or strength staff, and then when they

256
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: get back, you know, they get back a little bit

257
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: faster force and get going. So we try to make

258
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: sure that you know, they're never really fall behind mentally,

259
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: and then physically as they catch up, they're working with

260
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: in the same techniques that they can work with the team,

261
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: So if there's not as much transition coming back. Giants

262
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: head coach Joe Judge joining Boomer and Geo here for

263
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: for a few more minutes. You know, Joe, last year

264
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: you didn't have preseason. This year you did. You had

265
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: three games, and now you have a seven team games season.

266
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm one of these guys ex players

267
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm against the seventeen game season. I

268
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: think it's too long. I think that we've already had

269
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen pieced together by teams over

270
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: the past ten or so years an injuries seemed to

271
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: be propping up more now than ever before. What is

272
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: it gonna be like coaching through a seventeen game full season,

273
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: and you're right when you get to the back end

274
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: of the year, there's always some gymnastics in terms of

275
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: managing your roster and getting guys available to play at

276
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: the game. I think at that point it's our job

277
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: as coaches with whatever the league sets the schedule, to

278
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: make sure that we just manage the team as best

279
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: we can. You still got to building a condition. It'still

280
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,479
Speaker 1: gonna make sure the health of the teams a priority,

281
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: but they still need reps to out they had the

282
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: chemistry and the time on task with what we're gonna

283
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: do in the game, So it is a little bit

284
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: of a juggling act with that. I think our guys

285
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: have responded well the different ways we've mixed up the

286
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: schedules in the past. You know, I agree with you.

287
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: It's definitely a much longer season. Just even seeing the

288
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: dates on the calendar where you look past, you think, okay,

289
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: week seventeen, that's normally that's only playoffs right there. So

290
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: you kind of look at the length of the season.

291
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, like ideally, you know, another bio wee could

292
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: really be great for the health of the players, health

293
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: of the league. Um, but you know, not having a

294
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: can buy a week. You know, we had this extra

295
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: week from training camp. We use that for the best

296
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: we could kind of the players moving in the season thing.

297
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Bye week falls right about mid midway this year. It's

298
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: like kind of a little bit of reprieve right there

299
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: going to that home stretch. But you know, you're always

300
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: saying aout the health of the players being the priority.

301
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: So what to do whatever we can throughout the season

302
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: to account individually and then collectively make sure we get

303
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: the guys right for Sundays. You know, the amazing thing

304
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: is that you start the season, we'll have you'll have

305
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: four games and I mean two games in the first

306
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: four game days. Uh, this is not going to be

307
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: an easy start for you guys. Talking about a long

308
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: season and having a short week to start the season

309
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: in both ways and talk about all right, is it

310
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: is it more of an obstacle because it's a tighter

311
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: turnaround from that first game? Where do you look at it?

312
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: More of having more time from game two to game three?

313
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: And how can you use it the advantage, So we

314
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: try to prepare the guys as much as we can

315
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: for some tight turnarounds to preseason how we've practiced and

316
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: building their conditioning, what they've had to deal with. You know,

317
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: everyone's gotta play Thursday night game, so we're no exception.

318
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Our just falls earlier. I've been part of a couple

319
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: of early ones before. You know, if you're prepare from

320
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: the right way, they can be a blessing um. And

321
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: then you have to use the time on the back

322
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: end of let's get the guys fresh, so they get

323
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: a little bit you know time from about training camp day,

324
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: that three day break this past weekend by league rules,

325
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: and then coming out of the Thursday game, they're not

326
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: three days to kind of get mentally fresh and physically

327
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, prepared going in that third game right there.

328
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: But it's definitely all the Thursday night games. It's about

329
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: how you manage your team going into it, and you

330
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: gotta get a mentally prepare without you know, physically wearing

331
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: out their legs on a short turnaround. You know, you

332
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: want BCS National championships down with coach Saban. You won

333
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championships with Bill Belichick up in New England

334
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and at the beginning of the season, there are some

335
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: guys that really came after you pretty hard about the

336
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: way that you ran practice and some of the things

337
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: that you did the Patriot way, that Joe Judge way.

338
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: And you know when you read things like that and

339
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: you hear some negativity coming from players up today compared

340
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: to the way it was when I played, or maybe

341
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: even when you played, Uh, are those those criticisms got

342
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: to be somewhat stinging? Yes, No, it's important to me

343
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: of the guys in the building understand why we're doing things.

344
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: We're very transparent with our team. We explain all the

345
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: time while we're doing things with the importance is how

346
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: it's supposed to look and how it's going to benefit

347
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: the team. I can't control what somebody says on the outside,

348
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, I can't control that at all in terms

349
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: of the way we operate things. Look, it's it's it's

350
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: a competitive business, Okay, So we're very fair to players,

351
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: all right, It's very competitively. Everything can to help every

352
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: player in this building, and you know, our job as

353
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: coaches through training camp to make sure their bodies are

354
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: physically prepared for the toll of the season. You just

355
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: talked about a second go of seventeen game season. You know,

356
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,240

357
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: callous of your body to be able to sustain for

360
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: the outside doing say a lot of different things. To me,

361
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: it's more important to guys on the inside understand what

362
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: we're really doing and why it's important. Hey, I'm a

393
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,880

397
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, hung out and decompressed. It was

398
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: good seeing games just on TV. I thought the Georgia

399
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Clemson name was a great game to watch. Um but

400
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,840

401
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,840

402
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: got see Mama Manor play some ups and downs. Had

403
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,440

404
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: the channels watching as much we could. Yeah, I thought

405
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: it was I thought it was awesome. It was and

406
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the fans just the craziness of college football. People say

407
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: the NFL is popular, and it is, of course, and

408
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: it's obviously the most popular on television band but when

409
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: you see those full stadiums, especially down to the South,

410
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. I'll tell you what too. It's it's some

411
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: of the places when you're there working and the RVs

412
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: rolling on Thursday night, you know, and they're there Thursday

413
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: through Sunday for the game on Suray. So it's a

414
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: different atmosphere. I mean, you kind of you know, college

415
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: town is kind of transformed pretty fast, so I mean

416
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: the atmosphere is those games are great. Obviously there's a

417
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: lot of traditional a lot of the schools, but just

418
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: seeing them back on TV and just seeing the fans

419
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: in the stands is great. What do you think of

00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly saying you want to kill his entire team? Yeah?

421
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,400
