1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: When we were out there talking for a shore pad,

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: So you do much like football stuff.

3
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 2: You're still sort of in a rehab sub type of stage.

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Or do you do football drills after that? So I

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: think I'm just following the plan of the trainers, Like

6
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: I think they just want me to kind of mimic

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: you know what I would do, you know, if I

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: was at practice. But they also want to limit and

9
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: not you know, just cut me loose because there's a

10
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: chance that you can make it worse with soft tissue.

11
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: So that's the plan I'm trying to follow.

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 3: Has it been frustrating for you?

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean obviously I want to I want to

14
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: be on the field. We only have a few opportunities

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: to guarantee each season, and you know, I missed quite

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: a few of them, so it doesn't feel good. But

17
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I can't change that. All I can do is just

18
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: continue to get better.

19
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: How confident are you in it?

20
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: I mean, do you know have you been able to

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 4: turn it loose?

22
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, but today was my first time

23
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: being on the field, So we'll see how response tomorrow

24
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: and you know, the day after, and hope from there.

25
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Would you expect that it's going to take a couple

26
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: of weeks or aren't you sure yet? I really don't know.

27
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: It goes up and down with you know, how it

28
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: feels day to day. So we'll see how it fos tomorrow.

29
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: Before the Seattle game, right, you thought you were making

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 4: good progress. I mean, were you at this point in

31
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 4: it or were you further along?

32
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I think it was different and obviously you know it

33
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: didn't work out. So just trying to, you know, keep

34
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: a positive mindset because it is frustrating not being able

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: to go. But like I said, I can't control that.

36
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: All can do is just continue to do what they're

37
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: asking me to.

38
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 4: Do you have any sense whether you could possibly play

39
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday?

40
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't won't make any projections. Like I said, today

41
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: is my first day being you know, at practice, so

42
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: just try to build on that.

43
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Do you actually have a sense though, needing a couple

44
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 2: of practices since it's been so long for you before

45
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: you get out there, you know, like, is it one

46
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: of those things where you're not going to wake up

47
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: on Saturday and be like, all right, I'm good if

48
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: you haven't practice full content?

49
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the biggest thing for me as office a line

50
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: is obviously to feel the pressure of what it's like

51
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: to be in the game, stopping bull rush, moving somebody

52
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: off the ball, which is why, you know, I asked

53
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: the church, you know, to be out there and get

54
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: some reps and try to do something that way.

55
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: I know. Answer, You're obviously someone that the Giants count

56
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: on every week when you're healthy. For sure. Has there

57
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: been frustration that you simply can't help when you're injured

58
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: as you were as you.

59
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: Are or were, Yeah, but I just try to contribute

60
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: in other ways, just trying to be a leader on

61
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: the sidelines and meetings, help them when I see things,

62
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: and that's that's what I try to do.

63
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: How what have you made of how the guys have

64
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: kind of pasted together and at times, you know, had

65
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: really good moments out there.

66
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they've done a tremendous job. Like it's

67
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: not easy on what they've been asked to do, all

68
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: the injuries that we've had, all the you know, switching

69
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: positions and all those things, and it's not easy to overcome.

70
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: But we have a tight knit group and I think

71
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: we're starting to jail.

72
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: At any point in your career, starting maybe when you

73
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: first played football, have you ever seen this many injuries

74
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: to an O line group where there is as much

75
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: shifting as debate, Probably not this much.

76
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: I think my second year here we had a lot

77
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: of guys get hurt, but this is probably the most

78
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: for sure.

79
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: What have you thought of I mean, justin peughe is

80
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: certainly not the same body type that you are at

81
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: that position. What have you sent from him at a

82
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: two hundred and ninety pounds playing left tackle?

83
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Just amazing performance by him, A veteran presence, you know,

84
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: not expecting to go out there and do that. For

85
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: him to be able to complish what he did, it's

86
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: great for our team. It's great for the morale of

87
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: the on line. He's a leader in our room obviously

88
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: has a lot of experience, so we definitely appreciate him.

89
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: You look forward to you?

90
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: So do you look forward to getting back to left

91
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: tackle and having human line up next.

92
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: Year with left guard? Yeah?

93
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 4: I don't.

94
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rotation will be whenever I

95
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: come back, but I get the opportunity to play with him.

96
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: I will love that. In the more, all the shifting

97
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: and moving that guys have had to do in the

98
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: long run, can there be some benefit from all of that,

99
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: I guess you have to be prepared for anything. In

100
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: this league. You only have a certain amount of guys

101
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: that can be you know, dressed for the game, so

102
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: people that aren't starting to prepare to play, you know, anything,

103
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: And it's not easy as office the line, because you

104
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: want to have camaraderie and jail together, but it's something

105
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: that you still have to prepare for.

106
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: How would what would you say your emotion is today

107
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: after this? Is it excited, encouraged? Maybe not as optimistic

108
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: as you thought?

109
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: What would it be? Honestly, just trying to trying to

110
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: stay level headed because if if it feels great and

111
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: my emotions are high, then I'm gonna be, you know,

112
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: feeling great. And then if it's not, then I'm gonna

113
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: be you know, down. So just trying to stay level

114
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: headed and just just roll with the punches.

115
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're ahead of where you were

116
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: in your time previously?

117
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: When you were obviously have to set back and forth, but.

118
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: The time leading up to that, do you feel like

119
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 4: you're ahead of any of that previous.

120
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it's just different dealing with this situation, just

121
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: trying to work every day. This is my first time

122
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: on the field today, so we'll see our response tomorrow

123
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: and I'll know a little bit better
