We appreciate it, of course, my pleasure. Your 15 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: guy that doesn't miss a lot of football games. Over 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: the course of your career. I think you had five 17 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: straight years with sixteen games, right. What was it like 18 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: for you watching for four weeks? You know it was tough. Uh, 19 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, during the week I was able to get by, 20 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: but comes Sunday I was just in a bad mood 21 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: up until uh, you know, the last game, I was 22 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: serving my you know, serving but uh, you know, I 23 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: try to be supportive from afar M. Kept in touch 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: with the guys and you know, just see how they're doing, 25 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: and you know, try to be there a little bit 26 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: and just kind of you know, so I'm not walking 27 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: back into the locker room just completely clueless of what's 28 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: going on. How did you stay in touch mentally and physically? 29 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: So when you walked in the building this week, you 30 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: were as ready as you were going a bit well, mentally, 31 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: there wasn't much I could do, just because you know, 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: you kind of have to go offline from everything. So 33 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't even have my playbook or anything. But uh, 34 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, when I watched the games, I would try 35 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: to figure out what plays we were watching from the 36 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: TV copies. That's only the only thing I had. Um. 37 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: And then physically, uh you know, I worked out with 38 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: Todd Durkin, um pretty known trainer, and then Melvin Gordon 39 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: was holding out, so we were able to compete against 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: each other and with each other in the weight room 41 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and on the field. So that definitely kept me sharp, 42 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: and I, believe it or not, Um, you know, I 43 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: used golf as a way to stay mentally sharp, um, 44 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: which is you know I did a did out of 45 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: as well. Well. It's a lot of focus with that. 46 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be you gonna pay attention to 47 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: what's in front of and just worry about that. Yeah. 48 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: Just it forces me to focus on the details within 49 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: my swing and also as far as being competitive, just 50 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: you know, you know, using every shot as a new opportunity. Um. 51 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: So you know I worked. What was it like walking 52 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: to the building for the first time. It was like 53 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: waking up on Christmas morning, Um, excited to get in here. Um, 54 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: to see the guys. And on top of that, we 55 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: just come off a big time win, divisional wins, so 56 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: that made things uh much greater. Um. But just just 57 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: to see everybody from from top to bottom, you know, 58 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: the guys on the team, the coaches, just two people 59 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: working in the facility. Just to be back and be 60 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: back in it, it felt pretty good. And it's you know, 61 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: it's it makes me appreciate the game and playing football 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: so much more. As much as you can do and workouts, 63 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: you can't mimic what happens in a game or on 64 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: a football field with live action, right, So what was 65 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: your first two practices like and what was it like 66 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: trying to work back into it on the practice field 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: with your guys. You know, yesterday, Uh, Mother Nature blessed 68 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: us with a good, crispy, warm, almost ninety degree day 69 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: with look community. Uh you know, there were times where 70 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: I struggled early, but once I called my second win, 71 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: I felt like I was pretty good today. Um. You know, 72 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: after going through yesterday, I was like, Okay, this could 73 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: be tough, but today was it was even better. So uh, 74 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think I'm I'm getting back in its 75 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: relatively well. From an endurance standpoint. You think you'll feel 76 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: comfortable with a full slate of snaps on Sunday or 77 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna have catching breathers throughout the game to feel 78 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: all right. You know what we'll see. I did my 79 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: best to try to stay in in top shape when 80 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I was gone, and you know, I think, uh, these 81 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: first two days of practice have been challenging and I've 82 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: handled them well. You know, I wasn't sort waking up 83 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: this morning. My legs weren't heavy, so that's good. You know, 84 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: I think I'll be able to just do whatever I 85 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: need to do to help us win. That's the only 86 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: thing that matters, and I plan on being being there ready. Now. 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: You got to work with Daniel Jones over the summer. 88 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: He was your starting quarterback in the fourth preseason game 89 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: against the Patriot It and then you got to watch 90 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: his first start of his career last week. You're on 91 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: the practice fielding this week. What's your our own pressure 92 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: of the rookie in terms of how far he's come 93 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: since he got in the building. You know, I've been 94 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: really impressed with just how composed he is, um in 95 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: the locker room, in the huddle, Um, when eleven other 96 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: guys are coming after you every play. I think he's 97 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: doing a good job. I think he's a guy wants 98 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: to get better, um, every time he steps on the field, 99 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: which is important. Uh. You know, I've had a chance 100 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: to watch some film with him, UM, you know on 101 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: our off day on Tuesday when we were in here. 102 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: So UM, you know I like what I see. UM. 103 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: I think it's I think you just got to have 104 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: the mentality that that I want to get better every 105 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: time every time I step on the field. Um. You know, 106 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: there's no doubt that we're gonna rally around him. And 107 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: when he's playing well, We're probably all gonna be playing well. 108 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, just just do your job. You know, 109 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't think DJ needs to be do anything superhuman. 110 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Just be himself. Um, you know, just make good, great decisions, 111 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: hang on to the ball, you know, hit the open guys, 112 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: and I think the wrest well well handled itself. I 113 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: liked your answer to a question earlier in the week 114 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: when you spoke to the media and you said, look, 115 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: what they're doing is working, so I just have to 116 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: fit into what they're doing. How do you think you're 117 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna fit into what they're doing out there? You know, 118 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I'll just be another weapon. Um, you know, 119 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: you're just looking over the last two weeks. You know, 120 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram is showing up big, Stirling Shepherd has been 121 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: a huge making plays. Cody Lattimore, um a young fella 122 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Slays has been making some big time plays and stretching 123 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: the field. Um, you know, Wayne's stepped in for saying 124 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: the phenomenal job. Eli Pennies Uh been getting some carries 125 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: and being a heck of a lee blocker. Um, old 126 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: Line's done a great job and holding down. So I 127 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: just want to come in and and just be another weapon. 128 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: Um you know, I'm not expecting the offense to be 129 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: around me by any means. I just want to help 130 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: us continue to win, because that's really that's all that matters. 131 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: That's the whole point that we all show up and 132 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, back in April and we start working out 133 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: and you know, January March or Fairbruary March is to 134 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: to you know, one win our division, get into the playoffs, 135 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: get home games in the playoffs, and obviously make it 136 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: run for the for the to be a world champion. Um, 137 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: you know, so I'm just gonna do my job. You 138 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: and Chef can be pretty interchangeable. You can both play outside, 139 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: you can both play the slot. How do you think 140 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: that might provide some defenses some challenges as they try 141 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: to prepare for you guys and judge what you might 142 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: do based on formation, how you wind up and stuff 143 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: like that. You know, I think it's gonna be fun 144 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: because we both can do a lot on the field. Um, 145 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: you know, I think it makes it hard for defensive 146 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: figure out when you know, not one guy has a tendency. Um, 147 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, in the past of in the offenses where 148 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: you you know, you just know nine percent a time, 149 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm being a slot and you just know on third down, 150 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: I'm probably running some sort of route. I think in 151 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: this offense, what I can get a feel for is that, 152 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: you know, I can they they stress learning the the 153 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: entire concept and entire offense that receiver, you know, regardless 154 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: if it's you know, X F or Z, and I 155 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: think I've I've done a decent job of learning that. 156 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: So you know, we all can be interchangeable. So you know, 157 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what happens. Um, a lot of 158 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: playmakers on the field. Now you have an up close 159 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: and personal experience against this Vikings defense having played with 160 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: the Lions all those years, and the personnel is very similar, 161 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: their schemes very similar. What makes them, from your perspective, 162 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: such a tough defense to deal with. You know, those 163 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: guys have been playing together for the most part for 164 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: a few years now. Um. You know, I look look 165 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: at the roster. A lot of guys that are on 166 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: the team this year on the team two and three 167 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: years ago. So they played very well together. Um, they're 168 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: hard nosed defense. Um. You know, in the back end 169 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: is what I specialized on studying the DBS. You know, 170 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm unfamiliar with Trey. Wayne's a fast guy who is 171 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: I can move around very well and get smarter each year. 172 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: Obviously z a year. Rhodes is a spectacular shut down. 173 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Like Corner, you got Harrison Smith, who I went to 174 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame with. We're both from Tennessee. Um, you know, 175 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: a free safety that can get in the box or 176 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: can play deep. Uh, you never know what he's gonna do. Um. 177 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: The one I'm not as familiar with. His number forty one. 178 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: They're they're strong safety hairs. But just look watching him 179 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: on film, he's you know, he flies around the nice 180 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: pick versus the falcons on Yeah, yeah, yeah. So obviously 181 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: he's got decent hands. So you know, we we're gonna 182 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: have a big time challenge coming up. But at the 183 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: end of the day, I think I don't think it's 184 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: ever really about who we play. I think it's always 185 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna be about what we do, how we prepare. Um, 186 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: I feel like we go out there and play good sound, 187 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: fundamental football, limit penalty's, keep keep the ball in their hands, 188 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: be efficient on third down. I think we're gonna be 189 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: just fine. It doesn't matter who we play, so you know, 190 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: just do our job. And it won't matter who we 191 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: play week in a week out. Watching Harrison Smith on tape, 192 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 1: he seems to be a big key to everything they do. 193 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: He can go down low a lot of times will 194 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: show too deep. He'll either charge late, he'll start the line, 195 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: they will drop back into into a too deep coverage. 196 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: What are some of the things you guys can keep 197 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: an eye on without obviously giving away state secrets to 198 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: figure out how they're disguising their coverages, which obviously can 199 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: impact maybe how you run your routes and what kind 200 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: of check Daniel Jones might make it the line. Yeah, 201 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: I think this is uh a week where we have 202 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: to do a lot of extra studying and try to 203 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: find any tips we possibly can uh to help us, 204 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: because I think they do a really really good job 205 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: at disguise, and you never know who's gonna be playing 206 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the strong safety or the free safety on any giving play, 207 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: like like like we're just talking about, you can have 208 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: number twenty two down on the line of scrimmage and 209 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: then get out of there and being covered two. So 210 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna find we're gonna have to use 211 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: our keys and our tips to decipher what they're in Um, 212 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: and I feel like if we can understand what they're 213 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: trying to do to us, I think it's gonna make 214 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: our jobs easier. So um, you know, we we you know, 215 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: we still got one more day of preparation, physical preparation, 216 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: and Saturday will be more of a mental day, so 217 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: we got time to kind of really dial into it. 218 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: But kind of gotta be ready for anything. I mean, 219 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: you gotta be ready for all types of blitz is um, 220 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, for them to show blitz and get out 221 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: of there. Um, you know, it's more so upfront type 222 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: of thing though. Yeah. They're physical though, and and they're 223 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: gonna try to beat you up. Do you see a 224 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: difference when you play them when they're at home versus 225 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: on the road. What type of advantage being the MetLife 226 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: Stadium does it give you against that defense? Um? You 227 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: know obviously, uh, you know, being at home, the noise 228 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: is going to be a big thing that hopefully helps 229 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: us when the defense is out there for sure, and 230 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, an offense, we expect our our fans be 231 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: pretty quiet until we make those big plays, so we'll 232 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: be able to hear the play calls. We'll be able 233 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: to we know the snap counts and things like that. 234 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: So we're gonna use all that time advantage. You know, 235 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: like I said, this is a defense that's really really good. 236 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: And you know, any edge we can get from you know, 237 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: snap counts to you know, going fast or slower, whatever 238 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: it may be, we're gonna try to take advantage of. Um. 239 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: You know. The good news is um little head coach 240 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: used to coach there UM, so he understands that organization 241 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: very very well. That understands a lot of those players. 242 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: So we've been leaning on him for advice and coaching 243 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: tips and and things to give us an edge. So 244 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, uh, we're gonna see what happens. We're gonna 245 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: finish this week strong and and see what happens. The 246 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: final question, you've played at Met Life Stadium as an opponent. 247 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: You played in the preseason as a member of the Giants. 248 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: This will be your first regular season game marching out there. 249 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: I know playing here is a big part of why 250 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: you chose New York when you were a free agent. 251 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: How excited you just to get out there in front 252 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: of the home crowds for a home game you've won. 253 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to build on a winning street 254 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: care and just kind of all that stuff put together.
