WEBVTT - Calvin Pace Conference Call (12.28.2015)

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Calvin, if you could step inside Rex Ryan's mind for

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a second, what do you think he's thinking about this week,

0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>at this opponent and what the circumstances are for you guys.

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna come in with the same minds

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that he had the last time. Um, he's gonna pay

0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>a team he's doing. He knows the person that up

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty well, and I just think they're gonna come in

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 1>with this ruin our season type mentality. But you know,

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Rich is a provaul guy, so I know I'm gonna

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>have a seam raiser to play. How much do you

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>think he's thinking about knocking you guys out of the playoffs?

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think, you know, it's it's a major

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>motivation for him, but I think more so than anything, uh,

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>he probably want to finish to see you on the

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.160
<v Speaker 1>winning note. Also, so I think both of those playing

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>factor ins who um, you know their motivation coming into

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>this game. Kline, at what point did you start to

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>believe that this team could could do something special and

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>could go on and run like it well be getting

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>the season. I thought, you know, we had the time,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and I thought everything was the place. You know, things happened,

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, some us and downs. Um, you know, things

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that look too good there and there's a little bog

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and stress, but you know the over time, the over

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>time winning gets the Giants show with a lot of characters, UM,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fights. You know, it's it's tough trying

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to come back on the team and then had to

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>go to over time and trying to find more to

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>get to push to get the win. So I think

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that win right there kind spring boarded our season and

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>help build some moving force. Calvin, you know yesterday, you know,

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>having into yesterday, you guys were kind of long shots

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to make the postseason just because you know, you needed

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to do things yourself, you needed other winds elsewhere. But

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of flipped on its head and you were

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a chance to think about how well yesterday went for

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys, and can you can you put in the

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>words what it feels like reflecting on what happened yesterday, Well,

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it feels good. I woll see to win, um with

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the thing that that feels great to me was just

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the execution and just finishing the game. UM. I know

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>for myself up in that situation and a lot of

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>times with the Patriots where you played a great game.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Everything's worth and the last second, the last minute and

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever you end up losing, and it just it always

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>feels good to beat them. But just the manner that

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>you know they were we we were down, I mean,

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>we're even and then he had taken in the overtime

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and see the offense moved the ball with it was

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>great to see. I was, I was very proud of

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 1>those guys. That's the way that they just kind of

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>work their way down the field. And cord of Susom Calvin,

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>how much of her relief is it for you too?

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think you kind of maybe alluded to this

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the year. To have an offense that is

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>just capable of this group, obviously, that's been something that's

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>been lacking from this team ever since you got just

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>to play playoffs and it's playoffs drive. How nice is

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that to have a offension that really can do its part.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>It's the very thing, man, you know, I truly feel

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the best defense is a good offense. Uh, you know,

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>things are just clicking, you know. You know, obviously Brandon

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>mort was having an awesome year. Death is having a

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>great year of business. He's been He's been amazing for us,

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, it's it's balance and it's it's fun

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to watch and when they're clicking is uh it helps

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>us out a lot. And I think, you know, it's

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>just it's fun to watch all three phases kind of

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>start coming to their own and uh, just having a

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>good team complete Winhams kind of was already a point

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>in the last few years where you started to wonder

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>whether you get another shot at the playoffs. Not really,

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I really do always feel good

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>about coming into the but you know this year from um,

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mike mcadney coming in, co vol coming in

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and and the things that they built through creation, through

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the draft, and um, it was a nice to the

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>pieces come together. So, UM, I still agree with about it.

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.479
<v Speaker 1>Coming into this year, I thought, you know, it wasn't

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a guarantee, nothing to guarantee what I thought, you know,

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>this is a good chance that we've had in the

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>last few years. So it's it's just nice to see

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it running about. Capital n't make your sense that that

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the team really started buying into what the coach Boles

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>would selling. Um. Actually, I think after the Houston off,

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just it was a point in time

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>where we just kind of had we had to come

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>together or the same the ship was gonna think, I

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>think so um, you know obviously always wasn't working as players,

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 1>and you know we weren't. We weren't um, you know,

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>focusing on with details and us so hey, that's why

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I get all when you know, on coat gold stead

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of those. It just kind of happened. It was no

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>brainer for us to keep going for the season turned around.

0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>We just no choice for us. It's kind of let's

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>just a slot of them man, and let him take us. Uh,

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it's where we need to go. Kevin, you would say

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>strand Fitstatrick previous seasons. Obviously he was a guy who

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>had been a fine quarterback, you know, nothing spectacular for

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of his careers, having an outstanding stretch here.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>What were your perceptions of them? You know before you

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>guys traded for him and then you know, maybe how

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>had you kind of change some of those getting GM

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and play with him every day Now. I've always saw

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Holly fit. I really had a lot of He was

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy who's very competitive guy. Um, you know, I

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say he hasn't gone in best teams

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>in the world. But I think it's nice seeing weapons run,

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>good offen line, good running game. But I really have

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>always thought how this Um it's far. I pusn't been

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo um astro on the ball around, so I probabays

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 1>he's always been a guta U because I'd like, Calvin,

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 1>will you say anything to some of the younger guys,

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you know about seizing this moment and how you know

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't come along too often? Um, you know, I'm

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>not gonna beat it in their heads during the week.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I think they know. Um, you know, I'm might say

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>a little something for the game, but everybody's everybody's focusing

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ye so don't you know, I'm not

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be giving these rob Rock speeches. Um, you know

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it's And the good thing is we played Buffalo, so

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like we're familiar with what's going on. You know.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It's just about um, you know, maybe looking at the

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>game earlier in the year, you know, show up some

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>areas we were bad and go out and go out

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>and play. Calvin leaving up to the game you guys

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>played in Miami two years ago, when you guys had

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 1>been eliminated in Miami, go alive. How much did Rex

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>play up that angle during the week and with the win,

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys could knock thematic convention, you know, and I

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>could be honest, which actuallyn' um, I couldn't say you

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>any kind of what he was saying. Motivational wise, I

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>want to say that that was a year we're kind

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>of fighting to try to keep his job on, So

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a little bit more motivation and

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to knock him out of the playoffs. Calvin, you

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>mentioned after the game yesterday that you had felt it

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was kind of meant to be that you guys would

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>being would end up in the playoffs. Uh, why do

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you feel that way? What made you kind of feel

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>strongly that that's sort of how it convanted me? What

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>was the end of talent is there? Um? You know,

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>just what's being the offense before doing training camp? Um

0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that everything, I mean, watching the whole thing kind of

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>come together, you know, I feel it's the ingredients were there.

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>It kind of reminded me of two thousand tends and

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>you you know, got FD Jason player. No guys um

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe not having much talent that you know as far

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>as older talents in that year, but you know, it

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 1>was the same type of feeling um and we had

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>some rough spots in that year too. I mean it

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>wasn't just smooth, father, So I said that the agreedients, whatever,

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>it just was. You know, everybody could leave and then

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you know it's coming together
