1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you. You've been in a

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: situation where, you know, when you were with the Patriots

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: and even last year with the Titans, where you probably

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: owned a couple of your rivals, you beat the same

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: teams every over and over and over. I'm wondering, did

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: you ever feel like that became psychological? And obviously I'm

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: asking because even though you're new here, the Eagles had

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: beaten the Giants twelve the last thirteen times. Um, yeah,

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: I can say that. Um, you know, it's very different. Obviously,

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots on the on the right side, a lot

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: of them. When I went to Tennessee, they never beat

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. They were like owing something against the Colts

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: or one and whatever against the Colts. Um, Jacksonville was

14
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: pretty split. And uh, Houston won a division like every year.

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: So we're on the wrong side of it. And um,

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: we didn't care. You know, I don't think players care.

17
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: I think, um, playing in this league for eight years,

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: the division games matter, and I think they're the toughest games.

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: I think when you play somebody twice, Um, I think

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I think it's tough because they they know your tendencies,

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: they know your players are gonna They're gonna work on

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: what hurt them last time. They're not gonna make the

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: same mistakes. They're gonna come with something different. Uh. It's

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: tougher to prepare because you know them so well, so

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: they they might change it up on you. So I

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: think division games are always tough because the familiarity and

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: when we scout, um, other teams, I know we're playing

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: the Rams or someone we don't play as often. Um,

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: we look how our division plays them, we look how

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: San Fran plays them. We look how those guys might

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: play them and say, oh, they know them, so this

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: is what they do. So I would say that division

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: games are always close games, always tough games, and it

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: comes down to toughness and physicality a lot of times.

35
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the history of the Eagles and Giants

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: come down a lot of you know, physicality and tough

37
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: hard those games there with two you know, tough cities.

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's Hey, Logan, how are you doing? Which is is

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: everything so kind of you know, slow down for you?

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: I know, I know you obviously had to take care

41
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: of some personal stuff the other day, and how are

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: you compartmentalizing everything? Yeah, I spoke about compartmentalizing, and I

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: don't know how realistic it is. I think about my

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: wife every minute of every day, but UM, you know

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: it's definitely, um emotionally tough. Um that you know she's

46
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: not she's on the mend. UM grateful to have her

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: obviously still with me. But UM, you know, like we said,

48
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: we're morning a loss at the same time. So I

49
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: can't tell anybody how to do it. Um, I just

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: try to keep pushing one foot forward every day. And

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna take that, if I'm if I am

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: going to go to work and go to football and

53
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: leave my wife, um and kids, I'm gonna make sure

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: I do my best at football and give my all

55
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: to it because that's how I provide for my family ultimately,

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and my family comes first. So um, compartmentalizing is tough,

57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I would think, and uh, just just take it the

58
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: best I can one day at a time. And also,

59
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: from like a football perspective, You've played for some pretty

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: good defenses, right, I mean you guys, buy most stats

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: are somewhere the middle of the road here, which is

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: obviously you know you're you're progressing upwards. It seems how

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: close are you to be coming one of those top

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: units in your mind, and what do you need to

65
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: do to get there? Continue to trend upward, one game

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: at a time. I think the position we're in every

67
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: game matters. UM obviously, our divisions and play Who knows,

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: we don't even know how many playoff teams are gonna

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: be this year. So we're just taking in one game

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: at a time, trying to get better. In two minute

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: UM against Philly we lost the game and two minute

72
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: at the end there we lost the lead. And last

73
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: game we had three picks in two minute, we had

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: one a halftime and we had Peppers had interception essentially

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: there in two minute there, and then I had to

76
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: one to end the game. So I think we were

77
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: trying to get better at that situation. We're getting better.

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: And third down we're light light years ahead of where

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: we were at the beginning of the year. We were

80
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the worst start down defense. Couln't get off the field.

81
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing, And I think we're playing better on

82
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: third down. And I think we've always stopped to run

83
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: pretty well. There's always big keys, keys of ours in

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: the red area. I think we're improving in the red area.

85
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks and making people kick field goals

86
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: and getting turnovers. So you know, to get to the

87
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: top is just some ranking at the end of the year.

88
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: You know, whether however they do it yards this that,

89
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: But we care about points. I think we've been a

90
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: pretty good scoring defense. I think we can approve and

91
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: I think we just want to continue that trend of

92
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: keep people out the end zone. I'm curious. I mean,

93
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: you kind of brought it up there with the two

94
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: interceptions in the two minute last week, but you know,

95
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: going back to the game against Philly, you guys cloughed

96
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: up the fourth quarter of bad. How much does what

97
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: happened last week give you, guys confidence you can carry

98
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: over to this week and how much of that can

99
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of become your identity that you can close out

100
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: teams at the end of games. You just want to

101
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: be consistent and at the end of the game is

102
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: winning time and obviously determines the outcome of the game.

103
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: Most of the time, it's a Most games aren't blowouts,

104
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: so it's gonna come down those last kind of possessions

105
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: in the end the game. As we watched football to

106
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: see who's gonna win it and who's gonna lose it.

107
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: I remember Magic Johnson quoting the last five minutes or

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter is his time. It's it's winning time.

109
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: So I think the better our best players playing those moments,

110
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: the better I play in those moments, the better Blake plays, Bradberry,

111
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: whoever may be, Leo, the better we play in those moments,

112
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: I think it's winning time for us to go make

113
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: those as we're able to do it last week the

114
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: previous game we weren't um. But it's learning learning um experiences, right,

115
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: learning opportunities. Unfortunately by taking a lass, so we had

116
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: to learn against the Eagles game, and we we did

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: it better against Washington. We gotta learn from that and

118
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: try to continue that trend. But um, you know, they gotta.

119
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: I think Carson Wentz makes some a lot of decisions

120
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: all over the place, some good and some bad. But

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I think that guy really really wants to win, and

122
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I think he puts the ball up in an opportunity

123
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: to win the games, which he did against us last time.

124
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: So I just gotta be better in those moments to

125
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: protect our defense, and I think I'm gonna be better

126
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: in these opportunities here to close the game out because

127
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: that's what they that's what the defensive allies me to do.

128
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Thanks last one here, comrade Logan. I think one of

129
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: the things that gets lost sometimes when we when we

130
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: think about your season is that you've switched positions. UM

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: hasn't gone better than you thought it would. UM, you know,

132
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it goes as I put the

133
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: work in. I think I work extremely hard. But yeah,

134
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: I've I've called myself a safety, but I've never you know,

135
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: really done it to this extent. And it is my

136
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: first year at the position full time. It's my first

137
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: year back there in the post. It's my first year

138
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: doing the same things I do UM. And I didn't

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: have the reps in training camp. I didn't have the

140
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: reps in O. T A. S. But I was working

141
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And I honestly believe UM, with my

142
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: with my work ethic and my toughness and my willingness

143
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: to be great, I think I could be the breast safety.

144
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: I think it could be the best safety in football.

145
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: And I'm working on it, and I do. I do

146
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: think I have a ways to go. I'm learning from

147
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the safeties here, I'm learning from safeties around the league.

148
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Two of my best friends are Kevin Byrd and Devin mccordy,

149
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: who are all pro the position before. So I surround

150
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: myself with guys are really good at it, and I

151
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: watched from everybody. I'm I'm developing my own style of

152
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: how to do it. But I think that, um, you know, Ultimately,

153
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: I think my toughness, my work ethic and being fundamentally sound,

154
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: and my ability to go get the ball, I think

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: is what can make me the best safety in football.

156
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna try my best to do everything I

157
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: can to be the best safety for the Giants. And UM,

158
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm excited the more reps I get every single game,

159
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: we get more comfortable at the position. What made you

160
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: go through that transition this offseason? If obviously you didn't

161
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: have a coach, you didn't have a team to to

162
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: tell you that it was you know that you had

163
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: to you had to move. Why Why did you make

164
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: that change? Um? Because I was tired of being labeled

165
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: as a slot corner. I think. UM. In Tennessee we

166
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: had three good corners and Malcolm Butler, Dorry Jackson and

167
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: myself and I played a hundred percents of the snaps

168
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: I played on the perimeter. I played outside, I played inside.

169
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I matched up on tight ends, I matched up on

170
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: running backs, I matched up on whoever Dan Peace told

171
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: me to match up. I was a versatile piece for

172
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: our defense and a key part of it, similar to Hear.

173
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: And then you know, I got labeled as a slot corner,

174
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: and I just didn't think the label is really um

175
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: fair to to modern football. I don't think we label

176
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen as a slot receiver. He's getting paid as

177
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. I don't think we lay well

178
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, who runs now
