1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Is it a situation where you know, after the way 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: you guys lost again, it was it almost like was 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: this a shock but not a shock? It was definitely 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: a shock. 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 2: I mean obviously like people right about and all that, 6 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 2: but like in here, like as long as people are 7 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: shown up to work and you don't have to work, 8 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: you assume they're going to be here. 9 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: You know. 10 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: We never assumed that somebody is going to be going. 11 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: So it definitely was a shock to us as players. 12 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: But you know, at the same time, like we also 13 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 2: understand the business and how it goes. 14 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: Is there a sense of you know, you give your 15 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: all every day, but still at the end of the 16 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 3: day it resulted in somebody losing their job, you feel 17 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 3: almost like a sense of regret. 18 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 2: Not regret, because I mean we tried, you know, it 19 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: wasn't like, you know, we didn't you know, go out 20 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: there and give our best effort to get the wins 21 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: that you know obviously would ultimately help him keep his shop. 22 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: We just weren't able to get that done. So you know, 23 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say regret is the word, but I mean, obviously, 24 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: you know, you feel and feel for his family, you know, 25 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: wish some of the best you will obviously for a while. 26 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, ready for this? And what's yeah? I think so. 27 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: I think he's in a great job of leading us 28 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: as an offense. And obviously, you know, he gess kind 29 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: of expand his role into leading the entire team with 30 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: defense and special teams. So you know, I think he's 31 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: ready for He does a great job of staying in 32 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: front of the guys and kind of giving the charge, 33 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: given direction over the past couple of days. And obviously 34 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: we know he's a good play caller, so you know, 35 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: I think he'll do a good job. 36 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: Did you notice anything different about him today? Today was 37 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: the first that you ever knew him as a head coach? Yeah? 38 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: Did he seem any different to you? Do you look 39 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: at him any different? Yeah? I mean I think he definitely. 40 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: Had a lot of energy. You know, I feel like 41 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: he was energized today. You know, he came in. You 42 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: know what you could tell he's like had a positive mindset, 43 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 2: opportunistic mindset, you know, so to speak. And you know, 44 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: I think anybody that gets a chance to get a 45 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: job and get a promotion, so to. 46 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Speak, you know, you should be that way. 47 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 4: We don't see a lot of his personality is there 48 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: more passion, more fire, more energy to him than maybe 49 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 4: we've seen, you know, with him as number two. 50 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think he's yes, for sure, you know, 51 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: I think in a while setting or whether that be 52 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: in the meeting or in the sideline, I definitely think 53 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: he has some fire and passion in him. But you know, 54 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: at the same time, he's probably naturally a little bit 55 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: more of a calmer personality, so to speak. But you 56 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: know that can be helpful, you know, especially in a 57 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: high pressure game like we're in, you know, a week 58 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: in and week out, you know that calming presence can 59 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: definitely be beneficial. 60 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: Darry says a team leader there, you know you've gone 61 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: through this before. There are some guys who haven't. So 62 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: what would be your message to the guys who haven't 63 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: gone through this who maybe are uncertain right now? 64 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: Yeah? 65 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the human nature thing would be, 66 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: you know, we have two wins or ten weeks, and 67 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: we have seven weeks left, and you know some people 68 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: would pack it in, you know, say our head coach 69 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 2: got fired whatever, But the reality of this league is 70 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: that you know, with change comes change, and you don't 71 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: know whether or not you will or will not be 72 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: a part of those changes. So it would behoove you 73 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 2: as individual to do your best overly seven weeks and 74 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: give your best effort and try to get some wins 75 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: on the board in order to try to keep yourself 76 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: in the Giant's uniform. So, as you know, that's mostly 77 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: what I'll tell guys. You know, it's like now, it's 78 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: definitely not the time to relax, and we need to 79 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: go out there and try to put our best be forward. 80 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 3: Are you going to have your antenna up to look 81 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: for guys that maybe are kind of thrown in the 82 00:02:59,000 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: towel prematurely. 83 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: No, because I don't think that'll be a problem on 84 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: this team. We have the right kind of guys around here, 85 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: and I think guys will go out there and get 86 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: their best effort. But you know, obviously, if this is 87 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: your first time going through this, you just don't know. 88 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: But I do know, you know, so you know, I 89 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: just try to share share wisdom when I can. 90 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: It's a little bit different for you this time, yes, 91 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 5: because the last two coaches I got fired Barre at 92 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 5: the end of the season and now he's out in 93 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 5: the middle of season. Like, how does that get processed differently? 94 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 5: I guess for you the guy's been happened in the 95 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 5: middle of the season. 96 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, in the middle of season obviously it's like somebody 97 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: gets promoted to interim, so it's it's more so shifting 98 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: to that person. But in the span of forty eight 99 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: hours as posting off season, it's like you said, you wait, 100 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: somebody gets announced, then you don't even see him to 101 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: OTAs like you have a lot of time to sit 102 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: and you know and get ready. But in season, you know, 103 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: we've had twenty four thirty six hours whatever to you know, 104 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: get ready for calf, but you know, are ready for him, 105 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: and he seems to be ready and are rad to 106 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: rock It? 107 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: Is it just odd coming in today? You know, the 108 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: guy who has been the head coach here for the 109 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: last three and a half years. Is he's a big 110 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: presence here. Is it odd to come in and he's gone. 111 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: He's just that's it. It's somebody else is there. 112 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course he's a head coach. You know you're 113 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: obviously gonna notice that presence being gone. But you know, 114 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: like I said, cast film role and I think he's 115 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: gonna do a great job and look forward to. 116 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Working with him. 117 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: Have you had questions from your defensive teammates who haven't 118 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: really done that we have much. What's he like? What 119 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: can we expect? 120 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: Not a ton, but you know, I just try to 121 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: tell him what he's like, you know, as a guy, 122 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: and you know what to kind of expect something. 123 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 5: You guys are gonna have your third different quarterbacks start 124 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 5: this week. Just we've seen a lot of energy, looks 125 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 5: like from Jamis is up on the sidelines with I mean, 126 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 5: what is he going to bring this week? 127 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think just positive energy. 128 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,119 Speaker 2: You know, Jamis is a positive guy, but he's also 129 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: kind of an electric personality so to speak. You know, 130 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: a guy that you know draws people in and it 131 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: makes people believe. So you know, look forward to playing 132 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: one of this week. 133 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: He's a quarterback. There is that he's going to give 134 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: his guys a chance. Yeah, for sure, you know what 135 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: I mean.

How does that change your 138 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: mindset when you're out there? 139 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 2: You know, everybody's alive, doesn't matter where you're running or 140 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 2: what you're running. You know, he can gun it anywhere, 141 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: and he will gun it anywhere. And as for a 142 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: first ever, you know, that's what you love. You know, 143 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: you love to have a change, so that to feel 144 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: like a guy that's going to give you a chance. 145 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: And you know, I think that's kind of been James's 146 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: whole career, is that type of mo and why he's 147 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: led the league in passing before, you know, So you know, 148 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: like I said, I think he'll do a great job. 149 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: So we could that energy be something, you know, considering 150 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 4: everything that's going on, could that energy that he brings 151 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: me something that's. 152 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: Helpful for sure? 153 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: Of course, you know, I mean I think I think 154 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: everybody's kind of going about this, you know, the best 155 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: way I can to justin as fast as they can. 156 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: But obviously there's differences in how, you know, day's versus 157 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: cap approach things. 158 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: There's small changes for us. 159 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: But you know, I think on top of that, you know, 160 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: having somebody like James that's a steady presence, a veteran presence, 161 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 2: definitely helps. 162 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: How would you feel, Yeah, I'm good. 163 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: Probably, Yeah, I'm good. 164 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: You didn't practice it all today?
