1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: All right, so first day of practice. We've been through 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: all the pre stuff, you know. I think the run yesterday, 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: the guys all handled it well. They're in good shape, 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: so I look forward to getting going. Um, Alex Westley, 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: I guess is on pup and then you guys all 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: saw that Cameron Moore's on the Commissioner's list. So a 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: couple of other changes as we go through. I think 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: the important thing to remember on some of the changes 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: we make it is we're always trying to spend the 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: back part of the roster to get a look at people. Um, 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think that's philosophically what we're gonna do 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: as we go through it. So from time to time 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: there'll be a roster change and it will be just 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: to make sure we're, you know, we're doing a good 15 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: job kicking the tires on guys that potentially might have 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: a chance to make our team. So with that, I'll 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: take your questions and looking you share about I really 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: can't share much, you know, obviously they're very serious allegations. 19 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: He's on a commissioner's list, and you know that's that's 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: designed so they can go through the pro us. But 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: that's all I'll share nothing to handle. He's on the 22 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: commissioner's list. That's it. We're not first few days about 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: in terms of evaluation, in terms of just getting back 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: out there. What are you looking for? Yeah, we're well, 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: it's really a continuation, you know, you go back to 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the first install, certainly, but the first installs have the 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: flavor of the whole offseason that worked into him. So 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: it's a continuation of the spring um and you get 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: ready to play this first game here in two weeks 30 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: and then you know, so it's a process for all 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: the players, but it's also a process physically and mentally 32 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: and getting the guys in the in the kind of 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: shape they need to get into to play season. On 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: day one with Daniel Jones, do you look at it 35 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback as day one of building him up or 36 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: would you like to kind of throw him into the 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: fire a little bit and see how he does with 38 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: what he's learning the last couple of months. Yeah, well, 39 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to, you know, have him continue with 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: what he has learned. And I think the rookie camp 41 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: was a continuation of what he learned in the spring, 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: and each day he'll build on on that knowledge and 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's full steam ahead with him. 44 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: There was something written about You're gonna bring you along, 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Eli along slowly. Is that no, you'll get the same 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: amount of reps as always. Yeah, I don't. I didn't 47 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: say that. I again, I don't read it. Also, that 48 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: would be news to me. I un players will have 49 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: a shirt with the slogan on the back and the 50 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: old ball. Yeah, exact your creation. No, you know, actually, 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: I guess that's been a little bit of a tradition 52 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: here with the Giants and uh Pat Handlin. Actually, you know, 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: it was so we actually, but you know, I think 54 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: it's it can mean different things to different people. But 55 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: it's I talk all the time. It's all about the ball, 56 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: and um, you know, it's also about let's just keep 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: the focus on playing football. So you know, each player 58 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: may have a little different, um, you know, evaluation of 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: what that is. But it's kind of nice when we 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: all get a new T shirt that has to go 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: to meet you at some point, right yeah, no, I okay, sure, yeah, sure, 62 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: how etcetera. To get your starting offensive line. Anyways, because 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: Remmers couldn't do much during the springs do much during 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: the spring and for unit to meet so much of 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: the offense. You know, how about how interesting you to 66 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: get those pod guys on the field together. Yeah, good point. Uh. 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: I think Remors and and sold are are pros, and 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: so they know how to get themselves ready to go. 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: Remors looks as good as he's looked, and again I 70 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: was with him in Minnesota, so he's excited to get going. 71 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: I think the important thing for guys that are coming 72 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: back from injury, and we talked about this last year 73 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: with a few guys that were coming back from injury, 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: is to give them the work they need, but then 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: ramp them up. And so I think that's what you're 76 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna see. We've had some young players that are developing 77 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: in that group that have a chance to play this year, 78 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: and so you'll see them in there as well. And 79 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: the good news is you'll be able to see it firsthand. 80 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: So but yeah, I think that at some point when 81 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: we can get them all together playing together, we need 82 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: to do that. But we're all aware of the fact 83 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: that you know you're there's gonna be backups in there 84 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: or guys significant role players, and you like to have 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: guys out there playing when they have to play that 86 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: that that have played, and I think that's a good thing. 87 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: I look at that. How do I look at it? Yeah, 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna try to put play the best player, and 89 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: I think that's that's really how we're gonna approach every spot. 90 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna put the best players team. Well, 91 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: you'll see him in there with the first team, and 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: but again we're gonna play the best player at the defense. 93 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: They have a lot of new faces. Obviously it's year 94 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: two sitting Thereretically, in year two they should be further 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: along than they were least hip, but given the new faces, 96 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: where you kind of surprised what you saw in the spring, 97 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: it looked like they kind of came to get it 98 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: quickly or yeah, I think so. So so some of 99 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: the new faces are veteran players that we feel, you know, 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: they're they're pros, and so they took two things quickly 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: because they're used to learning and they've been in systems 102 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: and so it made sense to them. And then we 103 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: have some younger players, you know, freshman freshman rookies that 104 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: played a year ago and played a lot of football 105 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: and uh so they got more experience than maybe some 106 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: guys at God certain positions. So um, I wasn't surprised 107 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: that they came together. Now now it's a matter of 108 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: doing it here in camp and and doing it on Sunday. 109 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: And how much how much work was Kuan deep this 110 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: summer in training, camp, practice, recing the games compared to 111 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: where he was last year, I guess, And how you 112 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: probably want to budget him a little bit for Sea? Yeah, 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: good point. Uh, I think se Kwan needs to get 114 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: his work like every player, and you know, we'll just 115 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: gauge it as we go here, you know, But he's 116 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: in tremendous shape. Um, he looks he looks really good. Um, 117 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: he's had a great offseae. He's in terms of training 118 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: and um, I think he's ready to go. So we'll 119 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: try to get him ready and um, just like we 120 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: will all the other players. You obviously come back to. 121 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: We're impressed and let's sake to draft and where you did. 122 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: But is there a point he even pressure even more 123 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: with his the way he handled the locker room and 124 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: leadership and his consistency left that throughout the year. Yeah, 125 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: I think you know, the more you're around him, you 126 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: see and we've said it, I think he's got a 127 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: generational spirit, and it showed it up on game day, 128 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: it shows up in the locker room, it shows up 129 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and you know he leads by example, 130 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: but he's also willing to say things that are important 131 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: to him, you know. And I think as he becomes 132 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: more veteran in this league, if he keeps the mindset 133 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's a second year player, but come in 134 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: with that rookie mindset of trying to learn and get better, Um, 135 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: then he'll continue to have a great career. Are you 136 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: comfortable with your depth at safety? He brought a couple 137 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: veterans in for a workout, curious if Julian Love seems 138 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: like he might be getting a look there, but he's yeah, 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: now he'll get some looks there. Uh. Yeah, we're comfortable 140 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: with the depth and we're comfortable with the players we 141 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: have on the roster. Not to say that we won't, 142 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, spin the back of the roster a 143 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: little bit at all positions. Um, but yeah, we're comfortable. 144 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: But are there is there a competition at every position 145 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: including the quarterback tradition? You know? I think organically a 146 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: coach likes to say that. Um. I think you know, 147 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: when you look at the roster, I think everybody's gonna 148 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: attempt a pencil in who will start. But I think 149 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: what you want on the field is a competitive spirit 150 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: where each guy is trying to get better each day 151 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: and then trust that we're going to play the best players. 152 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: And I think that's that's the approach. The hardest part 153 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: for young quarterback at his stake of the training campaigixt Fee. 154 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I think the you know, a lot is made of 155 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: the speed of the game, you know, and how things 156 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: happen quick her um. I think the one thing that's 157 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: different about the pro game as opposed to the college game. 158 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: And I learned this from a couple of young quarterbacks. 159 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, in college, sometimes you look out and everybody's open, 160 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: you know, so you get used to a lot of success. 161 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: There's time in the pro game when you look out 162 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: and there may be only one or none of them 163 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: are open. Okay, so what do you do then? And 164 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: so I think because the defenses fight back really hard 165 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: in this league, I think that's a little bit for 166 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: for the quarterback to get used to. You guys made 167 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: a pretty big investment in Sterling this offseason. Sure, what 168 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I guess in terms of where do you see him 169 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: elevating a game? Can he beat and I don't even 170 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: know add the funds? But can he be a number 171 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: one receiver in the NFL? But obviously he's been number 172 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: two here for a live No, I think he can be. 173 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: And you know he's Sterling is a football player, and 174 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: we appreciate, you know, his toughness and his ability to 175 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: make plays and and all the things he adds to 176 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the team. You know, he's a value added guy in 177 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: my mind. You know, he plays his position, but he 178 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: makes the people around him better and I think that's 179 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: what all the players she strived to do. Check two more. 180 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: I know you get a lot of data and information. 181 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: Is there anything that says, you know, you want to 182 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: keep him within a certain number of carries touches? Anything 183 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: like you okay with him touching about three hundred pust times. 184 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: If we need be well, we'll we'll see what it 185 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: takes to win football games. But certainly we want to 186 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: try to do the best thing. I think we'll all 187 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: agree it makes sense for him to touch the ball 188 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: and as we go along, um, you know, we also 189 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: need to spread the ball around to whether we're throwing 190 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: it to him or handing it to him, subbing him 191 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: at times. We did sell him last year at times. 192 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Then we'll continue to do that. Is there a threshold 193 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: at some point? And I think each guy's yeah, no, 194 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: I get it. I get it because there's this season 195 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: and then beyond, and so we're always aware of all 196 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: of that and try to be SMA aren't with it 197 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: and do everything we possibly can to win games. But 198 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: players safety is important as well. Last down the structure. 199 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: Last year, a little like Evan really established himself in 200 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: this offense. And where is that? Obviously in the spring, 201 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: you guys held him back a little bit for whatever 202 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: was right. Where do you see his game, his fit 203 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: and what do you expect from from Evan? Well, I 204 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: think a year two in our system, you know he's 205 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: he's I've got a better feel for who he is 206 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: as a player, And I think the same could be 207 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: said for a lot of our players on offense. Once 208 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: we sort of solidified what our two thousand eighteen version 209 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: of the old line was though, you could see what 210 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: more of the skill players could do. Um and you know, 211 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: he's a very dynamic pass receiver. He can make plays 212 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: down the field. He improved his blocking in my in 213 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: my view, and um, you know, we hope he has 214 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: continues to improve in all those areas because you're I mean, 215 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: you're a tight end guy who you know, it's one 216 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: of the positions that yeah, yeah, no, and they're important 217 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: to the offense. And so a guy that can make 218 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: plays and be dynamic like Evan can be. Um in 219 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: some ways, he's got some traits of a white out, 220 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: you know that that's challenging for defense.
