1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Hey guys. First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. And

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: just before we get started, I'd love to just uh

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: send my condolences to to to Heidie Paul and the

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Paul family. Um. You know, we're all really saddened by

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: the the tragic death of Marcus Paul. I know Marcus

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: was here with the Giant Organization for a number of years.

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: He was with us in Dallas the last couple of years.

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: But I've known him for a long long time. You know,

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: he played on those great Syracuse teams of the late

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: eighties with Daryl Johnson and so many other guys, and uh,

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: he is Uh. Anybody who has had the great fortune

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: of being around Marcus Paul knows the kind of person

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: he was and the positive impact he had on so

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: many people's lives. Really had an amazing spirit. So we

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: all continue to be saddened by his death and h

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: are there for his family as they go forward. Very

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: sad and tragic situation. The other thing I just wanted

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: to touch on is the situation with Mark Colombo. I

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: no coach Judges has talked about that in a rest

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: that so I don't know. I don't see any reason

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: for me to talk about it much further. Joe took

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: care of all that and we're focused on what we

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: need to do this weekend against Cincinnati. Thank you, coach.

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about Daniel and Jones. Has

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: he gotten more responsibility as he grows with his comfort

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: level in this offense and can you speak what type

27
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: of growth he's had as far as his responsibility in

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: the offense. Well, Daniel is a really smart person, and

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: he's a really smart football player, and uh, you know,

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: he's getting more and more experience here over the first

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: couple of years in his career. And you know, the

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: more experience he gets, you know, as a player at

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: this level and also in this offense, you know, the

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: more exposure and um responsibility he'll have. But you know,

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: there's never been a minute with him that you say, boy,

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: he can't handle it mentally or he can't handle it physically.

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: It's just more about having experience. And I think we've

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: grown as an offense over the course of the year.

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: I think individuals have grown. I think collectively we've grown

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: and uh, and guys are settling into what we're asking

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: them to do. And the more experience and more reps

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: we get at things. I think we're executing them at

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: a higher level. And that applies to Daniel, but it

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: really applies to everybody across our offense. Zack, Hey, Jason Um,

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: I was wondering, you know, obviously it's pretty unusual to

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: bring in and you do have a new offensive line coach. Now,

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: it's it's unusually bringing a new one in the middle

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: of the season like this. I'm curious, like how that transition,

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: how do you see that going and if there's any

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: concern with you know, with all these young offensive linemen,

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: bringing somebody who maybe teaches different techniques than Mark did

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: coming in. Yeah, you know, we had a really good

53
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: week and I think the growth and development of the

54
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: offensive line over the course of the year has been

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: significant and they've gotten better and better and better. And

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: it's really to that same point that we're talking about

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: with Daniel. They're young players, and they're growing in the offense,

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: and they're growing just by playing at this level individually

59
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: and then playing together, and they go about it the

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: right way and they're learning from their experiences. So you know,

61
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: anybody who's watched us play has seen the progress and

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, with those guys up front, you know, blocking

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: much better in the running game. The protection has improved

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: as the year has gone on, and we've played better

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: as an offense as a result, and that just going

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: to continue. You know, Dave Google as as as coach

67
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: in this league for a long time. Ben Wilkerson has

68
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: been around this league for a long time. Those guys

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: are in good hands and they hit the ground running

70
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: this week and excited about this opportunity against Cincinnati. Thanks Kennaby.

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Hey Jason, how are you doing? Doing great? Happy Thanksgiving

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 1: to you, Same to you, um speaking of I mean

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: it since two thousand and seven, you've been nothing but

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: on the field on Thanksgiving Day? Was it weird being home?

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: I guess you know, it was a little bit different. Uh.

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: You know, when I was playing with the Cowboys in

77
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: the nineties, you know, we played on Thanksgiving, you know,

78
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: every year that back then as well. So I've been

79
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: really fortunate to play on Thanksgiving a lot throughout my

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: life and those are great experiences. But it was a

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: little bit different yesterday, a little bit more of a

82
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: traditional Thanksgiving and that's pretty good too, Thank you. Leonard. Jason,

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: were you aware of the plan to bring in Google

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: to Google emo to consult and did you agree with

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: that decision, especially when you were just saying yourself, you

86
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: feel like the line has been getting better. So is

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: that something you were aware that was happening and something

88
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: you agreed with as well? Again, Joe, Joe touched on

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: that whole situation, you know, earlier in the week, So

90
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let his words stand again. We're excited about

91
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the growth and development the line, and they're in good

92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: hands right now. We're excited about this opportunity on Sunday

93
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. It would be a good challenge for everybody. Well,

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: just one follow up, if I may. There was a

95
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: report that Joe Judge and some of his former Patriots

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: assistants are acting arrogantly in the building, as if their

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: way works and others doesn't. What is your perception of that.

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: How would you respond to an accusation like that. Yeah,

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. I know we're excited

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: about this opportunity to be here as players and coaches,

101
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: and I do think our team has gotten better over

102
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: the course of the year, and that's what we try

103
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: to do. We try to come in here and try

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: to improve, try to create an environment for our players

105
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: to improve and take advantage the opportunities on Sunday, and

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: we got a good one in Cincinnati. Let's let's take

107
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: two more Duggan and do be Duggan. Hey, Jason, I

108
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: mean you said the offensive line was improving. I think

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: that's probably what caught So you go off guard with

110
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the timing of everything. Why do you think the offensive

111
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: line has been getting better in the last couple of weeks?

112
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: You know, I think the biggest thing that we try

113
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: to do is create an environment for those guys to

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: improve individually and collectively. But then if you have the

115
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: right kind of guys, you know, hopefully they learned from

116
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: their experiences. And when you're playing young guys or playing

117
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: guys who have been playing different positions, you know, the

118
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to grow each week is significant. And you know,

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: sometimes you grow when you have positive experiences that you

120
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: can build on, and sometimes you learn from negative experiences

121
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: or adversity. And uh, if you have the right kind

122
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: of guys on your team who love ball, who want

123
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: to work out and I want to learn, you know

124
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: you have a chance to get better. And we certainly

125
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: have a team made up of those kinds of guys.

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: We're not even close to where we need to be.

127
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: We all recognize that, but guys are working hard the

128
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: right way and uh and I think that approach is

129
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: helping us improve each week. Thanks last one, here's Jason Uh.

130
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: I asked Joe this, I should ask you this. How

131
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: would you characterize your relationship with Joe? Because obviously, you

132
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: know he let go of one of your friends, and

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: we talk about all the time how this is a

134
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: personal business, so I'm sure there were some personal feelings there.

135
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: How would you characterize your relationship with Joe? Right now?

136
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: I think I have a great relationship with Joe. I

137
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of respect for him, you know,

138
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: like I said from Afar, you know, when he was

139
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: coaching in New England and all the people I know

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: have been around, I've had great respect for him, and

141
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, my time with him in New York has

142
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: been really positive experience for me. I've learned tremendous amount

143
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: from him. I like the program that we're trying to

144
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: build here with our team and how we go about it.

145
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: So I have nothing but great respect for him and

146
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity to coach for him here in New York.

147
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: If I could ask one non uh Colombo question the

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: way Wayne Gallman is ru running the ball right now, Jason,

149
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: how impressive is that considering he was inactive for you

150
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: guys week two? And how much of his success right

151
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: now is you changing the play calling from maybe the

152
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of runs you envisioned with se quant to the

153
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: kind of runs that fit Wayne best. Oh, I would

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: probably answer the same way answered the earlier questions. You know,

155
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Wayne is essentially a young player. You know, with the

156
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: guys that he's played behind here, he hasn't played that

157
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: much football at this level. He's played a lot, don't

158
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but he's playing more and more as

159
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: a starter for us. And uh, you know, he's exactly

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about in terms of a player who

161
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: goes about the right way. Wayne is a great person.

162
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,400

Speaker 1: great player. It wants to be great for our team.

164
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: He works very hard at it, and he learns from

165
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: his experiences. Uh. You can see him gaining confidence as

166
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: he goes, you know, building on some of the positive

167
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: things he's done. And then you know when when he's

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: had uh, you know, an adversity or set back in

169
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: some way. You know, he tries to understand what happened

170
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: and learn from it and grow. And he's done that,

171
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: and he's embracing the opportunity. We're lucky to have him
