He's talked about how 25 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: your relationship with you is kind of growing as you 26 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: worked more together this offseason. Does it mean a little 27 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: bit more something when you're getting the direction in these 28 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: meetings directly from the guy that's not just your play 29 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: cool but also your head coach. Does it hold a 30 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: little bit more weight when you're talking directly to the 31 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: guy that's kind of running the whole operation in terms 32 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: of what he wants from you as a player. 33 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. 34 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I think, you know, Dave's has been very involved, 35 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: you know, since he got here, of course, you know, 36 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 3: so we've had a lot of conversation, but you're at yeah, 37 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: certainly more in the past few months, and I feel 38 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: like we're in a good spot, Like we're like we're 39 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 3: seeing things the same the same way and on the 40 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: same page, and the communication has been good. So I think, 41 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: you know, he's been in my in my helmet all 42 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 3: training camp, and you know, we'll get out there on Sunday. 43 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: It'll be the same thing. Just an extension of that. 44 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: He is a pretty unique energy to him, right like, 45 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: do you even get that when he's communicating plays to you, 46 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: because he can be in your headset into a certain 47 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: amount of time on the play clock. Right, What is 48 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: it like kind of having that voice in your head 49 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: and is it a little bit different given his kind 50 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: of unique energy and the way he goes about his business. 51 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's very passionate, very competitive. I think. 52 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: You know you feel that you sense that in the 53 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: play call and and uh, you know, I think, uh, 54 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 3: you know a lot of times it's just the play call. 55 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: You know, you don't get any more commentary, So that's uh, 56 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: you know, it's just about the play and executing that. 57 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,839 Speaker 3: You know, in practice, you'll you're getting the play call, 58 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: and then there's you know, after your period, after your sets, 59 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 3: you're communicating, talking to coaches, going going over things. So 60 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 3: that's really where you hear the maybe that personality and 61 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 3: that passion, but uh, you know, when the play's coming in, 62 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: it's usually just a play call. 63 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: He was asked today about, you know, what he wants 64 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: from his quarterbacks, and he said, just be a good 65 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: decision maker, make good decisions. To you, what does that 66 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: mean to you as a quarterback to be a good 67 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: decision maker. 68 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: I think, you know, protecting the ball for one. I 69 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: think you know, understanding what the defense is doing, reacting, 70 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: making the right decision, making the right read. 71 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: You know, when there's a. 72 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: Chance for a shot, taking the shot and and uh 73 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: that's a good decision. And when it's not there, uh, 74 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: knowing that and making that decision too, and then doing 75 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: that on time and in rhythm, you know, keeping us 76 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: on track. 77 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: I'll get back to the shot play in a seconds. 78 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I think that's interesting too. Is it just about finding 79 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: answers given what the defense is showing you pre snap 80 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: and then what you see once you snap the ball? 81 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: Is that basically just going back to all your work 82 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: during the week and understanding what your answer is in 83 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: your play based on what the defense is showing you. 84 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: I think so, yeah. I think yeah, it's about seeing, 85 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: uh seeing the defense, seeing what they're doing, uh key 86 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: and the right guys on defense. I think you know, 87 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: you understand who who it is you're reading based on 88 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: the play, based on what the defense is doing, and 89 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: then uh making that decision and and uh you know, 90 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: seeing it the correct way. So yeah, a lot of 91 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 3: preparation goes into that, uh into uh you know, trying 92 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: to you know, uncover what the defense is in and 93 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: then and then go from there. 94 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: If you don't want to get too far into the 95 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: x's and o's, that's fine. I know a lot of 96 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: teams are leaning more into the pure progression stuff, right 97 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: you go, one, two, three, four, no matter what the 98 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: play other teams have all right, Well, if you see zone, 99 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: it's one side of the field. If it's a different zone, 100 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: it's the other side of the field. Do you guys 101 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: mix that up or do you have a specific way 102 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: that things run in Dable's offense with how you're looking 103 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: at the defense once the ball snapped. 104 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: I think we have certain plays where we do you know, 105 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 3: where we read things differently, and you know, those are 106 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: certainly two categories of plays where you'll have a pure 107 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: progression or you'll have a you know, a man side 108 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: or zone side, or you know, a certain way you're 109 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: going to read read the play. And then you know 110 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 3: there's other elements to it too, where you have a 111 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: if you have a certain look, take this match up. 112 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: If not, then you go into this progression type. 113 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 2: Uh type breeds. 114 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: So I think you know, at this point we've practiced, 115 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: you know, I've been this system now, this is going 116 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: on my third year, and we've had a whole training 117 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: camp this year where you practice those plays and you 118 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: get used to them, and what's what's my answer here 119 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: versus this? What's my answer versus this? 120 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: You know? And you got to do that on time 121 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: and in rhythm. 122 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned this being your third year. Whenever 123 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: you're in a system for the second year, I think 124 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: you got this question a million times last off season. 125 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: The second year. How much more comfortable are you in 126 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: the offense. I'm not sure if anyone has asked you 127 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: this summer. Is there a difference in your third year? 128 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Do you continually progress when you're in an offense longer 129 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: and longer? Do you feel even better about finding those 130 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: answers and knowing what you're supposed to do in certain 131 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: plays than you did even in your number two. 132 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah. 133 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: I think you know, being in the system for a 134 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: third year helps. Just playing another year of football, you know, 135 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: And yeah, I missed a lot of time last year 136 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: with the knee, but you watch football and you try 137 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: to stay on top of it. I think just another 138 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 3: year of learning and you know, you know here and 139 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: hearing the play calls, watching the film, listening to coaches. 140 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: I think you're always trying to learn and grow. But 141 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 3: I feel more comfortable than I did last year, and 142 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully that's always the case. You feel a 143 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: little bit more and more comfortable, like, you know, a 144 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: little bit more every year. 145 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: Does that show up in how quickly you can then 146 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: get through that decision making process once the ball is 147 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: in your hand? 148 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely. 149 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: I think the challenge is always, you know, can I 150 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 3: make the right decision as quickly as possible on time? 151 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: You know? 152 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: I think that's that's always a challenge. So the more 153 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: you see it, the quicker you're able to recognize it, 154 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: the you know, the quicker that decision comes. So I think, yeah, 155 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: it helps more. Reps always help. 156 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: You said it earlier, when there's a chance to take 157 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: a shot, take the shot. Otherwise it's smart to check 158 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: it down. I asked you Tyranny about that when I 159 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: talked to him earlier the year on one of the 160 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: media availabilities, and he said, what he tells you guys 161 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: is be aggressive, but don't be reckless. Right, how do 162 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: you in the heat of that moment when you have 163 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: to make that decision in half a second whether or 164 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: not to let that ball go. How do you balance 165 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: between aggressive but not reckless. 166 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, all the decisions you make are in 167 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: that so you got to get good at making decisions quickly. 168 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 3: I think that's that's part of the challenge of playing quarterback. 169 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: But it's knowing where to look, knowing where your eyes 170 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: need to be, who's the defender, you're reading, what's he doing, 171 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: what's his body language? And then you know you got 172 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: to make a make a call and go with it. 173 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: So it's just practice and repetition and seeing the right guy, 174 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: timing it up with your feet and getting the ball out. 175 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: I was talking to Eli yesterday and an interview that's 176 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: gonna air on the radio pregame show, and I talked 177 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: to him becaus he said, great wide receivers. Guys on 178 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: the top one hundred list Odo Beckham, right, Keeam next 179 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, And he talked about the impact of having 180 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: a guy that you can consider a number one and 181 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: how it makes some of that decision making process easier. Right, 182 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: all right, will you're man, I don't care what the 183 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: play is. I'm going to my guy. He's my guy. 184 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: In a great situation. Right, So if Malik does end 185 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 1: up developing into that type of number one wide receiver, 186 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: he's a rookie. We'll see how that goes. 187 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: Right. 188 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: Does that make some of the decision making process easier 189 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: for a quarterback knowing that if I'm in man, if 190 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: they're in man, I have this guy that I know 191 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: he's going to win and I can get him the football. 192 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think I think so. 193 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: I think, you know, I got a lot of trust 194 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: and faith in and all our guys. I think they've 195 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: done a really good job through camp. And you know, 196 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: I do think it is some you know, you get 197 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: man and man coverage, and you got to have a 198 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: consideration of you know, who's running which route and who's 199 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: the defender. You know, what are my guys best at, 200 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: what are the defenders best at? What's my best kind 201 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 3: of chance to to get a win here? And so 202 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 3: you're you're always considering that, I think in every play, 203 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: especially in man man coverage, and uh, we got a 204 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: lot of guys who can win and get open. But 205 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: Malik's done a great job through camp and you can 206 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 3: tell h you know how good how good he can be? Uh, 207 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: In a lot of those situations, and I have a 208 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: lot of trust and faith in them. 209 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: And for a quarterback, knowing you can put a ball 210 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: up to a guy even when he's not quote unquote 211 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: open with a ton of step and this is not believed, 212 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: this is all the wide receiver, that you can trust 213 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: them to go up and win in a contested situation. 214 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: Does that give you a lot more confidence to let 215 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: the ball go in some of those situations down the field? 216 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely? 217 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 3: I think you know, when you throw the ball, you 218 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: want to know it's going to be you know, my 219 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: guy or nobody, and my guy's going to go up 220 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 3: and fight for it. Make sure, you know, try to 221 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: catch the ball, but at the very least make sure 222 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 3: it's not in the other team's hands. And and uh, 223 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 3: you know, I got a lot of faith and confidence 224 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: in our guys doing that. And so you know, the 225 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 3: more faith and confidence you have, the more likely are. 226 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 2: To put it up there. 227 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: It was funny I was looking back at some of 228 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: your earlier stuff, and I feel like you really had 229 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: that with Golden Tate when you were here early in 230 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: your career, that there was a lot of those slot 231 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: fades where it was contested coverage, but you would throw 232 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: it to him and he would come down with the catch, 233 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: and it seemed like you were more and more willing 234 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: to give him opportunities down the field. 235 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that's I mean, you have success 236 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: with a guy and you build that confidence in the 237 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: trust that hey, I'm gonna throw you know, I'm gonna 238 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: give you a chance and counting on you to go 239 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: up and get it or to you know, make sure it's. 240 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: Not it's not in the other team's hands. 241 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: And and you know, you see a guy do that 242 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 3: in practice, and then you know they show you that 243 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: in the game and you feel good and feel confident 244 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: about about putting it up there. 245 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: You mentioned the other receivers. I feel like you're getting 246 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: a real good chemistry with Jalen Hyatt. You connected with 247 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: them on a few back shoulder plays, whether it was 248 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: the joint practices or you had a couple one on 249 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: ones on the right sideline where I feel like that's 250 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: a real feel thing, right, getting those back shoulder throws 251 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: where he needs to know when to turn, you got 252 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: to put the ball on the right spot. Is that 253 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: just a sign of how much he's grown as a receiver. 254 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: And you guys have kind of built chemistry over the 255 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: past offseason. 256 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: I think so yeah. 257 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: I think you know, those those back shoulder throws have 258 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: a lot to do with timing and you know, both 259 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: being on the same page of how a defender's playing. 260 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: You know, you kind of reading it, try. 261 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: To see it together and make the right decision, and 262 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 3: then it's about you know, ball placement and then him 263 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: judging it right and kind of falling off at the 264 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: right time. Jalen's done a good job with him throughout 265 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: training camp and he's got a really good feel for 266 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 3: for those. But we spend a lot of time together 267 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 3: this offseason, you know, throwing, working out, you know, communicating, 268 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: and I think, you know, he's had a really good 269 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 3: camp and shown up in a lot of big spots. 270 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: We haven't talked about your offensive line yet specifically, what 271 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: does it do for a quarterback to have a veteran 272 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: offensive line in front of you that can maybe help 273 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: with protections, help with pre snap stuff. You understand that 274 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to communicate and pick things up. 275 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: For a quarterback, the benefit of having a group of 276 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: front of you that's veteran, been through the wars and 277 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: you know that you have a high level of trust 278 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: in them, at least in the mental part of the game. 279 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a big I think it's a 280 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: big deal. 281 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: I think having guys who've played and played in a 282 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: lot of systems, seen a lot of different things can 283 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: problem solve on the fly, communicate, get everybody on the 284 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: same page, and then play fast. I think through the 285 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 3: week your preparation, I think that's important. Those guys know, 286 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: they know what to look for, they know how it 287 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: needs to be communicated, and then when you get out 288 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: there on the field, you know, it's just translating that 289 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: and you know, ultimately the game, some stuff's gonna come 290 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: up that you haven't you know, had time, you haven't 291 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: seen on tape, or you didn't get repped in practice, 292 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 3: and uh, you got to find a way to make 293 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: it work. And and uh, you know, having veteran guys, uh, 294 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 3: you know helps that. 295 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: It helps me. I think all those guys done a 296 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: good job all. 297 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: Right, and the just run the opponent real quick. I 298 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: think you've did a great transition because that's going to 299 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: be important this week because the Viking is going to 300 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: show you stuff that's a little crazy upfront, right, and 301 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: stuff that you haven't seen before, and stuff that maybe 302 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: they haven't shown on tape before. So what's the process 303 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: for you in the offensive line pre snap, post snap, 304 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's coming, who's not, who's faking coming, 305 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: then dropping and trying to figure all that out so 306 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: you know where to go to the go with the ball. 307 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: As part of that decision making process, we kind of talked. 308 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: About, Yeah, I think, you know, we'll certainly be prepared 309 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: and you study what they've done, what they did last year, 310 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: and have a plan for it. Have have answers, you know, 311 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: and protection and have answers with the routes, Have you know, 312 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 3: ways to to uh you know, ways to dign's what 313 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: they're doing, and then uh, you know, get to your answer. 314 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 3: But I think ultimately, you know, you build that system 315 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: and you build you know, how you know your plan 316 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 3: of how you're gonna attack it. But at the end 317 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: of the day, it's week one, week one for them 318 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: to you know, it's a different team. You don't know 319 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: exactly what they're gonna do. It's gonna be some curve balls, 320 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: and so you know that makes uh, you know, makes 321 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: you emphasize your own preparation and making sure, you're all 322 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: tight end and and everybody's on the same page, and 323 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: you know, as long as we're executing and we're seeing things, communicating, 324 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 3: doing what we need to do, you know we'll be 325 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 3: in good shape. 326 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: I know they run a lot of cover zero they 327 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: most of the league last year, second most with the Giants, 328 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: So you saw a lot of covers zero practice. So 329 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: how much does that those reps against cover zero, which 330 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: i'mure're gonna see plenty on Sunday kind of help you 331 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: be prepared for a game like this against the Vikings, 332 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: even though the base of their schemes might be a 333 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: little bit different. 334 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, uh, going up against Wink 335 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: last year in practice and and his different looks and 336 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: pressures and you know, as a quarterback challenge the protection system. Yeah, 337 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: I think all that all that's helpful. And more reps 338 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: you can accumulate, more times you can see it, the 339 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 3: quicker you can be diagnosing it and get into an answer. 340 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you know, some of that, some 341 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: of that experience is helpful for sure. 342 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: And then finally they also drop eight, right, they don't 343 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: just blitz, they also drop eight for a quarterback when 344 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: you see eight guys back only rushing three? Is that 345 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: a deal where you have opportunities to run because there's 346 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna be some lanes only three guys rushing, you can 347 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: be more patient back there trying to find somebody. How 348 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: do you handle when teams drop eight only rush three? 349 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you still go through your read and 350 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 3: your progression. If you have something, you take it. But yeah, 351 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 3: there's there's an awareness for Hey, they're only rushing three 352 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: guys here, they got eight guys in coverage. 353 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: You know, there's a little more time and use your legs. 354 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: Run around. 355 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: If you can run for it, you know, go ahead 356 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 3: and run for it. If not, then you know, can 357 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: you move around, displace their zone and find find an 358 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: open guy? 359 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: All right, Dan, great stuff man, Really appreciate the time. 360 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: Good luck week one. 361 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Sean, appreciate it. 362 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 4: You're ready for a change.

Now, it's time to listen 375 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: in to Bob Poppa's conversation with the head coach of 376 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: the NYG, Brian Dabele. He started with coach by asking 377 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: him whether or not he still gets excited for Opening Day. 378 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 5: Absolutely, It's It's one of the the great times in 379 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 5: the NFL season is opening Day. There's a lot of unknowns. 380 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 5: You know, you're still figuring out your team and you know, 381 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: figuring out the other teams and things like that. So 382 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: I know the guys are excited to go out there 383 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 5: and play another against another opponent. 384 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: You know what it counts. 385 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 6: Do you have to for the young players, maybe the rookies, 386 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 6: just you know, talk to them and maybe you have 387 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 6: during the course of the week about hey, look it's 388 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 6: a sixty minute game, you know, let's let's just manage 389 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 6: this and let's not peak too early as far as 390 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 6: emotions are concerned. 391 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we'll talk about we'll talk to that 392 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 5: about our whole team. Again, it's an important game, so 393 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 5: it's the first game. It only counts for one. So 394 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 5: after after the first week, you're gonna have a bunch 395 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 5: of teams that you know, have a loss, and a 396 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 5: bunch of teams that have won. And it's a long season, 397 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 5: and you know, our focus has to be just one 398 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 5: play at a time and not get too high, not 399 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 5: get too low, and be in a moment. 400 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 6: Let's talk a little bit about the Minnesota Vikings. Obviously, 401 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 6: you know when you played them two years ago on 402 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 6: Christmas Eve and then you beat them in their place 403 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 6: in the playoffs, it was kind of back and forth, 404 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 6: a lot of up and down. But defensively, they've changed 405 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 6: completely since the last time you played them. Brian Flores 406 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 6: is now the defensive coordinator. What are some of the 407 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 6: challenges that his defense will pose for you today. 408 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 5: It gives you a lot of looks, so there's a 409 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 5: lot of communication that's involved, starting with the quarterback and 410 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 5: the center. They do a lot of disguising on the 411 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 5: back end, and they bring a lot of pressure. So 412 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 5: you combine the looks with the disguise and the pressure. 413 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 5: It's a challenging scheme. 414 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 6: Because your offensive line has a guy, a lot of 415 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 6: guys with experience that you've brought in. I'm assuming communication 416 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 6: is very important. I gotta feel that you know that's 417 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 6: a benefit for your group today, not only being at 418 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 6: home where you're not going to have to deal with 419 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 6: crowd noise when you're on offense, but the fact that 420 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 6: you have guys that have a lot of starts under 421 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 6: their belt playing in this game. 422 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good to have experience up front, no question 423 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: about it. But again, each each week is a new week, 424 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 5: each team is a new team. This is certainly a 425 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 5: challenging team relative to the scheme that they use, and 426 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 5: it's going to take you know, all five guys seeing 427 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 5: it as one on each and every play, because you 428 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 5: have one breakdown with one thing and that usually leads 429 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 5: to a negative play, which you know, for the most part, 430 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 5: you know, hurts scoring. 431 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 6: You brought in Devin Singletary. Obviously, this is a guy 432 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 6: that has a really nice resume, and I want you 433 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 6: to talk a little bit about his football IQ because 434 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 6: you know when you talk about that pressure and when 435 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 6: he's in the game, you know that the back is 436 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 6: responsible in passing situations. But you know some of the 437 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 6: intangibles that Devin brings to this football team. 438 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a good leader. He's been with me for 439 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 5: a while. He understands our system. He's a pro, goes 440 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 5: about his business a certain way, and I think people 441 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 5: around him on the football team, not just on the 442 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 5: offensive side, but on the defensive side, see that. So 443 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 5: he's a good example for the younger players. He sets 444 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 5: a standard and he meets it every day. So when 445 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 5: you have a veteran like that, and we brought in 446 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 5: a number of them, that certainly helps out the younger 447 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 5: players go. 448 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 6: To the other side of the ball. I mean, the 449 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 6: last time, It's funny how things change. The last time 450 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 6: you played them, they had Dalvin Cook who was having 451 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 6: a Pro Bowl season, Kirk Cousins, a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback. 452 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 6: Neither one of those guys is there. Now you're going 453 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 6: to face Sam Darnold and Aaron Jones comes over from 454 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 6: the Packers. But you know, offensively, what are some of 455 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 6: the things that they do well that you have to 456 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 6: be on your p's and q's. 457 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 5: Defensively, for yeah, I think they'll try to control the 458 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage or run the football user play action 459 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 5: passes off of it, and then you know, get the 460 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: ball to number eighteen. So you know, we have to 461 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 5: do a good job of set in the edge and 462 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 5: building wall, tackling well to run game, not giving up 463 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 5: explosives or limiting him the best you can. You know, 464 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 5: eighteen is gonna get his plays, but we're gonna have 465 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 5: to do a good job of knowing where he's at. 466 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 5: And then on the other side of it is Addison, 467 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: who's a young receiver but a very talented receiver who 468 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 5: runs good routes. He's an excellent compliment to JJ. 469 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 2: You know, it's a. 470 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 5: Tough perimeter unit that you're facing. So in the back end, 471 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: we're gonna have to do a good job of communicating. 472 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 5: We talk about the offensive line, but the back end 473 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 5: is gonna have to do a good job of communicating 474 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 5: and making sure we're on top of the things we 475 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 5: need to be on top of. 476 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 6: Coach just wrapping it up here. Today kicks off one 477 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 6: hundred seasons of Giants football. You'll be in the locker 478 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 6: room at halftime.
