1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: You know, I think our guys are excited about this challenge. UM, 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's really dynamic. UM. You know, have spent 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: ten games playing against Russell Wilson in Seattle, and so 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: have seen some guys like this that can buy time 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: with their feet, who are accurate and can deliver the 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: ball on time and on schedule, then create some off 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: schedule plays, UM where they they've created a really good 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: amount of explosives in the past game off of that. 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: And also the read option where you know, there's design 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: quarterback runs where he is running, and there's other plays 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: where he's reading, UM, the scheme of the defense and 12 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: tucking the ball and carrying or giving it. And UM, 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great challenge for our guys. And 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, you look, there's a as a receiver is 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: gonna wear a gold jacket someday and Larry and UM, 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, I got a ton of respect for him. 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: It's spent obviously five years in Arizona. UM. So they 18 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: have pieces in David, and they have some dynamic players, 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: some young receivers and you know, if Christian Kirk comes back, 20 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: a really young dynamic receiver himself. So it's gonna be 21 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: a great challenge, and I think we've had two really 22 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: good days of practice. I think the thing for our 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: guys is we're continuing to focus on ourselves, continuing to 24 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: focus on building consistency through very intentional work. So um, 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: it's it's like coach talk. If you go in the 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: room and say, hey, we need to be more consistent, 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: we need to play um at the level we're capable 28 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: of all the time, that's to me, that's that's somewhat 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: coach talk. I think the way we focused on trying 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: to get that done is continue to identify things, specific 31 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: things that we need to get better at and address 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: those in practice, address those and walk through address those 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: in the meeting room. Then when we come and watch 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: the tape, we we evaluate and we work that process 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: over again. That's how you build consistency. That's to having 36 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: a consistent approach um to the game and in the 37 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: in the way we're coaching and the way we're trying 38 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: to play the game. So um, it'll be a great challenge. 39 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Our guys are excited, have have had two really good 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: days of work. Again, love that about this group that 41 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: these guys come to work, they work hard at practice, 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: they fly around, they're diving for balls. UM. A fun 43 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: group to coach, and we've got to continue with our process. 44 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: Like about your guys effort and performance against New England, UM, 45 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, through adversity it doesn't 46 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: build character, it reveals it. And I think, UM, we've 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: had some ups and downs on defense and we've found 48 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: a way to continue to play hard through all of 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: those moments. And I think that showed itself last Thursday. 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: I think it was exciting to see our guys continue 51 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: no matter what the situation is, UM, whether it's a 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: situation we put ourselves in or wherever the balls spotted, 53 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: the guys continue to continue to run two things. And 54 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I think that just reveals the character of the group 55 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: that we're working with. And I think that's that's as 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: as I kind of just said, that's one of the 57 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: reasons I love working with this group because they come 58 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: to work and they love the game. Able to practice. 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: What do you need to or hope to see from 60 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: him over the next twenty days or something? You know, 61 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: I think number one is getting in practice and getting reps, 62 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: whether that's on the look team, whether that's an individual 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: starting to backpedal. I think it's all the skills that 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: a dB needs to work on. UM. You know, he's 65 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: had a great deal of misspractice time, and you know 66 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: we all know that, and so it's it's day one. 67 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: It's working fundamentals and techniques, then going in and and 68 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: taking the time to watch individual with the position coaches, 69 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: which is what we do with him, and just make 70 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: sure he's getting coach and all the fundamentals and techniques 71 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: through these next twenty days. The way he's not missing 72 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: opportunities to get better, UM when he's not preparing for 73 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: a particular opponent during these during these practice sessions, where 74 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: do you see the biggest impigment? You know, we're not 75 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: what sixt six games into the season, where do you 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: where do you you jump? I think, uh one is 77 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: just being on the same page and not allowing explosive 78 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: plays UM to show up in games where if we 79 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: came to the sideline and we said, hey, how how 80 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: you know what was the problem there? They can they 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: can tell us, you know, and they can tell each 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: other and they can say I needed to be I 83 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: need to have my eyes, I needed to you know, 84 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: we gotta get that out of our game. And um, 85 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: they've shown up as a particular times in games where um, 86 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: we just gotta get them out and I think that's 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: where we'll make a big stride for ourselves. Then, Um, 88 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's just the game sometimes comes down comes 89 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: down to winning one on one matchups, and we got 90 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: to do a better job of winning one on one 91 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: matchups that might be in coverage and we got a 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: opportunity knock the ball away, We got knock the ball away. Um, 93 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: we got a chance up front to win a one 94 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: on one, whether it's a four man, three man, five 95 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: men rush, we gotta win a one on one. And um, 96 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: you know that's that's kind of part of the conversation 97 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: had earlier. It was just be intentional with our work 98 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: and knowing exactly what those specific things are because that's 99 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: our job as coaches to identify those specific things and 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: our it's our player's job then to take the things 101 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: that we identify and to go work to get better 102 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: at him. How close is Marcus Golden to being the 103 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: player that he was for you to that the sixteen Yeah, 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: I think he's really close to being the same guy. 105 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: I think every day the guys out here working to 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: try to get better, and um, he's felt better and 107 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: better with his health. I think that's was obviously the 108 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: first thing. Then just you know, Marks and I talked 109 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and the goal wasn't 110 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: to get back to that guy, was to be better 111 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: than that guy. And UM, you know, I think if 112 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: if you get as most people here have, you've got 113 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: to know Marcus. You've got to see how he works, 114 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: you got to see how he plays the game. I 115 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: think if there's anybody that's gonna come off an injury 116 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: like he had and be able to become a better player, 117 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: it's this guy. You know, he loves the game. He 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: works tirelessly. Um, A lot of the plays that he 119 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: makes or just second effort plays are just beyond you know, 120 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: skills talent. It's just mindset and purpose. And um, that's 121 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I've always loved him. I remember, 122 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: I remember, and I gotta tell the story. I remember 123 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: that one of the first plays, it's his first game 124 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: as a rookie. We're playing the Saints at our place. 125 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: They're on like the fifteen yard line. They were on 126 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: a screen in the boundary. He's the line to the field. 127 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: They were on a screen to the back in the boundary, 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: he's to the field and again they're on the fifteen. 129 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: He makes a tackle to seven. So you know, I 130 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: see that play and you see him work in practice, 131 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: and that's just that's his identity, that's who he is, 132 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: this same actually to face. No, no, you know, it's 133 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: not about that at all. Got a ton of respect 134 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: for Mr Bidwell, Michael Bidwell, Steve Come. There's a lot 135 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: of people in that building that are just great people. 136 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: Um My wife and I had a great five years 137 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: in Arizona, and it's a great place to raise a family. 138 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: But you know, we're lucky and fortunate to be New 139 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: York Football giants. So we're excited to be here. And 140 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: other than that, you know, we're just getting ready to 141 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: play game. When you did they do that some of 142 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: the same stuff that you did with them, or they 143 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: as Vance changed the whole thing. You know what, I 144 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: haven't sit down and I haven't had time to take 145 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: a look at a snap of what they're doing on defense. 146 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: So you know, I honestly couldn't tell you. I know 147 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: a little bit about Vance's background. It's a little a 148 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: little different probably style three or four than UM, kind 149 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: of the tree that you know that I believe in 150 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: or come from whatever. But UM, so to be honest, 151 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: I haven't haven't really watched anything when the defense. When 152 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: a defense faces a scheme that's so different from what 153 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: everyone else is running, is that especially difficult to kind 154 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: of adjust completely to something unfamiliar. Now, I I think 155 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: that's a really valid point from the standpoint that when 156 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: things are really different. UM, from a look standpoint, obviously 157 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: we all know they're gonna go for wides and spread 158 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: the field out, or they're gonna put it tight end. 159 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna spread it out with a tight end. In 160 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the game, they're gonna be an empty um spread formations though, 161 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: thing those things are different. But UM, at the end 162 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: of the day, UM, kind of the point at the beginning, 163 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: in the point that we made to the guys in 164 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: the room is it comes down to us and us 165 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: doing our jobs, aligning with good leverage, playing with good eyes. 166 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: You do that, then that helps eliminate some of the 167 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: if if you want to call it, some of the 168 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: difference in the scheme. We don't need to use the 169 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: sub package with Jabril at linebacker. UM, what do you 170 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: like out of that backage. What does it do for 171 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: your defense to have him and then bring in it 172 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: has been Mike Thomas and with the one the sets 173 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: that I've seen, Um, you know, first, I love what 174 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: David Mayo has done. I really do. He's come, He's 175 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: worked his tail off. David's another guy that loves the game. 176 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: This guy really loves the game. He's tough and he's physical. 177 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: So it's um not um any shade on anybody that's 178 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: on our roster anywhere. What it allows us to do 179 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: is put another dB on the field, you know. And 180 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: I think, um just going back to kind of what 181 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: I believe is is more spread, they get more space, 182 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: the game becomes. The more second level players, you want 183 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: to try to find a way to get on the field. Um. 184 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: And I think Jabril, we know he can. He can 185 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: do about anything. You know, he really can, And it's 186 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: just us doing a good job of managing the situations 187 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: and the things that we put him in so he 188 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: can play fast and we don't slow him down.
