1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Sake one. In terms of urgency, where would you put

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: this game on on your radar scale? UM, I wouldn't

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: really view it as that. UM. It's another game with

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: the schedule, UH, first game at home. UM. So it'd

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: be great to get a win just for the team

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: and for the fans. But you know, at the start

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: of season to take a one game of time and UM,

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: just trying to find a way to win this week

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: in that long run. UH. I mean it's NFL, UM,

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: people are gonna make great plays, take great angles. UM.

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: And he was moving. Uh. I think it's like I

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: was running like one eight. But UM, respect to him,

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: he made a great play. But at the end of

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: the day, we were able to score on that drive. UM.

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: And that's when it really matters. UM. But those opportunities come,

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to put an endzone or

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: continue even if you don't score in that play, find

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: a way to put an end zone, which we did

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: on that drive. And we gonna find a way to

20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: do that more. UM. In this game one, you had

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: fifteen touches in game one. Do you think you need

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: more touches to be to give this team every chance

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: to win? Um? I think you know, I'm will to

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: do whatever takes to help between win and um, you know,

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: if we played better uh than what we did last

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: game and we execute when we need to execute, um,

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the conversation will be fifteen touches. I

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: think we find a way to win that game. Um.

29
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, that was made

30
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: more play than us and we just gotta find a

31
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: way to do that better than this game. How exciting

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: is it to be here for the home opener? Awesome? Yeah,

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: it's always great to get back and play in front

34
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: of fans. Giants fans are amazing fans. How many time

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: you get back and playing in front of New York

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: especially for my family coming close being at home so

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: they can come out to see the game, and I

38
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: have a lot more people there. Um. So now my

39
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: daughter is a little older, so she actually consinerally understand

40
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: the game, but um definitely more uh you know, interactive

41
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: with it. So it's gonna be fun. She'll be at

42
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: the game of course. Speaking how different is running out

43
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: of our two tight ends set versus like the three

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: wide receivers that I know each play is a little different.

45
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: There's a change I think from back, I don't change

46
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: anything from running back standpoint. UM, your reads is still

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: the same. UM, you still got hit the same way

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: and trying to find the right the right fit. I

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: guess it adds. UM actually defended on the box technically,

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I guess speaking because you have to take comfort out

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: on own defense. UM. Then when the guys wider out

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: there a little wider outside the box. But for me,

53
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: doesn't really really change anything. It's got to read the

54
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: same way, whether whether the run scheme is inside zone,

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: read out the right way. If it's a power run,

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: read out the right way, seek one. Regardless of the

57
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: number of carriers you had against Dallas, the holes were

58
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: there having courage in us that UM, you know, it's

59
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: it's it's very encouraging. And you know I knew that

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. UM. You know, we had a great offseason,

61
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: great camp. Uh you know, the office line, the plane tremendously,

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: UM at a great level. UM. Coach has been calling

63
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: great especially with the run game. So UM, you know,

64
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: I believe that we're gonna have UM which tremendous impact

65
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: in the running game this season. UM may not be

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: like that every game, but you know, when it's like that,

67
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: we gotta take advantage of advantage of it. And I

68
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: think not only myself, but Wayne and Perk are all

69
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: capable of, you know, making those plays when we need it.

70
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited for for the future of this season,

71
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: especially coming up for the next game. After the undefeated preseason,

72
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: were you at all surprised by the fact that Dallas

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: kind in the big league? You never got close? Um? Now,

74
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, the preseason is the preseason. Um.

75
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: It's great to go underfeed in the preseason. Um, but

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: you know that's what the nine man boss is pretty

77
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: much a whole new roster. You get to get down

78
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: fifty three and forty six on your suit up. Uh.

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: So we're not surprised that Dallas came into openly, yes,

80
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: because we were playing at a high level, not only

81
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: the preseason but in camp. Um, and you know, we

82
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: were just making too many mental mistakes. And like I said,

83
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from Dallas, and they played

84
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: a heck of a game or a heck of a team.

85
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: But um, at the end of the day, when you

86
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: go back and you watch film alive, it came down

87
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: to us, Um, what did we do wrong. You know,

88
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: we can find a way to make those plays and

89
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: UM as acute differently, I think outcome could be a

90
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: lot closer or a different game for us. How do

91
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: you physically? My body feel pretty good? UM? You know

92
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: my answer is always gonna be like that, no matter what.

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: If it's fifteen touches for its I just I'm gonna

94
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: do the right things to try to get my body right.

95
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Get up ready, um, and the most important things. Feel

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: the best you can on Sunday. UM, so excited for that.

97
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: You always you always talk about your your leadership and

98
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: your growing role as a leader. What's your message to

99
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: this team this week off of last week? UM, don't panic.

100
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's not really have to give

101
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: that message to the team. I don't feel like that

102
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: in a locker room. I feel like it's more like

103
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: everyone outside of our locker room that's panicking. When you

104
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: break it down, Uh, there's what thirty two teams the NFL.

105
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Half of those teams lost last week. Besides two of

106
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: them they tied. Um, but half of those teams love. So.

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean any team in in the NFL, just because

108
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: you're one big, don't mean you're gonna go six h

109
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Because you lost bad don't mean you're gonna go in

110
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: six teams. Don't panic, Just find a way to get

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: better every single week, get one percent better every single day,

112
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and when the game's come to try to execute at

113
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: a high level.
