1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm just gonna start by, uh clearing it up.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: I want to apologize it to I didn't mean any disrespect.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean a lighthearted, lighthearted comment about me playing quarterback.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: I think he's a good player, he's humble, he approaches

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: the game the right way, and he made game win.

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: It plays to beat us and they won the game.

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not no sore loser. I just don't want to.

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: I don't hate on players in the league. I have

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for players in this league. I've

10
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: been in this league, and uh, he's doing it the

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: right way, So I wish him the best. I want

12
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: him to know there's no disrespect there, any bad beef.

13
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: They're just a comment that, uh, you know, went the

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: wrong way and I was trying to be funny and

15
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't funny. I don't want to disrespect him. I

16
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Congrats on the nomination. What's that mean to you? Yeah,

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean the nomination is awesome. Man. Um. You know,

18
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: I've been doing work for a lot of years and uh,

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: and I didn't I wasn't doing it for the nomination.

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: I just kind of was working in my own circles

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: with people and trying to make a difference and trying

22
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: to make the world a better place. And to be noted,

23
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: noticed for and recognized for that, not trying to get it.

24
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: I think it's the coolest feeling. So I'm proud. I'm

25
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: honored to be the nominee for the giants. I really

26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: want to win it, and I really want to win

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: it for, you know, the animal people out there. I

28
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: mentioned there's a lot of people that do shelter work, volunteer,

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: dedicate their life to that don't make a lot of money. Uh,

30
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: pet owners. There's a lot of good people out there

31
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: that love animals. And I'm not I'm not sure, but

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I think I'll be the first person with the with

33
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: the animal causes his man calls to win that award.

34
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I do work with kids and police reform

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: as well, but you know, to highlight the animal people.

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: I really really want to win it for them and

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: and uh support them and give them notice. How is this?

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: How's this trip and going? It's been going. It's been

39
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: going well, man. I think, Uh it was good. Uh

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: get away. We set our minds a little bit. I

41
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: think we had a really spirited practice today. Two hours

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: in the pads getting after it. Um, having some some

43
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: of their team out here watching us, you know, play

44
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: at the highest level, and having some kids warm up

45
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: with us. It's really cool. Giants fans all over the place.

46
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: We've got a great fan base. But it's been a

47
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: really good week kind of train and camp mentality of

48
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: just hanging out in the hotel room, watching film, going

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: to the basketball game together, going to dinners together. Um.

50
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: So it's been really good just to get around the

51
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: guys and and support our guys. How was how was

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: Daniel of throwing interceptions? Uh? Not too good. They're hard

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: to get off him. Um No, that's dj man. DD

54
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: is ultimate teammate, the ultimate competitor, doing what he can do.

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: And if that's what he can do. Right now he

56
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: does a great deep ball and we're gonna have to

57
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: go track it justin. Herbert has one of the strongest

58
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 1: arms I've seen on tape. I mean, his arm talent ridiculous.

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: He makes field outs, field corner routes. He rolls to

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: the right, those the ball all the way across the field,

61
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: and not too many quarterbacks in the league do that.

62
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: And we don't see that weekend and week out. So

63
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: we definitely need to get the work. And Daniel did

64
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: a good job of giving us that Daniel has that

65
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: type of arm. So we did a good job of,

66
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, getting getting a look. But I think Daniel

67
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: service and his teammates, I think great teammates. The way

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to you know, describe Daniel Jones hard to kind of

69
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: reconcile that he's able to basically physically do everything, but

70
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: he's still not clear to I mean a lot of

71
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: people can do a lot of things. But the doctor said,

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: you can take a hit. I mean, that's what the

73
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: doctor said. You gotta protect. I mean, you gotta do

74
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: what's best for him. And I mean I'm not a

75
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: doctor or anything, but I'm sure when he's clear for contact,

76
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: he'll be clear to go. But if there's harm there.

77
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: You're talking about the neck, a brain, those type of injuries,

78
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: those aren't things to play with. What do you think

79
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: when you hear that? You know you're playing this team,

80
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: You know what kind of passing attack there are? And

81
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen might not play Mike Williams, who knows how

82
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: that goes do? What goes through your head? How do

83
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: you approach that? I mean, we have to prepare for

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Keenawen to play. I mean, I know Keenan I've been

85
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: playing against for years. My second year in the league

86
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: as a Patriots, we put the Royal reeves on Keenan

87
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Allen and that was eight years ago, and he's still

88
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: been He's been that guy for that many years. I

89
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: think he's one of the best seaver in the league.

90
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: It drastically changes whether he plays or not. We're definitely

91
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna um we have packages to prepare for Keenan Allen,

92
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and we'll prepare for that. And if he's not there,

93
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: that's good news and we'll do the best we can.

94
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: But they have other guys, I mean, close contacts. We

95
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: gotta assume Mike Williams is gonna play, Chris Harris is

96
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: gonna play for Keenan. You know, I've had COVID. I

97
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: wish to wish him the best. It's nothing to joke

98
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: about or play about. So I just wish him the

99
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: best in his recovery and whether he plays or not,

100
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: that's just the protocols and how he's feeling. But to

101
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: say that doesn't impact things would be an understanding. He's

102
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: a he's a very impactful receiver and he's the most

103
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: target to receive on third down in NFL for a reason.

104
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: What were you told about that? What were you told

105
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: about the chances of testing out? I mean it's I

106
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: saw t J. Watt did it this week, but it

107
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: seems like it's so rare. And what were you kind

108
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: of told on that, Like Joe kept saying, oh, you know,

109
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe you get tested out. It's uh, you know, I

110
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: think it's everything we're all learning about. It's it's something

111
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: that we're all learned about. Nothing I could prepare for

112
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: in my career. Um, if you have COVID, I think

113
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: it's it's not too likely, but you have a viral load.

114
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: When you test, they show your viral load, and the

115
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: lower the number is, the more you have it. So

116
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: it's actually backwards. The higher that number is, a closer

117
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: you get to testing out. So I felt like the

118
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: last couple of day as I was, I was close

119
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: to testing out, and I did get two negative tests,

120
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: uh in time for the game. But you know they're

121
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: they're worried about and there's a whole another thing of

122
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: whether you're asymptomatic or symptomatic. So because I had symptoms,

123
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I had then had to do a three day ramp up,

124
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: which I didn't know about. It's only reported that you

125
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: have to two negative tests you're back to playing. So

126
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: I had two negative tests. I was ready to get

127
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: back to play, and then we ran into a hole.

128
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Was he asymptomatic? Was he symptomatic? So I don't know

129
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: what what these guys are symptomatic asymptomatic viral loads. That

130
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: was all news to me. Yeah, so I feel like

131
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to I feel like it's hard to test out,

132
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: honestly in ten day, especially if you if you do

133
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: a ramp up, like when you talked about kind of

134
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: a training camp, vibe a little bit, basketball games dinners.

135
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: He said, you had a good two hour practice. I mean, um,

136
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: this is unusual. You know where there is late in

137
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: the season. I mean you kind of interested or concerned

138
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: about that quick pivot out of this beautiful thing, and

139
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: then you know you gotta play a really hot team,

140
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: you know in l about No, I think this give

141
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: us the best uh chance of preparation and bat l a.

142
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: You mean we get out we're not practicing the snow,

143
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, in thirty three degrees and then going to

144
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: so far it's it's a warmer place. I played there

145
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: last year. It's like a it's a greenhouse. It's really

146
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: hot on that field, believe it or not in there,

147
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: And um so, I think this give us the best

148
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: for good weather and just the time to really um

149
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: adjusted things we need adjust and make it prevents. You

150
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: need to prove to win the games down to stretch,

151
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: and I'm familiar with it. The Patriots have done this

152
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: for years. I've done it all four years and the

153
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Patriots have taken a trip out west. If you have

154
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: those type of games and the schedule allows, so it

155
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: just gives you the best preparation in the weather that

156
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: we can potentially play in. These last two games are

157
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: the best signs of progress in your team an organization,

158
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: Like if the winds aren't coming regularly, But what are

159
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: you seeing as a team leader that things are going

160
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: in the right direction and you guys are making progress

161
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: and making strides like as a defense as a team, Yeah,

162
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's all it's all a judge on

163
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. But the end of the day, people's attitudes

164
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: and mindsets and uh at practice every day you look

165
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: guys and eyes every day. As a leader, is my

166
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: job to inspire and rally guys and encourage guys do

167
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: it the right way, and tell them some stories of

168
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: what I've learned, what helped for me, and leaders I

169
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: learned from for the past. But we talked about this league.

170
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: It's a players league, and locker rooms dictate a lot

171
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: of things in this league, and we just don't have

172
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: a locker rooms. Given up, we don't have a locker rooms. Splintered.

173
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: We don't have a locker room. Is saying, man, what's

174
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: the point. We got a locker room that's fighting and

175
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: scratching and clawing. And obviously you want the results on Sundays,

176
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: and that's what we're judged on in this league. So

177
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: you want your your progress is based on the results, honestly,

178
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: but there's also a process to get those results, and

179
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: you can't win a game. If you don't go through

180
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the process the right way, you have no chance of

181
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: being a team. It's a chapter of championship team, a

182
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: playoff team. If you don't go through a certain way,

183
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: you practice a certain way, you carry yourself a certain way,

184
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you have accountability and I just don't fake. Those are

185
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: the issues that we have on the team right now.

186
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: So I think it's execution, and you gotta work on

187
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: execution and practice
