1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Now your new Piers was gonna run the ball a 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: whole bunch today, so there was no secret about that, 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: and and he was dangerous, but for the most part, 4 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: you guys continued him. Yeah. I think for the most 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: part we contained them. I think there was like one 6 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: big run that he had. Besides that, I think we 7 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: did a really good job of containing them. And then uh, 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, in the red zone, were able to get 9 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: it off of him, get the ball back to the offense, 10 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: stops him from scoring points. And I think all day 11 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: we just did a good job of you know, playing 12 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: red zone defense and like not letting him in the 13 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: end zone even after they had some pretty good drives. Yeah, 14 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: second half, again, this team seems to really turn up 15 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: the switch and everything seems to click a whole lot better. 16 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: Do you have any idea why. I mean, it's kind 17 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: of funny, but like we live off of the model 18 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: like taking to the deep end because it's like we 19 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: know that third fourth quarter is like when people get 20 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: tired of when people it's tough, and it's like the 21 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: time when you really got to close the game. And uh, 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just another mentality, like second win type 23 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: of mentality just kicks in for the team, and we 24 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: just all feed off of each other and just played 25 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: with great energy. You know, at seven and two, this 26 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: is only the third time since two thousand the Giants 27 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: have had this goo to record after nine games. How 28 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: does it feel? It's a long time. It feels amazing, though. 29 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like I always say, it's um after a 30 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: win or a loss, it's kind of hard to bask 31 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: in it because it's like after we watched film Monday, 32 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: we're already onto the next team, you know. But at 33 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: the same time, when I do have time to sit 34 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: and look at the record, I'm very happy with where 35 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: we are, and uh, I'm still not satisfied because I 36 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: know where where we want to go and how far 37 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: away that still is, you know what I mean? Than was? 38 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean dex Is, you know he played out standing today? Um, 39 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Cabon, we're laughing and joking 40 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: about how there'll be times where we see the quarterback 41 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: getting rid of the ball and I might turn into run, 42 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: and like almost every time I right before I turn 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: and run, I see decks like hitting the quarterback or 44 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: like in his face or something, and it's just like 45 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, he's really come along and he's playing 46 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: outstanding right now. Need um. He seems like a heart 47 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: and soul obviously kind of guy in from room yere. 48 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: Could you describe, you know, let me how see personality. 49 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: Wanted to make lay earlier in the year talking about 50 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: the players ever coached, which is pretty o. Friends, What 51 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: does he need? You know, A big picture here for 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: you guys. I mean, I think you know, he's a 53 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: captain of the team for a reason. He definitely brings 54 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: energy and brings that type of persona to the defense 55 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: that we need. A guy's feed off of him. Guys 56 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: respect them. Uh. He does a good job leading and 57 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: talking when he needs to and you know, even more 58 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: than that his play making abilities. Do you approve of 59 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: the dance coming out of the tunnel? Of course? I 60 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: think people love that dance and I want to see 61 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: it as much as possible, So any chance he gets, 62 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta see it. How much fun are 63 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: you guys having out there? We're having a lot of fun. 64 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, especially when we're winning, um, you know, especially 65 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: when we're making plays on defense and um, you know, 66 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: especially when you know me and dex Interior are making 67 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: plays together we feed off each other. I've been playing 68 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: with him for a long time now. He's like a 69 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: brother to me. And you know, it was his birthday, 70 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: so it was awesome to see him have like such 71 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: a big day to day for his birthday. The blitz 72 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: could give them a lot of trouble offense. We're a 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: lot today. Yeah. I mean, I think Wink, uh you know, 74 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: identifies as a blitzing type of coordinator, and uh, you know, 75 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: I think he never shies away from it when he's 76 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: given the opportunity. And uh, you know, I think we 77 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: just wanted to get a lot of pressure on this 78 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: quarterback in a passing situations because we knew thirty one 79 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: was gonna run the ball, So when they weren't in 80 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the running situation, we're gonna try to put pressure on 81 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Text gets enough credit for this season he's having. I'm 82 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: not sure because I don't pay attention to the media 83 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: that much, but I'm pretty sure he's been on notice 84 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: this year. If if no one has noticed him yet, 85 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: then they must not be watching football, you know, stored 86 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: history about it's defenses. Do you think you guys are 87 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: building your own legacy the way you played this year? Oh?

You know. It's like I want to 95 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: be a part of a team that creates our own legacy. 96 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: You know.

I can't speak for 113 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: the past. I'm speaking for what we've done up to 114 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: this point. I think we have been setting the foundation 115 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: for a good team. And you know, we we have 116 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: everything ahead of us right now to be a legacy team. 117 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it just takes one, one game 118 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: at a time. You know, we can't look too far 119 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: in the future and overlook a team because it's you know, 120 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: we really believe that any given Sunday, if you don't 121 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: play your best, any team can win, you know, And 122 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: it's proven the weekend and week out.
