1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: You started your career at a place where they had

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: a pretty legendary home field advantage. How can the Giants

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: you know, bring that kind of uh advantage to your

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: to to New Jersey? Yeah, I think uh, no matter

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: where you're at obviously, UM, Green Bay was an awesome franchise,

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: but this place is just as this historic. Um. And

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but positive things about the fans, and

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to get out there today. UM, see

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: those guys, see everybody out there wearing their jerseys, screaming, yelling, UM,

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be It's gonna be special. Was there a

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: sense at Lambeau that you know there was you know

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: that that it was an advantage? Um. I think every

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: single person or every single team has a kind of

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: home field advantage to it. UM. I think it all

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: depends on the kind of ebbs and flows of a game. Uh.

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: You're out there dominating, scoring a lot of points, holding

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: holding teams a very few points. The fans are gonna

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: back you and gonna kind of, um make make that

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: home field advantage that much more. M respect Blake. If

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: you look at the defense thus far that you've seen

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: from this squad this year, versus last year. Do you

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: see any different characteristics, qualities, difference in speed, physicality. I

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: just was curious what you thought of this group. No, Yeah,

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: obviously last year was last year. This is a new year, UM,

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: new group, new guys, UM kind of new chemistry and

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: things like that. Overall, I can kind of just speak

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: for this training camp, what I've been a part of

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: throughout these practices and things like that that this group

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: is UM has a lot of potential, but it's all

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: about us putting it, putting that work in every single day,

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: working together, becoming a full unit, all working um in unison, Uh,

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: making all the checks, everything be in the right position,

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: making place all shorts like um when when you look

34
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: at this team, mom, you know, nothing is set in

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: stone anywhere really, but there's a lot of places where

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: in positions you kind of can figure out what's going on.

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Probably not so with linebackers and inside linebackers other than you, um. Um.

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Is it either disconcerting or do you see it as

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: a big competition as far as who's gonna be lining

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: up next to you snap the snap once the season starts. No,

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a composition every day. It's something I can't.

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I can't go out there and be like, oh, I'm

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm starting. It's it's something you want to work at

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: every single day to get better. You have to keep improving.

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Coach Judge talks about all the time. We don't have starters.

46
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: You have to earn it um and that's the thing.

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: No matter what, I go out there every day and

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: saying Hey, I'm gonna be the guy out there, it's

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: not Hey, I'm already the guy. And so I think

50
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: throughout the group, I think we all have that kind

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: of same thought process and put in the work every

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: single day and making each other better iron sharp sharp

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: as iron type of thing. What about the guy who

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: who if you do start um, if you you know,

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: if some crazy thing happens in the world and you

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: actually start um, the guy next to you inside I mean,

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there's a bunch of guys you're

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: sorting through, older guys, younger guys. What's your sense on

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: that competition and how strong that position next to you

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: can be? No, I think it's extremely strong. I think

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: we have a lot of guys across the board. Um Davante,

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Reggie te Um list goes on and it's just those

63
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: types of guys coming into work every single day, understanding situations,

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: understanding their job responsibilities, their athletic skill set, all those

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: types of things. It's gonna make it for an awesome

66
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: training camp. And like I said, iron Sharpen's iron, I

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: think each and every one of us whoever ends up

68
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: out there for week one is gonna be ready to go.

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Blake coach said the other day that when

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: se Juan started to practice in some of the drills,

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: he sort of assigned you to see to sort of

72
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: shadow him. It's really two part question. What's involved in

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: that for you? And do you kind of take that

74
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: as a sign of respect that he would give you

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: that responsibility. No, for sure. I think last year, every

76
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: single time we did things, it was always me and

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: sa Kwan Um. Every single time he came up for

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: a certain competition drill and things like that, I made

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: sure I was right there. Um And kind of goes

80
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: back to saying it again the iron sharp AND's iron

81
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: type of thing. But also with se Kwan coming back

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: um with his injury and things like that, I think

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: the coach like trust me and knows that we're going

84
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: to get the work in needed but not. No kind

85
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: of funny business or out of control is going to

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: happen uh during those drills.
