1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000 Speaker 1: Hey, Alanta, how are you? I'm good? How are you 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: doing good? Good? Good? See? Thank you? Um? Were you? 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: Were you at all disappointed with with the Pro Bowl 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: voting and uh not not being honored. I don't really 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: want to say too much about it, but I just 6 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: feel like I had a pretty good season this year. Uh. 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: But I mean I think it is what it is, um. 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's all fan voting, popularity thing, and I'm 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm just excited for the guys who made it on 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: our team, you know, James and Evan. We have any 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: other questions and hey, Leonard, how are you? Mary good? 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: Thank you too? Hey. Um playing Baltimore this weekend, and 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: we know what kind of an athlete you know, uh, 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is. Um. Does it make it even more 15 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: difficult because they use him so much on runs up 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: the middle? I mean most quarterbacks do this own read 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: stuff to the outside. Just the variety of ways they 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: run with him, Does that make it even more complicated? Yeah? 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: I think it does make it a little more difficult. 20 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: But also if you just play discipline football, which is 21 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: what we're really focused on this week, is just playing 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: like old school disciplined football, like gap for a gap. Um, 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, if you're on the backside, down on the 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: backside type of thing, because um, you know what makes 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: it difficult is they'll give you the same block, but 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: run like three different directions out of out of that 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: because the way they run the option in the backfield. 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: So if I start to get nosy and I feel 29 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: like they're running it to my left like over and 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: over with the same blocking scheme, and all of a sudden, 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: I try to jump my guy and go to the 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: left gap and Lamar keeps it and he comes to 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: my right, then that's when we can get all out 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: of whack, you know. So I think that's when you 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: know it's just a really discipline type of football game. 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, hey along those same lines for uh, for 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: the mindset. I know your mindset doesn't necessarily change every week, 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: but knowing that you know one mistake and this is 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: a quarterback who can you know, make you miss and 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: make him miss badly, does and make you approached the 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: game any differently in terms of assignments, responsibilities, but also 42 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: just the idea of look, you're you're an instinctive football 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: player too, I mean, yeah, right, does he make you 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: fight your instincts, I guess a little bit. Uh sometimes 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: I think it's just knowing your opponent. I mean, you're 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: obviously gonna have your own football instincts and you know, 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: be be a football player and try to make plays. 48 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: But you know, all within the framework of the defense 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: and what we're being taught through that week. You know, like, uh, 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: we just have to trust the rush plan, trust the 51 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: run the run plan, and uh you know how we're 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: gonna get after him, and uh, you know, just trusting 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: the game plan and trusting each other up front is 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: going to be able to uh, you know, contain him 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: and get after him a little bit. And uh what 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: you mean about the trust in your athletic ability. Sometimes 57 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, if I'm going against a different guy who 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: can't make a play on his feet, you know, I'm 59 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: more willing to try a bunch of different stuff with 60 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: With this guy, I have to really focus on, you know, 61 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: staying in my right on my right keys, and you know, 62 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: playing a little bit differently. Thank you zero a letter, 63 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Happy holidays early. Um A two questions. One you know 64 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: with Baltimore is they're traditionally a pretty physical team. Uh 65 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: do you like that kind of game? And do you 66 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: feel like you guys have to have physical them on Sunday? Yeah, 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: I do like those type of game, especially around this 68 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: time of year, it gets even more physical. Um. You know, 69 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: just last week was pretty much the same. We knew 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: that they were gonna try to run the ball, and 71 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: we knew that it was gonna be a physical game, 72 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we're basically, you know, treating it 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: like we have to. You know, this is a big game, 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: big physical game, and you know, everyone just has to 75 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: be ready for that. Just as as a follow up, 76 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, you guys were very much in the 77 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: driver's seat for the division, which had everybody pretty fired up, 78 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: and now you're facing potentially elimination this weekend. You know 79 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: how disappointing would that be if you cannot stay alive 80 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: this weekend given where you were two weeks ago. I mean, 81 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: it'll be a little disappointing. Um, you know, not looking 82 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: in the past or looking in the future or anything 83 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: like that, but you know, obviously we want to have 84 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: a winning season and uh, you know, not to think 85 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: about playoffs or anything like that, but we're basically treating 86 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: it like the playoffs right now. You know, we know 87 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: that what's at stake, and we know that we have to, 88 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: you know, win these last two games basically to go 89 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So starting now is basically, you know, 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: our playoffs, and uh, you know that's kind of how 91 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: we're treating this game. I don't, I don't. I don't 92 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: know when we're gonna talk to you next. But you 93 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: know what, what have you thought about? Uh, your time 94 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: here with New York is this is the place you 95 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: want to stay and have there. But any conversations about 96 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: keeping you here past this season? I mean so far 97 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: there hasn't been any conversation that I know of, But 98 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I just try to in troll 99 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: what I can control. I've been enjoying my time here 100 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: so far. You know, I love the guys on this team. 101 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: I love playing with these guys. You know, I build 102 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: a relationship with a lot of the players on the team. Um, 103 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: you know, I love the direction of where it's going 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: with this new coaching staff, and uh, you know, you know, 105 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm I've been proud to be a Giant for as 106 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, however long it has been. If it ends 107 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: this year, then it ends this year. But you know, 108 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: either way, I've been, you know, happy to wear these 109 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: colors and and play this season, and yeah, it's been 110 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: fun being a part of this defense in this team. 111 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: What would be your touch to say? I guess they 112 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: could take you again if they if they wanted to write? 113 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: What's that? If they take? Can they take? They could 114 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: take you again if they if they wanted to? I guess, 115 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think so? So what what would be 116 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: your so much if that happened again? I mean, I'm 117 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: not sure. I think I'm just have to focus on 118 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: that when it comes around. You know, I still have 119 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: two more games to play and then a while with 120 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: the off season until anything like that plays out. So 121 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm really haven't been thinking about any 122 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: contract stuff, to be honest, thank you last one hears 123 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: that and leonard Um I was wondering, you know, this 124 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: is the first full season you, Dalvin and Dextra played 125 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: together since you came halfway through last year. How do 126 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: you feel like you guys have grown together? How do 127 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: you feel like as a group you've played especially recently 128 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and kind of how how how's that bond growing between 129 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: the three of you?

I mean, we're all pretty 131 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: much on the younger side. You know, Dex is the 132 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: youngest one in the group. Um, but I feel like 133 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: we've we've definitely built a bond together. We have a 134 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: pretty stout d line up front, and uh, you know, 135 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: we all have different attributes, which we know now knowing 136 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: each other, we could like play off of each other's 137 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: attributes and uh, I think it's it's a great thing 138 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: when you can build some type of chemistry like that 139 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: with the guys up front or in any group, honestly, 140 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: but it's been it's been fun playing with them.
