1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: John, Can you talk about the chemistry development with you're made? Yeah,

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: whole line. I mean that's what training camps for right here.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: Long days, probably about twelve thirteen, fourteen hour days, and

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: you know, you got to make light of stuff going

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: on and be able to find out who everybody is,

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: what they're about, and I mean there's nothing else to

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: do besides you know, work together, talk together, hang out,

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: and chemistry is really coming along.

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: It's a really light group.

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: But also when it's time to work, it's time to

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: work and put our head down and we get to it.

12
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: And it's been a.

13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Great first week practice and being here around the building,

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: see everybody around and excited for you know what we

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: got going ahead, and so got over a month left

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: before the regular season starts, but enjoying this process right

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: now in training camp of everybody working to get better.

18
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure you weren't expecting to be one of the

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: stars of Hard Knocks, but you ended up your agent

20
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: conversation with the Giants that you were going.

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: To go to the Jets if it was tied.

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: Can you just walk us through that decision, and obviously

23
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: Jets and Giants arrivals, why are we going to go there.

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: What was it really money that made you come here?

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: That extra million dollars?

26
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, good question.

27
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: Going through this process trying to figure out what teams

28
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: were interested, and obviously both the Jests and Giants had

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: offensive line needs at the time, and came down to it.

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: I got a.

31
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Really good relationship with coach Hackett over there the OC

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: and obviously I played with Aaron for three years and

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: they have a lot of other Green Bay guys over there,

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: so they kind of felt comfortable. And I really thought

35
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: that the Jets were going to kind of be at

36
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: the forefront of that, and they came in, made an offer,

37
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: and in the end it all worked out. You know,

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: the money is the money whatever. But I really believe

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: in you know what, Joe and with Brandon and what

40
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: Dave's and Karen and everybody else in the building's building here.

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: I like how this team is built from top to

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: bottom on the office side of the ball especially, we

43
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: have playmakers all around.

44
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Old line is going to be really solid.

45
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Friendly to believe that, and we just got to give

46
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 2: our quarterback time there to make plays and then that's

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: gona be really excited.

48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: It's interesting to me because that team at least from

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: the outside, is closer to winning a Super Bowl. Obviously

50
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: they have Aaron Rodgers, et cetera, so winning wise they

51
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: would be closer. But here, like you're part of building

52
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: something and you're certainly like maybe a more important piece

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: here is Did that talk about that part?

54
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: Yeah?

55
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to say anything about that Jets organization.

56
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: You could say that they are built, you know, for

57
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: right now, mode to go win the Super build this year.

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: But I firmly believe and how this franchise here is built,

59
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: and I think they're building not just for this year.

60
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 2: I think they're building for the next four or five years.

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: So that's what really excited me about it, and the

62
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: fact that I come here if you really wanted here

63
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: and welcome. It's been amazing here. I've been really enjoying

64
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: this organization and the people in it, especially.

65
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: In terms of how like the secondary was five guys

66
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: or four guys working is one. How do you build

67
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: that communication amongst the group to where you all are

68
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: seeing and speaking the same language out there on the field.

69
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of twofold. It's the reps you get

70
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: together and you know how many reps you can build

71
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: together this offensive line and how valuable that communication is

72
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: when you're in the huddle and then on the line

73
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: of scrimmage when the pictures changing, being able to communicate

74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: with that, and it starts in the film room and

75
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: being in there in the film room and paying attention,

76
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: even though those are some long two hour meetings, sometimes

77
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: being on the same page, wondering how understanding how DJ

78
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: s's the defense, understanding how John Michaels can identify it,

79
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: and then the guards and tackles being able to communicate

80
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: with each other and should get everybody in the same page.

81
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: But it's a full it's a full team effort, all

82
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: those five guys there and DJ has to know what

83
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: we're doing, and so to the backs and even sometimes

84
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: the tight end. So it's just a lot of film work,

85
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: a lot of reps together and being able to build

86
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: that trust.

87
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: And it's just start now.

88
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: And I really like how these first three days of

89
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: camp have gone so far. I feel like we left

90
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: we left off right where we started and otis and

91
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: it's been really inspiring.

92
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: What if your first impressions of Devin's single Therey been

93
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: everybody calls the motor? Have you gotten that motor impression

94
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: for Yeah.

95
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: You see it every day with him. He's a true professional.

96
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: He does everything right. There's there hasn't been one play

97
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: where you know, there's just kind of any lapse in anything.

98
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: He's he's one hundred percent committed. Uh he does everything right,

100
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: all the techniques. He's full go until the echo of

101
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: the whistle and uh uh. He's really exciting to have

102
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: back there. You know, a slipper here is in space.

103
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: He just he's just a technician. He's gonna be in

104
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: the right spot all the time, and he's gonna hit

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: the right hole. He's gonna be downhill and I think

106
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: I think we're all really excited to have him in

107
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: the offense. And I'm excited to have him run behind

108
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: me make me and the other four guys look really good.

109
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: And that's always really important to running back and do that.

110
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: As pretty much told us that Jermaine would be back

111
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: on Sunday, and surprise, surprise, he was out there today.

112
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, did that catch you wolf guard?

113
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Jermaine is going through that little the

114
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: little bruise that he got from desha shoulder that would

115
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: definitely hurt. You're taking a large man's shoulder right into

116
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: your road caage and you can tell he's in a

117
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: lot of pain, but he's out there and he wants

118
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: to be out there moving over to tackle. I feel

119
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: like that's really his natural position and he just wants

120
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: to get on the field, doesn't matter what he's gonna play,

121
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: And it's good to have him out there, and says

122
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: a lot about a player when you know he goes

123
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: out there, you can tell that he's finding through pain,

124
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: he's out there trying to better himself, to better the team,

125
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: and I think guys taking note of that, and it's

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 2: awesome timing back out there today.

127
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: Is there any talk when he went out to right

128
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: tackle of you going over to left guard or once

129
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: you stay at right you want to be there?

130
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, as of right now.

131
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: No, the whole flip flopping thing is tough, going from

132
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: you know, one side to the other left right, so

133
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: trying to build some you know, cohesion with whatever side

134
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: you're going on and going from left side right, so

135
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: your whole body has to change, you know this everything

136
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: is just reflected and whole eyes and in hands is

137
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: all different. So it's nice being able to stick on the

138
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: one side and who knows.

139
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: We'll see John.

140
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: How much have you talked to Evan Neil, and from

141
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: talking to him or communicating with him, what do you

142
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: think he's capable of, you know, coming off of this

143
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 5: kind of injury and long rehab process.

144
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough.

145
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: Evan's been in a tough situation and it's not his fault.

146
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes stuff just happens like that. And I see him

147
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: in here every day. He's working, he's with the strength

148
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: staff all the time. I see him in the training room.

149
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: He's bound to get back. He's doing that he can

150
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: as much as he can. And sometimes the body doesn't

151
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: always just mind exactly how you wont but he's in there,

152
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: and he's in the meeting room. He's asking questions, he's

153
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: paying attention sitting next to him the team meeting room.

154
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: He's always asking questions, and.

155
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: You know, betting on top of this stuff and going

156
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: back or going over plays the install and kind of

157
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: see Evan running through.

158
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: Whatever play we're installing there.

159
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: And he's a great athlete for how large he is,

160
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: how well he can move. And I know when he

161
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: comes back he'll be he's locked in, he'll be ready,

162
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: and when he gets healthy it's gonna be fun having.

163
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: Him back out there.

164
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: John, what's like going against decks every day?

165
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: Pre I mean you want it gets a real good one,

166
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: Kenny Clark.

167
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

168
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: I thought going against Dexter twice in four years is

169
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: enough and I gotta deal with it every day, and uh,

170
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: it's good. It's it's only going to make you better.

171
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: You know, like they say, Iron Chremand's iron. And if

172
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: you're locked on any technique, your your hands missed, or

173
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: you're too high, he's going to expose you immediately. So

174
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: every single play with him, you got to ring a

175
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: hundred per and you got to be locked in and focus,

176
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: and it's only gonna make me and everybody else better

177
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: being able to go against something like that. One of

178
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: the best d tackles in the NFL. I think he

179
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: is capability wanted being the best all time. Just he

180
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: moves so well for being you know, whatever weight he's

181
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: at and how big he is. It's just really really

182
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: awesome being on to work together with him and make

183
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: each other better and build this offensive defensive line because

184
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: I feel like that's gonna be the heartbeat of this team,

185
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: how well we control the line of scrimming so being

186
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: able to work with him is is a real blessing.

187
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: What's your center experience? We saw back to Hard Knocks

188
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: car and Brisillo said that you might get be like

189
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: a backup center, emergency center type guy.

190
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

191
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: I played center in the preseason with the Packers. I

192
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: think once once or twice, maybe about two or three quarters.

193
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: I've practiced a lot my whole rookie years.

194
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: I was a scout team center, so I've always been

195
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: able to snap getting out there in the game. I've

196
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: always been kind of the emergency center whenever we need that.

197
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: So I always feel like I always think of myself

198
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: more of a guard, but if I'm needed there in center,

199
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: I feel comfortable enough, and pre practice I'm out there

200
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: taking center.

201
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: Quarterback has changed, so something I feel comfortable with.

202
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: And it's just part of being an NFL player, especially

203
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: on the interior, being able to play left, right and center.

204
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: It's kind of like being a swing tackle.

205
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: So that's kind of like the expectation when you're a

206
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: young guy being the league, being an interior guy, being

207
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: able to snap. So something's just a stuck with me,

208
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: and I feel like it's just a good trait to

209
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: have and keep it in the back pocket.

210
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: What do you see from since you've had that center experience,

211
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 3: What do you see from Jmas and how he's come

212
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: back after his rookie year.

213
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, I praise JMS a lot.

214
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: I say it all the time.

215
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe that he's a second year player, so smart,

216
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: he's on top of all this stuff. He gets everybody

217
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: up front on the same page immediately, there's no hesitation

218
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: in any of the ways that he identifies the defense.

219
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: As soon as you put your hand down, you know

220
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: what you're doing. He gets everybody set and it's just

221
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: so just so strong on the inside and being able

222
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: to battle against Desh every day just gonna make him

223
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: so much better. And I know, I know it's gonna

224
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: be a little rough here and there in practice, but

225
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: that's gonna make such a difference for him in the game.

226
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: And really excited for what he's got going and how

227
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: much he helps and make this offense go
