1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: First game back, and obviously any agree that kept you

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: out several weeks.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so whatever is a week sixty seven

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 3: Obviously, just taking not playing in three weeks and playing

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 3: an NFL game and having the workload I had.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: Obviously gonna be a little sore.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 3: But we got great, great strength staff here, great trainings here,

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: and have a great team outside of this. So just

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: continue to take care of my body to stay strong

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: for this coming no weekend, for the rest of the season.

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: But they ain't going in particular anything no.

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: Said that of that, I think when we can win

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: this week against Washington do for this team.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: You can do a lot. You can do a lot.

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: Uh. All it takes is one one win and get

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: the confidence even even in games you lose, Uh, you

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: can you can find that sometimes that could be like

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: a helpful, helpful, uh turning point throughout the season. And

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: a team like Buffalo going there in a hostile environment,

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: playing a really good team, coming out with a game

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: that we played we should have had.

23
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Obviously we didn't do enough.

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: You can use that as you know, the turnpoint and

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: help catapult us to coming into this week going back

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: on uh, back in our stadium against we're our fans,

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: against the division opponent, and getting divisional win can be

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: to start Something's question.

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 4: Even in tough times here in the last five six years,

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 4: the one team you guys have always had success against

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: is Washington anything to that? Is it a good matchup

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: and is that something you can draw confidence out of?

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Every year is a new year. We don't look at

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: it that way.

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: They're a great team and every same time we go

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: against them, you know, we know what type of Graham

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: is going to be.

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: It's a divisional opponent.

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: But just because we had success against teams in the

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: past doesn't really correlate to this season or this year.

41
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: So a whole new year, a whole new season, whole

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: new game, and we're just a decided to get back

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: in our stadium against the Vision opponentent and try to

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: get back on the right right track. What do you

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: think of what Justin Pugh was able to do? Man Hatch,

46
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: talk to him, h he's a baller. I wasn't I

47
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: wasn't here when he was here. I think I came

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: in the year after right the year after him, or

49
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: the yeah I came to Zeer he left or whatever.

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: But Uh, just what he brings to the team, the leadership. Obviously,

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: you see how tough he is. But he's a heck

52
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: of a player, and uh, we're gonna we're gonna continue

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: to need, uh need his presence and the way that

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: he played to get his back on the right path.

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Like him, he's got a chance to get to know.

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

57
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: So when I when I uh, when I was training

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: exos during you know, when I wasn't here for O,

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: he was, he was.

60
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: So we played golf a couple.

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: Of times when we were in the same uh, in

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: the same facility the whole time. So got to exchange

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: numbers there and talk to him, and I'm just happy

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: he's there before you knew it, Yeah, exactly right sake.

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: One, do you believe that one win could could just

66
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: change the whole complexion.

67
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Of this season? Yeah, I do believe that.

68
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: I know you weren't here yet, but I kind of

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: answered that already, But I do believe that one one

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: can turn this thing out, turn and turn this thing

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: around against a vision opponent back home. Also, I do

72
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: believe that, you know, last week, even though the gaming

73
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: they come out the way we would like it, Uh,

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: we learned a lot about ourselves as a team. We

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 3: falls off against a really good team and just came

76
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: off short. And a lot of those reasons why we

77
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: came up short. It was, you know, self afflictive wounds,

78
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: penalties and mays stuff that we can do better. Wasn't

79
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: you know anything that they did? Not taking credit away

80
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: from them when you go back and watch a film

81
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: that that helps you get confidence going to a division

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: opponent saying, all right, if we could take care the

83
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: little things and focus on us, I'm gonna put ourself

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: in position to win games.

85
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Looming in the background here, how do you block out

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: that noise and focus on the Giants playing their best

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: football now when you need to play your best football.

88
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: It's not really blocking it out, you know. I can't

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: control that. Like it's not like I'm able to make

90
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: any decisions or have any say in that. Only thing

91
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: that I have one day that I have is the

92
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: way I show up to work and the way I

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: go out there.

94
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: And compete, And that's the things I can control.

95
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: Have you thought you've always wanted to be a giant forever?

96
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: Have you thought about the fact that it might not

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: be in two weeks?

98
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: No, I mean I never crossed my mind.

99
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: Obviously, I've been in public and vocal about how I

100
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: feel about this organization and where.

101
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: I want to be.

102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: But like I said, you know, knowing the business and

103
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: seeing that side of it, there's a lot of things

104
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: that I can't control. So sitting here, everyone else how

105
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: I feel. No one everyone knows. I don't want to

106
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: get traded or I mean, I don't think anybody in

107
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 3: their right mind will want to get traded anywhere.

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: It's not an easy thing to do. You got to move.

109
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: I have a family.

110
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: I would love to be here, but like I said,

111
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: it's not in my control. My focus to be the

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: leader I can be for the same to try to

113
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: get this thing on the right track.

114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: With me and my team.

115
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: Know, my focus is Washington, trying to come back and

116
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: get a win. Obviously, you know, happy that I'm healthy again,

117
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: be able to get back on the field. Uh got

118
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: close to win last week. Now it's got tried to

119
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: continue to improve, try to get a win.

120
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: Look when you look at their defense and their ability

121
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 4: to get to the football and get to the quarterback.

122
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 2: How much respect that you have for this Washington group.

123
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: I always have respect for the you know, their defense

124
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: is amazing. It's always fun playing against them like a

125
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 3: competitive way. I got nothing of respect for the whole defense,

126
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: but especially those four monsters. I just feel like they've

127
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: been there forever. They've been there as long as I've

128
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: been there. The only one who hasn't, I think it

129
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: is Chased and Chaser was good a year after that.

130
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: So going against them, it's fun. They're they're they're they're

131
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: they're fun groups to play against. It's always competitive, it's

132
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: always tough. It's a challenge. Uh that as a competitor,

133
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: you you love to go against.

134
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: So look forward to doing that again and hopefully we

135
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: come out of one.

136
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Yes that you guys have those touchdowns and now two

137
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: hundred minutes do you go what's question? What was the question?

138
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: Is it confounded to you?

139
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this is a high scoring league.

140
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Now everything's sort of tilted towards the office.

141
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Do you know why it's happening?

142
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: And yes, simple simple, I mean I know it's two

143
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: hundred minutes, but.

144
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: It's simple.

145
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: We're not we're not executing, we're not doing what we

146
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: need to do. We get into the red zone. Uh,

147
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: we have self inflicting wounds. Whether it's penalties, whether it's

148
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: m a, whether it's you know, got all yourself accountable.

149
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: I'll go back and I watch against the Bills. There's

150
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: a run I slipped on. If I keep my feet,

151
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: it won't be two hundred minutes. I probably going to

152
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: safety and have a chance to go score. We just

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 3: gotta gotta lock in, get a sense of urgently as

154
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: we get closer and when opportunity to come, make a

155
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: pay for it. But not to really focus on high scoring,

156
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: scoring forty points, you know, I think that's I think

157
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: that's where a lot of people get confused, that the

158
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: main thing is winning winning football games. And you know,

159
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: even last year, at this point last year we were

160
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: five to one. A lot of people do like how

161
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 3: we were five to one because it was more old fashioned.

162
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: We were running the ball, we weren't throwing three thousand

163
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: yards or whatever. But we'll find a way to win games.

164
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: Like I think a lot of people much rather be

165
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: in that scenario than scoring a lot of points and

166
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: still be in one to five. So whatever it takes

167
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: to win football games, and sometimes we're gon'nt have to

168
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: score a lot of points. Sometimes it might be six

169
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: or three as long as we win. We just got

170
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: to find a way to do it, kind of settle down.

171
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Last second you get plays give you confidence, the offense

172
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: confidence heading.

173
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: Into this one. Yeah, I mean definitely gives you confidence.

174
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: It's I mean, like, obviously we could sit here and

175
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: we could we could say what we want about how

176
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: the office the line been playing, and I'm not going

177
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: to sit here and make any excuses for them, but

178
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: the reality is is what we had six seven, and

179
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: we know the number of how many starting combinations and

180
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: how many people been out and been down in and out.

181
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: Like that's the toughest, you know, toughest position to play

182
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: because all five of those guys gotta being synk and

183
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: sometimes you know, it helps when you play with each

184
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: other for a long time, but that has not.

185
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: Been the case.

186
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: And you can see when we're able to all be

187
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: on the same page. Uh, it may not be perfect,

188
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: but we'll be able to split some long runs and

189
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: be able to go down the field and they play,

190
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: So none of our confidence is lost in those guys.

191
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: We know we're only going to get better.

192
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: We know we're gonna get God's healthier, and they're gonna

193
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: come back and you know, just keep keep trusting in them,

194
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 3: but I feel like they get too much, too much disrespect,

195
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: and I want took my hats off to a lot

196
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 3: of those guys playing out of position. Who's going out

197
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: there and fighting for us even though it's not going away.

198
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: We would like, uh definitely want to recognize that for them.

199
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: And you know, if we keep if they keep going,

200
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: we keep going to this stuff.

201
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: Gonna turn around it, right, sake one.

202
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes with the running back, you feel like you're on

203
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: the precipice of breaking one. You mentioned taking something from

204
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: a loss, even to the bill, Do you feel like

205
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: this team is on the precipice of breaking it or

206
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: getting it together?

207
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we could. It can go one

208
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: one way or the other. And it's simple.

209
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: It can go really well or we can continue to

210
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: fight and continue to keep losing games.

211
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

212
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: And I think where I believe, and you.

213
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Know, I feel like we believe as the team is.

214
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: Obviously we need to come away with a win that

215
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: last game, but that can be you know, we've more

216
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 3: times than not the way we fought in that game,

217
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: the way that we played, and you come away with

218
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 3: a win. So hopefully we continue to have that mindset,

219
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: continue to have faced in each other, beliefs in each other,

220
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: and just get one. And then when you get one,

221
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: focus on get another one, and another one another one

222
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: is Take it like that,
