1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Take one with the aftermath like of a season like

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: this ending as it did. Um, you know, you come in,

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: you talk about it. Uh, you go over what you're

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna do for the off season, and you go over

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: things that you complished this year. Uh. It's I'll say,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: the way that the year and it sucks. Um, we're

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna go out how we would like to go out.

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of good to happen, to share

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: and a lot of things you could prove on and

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: build from. So UM, that's really was you know that

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: the mindset and and the conversation I was had. You

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: know this morning, Bass is still fresh and I was satisfying.

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Was this year for you fully healthy to get to

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: the playoffs and help a solid year? That was fun? Uh,

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: it was fun something I always wanted to. I always

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: wanted to play in the playoffs, completing the playoffs and

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: compete for a championship. Obviously the first couple of years

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: here that it happened. Um, I believe that we'll well,

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: we'll get to the spot at some point and I

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: wanted to be part of it. I've been vocal about that,

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: and we're able to accomplish that this year. Um, and um,

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: you know if over the future holes the contract has

23
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of been on the background or all season, I know,

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: but now the season's over, Like what are you looking for?

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: What would you know, trying to reset the running back market?

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: But it's just your goals. UM. I mean I'm not

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: really too concertain about recent any markets or anything like that. Um.

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm realistic. I know where I was on, you know,

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: pace to do, but having two years of filled up

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: with injuries and you know, having a season and not

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: performing to level I know I could perform doesn't help.

32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: But I think I was able to show that the

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: type of player I am, um, and the things I'm

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: able to do on a football field. Um, that's something

35
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: that that's something I wanted to do. That was my

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: goal this year and I was able to accomplish that. Um.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: And now it's just you know, sit down with my

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: agent Kim um and see what happens. And entertained the

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: thought of not walking back into this locker room. Uh no, UM.

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, I couldn't imagine that being

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: the last time being in a Giants uniform. But that's

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: just a nature of the business. You know. I can't

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: control any of that. Uh, it comes with it. Um,

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I've been vocal how I feel. Um Man, I'm excited

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: for the future no matter what happens. Man's that's there

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: is that sports cliche out there, the hometown distance, the

47
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: hometown discount. That's kind of what people talk about in me.

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Is that in your mind at all? Or for you?

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to do what's best for me. I have

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: to do what's best for me. Um. Yeah, I'm not

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna really get into that. I I gotta sit down

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: and really talk to Kim and um. Forgot the numbers

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: and feel for everything. Obviously we had a conversation middle

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: of the season about it. Um. But when after the

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: bye we really put that to rest. Um, then focus

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: on its focus on the season and try the people

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: for a championship. Um. You know, all that conversation will

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: come up pressed those those those talks that you guys

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: had in the middle of the season, you feel a

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of bridge the gap a little bit. I mean

61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: at the time, you know, we would love to have

62
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: got the GIL done during the bye week. Um. You

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: know obviously it wasn't able to get done. Uh, but

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's it's like you kind of learned like

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: the business side of it and learn the numbers of it.

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: And uh, you know you're not really focused on it

67
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: as a player, but you can see that side of

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. But um, yeah, it was definitely helpful.

69
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Um knowing we're who I guess what we could be

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: or where we want to be, uh for next year,

71
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: But I said, all that is out of my control. Um,

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: the season still fresh, we just lost, Um, you know,

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: really focused on you know, just wrapping up this year

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: on a good note. And that's in his locker room.

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Spend time with the players. Spend time with the guys. Uh,

76
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's getting dinner and I or something

77
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: like that, and um, recapping the season. There's obviously a

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: huge business side or aspect to it. All right, you know,

79
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: anything can happen. And against that point, have you hasn't

80
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: even sunk into you that you never know how it plays,

81
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: that that could have been your last game as a Giant.

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Do you allow yourself to think that? No, you don't.

83
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I guess if that was to become the case, you know,

84
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: I'll reflect on it in in that moment, but uh,

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm on per I'm pretty positive thinker. Um, I'm just

86
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: happy to living life. You know, I'm a little kid,

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: play for a great organization, played the support that I love.

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: And the sad thing is it's at this time of

89
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: your life and this profession is a business. So wherever

90
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: happens happens. But you know, I can't control that. I

91
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: sat down with him and figure that stuff out and

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: eventually maybe I don't in coming days or weeks. Would

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you will you look back on this season team wise

94
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: as the most fulfillment you've had as a pro. Um,

95
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: just not even off of like the record or competing

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, just how much fun it was, Uh,

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: playing paint pong um, the competitive nature and off season

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: all the little things um that that helped build a

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: team kind of felt more like a college vibe and

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, these guys that you're you're going to be

101
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: friends with for the rest of your lives. And uh,

102
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: it was fun obviously the season and end up how

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: we were like, but definitely, you know, the most fun

104
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I had in a long time. Will you watch that

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: game back? I haven't watched it yet, but yeah, definitely

106
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: will go back and watch it. Um. Yeah, just being

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: in it, not watching the film, but just being in it.

108
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: You know they were a better team, and they showed up.

109
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: We didn't show up, and they made more plays in

110
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: US
