1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: And how do you I think you did two different 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: groups of three captains for the first two games. Is 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: that based off like who has the best week we 4 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: got practice? How do you decide that? And when you 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: decide your permanent contain it's it's right now, it's random. Um, 6 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: so I'll pick three new ones this week and three 7 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: new ones for the fourth game, and then once we 8 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: get to the fifty three, we'll we'll talk about who 9 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: the captains are. You guys signed Pressley the running back. UM, 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: what do you know about him? What do you guys 11 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: like about him? I was with him before, good runner, fast, UM, 12 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: tough guy. So we brought him in. He's got some 13 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: familiarity with what we do offensively, and um, we'll get 14 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: him into mix. I didn't see uh Darren Thompson, O'Connor 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: bar Yeah, so they just just rehab him. What do 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: you think it would the first in the offensive life. 17 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: I think we've been and we're improving. I think, um, 18 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, early in the game last week, we probably didn't. 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: We weren't getting the yard in the in the run 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: game that that you know, we're up to our standards. 21 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: But by the end of it, we found a way 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: but I thought the first group, they're doing a good 23 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: job of working together and they're getting better every day. 24 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: But the other day you mentioned the Lions, you know 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: about the run defense, they weren't really trying to run 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: that much. So would you try to analyze like your 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: run game, you're not really working it, are you. You know, 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: you kind of have a few runs and you go 29 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: to something else. You let guys know we're working it. 30 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: I think I didn't call the game much differently than 31 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: I would. You know, so we're working the run game, 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: and you know, as you go through it, you know 33 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: there's ebbs and flows in the game, and as you 34 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: go through the game, there's there's times when passing the 35 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: ball makes sense and then there's time with one running it. 36 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: You know, late in the game, we're running it almost 37 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: every play, and so you know, I think, I think 38 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: you just need to call runs, assuming the score is 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: the way it needs to be. You need to call 40 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: runs throughout the game. And I don't know if that 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: helps you with your your question, but um, the running 42 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: back needs to touch the ball, and I think you 43 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: know you can obviously can throw it to them, but 44 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: you need to run the ball for your offense, but 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: also for your defense. We need offensive life. For a second, 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you have five new guys essentially here, at least considering 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: the positions they're playing, right, what's the realistic education of 48 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: where they should be considering how much Montal needs to 49 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: that position. Well, they should be in a position where 50 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: they block well running pass. I mean, that's that's what 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: we're looking for. And there's enough. You know, the amount 52 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: of training that we have together is what it is 53 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: that we all have the same and so we're not 54 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: the only offensive line with changes. We've probably got more 55 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: than some places. But we went through this year ago 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. It could be done. You know, we've got 57 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: good players that are playing hard and they're playing together, 58 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: and so we'll just expect that they're going to do 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a good job. Block didn't adden a for you Week 60 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: one last year? Was it's something that you still had 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: a well, I mean there was progress. Well, I think 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: to your point, you know, we saw elements of it. 63 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: You know, we won the first game, and um, you know, 64 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: I think it was a winning performance by that group. 65 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: And then but anytime you do it longer and longer, 66 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: you know, to get you know together, you certainly get 67 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: better and better. Do you feel settled with the five 68 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: guys you have it there right now because you have 69 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: some backupsode expen Jerry Jones Greco. Yeah, I don't. I 70 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: think we're still a little little unsettled in terms of 71 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: determining who that full unit and that full group is. 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of decisions to be made. Um, 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: you know when we're not we're not done deciding who's 74 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: going to be the lineman on our fifty three and 75 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: you know we may take keep one more lineman than usual. 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: Who knows, so we gotta we gotta figure that out 77 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: as we go. You're always going through, Okay, who are 78 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: the five if we have to play tomorrow, who are 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: the five starters? Who's the inside swing guy, who's the 80 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: outside swing guy? And maybe there's games when you keep 81 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: eight active, depending on what the rest of the roster 82 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: looks like. So that out No, not so no, we 83 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: talked about it constantly, but no, that's that's for a 84 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: different time, different place. What are you're seeing from the 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: returners and good try where's that competition staying right now? Yeah, 86 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean we're again we're a little bit unsettled there 87 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: as well. Decide. You know what's so there, We've got 88 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: guys back there working. We'll just play it out through 89 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: the preseason and see where it goes. Men, you mention 90 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: before about your captain's Um, what do you look for 91 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: in captain? And you lean on your kids, you think 92 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: you will lean on your captains a lone. Yeah, I 93 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: think captains are you know, leaders of sort right, so 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: they got to do the right thing at the right time, 95 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: for the right reasons and not really worry about the consequences. Um, 96 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm I'm watching these guys constantly, and 97 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, once we get to the point where the 98 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, we have a little voting and we decide 99 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: who our captains are going to be. I have an 100 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: idea how many I want on both sides of the 101 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: ball and and in special teams. And what's important is 102 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: those guys are guys that are doing the right thing 103 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: all the time. And it doesn't just start when training 104 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: camp started. It started back in the off season because 105 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, even though it's not mandatory, being around is right, 106 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: and we all know that seem like was doing Yes, yeah, 107 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I I didn't notice as much, but yeah, he was working. 108 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: I know that that was the plan. So how do 109 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: you look? You look pretty good? Good good, ready to train, 110 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: ready to practice and plan it. Well, we'll find out. 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: We'll see as we go here. Let's just say his 112 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: day to day. What if you see multi gross ass 113 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: this summer and what made you think when you look 114 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: back at last year, then you know you can kind 115 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: of kick clean slate. You know, I think when I 116 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: watched him kick in very strong leg and I think 117 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: he's a strong legged guy that you know. I've see 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: he has that as part of his strength, being able 119 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: to kick the ball off the end zone, which is important. 120 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: And I think as we've worked with him, him and 121 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: Marshall both um, they're getting cleaner and cleaner with their 122 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: extra point field goal mechanics, and so we're working with 123 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: him expect them to improve, and we've seen that improvement. 124 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if this was your hand us light here, 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: but from what I understand, the last year, the Giant's 126 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: offensive line was so scattered around. Logging a little bit 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: brought them all together in areas that's what That's something 128 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: you did and what did you hope to game? Yes, yeah, 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: in fact, it is what I did. I think it's 130 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: important that in the locker room. You know, it's that 131 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: big oval shape, you know. I think you should sit 132 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: with with your position groups, and you know a lot. Hey, 133 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna go as far as that line on block force, 134 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: And I think it's important that they're together and everything 135 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: they do. And you know, even if they're sitting, you know, 136 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: next to one another, they may talk about something that 137 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: happened in practice or something that happened in the meeting 138 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: that they wouldn't shout across the locker room with. So 139 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just think it's I think it's 140 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: just smart to sit with your position groups. Did you 141 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: do did you do it? For? Old? Positions grow like 142 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: old puzzy together, it's like a big puzzle, you know, 143 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: and then the challenge is when a player leaves and 144 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: you bring in another one, and then you're just it's 145 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: like it's just a big puzzle, another fun thing to 146 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: do when I'm waiting for practice to start, you know,
