00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. How much new stuff did you see that's

31
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: in here that maybe wasn't in here when you're with

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Daves in Buffalo.

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: Uh, it was, it was. It's been a decent amount,

34
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 4: to be honest. But like I said, it's been smooth,

35
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: like nice, you know, getting back into the office and

36
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 4: learning everything.

37
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: What's been the most challenging thing for you about being

38
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: in New York, big city and just trying to figure

39
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: out how things are going to work here in a

40
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: whole new building. You know, mechanics are different, all that

41
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.

42
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: No, Man, Probably the most challenging thing was traffic and

43
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: finding a home. But other than that, it's been smooth. Yeah,

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: that's probably been the most difficult thing.

45
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: What do you think of the running back room and

46
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: your running backs coach?

47
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, the running back room, we're young, but I think

48
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: we got guys that's willing to learn and ready to work.

49
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 4: So on with that. You know, the sky's the limit

50
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: for us. You know, I'm the vet. Now what it

51
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: feels funny to say?

52
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Is that weird for you?

53
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: It is.

55
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: I feel like this is the first time I've been

56
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: the oldest guy in the room. But uh, I said,

57
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to this year. Coach JT.

58
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 6: Man.

59
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: He been around, so I knew him, like coming out

60
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: in the combine. So it's it's I don't want to

61
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: say we reuniting, but you know, I knew him. It's

62
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: a it's a familiar face. He knows ball, he brings

63
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 4: great energy. So I'm looking forward to, you know, this

64
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: season with him and so forth.

65
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, JT. Running backs coach Joe Thomas. You talk

66
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: about the youth of the room, right, Let's talk about

67
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a couple of those young guys, Eric Gray and Tyron Chacy.

68
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: How are they kind of come along in your eyes

69
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: and learning the stuff that running backs have to learn

70
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: to get on the field, like past protection, Simon's being

71
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: in the right place, things like that.

72
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think they're headed in the right direction.

73
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think none of us are perfect,

74
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 4: but it's always room for improvement, you know, but man,

75
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: from what I see, they've been doing well and this

76
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: year is gonna be fun for us.

77
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Tyrold Tracy seems like a pretty unique guy. He was

78
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: played wide receiver on one year running back in college

79
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: and everyone I've talked to you said, he's been he's

80
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: been pretty sharp in terms of picking things up.

81
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has been. He's been picking it up quickly.

82
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: That's not always easy to do, especially especially when you

83
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: haven't played running back that much and then making the

84
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: jump from college to the pros. Man, he been doing well.

85
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: He's been doing well.

86
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: What is it about this group together on offense, the

87
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver weapons, the quarterbacks of running backs that makes

88
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: you think that this unit can be really special this year.

89
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 4: Man, we got we got weapons across the board, you know,

90
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: playmakers and uh you know, guys, we've been jelling together,

91
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: coming together over this off season, and I think us

92
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: the bun is only going to grow as as the

93
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: season goes on. You know, when you go through things,

94
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: you get closer with guys. So and I'm looking forward

95
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: to it.

96
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: Now.

97
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: You've been with two extremely talented quarterbacks and you're right,

98
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: very different ones. He just drive very different than Josh Allen.

99
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.

100
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is basically like a physical freak. That guy

101
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: can do anything he wants to and then he just

102
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: shout his rookie was fantastic. You've caught passes and worked

103
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: with Tommy DeVito and Drew Locke and Daniel's done seven

104
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: on seven. What do you think about the quarterback room

105
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: that you have here with the Giants?

106
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: I think we have a good quarterback room, you know,

107
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: Like you said, I had the opportunity to play with

108
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: two of the best in the lead right now, and

109
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: from what I've seen with our guys, we got a chance.

110
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: You know, that's all you can ask for in this lead.

111
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: You know, Danny Dimes is you know, he's making his

112
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 4: way back. He's been looking good and video and Locke

113
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: been making plays all all season. So man, I said,

114
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun this season.

115
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: When you're seeing Daniel close up. Everyone a lot of

116
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: the guys that come here or even people that work

117
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and you know, cover the team that like, you know,

118
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Daniel is that good an athlete until

119
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I saw him close up, really run and do stuff

120
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: like some of the physical stuff with him that close

121
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: did some of that stuff, like, oh wow, this guy's

122
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: like to get it.

123
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 2: Man.

124
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: I'm a football here, so I watched a lot of football,

125
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 4: so it had been jumped off to me, like what

126
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: do you can do? Like as far as have been athletic? Yea,

127
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 4: what really? I would say, like, I'm like, ah, when

128
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 4: I got here, when I saw him throw the ball,

129
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: like his touch and his accuracy, I'm like, all right,

130
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: this is why they call him, you know, Danny Dimes.

131
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: You know, that's what really stood out to me.

132
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff. Hey, it's been fun watching it, and

133
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: we'll see you back for training camp.

134
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 4: Right, Oh yeah, I appreciate you fasting appreciate it.

135
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: And now we're joined by Giant's second year running back

136
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Eric Gray. Eric, what's going on man?

137
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: Man living to Daim?

138
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm doing great, dude. All right, so

139
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about it.

140
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 5: Let's do it.

141
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: First off season where you're not doing rookie stuff. You're

142
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna have a combine to get ready for worry about

143
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: the draft. You're actually here all off season getting ready.

144
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: What was your goals? What was your focus in terms

145
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: of where you wanted to try to get better?

146
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 5: My goals this year, you know, is just to take

147
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: that time to uh, you know, first take a break,

148
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: you know, get some time off, have some fun with

149
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: the family, but you know, just just getting ready for

150
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: the year, like getting ready mentally. Really, my biggest thing

151
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 5: is being this off season, getting ready mentally. No, because

152
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 5: your mental drives you f cool for me. So I've

153
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 5: just been doing that for some time now.

154
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it's underrated how much goes into

155
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: the running back position, especially in this offense, from a

156
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: mental perspective. So specifically, what were some of the mental

157
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: stuff for your position that you were trying to lock

158
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: in on?

159
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 5: For me, you know, it was just just wanting to

160
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 5: go out there and not let anyone stop me from

161
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 5: you know, being me, you know, not let anyone stop

162
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 5: me from being great, you know whatever that looks like.

163
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 5: That's what just I've been doing, just saying like, no

164
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 5: one's going to stop me from being me. I'm going

165
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 5: to be me and I'm going to show you know

166
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: who er Gray is and I'm not gonna let anybody

167
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: stop me from doing that at all.

168
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Big challenge for running backs all in their career is

169
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: always the past protection part of the game. That's how

170
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: you get on the field We know you can catch

171
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: the ball in college right perceiving, but we whant you

172
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: get on the field to receive the ball. They got

173
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: to build a trust its quarterback. How did that come

174
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: along for you as a rookie?

175
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, you see it.

176
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 5: It's just about you see once you get in there,

177
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 5: it's really about your base, about your beut, your technique.

178
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: That's why I want to get to about your technique.

179
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: Once you have your technique down, then it's just a

180
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: battle from there. You know, you always you see a

181
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 5: lot of guys that want to do it, but they

182
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 5: just have to get the technique right. And that's kind

183
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: of what I learned.

184
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I talked to the wide receivers about how complicated this

185
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: offenses and they got to run you know, one word,

186
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: they got to know their route, what you adjustment, saw,

187
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. Is it the same thing

188
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: for the running back position.

189
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 5: It's a little different for them because they got to know,

190
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: like you said, they got to no routs, they got

191
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: to no motions, they got to know shifts, they got

192
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: to know all of that. So we got a little

193
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 5: tier part of it. But we got no protections as well,

194
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 5: So we got to know the runs, the pass and

195
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 5: the protection.

196
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: So we got a little bit more One thing. I

197
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: noticed that and maybe you guys were doing this and

198
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: walked through last year. We just weren't out there for it.

199
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: But during OTA's the running backs, get with the tight ends,

200
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: and get with the quarterback, get with the offensive line.

201
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: You guys are making calls and you're making you everyone's

202
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: picking up the right guys. How has it been working

203
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: with Carmen Bursol the offensive line and trying to kind

204
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: of get all that together with what the protection scheme

205
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: is going to be like this year?

206
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: You know, this whole new office of staff that came

207
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 5: in and done a great job of making sure, you know,

208
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: the things that we kind of needed help with last

209
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 5: year that we addressed it first in OTA's Like you said,

210
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: so going out there making calls, making sure everyone's on

211
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: the same pace, seeing it through the same lens is

212
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 5: what everybody's been trying to do.

213
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Last year. You got a chance on special teams, right

214
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: and then probably don't go as walls you would have liked.

215
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Confidence wise, Did that take a while for you to

216
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: deal with? Were you okay with it? And in terms

217
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: of trying to bounce back from some of those struggles.

218
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. I don't think confidence was ever my problem,

219
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: you know, just in my life. I don't think confidence

220
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: was ever my problem. It was just, you know, it

221
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 5: was a new thing. It was a new thing. Sure,

222
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: it was a new thing being out there. But I

223
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: felt like I didn't I didn't do I feel like

224
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: I did pretty well, didn't do a didn't do a

225
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 5: terrible job.

226
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: It was just new.

227
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes one play here or there and that's all people

228
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: remember exactly exactly.

229
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: It's just new. It was just a new idea. But

230
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 5: you know, I'm ready to go this year though, for sure,

231
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: Oh you're really for sure?

232
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: For sure? What do you think of the running back room?

233
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: You have Devin Singletary in there, now, a nice vet

234
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: motor would have been like working with.

235
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: Him, it's been a great job, you know, like you said,

236
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 5: he's a vet. Uh, he's played this game for a

237
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 5: long time. You know, he's he's kind of like the

238
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 5: vet in the room. You know, he's got a lot

239
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 5: of insight on different plays. He's been in his system

240
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 5: as well at Buffalo, so he got a lot of

241
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: insight on how things go.

242
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: And Tyron Chercay I heard he's picked up stuff pretty quick, right.

243
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he's been doing a great job of coming in,

244
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: like you said, picking things up quick.

245
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: He's been a edition.

246
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: What are your goals for yourself this year?

247
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 5: Like I said, just being me, you know what I'm saying,

248
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 5: not letting anybody change me. Uh, going out there and

Speaker 7: Much?

269
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: How about yourself?

270
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? You have one of the most interesting

271
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: stories of coming into the NFL. Is there any player

272
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: out there? How did that you help you? Know, like

273
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: kind of mature you as a person and just make

274
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: you mentally tough having to deal with all the twists

275
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: in terms of NCAA eligibility, which is always something that

276
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: nobody can really figure out, quite honest with you.

277
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: It really taught me how to be patient.

278
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 8: If you want something in life, sometimes you have to

279
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 8: be patient for it and continue to do the right

280
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 8: things to get there. And I feel like my situation

281
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 8: is a testament that if you continue to do the

282
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 8: right thing over and over and over, good things will happen. So,

283
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 8: you know, no matter what happened to me with my

284
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 8: eligibility situation, I never got tired of doing what's right

285
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 8: and I am where I am now.

286
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: So you weren't in the draft process, really, but I

287
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: was in the drafts Well, you was in the draft process, right,

288
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: but then you kind of in the end you had

289
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: a chance to pick where you wanted to go. Yeah,

290
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty unique. So was that in some ways a

291
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: good thing where you got the kind of pick or

292
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: you want to go.

293
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 8: It's a great thing, I mean, because I mean this

294
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 8: is a team I've always wanted to play for or

295
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 8: have the opportunity to play for.

296
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: I loved the Giants since I was at Columbia.

297
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 8: My situation coming into the drafts, I didn't know that

298
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 8: I wasn't draft eligible until a couple of weeks before

299
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 8: the draft, right, And when I was initially coming here,

300
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 8: it was just for like, you know, workout interviews and

301
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 8: all that what whatnot. So my my agent reached out

302
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 8: to the league office. In the league office found out, oh,

303
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 8: he should have been in last year's draft. It's unfortunate

304
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 8: about the eligibid situation, but hey, this is where we are.

305
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 8: So you know, I ended up signing here, you know,

306
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 8: and it's a great thing because you know, it's a

307
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 8: place I want to be.

308
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: Talk about your experience in the IVY League. You know,

309
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a ton of IVY guys get

310
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: get into the pros. You obviously ended up transferring and

311
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff to try to get through a better

312
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: chance to get in. Talk about your love with the

313
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: Giants and kind of how that grew while you were

314
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,360

323
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 8: had the roots kind of from there already, right and

324
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 8: you know I was a Giants fan since they had

325
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 8: you know, my Brash, all those guys, you know, So

326
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 8: it was an un it's unspeakable, man, having this opportunity

329
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 8: already knew, like you know, I mean, this is really

330
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 8: the closest team, you know, the Jets, the Jets, but

331
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 8: the Giants.

332
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 3: Giants are the team of New York. So it's nice

333
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: being here.

334
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: All right.

335
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: Tell tell Giant fans, what what do you think you

336
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: can bring to the field this year when you get

337
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: a chance to play.

338
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 8: I'm gona be honest with you. You know, I bran e

339
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 8: supposed to plays. I make big time plays, and that's

340
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 8: always been the name of my game since I was

341
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 8: in high school and throughout college. So when you see me,

342
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 8: can expect big plays and electra flying playing field.

343
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: You excited to try to do this new kick return

344
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: thing that's going on.

345
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 3: It's great.

346
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 8: It's gonna be a lot of big opportunities for all

347
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 8: the returners on the team, and I can't wait to

348
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 8: have the opportunity to, you know, do whatever I do.

349
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: How do you approach that? Do you approach it like

350
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: a running play?

351
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: Now?

352
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: Because the way the guys are kind of close together,

353
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: you can kind of block it up a specific way.

354
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: Is it so?

355
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 8: I feel like every return even before the rule you

356
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 8: can you can essentially say it's like a running play

357
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 8: like outside zone, inside zone, but now it's even more

358
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 8: of a fact on game plan. So it depends what

359
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 8: you're you know, especially in coordinator wants to do. So

360
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 8: some corodinators might want to run like a reverse someone

361
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 8: like inside zone, outside zone. It depends on what they

362
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 8: want to do. It's game Planterbo, this.

363
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Is great, man, appreciate your time, dude, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2: That life brings?

00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: All? Right? And now we're joined by giants, rookie running

370
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: back and former hosts of the tyrolne Tracy Show, judea Tyro,

371
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: what's going on that I'm going good.

372
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: I appreciate your having me.

373
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: Now, no problem. So I had a chance to talk

374
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: to your head coach and your position coach. That's gonna

375
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: air on our Giant Ttle podcast. Folks, go check that

376
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: out if you're listening to this right now. And they

377
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: spoke glowingly about you as a player and how you

378
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: attacked the position change from wide receiver to running back

379
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: and specifically figured out the past protection part of it,

380
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: because as you well know, you know, you think wide

381
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: receiver goes to running back and they're going to want

382
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: to embrace the physicality of past protection. How are you

383
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: able to kind of pick that up so quickly in

384
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: college with that position switch so late in your career

385
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: and just figure out the nuance is at the position?

386
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I mean just took Tom.

387
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 6: You know Tom always till you know, when when you're

388
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: doing something new, you have to put the time in

389
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 6: to reap the rewards. So you know, I will stay late,

390
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 6: coming early, understand that I have to watch more film.

391
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 2: I'm understanding you know that this is the different position

392
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: that I'm playing.

393
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 6: You can't have the same physicality as as a receiver

394
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 6: in the running back position, you have to you know,

395
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 6: kind of change your mindset for it.

396
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 7: And that's what I did.

397
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: You know, I'll go and talk to.

398
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: My running back coach and my head coach, you know

399
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 6: about you know, the position and understanding you know what

400
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 6: I have to do to make sure that I'm successful.

401
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Was part of you excited to move to

402
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: running back because you played running back in high school?

403
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I know, and I know that was a party of

404
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: your past and you were over a thousand yards and

405
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: your found your high school. You did a really good

406
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: job running the ball, and then you know, you go

407
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: to Iowa, they turn you into a receiver. Iowa has

408
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: a great program. Well on, did we know about Iowa?

409
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: They don't throw the ball?

410
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: You know.

411
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: Tolie Jones Wild do the same thing. Right, he was there,

412
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: He ended up leaving, He ends up blowing up the Purdue,

413
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: he ends up getting drafted and everything. So were you

414
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: was part of you excited to move the running back

415
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: or or did it take a lot of convincing.

416
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 6: It was a little bit of both. I will say,

417
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 6: just because it was a lot of uncertain certainty with it.

418
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 6: Just because I didn't know, you know, if they was

419
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 6: moving me because they actually thought it could be a

420
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 6: good running back, or were they moving me because they

421
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 6: just knew that they wasn't gonna throw me the ball.

422
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: They just wanted me out of the way. So I

423
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 6: had to go in, had to have some hard conversations

424
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 6: with you know, my position coach, my head coach offers,

425
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: the coordinator, like how to really you know, talk to

426
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 6: myself and understand that you know, if I'm going to

427
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 6: do this, I might as well, you know, give it

428
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 6: one hundred and ten percent. But they really reassured me that,

429
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 6: you know, they were moving me because they actually believed

430
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 6: in me. They knew the capabilities and the skills that

431
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 6: I've had and that I that I possessed. But they

432
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 6: just kind of trusted me and allowed me to go

433
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 6: out there and be myself on the football field.

434
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think we saw the production was still

435
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: the effectiveness. But I think I think you would even

436
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: say this too, when you watch yourself playing running back,

437
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: was there a rawnes stay when you watch yourself where

438
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: like you know, it was like trying to get back

439
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: on a bike and ride it the first time on

440
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the bike.

441
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 6: Nah, it was it was actually like pretty natural, just

442
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 6: because again I played it my whole life. It was

443
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 6: actually harder going from running back to receiver than it

444
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 6: was going back to running back from.

445
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 7: Just because again, like I said, I played in my

446
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 7: whole life.

447
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 6: So when you're back in that position, you're back in

448
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 6: that mode of just doing something that you've already done,

449
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: but no longer like trying to you know, do be

450
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 6: that running back. Just be yourself, you know, be what

451
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 6: you was before. Yes, yes, And and when you know

452
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 6: I got back in the back for they handed me

453
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 6: the ball. It's no different than catching the ball, you know,

454
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 6: fifteen yards down the field and running it's no different.

455
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 6: You just it's just you know, faster reaction times. You know,

456
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: you have to see different holes. But for the main part,

457
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: you know, I've always ran with physicality. I've always ran hard.

458
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: You know, I've always blocked really well, you know, even

459
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: at Iowa. So you know, when I was at Purdue

460
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 6: they started hamming about the backfield, it was it was

461
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 6: no different.

462
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, your coach, you said, the one thing they saw

463
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: from your Iowa tape is that wide receiver you block.

464
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: You block. I love your running style, though, man, you

465
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: were kind of like a Tasmanian devil, like you would

466
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: get in the open field. You lean into guys, you bounce,

467
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: you go left, you spin back to your right. Is

468
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: that always the way you kind of ran the ball

469
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: to kind of because you have such good you almost

470
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: look out of control, but I know you're not because

471
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: your contact balance is so then you always stay on

472
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: your feet.

473
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I kind of I've always something I've always

474
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 6: had in my bag was my contact balances understanding, like

475
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 6: you know, way distribution understanding, Like okay, I'm getting here

476
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 6: from over here, I got to put a little bit

477
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 6: more weight, you know, on the other side, so just

478
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 6: so I can stay up on my feet. And then

479
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 6: another thing is like I'm always trying to set set

480
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 6: the defender upright and may look like I'm out of control.

481
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: From off time my memory, I had to run.

482
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 6: The Northwestern game up the middle. I tried the defenders

483
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 6: coming from my left, so I like I kind of

484
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 6: like stuck, looked like I was tripped a little bit,

485
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 6: but like I was actually setting them up to do

486
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: a spin move off of him going.

487
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: Back to the left, so like you love to spin.

488
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was actually like adults, honestly like, it's not

489
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 6: like something that like I think about doing is honestly

490
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: just you know, something natural.

491
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: It just comes at the time of the moment.

492
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I'm with you. So you talk about the

493
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: willingness to block and pick it up. NFL is a

494
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: whole other thing with the pass protection and one thing

495
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: that and I mentioned there was a couple of the guys,

496
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: including THEO Johnson, they bring the tight ends and the

497
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: running backs and the quarterback in with the offensive line

498
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: and some of the pass protection drills during the OTA sessions. Right,

499
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: what has that been like with you working with Dames,

500
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: with Kafka, with Colmin Bursoll the offensive line coach, learning

501
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: the protection rules to making sure you are in fact

502
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: not you know, it's the physical part of it you

503
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: can do, but making sure your eyes are where they

504
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: need to be based on how the defense.

505
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 2: Is lined up.

506
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's huge, that's huge just because when

507
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 6: you're out there, you on the running backs, quarterback, the

508
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 6: O line.

509
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: Tight ends, we all have to be looking with the

510
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: same set of eyes.

511
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 6: So like there's no way for us to be successful

512
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 6: if we're all looking at different things and looking at

513
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: it different ways. So we all have to be looking

514
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 6: at things with one set of eyes and calling.

515
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: It one way.

516
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 6: Everything that has happened every single time, every single play.

517
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 6: So when we're doing this during the OTA, for me,

518
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 6: it helps a lot, just because like it's one thing

519
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 6: to look at look at it on paper, but then

520
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 6: it's another thing to go out and do it on

521
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 6: the field and then actually put action to the words

522
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 6: and say, okay, when we call this, this is how

523
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 6: it's supposed to look. This is how it's supposed to

524
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 6: be blocked. So I I like doing things hands on.

525
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 6: I like doing things through and the walks through pace

526
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 6: and understanding like the little details about it.

527
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: How does your WORKERD wide receiver help translate to running

528
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: back and healthy in the passing game?

529
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: Then, oh it helps tremendously.

530
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 6: Just so like you know, in this league, you have

531
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 6: to be able to catch the ball, Like you're not

532
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 6: going to be able to stay in the league long

533
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 6: if you're not you know, a good pass catcher out

534
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 6: of the backfield. But I think the Giants understand this

535
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 6: as well. You're not gonna run routes, you know, from

536
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 6: the slot and run routes from outside.

537
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: The X ray Z.

538
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 6: You know, I can my brain is to a point

539
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 6: where you know, you can tell me to do things

540
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 6: from a different position, I will remember it. I'm you know,

541
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 6: I'm kind of like I'm in there their box of

542
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 6: you know, a person who can just do a lot

543
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 6: of different things. So you know, it helps me lot

544
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 6: right now, you know where I'm at.

545
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: That's awesome. When you take a look at special teams,

546
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: I see your body type and your athleticism and it

547
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: just screams to me, kick off returner, especially with the news,

548
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: and it's something that you did well in college as well.

549
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Is that something that you're excited to get.

550
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: A crack and listen.

551
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 6: I'm I'm in coach gob ear every day every day

552
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 6: try to tell let me let me kick off, let

553
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: me kick off turn, and we do it. You know,

554
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 6: we're doing a pride and stuff like that. So like,

555
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm doing good. I'm getting good reps, and

556
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 6: it's over time, you know, over time. You know, I'm

557
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 6: a rookie, so I'm still you know, making sure that

558
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 6: I'm doing every single thing the right way, making sure

559
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 6: that I'm putting good stuff on film. You know, for

560
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 6: the coach to be like, okay, this is why we

561
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 6: should put them back there instead of me just saying

562
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: put me back there. But yeah, I'm for to say

563
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 6: at least I'm super excited about this, about the rule

564
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 6: and about the opportunity ahead of me.

565
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: What do you think about the new world? Do you

566
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: think that's advantage returner, advantage coverage teams? How do you

567
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: think that's going to impact the play in general?

568
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 6: I would say it's an advantage football. To be honest,

569
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: I agree. I love it because like it's it's something

570
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 6: that's going to bring, you know, life back to the

571
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 6: kickoff return.

572
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 7: You know when you're looking at it, you know for

573
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 7: the past you know two years, all the.

574
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 6: The kickers they're literally kicking it through the end zone,

575
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 6: so there's no return, there's no excitement, no nothing. So

576
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: now you have the opportunity to put good stuff on

577
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 6: film from kickoff returner, from you know, the blockers from

578
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 6: the kickoff team, Like, everyone has the opportunity to put

579
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 6: good stuff on film, even.

580
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: The kicker, you know, your placement, kicker kickoff placement.

581
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 6: So like when you're just kicking the ball through the uprights,

582
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 6: you know, there's no opportunity to put things on film.

583
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: You know, from a player standpoint.

584
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: The more you can see the best athletes of the

585
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: ball in their hands, the better I think. All but

586
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: so I'm with you one hundred percent. All right, I

587
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: know you're focused on football. This is not something you're

588
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: doing now. But tell the folks about the Tyrone Tracy Show.
