11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: thing I want to hit you with. Think about this

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: for just a second, if you can put it into perspective.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: You come to the Giants as a fourth round pick

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: in two thousand five. Some people are saying, well, he

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: should be a full back. Some people say he should

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: be a tight end. You were always of the mentality

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: to be a running back the Giants at Tiki Barber here,

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: coming off two spectacular seasons before you wind up taking

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: over the job. The circumstances with the Giants, Brandon, it

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: turned out to be really good because they didn't make

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: you do something that that you didn't want to do exactly,

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, and I got drafted about the Giants. I

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: mean I didn't even step like. I didn't even think

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: that being a position to be starting for the Giants

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: in my third year, you know, and I thought I

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: was to be, to be honest, I didn't look for

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: the greatness that I had in my career, to be honest,

28
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: which I only looked at coming in forking, I'm fulfilling

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: the dream and um, you know, and playing football in

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, I never went to trying to

31
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: take anyone's job. I only gonna learn and didn't get better,

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: you know. And I know Tiki was one of the

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: top tives in the league. In the league at the time,

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: you got a ten thousand rushing herds and he came out,

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, before we would telling you. I think he

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: had eighteen hundred yards uh the season, uh his last season.

37
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not mistaken, Um, you know, I just wanted

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: to be a part of something. The Giants drafted men.

39
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: It was it was it was a hundred tight ends

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: out there was a hundred guys have played defensive in

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: It was guys out there that played for back. I

42
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: don't know why they will try to bring a guy

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: drafted guy. I mean I never didn't watch and be

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: doing such you know, such stupid things. Anyway, the guy

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: in playing of position on his life and you draft

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: him at the most critical time in his life and

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: trying to change his position and something he's never played,

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: so he's to be able to help the team get better.

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Giants might have, you know,

50
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: changed my would have changed my position, I would have

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: been been on the chopping block, being being in and

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: out of situation, you know, getting getting you know, getting cut,

53
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: being picked up, getting cut and picked up because I'm

54
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: playing something I've never played before and trying to get

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: better at it, you know, as a rookie is just

56
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: not the best thing. So having the opportunity to come

57
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: to the Giants and play running back, they do what

58
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: they wanted and that's what they drafted and that's what

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: I gave them. In some positions, especially quarterback, there's a

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: debate about a guy playing right away or should he

61
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: be allowed to sit for a little bit and kind

62
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: of wean himself in and learn from the veteran ahead

63
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: of him. So you come in as a as a

64
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: fourth rounder at a soulo in Illinois and you're watching

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: Tiki and you're kind of being worked in slowly. Was

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: that a benefit for you before you actually had to

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: take over the lead role? That was a beneficial for

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: me because I wasn't ready to go on and protect Eli.

69
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: You know who I was blocking on some of those

70
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: blitzes in my rookie year. You know, I got yere,

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, I learned to pick up the blitzes and

72
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: knowing you know, for a certain contests in the passing

73
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: game when went in second also open a certain winters

74
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: for circle routs and I received it. Um, that's only

75
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: team the time. I didn't know that mother year, you know,

76
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: on my I didn't know that. His rookie year, we

77
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: worked at it. He got better the third down guy

78
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: for most of it. Uh you know, it was it was,

79
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it was. It's definitely beneficial, I think, you know, and

80
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: that's why I think what the Giants is doing right

81
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: now with Daniel Jones is probably the smartest thing that

82
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: any any franchise could you know, could have done with

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: your quarterback to jumping out right away in Eli. He

84
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: didn't have the time. I think Daniel was going to

85
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: have a sit behind somebody. You know he went in

86
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: that rookie year. I think what they're doing Dan Jones going,

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, Eli sword in his career for years being

88
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: playing you know, as far as years played. I think

89
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: that's the smartest thing. I think Daniel is gonna step

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: in and be able to you know, and be able

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: to feel that role just like I did when you know,

92
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: when that tiki finally last. Well, Brandon, I want to

93
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: take you through a couple of key games, some key

94
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: moments in your career and if you can give me

95
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: some thoughts, either background thoughts or how you reflect on

96
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: them and what they mean to you. In your first

97
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: year is a started with the Giants October seventh, You

98
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: run for your first one hundred yard game. It's against

99
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: the Jets, and you know that turns out to be

100
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: in my mind, that was the first breakout game where

101
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: you had the hundred yards and showed everybody that hey,

102
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: this ball can be on my shoulders. Did did you

103
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: feel the same way at that time? Was that a

104
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: significant moment do you think in your early career? Yeah,

105
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: super significant moment for myself. You know, my first yes

106
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: start and I took that leave, not took Dallas and

107
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: I took to get to the MCF, I had to

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: sit out two weeks to or three weeks maybe it was,

109
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: and I had to come back. I came back against

110
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: the Jet and uh it was a good game, you know.

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I think that wasn't very defined a moment for me

112
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: and and what I ended up doing for the Giants, Uh,

113
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think shawing, you know, showing people that yes,

114
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I can't take it. You know. Um, I wasn't asked,

115
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot of things though. I wasn't asked

116
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: to do as much as he did, you know. And

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: I so before I had, Derek Water had a mind,

118
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I had helped you know, you know, you know, Tiki

119
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: was pretty much in that thing by you know, by himself.

120
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: So I felt like us, for anyone of us to

121
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: get a hundred yards, specially bec there's a lead, were

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: big carriage. Well, I can go later on into that

123
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: season after your five one hundred yard games. This is

124
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: a giant Super Bowl season, but but the postseason involved

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: some tremendous efforts. I want to take you to that

126
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: win against Dallas January. You're one yard touchdown run in

127
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter that turned out to be the SIEI

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: points in that game and emphatic touchdown that Brandon, I

129
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: think everybody will always remember. I'm sure it's a tremendous

130
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: memory for you as well. Oh absolutely absolutely going to

131
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: Dallas in that playoff er and it's going that go

132
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: ahead touchdown. Uh, that was big, That was huge. You know,

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, we had a lot of momentum after coming

134
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: out to winning Tampa. I think you know, I think

135
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: you know that was a run for me or I

136
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: ain't datas so much to be the touchdown and put

137
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: them out of the playoffs was awesome. Well, let's go

138
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: now to that Green Bay game, the deep freeze and

139
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: lambeau Field, thee to twenty overtime victory. And what do

140
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: the Giants do coming out to open that game. They

141
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: give the ball to one Brandon Jacobs and he plows

142
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: over Charles Woodson on a five yard game that may

143
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: be the most powerful five yard game in the history

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. You know, Charles has said

145
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: after that time Brandon and his retire a speech to

146
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: the to the folks and in the media that one

147
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: of his biggest regrets is that he tried to go

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: after the ball and tried to tackle you high. Not

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: a smart move. Not a smart move for Charles. However,

150
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: Charles Wishing was one of the greatest competitors to ever

151
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: step foot on the NFL field, no question about it. Um,

152
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: great competitor, true champion. You know, I can only say

153
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: positive things about Charles because when he got the balls

154
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: and the courage to take me and a lot of

155
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: guys go to the legs. Um, I don't know. I

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: think for that run though, I'm wanted to try to

157
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: make a statement to everyone in the stadium. And you know,

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: their fans are fans, their team, our team, their coaches

159
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: are coaches. I want to make a statement to every

160
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: one of those people, every one of those people to

161
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: give my team some confidence and and and and some energy,

162
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: my coaches confidence and energy. And I want to take

163
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: the world out of their team and their coaches stuff

164
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: and their fans, you know. And to be honest with you,

165
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: I probably could ended up scoring a touchdown on that

166
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: specific play because the way they had it, safety took

167
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver on, you know, just to do with

168
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: the lot I was going up to block the safety.

169
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: Charles came down and said the board, now he knows

170
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: me nine times like I tell I'm gonna stick my

171
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: head in that, But Charles was a percent committed on

172
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: coming in. All that to do is put my foot

173
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: in the ground and get to the house side of Charles.

174
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: There's nobody else out there. But I chose to run

175
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: him over instead, you know, and that and that I

176
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: think that probably sparked out to him a little bit

177
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: more than me scoring you know me, you know me

178
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: getting twenty and twenty yards on the run. So in retrospect,

179
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: you're you're happy that you took him on head on

180
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: head and and you and you plowed him over like

181
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: like you did. Oh, absolutely absolutely, I thought, I don't,

182
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't regret that one bit. Alright. So

183
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: let's go to the Super Bowl, the historic seventeen fourteen

184
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: win over New England on February three, two eight the

185
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: game and Arizona. And there are two plays, Brandon that

186
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: that will always stick in my mind when I think

187
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: about your name, of course, the fourth and one from

188
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: the Giants thirty seven with one forty to go. And

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: I will never forget how Richie cybrid always said to me,

190
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: my goodness, I wound up tripping Brandon as he tried

191
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: to get to the line of scrimmage to get that

192
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: fourth down. I'm just glad that he got it. So

193
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: so tell me, if you can take me into the huddle,

194
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: you get the play call from Eli, and you know

195
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: you've got to get this first down to keep the

196
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: season alive. Uh. Well, you know they they came in

197
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: the huddle. You know, I don't even think that was

198
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: the original play call had Uh But I told coach confident, like,

199
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: let me get it. You know, I went coach. Coach

200
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: was giving him something else. I'm like, Coach, let me

201
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: get it. So I went to the Uh. I went

202
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: none unless I got the opportunity. And I told I

203
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: told my team and like, God, don't worry. Um, this

204
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: is a big moment. Got it. I got it. I

205
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: got it. I got it. I got it. Actually, there

206
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: would have been a much bigger run because the hole

207
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: was open or Richie tripped me and I and I

208
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: have to stumble. And the bar just crossed the plane.

209
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean it just crossed the first down, you know.

210
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: But man, I had a oppatornity to still be running.

211
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: It was that open. I mean, they're dead solddn't there

212
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: and the hole was open. I just I just got

213
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: tripped up by Richie. Well, fortunately for the Giants, life continues.

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: They go down the field and with thirty nine seconds

215
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: to go, on the first down from the Patriots thirteen

216
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: Plexico Burrows catches a touchdown pass that wins the Super

217
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Bowl Championship. But what many people may not see if

218
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: they don't look at the film carefully, is that you're

219
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: in the backfield with Elie on his left hip and

220
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: wind up picking up the blitzer from the other side

221
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: that had been Rodney Harrison on the safety blitz. If

222
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: you could take me through that play, Brandon, I'd love

223
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: to know exactly what it is that you saw and

224
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: what your responsibility was because you give Eli an extra

225
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: half a second to get rid of that ball. Well,

226
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: what happened was they called I think it was Eddie

227
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: one key. I think it was uh it was I

228
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: think it was Eddie Key. We called the kids. It's

229
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: it is to protected, you know, from the inside out.

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: So what happens is they come out. They came out

231
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: the sub person and I think it might have been

232
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: a full one six or something like that. But one

233
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: of the with with with uh with two dvs playing

234
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: the linebacker level, right, ELI makes the mike call. You know,

235
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: he makes the mike call. I think he made my

236
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: will at the time, the mike, so that that takes

237
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: away that uh, that takes away that that takes me

238
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: off of any scan for anybody in the inside, because Eli,

239
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: you know on any eighties sixty protection, I have the

240
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: willing of the weak side force. Right, So ADI keys

241
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: saying it's no difference. But ELI made my will the

242
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: mike which made that line responsible for that new linebacker.

243
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: All right, you gotta say, if you walked up on

244
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: the outside, which was Harrison, he walked up on the outside,

245
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: that made him since deaths, since my will was the

246
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: might that made the next linebacker in the salmon, the

247
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: next UH guy on the outside turns into the the

248
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: strong safety. The lineman have the inside six. The lineman

249
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: have the inside six. So that's the for d lineman,

250
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the might and the sam which puts my my radar

251
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: went up to that safety blitz on the outside right away.

252
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be the new fool? So I knew, I

253
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: knew what I was gone. So they came in in UH,

254
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: and I saw him coming down, and I know, I

255
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: know I had to get across the bout to pick

256
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: up the blitz. And the good news for you, Brandon

257
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: is that you against Rodney Harrison, You're gonna win that

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: seven times out of seven and twice on Sunday, no

259
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: question about it. There's no question against any dB out there.

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: So of course Plexico catches the touchdown and the Giants

261
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl Championship. And then the following year

262
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand eight, it's the the debut really of

263
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: the earth Wind and Fire combination when you and Derek

264
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: Warden and Mod Bradshaw. Uh. The way I understand the story,

265
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: and I'd like you to confirm with the bucket for me,

266
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: is that in Week two against the Rams, you guys

267
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: get that running game going. And I'm told that it

268
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: was Justin Tuck who gave you guys the nickname of

269
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: earth Wind and Fire. True or not true? Uh? Justin? Well, yeah, yeah,

270
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: Justin did he? Yeah? Yeah, he definitely said, Uh, that's

271
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: what our name should be as a group. So yeah,

272
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: that's that, that's where that came from. And did you

273
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: guys enjoy that and embrace it right away? The media

274
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: certainly jumped out, and I'll tell you that it was

275
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: fun man, Man, we had a blast. We had a

276
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: blast together. Um, we had a real blast together. Man.

277
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: I enjoyed my running mates. Man, we we had when

278
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: we got better. We taught each other home lot. You know,

279
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: it never was any bigger in the arguing about who

280
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: was that, who deserves it? Almost the most money, who

281
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: deserved you know, the most carries him? And we just

282
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: said we had a great coach in Gerald Ingram who

283
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: kind of kept it real with us about everything, and

284
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, and we respect him and each other. Man,

285
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't ask any better guys to have his running mates. Well,

286
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to take you now fast forward a little

287
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: bit two thousand twelve, a year with the forty niners.

288
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: But then you come back to the Giants and Brandon.

289
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: You know this because I talked to you on the

290
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: field after the game. It was a Thursday night national

291
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: televised game in Chicago. Your your hundred yard effort with

292
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns against the Bears, where you pounded it

293
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: out and pounded it out. Your knee was giving you trouble.

294
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: But I truly thought that if I were to tell

295
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: people about what Brandon Jacobs was like as a running back,

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: that's probably one of the tapes. I would want them

297
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: to see how much do you recall about that game

298
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: and how important was it for you to have that

299
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: one terrific moment on national television. Man, it was great,

300
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, because first and I thought I was just

301
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: coming back to be honest, I was coming back to

302
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: the to the Giants to retire as a Giant. But

303
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: I didn't want to sign a one day contract. I

304
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: wanted to play. I felt like I still had something

305
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: to tank. But after that season, it was kind of,

306
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, like that took me out. I had a

307
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: banged up need that game and pull hamstring. That's on

308
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: the same leg, I think. And I went out there

309
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: and man, and I put it online. I played the

00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I think I think, uh David was hurt.

319
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: like you know, you know, like they would have been

320
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: with just Mike in there being a rookie and not

321
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: really really being ready for that that that that type

322
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: of stuff. So you know, I played through it, man,

324
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: great moment, A great, great moment. Well, I got one

325
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,160

326
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: with you actually to your second Super Bowl ring. I

327
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,600

328
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: in tears following that game because you told me how

329
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: important it was for you to get that second ring.

330
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: For those folks who may not have remembered that, could

331
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: you kind of reflect on it what it meant to

332
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: you to get that second that second piece of jewelry.

333
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: It meant a lot, man, because at the time, you know,

334
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to have something, you know,

335
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to be able to have that second ring.

336
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: You know that first one was great, and first one

337
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: was the best one out to both, but having opportunity

338
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: to win that second, man, was was you know. It

00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: often unless you're the Patriots, But um, you know I

341
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: needed it. I needed that for myself. You know, you know,

342
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: I just I want to have, you know, to to

343
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: be amongst some of the greatest with with two rings.

344

00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: rings people have, there's only one guy that can have

349
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: a franchise record. And Brandon, this is such a historic franchise,

350
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. For you to have the old

351
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: time rushing touchdown record in Giants history is pretty darnwell special.

352
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: And to do it against the Dallas Cowboys when you

353
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: broke the record, that's pretty cool too. Do do you

354
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: ever reflect on that knowing that that you've got a

355
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: record in Giants history? That's that's pretty special. Oh No,

356
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: that's definitely special. That's something I hang my hat on. Um. Yeah,

357
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's something I tell my little you know,

358
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: my young football players I work with, and my high

359
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: school guys and some of the college guys. You know,

360
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: it's great to be able to have that record and

361
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: be able to leave my mark as a China. I

362
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: don't know how long it's gonna last for safe on. Uh,

363
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just you know, I got, I got,

364
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: I got, I got, you know, I got question some

365
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: time until until he gets there. The well, you got

366
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: sixty career rushing touchdowns as a Giant, and you broke

367
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: Tiki's record. His was fifty five. Does he ever give

368
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: you a little bit of a business for for taking

369
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: that away from him? No? No, don't you know. I

370
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: guess he knew it was coming. You got those little

371
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: short tests done down, That's what you got, because you

372
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: know they used to get mad at me, him and

373
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the minding to all of them. They used to get

374
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: caught at the one. I don't get caught at the

375
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: one he touched down. It's down long because they're not

376
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: gonna stop me one yard. Well, but before we let

377
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: you go, you mentioned, say Kwan Barkley and what Gettleman

378
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: has done now with this Giant's team. Clearly they're talking

379
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: about it revolving around Barkley and revolving around and much

380
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: improved offensive line. As you see what the Giants have

381
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: done under Dave Gettleman these last couple of years. You

382
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: were alluded to it earlier during the conversation. I'd like

383
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts as to how you think the

384
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Giants are built now, I got a feeling would be

385
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: the kind of team you'd like to play for. Absolutely.

386
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: I had a twenty minute conversation whim with Dave in

387
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: the U in the lunch room a couple of weeks

388
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: ago and told him, you know how much I appreciate

389
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: him coming back as GM because he's a giant, no

390
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: question about it. Um, you know, just talked about you know,

391
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I support his decisions that he made. You know, Uh,

392
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: he's talking about doing a lot of stuff. So you know,

393
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: with Skan being a the focal point of the offense

394
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: and being as as strong as a runner as he

395
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: is and even better than to receive in the passing game,

396
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: I think us as long as gonna be uh. I

397
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a hell of a lot whenever lot,

398
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna be able to do some things

399
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: for us. And I think we're building that offensive line

400
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: up like they've done. You know, Um, I think it

401
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: is good. I think we've got some good ride receivers

402
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: man with Sterling Sheppard being the number one guy. I

403
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: love Chef Man. Chef's hard work. He goes out there,

404
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: he he respects the game, and he respects his teammates.

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: He respects the grind, he respects everything that comes with

406
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: being great, great character, and the kid and a guy

407
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: you know like that, and I'm looking forward to him

408
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: what they would do this year. I'm looking forward to

409
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: seeing what the officerlone does. Um, I'm looking forward to

410
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: see what Eli does. The defense should be better this year.

411
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: It took some hits as far as the off season

412
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: is concerned, but you know, like I tell people all

413
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: the time, they have too much money tied upans and

414
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: and two or three guys, so they had to do

415
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: what they did to make some room to be able

416
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: to get a better football team overall and not have

417
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: super you know, crazy superstars and all this other stuff.

418
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: So you know, I think it was it was worth doing.

419
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: And you know, uh, I'm just waiting to see. Man.

420
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: They drafted Daniel Jones Sacks. Overall, people didn't like that.

421
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: I like that pick. I like Daniel. I like the

422
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: things he's done. He got a strong on. The kid

423
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: is athletic, he can move and you or would need to. Um,

424
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, I made myself. I think the Giants done

425
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: a great job this offseason. We're picking up town. You know,

426
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to get there to meet the rookies.

427
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: Man one one thing, I'm a cad and a rookie

428
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: classes when I had a chance to talk to him

429
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: as a team meeting room. The character, the character and

430
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the class that they carry those guys of Giants, no

431
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: question about it. So I think that's gonna be great

432
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: for fire franchise, you know, the next couple of years.

433
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: I'd be very remiss if I didn't ask you, as

434
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: an emotional, inspirational, vocal and character leader of this team,

435
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: when you were with the Giants and one two super

436
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Bowl championships, what would you tell say Kwan Barkley, since

437
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: this is now kind of going to be his team,

438
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: how he needs to be the next leader in whatever

439
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: way he needs to be to bring the Giants back

440
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl championship status. I think say Kuan has

441
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: a personality. You know, being being a leader is in

442
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: being a vocal leader. I shouldn't say a leader being

443
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: a vote of a vocal leader and passionate vocal leader,

444
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: wearing your feelings on your sleeves and your passion on

445
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: your sleeves, and people can see how you're failing you.

446
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: You have to have that personality and how everybody had

447
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: that personality. So what I would what I would tell

448
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: safe online man, and just you know, speak up when

449
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: you see something going wrong and you want to express

450
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: yourself to the coaches or you want to let another

451
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: teammate know, you know you support him, I you know,

452
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: encourage them, you know, do do the best you can

453
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: is to be a great teammate. And that's and that's

454
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: the type of stuff to help you in. I never yet,

455
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: well it's recently. You know. I went up to talk

456
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 1: to the rookies and I mean then I ain't know

457
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: David vote now for the Times, so you know, I

458
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: had me going there and talk to the rookies, you know,

459
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,840
