1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the Giants touchdown past

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: second quarter and John Jones decision to try to kind

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: of high point it and knock the ball out of

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: the air. I'm curious from the coaching perspective. From coaching points,

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: are there right times to try and make a play

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: like that with your protection over the top? In other words,

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: do you do you ask the defensive back to try

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: to keep in mind what's behind him in terms of

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: protection in case, you know, the defender falls down and

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: the receiver gets a wide open field to run. No,

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: we're trying to cover the receiver and when he tries

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: to catch up all the youth technique. John did a

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: pretty good job of that. I got his hands on

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: the ball, just popped up in the air and went

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: to take so it was no I thought. I thought

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: he played the ball. Well, Um, it's the National Football

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: League and there's good throw and they got a favorable

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 1: bounce on it. We could have, certainly, you know, played

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: it better and done some other things better. But man,

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: but John was in a good position. He did what

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: he was coaching to do. And if I could follow

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: up Bill the concept of ben but don't break, Devin said,

23
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: pretty much that that doesn't exist among defenders, especially in

24
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: the secondary. Um, why do you think your team is

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: so good at, you know, embracing being aggressive and going

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: after the ball like John Jones did even though it

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't work out. We have aggressive players and they again

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: that's what our philosophy is and they try to play

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: that way. They've done a great job of it. We

30
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: had a couple other balls that came out in the

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: game yesterday that I think the runner was down. Um.

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there were fumbles and one on went

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: out of balance, it wouldn't mattered anyway. But you know,

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: we had several balls out, um, which again is a

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: good example of you know, our our defenders being aggressive

36
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: and packing the ball. So you know, we didn't get

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: all of them, and um, I said, a couple of them,

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I think the runner was down. But the fact that

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: we were on the ball trying to get it out

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: was you know positive thing. Great? Thanks, Bill, Yeah, you're welcome.

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: Next question, Mike Greece fall by Evan was our Bill?

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: What what did you see on the block punt? Um?

43
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Was it as simple as Brandon just with a strong

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: rush or was there more to that? Well, it was

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: an overload rush and and um, looks like the Giants

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: we're in there kind of zone protection on that and

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: just trying to take up space and not really allow

48
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: any gaps for the defenders to get through. And Brandon

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: had a great get off and just you know, drove

50
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: stupor back and gone close enough to hit hit the punter.

51
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it was a good, really good

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: play by Brandon, well executed to play by Brandon in

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: terms of getting off on the ball. It's kind of

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: similar to the high power play from Chicago last year

55
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: where um, you know, high knock knock the blocker over

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: and was able to come clean. But sort of the

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: same idea, you know, the pun protection when you get ground,

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: if you don't take a stand, then you know the

59
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: rushers can run you right back into the hunter. So yeah,

60
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: and then just the way the game played out, I

61
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: know that long drive in the third quarter didn't result

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: in any points, but when you look at the way

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: the game played out, sort of what you guys were

64
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: dealing with offensively personnel wise, how significant do you think

65
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: that drive was taken over with twelve twelve on the clock.

66
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: And then uh, you know, basically when they got the

67
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: ball back. I think it was like two forty seven left. Yeah,

68
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: well again that's the offensive goal is to move the

69
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: ball and score points. That's why they go out there,

70
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: so we move the ball. Um. It was a good drive. Unfortunately,

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: we didn't you know, finish with any points. So obviously

72
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: there's some things we could do better to you know,

73
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: have a good final result. But uma a lot of

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: positive things in that drive. Thank you. Next next question,

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: everyone was armed. Hey coach, last night, Devin mentioned that

76
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: you guys are able to craft a lot of things

77
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: in the secondary defensively around Stefan Gilmore. What is it

78
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: from a coaching standpoint just having a shutdown corner like Steph.

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: How does that help you guys be able to do

80
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: different things in the secondary? Well, there there are things

81
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: that you know, I think there are things that come

82
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: up schematically throughout the course of the game that our

83
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: players do a very good job of recognizing the situation

84
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: and trying to take advantage. Depend on what we have

85
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: called to try to take advantage of the situation, and

86
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Devin and drawn high power van Noy Collins. Evently those

87
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: guys are all kind of a part of that. Depend

88
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: on what type of play it is, and where they're

89
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: located and so forth. So we have different different things

90
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: that we can do, and really comes down to the

91
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: players understanding those situations, making good decisions, and having good

92
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: communication so we can execute them. And we had several

93
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: of those last night. Certainly corners Gilmore and Jason John Jones,

94
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Jasey are a big part of that in terms of

95
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: the overall execution, and you know they they give the

96
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: corners confidence and flexibility to utilize some of those calls. Thanks,

97
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: you're welcome. On Okay, we'll go back to Mikela by

98
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: Mike Grief. Bill, I wanted to ask you about the

99
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: running style James White and especially when he catches the

100
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: short passes and is able to head up field, it

101
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: almost seems like he gets positive yards and very rarely

102
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: gets lost, gets tackled for a loss. I'm curious from

103
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: your perspective, what is it about his running style that

104
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: um is always going forward and not m you know,

105
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: taking a loss when he's got the ball in his hands. Well,

106
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: James has a good quickness, UM, he has the pad level.

107
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: He drops his pad as well, so that sometimes defenders

108
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: don't get a solid hit on him. Um, and he's

109
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: got a good balance and so he can you know,

110
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: take some hits and you know, gain positive yardage. So

111
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: I think he's he's a hard guy to tackle. Um.

112
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: He's deceptive, but he makes great decisions and he gets

113
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: picks the ball afield and gets positive yards. You rarely

114
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: see him lose chartage. He'll take the best available washing

115
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: and make the most of it. So really good decision

116
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: maker and get fundamentally a good player, good, good lower

117
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: body strength, good quickness, good ball security to have all.

118
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, take care. We'll take two final questions here

119
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: We'll go UM, Mike Reason and Ryan Hannibal. Thanks Bill.

120
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm I guess one of the benefits of playing Thursday

121
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: night is if you win, is getting the weekend after

122
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: it maybe cleared on the schedule. I'm curious how important

123
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: it is for players and maybe even coaches. It sounds

124
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: like you're fighting something yourself to maybe just get away

125
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: and rest a little bit. Um at this point in

126
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: the calendar. I agree with that, Mike. Um. Thursday night

127
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: games tough, quick turnaround reparations tough. Um. You know, the

128
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: physical rebound off of Sunday game is tough, and we

129
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: traveled from Washington, they traveled here for the game, So

130
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, when you add all that up, it's a

131
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, it's a challenge, but you're right there is

132
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: there's the other end of it. And so now you know,

133
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: we're glad we have a few extra days here to

134
00:08:50,920 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: kind of rest, recover and evaluate where we're at here

135
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: and you know, be ready to move forward, you know

136
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: for the Jets, which comes on a long week. So

137
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: when you add them all together, it's, you know, was

138
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: other than a buy, it's about as much much time

139
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: as you're gonna get there in the NFL season. So

140
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: we'll try to take advantage of that and you know,

141
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: utilize whatever time we have, which is what we always

142
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: try to do, utilize it efficiently. So there's certainly a

143
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: lot of things we need to work on. There's certainly

144
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things that we can evaluate. We have

145
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: six games and these guys have been playing a lot

146
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: of football. Really, it's been pretty NonStop for the last

147
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: twelve weeks, going back to the start of training camp.

148
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Inch a lot and we grind all the way through camp,

149
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: crying through six regular season games. No, it's tough, but

150
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: now it's an opportunity to get a little little window,

151
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: and so we'll try to take advantage of that and

152
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: and be ready to go get the jets. The last

153
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: question will be Ryan Hannibal. Well, what did you see

154
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: from Kobe and Gunner last light in their first extended

155
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: time and what have they been doing behind the scenes
