1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Can you take us through from your perspective, how all

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: of this started in terms of talks with the giants,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: re talks with the giants, and how it got to

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: this point.

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bunch of back and forth from

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 2: an agent and to them, and then later on down

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: I think this past week and a half being able

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: to talk to Joe on the phone, talk to Dave's

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: and that's pretty much how it ended up going up

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: starting and asked me to come out here.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 3: I got on the flight and you know, handle some business.

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: I would anticipate if you were you know, you're young

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: to me, believe me, if you were a much younger player,

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: maybe it would be a little more.

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 4: Of a process.

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: But do you feel like you can jump right in

17
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in your mouth, but

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, can you just get right in there? Even

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: with the new defense and everything else.

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: I think, you know, being able to know Shane and

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: some of the things that he did when I was

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: in Tennessee with him, understanding some of the verb which

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: may have changed, but easy for me to wire my

24
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: mind onto how to compartmentalize what these defenses may be

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: in some of the calls. So I think that's helpful.

26
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: And then being able to stay in shape that I

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: have been in but then getting here getting ramped up

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: to get ready to go play. I know it's gonna

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: be a different, so just trying to see where I

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: am at. Whereas when I put these paths on, you know,

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: I've been out there and just shorts and cleats, running

32
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: around doing what I've been doing, you know, to stay ready.

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: So putting the paths on with a helmet, it's gonna

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: be a little different. But excited for the opportunity.

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: I have many more for you.

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 5: I will see.

37
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: To the other reporters, welcome back, appreciate it.

38
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 6: Ryan do lady a door?

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back?

40
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: That's crazy. I'm looking at your name tag right here.

41
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: This your plot? That's crazy. What's happening? What's up?

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: Can you tell us? Did you think this door was

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: closed at some point? Did you think my next team

44
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: isn't going to be the Giants at some point this offseason? Ah?

45
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: No, I didn't think the door was closed. No, I

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: didn't think that.

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: What do you When I saw you at the Super Bowl,

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: you said it was kind of like a break period

49
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 4: for you guys, like you were looking at other teams

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: they were gonna look at other corners. Were there any

51
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: like hurt feelings on either side? You guys had to

52
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: get by, like hey why didn't you want me in March?

53
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 4: Or hey why didn't you want to us as a

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: team in March? Like any any kind of stuff you

55
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: had to get through to get to this point.

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: No, no anems, no feelings, no ill intentions on I

57
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: think on my end. And then when I came in

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: and seeing everybody, it was it was like being out

59
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: of family reunion, you know, like damn, I ain't seeing

60
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: the minute like where you been, how you've been, what

61
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: you've been up to.

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: So I didn't have any vibes of anything being bad.

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: When I you know, hit me up or they called

64
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: me or text me, it wasn't like I didn't want

65
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: to reach out or I didn't want to pick up

66
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: the phone. I mean, I've been knowing them for two years.

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: We didn't have relationships and talked before. Understand that things

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: is a business, and I don't never want to put

69
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: business with anything personal. That's just how life goes. And

70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: you know, in tune with who I am as a

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: person and with my faith. So I wasn't really worried

72
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: about too much and knew when something was right, it.

73
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: Would be right and it would happen. And you know,

74
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: here I am.

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: You mentioned what you were doing?

76
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: What were you doing?

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: Dor like, did you have a personal trainer where you're

78
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: on your local football field? What were you doing these

79
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: last five months?

80
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: I really was back with my old high school track

81
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: coach who does the lifting and speed work with me

82
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: that we've been doing, and then.

83
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: Doing position work frequently.

84
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: So for me, I think just you know, having a

85
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: sess schedule, doing what I know, when my coaches know

86
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: that I that I'm used to working out wise, getting

87
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: a position work in that I need to get in.

88
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: I think one of the other cool things is, like

89
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Kim was saying, as a vet or someone that's older,

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: knowing what I need and knowing what its to be

91
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: ready and stay in shape, understanding my body, being able

92
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: to take care of my body and do the right thing.

93
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: So I think that whole process for me was just that.

94
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: So no personal training, just back with everybody that I've

95
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: been with from when I moved out to California.

96
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: So it was a good.

97
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: Uh, it was good to always see them, you know,

98
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: I get to work out flashback on memories craigs for

99
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: new ones. So I was actually enjoying this lost season.

100
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: Thank you, oh short.

101
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Or how are you?

102
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm doing well? How you doing good? Good?

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Nice to see you back.

104
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: I appreciate it as a veteran.

105
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Right, I mean they didn't bring you in as a coach.

106
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: They brought you in as a player. But you are

107
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: a veteran in the room now, right. It's pretty young obviously, you.

108
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 7: Know, uh, the Kidni's not there anymore, so that the

109
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 7: defensive back, you know, the safeties are young.

110
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: What what can a veteran do to a very young

111
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: group that can help?

112
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: You know, It's very cliche, but pretty much Lee by example.

113
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: I mean you can go out there and say a

114
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: lot of different things and this and that. Obviously they

115
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: were retained to it from listening, but actually being able

116
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: to see it and seeing how you work, seeing how

117
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: you go about your business. I think just that aspect

118
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: and letting.

119
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: Them be them.

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to come here and try to change,

121
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: you know what. They already know what they're already do.

122
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: You know, for my coaches to tell me just say towns,

123
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, do what got you here? Him and big

124
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: lebows wherever it is I got you just keep doing

125
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: that and I'm just gonna be here along the way

126
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 2: to help any way possible.

127
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's you know, process for me.

128
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: And one thing, how do you assess the way you

129
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: played last year?

130
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

131
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 7: You were you were a guy, you know you played

132
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 7: last year and then you were you know, free agent,

133
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 7: and you know, did you have a lot of interest

134
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 7: around the league?

135
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: But what do you think your.

136
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: Film last year showed?

137
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: I had some interests around the league. I don't think

138
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: I played to my best, so I'm always fatiguing myself.

139
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I had interests around the league, but I

140
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: didn't play to my best.

141
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: Why do you think that was the case?

142
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

143
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: Man, if I could tell you, I would, you know

144
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: what I mean? If I can tell you who I wasn't,

145
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't think the play would have been how it was,

146
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: so I really couldn't tell you what I was.

147
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 5: Already We'll go to Patty, Hey, Dory, how are you?

148
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: I'm doing well? Are you doing good? Good to see

149
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: you dad, just man likewise, good to see you.

150
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Thank you.

151
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 4: George.

152
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: I have two quick ones for you, based on the

153
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: training that you have done up until this point. How

154
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: ready would you say you are to jump in there

155
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: this week or do you need to you know, take

156
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: care of the playbook? I mean you did. You were

157
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, and I know she wasn't the DC back then,

158
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm sure there were some of the

159
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: philosophies were the same when you were down there.

160
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think mentally, I think obviously physically, I've

161
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: been doing what I I need to do to stay

162
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: in shape, and I know football shape is gonna be

163
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: a lot different from what I've been doing. But I

164
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: always kept my mind set focused on being ready to

165
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: go week one. That was just how I mentally prepared myself.

166
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: So mentally, I know, if the situation was to come

167
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: and I had to go out there and play just

168
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: who I am as a person.

169
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: I like to compete just what I do.

170
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: You know, whether it's when I was in seven or

171
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: seven in high school and Keishan Johnson had a team,

172
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: he just told me doing some cleetch, just went out

173
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: there and play, you know what I mean, or whatever

174
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: it may be. So mentally, always being mentally ready and

175
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 2: physically doing what I need to do to stand shape,

176
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: but coming out here getting in football shape, getting ramped up,

177
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: and we're gonna see how that goes from there.

178
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: And then my other question for you, I know you're

179
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: a competitor. I know you don't make excuses, but you

180
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: were also banged up a lot last year, especially towards

181
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: d N. How should that do you think maybe factored

182
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: into your play and your mindset? You know, did you

183
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: ever at some point say, gee, I don't know if

184
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I want to go through this again.

185
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, injuries is uh you we learn at

186
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't say a young age, but you learned soon

187
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 2: that it's a part of the game and if you're

188
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: out there, you're out there.

189
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: You got to deal with it.

190
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: And I don't, like you said, I'm not about to

191
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: use that as a reason of play being the way

192
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: it was. But I never in my my thought process

193
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: saying I didn't want to go through this again. So yeah,

194
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: that's why I'm saying. Maybe the time off was much needed,

195
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: you know for me my body mentally, a good reset.

196
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 2: So I'm just excited, you know, to be back and

197
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: get ready to work. I appreciate it. Hey, what's going on,

198
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: what's happening?

199
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 6: Did you did you seek any kind of assurance that

200
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 6: you would start at corner to re sign with a

201
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 6: team like this.

202
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say seek any reassurance, but I know I

203
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 2: seek and uh being wanted back. So you know, when

204
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: you got that aspect of being wanted, you know you

205
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: you're able to go out there and just do.

206
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: Do what you can help the team, you know, whatever

207
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: it may be.

208
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: So whatever road they you know, they give me, they say,

209
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: go out there and uh be the vice on be

210
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: the vice for Gunner. Why does he take a pumber

211
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: return back?

212
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: I can do that.

213
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: Go out there and make a tackle on a pumb

214
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: returner at Gunner, I can do that. So, you know,

215
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: whatever may be needed, play corner, inside, whatever may be,

216
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: you know, any way to help this team and to

217
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 2: be able to just help the guys in general.

218
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 6: Did they talk to you about possibly returning punches or

219
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: did they talk to you about the roles you just mentioned,

220
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 6: like kind of complimenting Gunner but not actually taking that job.

221
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: Man, I'm always in the mind I said that I'm

222
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: a returner. I've always been one that heart regardless of

223
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: what may happen. As y'all have seen I go back

224
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: there and it's just second nation, you know, just like

225
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: you get up, walk out of bed, go wash your face,

226
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 2: brush your teeth. I get up, go back there, promer return,

227
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: catch it and figure out what's gonna happen next.

228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 6: Are you physically capable of playing sixty snaps on Sunday

229
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 6: if you started outside corner and play the whole game,

230
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 6: like I mean in football shape right now? Are you

231
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 6: in the shape to play a full game at outside

232
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 6: corner on Sunday?

233
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: I can play sixty snaps, you know what I mean.

234
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

235
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how sixty I might be gas you know,

236
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't. I wouldn't put a number of snaps

237
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: how I can play right now? So we're gonna see

238
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: this week, you know, being getting ramped up and working

239
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: on my condition and seeing what I need, you know,

240
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: obviously doing stuff on the side for myself. You know,

241
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: I know my body as well, and you know, obviously

242
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: having the performance coaches and the trainers here to be

243
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 2: able to you know, guide me and assess me and

244
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: what I may need and just go from there.

245
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: Last one, if you don't mind, did you you said

246
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 6: you had some interest around the league? Did you visit

247
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 6: any other teams or did you. Did you talk seriously

248
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 6: with any other teams about this kind of signing or

249
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 6: did nothing get close to a series?

250
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: Is this so my agent did most of the talking,

251
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: But no, I did not do any any visits. The

252
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: only one I came to was, uh, out here, thanks man,

253
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: We'll take two more.

254
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: Tom Cannan, Hey Jory, how you doing?

255

256
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I just have some two simple ones. Did you get

257
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: your old number back? And did you have to get

258
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: a new locker or what? No?

259
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: I didn't get my old number back. I actually uh

260
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: this funny. Drew had asked me did I want it back?

261
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: And I'm like, nah, you can keep it. Uh.

262
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: I've seen him making some plays in it, so I'm like,

263
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: you got it, like you look good in it? So

264
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: you got it?

265
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: And no, I didn't get my old locker back. But

266
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm like two lockers over, so it's not too crazy.

267
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 2: I'm still right by the guys with Dex and Bobbio,

268
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Carri kay and and Thibodeau, so you know it's cool.

269
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm still with some familiar faces.

270
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 7: Thank you, lost one. What's up with Doria?

271
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: Are you doing?

272
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: Man? Doing good?

273
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 7: Uh? I dropped off in the beginning. So I apologize

274
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 7: if I cover anything You've already mentioned. You didn't get

275
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 7: your old number, So what number you're wearing?

276
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: Oh, we're gonna find out today. It's still a secret.

277
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: Huh find out today?

278
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 7: It's this Is this a surreal situation for you because

279
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 7: you know you haven't been in the locker room since

280
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 7: the one you left back in January? Right, Yeah, it's

281
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 7: not the same locker room. I mean there's some similarities,

282
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 7: but you know the DC is different. We know, you know,

283
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 7: the head coach and the GM are the same. You

284
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 7: have some familiarity, but it's also different. What's it like

285
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 7: walking into that locker room today, you know, knowing that

286
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 7: it's not the same, but it has similarities.

287
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: Love, I think that's my way to describe. It's always

288
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: gonna be love, you know, actually having all similar faces.

289
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: But I think from player to player recognition, you respect,

290
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: you know other players, you know that got to this

291
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: point in this league, someone matter. You know, they always

292
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: say whatever however you got here, is what you do

293
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: when you get here. So being able to respect these

294
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: guys and see them and say what's up, introduce myself,

295
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: just be respectable because you know, I'm someone new to them,

296
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: but to be able to see some of my old teammates,

297
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: some of the old coaches. Like I said earlier, it's

298
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: kind of like a family reunion. So that's always good

299
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: to be surrounded by love and it makes you feel

300
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 2: good to come and work.

301
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: The last thing would be, you.

302
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 7: Know, you were always a younger player. You always viewed

303
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 7: as the younger player when a veteran would come into

304
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 7: the locker room late in the year. Now you're the

305
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 7: veteran coming into a locker room that a team's kind

306
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 7: of been built here, getting ready to go.

307
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: Do you appreciate the role.

308
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 7: You're in now knowing that you know, you have a

309
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 7: lot of eyes on you right now seeing who this

310
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 7: guy is gonna be. You know a lot of people

311
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 7: who don't know you, for the reputation you've built in

312
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 7: this league and.

313
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 4: In this locker room.

314
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: I think it goes back to.

315
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: You know, when I came in as a ROOKERD when

316
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: I first got here, I always said I wanted to

317
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: prove myself and earn my stripes. That was the first

318
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: thing I told about coming into to New York. Regardless

319
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: of if you know who I am or don't I

320
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: think it's always about proving yourself, you know, regardless of

321
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: what it may be. Each day, each week, going out

322
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: there trying to improve and get better because somebody's looking

323
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: at you, regardless if you know it or not. Maybe

324
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: it might be someone on special teams or on offense,

325
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: whatever may be trying to see like, you know, how

326
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: does he keep getting up or how does he keep

327
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: doing this, or why does he do this?

328
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: Why do he's do that?

329
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: So just trying to prove myself every day. So I

330
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: think taking that role and that's always how I have

331
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: been my move from Illinois to California, just just having

332
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: to prove myself
