1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Um, you know, I'll start because I know, um, everyone 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: wants to ask about the trades and things that have 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: gone on, you know, in the last I guess fourty 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: eight hours ish. Um, you know, those are organizational decisions. 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: And I came here personally. I came here to be 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: a New York football giant, and UM, this is a 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: special organization and it's a special place to work, and 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: it's a special place to play football. And trades happen 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: in season, that happened in the off season, that happened 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: various times throughout the course of the year. And under 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: no circumstances any of our players or any of our 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: coaches ever gonna run from anything. We're gonna keep running 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: to it. Our guys are gonna keep playing hard. I 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: think Coach Shermer said it the best that Um. You know, 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: if if anyone is talking about us tanking on defense, 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: that's just a disrespect to everyone that's working the process, 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: that's on the field practice, and that's in the in 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: the in the room, watching tape and getting ready. And UM, 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: I love that we have vets in our locker room. 20 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: I love that we have guys of high character on 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: our defense that no matter what the challenges, whether the 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: challenges one in six and finding a way to get 23 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: a win, or if this team were a five win 24 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: team and we were trying to not be complacent. I 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: think there's high character in the room, and that's important. UM. 26 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: Certainly wish Eli and Snacks the best. Those guys that 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: worked hard for me as a coordinator and I and 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: I and I want to say that, and I greatly 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: appreciate their work here and I wish them the best 30 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: with their careers moving forward. But the guys that are 31 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: up next, UM, learn this message from a wise coach 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: I worked for, and he said, you know, next man up, 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: let's go. It's opportunity. It's an opportunity for those guys 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: to get exposure and get a chance to play and 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: play more snaps. It might mean five more snaps for 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: one guy, it might mean twenty more snaps for another guy, 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: might mean a starting role for for a couple of guys. UM. 38 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: But there's no hesitation in my mind, there's no concern 39 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: about those kind of moves. UM. When all I know 40 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: is ever, everything that we're trying to do is in 41 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: the best interest of the giants and the best interests 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: of us today as we sit here coming out of 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: a walk through, trying to find a way to get 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: a win this week versus a really good opponent. So 45 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: that's all I really say on on on the trade stuff. 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: Um this this offense running back that um, we'll wear 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: a gold jacket someday. Had had an opportunity to work 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: with him in Arizona when he was with us for 49 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: a short time and um, one of a great pro. 50 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: I remember um where he had just gotten with us 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: and he comes over to me. He goes, Coach Bett, Uh, 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: do you care if I get some scout team running 53 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: back reps against you? Guys? I looked at it. What 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: are you talking about, Adrian? He goes, no, I just 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: want to get a few if you actually carry some practice, 56 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: it's a little extra work. And um, you know that'll 57 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: always stick with me. A guy that that that you 58 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: would think you know, doesn't feel like he needs more, 59 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: A guy that works and a guy that runs downhill. Um, 60 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make you miss in tight area. 61 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: But at the same time, he'll put his paths down. 62 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: Got a lot of respect for his game, and we're 63 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to we have to gang tackling. We gotta 64 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: finish the down unblocked. Um you know, then after that 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the r p o s, the boots, some of those 66 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: kind of things that they give you in the past game. 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: A quarterback that is is a scrambler, and we'll try 68 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: to buy some time with his feet and tuck it 69 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: and run in some critical situations. And um, you know 70 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: they're getting a little bit healthier at receiver. It sounds like, 71 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a great test. And um, 72 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, our guys had a great meeting and when 73 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: we came in a day ago. Then I had a 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: really good practice yesterday. Walk through work are locked in 75 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: or focused? I don't see, um, this group flinch in 76 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: one bit, James. Trades are made for a lot of reasons. 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: But obviously you have to feel pretty good about somebody 78 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: like Dalvin Tomlinson to move on from snacks. What have 79 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: you seen from Tomlinson so far that makes you feel 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: good about moving forward? Yeah? I think the thing with 81 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: Dalvin is an extremely heavy handed striker, a guy that 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: can punch and separate, a guy that has the ability 83 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: to displace blockers, and um, you know, he he's gonna 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: get He's gonna get his great fair share of snaps. 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: But the truth is there's gonna be a great rotation 86 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: in that room, and um, I think we've kind of 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: done that to this point. Um, you know, Snacks, I 88 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: think he had played somewhere around the snaps at this point. 89 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: And you know, you might ask me why. And at 90 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you have to have a 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: great rotation in the d line room. And this is 92 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: a long season. We played a span of where there 93 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: was three games in a matter of pretty quick turnaround. Um. 94 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, if you're gonna 95 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: be good in your front, you have to have a 96 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: rotation with some of those core guys. So Dalvin will 97 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: be part of a huge part of that rotation as 98 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: he has been, and uh, some other guys in the 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: rooms are gonna get some shots. Pat said he thinks 100 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: that he's more of a natural noseguard. Anyway, do you 101 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: agree with that facement? I agree with that still, who 102 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: takes his spots like the starting hand or carry Morrow 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: carry um Mario. All those guy is gonna get snaps. 104 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: You're gonna see them all up there. You know, we 105 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: just got to the point in uh a z you know, 106 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: we we had a nose and we were right and 107 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: left with our defensive linemen. And I think is much 108 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: motion and shift and some of that stuff that you 109 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: get in the NFL right now, it's UM, that's that's 110 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: really the direction you want to be is have a 111 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: guy that can play right and a guy that can 112 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: play left, James, And what do you see with your 113 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: guys in terms of defending crossing routes? Yeah, UM, you know, 114 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: I don't think, UM, there is there's one particular route 115 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: that we've struggled with more than another. UM. I think 116 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: there's been times we've covered up things really well. And UM, 117 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: as we can all see on the tape, there's times 118 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: we have uh either been out of position from a 119 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: leverage standpoint or I need to give him a better call. 120 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: And UM, I think we're all accountable to that. And 121 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: as we have kind of stood up here and talked 122 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: before the thing about this group of guys, man, we 123 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: will play hard and lights out for some snaps in 124 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: a row. And I was really really proud of um 125 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: most of the snaps that we played in a landed 126 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: where I really am. But there's enough snaps that we 127 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: need to play better and I need to call better, 128 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: and we need to continue to close those small gaps, 129 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: whether it's maintaining leverage in terms of some of the 130 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: routes you're talking about, or it's um playing with better 131 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: vision and better eyes and some of those situations, and 132 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: just generally what you're looking for, UM, guy that has 133 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: power that can knock the point back, that can hold 134 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: the point of your defense instead, is such such a 135 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: middle of the um the middle of the defense spot. UM. 136 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: I think what you find is the better you are 137 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: at some positions, the more other more people try to UM. 138 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: I don't want to use the word expose you, but 139 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: attack you in different ways. So when you have a 140 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: guy like Dalvin or even a guy like Snacks in 141 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: the middle, you might get more perimeter runs, more runs 142 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: that are going sideways to the sideline and stretched and 143 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: maybe downhill stuff. And UM, I think Dalvin is going 144 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: to do a great job in there. And I'm excited 145 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: to watching playing side and continue to get better because 146 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: he The great thing about him he he still has 147 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: um a lot of football ahead of him in his career, 148 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: and he has a lot of room to grow and 149 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: become a better player. And and um, I love his 150 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: work ethic I like how he works in individual. We 151 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: got watch him when you're here and you're watching individual, 152 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: just watch how he works. He's he's a pro, he's 153 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: working on getting better and he's very conscious of the 154 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: things that he needs to get better at Coach Coach 155 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: Green Haley, Yep, it's one of those guys you talked 156 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: about getting more outside. Him and Sean will both get 157 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: him and Sean Chandler will both get some snaps inside 158 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: and um, I think you'll you'll also probably see him 159 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: a line outside a little bit at corner with a 160 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: b W, maybe in the slot a little bit like 161 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: he has played. UM, So you're gonna see a little 162 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: mixture of that. But Sean in um, Shawn is also 163 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: going to be in the mix with some of those snaps.
