1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: On his first day.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Good, it was awesome. I'm in a new building with

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: new people, and I fill at home. So yeah, when

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: you first heard you were coming to the Giants, what

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: was your reaction? I mean, as you've seen, I cried.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 2: You know, this is an awesome place to be. Did

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: I expect it to be here? No? But this is

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: where I want to be now, and I love that

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: I'm here. I've met new guys, you know, throughout the

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: last two weeks, and it's been awesome. So ahead, well

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: why did you cry? What was the motion it was

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: going to? I've I've worked eighteen years, you know to

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: get to this moment, and you know, I'm on NFL

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: team now and I still have more to prove. So

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm excited to, you know, get to get to work

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: and prove what I have, prove what I.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Am okayis was something you had to work on as you.

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Got all Yeah, I mean I worked on it. You know,

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: throughout my whole life, I caught the ball. My dad

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: was a six five and ten pound receiver in high school,

21
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: so catching the ball was big for him. And as

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: I grew up, you know, catching the ball was an

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: emphasis he made me do, so It's been natural throughout,

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, my life, and credit to my dad had

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: really good hands in high school. So what about the

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: physical part of the game. Do you love promotion? I

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: feel like that's what everyone says, physical, physical, Like, what

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: do you love about that? Getting the end zone? I mean,

29
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: you know, it feels good when you run somebody over

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: and then getting the end zone. I mean, it feel

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: good when you get in the en zone. But imagine

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: running someone over and then running another person over and

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: then getting in the end zone. It's not much better,

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: you know. So it just shows that, you know, when

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: when you're physical, it shows the work you put in,

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, the weight room, and how much you do

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: to make your game better. So do you think well sleep.

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: On your ability to make guys miss in the open field?

39
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Say one more time?

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: You feel like people sleep on your ability to make

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: guys miss in the open field?

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit this past year, I didn't do

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: it a ton, you know, I more so hit people

44
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: or attack their one shoulder. But I mean people want

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: to sleep. They can sleep, you know. I have no

46
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: issue with that. It's been something I've had to deal

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: with my whole life. So I'm going to continue to

48
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: do what I need to do to be successful and

49
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: play as long as I can in this league.

50
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: You talk about being physical and attacking at one shoulder,

51
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: it's about angles. How often does that get lost in

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: terms of how folks view the running back position, like

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: you always taking on too much contact, but not that

54
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: every contact contact is the same contact.

55
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and that's right. I mean head up contact

56
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: is that's that's real contact, you know, And shoulder to

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: shoulder isn't as much contact as people think, you know.

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: And uh, I have a I have a good balance

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: underneath my feet. So if I can get half of

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: a body, you know, I feel like I'm in a

61
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: good shape to go past them. So with all you accomplished,

62
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: how do you keep finding the chip on your shoulder

63
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: and to prove people that you can still do? Or yeah,

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: how many snaps of the NFL have you seen me play? Zero? Right,

65
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: I've proved nothing. I've you know, I've proved what I

66
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: am in college, but I've proved nothing at this level.

67
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: So what now? Where I'm at, I have to prove myself.

68
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: And if that's for five years or if that's for

69
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: ten years, I'm gonna continue to prove myself I'm the best,

70
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: do it for the longest, So continue to do that

71
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: and just work my butt off until, you know, until

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: time comes. Kim, have you heard from Tyrone Tracy or

73
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: watch any film about him? What do you know about

74
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: him as the running out? Yeah, he's I've watched him

75
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: film obviously. I'm in the coach in the room with

76
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: coach Betts, and uh, he's texted me and we've gotten contact,

77
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: so you know, I've I've i haven't met him in

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: person yet. I'm excited to, but uh, you know, I'm

79
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: excited to play with him, next to him, in the

80
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: same room as him, you know, even me learning from him.

81
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: He's done it for a year and I'm excited to,

82
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, pick things from his game also. So it

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 2: seems like a really good guy. You know, we've we've

84
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: had conversation and I can't wait to meet him. There's

85
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL teams that use like a two

86
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: back system. And this is not in any way to

87
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: say that you both can't do it all. But could

88
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: you guys together be like a thunder and lightning kind

89
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: of combination. Yeah. Absolutely, I Mean he's he's a really

90
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: fast you know, running back, and and there's nothing about

91
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: his game that you can take away from. And you know,

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: he might be a little faster than me. So if

93
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: you want to call it thunder and lightning and go ahead,

94
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: But you know, it's it's it's a running back backfield,

95
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: no matter how it goes, whatever our roles are. You know,

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: if he plays the whole time and I play at all,

97
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: you know, not at all. I'm just gonna be here

98
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna work, put my head down and keep going.

99
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: How much pressure does it put a defense put on

100
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: a defense when you do have two backs that can

101
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: sub in and out, in and out in and out,

102
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: that run a little differently. I know, you guys can

103
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: all do everything. But he's known for more speed, you're

104
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 2: known for more physicality. Yeah, I mean it's huge because

105
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: you got if I'm in the game, you got eight

106
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: guys in the box, and you know, if he goes

107
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: in the game, there could be five. So he could

108
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: have a really good advantage in the run game. I

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: could have a really good advantage of the catching in

110
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: the past game. So it's it's gonna switch things up,

111
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: and I'm excited. You know, I don't have any any

112
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: idea what they're gonna do with us. But whatever they

113
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: have for us, I know we're both gonna take it

114
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: on head on, and you know the rest of that

115
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: room too also, So Ky, what's your first depression here? Jackson?

116
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: Obviously run there's a lot of the meetings, I'm sure,

117
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: and on the field. Yeah, I mean he's incredibly smart.

118
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: You guys will talk to him soon, But I mean

119
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: I've I've talked to him the last twenty four hours,

120
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: and I mean, the kid's incredibly smart. You know, he's

121
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: one of the smartest I've been around. And I mean

122
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: he did he did a great job today with the

123
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: you know seven seven on seven play calls, snap counts

124
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: and all that and keep making make sure everybody was

125
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: in line. So I can't you know, I can't wait

126
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: to see what he does and what he's capable of.

127
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: How do you know that?

128
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: How do you know that?

129
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: You say he's incredibly smart, I mean you haven't been

130
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: around him. How does that smart manifest itself? Yeah? I

131
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: mean coaches say things and if you answer it fast

132
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: and right, you know that that's that's that's hard to do,

133
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, especially how with the nerves and everything that

134
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 2: rack up as a rookie, the head coach asked you

135
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: a question and you know the answer like that. You

136
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: know you're into your books and you know you're very smart.

137
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: So and just talking to him about football and certain

138
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: routes and play calls and just hearing him hear a

139
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: call one time and being able to call it multiple

140
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: times back to back. It's just something that he does

141
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: well in. Uh. I can't wait to continue to see

142
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: what he does. How do you do more with those

143
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: snap questions?

144
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: Have you done so far? Good?

145
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I'm a I'm a pretty smart back,

146
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: so I don't. I don't really have a ton of

147
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: issues with, you know, answering questions as simple as for

148
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: doubling up. They give it to you exactly this. This

149
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: is what I'm in for now. We'll see what I

150
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm this is a temporary number. We'll see

151
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: what I end up in the season, but we won't

152
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: know that until you know later on
