1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Much better situation, and that they threw the ball there

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: and you didn't have to chase down the field. Yeah, definitely,

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: it's always better when you don't have to chase like wine. Okay, football,

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: How did it feel to be out there yesterday? You were,

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, pretty prominent role. It felt good. It's been

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: such a long time. I guess I just got to

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: get used to the NFL offseason compared to college. But

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's great to be back out

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: with the guys. Um just getting ready for this season.

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: It's so close. It's like I almost feel it we're here.

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: How charm or cold? That play balls? Yeah? Did you didn't?

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: You didn't think it was awesome? I could have caught

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: it cleaner? Yeah, I'm pig sorry. Can you talk about

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: your conditioning, all the work you did in the off

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: season and how that's helping you. Now, it's just the

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: off season. You have just your time, so you have

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're a pro, go about it

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: as a professional. Like every I come up here. I'm

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: not expected to come up here and then try to

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: get in shape get back to where I was. They

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: told us before we left, you gotta come up here

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: already we've got two weeks before the first game. I think, um,

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: you could tell your teammates were very excited for you

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: and for that the defense of the play. Can you

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: get a sense of what that kind of play can

26
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: do for your whole group. Yeah, that's that's our that's

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: our group, our defensive group, our team. I think we're

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: just a bunch of guys that are excited for everybody.

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Everybody's making plays and we're gonna be excited for each other,

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: and it's just gonna be contagious, you guys, not you

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: per saving the giant struggle cover and running backs last

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: year in the game, opposing runs back last year and

33
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: how difficult dolls those matchups were. A linebacker, when you

34
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: get a say Partly or Tree co In or whoever

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: have in space like that, it's pretty difficult. But I mean,

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: this this is our job. I'm not I can't go

37
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: out there and say, oh it's difficult to get around

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: are physical linement. It's my job. That's what I do.

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: But I mean it's just something we focus on, um,

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: put more attention on and then it's not too many

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: guys like sake one out there. So we do that

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in practice. You can cover him. You can cover pretty

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: much anybody. Was not particularly pleased with his performance on

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: that play. What was he trying to do to you there?

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: I guess he was trying to fake block me and

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: slip it. But I read that. Did they send you

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: HomeOS off seasons and he's sort of like, we wanted

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: this way when you come back, or any specific kind

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: of targets. Yes, I mean my max weight my goal

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: away was like two fifty something, but I know I

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: couldn't be above sixty three. So it was like, I've

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: never been a weight guy, but I tried to watch

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: my weight and make sure I didn't come back too heavy.

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: So what did you come back at? Wait? Weird at

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: the end of last year, probably like forty something fortiest,

56
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: So they gave you a max, but they wanted to gain. Yeah,

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: my target with probably fifty fifty three anywhere around that.

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: More weight, the better comfortable. Oh yeah, I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable.

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I haven't really gotten to a weight where I'm uncomfortable.

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: But I'll let you know what that happens. I think

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: we're all there. Well, you find out it was the

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: best way to add that weight. I think just eating Um,

63
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I've constantly I've always been trying to like gag weight,

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: but I guess it comes with age. My metabolism slowing

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: down slowly, but surely, what are you thirty seven? Yeah,

66
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: I wish man you're taking metabolism is actually slowing down.

67
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I hope so espn at Jazz like the number one

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: player in the entire NFL to have a breakout young

69
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: player to have a breakout season. So that's not probably

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: you might not have seen that, but you know there

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of huge expectations on you this year,

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: and you're welcoming that, Like, how do you shoulder that?

73
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always kind of put big expectations on myself,

74
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: so coming to New York, I knew reading media wasn't

75
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna be the smartest thing to do, so I try

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: to stay away from it. Um, But I mean, hey,

77
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: if that's what they say there, go ahead and watch

78
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: just watch the see it's been giants haven't had a

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: double digit sack guy, since you think you can snap

80
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: that streak? Yes, sir, hopefully let's see get the season going,

81
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: get some plays rolling, just play ball, win games. And

82
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about winning games and getting double digit sex,

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: double digit wins. I mean, to win games. One of

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: the things you guys have to do is close out.

85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: You didn't do that a lot last year. I mean,

86
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: how do you do it this year? We put a

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: big emphasis on that this year. Um, Like you said,

88
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: we we were in it a lot of games up

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: until the end and let a lot of games slide

90
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. So this offseason I need I know,

91
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: for me personally, it's just been finished. For the team

92
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: has been finished, and we're gonna have that same mindset

93
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: in these practices. We've gotta finish that. You can't let

94
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: off the gas. Did you feel you said that you

95
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: didn't think the play was really awesome or anything special,

96
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: But did you feel like after after talking about potential

97
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: and potential and potential you said you were done talking

98
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: potential yesterday kind of validate the work you did in

99
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: the off season a little bit? I mean a little bit.

100
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: It's day one of practice. I'm not worried about trying

101
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: to prove anything to anybody besides myself and my coaches. UM,

102
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to go out there and have fun,

103
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: keep playing ball, play fast, play physical, play smart, um

104
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: and build off of that until week one
