1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Normal Friday. Um, so we'll be outside today and hopefully

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: have a good practice one day. Yeah, he's in the

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: meeting room. Um, making progress. Yeah, he'll come out here,

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: we'll practice today, we'll see where we're at, and then

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: like normal Fridays and talk about it after practice. But

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: I think he's he's making improvements. You've had a couple

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: of guys out of I mean he's been out I

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: think four weeks. Uh, you know a couple other receivers,

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: a couple other players who have been out multiple weeks.

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Soho you didn't put on I R. Is that more

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 1: salary cap related and money and stuff, or is that

12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: they haven't healed as fast as you thought they'd be

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: back within four weeks or whatever. I think every probably

14
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: every situation is a little different. Um, Joe and I

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: talked about all those different things. Every day. We just

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: try to do what's best we think for our team.

17
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Have you thought about putting Candarius on it at this point?

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Just giving him time to get right. Obviously he's had

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the multiple handision problems. At what point is it, you know,

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: more valuable for him just to give him time to

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: get him fully right and then bring him back we'll

22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: just keep on rehabbing him. I think he's making progress,

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: So we'll see where we're at next week. Speaking of progress,

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: learning how we do things here again the first week here,

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot to learn, there's a lot to pick

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: up schematically how we do things. But he's making progress,

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: making progress. Or do you think of Zeason Leonard will

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: play this week? I think Leonards had a good week.

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I think he's taking good steps. I think his zas

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: has to again. I think today is an important day,

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: um for both those guys. I'd say Leo is probably

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: a little further ahead. You asked We saw in some

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: video the Giants sent out that in the Combine meeting.

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: You asked cavan before, like, wait, before you drafted him,

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be like if you're in New York

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: and you go like four games without a sack, how

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: are you going to handle that? Well, he's in the ark,

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: he's gotting four games that sack. So has he handled

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: it affecting the quarterback? You know, that was a Combine question.

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: But I think he's done a good job of the

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: things we've asked him. Do I think he's steadily improved.

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I think he's affecting the quarterback. Obviously don't have a sack.

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: But as long as he's continued to affect the quarterback

44
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: and doing you know, the things we asked him to do,

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I think he's made a lot of good progress for us.

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: How much is facing a quarterback like amer effect to

47
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: turn around the edge guys? Can they do? They have

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: to be a little more cautious when they're when they're rushing. Yeah,

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: you have to be cautious with everything with this guy.

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: The play is never over. He could be in one

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: spot and then quickly be in another spot. He could

52
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: choose to pull up and throw it run. I think

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: it's going to take all eleven guys, you know, the

54
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: interior guys, the edge guys, the backers. He's just he's

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: a tough player, a tough quarterback to defend. Being too

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: aggressive rushing in like getting too deep, and the talk

57
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: of them the guard against with him. Yeah, you never

58
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: really want to be too far behind a quarterback when

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: you're rushing um, but you certainly you don't know. He'll

60
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: take his drop and if he needs to step up,

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: he steps up. If he has to escape, he escapes.

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: He's just he's a very unique unique player in this league. He's,

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: like I said before, he has a lot of fun

64
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: to watch, um because he's such a talented player and

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: he's a winner, is there? I mean, Lamar obviously knows

66
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: the defense right, he's playing against the version of him

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: for years in practice and wink obviously this and generally

68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: do you think it's an advantage for one person one

69
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: side more than the other either way? Or yeah, probably not.

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's really how you play and do it

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: on that particular day. Like I was in a system

72
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of years. You go to another place,

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: the defensive coaches said, well, what are they gonna do here?

74
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do here? I think, Um, I

75
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: think you're It's important to talk to the people that

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: have been in certain places and whether ask about a

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: player or a certain thing. But if you get too

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: far into that, if sometimes it hurts. Do you have

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: any major influences and how you approach game planning? Like

80
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: are there people in your past who you've kind of

81
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: turned to now now that you're in the position as

82
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: a head coach. No, I'd say that. You know, I'm

83
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: fortunate to learn on the defensive side of the ball.

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: For my first five years work special team scout teams

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: for you know, my early partner of my career obviously

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: been on the offense. Again, I think it's important to

87
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: letting Mike and Wink and t Mac come up with,

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, what they feel is going to be the

89
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: necessary things we need to do. And then you know,

90
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: I watch all the games. Um, I watched all three sides.

91
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I meet with those guys on a daily you know, regularly,

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: let them know my thoughts. You know, hey, think about

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: adding this or why are we doing this? Make sure

94
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: we have good discussions back and forth, and then we

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: try to come up with the best plan. But I

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: give those three guys credit as leaders of each of

97
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: their units of they're spending a ton of ton of

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: time and really digging into the details. And then I'll

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: just give my two cents here and there and try

100
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: to come up with the best plan we can. Just

101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: to quick follow about that this time out and that

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: that I think is the one eleven minute mark, Why

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: did you decide to take that? And best well, if

104
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: they scored, get the ball back and try to go

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: down and score. Another thought on landing and more big

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: picture when you guys brought them thinking bringing in Tony

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson earlier this year had don't want to practice squad.

108
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: We know the links he had to wink and the

109
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: guys on on defensive staff with Landing, it's a unique

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: situation because he has familiarity in the building. We're not

111
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: necessarily connections to the coaching staff. So as you guys

112
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: acclimate here, do you have to spend more time with

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: a guy like that, even though he's a veteran to

114
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: to be able to get him up to speed, you know,

115
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: he's not here in training camp. No, I'd say it's

116
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: consistent with all the guys that come into that we signed.

117
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: As you know, again, our job as a coaching staff

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: and the people in the organization is trying to acclimate

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: the player as quickly as we can and teach them

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: how we do things you know in the building. Teach

121
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: them the scheme We treat all our players, you know,

122
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: the same in that regard whether they're a tenure veteran

123
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: coming in on a practice squad or undrafted free agent. Um.

124
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, their job is to learn it. Our job

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: is to teach it. There's some tea last year that

126
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: had some success blitzing Lamar a lot and it seem

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: like this year he's like destroying the blitz. Have you

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: are they doing anything differentce you doing anything different? I

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: think every game is different. Um there's again you can

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: look at his record. That's first and foremost of the

131
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: quarterback I think is he hasn't had many losses. So, um,

132
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: he knows how to win. Whether you look. I've seen

133
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: people blitz him and he gets out of it. You know,

134
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: you're he's a unique player. Um, all eleven guys got

135
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: to be ready to go when you're playing a quarterback

136
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: that can that can play like this. Take two more

137
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Tanner outside. Is he gonna practice today? Uh, he will

138
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: not practice today. Doubt We'll see. We'll see after we

139
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: go here today. What is Tony Jefferson? No, jeff What

140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: is Pat? Nice? Guys,
