How frustrating was that for you 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: last year? Did you feel like you're, you know, making 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: a lot of progress before that kind of came up 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: and and and just derailed you. Yeah, definitely. Uh, It's 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: one of the first time I missed tom from playing football. 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: So it was definitely frustrating for me not being out 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: there on my teammates, and you know, it humbled me 26 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: and I got a different scope of the game and 27 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: I'm just ready for this year coming up. Well, you 28 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: mentioned it. What was the different scope of the game 29 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: that you think you're able to get by watching instead 30 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: of doing. It just made me appreciate like all those 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: times you know you maybe a little tired of practice 32 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: and you don't really want to be out there, but 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, just being away from it made me appreciate 34 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: every little thing, like everything that comes with this game. Man. 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just excited to get back out there 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: and you know, appreciate those little things that didn't value before. 37 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: I guess I word the question this way, So what 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: do the fans miss out on? Like what were you 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: ready to do? What kind of progress had you made 40 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: and we're ready to display out there before that injury 41 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: kind of you know, cut your season short. A little bit. Yeah, 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: I was just ready to just compete with my teammates. Man, 43 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: you know, go out therry rushed to pasture and you know, 44 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: make plays and just do all the things that we 45 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: love doing playing football. As you've rehabbed, how have you 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: been able to balance that with also working on your 47 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: craft to become a better football player this offseason? They know, 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: I could be tough, right, Yeah, that was. It's definitely 49 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: a unique situation. You gotta like find a good balance 50 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: because you don't want to put yourself too hard and 51 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: risk re injury or but you also want to get 52 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: better every single day. So you gotta find your balance, 53 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: and you know, work it out with your trainers, like 54 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: we have some of the best trainers share with the Giants. 55 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: You know, they helped me tremendously over to the last 56 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: six months, and you know, just finding that balance and 57 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: just trying not to push too hard, but finding a 58 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: good means to getting better aside from your health. What 59 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: were your main goals as off season in terms of 60 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: trying to become that better football player.

What 65 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: is it like playing for Patrick Graham in his scheme 66 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: where depending on the week, you're doing probably some very 67 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: different things. Yeah, you definitely have to be very multiple. 68 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: You gotta know how to do every single thing. You 69 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: could be dropping, you'd be rushing, and you just never 70 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: really known.

It's crazy, It's kind of it 173 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: feels like I'm like, you're one and a half at 174 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: this point because I finally gotta have this O. T 175 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: A is gonna hang out the new guys, new rookies, 176 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: things like that. So it's been cool to have that 177 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: aspect um going to this year and just excited it. 178 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: What's the difference for a guy like you who has 179 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: such a great mental approach to the game to being 180 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: able to be in this system for a second year now, No, 181 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: it's huge. I think every single time you step on 182 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: the practice field, go in the meeting room, you can 183 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: learn something new. And the way the coaches teach um 184 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: and the guy's work every day, you you always find 185 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: something you can add to your tool belt, and it's 186 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: it's been awesome to have that right now. What kind 187 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: of jump do you think we can see from not 188 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: just you, but the defense as a whole, knowing that 189 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: you now are doing this for Pat Graham and in 190 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: your second year. No, yeah, I think for us, our 191 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: big thing is just focused on that that given day, 192 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: that that given practice, that given meeting UM, and we 193 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: built that foundation as the year went on last year, Uh, 194 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: going into this year, it's it's making those new guys 195 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: catch up to that speed and then at that point, 196 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: I think this guy's limit. Now. They rolled a lot 197 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: of rookies into your room last year. How much progress 198 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: did you see from them over the course of the year, 199 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: and what kind of jump can we expect from that 200 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: group in year number two? No, definitely, I think every 201 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: single one of them contributed, did what they needed to do. UM. 202 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: But like I told of them, it's a big year 203 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: one to year to jump and that's when you kind 204 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: of separate yourself. And I think a lot of guys 205 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: came back ready to go in shape, UM, looking a 206 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: lot bigger, a lot stronger, a lot faster. Yeah, I'm excited. 207 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: We talked about in the system a lot how week 208 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: to week the defense can look very different based on opponent. 209 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 1: Did that I'm sure they talked to you about that 210 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: when you got here last year. Didn't meet your expectation 211 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: in terms of how many changes you really can have 212 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: week to week based on your opponent. And that's there's 213 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: so many things, so many aspects that can go in 214 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: so many factors. Um, you have to be ready at 215 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: a given moment and know what you're doing all the time. 216 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: And that's extra film work too, right going in Oh 217 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: yeah always, Um, it's just so many things were happening. 218 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: You always had probably plan A through Z instead of 219 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: just having planned ABC. You had the whole alphabet and 220 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: it was just certain things you have to be ready 221 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: to go on the fly no matter what situation happened. 222 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: And I got to imagine now with some additional help 223 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: coming in this offseason at door Jackson, you know, you 224 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: guys kind of should people in and out of that 225 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: second cornerback spot last year a lot. It probably opens 226 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: up more stuff you can do, especially in terms of 227 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: the coverages in the secondary right. No, definitely, there's a 228 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: lot of different aspects, and like you said, you make 229 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: that year one scheme grow to year two. Um, you're 230 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: able to make that jump add those new things in 231 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: because people just understand that much more. Final question, you 232 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: talk about disguise a lot on this defense and how 233 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: you try to make a team think you're doing one thing, 234 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: then you do the other and makes them hold the 235 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: ball make mistakes. I feel like that's more of an 236 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: art than a science. Can you describe to me the 237 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: art of disguise with what you guys try to do 238 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: on defense to fool the opposing quarterback. Yeah, and it's 239 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: one thing where it's one guy's disguising, but it's it's 240 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: that that art that comes up of when you have 241 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: all eleven in unison showing the same thing at the 242 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: same time and switching at the same time, and it's 243 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: it started to grow as the year went on, and 244 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: we'll just keep getting better and better as a training 245 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: camp goes on the rest of TS we look forward 246 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: to seeing it on the field. Blake, thanks so much, 247 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: No thanks for having me. That's Blake Martinez.
