1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Daniel have the firing up your head, coach hit you.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: It's tough. Um obviously that's I guess part of the

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: part of the business and and uh, you know, part

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: of the game at this level. But it's stuff tough

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: on me, tough of them, on all of us. Um,

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, what are you feel me? Uh yeah, just

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: uh just disappointed. I mean I think, um, you know,

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: the coach obviously believed to me, coach believed in been

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: all of us, and uh, you know, disappointing. So um,

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, grateful to him for the opportunity and and

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: uh and I think he's an excellent football coach and uh,

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: you know, I really appreciate what he's done for us.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: But something like this happens to the players feel a

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: feel a part of it is so they're responsible as well,

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, absolutely no question. I think, um, yeah,

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, uh it's a tough deal. But

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: but everyone is responsible. I think, um, you know, the

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: players are are you know, very very largely responsible for

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: for how this season's gone. You know, I think, um,

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, I certainly feel responsible. And I think that's

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, the tough part. So um, you know, that's

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: the way we should feel. And I think that's the way.

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Um you know that that's the way it is. I think, um,

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: you know everyone on the team, on this team feels

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: that way. So um, we've got to use that to

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: um motivate us going into the offseason and make sure

27
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: that you know, we're not in this position next year.

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: He addressed you guys, could you give us a little

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: bit of insight into what that was like? He addressed

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: you guys as a team he did, yeah, Um, and

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: uh you know, let us know, um of the situation,

32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: and um, you know, told us that he appreciate us,

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, our effort. And I think, um, you know,

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: coaches class and his um just who he is as

35
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: as a man is always uh you know a parent,

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: was a parent in that meeting also, So um, you know,

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: I think the think the world of him. I have,

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, ultimate amount of respect for for him as

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: a coach and as a as a person. The next

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: head coach be a fuarterback guy, a quarterback background. Uh,

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's you know, that's not necessarily

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: up to me. And and uh you know, well well

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: about my pay grade, pay grade, So um, you know,

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: my job is to work as hard as I can

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: to um, to improve, to learn the system, and and um,

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, work with the next coaching And obviously you're

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: not making the decision obviously, but what kind of general

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: characteristics would you be hoping for that the new head

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: coach would would happen? Uh? I don't know. I mean

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, just uh, just an energy

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: and excitement for this team. I think, um, you know,

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: I think, uh, the next head coach will do that.

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: You know, trust uh you know that the people making

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: that decision. And like I said, my job is for

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: My job is to be um you know, to work

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: as hard as I can to to learn the system

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: and to um continue to improve as a player. Yeah,

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: you're going get to the future. You're the franchise quarterback.

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: How do you accept the responsibility of being the quarterback

60
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: of the New York Giants. I think, just you know,

61
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: work hard every day. I mean I think, um, to improve.

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: I think you know, where we are right now as

63
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: a team. Um, where I am right now as a

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: player is not where we need to be. I think, um,

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, I feel that. I think the team feels that.

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: And um, you know, if we want to get where

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: we where we want to go. We're gonna have to,

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: um you know, use this to learn from this and

69
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: otherwise it's um you know, the season would have been

70
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: would have been pointless. So UM you know, we need

71
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: to use it to motivate us, use it to improve

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: going in the offseason, Daniel, they're gonna be coaching positions

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: opening the NFL. What do you think makes the Giants

74
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: opening so attractive? UM? I think one, it's a historic

75
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: franchise with a lot of tradition and a lot of UM,

76
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of tradition. I think, UM, you know,

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: this team has a chance to UM, like I said,

78
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: continue to improve and and I think you know we

79
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: have UM you know, we have guys who can who

80
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: can build a special team, who can be part of

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: a special team, and that's that's our goal. I mean

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I think, UM, we're excited about this team. I think

83
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: we know we have an opportunity to be to be

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: special and we're determined to do that. So UM you know,

85
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I think just the opportunity to to be a part

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: of this organization, this UM you know, this historic organization

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: is something anyone would be excited about. Is basically over

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,400
