1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Freddy, I don't think we asked you this last time.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I'm curious if you gave any consideration over

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: the off season to opting out or anything like that,

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: given your heart scare you had a couple of years ago. No,

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 1: I didn't, never, never gave it any consideration. Of course,

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: you know you want to, uh make sure you're safe,

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: take all the precautions, and then uh go live life

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: tat Leonard. Hey Freddie, what what kind of accountability does

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: it build in a team when a coach has the

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: assistance coaches and the coordinators running with the players after mistakes. Well,

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: I think you know, it's still motto that you know,

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: we're in this together. You know, of course there's in

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: life and football and everything, there's consequences for your actions

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: and and uh doing things to hurt the team. Uh,

15
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: it's not tolerant, you know. So, uh, you know, I

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: think it builds accountability throughout the program. Also, when day

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: ask you about one of your depth tight ends, Garrett

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Dickerson caught a couple of touchdowns, um the other day

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: in the scrimmage. You know, what have you seen from him?

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: Garrett's working hard and getting better each day. Um, and

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to do that. He's prepared in meetings,

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: he comes to a practice ready to work every day,

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: and uh, you know that's what I expect out to

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: try to get better each and every day. They Hey, Freddy,

25
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we talked about your past with with

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: Joe when we talked to you last week. So I'm

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: just curious when he was back building your swing set,

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: did you see him have this type of future out

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: of him? I always thought Joe was a very bright guy. Um. Uh,

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, so much of this has to do with

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: the way we progress in coaching. Um, you know, Joey

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: just finished playing when I was at Missisippi State, he

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: was there for one year as a player and then

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: uh stayed around and helped as a graduate assistant after that.

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: But of course, you know, it's it's all about going

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: to work every day and and uh and kind of

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: building that uh those habits. And Joe has done a

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: fantastic job over the course of the years, uh of

39
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: continuing on that path. So of course you know, um,

40
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's made the best and the most of

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: his opportunities, given it every stop. Um, so that's a

42
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: good thing. Can you give us a scouting report on

43
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: Joe Judge the player. Uh, you have to ask him

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: about that, ask him about the Alabama game his senior year.

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,399
Speaker 1: So thanks, Bruce Beck. Well, I tell you this about Joe.

46
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: It was a hard nosed, physical kind of player, um

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: that had everybody's respect on the football field, offensively, defensively everything.

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: So um, you know Joe was a good guy to

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: be around. It was the Alabama game when he uh

50
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: ejected someone from the bench area, Like I said, you

51
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: have to ask you about That's one of those thingies

52
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you don't really uh, you don't really celebrate as a coach. Ready,

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: How is Joe doing in your mind as head coach

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: of the Giants right now? And have you given him

55
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: any recommendations about being a head coach in this league? Well,

56
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: our conversations to study between Joe and I, Um, I

57
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: think Joe is doing a fantastic job of of getting

58
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: everybody focused and concentrated, effort to h moving in the

59
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: same direction, holding guy's accountable, um and very organized person. Um.

60
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: You know Joe has done a fantastic job up at

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: this point and he will continue Jordan's Hey Franny, what's

62
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: going on? Maim. What's up, Jordan, How are you doing?

63
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. Uh. With a guy like Evaning,

64
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and we know the last couple of years he's been

65
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: banged up right and kind of in and out of

66
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: the lineup, I'm curious as a coach, especially in this position,

67
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: what can you do to help a guy like that

68
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: staying healthier? Other things you can do, do you use

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: them differently? How do you go about that? Well? Football

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: is a physical game, and uh, it's a physical game

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: played by physical people. Uh, it's a tough game played

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: by tough people. So Evans in the mindset of he's

73
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: a tough player, physical player, everyone wants to get better

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: eats and every day and all aspects of his game.

75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: And and that's why we're gonna continue to work on.

76
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: We're not gonna live in fear, So keeping him out

77
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: of certain situations isn't something you probably consider with him.

78
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: That's them taken from that right, Well, now, I wouldn't

79
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: take it from that. I would say that we're gonna

80
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: do every day, We're gonna put Evan in the situations

81
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: that's best for the team and and organize it that way.

82
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: And Jason has done a good job of that and

83
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna continue to do a good job of

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: putting him in a position to help the team win

85
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: because ultimately that's all it's about. Appreciate it. We've got

86
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: time for one more, Ryan, Fred, you were on the

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: other side of a pretty big trade between the Giants

88
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: and uh the Browns last year. I'm curious what you

89
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: thought of Zeitler and Peppers when you had them with

90
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: the Browns. Uh. Kevin's oler is a tough, hard nose

91
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: UH player that that comes to work every day and

92
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: works and works and works good, works hard, um. Perhaps

93
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: a physical type player that um that tries to do

94
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: things the right way and he plays with a mentality

95
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: that's physical and it's good for a football team all

96
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: the way around. Do you see that? But as for

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: as for the other situation, I don't. I'm not gonna

98
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: revert back and talk about anything dealing with Cleveland. Do

99
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: you see that first round potential in Peppers? Well, I

100
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: mean he's a he's a great you know, perhaps a

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: good player and uh, you know, of course, after you're drafted, guys,

102
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter once you're in the league. It doesn't

103
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: matter where you're drafted. Everybody's evaluated the same, and and

104
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: perhaps doing a good job, and come to work every

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: day trying to get better, getting the system down, working

106
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: hard to be the best player he can be.
