And 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: one thing that he always exhibited was consistency. He was 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: at the same place every single time of the day. 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Another thing that he exemplified was resilience. He didn't let 42 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: anything get in the way of his preparation, in the 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: way of his approach. And the other thing was he 44 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: kept it simple. He didn't think too much about the 45 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: big things. He focused on doing small things over and 46 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 2: over again. That resulted in him having the success that 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: he had for his entire career. So me having that 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: experience being in rooms with great veteran quarterbacks such as 49 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick being in rooms now quarterbacks with Derek Carr, 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson last year, having a chance to mentor Drian 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: Thomas Robinson when he had a chance to to get 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: back in his star and role with the Cleveland Browns. 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: I've been able to learn so many different things from 54 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: my time my career, So cateringto a young quarterback and 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: serving them, uh, would be something that I would definitely 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: take home with a great responsibility in chaeriship. 57 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: Doesn't make it feel old, of course right now. 58 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: I know I'm still young, and I know my capabilities 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: are very are very good as well, So leading by 60 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: example would be a good way to lead a young 61 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: quarterback as well. 62 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Thank you, Ryan Dunleavy, jamis welcome. 63 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 4: Thanks for doing this.

But just the fact 77 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: that the Big Apple is the biggest city in the 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: world with the greatest fans in the world as well 79 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: to create some popular larity that didn't hurt, you know. 80 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: So I'm definitely grateful for what this city brings, but 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: I'm definitely focusing on what I can do to help 82 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 2: uplift this team from the quarterback position. 83 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm curious because when the free agency started, I was 84 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: going through and I was penciling in free agents who 85 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: could be starters in different teams that needed starters, And 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: I thought you'd be looking for a starting job. 87 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 4: Did you look for that and not find it? 88 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: Like? 89 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 4: Why were you willing to sign up for a backup job? 90 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 4: Where jamis? 91 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: I think you know this, if they were to pick 92 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback at three, you could end up being third 93 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: on the depth chart when you're an obviously capable of 94 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: being a starter. Why how did you look at that? 95 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: You know, one through three on a depth chart. 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, my initial vision with approaching this offseason was to 97 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: find out opportunity that gave me either a starting role 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: or a bridge opportunity to be the starting quarterback. And 99 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: I believe this situation is a situation that it looks 100 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: similar whether it's a veteran quarterback that I have to 101 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: compete with and help serve and help make better for 102 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: this team, or as a young quarterback who's coming in 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 2: from college who I have to help get better, who 104 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: I have to compete with and serve. This is the NFL. 105 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: There's no there in my job requirement at the quarterback position, 106 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: there is only one of us. So in that job requirement, 107 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: you have to be a to compete and to and 108 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: be able to just be your very best self, and 109 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: whoever is the best guy gets gets the job. Like 110 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 2: that's just how it works. Since I've been in the NFL. 111 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: Uh So, when the Giants opportunity was there, and those 112 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: opportunities for being sure starters or and sure bridge opportunities 113 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: when there wasn't as plentiful, I looked at this opportunity 114 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: as a great one for me to be able to 115 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 2: come in and have that starter bridge opportunity uh in 116 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: the future. 117 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you, Tom rock Jamis, what do you 118 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: what do you know about Dabel? 119 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: What do you what do you know about the coaching 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: staff and the roster that you're a part of them. Well, 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: I've always in my Brian Dabele back when he was 122 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: with the Patriots, I really love. I got more familiar 123 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: with him when I saw the reigning the leads raining 124 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: M v P. Josh Allen have a tremendous jump from 125 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: year one to year two. So I saw a coordinator 126 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: or a play caller that was very creative, that that 127 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: found ways to cater to his quarterback strengths, to find 128 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: ways to get his position players involved, and found ways 129 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: to take off a lot of excess work from our 130 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: offensive linement by getting the ball out quickly and trying 131 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: to find ways to establish the running game. So that's 132 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: something that I've always married about him. But when I 133 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: got to really understand his upbringing, where he comes from, 134 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: uh and what he was about coming from Buffalo, New York, 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: hard nosed, gritty, raised by his grandparents, that's something that 136 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: I kind of I definitely was familiar to with because 137 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: I was raised by my grandmother as well. So that's 138 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: just that that that similarity brought me even closer to 139 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: him as the man that he is. And I always 140 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: respected the coach that he was because obviously he's won 141 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: a lot of Super Bowls and he's made a lot 142 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: of athletes and quarterbacks a lot of money and had 143 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: a lot of success. 144 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 4: And how about the players, the receivers in particular. 145 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: Uh, well he's he's coached a lot of different receivers 146 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: and tight ends. 147 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the Giants receivers like the league. 148 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: And yeah, well you have you have a young superstar, 149 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: two young superstars, three young superstars in my in my 150 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: and from from the tape that I've seen what I've 151 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: watched in Malik run Dell uh and Theo and an 152 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: emerging superstar in uh in in Jalen Hyert Uh. And 153 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: you have a crafty veteran who's just always showed up 154 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: and done the right thing at the right time and 155 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 2: always finds a way to get behind the defense. And 156 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: there Slayton. So I think that was a key uh 157 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: get back for this for this organization, for this team, 158 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: and getting Darius back. You got a veteran running back 159 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: and Devin Singletary uh and a young running back that 160 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: can do things out of the backfield and Tracy So 161 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 2: I'm excited what this offense has has to offer. You 162 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: got a left tackle that's coming back from injury. But uh, 163 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: playing the offensive line, were in the trenches, you're gonna 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: get banged up sometimes. So I heard that Andrew is 165 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: very tough. I love getting a chance to spend some 166 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: time with GVR, knowing his his veteran background, knowing how 167 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: much impact that he has on this offensive line, uh 168 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: in general. Uh, and I look forward to connecting with 169 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: the other young guys and just seeing what we what 170 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 2: we can be as an offense. Man. I promise you 171 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: that we're gonna find a way to make some things 172 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: happen and get some wins.

And why do you think this team is 219 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 4: going a place to succeed? 220 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: Like you Well, the biggest thing when you join a 221 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: team that went three and fourteen, you gotta look at 222 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: it like this. Uh, the NFL is a business of 223 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: what have you done for me lately? In any team 224 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: that has that back against the wall, you know that 225 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: the coaches, the executives, the fans, they are looking for 226 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: immediate change. And I feel like in my time in 227 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: terms of my process of joining a team, I'm looking 228 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: for immediate change because it's required, it's required to start 229 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: winning for me in an NFL, it's required for this 230 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: organization to start winning, you know, so we can have 231 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: more more, more giggles, more laughter, more fun in this 232 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: in this building, like we're in the biggest city of 233 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 2: the world. We should enjoy that, uh And I think 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: winning does that. So when it comes to looking at 235 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: their record, I didn't. I didn't look at this team 236 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 2: being a three and fourteen team. I looked at what 237 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: it was possible. And what I saw was possible is 238 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 2: an offense that can execute efficiently and that can be explosive. 239 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: I saw a defense with an incredible front, and I 240 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: saw this season of them adding passing the depot in 241 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 2: Javon Holland in the back end to create some noise 242 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: to help that front get home. And I just figured 243 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: that the Giants, man, they don't look like a three 244 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: and fourteen team from the talks of you know, people 245 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: talking about I know Kaeva, I know Byron a little 246 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: bit in decks, like from from their talks and their conversations, 247 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: like the locker room, didn't seem like it was a 248 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: three and fourteen team. So this team is looking for 249 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 2: a complete paradigm shift. This team is looking to make 250 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: a splash, man, and it's no better, no better place 251 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: to do it, with no greater calling to do it 252 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: than right here in New York City being a New 253 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: York Football giant. 254 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 4: Last one with Jordan renand Hey, Jamis fucking man, Hey, 255 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 4: what's up? 256 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: Joy? 257 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 4: That much? 258 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 5: We all obviously saw you, you know as safe fund 259 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 5: where you were, you know where you should go? And 260 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 5: he said the Giants And now that sense of where 261 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 5: you ended up. I'm wondering how much did you look 262 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 5: into it after that? And like did you talk did 263 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 5: you talk to any of the guys that you mentioned before? 264 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 5: And what was the process like for you, Like what 265 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 5: other teams were. Was there a bunch of other teams 266 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 5: interested you had to choose them over somebody else? 267 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: How did that all pan out? 268 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the the process was as fresh as it was 269 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: of me asking Saquon where should I go? You know, 270 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't believe in coincidences, but when 271 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: he threw the Giants out there, it really gave me 272 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: and my team and looked like, hmm, like what they 273 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: doing over there? You know, what is their vision? And 274 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: to pursue the Giants and c Like, I'm not saying 275 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: that I should behind Saquon as my agent, but what 276 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: I am saying is that he has good decisions, you know, 277 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: and obviously with him coming off the Super Bowl, his 278 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: connection to New York, I'm pretty sure the fans aren't happy, 279 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure what he said about the fans 280 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: enjoying me, I think they gave them a little bit 281 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: more excitement. So this free agency process is different every 282 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: single year. Obviously, with Aaron and Russ holding up the 283 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: mar market for the beginning of the free agency, it 284 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 2: was it was stuck. It was tough. A lot of 285 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: teams UH had committed committed to them, had their hopes 286 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: and dreams of of getting those two guys or other 287 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: guys in the future. UH. This team was one of 288 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: the few teams UH that that gave me an opportunity, 289 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: that wanted to have me in, wanted me to UH 290 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: to see the building, wanted me to connect with COACHBA, 291 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: Coach Dabele and UH and just see what the giants 292 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: were all about U.
