1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Oh, Shane, I got the most snaps he's gotten so 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: far this season. Um was that just based on what 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine is presented or what you saw from 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: him the first two games, you know, excess uh since 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: since I've been around him, a guy that takes every 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: day the way we wanted to be around here, he 7 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: gets better, um, concentrates on what we asked him to do. 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a obviously because of 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: what our game plan was and what san Fran brought 10 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: to the table that got him involved a little bit more. 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: I thought he probably played, um you know you looked 12 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: for the silver linings and games like that. Probably played 13 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: as good as he has this point. Had a couple 14 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: of nice things in a run game, but also converted 15 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: some nice rushes against good players. UM. So it was 16 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: positive to see that. Now you'd like to see that 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: momentum and his confidence continued forward and to see what 18 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: we get. You see, he's one of those guys who 19 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: had a you know, in a tough year last year 20 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: for the team, had a had a promising rookie year. 21 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: I would say there's something to build on. Um was 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: the first two games didn't get a lot of snaps 23 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: really situational, I guess, but is he kind of a 24 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: guy that you're waiting for two or I know, giants 25 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: fans are waiting to say, you know, show me more, 26 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: show me more. Yeah, you know he's obviously I didn't 27 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: know a lot about him before coming here. Um, giants 28 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: have done their research on him and took him and 29 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I've been very impressed with him since day one. Just uh, 30 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: you know, his attention to detail. He's a guy that's 31 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: very conscientious, plays a lot of different roles, plays on 32 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: special teams. Uh. You know, Joe always talks about guys 33 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: that bring value in other roles, and he's a guy 34 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: that definitely has done that. Um. But yeah, I think 35 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: he's a guy that in my career, you know, I've 36 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: noticed guys that just need that one play, that one moment, 37 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: that one thing that kind of catapults him into Hey, 38 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I belong here, I can do this. I need to 39 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: be able to capitalize on my skill set. He's he's 40 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: really got some some things. Physically. He plays with really 41 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: good balance, Um, has good strength. There was a couple 42 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: of rushes that you saw if you hone in on him, 43 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: that he does some really nice, powerful moves, but he 44 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: also has some athletic things I've seen him do. So 45 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: a unique player, a guy that I think has a 46 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: skill set for the edge that you can really build on. 47 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: You can see him as a pass rusher, I go, 48 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, he had he had a couple of rushers 49 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: on Saturday that unfortunately and landed. You know, the timing 50 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: of the ball just came out quickly. But um, he 51 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: hit some pretty good, good pass rush moves that we've 52 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: been working and I think he's been honing in on 53 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: and and hopefully just again, you know, as a young 54 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: player like him, sometimes they actually just have to experience 55 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: it in a game like situation. Doesn't matter how many 56 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: times we do it on the practice field. They got 57 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: to be able to convert it live into a on 58 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: the field game experience, and hopefully that's gonna come soon. 59 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: I was wondering, Lorenzo Carter is off to a blazing 60 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: pass start, and I'm just wondering what's behind that. Is 61 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: it just more comfort in the system, a different change 62 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: and what you're asking him to do or what you know. Um, Lorenzo, 63 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: even though he's been here a number of years, I 64 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: think he's a guy that really hasn't even gone to 65 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: his potential yet. Um, really enjoy the attitude, the energy, 66 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: very very kind of a different guy when you talk 67 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: to him, right, He's a real cerebral uh, thinks about 68 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: a lot of things and and UM, you know what 69 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: we're trying to get him to do is you know, 70 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: play play every down the right right way and kind 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: of had those flashes you see at times. Um. Sure 72 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: everybody saw the play on the bootleg where he hit 73 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: the tight end, got the hand on the bowl and 74 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: almost came up with a big play interception, but just 75 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: just a little bit short of that, you know. And 76 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: there are some things that I know on Sunday he 77 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: definitely wishes he could have over again, and and nobody 78 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: knows that more than him. So I'm excited to see 79 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: where he goes this week because he's kind of had 80 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: three games that have been all a little bit different. Um. 81 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: He actually I think played the least amount of snaps 82 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: on Sunday that he's played so far this season, and 83 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: sometimes less his best. So give credit to FAC and 84 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: and X and and and really MG as they kind 85 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: of take someone take over some of those reps, and 86 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: I think by committee hopefully will continue to hopefully improve 87 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: and see where it can go. And just to follow up, 88 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned by committee, how much does that kind of 89 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: dieter the the best start of the other guys, like 90 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: for example, you know we see Marcus Golden getting a 91 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: sprinkling of snaps, Tyler's getting a sprinkling of stats. You know, 92 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: is it kind of like a running back situation where 93 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, you've got to get into a group with 94 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: the more snaps you can you can possibly get hers. 95 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Are there things that these guys can do to you know, 96 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: expedite their start. Yeah, Well, you know, in particular, our 97 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: room has you know, four guys um, you know, between 98 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: the x zo uh Fi and mg um Cam Brown's 99 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: in there. You nobody's you know, playing more of a 100 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: special team's role. But those four guys all have different 101 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: unique skill sets. They all bring to the table certain 102 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: strengths and we try to minimize the weaknesses. Um all 103 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: a really good group to work with. I think as 104 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: we begin to feel ourselves out, um going through three 105 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 1: games now without all the preseason and really having nothing 106 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: in the spring, we're trying to get a foundation of 107 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: what they do well, what they handled during the course 108 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 1: of the game. Um, and then be able to apply 109 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: it to to help the Giants win football games. That's 110 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: the ultimate goal. Really doesn't matter what we do individually, 111 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: it's what we do as a team. And I do 112 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: think that it starts with how they approach today. And 113 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: those four guys, um, uh, you know, if I was 114 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: new to the group, but those other three guys have 115 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: been around each other last year, so there was a 116 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: nice little jail already going on. And hopefully we can 117 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: continue to build that and and and start producing some wins. 118 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: And I just wanting to check in where the thing 119 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: stand with Marcus golding him. He's not playing nearly as 120 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: much as last season and then I made as much 121 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: an impact. Just know where the things stand with him. Yeah, 122 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: so you know, he was able to actually get more 123 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 1: reps on Sunday than he has all year. Um, again, 124 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: we rested less than the total reps that Zoe took. 125 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: He was in the forty count low fifties whatever it was. 126 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: The fact was in the fifth forties as well. Um, 127 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: and I think, uh, if I remember right, I'm already 128 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: obviously jumped into next week's preparation, but h mg, was 129 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: over twenty and those other guys were in the thirty 130 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: forty range. So I think the four guys as they 131 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: rotate through it will be a little bit based on, 132 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: you know, what an opponent brings to us. UH trying 133 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: to maximize and put our best players out there on 134 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: the field for a second and third down. Obviously some 135 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: guys have a roll in the kicking game, but UH 136 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: continue to use those guys skills as best we can. 137 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: Snaps in the game was a lot um obviously a 138 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: production late in the game. On defense, we did not 139 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: match some of the stuff early. Do you think, UM, 140 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: that took a toll on the defense in general and 141 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: your guys in particular. You know, I don't want to 142 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: speak for our guys. I just know what the reality 143 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: of I you know, got in after the game and 144 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: looked at the play sheet and realized we played that 145 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: many snaps. As a coach, you are into the game 146 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: and you don't really know. Sometimes I've been like, oh, 147 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know we played that many. I didn't know 148 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: we played that that few. Um. I do remember looking 149 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: at the score going at halftime and I felt like 150 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: we've been out there for four hours, you know. Just 151 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: it was a different type of game as it unfolded. 152 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: But um, you know, are our guys. I think are 153 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: are have an understanding that you know, we're all and 154 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: three football team that has to continue to work every day. Um, 155 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: They're not gonna try to jump ahead or think about 156 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: what's behind them. We can. You know, the only thing 157 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: that really happens with the losses if you don't take 158 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunity. And if we just treated as 159 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: a loss and forget everything that we could have learned 160 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: from it, We're not gonna make any steps forward. So 161 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: you gotta go back and first understand what we didn't 162 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: do well, UM, highlight of things we did do well, 163 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: and try to build on that. And I think if 164 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: we do that and continue to work the way Joe 165 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: has it planned out. You know, Joe is probably one 166 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: of the best big picture guys I've ever been around. 167 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: It just understands where we need to go. Um tries 168 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: to give everybody a snapshot of where it needs to 169 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: be on a day to day basis because he knows 170 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: the end, he knows where he wants it to be. 171 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: And Uh, these guys are working. They're fun group, detail oriented, 172 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: hard workers. So I'm excited to get back on the 173 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: field with the tomorrow you're much more you know, your 174 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: background is much more steeped in the college game, where 175 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: oh and three, um, you know is a disaster. You 176 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: know oh and three. You know, teams don't come out 177 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: of owen three. They may come out and have a 178 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 1: good year, but you know, rankings and bulls and things. 179 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Oh and three. You know, you kind of gotten to 180 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: feel of what the NFL is all about, where oh 181 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: and three is not good, but it's not you know, 182 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: there's no rankings, you know, so oh and three is 183 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: maybe not as devastating. It's bad, but it's not like 184 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: college where you're out of it almost. Uh. You know, 185 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: I take your point anything. Anytime I hear the word 186 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: oh to be beginning of a record, it never sounds 187 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: good to me. So I get and understand where you're saying. 188 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: I do think. Um, again, that's probably more in Joe's 189 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: lyne of thinking is Hey, you know where the NFL 190 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: is at right now after three weeks is and a 191 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: lot of times where it's gonna be in week twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. 192 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: You've seen it. Um, I really didn't see it until 193 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: I got into the NFL. So your wreck correct there. 194 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: But again, if we start thinking about that, we're gonna 195 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: lose sight of what Wednesday is. And and you know, 196 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: if Wednesday is good, you've got a really good chance 197 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: for Thursday to be good. If Thursday is good, Friday's 198 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: got an even better chance, you know. And then we 199 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: got to carry it forward into Sunday. Um, And you know, 200 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: we began to piece together some opportunities where we were 201 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: good for a couple of days in a row and 202 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: without a setback, but we haven't been able to get 203 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: over the hump on Sunday. So um, that's part of 204 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: the challenge. Um. None of us like to lose. None 205 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: of us, obviously are in this professional lose football games. 206 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: We're going to win. But if you have your guys 207 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: on a path that you know where they're going, that 208 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: that's the part that you really got to concentrate on. 209 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: And there's no other other, really, no other way to 210 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: look at it.
