1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: How um has just transitioned this year. It's been It's

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: been good. It's been a different uh all season for me. Uh.

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, I had my injury obviously, and I had

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: to go to rehab, had to go through being released

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: from a team and picked up by Giants, and uh,

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's an new experience for me. But you know,

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: great learning opportunity and I feel like it's it's been

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: great so far. You have a past history with Joe Judge,

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, Um, you gotta see a lot of winning together,

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: you know. Um, how does that effect with chapping um?

11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: She um? Really familiarity and just me knowing expectations, you know,

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: knowing that we have to, you know, put in work

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: and knowing why I'm here and why you know, the

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: rest of us are hire. You know, everybody has a

15
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: role and everybody has to come to work with the

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: same mindset and doing doing your job. So I feel

17
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: like it's just familiarity, you know, being comfortable here made

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: it easier to be comfortable. He didn't run the show

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that he be man, especially like he didn't on the show,

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: So was he the same? What you what you knew

21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: about him then and what you know about what you're

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: seeing now as head coach, he's it more of that.

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: It's a different you know, it's because it's a different

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: thing now he runs everything. Um. I think Judge is

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: this great guy man. He's just the same person really,

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Like he always had energy, always had that fiery iness

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: about him. Um. He's like one of the guys that

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you just want to play for, you know, you don't

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: want to let down. Um. I was on field goal

30
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: for him and I messed epicode times and you know,

31
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: I hated that I did that, you know, and try

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: to get back on field though, you know, trying to

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: prove myself and stuff. But now seeing him as the

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: head coach is awesome. You know, he's hard working coach

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: and really cares about football and winning and just the guys,

36
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, getting everybody on one page. Me. Yeah, I

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: mean that's my job. I'm here to play where you

38
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: need me, you know. So, Um, I'm just excited to

39
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: have this opportunity. Does the environment here reminds me of

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: what it was like in New England at all, just

41
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the way that kind of programs run. Um, yeah, I

42
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: think it's very similar. But uh, I just like you know,

43
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: just being out here and UM. The honestly, it's just

44
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: the players for me, like seeing everybody brought in to

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: the system and UM young and high energy. It's it's

46
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: a great feelings like fun. Yeah, I definitely, Uh think

47
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: in our room is UM a lot of talent and

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who want to work and UM,

49
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes our room fun, is that,

50
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're constantly competing and wanting to be better

51
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: and wanting to grow. How much about his name around here?

52
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: UM now very few, but he obviously he's a great player,

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, UM earned his his contract and UM. You know,

54
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: really we've just been focused on this season and building

55
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: this team and UM getting ready for you know, pads

56
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: coming up. You know. So it's it's really just everybody

57
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: working and everybody getting better. His his absence is one

58
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: of the reasons you're here, maybe one of the main

59
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: reasons you're here. So do you look at it that way?

60
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he gave them something for four

61
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: years and now they need someone to do that again. UM.

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: The way I look at is I got an opportunity

63
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: to work, you know, so coming in and wherever they

64
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: need me, you know, I'm gonna be ready. Um, that's

65
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: me getting in the playbook, me getting the weight room,

66
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: cardio conditioning. You know, I'm just gonna do everything I

67
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: can to get on the field and help the team win.

68
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean people would look at you and think you're

69
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the guys got stuff to run in the middle. Do

70
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: you see yourself as more than that? Yeah, I mean

71
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: that's what I You know, work too, you know, I

72
