1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: As different record, he joins us. We're just waiting for

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: someone to raise your hand to ask the question. Go ahead, Mark, Sorry,

3
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't find my mutant button there, so looking mistake.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: I've only been doing this for over a year. Devin

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: Hope Paul as well. I think just you know, first,

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you about your reaction just

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: to the cam, you know, being out. Uh. I think

8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: for us it's just it is what it is. I mean,

9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: it's football or used to guys being in and out

10
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: with injuries and different things like that. So um, I

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: know it's cliche and we've set it around here for

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: for years, but it's next man up. It's everybody doing

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: what they gotta do, and I think handling what they

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: have control over and just going about it that way.

15
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: And and when when Mac takes the book the reps,

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: does anything change from your standpoint, does anything change for

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: the defense? No? I mean, and I would say too

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: in this stage of the season and training camp. I

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: know you guys like with the quarterbacks, like I'm sure

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: you guys chart like all the reps and everything, Oh yeah,

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: or us, you know, it's just who's in that quarterback?

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: What do they do well, how does it change our defense?

23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: I think that's what it comes down to. So, um,

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: that's what we pay attention to. Like we're not you know,

25
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: I don't pay attention who takes more reps with this

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: guy or that guy. I'll leave that to you guys

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff. But for us, I think it

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: was just going out there playing defense, doing what we

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: know I'm really doing, adjusting to whoever is in that quarterback,

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: whether it be Mac or who. Thanks man. My next

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: question Alex Bart fall back Chris Gasper, Hey, Devin, I

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: know the Giants have a few of your former teammates,

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: specifically Logan, Ryan, somebody I know you you had a

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: relationship with. You know, when a guy like that leaves,

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: do you still kind of follow what he's doing and

36
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to him uh this week? Uh yeah,

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: I pay attention to all the nonsense that Logan talks.

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: He's uh, now that's my guy. We we uh we

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: talk all the time, and it was fun. I think

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: even last year when he went to New York and

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: was playing uh predominantly safety, we talked a lot about

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: you know, scheme and defense, um, playing different things in

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: a certain way. So him and Duran have been you know,

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: two guys that came into Rutgers as freshman when I

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: was a senior, and since then, I've been talking to

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: those guys all the time. They pushed me, I pushed

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: him to get better. So it'll be fun, uh talking

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: trash to him. You know, he's a he's a guy

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: that's been I think, a real leader for them from

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: a defense, from the defensive side and team. Why so

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: it'll be fun going back against him. And you know

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: obviously all the guys in New York with Judge kind

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: of leading them and coming back to the New England area. Cool.

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next question Chris gasper Hold by Chris Ryan Heydev.

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: How are you doing, dude? How are you doing? Good man? Good? Um?

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the next man up saying you guys

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: have that motto. You guys also have another motto, which

58
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: is dependability is more important than ability, And so how

59
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: does that fit into Cam not being available here? We

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: know from the five day intake that's only for players

61
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: who aren't vaccinated, So how does that fit into the

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: messaging that you guys have as a team about getting

63
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: vaccinated or not getting vaccinated? At this point, Um, I

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: think I think I've said it a lot. You know,

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: two guys on a little video that me and Slade did.

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Vaccinations is a personal decision, so that's up to each individual. Um.

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: And as far as like how to team views that

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: and how we go forward, that's a that's a Bill

69
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Belichick question. I feel like he would tee that up

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: and knock that out of the park. So I'm gonna

71
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: leave that for Bill and let him handle that. I'll

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: just as a quick follow up on it, and you

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: can defer this wanting to build too, And obviously I

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: agree with you. Vaccination is an individual decision, but as

75
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: we saw today, it does have consequences for the team.

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: So how do you guys balance that? I think we

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: just got to take it astro and I mean, it

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: kind of is what it is, and it's what I

79
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: think anything we do. I think you know what you guys,

80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 1: or what you do for a living. I'm sure there's

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: things that make sense, and then there's other things that

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: you have to do that doesn't make a lot of sense.

83
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it is what

84
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: it is. You know, you have to bide by whatever

85
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: it is that you know you're being asked to do

86
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: or you know, however you want to see it, the

87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: rules or whatever, and then we just go from there.

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's what each guy's going to do

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, take care of what

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: they can control. And you know, however that kind of

91
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: turns out for us, we'll be what it is. But um,

92
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: guys were out there on the practice field today. You

93
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: guys saw putting in the word getting better, and I

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: think that's the key this time of the year. We

95
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: got to keep doing that. Thanks to appreciate it, no problem.

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Our next question Chris Ryan, followed by Mike Charity Death.

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: How are you hope all as well? Same for you.

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: Wanted to get your sense on where the defense is

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: at as a hold on in this final preseason matchup,

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: and how do you go about, you know, evaluating readiness

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: as a group not just a secondary in heading into

102
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the regular season a couple of weeks. Consistency, I think

103
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: that's what it comes down to, not just I mean,

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think everyone sees us in the games,

105
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: but you know, for you guys, I've seen in trying

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: to campus a day in and day out. Think it's

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: defensively coming out each day and having the same mentality

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: and having the same focus to do what you need

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: to do as a defense. Like if you want to

110
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: be a good defense and be a dominating defense, it's

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: not something you can turn on and off. So I

112
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: think for us, it's just trying to continue to build

113
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: that consistency. And I think through that you put in

114
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: depth and all of that. It's each group that goes

115
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: out there having the same mentality. I think we've been

116
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: working and towards that. I thought last week was huge

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: to go you know, travel to Philly, have to go drive,

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, travel down there, wake up the next day,

119
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: go out there and practice, then go right back at

120
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: it the next day, and then you know, take a

121
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: day off from that and then get into the game.

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: That was kind of a regular season mode of traveling somewhere,

123
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: playing them away games. So now we'll have another week,

124
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: two days of practice. Now, then the Giants will come

125
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: in for two days of practice. Like, how can we

126
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: stay consistent each time we step on the field. Is

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: what it comes down to, not really taking time to

128
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: sit back and say, you know, we do this well,

129
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: we do Like that's not important right now, Let's just

130
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: keep getting better and trying to play the same wage

131
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: time we take the field. When I ask you about

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: the linebacking corps as well, particularly Joan Bentley and Matthew Judon,

133
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: what does their addition at Bentley being available hopefully for

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: the whole year and continue to grow, and Judon's addition

135
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: and high Tower being back mean for this secondary as well,

136
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: and the strength at the secondary, Yeah, I mean it's

137
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: been great. I think when you you name those guys

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: and I throw Kvive Vanoy in there too, very versatile

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: group that can do a lot of different things. And

140
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: I know, you know, even for us sometimes I gotta

141
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: ask in the secondary like who's playing what position and

142
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: where they are because all of those guys can do

143
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: so many different things on the football field. And you

144
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: put that in with our secondary and guys like Ap

145
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: and guys like Doug who also are very versatile and

146
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: doing different things, and Jay Mills, it's tough for defenses

147
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: to know where we're gonna line up, who's gonna be where.

148
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: So we got to just use that to our advantage.

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: Communication knowing what we gotta do each play and who's who.

150
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I think those are things that will have to continue

151
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: to work on throughout the season. That won't be like

152
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: something that we get down in training camp with a

153
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: last us. It's a weekend, day in, day out thing

154
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: that we always got to work at. Thanks step Oh

155
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: problem and last question, Mike Jerry, Good afternoon, Devin. Hey MIKEE.

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I was wondering, you know you you say you only

157
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: worry about who's on the field, and you know you're

158
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: not measuring this guy or that guy. But last year

159
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you went up against the receiving corps that struggled at times.

160
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm curious what you see from this group. Can you

161
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: feel sort of that upgrade and talent and and and

162
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: weaponry that that has been added to the roster. Yeah,

163
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I think anytime you're older guys fun to watch young guys.

164
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: You can look at Jakobe, you look at nikkiel came

165
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: in here, young guys and you've just seen them get better.

166
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: I think you guys have seen that watching. Just the consistency.

167
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's all about being an NFL player.

168
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: I think when you watch guys, you know, no matter

169
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: what you are, first year or second year, like, you

170
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: see talent, you'll see a guy make a play where

171
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: you're like man, that's a that's a great play, But

172
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: it comes down to consistency. How how do we know

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: we can count on you each day to be open

174
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: to be where you need to be. UM. I think

175
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: that's what you've seen, you know, those two guys in

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: particular grow and do those things. And then I think

177
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: you look at Christian Wolkerson's coming and had a great

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: camp of you know, the same thing showing up being

179
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. And then obviously adding KB

180
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: and Nellie has been great veteran guys who I think

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: bring a certain work ethic and they bring knowledge from

182
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: another system. They've been in the league for a couple

183
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: of years now, So anytime you can add veteran players,

184
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it helps young guys and it helps you grow. UM.

185
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: And then I also throw in, you know, adding Hunter

186
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: and John Newer, guys that understand the passing game, tight

187
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: end position, how to work with quarterbacks like they've played

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: with different quarterbacks, you know, especially Hunter playing what a

189
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: guy like Rivers in San Diego for so long, you

190
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: just learn. And I think that group has been very

191
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: eager and urgent to learn as much as possible and

192
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: they want to be better. They want to be good

193
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: each day, so it's been competitive and I think that's

194
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: what's fun. And that's what I love about truning practice.

195
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Like we go at through each other every day in

196
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: training camp, and it gives us a time to cheer

197
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: those guys on or route them on and see how

198
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: we're getting each other better. And I think that showed

199
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: up some down in Philly, and we needed to continue

200
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: to show up if I could quickly follow. Born is

201
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: like a ball of energy out there, and he seems

202
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: like he he talks a lot. I know we were

203
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: talking about Cam Newton. He said when he first came in,

204
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: he's running for touchdowns when we know we've tackled him.

205
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: He's Born one of those guys that you're like, I'm

206
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: trying to figure this guy out a little bit because

207
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: he could use a good, you know, shot to the

208
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: rip chage here to make him slow down a little bit. Yeah,

209
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: KB is writing that Cam Newton energy, ball of energy,

210
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: and I would throw Jude on has balked out a

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: little bit to the defensive side of the ball. So

212
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: guys like that you need on the team. You need

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: guys like a daylight today where it's hot. This whole

214
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: week's supposed to be hot. You need guys that are

215
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna be out there energy, yelling, screaming, talking, trash. I

216
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: think that's what football is about, especially training camp as

217
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: you get into I guess this is like week three

218
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: or four training camp, um where you need you need

219
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: guys to kind of get it going because you know

220
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: the end of training camp is coming, but like the

221
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: season is just beginning, so we just got to stay

222
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: at it. And you know, guys like KB cam June,

223
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: like those guys help out a lot just with what

224
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: they bring day in and day out. Thanks Ste, appreciate

225
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: you guys have to go on. Thank you, David,
