WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jordan Hicks

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's get it. I see the same thing I asked.

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's just how there's a team work to finish a game.

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>What do you have it kind of in your grasp? Um,

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it's part of the mature, the maturation of

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.880
<v Speaker 1>this this team, um, you know. But but for us,

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>we expect to finish those games. And just as Fletch said,

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it comes down to the little details at

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the end and sticking together because you can't do it alone.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's it's a in order to finish those games,

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>we're gotta we've got to be on point in each phase, um,

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it takes all of us. So I

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>think it's falling back on our on the basics, falling

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>back on the techniques, and you know what gets us

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>into that situation, um, and then just sticking together. You know,

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>it's confidence. You gotta confidence has to go through the

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>roof at that point and know that you're going to

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>finish the game, um, instead of just you know, playing

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>out to lose yours, which is teams Thomas lovel you

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>lost you last for a couple of divisional lasses now

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>as well doing in a divisional commas officers. Right now,

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>we've We've got our confidences high. Um, We've seen how

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>good we can be UM against some of the best

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>teams in the NFL. You know, so we believe that,

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, no matter what game will no matter what

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>game we we enter into, no matter our opponent, we're

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously gonna have a chance to win. UM. And that's

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you know for us, UM as big as anything. You know,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>we're confident in the fact that we can get the

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>job done no matter who we're going against. And UM,

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't I don't think that's wavered at all.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's spend your impressions to the Giants offense from what

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you've seen on film, UM, well, they do a good job.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Eli does a good job getting the ball out. UM.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's pretty opposite of what we've seen UM

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>as of late in the fact that you know, if

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>he sees blitz, if he sees pressure, UM or you know,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>anything open, now he's getting to that person. UM. So

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously you know, for them, the offense runs through them

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>and their playmakers on the wide out and ultimately for us,

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 1>you know they can run the ball. They're gonna run

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>the ball. So as I say every single week, stop

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the run then we can get after after you lie.

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Jim has blitzed a lot more the last two weeks

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>than you guys have blitzed previously. Um, it's been effective.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Have you enjoyed the Yeah, I mean we've been putting

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback in a tough position, you know, and it, um,

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, you've got to be able to handle the

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 1>pressure and make quick decisions. And that's what you know,

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we've been trying to trying to force them to do,

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>trying to force the hand that way. So obviously it's

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it's worked the past couple of weeks, Um, but you know,

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>game plans changed, you know, weekend and week out. So

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>whenever he calls, you know, blitz up, it's good for us.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Your last three in the rome of the lost real

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the road. How much of a kind of emphasis has

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that been this week to kind of the same effort

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>up there as you have a delay. Yeah, I mean

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 1>you hear it. You hear the fact that we got

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to win on the road, especially because it's a visional

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>game and it's like, you know, it's a game we

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>have to win, um, you know, with our backs up

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>against the ropes, um, you know, and with that being

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the situation. You hear it, but your mentality has to

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>ultimately stay the same. The moment your mentality waivers at

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>all is the moment you're gonna get exposed. So you

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>try to keep it consistent throughout the week. But you know,

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>our backs are up against the rope and we've got

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to we've got to respond. So a good a group

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of receivers as you've seen this season from the unread Yeah,

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>absolutely absolutely. Um, you know they've got playmakers that you

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>know obviously they like to get the ball out quick,

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>but guys that can stretch the field as well. So, um,

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll be all right, We'll be ready. Dale

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>is a guy who you can get in his head

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>as a defender, and he's got this reputation now around

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the league, had some incidents earlier this season. You see,

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>not focus on him. We're focused on ourselves, focus on

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>what we need to do to contain. Um. You know

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>their offense and you know it's not about Odell, it's

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>about us as far as Eli and it's released. You

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>mentioned how quick it is, how difficult. Does that make

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>it foolier or subways doesn't make it easier because you

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>know the goals getting out quickly. I mean, doesn't necessarily

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>make it easier or harder. It just changed the game plan,

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>changes the way you attack their offense. Um. You know,

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's not a it's not a gauge of

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 1>how easy or how how difficult it is. You know,

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just just changes it up. When Tom Coughlin was

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a coach there, when the running game would struggle, they

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>still they still ran the ball, you know, to keep

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>some credibility to their play action. They're not doing that

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>quite as much with Macado. I think they're only averaging

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>about twenty one carries a game so far. They've kind

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.919
<v Speaker 1>of they go to the past quickly. How is that

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more helpful to you guys at linebacker

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as their play action game, Yeah, I mean

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it is. But at the same at the same time, Um,

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>like I said earlier, you know, if they have success

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>earlier running the ball, they're gonna keep doing it. Um,

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 1>So emphasis has to be on containing that early and

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>forcing their hand. Um. You know, if they if you

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>know they've they've got you know, you watched watched their runs.

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>They've been they've had a few that spit out, you know,

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and and uh so you know, in order for us

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to stop it, we're gonna have to be pretty silent,

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>so cool. Thanks guys,
