Hey, look, you can't go with Michael Jackson. 86 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: Did you watch the first episode of Hard Knocks with 87 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: the lines at all?

What's the playbook been 104 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: like and how does it compare to what you kind 105 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: of did in college? Yeah? The playbook was at first 106 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: it was like, wow, this is this is tough. Um, 107 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: but you know, just extra studying. Um. You know a 108 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: lot of guys have been helping me with the playbooks. 109 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: So over over time, I kind of started learning, you know, 110 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: knowing what to you know, listen to what to hear. Um. 111 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: Not kind of I want to say, downpack, but I'm 112 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: pretty confident in myself. I go out there. Don't feel bad. 113 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: I've had eight year vets. Tell me, dude, this playbooks 114 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: a little bit rough, so don't worry about it. Um. So, 115 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: as you've gotten more comfortable, have you felt that you've 116 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: been able to unleash your running style a little bit more, 117 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: as you've kind of been able to react more than 118 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: think out there on the field. Yeah, definitely the comfort level. 119 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: You know, the more reps that you get, um, you're 120 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, you're more comfortable and you're able to be yourself. Um, 121 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: and you can make a lot of cuts, a lot 122 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: of reads that you want. You're not so tight. You 123 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: just not trying to mess up. So I think it's 124 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: over time, you know, getting more and more reps, and 125 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: I was gonna just be comfortable and just show everybody 126 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: what I can do. Giant fans gotta taste of what 127 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: you can do in the first preseason game. How would 128 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: you describe your running style and how you like you're 129 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: trying to go about your business once you have the 130 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: ball in your hands. Obviously, just a versatile, explosive guy. 131 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: You know, I can run the ball, catch the ball, um, 132 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: return kigs, anything that you know a coach asked for me, 133 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: I can do, you know, pass portech um and explosive. 134 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: One cut and I see the whole I hit it um. 135 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: I just have that kind of describes my playing style. 136 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Kind of all around bad who can do it all. 137 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny use the word explosive because when 138 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: we were talking about how you looked on the field 139 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: on Thursday, that that that's what we use too, because 140 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: it's it's beeding this quickness, but it's also power, right, 141 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: so you can run through warm tackles, and it seems 142 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: like you kind of combine those facets to to kind 143 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: of make you elusive. But you can run through contact 144 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: to right for sure. That's kind of Um, I guess 145 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: that's kind of been I guess god given you know, 146 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: I've always had that ever since I was you know, younger, Um. 147 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: Obviously getting stronger. Um. That kind of just enhanced my game. 148 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: So I kind of tried to work at everything because 149 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: I feel like when when you can master all things, 150 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: it's it's hard to stop. All Right. You mentioned two 151 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: other things that running backs have to be good at, right, 152 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: You talked about working in the past game you talk 153 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: about catching passes also pass protection. Right, if they can't 154 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: trust you to protect the quarterback, you're not gonna play, right. 155 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: So how was that aspect to communally? I think you 156 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: caught five passes right in the first preseason game. How's 157 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: the past for a part of that coming along? It's 158 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: becoming along great. Um. You know our defense, they especially 159 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: especially at practice, UM there it seems like it's a 160 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: blitz coming from everywhere, sex people coming from the sidelines. Um. 161 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: But just getting that look every day and the compete 162 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: with guys, you know, like I said, the more resks 163 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: that you get kind of more comfortable that you are. UM, 164 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: you kind of know what to look for. There as 165 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: certain tendencies that kind of help you out. UM. Obviously 166 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: just watching film, you know, watching the film on Cincinnati, 167 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: New England, whoever it is that the opponent is. UM. 168 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: Kind of watching film, studying who you're gonna against. That 169 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: kind of gives your idea of you know, what you're 170 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: gonna see when you play. And how about special teams. 171 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: You're talking about being a returner coverage stuff too, right, 172 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: that's how you can get on the fifty three if 173 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: you can contribute on all four teams, and you can, 174 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: you can work. Where have you been working on specials 175 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: besides in the returns game? Um? Pretty much everywhere wherever 176 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: you know coach Team Mac wants me to do. UM. 177 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: Now I'm willing to do it. Doesn't matter if he 178 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: tells me to go out there trying to kick a 179 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: field goal. I'm trying to do whatever, you know, I 180 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: can to help this team. So just kind of you know, 181 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: studying and maybe if you're not getting the rep, just 182 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: be on the sidelines and they're just watching nowhere, I 183 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: could be at UM just getting mental reps and then 184 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: when I go out there, you know, showcase the best 185 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: of my ability. Did you do a lot of special 186 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: teams at Florida State or no, I want to say 187 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: in the game, but obviously, like in practice, coaschner Ville, 188 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: he did a good job of you know, whether you're 189 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: a starter or whether you're fighting for a spot, you know, 190 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: everybody was at least gonna get a mental rep as 191 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: special team. So it's kind of been, um, a smooth 192 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: transition for me. All right. So let's look ahead now 193 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: preseason game number two coming up later this week on Sunday. 194 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: What are your goals? What are you trying to improve on? Act? 195 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: You look at the hate from Thursday and you're like, 196 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: all right, well I need to take a B and 197 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: C and try to get better with those things. Um, 198 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: I would just say just obviously getting more comfortable with 199 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: the speed of going against you know, just NFL competition. Um, 200 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: And they're just trying to improve, you know from last game. 201 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: You know you never wanna, um take steps back, you 202 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: always want to improve. So I guess just kind of, uh, 203 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: just improve my game and catching the ball, returning and 204 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: pass pro just everything that I did last game. Just 205 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: trying to be better, Um, you know, coming up. So 206 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I've been trying to improve. Anything 207 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: surprised you in your first NFL game, You're like, who, 208 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: I didn't expect that. I would say probably the speed 209 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: is just speed over, you know, your eyes getting adjusted 210 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: to you know how fast things are moving. And then 211 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: obviously just the first game, just the butterflies. I was 212 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: Obviously I always have butterflies every game, but this one 213 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: felt a little different. Um, But just like every other time, 214 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: once I get tackled, you make contact with somebody, it 215 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: goes away and it's just football. After that. You talk 216 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: about learning the pass pro because of the way Wink 217 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: runs his defense and practice, right, So I mean, let 218 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: me ask you this way. Does it help you because 219 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: you have to sink or swim or in some ways? 220 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: Are they throwing so much at you that sometimes maybe 221 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: you're drowning a little bit because you're trying to like 222 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: drink out of a fire hose. Right, it's just so 223 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: much coming at you and it's tough. So how does 224 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: that impact you're trying to learn that stuff when you're 225 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: going up against such an aggressive defense. Oh no, it 226 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: definitely helps because you know, you never know you know 227 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: what the defense is going to bring to you every week. 228 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: So seeing you know what Wink does is like you 229 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: pretty much have seen everything for the most part. So 230 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: I think it definitely helped, especially me, if I speak 231 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: for myself, definitely helped me, um in a big way. 232 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: I wanna asked about a couple of the young guys 233 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: in the room, give me give me something on Gary, 234 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: on Antonio and on Sandro. Have you been working together 235 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: and what you like about them is running backs. Yeah, 236 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: they're all like like me, and they can do everything 237 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: that you want, you know, catch the ball, run the ball. 238 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: You know, they play special teams, passportech, um, they prem 239 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: us you do every day. That's that's the great thing. 240 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: And then the best part is you know, we all 241 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: get along, we're all like trying to help each other, 242 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: all competing with each other, and then the day we're 243 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: all brothers.

What were your expectations when you 247 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: first met Brian Dable and how was that match the 248 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: reality I said my first expectation. I was like, I 249 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: was nervous. I was, I was nervous. I was just 250 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: like kind of stayed his way. You don't want to, 251 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know, just typical rookie things. But you know, 252 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: Coach Davis is an amazing coach. You know, he really 253 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: takes care of his players. Um, honestly, when it's time 254 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: to work, is we're gonna work. Um. But you know, 255 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: he really looks out for us and you could tell 256 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: that he actually cares for us as you know, human beings. 257 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: So uh, I love coach days and I was just 258 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: thankful to be here. Finally, the last question you asked, 259 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 1: you talked about the playbook houts complicated. Well, let's talk 260 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: about how that's gonna impact defenses that play you guys, right, 261 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: do you think defensive heads are gonna be spinning with 262 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: all the pre snap movement and all the different things 263 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: that you guys are gonna do.

You know, 269 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: it's hard to prepare for, so I think will be 270 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: it'll be a special to watch.

You know, when you're you know, second Sugar, 308 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: third Trinker, you gotta be a factor on special teams, right, 309 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: in that first preseason game, you were involved in a 310 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: couple of tackles. Were you smiling wide walking out of 311 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: that game, showing that, yeah, look, this is what I 312 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: can do on specials. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you know it 313 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: felt good to go out there and make plays on 314 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: special teams the same way. You know, I look at 315 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: special teams the same way I look at offense. You know, 316 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: if I can be productive on offense, it's a good day. 317 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: If I can be productive on special teams, it's a 318 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: good day. And luckily, you know, in that game, I 319 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: was productive on both. But going back to that special teams, 320 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: it feels good to run down on kickoff and and 321 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: trying to take somebody's head off every now and then. 322 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: So I definitely had a had a smile on my 323 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: face coming out the field.

Absolutely, 325 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, how about the running part of the game. 326 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: You broke some tackles, you ran the ball hard. I 327 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: know you had a bit of a cameo in the 328 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: one big game you had for the Bills last year. Right, 329 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: you have the two touchdowns in the game. How much 330 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: let's go back, how much of that game and your 331 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: performance in that game last year for the Bills give 332 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: you confidence that, yeah, when if I get the opportunity, 333 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: I can really do this. You know, having a good 334 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: game in the NFL is uh, what I've learned over 335 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: my three seasons in it is that you confidence is 336 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: key in this league, UM, and and believing in yourself 337 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: going out there and scoring a touchdown, going out there 338 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: and breaking some tackles, it changes a player, UM And realistically, 339 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: for me, it did carry over, is carried over ever 340 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: since that game is carried over My confidence and how 341 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I feel about myself on the field. Being a guy 342 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: that's undrafted, you have you're not you don't have as 343 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: many opportunities as guys that go in those early rounds. 344 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: So getting that confidence is key for a guy like me. 345 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: So you know that that game with the Bills that 346 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: I had those two touchdowns, and then this past one 347 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: with the Giants and everything, that's that's They're just rolling 348 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: off of each other. And I'm hoping to keep that going, 349 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: um and continue to produce for this team and help 350 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: this team in any way that I can. Alright, let's 351 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: talk about the preseason year. Then you head in what 352 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: were your goals heading into that game, and we're able 353 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: to achieve them. Yeah, the main goal for me was 354 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: just to show show the coaches and show the staff 355 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: that I can produce whenever I'm giving a chance, no 356 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: matter when that would be UM, late game, early game, 357 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: special teams, non special teams, whatever my opportunity was to 358 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: be on the field. I wanted to make it known 359 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: that I was on the field in that moment. And 360 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: I think I did a solid job at doing that, 361 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: and I hope to go and do it again this weekend. 362 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: Johnt fans gotta taste of it. How would you describe 363 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: your running style to Giant fans? Physical guy. I liked 364 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: to get downhill. Um, you know, I hope to hope 365 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: to break a few runs, show a few people my 366 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: speed and stuff so that I can I can outrun 367 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: some guys too. But but yeah, I'm a physical back 368 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I love I love grinding it in 369 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: trying to get those short yarders because I'm a guy 370 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: that thinks, you know, you might hit me one time, 371 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: but you gotta do it again, and you gotta do 372 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: it again, and I'm gonna come right back for yourself. 373 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: Now you can tell me I'm way off base here, 374 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: But you know I've been watching. I've been with the 375 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: Giants in two thousand seven, right, so I've been I've 376 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: watched a million practices. I have trouble judging running backs 377 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: off of these practices, right, because the whole biggest part 378 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: of running backs game guys are trying to tackle you, 379 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: and you're trying to stop from tackle on you. You 380 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: know what you can't do in practice, you can't tackle. 381 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: So is for you do you have to really get 382 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: in a game situation? You know, aside from knowing your 383 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: assignments right to show your ability or physical talent as 384 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: a running back? Do you have to show that in games? 385 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Is it hard to show them everything? You've got to practice? Yeah? 386 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: I think you can show flashes of it in practice 387 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: for sure. Um. You know, you can always tell when 388 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: a guy runs through a hole and he makes contact 389 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: with a backer, what could be in that situation. You know, 390 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: obviously we're not going to the ground most of the time, 391 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: but you know, usually you can kind of get a sense, um, 392 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: so kind of just showing flashes of that here and there, 393 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: and then in games that's when you let it loose 394 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: and and you know you could talk to coach Smith 395 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: about it. On game days, I'm I'm a super positive 396 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: person all the time, you can tell to anybody, But 397 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: on game days, I'm a different guy. And uh yeah, 398 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm a very angry guy on game days. Intensive Um, 399 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: But but I think that helps me unlock that physicality 400 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: that I've run with. Um it helps me feel like 401 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I'm the baddest man on the field, 402 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: and and if you're coming at me, you're gonna have 403 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: to bring everything you gotta, plus your boys on on 404 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: the side to try to save me down. That's how 405 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: I think. Now you're talking about running the ball, he 406 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: talked about special teams. The other thing is running back. 407 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: You gotta do is contribute in the past game, right, 408 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: You gotta catch the ball. More importantly, you gotta pass protect. 409 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: Where do you think you are in terms of that 410 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: and how did you show off in that area in 411 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: that first preseason game? Yeah? For sure, for sure. Past 412 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: protection is huge and understanding where your assignments are, where 413 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: they're coming from, the different looks defenses have, how safeties 414 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: can roll, all that type of stuff. It's kind of 415 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: idea and those things that's important. Um. I think I 416 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: did well in the past pro game. I wish I 417 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: would have did a little bit more with the catch 418 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: that I did have in the game. It's coming off 419 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: of a kick return and a few big runs a 420 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: little but but yeah, now hope hopefully I'll get to 421 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: show that a bit more of this game. I didn't 422 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: really have any any blitz is during the game, really, um, 423 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: and I had, you know, that one kitch, So hopefully 424 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: I can do that a bit more this week. Were 425 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: you leaving the game like, wait, wait, wait, other teams 426 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: don't blitz sis, like our defense doesn't practice. Oh my gosh, 427 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: let me tell you it was. It was so funny 428 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: because you get so used to trying to distinguish the 429 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: blitzes coming from our complex defense and then you know 430 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: the preseason, so I guess you could call it vanilla. Um, 431 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: and the guys are just if they show it, they're 432 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: coming from there. Usually you gotta kind of look around, 433 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: what we what we're doing right now? But but yeah, 434 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: it was pretty vanilla. So um, hopefully Cincinnati kind of 435 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: does the same thing, looking good on film and everything. 436 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: But I can go do that, you know, I was 437 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: talking to about this too, how much just going up 438 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: against that defense and everything they throw at you really 439 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: help you prepare for what you're going to see in 440 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: a regular season game. Yeah, No, that's that's huge our defense. 441 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know of a lot of other 442 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: teams that are doing what we're doing right now on 443 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: defense as far as as far as that. And luckily, 444 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: like you know, I've been in the league, so I've 445 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: seen a good bit of defenses and that's a that's 446 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: a tough one for sure. So um going against that 447 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: every day, I think that will benefit our team in 448 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: the long run. You know, Like I said, if we 449 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: can get that one down, if we can take care 450 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: of that, I think we'll be We'll be pretty pretty 451 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: stout this season. You talked about your physical style, liking 452 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: to deliver hits on special teams. Does that help you 453 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: with with with past pro because and a lot of 454 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: that is willingness, right Well, you know you've got a 455 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: guy that probably how ways you buy thirty pounds forty 456 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: pounds sometimes and you just kind of have to anchor 457 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: on the edge, right for sure. For sure, you gotta 458 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: stick your facing there and and be willing to take 459 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: your head and deliver. At the same time. A lot 460 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: of guys in this league. You've got some really good 461 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: guys that are good with their hands, so trying to 462 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: get make that contact before they're able to move their 463 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: make their moves. That's important. Also, you've got the bull rushers, 464 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: and those are the ones I enjoy because I'm like, 465 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: come on, let's do it, you know, come on, come 466 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: on straight downhill. But uh but no, but yeah, that 467 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: that's that's the key thing in past block and being 468 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: able to stick your facing there and be physical with 469 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 1: all you mentioned. How you know you're familiar with what 470 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: Brian David wants to do because you're obviously with him 471 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: in Buffalo last year. How similar in the end is 472 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 1: the offense you guys are running now compared to what 473 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: you guys did in Buffalo, because you know, my calf 474 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: has kind of add a little bit of juice in 475 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: there too, doing some different things. Yeah, it's a mixed 476 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: They've done a great job of kind of integrating everything 477 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: together between what Kafico wants and what Dave's wants and um, 478 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: you know some terminology is the same, things different, but 479 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, it's it's a mix. 480 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: We've got two really great offensive minds at the top 481 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: calling our plays and as a as an officive player, 482 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,479 Speaker 1: I don't think you could ask for much more than 483 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: those two guys calling it for you right now. Do 484 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: you get a sense of the type of mismatches and 485 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: different issues you can give defensives based on the type 486 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: of things you guys are doing offensive way? Oh yeah, 487 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely. I luckily I learned that in Buffalo with 488 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: with the stuff that we did UM and now with 489 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: what kaf because I added to it and the ideas 490 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: he has. Then you've seeing what they did in kse 491 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: UM and now you're like, goodness, gracious, you know, if 492 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: we get this thing clicking, nobody's gonna be able to 493 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: match up. And realistically, because we're gonna try to, what 494 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: they do is they'll find those matchups on the field 495 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: that that just don't add up UM, and we take 496 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: advantage of it. That's the game of football. You you 497 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: find the weakness and you're attacking, and you attacking, and 498 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: you attacking it to they fix it. Usually when they 499 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: fix it, there's another one that pops up on the 500 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: other side. So that's what they're really good at. We 501 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: talked to Colin Johnson and a bunch of the receivers 502 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: about pre snap motion last week, how it impacts the 503 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: receiver position. How does that jet sueet motion help you right, 504 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: because you have that flash in front of you, maybe 505 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: linebackers eyes was maybe their feeding feet even move right, 506 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: but then you're getting the hand off. Can you tell 507 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: me about talk to me about how some of that 508 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: pre styp motion can help open up things in the 509 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: running game for your group. Yeah. Yeah, football is nothing 510 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: but a game of angles realistically, and and we can 511 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: if we can get those linebackers to take a step 512 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: to the right when we're trying to go lift, you know, 513 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: that will let those linemen work up and secure that 514 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: edge a little bit, a little bit better for us 515 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: to see. So, um, you know, football is nothing but angles. 516 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: If we can change those the trajectory where they're moving 517 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: and everything, you know, it's it's good for us. So 518 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: the emotions, I love them, you know we don't We 519 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: motion here and there out of the backfield, go to 520 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: empty sometimes come back, all that stuff. But at the 521 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: same time, those receiver emotions are key. You know, it 522 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: tells us if there's a blitz coming from certain size 523 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: that you know, safety's rotation linebacker about man and man 524 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: coverage on whatever it is. You know, those emotions are key. 525 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: How much has your knowledge of this offense with Brian 526 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: Deable wants helped you kind of hit the ground with 527 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: your feet going when you got here in the spring. 528 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: It was it was it was very nice to uh 529 00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: to not have to you know, learn a completely new offense. Um. 530 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: But at the same time, like I said, Calf added 531 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: his his stuff. But but it was good, it was good. Uh. 532 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: I think I was able to hit the ground running. 533 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: I think I didn't really miss a step from when 534 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: I came from Buffalo. Um, so I was able to 535 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: step in and contribute the way that I have so far. 536 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: You know, even talking to Vets, I was talking to 537 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Stoling Shepherd back in Boy, what was it June, and 538 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 1: he goes this playbook, it's it's it's thick man, like, 539 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: this is the same easy stuff. So did you find 540 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: yourself like almost like being like half an assistant coach 541 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: in the running back room trying to tell these guys 542 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: like the little nuances of all these plays. Yeah, absolutely, 543 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: you gotta because the plays are very complex. This is 544 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: a complex playbook and for me learning it, my rookie 545 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: year was COVID year. Um, so, so we had I 546 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: had learned all this stuff over zoom man. So what 547 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: I did was I was at my dad's house back 548 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and I had the playbook and I said, Hey, 549 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in the room for a few days, 550 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: probably I gotta learned this play book. And it was 551 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: about three days that I just stayed in the room 552 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: and I just made flash cars, went over to places, 553 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: went over players until I remember. I to a point 554 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: where if I hear a word that is one of 555 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: our play calls, I just think of that play immediately, 556 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: you know. So, um, you know, you really have to 557 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: diverge yourself into the playbook and kind of get an 558 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: understanding of, uh, you know why the play is what 559 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: it is? What it you know, where where people are? 560 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: You know why you're running this concepts right, very very 561 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: much concept based, because if you can understand the concept, 562 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: you'll do your job better. All right, So I guess 563 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna follow up then, and I think you kind 564 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: of half answered it already. So the language is a 565 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: little bit different, right, There's a lot of words, and 566 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: it's it's it's wordy. But the concepts. How much of 567 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 1: these concepts are almost optional based on what the defense 568 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: shows you. Is that what makes the playbook complicated that 569 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: you guys have options? What is it that kind of 570 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: makes it so hard to to to kind of get 571 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: this to click. Yeah, the playbook is basically um. You know, 572 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: each play has different plays within the play basically um. 573 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: And that's that's how you have to be because you 574 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: don't know if they're coming out in zone or man 575 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: right now. So basically everything has those adjustments, those options, 576 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: those hot routes, those whatever we need in that moment 577 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: within those plays, and then you've got five hundred of 578 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: them sid So you know, that's that's what makes it complicated. Man, all, 579 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: I want to focus it on the run game before 580 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: we say goodbye right now, from what I watching the 581 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: first game, watching back the game, you guys are running 582 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: a really big mix or some power, there's some zone. 583 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of different run concepts, and I know 584 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: it takes some time sometimes with the running backs in 585 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line to kind of feel each other out. 586 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: Is there an area where you guys where you think 587 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: you're a little bit more comfortable now with the zone 588 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: or power or do you think the whole thing is 589 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 1: coming together. Yeah, yeah, realistically, I think we can. We're 590 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: pretty good at everything right now, um, and I think 591 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: we're still figuring out what we're best at. UM. I 592 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: think this past the game definitely show that we can 593 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: hit outside zones. We can hit you know, inside zones, 594 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: you know, duos, powers, whatever we want to hit. Um. 595 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: But right now, it's like, what do we want to 596 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: be as a team, you know, what do we want 597 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: to be in the running game? And I think that's 598 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: key and I think we're gonna continue to uh look 599 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: into that and see what we're best at. But at 600 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: the same time, if we're good at everything, and that's 601 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: even more dangerous, you know, as an offense. Just you know, 602 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: we want to run outside that we're gonna do it. 603 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: If you want to run inside and we're gonna do it. Um, 604 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: you line up over there. You've got to stop us 605 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: from doing it. That's that's our mind set. And if 606 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: we can, if we can keep that going, you know, 607 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: I mean, who's going to stop it? You know? Final question, 608 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: what are your goals for the preseason game coming up 609 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: on Sunday? Just go and beat Sensey Man, go and 610 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: beat Sensey. And uh and and enjoy it. This will 611 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: be my first time playing in this stadium. Um, so 612 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: that'll be exciting. I'm excited to see how the fans 613 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: and you can't wait to just to get out there 614 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: on the field.

Were a 623 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: lot of the younger players on this roster, like a 624 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: Shawan Corbyn, like Antonio Williams, will have a chance to 625 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: show this coaching staff what they can do. And we 626 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: did hear from Brian Dable earlier in this week that 627 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: the guys that perform well and play well, whether it's 628 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: in practice or games, will get more playing time and 629 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: they will get more opportunity.

As they 641 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: try to figure that out on what the Giants final 642 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: fifty three is going to look like, but again, it 643 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: will be a lot of competition at a lot of 644 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: different positions. Brian Dable and Joe Shane are trying to 645 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: figure out what they want this roster to look like, 646 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 1: what's in important to them. The Giants also navigating injuries 647 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: at different positions as well. So we'll see what guys 648 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: can step up in the game on Sunday and show 649 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: this coaching staff in front office that yeah, we belong, 650 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: we need to be on this final fifty three as 651 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: the Giants trying to narrow down some of their decision 652 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: making as the preseason rolls on.
