1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Your thought process on on why the Giants, and uh,

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: the challenge of coming in is kind of a veteran

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: corner on what's a pretty young growth. A lot of johns.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Um you know of course the city of New York,

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: all the opportunities they have on an office fell and um,

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: how familiar with the gentleman and the coach he's found

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: is still in that locker room and uh, you know,

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to being a part of it. And

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: uh what I what I can bring in to the

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: locker room. I just feel like I can bring my

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: overall and I was of the game. I can help

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the younger guys in the deep room get better. Um,

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: my experience for the most far, I'm gonna bring to

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: the game. James is Tom Ross from Newsday. Uh, you

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: talked about Dave Gentleman. You know obviously you guys have

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: a relationship that goes back to what he drafted you. Uh,

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: can you just talk a little bit about what the

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: conversations were like this time around as as he was

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: recruiting again. Well, honestly, he's he's reached out to my agent.

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I really didn't talk to Gentleman. You know, they came

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: out of nowhere it made an offer to him. I

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 1: didn't even expect him to come make an offer. Um,

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: but all knew he already new the type of guy

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: was an already new the type of guy. He was

25
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: already knew what kind of program you're trying to organization

26
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: he was trying to bring and then stay over there

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: in New York. So, UM, I knew it was nothing

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: a positive. Hey, James, is Paul Schwartz in the New

29
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: York I'm good? How about you? Good? Thank you? Um.

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: You know one of the reasons obviously that giants wanted you, Um,

31
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: even though you're only twenty six, they need a veteran

32
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: in the room. I mean, just because you've four years

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you know, naturally you be a leader.

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: What do you think you can do? What do you

35
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: think they saw in you with these young cornerbacks that

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: you can help them other than be a good cornerback yourself. Uh? Well, gentleman, UM,

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: I feel like you told me. Of course he saw

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: me a close and personal my first year and then

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: after that you saw me from my father. But I

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: think he saw me improved each and every year, and um,

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: in order and to improve, you know, you gotta be

42
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: able to take knowledge and apply it on the field.

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: And um, that's what I want to do for the

44
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: younger guys. I want to give a knowledge I hopefully

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: they can apply them to Hey, James, this is Dan

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Duggins from the Athletic. Um. You know, I think the

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: expectation is that the defense can play a lot of

48
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: man defense. Um, a man coverage. I'm curious you and

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: how did that figure strength? And was that a feeling

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: to you? Uh? So, I'll see myself as a verse

51
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: of the corner and I play zone. I'd play man,

52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: so I was down for whatever. You know, I'm man,

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: of course, playing a lot of man with the chanlenge

54
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: for any cornerback and um, I'm always willing to accept

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: the challenge. James back Rosen blast from and Jed dot Com.

56
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: What what what was it like going into cre agency

57
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: with all the stuff that's going on to coronavirus and

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: everybody being quarantine and then you know, even if the

59
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks probably not really being able to

60
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: work out outside of here on the home, Like, what

61
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: what's that been like for you? Well, initially rage was

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty smooth, of course, to the coronavirus and stuff came

63
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: came around. Um so when I initially, you know, when

64
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: he became a christianer, I found with the team and

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I was choosing to go with the John's. You know,

66
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: it didn't hit me yet, and I don't think it's

67
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: still has hit me yet. But it's like that we

68
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: get everything figured out, the coronavirus, everyone safe and whatnot.

69
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: It's lucky to hit me instead of the when I'm

70
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: able to come up to disit. You haven't met with

71
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: anybody in person. You haven't been up to the facility

72
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Right, No, so you're you're training.

73
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Where where are you all right now? I mean Charlotte, UM,

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: my training kind of he's come to a halt because,

75
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: you know, trying to keep your social distance, UM, trying

76
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to keep just safe distance from everyone, make sure you're

77
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: not spreading the virus or contracting the virus. But I've

78
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: been working out here and they're trying to get it

79
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: in by any means. Thank you. Hey, James, what are

80
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: your first I questions of Joe Judge as as a

81
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: head coach and mere conversations with them, and um, you

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: know you talked about the culture they want to build

83
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Now, Um, what specifically did they talked

84
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: to you about that. I'm talking a little bit after

85
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: a fund and um, it was a positive conversation. You know,

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: we didn't really talk about football the whole lot. We're

87
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: just talking about his life was going on now in

88
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the world, and he was just telling me that the

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: postponed and O T A. S. And I was gonna

90
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: figure out football atter on, but right now I was

91
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: just gonna worry about what's going on in the world,

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: this coronavirus. Jane Hides Patricia traina sports illustrata. I'm just

93
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: wondering if you've ever had the opportunity in your career

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 1: to service kind of like that mentor of a young group,

95
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: and if so, how that kind of went for you

96
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: with balancing the mentoring them as well as being the

97
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: best player you could be in my career, like including

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: college and high school or just in yeah, NFL specifically,

99
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: but if you had some college or high school mentoring

100
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: that would work. Um, I just talked about the NFL.

101
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: So my third year went down to Jason King, and

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: of course he was already on the athlete. I didn't

103
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: really have to post him up on that, and his

104
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: technique was curb justly because he plays by first man. Um.

105
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: So for me, I was just trying to help him

106
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: just learn how to break down film and watch film

107
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: and just make sure I stay on top of about

108
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: watching them, because how you anticipate routes uh within zone coverage.

109
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like he improved in that going into

110
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: his second year. Of course he had a fanned out

111
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: rookie year and uh, I feel like that was that

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: was all the tribute to his talents and I helped

113
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: out a little bit here near Hey, James, it's uh,

114
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: it's Charles McDonald. What experiences did you take from playing

115
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: the MFU side against Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Chris Scott Win,

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: all those guys that you can take wish you to

117
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: New York? Like, how did those guys help make you

118
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: a better player in competition? Of course, the competition, you know,

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: going against the best, Uh, of course it will help

120
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: you improve your skill. But just watching to him, you

121
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: know those guys are up to here like your one guy,

122
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: and um, I knew I had to be on my

123
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: a game every time I faced him, and I had

124
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: to watch my films out the week. So it made

125
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: me very be illstant with my film study and I

126
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: just take a part time, you know, just make sure

127
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: I put the time in so I can fall out

128
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: on Sundays. In your opinion, who's the Who's the best

129
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: receiving that? I actually I feel like Ruio Jones the

130
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: best receiver. But I mean all those guys will a

131
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: lead Michael toom Is, Mike Evans, Um, they're not too

132
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: far behind that guy. Games obviously, nobody knows what the

133
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: next few weeks or the next few months are gonna

134
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: bring because of COVID. I'm just wondering, you know, are

135
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: you how are you going to kind of, like I guess,

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: get a jump start on what the Giants were given

137
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: that they have a new coaching staff. You know, Pat Graham,

138
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. He obviously, how do you have experience

139
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: down in Miami? Different personnel? But what can you do

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: while we kind of wait for everything to kind of

141
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: sort out so that you know, when the time does come,

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: you're ready to kind of hit the ground running. I

143
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: think there's just um, you know, good on a routine

144
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: as far as working out the best you can. You

145
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: know that if that's getting you a bicycle and Ryan

146
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Ryan the bike around the neighborhood and make sure your

147
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: legs are uh conditions. Um. Whether that's a communicating with

148
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the coaches and trying to get as much information from

149
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: them as much as possible, um, just a little a

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: little smaller things. Maybe just staying in shape. That's the

151
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: biggest thing. James is again James is pulled Schwartz in

152
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: the post. Again. Do you know anybody rich the Giants,

153
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: any of the players you're familiar with in any way,

154
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: shape or form. Yes, sir, I know David Mayo, I

155
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,080

157
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: what it's like to be a Giant. I reached out

158
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: to those guys and they had nothing but positive things

159
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: to say about it. Uh. They pretty much loved the city,

160
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: I love the facilities. Uh, and then heard fooves it. James,

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: How about the young dps that you're gonna be working with.

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Have you had a chance to touch base with them?

163
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: And and what are your thoughts on h DeAndre Baker

164
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: um all of the instaground. I rather try to introduce

165
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: myself to him to meet him in person, you know. Uh,

166
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: that goes a lot smoothing than versus a text message

167
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: of DM. UM. But honestly, I really haven't watched a

168
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: whole lot of fam on the those guys, but I

169
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: did watch them backer from out of college, and I

170
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: saw a really good athlete. UM, so I'm looking forward

171
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: to working with him. It's Kim Jones from NFL Network.

172
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how you embraced the challenge of kind of

173
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: helping the Giants, particularly on defense, get back on track

174
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: after a few years where you know, they didn't necessarily

175
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: play up to what they would have expected. Uh. I

176
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: mean models to mom, models, just go out there and

177
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: do it, you know, UM, and the point of being

178
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: scared of it or hiding back from it, you know,

179
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: just embrace the challenge accepted, UM, and make sure you

180
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: put the time in UM so that when it's time
