1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: You are here last summer, do you do you know 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: what you're going to expect from from Joe Judge and 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: and and this, uh these next six weeks. Yeah, I 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: think so. I've been Um, I played on I played 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: for a couple of teams. Joe Judge coached that before. Um, 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: so they weren't his camp. I'm sure there they may 7 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: be similar, may not, but Joe Judge is tough on 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: the fundamentals. Um, a lot of conditioning, and that's how 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: I made a career for myself, being fundamentally sounding, being 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: in shape for nine ten years. Now you are the 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: player rep correct for the Giants. Yeah, as of now? 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: To we vote again, Yeah, I'm a player rep. Okay, 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: I have a big picture COVID question. Stay with me, hopefully, 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: hopefully that makes sense. Um. The memo that came out 15 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: on Thursday from the league that articulated what the differences 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: between vacs and unvaxed and whether teams can forfeit and 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: guys can lose their salaries, how do you think that 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: was handled from a p A standpoint? Um, do you 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: think that players fully understand the consequences if they're not vaccinated? 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: And do you think a full player membership had a 21 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: voice in creating those protocols. Yeah. Well, the rule where 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: you know, if a game is canceled, players you know 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: won't get paid on either team was in effect last year. 24 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: So that was the same case of last year if 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: a game were to be canceled completely and not played 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: at all in the schedule both players and that took 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people back UM last year as well, 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: and we obviously were able to make them all fit. 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: The thing is this year, with fans being back in stadiums, 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it will be a lot harder to just move a 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: game from Monday to Tuesday than when the Steelers played 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday morning or something, So it's a lot 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: less flexibility. UM. I think it's been made clear to 34 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: all the players. UM, regardless how you feel about vaccinations, 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: I believe everyone has their right, but it's gonna be 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: really hard to UM. The NFL was making it really 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: difficult with the protocols to be unvaccinated. UM. You see 38 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: some other franchise were assistant coaches have been terminated because 39 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: of it, and it's very very hard day to day 40 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: to be unvaccinated. I know I am vaccinated. I personally 41 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: am because UM I've talked to enough doctors. I believe 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: in Ronnie Barnes, our team doctor, and my wife last 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: year went to a couple of medical procedures. Was in 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: a hospital um last year during during the whole COVID outbreak, 45 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: so that was pretty scary for us, and I couldn't 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: see her as much as I wanted to, So that 47 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: was important for me and my family get vaccinated. I 48 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: encourage players too, but also, you know, I'm not going 49 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: to demand anybody too if they don't want to. If 50 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: that's what they believe, it's just gonna be really difficult 51 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: day to day and almost costly. With the amount of 52 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: fines that they can hit you with monitoring UM having 53 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: your mask over your nose, you can find like fifteen 54 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: thousand like overnight. So I think the league's making it 55 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: pretty clear where they want people to be when it 56 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: comes to vaccination. Thanks to Okay Loogan, how are you doing? 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: What's going on? Tom? Nothing much? I just have a 58 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: quick question. Joe was talking about, you know, last season. 59 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: He says, last season's last season. How can you committed 60 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: this season and not be optimistic? I mean, I'm all 61 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm always optimistic, honestly, I'm optimist and myself, Um, last 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: season was last season. It has no bearing to this season. 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: We got a lot of new players on the roster, 64 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: players who haven't played here before. And UM, look, I 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: think you need talent. I think you need a talented 66 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: team to win for sure, but you need that team 67 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: to stay healthy. And I think you gotta get the 68 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: reps in the in the system. I think you really 69 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: need to run your system and really put the work in, 70 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: um together. And that's what we're doing now, um, and 71 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: that that comes in training camp. That's just part of 72 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: the team building, team bonding process of getting yourself from 73 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: football shape and really putting those reps in and those 74 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: details as players, because great players help you win games. 75 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: But great players gotta play great together to make great units. 76 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: And that's what we're trying to create, is great units 77 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: and obviously a great team and that that just comes 78 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: through training and that's what training camps for.
