1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: All right here with Giant center John Michael Schmidt's JMS

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: first preseason action of your NFL career? How does it

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: feel to be out there? Yeah, you know, it felt

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: great to be out there with my team. Got all

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: out to get better at and just taking it one

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: day at a time. We got to actually execute a

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: lot better on offense, especially the offensive line, and just

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: just a little fundamentals and details that we got to

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: work on every day and keep getting better at it.

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: After a week of practice with the Lions kind of

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: familiarity going against this group, what was so different about

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: this game tonight? I mean, I mean, yeah, you're going

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: against the Lions. The two practices you're there, I wouldn't say,

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: like anything too different. I mean it's just at the

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, you're playing a football game. You're

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: going out there, having fun out there, and like I

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: said before, we got to do a better job executing,

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: especially on offensive line, maintaining our blocks, having better technique,

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: and just this our pad level. So what don't you

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: know of this week? Not just Tuesday too? Can you

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: repeat that, Sime? What did you get out of this

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: whole this whole week here, not just tonight, but Tuesday, Wednesday,

23
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Yeah, I mean it was a kind

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: of first experience with the joint practices and how those

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: work out. And at the end of the day, we're

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: just competing, uh, to get better each and every day,

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: and if it's against each other, if it's against another team,

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: you're looking to get better and uh, just take the

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: next step forward. So what did you like about what

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: you did in a half a play? Can you repeat that?

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: What did you like about what you did in your

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: first half? You know, I'm pretty hard on myself. I

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: mean I would just say just just just did a

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: good job communicating out there. I know I can do better,

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: and just being the leader up front and making sure

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: everyone's on the same page. And yeah, that's all I'm saying.

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: John Did says, this is just another step of the process.

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: So how much quicker was the tempo, how much more

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: intense was it? Did it meet your expectations? Yeah, I

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: mean obviously when you first get out there, you got

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: the first couple of snaps. I mean you just take

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: it all in and then things just start clicking. And

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's just take one

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: play at a time, take one quarter at a time,

45
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: take one game at a time and just just compete

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: out there and just compete, compete, compete, that's what that's

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: what we want to do out there. So there was

48
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: no quarterback centerations at all to see you look like right,

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the most important thing out there too,

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: with the quarterback center exchange. So for that part, yeah,

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: that was good. Do you feel like you're in a

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: competition for the center job as it felt like a competition.

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: You've probably got the majority of the snaps, but every

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: once in a while Ben moves in there and then

55
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: taking them with the one. You feel like you're still

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: in the competition there. I mean, it's a competition every day.

57
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: You just can't be what am I looking for? You

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: can't be complacent, sorry, thank you. You just can't be

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: complacent with uh what what's what's what you're are? What?

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: What's where you're at? And you just gotta keep getting

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: better each and every day and compete with one another.

62
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: Help you shut her out, especially on the whole line,

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: like your five is playing as one. We want the
