1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Hey, Cavan, how are you? How are you doing? Paul good?

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Very good? Thank you? Um. How much you know your

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: rookie year could go so many different ways you had

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: a little break. Now how much you feel maybe energized

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: by the fact that, unlike a lot of giants rookies

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: and years past, you are squarely in a playoff chase

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: right here with a huge game coming up. Um. Sometimes

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: you hear about rookie all you hit the wall that

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: you're playing for you know, long season, this is all

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: right in front of you. How energizing is that for you?

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: I was definitely exciting. You know. Dave's talked to us

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: today and he kind of gave us that idea that

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, the beginning of the season starts now, right,

14
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: So everything we've done has put us in position to to,

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: you know, go for it all. So we can't you know,

16
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: we can't get too far ahead of ourselves, but we do.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: You know, it is a big task at hand that

18
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: we have. Does it help um, um with aches and

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: pains and with mental fatigue and things like that, to

20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: know you're pushing for something really important? Definitely, you know,

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: and even not not even just you know the playoffs

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: that but just the idea of having those mentors like

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Michael Strahan and Carl Banks in the building to to

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, kind of even Jesse Armstead just to give

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: you those insights and like this is you know with

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: the with the biggest guy step up, right, So it

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: kind of gives you that that extra thing to play for,

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: extra motivation. Yeah, Neil best Uh speaking of mentors, when

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: we were talking to Leonard last week, he talked about

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: wanting to take an even more active role and kind

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: of you know, giving you advice and just kind of

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: helping you get through this the long grind of you know,

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: your first NFL season. What is it. What has he

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: been like for you? Yeah, you know he's been great,

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: just you know, like a big brother, um, and not

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: just on the field but off the field and helped me,

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: you know, just get that routine and get everything in

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: order so that I'm able to play and still you

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: know available. At the end of the season. It seemed

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: like Thursday you had, at least from Afar, you know,

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: a very active game. You were you had a you know,

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: a big impact. How did that game feel to you

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: in terms of your contribution. I felt really good. Um,

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I do feel like I had one of my better games. Um,

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: I still got a lot to grow from. Still some

46
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Russians I left out there that I went back. But yeah,

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: I definitely do feel like I've been growing in the

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: right direction. Please use your hand if you have a

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: question for Cavon mm hmm, Patty he how you doing good?

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: You good? Thank you cavan You know a lot of

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: times people say that speed of the game can can

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: trip up a rookie, that this can trip up a rookie.

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: What has been the hardest adjustment, if you will, for

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: you uh, in your rookie season and where do you

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: feel your ad has the season has progressed. Um, I

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I made a lot of big

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: games because I was kind of thrown into a position

58
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: of leadership and not necessarily like vocal leadership, but as

59
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: far as like play calling, you know, just situations and

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: being on the field and having to take on, you know,

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: like a big role on the field, so that it

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: was kind of a you know, it was a it

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: was a slow start for me, just really kind of

64
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: learning those ends and ounceding, like like you said, the

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: game getting faster. But now I feel like I've I've

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: been able to put it, put a lot of it together.

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: And now I've been able to, you know, with that

68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: last game, really put it together and play fast, and

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I feel I do, honestly feel like that was my

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: fastest game. Now. I know you're you're not one to

71
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: make excuses, but you did have the knee injury in

72
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: the start of the year, which I have to leave

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: kind of sold you down a little bit. I mean,

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: it's that there to say. I mean, definitely, you know,

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: when you are, you know, rookie coming in, I guess

76
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: there's not a I don't have an understanding of what's ahead.

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's all new to me. So I would

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: definitely say that. You know, after that, I was able

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: to really accelerate my learning and figure out the things

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: I needed to while you know, I wasn't on the field.

81
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Tom Rock. The Giants just announced that the

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: disease is going to be designated to return from from

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: I R. What you guys haven't you guys were supposed

84
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: to be the two book ends. You haven't really been

85
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: on the field and as much together and so far

86
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: this year. What is having him back going to mean

87
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: to you and to this defense? It's definitely exciting. You know,

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: he's a great player and we've always we we have

89
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: meetings and you know, we're in practice every day together.

90
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: So having him back out there is definitely gonna be

91
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, I went up for the for the d

92
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: line and for the past Russian you know, for the team,

93
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see him, you know, really let

94
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: it loose per cover. Hey, Kevin, how badly you guys

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: talk about how it's not all about sacks, But is

96
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: there a part of you in these last six games

97
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: that would like to see ay yourself and be the

98
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: team pump up that number. I mean, if I could,

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: if I could rack up a hundred sacks in this

100
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: next six games, I'd buy them, you know, But sadly,

101
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: that's not how the game is played. And I think,

102
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: you know, it's a test to our play call. You know,

103
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: there's a there's a um. I would say, there's a

104
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: great feel right for teams and how we play defense, right,

105
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: So I would say it's not necessarily a lack on

106
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: us as players, you know, not having that many sacks,

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: but it's a plus to our defense, right because teams

108
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: are scheming it, they're getting the ball out Obviously we

109
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: we lost last two games, so there are some adjustments

110
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: we gotta make up front within the uh you know,

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: us as players, but just as far as scheme wise,

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, we've been making a lot

113
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: of plays. You know, we've been making the plays that

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: we're allowed to make, you know, giving the scheme and

115
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: everything that you know goes into a game. Do you

116
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: feel that part? Yeah, he definitely, he he He's the

117
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: guy who can win on any on any given snap.

118
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: So that's definitely gonna continue to affect the quarterback and

119
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, put pressure on him. Thank you, we'll take

120
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: two more back. What do you think the key is here?

121
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Just to get back in the win column for your team,

122
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: just to continue to you know, I think you know,

123
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: harping on the game plan, Um, get everybody healthy and

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: play for sixty minutes. I feel like that's the only

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: place we kind of took took hits. You know that

126
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: last game we weren't able to really finish it, you know,

127
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: play for all sixty minutes. That hold up on the

128
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: on the back end. So now that you know we

129
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: have a new fresh week, we just gotta make sure

130
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: we stick to our fundamentals. And play for sixty minutes.

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: Has the team lost any confidence or mojo in your mind? No,

132
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't think our swagger is gone. I don't think

133
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: anything you know about who we are and our character

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: is gone. I just feel like, you know, it's gonna

135
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: take more confidence for a lot of guys who have

136
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: to step up and take on these bigger roles. Art Stapleton.

137
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: When when you look at um, what you guys have

138
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: been able to do consistency wise throughout the year to

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: this point, can you remain consistent but also crank up

140
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: the urgency knowing that what lies ahead right now is

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: going to really determine how this team is viewed. Yeah? Yeah,

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, December football is the most importan in football,

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: So now that we're here, we definitely have to crank

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: up the intensity, crank up the sense of urgency. But yeah, again,

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: it's not getting to ahead of ourselves. I think it's

146
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: just doing everybody doing their job to a high level

147
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: right and playing for the guy next to him, and

148
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we'll come out with the outcome we want.

149
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Thanks last fun here, Ian O'Connor. That was curious. What

150
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: is the best part so far of playing for Brian Dable.

151
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Is there is there anything about his approach as a

152
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: head coach that has surprised you at all? Uh No,

153
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's done everything that you know

154
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: for the players, by the players. And I think he's

155
