I talked 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: about the Denver Broncos, but at first I talk about 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: the Giants secondary, the defense as a whole, and the 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: way he succeeds at cornerback. Here's my interview with James James. 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: Thanks to being with us Man thank you for having me, 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. All right, let's talk about 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: it here, giants. Now heading into this season opener, you've 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: kind of gotten a feel for what your group is 22 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: on defense since you guys reported and started doing stuff 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: in the off season in April and May. What's your 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: feel for your group. I'm excited to get out there 25 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: on the field and actually go out there and go 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: again somebody other than our team, UM, and also have 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: the game actually means something. UM. I know on paper 28 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: like we look really really good and of course doing 29 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: practice we look pretty good. So you just gotta go 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: out there, continue to UM execute on a daily basis, UM, 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: and then on Sunday and make the most of your 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: opportunities when they come. What are the things that you 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: can't see, whether it's in practice, a preseason game, or 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: even a competitive practice, that you can see once you're 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: in a real deal regular season game one, Actually you 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,919 Speaker 1: can see a lot more doing practice and watching film 37 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: we actually get to the game. Things are happening so 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: much faster at as to rate and UM, you also 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: had the fans. Just having the fans around, sharing and whatnot, 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: it could either aid the defense or affected defense. As 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: far as communicating and stuff, but of course having the 42 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: fans that they affect the offense more than the defense 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: because the offense it's hard for them to get their 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: signals in and also communicate. So that's one thing I'm 45 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: excited about as well. Uh, well, it's kind of hard 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: to say what you can see and can't see because 47 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: it's his game to hear things live and everything's happening 48 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: so fast. Of course. The good thing though, is that 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: your group James for the most part, except for a 50 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: couple of new Peace and we'll talk about them, your attorney, 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: your group from last year for the most part, right. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: So Patrick Graham talked a little bit earlier this week 53 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: when he spoke to the media about how he's able 54 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to do a little bit more scheme wise this year 55 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: because he has the larger group back for a second year, 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: full offseason, all that stuff. Do you sense that as 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: you've gone through this offseason as you get ready for 58 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: Week one? Oh yeah, for sure. I know. Last year 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: was our first year altogether, so it was hard, and 60 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: then we had COVID, they had effect us affected US 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: and O t as and whatnot. So the first time 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: actually getting together as the group was doing training camp, UM, 63 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: So it's definitely hard to put your whole scheme UM 64 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: and put it like install it to the defense and 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: for us to comprehend it off for the whole season 66 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: when you don't have that much time together. Since we 67 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: have a year under our built, we just want to 68 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: continue on that chemistry, that camaraderie and hopefully just keep 69 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: UM rising and taking off. How much different is the 70 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: comfort level in what you're trying to do? And I 71 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: know things change every week with your system, that's never 72 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: the same thing each week, But how much easier and 73 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: how much more natural is it gonna be for you 74 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: guys to make those adjustments each week? Just having such 75 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: a better better understanding of the fundamentals that encompass everything 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: it is that you do. I don't think it'll be easier. 77 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: I know our task is like at the end of day, 78 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough, because playing NFL is tough. But 79 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: I know, UM, just listening to the calls, actually hearing 80 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: the same calls you've actually been hearing for the past year, 81 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: it makes you feel a lot more comfortable when you're 82 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: on the field because you've been running it so long. 83 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: It's like less thinking right thing, you know. Um, Because 84 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: you wrap it so much throughout the week, you just 85 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: let your mental reps take cover. When you get in 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the game, you don't have to think as much. UM. 87 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: So you're definitely more comfortable with it. Now that I 88 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: have a year under my bilt, and I'm more comfortable 89 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: with the players that I'm around. Um, I kind of 90 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: know how how they're gonna play. Who's all aggressive, who's 91 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: all kind of conservative in this situation. Uh So I 92 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: have a more comfortable feeling being around those guys as well. 93 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk to about that relationship a little bit. 94 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: What is it like working with your group of safeties. 95 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: I've been here with the Giants of two thousand and seven. 96 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've been around such a large group 97 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: that is just so into the film, watching, understand exactly 98 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: what the other team is gonna do, anticipation. What is 99 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: it like for you, another guy who's a student of 100 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: the game, working in tand and with those safeties each week, 101 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: so you know exactly what you're doing and you can 102 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: really try to throw some curveballs into what the opposing 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: offenses are trying to do. Yeah, So I say these 104 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: they do a good job, but disguising. Uh So sometimes 105 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: during a play, um, I might not know exactly what 106 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm doing, you know, because I didn't necessarily get the call, 107 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: and everything's been like rushed up the offenses rushing um 108 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: Russian their cages and stuff. So I'm actually looking at 109 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: the safeties and i can just see how they're moving, 110 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: like based all like what we're in, and I kind 111 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: of move and get to my position with I'd even 112 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: like without even communicating. I feel like that's that's the point, 113 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: the point that we're getting too like wherever to communicate 114 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: what I actually talking. You know, we communicate with verb, 115 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: like our body language or whatnot. So I'm definitely getting 116 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: more comfortable with those guys. And then like Logan, he's 117 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: our leader of our group. He does a lot of 118 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: the communicating. So anytime I have Logan on my side, 119 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: I'm always looking to see what he has he has 120 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: to say, if there's gonna be a check or whatnot. 121 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: And then say Xavier McKinnon, he's like our young book. 122 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: Um he's still learning the system, but you know he's 123 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: flying around all over the field. I know he's an 124 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: aggressive player. And you got Julian Love. They call him 125 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: duct tape, and there's no telling where he'll be at 126 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: on the field. He could line up a corner, he 127 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: can line up for Nickelly glide of his safety. So 128 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: I would always have to ask him when he gets 129 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: in the game, what position are you at? And then 130 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: you got Pep. I just know Pep. He's not enforcers, 131 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: so most time he's gonna be in the box doing 132 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: knowing some dirty work. Tell me about the art of 133 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: the disguise, because I remember a couple of plays last 134 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: year where I think it was the Washington game, we 135 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: ended up lying up inside on a plane and you 136 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: end up getting interception on that. How do you guys 137 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: during the week figure out without giving away trade secrets obviously, 138 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: for depending on the opponent, how you're going to disguise 139 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: things where you think for even against some of these 140 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: veteran quarterbacks like Russell wasn't last year. He didn't look 141 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: like he knew what you guys were doing against him 142 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: last year and you played him, he looked like he 143 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: was hesitating. He's been doing this forever, right, That's hard 144 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: to do. So how do you guys go about doing that? 145 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Figure out how you can disguise things to try to 146 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: slow down the opposing offense. I think it starts earlier 147 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: in the week when we get our like our call, 148 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: this from our coordinator, you know, he tells all us 149 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: all the calls for the week, and then as soon 150 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: as we get the calls, I know, they go right 151 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: into the film study on how they're going to disguise 152 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: this week and how they're gonna discuisse certain looks and whatnot, 153 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: most of his own on them, and then the corners 154 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: like we're on the outside. And then when you're a quarterback, 155 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: I think most of the time you check the safeties 156 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: in the nickel to kind of see, like, um, you 157 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: try to anticipate what covers win trying to figure out 158 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: who's in the box, who's going to be deep all 159 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: that stuff based off like where they're at. That's how 160 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: they can sure that just what covers that we in. 161 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: But they're not most time that I'm looking at the corners, 162 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: So really I based my diskuiles off what the safeties do. 163 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: So if they're showing a certain look, I try to 164 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: like be insane in sequence with him, so I keep 165 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: that disguise going. So they didn't really do a lot 166 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: of a lot of the work on the front end, 167 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: and I just come in on the back end and 168 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: kind of put my two cents in. What has it 169 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: been like working with the Dory? It's been real cool. 170 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: You know, he's a lady back guy, very very funny. 171 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: I didn't realize how funny he was. Um, he actually 172 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: makes the room like more relaxed because he's a he's 173 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: a he's a fun guy. You know, he's always laughing, 174 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: always smiling. So I've I've enjoyed working with him. Um, 175 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: it's been fun for me. How much does he open 176 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: up more windows for stuff you can do? Patrick Graham, 177 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: for example, I remember when he first got here, he goes, yeah, 178 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, ideal world, third down. You know, maybe you 179 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: want to try to do a little bit more and 180 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: man to man, you force more in complete passes, you 181 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: put some more pressure on opposing receivers. Does having a 182 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: Doory here? And you know last year the guys that 183 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: the best they could be do with four five different 184 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: guys across from all year it was it was a 185 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: tough situation. Now you have a Dory there and you 186 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: hope that he can clamp down that side doesn't open up. 187 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: Just a lot of different avenues of ways you can 188 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: attack opposing offenses knowing he's going to be there across 189 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: from you. Oh yeah, definitely. I know for me how 190 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: to fix me. I know when we play police, when 191 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: we play a team that they have a big guy 192 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: and then they have a smaller, quicker guy, we can 193 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of match up better and it kind of fits 194 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: our treats. So that's how it kind of fixts me. 195 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: Him being a fast, fast guy, I don't really have 196 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: to worry about the species that we go against, so 197 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: that's always a good thing for me. Well, I think 198 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: that's a perfect segue into the matchup this week because 199 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: the Broncos every shape, size, type receiver. They're rolling everyone 200 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: out there, right. They got Sutton and Patrick six four 201 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: plus big body guys. kJ Hamdler is a little little 202 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: guy who runs sprint, you know, sprinter speed. Then you 203 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: know Jerry Judy is kind of in between a great 204 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: rat runner. Can you just kind of give me a 205 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: thumbnail on their wide receiving corps and and as a 206 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: quarterback when you watch them, what you see and why 207 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: they make your life difficult? Yeah, I will put a 208 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: sudden in Patrick into the same bucket, you know, big 209 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: physical receivers. They use their body to kiss the ball 210 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: and kind of get an advantage on the corners. They 211 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: use their body really well, have huge catch radius with 212 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: having long arms and stuff. Um. And then you got 213 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: Jay Judy Um. I kind of say, I kind of 214 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: think he's like an all around the type of guy, 215 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: a great route runner, great quickness, also had some speed 216 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: as well. And in kJ Hamler, like you said, he's 217 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: a speed he's a speed threat. When any time you 218 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: line up in front of him, you got to be 219 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: alert of a shot or explosive playway nappy. So how 220 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: did you guys get ready for this offense? Because you 221 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: can watch Pat Schrummer from last year right with Denver, 222 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: but they Drew locked so for example, they did almost 223 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: everything had a shotgun last year because that's your Drew 224 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: lockw from college. Now you have Teddy Bridgewater come in. 225 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: He's done more underset their stuff in the league. He 226 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: was with Carolina last year. So how do you guys 227 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: balance their scheme with what Teddy does well and trying 228 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: to figure out what they're going to do against you 229 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: in Week one? It's definitely tough because this week one 230 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: is early on in the season. And um, you don't 231 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: really know what to expect. You kind of you can 232 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: kind of assume based off the history of a coach 233 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: in the history off of the officer coordinator. But like 234 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: you said, you gotta go back and watch film on 235 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: Teddy bridge Ward or whenever he was starting, and that 236 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: was the last year he was with the Panthers. So 237 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: you watched some film when he was with the Panthers. Uh. 238 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: And you also look at the history of the officer 239 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: coordinator with just Sherman, right, so you look at his 240 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: history and where he played like he played the John's. 241 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: He was the coach with John's a few years back, 242 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: so you look at his office a little bit, and 243 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: he had Teddy within Minnesota. Right. Did you did you 244 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: go back that far? Even? I don't think we went 245 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: back back that far, but we went back to to 246 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Um, So you just go back in the 247 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: history of those guys and kind of check their history 248 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: and also look at the present the preseason and whatnot 249 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: and kind of build a comprehensive I guess, and uh, 250 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: what do you call it? Analysis? Analysis of what they 251 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: might do? Did you make a phone call to maybe 252 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: a couple of year buddies out of South Carolina that 253 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: practice against them a little bit, get a couple of tips. Man, 254 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: you just gave me. I didn't even think about doing it. 255 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, you're welcome. I just I didn't think about 256 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: doing that to just now, I appreciate that problem right. 257 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: For sure, I would have talked to you about how 258 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: you've kind of taken a leadership role in the cornerback 259 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: whom you mentioned how Logan is the leader of your group, 260 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: but last you know, you're the veteran presence at corner 261 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: and I know you guys are together, but in some 262 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: ways you're separate. Two, what's your leadership stop does? It 263 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: seems like a very analytical guy, a smart guy, but 264 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more soft spoken. So what's your 265 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: leadership style when you try to kind of bring that 266 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: group along together? First, I try to lead by example, 267 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: just doing the right thing and just making sure I'm 268 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: always on my p's and ques. Like in the meaning rooms. 269 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: I try to always be alert, try to always be UM, 270 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: be proactive UM and watching film and also take care 271 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: of my body. And I feel like the young guys 272 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: they watched me when I do that stuff, so they 273 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: kind of something might follow on. Somebody might watch and 274 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: just put like a note in their in their memory 275 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: bank for later down down the road. They might not 276 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: necessarily use it now, but I know eventually they might 277 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: use it, because that's what I did when I was 278 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: the young guy. I looked at all the vets. I 279 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: kind of just watched them. I might not necessarily like 280 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: did exactly what they did, but I kind of, you know, 281 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: I learned it, and then whenever I needed to use it, 282 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: I used it. Um But like you said, I'm so spoken, 283 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: so I'm really to do a whole lot of talking. 284 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: I'm more of like a one on one guy. So 285 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: if I see something, I might pull you to the 286 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: side and talk to you, you know, whether it's good 287 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: or bad. You know, I'm not gonna always be negative. 288 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to be positive as well. So I 289 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: want to bounce back real quick. To the receivers. How 290 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: do you handle differently in your approach to deal with 291 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: a big guy to dealing with a guy more like 292 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Judy who was kind of more that all around guy, 293 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: to a guy like Hamdler. Which are the guys you 294 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: like to put your hands on? Is it really depending 295 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: on the type of player. You know, even specifically even 296 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: if they're a smaller guy, how they play. Is it 297 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: based on the scheme you're you're running at that particular time. 298 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: How does your approach change depending on the body type 299 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: and type receiver you're playing against? Uh? So, starting off 300 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: with the body type, I try to get my hands 301 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: on on whether he's big or small. Um. But I'm 302 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: also aware like bigger guys, Like we have big guys 303 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: in this league because they catch sure, so non route's favoritroutes. Honestly, 304 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: I try to take that away, you know, Um, But 305 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: of course, like I try to get my hands on 306 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: it all times. And then how I'll play them is 307 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: based off like the situation in the game. You know, 308 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: you don't play first and second down the same way 309 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: that you will play third down. Um. And you also 310 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: don't play first, second down, third down the same way 311 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: you might play two minute at the end of the game. 312 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: So it's base It's all based off situation in the game, 313 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: how much Tendant could play them. But as far as 314 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: like trying to be physical, I'm always trying to be 315 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: physical with both both types of style of receivers. I 316 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: gotta come more for you. One thing I think you're 317 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: really good at, James. I know a lot of corners 318 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: struggle with it. Really. I think it makes the difference 319 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: a lot between the good corners and the great corners. 320 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: When the balls in the air, you usually get your 321 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: head around you make a play on the ball, or 322 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: if you don't get your head around, you're able to 323 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: sense when the ball is coming, make a play on it, 324 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: but not hit the receiver early and get the flag. 325 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: It's a really tough thing to do. So what's your 326 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: approach to playing the ball preventing the catch but not 327 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: committing that defensive past interference pedical? Because I do feel 328 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: like that's kind of the trick for corners, right in 329 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: terms of finishing those plays. Con great, you don't finish 330 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: it right, doesn't really matter a whole lot. Yeah, that's 331 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: definitely a tough thing to do, and I don't really 332 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: know how I trained myself to do it. You know, 333 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: I just work on the doing practice with my coach. 334 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: But also like in the game, I just trying to 335 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: calm myself, like when I'm when I'm out of phase 336 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: and I know the ball is coming because you can 337 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: kind of tell based off their body language when the 338 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: ball is coming. You watch their eyes, you wash your hands, 339 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 1: what do you watch. It's kind of like you're looking 340 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: at their eyelash, head and their shoulders. Like if a 341 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: guy's shoulder open, you know, that typically means the ball 342 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be late. And that's usually one guys like 343 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: they keep the eyes on receiving. They run through them 344 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: and they get the pr But you kind of want 345 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: to turn around and look for the ball. But if 346 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: a guy's shoulder is still square and he's running down 347 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: the field, that means the ball is probably gonna be 348 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: ahead of him. So you want to keep running and 349 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: keep your eyes on the receiver. That's how you coach it. 350 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: That's definitely harder to do, like split second, the second decision, 351 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: So you just gotta rip it and I guess just 352 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: watch film, you know that. That's amazing. I think it's 353 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: really tough thing to do. All Right, You've talked about 354 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: a couple of these guys already, but you guys voted 355 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: Blake your broll and Logan your defensive captains. Why were 356 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: they the right leaders for this defense this year? Um? 357 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: I think first of all, it just goes about like 358 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: how they go about their day. Um, as pros. You know, 359 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: they handled their business on and off the field, UM, 360 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: in the locker room, in the field, like when we're 361 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: in the meetings. UM. And then are also vocal leaders 362 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: as well. You know, UM, I know you hear Logan 363 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: a lot. He's always breaking down our hotel. You know, 364 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: he always has um some good advice to give us 365 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: right before the game or after practice. And uh, the 366 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: same way with Blake as well. You know, the middle linebacker, 367 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: the middle linebackers is definitely the leader of our group 368 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: where you want him to be the leader of group 369 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: because he's the one making all the checks and calls. 370 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: So typically that every team I've been on this house 371 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: is always work and I've always played with good linebackers. 372 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: So there goes with that one. In Jabil Peppers, UM, 373 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: I feel like he's are He's like the heart of 374 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: the defense. You know, he brings like that intensity, UM, 375 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: just that toughness that we need to play with. I 376 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: think he brings that and he exemplifies that. So that's 377 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: why he was one of my captains. People like me 378 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: that cover of the team and fans more importantly, haven't 379 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: seen your offense altogether yet on the field, you have 380 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: as you've been practicing against me for a couple of weeks. 381 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: With these guys back, What does it look like with 382 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: all these guys back see Kwan, Kenny, Galady, Ken Aias Tony, 383 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: all those guys on the practice field together, does it 384 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: give the offense a whole different vibe to it? When 385 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: you look at him, it definitely gives a whole different 386 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: vibe to him, you know. And of course, like I said, 387 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: on paper, like we look really good on offense and defense. 388 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: You know, just about us going out there, it's quting 389 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: and also staying healthy, you know, that's just um, that's 390 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: one of the things about football. Um, it's a long season, 391 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: and of course you want to stay healthy. Not everyone 392 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: stays healthy and that plays a part into being a 393 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: good team. Is health? Final question. We had Joe Judge 394 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: in here doing his radio interview and he talked about 395 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: how he had some first responders come and talk to 396 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: the team this year about the anniversary at nine eleven. 397 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: It will also be the first time you're in front 398 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: of giant fans for a real game. Just talk about 399 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: those two things heading into Week one and kind of 400 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: what it means to you to finally be able to 401 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: get out there, and what's gonna be what's a normal 402 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: NFL weekend with obviously the emotion of anniversary of nine 403 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: eleven kind of on top of that. So first of all, 404 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: being in front of fans for the first time, it's 405 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: just gonna be different for me because I haven't been 406 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: in front of New York Johns fans before. So I 407 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: heard it's different, and I'm anxious, anxiously waiting for it. Um. 408 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: As as far as like the first responders coming and 409 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: speaking to us, it was great. You know. I think 410 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: when not eleven happened, I was maybe like in the 411 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: second grade, so I have like a you kind of 412 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: knew something was happening, but didn't quite Yeah, I really 413 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: understand it for real. I just knew something bad was 414 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: going on. I know. My mom actually works for the government, 415 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: and I remember the government they let all their employees 416 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: off early. Um. And then my mom came to the 417 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: boys and girls slip early and picked me up, UM, 418 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: and she told me what all had happened and said 419 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: how they let up. She pretty much explained the whole 420 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: situation to me. UM. And so hearing them giving their 421 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: stories and how they were first hand, like experiencing everything. 422 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: It was just it was just why, you know, you 423 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: just never think that was something like that would happen 424 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: in the United States. Um, So I'm definitely I'm excited 425 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 1: to go out here and perform for the fans, I know, 426 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: for this area because I know it definitely hit this 427 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: area very hard. Um and it still affixes area each 428 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: and every day. So I'm definitely. Um, you know, I 429 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: just want to bring some positivity on their day. But 430 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: we can't wait to see you guys out there and 431 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: do it.

Now, let's turn 440 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: our attention to the Denver Broncos. Lance Meadow had a 441 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: chance to talk to Denver post Broncos beat reporter Ryano 442 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: haller in Week one has finally arrived at the Giants 443 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: kick off the season against the Broncos at MetLife Stadium 444 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: to get more into their first opponent. We are now 445 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: joined by Ryan O'Halleran, who covers the Broncos for the 446 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: Denver Post. Ryany got Lance Meado here, greatly appreciate the time, 447 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Hope Pole is well, how we're thinking is on your rand? Hey, Well, 448 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: it's good to join that, and it's a cloudless sunny 449 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: day here in Colorado. But looking forward to Giants and 450 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Broncos on Sunday, absolutely well, let's get right into it, Ryan, 451 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: I want to start with the quarterback position. The Broncos 452 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: elected to go with Teddy Bridgewater over Drew Lock. How 453 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: much was the mindset, Hey, Teddy's a polished veteran. He'll 454 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 1: take care of the football, he'll make good decisions, and 455 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: he'll be the perfect compliment to what they have on defense. 456 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: How much was that the rationale in the thinking as 457 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: to why they went in that direction? I think percent, 458 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: especially when camps started. You know, you look at the 459 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: Broncos schedule and let's face it, this was a five 460 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: and eleven team that scoring points, but their first three 461 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: opportance won a total of nine games last year with 462 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: the Giants, Jags, and Jets. And I think vic fanjo 463 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: as the head coach and defensive play callers saying, hey, 464 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: he'll be able to stop teams. We just need a 465 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: quarterback who won't turn it over. And that's why probably 466 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: what he was saying in his mind. And I think 467 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: the competition was a lot closer than they thought. Drew 468 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: like had a good camp and two good preseason games, 469 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: but I think going with Teddy, who is probably more 470 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: apt to avoid a train wreck, is the reason they 471 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: went with him. Now, speaking of protecting the football, Denver 472 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: had the worst turnover differential ryan in the NFL last 473 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: season minus sixteen. How much just simply by default does 474 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater's presence you think help them improve in that department, 475 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: like the Teddy of a couple of years ago greatly 476 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: helps it. But he had also he had his own 477 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: interception problems last year in Carolina, so he's got to 478 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: clean that up. You know, this team was a perfect 479 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: storm of futility and to take away give away, they 480 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: couldn't producing in and gave it away too much. And 481 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: I think that was. That's something that they have emphasides. 482 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 1: You know, here's the other thing about getting takeaways is 483 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: you gotta get a lead once in a while and 484 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: if you're playing behind, teams are gonna run it and 485 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: then your pass rush isn't negated, your secondary isn't negated. 486 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: So I think the plan for Bronco successes and try 487 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: and get a lead and lead on a defense that 488 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: could be it should be pretty good. One of the 489 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: best friends of any quarterback, whether they're a veteran or 490 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: a rookie, is a strong run game. And the Broncos 491 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: have two options. They got Melvin Gordon, who carries over 492 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: from last see in, and then they moved up in 493 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: the second round to get Javonte Williams out of North Carolina. Ryan, 494 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: there seems to be a lot of buzz, a lot 495 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: of hype surrounding what Javonte Williams could provide for this offense. 496 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: How do you see the carries breaking down at least 497 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: in Week one against the New York Giants as well 498 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: as the usage of both backs, Yeah, that's going to 499 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: be one of the intriguing subplus le Bronco standpoint. And 500 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: and just to touch on Jervonte Williams is you know, 501 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: going into camp, there's a media buzz, and because we've 502 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: gotta have something talking right about this. This buzz was 503 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: fueled by his teammates, by Pat Sherman running the offense, 504 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: by Vic Fanjo saying the other day we trust him 505 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: in all situations, and by him doing it in the 506 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: preseason games. So you know, I think initially just that 507 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: the gas is Melvin Gordon may get the ceremonial start, 508 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: and they may have pretty equal divisional labor because Williams 509 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: can play on third down. But I think by midway 510 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: through the season, you're gonna see Williams taking over that 511 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: spot and then ultimately lead the team in Russia. Now, 512 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: Williams is a new face. You brought up, Pat Shermer 513 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: up curious your perspective. I think the biggest storyline that 514 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: I always focused on with if Drew lock was the 515 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: quarterback this year, Well, finally he's got the same coordinator 516 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: in consecutive years for the first time in forever, given 517 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: what he had to go through at Missouri. How much 518 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: do you think it benefits the Broncos that Teddy's got 519 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: familiarity with Pat Sarmer from the Minnesota days, you got 520 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: the wide receiver corps relatively healthy. Is that an advantage 521 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: going into this season or do you not think that 522 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: makes much of a difference. Year's why last year? You 523 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: know the Giants fans can relate to this, Jason Garrett, 524 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: your Cordner No, obviously no previous same thing with the 525 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: Broncos and Pat Charmer er luck. You know there is 526 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: some carry over. Teddy Bridgewater said, some of the terminology 527 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: from Minnesota back in two dozen seventeen does carry over 528 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: some receivers. Being second year in the system, offensive line, 529 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: second year in the system, Garrett Bowls are left tackle. 530 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: His first four years, he had four different playbooks. As 531 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: he said, he I got the week one. We're still 532 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: trying to master it. And they were able to do 533 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: that this offseason the Pat's offense, so it can only help. 534 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: We're talking with Ryan oh Halleran who covers the Broncos 535 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: for the Denver posts were getting. He said, for the 536 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Giants Week one at MetLife Stadium, I 537 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: want to turn our attention to the defensive side of 538 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: the ball. And Von Miller missed all of last season 539 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: with an ankle injury. Ryan this is eleventh year in 540 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: the NFL. I know he got a few snaps of 541 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: the preseason. What can we expect that of him given 542 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: he hasn't played since two thousand nineteen. Yeah, I mean 543 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: it took me a little bit of a transition, but 544 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: but I think the preseason give against the Raps, he 545 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: played around twenty snaps. I think that was good to 546 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: get the rust knocked off. I thought he looked sharp. 547 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: And this is last year's contract. I think it's important 548 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: to Von to be a lifeline Bronco. He's gonna be 549 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: in the Ring of Fame no matter what, but to 550 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: have to be a one team guy. He's got a 551 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: play well this year for the new GM George Peyton 552 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: to say, hey, we watch you back to finish your career. 553 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: So you know, for Von, the big thing is Bradley 554 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: Chubb on the opposite. Bradley Chub will be going against 555 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: the left tackles, his nurse in an ankle injury. They 556 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: have played together four times in the last two years 557 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: because of their injuries. So Chubb is healthy in effective, 558 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: he'll draw attention. That should free Miller up to do 559 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: some things one on once. I'm glad you brought up 560 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb. He's coming off of his own ankle issue 561 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: and now there were some off the field issues in 562 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: terms of traffic violations. How much at all do you 563 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: think that may play a role in terms of his 564 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 1: usage or maybe even a distraction entering this week one 565 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: matchup is a bigger issue? Uh tweeted practice a couple 566 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: weeks ago, still playing the Ramper game, which he has 567 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: obviously opened the question and second guessing. You know he 568 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: did not practice on Limesday. You know, as we record this, 569 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be a listed as questionable coming up 570 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: on for the game. But if you can give them steps, 571 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: you know, passing situations, they'll be a lot better. But 572 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: a leak read legist team and stamped legist and sacks 573 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: last year, so he's obviously an effective guy. And the 574 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooker the seventh round rookie, he had a great preseason, 575 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: so good Chubb is out or limited, those two guys 576 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: are certainly capable when it comes to the Broncos. Obviously 577 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Von Miller and Bradley Chubb 578 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: given the firepower that they have to get after the quarterback. 579 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: But I think the bigger storyline, Ryan is the secondary 580 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: because the cornerback position has completely changed based on who 581 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: they threw out there last season. You look at now 582 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: Kyle Fuller, Ronald Darby and then of course they drafted 583 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: Patrick Curtan. How much better is this Broncos secondary as 584 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: a result of that type of weaponry that they have 585 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: specifically at the cornerback position this year. Yeah, I mean, George, 586 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, the first partner of address on the problem 587 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: is you got to acknowledge that you knew of the 588 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: corner of mack spot even the overhaul. You know, Derby 589 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: was three years thirty million. Fuller fell in their lap. 590 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: He was about he got cut, signed a one year 591 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: deal because he played for Dick Fangio in Chicago, and 592 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: then hey, let's fish. You know, we can second guess 593 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: the ninth pick all day long. They passed on Justin Fields, 594 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: took Sir Tan. What it does is get Vic Fangio 595 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: options and this nickel and dime packages last year and 596 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: Don had to play a safety over the slot receiver 597 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: because he ran out of corner. So that would be 598 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: certagil I think conditionally. So you know this, if they 599 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: get a lead, get a past row stay feel this 600 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: is a group who can't produce takeawitch. I'm glad you 601 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: brought up Patrick Curtan's usage because I was reading reports 602 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: out of Denver and what Vic Fangio had to say. Ryan, 603 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: it seems as if they're essentially preparing him to play 604 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: like three different positions entering week one, which is rare. 605 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure in terms of what they want to put 606 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: on the plate of a rookie. From the Giants offensive perspective, 607 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: how much do you think they should prepare to really 608 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: see him move around in this matchup on Sunday. Yeah. 609 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: If I'm the Giants, it's about what you use. You know, 610 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: if they're going to tight on a lot, you're not 611 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: going to see a lot of paths or tann on 612 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: the they're going free wide and lining up the tight 613 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: end outside, then you may see him. Is a time 614 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: defend yourself if the Giants are really concerned about what 615 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: he can do, and then you keep them off the field. 616 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: And it goes back to my mantra, this will you 617 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, this defense will be great if they have 618 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: a lead. If they have a lead, teams, you gotta 619 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: pass more paths or tan on the field and to 620 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: go with you know what, the time the James top 621 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: safety duos and send into Creek Jackson. So you just 622 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: talked about the dynamics of the team, and that brings 623 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: me to a big picture perspective Ryan. There, obviously, I'm 624 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of excitement surround these Denver defense 625 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: because of all the weapons they have and a new 626 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: quarterback at Teddy Bridgewater. If there's one major concern though 627 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: about this Broncos team, at least heading into Week one, 628 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: what would that be in your mind most proposition of 629 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: pro sports as their biggest concerns is can you get 630 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: functional quarterback plays? Teddy Teddy bridge wis gonna be their 631 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: fifth different Week one starter in is a many years? 632 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: Can he bring sen stability, can stay healthy, can know 633 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: the effect of the productive and manage the game and 634 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: let's let the run gave you their deal play action down. 635 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: So the Judy and Son, that's this question, and that's 636 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: why that's why you have, you know, a seven and 637 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: ten projection or eight nine projection, because there's just such 638 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,719 Speaker 1: an undoing about the quarterback. Ryan. Before I let you go, 639 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: there's a few connections between the Giants and the Broncos 640 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: given the fact that Pat Shermer was the head coach 641 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: right before Joe Judge took over, there are a number 642 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: of guys on this Giant's roster that did play for him. 643 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if you had an opportunity to chat 644 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: with Pat Shermer yet as he prepares for this game, 645 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: not so much interested in terms of his mindset going 646 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: up against his former team. But how much do you 647 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: think his maybe inner knowledge of some of the Giants 648 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: personnel does give perhaps the Broncos a bit of a 649 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: leg as they look to solve this. Patrick Graham led 650 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: Giants defense this season. Yeah, that's something Dick fans youre 651 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: downplayed him said. He goes there are a lot of 652 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: guys on that defense that worked there when he was 653 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: reduced two Jersey now. But I think behind closed doors 654 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: he can mention some things about Daniel Jones, and you 655 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 1: know he should. And as he said about stay Paul Barkley, 656 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: he said, cool, we ran the tires off from his 657 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: rookie year, pretty much accurate. So he has great respect 658 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: for Berkeley and you know a couple of those guys 659 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: on defense. But I think the intel will be time 660 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: limited to maybe Daniel Jones and pumping not a lot else. Well, 661 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: it should be a good one.

Bob Papa had 683 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him. I'm sure your juices 684 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: are flying and you just can't wait to get out there. Yeah, 685 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of excitement and a lot of 686 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: dronal and popping with all the players and coaches. You know, 687 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: we gotta come out there and just make sure we 688 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: control our emotions. And obviously it's going to be a 689 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: heated atmosphere, which is what we're looking forward to. Which 690 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 1: what you're playing, you work for for that kind of reward. 691 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: But we gotta go out there early and just execute 692 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: our jobs, our techniques, and make sure we get off 693 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: with good, fun mentally sound football. As you get ready 694 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: to play this first game, do you have a census 695 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: of staff of what your team's DNA is yet or 696 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: is that something that will develop as you get through 697 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: these first couple of weeks. A little bit of both. 698 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: There's definitely something's going to develop throughout the entire season, 699 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: but you want to really get to your September to 700 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: truly find out who you are, and that's who you 701 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: are schematically, not so much what you install, but from 702 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: what you've installed, what you've gotta stick with and build on, 703 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: and things you have to adjust and change. I think 704 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: in terms of the DNA, we found a lot a 705 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: lot about you are foundational guys. Some of the returning vets, 706 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: some of the captains who have been with us for 707 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: a year, been with us through training camp. Some of 708 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: the new guys we've had, we found ou a lot 709 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: about them through how they committed the process of training 710 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: camp as well, but we found out a lot about 711 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: their work ethic, the resiliency, you know. The competitive practices 712 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: in Cleveland and New England. To me, we're really a 713 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: great opportunity to really see the character of the team. 714 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: And I want to say that it was really more 715 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: of the response to what happened in this practice. And 716 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: we went to Cleveland and had a solid first day, 717 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,959 Speaker 1: but we didn't finish strong way we wanted to. And 718 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: without finishing strong, mid answers to the team to come 719 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: out the next day and start fast and make sure 720 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: we help consistently for the duration or practice. We saw 721 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: that from our guys. They came out with a sharp attitude, 722 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: very competitive and you know, did some really good things 723 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: in that practice, not saying New England. The realities went 724 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: up there and we weren't ready to play the first 725 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: day and it showed in the field. You know. We 726 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: went out there and with a lot of things we 727 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: had to clean up. We talked as a team that night. 728 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: They understood the emphasis of how we have to play, 729 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: of who we represent and what it has to be, 730 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: and we came out the next day with a completely 731 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: different attitude and we can't wait. We can't wait to 732 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: go ahead and get in that mood. We have to 733 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: understand we're already on day two per se for all 734 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: of us, so we gotta get going. But you find 735 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: out a lot about the resiliency of the team and 736 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: how they stand together. Let's talk a little bit about 737 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: the Broncos defensively, their front seven, the guys coming off 738 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: the edge. Lost in the fact of all this is 739 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: that they drafted certan and between the corner and the 740 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: two safeties fifty four career interceptions. So this is a 741 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 1: pretty balanced defense that you're dealing with today, isn't it. Well, 742 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: first off, it's probably you know, amongst the best coach 743 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: defenses in the world, all right, Fangio, and they do 744 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: a terrific job, you know, organizing in the front and 745 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: the back end time and really together. Yeah, they're very aggressive, 746 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: and everything they do they're very aggressive. They're aggressive front 747 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: who's gonna come off the edge with really great speed 748 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: and power to compress your pocket and get to your 749 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: quarterback in them off the spot. And then what they 750 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: do is they put you in a position if you're 751 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: not sound and poised, they force you into throws where 752 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: the defensive backs really sitting back. They're waiting to pounce 753 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: on it, and they're gonna take very aggressive strikes to 754 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: try and steal a play. They're not back there simply 755 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 1: to make sure they tackle the ball in front of them. 756 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: These guys are really sitting back and looking to steal 757 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: a place. So we've got to make good decisions. We 758 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: gotta protect the quarterback, we've gotta be a balanced offense, 759 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: and we got to go out there and execute the 760 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: other side of the ball. Teddy Bridgewater veteran presence Pat Shermer, 761 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator, is familiar with him from their time 762 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: together in Minnesota. Run game that they have. They got 763 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: two really good backs that they can hit you with. 764 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: And then they've got the speed guys on the outside. 765 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: When you look at them, what are some of the 766 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: big danger points from them? Well, first all, I think 767 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: Pat does as good a job as anybody in the leg, 768 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: if not better, of just using what he has and 769 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: putting plays together and creating explosive plays. He really does 770 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: a great job of understanding systematically what you do and 771 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: how he can atta aacket. And I think Pat does 772 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: a great job of that. And he's got a lot 773 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: of weapons out that really work with you know, Teddy's 774 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: a veteran presence in there. You know you should give 775 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: him a lot of dependability and consistency in terms of 776 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: decision making. You know, I know it's gonna help facilitate 777 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: Pat's offense keep it moving. But when you look at 778 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: the weapons around it, you know, you talk about the 779 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: receivers on the perimeter, but really the Pat's offense, it 780 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: starts to run game up front, and he really uses 781 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: the run game with both those guys to get it 782 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: going and get downhill. Whether it's the zone runs or 783 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: the gap trap schemes that he's gonna have by game plan, 784 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: but he uses the run game to set the play 785 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: action passes and that's where the shots come off. Now, 786 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 1: once he has your playing a little bit on your heels, 787 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: and I know if it's run or play action, then 788 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: you can drop all back with a little more comfort 789 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: and hit those guys in the slot. And a lot 790 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: of times it's Judy Hammler for some gadgets and shots 791 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: down the field. But you look at a guy like 792 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: Judy with the in cuts and coming off some of 793 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: the sail routes for the late breaks off to go 794 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: on the outside. It makes a lot of catches. He's 795 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: a big time presence and then having big receivers like 796 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: Sutton and Patrick, it gives him that presence on the outside. 797 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: You go out there and make tough contested catches. So look, 798 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: they're a challenge at all fronts. And I have even 799 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: touched on tight end yet with Fan and that crew. 800 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they're at challenge at all fronts. So there's 801 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: a ton of weapons out there. Past can put a 802 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: lot of positions. We gotta play very sound, and we 803 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: gotta go and just keep playing the next play every time. 804 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: Coach final question. Obviously an emotional weekend this weekend with 805 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: it being the twenty year anniversary of nine eleven. UM 806 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: saluting the first responders on game day. Uh, it's an 807 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: emotional time for this community, for our nation. Your thoughts 808 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 1: on twenty years later and what nine eleven means to you. 809 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, were the opportunity to have some the first 810 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: responders who were in the towers that day and come 811 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: talk to our team, and Uh, I think they said 812 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: it best was talking about you know, there was the 813 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: action and the reaction, and the action was obviously us 814 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: being attacked, the reaction of the country coming together and 815 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: for a period of time, you know, everybody kind of 816 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: forgot about everything on the outside, politics and you know, 817 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 1: everything like that, and everyone just was supportive of each other. 818 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: And to me, you think about how that was twenty 819 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: years ago, and that really was a special feeling, special 820 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: time everyone you know, standing together for united cause. UM. 821 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: That's the thing that really lasts with me in terms 822 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: of think about nine eleven. I think this state this weekend, 823 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: being in stadium, you know, with a crowd where you 824 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: look around and you realize that really everybody in there 825 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 1: lost somebody. You know, everyone's connecting to someone. It's a neighbor, 826 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: it's a cousin, it's a brother, it's somebody.
