1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: So how incredible is this only a couple of days

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: after you find out you've been traded to the Giants.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: You wanted to play in the game tonight, not just

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: playing even starting.

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was exciting, you know, just to be able

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: to get out there and the new threads felt really good.

7
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Felt amazing out there, just in the new environment. Giants

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 2: fans amazing as I've seen playing here just previously.

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: But it felt really good.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Just when they came to me talking about how you

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: feel about playing, I'm like, let's let's go. I was like,

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: I'm ready to go. So, you know, I'm just I

13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: just appreciate them forgiving me the opportunity.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: So Giants fans here that Isaiah Simmons been traded to

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: their team and they go bonkers. What can they expect

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: from you at this stage, coming in so late and

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: camp to try to contribute to this ball club?

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just say, just somebody who's just here

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: to make plays for the team, just to help the

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: defense take whatever the next step it is we need

21
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 2: to take. Honestly, really that it just it's just plays

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: that to be made and they're going to be made.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: So I probably say that's what you didn't expect the most.

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: It's a big place.

25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: You talk to Wink Martindale, the defensive coordinator, and the

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: head coach, Brian Dable already what were those conversations like?

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: What did they give you in terms of expectations?

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: I mean the only r who they gave me is is

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, we run to the ball.

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: How do you think it will take to get you

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: to be acclimated to have a bigger role? Right now

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: it's only going to be small bites? Sorry, how long

33
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to take to get acclimated

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: to have a bigger role because right now you can

35
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: only take small bites.

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I personally I feel like I should

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,000

46
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: came straight from Minnesota, so this has been a little hectic,

47
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: trying to figure out where to.

48
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: Watch my clothesmrow. But it's it's been good, though it's

49
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: been hectic in a good way.

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad that these are things that I'm

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: dealing with right now.

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: So it's been Everything's been hectic, but good and in

53
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: a very good What happened in Arizonia that you would treated, Yeah,

54
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 3: I was a little surprised. I definitely a little surprised.

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: We told you saying you really wanted the opportunity to

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 4: play safety, you really don't want to play a linebacker.

57
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 4: It looks here like you we're backing up linebacker. How

58
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: do you How do you feel about that?

59
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: Hey?

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: Man, Like I just told you, I'm here to I'm

61
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: here to help the team in any way we can.

62
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: And I don't have a problem with linebacker. You know,

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: That's what I played in college. That's why I played

64
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: my first two years in the league. So I have

65
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: no issues with it. And like I said that, I'm

66
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: ready to dive into that and get into all the

67
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: details so I can so I can perform to my

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: best ability.

69
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: Do you get the sense that linebacker and wings system

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: is not necessarily the traditional inside linebacker that maybe most teams.

71
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Play for sure, that's why you know, I don't. I

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: have no concerns with what well Wing's vision is. I

73
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: I got full trust in him. He's a great coordinator

74
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: and you know, he knows, he knows how how do

75
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: you utilize his players to their best abilities?

76
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: So I don't have no worries. But what his plan

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: is for me?

78
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: What do you think your best strengths are as a

79
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: football player? And where do you think you'd like to

80
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: take it up to another level another notch if you will.

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: I say, really, just my my ability to generate big plays,

82
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: whether if it's me making a sack or an interception

83
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: or you know, a PBu or whatever.

84
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: It could be a TfL.

85
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: You know, I just feel like my playmaking ability, you know,

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: just it can come up, It could come about at

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: any point in the game. So I just I just

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: feel like that's really one of my strongest suits is that,

89
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: you know, I'm able to affect the game on multiple

90
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: different levels.

91
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: What was it like training with this off season? And

92
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: is it crazy that you're now on the same thing. Yeah,

93
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 3: he talks a lot of Nobody knows.

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: He's probably the most competitive person I've ever met in

95
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: my whole life. To work and with everything, and he's

96
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: been telling me week two, week two, week two, like, uh,

97
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 2: but now we're gonna be together. We two and actually

98
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: you know, every single game we're gonna be together.

99
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: So he got a little lucky.

100
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: How much you're all does being traded put a chip

101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: on your shoulder about proving something extra.

102
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: I don't got nothing to prove anything.

103
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: But I played for audience to one, and that's the

104
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: man upstairs, so I don't really have much to prove.

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: To anybody on the TV.

106
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: On your most comfortable rushing a quarterback, I'm assuming that's true.

107
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: You know, out of Arizona, they said you asked to

108
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: play safety, Which is it?

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: Because if you wanted to play safety, rush the quarterback.

110
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, you can.

111
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: But I don't really have like too many discomforts on

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: the field, just because I've spent so much time in

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: various different places, so you know, I'm comfortable rushing the

114
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: pastor just like I'm comfortable playing half field or post safety.

115
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: So you know, at the end of the day, it's

116
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: all just a position and the responsibility.

117
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: So it's easy.

118
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Oh I wanted that. I wanted that, sat I definitely did.

119
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: But it's Okay, we'll see him again.
