1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Just to catch up on what where we where we've been,

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: what we've done since the season ended. Obviously, when the

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: season ended, we had a thorough review of our roster

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: UM and then UM and then we've been uh got

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: into the UFAs all right, so we're well on our

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: way there. On the college side, we've had two rounds

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: of ZOOM meetings with the college scouts. They are out

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: out and about on the pro days. UM A final

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: UH prep meetings for the draft will will reconvene in

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: early April, hopefully UH some of it in UM in person,

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: and it's not completely zoom. We're hoping for that. UM.

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: And right now we're involved with with ZOOM session interview

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: sessions in lieu of the indie interviews. We started those

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: last week. We're doing three players a day on average

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: and in the afternoon. So that's where we're at. And finally,

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, just so you want to stand, I completely

17
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: understand why you guys have to ask about contracts and negotiations.

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I understand that. I hope you understand my stance on this.

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Uh Philosophically, it's between the player and the club. I

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's very personal and in terms

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: of time, timelines, contracts get done when they're supposed to

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: get done. So that's the way I feel about it,

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: and you know that's the way it's gonna go when

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: you ask me questions about negotiations and uh, let the

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: questions begin, all Schwartz, New York Post, Hey Dave, how

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: are you? Goodness self? Kid? Good? Thank you good? Um.

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: This is not a negotiation question. Okay, not a negotiation question. Yes,

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: well no, but um, um, last year you had Leonard

29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Williams play under the franchise tag number right, um, this year,

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: how debilitating would it be if you have to do

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: that again with Leonard Williams almost twenty million dollars of cats. Well,

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: we still don't know what the cap number is going

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: to be. We we still don't know that, so I

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: can't really that's a hypothetical. I don't know what the

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: number is gonna be, but it is what it is.

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know the exact number, but it's

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: one eighty now it's not going to be. Yeah, you

38
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: can see we can still theoretically, how much, um would

39
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: it hurt you in free agency moving forward? If you

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: have to a lot all that money to one player

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: on a franchise. Well, it's you know, Paul, obviously, you

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: know it certainly makes it a little more difficult, but

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: we'll operate and we'll manage our Stapleton the record, Hey Dave,

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: with reference to Leonard and the franchise tag, how do

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: you guys officially use the franchise tag on Leonard yet?

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: I know there was a report this morning that you

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: were going to well, yeah, yeah, today's the last day.

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to make it. You know, we'll see

49
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: where it goes. So you haven't made an official decision

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: on that either way. Um, No, I'm waiting for you. No,

51
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: we you know, we'll make a decision later on. Okay.

52
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: And And just in terms of the way this this

53
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: off season is shaking out, I mean, I know last

54
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: year you started one way in terms of how you

55
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: were able to do all your evaluation, you still have

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: the combine, uh, and then obviously everything changed and you

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: had to kind of really fly by the seat of

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: your pants. I'm just curious overall, do you feel, um

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: that it's more challenging less challenging going into this year

60
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: having gone through an off season like last year, or

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: are there are things that you still are kind of

62
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: uncertain as to how things are gonna play out from

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: scouting perspective, from free agency because of the uncertainty that's

64
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: still involved league wide. Well, the you know, the uncertainty

65
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: really doesn't play into unrestricted free agency, all right, those

66
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: are player is that you know you scouted, they're they're

67
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: in the league, That that you know scouting them is

68
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: not an issue. The uncertainty certainly falls into the college

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: draft piece, all right. Last year, despite the fact that

70
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: the world essentially closed down mid mid match, we had

71
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: already had Indie, we had the All Star Games, and

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: obviously it had a full college season with full normal access,

73
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: so you had all that. Okay, this year, obviously it's different.

74
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Um the uh, the way the pro days are set up,

75
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: each team is only going to be allowed to have

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: three people attend, uh and most likely you're going to

77
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: be in the stands. Whether that's in an indoor facility

78
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: or or in a stadium. Who knows, it's going to

79
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: vary from school to school. You also, uh, we we

80
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: also have to have our scouts test and show up

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: with negative tests. So there's a lot of a lot

82
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: of that going on. The other the other problem you're

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna that you have is you know that that critical

84
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, face to face contact. You're not gonna be

85
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 1: able to have it because even at these pro days,

86
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: you're not they're not gonna you're not gonna be allowed

87
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: to have one on ones with the players. So it's

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna be different. You know, We've got a you know,

89
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: I've had conversations with um, you know, uh, other other leagues,

90
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: people in other leagues and how they've handled it, and

91
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: I'll continue those conversations. Um, but you know, really and truly,

92
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: there's always there's always unknowns. There's just more unknowns this year.

93
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: The one thing that I will say is we're used

94
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: to the zoom. We're used to. We're used to operating

95
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: differently and we're used to you know, we're used to

96
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: trying to be innovative as to how we operate. So, um,

97
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: that part of it is ongoing. Respect NBC. Hey, you

98
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: look sharp, you continue to have good health. Thank you. Bruce.

99
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Do you need playmakers? One? Two? More? How do you?

100
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: How do you look at that? You know, Bruce, every

101
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: team needs playmakers. You know, let's let's be honest. Okay, Um,

102
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, good Lord Will and sake k one will

103
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: be a hundred percent and obviously he'll make a huge

104
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: difference healthy sake one. You know, obviously it makes a

105
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: big difference. But you know, again, you're you're always looking

106
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: to add good players. And you know, oh, by the way,

107
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: we're not playing until September, all right, So we've got

108
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: the free agency, we've got the draft, and we'll see

109
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: how it plays out. You know, we're not uh um,

110
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: it's not like we don't realize we're are you know,

111
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: what we need. But again, at the end of the day,

112
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: it's also about adding really good players. You can never

113
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: have too many good players at ape at any position.

114
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: So sure, you know we're we have our eye out

115
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: for that, but we're also have our eye out for

116
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: guys that fit us culturally and and fit what we're where.

117
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: We're trying to get to Tom rockday, Hey, Tom, Hey, Dave.

118
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Um seems like this year, more than ever, there's a

119
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: a lot of potential quarterback moves in the league, and

120
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: Um certainly a lot of high ranking draft picks to

121
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: come out. Joe said a little earlier that you guys

122
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: haven't changed your stance on on Daniel h Was it

123
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: at all attempting to to look at some of those

124
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: possibilities or or uh, you know, how did how did

125
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: you handle that that situation? Well, it's you know, we

126
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, you do your evaluation. We've had Daniel for

127
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: two years. We've done the evaluation on him, and we

128
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: really believe he's the guy. So it's it's no reason

129
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: to you know, no reason to go. Look. I mean everybody,

130
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, what we're doing is in fantasy football. We're

131
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: not playing. We're not doing that. You know, We've we've

132
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: got a conviction on him. He's everything we want. He's

133
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: got all the physical skills. And again I say this

134
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: all the time. You know the guy, the kid just

135
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: finished his second year of of NFL football. All right,

136
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: how many of us after two years at our new job,

137
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: we're great. No, we all start at point A and

138
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: we hopefully get excuse me, hopefully get to point Z.

139
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: But the one common denominator is it takes time. Everybody's

140
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna understand that where we believe in Daniel, and that's

141
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: where it is. Do you feel like there's a a

142
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: deadline to get this team to a championship caliber before

143
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: he gets to a second contract, Like, do you you know,

144
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: do you need to try and build a win on

145
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: his rookie deal. I mean, you're you know, you're you're

146
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: You're given me the window theory, Tom, Is that what

147
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you're talking? I don't. I'm sorry it were doing windows.

148
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't. You know, micro Soft Windows is nice, But

149
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm not a window theory guy. I'm just not. I

150
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: never have been, I never will be. So we're gonna

151
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: keep moving, working the process, keep getting better, and we'll

152
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: when when you know, we'll, we'll get there. Kim Jones,

153
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network. I'm sorry, Hey, David's Kim. Hey Kim, how

154
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: are you hi? Um? Since you arrived back at the Giants,

155
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: I think this is now your four of the rebuild.

156
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: And while I'm sure you might quibble with this, PFF

157
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: had your offensive line ranks one this season in the league.

158
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering where you think you guys are in

159
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: this rebuild and did you think it would be a

160
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: little quicker Frankly, Well, you know, Kim, you know we've

161
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: talked about UM, we've talked about that. Uh. I went

162
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: to Carolina and I you know, the it worked out well,

163
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: it worked out quickly, and you know we all want

164
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: things to happen fast. Um, just for what it's worth.

165
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: You know, the in terms of where our offensive line is.

166
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: They're young and they're talented, and things take time, I said,

167
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, I you know I said it earlier. Things

168
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: take time. You know, we believe in these guys. You know,

169
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: they all came along. We finished the season fairly strong.

170
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: You know. One of the things that I would say

171
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: to you is, you know, we're four and two in

172
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: our division, and if you look at our division, all

173
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: of those defensive lines that we play, all those fronts,

174
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: a big, powerful, athletic defensive lines are guys held up.

175
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: So we're getting there, Kimp, you know, and I just

176
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the old saying. You know, you

177
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta run the ball, and you gotta obviously

178
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: be able to protect the passer. And we're just you

179
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: we're young and we're getting better. You can only say

180
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: you're young if you don't have Zeidler and Solder because

181
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: they're not there right right, So are you implying they're

182
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: gone and the you know, the young guys have to

183
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: make it happen now, I'm not implying that that at all. Kim,

184
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: your offensive line isn't young, Respectfully, you don't have a

185
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: young offensive lineman when your center and your left cad

186
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: and your left tackle rookies, basically you're young. Pat Leonard

187
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: daily news Hey Dave, with the with the uncertainty and

188
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: lack of information in the scouting process this year compared

189
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: to others, is there an argument for trading back in

190
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: the draft more this year than other years and acquiring

191
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: more picks to take more swings at the plate, so

192
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: to speak, or or even maybe moving and acquiring more

193
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: picks next year because the process might yield clearer results

194
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: in the scouting process than it does this year, or

195
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: you handle it, try to handle it as normally as

196
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: possible through all those hurdles. Well, you know, Pat, I

197
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: think that you know, you can make the argument that

198
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: you're going to have the most information on the top

199
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: hundred hundred fifty guys, and as you work backwards, because

200
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: of a lack of touch and whatever, you're not gonna

201
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: have as much information or have as much confidence in

202
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: your ability to to work your way through that through

203
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: that group. All right, you can you can make the

204
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: argument to trade back, all right, because because of this thing, Patrick,

205
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: you were there are gonna be guys that are not

206
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: going to be There are guys in this draft that

207
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: when they put pads on in August, it will be

208
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: the first time in twenty months they'll have put pads on. Okay,

209
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: so you gotta think about that piece. And some of

210
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: those are guys that are very, very highly rated. Okay,

211
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: so you've got to, you know, think about that. Is

212
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: there Your point about moving picks to you know, trading

213
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: back and getting twenty twenty two picks is very valid

214
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: because hopefully we'll be back into a somewhat you know,

215
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: our normal and we'll have we'll be able to draft

216
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: with two with that kind of thorough information that we

217
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: had in really in twenty one but not not got that.

218
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: So you can make an argument for that, Pat you

219
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: can make that argument. Trade back, accumulate picks for next year,

220
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: you can make the argument you sit tight, and you

221
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: can make the argument if you have all the all

222
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: the knowing that most of your that your best information

223
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: is going to be on the top guys, maybe you

224
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: trade up. So who knows. I think I think what

225
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: you're saying is makes a lot of sense. Thanks to

226
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of Hey Tom, Hey Dave, how you doing good

227
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: in yourself, kid good? Can I refer to you as

228
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: an old GM? Wow? That's kidding personal? Sure if that

229
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: makes you happy, have a here's my quick question, UM,

230
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: this year, with a reduced salary cap, do you have

231
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to renego? Is renegotiating with guys with existing contracts more

232
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: of an option this year? The again, the problem you

233
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: have the goal, the goal with them to best manage

234
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: the cap is to get flat contracts. Okay, so if

235
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: a guy's making fifteen million has a three year deal

236
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: at fifty at forty five million, you'd like to have

237
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollar cap number every year. That's the goal.

238
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: If once you start restructuring and renegotiating, you usually back

239
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: in load them all right, and now so you're just

240
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're kicking the can. So it

241
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: depends upon you know, how much pain you want it

242
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: you want to deal with. So that's really what it is.

243
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Some teams are you know, I don't have any you know,

244
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: the philosophically, they just say the heck with it and

245
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: they restructure. And some people don't you know it is

246
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's it's a philosophical conversation. But

247
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a good place to get

248
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: to to consist constantly, restructure, renegotiate. Thank you, Bryan dunleaving

249
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: New York Post. Hey Dave uh, this is your first

250
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: draft since having a lecto with DeAndre Baker pre Dame Gentlemen,

251
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: the Giants were burned by some immaturity issues with Eli Apple,

252
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: with Eric Flowers. I'm wondering if this draft organizationally, you

253
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: guys have tightened standards to wear any hint of a

254
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: red flag. He's a no go for you guys, or

255
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: if that's just not possible because too many talented players

256
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: have at least you know, something into a red play. Yeah.

257
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: See what what I'm gonna say to you, Ryan is

258
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: again you have to remember how young these players are. Okay,

259
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: we're not getting It's not the old days where you

260
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: had four guys that played four years played where almost

261
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: everybody red shirted. Were we're drafting. You know, Andrew Thomas

262
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: had just turned twenty one. You know, I've told you

263
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: before I drafted to twenty year old guys and when

264
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: I was in Carolina. They're coming out younger and younger.

265
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: So there is that there is that peace to them,

266
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: and they've been covered their whole lives, and they've had

267
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: their you know, they've been taken care of and they've

268
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: been covered and and they haven't had to be as

269
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: accountable as maybe they need to have been. So when

270
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: they get to us, they have two things that are

271
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: very dangerous, and it's time and money, and some handle

272
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: it better than others. Ryan, So at the end of

273
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: the day, that is something we really um try to

274
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: work our way through. You know, we talk about maturity

275
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: all the time with players, and again it's it's you know,

276
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: you you you turn around and you you you you know,

277
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: you interview the players and you you ask them the question,

278
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: you know what, what do you think is gonna be

279
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: your biggest challenge? And they turned around and say, well,

280
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have any problems. And I'm saying to myself, well,

281
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, how much does he know? How aware is he,

282
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: how self a ware is he is? Does he really

283
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 1: understand what he's getting into? You know, when I tell

284
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: him you're twenty one years old and you're gonna play

285
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: against the nine year old man who wants to rip

286
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: your lungs out, you know, it's different. You're not You're

287
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: not you're not in college anymore, so you know the

288
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: long way around to that answer, Ryan, is it the

289
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: maturity piece is really important and you and you work

290
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: on it and at the end of the day sometimes

291
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: you're not right. Jordan run on ESPN. Hey, Dave, hope

292
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: you're feeling well said, and then get to my real question.

293
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I said to follow up on one thing

294
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: that Kim is getting at and then get to another question.

295
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: But uh, in regards you, you're talking about a young line.

296
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: If that's the case, are you comfortable going into the

297
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: season with two players that you know in their second

298
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: year like Matt Hurt and uh Andrew Thomas as you

299
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: as your starting tackles? I am yes, okay you honestly,

300
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: we didn't see, we didn't feel a lot of him,

301
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: right so I'm curious what is it you saw that

302
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: gives you that confidence right now? I'm sorry, I said,

303
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: we didn't see a lot of Matt parents So I'm

304
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: wondering what you saw that gives you that confidence that

305
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: you could just starting caliber player right now? Because when

306
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: he played, he played pretty, he played fine, he played

307
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: pretty damn well, you know, and you know at some

308
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: point in time You've got to let the young kids play,

309
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know the Listen, every player was a

310
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: rookie at some point or a young player at some

311
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: point at some point in time. You have to have

312
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: confidence in your who's on your club, and you have

313
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: to put him in there and let him play. You

314
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: know again, I just like I've said to some of

315
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: you before, how many of you had pulled surprise winning

316
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: articles your first a second year? Zach Rosen and j

317
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: dot Com? Can I just ask another one real quick?

318
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Make a quick please? Yes, Dave, we you don't have

319
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: the proverbial you know, number one receiver or you know

320
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: dominant edge rusher that you know the bell cow. I

321
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: think as you were said last year, Uh, how realistic

322
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: is to fill both those spots in one offseason considering

323
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: how much those positions get paid. Well, it's you know,

324
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: it's it's not There is a draft, right, so you

325
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: don't necessarily have to buy them both. And we're just

326
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: gonna see how it plays out, see what guys are

327
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: worth and what the what the expense costs iron We'll

328
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: just keep moving forward. Zach Rosenblatt and Jay dot Com. Hey, Dave, um,

329
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: you guys added Uh Kyle Brian your front office the

330
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: other day. I'm curious, so what went into that decision,

331
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: what's his role going to be in the front office

332
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: and what what do you think you can kind of

333
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: bring to the day. Well, you know, what Kyle brings

334
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: is a variety of experiences. You know, he's he's uh,

335
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: he's been a he's worked in pro he's been he's

336
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: been obviously a college scout, a director of college scouting,

337
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: a vice president of player personnel. You know, Kyle went

338
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: to have it. And we're always looking to add smart people.

339
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: So he's uh, you know, he's a you know, quality

340
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: evaluator and we had a chance to add him, and

341
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: you want to add quality people. So I will be

342
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: very involved in what we're doing. Chris Carlin ESPN. Such

343
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: of something you were talking about earlier with less information

344
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: that you guys can get this year and everybody's in

345
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: the same boat. But is there a little bit more

346
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: uneasiness as a GM going into a draft like this

347
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: when you don't necessarily have access to the people that

348
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: are around these players, or you don't get to see

349
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: these players in person. Just where that level isn't and

350
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: if there is a number like a percentage of less

351
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: information that you would have on a prospect this year

352
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: when evaluating him than you normally would. It really, Chris,

353
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole lack of what makes you uncomfortable

354
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: is the lack of um personal contact you have with

355
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: the players. You know that that's really what it is,

356
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: watching them operate, talking to him UM. Just not having

357
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: that personal touch is very difficult. The other thing that's

358
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: that's that that is uh strange is you know, most

359
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: of the time when you're going into when you're talking

360
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: about players in April, once all this, you know, smoke

361
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: is cleared and you've had all you You've had Indy,

362
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: you've had your pro days. You have your own personal

363
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: measurements on these guys. You've got the forty dash times

364
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: your times. Okay, so this is gonna be a lot

365
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: of information that we're hoping as accurate, you know, and

366
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: we're and we're and crispy you know, because of that,

367
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into We always talk about UM when

368
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: we talk about players, we talk about play speed. I mean,

369
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: you know, I've been you know, pretty vocal about Indie

370
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: being the underwear Olympics, and you know, last time I

371
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: checked when you play football, you have full pads on.

372
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's not what a guy runs on in

373
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: a forty dash time, it's how fast he plays. So

374
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna come into in a in a

375
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: focus even more. But it's not so much we we

376
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: can get with, you know, the coach, assistant coaches and

377
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: other folks. That's not the problem. The problem is the

378
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: personal contact with the players. And where are the measurables

379
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: coming from, and and and in terms of especially for

380
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: me more so, it's the height and the weight and

381
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: the and the and the bodies. You know, measurements the

382
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: foty dashes, not um uh you know that's that's a watch.

383
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: And I really believe in play speed. So that it

384
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: is a little unsettling Chris, because you're you know, it's

385
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: it's I've said this before. You know, what we're doing

386
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: is educated guessing. Okay, So this this makes us a

387
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: little more uneducated, not having this personal touch with these players,

388
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: with the doctors in particular the medical stuff, not having

389
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: your own doctors get a chance to look at them

390
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: to where that plays in. Yeah that you know, sure,

391
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, because you know, like I said, it's it's

392
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: there they're gonna have some kind of there is gonna

393
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: be an an indian in regards to UM medical UM.

394
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: I believe they're talking about having the top one fifty

395
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: go to Indianapolis and have a full thorough medical. There's

396
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot. There's gonna be some telehealth interviews

397
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: involved and whatever, excuse me and whatever. But sure, it's

398
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a little unsettling, it is, you know, with

399
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: the with the medical piece, because there's some unknowns. More

400
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: unknowns you have, the more unsettling it is. We'll take

401
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: three more. Matt, Patty Darrow, Matt Lombardo, fast it, Dave,

402
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: has it going good? Matt, how are you good? I'm

403
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: curious when it comes to say Kwon Barkley situation coming

404
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: off the injury, do you guys need to see him

405
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: on the field before opening up long term contract talks

406
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: and just just curious what the injury history placed into

407
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: that UM as he goes into his fourth year. Well,

408
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the discussion, Okay, And obviously

409
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to make a decision to spring on

410
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: picking up whether we pick up his fifth year option

411
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: or not. But you know, certainly, you know it's again

412
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: we get back to that medical question. It's unknown, and

413
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: you know what you have to do is get your

414
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: trainer and your doctors involved and making make your best decision.

415
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: Thanks at the trainer, Giants Country. Hey Dave, how you

416
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: doing good? New pat doing well? Thanks Dave. Last year,

417
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't think you had any undrafted free agents. Actually

418
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: I take that back. I think Nico made it, made

419
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: the roster later in the season. But with that's it.

420
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel like, given the circumstances, that

421
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: you're missing out on maybe some smaller school gems and

422
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: have you adjusted how you're you're going about your scouting

423
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: process to maybe pick up some of these guys and

424
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: paying more attention to them. Well, the problem you gotta remember, Patty,

425
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: last year we had ten draft picks, Okay, so that's

426
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: an unusual number. So you can make the argument that

427
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: those four seventh you know, you take three of the

428
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: seventh round picks, the last three, and if we had

429
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: signed them after the draft, you know, I mean one

430
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: of them, one of them was it was cheese and

431
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: crack as it was the inside linebacker um from Georgia.

432
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Take Crawford, uh and um one of them was Chris

433
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: Williamson was on the practice squad. So and the other guy,

434
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it wasn't Cam Brown. Camp Brown

435
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: was a sixth. But the point is those guys made

436
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: our club. Okay, so you can look at those as

437
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: as free agent signings after the draft. The other thing

438
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: you have to remembers right now, some of those schools

439
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: are playing, Patty, you know, some of the smaller school

440
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: guys are playing, and you know, we'll do the best

441
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: we can with evaluating them. You know, it's it's this

442
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: film available builders. You know, we're trying. You're trying to

443
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: run and drect You're trying to get all the draft

444
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: information and look at these kids. So it's a challenge.

445
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: It's a challenge, but we're gonna we're working at it.

446
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. Your last question here, Davis later in j

447
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: dot Com, Hey, Dave, I hope you're doing well. Yeah,

448
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: So big picture here, Um, I guess i'll end on that.

449
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: You guys have won five, four and six games in

450
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: your three seasons here. What are your expectations about how

451
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: much better this team should be this year now that

452
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: you feel like you have kind of settled things at quarterback,

453
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: which is a big question. How much better should this

454
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: team be in you know, you know obviously there's you know,
