15
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: them for New Orleans Saints dot Com. Then our little

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 4: bonus interview. I did about three and a half minutes

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: give or take with Wanda Robinson in the Giants' locker

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: room this week, talking about the loss of malink neighbors

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 4: and how the wide Receiver group is gonna try to

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 4: make up for that loss as best they can. And

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 4: then finally, as always, we have Bob Poppa with the

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: head coach of the New York Football Giants, Brian Dable.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: Thanks for being with us, everybody. I am John Schmelk.

24
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: Let's get to our first interview, Theo Johnson.

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: Well, we're joined by Giants tight end Theo Johnson as

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: they prepare for this game against the Saints. And I

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: think the one thing that everybody wants to ask right

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: away is when you lose an impact player like Molik

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 3: Neighbors to the injury, that first time without him is

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: going to be significantly different, especially for a guy who's

31
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: got so much ability. What are your expectations in terms

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: of how the offense will operate in his absence and

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: also how the defense decides to play you guys differently

34
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: knowing he's not there.

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, you know, and you lose there's no replacement leak,

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: there's nothing else to say about that. You can't replace

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: a guy like that. But it's just going to be

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: on everyone else on offense to pick up a little

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: bit more slack, do a little bit more in the

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: game plan, and then you know as to what the

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: defense is going to do. You know, might see some

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: more man that we've seen than we've seen the last

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, just because you know, we don't have

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Malik out there. But I'm super confident all the guys

45
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: and I think everyone's gonna do a good job of

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: picking up the slack that he left off.

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: All Right, we all know you can't just fill the shoes.

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: Is it the speed, the yak yardage? The intimidation factor

49
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: that he is such a big play guy, which do

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: you think is the biggest aspect that has to be

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: compensated for?

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's just you know, he has a

53
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: lot of production. He gets a lot of targets, a

54
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: lot of catches, so those are going to have to

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: be filled by someone else or probably in our case,

56
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: a multiple of other people. It's not going to just

57
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: be one guy that fills that hole and you know

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: gets all those targets. Are gonna have to be on

59
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: everybody else, you know, to make those plays and they

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: come their way.

61
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: One of the things we saw last week is that

62
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: the Giants ran the ball forty two times and only

63
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 3: had twenty one pass attempts against the Chargers, which means

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: the running game is also going to have to pick

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: up some of this offense's responsibility as a tight end.

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 3: Your role, you do everything. You're an all around tight end.

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: But how do things change for you when you know

68
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: you might be a heavy running team?

69
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: Uh?

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: You know that that's that's something. As a tight end,

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: you know that you're gonna be asked, like you said,

72
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: to do everything. So, you know, we wanted to establish

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: our run game early in the season. I think we've

74
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: done a good job of that last week. I think

75
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 2: having a you know, a good QB run game has helped.

76
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: It helps open up a whole lot of other things,

77
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: you know, so we don't bad eyes a ten end unit.

78
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: Knowing that we're gonna have to run the ball a

79
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: little bit more and honestly run the ball well helps

80
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: open everything else up in the past game. So having

81
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: a good running game is really important for the game play.

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: We always ask offensive lineman when you have a mobile

83
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: quarterback behind you, do you kind of have an instinct

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: about where he's going to go and what he's going

85
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: to do and how he's going to extend to play?

86
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: As a tight end, you run the end of that

87
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: line a lot of times? Do you have to also

88
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: kind of account for that too?

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one thing our coaches have been telling us

90
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: since Jackson's taken over, is you know, you always got

91
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: to stay alive. You always like the play is never over.

92
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: When you think it's over, he's gonna scramble, He's gonna

93
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: you know, he plays with his feet. So even when

94
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: you think the play's donner, or you might think he

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: might be somewhere, you got to stay alive and keep playing.

96
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: All right now. One of the things that I thought

97
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: was very important that we saw the other day, Cam

98
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: Skataboo is the kind of guy who seems to energize

99
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: you folks. He makes one of those dirty yard yardage runs,

100
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: tough runs, barrels into some people, drags some people. It

101
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: looks as though I certainly know what energizes the crowd,

102
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: it looks like it energizes you guys in the huddle

103
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: as well. Could you discuss maybe the emotional impact that

104
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 3: one of his runs has on you guys.

105
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, playing with the energy and effort and toughness and

106
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: grit that he plays with, Like you said, it energize

107
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: the whole team, not just the offense. The defensive guys

108
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: watch they see a guy that's giving us all out there.

109
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: That gives them juice to then you know, play there

110
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: all it asks everybody to elevate their game. When you

111
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: see a guy that's still running and you might be

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: jogging on the backside and you know he's not going down,

113
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: you got to run and catch up and try and

114
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: make a block form. Can't just you know, watch a play.

115
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: So I think what he's done, the energy he's he's

116
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 2: brought not only with his play, but with his energy

117
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: on the sideline and how he you know, approaches being

118
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: a leader on the team has really brought a lot

119
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: of juice to us.

120
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a little bit about also the

121
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: run blocking, because there are times when it's a tight

122
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: end you might be asked to be a full back.

123
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: Or an h back.

124
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: Now. I don't know how much of that you did

125
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: at Penn State. What has that been a difficult transition

126
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: for times when you're asked to do that?

127
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: Not at all. At Penn State, I played everywhere. I

128
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: played in the backfield, h back all the way out wide.

129
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: Honestly similar to what I'm doing now. I'm not doing

130
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: a ton of h back stuff now, but you know

131
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: I'm still asked to do it. You know, you've seen

132
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: last game. I was leaning up on some full back

133
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: die stuff. So you know, it's something I've done a

134
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: lot in college. It's something I'm comfortable doing, and I

135
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: wouldn't say it was a difficult transition for me. All right.

136
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: I want to go back to a second for the

137
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: inspirational emotion that Scataboo has. Your quarterback has that too,

138
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: And I'd love to know what he is like in

139
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: the huddle because you would hit seem to have a

140
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: good chemistry going yeah.

141
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know Jackson. Jackson has a lot of juice,

142
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: great energy, just a natural leader. The way he you know,

143
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: he talks. He commands everyone's attention when he's in the huddle,

144
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: and I think that's that's really important as a quarterback

145
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: to to have your respect of everyone else is blocking

146
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: for you. You know, when when we get lined up, we

147
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we're protecting our guy back

148
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: there because we know that you know, he's gonna he's

149
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: gonna get those gritty yards as a quarterback, he's gonna

150
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: throw his thrown a hand into someone's face. And as

151
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: a protector, you know, we want to protect a guy

152
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: that's gonna give us all for the team.

153
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: He seems to have such a confidence and assertiveness when

154
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: we see him at practice. We've seen him a little

155
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: bit in the games obviously, but we also talk to

156
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: him in interviews. He has a maturity that bealis his age.

157
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you're on your second, your player, yourself,

158
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: but he seems like a guy who's been in this

159
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: league for eight nine years.

160
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Jackson is probably one of the most

161
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: confident people I've ever met. And it's you know, it's

162
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: unwavering confidence. It doesn't matter what anyone else is saying,

163
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: what the outsider world saying, what other people might think,

164
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: any preconceived notions. He believes with one hundred percent certainty

165
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in his heart that he's the best. He's gonna make plays,

166
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna win the game, He's gonna do his part

167
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: to help us win the game. And I think that's

168
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: a trait that is is invaluable, Like it's is something

169
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: that you just you can't put a price on.

170
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: Right, how much do you think it helps his offense

171
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: to have Andrew Thomas back in the lineup. We saw

172
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: him play a full game last week, obviously blindside protection

173
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: for the quarterback, but it really goes further than that,

174
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 3: doesn't it.

175
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Man I I love playing next at especially you know,

176
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: as a as a young ted end last year, you know,

177
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the first six game I got to play with him, Like,

178
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: I really saw what having a you know, a pro

179
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl All Pro left tackle playing next to him,

180
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: just his knowledge of the game, you know what, like

181
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: it helps me play better. So having him back has

182
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: been been huge. He's he's such a great player and

183
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm really glad to see him back healthy.

184
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: You know, It's funny lot of times people will talk

185
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: about they'll say, well, you know, how can one guy

186
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: make that much of a difference, But when you are

187
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: that much of a talent and you're that much of

188
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: a steadying influence on everybody else, it does make a difference.

189
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Huge, Yeah, huge difference. Like like I said, when you

190
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: have a guy that just knows so much he helps

191
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: everyone else around him. Yeah, and especially with the old line,

192
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: like they all have to work in tandem, they all

193
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: set as one, they all work as one. You take

194
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: a you know, a pivotal piece like that out, it

195
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: causes some waves, It caused some changes, and having them

196
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: back has just been huge, I know for me personally,

197
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: but also other tight ends. And I'm sure the other

198
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: Lineman as well.

199
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: All right, let me go back to Jackson for a second.

200
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart the quarterback in case I didn't say his

201
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: last name before. I think you know who he is.

202
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 3: We've heard stories that last week, going in to his

203
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: first NFL start, he made a lot of phone calls

204
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: late at night to the coach, to some of the receivers.

205
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: Did you get one of those phone calls? What was that?

206
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 5: Like?

207
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Man, Jackson will call me at all weird hours of

208
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: the night. He called me late late one night this

209
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: week and I was say, man, what is this guy doing?

210
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: And I wasn't sure where he was he was. He

211
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: was up in Dave's office and they were talking about

212
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: the red zone plan. I mean, he's talking to me

213
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: about some of the red zone plays, and you know

214
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: what he sees my role being on a particular play.

215
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: That guy is always the last one out of the building,

216
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Like he is here all hours of the day. He

217
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: truly invests himself and gives himself to, you know, to

218
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: this organization. Just just seeing the way he's worked, it's

219
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: exactly what you want to see in your starting quarterback.

220
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: I think it's interesting because I've been telling people that Wilson.

221
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 3: Wilson certainly provided a lot of leadership, and he lets

222
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: you guys know what it takes to be a champion. Heck,

223
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: he's gone to the super Bowl twice in one one.

224
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: But I think the quarterback room there was a lot

225
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: of influence there. I don't know Jackson from his days

226
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: at Old Miss, so I can't test his study habits there.

227
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: I suspect they were really good, I really do. But

228
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 3: I think Russell Wilson has also kind of helped all

229
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: of you guys in that locker room about detail and

230
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: about focus and about hey, you got to be a winner.

231
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: Well you got to do these things, am I right? Yeah?

232
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: I think you know, for me being a being a

233
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: younger player in this league, seeing a guy that's a

234
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: proven guy in this league knows what it looks like

235
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: to be on a championship level team. Uh, Seeing how

236
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: he's approached his work every day, how consistent he's been,

237
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: I know it's helped me, and I'm sure it's helped

238
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: Jackson and other quarterbacks and everyone else on this team.

239
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 3: Now, did you go to the tight end university school

240
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: during this whole season? I did?

241
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

242
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: All right, So at the obvious question, what did you

243
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: gain from that? How? How did that help make you

244
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: better this year? Yeah?

245
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: I think you know, the biggest thing I took away

246
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: from that, it was a great experience. I was around

247
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: all the top, you know, top ten ends in the league,

248
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: guys that have been in the league prior and have

249
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: had a ton of experience and done a lot of

250
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: great things. And I think, you know, the biggest thing

251
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: for me I learned personally is bringing more physicality into

252
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: every aspect of the game. So sometimes in the route game,

253
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: I try and like to be cute. I play receiver

254
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: in high school, so sometimes I like to rely on

255
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: my speed. And you know, the thing I learned there

256
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 2: is like, man, you're two hundred and sixty pounds, you're

257
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: big and fast. That is very hard to cover. But

258
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: if you only use one of those aspects, it makes

259
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: it just a little bit easier for the defender to cover.

260
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: But if you use everything, you possess your size, your speed,

261
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: your strength, and every single play, you're gonna wear guys

262
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: down as the game goes on.

263
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: Okay, well, now this week you're gonna play in the Superdome.

264
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 3: What is the loudest dome building that you've played in

265
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 3: so far throughout your career in college obviously as well.

266
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: I can't think of many domes I've played in. Honestly,

267
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I played in the dome in college.

268
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: This will be I mean, from what I've heard, probably

269
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: allows one I've played in.

270
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 3: So it does beg the question about the adjustment you

271
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: guys are gonna have to make. We know the loud

272
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: speakers are blessing pretty good out here in practice, but

273
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: this is definitely going to be an experience for you.

274
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: And are you curious as to how you're going to navigin.

275
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: You know, I I think, you know, playing in a dome,

276
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: having an enclosed definitely, you know, helps the sound echo

277
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: and stuff. I played at a very big school. We

278
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: played in a lot of really you know, big competitive games.

279
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: I playing a lot of really loud games. So I'd

280
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: like to say that I'm prepared for the noise. But

281
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: it's definitely it's definitely going to be an adjustment. You know,

282
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure how how loud it's going to be,

283
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: but I'm confident that I'll be able to to be

284
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: able to handle the noise.

285
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: The one thing I do want to ask you about

286
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: the Saints before I let you go. They've got some

287
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: really stout linebackers. Mario Davis has been doing this a

288
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: long long time this league, so I'm sure you're well

289
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: aware of you know, what they're going to bring to

290
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: the table. I'm not going to ask you for the

291
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: game plan, obviously, but is there just in general, one

292
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: thing that you believe you've got to be able to

293
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: do to set the foundation of success this week.

294
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it kind of goes back to what

295
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: I was talking about earlier. It's it's it's being really

296
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: productive in the run game, getting those linebackers to step

297
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: up to help open up the pass game. They're they're

298
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: super physical downhill linebackers, and I think if we run

299
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: the wall, well we can get a hat on those

300
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: linebackers on every down. I think that's going to help

301
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: open a lot of the other things in the back end.

302
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: Well, it was certainly a pleasure to walk into that

303
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: winning locker room last week after the Chargers game. I

304
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: know you guys are it shouldn't get that feeling.

305
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: Again, for sure, no doubt.

306
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: THEO Johnson, we wish you the best of luck. Thanks

307
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: for taking the time. Thank you, Puddle up, get in here.

308
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: If you're lined up here, you gotta go over the

309
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: middle with at the score great.

310
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,200

330
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: You got a chance to win too, straight.

331
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: And I keep telling them when they call up our

332
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: big Blue Kickoff Live show here on Giants dot Com.

333
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, you know what the Saints are thinking, we'reroing four.

334
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: We have a chance to get our first one of

335
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: the year. The Giants are coming to tad right.

336
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and that's that's one of these games.

337
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 6: You know, if you got one and three team minute

338
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 6: zero and fourteen, both are looking at the other one

339
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 6: like they have a port chop around the next saying,

340
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 6: you know what, we can get one. And so you know,

341
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 6: that's that's the that's the attitude that the Saints have

342
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,479
Speaker 6: to have because you know, it's been so so disappointing

343
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 6: so far this season with the four losses, and of

344
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 6: course the Giants. You know, you change quarterbacks, you increase

345
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 6: the enthusiastic and you get that new quarterback you bring

346
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 6: in the New Orleans and you feel like you got a

347
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 6: chance to get to in a row.

348
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: Tonically, the last game the Saints won last year was

349
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: against the Giants, so though of a chance to try

350
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: to repeat that performance, John, you mentioned the quarterback situation

351
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: with the Giants. They went to a new quarterback, Saint

352
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: sticking with Spencer Ratler.

353
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: You look at his numbers.

354
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: Good interception to touchdown ratio, it seems pretty efficient, but

355
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: just overall production moving the ball yards per play, that's

356
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: not there. So what needs to happen with Ratler and

357
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 4: this offense is just get more consistent production and really

358
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: explosive plays out of this passing game.

359
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, maybe they have to scheme these guys better,

360
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: you know, scheme them open a little bit better. Now

361
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 6: the protection has to be able to hold up. And

362
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 6: part of that is, I don't know necessarily that teams

363
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 6: are respecting the team the Saints as a passing team.

364
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 6: They're saying, okay, we'll we'll go all out for the run,

365
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: but we don't think you can you can get off

366
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage on us. We don't think you

367
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 6: can hold up long enough in pass protection to be

368
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: able to get guys deep. And the Saints have some

369
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 6: guys who can.

370
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: Run fast, obviously Rashis Shahi, Chris olave.

371
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 6: On, Brandon Cooks, but none of those guys have any

372
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 6: chunk plays this season because the Saints have not been

373
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 6: able to hold up so far in terms of protection

374
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 6: with Spencer Ratler. So that's going to be job one,

375
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 6: be able to hold up long enough for him to

376
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: be able to get into the progressions and get a

377
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: guy deep.

378
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 5: And you know, it's a lot easier said than it.

379
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 6: Sounds, because when you're playing against really good defensive teams,

380
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 6: especially teams that have really good defensive linemen, which the

381
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 6: Giants do, they able to beat people, They able to

382
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: get to the quarterback and they rush him and they

383
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 6: get him off his marks and they speed him up,

384
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: and so he's got to basically check down and do

385
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 6: those kinds of things. And I think another thing you

386
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 6: have to factor in is Spencer Ratler went through a

387
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: quarterback battle to win the job, and you don't want

388
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 6: to lose the job by making a series of mistakes.

389
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 5: So I don't necessarily.

390
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 6: Know if he's being too guarded, but certainly that I

391
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 6: would imagine that's got to be in his mind somewhere

392
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 6: that I don't want to turn the ball over.

393
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 5: I don't want to turn it over.

394
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: And so he's doing everything he possibly can to make

395
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 6: sure he doesn't turn it over.

396
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: With John is ironic because when he was coming out

397
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: I remember watching him in college. He was kind of

398
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: considered that like wild horse, playmaker, throw it all over

399
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: the yard type. It almost seems like he's kind of

400
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 4: pulled back on that almost a little bit.

401
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 6: Too much, right, Oh, absolutely, And I mean, and again,

402
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: I think part of it is when you're in a

403
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 6: quarterback battle, you know that the other guy's breathing down

404
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 6: your neck, and so you know everything's factoring in, and

405
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 6: especially as a quarterback, as much as anything, it's turnovers.

406
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 6: That's what contributes to non winning its turnovers. Now Saint

407
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 6: still has not been able to win, but Spencer Rallley

408
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: has played clean enough to where they've been in really

409
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 6: three of the games. The blowout was at Seattle forty

410
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 6: four to thirteen, and that's almost an anomaly where it

411
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: was just like, what in the world is this one

412
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 6: of the that was really one of the worst play

413
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 6: games I can remember it and I've been covering this

414
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 6: team since like ninety two, and so it really was

415
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 6: not a well played game in any phase of the game.

416
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 5: But for the most part, sincer Rally's been cleaned with

417
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 5: the ball.

418
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 6: He's done a lot of checkdowns, but again he's been.

419
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: Cleaned with the ball. He hasn't turned it over.

420
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 6: He's missed a couple of big throws in the end

421
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 6: zone which could have been pivotal and could have swayed

422
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 6: games in the Saints favor. But for the most part,

423
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 6: he's done his job. But again I can imagine him

424
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 6: not wanting to try to do too much because again

425
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 6: you've got that rookie Tyler Shuck on the bench behind you,

426
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 6: number forty overall pick, and he's chomping at the bit

427
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 6: to be able to get in the game and give

428
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 6: his best accounting of himself. And so if you're special Routley,

429
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 6: you're saying, Okay, not only do I want to win games,

430
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 6: but also want to make sure I hold off the

431
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 6: guy behind me.

432
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 4: You mentioned the offensive lineman. Your first answer, Caesar Rui

433
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 4: is not going to play in this game. I imagine Dylan

434
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 4: Radns will be in for him.

435
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 6: You think it could be him, And then more than now,

436
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 6: it could be the rookie Torriscelli. I can't remember his

437
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 6: last name, that's Simpkins, Yeah, Simpkins. Simpkins will probably be

438
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 6: there if Raidens can go. And so, you know, unfortunately

439
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 6: for the Saints, you know, this is a continuing issue

440
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 6: from years past where they've had linemen get injured, they've

441
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 6: had key players be injured, and they've had to have

442
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 6: the next guy step up and that kind of thing.

443
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 6: So you know, my theory on that is always you know,

444
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 6: the next guy is the next guy for a reason.

445
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 5: He's not the starter for a reason.

446
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 6: So you obviously have a little bit of a drop

447
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 6: off there, but you hope Simpkins can come in and

448
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 6: hold up as well or better than Caesar Ruiz has.

449
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 6: And basically you've got the rest of your offensive line

450
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 6: in place. And look, the Saints have invested high picks

451
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 6: and good funds into that offensive line, and so you

452
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 6: would hope, you would love for that to be the

453
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 6: best unit on this team, and so far this season

454
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: it has not been. So hopefully this game will be

455
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 6: a step in that direction. They certainly need to be

456
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 6: against the Giants defensive line, but you want that to

457
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 6: be the best unit on the team because that gives

458
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: your offense the best chance to be efficient, That protects

459
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 6: your young quarterback and gives him a comfort level, and

460
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: it justifies the picks and the seedings that you have

461
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 6: in those guys.

462
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ravens did play a bunch. Trevor Penning came back

463
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 4: last week. He played a guard. How is that transition

464
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: gone from him going from tackle to guard, and then

465
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 4: how of the two young tackles Calvin Banks and tell

466
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 4: you Flanga done well.

467
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 6: Really, Trevor Finning probably would have been best served to

468
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 6: start off at guard, even though he started out.

469
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 5: At tackle, that's where he was drafted.

470
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 6: But he played tackle at a small college.

471
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: And look, he's a big bruiser. He is a guy

472
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 5: who probably.

473
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 6: Is better in short areas in terms of being able

474
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: to get his hands on people, overpower people, man handle people.

475
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 6: He didn't have the greatest feet in the world. That's

476
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 6: why it didn't really work for him at tackle. But

477
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 6: I think at guard he will be much better because

478
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 6: he just gets to get in there and maul of

479
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 6: god the guy in front of you, get your hands

480
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 6: on him and get him off the ball. He is

481
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 6: very capable of doing that. The young tackles now Tyley

482
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 6: Foaga on the right tackle. He switched from left tackle

483
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 6: last year. He's going back to right tackle, which had

484
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 6: been exclusively his position. He admittedly has struggled some at

485
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 6: right tackle this season so far, so he's got to

486
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 6: get his feet wet because he played pretty good at

487
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 6: left tackle last year. So now he's back at the

488
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 6: right tackle, which is more natural for him, but he's

489
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: based having to kind of rediscover it. So you know,

490
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 6: hopefully he'll fall in line and get his rhythm back

491
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 6: because he's a really good player. Kevin Banks, junior left

492
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 6: tackle has really been, you know, worth the pick. I

493
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 6: think he was number eight overall and he's really been

494
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 6: a good enough guy there to basically on draft night

495
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: he became your starting left tackle and he played that

496
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 6: way and I think he's going to continue to play

497
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 6: that way. So the Saints, all things considered, should knock

498
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 6: On Wood be set at offensive tackle for the next

499
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 6: eight ten years with those two guys because both of

500
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 6: them have really good feet, both of them have really

501
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 6: good hands. They can protect the quarterbacks, and that's what

502
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: you have to have out there on those edges, especially

503
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 6: when you're going against edge rushers and guys who can

504
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: really get the quarterbacks.

505
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: All right, final thing on offense before we jump over

506
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 4: to the defense here, John Alvin Kamar Kendre Miller. I

507
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 4: feel like teams are really loading up the box against

508
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: those guys, so I feel like they both look pretty explosive.

509
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 4: When I rewatched a couple of your games, the numbers

510
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 4: look pretty good. What have the Saints gone out of

511
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 4: their run game on theyer Kellen Moore.

512
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 6: Well, I mean they have, especially in this last game.

513
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: They really both performed well, ran well against Buffalo and

514
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 6: Buffalo was the worst to run defense in the NFL,

515
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 6: but the Saints were able to take advantage of it.

516
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 6: And look, he's just got to be able to take

517
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 6: advantage of the teams that you play. Alvin Kamara year

518
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 6: nine really does not look like he's lost much of

519
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: a step. He's you know, he's a guy who glides.

520
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 6: You know, he'll give you some between the tackle stuff,

521
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: He'll give you some on the perimeter stuff. He's a

522
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 6: really good receiver historically, and so he's he's been a

523
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 6: guy who who really is reliable. He gives you everything

524
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 6: you want to run it back. But Kendre Miller is

525
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 6: a guy who gives you a little bit of thunder.

526
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: And that's what the Saints need, kind of that yin

527
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 6: and yang. That's what they had with mark Ingram, when

528
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 6: they had with Alvin Kamara. He gives you that thumper

529
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: who can get in there and really be physical as

530
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 6: a runner. And finally, I think it's his third season,

531
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 6: he seems to be adapting to what the Saints want

532
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 6: from him, and that's a great thing because they're gonna

533
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 6: need him because Alvin Kamara has been nicked up the

534
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 6: last couple of years, and Kendre Milder's been nicked up also,

535
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 6: he hadn't played much. So you have that guy who

536
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 6: you can take some of that pressure off Alvin Kamara.

537
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 6: You want to keep Alvins touches down to probably eighteen

538
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 6: twenty two a game, you know, including receivering. But if

539
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 6: you can get Kendrey Miller another ten twelve touches in

540
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 6: there in terms of carries, that really can agera offense

541
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 6: some All.

542
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Right, let's go to defense.

543
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 4: What when opposing offensive coordinators put on the tape they

544
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 4: watched the stans they prepare for the games, who's the

545
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: guy there kind of circling with that red sharpie that

546
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: all right, this is the guy we need to shut down,

547
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 4: slow down.

548
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: If you want to have success against this defense, well.

549
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 6: It's probably it's probably edge rusher Karl Granderson. Granda was

550
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 6: having a really nice year. He's getting to the quarterback

551
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 6: and that's something that you know two years ago he

552
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 6: did really well.

553
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 5: I think he had eight and a half sacks. He

554
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 5: dropped down last year.

555
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 6: He gained weight because he's playing you know, traditional defensive

556
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 6: end in the four to three and so he wanted

557
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 6: to be able to take on double teams and sometimes

558
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: he slid down and played defensive tackle on rushdowns and

559
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 6: those kinds of things.

560
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 5: So he had a little bit of weight. He shed

561
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 5: that weight in the offseason.

562
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 6: I think he's down to like two seventy from you

563
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 6: know two eighty five or so. So getting him out

564
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: in space and on the edge, he's really been a

565
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 6: guy who you know, his motor runs, he's able to

566
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: get to the quarterback. He's pretty relentless. Uh, he will

567
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 6: take on blockers. But he really has benefited from moving

568
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 6: to the edge and having the freedom. So he's the

569
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 6: guy who really has been disrupted the most. Now, you know,

570
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: Cam Jordan's still you know, he's still the old warrior.

571
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: He's got three and a half sacks. I'm thinking, you know,

572
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 6: two and a half sacks, so he's really still got.

573
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 5: A little something going there.

574
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 6: You know, he's not a guy who's going to be

575
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 6: out of juice, but really called Grandison is the guy

576
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 6: who has been directing the most attention, the guy that

577
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 6: you have to worry about, because when you get guys

578
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 6: getting to the quarterback, the first thing you have to

579
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 6: worry about if you were in offense, is is that

580
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 6: guy going to get the ball out of the quarterback's hands.

581
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 6: Is he going to slap it out of his hands?

582
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 6: Is he going to call the fumble? Is he going

583
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 6: to get the quarterback off his market and create a turnover?

584
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 6: And Carl Grandison's probably the guy who's most likely to

585
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 6: do that.

586
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 4: All right, two of the guys on the line, I

587
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 4: want to ask you about one. How close is Chase

588
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 4: Young coming back? I know they said probably not gonna

589
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: play this week? Is he getting close for you guys

590
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 4: real quick? And then Brian Berza, who was a first

591
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 4: round pick a couple of years ago, for you of

592
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 4: how is he coming along?

593
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Do you sense a breakout might be upcoming for him?

594
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 5: Well?

595
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: First, first part of that is Chase I really don't

596
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 6: have any idea. We thought he was going to be

597
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 6: ready by now, and whatever that injury is is lingering

598
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 6: a little bit longer than we thought. It's a calf injury,

599
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 6: but you know it must have been either more serious.

600
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 6: They said he didn't have a setback, so it must

601
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 6: have been, you know, just a little bit more serious

602
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 6: than everybody thought. And of course calves are kind of,

603
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: you know, tricky, so you got to be careful with

604
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 6: him when you do get him back. So I really

605
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 6: don't have any idea. Hopefully it will be next week

606
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 6: against New England. We know he's been ruled out of

607
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 6: these first five and the Saints need him. They need

608
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: him on that edge, So you know, the sooner he's back,

609
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 6: the better because you know he's one of those first

610
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 6: guy off the bus guys. Yeah, you want him the

611
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 6: first guy off the bus because he is a specimen

612
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 6: and he looks that way on the football field when

613
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 6: he's out there. But you know, hey, the best ability

614
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 6: availability and he hadn't been available thisear so you know

615
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 6: the Saints really need him on the field. Brian Berzi. Yeah,

616
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 6: he could be in for a breakout because you know,

617
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 6: we saw some of it last year where you know,

618
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 6: he's got to spind move that is really really lethal

619
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 6: when he's in that short area and guys have a

620
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 6: tough time keeping their hands on him.

621
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: So we expect to see more of that of that

622
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: out end.

623
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 6: He got his first sack of the season last week

624
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 6: against Josh Allen and hopefully he'll be able to get

625
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 6: some more here, because you know, he's the guy who's

626
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 6: who's really disruptive at times, and he can do that consistently,

627
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 6: you know, within the within the Saints rotation. So hopefully

628
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 6: he's the guy who's who's kind of finding his way

629
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 6: in there, because again you switch from four to three

630
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 6: to three four, and now he's you know, in a

631
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 6: different area, and so hopefully he'll be able to turn

632
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 6: it up a little bit more here as we go along.

633
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: All right, two more questions John before we get you

634
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: out of here. The secondary, How is Brendon Stale using them?

635
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 4: Are we still seeing a lot of that, you know,

636
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: to safety shell rotate out of that, not putting extra

637
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 4: guys in the box. And by I was really impressed

638
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: with with with Jonah Sanker last week. I thought he

639
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 4: had the pick. He had two good plays covering tight

640
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: ends in that game. So how is Staley kind of

641
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: using that secondary? And what do you see from Sanka

642
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: the rookie?

643
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: Well, I think it was a little bit. I think

644
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 5: it has been a little bit more zone.

645
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 6: You see some gaps and you know it's it's you know,

646
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 6: you want to keep things underneath, obviously, and it's going

647
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 6: to be as effective as the pass rush is. And

648
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 6: the Saints haven't had a great pass rush so far

649
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 6: this season, so you know, if they can get to

650
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 6: the quarterback, then that zone is going to look a

651
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 6: lot better because you don't necessarily want to hang those

652
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 6: guys out there man the man. I don't necessarily know that.

653
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 6: You know, they feel comfortable with those guys being out

654
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 6: there man the man that way, So you got to

655
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 6: be able to create more of a pass rush and

656
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 6: hopefully that's something that's coming along again. We mentioned Carl Granderson,

657
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 6: we mentioned Cam Jordan, we mentioned Brian Beze. Those guys

658
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 6: got to be able to get on the horse and

659
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 6: get to the quarterback. That's going to help out their secondary.

660
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 6: Uh Sanker has He showed some range last week that

661
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 6: I just didn't know. He had the sideline, the sideline

662
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 6: before the interception in which he made you know, in

663
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 6: the and on left side of the secondary to play

664
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 6: before that on the right on the right sideline he

665
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 6: ranged over and had a PBu.

666
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 5: He's a guy who really had some great.

667
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 6: Range and he showed some pretty good hands on that interception,

668
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 6: which you know, which you know is one of those

669
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 6: things with defensive backs. You know, you always say, okay,

670
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 6: he's playing defensive back because.

671
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: He can't catch.

672
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 6: Well, he looks like he's got some hands, and he's

673
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 6: a guy who you I think you I think you

674
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 6: like out there in coverage because he's got that ranginess.

675
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 6: So now you can allow your cornerbacks to be a

676
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 6: little bit more aggressive, especially if he's the guy over

677
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 6: the top, because he can go get the ball, he

678
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 6: can cover. So he's going to be a guy who

679
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 6: you know, he's really been kind of a little bit

680
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 6: of a fine you know, third round pick, and I

681
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 6: don't know if necessarily you think those guys are going

682
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 6: to play early, because in fact, they had some guys

683
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 6: out there before him early. But you get an injury

684
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 6: in the secondary that prevent you know, that provides the

685
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 6: opportunity for him to get on the field, and he

686
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 6: looks like he was ready to take advantage of it

687
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 6: because he stepped in last week against Buffalo and he

688
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 6: had a really really good game. The interception, three pass breakups,

689
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 6: five tackles, a really good game from from the rookie.

690
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: All right, final question, I got to ask Hi about

691
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 4: the old head to Mario Davis. Has he given you

692
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: any like tips on like the found of youth stuff

693
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: that he's found? He is that dude gets old. He

694
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: just keeps playing good football man, especially against the run

695
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: around the line of scrimmage.

696
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 5: Dude, I call him the Wolverine.

697
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 6: He just he he won't get hurt, he won't miss games,

698
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 6: he won't slow down. It's it's been amazing to witness

699
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 6: and to see because you I mean, you know you

700
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 6: you watched a lot of football. You know how it

701
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 6: really can can take away from a guy and the

702
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 6: guy can basically just fall off the table at him. Yeah,

703
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 6: and the Mario Davis has not falled. I don't know

704
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 6: where his table is, but he hadn't fallen off of it.

705
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 6: He hadn't fallen off of it. I mean, he really

706
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 6: continues to produce. He's still got the energy. He does

707
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 6: things in the all season. He will never tell you

708
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 6: all of his secrets, but he does things in the

709
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 6: all season. He'll just say, you know, I added something

710
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 6: in the off season, and you know I started doing

711
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 6: some and so and but he won't specifically tell you

712
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 6: what it is, so I don't know where it's found.

713
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 6: The youth is he dips into it during the off

714
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 6: season at some point in time. But like I said,

715
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 6: I just call him the Wolverine because you know, he

716
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 6: plays the demanding position and the guy doesn't miss games.

717
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: Uh, he doesn't miss snaps.

718
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 6: You know, he's out there every game one hundred percent

719
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 6: of the snaps. And it's just been it's really been

720
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 6: remarkable to see.

721
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:18,320

Speaker 4: a bit earlier this week.

745
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Joined here by Waldell Robinson wondoll.

746
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 4: When you went back and you looked at kind of

747
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: what the passing off has looked like with Jackson last

748
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 4: week on tape, what you see I.

749
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 8: Say, I mean a lot of it was quick throws,

750
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 8: just trying to get the ball out of his hands.

751
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 8: I mean, we play they were a pretty big zone team,

752
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 8: and that was kind of the plan, get the ball

753
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 8: out of our hands quick, and really it was really

754
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 8: making himself the run first and so I felt like

755
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 8: we were able to do that and just get the

756
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 8: ball out quick and remember especially just making him comfortable

757
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 8: as first start. Didn't want him to have to try

758
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 8: and do too much.

759
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: So yes to the.

760
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 4: Plan and look at it the way the Saints play

761
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: this week and some of the analytics they're a pretty

762
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 4: heavy zoned team too, right.

763
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, they play some zone. They'll mix it up

764
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 8: a little bit too placing man, So we got to

765
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 8: be ready for both. Especially you know now that the

766
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 8: leagu's out, we never know what teams may be trying

767
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 8: to do.

768
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 4: Obviously, this is the first week you've had practice sinsible.

769
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: League neighbors said, the season end the injury, What do

770
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: you guys have to do as a group. No one

771
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: guy can replace what league neighbors can do, So what

772
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: can you guys do as a group to try to

773
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: alleviate his loss?

774
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 8: Again, we all got to work together, especially just working

775
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 8: with Jackson. Even the tight ends are kind of a

776
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 8: little bit of a helping hand now too, and a

777
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 8: lot of us especially mean, it's like kind of expanding

778
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 8: a little bit of the routetreet that we have. And

779
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 8: at the end of the day, we just got to

780
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 8: go out there and get up.

781
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: How much do you guys have to be more flexible

782
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 4: going into different spots now? Right you don't have the

783
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: league he can you can isolate them. How much do

784
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: you guys kind of moving around to the different spots

785
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 4: now with him not being the staple out there.

786
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're definitely moving around, I say, especially means they

787
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 8: probably playing a little bit more in different places that

788
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 8: we hadn't played. But at the end of the day,

789
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 8: I think it'll be good for us just moving us

790
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 8: around and defense is not knowing exactly what we can do.

791
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 4: In the offseason, you told about you were excited about

792
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 4: getting a chance to play outside a little bit more.

793
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: Now you're gonna have the chance to probably play outside

794
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: a little bit more. Are you excited to be able

795
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: to do that a little bit more now in regular

796
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: season action and kind of show every what you can.

797
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Do out there?

798
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 5: Oh?

799
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm saying, just just someone that I can do everything.

800
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 8: I can play inside, I can play outside, run the

801
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 8: intermediate stuff, run the deep stuff, run just the whole

802
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 8: routes tree even being a smaller guy, and just prove

803
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 8: everybody wrong in that aspect.

804
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 4: You know, having that one big wide receiver oute there,

805
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 4: you can create the big plays or he can attract

806
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: so must attention that creates big plays for someone else.

807
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: Right, What are some of the things that.

808
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: A team can do to try to manufacture some more

809
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 4: explosives even if you don't have that kind of one

810
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: guy that the other team is kind of locked in

811
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 4: and focused on.

812
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it goes back to game planning.

813
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 8: And that's why I think our coaches are doing a

814
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 8: really good job of is figuring out what matchups to

815
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 8: get us one on ones in favorable matchups that we

816
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 8: really really like and I feel like we can hit

817
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 8: explosives out of them.

818
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: How important is it to kind of keep the energy

819
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 4: up in the room too, because obviously you lose a

820
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 4: guy like that, can it can kind of depress the

821
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 4: room a little bit.

822
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: How how have you enslaved by being the veterans in there?

823
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: Try to kind of keep the energy up in your.

824
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 8: Room, you know, being just being the same people that

825
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 8: we have been every day, and you know, encouraging the

826
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 8: guys and letting them know that at the end of

827
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 8: the day, this is the next man up league, and

828
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 8: guy's got to be ready for the opportunity.

829
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: They should be excited.

830
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 8: Obviously being upset them the leak's not there, but some

831
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 8: of the guys that haven't gotten to play as much,

832
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 8: they're they're going to get out there.

833
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 4: And then finally I talk about the energy, how much

834
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 4: energy has is forty four? And then and then number

835
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 4: six kind of brought to the offense a little bit

836
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: just because of the way they play The game now a.

837
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 8: Tremendous amount, especially Scott. You know, you see him trying

838
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 8: to run through somebody, it makes you like, Okay, if

839
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 8: he's gonna do that, I gotta.

840
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: I definitely go.

841
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 8: I gotta go back my off or I gotta go

842
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 8: catch this ball. He's doing everything that he has to do.

843
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 8: And same thing with Jackson. Sometimes I'm like, you know,

844
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 8: you need to chill out trying to punch people.

845
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 5: With your hand.

846
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 8: But that energy right there is like, that's my quarterback

847
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 8: and I'll do anything out there for him. So it

848
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 8: makes everybody masch that energy and play up to their

849
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 8: standard too.

850
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: Thanks Adough, So thank you. That's one of the Robbins

851
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: and good stuff out of him.

852
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: Now let's turn our attention to the hey coach of

853
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 4: the New York Football Giants, coming off as first one

854
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 4: of the year with his starting quarterback Jackson Dart, but

855
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 4: now carrying on without my league neighbors. To talk about

856
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 4: that and a whole lot more, Bob pop up with

857
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: the head coach of the New York Football Giants, Brian Dable.

858
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 7: The Giants we're in New Orleans to take on the Saints.

859
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 7: As always, were joined by the head coach of the

860
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 7: New York Giants, Brian Dable and coach. Obviously, last week

861
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 7: turned out really well with the way things worked and

862
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 7: take down the undefeated Chargers. As you did the look

863
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 7: back on it and talk to the team about it,

864
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 7: what are some of the things that really you were

865
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 7: most proud of with the way the team competed last week.

866
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was a sixty minute game, and you know

867
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 9: each unit, you know, worked hard to do their jobs

868
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 9: to help us.

869
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: Win the game.

870
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 9: And you know it made some big plays there in

871
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 9: critical moments. Third down was improved, you know, red zone

872
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 9: a little bit better, still can improve in that area.

873
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 9: Took care of the ball, got the ball on defense.

874
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 9: Jamie had a great punt there backed up almost seventy

875
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 9: yards that really changed field position. Was a big play

876
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 9: for us. So all around team win.

877
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 5: All Right.

878
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 7: You take on the New Orleans Saints, who you played

879
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 7: last year at MetLife Stadium, but Carr was the quarterback.

880
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 7: He's not the quarterback now. As you study this team

881
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 7: and you get ready to play them, what are some

882
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 7: of the things, with Kellen Moore being the new head

883
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 7: coach that you've looked at and said, you know, hey,

884
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 7: these are things this week that if we do not

885
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 7: do defensively, we're going to get hurt.

886
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

887
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 9: Well again, three of the four four games they've played

888
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 9: have come right down to the fourth quarter, which is

889
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 9: what we expect. Tough competitive team starts with Kamara. He's

890
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 9: a dynamic running back. He can run every run, but

891
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 9: he makes a lot of his plays on the perimeter.

892
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 9: Cutback screen game is something that I think he's been

893
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 9: very good at. And you know, wheel routs out of

894
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 9: the backfield, options, wraps out of the backfield. I mean,

895
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 9: this guy's an exceptional running back and I think it

896
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 9: starts there. I think they did a good job last

897
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 9: week against Buffalo. I've really mix in the match in formations, motions,

898
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 9: using different guys in different spots. And then you know,

899
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 9: after the running game, they you know, between the Lave

900
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 9: and Shahed on the perimeter, both fast. Alve is an excellent,

901
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 9: exceptional route runner. Shaheed is is dynamic with the ball

902
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 9: in his hands as he is a punt return game,

903
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 9: but they'll give him jet sweeps and reverses that we're

904
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 9: gonna have to be dialed into on our on our

905
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 9: force outside. And then Spencer, I think is a you know,

906
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 9: a good rhythm quarterback. He gets the ball out and

907
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 9: goes to the right spot and you know, does a

908
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 9: good job with the action game. If it's not there,

909
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 9: can use his legs. You know, he's athletic player that

910
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 9: makes loose plays and keeps the chains moving. And you

911
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 9: know it'll be a loud environment and we're gonna have

912
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 9: to do a good job of communicating and tackling and

913
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 9: making sure that the ball doesn't go over ahead.

914
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 7: Coach, you mentioned loud environment, and I know you'll do things.

915
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 7: You did things during the course of the week to

916
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 7: try to recreate that. Can you ever get close to it?

917
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 7: As far as trying to recreate it, you know, you do.

918
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 9: The best you can. You know, we've played in a

919
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 9: lot of loud stadiums. This is certainly one of them.

920
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 9: Our quarterback is playing a lot of loud ones, you know,

921
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 9: being down there at Alabama, you know SEC is pretty

922
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 9: loud down there. But every every i'd say venue is

923
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 9: a little different. This one is very loud. Been there

924
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 9: a number of times, and all you can do is,

925
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 9: you know, jack up the music or the crowd noise

926
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 9: as loud as you can and try to make it

927
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 9: difficult down to players. During the week to force you know,

928
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 9: over communication, coach.

929
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 7: When you take a look at them defensively, and this

930
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 7: front seven especially, I mean you've got Jordan, who's an

931
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 7: eight time pro bowler, Grandison's second in the league in

932
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 7: sacks with four and a half, Brazi is a really

933
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 7: good player inside, and then you have to Mario Davis

934
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 7: and Pete Warner at the backers, all active players. When

935
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 7: you've looked at them and studied them, what are some

936
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 7: of the things that have impressed you with the way

937
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 7: they're playing this year.

938
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd say they're a physical unit that gives it

939
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 9: gives great for they get, like you said, a lot

940
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 9: of veterans on their team that know how to play

941
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 9: the game.

942
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

943
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 9: Just to have a such a tremendous amount of respect

944
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 9: for Davis the way he's played, the style that he

945
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 9: plays with. I mean, this guy, this guy will smack you, uh,

946
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 9: and he is. I think he's a load. We got

947
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 9: to do a great job of getting a hat on him.

948
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 9: And then you know when it comes down to like

949
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 9: Cam Jordan, like you said, and got Chow's in there

950
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 9: a veteran guy too that you know, they do a

951
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 9: great job playing stout up front, and I think they

952
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 9: got some good players in the back end. You know,

953
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 9: kool Aid was a very good player at Alabama. Sticky

954
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,280
Speaker 9: corner a very good technique. Alante that you know plays

955
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 9: inside in their subpackage, is extremely fast. And the two safeties,

956
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 9: you know, sank Or the rookie and Reed can can

957
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 9: really run.

958
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 7: Coach, obviously, last week was was awesome and you and

959
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,759

960
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 7: you or your players. Can you talk about that mentality

961
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 7: of sort of stacking performances like you talk about it

962
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 7: during training camp, like stack good practice is now trying

963
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 7: to stack wins and and and sort of how important

964
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 7: that is for the group.

965
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,000
