1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: I just feel like the guys funding this week. Obviously,

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Joe challenged you on Sunday, but how did you feel

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: like the energy wasn't practice this week? I think it's

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: been really good. I think so far, so good. Um,

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: I think you know myself, personally, I think I've been

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: caught up a lot in trying to rally the team

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: and trying to, you know, give them great speeches and

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's wrong and try to pick

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: everyone up and try to make sure everyone does a

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: job and trying to get lined up faster and trying

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: to simplify and trying to do a lot of things.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: And I think for me, it's been about um this week,

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: about playing better personally, and the better I can be

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: for the team, the better the team could be if

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: we all focus on our own jobs and kind of

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a safety first. I'm gonna safety of

17
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: the defense first. And obviously they asked me to do

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: more than just play safety, asked me to do some

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: of my stuff leadership wise. But I think I gotta

20
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: be a great safety for the Giants first and foremost,

21
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: and the better I can play, the better James can play,

22
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: the better Xavier can play PEP can play that helps

23
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: our team collectively thin specifically, that's sort of picked you off.

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: It seems like, you know, you look at him, said,

25
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with the way I'm playing. Uh No,

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: just the results. Just the results aren't um aren't what

27
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: you aren't what you what I wanted or what we

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: wanted thus far. And I'm always willing to make changes

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: and adapt and trying to figure out what to what

30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: to do next. Maybe this came out play a little

31
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: deeper to prevent this. Maybe this game I'll play a

32
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: little more aggressive to help us in this. Maybe this

33
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: game out be in the run a little bit more

34
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: so I can help stop the run. But really, my

35
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: job is to play my instincts, communicate and a hand

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: on my hand on my position to play really well,

37
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: and that's why I get paid to do so. I

38
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: just felt like, you know, if I could focus on

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: that personally, and I think as a team, focus on

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: our jobs individually instead of all trying to collectively solve

41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: the problem, because they can get away to who you give,

42
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: get away from who you are and what you do best.

43
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Guys who played the game, not just us analysts, said

44
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: that I'm that Cooper Cup touchdown. Guys were jogging when

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: you saw it? Did you think guys were jogging? And

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: do you have a problem with that? Um, you know,

47
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't think guys were jogging. I think you know,

48
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: he caught the ball him and he scored the ball.

49
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: And if it's my effort or JB's effort, question there.

50
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: I think that I play hard every play, and that play,

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: I think I played as hard as I could to

52
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: the under the play. So, UM, I understand that's their

53
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: right to analyze and and a critique and I'll take it.

54
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm gonna go out there and play

55
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: as hard as I can every play. Like I may

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: think I made a living on that. I'll continue to

57
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: do that. Your position coach seems frustrated with that play

58
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: today when we asked him about it. What more do

59
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: you think you can do on a play like that?

60
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: What was his What was his response said? Uh, I

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: don't know if they could have gotten there, I don't know,

62
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: but we'll never know. That's the problem. We'll never know.

63
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 1: I'd like to know. Yeah, you know, I think he's

64
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: just saying it's in the past, and you know, we

65
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: don't know, and we can't harp on it now. I

66
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: think I think we gotta go out there and play

67
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: hard this week. And I think you'll just played us

68
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: playing hard. I think you'll just play Carolina playing hard.

69
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: I think their coach called their team out about getting

70
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: back to their identity. I think we gotta get back

71
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: to our identity. So I think it's gonn be an urgent,

72
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: urgent game on both sides. Um and I think we

73
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: gotta show urgency on defense and uh, and that's something

74
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: we can control, our urgency. So I think we're gonna

75
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: be urgent. Logan is playing at I mean, you've played

76
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: somewhere where you pretty much only had success at home.

77
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Is playing at home becoming psychological at all for this team,

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Like it almost seems like you played better on the road.

79
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: We know how the booze have started here. Is playing

80
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: at home almost becoming a disadvantage for the Giants? Never, No,

81
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I just think, Um, it's a

82
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: game by game, and you don't want those factors to

83
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: so to affect you. Playing at home will never be

84
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: a disadvantaged. It will never be a disadvantage. Just we

85
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: haven't had success and in the last game, wherever it

86
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: is home or the road. You execute like that, you're

87
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: not gonna win wherever you play them. So we gotta

88
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: play well. We got execute. You gotta play urgent and uh,

89
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: I definitely gotta do that at home. You can want

90
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: to Joe's biggest backers, hopefully especially. I know you're a

91
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: team leader. You're out here, he said today. You know

92
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: it starts with me. You know the things the head down. Uh,

93
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: what do you think when you hear that? And what

94
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: do you see from him that makes you confident that

95
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing is the right thing. I think you

96
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: gotta respect that. I think you gotta respect people who

97
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: take ownership. I think, um, finger pointing and and blaming

98
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: is the easy thing to do. And I think you

99
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: gotta respect the coach who said it starts with him

100
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: to get the team prepared, And I agree it does

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: start with him, but it starts with me individually to

102
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: lead myself, to lead my unit as well. So I

103
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: think all of us are up here, you know, taking

104
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: taking ownership. But I mean, you can only answer the

105
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: questions how we how we can when there's when there's

106
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: negative stuff going on, There's only so many answers there

107
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: are you know so? And of the day. We need

108
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: more positive results and I think that starts with people

109
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: taking ownership. So I think that's been a good sign.
