1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: How did you get away for the bye week? It 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: was awesome. Me, Dex and A J. Went to Turk 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: for a little bit just for last got massages and uh, 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, I should never do anything during the bye week. 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: I try not to like get out of football mode. 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. But having that time off actually 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: really was really helpful. When I got back at that 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, I was really excited to be back, and 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: you know, I felt refreshed and ready to finish the 10 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: season strong hands or anything. No, we did go snorkeling 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I wasn't trying to go spreak 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: fishing class, trying to you know, take it easy on 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: the body. You probably more than anybody on this team, 14 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: has experienced with the Tom Brady challenge. What's that like 15 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: trying to get to him as a defensive line because 16 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: I imagine he can get the ball out pretty quickly. Yeah, 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: exactly like he said, he gets the ball out really fast. 18 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of frustration going against him most 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: of my career. Um, even since I've been here, I've 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: been playing him, you know. Uh, and obviously he's a 21 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: great quarterback, Hall of Famer guy, and uh, you know 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: he gets the ball out so fast as a d 23 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: line and you get frust at it. But um, you 24 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: guys to just stay mentally locked in it. Just keep rushing. Uh, 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: don't let it frustrate you. And then when you're not 26 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: getting home, just get your hands up. And uh, also 27 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: if you're not getting sacks and stuff like that, he's 28 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: also you know, getting pressure on him in the middle 29 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: affects him as well. So even if he feels bodies 30 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: in front of him and uh, you know, if he 31 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: has to move his feet at all, that kind of 32 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: affects him at time. So that's what we're working on. Though. 33 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: You're getting away from him now. You know you come 34 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: here like getting away from Tom Brady three two years 35 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: in a row, and were you even here that that 36 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: other one? I mean, I kind of like playing against him. 37 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: I like playing against him. He's a great quarterback. I 38 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: don't shoy away from competition. You know, I love playing 39 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: against great teams. We played against great offensive so far 40 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: this year, and uh, you know it's another big offensive challenge. Um, 41 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: you know for our defense this this weekend. Uh, you 42 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: know we're ready to step up to it. You mentioned 43 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: getting pressure in his face up the middle. I know 44 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: you weren't a huge football fan younger, but you know 45 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: that's the Giants blueprint, right, you know that that originates 46 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: with like justin talk that this guy, right, yeah, I 47 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: mean that was a big reason why I was so 48 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: excited to come here and uh, you know, continue to 49 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: stay here. Is the legacy of the d lineman here. Um. 50 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm proud to be a part of it. 51 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm proud to you know, keep showing those guys. Um, 52 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: you know, hoping, hoping those guys are proud of us. 53 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, like I said, getting pressure on 54 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: the middle of this guy. You know, even though he 55 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: gets the ball off ass, he's one of those type 56 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that wants to stand in the pocket. Um, 57 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, make sure he has his feet correct. He's 58 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks that you know, he really wants 59 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: to be set on his feet when he's throwing the ball, 60 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: and if he feels bodies around his feet or any 61 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: type depression in front of him, it affects him. Being 62 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: the legendary guys for a second. Next week they're gonna 63 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: retire Michael straighthand number.

What do you remember if anything? 67 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I know he had a twenty two sac year, um, 68 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: which is a record. I know he had number ninety 69 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: two because when I first got here, I wanted to 70 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: get ninety two and I couldn't. But I'm proud of 71 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: not uh but I mean he's obviously a legend, uh, 72 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, on and off the field, and I think 73 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: that will make them such a guy as what he's 74 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: done off the field as well. Um. You know, this 75 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: past offseason, I was in Denver actually for some like 76 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: financial seminar thing where I'm trying to like figure out, 77 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, what to do outside of football, what's to 78 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: do with your money?

You know? And uh, I think that's you 84 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: know what people love about Michael's training is such a 85 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: good people person and one of his biggest messages to 86 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: us will just be yourself. You know, like, don't don't 87 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: fake it. People are gonna you know, know if you're faking, 88 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: and just be yourself. What's he? What's he? Why you 89 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: wore ninety two? Worh No? I got ninety two when 90 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I got to the Jets because Snacks Big Snacks had 91 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: ninety four and he wanted me to pay a crazy 92 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: math for it, and I was like, and I didn't 93 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: want to do that, so I take ninety two. What 94 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: would making the Pro Bowl mean to you that? I 95 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: know winning is the primary team objective, but personally, what 96 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: would it mean to you? Because it seems like you 97 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: kind of got jopped out of it last year. Yeah. 98 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean obviously winning, like you said, as our priority, 99 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: but as a person, people still care about personal stats, 100 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, personal achievements and stuff like that. And I 101 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: was obviously upset that I didn't go last year. You know, 102 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: I hope it happens this year, but it's not gonna 103 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: hold me back from you know, studying this week or 104 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: anything I have to do to prepare to win. Do 105 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: you sense teams playing you're different to share me.

I mean definitely at times. Uh. But I 112 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: think you know, we do a good job of moving 113 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: us around, changing up the rush. Um.
