Jamis, how's it going, man? 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: Man blessed bro. 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: So you're always one of the first guys here and 12 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: you're always one of the last guys out. What has 13 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: it been like trying to really sink your teeth into 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: this offense and learn it in such a short period 15 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: of time. 16 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: Brother, It's one of the most challenging offenses that I've 17 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: been in in my career. 18 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 3: So really just being immersed in it and being grateful, 19 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 3: like just to have that that youthful learning back, like 20 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 3: being challenged by offense that I don't know, and especially 21 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: doing into OTAs with limited reps is amazing. 22 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: What makes it more difficult. 23 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: The concepts are very similar. You see that all over 24 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: the League. 25 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: But I feel like that the freedom and the access 26 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,839 Speaker 3: that the quarterback has to really run run the show. 27 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: There's so much on us, whether it be man beaters, 28 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: whether it be one word calls that have the protection, 29 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: the formation and alerts intertwined in the whole call, that 30 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 3: that's very a lot. That's a lot, and sometimes like 31 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: you have things that correlate together, like if like R 32 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 3: and L words or certain concepts that mean a certain thing. 33 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 3: But this is is a lot of memorization, Like you 34 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: have a lot of different words and verbets that doesn't 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 3: really correlate to a lot of different things. 36 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: So this is complicated in a good way, in a 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: complicated in a way that empowers you as a quarterback 38 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: to get the most out of the offense. 39 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think that's one of one of the 40 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: biggest parts of being a quarterback in general, is mastering 41 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: your offense. And I think it requires everyone to study, 42 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: not just a quarterback to know their stuff, but it 43 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: requires office alignment to be on top of the stuff. 44 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 3: It requires your receivers and running backs to be on 45 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: top of this stuff. And I think that that just 46 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 3: pulls out a certain level of accountability from us all. 47 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Now you mentioned limited reps in in the spring, right, 48 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: you guys have four quarterbacks you're trying to get reps 49 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: for and they've been kind of moving Jackson around, and 50 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: you know, normal training camp it's you know, four plays, 51 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: four plays, four plays. That hasn't really been the case 52 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: in the spring. It's limited reps. So how has it 53 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: been like kind of being with different guys depending on 54 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: the day, working with different receivers, and kind of trying 55 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: to bring everything together despite the fact maybe it's not 56 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: as consistent as it has been in the past. 57 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 58 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: You know, one thing that I've experienced over the past 59 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: few years is like being grateful for every rep you know, 60 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: and man just being at me or they being able 61 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: to put on this blue uniform. Man, I'm grateful for 62 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 3: even more because my uniform is red. You know what 63 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 3: I'm saying. How often do we play in a red 64 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: jersey over there in met life? So I'm just grateful 65 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: for every moment that I get to step by Dan 66 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: and compete. 67 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: Man. So that's been the most inciting part. 68 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: You have a rookie and Jackson dor in the room, 69 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: his first round pick, your first round pick. You know, 70 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: the pressure you to go in to play right away. 71 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 1: It doesn't like he's gonna have to do that, which 72 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: is fortunate for him. What kind of advice had you've 73 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: given him and have you tried to help him along 74 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: in his first year in the NFL. 75 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just talked to him about man using his resources, 76 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: whether that be resources outside of this facility, and definitely 77 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 3: making the most of the resources inside this facility, because 78 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 3: sometimes when you're a young guy, you feel like, oh 79 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: my god, okay, like all this is on me. But 80 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: I think the Giants do a great job of letting 81 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: him know and away and letting him know and having 82 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: him aware of the resources that they have, whether it 83 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 3: be him finding him a main guy in the training room, 84 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 3: whether him be meeting with Iehead, a streets of conditioner 85 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 3: and Aaron Wellerman, whether him having one on one means 86 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: with coach, pattern with coache, you know it just really 87 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: having his own unique team within his own team with 88 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: the organization of Giants. 89 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: You have a pretty unique leadership style.

Man, I remember one one instance, especially in the NFL, 96 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: because through my NFL process when I first came to 97 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: the league, I was in a situation when I was like, man, 98 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: I was trying to please others. 99 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: You know, I was just trying to, you know. 100 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: Show everyone that I was just a good guy and 101 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: show everyone that that uh, that that I am who 102 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: I say am.

But when it comes to 176 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 3: on the football field, it's all about timing and accuracy. 177 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 3: So we're going to make sure that they're the right depth. 178 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: We want to make sure they're seeing the things, seeing 179 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: the coverage the same way that we see. And I 180 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: think like the New York Giants has been one of 181 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: the best places and making it available for these guys 182 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: to understand coverages, understand the whys of a particular concept, 183 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: and I think that goes a long way. And we 184 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: have guys like like one day, who oh are acxing? 185 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 3: Like intentional questions, but like hey, like what do you 186 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 3: see me here? Like versus discoverage, like how do you 187 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: want this ram? And when you have receivers that are 188 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: that intentional in pursonal what they do, then you're able 189 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: to throw the ball on time, You're able to anticipate 190 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: what they're going to do. You're able to actually have 191 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: a good feel no matter who's in and playing quarterback. 192 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: All right, final question. You've been in a bunch of 193 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: different offenses and really good ones, Tampaa. You guys are 194 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: super explosive. Obviously, Sean Paying, he's one of the best 195 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: offensive coaches in the league. Without giving away stations secrets, 196 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: just give me like a twenty thousand foot view of 197 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: when this offense starts getting cooking and we get to 198 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: the regular season, what are fans going to see on Sunday? 199 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: What is this thing going to look like? 200 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 201 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: Well, one thing I don't think we get enough credit 202 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: for here is how good our office line is like 203 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: and the stars up front. It's about dominating a line 204 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: of scrimmageh And it's not a lot of glitz and 205 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: glamours of fancy runs and this, and it's hey, you know, 206 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: we're about to run this run and we're averaging four 207 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: five and then in the fourth quarter it's eight, you know. 208 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: And we have running backs that know how to get 209 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: north and south. People look at Tracy is just like, 210 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: oh man, you know he was a receiver in college 211 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 3: that you've got some shin He is able to get 212 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: north and south. And we have a great veteran quarterback 213 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: in Devin and Motor. So I think it starts with 214 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: the trenches. And that's everywhere I been is always has 215 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: started with the trenches. We just have we just have 216 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: elite neighbors. Like when you got elite neighbors, like that's 217 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 3: just that's an anomaly. Like I've had Mike Evans, you know, 218 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: when I play with Mike Thomas and last year I 219 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 3: did some amazing We did some amazing things with Jay Judy. 220 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: Yep. 221 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: When you have a superstar that is just a superstar 222 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: everything every time you touched the ball, he's electric. Anything 223 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: can happen. But when you have an office line that 224 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: is dominating a line of scrimmage in the running game, 225 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: you're gonna be able to see that This New York 226 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: Giants New York Football Giants football team is explosive and 227 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: about about it. 228 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: So i'll summarize you. Just give me a yes or 229 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: no answer if you want.

Some 257 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: of the concepts that are similar and things like that. 258 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 4: I think conceptionally I've pretty much ran, you know, all 259 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: the same concepts, and I think that's kind of universal 260 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 4: throughout football. Obviously, the lingo and how you know, maybe 261 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 4: some reads will change up here to there are a 262 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 4: little bit different. What makes it much more complicated is 263 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 4: obviously the players that you're playing against and the scheme 264 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 4: that you're playing against. So having to go against these 265 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 4: our guys day in and day out has been has 266 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: been some really good work.

It's just 268 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: my aggressiveness ability to push the ball down the field 269 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: at the same time I take care of the ball. 270 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 4: I mean, you can look at my numbers year after year, 271 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 4: you know, I don't turn them over the ball a lot, 272 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 4: and you know, I keep it on our on our side. 273 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 4: So I'm really excited to to implement, you know, this 274 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 4: offense more and more into you know, some of my 275 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 4: play style and whatnot. 276 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm really excited for the season. 277 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: Now it makes it more complicated for you. But are 278 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: you excited about the optionality? This offense gives a quarterback 279 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: where you're able to, based on what the defense shows, 280 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: you make adjustments, do different things. You and wide receivers 281 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: can have excite adjustments things like that, where you can 282 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: take advantage of what's available to you. 283 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. 284 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, this is what separates this 285 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 4: scheme is you can go out there against any defense 286 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 4: and you're gonna have answers. 287 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: And I love that part of it because it lets 288 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: the quarterback play fast and play free. 289 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 4: And you know, you've seen the success level on such 290 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: a high level from coach Stable and all of his 291 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 4: success and then at the same time from coach Kafka 292 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 4: winning a super Bowl, you know in Kansas City.

When you first get in and 298 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: you started doing, you said, you're starting to get a 299 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: better feel for it. Is it hard to kind of 300 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: put yourself in a figure out what stage you are at, 301 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: how much more work there is to do? What are 302 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: some of the goals that you have set for yourself. 303 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: When you hit training camp, the pads come on, you 304 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: start doing more of the next step you want to 305 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: take in your development in terms of becoming an NFL quarterback. 306 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that during this time that I've been 307 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 4: here so far, you know, obviously you have a new 308 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 4: install pretty much every day, so you're constantly learning, You're 309 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: constantly getting new reps at new reps at different things. 310 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: So I'm really excited for when camp starts just to 311 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 4: have the chance to know that I've already ran a 312 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: lot of these plays right, and I can go out there. 313 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: I can play faster, i can think more freely, and 314 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 4: I can just go out there and play, you know, 315 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 4: just ball. I can just play the way that I 316 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: play instead of at times maybe overthinking the things, but 317 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 4: not just because of the complexity. But I can't wait 318 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: and I'm excited for this, you know, this period that 319 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: we're in right now, and then even this break to 320 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: continue to develop. 321 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Awesome. Final question, Russell Wilson came in year one, he 322 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: took a guy's starting job.

What has he told you and give an 324 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: advice he is giving you about quickly adjusting to the 325 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: NFL and you know, who knows when you're gonna get 326 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: your opportunity. That's not important, but just device of figuring 327 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: things out quickly and learning the NFL offense and how 328 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: to be effective quickly in the National Football League. 329 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously have to be very talented, you have to 330 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: have the intangibles to do it. But at the same time, 331 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 4: I think that you got to have the work ethic. 332 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 4: You got to have the ability to lead others, and 333 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: I think that that's something that Russ does so well. 334 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 4: Answer and him being able to rally the guys around him, 335 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 4: and this is leadership presence. You know, that's been huge 336 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 4: for me to see and you know, I feel like 337 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 4: I can just take something away from him every single day, 338 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 4: which has been such a blessing. But at the same time, 339 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 4: You're right, you got to develop fast, and you gotta 340 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 4: be ready to play because you never know when your chance. 341 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: Is gonna come.
