1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: Yea. Has everybody doing okay? So so far this week, 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: it's been a good productive week. We've been in offensively defensive. 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Arriving today, we're working football seven. When we're not installing 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: our schemes, we're with the players, evaluating workouts, doing the 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: formal and informal interviews. It's been a productive week. Uh. 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: You know. At this point, we're trying to get the 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: flow for the new combine schedule. It's been good so far, 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: and as it rolls, we'll let you know updates in 9 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: terms of what we think about it. But at this 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: point I'll ago and open up any questions you may have. 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Now, the only priority is to bring in 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: good football players who meet the values and principals Z organization. 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: We're not trying to recreate anywhere we've been before. We 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of coach with a lot of experience 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: from different programs, Wornston doing the two thousand twenty New 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: York Giants, not recreating any other programming. Part of Yeah, 17 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: I think big thing you look for on the field 18 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: as smart players who can execute the assignment, who can 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: play situationally, where tough guys physically mentally, tough you know, 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: can they do what's right for the team? ONSIWA, what's 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: right for them? And can they play through some discomfort? Uh? 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: And you want guys to play fundamentally sound. There are 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: aspects you're gonna evaluate. You know, you look at the 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: college game versus the program for the most parts of 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: different game. But athletes are athletes, and you have to 26 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: evaluate what each guy is individually. There are things you 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: can coach and teach, and there's things you can't coach 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: and teach. I'm not gonna coaching and be taller or 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: really faster. Now. I can coach and to play faster 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: by knowing their assignment better anticipating what may come their way. 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: But there's gonna be certain traits that are critical factors 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: that we have to identify in these players, whether it's 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: a free agent joining our program or a college player 34 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: that we may look to draft or signs a free 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: agent that, regardless of their past, we have to know 36 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: skill set wise what we're getting. All right, Yeah, definitely, 37 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, so I'll kind of be very upfront with 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: everyone right now in terms of how I'm gonna deal 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: with analyzing specific players. I want you to understand this. 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: It's important to me, every one of our players are 41 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna come here with a blank slate and be able 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: to compete from the ground up from day one. And 43 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm not going to establish any kind of status or 44 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: hierarchy within the individual players or position groups by spending 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: a month talking about individuals. That's important to me, and 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: I want you guys to understand my reason for that. 47 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: I can't tell everyone they've gotten equal slate and they 48 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: show up on April seven and I spent a month 49 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: talking about a specific player. Okay, everyone's gonna the same 50 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: opportunity on a daily basis to compete, So I respect 51 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the question about the individuals. Trust me. We've analyzed everyone, 52 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: top the bottom, inside out. We've talked about it, coaches, scouts, personnel, 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: player development, team security. We're going to know everything we 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: can possibly know about who we have on our roster, 55 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: as well as everyone looking to bring in and join 56 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: our roster as well. Uh. But my reason for not 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: going into individual players at this point is it's important 58 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: that our players understand the only thing it's gonna be 59 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: relevant is how they perform from day one moving forward, 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: that the past is irrelevant a little different. Have to 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: build your offense quarterback well, and we've got to build 62 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: around everyone's skill set. So yeah, you're right that you know, 63 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: every position has to add into what you do schematically, 64 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: but every position is going to be competition every day, 65 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: every position, well, Daniel, beginning after first quarter back. Our 66 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: depth charts on that board right there, right now. No 67 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: one's got a spot. I'm not trying to compare myself 68 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: to anybody else in terms of what they're looking for. 69 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I can't tell you this. In terms of dealing with 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: the college players, We've done as much research to this 71 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: point as possible, and when we're here it's very valuable 72 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: to get the individual time with the players. However, it's 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: a very limited window. You know, eighteen minutes for a 74 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: formal interview isn't very long. So we've got to find 75 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: the right questions on each player individually going into it. 76 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: Some guys maybe more football scheme. Some guys it's teach 77 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: them something so they learned havening regurgitated back to us. 78 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: Other guys maybe personality and character traits that we've got 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: to investigate. So we've got to do our homework on 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: the front of which the scouts has done tremendous job 81 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: for as coaches, we've gotten you know, brought up, you know, 82 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: brought currently on what we have to look into, and 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: with the guys that we have selected for these interview times, 84 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: we've got to find out, you know, the necessary information. 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: So I don't know, if I've got a magical question, 86 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna tell me something more about anybody else. I 87 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: don't know what anyone else is asking us, know what's 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: important to us? M m m hm. Right. You know, 89 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: it's a unique situation when you have a new staff 90 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: really kind of coming together at the same time, and 91 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: you're not adding a single guy, you're adding an entire staff. Uh. 92 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: The unique thing is all of our families are somewhere else. 93 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: So we're at an apartment complex down the street from 94 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, the stadium, and it's basically a college dorm. 95 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Not that we're having toga parties, but just in terms 96 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: of where together. All the time, we're commuting back and forth, 97 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: we're constantly talking ball, we're in early, we're working late, 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, so this is a great time for us 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: to build that camaraderie, excuse me, that camaraderie and relationships 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: that will carry us forward throughout the season. You know, 101 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: one thing I remember is the football season is a 102 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: long season, okay, and once you come together, it's like 103 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: a submarine and when those doors closed, you go into water. 104 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: It's just you and the team looking at each other 105 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: on a daily basis. You have to establish, you know, 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: throughout the spring and training camp, who you are and 107 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: the relationships you have that will carry you through the 108 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: tough times, because there's gonna be a point where the 109 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: outside is not so rosy and right now it's all 110 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: big expectations and a lot of positive Like, there's gonna 111 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: be a point where on the outside it's very dark 112 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: and gloomy, and you've got to make sure you have 113 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: the trust in each other in side that you can 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: get through those times. On more time, well, a couple 115 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: of things. So we're spending this week not only with 116 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: the combine duties, but we're meeting football wise and our 117 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: offense and defensive stats are installing the systems and the 118 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: schemes together as we speak right now. Um, when they're 119 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: not in interviews or watching workouts, we're doing ball all 120 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: the time. It's very important we don't lose this time 121 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: as a staff to get on the same page that 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: when the players show up on April six, that we 123 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: have answers and we can start moving in the direction. 124 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: It's also important with the draft process that we come 125 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: out of here with a better understanding of the players 126 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: who are looking to add to our roster. And you 127 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: know there's gonna be other opportunities after this, through pro 128 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: Day's private workouts thirty visits that we can dive deeper 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: into certain players. But this may be the most exposure 130 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: we get with certain players going into the process. So 131 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: it's important that whatever questions we need answered, we clear 132 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: them up as best as Postle Well. I've known Freddie 133 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: for some time. Freddy's a tremendous coach. Freddy has a 134 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: very good personality that touches a lot of guys in 135 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: different ways. Freddy's a very tough minded man and he's 136 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: a tough coach. And you watch the teams have been 137 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: part of all right. They play with a toughness, they 138 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: run the ball, they get after you, all right. So 139 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: what I'm look for Freddie to bring is work within 140 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: our systems, our schemes, within our offense, to contribute in 141 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: the kicking game and bring an element of toughness as 142 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: well as some schematic expertise that he's experienced other places 143 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: that may fit what we're doing as a system or 144 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: a game plan. Specifically, we don't have cheerleaders at the 145 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: Giants either, from what I understand, so we weren't looking 146 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: at him in the coach's offices. The teaching part, to 147 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: me is critical. That's all you're doing. You're teaching. You know, 148 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: you're teaching them what the opponent does. You're teaching what 149 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: our scheme is. You're teaching the technique they have to use. 150 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: You know, we we've got to look at ourselves as 151 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: a stay off, as profession is. We're teaching. That's what 152 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: we're doing on a daily basis. You know, you put 153 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: a hat and a whistle on your classroom starts inside 154 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: and continues outside onto the grass on a daily basis. 155 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: You know, the test is taken every Sunday. We have 156 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that, you know, we don't mistake what 157 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: we're doing. You know, we want to motivate along the way, 158 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: but it's teaching and instruction that's the most important thing. 159 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: What positions are we evaluating. It's not gonna be fair 160 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: for me to go ahead and set expectations for any 161 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: plane in our roster at this point. Okay, I'm looking 162 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: forward to getting a man and working with the spring 163 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: and training camp and letting them establish their own identity 164 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: and building around the players that show through competition that 165 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: we can go ahead and improve smart, tough, fundamentally sound 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: and un elfish cames. I don't want to spend much 167 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: time talking to other people's staffs. I just know he 168 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: was a tremendous help to me. Um, I think they've 169 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: got a great guy they're gonna go forward with. Jason's 170 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: a tremendous person with a wealth of experience as a 171 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: player and as a coach. He's had success with multiple 172 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: players and multiple systems, you know, over the course of time. Um. 173 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: He understands the big picture of the game. He understands 174 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: how to use the roster as a whole. Uh. He's 175 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: a tremendous teacher, a great communicator, and he's been great 176 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: with our staff. So I'm very excited having Jason in 177 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: the building. I'm very pleased were able to add him 178 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: to the staff. He's he's a great resource for us 179 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: and once I I'll come right back there. I can 180 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: only speak on since he's been the New York Giants 181 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: going forward, but he comes to work every day with 182 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: full of energy. Yeah. I've worked multiple places. You know. 183 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: It's important to me that wherever you work, that you 184 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,479 Speaker 1: take from that place, which you can use philosophically, schematically 185 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: and working with the personnel. But you have to do 186 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: in your own personality. I'm not trying to be anybody else, 187 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: and that's just you know, whatever I do, I'm gonna 188 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: be very direct, very honest with it with the players, 189 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: dealing with y'all. But at this point it's I'm not 190 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: trying to recreate anywhere else. I'm trying to be the 191 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: New York Giants. That's the best we can be. Say 192 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: one time, I want to add great teachers. I want 193 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: to add great coaches. I don't want to teach people 194 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: that had great relationships with players, and he does all 195 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: three of those. Ye can be more specific. Everything is important. 196 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: Nothing really overrides the other. I'd say right now this 197 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: time of year, you know, it's got to be paramount. 198 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: Get the players in and that's doing our evaluations on 199 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: our current roster, the free agents, the draft players. That's 200 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that it's it's about the players. So 201 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: you can draw up some magical scheme if you want to, 202 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: but if you don't have the guys to run, it's 203 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: not gonna matter. So really the most important thing at 204 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: this point is identifying and you know, to add the 205 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: right players to your team and developing the ones already half. Yeah, well, 206 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: I'd say in terms of the team and the organization, 207 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: it's really reaffirmed everything I believed I knew on the outside. 208 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: The family structure, the loyalty, the dedication, the commitment to 209 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: the city in the area, uh, the history and tradition 210 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: that comes with being a New York Giant. That's all 211 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: been reaffirmed, and that's that's a huge positive. In terms 212 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: of the players, we have found an insider's view, Um, 213 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: we have dealt with the players, We've we've done all 214 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: of our search on the players. I don't want to 215 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: go into too many public analysis of that right now 216 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: and create expectations on these guys publicly at this time. UM, 217 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: but we do have an insiders you at this point now. 218 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: That will become further clear as we go through spring 219 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: and training camp and a season develops as well. So 220 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and be very clear with this as 221 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: well in terms of how I'll answer questions relative to 222 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: other jobs. I'm not gonna speak on hypotheticals on any job. 223 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: Just understand that when you hire good people, there's gonna 224 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: be interest. That's a positive. When people are desired on 225 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: your staff of these business is good. But if I 226 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: comment on one person's hypothetical, that opens the door to 227 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: every hypothetical ever, no matter what level of truth may 228 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: or not carry with it. So I understand the interest, 229 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: I fully respect the questions. Please understand going forward, I'm 230 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: not being you know, close minded about it, but just 231 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: I can't entertain every hype pathetical, right I'd say, really, 232 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: after we start working with them on the field, before 233 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: I start making, you know, any kind of public statement 234 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: amount a player. I think it's the thing we do 235 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: to be fair to the players is get to work 236 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: with them ourselves and develop our experiences with them, not 237 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: just watch on tape their experiences with somebody else. M 238 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: m m hmm. I didn't try to hire anybody simply 239 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: as being a former head coach. Um. The experience they 240 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: gained within those roles has been beneficial. I'm sure it'll 241 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: be more beneficial at different times throughout the season. But 242 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: I think we all bring our own experience and expertise 243 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: in our different areas. The biggest thing is that we 244 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: could all boil it down and blend it and create 245 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: an identity for the New York Giants that it's not 246 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: about what we did somewhere else or how well it 247 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: may have been successful. It's what's best for this team 248 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: going forward. Um. I've been very fortunate to hire the 249 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: guys on my staff. Trust me, hiring a staff is 250 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: not an easy thing to do. That the most different 251 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: little thing to do is to be patient with it 252 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: makes you hire the right guys. We took our time. 253 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I believe we have the right guys in place. What 254 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: you say one more time, sorry, I think there's just 255 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: a certain mindset um from guys that work. They're different. 256 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: If if you really kind of do the map of 257 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: our entire staff. I had some kind of a personal 258 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: relationship or professional relationship with everybody that we have on 259 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: our staff. That was important me because it's gonna be 260 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: enough to get our players on the same page. I 261 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to waste time this season, you know, learning 262 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: each other as coaches. That's gonna be a challenge enough 263 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: as it is. If I didn't work with you directly, 264 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: but you work within a similar scheme or system, you 265 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: have a better understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish, 266 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: and that there's a rhyme and reason behind certain things 267 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna do, which on the outside looking in or 268 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: joining the staff for the first time may not always 269 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: be very clear. But and you've gone through and experienced 270 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: success within that system, it's easier to embrace. I can 271 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: only do what what will be successful for the New 272 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: York Giants. He's done a lot of things, been successful 273 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: other places. I've gained a wealth of knowledge from him, 274 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: but I've got to filter through that in the terms 275 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: what's relevant now going forward. Yeah, solid intelligence point. Look, 276 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna let our players compete, and whoever the best 277 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: player is going to be is going to be on 278 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: the field. So I don't have any scenario on letting 279 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: anybody sit down if they're the best player for the 280 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: job at the time. I'm not trying to create some 281 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: hypothetical scenario where I think there's a timetable for any 282 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: of our guys to contribute. I don't care how old 283 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: or young you are, I really don't. I don't care 284 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: what your experiences before you got in our building. All 285 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: that's relevant is can you help our team improve? And 286 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: that's it. I think the opportunity to coach any position 287 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: in football is beneficial in terms of you're getting a 288 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: different perspective on how it's looked at UM last year. 289 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: In terms of the time management, that's always been something 290 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: I've balanced, you know, working special teams. You always mentioned 291 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: time and people. Uh, you know, delegating a lot of 292 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: responsibility last year with cam Acord who worked with us 293 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: on special teams, Troy Brown worked with us on offense. 294 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: That was that was a valuable experience to be able 295 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: to give someone assignment, make sure you communicate on the 296 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: front and how it's supposed to look, why it's important, 297 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: and then when you walk away and come back, you 298 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: know it's executed correctly if the team can make progress. Uh, 299 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: every experience I've had coaching any aspect of football, working 300 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: with any aspect of the organization has been beneficial. You know, 301 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: we're looking for the best move from the New York 302 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Johnson's point that the fourth pick is a great pick. 303 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of beach front property right there. But 304 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: whatever the scenario that comes to be, that is best 305 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: for the Giants with us trading back, moving back. You know, look, 306 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: we're open to listen to anything. We don't have to 307 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: do anything, but we'll listen to anything. Obviously that you 308 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: do what's best for your team at that moment here. No, 309 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: I actually began learning that when I first got into 310 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: coaching under Sylvester krim Mispy State. That was reaffirmed through 311 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: working my time in Alabama, New England. Other times it's 312 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to create expectations for players that they 313 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: have to go ahead and live up to. We're gonna 314 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: let them do that themselves with how they play and perform. 315 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: You know. It's it's kind of like talking about injuries, 316 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: you know, and you have to understand there's a reason 317 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: why not to address injuries. And there's kind of two 318 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: folds on this. You know, if I say Billy's got 319 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: a hamstring, and every some expert at there says that's 320 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: a four to six week injury, all right, when he 321 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: doesn't come back till week seven or eight, Billy must 322 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: not be tough. And then when Davey has a hamstring 323 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: a few weeks later, and they're completely separate injuries on 324 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: different people in different medical grade.
