1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: We've been hearing from some of your defensive teammates about 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: these fast Friday periods that you're going out there and 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: kind of putting on a show. I was just curious 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: if you could tell us a little bit about that 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: and what's your you know, what's your mentality when you 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: go out there? And I don't know, Nola passes and 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: it sounds like they're describing a pretty crazy quarterback. No, 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what going against our defense week to week. Um, 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: you get to see a lot of different looks, a 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of different coverages, a lot of different pressures. Um, 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: and they do they do it your minute job. It's 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: it's actually been really good for me to uh to 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: see to see all those looks and um, you know, 14 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: I try to give them the best look I can 15 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: each week. And and uh, you know those guys are 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: those guys play at a high level. So anytime you, uh, 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: you go out there, you better be prepared. Um. And 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: and it's been great conversation talking to Logan, talking to James, Uh, 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, really linebackers, anybody who Hey, where was that 20 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: guy gonna be? You know, see rapping behind me? You 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: know what, what do you think the coverage was those 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: sort of things. So it's you know that that's that's 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: part of my job, right is to uh give those 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: guys good looks. They're exaggerating a little bit. I guess 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what all they told you. Uh, but 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: but at the same time, it's also about developing, you know, 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: our receivers, the guys that you know that our rookies, 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: the undrafted guys, like making sure that they know their 29 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: depths of their routes, whether where I think they're supposed 30 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: to be in zone versus man. And so we we 31 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: go out there and we work really hard and um, 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: you know again, our defense is playing at a high 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: level right now, which has been really nice. Kenneby it 34 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: called I would assume that your preparation for this week 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: has not changed at all, other than you might not 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: be running fast Fridays this week. Yeah, yeah, I mean 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Uh, not a whole lot has changed. 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I Mean the only question I have is it's been 39 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: I guess you've had one start in the last roughly, 40 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, since December of eighteen. Um, do you have 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: to get knocked some rust off? Yeah? I felt like 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: I was a little rusty last week. To be honest, Um, 43 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: a couple of plays I wish I could have back, 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, we'll see what happens this week. 45 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: I know DJ is extremely tough, and he's a leader 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: of this football team and he's got everything he can 47 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: to be out there. Um, But I mean, I'm sure 48 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I'll get some reps in practice this week, and you know, 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: I gotta take advantage of those that I do get. Works. 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Hey coult, Um, Um, what do you you know? You've 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: been around? You know, you're not some young guy who's 52 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: running in there, you know for the first time. What 53 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: do you know if you play on Sunday in Seattle? 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: What do you know that you'll be able to do 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: as far as you know, not throwing for four touchdowns 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: are running for a hundred yards? Well, what do you 57 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: know about this offense and what you can ring to 58 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: this Giants team that you know you will be able 59 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: to do one Sunday? Yeah? First of all, I just 60 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: I just have to go out there and and uh 61 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: do my best to execute the plays that are called. 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: You know, I think we definitely need to continue to 63 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: run the football. We've been doing that well over the 64 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: last four or five weeks. Uh. And ball security has 65 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: has been great for us. So, uh, just just those 66 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: two things right off the back come to mind, and 67 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: I do my best to you know, if I if 68 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: I happen to be out there to make that happen. 69 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: Is there any reason why? Um? Um. You know a 70 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: lot of people when they think of a backup quarterback, 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: they said, oh boy, you know this is gonna be 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: a problem. He's a liability. Do you look at yourself 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: in that in any way? You know? You can't never 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: look at yourself that way. UM. I think that's why 75 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: scott Scout team is valuable. You're not necessarily getting your 76 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: team's offensive reps, but you're getting reps and you're working 77 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: on footwork, you're working on I D s, you're working 78 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: on um seeing coverages, different different protection looks. Uh. But 79 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: you're right. I mean running our offense, executing our offense 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: and what we do is all mental for me, at 81 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: least up to this point. It has been because you you, 82 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you and a DJ and I spent a lot of 83 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: time together, you know, studying and and how are we 84 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: gonna play it if they do this? How are we 85 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: gonna see it if they do this? Um? So that 86 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: the communication has been great, but again, there's nothing like 87 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: live reps. You're right, thank you. I'll take two more. 88 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: Tom Rock and George tom Rock. Well, I think a 89 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: lot of people look at this game and say, you know, 90 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy might be starting for the Giants. He's a 91 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: guy who's been around a long time, but it doesn't 92 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: have a lot of wins that there's only a handful 93 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: of them. I think in your career as as a starter, 94 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: do you do you think you've been given a fair 95 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: shake in the NFL? I mean, you've you've been on 96 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: some some pretty bad teams. Uh, you know, I don't. 97 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't have to remind you that you 98 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: know there was there was some some good ones to you. 99 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: I think he went pretty deep with the forty niners 100 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: that one year. Um, but do you feel like, uh, 101 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: this is a chance to go out and play with 102 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: a with a first place team? You know, anytime that 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: you know, you're right, I've been around the league for 104 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: a long time. But anytime you get to to go 105 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: out as a starter, if that happens this week, you know, 106 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: I you're one of thirty two guys to get to 107 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: do that. In the whole world and and I certainly 108 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: don't take that for granted. And you know, I choose 109 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: to to look forward and not look backward. And you 110 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: know a lot of the a lot of things that 111 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: have happened to me in the past, There's been a 112 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: lot of good learning experiences. There's a lot of valuable 113 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: things I can I can take from my career so far. 114 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: But my focus right now is is really on you know, 115 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: on this team and you know what we've got going 116 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: and you know, if I'm called on, how how I 117 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: can be my best out there for for us. Last 118 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: want to hear Jordan's hey, cool if it does, If 119 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: you do get the opportunity, what do you need to 120 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: do to replace Daniel? I just need to go out 121 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: there and execute, just be myself. Uh. Daniels played at 122 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: a really high level of the last three weeks. I 123 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: think that's why it's just so fresh trading for him, 124 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: because you could see the growth that he's made. He's 125 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: he's he's playing at at a really high level. And 126 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think for me is communication, you know, 127 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: working with whiteouts, working with running backs. You know, we're 128 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: doing a lot of stuff on the line. Who knows 129 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: what we'll do this week. Uh, but you know what, 130 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: just just being prepared and you know that's the name 131 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: of the game. That's why the Giants brought me here. 132 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: And um, I think you know that that's the expectation 133 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: is if you're if your number is called, whether it's 134 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback, receiver, you know, on the other side of 135 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: the ball and defense, you know, when when you gotta 136 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: step up, you gotta step up. And um, you know, 137 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: I just just gotta be mentally prepared for whatever happens. 138 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: And you said if you haven't the opportunity hasn't you 139 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: haven't had that many, right, so I think it's three 140 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: starts since that's also your last win. Is the starter? 141 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Has it has it felt like a long time for 142 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: you in that regarding that, Okay, I really haven't started 143 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: much lately, or does it feel like, hey, I've been 144 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: I've been a starter before. Yeah, you know it. You 145 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: have to figure out ways to compete with yourself, you know, 146 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: whether that's at practice, whether that's in the meeting room. 147 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: Everything I do is is you know, or any backup 148 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: quarterback does is mostly mental Um, you know, And and 149 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't look at it as how long has been 150 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: since I started. I uh, you know, last year was hard, 151 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Like I was injured the first time I really dealt 152 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: with like something something like that, and so that that 153 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: made last year feel like many years. And so I'm 154 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, really accounting my blessings to be back out here. 155 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: And I had a good training camp and you know, 156 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: we have an awesome QB room and great coaches and 157 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: so I've I've been very very proud to be a 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: part of this football team. And you know, and and 159 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: and part of the expectation for me is to be 160 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: prepared to play. And so if that happens, that happens, 161 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: and I'll do my best.
