1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Did you guys feel like you had a really good 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: game last week because you got the run going, you 3 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: had the pass going, you scored touchdowns. 4 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 2: There are positive things, but still things that we can 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 2: clean up, especially in pass pro and then a run game, 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 2: especially when there's a movement. Just doing a better job 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 2: of getting to our our alignments and our aiming points 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: to get to the backers. 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: Yeah. Somebody said to a Giants fan, They're like, what 10 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: reason do you have to be optimistic about this team 11 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: going up? 12 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: Coming off out of bone too. 13 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: One of the things they would say, I think is 14 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the play of the offensive. 15 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,599 Speaker 2: Line, And that's been a long time since the offensive. 16 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Line has been something people are getting optimistic about. 17 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: Why do you. 18 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: Do you feel optimistic about the offensive line right now? 19 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: And can you relate to the idea that like, yeah, 20 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot on you guys now there, you guys 21 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: can finally be the ones to turn it around. 22 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel good about the progress that we've made 23 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: over the first two games. But to be named a 24 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: great offense, a line or a good offensive line, you 25 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: have to group consistently. So we're just approaching this week 26 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: as another opportunity to get better protect DJ and opening 27 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: up names I've taken. 28 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: It feels like a lot of ownership of like we 29 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: need to get better after last season. Do you feel 30 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: like that's paying off, Like the ownership orders are translating 31 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: to the field. 32 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: I think that's a little bit of that. And also 33 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: we brought in and see new guys. Guys I have 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: a lot of experience playing in this league, and I 35 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 2: think as office alignment experiences everything. It's a tough position 36 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 2: to play and the guys have founded for a long 37 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: time to mix it eason. 38 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Have you seen growth in John Nikeporter? 39 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have. 40 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: Definitely. 41 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: You could tell he's more confident this year started with 42 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: just the mic points and understand the cause. And then 43 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: I would say last year he was also dealing with 44 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: injuries too, So just seeing him you know, not gonna way, 45 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: just seeing him healthy this year, I think that's helping 46 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: him with this well. And I know those are out saying, 47 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: but I think, but when you when you talk about 48 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: your center, he's he's. 49 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Gotta be the guy kind of you know, putting it 50 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: all together. 51 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: So for him to take those leaps was very important. Correct, Yeah, definitely, 52 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: it was just regular last year obviously, so you know, 53 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: me being a veteran left tackle, just helping him out 54 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: sometimes with hite points and stuff like that. But like 55 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 2: I said, we have veteran guys and around him as well. 56 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: So he's done a great job taking ownership of that line. 57 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: And he's going over here. Another obvious question, but it's 58 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: only two games. You guys have the same same guys 59 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: lay snaps. 60 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: When I think about this line last year, I don't 61 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: think the same guy's played one game to the next. 62 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: And how big has that continuity been? Yeah, it's huge 63 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: as office alarm and you want to be a comfortable 64 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 2: playing with the guy next to and having those consistent snaps. 65 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 2: It's great from I feel like, you know, it's it's 66 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: kind of you know, earned a lot of crazy, whether 67 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: that's online or wherever else. What what what? How much 68 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: of the difference taker has he been kind of for 69 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: this unity kind of whole job for us, just get 70 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: us on the same page and made a few challenges 71 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 2: and our aiming points and white thoughts depending on the 72 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: protection or whatever they're won't call it is. And then 73 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: we also have James assistant on the coach. You know, 74 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: he played in the league from the meantime and they're 75 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: doing a great job for us, and like I said, 76 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: we have the Vettos that's played a long time, so 77 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: that that helps us go. 78 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: Into one of the things you guys did in training 79 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: camp a lot was go deep, and I mean that 80 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: seems to have been missing the first two weeks. Is 81 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: that something people are trying to take away or what? 82 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm not sure, but I think week the week, 83 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: the game playing change is just depending on what the 84 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: defense allows us to do. And as an officer, warn't 85 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: selfishly like if we can run the ball, we want 86 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: to run it. We control the clock, it wears down 87 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: the D line, so when it's time to pass rush, 88 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: you know they're tired and you can you know, throw 89 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: the ball down the field. So that's that's our mentality.
