1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: What's up with your heart? What was that? What's up

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: in your heart? I got a little tweak during camp.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: That's the reason why I missed a few of those

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: preseason games. And uh, you know, I'm gonna be fine

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: one week one. You know, I'm practicing now. I've been

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: getting in and out a few practices here and there,

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: feeling it out, and it feels ready to go. Oh no, no, no,

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: not at all. No, it's a different Yeah, yo, think

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm gonna just play it day by day.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, seventeen weeks is a long time to look ahead. Um,

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's been progressively getting better each day each week,

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, right now, this is where I'm

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: at and it feels strong. I'm able to go and

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: do everything that we uh you know, required to do

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: as a D lineman and full paths and all that stuff.

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: So you know, I think I'm not gonna miss any

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: game or anything like that. Is uptain responsibilities, captain responsibility.

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't think so. I think it improves

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: that actually, because I'm showing that I'm out here doing

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: it with it. You know, what did you think of that? That?

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: I think it's an honor, you know. I mean I've

22
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: had the privilege to be a captain on every team

23
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: I've been on, high school, college, when I was with

24
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: the Jets, and now this is my first time becoming

25
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: captain with the Giants, and uh, you know what it

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: means a lot being you know, not a drafted guy

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: here and I have been able to like work myself

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: up um as like you know, a team player and

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: a guy that people respect wearing blue. You know, I

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: can't imagine you a lot of captain. Oh yeah, I

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: didn't even think about that. Yeah, I mean it's definitely

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: an honor, you know. I mean it's it's even more

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: of an honor that it's not chosen by the coaches

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and it's uh, you know, voted on by the players.

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: So I think it means more when it comes from

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: your your peers than you know, your superiors or whatever.

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: But what like, he was a super loud guy from

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: day one, so like maybe sometimes that can be like this,

39
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: like where does he like, how does he walk out?

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: I mean I think the best part about it is is

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: he's true to himself. You know, he's always going to

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: be like that. You know what you're gonna get with him. Uh.

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do laugh because he is a little obnoxious

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: and a lot but in the end of the day,

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, we all appreciate it. On defense, you know,

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: you know he's going to have that energy. You know,

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: like if I'm having like a slow morning or something

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: like that, I know, and we stretch right next to

49
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: each other, like I know he's gonna be just like

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: talking to my heir and and get me going. So

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's definitely a guy that you know,

52
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: at this point, people know him and he brings a

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: lot of like fire and just to the team that

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: he's obvious that we don't know but they might miss

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: the first game or her person by the season. Um,

56
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: what gives you comments that the past restaurants still perform

57
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: at high level without that ends up in the case.

58
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: What gives me confidence is just seeing everybody throughout CAM

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: throughout O T s Um. You know X Men and

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Fox and you know a lot of those guys that

61
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: are gonna stand in place for those guys forever. How

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: many times they miss. I don't know how much time

63
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna miss, but whoever is in there, you know,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to have confidence that you know they know

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: what they're doing and they're going to execute their job.

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think, you know, me and

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Dex are gonna be able to do a good job

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: of helping lead whoever's up there in Russian Russ numbers

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: your sacks and then also like a pff metric, um

70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: like why do you think that was? And do you

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: think this defense will result in? I mean it's hard

72
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: to pinpoint one thing that goes into sack numbers or

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: uh pass rushing numbers. Um. You know, sometimes if you're

74
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: in the second half and you're down by a few scores,

75
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: you know the team is gonna run the ball. Uh,

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have many opportunities in the second half

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: if you're down. Um you know, if there's not like

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: thirty long situations, you know, there's a lot that I

79
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: can probably like look from last year and I see

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: why overall though, I'm you know, I'm confident that you know,

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: coach Dre has taught me a lot this year, and uh,

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm confident with coach winks, uh, you know, defensive scheme

83
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: and confident in myself that I'm going to execute it.

84
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: And uh, I think those numbers are gonna go up
