1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This place has been awesome. People here have been great. Um,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: So go out there and have a good practice where

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: we'll see he did better yesterday than he did the

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: day before. And you know, we'll see how it is

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: after the long flight. Come out here practice. Um, but

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: he looked good yesterday too, Just another good day. I

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: think he's again he's made progress since he last game.

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Each day he's got a little bit better. Um again

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: being on the airplane for a while, and go out

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: there and let him loosen up, run around a little bit.

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: And but he's been getting a lot better. What do

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: you mean about play local team? I mean the local

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: tea in the same dime. It's like the same think

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: like you paying the stadium local team play. So yeah,

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: I've I've you know, my career, I've done that a

16
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: few times. Um. It's usually loud all the time, whether

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, the last game of the season, the

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: NFL a bowl game. So you know, we practice with

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: crowd noise. We're gonna have to do a good job

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: of communicating, probably in all three phases. Um, you know,

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: but I heard it's a it's a great crowd. Yeah.

22
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: He he tweaked it again on Wednesday and Thursday, so

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: um wouldn't be ready to go, so we kept him

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: home to get treatment. I think Joe and I talked

25
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: about a lot of things. Um, you know, I think

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: we revisit things each week regarding you know whatever player. Maybe, um,

27
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: but it was it was the other hamstring wasn't the

28
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: same one, Yeah, it was. It was the other hamstring

29
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: that the the one that he's had. Uh. We will

30
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: look at everything, and he's you know, I feel I

31
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. You know, he was he was

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: running around, he was getting a lot better and uh,

33
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately tweaked a little bit. So uh, I'll

34
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: just get him treatment and get him ready as we can.

35
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: The yeah whatever did Yeah, I think it was there yesterday. Yeah,

36
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: yesterday you managed to you know, the whole of the

37
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: fan base and seeing the team as well, really put energy.

38
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: Not you you know, she's such a short space. I

39
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just trying to do the best job

40
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I can. I think the you know, our staff, our organization,

41
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the people in organization, the players were trying to you know,

42
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: give every thing we got each day to be better

43
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: than we were the day before. UM, focus on the

44
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: things we can control. Again, I've said this many times.

45
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: You try to do things right during the week and

46
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: try to prepare, you know, everything you can prepare for

47
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: some thing's come up. Um, they gotta make quick decisions

48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: on But again, it's a it's a collective effort, and

49
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: you might not always get the results that you're hoping for.

50
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: But in terms of trying to do things the right way,

51
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: be a professional, Um, where you're supposed to be when

52
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be there, not make excuses. Um, that's

53
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: what we're trying to build. So yeah, that'd be a

54
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: good question for coach Barry and coach the four. I mean,

55
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: you get a wide variety of things each week in

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: this league that you're prepared for. Of course, you know

57
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: we've run the ball a lot, so you're anticipating some

58
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: heavy boxes. But that just because you're anticipating doesn't mean

59
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Um. Those guys up front got

60
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: to do a good job of communicating the different looks

61
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: and trying to get a hat for a hat. Uh,

62
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: and the receivers need a good job of of blocking

63
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: the force players. Yeah, I think I think we've done

64
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: some good things. There's certainly things we can we can

65
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: do better at UM. But I think we're you know,

66
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: we're making progress. Yeah, I think they understand why we're here. Um.

67
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're playing a really good opponent. You

68
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: put everything you got into it each week. You only

69
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: have so many of these games. So whether you play

70
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: at home, on the road across seas, obviously you acknowledge

71
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: this is a you know, this is a cool trip

72
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: relative to plane in another country. UM. We're honored to

73
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: represent you know, the giants in in this game. But

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: again we have to control the things that we can control,

75
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: which is both teams gotta fly across the ocean to

76
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: get here. UM. You know, you try to take care

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: of the players, try to educate them. UM. And there's

78
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: no excuses for coming over being tired. I mean everybody's

79
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: tired a little bit. We gotta do a good job.

80
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: I think our medical staff or sports science staff has

81
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: done a good job. We got off the plane, we

82
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: went right to the field, we did a little bit

83
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: of walk through, we had normal meetings. We'll go out

84
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: there and practice. UM. So that's that's our focus, is

85
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: doing the best we can do, you know, relative to

86
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: our day, which is a normal Friday. Yeah, yeah, no,

87
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: we'll take it. We'll see how it goes today and

88
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, make our decisions and after that

89
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: will be yet the same. No, we're not going to

90
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: stadium now, we're staying here. Yeah, like a normal away game.

91
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: We don't go to the stadiums. You know. If we

92
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: go play wherever it is, we'll keep it as normal

93
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: as we can. Yeah. Like I said, we're we're out

94
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: here to represent the Giants. Um. I think it's cool

95
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: to be able to play in this atmosphere. But again,

96
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: we got to do our job and do the things

97
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: we need to do to go out there and play

98
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: well and coach. Well, yeah, we'll take it. We'll take

99
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: it all the way up until then till the end

100
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: when we can still be some more things after practice,

101
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: So i'd say the same, which Julian I won't know.

102
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I won't know until later today. Remember it was crazy

103
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: shut down interesting. Uh yeah, I'd say. Joe and I

104
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: talked a lot about a wide variety of things, players

105
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: adding players workouts on Monday and Tuesday's. Um, you know,

106
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: we're always trying to improve our roster in any way

107
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: we can. New York Teas or now it's our next game.

108
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, this is this was on the schedule to

109
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: come here and play, and you know, we try to

110
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: do everything we can in the off season to prepare

111
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: for the trip. Um, whether it's scheduling, how we're gonna prepare,

112
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: bringing our chet, whatever it may be. It's just it's

113
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: the next game for us. Again, it's a it will

114
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: be a cool atmosphere and we're privileged to be here. No,

115
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: the preparator, you you prepare as hard as you can

116
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: each week. Um, it's just he's one of the best

117
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: to ever do it. So obviously it's it's very challenging

118
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: because of his talent, his experience, Um, what he does

119
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: out there on the football field. You know, he's one

120
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: of the not just best quarterbacks, best players ever play.

121
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: He just got here. I mean, he just got here today.

122
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: He's on our practice squad. UM, so that's where he'll be.

123
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: He's got a lot to learn in terms of how

124
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: we do things, not just playbook, but how we do

125
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: him as an organization. So we'll just take it, you know,

126
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: each day with him and try to help him be

127
00:08:52,120 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: the best he can be. Um for us, I think

128
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: we'll see, uh, I mean he's he just got here,

129
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: just even travel with us. So he just got here

130
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: in the morning. I saw him, he just signed his papers.

131
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: I'd say, a long way to go relative to where

132
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: he's at and where we're at. Yeah, No, I just

133
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: I think, Paul, we we look at him out there,

134
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: and we have a game plan that you know, we're

135
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna try to execute, and we watch him do those plays.

136
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: And if we feel comfortable with him as a coaching staff,

137
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: and obviously you know, the medical has to feel comfortable,

138
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: we have to feel comfortable as well. And I'd say

139
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: he's said this the other day. I'll say it again.

140
00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: He's made progress. Um, i'd say good progress. Yeah. They

141
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: just they grind, they work real hard. Um, they prepare,

142
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: they they've done everything we've asked him to do. Um.

143
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: I think they take it day by day, which is

144
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: important in our league. Um, they don't flinch. Um, they

145
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: compete for sixty minutes. And again I've said it out

146
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: to keep saying it. You don't have to like the results.

147
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: You have to you have to love the process, the

148
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: preparation that goes into it. And if you do the

149
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: right stuff, um, you hope you get the right results.

150
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: And if you don't, you still can live with it

151
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: based on what we're trying to build and how we're

152
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:48,440
