WEBVTT - Press Pass: Malcolm Jenkins

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's gonna get a lot of criticism from

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>people for floting him play and not disciplining him in

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>some way. You've been around this game a while. I mean,

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>what do you think of the way Joe is approaching it.

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I think he's handling it the right way. I mean,

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, guys make mistakes. Josh has been a guy

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>who's been a great teammate since he's been here. I

0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 1>hadn't gotten in much trouble, if any that I know of, um,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, at some point you I'm sure they'll

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.680
<v Speaker 1>let the legal process take care of whatever it is.

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>And but as far as the team, we're moving on.

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 1>We're moving forward. We understand that obviously, uh, Josh made

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 1>some mistakes and needs to have a little bit better judgment. Um,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we're getting ready for the Giants. I

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you can address this or if you

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>have a perspective on this, but a lot of fans

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 1>don't understand what players do need guns. Um, you guys

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>are going to you know, obviously high profile, a lot

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>of work, a lot of money, fancy cars and everything.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Is there is there any it's like you you have

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you know that if you just talk about UM gun ownership.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Whether you're in the NFL, you're a regular American citizen,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you're you're gonna have your opinion on UM gun ownership.

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we have the right to bear arms

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and people it's you can legally own guns. And so

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're any exception to that. Obviously, just

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>like anybody else, we have rules and regulations as to

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>where we can take those firearms and where um or

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>what we can do with those um and we follow

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>those rules. UM. So yeah, I mean it's there's no

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>need to really get into, you know, whether it's justified

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>more more justified for us as athletes to have them us.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It's our American right and some guys choose to practice it.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome As a leader, and as Josh's peered, do you

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>basically talk to him and say, hey, look, you know

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>this is you messed up, but let's let's not let

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>this happen again. Yeah, I mean, you know, you you

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you got to keep the big picture of mine, you know.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he I think he already understands. Um that last

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and judgment, Um, could you know, not only just jeopardize

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing as a team, but jeopardize you know,

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>his own well being, his own UM, livelihood. UM. And

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>so I think he recognizes that. UM. But you know,

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you you don't want to act like he's just you know,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a bad apple. This is a guy who we've relied

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>on heavily, never had any problems with UM until you know,

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 1>we won't let one mistake, UM, you know, ruin our

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>feelings feelings about him, but you know he will have

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>to deal with whatever consequences do come UM from a

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>legal standpoint. UM. But you know he's a girl man

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and we were looking forward to to moving moving forward

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>with him. Where do you feel like you guys are

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>as defense right now? Coming off watching it in bad

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>game Minnesota, real good game and then Sunday night, a

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of really really good things for fifty five minutes

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and then not a great finish. Do you have a

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>sense of where you guys are? I still think we're

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>really good defense. UM. I think the last two weeks

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>we played really good UM. Obviously Sunday Sunday night we

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>played a really good offense and the Cowboys and we

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>were putting some some tough positions with you know, the

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>fake punt to turnover and did a good job of

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>making stops toward the end of the game. When we

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>needed some big stops, we got them. Obviously we didn't

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>finish the way we wanted to, especially in overtime, but

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>we didn't really give up the big play. You know,

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 1>they earned something, you know, uh Dac did a good

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>job of extending play. Sometimes when we had everybody covered,

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>had him lockdown, he just made a play, you know,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>in a few times where you know, you watch on tape,

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>we're close and to either getting to him getting a

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>sack or forcing the turnover and just came up one

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>play short. Um. And so you know, I think it

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't change, um, what we feel about ourselves. We thought

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we played a really good game. Um, Like I said,

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>we just just one or two players here there that

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we can come up with really changes the whole outcome

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>of the game. The only reason we really are sitting

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>here feeling you know a little bad about um where

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>we are or even the reason that we're questioning that

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>is because the outcome wasn't what we wanted to be.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>But if you watch the game, we played some good ball.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, they made some players. They're a good offense.

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>But we're playing some good some good ball right now.

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>On defense, well, I mean it's you don't just show

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>up on Sunday and all of a sudden think you're

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna finish the games. It's the way you go about everything,

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>whether it be your meetings, your practices, your drills, your lifts, um,

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta finish everything. And and it's got to be um,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lifestyle. And I think this team understands,

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>um what it takes and what things we understand how

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>to mess it up at this point and what things

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 1>do mess it up, whether it be turnovers, um, you know,

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>missing your job or whatever, um. And I think that

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>that's something that will moving forward, have to emphasize that

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>as the game gets tighter and the game comes to

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>an end, those mistakes are you know, exponential, and that's

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>when you need to be able to focus in more.

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>You need to be able to come up with some energy,

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>some momentum and do your job you know, you know,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>finishes and about somebody making a spectacular player at the

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.440
<v Speaker 1>end of the game. It's just about having the composure

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to do your job and do the simple things over

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and over and over again for the duration of the game.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's where we're working towards. And once we

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 1>start doing that, I think our outcomes will will will

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.679
<v Speaker 1>be what we want days and be easily and witting.

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>In that group two, Cruise and Beckham and Sterling Shepherd

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>another really good cast. Receivers was a challenge this week.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>From what you've seen on the table, well, you know

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Odell is Odell, He's he's one of the most unnamed

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>receivers in our league. UM Eli is doing a good

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 1>job of getting the ball out. They move him around

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a bunch, so he's in the slide, he's at the

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.799
<v Speaker 1>ex he's at the z um shepherds in the slide

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>as young player is doing really good runs, good routes. Uh,

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're they're another NFC's passing attack. You know,

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot of um unique matchups in this

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 1>in this conference, so I'm I'm I'm excited about it.

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Um Obviously thirteen is probably get the majority of the attention,

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>as he should, but you know, they're doing a good

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>job of getting the ball out of Eli's hands. So

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>we got to be able to match up and cover

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>early in and down and give our Russian a chance

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to affect the quarterback as well as stop the run.

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Lost three straight on the road and you don't have

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>the division win. Is there a great report on this

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>one then? I mean, yeah, you know, we hadn't done

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that well on the road. You know, we got to

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>figure out a way to get a role win, and

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty much all but one we had a chance to

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>really all of them. But really we had control of

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the majority of those games on the road, and somehow

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it didn't finish or didn't come up with enough place

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to get the win. So this is this is really

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>big for us. It's our next game, but we got

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to figure out how to get a role win, especially

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>here in the division. Would have been your impressions, Jail

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and Miss Development. I mean, I think he's been playing well. Um.

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I think last week for him was it was a

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>little different the first time we asked him to play

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>the nickel, so it's a different spot for him. But

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, other than a few players here or there,

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I think he's played well, especially for the amount of

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>reps and the amount of snaps he's played for US

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>as a as a rookie. He's moving along well. Okay,

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>cool day. Yeah,
