1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: You know who we'll be playing for your defense. Uh 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: that we wearing blue helmets and know that. So yeah, 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: I mean we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. It's a 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: little a little funky right now. Who's off that corner 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: at the dory and Robinson are help? Oh? You know 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: we'll find out more today, you know, but you know, 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: you know, you know, so you know, you know JB. 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: You know JB will be playing and from there we'll 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: see what's happening. But like you know, we got guys, 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: you know, Jerome does a good job. Again, those guys ready, 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: So whoever's out there no excuses. I know this Dallas 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: doesn't care. So one of those guys that might be 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: up this Jared Williams. And what have you seen from 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: him the first couple of times he got help? I 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: think the one thing about Jared that stood out to 16 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: us early on, I would go back even the last 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: year one. He can run too, he's physical, you know, 18 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: and he's a young player who's who's improved every time 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: we've given him a shot. So that's the main things 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: that stick out to me. Um And then in the classroom, 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: real diligent worker in terms of probably goes about preparing 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: and studying and you know that's that's very encouraging there. 23 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: But it just the improvement that happens day to day. 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: That's all you got as from a young player with 25 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: you not without having a lot of experience. Now, normally 26 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: you would probably move Julian to a to an epting 27 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: spot where you where you need help. But you have 28 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: like three or four spots. I mean, he can only 29 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: go to one. How do you how do you decide 30 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: where where to play Julian in a situation? Well, you 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: know the thing, Julian, Julian. The benefit of having Julian, 32 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: aside from being a great person, good working, generally a 33 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: good football player, is the fact that he could play 34 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of different spots. And you know, he's a 35 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: jack of all trade. You know, he's played safeties, played corner, 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: he's played sub linebacker. So really it's about figuring it out, 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: like really today, using today's practice to kind of figure 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: it out. You know, kind of got an idea as 39 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: we go into it for practice today, but you know, 40 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: you never know what curve ball you're gonna be thrown, 41 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: and you know we gotta adjust and that's the you know, 42 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: I mean Luckily we've been trained to do that, and 43 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: he's got You know, I could see some more adjustments 44 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: coming about your disguises and what not have given a 45 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: lot of really good quarterbacks trouble over the last couple 46 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: of years. The one guy who, even before you got here, 47 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: the first time you were here, has always killed the 48 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: Giants is Dak Prescott. Why why? It just like why did? 49 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Why is he not maybe susceptible to some of the 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: things other guys are. Um. I think it starts with 51 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: the fact he's a good player. You know, he's a 52 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: real good player. Um. And he has good players around him, 53 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: and you know they do a good job of protecting 54 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: them up front. The main thing when you think about Dallas, 55 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: in my mind, no matter what the numbers are any 56 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: given point of a year or what year it is, 57 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: and I think it comes from ownership. Um. Definitely comes 58 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: from the Hey coaches over the last few years, you know, 59 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: and I know with Mike it starts with the run 60 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: game and their commitment to the run game. And you 61 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: can see the commitment through just the economics of how 62 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: their team has set up. You know, whether it's Zeke, 63 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: whether it's Pollard, who's a very good player, you know. 64 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean they're lucky to have him as a number two. 65 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean again, most teams he would be a number one. 66 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: I could see that. Uh, the commitment to the offensive line. Um, 67 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: so I mean I think that it starts there, you know, 68 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: him being a good player and having a lot of 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: weapons around him. Uh. And he's a pretty smart player. 70 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: You can see him like, you know, the combination of 71 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: Kellen just getting him, Um, you know, the opportunity to 72 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: really the offense runs through the quarterback. You can see 73 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: all the checks that get made at the line of scrimmage, 74 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: whether it's you know, seeing Blitz checking the screen, whether 75 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: you see the check with me run game that they implement. 76 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he you know, he's got complete controlled offense 77 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: and I think he's earned the right to be in 78 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: that in terms of the etlite status, in terms of 79 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: how he's able to execute. And so that's what you 80 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: really see from him. But you know, I mean, I 81 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: hope it's not just unless he gives problems. I mean, 82 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: this guy's are pretty good. But you know, so we 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: gotta see what we could do Sunday the Chargers game. Um, 84 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of things there from that game. 85 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: You know, like you know, one, we've got to do 86 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 1: a better job fundamentally, Like you gotta do a better 87 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: job tackling defending the deep part of the field. Stuff 88 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: we talked about all the time. Um, I think you know, 89 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: we could talk about the fight and all that stuff. 90 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: You know, like guys far hard. Um second half came 91 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: out played hard. We just you know, the bottom line 92 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: is this, we gotta just we gotta execute better. You know, 93 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: as a coach myself, I gotta execute better. The players 94 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: got to execute better. And thankfully all our guys know 95 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: that all and all the coaches know that. So I 96 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: mean when you when you when you lose a game 97 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: usually comes down to execution. Um, you know, I mean 98 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: like experience doesn't matter, None of that stuff matters on Sunday. 99 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: It's about executing. And we you know, I think we 100 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: just got to do a better job to execute. Game plan. 101 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Are you drawing up a game plan to stop with 102 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: Dallas does? What do you do with Because these are 103 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: the guys that have and have to put them in 104 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: the best position. I think you gotta take both in 105 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: the consideration. You know, obviously you want to stop what 106 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: they do best and try to make them beat your 107 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: left handed. Um, that's a big part of the philosophy. 108 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: But um, also you don't want to go too far 109 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: outside the box or outside the framework of what guys 110 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: can do, you know. So you know, I think it's 111 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: it's it's a balancing act right there in terms of 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: when you go into the game players as a defensive coach. 113 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: But can you appreciate a Micael Parsons. Yeah, I mean 114 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: we knew Mica in terms of just you know, just 115 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: watch him in his college tape and he's a very 116 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: active player. Um, I haven't watched a live I mean 117 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: I've seen crossover tape. I mean he's being disruptive in 118 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: the past. Rush's been disrupted in the run game. I mean, 119 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: that's why he was drafted where he was drafted. He's 120 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: a he's a good football player. Um. You know, I 121 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: just hope he doesn't have a good game on Sunday. 122 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: But you know, just I mean, the guy works hard. 123 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: It looks like he works hard, doing a good job 124 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: playing football, and I mean he's disruptive. So yeah, you 125 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: can appreciate that. You know, you when you watch the 126 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: crossover tape, you see the good players out there. You know, 127 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: you see the Chris Joneses of the world from Kansas City. 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: You see those guys, you see Judi from New England. 129 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: You see those guys, all those guys doing a good job. 130 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: And you know the players like to see those guys too, 131 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: because the stuff you can learn from too. So what 132 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: do you how do you feel the void if you 133 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: don't have a Leonard. He's a huge part of your defensiveship, 134 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: playing a ton of snaps and yeah, I mean just 135 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, next man up mentality, um, and I think 136 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: you know in terms of obviously Leo provides a spark, 137 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: a good energy for our group production as an interior 138 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: player and also getting those restl on the outside. So 139 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: it really just be from again the group of men 140 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: that we have on the team and just see, you know, again, 141 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if you can ever really replace Leo. 142 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: And I mean again, Joe will talk about the injury 143 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: stuff and all that stuff, but like if you know, 144 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, any of our players are down, any of 145 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: our starting players are down, Like obviously it's the next 146 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: man up mentality, and you see where it goes from there. 147 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: Who was the next man up? I mean, like it's 148 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: a combination of guys, you know. So the thing about 149 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Leo is he plays so many different spots. If you watch, 150 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, when you watch, when you watch the tape, 151 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: he's on the edge, he's on the inside. So, you know, 152 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it could be supplemented by a bunch of guys. 153 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: So they're like, whether it's Raymond cube zse based on 154 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: what the situation is, it gets you get very very 155 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: what makes you love a leader? It seems like he's 156 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: kind of growing a little bit into that role. On 157 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: your defense, I think guys respect the fact one his intelligence, 158 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm not just saying because of the 159 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: notre name thing or anything like that, but just his 160 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: intelligence as a football player. They know that this guy 161 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: is a jack of all trades. Not not all players 162 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: can handle that. Hey plug in here, hey plug in here. 163 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think just naturally players respect that. When 164 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: you're able to do that, not have mental errors, be 165 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: out there and be competitive, I think players just naturally 166 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: respect that, you know, just like players naturally respect guys 167 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: who are really productive. So I think whether his leadership 168 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: is vocal, and then you got to take into consideration 169 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: his role on special teams. I mean, he's out there 170 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: playing PP that naturally, that's a leadership role. There's a 171 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: lot of communication that goes on there, similar to the 172 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: safety spot. You know that Again I've never coached special 173 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: teams at this level, but that PP position is like 174 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: being the quarterback out there for one of the most 175 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: important plays in football, the punt. I just think that naturally, 176 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: his voice, you know, carries some weight because of the 177 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: positions he plays. And talk a little bit more about 178 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: Raymond Johnson about the development that he's made this year. 179 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: I think just and this is me personally, just talking 180 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: about him. I remember going through the process when the 181 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,559 Speaker 1: undrafted free agency started and just how much we wanted 182 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: them here and just expressed that to him. Um saw 183 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: I saw on tape and just like really liked his 184 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: physicality for a position. You know, you go back to 185 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: his tape there he was playing a four eye a 186 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, so like you know, and 187 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: he's you know, smaller guy. Well he was a smaller guy, 188 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: but playing a four eye, being physical, playing with his 189 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: hands um and able to generate some pass rush from 190 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: that position, which is tougher a lot of times because 191 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: you know, you're slightly inside the tackle, generating some pressure there. 192 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: I thought that was positive. But the thing I've seen 193 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: the most, his demeanor has changed going transitioning in that 194 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: rookie year. To understand he's a professional football player. And 195 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: what I mean by that is, um, he has a 196 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: seriousness about him. And I'm not saying he was He 197 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: was never someone to be silly or anything like that, 198 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: but there's a serious and it's about how he's going 199 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: about his preparation. U mcgawan go through the day to 200 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: day with him in terms of how he's taking care 201 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: of his body. But the mental prep um again, the 202 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: demeanor in the meetings, um that you could definitely see 203 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: a growth there and that's always encouraging because again I 204 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: always try to explain to the players, you know, like 205 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: once you get to this level, you don't have to 206 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: worry about class. You know, most of these guys aren't 207 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: married or have kids. I'm like, you don't have to 208 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: worry about that. All you really got worried about his football, 209 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: And I said so, like, if you want to set 210 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: yourself up, you know, to be the best football player 211 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: you could be, set yourself up for life. Let's just 212 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: focus on that right now, you know, because there's gonna 213 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: be plenty of distractions out there. You know, we live 214 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: here in New York City. There's a bunch of distractions everywhere. 215 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, just focus on that, and again, you could 216 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: just see his demeanor and how he's going about it. 217 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm really encouraged by that.
