1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Let's walk on board right now, Logan Ryan Uh Giant 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: safety defensive back. He joins us each and every week. 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: The Giants Report is brought to you by Stopping Shop, 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: the official supermarket of the New York Giants. Hey, Logan, 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: thanks for the time this afternoon. We certainly appreciate it. Yeah, man, 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: no problem, that's having me, Logan. Before we get into 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: the how is Blake doing? Uh? You know, you know, 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: you guys were rotating with Maggie and I each and 9 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: every week and tough to hear about. You know, you're 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, captain on that defense and calling all the plays. 11 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: How's he doing after the torn a c l Uh? 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's a he's a really he's a really 13 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: good spirits man. And I'm sure it's killing him because 14 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: Blake is about ball. If if you don't know Blake Martinez, 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: that man. He doesn't drink alcohol, he doesn't do anything 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: outside watch film and trade Pokemon cards. So um ball 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: is his life for the most part. But he's in 18 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: a good spot and he's gonna say he says he's 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: gonna be around um to help other backers out, to 20 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: help us out. So his morale was pretty good and 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: he's gonna attack. He's like, get eight months or whatever 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: and I'm back. I'm not giving no timelines, but he's 23 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna attack this thing. Um similar outs Kwon did and UM. 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes injuries, you know, fortunately I had. I broke my 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: leg when I was playing some of my best ball 26 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and you never know why 27 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: they happened. It's part of the sport. Never seems fair, 28 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: but for some people make some better player afterwards. And uh, 29 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: I think he'll come back, hopefully a better player, if 30 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: that's possible, because he's a really good Yeah, no doubt though, 31 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: such a huge loss for your defense, and you know, 32 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: there's just no way to Sugarcovid at Logan. I mean, 33 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: this was just a This is a rough game for 34 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: you guys. Now you're owing three. I know personally you 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: had two interceptions near interceptions that were dropped. I mean, 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: the stiff arm. How are you feeling after this game? 37 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good man. Like you know, one thing, 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: one thing about me is, uh, I prepare really hard 39 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: every game and you're not gonna hear a lot of 40 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: regrets from me because I give him my all and 41 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: I remember, you know, taking my daughter to Uh, my 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: daughter and son to soccer practice. And my son's three 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: years old and he's driveling the ball and he's doing 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: something good, so good, and some kid took the ball 45 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: from him. He dropped to his knees. He didn't think 46 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: kids are allowed to take the ball off for him, 47 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: and he dropped to his knees. He didn't want to 48 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: play anymore, you know. And I'm like, listen, buddy, I 49 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: get back in there. Sometimes you don't win every time, 50 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: you know. So I'm a parent man, I got kids, 51 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: and I gotta te him. You gotta keep pushing you 52 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: one it doesn't go great. Um. You know I watched 53 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: my game. I'm around the ball a lot, which is good. Um, 54 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: I probably myself. I'm coming down some of them, coming 55 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: down with some of those. But you know, I'm at 56 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: the first dB to drop one. I won't be the 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: last one. Um. It's gonna be around the ball. And um, 58 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: you know, looking back at it, if I would have 59 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: zag and said his zig to the end or zigging 60 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: said his zag, I believe I could make some plays 61 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: to end that game for our team. And that's why 62 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I pride myself on. And uh, I didn't do it. 63 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: But you gotta have a shooter's mentality. Man. You can't 64 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: be discouraged. You can't want to quit, you can't want 65 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: to you turn. You gotta go back out there and 66 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: take that shot again and hopefully it goes then and 67 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: hopefully make the players to win the game. But I'm 68 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: comfortable in those moments. I was comfortable with what happened. 69 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: And uh, given Max Stepperd's no regret, I laid on 70 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: a life for the fans and uh and and for 71 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: the people. So again my best shot and I'll be 72 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: back next week and I'll be a force to be 73 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: reckoned with again. Yeah. Look, and I mean I understand 74 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: your mentality and it sounds healthy and some life lessons 75 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: along the way. But you know, Giants fans are super 76 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: frustrated because they see the talent on this team, especially 77 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: on the defense, and yet the team is not able 78 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: to execute. Why. I mean, you listen, man, the fans 79 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: deserve to be frustrated, you don't, you know, you don't 80 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: win a game. That's easy to be frustrated. And I 81 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: understand that I grew up in this area, right, so 82 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: it's not stec when you're from the South. When I 83 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: played in Tennessee. You know, it was all about Alabama 84 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: football and SEC football down there, and when you're up north, 85 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: it's about pro sports. This is people's you know, livelihood. 86 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: It's what people talk about every single day. So I 87 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: understand the importance and it is that important to me. 88 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: And we played better defense that game. I don't care 89 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: what you tell me. Um, we we played better defense. 90 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: We just didn't make the play at the end of 91 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: the game to win the game. That's really it. And 92 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: it's production business and you get paid on wins and lossues. 93 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: So that's what it is. But when you look at 94 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: the fine line of things, we um, you know, in 95 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: the first half there, we let up. You know, they 96 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, Our offense had a turnover and we 97 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: want to got to turnover right back. So we we 98 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: we settled down some of that and we played three 99 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: quarters a really good defense. In the last drive at 100 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: the end, they did enough what they had to do 101 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: to uh A feel go to win. So you look back, 102 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: you clean that stuff up. But um, yeah, we have 103 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: the talent and we have good character in there. We 104 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: have good guys or working hard and I'm sorry, what 105 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: doesn't turn out your way. You know, when you're working hard, 106 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: you gotta keep pushing. So we're gonna keep pushing. I'm 107 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna keep pushing it and we'll clean it up and 108 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: we'll do what we gotta do to win the games. 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just there's no excuses. That's it, no 110 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: get that, you know, but on three and on three right, Logan. So, 111 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean you've been part of winning teams, um and 112 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: it's it's been a struggle here with the Giants, especially 113 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: this year last year. I think Giant fans reacting to 114 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: what this organization has been through before you got here, Logan, 115 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: And I guess it's it's a case of, yeah, the 116 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: the efforts gonna be there. What about the results, Like, 117 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: do you feel like Blake last week was very very 118 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: confident that it's we're right there, like the results are 119 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: gonna come. Before the Falcon game, do you feel like 120 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: this team you've been around winning teams, did feel like 121 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: this team is close? I mean, yeah, I mean you're losing. 122 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: You lost the game by the last week and Tilbo, 123 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: that's close. That's a definition of close. I took you, guys. 124 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: I was going to show last year, right, you guys 125 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: said I'm on good teams. I'm on good teams. And 126 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: I told you on the Tennessee Titans, we were two 127 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: and four. They're going to trade the whole team. They 128 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: were trading Derrick Henry, they're trading me getting rid of 129 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: Ship Jump Ship. We went to the ANC Championship. And 130 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: now you guys are telling me I've been on good 131 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: teams my whole career. That's not how aways how it 132 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: starts in New England, I was two and two. Two 133 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: of those years I won the Super Bowl. That's not 134 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: owing three. The Chiefs are one and two. Are the 135 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: chiefs of bad team? No, but to know you get it. 136 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: But but the Chiefs have gone to back to back 137 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So there's a little bit of a grace 138 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: period there. It is. But here, all I'm telling you 139 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: is that even in the Giants teams that won Super Bowls, 140 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: it wasn't always great in the beginning. I understand it's 141 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: frustrating through the years, but you need people like me 142 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: on my side that can make a difference in the game, 143 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: that make it, that can make the Giant stands smile. 144 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: You gotta make sure I'm believing, and I do believe. 145 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: It's either when I'm sitting done and I'm in your 146 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: seat one day and I'm talking, it's easy to sit 147 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: there and I'm gonna commentate the hell out of I'm 148 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: gonna analyze and break it down and all this player 149 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: is terrible and that team is terrible, and they have 150 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: no results, and they have because you're you're you're reacting 151 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: to the fact of the results. Right you're sitting in 152 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: your chair. You're acting to the fact. But I can 153 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: actually do something about it. And you want players who believe. 154 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: You want players who work hard. It's not a kind 155 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: of lack of hard work and not a lack of belief. 156 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why we didn't win those three games. 157 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm just I'm encouraged enough, and 158 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna wake up early. I'm still gonna catch 159 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: a hundred balls before the game, whether I drop a 160 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: pick or not. That stuff and is known in in 161 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: my mind as a fluke. When I drop a pick, 162 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: it's a flute because guys, see how many balls like 163 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: catching practice. See how many picks like catching practice? To 164 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: many picks I called my career. That's just the belief 165 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: I have, you know, And that's the belief. I haven't 166 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: here and hey, until you guys moved me out of 167 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: New York, I'm gonna believe, and I'm gonna work hard 168 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna encourage other people to do that even 169 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: when the results don't go your way. So what would 170 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: you quit? No one, No one's You're gonna keep We're 171 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna keep working at it and keep getting better. And 172 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show up to my radio show and tell 173 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: you guys that, and uh, I'm gonna try to make 174 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a difference to win these ways. I just wanted to 175 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: react because you're a leader, right, and you're and we 176 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: had Carl banks On and Carl Well respected, you know, 177 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: Carl Um, you know, and he's been around the game 178 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: for a long time, legendary giant right talked about the 179 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: alpha males on on the defense, like where the alpha 180 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: males in that room didn't question the leadership, didn't question 181 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: the character your team, you know, question maybe guys need 182 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: to get a little angrier, a little chip alpha mentality? Right? Correct? 183 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Do you think do you think that's an issue looking 184 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: out around that room, looking around that locker room, logan 185 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: or now alpha males? Uh No, I don't think I 186 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: don't think that's an issue. I think, um, I don't 187 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: think that's an issue at all. I I you know, 188 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: like I said, I probably myself. I'm winning these games 189 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: for the organization, for the team, and I didn't win 190 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: it for us that game, guys, and I apologize for that, 191 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: but I have no regret about it. I go back 192 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: here and go to work, and I think alpha males, 193 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: they show up to work, they set the tone in practice, 194 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: and they go out there and do that. And that's 195 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: what we've been doing. And the results hasn't shown that. 196 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: But it's a three game sample and I understand that. Um, 197 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: but I can't I can't necessarily agree with that. I've 198 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: been on some teams and I think we have some 199 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: good alpha males from this team. Look, and Ryan is 200 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: our guest, you know, Logan, I know. It's it's clear 201 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: that you believe right, you believe in yourself. You've had 202 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the results in your career to back it up. That's 203 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: how I was surprised when st. Kwan said after the game, 204 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: the players need to start believing in each other and 205 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: believing in the scheme, and only when that happens are 206 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: we going to start winning games. So you believe. But 207 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, is there an issue that the rest of 208 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: the team does not have the same buy in as 209 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: you do? And is that something you can diagnose from 210 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: being in that locker room? Uh No, I really think 211 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: if anything come out of training camp and come out 212 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: everything was well written. Is how bought in this team is, 213 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: how much this team believes? How much better this team is? 214 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that was what the story working. 215 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: I was true. I mean, we were scratching a carawn 216 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and camp, we had a tough camp, and we're bought in. 217 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that was ever question. The 218 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: results start to happen, and now people are questioned to 219 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: believe and sometimes with you know, the statements, and I 220 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: wasn't there. But it's all about how the question is framed. 221 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: And we talked about that, right. You guys can ask 222 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: me certain questions saying, hey, K is there enough belief 223 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: and and and the team. You might say, well, until 224 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: we all believe, it's not going to get done. That's true, 225 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: but how you don't You're not there to see how 226 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: the question is framing. We're just again reading the quotes 227 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: and reading the results and analyzing that. So um, you know, 228 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: we talked about how sometimes listen, nobody wants to hear positivity, positivity, 229 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: blah blah blah when things aren't going well. I get 230 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: that we're we live in New Jersey, man, I'm as 231 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: real as it comes. But UH, to understanding what the 232 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: situation is, there's urgency. There needs to be urgency. I 233 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: don't think you're dealing with a bunch of guys who 234 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: don't care about ball, who are rich and don't give it. 235 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: They're all who don't have a tough coach, who don't 236 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: go to practice, who fake injuries, who are trying to 237 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: skip out on it, who are trying to dodge interviews. 238 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you're dealing with that. I think you're 239 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: dealing with good character. Guys are working hard, and it's 240 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: been frustrating for the players and the fan base because 241 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: the results aren't there and they haven't saw the win. 242 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: But the field goal don't go in or you don't 243 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: jump offside, it's a win. So I understand, at the 244 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: end of the day, you see a loss, you see 245 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: O and three, and you're piste off. But I'm just 246 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: telling you that there's some silver lining beyond beneath that 247 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: and the only way to make change it is to believe. 248 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: And the only way to make change is to stay. 249 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Of course, if I jumped ship, if I stopped doing 250 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: everything I did every time I didn't get the results 251 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: I wanted, I wouldn't be here today. I'm telling all 252 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: those kids who are listening today, I'm telling all those 253 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: parents who had kids that are basketball players and hockey players. 254 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: If their kid makes a big one day and their 255 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: fans are bowing them create didn't play well, I hope 256 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: that kids stays encouraged. I hope my kids stay encouraged. 257 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: And I'm still encouraged. And I understand that most people 258 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: came and be an athlete nowadays because of much how 259 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: much Twitter roast them and this and this and Matt, 260 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: But I'm just telling you, man, I'm still encouraged because 261 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: I put a lot of work in. I have a 262 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: lot of fun playing this game, and it means a 263 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: lot to me too, and it means a lot to 264 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: people watch how how I react and how I handle 265 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: myself after losses. I handled myself with much grace because 266 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: I do after a win. And when we start having 267 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: some wins, I'm gonna stay locked in the next week 268 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: and I'm a focus on the opponent. That's that's New Orleans. 269 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: When you look at when you look at your head coach, 270 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: judge the messaging here, uh, Logan um belief, hunger drives. 271 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: He says all the right things. You guys practice the 272 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: right way. The results don't have not come as if 273 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: yet for for for Joe Jess as a head coach. 274 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: The belief though, when the head coach is still all 275 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: the way there from everybody in that room. Yeah, that 276 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: and that's just and that's what and it's there. So 277 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's in question, Logan. Ryan is our guest. Loogan, 278 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: I love what you're saying, and I get like the 279 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: greater philosophical part of it, but there is just like 280 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: the frustration of the fans because you're in a result 281 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: of business, right like, and I get what you're saying. 282 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: But for the person who has been riding and dying 283 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: with the Giants and who's had to endure all of 284 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: this losing. Now you head down to New Orleans, which 285 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: is notoriously a very very difficult place to play. You 286 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: faced Jamie's before I went back to your game logs, 287 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: though I don't think that you've played in New Orleans. 288 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: I might be wrong about that, but I don't think 289 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: you played in the super Dome. How do you prepare 290 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: for what's going to be a super emotional crowd with 291 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: the Saints playing their first game in the super Dome 292 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: the season after, um, the devastation of Hurricane Ida. Yeah, 293 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: I've played. I played the Superdome UM a couple of times. 294 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: It was I think it might have been preseason UM. 295 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: But you know it's gonna it's gonna be nothing like, 296 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: nothing like what it was. You know what this is 297 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: gonna be. I mean, this is gonna be electric, and 298 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. You know, it's 299 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: honestly gonna be a lot of fun because obviously you 300 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: you know what's going on in there when they're city 301 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: and what they're going through. And I mean, as a 302 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: football player, you like those type of environments, and the 303 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: football player, you like the Rocky's environment, and some athletes 304 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: they really get off with being on the opponent, being 305 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: on the road, signs in the crowd, um, taking that 306 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: and using that. So if gonna be electric, it's gonna 307 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: be really hard to duplicated. I was gonna be prepare 308 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: for some crowd noise obviously, Um, but we gotta go 309 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: out there and play the Saints on the field. We 310 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: gotta go play Jamis Winston and Alvin Kamara and uh, 311 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: he's gonna Alba Kamara is gonna have a bigger impact 312 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: on the game and the fans will, so we gotta 313 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: figure out how to how to contain him. And and 314 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: forced James into some turnovers and stuff like that. And honestly, 315 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: I think our defense did a great job of punching 316 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: the ball. I think there's a whole bunch of balls 317 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: that came out that last game. I don't know how 318 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: Julian loves you know, it wasn't a fumble, but those 319 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: are some guys that are forcing some fundubles. Punching the 320 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: ball out just didn't roll our way. And I understand 321 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: that if people don't want to hear that, but I 322 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: think we gotta do a good job getting the ball 323 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: off these guys and getting our offense more possession. You know, 324 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: Jami's is gonna give you an opportunity to make some 325 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: plays on some footballs on Sunday, Logan, you know that. 326 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we've all seen it. Um. I want to 327 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: ask you defense defensively, And I agree with you. I 328 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: thought the defensive effort against Atlanta was significantly better than 329 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: what we've seen here the first what we saw the 330 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: first two weeks for the Giants against the Broncos and 331 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: against Washington. I guess we're expecting coming into the year 332 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: to kind of be the constant pick up from where 333 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: you guys left off a year ago. Why why has not? 334 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: Why is the defense not been able to pick up 335 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: exactly where they were a year ago as a unit, 336 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: as a top ten group in the NFL and kind 337 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: of take this take the NFC East by storm defensively. Yeah, 338 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's a process. I mean I think we 339 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: I think we wish that was the way. I think 340 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: we wish that's how it how it went down. Um, 341 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: it just hasn't been that way. And it's a process 342 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: and we gotta work through it. And we're playing some 343 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: new players in and uh playing together and we just 344 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: gotta you know, players are taking ownership of that. Man. 345 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: Nobody's pointing, no fingers and making excuses. I think every 346 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: guy's saying they could do a little bit better. And 347 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: that's really it, man. It's it's three games and no 348 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: Hall of fame defense, so directly, sitting defense was built 349 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: in three games. We gotta just keep improving. We approved 350 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: last week, like you said, didn't improve enough, and we 351 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: got to just keep improving. But it, um, you know 352 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: that's really yeah, I don't I don't have all that answer. Man. 353 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: If that all that answer, I'd be a billionaire. But 354 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: I don't have all those answers. But for what I 355 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: know is that we got guys that are working hard, 356 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: that care, talented players, and uh, we're getting better and 357 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: we need to continue that trend. Loogan talking about you know, 358 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: being closed to play here, they're you know, talented guys. 359 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: I totally get it. But you know that's like near missus, 360 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: which you know, uh, I don't know how much they 361 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: mean outside of your building. You know, is the expectation 362 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: inside the building still that this should be a playoff 363 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: team or you guys looking at different goals. I mean, 364 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: there's no way we can focus on that at the moment, right. 365 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: You gotta focus on the game of Hetty. And I 366 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: know that sounds cliche and every question you asked me 367 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: has been get what you're saying philosophically, but you know, 368 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: we're we're alling three that's the reality of it. So 369 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: obviously we have to focus on this game, and that's 370 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: all that matters, is this game. When you're alling three, 371 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: all you can do is take it one game at 372 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: a time. So there's nothing philosophical about that. There's no way, 373 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: there's no but at the end of that question, it's 374 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: just it's just what it is, you know, And that's 375 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: the reality of it. And the guys on this side, 376 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, whoever's with us is with us. I understand 377 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the frustration. Like I said, it's not SEC countries, the 378 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: Northeast Post Sports is all that matters, and a week 379 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: to week it's it's you're the best, year the worst. 380 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: That's the society we living today. And we gotta sit 381 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: here and do whatever we have to do inside the 382 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: locker room. And the fans are still with us to 383 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: believe and and go go get this game. And I 384 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: could probably count very few people out to be leaving 385 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: us to win this game. But the ones that actually 386 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: have a um an effect on the outcome, like myself 387 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: and some others, we gotta believe. That's all. I mean, 388 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: that's all that mattered. We're going to house the territory, right, guys, 389 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: so you want some warriors with you. You want some 390 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: guys who are afraid of worry what people think about them. 391 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: And I'm just telling you, I'm a guy doesn't care 392 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: what people think about me. I'm very comfortable in my skin. 393 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: I played a lot of years. I took my i'm 394 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: a I'm a I was guy drafted a third round 395 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: of Rutgers. I had just scratching off everything. So the 396 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: opportunity I have to be a leader and a captain 397 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: on the New York Giants, that's oh and three, I'll 398 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: take it. I'll take it with pride. If you guys 399 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: gotta throw stones at me right now because we're not 400 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: what we thought we wear and all that stuff, that's fine. 401 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: But if we get some Gloria Dan, I'm gonna be 402 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: the same guys. Nothing nothing personal, Logan. You know this. 403 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: The Giant fan is frustrator from the area. You know it. 404 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: They want they want the Giant. They want the Giants 405 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: to win. They were disappointed. There was a game that 406 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta coming to town, a Falcon team that, 407 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: let's be honest, not a particularly good football team, and 408 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: that's a game that the Giants need to win on Sunday, 409 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: were disappointed. You know that this team is off to 410 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: a three stars. Listen, guys, I'm not taking it personal. 411 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's part of the job, right, It's part 412 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: of my job. So that's what I'm doing. Take my 413 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: job serious. It matters to me too, you know what 414 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: I'm saying. We're gonna get it right. Let let me 415 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: get it right. You know, I gotta go to work, 416 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: go to work and get it right. And I'm sorry 417 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: about the Falcon game. I felt like I had an 418 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: impact to win that game and I didn't do it. 419 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: You know, well, it's not it's not just you, it's 420 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: not just you know guys. But I had an impact 421 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: on it. And uh, we're gonna get it right. And 422 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: it's not just no what if. We just got to 423 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: focus on New Orleans and like, the Falcon game is 424 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: not gonna help us next week to win that game. 425 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: So we gotta focus on doing we gotta do to 426 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: win that game and and then go out there and 427 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: get it done.
