Speaker 3: How has this team kind of bounced back in practice

20
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 3: this week after what I'm sure is very disappointing and

21
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: frustrating loss against Pittsburgh on Monday night?

22
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, just uh, We're positive.

23
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Man. The guys they they they unbreakable. I'm vindable and

24
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: that's one thing like I can say, wholehearted me and

25
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: like I love about this team and he's guys, the coaches,

26
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: the building alone, the camaraderie, it doesn't it doesn't stop.

27
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: How much of that starts with Brian Dable, the head coach,

28
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: and how he talks to you guys. You know, I

29
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: walked by your guys team meetings on Wednesday Thursday. Guys

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: having fun in there. Obvious you're getting your business done too, right,

31
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: But how much is it the way he sets a

32
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: tone from the top down? And how much is it

33
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: your captains and the veteran group also setting a tone

34
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: in the.

35
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Walk very player led you know what I'm saying that

36
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: you kind of hit it for me right there, and it's, uh,

37
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: it's he's always emphasizing us, and it's it's us.

38
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 5: It's within here because.

39
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: You know a lot of I mean, I'm not gonna

40
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: speak for the other thirty one, but you know, it's

41
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: it's a profession where people could become arrogant or start

42
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: to point fingers when things ain't going their way, you know.

43
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: And like I said with the previous question, I mean, bro,

44
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: we we don't do that here.

45
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 5: And I love that.

46
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: You know, I've been to other places and it's it's

47
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 2: not always like that, man, So I love the guys.

48
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Dave does a good a good job emphasizing that part

49
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: and just staying within the building.

50
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 6: Now.

51
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure though it wasn't a fun film session on

52
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: Tuesday morning, especially when you look at the run defense.

53
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: So why don't we start there? When you look at

54
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: that run defense? Is this something systemic that needs to

55
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: get better? Is it just a couple of mistakes on

56
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: individual plays? You know, because those first three drives they

57
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: had like three or four chunk runs on these drives.

58
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: And it's the second part, which you said, it's nothing

59
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: like within the system, but the scheme, it's the fundamentals.

60
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: It's the it's tackling in space myself included, is getting

61
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: off blocks. It's using your hands, it's a vertical rush

62
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: through the line, you know what I'm saying, to cut

63
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: off edges. And you know, it's it's small things that

64
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: are so major in professional sports.

65
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: And I guess that's why, at least from I can't

66
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: imagine for you guys, for me watching it, this season's

67
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: been frustrating, right because it seems like small mistakes in

68
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: every individual game.

69
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: It always seems to be in a different area, right, yep.

70
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: The impact of those small mistakes on the big picture

71
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: in these games seems to be huge. So as a player,

72
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: how do you kind of bring that all together and

73
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: just try to get some of those small mistakes even

74
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: though they're for every week out of it. So the

75
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: resulting that being better at the end of some of

76
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: these games.

77
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, And that's that's the biggest thing, bro. And

78
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: it's uh see for the younger guys coming out. I

79
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: have a really young group right now, and the whole.

80
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: Teams young man. Yes's of the youngest team in the

81
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: league on a personal basis.

82
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

83
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: Okay, I did not know that. Ye wow.

84
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, So with my guys specifically, is I always

85
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: put it in perspective of our twenty two season. It

86
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: was like five six wins within there where it was

87
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: the same way. We just were on a good part

88
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: part of it. It was just the good guys.

89
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: You know.

90
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: And that's this league. It's that one player's two players.

91
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: And you kind of touched on it two again, is that.

92
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: You either make the big player, you make the big mistake.

93
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: That's the difference, right, And if you lose, those are

94
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: always the big mistakes. If you win, the mistakes are

95
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: minor and people don't look into them. That's that's that's

96
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: the world we're in, and that's what you got to

97
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: live with and to touch on exactly what you said,

98
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: because that's that's what it is.

99
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: It's the league is, man, you fix the.

100
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: Minor thing from the past week that hurts you, and

101
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: something else minor comes up, you know, because the emphasis

102
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: is there, and it's like it's just all trying to

103
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: tie it to one and that's when you play a

104
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: complimentary game.

105
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 5: That's that's what happens.

106
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: So when you have a young group like you have,

107
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: then is it just a matter of making sure they

108
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: understand that there has to be a complete focus on

109
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: every single play because one small mistake on one play

110
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: can have untold consequences.

111
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: Yes, and we do that even within our day. So

112
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: our day we have a lot of early meetings just

113
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: because the group is so young. We're seven am three

114
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: times a week. So it's like we emphasize even within that,

115
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: like we don't care that you just cracked your eyes

116
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: open at six thirty and you know, six twenty and

117
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: rolled out of bed to come here and do this

118
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: walk through. Is you got to take this rep series

119
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: dis rep and then once you need to lead it

120
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: into the meetings and then lead it into practice and

121
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: make it all in one and then that's how it's

122
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: like playing a complete game, being able to lock in

123
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: that long that you know that mental durability.

124
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: So not for sure less you know, we've had run

125
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: defense issues throughout the year. But one thing I think

126
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: you guys have been pretty consistently really good at this

127
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: year has been not allowing the big play over the

128
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: top and passing game. Now, they got a couple last

129
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: week against Pittsburgh. They got you in some one on

130
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: ones without two safeties deep. You were a single high

131
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: and a couple of those whatever. So is that just

132
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 3: them getting the right plays in the right spots or

133
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 3: is that some other type of stuff with maybe some

134
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: of the young guys.

135
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 4: You need to talk about certain things in those places.

136
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: To stay locked inn And it's it's again nothing scheme,

137
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: nothing really personal. It's sometimes good players get paid too.

138
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: That's what we'd like to say. If you look exactly,

139
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: if you look at both of them, it was one high.

140
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: It was just man and man. So there's no bust

141
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: or no miscommunication or nothing in that sense, no bad leverage,

142
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: no bad technique, just kind of good ball, good catch

143
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: and yeah that's I mean, that's really it. So it's

144
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: just it's no like our fate is strong, you know,

145
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: within the system and within the guys.

146
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: So within your group, those are the guys you deal with.

147
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: Tyler is really young, Drew's really young, both rookies. How

148
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: have both guys dealt with? And you know, Tyler was

149
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: in school for a while and everyone I talked to

150
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: in Minnesota said he acted like a pro when he.

151
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: Was Yeah, he had an old soul, right, correct, So.

152
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: How of these guys kind of caught on to what

153
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: you guys are preaching with the details early for meetings

154
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 3: and kind of doing all that stuff.

155
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: Very good man, very good.

156
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: And as you've probably heard a lot about Nuban, like

157
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: he's uh, he has a lot of respect, you know

158
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: from wherever he's been and wherever he's walked within the

159
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: game of football. He respects the game, his preparation. Uh,

160
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: he got an old soul man, So you know Drew,

161
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 2: uh in its own different way, but he respects the

162
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: game and he's he's the one that's really turning the

163
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: page as far as preparation learning. How to watch film

164
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: knowing what to look for, you know, studying with a purpose.

165
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: You know, how much easier is it to play these

166
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: rookies and have confidence in them when both of them

167
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: are willing to be physical the way they are as

168
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: defensive backs.

169
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's the biggest thing for you know,

170
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: within players DC, everybody to accept rookies playing within their

171
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: system is.

172
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 5: The uncon coachable stuff.

173
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: The effort, you know what I'm saying, The physicality, uh,

174
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: the willingness to tackle, you know, those things. The communication

175
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: and you know and that that that confidence and communication

176
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: comes within the preparation, you know, so and that's something

177
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: both of them do.

178
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 7: Now.

179
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: Deante Banks has had a couple of rough weeks in

180
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: terms of controversy. You got pulled out of the game

181
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: in the second half last week. He's a young guy too.

182
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: He's never been one to black from confidence when I've

183
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: talked to him. So how how has he handled all

184
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: of this?

185
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: And a humble way, you know, it's no animosity towards

186
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: people that come up and got something to you know,

187
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: help him out with, whether it's a coverage based thing

188
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: or some type of just help within you know, understanding

189
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: the front on displace, so you know, you got to

190
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: play a little bit deeper or a little.

191
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: Bit softer, you know, little things.

192
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: I think I think he's becoming a sponge absorbing a

193
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: lot of information now being able to slow down. And

194
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: you know because those number one corners they got that.

195
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: You know that that sign and toe that swagged to him,

196
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, So like but in a

197
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: sense of when it comes to learning time, very humble.

198
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: So he's not one of these guys where it's like,

199
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: I don't need your opinion how to do this.

200
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: I'm good, far from far from.

201
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: That's good because a lot of times these guys they

202
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: come in because you need to have confidence that the

203
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: position right, if the quarter you're.

204
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Book, I'm telling you, And that's where I came into

205
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: this league as so trusty I know, I know.

206
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: All right, Well that's good to know.

207
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: Are you You said you're seeing him grow in terms

208
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: of absorbing. Are you also see him grow in terms

209
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: of being a pro and understanding the preparation part of the.

210
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: Team and taking care of his body, the smaller things

211
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: and like being here since he's gotten here his first

212
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: rookie camp to now you know what I'm saying just

213
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the preparation, the difference and intention of detail even within

214
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: meeting rooms, anything small things.

215
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: That's great. All right, let's talk about the opponent.

216
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: You had a nice little game in the last time

217
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: you played the Commander.

218
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: Two sacks in that game. Take us back.

219
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: Why were you able to have the success you guys

220
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: didn't frankly, I know what the time, but seemed like

221
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 3: Daniel's had a really good game.

222
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah you look back.

223
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Now, that was one of his quieter games of the

224
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: year based waited elsewhere. So how are you guys able

225
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: to kind of have success against that offense the way

226
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: you did?

227
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: And Daniel specifically, just.

228
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: The communication and the preparation that week, which was very

229
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: similar to this week. We were very confident within that

230
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: just for me personally, Uh just was that week you know,

231
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: want to really use me off the edge and get

232
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: to show what you know, a good part of my

233
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: game and h get after them, you know, knowing that

234
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: we'll end up hopefully one on one with the back

235
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: and like me as a player, like I'm very confident

236
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: if you if you want to slide the protection away

237
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: from me or two decks like I'm gonna win off

238
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: that back so I was able to get after him twice.

239
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: Now watching the Commanders, though their offense looks like has

240
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: expanded a lot in the passing game, especially since that

241
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: first week. That first week go still a lot of

242
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: passes behind the line of scrimmage, get the ball out,

243
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: bubble screens, all that Cliff Kingsbury, you know, outside perimeter stuff.

244
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: He's thrown over the middle. Now he's doing a lot

245
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: more from a passing respective. So where have you seen

246
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: the most growth and change in their offense from what

247
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: they showed you guys a week two to what they've

248
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 3: done since then.

249
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: The confidence building throughout the year for Jayden Daniels is

250
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: I want to give him the easy throws, hand the

251
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: ball off, stretch the edge, get to the perimeter to

252
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: slow the game down for him. Now we week nine

253
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 2: or you know, yeah, week nine.

254
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: I believe so crazy. Yeah no, man, That's why I

255
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 5: caught me.

256
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, dangna, But yeah, so were far enough along

257
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: with He's seen a lot of different defenses and how

258
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: like they play cover two or Cover three or fire zone, you.

259
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying.

260
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: So games slowing down for him, so he's able to

261
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: kind of stretch the ball a little bit, so we

262
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: expected a little bit more exposed to play well attempts.

263
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: Of course, now they want to run the ball though, right,

264
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: they want to stretch you out and run it. They

265
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: got a power run game, Daniel's aspect in that too.

266
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: So what makes it particularly challenging with the way they

267
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 3: spread and then have the quarterback as a run threat

268
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: to in the traditional.

269
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: Run game always an issue, man, And I mean we

270
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: we're in the division of the RPO college offense world,

271
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: so we you know, we used to it, but I mean,

272
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: you hit it right there. That's the biggest, Uh, it's

273
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: the biggest plus to RPO offenses.

274
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: You have a running quarterback.

275
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: So you really got two running backs and a quarterback

276
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: back there with two bodies, you know, and then just

277
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: to stretch in the field, the flashes of the tight

278
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: ends and the two they can manipulate the two player

279
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: with certain blocks and jets. So, I mean it comes

280
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: with a lot, but once you understand the philosophy, you

281
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: could really slow it down.

282
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: Terry mclaurren, now that he is a top talented quarterback,

283
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: we're seeing that all right, Maybe he's right with these

284
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: other top wide receivers.

285
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: His production's been great.

286
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: What makes him a challenge as a wide receiver to

287
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: someone like you when you watch him on.

288
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Tape competitor since I've been here my three years, like

289
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 2: and we cut that tape on and we go over

290
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: our personnel.

291
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 5: For the week. He's a competitor.

292
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 2: He's a dog. That's just his mentality. He's not the biggest,

293
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: he's not the fast, he's not the strongest. You know,

294
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: that's and that's no disrespect to him, but that's you know,

295
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: that's clear. But he is a competitor. He's a dog

296
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: and he feels like he gonna win. So that's the

297
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: probably the biggest thing for him.

298
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 4: You know, some guys are wide receivers.

299
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 3: That dude's a football player that happens to be playing

300
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver.

301
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good way to describe.

302
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I love watching him play. Just really fun.

303
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: And then Brian Robinson, big physical back someone and Najia Harris,

304
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: I think right in terms of kind of their styles

305
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: and how they run. So how do you have to

306
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: slow him down? Just Harris did have some kind of

307
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: trunk plays against you guys.

308
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, just good feet, good in the good good in

309
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: the open, open space. Good pad level, staying low, not

310
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: coming in the box too high because they bit backs

311
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: and they keep their feet moving.

312
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: So final question, one guy, you're gonna have to deal

313
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 3: with the zach Ertz. He's been paying the button this

314
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: division for a long time. First of the Eagles, now

315
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: with the Commanders. The guy gets older, he tears up,

316
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 3: his knee, comes back, still gets open.

317
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: Still how does he do it?

318
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: He's very crafty. Even the last time we played him

319
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: this year he stole that one from me, and it's

320
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 2: just just crafty Vetinus, you know, like knowing fifty to

321
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: fifty to the offense, so you know, and then within

322
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: how he runs his route like he knows again he's

323
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: not gonna run past you or do things like that.

324
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: But he's a good finess player, very smart.

325
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 5: All right.

326
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: How important is it for you guys to finally put

327
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: a good showing in front of your home fans in

328
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: the building. I'm sure it's killing you, guys that you

329
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 3: haven't put a good product on the field at home

330
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: so far.

331
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: Exactly, man, And to that bro, it's like, we're just

332
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: as prideful, you know. And I got friends who don't

333
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: play obviously in the NFL, and I talked to them

334
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: and they have certain similar comments and you know, kind

335
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: of like what we're doing or what you know what

336
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's like, trust me, I get both sides.

337
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: But it's like, I promise we're not coming to work

338
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: twelve hours a day just you know, doing nothing and

339
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: hoping we lose, and you know.

340
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 5: What I'm saying.

341
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: So it's just it will make us probably more happy

342
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: than them to put on a good show at home.

343
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: And that's the goal. It's always the goal.

344
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Is it just coincidence that you guys have happened to

345
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: player best on the road this year?

346
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: Is there something in.

347
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Mindset because it's a really night day. It's crazy.

348
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 5: It's to us.

349
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: It's to us, and not again with early on in

350
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 2: our interview with the Daves and just the mentality of

351
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: the team, it's us.

352
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: It's us.

353
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 2: And when we when we travel, for some reason, we

354
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: feel like we're on our own. So it's like we

355
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like we get.

356
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 5: Get into battle mode or something. I don't know. I

357
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 5: don't know what it is, but we want to put

358
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: on a good show at home.

359
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: Man, well, getting battle mode on Sunday morning, believe you're

360
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: in DC or whatever you gotta do, we can't wait

361
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 3: to see it play. Thanks man, appreciate you, appreciate it.

362

371
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: Great stuff out of him talking about the Giants defense

372
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: and some of the challenges to Commander's offense. We'll give

373
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 3: the Giants on Sunday afternoon. Now let's turn the attention

374
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: to our scouting report of the Commanders. And for that

375
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: preview of the Commanders, we were joined by Ryan Fowler.

376
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: He works for Bleacher Report, the Draft Network, former employee

377
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: of the Commanders, worked on the media side much like

378
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: I do here, and he also hosts the Commanding the

379
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: Huddle podcast covering every thing Commander's Ryan, You've had a

380
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: heck of a season here, man. I know we spoke

381
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: before the year. You were more optimistic then I probably was.

382
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: We're going to the commanders this year, but I imagine even

383
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: they've gone past your expectations before the year.

384
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, first things first, John, I was pretty such having

385
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 7: me on. Man, it's a been a heck of a

386
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 7: year so far from the commanders. You know, we are

387
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 7: eight weeks through. I can't believe it's been you know

388
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 7: that that far already through the year. But long way

389
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 7: to go with this thing. But definitely, you know, Adam

390
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 7: Peters and company are laying that foundation down there in

391
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 7: Washington for people should be excited down there in DC

392
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 7: for for what's to come.

393
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think we thought, you know, you could

394
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: lay the foundation this year, you'd see signs of why

395
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: things would get better in the future. But the begetting

396
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: this many victories this early, I got to imagine, you know,

397
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: they in some ways even believe they're a little bit

398
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: head of schedule.

399
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

400
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely. I mean you think you look at Jade and

401
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 7: Daniels right entering the year, and you really didn't know

402
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 7: what you were going to get. The only guys on

403
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 7: the roster you knew what you were going to get

404
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 7: with probably Bobby Wagner and Brian Robinson on either side

405
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 7: of the football. There's so many new face in so

406
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 7: many new places. But obviously what Jaden has done to

407
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 7: where you look at the young man right now. Of

408
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 7: course he's battling that rib injury and he's battling through it.

409
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 7: Of course we saw in that Chicago game and through

410
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 7: eight weeks he's already in the MVP conversation. So of

411
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: course they have exceeded expectations. I did not expect them

412
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 7: to be six and two through eight weeks and not

413
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 7: just competitive right now for a playoff spot, potential winning

414
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 7: this darn NFC East here in the next couple of

415
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 7: months or so.

416
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: So the last time we saw Jade and Daniels was

417
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: week two, and at that point, Ryan it was still

418
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: a lot of quick screens, stuff behind the line of scrimmage,

419
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 3: not a lot of stuff in the middle of the

420
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: field in the intermediate range. You know, when he scrambled,

421
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: he would run. He wasn't really throwing on the move much.

422
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: But the progress I've seen from him, I think has

423
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: been pretty astounding, even from you know, when he was

424
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: at his best at at LSU go through for the

425
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: fans a little bit. What areas you think Daniels has

426
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: progressed in the most over the past few weeks and

427
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: where he is right now in terms of being an

428
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: NFL quarterback.

429
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, and as much as it is with Cliff Kingsbury,

430
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 7: you know his pillows of his off as to where

431
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 7: everything is going to stem for the Commanders through the

432
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 7: run game. Really their four headed run game with Daniels, Eckler,

433
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 7: Robinson and Jerryman. McNichols also gets involved a little bit

434
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 7: as he did earlier in the year. But what Jayden's

435
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 7: done so well is get himself a position with his body.

436
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 7: It's his lower half before he ever rips it with

437
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 7: his upper half, whether it's through the middle of the field.

438
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 7: And that was something John I'm sure you heard in

439
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 7: the pre draft process. There was a narrative surrounding Jaden

440
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 7: where he didn't want to throw over the middle of

441
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 7: the field. Well, it's not that he didn't want to,

442
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 7: but when you have guys like my league neighbors and

443
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 7: Brian Thomas on the outside, why would you ever want

444
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 7: to throw to the middle of the field and you

445
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 7: have those guys running vertical on the outside. But that's

446
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 7: where he's been best, I think at the last month

447
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 7: of the season, is putting that back foot in the ground,

448
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 7: trusting what he's seeing. Zach Ertz over the mill field,

449
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 7: guys like ALM's a keyist, even Luke McCaffrey getting involved

450
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 7: a little bit. Those guys behind Terry McLaurin aren't gonna

451
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 7: scare anybody. And that's the biggest thing with this offense

452
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 7: right now. Again another part of that laying the foundations

453
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 7: what they're trying to be on offense with Jade Daniels

454
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 7: leading this thing, and that's where he's been best again

455
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 7: over the middle of the field, trusting his eyes, making

456
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 7: easier for guys up front where he doesn't have to

457
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 7: hold the ball for five six seconds and you're taking

458
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 7: sacks like we've seen from quarterbacks across the league. That's

459
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 7: where he's been best and trusting his eyes, and really

460
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 7: John is as much attention as he gets from beating

461
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: that electric type of athlete with his lower half and

462
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 7: the building to make plays. He's beating teams from the

463
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 7: shoulders up with his head and looking on scanning defenses

464
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 7: left to right, right's left, wherever the progression may take

465
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 7: him and just getting the ball out of his hands,

466
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 7: letting his playmakers do the job in space.

467
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I was preparing for the draft last year,

468
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 3: I ocurb Warner on and he told me something that

469
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: I probably didn't take the heart as much as I

470
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: should have, And now that I look back, I probably

471
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: I've learned my lesson now when it comes to scouting,

472
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: just because you don't see a player do something in

473
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: college doesn't mean he can't do it because you don't

474
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: know if he was being asked.

475
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: To do it.

476
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: And that's I think referencing to Daniel's throwing over the

477
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 3: middle of the field and stuff like that, where you

478
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: know what, to your point, maybe they just didn't need.

479
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 4: Him to do that LSU because everything was working outside.

480
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: So I think as we, you know, move war forward

481
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 3: now looking at players, that's something to keep in mind

482
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: that you don't know what these guys are being asked

483
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 3: to do it. Just because you don't see them do

484
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean they're unable to do it. Kingsbury, you

485
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: mentioned him.

486
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 4: I had some.

487
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 3: Questions about him and how his tenure in Arizona ended

488
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: in terms of how he put that offense together. But look,

489
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: he wants to spurage you out to run it. That

490
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: was a point you made earlier. But I really think

491
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: he's done a good job of, you know, finding easy,

492
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: open opportunities for Daniels so there's not necessarily so much

493
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: on his plate on every play where he has to

494
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: be a superhero every down. I think he's really done

495
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 3: a good job putting Daniels in a position to succeed

496
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: this year.

497
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 7: Yeah. Again, and it does really start with the run game.

498
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 7: You know, if Washington's ground game is not churning, you know,

499
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 7: really big thing for Look at this week against the

500
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 7: Giants and that defensive front where they got talent up

501
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: and down that group where at the first down run game,

502
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 7: you know, if they're not getting into themselves a second

503
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 7: and five, second and six, is they're forcing Jaden Jails

504
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 7: to sit back there thirty thirty five plus times a game. Obviously,

505
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 7: it's worked so far, and worked against some of the

506
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 7: better defense at that they played this year, like at Baltimore,

507
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 7: look at Cleveland going out to Arizona and beating them

508
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 7: some decent ball clubs. But the run game has been

509
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 7: the biggest thing. And that's where Cliff Kingsbury has hung

510
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 7: his hat, and I mentioned the four names earlier that

511
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: really get going in this ground game. They also involved

512
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 7: Terry McLaurin on sweeps, they involve him on motions, they

513
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 7: involve him as a decoy and over the middle of

514
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 7: the field to open up screens of guys on the outside.

515
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 7: They've involved Ben Sin a little bit more so in

516
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 7: the passing game, even just running routes on the perimeter,

517
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 7: a little bit rookie tight end out of Kansas State.

518
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 7: So Cliff Kingsbury's continuing to mix it up. And the

519
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 7: biggest thing too is the ability to run different plays

520
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 7: out of the same formation. And they also live in

521
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 7: twelve personnel, one running back, two tight ends. They'll have

522
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 7: two running backs in the same field that pony personnel

523
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 7: that you see a lot with the Kansas City a

524
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 7: Chiefs over the years, with Jack McKinnon or the Isaiah

525
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 7: Pachecos of the world in years past. So that's the

526
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 7: type of stuff that Cliff Kingsbury is doing for this

527
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 7: offense to where yes, Jayden is a special player what

528
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 7: we've seen so far, it is still early. He's still

529
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: going to prove. But you look at the offense of

530
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 7: what Kingsbury's asking everybody to do at a multitude of levels,

531
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 7: different positions. It's just making it easier in the formations

532
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 7: that they're running to just get into advantageous situations to

533
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 7: take those shot plays which they like to do on

534
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 7: those second and four second and fives, and then if

535
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 7: they have to also John stay on the field on

536
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 7: fourth down because they trust in Jade Daniels to make

537
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 7: the right decision.

538
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: Where Robinson and Daniels in terms of their injuries, I

539
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: know Daniels is gonna play. How compromised was he last week?

540
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: Is he compromised at all? And then where's Robinson in

541
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: terms of the hamstring?

542
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I expect Jane Dailds to be a full hundred

543
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 7: percent go this week. Now. He is someone that not

544
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 7: the ribs are not one hundred percent, and I think

545
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 7: we can say that about everybody in football. Everybody's got

546
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 7: something now moving into week nine. Is whether it's a bruise,

547
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 7: something is going on with everybody. It's the battle the

548
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 7: ability to fight through it. Brian Robinson I expect to

549
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 7: one hundred percent out there as well. You know he

550
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 7: was banged up earlier in the year. So both those

551
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: guys I fully expect to be out there on Sunday afternoon,

552
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 7: but with Jayden's rib injury, you know, it may just

553
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 7: take one hit, you know. I'm sure John, you remember

554
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 7: that Andrew Phillips hit in Week two that Jaydan and

555
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 7: Daniels hit that was basically the biggest hit that he's

556
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 7: taken so far this year and didn't get hurt on

557
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 7: really a hard contact injury against Carolina and he just

558
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 7: kind of got rolled up on that first offensive series

559
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago for the Commander. So he's

560
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 7: gonna have to take care of his body. He's gonna

561
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 7: take those shots as he did LSU. But I do

562
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 7: right now expect Jadan Daniels to be one hundred percent go.

563
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 7: But those ribs are definitely feeling it a little bit,

564
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 7: and we saw that at the back end of the

565
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 7: Chicago game last week.

566
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: When we did our season preview roundtable, I asked you

567
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 3: specifically about the Canander's offensive line, and I thought that

568
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 3: was gonna be a real Achilles heel for them this year.

569
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 3: You know, Jaya Daniels didn't deal with a lot of

570
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: pressure at LSU. They had a really good line, and

571
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 3: you expressed a lot of confidence in the line.

572
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you. I got off the

573
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: call and I'm like, I.

574
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: Just don't see it. But man, Ron, I gotta get

575
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: tip my cap.

576
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 7: You were right.

577
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: This offensive line has done a really, really nice job.

578
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 4: Talk about the unit a little bit.

579
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: I know this some injuries as us you can you

580
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 3: can touch on those as well over at left tackle.

581
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: But from my perspective, this offensive line, you know, with

582
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: the commander says, really overperformed expectations.

583
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's a big credit as well to Adam

584
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 7: Peters and Cliff Kingsbury sitting down and getting the types

585
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 7: of bodies that he wants an interior, and what I

586
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 7: mean by that is he wants guys to have those

587
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 7: wider body types in their upper half to live in

588
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 7: that vertical plane. They got a little bit of nasty

589
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 7: to him in the middle. You look at Nick Alaghretti,

590
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 7: Tyler Biattish coming over from Dallas at the pivot spot.

591
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 7: And then you got Sam Cosmy, who they re up

592
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 7: this year. He's gonna be a long term piece for

593
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 7: them up front. Formerly drafted out of Texas to be

594
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 7: right tackle, now playing right guard has been really really

595
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 7: good for them. So far, that's the interior, and that's

596
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 7: the really the guts, the lungs of your offensive line

597
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: that's been really really good so far for them this year,

598
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: leading that ground game, but out front at left tackle.

599
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 7: You know, you mentioned the injuries. We expect to see

600
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 7: Brandon Coleman, you know, this week one hundred percent of

601
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 7: the snaps potentially, and he's been rotating with Cornelis lucas

602
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 7: a veteran in this league, to where they've been splitting

603
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 7: series every series, every series. I'm bouncing and I'm bouncing out.

604
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be a big test for him this

605
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 7: week of going up against a guy like Brian Burns.

606
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 7: You know that's gonna be huge for him. And you

607
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 7: look at Jane Daniels to where he's got his blind

608
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 7: side on the left side. And I can't sit here

609
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: right now with confidence, John and say that Brandon Coleman's

610
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 7: going to completely stem in a guy like Brian Burns,

611
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 7: who has been excellent so far in twenty twenty four.

612
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 7: That's gonna be a question for me this week. But yes,

613
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 7: the group as a whole has been really good. Andrew Wiley,

614
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 7: entering the year, I had a ton of questions about

615
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 7: but the film and over last year with Eric b

616
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 7: Enemy from Kansas City, he's played well. So this group

617
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 7: has been really good upfront, specifically with that interior three,

618
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 7: leading that ground game and making things easier for guys

619
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 7: like Brian Robinson and Austin Eckler in the ground game.

620
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

621
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: And I'll till my cap to your offensive line coach

622
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: Bobby Johnson, who is here. Good dude, didn't work out

623
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: of here, but he's done a really nice job down

624
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 3: there with the commander. All right, real quick, Ryan, let's

625
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: go over to the defensive side of the ball. I

626
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: think they've played much better the last couple of weeks.

627
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: Where have you seen the biggest improvement from this defense

628
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: from where they played the Giants or in the year

629
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 3: and the Giants only kick fuels, but they did drive

630
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: the ball up and then the field pretty consistently. Where

631
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: has this group shown the most improvement in recent weeks

632
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 3: where they've played a lot better.

633
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 7: Yeah. Defensive coordinator Joe Witt, you know, follows dan Quino

634
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 7: from Dallas this year, and he always talked about the

635
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 7: off season, you know, play with your hair on fire.

636
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 7: We're going to be aggressive. We're going to get after

637
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 7: people well entering the week. Last week against the Bears,

638
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 7: it was only the Commanders and the Panthers in football

639
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 7: at a less pressure rate when blitzing when they did it,

640
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 7: so they weren't getting after people a ton when they

641
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 7: were sending extra bodies. So and trusting in that front four,

642
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 7: that front five. They've lost John Allen, they've lost Cleveland

643
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 7: Farrell at times. Drrence Armstrong's missed time. So the edge

644
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 7: group has gotten better this year so far, in the

645
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: last two weeks. But I think the biggest thing John,

646
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 7: it's not individual performances. I think it's just the guys

647
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 7: up front all the way to the back that are

648
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 7: buying in to what Joe Witt wants to do on defense.

649
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: And it's not extremely complicated. It's a lot of cover

650
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 7: three and it's a lot of trusting and getting guys

651
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 7: at home from your front four and trusting in Bobby

652
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 7: Wagner and Frankie Luvu, who they will probably miss this

653
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 7: week in the middle of that defense. So I think

654
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 7: it's just being able to buy in what Joe Witt

655
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: wants to do defensively get after people. It's also been

656
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 7: nice the last month of the season to where you're

657
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 7: up twenty at the scoreboard and you can flat out

658
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 7: pin your ears back and get after people and play physical.

659
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 7: But how does it happen when the games are close? Right?

660
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 7: You saw what the Ravens game. You saw it last

661
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 7: week against the Bears. Can the defense get a stop

662
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 7: when it matters? And I think in those certain moments, John,

663
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 7: you see the lack of talent that this team does

664
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 7: have on defense, specifically at the edge spot and that

665
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 7: perimeter corner where they really are in that lower tier

666
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 7: in the NFL as far as from a talent perspective.

667
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Luvu really good Blitzer him and Bobby Wagner.

668
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: Those are two guys that will hurt it. If Louv

669
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: we can't go. I think that's a real hit And

670
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: I want to tip my cap to Joe Winn and

671
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 3: Dan Quinn too. And look, we've seen dan Quinn kind

672
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: of shift a little bit in Dallas. He played a

673
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: lot more man there. But you mentioned the Cover three stuff.

674
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 3: He's always going to run a lot of that, all

675
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 3: teams do. But I really do think he's leaned into

676
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 3: a lot more Cover two stuff this year. Ryan.

677
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: You did a little bit with Dallas last year.

678
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: I think you look at some of the I think

679
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: their second highest cover two rate in the league when

680
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: I was looking earlier this week, and I think with

681
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 3: the defensive backs you guys have at corner, I think

682
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: he's done a good job taking some pressure or off

683
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 3: of those guys and keeping them out of some of

684
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: those one on one opportunities where they can get exploited

685
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 3: by using some of that cover two.

686
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they're really interesting in Mike Sandra Still. You know,

687
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 7: rookie out of Michigan, they drafted to be their nickel corner,

688
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 7: and he's taken over a role in the outside. He's

689
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 7: played both spots. He's played outside, he's played inside. He's

690
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 7: competing in the run game, making tackles in the fringe areas.

691
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 7: You know, he had his first pick, the first pick

692
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 7: the Commanders had all year, just a few weeks ago

693
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 7: against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. So he's starting to

694
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 7: make plays in the football as a wide receiver convert.

695
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 7: So you look on the outside, and also you look

696
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 7: at the safety rotation this team has. It's a long

697
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 7: list of safeties from Percy Butler to guys like Jeremy

698
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 7: Chinn playing in the box. Jeremy Reeves is a former

699
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 7: All Pro special teamer that may get some rotational reps

700
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 7: as well. They got a lot of guys back there,

701
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 7: including Derek Forest, which has been in and out of

702
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 7: the lineup. So Cover two, you know, you get your

703
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 7: two high safeties living deep, and you got your guys

704
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 7: in the outside playing.

705
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: Man.

706
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 7: It's really ben Sandra Still and Noah Agbnoghany that came

707
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 7: over this year and really approve it type of season

708
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 7: to where they've played. They played much better than what

709
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 7: we've seen from Benjamin Saint Jus that long six three

710
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 7: corner with the thirty threes on the arms. You always

711
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 7: talk about those atypical Cover three corners that Dan Quinn

712
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 7: loved even back to his days out there in Seattle.

713
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 7: But they got some players and they're making some plays

714
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 7: on the outside as you mentioned. But now it's just

715
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 7: continuing two weeks like this where you got Molik neighbors

716
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 7: and got guys working over the shallow areas to try

717
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 7: to be as consistent as you can if you are

718
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 7: in those manned situations for this defense to get home,

719
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 7: because you don't want these guys covering of course for

720
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 7: four or five seconds.

721
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: All right, final question, anything about this team that we

722
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: didn't talk about that you think is not talked about

723
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: enough or is overrated. Maybe anything that you think Giant

724
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 3: Fann should know about this commander's team heading into the

725
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 3: game on Sunday afternoon.

726
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 7: I think it's probably the interior rotation along this defensive line,

727
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 7: Johnny know, the last long time since really twenty seventeen,

728
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen, when this team added Jeron Payne John Allen

729
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 7: back to back drafts out of Alabama. There is no

730
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 7: more John Allen right now in twenty twenty four, and

731
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 7: I'm not sure he's gonna be really a piece there

732
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 7: for the future. Considering the capital with Johnny Newton and

733
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 7: considering how that young man has played so far as

734
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 7: a rookie of Illinois, and I think it's beyond dern

735
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 7: Johnny Newton, and Phil Mafficks has also played well as

736
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 7: a former second rounder al of Alabama. You can catch

737
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 7: a trend there and some guys rotation like Sheldon Day

738
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 7: have come in and stepped up. And there's guys on

739
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 7: all this side of the ball. John that really is

740
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 7: a big thing that the guys are stepping up. I

741
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 7: think that's the biggest thing when guys are going down

742
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 7: making plays. But really, this interior defensive line that traded

743
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 7: John Ridgeway before the year to New Orleans, who was

744
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 7: expected to be a key rotational piece, and also from

745
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 7: Adam Peters perspective, I've had to mention this John. We

746
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 7: talked about it earlier. This is a team that's laying

747
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 7: the foundation, but the ability for Adam Peters to also

748
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 7: trim the fat of this roster that brought over Michael

749
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 7: Davis to play perimeter corner from the Chargers. He's a

750
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 7: special teams contributor. Now Jamie Davis was expected to make

751
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 7: the Nutrition down to five tech EDGs this year. That

752
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 7: didn't work. He's now cut as a former first rounder.

753
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 7: So a lot of things going on to Washington. But again,

754
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 7: interior defensive line is definitely a positional group. I look at, say,

755
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 7: a little bit more attention for this group.

756
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 4: Right now, Yeah, and they might.

757
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: And I think the Commanders right now are set to

758
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 3: have the most cap space in the league next year,

759
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: so a lot of room to still improve for sure. Ryan,

760
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,120

Speaker 9: As you look back at them as you get ready

780
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 9: to play this game, have there been many great changes

781
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 9: from them? Or they just continue need to get better

782
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 9: as we move along here.

783
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think they've played good football, put themselves in

784
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 10: positions to win. I think they're playing good, complimentary football,

785
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 10: taking the ball away, taking care of it. You know,

786
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 10: a lot of their players are improving as the season

787
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 10: goes on, and you know, Jaye Damis is a special

788
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 10: player that. Yeah, I think got offense, has a lot

789
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 10: of people believing they run the ball well, and they're

790
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 10: playing you know, aggressive defense. They played really good defense

791
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 10: last week against Chicago. You know, they got good players

792
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 10: in good scheme.

793
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 9: Coach, When you talk about what one of the things

794
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 9: that they're able to do, they're a team that moves

795
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 9: the football. Obviously, they are very good running the football,

796
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 9: and the quarterback is part of that. Does this game

797
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 9: come down to a little bit what it did last time?

798
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 9: As far as red zone is concerned, They get to

799
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 9: the red zone a lot, but they haven't been as

800
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 9: effective getting the ball in the end zone. Is it

801
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 9: kind of that whoever can get touchdowns in there as

802
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 9: opposed to field goals has the best chance to win

803
00:31:59,640 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 9: the game.

804
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, that'll be an important element to it. And you

805
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 10: know the other thing will be to be better on

806
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 10: third down to prevent them from getting into some of

807
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 10: those red zone opportunities. And they have a good explosive players.

808
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 10: You know, McLaurin has done it for a long time

809
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 10: and he's made a lot of plays down the field.

810
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 10: I think Jane's done a great job of giving him

811
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 10: opportunities to score the football or make explosive plays which

812
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 10: you know, in turn gets you down in the red

813
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 10: zone to get you minimum of three points. So you know,

814
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 10: third down will be important, Capitalizing in the red zone

815
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 10: when we get into the red zone will be important.

816
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 10: And then doing a good job of taking care of

817
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 10: the ball and getting the ball and creating some short fields,

818
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 10: so you know, it'll be a complimentary game. All three

819
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 10: phases are going to you know, really have to do

820
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 10: a good job of working off each other, and we're

821
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 10: gonna have to do a good job of making sure

822
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 10: we take care of the details.

823
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 5: Coach.

824
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 9: Obviously, the game on Monday night was a frustrating game,

825
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 9: but there's a lot of things when you look at

826
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 9: the game that have to have you and your players

827
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 9: excited about things that you were able to get done

828
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 9: in that football game. Is there any kind of carryover

829
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 9: from a Monday night game this Sunday.

830
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's. Uh, you know, every week's a

831
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 10: new week, so you have a new opponent new schemes,

832
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 10: and the most important thing is is playing well and

833
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 10: playing well in critical situations, you know, playing well on

834
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 10: third down in the red zone, playing well and making

835
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 10: good decisions, you know in two minute drives. Those are

836
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 10: those are important things. Tackling well in the open field.

837
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 10: I thought the line of scrimmage it was it was

838
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 10: good to see to be able to move the ball,

839
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 10: handing the ball to Tracy and getting positive yards. I

840
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 10: think that helps everything else. It allows you to compliment

841
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 10: things and and staying on track. And but those critical situations,

842
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 10: you know, it usually comes down to those in those

843
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 10: games and the turnover battle we lost. That that's you know,

844
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 10: that's a huge thing in terms of determining outcomes of games.

845
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 10: And we're gonna have to do a better job with that.

846
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 9: Coach, I want to ask you about Tyron and Tracy

847
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 9: because he had a second one hundred yard rushing game

848
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 9: this past Monday night. And it wasn't always you know,

849
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 9: peaches and cream. I mean, there was a bunch of

850
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 9: times where you know, he fought through some contact. There

851
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 9: was one play where I think he carried a whole

852
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 9: bunch of Pittsburgh stealers for about seven or eight yards.

853
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 9: Can you just talk a little bit about his maturation

854
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 9: as he's kind of getting more into the NFL and

855
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 9: his rookie season and what the growth is that you've

856
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 9: seen in his game.

857
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, again, he was a receiver, played running back. Really,

858
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 10: you know, Joel Thomas are running back. Coach has done

859
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 10: a fantastic job with him, developing him not just his

860
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 10: you know, skill set and some of the techniques that

861
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 10: he uses, but his mental He's a pro off the field.

862
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 10: He does the right things. You know, he's a good

863
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 10: young player to work with, and that's what you want

864
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 10: out of of all your players, particularly young players, is

865
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 10: when they have opportunities that they're ready to go when

866
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 10: their number is called, and you never know when that's

867
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 10: going to be, and when when their number is called

868
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 10: and they execute and they perform, then they're going to

869
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 10: get more opportunities. And he's earned them. You know, he's

870
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 10: a good young player to work with and we're going

871
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 10: to continue to you know, to grow his skill set.

872
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 4: Coach.

873
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 9: One of the other things about I noticed about his

874
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 9: game is the fact that you have him in there

875
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 9: on third downs a bunch and there's a lot more

876
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 9: to just being there in on third downs and being

877
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 9: able to catch a ball or something, you know, the protections.

878
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 9: He seems to have picked that stuff up pretty good.

879
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, another testament to Joel and to trace there. They

880
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 10: they've done a good job of of each week growing

881
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 10: and learning the things that that he needs to do.

882
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 10: In the mental part of it. You know, it's it's

883
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 10: a tough game there on third down, I'd say mentally

884
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 10: as much as it is physically. And for him to

885
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 10: be able to, you know, understand what his responsibilities are,

886
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 10: you get a variety of looks. Is his communication has

887
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 10: been good, and again that's what you want out of

888
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 10: your young players. You know, guys that maybe don't play

889
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 10: right away, to make sure that they're ready to go.

890
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,959
Speaker 10: And when they are ready to go and they perform,

891
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,959
Speaker 10: then they play more.

892
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 9: Coach going to the other side of the ball, you know,

893
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 9: what is the key to what they do defensively, because

894
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 9: when you look at the commanders as you try to

895
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 9: attack them, there's not a ton of household names for

896
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 9: you know, the average NFL fan out there. Bobby Wagner

897
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 9: obviously is going to be in the Hall of Fame someday,

898
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 9: but they only they haven't given up a touchdown the

899
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 9: last two games. What is making their defense so effective? Yeah,

900
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 9: they play good team defense. But again, they play good

901
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 9: team football, and I think each unit feeds off of

902
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 9: one another. So when you score points, that gives defense energy,

903
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 9: That gives defense an opportunity to do some more things

904
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 9: when they're you know, when the other team is behind

905
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 9: in the game, they tackle well.

906
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 10: They give you a variety of looks. They play good

907
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 10: team football, good sound football, They play hard, they take

908
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 10: the ball away and you know, it's a good it's

909
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 10: a good football team. That's why their record is what

910
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 10: they are. It's a good, complimentary team.

911
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 9: Final question, coach, and we're with coach Brian Dables. We

912
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 9: get set for this afternoons game between the Washington Commanders

913
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 9: and the Giants, you know, trying to get that box check,

914
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 9: get that win in front of the home fans. I

915
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 9: know you're frustrated. I know everybody's been frustrated about it.

916
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 9: But you know it's funny when you walk on the

917
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 9: field before every game, you have so much energy and

918
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 9: you got that hop in your step, and your players

919
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 9: tend to feed off that is getting off to this

920
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 9: quick start, which I know sounds cliche ish, but really

921
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 9: important against the division rival like this.

922
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, no question about it. You know, fast starts are

923
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 10: are you know, big, big determining factors as well in

924
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 10: outcomes of games. You know, how you play in the

925
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 10: first half, can you get up now? Look, we need

926
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 10: to do a better job of that. But you know

927
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 10: we're gonna have to play a sixty minute game. I

928
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 10: guess you know a team that's you know, got a

929
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 10: six and two record, that's there's won a lot of

930
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 10: football games, that's very confident and they're confident in one

931
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 10: another of how they play complimentary. So it'll be important

932
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 10: to go ahead and to get off to a fast start,

933
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 10: to play the right way, to be detailed and the

934
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 10: things we need to be detailed and to execute at

935
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 10: a high level. And that's what it's going to take.

936
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 9: Coach, we appreciate a couple of minutes as always.

937
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: Thanks Bob, and now we're joined by Gary Clark, Senior

938
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: Vice president and chief Marketing and Communications officer.

939
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 4: Request Gary, let's start this.

940
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 3: Earlier this year, Quest was this presenting sponsor for the

941
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: Giants Foundation five K. Very popular event. A lot of

942
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 3: people showed up, had a great time. The weekend, the

943
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: Giants were celebrating their one hundred season. Tell us a

944
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: little about that event and why it's so important to

945
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: Quest a sponsor for.

946
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 6: Us, absolutely and thanks having me on John. Just for

947
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 6: those who aren't familiar with Quest, we're a clinical lab company.

948
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 6: We're headquartered here in Soclucus, New Jersey, and we have

949
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 6: a big flagship facility in Clifton, New Jersey, right up

950
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 6: Route three from the Giants Quest Dynastics Training Center, and

951
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 6: we do about one hundred and thirty thousand specimens through

952
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 6: that facility each year. At QUEST, our purpose is working

953
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 6: together to create a healthier world, one life at a time,

954
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 6: So physical and mental well being is a really big

955
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 6: deal for us, both around our employees but also the

956
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 6: communities in which we operate. So events like the Giants

957
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 6: Foundation five k are really perfect fit with what we're

958
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 6: trying to achieve as a company. It was a great event,

959
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 6: as he said, we had about three thousand people come

960
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 6: through soggy weather, but people made the most of it.

961
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 6: We had about our three hundred Quest employees participate. Actually,

962
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 6: one of our employees came second in the womb's category,

963
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 6: so she was doing really well there. But It's both

964
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 6: a great event for our employees but also for supporting

965
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 6: the goal that we have of working communities to create

966
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 6: a healthier weal for patients. The event, we had the

967
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 6: opportunity to talk about a new campaign that we're running

968
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 6: called for All Your Reasons. They really centers around trying

969
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 6: to get people to start new habits or make healthy

970
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 6: choices for themselves, for their families, for their friends, and

971
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 6: we want people to know that quest here to help

972
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 6: with every step of those health journeys. And then outside

973
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: of the five K, you know, we've done some really

974
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 6: great work with the Giants recently on some other fan engagements.

975
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 6: One to look out for would be Trained Like a Giant,

976
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 6: which is a social content series which gives fans a

977
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 6: chance to learn more about the routines at their favorite

978
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 6: players go through to prepare for game days.

979
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can speak from the production department. We love

980
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 4: getting those ready.

981
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 3: There are a lot of fun to do with the

982
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 3: players to kind of learn about how they train up.

983
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: And also three years ago the Giants kicked off their

984
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 3: journey to their one hundred season, they introduced the Legacy thematic,

985
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 3: honoring our teams from the eighties and nineties. What does

986
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 3: it meant to What is it meant to Quest that

987
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 3: have been a part of that program from the beginning,

988
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 3: as obviously as it's culminated this year in the one

989
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: hundred season.

990
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, we love the Legacy series. You know, we're

991
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 6: big on history and results of Quest. We've been around

992
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 6: since the late sixties. We understand the importance of looking back,

993
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 6: seeing how far you've come, celebrating success and honoring those

994
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 6: who have been part of that success along the way.

995
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 6: We've been excited to be part of that Legacy program

996
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 6: from the beginning, and that idea of legacy and tracking

997
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 6: your historic results and records is riding the line how

998
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 6: we think about trying to help people with their personal

999
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 6: health histories. You know, we've worked with the giants also

1000
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 6: on testing the players, looking at giving insights through lab

1001
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 6: testing to the players everything from the diets to performance

1002
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 6: and even grass allergies. So we take a lot of

1003
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 6: pride in the value of the testing that QUEST does

1004
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 6: for those athletes, and we want fans to know you

1005
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 6: can get the same insights when you test with Quests

1006
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 6: as well.

1007
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 3: Nine or four allergies are kicking in now, so yes,

1008
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 3: it's certainly something good to do, no question.

1009
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,719

Speaker 6: Look, I think people are starting to be a lot

1037
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,360
Speaker 6: more proactive in managing their health, which we think is

1038
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 6: really exciting coming out of the pandemic. I think people

1039
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 6: have also been recognizing the role that lab testing can

1040
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 6: play in and help you manage their health. So when

1041
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 6: you have your lab test done at Quest, we really

1042
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 6: encourage everyone to make a my Quest account. My Quest

1043
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 6: is an easy to use app that's got a ton

1044
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 6: of different tools in it to help you image schedule

1045
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 6: your appointments, your test results, and securely pay your bills.

1046
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 6: But by choosing Quest over time, fans have the ability

1047
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 6: to see their lab results historically and build that personal

1048
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 6: health history. So no matter what happens, if you move,

1049
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 6: if you change your job, your insurance changes, you can

1050
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 6: always have those lab results at your fingertips. We've also

1051
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 6: started offering some other convenience services for lab testing. We

1052
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 6: have a service called Quest Mobile, so if it's offered

1053
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 6: in your area, we can have a lab tech or

1054
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 6: af for bottomists. Come to your home or your office

1055
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 6: and take your lab sample there instead of you coming

1056
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 6: to a service center. That's a great offering for people

1057
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 6: who've got limited mobility or a really busy schedule. And

1058
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 6: we also now have a Quest online store where people

1059
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 6: can buy their own lab tests. The same test available
