18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Beautiful day, so good to be with you. Well, let's

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: start with this first thing on your mind when you

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: watch your first giants practice. What are you gonna be

21
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: watching for? Well, I mean, you know what I'm gonna

22
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: be watching for. I mean I'm always at quarterbacks first,

23
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think especially in this situation obviously,

24
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I know Eli for a long time, Uh, pulling for

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: him to uh to finish this thing out the right way,

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: however long that that lasts. Uh. And I got an

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to to meet Daniel as well after the draft

28
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: and talk a little bit, and uh, it just seems

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: like a great young man. So at the same time,

30
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: pulling for him whenever that time comes that he can

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: go in and have success. All right, Well, let's start

32
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones part of it first. I know you

33
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of work on the college quarterbacks. What's

34
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the type of player Daniel Jones just

35
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: coming into the NFL. Um, Yeah, man, I think he's

36
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: a cerebral quarterback, understands how to play the game, understands

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: how to go through progressions. Um, good athlete at the

38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: quarterback position. Um. You know, when I watched him in college,

39
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: of one thing and the one question mark I had

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: was was the physical upside that he had? And again

41
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, It's not one of those things that

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: show up when you watch a workout and you go,

43
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: can he throw the ball sixty yards or you know,

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: can he make a deep outcut. Everybody that's at this

45
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: level can make those throws. But some guys can't make

46
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: those throws as much when the world's not perfect, when

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: there's pressure on him, when he's falling away, when he's

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: a little late with the throw, and he's gotta put

49
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: a little more on it. And that, to me is

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: my only real question mark with Daniel. And that doesn't

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: mean he can't be great. It just simply means that

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: when the margin of air shrinks, you just have to

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: be more efficient. You have to be able to, uh,

54
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, have your timing great, know what you're seeing,

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: put the ball placement in certain spots. And so that

56
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: to me is is what I saw, is that there's

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: a lot to like about him. It's just, you know,

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys that believes that physically, you

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: have to be able to carry a team with your

60
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: right arm if you're gonna win championships outside of the

61
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: rare occasion when you have all these other pieces and

62
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: you can just be you know, you can be a

63
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: complimentary piece. It doesn't happen very often in this NFL,

64
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: UM And so that, to me is is the one

65
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: thing I'm looking forward to seeing is um. You know,

66
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: does he grow? Does he get better? Is what I

67
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: saw in college? You know, not what I see when

68
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: I when I'm watching and kind of the live bullets go.

69
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: And does he have that other piece or is he

70
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: so good in those other areas that even if he

71
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have that piece, he's got the ability to carry

72
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: his team and carry the giants um into that championship

73
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: type level. I thought that Kevin Gilbride a lot. He

74
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: told me back when he was a younger offensive coordinator.

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: He would say, arm strength is what I was most

76
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: concerned with. It. As he got older, though, we realized

77
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: it's while the bullets are flying at you, being able

78
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: to see things, slow it down, anticipate and do all

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: those things mentally. Is that to you now, as you've

80
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: been playing quarterback for so long the most important part

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: of playing quarterback in the NFL without a doubt. I mean,

82
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: and you're talking to a guy that wasn't the most

83
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: talented guy physically either, you know, not a guy that's

84
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna throw a ball through a wall, or you gonna

85
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: be able to throw at sixty yards falling away like

86
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: some of the guys can. So um So, I've always

87
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: believed that is that you know what you're seeing, no

88
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: when to throw the football, and be accurate with it.

89
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: If you can do those three things, you can be

90
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: very very successful. Um But again, I also understand that

91
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't the most physically talented, I could

92
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: make some of those special throws and then and I

93
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: could put it in tight windows, so I could carry

94
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a team that way. But without a doubt, those things

95
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: that we just talked about are way way more important

96
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: than the arm strength or the ability. And again, sometimes

97
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: it's not just arm strength. I mean, you look at

98
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: a guy like Aaron Rodgers, it's the ability to make

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: throws when you're in a funky position. You know, that

100
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: becomes the other part of the physical talent is can

101
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: you be falling away or I mean, yeah, exactly and

102
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: so um so, Again, it's not just arm strength. You know,

103
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: there's a level level of physicality that that you have

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: to play with at the quarterback position that allows you

105
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: to get away or to make plays that not everybody

106
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: can make. And That's what separates guys that can read

107
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: and anticipate and make good decisions. Okay, great, a lot

108
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: of guys can do that. Now do you have that

109
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: extra piece? Because that extra pieces what can elevate you to,

110
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, to whatever championship level or Hall of Fame

111
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: level or whatever that may be. For a young quarterback

112
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: playing his first year in the NFL, what's the toughest

113
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: part of the transition and the toughest thing that he's

114
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: going to have to learn and figure out to be

115
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: successful going from what he did a duke to doing

116
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do here for the Giants. I mean,

117
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: I think we always talk about speed, and so it's

118
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: the speed of processing things. It's the speed of how

119
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: you know quickly windows close. Um. So it's kind of

120
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: the idea that you have to learn what you can

121
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: and cannot do at this level. And so that's the

122
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: hardest part as a rookie is you don't get a

123
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to do that. You know, your little preseason,

124
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: you know, and you get into a game and it's

125
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: like you sometimes have to learn on the fly. Oh shoot,

126
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: I can't make that throw. Okay, I can still make

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: that throw or that throw needs to be made, you know,

128
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: with a quick hitch or this. And so I think

129
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: that's the hardest part is, you know, getting acclimated with

130
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: everything that is the NFL and being able to figure

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: out as quickly as possible what success looks like for me,

132
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: what I'm able to get away with what I can't do, um,

133
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: and be able to memory bank that instead of making

134
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: the same mistakes over and over again, thinking that, hey,

135
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, I made this throw in college, I gotta

136
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: be able to make it here. I got it, And

137
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: then you know, too long, you've made that mistake too

138
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: many times, and you know you're kind of getting pushed

139
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: to the side because you haven't realized and learned, okay,

140
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: at this level, can't make that throw the same way.

141
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: What are your expectations for Eli Manning this year heading

142
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: into year number sixteen for him? UM, My expectations are

143
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: the same they always have been for Eli. UM. Although

144
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that Eli needs to play the game

145
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: a certain way and if they allow him to play

146
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the game the way he's always played it, UM, I

147
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: don't look at him and say he's missing throws or

148
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: he can't make throws. I see the same kind of guy.

149
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: But um, but he's a guy that likes to see

150
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: things come open and then attack it. Um. If you

151
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: try to force him to anticipate more, get the ball

152
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: out of his hands quicker, I just don't take that

153
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: plays to his strengths. And so the last couple of years,

154
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: with some of the issues they've had around him, they've

155
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: tried to ask him to play it a little bit

156
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: differently than he's always played it, and I think it's

157
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: forced him to struggle a little more than you know.

158
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't look at it and say, oh, physically he's diminishing,

159
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: that's why he's having the struggles. I look at and say,

160
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: pieces around him aren't what he needs to succeed. So

161
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: now he's struggling because of that. But if you can

162
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: get him back, and you know, we saw glimpses last year.

163
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, there were stretches where he looked like the

164
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: old Eli Manning, you know, and that to me goes

165
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: to show see he can make the throws. You just

166
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: need to make sure the environment is what he needs

167
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: to succeed. And so that to me is what I'm

168
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking for this year, is you know, the wide

169
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: receivers without the big play guy like like O b J.

170
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Can Eli be that efficient guy that works the ball

171
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: down the field that's never necessarily been his m O.

172
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: Offensive line has been an issue for a couple of years.

173
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: You know, elis a guy that needs to see it

174
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: and take a little bit more time, maybe that extra

175
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: hitch to deliver it. He doesn't get that extra hitch. Now.

176
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: He's trying to play the game a little bit differently

177
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: than he has always has. And so those are a

178
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: couple of the questions that I'm looking at to go, Okay,

179
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: how does this play out? Because I think that's I

180
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: think that's going to determine how everything plays out. You know,

181
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: talking about Eli's career this season, Uh, you know the

182
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: whole situation with Daniel Jones. I think a lot is

183
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: writing on that UM, but I fully expect, if the

184
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: pieces around him are right, UM, him to have another

185
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: solid season. The easy comparison is to compare Eli coming

186
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, you was the staughter to

187
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: what's going on this year. Do you think that's a

188
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: fair comparison or do you think it's different enough where

189
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: people are just trying to put one and one together.

190
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: When am I not necessarily equal to Yeah? I mean

191
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: I think it's it's completely different, um, you know, because

192
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: you're looking at it from a standpoint of a guy

193
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: that came here solely for the purpose of keeping the

194
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: seat warm until they felt the young guy was ready. Um,

195
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: as opposed to a guy that's a giant icon. Uh

196
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: you know that you know, has been the face of

197
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: this franchise and done everything right and done everything you

198
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: would ask, um, you know, a top draft pick to

199
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: do for you and winning championships and carrying heself the

200
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: right way. And so I think there's a lot more

201
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: sensitivity to how it has to play out this time

202
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: than it did the first time. I mean the first time,

203
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: it really came down to, Okay, when's the right time

204
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: to put Eli in? You know, it was that question

205
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: probably every week. Is now the right time? Is now

206
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: the right time? Is now the right time? I don't

207
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the case now. UM. I think

208
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: it's more gonna be in a perfect world. They want

209
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Eli to be able to write his own ending. That

210
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: to me is the perfect world. And I think the

211
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Giants go into this thing saying that same thing is

212
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: we want him to be able to write in his

213
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: own way. What does that look like? Is that sixteen

214
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: games this year? You know, is it two years? UM?

215
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: When is the right time for that? But I think

216
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna be very sensitive to who Eli is and

217
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: what he's meant to this organization, and it's not going

218
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: to be a situation where we're just looking for an

219
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: opportunity or a reason why. I don't think you're going

220
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to see that this year. I've lead they go in

221
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: with this Zella's job. We expect him to play sixteen

222
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: games and barring something you know, catastrophic or or outrageous,

223
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: that's how we see is playing out. And if we

224
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: feel at the end of this year that it's time,

225
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: we'll go to Daniel at the beginning of next year

226
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to seven games in nine games, in twelve

227
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: games in UM, I think that's how they would like

228
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: this thing to play out. UM. But again, we always

229
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: know there's extenuating circumstances throughout the course of an NFL season,

230
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: and what that looks like depending on how good this

231
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: team is and how competitive they are, UM, I think

232
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: can help dictate that for Eli. What is it gonna

233
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: be like for him. Do you think put get into

234
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: his shoes a little bit trying to handle us because

235
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: he always gonna get questions every week, whether or not

236
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: it's imminent or not, they're just going to come. What

237
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: is the stuff that he's gonna have to deal with

238
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: over the course of the year to stay the course

239
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: he's he's Mr Steady, but it's still a challenge. Well,

240
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's always a couple of things

241
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: that have to come into play. The first thing is

242
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: you have to be very realistic with the situation and

243
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: with your situation. Um, you know, I think we're always biased.

244
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: We always want to feel like we're playing better than

245
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: than we are, and so I think that becomes the

246
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: first part of it is be realistic about what the

247
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: situation is. Realistic that they you know, they just drafted

248
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: your backup, that's the case. It's going to happen at

249
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: some point. Be realistic, Be realistic with how you play.

250
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: And that can be both sides. If you're not playing well,

251
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: got to be realistic with that and understand. Or if

252
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: you're playing well and people are still asking you and

253
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: people are still clamoring for the young guy to be

254
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: able to quiet that noise and go I'm good. I

255
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: know I'm playing well. I'm not worried about the noise

256
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: because I'm playing well. Um. But but I think that

257
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: becomes the biggest part is it's just you've got to

258
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: be able to look outside of the situation and be

259
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: very realistic with how it's playing out. Otherwise you can

260
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: get better. Otherwise, you can get you can get tight,

261
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: you can get tents, you can worry about things that,

262
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: um that if you worry about him, probably make you

263
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: a worse quarterback than you would be otherwise. And so um.

264
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: I always kind of found that in the different situations

265
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: I was in was I had to really be able

266
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: to put myself in and take a step back and go, Okay, Kurt,

267
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: how are you playing? What would you do? What is

268
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: the right situation here? And the more you can accept

269
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: that and be realistic and be honest with yourself, I

270
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: think the easier it is to to deal with whatever

271
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: is being thrown at you. The less you're like that,

272
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and the more you know you try to, you know,

273
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: stick your head to the wall or to the fire

274
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: and go on, I'm still great. I can still do this.

275
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Even if I'm not doing this. I think the more

276
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: problems you have in dealing with and wrestling with all

277
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: the issues that can come up. The final question on

278
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: the transition, how is this something that coach Shermer handles

279
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Because once you get into the season, the backup quarterback

280
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of reps of practice. Right, he

281
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: might do the scouts team tough, but he's not doing

282
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: stuff with the first team. So is this really just

283
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: a matter of Eli playing well enough in the team

284
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: winning enough games to keep Jones off the field. How

285
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: much does Jones development impact this? How do you handle

286
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: this if your head coach tremor and what do he

287
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: uses a judge to to when you make the move? Well,

288
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: I think the hardest part is that I don't think

289
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: there's a formula. So I can't sit here now and say, Okay,

290
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: this is what coach Shermer should do. I think you

291
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: have to feel out every situation. You have to feel

292
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: out where your team is. You got to feel out

293
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: where the organization is. You've got to feel it out

294
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: individually to go okay, I have to make the best

295
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: decisions for Eli and Daniel, but I also have to

296
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: make the best decisions for the giants, Like gotta make

297
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: the best decisions for me, and so I just I

298
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of factors that go into this, um,

299
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: you know, and and a big one is gonna come

300
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: down to what do we feel Eli is? Do we

301
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: feel Eli is a one more year guy? Do we

302
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: feel Eli is a possibly a two year guy? Do

303
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: we feel he can even possibly pay play longer than that?

304
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: Do we really feel he's on his last Let I

305
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: think a lot of that plays into it, as well

306
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: as who you honestly think Eli is at this point

307
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: in time in his career, and you know whatever that

308
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: is is. I mean, now he struggles for a game

309
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: where he struggles for two games, you don't look to go,

310
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: let's go to the young guy, because you know, if

311
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: you still feel like he's that guy, then, like any

312
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: other quarterback, he had a couple of games struggle. I

313
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: mean we all do that. How good you are, how

314
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: bad you I mean, you have those moments. So I

315
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: think that plays into it. But I just I don't

316
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: think there's a there's a again, I want to say

317
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: right scenario because it's probably a perfect scenario, But I

318
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: just don't think you know that ahead of time because

319
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: you have to just wait and see how everything's progressing.

320
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: It And again I looked back to, you know, when

321
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: I was with Eli and Oh four and Tom Coughlin,

322
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: basically when we were a playoff team at the time.

323
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: Um yeah, And I mean somebody just told me today

324
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: that the last team in the playoffs that year was

325
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: eight and eight, you know, so there was a great

326
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: chance we make the playoffs. There's no doubt that I

327
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: was the better quarterback at that time. But Tom looked

328
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: at a big picture and said, well, I don't think

329
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: we're a championship type team this year, so I have

330
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: to play for next year or two years from now,

331
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: and what's the right move. Um. Again, I think all

332
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: those things can factor into this, and you just don't

333
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: know until you cross some of those pasts and go, Okay,

334
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: this leans me here or this takes me there, or

335
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: now I'm i I'm looking at this differently week eight

336
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: than I did week one, and um so yeah, I mean,

337
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: you don't envy guys that are in that position because

338
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: you really want to do the right thing for Eli,

339
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: because he deserves that. Um. But at the same time,

340
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: you have to try to do the right thing for

341
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: the team. Again, like you know forward, you sped up

342
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: the process for Eli. So here they are a couple

343
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: of years later and they win a championship, you know,

344
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: and who knows how much of that was because he

345
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: got seven games to kind of take his lumps and

346
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: grow and learn. Um, So I think all those things

347
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: have to take be taken into account. You mentioned the

348
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: offense no Odell Beckham Jr. Offensive line better, Kevin Zeiler

349
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: and Mike Ramers will slow fly the right side. What

350
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: does this offense have to look like from a schematic

351
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: play calling one past balanced type scenario for it to

352
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: be successful? Um, you know, I don't know. I mean

353
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: I think it's good, look different, you know, I think, Um,

354
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: sometimes the hardest thing about an offense is when you

355
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: have to drive twelve, fourteen, sixteen plays to get points

356
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: on the board. You know, because sometimes you like the

357
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: o b js that you can throw a little slant

358
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: too and he takes at sixty and you know, because

359
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: you need those difference making players. Evan Ingram, I think

360
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's kind of a mismatch and has

361
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: the big playability. Of course, a Kwon, you know, can

362
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: take it to the house any given time. Um, But

363
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna kind of be a dictator for

364
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: this team, is a can they be efficient enough if

365
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: they don't have those explosive plays? You know, Eli, can

366
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: he be you know, that completion guy and a first

367
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: down guy you know, week in and week out to

368
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: put those points on the board. And if not, who

369
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: becomes that splash play guy that gives them the big

370
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: play touchdowns that allows them to be more of an

371
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: explosive offense. If they're not able to be you know, efficient,

372
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: can they count on somebody to be that guy? Um? Again,

373
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good players, but I don't know if

374
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: they have that one staple guy that you can count

375
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: on weekend and week out to be that big playmaker.

376
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: And then just in terms of team success, Kurt, you

377
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: flipped the other side of the ball and there's a

378
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: lot of young, unproven guys on defense, especially in the secondary.

379
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: When you're a veteran quarterback and you go out there

380
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: and you see, I got three corners out there that's

381
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: played like two NFL games, How does that change things

382
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: for an opposing offense and for the Giants Devens when

383
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: you're running out a lot of young guys in the secondary, Well,

384
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the biggest thing as a quarterback

385
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: is I try not to look at talent level as

386
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: much as I tried to look at scheme. And I

387
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: think the hardest thing is when you have a bunch

388
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: of young guys is trying to you know, do a

389
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: lot of things and do a lot of pre snap

390
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: stuff and and and hold your coverages to the last

391
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: second to confuse a quarterback. And you know, if you

392
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: don't do that with you know, a lot of these

393
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league, if you just show them what

394
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna show them, yeah, you're usually in trouble unless

395
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: you have you know, that flat out talent to be

396
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: able to match up. And so that's kind of what

397
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: I always looked at when I was going against young teams,

398
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: is like they're gonna be limited in what they can do,

399
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: and if they show me what they're doing, you know,

400
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a long day, you know, for the defense.

401
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: So I think that becomes the bigger thing even you know,

402
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: even then, how talented are we is how can we

403
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, how much can we do to cover up

404
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: for our youth and to create bad plays by the

405
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: other team? Um, you know, with with all the young

406
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: guys that we have, and we've got to get all

407
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: them in the right spot. What's your feel for the

408
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: NFC East. How do you see this division playing up?

409
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are gonna be there. I still want to

410
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: see what they become offensively, especially in the past game.

411
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: But their defense is gonna be strong and they're gonna

412
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: be able to run the football. So I think they're

413
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a good team. I'm not sure they're a

414
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 1: great team. The Eagles. I think the Eagles are as

415
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: good as they've been in the last couple of years

416
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: and made some really good moves. But a lot comes

417
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: down to can Carson get back to form from a

418
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But yeah, I do look at

419
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: those two teams kind of out ahead with a lot

420
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: more questions about the Giants and the Redskins and what

421
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: they can be. Uh So I think teams are gonna

422
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, these teams are gonna be chasing those teams, um,

423
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: you know. But but again, I think, you know, you

424
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: look at it different ways. I think the Giants have

425
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: done some things to improve themselves. Um, the question becomes,

426
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, do you improve yourself with offensive line play

427
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: that makes up for the splash plays of an O

428
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: B J. And you know, I just want to see

429
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: how that plays out, because to me, consistency is always

430
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: the most important thing. But if you didn't make moves

431
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: enough to be consistent and you miss out on big plays,

432
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: now that changes the complexion of who you are as

433
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: an offense too. So yeah, a lot more questions about

434
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: these two teams. I think there's a lot more answers

435
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and the Eagles. But that's the beautiful

436
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: thing about our league is that you can say that

437
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: going into training camp in day one, and lots can

438
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: change very quickly with an injury here or a guy

439
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: not playing up to his standards um and so I'm

440
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how it plays A final question,

441
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: if there's one or two things you had to pick

442
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: out that have to go right for the Giants this

443
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: year and then to be playing meeting full football late

444
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: November only December, fighting for a playoff spot, what are

445
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: they offensive defensive line? I think it starts with the

446
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: offensive line. They made their improvements there. Those have to

447
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: pay off, specifically in getting Kwan going in the run

448
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: game first and foremost, to take the pressure off of

449
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: everybody else and not have to lean on the big

450
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: plays and the defensive line. Um that I think they

451
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: have to create a pass rush. You know that they

452
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: don't have the horses on the other side that can

453
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: carry you. Um, you know for the most part that

454
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: they have to be able to create a pass rush.

455
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I look at the roster and I go, Okay,

456
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: where's it coming from? You know, what where are they

457
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: gonna you know, because again that's what the game is

458
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: is you still gotta win the line of scrimmage, especially

459
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: in the past. First, Um, you know league like we're

460
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: in now, gotta get pass rush on the quarterback. If

461
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: you don't, there's a lot of guys that can beat
