00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Giant quarterbacks, starter Daniel Jones and backup Davis Webb. First up,

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. All right, now we're joined by Giants quarterback

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. Daniel, how are you man? I'm doing well, John,

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: How are you doing great? So we're at the end

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: of the spring here. You guys have finished all your

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: offseason workout programs and all that stuff. What do you

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: guys think you've accomplished as an offense? Um? You know,

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing is putting in the system,

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: putting in the uh you know, kind of laying the

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: foundation for UH. UM. You know, what the offense is

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: and everyone learning it, understanding the verbage, understanding how we're

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: going to communicate, um, and getting an understanding of the

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: of the plays and and how we want to run them.

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: So we've gotten some valuable reps with all that stuff,

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and um, I feel like we've made some good progress.

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: A lot of work still to be done. Is this

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: at all similar to any other system you've been in,

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: either college, r NFL? Um, I'd say there's probably, you know,

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: some similarities here and there with with every system, But

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I say, for the most part, it's it's pretty different,

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: you know, I think and uh, you know, I think

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: most guys would would say that, and um, you know,

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot to learn and and uh, like I said,

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: we've made some good progress this this spring. Do you

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: see some of the West Coast stuff you did with

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: with coach Scharmurby as COFA is coming from Andy Reid.

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: That's a West Coast system. Is there anything that's coming

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: from there that maybe looks a little similar to you

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: or no? Um? Yeah, I mean there's some concepts here

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: and there, you know, I think, Um, you know, when

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: you look across the league, a lot of teams are

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: running similar plays and similar concepts, so you stuff like

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: that show up. But um, you know, for the most part,

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, pretty different. Would have been the major

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: differences and and maybe the major challenges for you having

46
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: to adjust to some of the new things they're asking

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you to do in this system. Um, well, I think, um,

48
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: the verbage is completely different, you know, so learning that

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and learning, um, you know, how we're gonna call plays.

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: How are you gonna uh, you know, memorizing terms and

51
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: certain words that that mean you know, a series of

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: things and and uh, understanding all that, you know all

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: that and and uh you know, so that's been you know,

54
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: primarily what we're focused on this spring, and and uh,

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: like I said, we're doing well. The one thing wide

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: receivers have mentioned to me is that they have a

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: little bit more freedom to maybe adjust what they're doing

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: based on what the defense shows. Right, So as you

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: start to try to do that and you gain more confidence.

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: How have you guys tried to get on the same page,

61
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: So both of you were seeing the same thing, and

62
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: you're going to anticipate what they're gonna do based on

63
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: what the defense is showing. Yeah, I think that, you know,

64
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: ultimately comes down to just reps. You know, you can

65
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: obviously there's you know, there needs to be the conversations

66
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: and the meetings and watching film you talk through certain

67
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: situations and if this happens, we'll do this. If this happens,

68
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: we'll do something else. But um, you know, most most

69
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: valuable thing you can do when when you're trying to

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: figure out that is, you know, play football and get

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: the reps on the field, run the same play against

72
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: a number of different coverages, a number of different looks.

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: You know, that gives you the chance to to make

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: those corrections to say, you know, we want to do

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: this in this situation next time. And um, you know,

76
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: so that's been big for us. I think you know,

77
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: this offense gives receivers a lot of freedom and gives

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: them the power to to get open to win and

79
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they've you know, they've really

80
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: embraced that and done well so far the spring. Now,

81
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: you've grown a lot so far in your career. What

82
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: was your focus aside from learning the offense technically as

83
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback? Where what were some of the major things

84
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: you were trying to improve on heading into this year?

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: For you? Um, I think you know they talk about uh,

86
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, playing the position starts with your feet, and

87
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I think that's true. I think, um, you know, focus

88
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: on some of that stuff, more fundamental stuff and keeping

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: my feet uh you know, tighter and and uh in

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: a position to where I can get the ball out

91
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: of my hands uh as quick as possible once I

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: make a decision. So I think that's you know, probably

93
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me. Are you excited just seeing

94
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: what this offense looks like on paper, what you've been

95
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: able to do on the field in the spring, seeing

96
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: how your skill set can fit into what Coach Kafka

97
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: and Coach Table are asking you to do. Yeah, I

98
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: am excited. I think, Um, when you look at um,

99
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, both those guys, the success they've had on offense, um,

100
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: you know in places they've been, I think, um, you know,

101
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: that's been been fun to watch and and uh you know,

102
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: it's exciting for all of us to to be a

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: part of that. And and uh, we understand there's a

104
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: lot of work to do, um, you know before we

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: get there, but we're excited of you know, what we

106
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: can be. And I know you last year talked a

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: lot about trying to make more explosive plays, make the

108
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: offense more explosive. Do you see those opportunities and the

109
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: way they're trying to do things and some of the

110
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: improvement in the personnel in front of you where you're

111
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna have more opportunities to make some of those explosive plays.

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I think, um, you know, when

113
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: you talk about creating explosive plays, that's about everyone you know,

114
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: doing their job and not necessarily uh not feeling anything

115
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: you have to do more than their job. And you know,

116
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: if everyone executes and does the right thing, you know,

117
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that's when those opportunities come. So, UM, I think we're

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: in a good position, you know. I think guys have

119
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: come in with the right mindset. Uh. This spring worked

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: hard and um, you know, looking forward to getting back

121
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: at that training camp. So what's the next step then

122
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: when you guys do get back at trading camp at

123
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: the end of July, based on what you've done in

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the spring, what's the next step of progression as you

125
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: kind of delve deeper into this offense. I think it's

126
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: just just uh, you know, continuing to to pile reps

127
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: on top and and uh continuing to to uh work

128
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: through it. You know, I think there's there's a lot,

129
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's a lot to be done, and

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I think just just playing ball,

131
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: practicing playing well, um and getting those reps is the

132
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: most important thing. Now, You've had a lot of moving

133
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: parts in the spring to a lot of the guys

134
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: that might be your number one wide receivers in the

135
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: season have not been on the field as much in

136
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: the spring. Are you looking forward to to getting a

137
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: consistent set of receivers with you in the summer when

138
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: everyone gets back. I am, yeah, I think, uh, you know,

139
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: I think the time on the practice field, you know, together,

140
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: building that chemistry, getting certain looks, um, you know, working

141
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: through everything. I think that's important. So I'm looking forward

142
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: to getting out there with everyone. Daniel, we can't wait

143

00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: moving in and moving out. I've been pretty crazy around here, dude,

156
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: So just trying to get with a couple of realtors

157
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: and make a decision. Very good man. Um, so how

158
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: has it been? Uh? Coming down here were Brian table

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: and being back it must feel kind of different but

160
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: kind of the same. Yeah, it's nice to see you know,

161
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: the cafeteria staff, the training staff, a few guys upstairs

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: in the front office. Um, same custodian. So it's good

163
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: to see those guys. Only three teammates, um we're here.

164
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: When I was here, only three lefts Kwan Chap and

165
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: uh Nick Gates. So there was only three that was with.

166
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: But I met a few guys over the years playing

167
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: um elsewhere. A couple of bills came down and I'm

168
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna play with a few on the Jets. So it's um,

169
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be down here with Dave's and Joe though.

170
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: All right, so give me a feel here without giving

171
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: away state secrets. Obviously you're coming down. You were Brian table,

172
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: but he's not the LC they bring my calfkin. How

173
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: much is identical to what you guys did in Buffalo

174
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: and how much new has been absorbed in from what

175
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Mike brought over from Kansas City. The thing is a

176
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: good combination of both. I mean, obviously the meat is

177
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: probably in Buffalo, but um, there's some serious potatoes there

178
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. They have some great offenses, obviously led

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: by Pat Um, Andy Reid, Mike. I mean, there's been

180
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of good offensive minds over there.

181
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: So it's kind of fun to um learn new about concepts,

182
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: new ways of doing it. And Kafka has done a

183
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: really good job install on it. What has been like

184
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: working with him trying to get this offensive, Um, it's

185
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun. Guys played quarterback in the

186
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: NFL before UM obviously that goes a long way. UM

187
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: it was a good quarterback in the Northwestern UM and

188
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: then having Shade Tyranny in the quarterback room kind of

189
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: running the meetings and then coach Kafka kind of installed

190
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive plays has just been a good uh duo.

191
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: How has it helped having the o C as a

192
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: guy that has played quarterback? You mentioned it's big. How

193
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: is it big? How does it help? I just think

194
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: you can see it from the quarterback's eyes. You know

195
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: of other coaches who have played maybe different positions or

196
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: off the line receiver, et cetera. Um, it's a little

197
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: different perspective when you're calm plays for the quarterback through

198
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: those eyes, and I think that goes a long way. Now.

199
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: The one thing I've noticed, at least watching practice that

200
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: I think is a little bit different. I feel like

201
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: there's maybe a little bit more pre snap motion here

202
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: than what I saw that you guys did up in Buffalo.

203
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: I know towards the end of the year last year

204
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: with some of the design runs, you guys use a

205
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: lot of pre snap motion with that. But is that

206
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: one of the new things that kind of I brought

207
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: in from Kansas City a lot of pre snap stuff

208
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: to get some misdirection. Yeah, I think there'll be some

209
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: shifting motioning. I think we did a lot of it

210
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: last year. UM, if you're not trying to play fast

211
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a good way to kind of keep

212
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: defenses off balance and uh make them communicate a little

213
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: bit more than normal and just lining up and playing it.

214
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna do a good community, a

215
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: good combo of both domes. Your chance to experience a

216
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: premier hospitality experience watching Giants games, world class concerts in

217
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: two as a Giant Sweet partner, limited full season locations

218
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: are available or plays. A deposit for individual games called

219
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: n y is a Giants dot com slash suites for

220
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: more information. How would you describe this offense two Giant

221
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: fans that are looking forward to see it on the field?

222
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: What what? What are some of the basic and prime

223
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: concepts of it? And what are the things you guys

224
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: are trying to accomplish. I think every year it's evolved.

225
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Um So, I think it's it's always adapting. It's it's

226
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: never the same, Like you're not gonna see place from

227
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. You know you're gonna see place, And there's

228
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: a decade and kind of and and continue to evolve,

229
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: and it's always always gonna be a new play each

230
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: and every week. You're gonna see someone across college football

231
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: or high school or in middle school, and if Dave's

232
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: and Kafka like it, they might throw it in next week.

233
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: So it's always um looking to improve, looking to adapt

234
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: and adjust. You talk about that flexibili and adding plays

235
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: week to week. What kind of onnus does that put

236
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: on the players to be able to absorb new stuff weekend,

237
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: week out. Yeah. Part of our culture is having smart, tough,

238
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: and dependable players. That means learning a new offense, learning

239
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: new concepts, and go out there and execute it um

240
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: within the hour of learning it. So I think, um,

241
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: we have some smart guys around here and we're gonna

242
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: continue to get better. Now. A couple of different wide

243
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: receivers have been here and they've explained how complicated the

244
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: playbook can be. I was very thick and just based

245
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: on a couple of words or one word, you have

246
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: to know three or four different things. So what's the

247
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: process Like, it's someone that's been through this in and

248
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: really learned it. For the guys that are absorbing this

249
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: offense for the first time and trying to translate it

250
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: onto the field, Yeah, I mean I had to learn

251
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: five NFL offenses in the first three years of the league.

252
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: So this is my fourth year in this offense, So

253
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: that's that's a positive. Um. Yeah, there's a lot of

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: word association, there's a lot of memorization. That's every offense.

255
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody has um different ways of doing it. Um.

256
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: I like it this way the most. UM. I think

257
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: it can separate guys mentally and just kind of see

258
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: who who's studying and who's getting in their playbook and

259
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: who's executing on the field and who isn't. So I

260
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of guys have done a really good

261
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: job picking it up, working hard at it, and hopefully

262
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: it translates into a good year. How has it been

263
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: working with Daniel and Tyrod to getting them on the

264
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: same page? You know, you mentioned this is your fourth

265
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: year in this offense there first, So how has it

266
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: been trying to get them to the point where you

267
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: are in terms of understanding what They've been working really hard?

268
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: It's a great room. UM. Tyrode with his experience UM

269
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: playing other places and learning multiple systems, he's been unbelievable.

270
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: And then Daniel, you know, has been up and down

271
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to injuries. However, he's healthy right now

272
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: and UM, I think he's gonna have his best year.

273
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in him, and um, he's one

274
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: of the one of the better quarterbacks that ever worked with. Really, well,

275
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: what is it about Daniel that's really impressed you? I

276
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: mean just I think just who he is as a

277
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: person first of all, and he works very very hard. Um,

278
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: he can throw it and he can run. He's very athletic. Um.

279
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, I've had a pleasure of being around a

280
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: lot of good quarterbacks. That'd be Baker Mayfield, Pat Mahomes,

281
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: um Eli Manning, Sam Donald, Josh mccow, Josh Allen, Matt Barkley,

282
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Mr Rubinsky, a lot of good players, and um, he's

283
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: one of them. So he's a he's a good player.

284
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: How about you, what do you hope to to bring

285
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: to the Giants this year? And what kind of progress

286
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: have you made since we left saw you here a

287
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: few years ago. Um, I think being in the same

288
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: offense for a while helps. Um, you know a little

289
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: more athletic. I can run around, but may a little

290
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: bit more and I did back then. Um, But yeah,

291
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: I just kind of looking forward to working hard and

292
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: trying to make the team and go from there. So

293
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: based on final question, based on where this offense has

294
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: to be when the season starts. What do you think

295
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: has been the most important things you guys have accomplished

296
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: here in the spring so you're ready to hit the

297
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: ground running in the summer. I think we're ahead of

298
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: where we thought we were gonna be. So I think, um,

299
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: just kind of installed. I think we've done through eight

300
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: or nine installs, just kind of put a lot on

301
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: guys plates and see how they react. And I think

302
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: guys have done a good job with that. Is have

303
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: you guys done some work on every play in the

304
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: playbook yet? Yeah? I think I'm just the way they're

305
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: installing it and the way we're trying to build this thing.

306
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: I think we're at a really good pace, and I

307
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 1: think training camp is gonna be another huge step, and

308
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: then once again the preseason we'll have a pretty good

309
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: idea of what we're gonna be able to do. I

310
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: was talking to one of the wide receivers and they

311
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: brought up how maybe the route concepts aren't as you know,

312
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: specific and pen to paper to field, How there's some

313
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: more flexibility to read the dB and doing stuff. Are

314
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: there more like option style routes in this where you

315
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: can adjust what you're doing based on what the defense

316
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: is showing you. Yeah, I think the biggest thing is

317
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: you don't play football on paper, like you can draw

318
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: straight lines and everything like that, but there's a corner

319
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: they're pressing you up and it's gonna knock you off

320
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: your straight lines. So, um that those lines and those

321
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: playbooks are kind of um misleading. Um they're starting point.

322
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: How about that. I don't even know if it's that.

323
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm very very against lines on paper. It's much better

324
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: off just watching the tape and kind of seeing real

325
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: life football. So I think, um, Dave's and then have

326
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: a really good job of understanding that over the years.

327
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: I understand that concepts and plays are not drawn on

328
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: paper and trying to be flexible, but have rules within that.

329
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: And that's why concepts are so important. To think about concepts, Right,

330
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: So if they're showing you this, then you do that,

331
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: and I go to imagine, then having the wide receivers

332
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: in the quarterback on the same page has got to

333
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: be just so important to make this thing work. Yeah,

334
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: that's when this offense has been as its best is

335
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: whenever those guys are are working. Um, in unison, I

336
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: think we're off to a good start. David, It's good

337
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: to see him man. Always a pleasure. Davis Webb, appreciate
