1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Brian, how are you, Paul, how you doing good?

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 2: Good?

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 3: Any any further the clarity on what your plan is

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 3: going to be for Saturday in Buffalo.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Now, we're we're focused on us right now. We'll get

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: to Buffalo later in the week, so we'll talk about

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: it as a coaching staff, and you don't do what

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: we think is best.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: Can can you talk about the things you've done this

10
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: spring and summer. You know you've made some changes as

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: far as changing some of the things you've done in practices,

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: the OTAs, maybe more seven on sevens, and what was

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: the reasoning behind some of like you know, doing more

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 3: of certain things and maybe less of certain other things.

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think every year is a new year. So

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: we've done that every year we've been here. Try to

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: make changes if we think it's going to help us,

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: whether it's the medical department, practice fields, scheme, reps, pads,

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: no paths, seven on seven, one on ones, less one

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: on ones, something we talk about you know, the off

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: season and then leading into OTAs. We constantly have communication

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Paul after every practice. We do that here, so these

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: things might change. You have a rough format of what

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna do and talk about and then you know,

25
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: as as camp goes on or you need more things.

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: You need to see different pressures, you need to see

27
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: different motions from the defensive side of it. We need

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: more one on one work. We need a red zone work,

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: and we lay out a plan and then we evaluate

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: it every day and how much or.

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: Any of that. One last thing is it was geared

32
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: to hoping that you can get off to a faster start,

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: which has not been the case the last two years.

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we we do that every year. So

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, the going through it and going through the

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: structure and the process is important. Most important thing is

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: going out there and executing and doing it.

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 4: Yep.

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: That maybe thanks for doing this right.

40
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: With JMS, I think he's taken every rep first team center.

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm curious why that is because he's, you know, analytically,

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: he struggled a little bit his first two years here.

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 2: Have you thought about using anybody else as a center

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: and you know, challenging him a little bit, putting maybe

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: a position battle like you have at some of the

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: other spots.

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, confident in JMS. He's grown since we've been here.

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: Does a good job of setting the table. There's a

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: lot of things on the center's plate, and steadily he

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: has improved, and I think he's in a good spot.

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: So feel comfortable with JMS and confident in him.

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: You mentioned that he's done a good job setting the table,

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: and then there's a lot of things on the center's plate.

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: That's all the other stuff. How about Brian, I think,

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: just objectively football watching, people think he struggles with power

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: rushers or bull rushes. Anything you've seen from him to

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: say that, you know that's not the case anymore, or

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: may put on some strength or anything like that from

60
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: a actual blocking standpoint, not just reading the defense.

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you have to be able to do both. Ryan,

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: So that's why we feel comfortable with him in there.

63
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: I think he's improved every year he's been here. He's

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: had a good training camp, and I'm confident in JMUS.

65
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: And then the other guy I wanted to ask about

66
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: is Slayton. You don't care about stuff like this, but

67
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: fans do. He's moving all up the Giants record book

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: this year. He'll pass a lot of big names. Just

69
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: can you talk to a degree about the consistency he's

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: provided through what's been kind of a roller code. You know,

71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: if I think back to when you first got here

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: and he took a pay cut and he almost lost

73
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: his job, and then he's re signed with you guys twice.

74
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: I mean, kind of guy who's ridden the roller coaster

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: and now here he is, could be, you know, when

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: it's all said and done, could be one of the

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Giants leading receivers. Ever.

78
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Slayton is an excellent teammate and he's been that

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: way since since I've been here. He's been productive in

80
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: the things that we've asked him to do. He's he's

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: an excellent leader, and I know people maybe not see it,

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: but from behind the scenes, and i'd say particularly this year,

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: he's been vocal, very good communicator, sets the standard on

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: how we should practice. And you know that's why we

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: wanted him back. I'm glad he signed both times back.

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: He's an excellent teammate and he's productive and you know

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: it is craft. So he's a good veteran to have

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: on this football team. Hasn't always been easy for him.

89
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: He's had some rocky times and he's kind of always persevered.

90
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: This guy's always persevered. When you know, I know the

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: first year I got here, how it started out, and

92
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: then he just kept on grinding and grinding, and you

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: have an appreciation for people like that that are able to,

94
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, weather storms and overcome things and then you know,

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: look pretty good at it coming out from the backside.

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: So he's been he's been an excellent, excellent teammate. I

97
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: love coaching him, and I'm very impressed with how he's

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: taken another step in his leadership, particularly the communication. And

99
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's times he's got up in front of

100
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: the room and talked to the entire team and did

101
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: one hell of a job. So the most important thing

102
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: he knows is playing well. But he's available, he's out there,

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: he practices, he's smart, he knows every position you could

104
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: know on offense in terms of the skill guys, you know,

105
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: he's glad we got him. Thank you, ye deep.

106
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: Why know, hey, Brian, a bunch of players have said,

107
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: you guys might have the best D line of the

108
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: best pass rush in the NFL, and then you have

109
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: Getta Lawrence and Brian Burne saying and repeating to their teammates,

110
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 5: we haven't proven anything yet. What does this say about

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 5: those guys as veterans, that that's their mentality of wanting

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: to prove themselves even with the kind of a hype

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: going on.

114
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, hype doesn't get you anywhere. You know,

115
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: action does. So whatever people think or they say, good

116
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: or bad, you know, the only thing that really matters

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: is how we go about our business and ultimately producing

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: when it matters for all of us. So that's you know,

119
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: that's our mantra, that's our mindset, is to just come

120
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: in here, work hard, be prepared, and you know, go

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: out there and coach our best, play our best when

122
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: it matters. And you know, this this group or that

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: group like that doesn't really have any effect on how

124
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: you play. What has effect on how you play is

125
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: your preparation and your process and then ultimately on game

126
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: day going out there and doing it. So, you know,

127
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: let's talk more doing.

128
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: And I don't even ask a.

129
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: Lot about Bill Carter, but having him and cave On

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: and all the kind of moving pieces, what does that

131
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: do for Shane and the coaching staff with the various

132
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: things you might be able to do with that pass

133
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: rush on the line?

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think time will tell. So right now, we're

135
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, in training camp and we're trying to improve

136
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: and you know, every area we can pass, rush, stop

137
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: the run, run, game protection, special teams. You know, that's

138
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do right now. You know where

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Abdual fits or came out, like, you know, you have

140
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: pieces and you have to go out there and do it.

141
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: So I just think going out there and practicing well

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: and doing things you need to do to be as

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: good as we can be, all of us, the entire organization,

144
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: that's where we need to be at.

145
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, We'll take two more.

146
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 6: Dan Tuggan, Hey, Brian, I know you said you're not

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 6: gonna you don't have a plan yet for playing time

148
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 6: on on Saturday. But one to ask a philosophical question.

149
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 6: I mean, the downside of playing the preseason and it

150
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: seems obvious just injury, but what's the upside for guys

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 6: who are establishing. You always have about like you know,

152
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: fringe players or young players that might help, but like

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 6: for Russell Wilson and Elie Neighbors guys, so you know

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 6: what they could do in this league. What is the

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 6: benefit in your opinion of playing guys like that in

156
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: the preseason.

157
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: I think it's different for every team, Dan, I've done

158
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: a lot of research in terms of teams the last

159
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: few years and coaches veteran coaches and what they've done

160
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: and go back to you know, when I work for

161
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: some people that you know have pretty good success and

162
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: how we did it. I don't think there's one right formula.

163
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Play them, not play him. I think you need to

164
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: do what's best for your football team. So is it

165
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: a series, is a two series? Is it a half?

166
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: Is it? Like?

167
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: You talk about that as a staff as we get

168
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: going take a look at the practices that we've had.

169
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: There's no substitute for playing the game. You have to tackle.

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: You don't do a whole lot. You know, some people

171
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: do some live tackling, but it's not much. There's no

172
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: substitute for a quarterback when he knows he can get hit.

173
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: There's no substitute for an offensive guard cleaning the pocket

174
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: or being very physical in the run game and gang

175
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: tackling like there's no that's that's the game of football.

176
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: So you try to balance that with what you think

177
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: is best for the football team. You're always going to

178
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: have injury risk practice, You have injury risk. But you know,

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: we'll sit down and you know, do we think is

180
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: best for our football team that's playing it's playing. If

181
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: it's not playing as much, it's not playing as much.

182
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: But you know, we've got a good camp to this point.

183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I think we've got a lot accomplished. It's been a

184
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: physical camp and we'll continue to be you know, have

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: a physical camp here. Lean up through the first first games, yep,

186
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: last one.

187
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: Patty trainer, Hey, Brian, how.

188
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Are you hi, Patty? How are you?

189
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm good?

190
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: Thank you. Just piggybacking off of with Dan asked, how

191
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: do you balance getting you know, your starter's work if

192
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: they need to get work, versus evaluating all the young

193
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: guys that you probably want to see in game reps?

194
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Well, that starts at to start a training camp when

195
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: you're deciding how many reps quote unquote the ones are

196
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: getting or two's or the young guys are getting, and

197
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: then you see how many reps you have throughout training

198
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: camp with the play that you know you need to

199
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: get more looks at maybe or put them maybe with

200
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: the ones if the ones are playing and you don't

201
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: know what the other team is going to do either,

202
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, you try to keep it as competitive as

203
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: you can in practice with you know, call it the

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: first team practice and against the first team. So you know,

205
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: skillful guys, you know, veterans that do it for a

206
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: while with maybe some of the younger guys that are

207
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: just learning how to practice and have a different skill set.

208
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: You try to practice them the best you can and

209
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: if they earn spot to move up, you do that.

210
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: But in terms of the preseason games, again, we'll just

211
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: we'll we'll look at everything holistically in terms of what

212
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: we've done so far and then do what we think

213
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: is right.

214
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 4: But I just squeeze one more in. Please sure, I've noticed,

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: like at camp, with Mike calling the plays, that's kind

216
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 4: of allowed you to be more of a for a

217
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: lack of a better term, a butterfly. You've been going

218
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 4: from group to group to group, and I'm just wondering,

219
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: you know, have you noticed or felt a difference with

220
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: Mike calling the plays on offense? Has that kind of

221
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: liberated you get you know, refocused your time a little bit,

222
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 4: made you feel better about you know, getting to each group.

223
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, it's it's you know, the first couple of

224
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: years I did that. Last year, I you know, kind

225
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: of handled scripts and things like that. Mike's done a

226
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: fantastic job. We all worked together like we have since

227
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: we've been here. But yeah, I'm pretty active in every

228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: area which I need to be, and I'll continue to

229
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: do that
