Speaker 3: For you in this organization that that's not like hovering

Speaker 3: over his strangking.

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

6
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're obviously thrilled to thrilled to have him back.

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 4: You know, it was a tough, tough situation for him,

8
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 4: and I'm glad, glad we got it worked out. But

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 4: you know, he's an incredible leader on this team. He's

10
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 4: an incredible player and means so much too, uh to

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 4: this group. So yeah, it's huge to get him back.

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: What do you expect from him this season?

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 4: I mean I expect, uh, I expect him to be himself.

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 4: I think you know, he works his tail off, he

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: prepares hard and and uh you know that shows up

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: on the field. So you saw it last year and

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 4: how well he played and how big he was for

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 4: us throughout the whole season. So you know, we can

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: use him in a lot of different ways. He's a

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: dynamic player and that's certainly, uh what we expect.

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: If you missed having him around, I mean he wasn't

22
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: around all spring.

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean certainly, like I said, he's a

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 4: he's a leader on this team. He's a influential guy

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: and and uh someone who sets the standard and sets

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: the example of what what it's supposed to look like.

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's awesome to have him back.

28
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: That deadline passed last week and then you get to

29
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: this week and he's here for the first day of training. Hip,

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: How surprising was that to you that it kind of

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: worked out that way?

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think, I don't know, I don't know,

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: surprising and not surprising, but I'm just just happy it

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: worked out. I think I'm certainly glad to get that news, uh,

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: you know, before the first day. And like I said,

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: it's great to have him, you.

37
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: Know, and just here and said he feels like he has.

38
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: To live up to his contract, that he has to.

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: He wants to prove he's the best, you know, worthy

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: of being the highest paid left tackle.

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you have to live up to

42
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: your contract now or not to change his?

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: I think there's always expectations, and there's always, uh, you know,

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 4: there's responsibility playing uh playing playing in any position, and

45
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: certainly playing quarterback to uh put the team in a

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: position to win games, and and uh you know that

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: that's always been my uh the way I've approached it.

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 4: You know, I've always put pressure on myself to perform,

49
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: and I have high expectations of myself, so I expect

50
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: others to have that also.

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Daniel, what do you think of the organization committing to

52
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: a bunch of you guys and having a core now

53
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: going forward that's here for a long time.

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. Yeah, we've got a number of.

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: Players who are now you know, been here for a

56
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: few years and understand, uh what it means to be

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: a New York Giant and then you know what it

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: means to to play for for coach day Ball and

59
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: his system and what he wants, uh kind of the

60
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: culture and the field and the locker room to be.

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, we've got a great group of leaders, great

62
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: group of young guys who who know what that is

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: and and uh who embody that and really you know

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: take to that every day.

65

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: you know who's gonna stick around?

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Who wasn't?

68
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: Are you surprised at how quickly that core has been

69
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: sort of stabilized.

70
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: And moving forward. I don't, Yeah, I don't know if

71
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm surprised.

72
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: I think, like I said, we got a lot of

73
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of really good dudes, a

74

00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: it's fun to be in a locker room like that.

77
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: It's fun to be with a group of guys working together. Uh,

78

Speaker 4: you know, guys who who do all the all the

79
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: right things. So I don't know if I'm surprised, but

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: we're we're looking forward to to get into work and

81
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, kind of standing right here in

82
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: training camp right.

83
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: Now, how happy are you that Andrew Thomas has signed.

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,280

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: he's a tremendous player. He goes about it the right way,

88
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: he works his tail off, he's uh, he's prepared, super smart,

89
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: knows exactly what to do, and then you know, brings

90
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: other guys along with him. So, uh, he's a huge

91
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 4: part of this offense, huge part of this team. And uh, yeah,

92
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: I'm I'm extremely excited for him.

93
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: Daniel.

94
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: Knowing what you know about the offense, and what has

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,559
Speaker 3: your most excited about.

96
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: What's to common? I think just continuing to evolve and

97
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: grow and learning what uh, what we're good at and

98
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 4: what this group uh can do and and uh, you know,

99
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: I think that's the strength of Dave's and Kafka and

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 4: the whole offensive staff is kind of how they put

101
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: the pieces together and accentuate the strengths of our guys.

102
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: So we'll continue to.

103
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 4: Work that through through camp, and you know, every day

104
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: will be will be different, and and you know, we'll

00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: look forward to taking a step.

00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Every days training camp. First day of training camp and

107
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: you're just scrambled, Drew and you have SA side behind

108
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: there and you take up the sideline And how is

109
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: there an excitement even in the first day of training

110
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: camp when you connecting on something like that?

111
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

112
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, it was a great play he made there

113
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: on the sideline. And and you know he has the

114
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 4: ability to do that those things and make plays in

115
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 4: the past game, you know, obviously as a as a runner,

116
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 4: but but also in the past game, and uh, yeah,

117
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: he makes a difference when he's out there. He makes

118
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: a difference with his play and then you know how

119
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: it feels and and his uh, you know, his leadership,

120
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: his communication and bringing guys along.

121
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: So great to have him out there running back position

122
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: to have been to devalue in your view around.

123
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: The league, I don't know.

124
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 4: I think that's a that's probably a question for the

125
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: for the experts on espnse developed an identity.

126
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: Do you feel yet or is it still progress?

127
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: I think yeah, I think it's very much a work

128
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: in progress. I think we're on the first day of

129
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: training camp and we've got a lot of work to

130
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: do throughout training camp and you know, before we get there.

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: But we're gonna take it day by day and kind

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: of focus on what's immediately in front of us and

133
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: try to improve as.

134
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Much as we can.

135
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: It was a long tough negotiations for Saquin.

136
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, that's been portrayed a lot of different ways.

137
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: He didn't like some of that said, he didn't like

138
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: the idea that he was being portrayed as greedy. What

139
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: have you noticed from his demeanor when he's been here.

140
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I think he's been himself.

141
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: You know, he's uh, he's excited to be here, he's

142
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 4: come to work.

143
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: He's the same leader, the same presence.

144
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: In the locker room, and I think that speaks to

145
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: him as a guy, his character, his professionalism and just

146
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 4: you know who he is, how important you know, the

147
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: team is to him, and he understands his role on

148
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: it and how impactful he can be on other guys.

149
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: Have you noticed the difference in your confidence coming into

150
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: year two when having more grasps but this system, even

151
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: though she is day one, but all throughout spring, Yeah,

152
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: I mean I think, uh, you know, it's it's you know,

153
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: nice not to be learning, you know, completely new at

154
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: this point and and uh you know, we're we're picking

155
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: up from things we uh started with in the spring,

156
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: and we'll continue to build off of it, but we're

157
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: always learning and growing and kind of evolving the offense,

158
