1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: We're going in a season where the teams are going 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: to be traveling. Now you're gonna be playing guys who 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: you know are obviously in other cities, uh, staying in 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: hotels on airplanes. How safe do you feel now that 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: all these new variables are being introduced? Um? Yeah, obviously, 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: you know that's that's gonna be a challenge, that's gonna 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: resent it. But um one thing you can worry about 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: is yourself and this team. And I think we've been 9 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: doing a great job here in the facility. I think 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: the Giants um, from from top to bottom, has been 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: doing a great job to keeping the safe. Um. I 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: think that's showing up in our testing, and I think 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: I think the league's been doing well too. So, UM, yes, 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a challenge, but I think everyone do 15 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: understand how um serious this thing is going on the 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: world and we want to protect each other and continue 17 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: to play the game that we left. You know, you've 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to be here for this whole offseason 19 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: with this coaching staff and the last two years. Obviously 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: what nine wins total, but what gives you optimism now 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: that you're heading into the season that this franchise is 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. UM. Just just just a 23 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: new start. It's a new year. UM, everything's undetermined. We 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: get a chance to go out there UM and be 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: be a new team. We just go to new season. 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,639 Speaker 1: And I think we worked really hard UM this off season. 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: I think it starts with that. UM. I think we'll 28 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: go hopefully be able to become a more disciplined team 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: UM from unknowned situations of how we've been coached this year, 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: and hopefully we can go out there and take up 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: all the things that we happened in practice and going camp, 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: from the hard work, from the coaching, from the situational 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: football UM, understanding UM the game a little bit more 34 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: to hopefully we can take all of that that we 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: learned from the camp UM and take it into the 36 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: season and hopefully start the season right. One another quick one. 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: I know last week we we taught our last time 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: that maybe it wasn't even last time, it's two times ago. 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: We talked to you and you said somebody asked you 40 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: about possibly boycotting games and said you'll you'll go back 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: and you'll talk to the team about it. I'm just 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: curious if you decided what you're gonna do on game 43 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: day and not just really boycott, but however you're gonna 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: show you know what, every yeah, whatever, whatever, however you're 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna approach it. Yeah, I got you. Um, Yeah, that's 46 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: I think that's a conversation that's probably gonna be had 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: during this week. UM. Obviously, you know a lot of 48 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: guys came out here and we all put our hard 49 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: work in and um, but the nature of the game 50 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: is if you got to get to a certain number. UM. 51 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: So I think obviously when we when we get to 52 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: a certain number, we'll have discussions again, open up, open discussions, 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: have dialogue within the team, UM, and see what we 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: won't be able to do. Um. You know, I think 55 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: we've been doing a great job. You know, we've been 56 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: doing our team the team. But how far can we 57 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: take it? What's another level you can take it to? 58 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: And UM, I know that it's not just only me 59 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: saying that. Fel like we we are passionate about that, 60 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: not just only other team, but organization and hopefully we 61 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: can continue, uh, you know, try to do the right 62 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: things like one you guys haven't had You guys haven't 63 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: had an offseason game yet, you haven't played against the 64 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: Love team. How how can you tell if you're ready 65 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a week and a half? Um? 66 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: Me personally, I mean, I really I haven't been going 67 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 1: that much in preseason. Uh you know my really first 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: live actions been Week one to be could be honest. Um. 69 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: But as a team, I think even though we haven't 70 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: we haven't faced any other teams. I think, UM, from 71 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the coaches staff, they did a really good job's camp 72 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: assimilating what it's actually going to be like, um, you know, 73 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: and I think that that's why, you know, like I 74 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: see what you guys say about practice, how it's hard, 75 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: this and that in the third but um my, thank yous. 76 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I think it's been a really good job for us 77 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: because we needed that. Um. Like you said, the preseason 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: is not a way. I think we also did a 79 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: really good job of giving God's opportunity to chances to show, uh, 80 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: you know, what we're able to do and were to 81 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: bring to the table. Um, and also prepared us and 82 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: get ready for it for the first game of the year. 83 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Just curious. I mean, I don't know if the right 84 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: word is overlooked or forgotten, But you're not ninety one 85 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: catch us as a rookie, and it seems like two 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: years later everyone's talking about how much you can tap 87 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: into your potential as a receiver. Um forgetting the catches, 88 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: But how much more do you think is in your game? 89 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: From that perspective, I know you've trained, you've trained a 90 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: lot on it, not just now but in the past. Um, 91 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: So your thoughts as a receiver? What what you can 92 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: do in this league? Um? You know, I think obviously 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: we we have a you know, a great coaching staff 94 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna putterers in the right positions, and um, 95 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, the opportunities that I do have to have 96 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: an impact in the game in the past game I 97 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: have to take advantage of. But that's something I always say, 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: I always improve in my game, and that's something I 99 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 1: really focused on, not this year, but every year. Um. 100 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: You can't put pads on and hit and tackle during 101 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: the off season. So most of my off season consists of, uh, 102 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: you know, high volume with running and working on my 103 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: speed and in the weight room. But when it comes 104 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: to football, really don't even like I really can do Obviously, 105 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: what come my football guys are running back, but it's 106 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: run route, So whether it's uh, you meet up with 107 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, the local pro quarterback and then in the 108 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: city of Urn, or you meet up with DJ and 109 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: those guys who run routes, and um, you know, I 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: think I have a great group of m serious here 111 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: from Golden to Chef Evans slaying so on and so 112 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: on and when all season and be able to watch 113 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: those guys how the run eltse and and learn from 114 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: them and to be able to add it to my 115 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: game for like that that's something that I hope I'm 116 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: able to show this year. Um. But yeah, so you 117 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: still do take a lot of takes enough time in 118 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: the off season where you're working on that part of game, 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: especially in those circumstances, Sir, I do
