Let's start, Hey, 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: coach of the Giants, Pat Shermer, he spoke to the 13 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: media on Wednesday about the Giants change a quarterback. Obviously, 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: the topic of conversation yesterday was the quarterback switch. Um, 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, I talked to all the parties involved yesterday morning, 16 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: and then he quickly got back to work and did 17 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: Monday things, Um, excuse me, Tuesday things where they were 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: getting ready for the week, and so we have a 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: switch and rolls. But it should come as no surprise 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: to anybody that That's been a great relationship since the 21 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,839 Speaker 1: day we drafted Daniel. They've both helped each other. They're 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: both preparing to play if they have to play, and 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: they both assist each other whoever the one is playing. 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we can expect from Eli. Uh. 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: You know when you're when you're talking about um people 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: and emotions and those conversations. I'm gonna keep that between 27 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: me certainly, an Eli, Um, you can go back on 28 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: any pressure I've done, and you know, find the words 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: that I've said about him all along and that hasn't changed. 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. Daniels our starter, uh, Eli 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: will back them up and we're moving forward. So with that, 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: I'll take your questions. Daniel Jones is the better quarterback 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: right now? Daniel Jones is ready to play and we're 34 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: going with him. Yes. And the reason I say that 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: is because we do everything we can to win football 36 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: games and at this point we feel like he's the 37 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: guy we want to move forward with. Did you them 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: to that decision? And what what? What? What did you 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: factor into I've been thinking about all this, you know, 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: I think about all this stuff all the time. But 41 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: when the game was over, you know, and again it's 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: it's not all about Eli. It's about there. There's other 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: factors involved, you know, our team, where we're at and 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: moving forward. But you know, certainly the most of the 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: thought for me, um happened after the game. What makes 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: now the right time? Because there's certainly a school about 47 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: that if you brought Eli Manning back, and you paid 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: Eli Manning give me the starting quarterback, that two games 49 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: isn't enough of a window type. You know what I 50 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: don't I don't see that. I don't understand that narrative, 51 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: because you know, Daniel Jones is going to have the 52 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: benefit of to start here fourteen games of a guy 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: that's done it. I mean, this guy is what a 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: giant exemplifies, not only as a player but as a person, 55 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: and he's going to have the benefit of this guy's 56 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: assistance as we go through it. So my gut told 57 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: me it was the right time. But that narrative that 58 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you don't bring Eli back, you know, I think that's 59 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: just something for us all to talk about. Who had 60 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: to sign off from them on this decision. Well, I 61 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: certainly made the decision, and I had the conversation with 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: all the parties involved um and at some point they 63 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: said are you sure? And I said, yeah, I'm sure. 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: Dave and John absolutely you don't. You don't do these 65 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: things without talking to the people that you just mentioned 66 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: and Steve and and so on. Do you believe that 67 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: the that the move could jump start this football team? Listen, 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: we're trying to win a football game, and we feel 69 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: like along the way here, Daniel Jones has showed us 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: that when he gets his opportunities, gonna play well. And 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: that's what that's where we're at. Obviously, you gotts drafted 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: him six, so you you liked them a lot, But 73 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: did anything you do from the day you drafted him 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: until I guess yesterday in your mind say you know what, 75 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: this is faster that he's more ready than maybe I 76 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: thought that, you know, we can put him in week 77 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: three as opposed to you know, waiting longer. Well, we're 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna see. I mean, he's gonna play in his first 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: regular season game Sunday against Tampa at four o'clock, and 80 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: so we'll see. But to this point, I think it's 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: safe to say in our minds, he's checked off all 82 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: the boxes and everything that we've asked him to do. Um, 83 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: and so we'll get him ready to play, put a 84 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: plan together that he can utilize, and we'll go to work. 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: The best quarterback gave you the best chance to win. 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: You said that all summer, you said that. Right now 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: you think Daniel was that guy? Um? What changed from 88 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: you know, Week four, the preseason two Tuesday that Jones 89 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: jumped Eli? What did you see that made this? I 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: think it's just was my gut that was time to 91 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: make that move. I think when you draft a guy 92 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: like you know, when you draft a guy like we 93 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: did at some point and that was part you know, 94 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: that was part of my conversation. At some point this 95 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: was gonna happen, and I just felt like this was 96 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the time expect Eli to be with this organization through 97 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: the end of the season. There have been some speculation 98 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: and maybe he would. What are your thoughts on Based 99 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: on what I heard yesterday and based on what I 100 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: saw today, he's doing everything in his power to be 101 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: ready to play if he has to go in, and 102 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: he's doing everything in his power to help Daniel get 103 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: get ready. And I don't foresee anything that would make 104 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: me think he won't be here. Usually when the team 105 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: goes to a younger quarterback, they try to trim the 106 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: play up a little bit. In this case, this Daniel 107 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: will open up things that maybe you weren't able to 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: touch with because no, I think there's certain plays and again, 109 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: you you try to run plays against the team you're 110 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: gonna face. Um, you know, we did some things against 111 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo that we weren't be able to We didn't take 112 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: full advantage of that would have helped us win that 113 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: football game. Um, every play that goes in, you know, 114 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback that's running that play has a little different 115 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: interpretation of it and his eyes will go somewhere place, 116 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: sometimes slower quicker than others. And so uh, to answer 117 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: your question, he's got the ability to run our full 118 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: offense pretty much the same. Yeah, I mean it should 119 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: look the same. I mean schematically, I'll let the changes 120 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: in tactics revealed themselves, so to speak. Um, but we 121 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: want to get more we want to want to score 122 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: more points, and I think that's what we're looking for 123 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: looking for We're looking for better results. If that's sir, 124 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: had I understand your day to day, week to week, 125 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: you're the head coach of this football team. But in 126 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: terms of speaking with Eli yesterday. Were you at all 127 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: struck by the weightiness of that moment of what he 128 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: has been here, what he has represented here, and that 129 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: he may have taken his final snap at least as 130 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: a starting quarterback for this organization. Yeah, I'm well aware 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: of all that, and you know, but those were you know, 132 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: we were two guys talking. They had a good relationship, 133 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, and I think you know, I've said it 134 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: all along. You know, he lies closer to forty than 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: he is twenty, you know. Um, And so that's how 136 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: it all started. I sort of knew what I wanted 137 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: to say when he walked in yesterday morning, but it 138 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: kind of changed on the you know, changed on the 139 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: run for me because just the naturalness of two people 140 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 1: talking and he quickly left and got to work doing 141 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: Tuesday things and so, um, that's just the way it goes. 142 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: More emotional than you during the conversation, I think it 143 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: was equal. You've also said that in test that you 144 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: thought he had years remaining. Um, has anything you've seen 145 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: these first two weeks changed your thought on if he 146 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: does stud he wants to play, how long he can play? Yeah, 147 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: I think he can play in this league. But you know, 148 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: as as i've as as I did yesterday. We're making 149 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: a change here for us moving forward. Other things that 150 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: you have seen in practice, you know, we don't get 151 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: the benefit of seen practice now and from you and 152 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: your coaches eyes see from Daniel that convinces you that 153 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: he can make this transition, absolutely, because the bulk of 154 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: his work, in our eyes, happens behind the scenes, just 155 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: like the bulk of all of our work happens behind 156 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: the scenes. You know. You know, when I walked to 157 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: the stadium at whatever time on Sunday, right, I don't 158 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, two hours or three 159 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: hours before the game. I was still here at the 160 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: building at five thirty drinking coffee. So that's just an 161 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: example of what we do is really behind the scenes. 162 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we are um doing as 163 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: coaches and as players, and then we evaluate it. We 164 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: put the guys out there and we go play. Do 165 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: you think do you think having Ely on the headsets 166 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: in Tampa on Sunday? You know, with you and you 167 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: know helping Daniel will be a uniquely um different advantage 168 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: because not many sixteen year quarterbacks are on the headsets 169 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: and regular season games like that we've started last week. Yeah, 170 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: I think it's it's terrific. Um. I'm trying to answer 171 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: your question because I don't see the awkwardness to that 172 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: or the advantage of the disadvantage I see here, here's 173 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: a guy that knows what he's doing, knows our offense, 174 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: and if we have one ankle injuries in there, so 175 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of and then when Daniel comes off, 176 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: they're going to discuss what's happened as we move forward, 177 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: just like we would normally do. He can give a 178 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: different perspective than Alex Tanney, both equally as good. I've 179 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: always been conscious of the locker room absolutely what kind 180 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: of message you said did you separate from the quarterbacks? 181 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: Have to talk to the team in generalist to why 182 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: you were making the move, and can you share with 183 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: with us why you assume you were confident that they 184 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: would embrace Daniel the same way they embraced In some 185 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: ways this decision was separate, but in many ways it 186 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: was connected. And and the reason I say that is 187 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: we're all connected and what happens, and we haven't done 188 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: anything well enough to win the first two games, so 189 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: they're well aware of the fact that everybody in the 190 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: room has to do what they do better. So yes, 191 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: I did have that conversation with them. You feel like 192 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: this team believes the same as you do, that you 193 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: are moving forward with Daniel to win a football game. 194 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: That this isn't throwing up a flag and saying we're 195 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: on to absolutely I again, that's that's that's a narrative 196 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: that I don't understand. You know, we're onto playing Tampa Bay. 197 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to steal somebody else's face, but we're 198 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: onto playing Tampa Bay and that's where our focus is 199 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: in the two thousand nineteen season, that's where we're at. 200 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: We all realize there's a lot of football left to play, 201 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: and you can see the uncertainty that a team faces 202 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: each week, and you know, a little juice you win 203 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: a football game. Who knows what's going to happen and 204 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: what you The notion that that some of your form 205 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: something this organization's former players have raised, at least that 206 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: ELI is being scapegoated for problems in the first two 207 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: games that really weren't useful for the defense. We've had shortcomings, 208 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: that you were short at receiver. What do you say 209 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: to the notion that this is an scapegoad. Well, I 210 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: think I just answered that notion when I when I talked, 211 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: when I spoke to Art's question, that none of us 212 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: have done what we need to do to win two games. 213 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: So that's what I would say about that notion. I 214 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: don't believe in the scapegoat thing. Put that was halftime adjustments. 215 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: You adjust as you go. How difficult did Daniel make 216 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: the decision going into the regular season, because obviously what 217 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: he did in the preseason. Was there ever a thought 218 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: that you know, this kid is ready now or what 219 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: did you just have to see something in the first 220 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Well, I'm just gonna go back to 221 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: what I said all along, and I believe my words, 222 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: and some folks didn't that Eli was our starter and 223 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: we were moving forward getting Daniel ready to play. And 224 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: that's how that's how we are of the year, with 225 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: the idea that we were going to go out and 226 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: win our first two games. It's just that simple. By now, 227 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: everybody should understand. I try to keep these kind of 228 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: things simple. I think trying to confuse the issues here 229 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: is you know, not good. What should the fans expect 230 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: from Daniel Jones in your mind. He's a young competitive 231 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: guy that's going to fight, and I think he's going 232 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: to display the toughness, the skill and ability that that 233 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:35,359 Speaker 1: we saw when we drafted him. Significant changes, your significant changes, um, 234 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: not that, not that I know of, um, UM generally speaking? Yeah, 235 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: what were the qualities or was there a moment where 236 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: it clicked for you when you told us Daniel is ready? 237 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: What did he do that then tipped you to the 238 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: point where you said, hey, when we need him, he 239 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: can go. What did he do had we needed him 240 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: in the first two games, he could have gone. So 241 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: I feel like he's ready to go, and everybody around 242 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: him is gonna do what they can to support his efforts. 243 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: It's Monday, did you know? But out of respect for 244 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: the principles, you didn't tell us Monday because Tuesday had 245 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: become with the conversations. You know, this is this is 246 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: about respect too, you know, I think and I hold 247 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: this organization in high regard, and we're always about respect. 248 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: And so where we were we frowned sometimes is when um, 249 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna find a way to start winning 250 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: games right and and earn the respect of winning. But 251 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: behind the scenes were about respect and so I wanted 252 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: to make sure I went through this process the right way. 253 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm gonna hang on that word. That's giants, 254 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: say coach Pat Charmer. Now. Daniel Jones, who faced the 255 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: media later in the day, got the news if you 256 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: starting on Sunday, Um, you know, I was. I was excited. 257 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: I think, you know, certainly, um excited for the opportunity. 258 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: Um you know, coach coach called me up to his office. 259 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: We we had that conversation and and uh you know, 260 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: obviously uh a unique circumstance and and um you know, 261 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: but but excited for the opportunity, ready for the opportunity.

I'm certainly aware 327 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: of that, you know what. What you know, all I 328 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: can do is prepare um as hard as I possibly can. 329 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: And that's what I'll do. I think, UM, you know, 330 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: I've gotten some sense of that in the preseason, and 331 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: certainly it will be UM you know, it'll be elevated 332 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: during during the regular season. So all I can do 333 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: this week is making sure UM you know, I'm prepared, 334 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: the team is prepared, and and UM I do I 335 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: do all I possibly can. The responsibility of being the 336 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the New York Giants. Do you look 337 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: at that in anyways something daunting or do you feel 338 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: you're ready to embrace it. I feel like I'm ready 339 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: to embrace it. I think, um, you know, I think 340 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: focusing on on what we're doing here, focusing on what 341 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: we're doing in the building and our preparation, um, you know, 342 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: with my teammates, with my coaches, I think, um, you know, 343 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of uh naring that focus to to uh to 344 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: be in here in the moment and and uh in 345 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: in the uh you know, this week. I think it 346 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: is is important with that, so um you know, certainly, 347 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: uh you know, feel like I I can embrace that 348 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: and looking forward to the opportunity. One of the reason 349 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: the Giants drafted do is because they thought you could 350 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: handle this moment and the pressure that comes with playing, 351 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, failing, trying to bounce back in the New 352 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: York market with a restless fan base. So as you 353 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: have observed that from the sideline the last couple of games, 354 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: how it goes in this market? What do you make 355 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: of it? How do you feel like you're going to 356 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 1: be able to handle the ups and downs? Um? I 357 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: think Uh, you know, a similar um approach to Bruce's question. 358 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think just focusing on what we're doing. 359 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: I think focusing on on the football on UM, you know, 360 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: on our preparation, on our our you know, weekly plan, 361 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: UM here in the building, here with uh you know, 362 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: my teammates, my coaches, UM, you know, everyone in the building. 363 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: Part of this organization I think is is, UM, you 364 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: know what would be key to UM you know my 365 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: success with that, and UM, you know I understand the responsibility. UM, 366 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: I understand the challenge, but UM, I'm certainly looking for 367 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: to it. Most rookie old rookie quarterbacks have to start somewhere. 368 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: But you're starting with Eli banning in the locker next 369 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: to you. UM. And you know what that means about 370 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: replacing him? Is it? Is it a line you have 371 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: to tread or is it something you know you've got 372 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: to be thrilled for yourself and your preparation and getting 373 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: ready to start. Then you have Eli who just was 374 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: benched after sixteen years. So how do you Is that 375 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: a juggling act for you? A little bit? UM? You know, 376 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: I think, UM, you know, since since I've since I've 377 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: gotten here, Eli has been um, nothing but um you know, 378 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: nothing but helpful and and um you know, welcoming to me. 379 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: And I think, um, you know, obviously now the roles 380 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: are are uh you know different, and and uh you 381 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: know that there will be uh you know, some some 382 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: differences there, but I think largely, um you know, our 383 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: relationship and and um you know how we communicate will 384 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: be will be the same. I think, Um, you know 385 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: he's uh he's done it for a long time at 386 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: a at a really high level. So there's certainly um 387 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: you know a ton I can continue to learn from 388 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: him and will so, UM you know, I think that's 389 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: a tremendous opportunity for me. Outs obviously different a lot 390 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: of the first you know, offense. I'm assuming since the 391 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: season started, a couple of your teammates that the way 392 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: they can help you with making sure the communication is sharp. 393 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: How do you expedite that in in you know today 394 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: through you know, before you take your staff to to 395 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: get that as perfect as possible. Um, I think it starts, 396 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: uh in the meeting room. I mean, I think before 397 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: we get out on the on the practice field, knowing 398 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: what uh we need to do, you know, you know, 399 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: knowing what to expect from um, you know, from them 400 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: and then knowing what to expect from me. So, UM, yeah, 401 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: I think communication is is certainly key. Uh, it certainly 402 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: keeps that. It's obviously different than the United a little bit. 403 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: They've talked about you know, you're ability to run and 404 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: uh they talked about what you through the through the 405 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: deepall as well. How different do you expect the offense 406 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: to look for? How much would you like to sort 407 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: of make it conducive to what your skills are? Um, 408 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure the the uh, the offense 409 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: will change, uh you know substantially. I think it's it's 410 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: it'll be what what we do. It'll be what we've uh, 411 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: what we've rerapped since since the spring, and what um 412 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, what we're what we're used to. So um, 413 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, I I certain I don't. I don't see 414 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: it change in a whole lot. Um you know, I think, um, 415 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, we've we've got a good system. We've got 416 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: um you know, good players who who are used to 417 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: the system. So I think it'll it'll stay pretty consistent. 418 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: Watch two weeks you watched you know, two games that 419 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: were lost in that weren't all about quarterback play. But 420 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: you know entering the lineup, now, where do you think 421 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: you can help this team? Um? You know, I think, um, 422 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: you know, through the first two weeks, like you said, 423 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: there have been uh you know a number of issues 424 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: and you know, as a team, we all have to 425 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: um you know, we all have to perform better. I 426 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: think that's um, you know, I think everyone's on the 427 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: same page there. But you know, I think my my 428 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: job is to is to come in and and uh 429 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, one be prepared and and and know um 430 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: exactly what we need to do and and and execute that. 431 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it's um you know, we 432 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: we you know, like I said, we have good players 433 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: and good spots, and and my job is to execute 434 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: the offense to get the ball where it needs to go, 435 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: UM on time and accurately. So UM you know, I 436 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: don't think, um, you know, my role changes in that sense. 437 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: I think, UM, you know, it's just just to execute. 438 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: What's your confidence level right now? And what would you 439 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: say to giant fans about what they can expect when 440 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: they see you for the first time in a regular 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: season day? Um, I think I'm I'm confident. I think, 442 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: like I said, I feel, uh, I feel good about 443 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: my progress uh to this point. You know, I certainly 444 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: understand there will be um a lot to learn and 445 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: and UM you know I look forward to that, UM 446 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: two giants fans. I mean I think, UM, just just 447 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: to know that that I'll compete as hard as I 448 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: possibly can, UM, prepare as hard as I possibly can, 449 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: and and um and when I'm when I'm out there, 450 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: just just to play as far as I as hard 451 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: as I can and and and do what I can 452 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: to help his team win games platform. When you came here, 453 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: you talked about earning the respect of your teammates. You 454 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: understood what you were coming here. For the fact that 455 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: it sounds like you did earn that respect from your 456 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: walker room. Did it make yesterday's news and today walking 457 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: out and I practice feeling feel any different? The idea 458 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: that you don't have to earn the respect of these guys, 459 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: that they already see you as someone who could take 460 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: over this role. UM, Yeah, I mean I think, uh, 461 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: I think so. I think you know, as a rookie, UM, 462 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: you're you're always trying to earn respect. And you know, 463 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: I think that's a UM continuing process. So UM, you 464 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: know understanding that there's a lot still that that I 465 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: have to learn, Um, that there's a lot I still 466 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: need to I need to work on, but that I'm uh, 467 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, excited to do it and gonna do everything 468 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: I can to to do it.
