00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: it was just um, you know, at that time, obviously

7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: just having some familiarity with with betch Uh the d

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: c UM and just really wanted to come here and

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: and plug that hole and provide the Giants for my services.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: What is it about James Betcher the way he coaches

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: in the system that makes it a good fit for you? Well,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: I think the aggressive style of defense. UM. When I

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: was in the system and UM sixteen UM did some

14
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: great things in defense as a whole, and just that

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: style of defense where you know, UM, guys all over

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the defense can make plays and if everybody comes together

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: and do their role, UM just could be a defense

18
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: that does great things. Now you put a lot of

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: that single high roll there right, that center fuel role.

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Why is that such an important position in his scheme? Um?

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: You know that that that position kind of gets the

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: guys lined up. Um controls the defense, get guys in

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: the places that where they need to be and UM

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: and also when you know, obviously with the covers in

25
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: the past the past for USh, um that's in the

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: fielder can go out there and make plays and be

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: a game changer. So whoever's back there, myself, you real,

28
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: whoever it is can be back there, can can control

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: the airways and make plays. What is it about your

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: experience and your skill set that makes you fit well

31
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: into that type of roum? I think um versatility, you know,

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: UM can come down in the box, UM, pride myself

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: and tackling, and can you know cover tight ends, can

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: play in the posts. Um, you have range. You know

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 1: obviously know it's been a big deal about my age,

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: but UM, you know, go out there and do what

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: I do, do what I've been doing, and just try

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: to help this team win. You mentioned the chance to

39
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: play alongside you pro peppers. How do you think your

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: skill set compliments is Man? I think UM, you know,

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: watching him play Man, he's UM. I think we're gonna

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: be a good, good duo. UM. I think we can

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: compliment and play off one another. Being that he can

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: play in the post, he can play in the box. Obviously,

45
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the offense can't really dictate who's gonna be that down safety,

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna be in the post. So I think that

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: always plays Um plays in the defensive hand where we

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: can't tip uh tip our defense off saying oh, he's

49
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: always down and he's always in the post. So we'll

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: be able to play off one another, and once we

51
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: get get a filling off one another, I think we'll

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: be able to do great things back there. And toon congratulations,

53
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,000
