1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: For you just calling plays and getting used to that again, 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Just what was that like for you at this point? 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: It was fun. It was fun. It was a good experience. 4 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 3: I was the time you getting there to call, getting 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 3: the game, situation or competitive environment. It's always it's always cool. 6 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 3: And then they go watch the players go compete. Is 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 3: uh is awesome? 8 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: So I guess it's tough. 9 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: It's a word, but with a tricky to kind of 10 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: get back and rhally not the last year not calling players. 11 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 2: Is there any tricky parts. 12 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: Of that at all? 13 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 3: It was just, you know, it's the game we've been 14 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: I've been playing and being part of for a long 15 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 3: time for a long time now. So it's just about 16 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 3: you know, getting with the players, give them the stuff 17 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: that they like, and then just going to evaluation. You 18 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 3: know in the preseason obviously it's bigger evaluation tool, but 19 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 3: you know, it's just getting getting back into the flow 20 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: of it. We've been doing it throughout training camp, throughout 21 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: the spring, so just banking those reps have been good. 22 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: You did a great job. He's a lot of confidence. 23 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 2: It's one thing to do it in the preseason. 24 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: What's it mean to you, Like you're going back into 25 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: you know the regular season, that you're going to do 26 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: it this season in particular. Yeah, I mean, just continue 27 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: to go through our process and work through you know, 28 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: each day, like what that ems is first second down? 29 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: What does it mean to you to be back as 30 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: a play calll you know personally, you. 31 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: Know, I haven't really had a whole bunch of time 32 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: to think about that. I've been just thinking about the players, 33 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: you know, thinking about the guys and how we can 34 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 3: make them great, thinking about our coaches and the coaching 35 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 3: staff and how I can help them and be a 36 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: servant servant to them, and how we can make this 37 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: organization better, and how I can make my you know, 38 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: make our offense better. 39 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: That's really been my focus. 40 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: And then you know, obviously all hands on deck for 41 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: for Washington this week. 42 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 4: Do you like you do you like the the cup 43 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: up of the sideline and the emotion of the sideline 44 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 4: of calling plays or do you like the you know, 45 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 4: the sterilely buying thing up the bond? 46 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think next to you guys. No, No, 47 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: it's funny. It was good to be on good to 48 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: be in the sideline. 49 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 3: It's always fun to be right there with the players 50 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: and see it eye to eye and communicate with them 51 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: more directly. You can do elements of that up in 52 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: the box, but there's really no substitute for being on 53 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: the field. But I don't think there's a right or 54 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 3: wrong answer. I think, you know, guys obviously operate a 55 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: bunch of different ways. So I thought it was cool, it. 56 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: Was fun, But do you like it on the scene, 57 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: you had your choice. I mean, you may have your choice. 58 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, if you want that, you can 59 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 5: talk to them elite, you can grab somebody, you can 60 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 5: do this versus. 61 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: Being up there. 62 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been I think that's been productive throughout the 63 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: throughout training camp. You know, because you're on the field, 64 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: you're going to do the same voice and you're well 65 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 3: talk to the quarterback and of look them in the eyes, 66 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: go down to the offensive line and hit each position group. 67 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: I think there's a certain element of you know, leadership 68 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: and just being a part being down in there with 69 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 3: them that I think has been has been fun and 70 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: so you know, we'll see how it shapes out. 71 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 6: Do you think it's been even more important when you 72 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 6: have a rookie on the roster like Jackson just trying 73 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 6: to be there and ax him given your experience too, is. 74 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: It Yeah, I don't think. I don't know if it's 75 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: an advantage or not. 76 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: I think, you know, Jackson and Jamis in the quarterback room, 77 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: everyone's gotta be ready to play. But in terms of 78 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: just the munication part of it, it's be the same 79 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: as we are in the meeting room. You know, we're like, 80 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: we're building that relationship out. We have been the entire offseason. 81 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 3: So whether we're on the field for the game or 82 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: in the box, I would say and assume that the 83 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: communication would be. 84 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: Very similar sense. 85 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 7: Any disappointment from Jamis when he was put third on 86 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 7: the on the on official depth chart this week. 87 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: I know, I don't know if Daves, I'm not gonna 88 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: into depth art stuff with Like I know Daves will 89 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: probably give you a more elaborate, detailed answer. 90 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: You had a depth chart, Yeah, Daves. 91 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 7: How ready do you feel like Jackson is for his 92 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 7: first NFL game against Start? How ready do you feel 93 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 7: like Jackson is if he has to go in his 94 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 7: first NFL game? 95 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we're on Thursday, so not everything's in yet. 96 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: But each day everyone's working to get working to get 97 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: better and learn, you know, learn the game plan, learn 98 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: the focus of that day. You know, he's prepping to 99 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: play and prepping to get get ready to and just being 100 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: out of schedule with everybody, just like everybody is. I 101 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: think he's right on schedule. I think we're right where 102 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: we're supposed to be in terms of the game plan. 103 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 3: And you know tomorrow, today's the most important day. Tomorrow's 104 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: another big day, and that prep will continue to go 105 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: all the way up until game time. 106 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: This is your first game with Russ. 107 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 5: Stutely, you know, it's the first game with the Giants, 108 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 5: so you just like you don't you know what stats 109 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 5: are going to be, how he's going to do. What 110 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 5: do you feel very confident that you know you're going 111 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 5: to get from him on Sunday. 112 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: I think you see it in the in the meeting rooms. 113 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: You see it, you know, in the in the building, 114 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: you see it off the field with the players, with 115 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: the guys in the community. I think you get just 116 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 3: a really consistent player, and Russ has been doing that 117 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: all camp and so we need his leadership and it's 118 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: consistency and just go play quarterback and do your job 119 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: and let the game come to you. But you know, 120 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: I'm excited to see us play, and I'm excited to 121 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: see everybody. 122 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: Play, you know. I think it's going to be a fun, 123 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: fun year, and we're all excited about it. 124 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: But we got to get to work today and we've 125 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: got a lot of things we got to get cleaned 126 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: up and before we get ready for Sunday. 127 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 8: I would think the benefits of being on the sideline, 128 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 8: but obviously there's the reason why you're up in the 129 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 8: box for three years. So what are some of the 130 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 8: drawbacks for being down there? 131 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: The drawbacks? 132 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: I mean, it is more quiet up there, you know, 133 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: like you I don't know if that's a drawback. I'm 134 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: just trying to trying to find some of the things 135 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: that are just differences. 136 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 2: I would say. 137 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: The differences like it's it's definitely quieter up there. You 138 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: can you can see the field a lot, like the 139 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: width of it and everything. You see everybody when you're 140 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: down the field. You know, you got to have trust 141 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: the eyes upstairs to make sure they say, hey, check 142 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: out the backside corner and display, check out what the 143 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: safety is doing. You can verify via the pictures and 144 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: stuff like that. But you know, it's just probably more 145 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: dialogue upstairs. Say, hey, check this out for me. My 146 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 3: eyes are over here, your eyes are over there. And 147 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: then just the communication with the staff is you know, 148 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: it's probably a little bit quicker because you know, they're 149 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: working through their job. They got their substitutions, they have 150 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: their players, their guys. Who's on the field, who's off 151 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: the field, and so that needs to happen a little 152 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: bit quicker. But there's a certain element of just having 153 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: the guys right there next to you and being able 154 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: to just communicate with them quick. 155 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 8: Relying on their eyes up there. Again, who are you 156 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 8: relying on your eyes up there? There's a group of 157 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 8: guys up there. There's a group of guys there. I'm 158 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 8: not gonna detail out with who's up and who's not. 159 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 8: All the dabs like talk about the exact specifics, but 160 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 8: there's a you know, about half of our staff is 161 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 8: up there in terms of the game management, in terms 162 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 8: of the offensive side. 163 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: That'll give us all the information. 164 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 7: How did you feel Davis has talked about this a 165 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 7: little bit. How did you feel like Jackson handled it? 166 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 7: A couple of times he was like thrown into the fire. 167 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: I can think of a practice yere. 168 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 7: Where he came in for Jamis in the red zone 169 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 7: the Jets game where he came in for one play 170 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 7: for Russ. How did you think, I know Dable said 171 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 7: that was part of his play, And how did you 172 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 7: feel like he handled those times when it was like unexpected, 173 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 7: you're in the game. 174 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I thought they did a nice job. They 175 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: did a nice job just stepping in executing and uh, 176 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: yeah I did. Is that a hard thing to do? Yeah, 177 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: it's not. 178 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 3: I mean, certainly when you're just thrown in on a whim, 179 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 3: it's not not necessarily easy. But I think he's prepared himself. 180 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: He's prepped, and he went in there and is executing. 181 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: It wasn't too big for him and just want to 182 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: play go ahead? 183 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 6: How different is it to go in and preseason action 184 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 6: like that being tossed in versus the regular season. 185 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: For a repeating you know it's this is not his 186 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: first game. 187 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: I would say he's been playing football for a long time, 188 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 3: so getting in like, I think that's that's part of 189 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: the game. It can happen at any position, got to be. 190 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: That's why you prep and you study, and you spend 191 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 3: hours and hours and hours looking over this stuff, and 192 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: that's what you know. You walk around the building in 193 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: the late afternoon, and there's guys here that're meeting together, 194 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: they're talking together, they're studying, they're writing their notes. So 195 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: you see that, you see the work prepped, and and 196 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: then when you get an opportunity, it pays off because 197 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 3: you're so prepared for it. 198 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: A lot of guys have said Russ is very consistent 199 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: and has been since he got here, so curious with 200 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: preparing for this game week.
