Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, I think, like most scrimmages at this time
- 0:02Speaker 1: of year, some real good, some some not so good,
- 0:05Speaker 1: some things that got to correct. We went in to
- 0:07Speaker 1: correct that we had to correct, you know. But the
- 0:11Speaker 1: most important thing coming up coming out of that scrimmage
- 0:13Speaker 1: for me was fundamentals, you know, run game fundamentals, pass
- 0:16Speaker 1: coverage fundamentals, and pass.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Rush, you know, and are we coordinated?
- 0:19Speaker 1: Are we doing things the way they're supposed to be done,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and are we doing things the way we've been practicing
- 0:23Speaker 1: them here for the last two three weeks. So, like
- 0:26Speaker 1: I said, work in progress, but definitely some good there
- 0:29Speaker 1: and some really competitive moments for us.
- 0:31Speaker 3: On events we saw We saw you talking to a
- 0:34Speaker 3: coach talk Kov went out there just just how is
- 0:36Speaker 3: it seeing allegory coach like him? And and what do
- 0:39Speaker 3: you sort of ask a guy like that.
- 0:40Speaker 1: When you see coach kaoff that I've actually been fortunate
- 0:43Speaker 1: enough to talk to a few times since I've been
- 0:45Speaker 1: down here. And I don't think you'd have a better
- 0:47Speaker 1: resource than professional football. You know, when I was younger,
- 0:52Speaker 1: he was down here and built this from the ground up,
- 0:54Speaker 1: and uh, there's a tremendous tradition here a rich tradition
- 0:58Speaker 1: because of what he did. You know, guys like him
- 1:00Speaker 1: and guys like Tony and they were able to win
- 1:02Speaker 1: really early. But he set the precedent for what the
- 1:05Speaker 1: culture should be. And we want to have a culture
- 1:08Speaker 1: very similar to that. You know, being tough, doing your job,
- 1:11Speaker 1: being accountable, made a great teammate, caring about the people
- 1:15Speaker 1: you coach, all that stuff. That's what he's about. I
- 1:17Speaker 1: think that's why he's been able to win the way
- 1:19Speaker 1: he has that The Rady has the entirety of his
- 1:21Speaker 1: career wherever he was, you know, whether it was at
- 1:23Speaker 1: small school college football, Boston College, pro ball, you know.
- 1:27Speaker 1: And then I was fortunate enough, like I said, growing
- 1:30Speaker 1: up New Jersey and grew up a Giants fan. And
- 1:32Speaker 1: when he came to the Giants, I mean, he brought
- 1:34Speaker 1: that culture there and won at the highest level. So
- 1:37Speaker 1: what he says matters and it works.
- 1:40Speaker 2: It's right.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Wi Liam talked about it at the scrimmage, about the
- 1:44Speaker 4: one defensive line pass for us because Josh Trayvon, just
- 1:47Speaker 4: what have you seen out of those guys that's campus
- 1:49Speaker 4: cop to progress.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Yeah, we have we got a bunch of talent there
- 1:53Speaker 1: on the edge. And again I'm just always going to
- 1:55Speaker 1: go back to what's our play style, you know, being
- 1:57Speaker 1: that way one thousand miles an hour every snow up
- 2:00Speaker 1: of a game. When those guys can bring it that way,
- 2:03Speaker 1: it really it does a lot for our defense. And
- 2:05Speaker 1: I saw a lot of good things from them the
- 2:07Speaker 1: other night. And they've been competing their tail off every
- 2:09Speaker 1: day out here in camp, and Matt Edwards has been
- 2:12Speaker 1: on them, you know, he's been grinding them and they're
- 2:14Speaker 1: responding to the coaching. So seen a lot of good
- 2:17Speaker 1: things out of them so far this summer.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Why do you move to Paul as.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Just another veteran guy who's had success in his career,
- 2:25Speaker 1: You know, I think that's whenever you can have that
- 2:28Speaker 1: or add that to your roster, it's it's important and
- 2:30Speaker 1: obviously helpful. He's got a wealth of knowledge playing in
- 2:33Speaker 1: a bunch of systems, and he's just.
- 2:35Speaker 2: A good, high character guy. It's a good football player.
- 2:38Speaker 2: So we liked.
- 2:38Speaker 4: To be sorry, how much value does a guy like
- 2:41Speaker 4: they want through the break the defense when we can
- 2:43Speaker 4: see a line up inside and outside depending of the situation.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a bunch of value because you know,
- 2:48Speaker 1: he's a three down type of guy. So you know,
- 2:50Speaker 1: he could play early down. He can play obviously in
- 2:54Speaker 1: the past or our situations.
- 2:55Speaker 2: You can move around.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Super smart guy when it comes to the rush. Has
- 2:58Speaker 1: done a bunch of that, you know, coordinate in that
- 3:00Speaker 1: in his history as a player in this league. So
- 3:04Speaker 1: and he's a super cultural guy, you know what I mean,
- 3:06Speaker 1: tough guy.
- 3:07Speaker 2: So I like him. I like being around and he
- 3:10Speaker 2: brings a lot to us.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Joshuit said, like him and Smoot. Yeah, they've played so
- 3:13Speaker 4: many games together.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Yeah, just in sync out there is That's something you
- 3:16Speaker 3: can see.
- 3:16Speaker 2: As a coach.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see that. The relationship with people. You know,
- 3:20Speaker 1: when you bring a guy into the building, what's important
- 3:23Speaker 1: is the chemistry and the energy too. That's like the
- 3:25Speaker 1: unspoken part about pro football. You're got to bring the
- 3:27Speaker 1: right people in your building. And guys here already had
- 3:30Speaker 1: a relationship with him, and everybody was.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Happy to have back. You know.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I know Joshua is also especially cool.
- 3:37Speaker 3: We have poents talked about how versus Chile Devan Lloyd
- 3:40Speaker 3: is and really excited to see him.
- 3:41Speaker 1: How he is he being versatile under you. I mean,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I know you're a very versatile and yeah, I think
- 3:47Speaker 1: He's done a really good job moving around were trying
- 3:50Speaker 1: to move him around with his alignments. He does some
- 3:52Speaker 1: different things based on you know, what the down and
- 3:54Speaker 1: distance or situation is for us.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So he's done a good job.
- 3:57Speaker 1: He's kind of taking on all those roles and run
- 4:00Speaker 1: with it. He's a smart football player and a guy
- 4:02Speaker 1: that I said in the spring, you know, he's kind
- 4:03Speaker 1: of always doing extra always hanging around the building, trying
- 4:07Speaker 1: to watch tape, ask questions, and you really need to
- 4:10Speaker 1: be one of those guys when you're when you have
- 4:11Speaker 1: like a multiple uh, when you're asked to do multiple
- 4:15Speaker 1: roles out there, you know what.
- 4:16Speaker 2: About a sense of bringing life at.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I think he's a really competitive guy at the point
- 4:25Speaker 1: of attack. You know, there's a guy who's had success
- 4:28Speaker 1: in this league and he loves to be coached. It
- 4:31Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Like he's never really sitting still. If he's
- 4:34Speaker 1: got down time, he's doing drill work. He goes out
- 4:37Speaker 1: there and tries to compete against our best players every day,
- 4:39Speaker 1: challenges himself, always asking questions and certainly demanding of himself,
- 4:44Speaker 1: you know, critical in the most positive way, watching his
- 4:47Speaker 1: technique every day and trying to get better So those
- 4:50Speaker 1: are guys who love coaching.
- 4:51Speaker 4: You know.
- 4:52Speaker 2: He maybe you're.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Fortunate to have a guy like I'm fortunate to have
- 4:53Speaker 1: a guy like that, and you like him in your
- 4:55Speaker 1: scheme due, Yeah, love what he does because I think
- 4:58Speaker 1: he could play with vision on the ball, can get
- 5:00Speaker 1: up there and challenge and play priss. He's physical, so yeah,
- 5:04Speaker 1: all facets of his game definitely apply to.
- 5:06Speaker 4: What we do.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Recent Eric kind of week till week What do you
- 5:10Speaker 3: see from that in cybertation of DTS? So we kind
- 5:13Speaker 3: of get a little bit of run opposite Georgie Jumperson.
- 5:15Speaker 4: What have you seen?
- 5:16Speaker 1: Yeah, guy, those guys they're working hard for us. You know,
- 5:20Speaker 1: we're just trying to develop consistency uh in there, and
- 5:23Speaker 1: I think those guys are getting a lot of good work,
- 5:25Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I thought they did some really good stuff into scrimmage.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I thought Lacy had a good scrimmage the other day,
- 5:31Speaker 1: you know, And I thought those guys were working hard.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Running to the ball.
- 5:34Speaker 1: And the biggest thing we talk about a lot is
- 5:36Speaker 1: not staying blocked, and they're doing that, you know, whether
- 5:38Speaker 1: they're grinding blocks and playing primary to secondary or getting penetration. Uh,
- 5:41Speaker 1: they've been doing what we're asking them to do, and
- 5:43Speaker 1: we're gonna keep asking them to do that, you know,
- 5:45Speaker 1: with a great level of consistency.
- 5:47Speaker 2: In the scrimmage.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Travis Starder on offense and then he switches jerseys and
- 5:51Speaker 4: goes to their defensive side. Could you kind of talk
- 5:53Speaker 4: about that process? Is whether it communicated to you that
- 5:55Speaker 4: he's coming to defense.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Or yeah, yeah, yeah, we we kind of had that
- 6:00Speaker 1: set in motion, you know where he was going to be.
- 6:01Speaker 1: But he does a lot of that in practice, you
- 6:03Speaker 1: know what I mean, one period he may be with us,
- 6:05Speaker 1: next periods with them. Some days he may start on defense,
- 6:08Speaker 1: then he's working on offense. His meeting schedules was very
- 6:11Speaker 1: much like that. So, like I said the last time
- 6:13Speaker 1: I was up here, he's done a really good job
- 6:14Speaker 1: with that. And I think Liam's done a great job
- 6:17Speaker 1: coordinating that. You know, it's been demanding on him, but
- 6:19Speaker 1: he's responded in every way and they just I.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Don't want to get too deep into it because it's
- 6:24Speaker 4: still early, but do you think he has flexibility to
- 6:28Speaker 4: kind of move around on defense a little bit?
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yeah? He's pretty good athlete.
- 6:32Speaker 1: I mean, can he can do a whole lot You know,
- 6:37Speaker 1: I think there's everything I've watched him do to this
- 6:39Speaker 1: point has been really impressive. So I think there's really
- 6:43Speaker 1: Skot's the limit when it comes to what he's able
- 6:44Speaker 1: to do.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Just training him for you, being able to stay healthy,
- 6:48Speaker 3: you know, being out there last nine days, I guess.
- 6:50Speaker 2: It's been great man.
- 6:51Speaker 5: You know, been in that chemistry with the guys, you know,
- 6:55Speaker 5: learning a new defense, competing competing with you know, the
- 6:58Speaker 5: offense each and every day has been fun.
- 7:00Speaker 2: What have you liked about this defense? And and sort
- 7:03Speaker 2: of how you.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Fit in a difference, like everything about it, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 5: the the versatility of it, you know, uh, you know,
- 7:10Speaker 5: you know how fast we could play in it, and uh,
- 7:13Speaker 5: it's it's built for everybody's strength.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So I'm living it at Drew Lewis to the defense.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Just what's he been like, not even just on the
- 7:19Speaker 2: field and kind of off the field too.
- 7:20Speaker 5: Oh, he's been a great heck of a evet. You know,
- 7:23Speaker 5: a guy that's played in his league for a long
- 7:24Speaker 5: time and has been successful. You know, so just picking
- 7:27Speaker 5: his brain. Uh, fun guy to be around, you know,
- 7:30Speaker 5: great personality, you know, brings a lot of energy each
- 7:32Speaker 5: and every day and.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Then have you seen kind of Jari and grow from
- 7:36Speaker 3: you know, as a rookie last year to what he's
- 7:38Speaker 3: doing kind of right now.
- 7:39Speaker 2: You see a lot of growth.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Man. You know, he he came into this camp with
- 7:43Speaker 5: a mind say that he's not a rookie anymore, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 5: ready to you know, uh, you know, dominate this season.
- 7:49Speaker 5: And you know I can see each and every day,
- 7:50Speaker 5: you know, so my job is, you know, to keep
- 7:52Speaker 5: pushing him and you know, help him get where he wants.
- 7:55Speaker 2: To get to.
- 7:55Speaker 3: You feel like you're having a good game for us.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Uh.
- 7:57Speaker 5: I think I am uh just trying to stack stack days,
- 8:01Speaker 5: you know, compete, get my hands on the ball, you know,
- 8:03Speaker 5: making sure my alignment, my assignments, you know, and my
- 8:07Speaker 5: keys are on point each and every day.
- 8:08Speaker 2: So I think I'm pretty doing.
- 8:10Speaker 1: A pretty good job of frustrating Brian.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Yeah was iron sharper hiren You know, heck of a receiver,
- 8:16Speaker 5: you know, DM. We have a bunch of great receivers.
- 8:19Speaker 5: So just going against them each and every day, you
- 8:21Speaker 5: gotta bring you a game and and that helps me
- 8:24Speaker 5: you know mentally, you know, knowing that I can't take
- 8:26Speaker 5: any days off, you know, I got to bring it
- 8:27Speaker 5: each and every day and each and every play.
- 8:29Speaker 3: So what are you been learned about Mary Travis as
- 8:32Speaker 3: a receiver?
- 8:33Speaker 5: Oh, you know, just his how quick he is and
- 8:37Speaker 5: you know how ship shifty is and uh he gets
- 8:39Speaker 5: to a spot and Trevy is able to put it anywhere,
- 8:42Speaker 5: and he's athletic enough to reach out and go get it.
- 8:46Speaker 5: So his ball skids are definitely something that that catches
- 8:48Speaker 5: your eye.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Does that kind of translate when he's playing defense.
- 8:51Speaker 2: What you got? Of course that's what makes him uh
- 8:54Speaker 2: so so unique.
- 8:55Speaker 5: You know, he brings that that have those ball skills
- 8:57Speaker 5: from the officer's side and uses them the same way
- 9:00Speaker 5: the Deepenisi does that.
- 9:01Speaker 3: Thinking you see your coverner guy one day and then
- 9:04Speaker 3: communicating with on defense next day.
- 9:06Speaker 5: Uh nah, it's just you. You just bring that mindset.
- 9:09Speaker 5: You cover who's up in front of you. And that's
- 9:11Speaker 5: a mindset I bring. I know each receiver is different.
- 9:15Speaker 5: Uh so I may have to use a different technique
- 9:17Speaker 5: for each of them, but the mindset is the same.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Just you know, locking on the guy that's in front
- 9:21Speaker 2: of me.
- 9:22Speaker 4: I know. Something you try to do is always run
- 9:24Speaker 4: along the young guys, who are some of the guys
- 9:25Speaker 4: that have kind of you tried to, you know, help.
- 9:28Speaker 5: Out early and oh yeah, uh, Nico Slaughter, Jabbari, you
- 9:33Speaker 5: know Caleb.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Jari.
- 9:37Speaker 5: You know those guys you know, just bring him along,
- 9:39Speaker 5: just just helps slowing the game down.
- 9:41Speaker 3: For how challenging have these last two years been for you?
- 9:44Speaker 3: Just not being able to stay helpy necessarily during during
- 9:47Speaker 3: the regular season, Like what what has been your mindset
- 9:49Speaker 3: moving forward world?
- 9:51Speaker 2: It's been. I'm grateful for it. You know.
- 9:53Speaker 5: It's allowed me to be mentally tough, and it's allowed
- 9:56Speaker 5: me to be present and learn to be where my
- 9:58Speaker 5: feet are and and realize what God is trying to
- 10:01Speaker 5: teach me in each and every moment so that you
- 10:03Speaker 5: know when it when. I know the trouble don't last always,
- 10:06Speaker 5: so when I do get through the storm, I'm mentally
- 10:08Speaker 5: you know, mature and mentally strong you know, to to
- 10:12Speaker 5: go through anything. So I'm grateful for it. You know
- 10:15Speaker 5: it's behind me. You know, I'm being present and excited
- 10:18Speaker 5: for this year.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Did you mentioned sat in days?
- 10:20Speaker 4: Is that just really a focus?
- 10:22Speaker 2: Yeah? I did it.

- 10:26Speaker 5: have a a good day. Uh, the day prior doesn't
- 10:29Speaker 5: mean you're gonna have a great day today. So you
- 10:31Speaker 5: gotta be intentional, you know, uh take it one day
- 10:34Speaker 5: at a time, that short term memory, uh, because these days.

- 11:22Speaker 5: and it's very accountable.
- 11:23Speaker 4: You know.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Each day we're going over mistakes that the office had
- 11:27Speaker 5: made or defense that made and we're seeing it as
- 11:28Speaker 5: a team and learning, you know, how we can correct
- 11:31Speaker 5: those miss those mistakes going into the next day. So
- 11:34Speaker 5: it's just been an accountability around the group or around
- 11:36Speaker 5: the team so that each day we know what we
- 11:38Speaker 5: had to fix and and make sure we don't make
- 11:40Speaker 5: him again.

- 11:42Speaker 3: be open and honest, not make an impact on you
- 11:45Speaker 3: guys as.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Player definitely, Uh, you want transparency between the players and
- 11:48Speaker 5: the coaches, and that's gonna allow us to you know,
- 11:51Speaker 5: get through you know, tough times and get through adversity
- 11:54Speaker 5: so that we could capitalize on, you know, whatever issue is.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Man Kemp has he kind of seems like he's your
- 11:59Speaker 4: hands on coach, like he'll come coach the DB's coach
- 12:01Speaker 4: a different positions where it's just how has that kind of.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Been seen there? Got so a coach man, he's a
- 12:06Speaker 2: type of the coach you'll run through a wall four. Uh.

- 12:12Speaker 5: so that's how you know it's genuine. You know, he
