• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: What's Up, everybody, Welcome to another episode of the Season
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: with Peter Schreger. I am Peter Schreger. I just stepped
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: into my Brooklyn apartment after spending all morning in the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: early afternoon at New York Giants Detroit Lions joint practice
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: number two. Aaron wan Kaufman is joining me, my wonderful producer.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Aaron, I've got pep in my step. I saw a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: real football today and it was awesome. Let me just
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: give you a quick breakdown of practice. Some dispatches coming.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Into this thing. Yesterday. The storyline was that there was
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a bunch of fights and there was a question as
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to whether they would practice and pads again today and
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: go all out because yesterday there were fights. No one
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: got hurt, thank god. But one of the key things
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: was Daniel Jones got involved in a fight in a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Red Jersey yesterday, came in, popped himself in and he
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: didn't do much, but the fact that he was there,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and the question was, you know, what's he doing? And
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the other question is do we kind of like it?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones not exactly known as that guy. Uh spent
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the entire offseason with Hard Knocks, you know, being on
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: them talking about other quarterbacks and gosh it was and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: obviously everyone seems to be writing off Daniel Jones. Then
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: sure enough there was in the mix yesterday. We fast
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: forward to today, which is Tuesday, and I get there
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: with my colleague Kyle Brandt. We get there nice and early,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and there's like a buzz in the air because it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: open to fans. These two teams would add it head
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to head, and today it's like round two. Let me
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: explain the Lions. There's something there to them that maybe
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we at home look at it as this cool Cinderella story,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: but like they kind of walked that walk, and they
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: kind of talked that. If I'm being honest, like I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: watching these guys, they carry themselves as a team that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: went to the NFC Championship game. They've got a bunch
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of alphas in that roster. I mean, we were talking
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: about Panay Suwell might be the most horrifying offensive tackle
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: outside of Trent Williams Aden Hutchinson. He does the thing
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: where he tucks his jersey in so you could see
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: his abs like he's like an old school like, you know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: he rolls it up old school defensive linemen, like from
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a different era, and he is coming into his own
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs, he walks that walk. He is that guy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And then there's a mon Ross Saint Brown, who his
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: father is a mister World bodybuilder, and he kind of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: walks that walk in if he saw the receiver on Netflix.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He knows sixteen names of receivers who were taken before him,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and he knows every single one of those players when
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: they were selected, in what college they went to. They
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have a giant chip on their shoulder, and they come
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in here and they've got a bunch of swagger, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, they walk in and last year it was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: this aw shucks team and they.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, no. They are one of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the biggest teams in the league. They're one of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: most physical teams in the league. And as they got
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to the to New Jersey yesterday, I think there were
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: some issues with the with the plane on the tarmac.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know all the details there, but like there
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: was a pissed off vibe from the Lions, which I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: kind of like, and it's one of these where it's like,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: last year wasn't a one year wonder. Last year wasn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one of these deals where it was an overnight success.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They all got paid this offseason, a lot of them,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: whether it be Decker or whether it be Aman Ross,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Saint Brown, or whether it be Jared Goff, they all
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: got paid. And like these are made men and they
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: are no longer the Hunters and this aw shuck story.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: They're gonna play at noon on Thanksgiving. Let's just hope
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: they don't get blown out that one day when we
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: see them on national TV. This is one of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: best teams in football.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: So they come in with all this and Aaron, I'll
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: tell you this, a lot of Lions fans there. You
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn, you grew up on the like, like
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of Steelers fans everywhere I go. I see,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of course, Eagles fans everywhere we go, especially in New York.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I don't see a ton of Lions fans. Like Lions
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: fans showed up at these joint practices and it was cool,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Like you get there and you've got this Lions team
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: that comes in like they're the big bad you know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: bad asses and all this stuff. Then there's this Giants
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: team that's like, we've just been beating up, talked down to, ridiculed,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: made a mockery of over the past twelve months. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it's like, what if we had a healthy quarterback, what
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: if we beefed up our offensive line, what if we
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: added some talented players on the what if we added
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Brian Burns, one of the best pass users in football.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Like what You've got these two different teams with chips
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on their shoulders. They've only been practicing against each other
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the first few weeks of training camp. They finally get
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: after it and day one their's fisticos, it gets broken up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Day two it starts off and I'm telling you, eron.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen a receiver put
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: on a show like Milik Neighbors put on today. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I haven't read Twitter, I haven't read Giants Twitter. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: haven't done anything literally off the practice field talking to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you right now. I think Milik Neighbors had I counted
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: seven different targets when the Ones are playing the Ones.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I think he caught all seven having a field day
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: on Terry and Arnold, the rookie from the Detroit Lions,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: having a field day on you know, I saw Kirby Joseph,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: who's a star player on the Lions. He was just
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: catching balls over him.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So Milik Neighbors is eating them alive, eating them alive,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: eating them alive. Milik Neighbors catches a ball and on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the way back to the huddle like taps Terry and Arnold,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: who a tap is more than a tap.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Terry Arnold, who is a first round pick out of Alabama.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I remember Neighbors, the first round pick out at LSU.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Arnold pushes him and then Neighbors immediately gets involved and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: pushes back, and then all of a sudden, there's punches
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: being thrown right in front of us as we're set
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: up there for Good Morning Football. And this is the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: number six pick in the draft, and I think the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: number twenty three pick in the draft. Neighbors and Arnold,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and then Kirby Joseph, who was an interception machine last
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: year for the Lions.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He's a recent, you know, draft pick out of Illinois.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He comes flying in and it's a haha, it's a fracas,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: it's whatever you want to call it. And I'm watching
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: this with Kyle Brant, We're like, this is freaking awesome. Now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: do we want any to get hurt? No, but the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: intensity was so high and I don't have I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: do the keep track of like what it was. But
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: like Daniel Jones looks really good, Jared Golf looked really good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: But Malik Neighbors put on an absolute show. And from
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: everyone who is there, on Monday is the second straight
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: day he's done that. Aaron, are we ready to get
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: all aboard the Malik Neighbors hype train? Okay?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: So I also just finished watching episode five of almost
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: House of the Dragon.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, I heard a lot of critical response from House
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to the Dragon, though.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: People aren't I did finish watching the House of the Dragon,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: but just finished the end of Hard Knocks because I
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: missed the final episode last week and so I watched
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it today.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And I mean, Neighbors looks incredible, amazing, And that was
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in a June practice you were watching.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I've seen a couple of clips of you know,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: some big high overhead ball like catches that he's made
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: from Daneer Jones so far, and you know, we're getting
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a lot of Marvin Harrison talk and and we're getting
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: we're seeing Caleb on the field with Rome and I
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: want Malik to be incredible. I want I'm not a
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Giants fan, that's fine. I want the days of like
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Obj catching the one handed passes, like making the Giants exciting.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So I am I would love it if he's great.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: You watched Tard Knocks. There was this really cool distinction
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: made during the draft process of whether this guy is
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a diva or this guy is one of those dudes
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that just has an incredible competitive edge because apparently when
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: he was at LSU, if he didn't get the ball,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: he barked and he complained and he would let everyone
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: know about it. And that's a pain in the ass
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback, especially if you're gonna be a rookie
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: But Brian Dable felt comfortable with it. That's a great
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: segue to our first interview.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: We did two interview and I'm going to toss to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: one of them. I asked Dabel exactly this question. This
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: was right before practice. Brian Dabele sat with us, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple of visuals here. Brian Dabel's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: down maybe sixty pounds. He looks incredible.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: He said that it's pilates not putting a ton of
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: food in his mouth, calorie watching, and he says, Zen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: just being chill, this is what it was. It helped
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: him lose weight, so this is what is. He also
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: says he yo Yo's way up and way down over
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the course of his life. So he could put on
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the sixty real quick, he said, And I'm like, please, don't, please,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: don't do that. Like you look great, you look the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: best you've looked.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: But I asked him just that question about neighbors, about
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: why he was so convicted in him, and why he
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: believed that this guy is all the good things of competitiveness,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: not the bad things that you get with some wide receivers,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: especially if they're not getting the ball early on.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I love this guy, Brian Dable. We've had him on
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the podcast before. I consider him a friend. If I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: a little too chummy with him, you got to Understan
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and why. I've known this guy for twenty years and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I really respect the hot of him and I'm rooting
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: for him to get back to where he was when
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: he was Coach of the Year two years ago, as
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: opposed to last year where the team took a dip
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: with no further ado. Here was Brian Dable earlier today
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: before Giants practice.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We're thrilled now to have the twenty twenty two NFL
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, the head coach of the New
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: York Giants and a friend of the show, mister Brian Table.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: What's what's up, Dave's how're you doing?
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me, guys, you appreciate it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Happy to have you.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Thrilled that you and still to look at you. You
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: look great. You're tam there's like half of you that's
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: this year. You look awesome. How do you feel? Yeah?
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: I feel great.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: That's what happens when you drop some pounds and you
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: know you're you know, you look at the BMI chart
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: and mine was off the chart, so I just I
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: just had to get it back to where it says overweight.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: Where I'm sitting at overweight right now? But yeah, feel good.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Had a good camp and look forward to today.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I know you you're a guy who wants to talk
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: about football. Let's talk about the quarterbacks. Let's talk about it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: The last thing you want is focus on your physical peas,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and yet it is so inspiring.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: It motivates all of us when we see what you
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: showed up to a camp this year.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: How are you handling all the talk about you personally
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and your your looks?
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I disregard that because because I know it's going
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: to go up pretty quickly.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Are you already resigning to that fact season that I have.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: We're on a steady climb at the sense of starting
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: riting camp.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know this weather helps to keep it down.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: You sweat it out.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: Uh yeah, but and our focus is on our team
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: and trying to get better and had.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: To get some new clothes. But save save the old.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Ones, know you do save the big ones. You know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: This is what's crazy about this is Dan Campbell after
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: yesterday's practice, of all practices, He's asked about your appearance
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: and your weight, and Dan's like, that's Dave's man.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: He's up, he's.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: Down, he's up, he's down, And like he called you
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: a chameleon, like whatever the circumstances you fit to. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: I also think that's relatable to fans. It's like we
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: have like heavy season and light season, you get it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and you know lately it's been heavy season.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: But DC is great.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: You know, we worked together at Miami, got a lot
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: of good stories on him as well. You did a
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: great impression of it, by the way. Yeah, solid impression.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: But yeah, that's just the way it goes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you football stuff, because yesterday, I mean
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the stuff that the local media of New York's time
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was like most spirited practice in ten years.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: You had straight Han Victor Cruz, Phil Simms.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Here and like, here comes this Lions team that went
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to the NFC Championship a year ago, coming in as
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the hunted and the Giants are like, we're not, you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: walking into our building and bushing us around. Like you
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: have to love even if there are fights, you have
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to love that your team came ready to play.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's why we practice against Detroit. One of
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: my appreciation for Dan and how he runs things and
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: and their team ultimately, but it was a competitive, spirited practice.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: You know, we got to clean up a few things
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: here technique wise, clean up some stuff on the in
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: the scuffles. We don't want a bunch of those, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: definitely got a lot of good work out of it
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: yesterday and looking to do the same today.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: You know, you see the scuffles in every camp. You
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: do not often see a guy in a red jersey
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: flying into the scuffle to shove a guy who's entangled
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: up with his teammate. You don't want to see Daniel
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: Jones get hurt. You want to seem that dude. It's
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: bad ass to see the quarterback and have his guys back.
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: I think the fans relate. We liked it.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: There's got to be part of you that says hell yes,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: number eight.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: You know he got in there, and you know it
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: was a little scuffle with the.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: Linemen going on, and I didn't exactly see what happened
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: after that. And he's sitting over the side and I said,
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: what are you going to do in that pilot?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: He said, I got my guys back. I said, all right,
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: just just make sure you're asked, don't get hurt.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I think the guys have a lot of
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: respect for him. They always have the way he approaches things.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: But there's definitely something cool for the lineman and for
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: the defensive guys to see with their quarterback.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: You remember in Major League where Wesley Snipes makes the
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: basket catch and the magic goes nice catch.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: Hays don't ever bleep and do it against great great
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Lou Brown exactly.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Outstanding movie.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, going back to this hard knocks thing at the combine,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the night before the wide receivers work out, this.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: Is before we see any of them.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: You're talking to your fellow coaches and scouts and being like,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I was up all night watching Elite Neighbors that I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: love Scott so great. Then the second point it's like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you see Neighbors, and then the final.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Episode you're like, I spooked.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: To coach Saban, he said, two players are guys that
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just terrorized him, brock Bowers at Georgia and Neighbors at LSU.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It felt like wire to wire Neighbors was your guy.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You deny on him, now you got him in the building,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: talk about your love for him in the pre draft
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: process and what you've seen now that he's here.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was some of my first exposure.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: You know, you're getting done with the season, doing some
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: end of the year things, and then you know all
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: the scouts are way ahead of you, so you bring
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: your computers. You start watching guys, and I started watching him,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: and I just kept watching him.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: I didn't watch a whole lot of other players when
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: I was there. I watched them near all his tape.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because you love the style that he plays with
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: the competitive spirit. He's big, physical, he made plays down
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: the field, catching runs, So kind of got a little
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: addicted to watching, you know how he played in a
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: competitive obviously league. And then you know, the more you
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: watch him and you go back and you look at
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: different things. You know, he was a guy that you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: was obviously high on my list and our list as
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: the process went on. He's he's done a good job
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: since he's been here. He's picked things well, picked up
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: things well, and he's had a good start day.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's this cool delineation in the episode where he's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a talker, he wants the ball, and I think you say,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: like there's a difference between being selfish and there's just
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: having been a dog.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and this guy, like we're gonna lean on.
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: He's a dog.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: He's not a talker. He's not a deva like this
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: a guy who just is competitive as hell.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: He really is.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: And again, I'm happy he's here. We've developed a strong relationship.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: You know, since he's been here through now, he sees
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: the game well for a young player. You know, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: asked him things that he likes or defenders that he's
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: going against. I think he's elevated the receiver room. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: guys have a lot of respect for him. I know
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: the quarterback does, so you know, I'm glad we have him.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Peter, And I remember a couple of years ago, coach
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: being at NFL honors and you're there, wife, and you're
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: all dressed up some very exciting nights, get your name called, like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: oh my god, I've made it. I've worked so hard
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: for this. Last year was not the year you wanted.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: And now we're in twenty twenty four. Where are you psychologically?
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: You've been all over the place in so many good
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: ways and so many challenging ways.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: How are you feeling?
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel great again. This is my twenty fourth
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: year in the National Football League.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: Amazing.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I've experienced, you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Know, the highs, the highs and the lowest lows, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: that's the NFL and and how you handle it and
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: get ready for the next season, that's what's the most important.
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: Have a lot of confidence in the people that we
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: have in our building, the staff members, the players were
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: growing each day. You know, I bought a brand new
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: suit for that for that night. That costs me a
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: lot of money. And now you know, I can't adjust
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: it right now because it's so big.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: So that's right now.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: So that's why I got to go ahead and put
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: it back on.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: But feel good.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: I've had a good camp, energized, look forward to getting
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: going here.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Can I can I go into kind of the psychology
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of the off season where all right, Tae Kwon's walking out,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna bring in run In, We're gonna bring
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in illumin or we're gonna bring in Brian. These guys
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: are on the lines, defensive line, offensive line, and they
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have a certain grit to them. Was that a statement
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: with here's how we're building our team for twenty twenty four.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: We're gonna protect Daniel, but we're.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Also going to bring in guys that'll get a little
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: dirty in the trenches.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, Then that's where it starts, as you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Peter offense and defensive line and having a mentality. But
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: you know, the skill guys we brought into and i'd
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: say this rookie class, obviously we.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Haven't played a game. They have some of that as well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: There's some grit, some toughness like that Tyrone Tracy.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know they've all contributed so far in camp.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: You know, we'll see how it goes once we start
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: these preseason games. But you know, toughness was something that
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: we really wanted to improve from the year before.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: I have to ask, as you mentioned it, Dan Campbell
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: is here.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: You guys are practicing again.
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: You guys got a lot of history.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: You straight upset.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: I got a lot of Dan Campbell's stories back.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: In their day.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: Give us one DC story when maybe you knew he
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: was a little different.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah it was.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: You know, Tony Sprowno got rest of soul. Yeah, I've
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: said this before. He's like, I have a young guy
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: that has played that I think will make a tremendous coach.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: You don't have to If you don't.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Want to hire him or recommend hire him, that's fine,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: but I'd like you to talk to him. So I
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: sat down with him for the interview process, and within
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: five minutes, you know, he's out of breath, there's chairs
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: moving around, He's showing me all these techniques.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: And after about the first five minutes it went for
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: a while. I said, this is the guy. He's relatable,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: he's got a toughness about him. He's a hiccup, a coach.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: You know, he's a former player but sees the game
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: the right way. I really enjoyed my time with him.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: You know, power cleaner every morning watch. You know, it
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: looks like he can go out there and put it
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: on some guys right now. But great family, got a
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: great appreciation, have state friends for the years. So happy
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: for him when he got that opportunity. But you know
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: he's he was out of breath pretty quick in that interview.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: My last question for you, it's about this team here,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: this franchise, this season, in particular one hundred years the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: New York Giants. We always talk about the crown jewel
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: franchises of the league. You talk about all the Lombardi trophies,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: all the history, and how cool it's been to see
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of those faces here at the building even yesterday,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: having straight hand and Cruise and Sims and those guys.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Does it feel like this is a special season from
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: your from your cock bit like you're looking at do
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you know the overall significance knowing what this means to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: this franchise and to these fans.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I certainly respect that. Obviously historic. You know, my
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: focus is really on this year. Well, weak control but
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: have a tremendous amount of respect for all the people
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: that have come before us, our ownership group.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: You know again, you.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: See the guys that come out here and they've kind
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: of laid a foundation of some of those successful teams.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: But you know, our focus has to be on on getting.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Better, focusing on this year, doing the things we need.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: To do with respect to the past.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Sure sure Vikings week one, Vikings week one, Vikings week one,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: one o'clock start.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: I like that good preseason here, coach.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: We're wishing you the best of luck, and I'm gonna
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: disagree with you.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: I don't think you put the weight back on. I
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: think you are.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: This is the time it stays off.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Discipline. Man, you are not gonna yo yo. I will
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: put on the weight. I know I will every season.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You will not, though you are going to be discipline.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Then the Pilates place in y Coffin is gonna give
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you that one free class because you've only mentioned them
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: thirteen times in the last two weeks.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I'd appreciate that. I'd also take that bet On take
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the bet.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I'll take it, Beck too.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: We're gonna hear that Jerry Springer bell out in the
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: middle of practice today, A bunch of times thing. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So that's Dabele. I mean, you hear him. He's we
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: didn't really he wasn't looking to.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Talk about his physical appearance. I probably asked four questions
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: about it. Kyle asked the fifth one.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: At that point. He's like, all right, we talking about football,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: like I think we're good. He's not comfortable in that,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: but I will say this, he looks great. You're gonna
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: see him. It's gonna be a story. Obviously it already is.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: But I also think it's interesting what he says about
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: this team and what they really preach this year, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: it was toughness. So you bring in John Runyon, you
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: bring in Illumina, or you bring Brian Burns. These are
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage guys that might have been missing the
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: last few years. And you surround Daniel Jones and you
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: hope that he elevates. Really dug talking to daball, like
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I said, Another friend of the show is Joe Shane.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Our first year on this podcast, Joe Shane, the general manager,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: came on for the Giants. He was one of our
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: first guests and he was awesome. America knows him now
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: from Hard Knocks. It was cool to have him on
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: before practice also with no further ado. Joe Shane, the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: General manager of the New York Giants, talking about his
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: new squad in twenty twenty four.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We are here in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where I'm
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: joined by Kyle and we're joining with the general manager
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: of the New York Giants going into his third year
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: as the GM, mister Joe Shane.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: Joe.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Guys, we're thrilled to have you.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: We're now calling you smoking Joe Shane. After yesterday and
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: then all you're involved, Let's let's get into this. Okay,
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: yesterday everybody saw it around the world. Now it's it's
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: everywhere on the internet. Giants Lions have a joint practice
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: and there's many dust ups, fracases, everything. Hey, donny Brook,
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: like talk take us through yesterday's practice in that regard.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, last year we scrimmaged against Detroit for two days
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: and we didn't have there were no fights, there was nothing.
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: It was great.
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: Everything went smooth, and early on in practice there was
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: a couple of hits and things got.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: Heated early on. So yeah, I mean from my position,
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: I just want to.
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: Get good work and everybody come out of practice healthy.
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: That's the biggest concern for me, and that's why we're
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: practicing with Detroit. Like a lot of respect for Dan
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: Campbell and his staff, Brad Holmes and what they're doing
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: up in Detroit. So hopefully we don't have as much
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: extracurricular activity today as.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: We did yesterday.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: Now, there was another little part of this. Kyle didn't mentioned.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: There was a skirmish on the sideline, and there wasn't
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the security officer, it wasn't the offensive lineman, the general manager,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Shane you got involved and broke it up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: But I got scared when I see a man with
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: no helmet on the field.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: What happened?
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, again, we were doing a red zone period
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: and you know, our whole team was on one side,
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: theirs was on another. So I was right there by
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: the ruckus or whatever is going on. I was just
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: trying to keep our guys back. So I think got
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: a little bit of overblown in terms of my involvement,
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: and you know, I know my strengths and weaknesses. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: was just trying to keep our guys back. In no
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: way was I getting involved.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: That's never been seen, you know, Like we were joking.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: We were joking earlier, like you hanging on a cave
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: on Thibodaux.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Like or Jeff ben Gundy's leg. It's not like that.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: I thought maybe you would walk across the field and
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: challenge Brad Holmes to a fight, right, that's how you
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: do it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: So Brad's in the same boat as me. We just
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: want to get good work and get out of there healthy.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: And you did it.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: But I'm honestly Joe, like it's it's playing very well
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: for you in like the court of public opinion.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: It's just cool that you were there and not afraid.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: And you these are your players, you sign them, you
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: want to protect them, and you did.
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: I think it's cool, no doubt, no doubt. Again, I
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: just want to get out healthy.
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: I don't want somebody, you know, getta stupid to hit
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: somebody with a helmet on with your fist, things like that,
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: and guys can get caught up in the moment. And
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: you know, I was just trying to prevent anything like
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: new happening.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can I can I just geek out? Can we
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: talk about Malik neighbors a little bit. Yeah, I know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I know, there's.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Just like we have to be we have to temper
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: our expectations. You're a rookie.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: But like I just see it from Afar.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't been the Giants camp yet, it looks like
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: he's the real deal in practice.
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, No, he's uh, he's been really good. He's had
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: a good couple of weeks here. He did a good
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: job yesterday. Again, he keeps stacked good days together.
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: And it's it's it's what we saw at LSU.
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: I mean, he was a he was a dominant player
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: in the SEC and he's come out here. He's learned
• 23:13
  Speaker 10: the offense probably better than we expected. We're able to
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: move him around and he's he's he's handling a lot
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: right now and he's able to go out and execute.
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: So yeah, it's definitely encouraging where he is right now.
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: Hey, and I don't mean to bring up the fracases,
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: but I'm gonna do this constructively.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Daniel Jones is being talked about too, Okay, because the.
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: Guy in the red jersey, the franchise quarterback, is in
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: their shoving defensive lineman and showing fear. And he's got
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: he's got a beard, now showing no fear. He's got
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: a beard.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: People online are like, wow, Daniel Jones coming up differently.
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: Obviously you don't want them to get hurt. But Peter
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: and I agree that it was a moment for Daniel Jones,
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: like for the fans, for the teammates that I'm here
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: to fight too, and I got my guys back.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Like, how was that interpreted by you guys and the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: coaches stuff?
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the players definitely probably appreciated it. You know,
• 23:57
  Speaker 10: his teammates seeing him getting in there from from again,
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: from my seat and my perspective where I was, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 10: was like, get.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Out of there, get out of there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: You know, Red Jersey coming off in acl like, yeah,
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: We're got out of there. But you know, sometimes your
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: natural instinct kicks in and when your teammates need your help,
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: you know, that's your natural instinct to go help.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: And that's what Daniel did, and luckily he.
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: Got out of there, and again we just I just
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: want to get out of here healthy and get some
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: good work in.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You know, the Giants off season, obviously Saquon was the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: big headline that he's no longer here, but quietly, you
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: guys had illuminor you had Runyon, you had Motor Singletary,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: we're a weekend to practices. We've now got these joint practices.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: How are you feeling with the new addition so far?
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel really good.
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: And and Brian Burns, you know, we traded for him too,
• 24:37
  Speaker 10: and he's been really good in camp. But Motor we
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: had familiarity with from Buffalo.
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: Illumini or Runyon. They've they've performed very well. So all
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: three of.
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: Those guys what we expected to get in terms of
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: production and the way they look on the grass has
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: been really good. And not even that just from a
• 24:50
  Speaker 10: culture standpoint, who they are as people and what they
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: bring to the table as veteran players with leadership, you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: as we're trying to turn this around, you know, they've
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: been phenomenal.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: I just have to take it time. And it's Chris
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Hogan right there, the super Bowl winner. What are you doing? Chris?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Miami would have been Miami too. Yeah, I'm having a
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: great voice.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: We're in the middle talking to Joe family.
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: With me.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: What's up?

  Speaker 4: we love you guys.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Crazy the man dude like the Penn State mom myth
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: we love.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: This legend here legend Brian Dane.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the cut seven eleven.
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: He is always open, always open.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Hard Knocked tonight, here's our other star of Hard Knock.
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: So I promised we weren't going to bring it up,
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: but you mentioned Hard Knocks Joe.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: We know y'all. All you want to do is take
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: care of your family and come to work and do
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: your job in private.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: That's that's how you operate. You weren't allowed to do that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: It was Look, it's forced upon you. You guys don't choose.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: You were in the show a lot talking about really
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: really important private things on television.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: What was that experience?
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: Like, Yeah, going through the process that had never been
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: done before.
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: So you get used to the cameras and you just
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: it's business as usual, not knowing what the end products
• 26:03
  Speaker 10: gonna be.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: So credit to NFL Films. I thought they did a
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: very good job.
• 26:06
  Speaker 10: I would say the fans and everybody would say, boy,
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: they showed a little.
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: Bit more than we thought they would.
• 26:11
  Speaker 10: And yeah, not not all of it was comfortable, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: there's some some conversations that are you know, you wish
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: they would remain private, but they were. They were part
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: of the show, and you know we had editorial input,
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: not control. So you know, there were some things that
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: were I was like, I'm not real comfortable with that,
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: but you know it was in the show. But I
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: think all in all, NFL Films they did a great job.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: You know, when you're doing it too, you have a
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: lot of private conversations leading up to the draft or
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: free agency on strategy and you're always worried about as
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: somebody from you know, it is again to get out,
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: and they didn't you know, the confidence and trust that
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: we had an NFL Films and they had in us.
• 26:39
  Speaker 10: You know, I think it came out well, you know,
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: the five episodes I thought were really good.
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: And again it was a dead media cycle.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: And at that time when it came out, so you're
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: on vacation and everybody's critiquing everything that you're doing.
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: It was dead.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: And then you guys went on it right to light.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And it was like a supermarket recognition like where are
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: we at air airport?
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: Recognized? Yeah, no, it was good out of the country,
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: hats under the radar. You know, that's how I prefer to.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Be so so listen regarding sake one, you are the
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: kind of guy in this organization will say, you know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: we wish him nothing but the best and all that,
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: but really not really because you don't want him to
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: have a good access this year on the football field
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: of the Eagles, Like that's a rival he's going to.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: He's coming into met life. I think it's week five
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: or week six, like pretty early.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: What is that going to be like on that game
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: day for you and coach Dab's seeing Saquon I'm in
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: the Eagles playing against you.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it'll be tough.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: Always done for the franchise, the number two pick, you know,
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: it has a lot of production here and he's a
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: great kid.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: Like I love Taquon. Again, there's there's a business side
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: to it.
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, that's why I told him, I wish you
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: the best of luck except twice a year, and again,
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: you can't resign everybody and where we are and building
• 27:42
  Speaker 10: the team and is. As much as you like to
• 27:44
  Speaker 10: keep everybody, that's just not the reality of the situation.
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: So yeah, wish him luck other than two times.
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: A year when we play him.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: The cool deal is about this season. It's the one
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: hundredth year of the New York Giants. It's a big
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: initiative here. Yesterday I practiced Strahan, Victor Cruz, Phil Simms.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of the legends are showing their face.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: This feels like a season of significance for this organization.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: Do you carry that weight as well?
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: Absolutely absolutely.
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: And I love coming to work every day and you
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: see the history of the organization and you know some
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: of the greats that come out to practice, and my
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: son played in the NFL Flag Football Championship in Canton
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: and going through the Hall of Fame. Yeah, yeah, just
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: all the giants that are in the Hall of Fame,
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: and you know, just really cool.
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: And you know, I just this one hundred.
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: Season and being able to see how it was built
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: on hard knocks and then you know all the our
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: you know, the business side of the marketing is doing
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: for you know, the greats.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: That came before, you know, this team.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: You know, I just think it's a phenomenal time to
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: have the organization under the spotlight.
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: And you know, I'm looking forward seeing how we do.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: We are too, and we haven't seen him yet, but
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: we heard the head coach lost like a ton of weights.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah great, Yeah, he looks great. He looks phenomenal.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, awesome. Ready to win, he's ready to wain.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's taking plot. He's now he's big into that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, the big plot's going out.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: This Pilotate's place in has gotten such free we're gonna
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: be wearing a patch on our shirts.
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Like.
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm hoping he's getting thirty times. I
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: hope he's getting some free set that the marketing they.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Exactly exactly before we let you go.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones season, let's call it what it is, like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: he's got a he's got to deliver.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: How are you feeling about DJ as we head into
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: this twenty twenty four campaign.
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel good about him again. He had a
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: really good day yesterday. He stacked some good days together
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: last week. And again it's it's only natural with the
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: position to to have a little russ when you're coming
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: back off in HL and you know, behind an offensive line.
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: He didn't take any team reps this spring, so early
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: on he's getting used to, you know, the receivers, the timing,
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: some of the stuff we're doing offensively along with the
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: offensive line.
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: So I think he's really.
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: Progressing in the right direction and you know, I think
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: with the you know, the upgrades the offensive line and
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: some of the offensive weapons, you know, we're expecting big.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Things when you've got when you've got Dave's going like, yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: we could trade up for Jada and Jayden Daniels or
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you got you know, Mike Kafka saying, I like Drake May,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: like I know, Daniel Jones is a private guy, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: he's install learning. He's focused, Like do you go out
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: of your way to say, hey, there's gonna be stuff
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on this, like just do your job and everything's gonna.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Be on that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think whichever, maybe episode four when I was
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: talking to Chris Mary, I mean, that was the exact
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: conversation I had with Daniel and you know Dave's and
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: I think the communication with the players and shooting him
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: straight is very important, so so they're not surprised door
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: you know, caught out of the you know, I'll mentioned
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: Daniel going to the cafeteria and seeing one of those quarterbacks,
• 30:11
  Speaker 10: So we just wanted to be upfront with him. And again,
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: some of those conversations were early March. Daniel wasn't even
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: running at the time. So again, every patient reacts differently
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: to start of threes, and we didn't know if they
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: were going to be set back, so we're going to
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: it through the process, doing our due diligence the best
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: we could. He understood that, did he love it, know,
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: but he also understood from our standpoint what we were doing.
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: So I think the open lines of communication, you know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: made it as smooth as it possibly could have. You know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: obviously it's a little bit uncomfortable, but you know, the
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: communication was good on both sides, and he understood where
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: we're coming from.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: So it's a very difficult challenge. You're a total pro.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: We always love you coming by. This is season one
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: hundred for the New York Giants. That s Joe Shane.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: He's a great GM. He's a beautiful family and had
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: a lot of opinions. Yeah, and if you see him
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: screaming careening into the field today to separate people, he
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: does that too.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Stay out of the mess.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: Okay, I'm staying out. I'm staying out.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Joe's always good. I think he's happy Hard Knocks has done.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: He came out pretty much unscathed. But those things will
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: come up if a doone'say has an amazing season and
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it wasn't neighbors. We'll say, well, they had all three
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: of them in there, and they chose neighbors over a dune. Say,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: if you know, God forbid, Saquon goes on and has
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: a two thousand yard season. We've got an entire series
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that showed that the Giants thought they were better off
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: without him and saving and spending that money elsewhere. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Joe's out there, is on a limb, but I feel
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: like he's pretty confident with this team. Now here's the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: PostScript of it all. After practice, everyone breaks it up,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the Giants and Lions. It was tempers, it was cool whatever,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: but it all chilled out. Lions going sign autographs, Giants
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: go and sign autographs. I head in to use the restroom.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I get stopped real quick and im and I'm like,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: all right, Joe wants to I see Joe Shane. I'm like,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: what's up. He's like, how funny is this? I had
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: seven missed calls while I was doing the interview with
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: you on Good Morning Football. I'm like, geez, what happened?
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Who was it?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Are you all right? He's like, I didn't know. I'm
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: feeling it vibrating. I'm freaking out. I check it out
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: and it's his friend, Brandon Bean is the GM of
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the Bills, just messing with him. He was on Live
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: TV and thought he would call him seven times just
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: to scare him. And he's like, yeah, that's Brandon, that's so,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: that's fun. Those are my guys. Those are the guys
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: that I get lunch with at the Combine every year.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It's that trio. It's myself, Brandon Bean and Joe Shane.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: And there's been sitting somewhere in Saint Joseph's College or
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Buffalo wherever his Bills are playing, and he's not worried
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: about the team. He's calling Joe Shane seven times because
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: he sees his friend on live TV. Some other sightings
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: today saw Sean Stellato, the agent to Tommy DeVito. Tommy
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: DeVito is still on this team and Shaan Stellato is
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: still very much involved. He made his presence known. He
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: had a giant Italian flag on the back of his shirt.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I can't make that up. So Jason mccordy and Devin mccorty, Jason,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: my dear brother, who hosted Good Morning Football for many
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: years with me, is no longer worth the show. We
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: had a great comp I will not spoil where you
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: will be seeing him this year, but you will be
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: seeing plenty of him during the season, and you will
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: also be seeing him on Sundays as he's doing a
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: CBS package and we'll be doing games for CBS on Sundays.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Happy for Jason. I saw Sean O'Hara, our dear old
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: friend from Good Morning Football. He used to always be
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: on set with us, no longer a part of it
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: as we're moving to La Sean was great chatting with
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: him for a bit. And overall, the vibes at the
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Giants camp are this, Hey, nobody's talking about us. That's
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: right where we want to be. And you sense that
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: everywhere you go. And this defense watching them against the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: number ones on Detroit Dexter Lawrence Okay, beast and obviously
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: you're looking at Keevon Thibodeaux, number five, flying off the edge.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And then they've got a really, really talented linebacker and
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Bobby Ocariki, who they absolutely love, who is not a
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: household name, but who I think led the NFC and
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: tackles last year. He's one of those dudes. So they
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: are a very good defense, you know, obviously, you pair
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: the rookie from last year Banks with what they added
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: in the two second and third round picks Drew Phillips
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: and Nubin from Minnesota who they're excited about, and then
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: just talent all over the place. On defense, the question
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: is can this offensive line block anybody? And can they
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: figure it out as far as it goes putting up
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: points on the board. My last interaction as I was
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: leaving the building, I popped into use the restroom. I
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: got a drink real quick. I had like a twenty
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: minute talk with Drew Locke. I'll tell you what Aaron,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I love Drew Locke. I love Drew Lock as much
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: as I want to get on the Daniel Jones. Like
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke, he just had a kid. He's got a
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: seven month old son. He was awesome. He's talking about
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the transition, he's talking about Dable, he's talking about the offense,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: and he's talking about how he just wants to do
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: the best job he possibly can. He's here to compete,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: he's here to do what he does. But like Drew
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Lock has won games in this league, and Drew Lock
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: has performed in this league, and I think any talk
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: of like a quarterback controversy has been completely nullified. Like
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: it is Daniel Jones's team. Everyone knows that, and I
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: think Drew's even like ready to understand that. But let's
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: just say if things get rocky, or if Daniel Jones
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Gotford Big gets injured, like I think Drew lockn win
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: football games for this team too. Yesterday I came out
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: of the Jets and I was like, that's a team
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: that can go to the super Bowl. That's a team
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that can win the AFC Championship. I don't feel that
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: way about the Giants. I honestly don't, But I think
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: the Giants will be improved and I am excited to
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: see what they get out of this. Molik Neighbors. This
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: could be a sensation or it could be the classic
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: case of a guy who lights it up in July
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and August gets hurt, doesn't do this, doesn't do that,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: doesn't adjust to the NFL.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: But like, I don't know if I've ever seen a
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: rookie just dominate a practice, especially with all those all
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: pros out there, like I did.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Milik Neighbors today, That's all I got. That is a
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: podcast that is two good interviews that is a head
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: coach a general manager. That is one of the NFL's
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: prime franchises in the New York Giants. But we also
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: got a lot of Detroit Lions today and I got
