 Good morning. It's Monday. What's up with everybody? But yeah, I mean, found out the first thing I was worried about was going to check on my teammate, someone that's part of my room, making sure he was OK. And his answer was he's going to be OK, which everybody knows. He's going to bounce back when it's time. He'll be working. And like you said, it's more opportunity. Every day there's opportunity. But when stuff like this happens, the door opens up more. And you just got to take advantage of it. And that's what the team expects you to do. And that's what I expect out of myself, you know? What changes would you decide the opportunity to get more reps? Nothing in the mindset that I can't overdo it. But at the same time, you can prepare more and, I guess, earlier. Those reps are going to be available earlier in the season. First game, everybody might be fresh. And those guys might be taking every snap almost. Now you take H out. That's a lot of empty snaps. I got to be past other guys. So you got to be prepared for that. And you know, just be ready. You know, you don't have time to learn, kind of like this, being a rookie season, actually playing regular games. You don't have time to learn. You just got to be ready and be ready to go out there and play. Do you feel like the work you've done put you in a position to be successful here right out of the gate? Yeah, I mean, I definitely do. I wish I could predict the future and tell you I'd go out there on Sunday and do this and that. And everything played out perfect. But the way I prepare, I feel like I'm ready. And I feel like the team and the coaches and my teammates think I prepare well enough to be ready. But you just got to take it day by day. And that starts with game planning for the Giants today. How much team are you looking forward to that season over in this chance? I mean, a lot. One, you know, it's the regular season. This isn't the preseason. You get to go out there and do it for real. Now these stats and these wins and losses are by your name and by the team the whole season. And they're what's going to determine the outcome of this season and it starts week one, long season. So I'm excited. I feel like I got taken away last year. So I'm just ready to get to it and play the games that really count. I came over, got to playbook and everything yesterday. So it's been going well, though, the first couple of days. We know about this team and how different it is. It helps them to really get a craft. You know, great culture. Team mates have been great. They've all been accepting and excited for me to be here. So it helps out the process of learning the scheme and learning all the plays and stuff. What do you think you're going to bring to this team? I guess saying that you're bringing the pitch for you. And what is that? Yeah, just bring depth at the position and play a major special team drill. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Yeah, it's been an interesting first three years, but it's been fun. And you've got to love the game for sure. How similar is the ask here to what group of ask here? I think it's pretty similar. And then as we get to know each other really well, hopefully that expands. You've got to concentrate. I'm not trying to harrow, so to speak. Yeah, definitely, definitely. You can never try to replace somebody fully. You just got to do, I got to play my game. Everybody ready to go. Everybody is ready to go ahead and go about to play. Vrable and the other coaches to have a great game playing for us. We go out and we play hard and we play Italian football. What did you say, Charles? What happened? No, just talk to him and know about the process. It's going to be a process that's truly going to be one of those. Each person is different. Each person's body is different. So the stuff that I went through, he may go through. He may not go through. But at the same time, it's just one of those things you've got to take on with your head up high. You can't go in with your head down, feeling sorry for yourself because at the end of the day, it'll make you a breaker. You've got to make sure you go out there and don't make it. I know you're hitting it already, but how difficult for the front forward, you guys have talked all of some about being together, being out there now, what about the other guys? Yeah, man, it's a bummer. Wanting to stay together, everybody wanted to be on the same page. Didn't that happen? But man, it's part of football, it's part of the game. I don't doubt he will come out and make sure he dominates the next year he's back on the field. You feel like you'll be a marked man of opposing offenses trying to keep you off the quarterback with Harold who's not gone and not there on the other side? Yeah, for sure, but that will be professional for him. That's why we're professional athletes. We've got to go out there and everyone got to make ways to make plays. You said that it either made you a breaker for you, going through that experience, how did it make you? Man, it just teaches you about diversity throughout the whole process. It teaches you about, man, it's going to be really and truly, 10-8 says, a whole life lesson, not just for football, but in life in general. Family, yourself, your mental state as a human person. Sometimes you have a day when you want to give up. Sometimes you have a day like, is it still going to be the same? But you just got to fight through and get to the end of the tunnel, and once you're done, everything will work out. Do you go through any PTSD or anything like that when you see one of your boys go through an injury that so much like what you went through? Oh, for sure. Knowing exactly what happened to him and how it is, man. We don't wish that upon nobody. Back in the days, that injury was career ending. It still gives people that mindset when it happens. They're like, maybe it's not going to be the same. But now the technology these days, the rehab these days, everything is way better. So no guys are about to back faster than they ever have. A lot, a lot. Yeah, it's fun. They're excited to get back and play football again. Grateful every day to be able to play this game and practice. Fortunate to be on a good team and a good locker room. Guys, welcome me back and excited for me to come back to from this injury. I'm just sure how much you've heard about it. I mean, there's people outside of a certain amount of doubt this way to sort of cover them. I mean, it's going to be a tough one. I'm just going to say congratulations to the guys right here that you can do a lot of good. Good. I mean, we're not worried about any of that outside talk. We just out here trying to play our game, win football games, do our job. When the ball comes our way, exceed expectations and really just control what we can and keep this room dominant in this team on the right track. Does the injury to Harold put any more pressure on your side of the ball? No, but I would say it's very unfortunate for his injury. Just whenever guys get injured and miss the season, it's a long battle being torn by ACL last year. Really just need guys around them to just lift them up. Guys who've been here are going to have bigger roles, play for a hero, play at a higher level. But I think it hurts his team. But I think we just got to pick up our standard and play at a higher level. I'll try to bring it fast for you. What are you looking to get at? Win. Personally? Personally? Yeah, personally, win. Junipero, two players in the season opener. You have a relationship with the Dory. Yeah, I've been cool with the Dory. I've been talking to the Dory since high school. Train with them every now and then in the off season. When we get back together in LA, a great player, a very athletic, going to be a fun matchup playing against him. How much are you looking forward to that matchup? Very fun. It's something we trained at in the off seasons. Going against each other, running routes, being able to do so in a game with our history. It's going to be fun. And it's going to be just a fun matchup. Him being a quick player and myself as well. Victor Bull, but I picked here for a couple of reasons. One, I love the coaching staff here. Jason and Craig were with me the whole time throughout the draft process in terms of communication and stuff. So I really value that in the whole process. Brett, what did you learn from him? What did he do? Did you pick up a knuckleball maybe here or over there? Yeah, no. I learned a lot, honestly. Most of the stuff that I learned from Brett was just how he handled himself. I have a lot of respect for Brett and what he did. And just seeing how he handled his practice routines and how he practiced holding and just some of those little details like that, how he carried himself, those are kind of the stuff that I took mental notes of, picked up, and hope to have in my game. What did he tell you before maybe when he got the news himself and when you were going to be the guy? Yeah, he wished me luck. He said congrats. And we talked the other day too. I mean, I told him going forward. I hope this is a great relationship that we have. I learned, like I said, I learned a lot from him. And I have the utmost respect for Brett. And so yeah, I think it was a good communication. What was it like, obviously? He's a very popular guy around here. Yeah. Been here for a long time. Competing with a guy like that and then winning. What is that like? Yeah, it's an interesting experience, I got to say. It wasn't something that I was used to. Obviously, when I went to Colorado State, I didn't have much competition going in there. And so competing, this was the first time that I actually had to compete for a spot. So it was definitely different for me, a different experience. But I thought that overall, coming in, competing with Brett, it was great, truthfully, just to learn from him and also compete against him. You weren't just playing the game with the 81-year-old against Vanity last year, is that right? Yes. In practice, what's the first you've ever punted one hang time in a year, do you know? Honestly, I think the first I've ever hit it was like 72. I've hit a couple 5-8s when I was in my pre-draft training. But yeah, so those are just a couple of the ones that I've hit.
