 Does it like Kevin to almost make it all the way to the week of the game and suffer a blow like Harold? I mean, it's definitely unfortunate. Hater for him, you know how hard he's worked. And I know he prides himself on being able to play every single game. And obviously, to have an injury like that right before game week is pretty tough. And I think it's a thing that, you know, understand as an organization, we have to look forward and keep pushing. But, you know, as players to have a season in the injury like that, especially before the season starts, I don't really want to gloss over that, man. I think Harold is a great player. He's been with us for a long time. He's put in a lot of work, has had a lot of production here. So like I said, just hate it for him and just praying for him and his family, because there will be dark times coming ahead as far as for him mentally and make sure I'm reaching out to him to make sure that, you know, he's staying mentally engaged. He's not getting too down on what happened because, you know, God works in mysterious ways. And we never know in these type of moments, you know, why these things happen, but like I said, man, it's just unfortunate. And I'm always going to be reaching out to him to make sure that he's good mentally. How does the team kind of reset itself or reload after such a significant injury? Yeah, I mean, like I said, I mean, it's kind of crazy. But as an organization, you have to keep pushing forward. And, you know, we always preach over here next man mentality, but it's a reality and it's going to be tested right now. Obviously, Weaver, who's have a really good preseason, two really good preseasons. I know he's looking forward to his opportunity to get out, looking forward to his chance to get an opportunity to go out there and make some plays. Ola came here from Pittsburgh looking for more opportunities. Other than being a special teams player, he's going to get his chance as well. So within the loss of Harold opens up opportunities for other guys. So that's just how we have to operate it. And we're not going to be looking and I'm not going to ask or the coach not going to ask these guys to be more than who they are or try to replace Harold's productions to go out there and be you. And I think that would be good enough. As much as Harold has played in terms of snaps last few years, it's probably not one guy who can step in and do everything he did, right? I mean, guy had 12 seconds last year. I think it's going to be not unrealistic, but I think it's going to be hard to ask these guys to put up Harold's production or whatever. Obviously, we want them to. Obviously, I want Weaver to have 20 sacks this year or Ola, whatever may be. But like I said, a guy like Harold, the production he's had, the durability he's had, it's going to be harder to replicate that or replace it. So we're just going to ask these guys go out there and go have fun and take advantage of their opportunities. So having the way he hops around, stacks, drops, that's it's awful personal, awfully personal guy, yeah? Yeah, I mean, like I said, Harold can play our base personnel, our sub personnel. He's able to drop in coverage and also rush the pastor. So that's very valuable for a guy like him. And that's why he got paid and got the contradicted guy. The movement will come in here today at the start of game week. I'll talk about more just season now. Yeah, I'm juiced up, honestly, I've been waiting for this for a couple of weeks. Obviously, training camp, you're trying to stay in that training camp mode, but over this weekend, being able to reflect some time with family. Just telling my family it's time for me to kick in the mode. I'm not going to be taking too many calls and texts and all this. If you got any issues, kind of just give it to my wife and she'll pass it along. But yeah, I'm just super excited that the season's about to start and we got the Giants going up here week one, so I'm excited. Even without Harold, what is maybe this front capable of? Even though you guys are losing such a key guy, you still have some guys up front. No, I still think we're capable of great things. And we're going to be expecting great things from this front seven or just from this defense period. So as an organization, we have to continue to move forward. And there's going to be a next man up mentality. But I hate to say it, but just because Harold went out does not mean that we're going to be looking at ourselves like, hey, we're not going to be able to be the type of team or the type of defense that we were capable of. We're going to expect, and we've always expected, for backups to play like starters. So that's going to do the expectation going forward. What about a little scout team at the beginning of your career? And how hard was it to say, like, I'm running this card, how am I going to make an impression doing exactly what's mapped out for me? Yeah, my rookie year, I was definitely on a scout team defense. And honestly, you read the card, but for me personally, I was going out there trying to make plays. I mean, sometimes they'll tell us during certain situations like, hey, don't pick the ball off and stuff like that. But I really wasn't caring about that. I was trying to go out there and get better myself. And I made a couple of picks against Marcus when I was on a scout team. So, and I think it was about like, obviously you want to take care of guys, but you know, being on the scout team or practice squad, you're wanting to, this is your only real opportunity to make a name for yourself and show the coaches that, hey, I'm ready to play. I want to step up. So I tell the young guys and go out there and make plays. Like don't go out there and be timid and do exactly what the car says or I'm not telling you to go against what the coach say. But hey, you know, your film is your resume. So go out there and put some good stuff on film. How do you play better this year in the opener than you did a year ago? Don't do what we did last year. I'll tell you that. No, I mean, this is two totally different offenses. Arizona was definitely a temple offense. They did some things that we're not used to in Calamari. They did a really good, great job with their receivers making plays. So I think for this game right here, obviously, and I've talked about it in the locker room last week, I think it's going to start with 26. We're going to have to stop the run, but also stop a lot of the QB runs as well. I mean, Daniel Jones is very similar to Josh Allen. He's not as big as him, but he's broken ADR runs. This guy can really run, especially when he gets in the red zone with things that have some QB run games, short yardage, things like that. We're going to have to be great tacklers, obviously with Seyquan, but also with Tony and that rookie Robinson. I think he's a pretty good receiver who was at Kentucky. I think he's going to be real good. A lot of shifty guys, really good rock runners. And then at the end of the day, it's week one. So we can sit here and watch a bunch of Buffalo film from their offensive coordinator, or Dave Bo, who's the head coach now, and watch those things. But they're going to do stuff that we haven't seen before. And I think we just have to make sure that we're keeping our composure on the sideline and be settled when we might have to make some adjustments on the sideline, because at the end of the day, it's always week one at NFL, so you can expect anything. How much more cognizant of that do you have to be at week one, though, when you have a team like Buffalo that's had the turnover, coaching staff-wise and personnel-wise? Yeah, I mean, that's one thing that I always find it not necessarily tough, but when you're watching film, especially me watching film is during the off-season and week one, you really only can watch the personnel groupings or the guys that's there. But as far as the offense, you have to watch old clips of Buffalo and all these other teams. And the same thing on the offense, I think they're defensive coordinators from Baltimore. So they're watching Baltimore film. Because like I said, you don't really have a menu or as far as this team or what they did last year. So I'm big on watching personnel first and foremost, but as we come together as a team, we're going to watch a lot of Buffalo stuff. We've been watching Buffalo stuff as well and some of the stuff that they're trying to, they carried over in the pre-season. So, I mean, that's the beauty of week one. You don't really know what you're going to do. I honestly think that it's going to be more about us trusting the stuff that we do. We're not going to go out there necessarily thinking about, hey, let's be prepared for everything that's like, as a defense, I feel like we have to look at ourselves like it's offense. We're going to go out there and attack. We're not just going to go out there and sit back and wait to see what they're going to do. Then we react, then we're going to attack the entire game and try to set the tempo with so much newness. Like how much of a filling out period do you have in that opening game? Yeah, it's going to be a little bit, especially early in the game. Because like I said, you know what they did in Buffalo, but you have to see if what they did in Buffalo is going to exactly match what they do week one in the first couple of drives. We know office coordinators are going to have like their first 15, first 20 play scripted. So I'm expecting anything within those first 15. Then usually after that, play started to repeat themselves. I know Buffalo, like they ran a lot of three level concepts, especially early in the game and they repeated themselves towards the end of the game. So that's going to be biggest thing is we're getting off the field in these first two or three drives, really getting to the sideline, looking at the tablet, seeing the formation, seeing the rock combination that they're running and understanding, hey, we're getting a second half. More than likely these players are going to repeat themselves. Say it again. When's the last time you thought about Cincinnati? Probably every time y'all asked me about it. Honestly, I don't really think about it. Yeah, you asked me about it. Maybe meet somebody on the street. They say something about it or my family or anything like that, but it's, you know, personally, I don't really think about it that much. We're gonna be this close to them or we'll back up. Oh, I need to be there. Hi, Teresa, I know. Good point. Hi, Teresa. Good morning, Mike. Mike, with the injury to Harold, the one advantage of last season, at least you all have plenty of experience at getting that next man up and ready to go. We've done that since, you know, I mean, since I've been a part of playing this game. That's, you know, it's unfortunate. It's disappointing. Feel terrible, obviously, for Harold and the work that he's put in and his value to our football team, but we have to move on and, you know, get everybody ready to go win. The way he moves around, Mike, in terms of the flexibility, versatility, is that the hardest thing maybe to replace? No, I mean, we're looking for ways to try to, you know, get started here, continue with the preparation, with the Giants first and second down, and, you know, we'll see if, you know, those are some of the same things that some guys can do, and if not, we'll have to make adjustments. Talked about how good a camp Rashad Weaver had and in the preseason and all, how much of an opportunity is this for him to step up and play an increased role now? Well, I mean, I think he was gonna have a, you know, find a role for him somehow. I think that he was, you know, like you mentioned, continuing to improve and had shown, you know, some really good things in the preseason, his ability to disrupt the football, get his hand on a football, sack the quarterback, have some impactful play. So, you know, we'll see where Weave is and hopefully, you know, he can help us. Tell us what a newest guy is. What do you like about him? What do you tell a new guy coming into the room? Well, try to pay attention and focus and, you know, there'll be some things that we do similar to places he's been, you know, coming from Pittsburgh. There'll be some things that we'll do differently. You know, I know he's been meeting a lot and trying to get, you know, caught up to speed and we'll see, you know, where he fits in defensively and in special teams. What do you guys like about him, Mike? And do you remember, I guess, playing against him last year? Well, we'd evaluated him coming out, you know, probably, you know, gives us a little flexibility there. With maybe the body type and the skill set. You know, doing some different things and maybe Weave or David has kind of done. So we'll see what it looks like here in the next couple of days. Got more to get to stay around with Gordon over the last three days? They've met, you know, I mean, we're excited that, you know, to add some of these guys to our roster here. Josh being one of those guys. That's had some great interactions with him so far. His professionalism, he seems like he's excited to be here. We'll see where he is as we get to the end of the week. Prepare for this attack. How much do you look at Buffalo and how much does, I guess, different personnel change your expectations of what they'll do? Well, I mean, I think that there is a base. I'm sure there's things that Brian will want to do that has been, you know, brought with him from different places. Alabama, you know, Buffalo, New England. Certainly the influence that Mike's had being in Kansas City, so these guys have been around good offenses. You know, we'll have to be ready for everything. It's the opening week. Mike, go back to when you guys brought in Brewer. How much, how important were the endorsements you got on him from your friends who were there with him in Texas State? Well, I think that that's, you know, a large part of it. I mean, I think we saw, you know, certainly try to have a vision for the player to see where he could help us, you know, having stretch, you know, have been there and, you know, and Everett and those coaches that we knew, you know, I think it was a no-brainer really for us to try to add him to our roster after the draft. Availability being as big a quality as it is, how much do you guys factor in Gordon's lack of availability over the course of his career? Well, those are things that, you know, really are out of our control. I mean, I think we'll look at how he handles, you know, each day and if he is, I mean, we would anticipate him being available to us, but I wouldn't look at anything in the past and we're excited to work with him and see how he develops within our offense. For the sake of Juan Barclay, show you. Well, I mean, you just, you know, you look at the explosiveness, the speed, everybody's at the point of attack. You know, we understand the strength in which he runs at. You know, I hope that we don't have too many, you know, one-on-one tackles. I hope that there's some more guys at the football when he has it, you know, they've got other guys that are good with the football, you know, Tony, you know, Robinson, you know, the quarterback is gonna have it, you know, they've run him in the past, he can run and he will run. So, you know, those are all guys that we're gonna have to be able to make sure and tackling will be, you know, critical like it is every week, but, you know, I think in this first week that just, you know, our fundamentals really show out. Fundamentals, I mean, how far does that week one guys hadn't played a lot of them in a long time? What can you do in the practice field? Well, that's why we practice. I hope that it isn't, you know, those are things that we're practicing, you know, all the time in training camp. That's what you do to get ready for the season. What are the elements of Gordon's game that you guys like, bringing them in? I don't think he's big. I think he can, you know, he's got a great catch radius, shown athleticism. I know he was happy with the performance in week one last year. Do you take anything from that experience in terms of how you've handled the last couple of weeks or this week to try and make it different? Just hope that we can play and coach better. I mean, we turned the ball over, didn't do a very good job. Taking care of the football, you know, couldn't really, you know, stop them much. And it just, you know, we got beat. You've got, if all your camp, your players were much more available though than a year ago, doesn't that go into the preparation and how you feel going into this game? Yeah, I mean, I think that we're healthier now. I mean, we'll see. I mean, that this is just the first week. And we kind of see who's there and then make decisions on the 48 man roster as we work through the week.
