 How are you feeling as you're recovering? I mean, you've been out here day in, day out. Would you like to play Thursday night, or is it just you're following the plan? Just following the plan, just trying to go as needed. I'm trying to get a lot of working out here at practice with Ryan, Coach Rob, really just trying to get a lot of work in and practice and really push it and challenge it, draw every drill in every period. You've gotten to work with a lot of quarterbacks. Now working with Ryan Tannehill, see him out here again, so the monster is how he wants to bounce and everything. How has that experience been for you? Is that something that's kind of unique to what you've experienced before? Yeah, it is. I would say a very good quarterback, very good leader for our offense, very accurate. One thing that's big is he's out here working with us, grinding with us, out here coaching us at practice, out here after every rep coming to talk to the players even today, hopped in our conditioning with me and trailing just to get some running in. Just one of those quarterbacks who just want to compete, want to be there for his team. He shows that in every aspect of his work. Is it hard for a guy like Traylin to maybe be encouraged that he ran some routes that got him open even though he may not have gotten the ball and had any production? Yeah, I mean, it's preseason. It's one of those, it's a scrimmage. You're going out there and challenging, learning about yourself and learning the speed of the game and how it goes. Obviously he's working, he's getting open, but that's what we got to just keep working at is picking up the speed, picking up the tempo, being at the right spot at the right time and when the ball finds you, you got to be ready. What do you think he did? I think he did well. His first game, getting out there, just getting some reps, played a lot, just picking up the speed of the game. You mentioned how much you've mentored and kind of helped guide him, especially in these early stages. How much pride do you take in that being a veteran and also giving back that mentorship? Really just a player who has to play for us. I mean, every receiver in our room is having a key role, having a big part of our team success and we need everybody, and I'm just talking to all the guys and even trailing, just how urgent he has to be in his routes, our practice really be out here working with the purpose, his routes, weight room. It's the long season, but it goes fast and every rep matters and counts. You may not get every rep in game or practice, but that's why you have to really lock in and hone your craft when you can. It's a black row, I guess, watching. Leadership role as a veteran in that room. How important is it for you to take that leadership role as a veteran? I mean, it's just, like I said, it's for our team success. I think if you, if you're lifting up everybody in our whole room, if somebody gets hurt, you don't need it to be a drop-off when someone goes down. You want it to be a high level of a standard in our room. So really we're just pushing everybody to be at the same standard. And I think that's just, what I take of my leadership is just having everybody play to a high level. Robert, in terms of, What's it like when you watch maybe the pre-season games like Thursday night and do you see things that you mentioned, the young guys, what you saw in the game or did they come to you during the course of the week? Yeah, I mean, it's still early in the week after the game, just really getting a chance to break it down and see a little bit of the clips. But just talking with the guys, just telling them to play fast, trust it, it was some times where your players overran their window in some zones, but that's just comes with experience. You got to know where the zone is, when to hit it. And it comes with timing and practice and reps in pre-season games. What do you look forward to most coming up with the joint training camp practices this week? The intensity picking up for myself, it's another week to get better. It's going to be more intense than what we have here. We're just another team trying to compete and just another step to get me ready for a week one. Robert, what do you notice from Kyle Phillips, maybe not only on the field, but maybe in kind of meetings too, he seems to be a very precise route runner. What have you kind of taken from him? Yeah, I would say he's maturing as a pro, as he goes on coming in. Obviously, he knows how to be a receiver, knows how to be a shifty, knows the techniques in the craft and now is really just seeing him grasp our offense and be at the right spot at the right time, being able to work a little faster. He's a shifty receiver, knows how to get open. Now he's just finding the rhythm to work on our offense and know when to get open at a certain time, but really just seeing him grow, maturing his offense and really make plays here in practice. I was going to ask you about racing in that too, over the last couple of weeks, it seems like he's really taken on. What do you think? Yeah, I think just keep being himself, making plays. He's going to be a big-time receiver for us, trying to go up and attack the ball, going down and get it vertically. Had a nice play in the game on a deep one, really just asking him to be a self-run, pass guys, be big, physical, and just go up and get it when he can. You had a couple of those broken up today. D.B. also made a play, but what kind of coaching points do you have for a guy like that when he's trying to haul one in? Yeah, it's a tough one. I mean, guys are here competing like Rob said. I mean, they get paid too. That's their job to break up plays. It was a great play by him. Just into the football, trying to go up and get it. Great play by the D.B. to punch through his hands. But like I said, it's a great play on both sides, but what I'm telling Racy is you got to have it. That's the big paydays right there. You go up and get it, contested catches. Being able to go up and snatch the ball from a defender is what we need and allows big plays. A lot of that extra. Is that something that you've done throughout your career, or is that something that, you know, with Coach Rob Moore that you started doing now? Yeah, it's something that I've always done. Been working with just the passing game, being able to get reps. So I think sometimes you may see me down here with RT and hoop running routes, but really just trying to take reps and get an extra rep any chance we can. It's big work when Rob being able to get some one-on-one. A lot of releases stuff, but really just it's just extra reps being able to get in when we can during the special team periods. How much does his experience, when I haven't been there, I've done that. Does that make it a lot easier for you to digest what he's imparting upon you? Yeah, I mean, that always helps having a coach who's been a player who actually lived it and not just teaching the lines in a playbook or something like that or the rules in a rulebook. Sometimes they come down to playing football and getting open. And I think that's one big thing that Rob allows is us to sometimes be a natural receiver of guys playing outside, slipping inside. Really just allow us to be ourselves and play our game, but being able to work in the rules of our offense. You've come so far in your rehab at this point, seems like maybe game actions the last thing for you. How antsy are you to get that action whenever it comes here? I'm just ready to go. I mean, I'm counting the weeks, football is back. I mean, everybody's watching the games and stuff. I'm really just excited to get out there on the field and just get an opportunity to play fast, play in real contact and see what happens. You're watching tape of Giants already. I mean, maybe looking at opponents you'll be facing this year or do you do that throughout the offseason? Maybe. Maybe. Never too early, I guess? Yeah, never too early. I mean, we always, we know who we're coming out with week one, everybody knows. Just trying to get an edge whenever you can. You got opportunity to not play in the preseason games. Just got to capitalize on the time, being able to watch your opponent's schemes. But that's the one we're all waiting on. Hi, Teresa. My sister's going to get you tomorrow happy birthday. Hello. So thank you. You're welcome. You should try some of that. I was telling these guys that we're making fun of you that they should try some of that. Your wide receiver room, the competition from the top to the bottom, what are you, it feels like there's, that you're getting exactly what you'd like out of that room. Yeah, I mean, I think that the competition has been good. I think the guys that are working inside, you know, Kyle and then Mason, you know, Terry's working in there a little bit outside. Racy's been doing some good things, obviously, you know, Nick and Woods and it has been, you know, Dez has shown up, Dez showed up today and, you know, it's just, you know, trailing is continuing to improve and watch the film and went through that and tried to focus on some things today. So, you know, we'll see what it looks like. You talked earlier on camp about looking at all the routes, whether Guy ends up targeted or not. Was trailing winning some in both more and open? Well, you know, that's something that we actually talked about today after, you know, a rep and maybe seven on seven, maybe the bunch drill or something that, you know, you can't control when you get the ball. All you can do is worry about getting open. And, you know, there was times and, you know, there was opening just when you look at the whole body of work, we talked about it and he realizes it has to be better. It's his first opportunity. But that goes for every receiver. You know, you can't control whether you get the ball. You can only focus on, you know, getting open. And then if you get the ball, you got to go make a play. You mentioned Dez. I mean, how's he doing from a consistency standpoint, you know, stocking, you know, with stock days? I mean, I think it's been okay, you know what I mean? It's, you know, today was probably something it was good to see down there in close quarters in the red zone and, you know, going and attacking a ball and we know how contested and tight those windows are going to be, you know, so it was good to see him do that. Comfortable with the amount of work the guys who are out there got? Well, we need to, we'd like everybody to be out there. You know what I mean? So whether they were or they weren't, we'd like to have everybody that's on the roster available and when they're not then the next guys have to step in and everybody's got to, you know, do a little bit more work. Mr. Passion, have you seen an increase in the sense of urgency for him? And if so, like, what's an example of that? Well, I mean, we targeted him down there. I've never seen him in a red zone, a big body and athletic guy. So I think that, you know, his willingness to go in there and block, whether that was on the second play of the game, you know, we had a six yard gain and, you know, it wasn't that he lacked urgency to get in there. It just, his technique kind of broke down and the guy threw off and they made a tackle for a six yard gain. We'd like to have him get in there, replace his hands and, you know, finish the guy or cover him up, but it wasn't that he lacked the urgency to go in there and try to get him. You know, he did and it was a good physical contact. Again, it just, he kind of lost a couple of seconds into the play. So I guess we could use that as an example. If there was urgency, it just, there wasn't, you know, the finish has to be better. I was saying that as opposed to last year, because I know that was... Yeah, I mean, they have to be able to block. I mean, we're going to have to be able to run the football. You know, we're going to have to help Derrick out. I mean, we know there's a lot of ways to run the football, but you know, those guys, you know, when we're successful in running the football, you know, receivers are usually getting in there and trying to help us, you know, get the safety. You complimented Nanny the other night. I mean, when a guy performs like that late, do you potentially give him some more looks early in games with a higher group, or what does a guy have to do to earn? Well, he only had a handful of guys. I mean, Bud didn't play, Harold didn't play. So whatever that leaves you with, four guys on the edge. You know, David, you know, see how it goes this week against Tampa and see if it earns him some more reps. I mean, it certainly flashes in his get-off when it's good, you know, it can help him. What's Jeff's not showing you that earned the reps that he's given? Well, I think he runs physical. He's done a nice job on special teams. Finishes when he doesn't have the football. I think he plays fast when he doesn't have the football and trying to go out and, you know, help somebody else. And, you know, the other guys, and we'll see where it is this week. Are you able to look at these joint practices as you would any other practice, or does that competitive part of you come out a little bit at points too? In what regards? Do you find yourself wanting to see a win on a particular rep if you've had a couple of bad ones, or are you keeping your sort of teacher headspace? Well, I mean, I think that we would like to win more than we lose, you know? And if somebody repeatedly shows that they can't perform, then we have to try to get somebody else, put somebody else in there, you know? But I hope they're as competitive as we can, and I hope that, you know, we're able to focus on the things that we're trying to focus on, improve, play with our techniques, with our style, but also play smart and make sure that we're staying up and, you know, taking care of them. And I would imagine that they would do the same for us. Mike, with the number of young guys that you have in the receiver court, how important is Robert Woods, both on the field and in the room? Well, his leadership has been great, you know, his consistency each and every day. Be able to work through things, talk through things, and, you know, provide Rob with an extension of a coach, so, you know, it's been great to have him. You let Bayard pick his two guys for that one final snap of that drill, a little bit of ownership there for them? Well, I mean, I think it's, you know, kind of figure out who he would want to go into a drill, last play of the game, or a goal line situation, you know, just to see who he would pick, you know? Sometimes, you know, ask Ryan to pick a couple guys, ask Kevin to pick a couple guys. Mike, you indicated yesterday that the QB2 spot is open. What will you need to see from either Logan or Malik these next few weeks to make your decision? I think that, you know, ball security is paramount, you know, the ability to function and run our style, but, you know, be able to create plays, be able to find the open guy, operate the line of scrimmage, get into our run game, or whatever the operation is at the line of scrimmage. So, you know, this week will be really cool to see against the new defense, to have to see it one day, make corrections, come back the next, you know, different coverages that they may see. Is it two different jobs in terms of the guy who comes in, if there's an injury in game, and the guy who might be game planned for a week, knowing he's starting? Well, I mean, I think, you know, that's yet to be determined, really. I think that, you know, if you lined up all three and you told me that one guy was starting, I mean, I'm sure that Todd and I and Tim and Keith and everybody that's involved, the offensive staff, we would have, you know, a game plan, you know, for that quarterback. And then, you know, like you mentioned, if somebody has to come in in game, you know, it's gonna be pretty much the game plan. We'll have some plays that are specific to them because we've carried them and worked on them previously. So I think it would be probably a mix of in-game and then, you know, if one quarterback was going that week, then we would probably cater it, you know, like we have in the past to, man, we know who this quarterback's gonna be, you know, what do we have to try to do to win a football game? How do you feel about Logan's camp so far, overall? Oh, I mean, I think overall, good. You know, I mean, I feel good about, you know, where he's at, I just think that, you know, he has to, and they all do, continue to take care of the football, you know, make the plays that you're supposed to make. We talk about that throughout every position, as opposed to trying to make something that's not there, whether that's a defensive player coming under, coming under a block or trying to go make a play, you know, just try to make good plays.
