Speaker 1 (00:00):
I saw after you had agreed to terms a report
that said that you wanted New York.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What is it you know in your vision?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
What is it about New York that you wanted and
you know and how do.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
You how do you see that?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah? I think just looking at the team, I feel
like we have a lot of good pieces on the team,
a lot of good pieces on the roster, and that
was really exciting for me to come in and be
able to contribute to that. Just looking up and down
the roster, I really felt good about the level of
talent that we have on the roster, So that was
big for me.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
You have anything to do with the city itself, though.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I mean the city obviously is it brings so much,
There's so much to enjoy from the fans, the fan base.
Obviously I played with Bobby in college and he's only
said good things. So it was just kind of a
combination of all those things. A city, but then ultimately
just being excited about this football team and the level
of talent I think that we have.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Thank you, Thank you, briandum leyby Boston, Welcome, thanks for
doing this.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Hey, how you doing good?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Did you have anything to do with Yvon Holland, Like,
after you agreed, did you.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Get do you know him? Did you get on the
phone with him?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Did you start recruiting him and saying like, hey, let's
build a great secondary.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
N I didn't have anything to do with that. I
know of Devon played against him in the Pac twelve
when he was at Oregon and he's a great player,
followed him throughout his career, so that was really exciting
to see that he was gonna be coming as well
just seeing him. We've always kind of communicated on the
phone and stuff Instagram, so yeah, that was cool to
(01:38):
see that he was gonna be here too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
And how about schematically?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Everything I read about you in New Orleans was a
lockdown like a man cover corner. Obviously, the Giants played
a lot of zone under Shane Bowen last year.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Has that schematic fit?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, I feel like I could play man or zone.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It happened at in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
We did play a lot of man bumping run coverage.
But I feel comfortable playing in his own scheme. Did
that in college a lot, So yeah, I really feel
good either way.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I'm talking Hey Paulston, welcome,
Hey are you doing?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Dan?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm doing well. Curious how are you doing? Where are
you at in your recovery from the broken FEMA.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah, I'm doing really good, man. I've been running, been spreading,
changing directions, doing everything and just really practicing to be
able to be ready when you know, all the activity start.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So you think you'll be ready for the spring pretty much.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I mean I've been doing everything, trainers directions and stuff,
so just kind of taking it day by day, but
feel really positive about that.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And last thing on that, what was it like going
in the free agency with that? Were you wirried or
hurt your market?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
How were you able to maybe convince teams that, like,
I'll be fine because obviously they can't bring it for
the physical.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And yeah, I mean just putting out videos and communicating
between my training staff and the different teams and stuff.
But felt really comfortable. And I mean, obviously I feel
like I've been a good in a good spot for
the past couple of months really, so I wasn't too
worried about that, you know, causing any disruptions back ups.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Probably convinced seems.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You were good, you know what I mean. I feel
like that was just a little cherry on the top
for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Thank you, Paul Schwartz and falls and how you doing?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Are you doing Paul good?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Very good. Your numbers would suggest that you are a
bull hawk. Would you agree with that description of you?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think for me, you know, catching your interceptions, making
players on the ball is very important to be able
to give the offense the ball back. So that's something
that I definitely pride on, pride myself on something I
really practiced as far as getting my head around even
just catching drugs in practice, trying to catch as many
balls as as possible because I just know how impactful
(03:54):
that can be for a team and to help the
team win.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Four second to last in the league in sessions.
Speaker 8 (04:03):
So was that a point of emphasis when they were
talking to you about bringing that and what is the
key to beating that?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's easy to say you're a bullhog. What is the
key to that?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think you just have to practice and visualize that.
That way, you're not surprised when the balls in the air, right,
so you kind of turn into the receiver A lot
of times, it's it's easy to kind of be shocked
that the ball's coming to you. So first off, just
expecting the ball to come to you and then when
you have an opportunity to make a play, really just
capitalizing on it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And did they did they stress that that something they
really wanted out of you?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, they just kind of highlighted the ball production and
emphasized that's something that's that's good and we want to
have on the defense.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Thank you, Thank you, Art Stable ten. Yeah, hey Paulson,
how you doing? Man?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Congratulate how you doing?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Art good?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I wanted to go back obviously. I don't know if
you want to go back, but you know, you get injured.
You're off to a great start this year. You know
how big of a season you probably looked at that.
You're a young guy, you're building towards that first big year.
How much do you learn about yourself over the next
couple of months, you know, mentally, did you get any
advice from guys that have been in the league, just
(05:15):
the idea of how do you reset and refocus to
get an opportunity like this and to prove that you
know you will get back to where you were as
an assending player.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, definitely deal with injuries. Every player has to deal
with it, right. Nobody wants to wants to go through
an injury, but reality of a situation, you play a
game and there's one hundred percent injury risk playing football.
So I think for everybody's just realizing the moment, realizing
that you will get back from it, and then just
(05:46):
shifting your focus from whether you're preparing for a game
and now your game really becoming just recovering your body.
So that's kind of what I shifted my focus on.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
The other thing would be just in terms of mentality
or a mindset.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Have you always been a guy wants to get up
their press and say you can't beat me.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And yeah, I think just pressing it makes it hard
on the receivers if you can disrupt their time and
disrupt the timing of the routes. So I've always just
kind of been in that mode a little bit. But
at the same time, have played in zoned schemes, have
played in all different types of schemes, So I don't
think I'm one dimensional, but I definitely do like to
press people.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Thank you, thank you, Ethic barts.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Going good good. He looked at this Giants team. Obviously
they're a young defense save by a lot of young pieces. Obviously,
you and Giovanni Rose young guys too. Was that something
that attracted you joined the youngs they could possibly grow
together under you know, SECS coordinator.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, Man, just looking at the defense as a whole.
Like I said, I think we just there's a lot
of talent up and down the roster and a lot
of youth as well, and so I think that was
just exciting to kind of come into and be able
to add to that.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
I was followed that.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Quat And obviously you've been to you about calls with Bobby.
What is that relationship like with you and him?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Bobby is like, uh, you know he was. He was
like my og when I came in the Stanford So
we got a real good relationship. We hang out, we
talked football, talk about ways to bet ourselves on the field.
So that was a good relationship for me to have
to coming into this organization.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Thanks, thank you outliner.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Hey Paulson, how you doing? Hey?
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Are you doing?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Pat doing well? Man? Thanks?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
When you were talking about signing here and now that
you're a Giant, what what have you learned about or
what would you like to see them do a quarterback?
Because obviously interesting signing with the team that is still chasing,
it's starting QB.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So whether it's Aaron Rodger, here's Russell Wilson.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
I know you're on the other side of the ball,
but you had to be interested in what was gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So what do you think is going to happen? Or
would you like to see it happen?
Speaker 7 (07:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
For me, I just kind of focused on giving myself
a quaint with the team, just got here, figuring out
how I can help them help the team, and then
I'll let whoever has to make those decisions handle those.
But I'm excited and confident that you know, will make
a good decision.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Yeah, we'll take three more. Patty Trainer, Hey, how are you? Hey?
Are you doing? I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. I
have a couple for you if I could you Playing
off the previous question about the youth in the room,
you're probably more experienced or the most experienced guy coming in.
(08:33):
Can you just talk a little bit about the idea
of being a leader in that group, even though you're
a newcomer.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah. Absolutely, I think anytime you can come in and
bring experience, that's great. And so I have some experience,
and so if there's something that I know, and I'll
be you know, very willing to be able to share
that knowledge and share that wisdom and at the same
time be willing to learn, you know, coming into a
new organization, see how things are done, and adapt accordingly.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
And then my other question is is you mentioned you've
played in various schemes, but every scheme has little tweets
and differences and nuances. What is it about the Giant
scheme that you think compliments what you do well?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, I think just being able to find the ball
in the air, having eyes on the quarterback, challenging receivers,
I think it all will be able to compliment my game.
And I also think that my game can translate to
multiple different schemes. So I think that was really good
for me.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Thank you, Thank you, Charlotte, Carol.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
As nice to meet Sia.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Charlotte good.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
How familiar are you with with Tay Banks and what
do you know about his game?
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I know he's a really you know, big, fast, strong,
physical corner. I like a lot of things that he does,
very explosive, very athletic, and so I'm happy to be
able to come in and work with him.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I know you kind of are just getting here. But
have you talked to him or has he reached out
to you?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, as soon as I reached out to him, got
his number, got in contact with him. So I'm excited
to be able to play with them.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And then just last one too.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
You guys have a new secondary coaching staff and a
new CV coach. How familiar are you with them and
what appeals to them?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, I just I just met them, you know, so, uh,
you know, found out probably two days ago. But I'm
excited to work with them, and uh, I know they
got a lot of good history and a lot of
experience coming from the two of them.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Last one, Jordan rent On, Hey, Paulstman, welcome man, appreciate.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
It, give you the time. How you doing, brother good.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Obviously, with a big contract comes with a lot of
expectations and responsibility. I'm curious what you think of the
you know, of basically being looked at now as a
number one cornerback and you know, hey, your job is
to be.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The shutdown guy.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Yeah, absolutely, I embrace it. That's why they brought me
in here. That's how I viewed myself, you know, since
I got into the league. So it's it's cool if
for other people view you that way, but at then
it's at the end of the day, it's about how
you view yourself and at the end of the day,
it's about producing. So I'm ready to come in and
work and get to work with that.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, is that kind of the thing that maybe it
was CUF last year, like when marsh On was you know, God,
like that was your opportunity to hate show that you're.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
That guy, and that kind of the injury kind of
happened there.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, honestly, I feel like there's two corners on
the field. Obviously, you know, we get into the CB
one role, but it's really just winning your matchup, you
know what I mean. And so I feel like I've
always had that mentality to win my matchup regards of
who I'm lined up against and taking on you know,
we didn't travel necessarily all the time in New Orleans,
you know what I mean, So a lot of times
(11:38):
you do end up on the number one guy, you know,
and you just have to produce. So in different schemes
maybe where it was like, oh there's always one person following,
it's probably bigger in that. But for me, I've always
viewed myself as being able to go up against anybody,
