Speaker 2 (00:01):
You're coming from a you know, four down front Dallas
to a three down front here.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
How do you fit in this defense?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Do you think? So?
Speaker 4 (00:08):
Dallas is a four down but they're very multiple too.
Like well, under both my last two coordinators, we both
we ran four three three four, So it's it I
feel that I will be able to pick it up. Well,
there's no picking it up. It's what I've already done.
So what, like, where do you think you fit?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I forget Dallas, and where do you think you fit
in this defense?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
If you just look at the.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Way you know they aligned, Uh, the same situation I
was in Dallas. You know you play on the end,
you play three four, I four big the three technique.
It's wherever it's needed. You know, versatility is everything.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
Gosh, I appreciate it. At Valentine.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
To Welcome to New York.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
There have been a.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Lot of edge defenders, edge rushers in recent years who
have sort of taken a while to really hit their
their best. Do you feel like your best football is
still out in front of you?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, this guy's the limit, you know, is I'm finally
get to a situation where I'm able to play more,
so I'm able to show what I can do more,
showcase my abilities and you know, with more time, you know,
just keep as sending.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Do you prefer, you know, just to piggyback on Dan's
question a little bit, do you prefer, you know, having
a hand in the ground or standing.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Up off the edge.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I prefer to being on the field, so you know
what's ever going to give me out there?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
That works? Thank you, Evan Barnes, John C.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Welcome to New York Man.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Appreciate you all right.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Last year you obviously had your career year. You got
a place where you were able to thrive a little bit.
Does that give you confidence you'll be able to keep
that going with the Giants. You were able to kind
of get comfortable and figure out what you can do
on the field a little bit more.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
H Yeah, you know what, the experience comes confidence, and
you know, you keep keep putting one foot in front
of the other, you're bound to make some more plays
you go out there, things get start slowing down more
and more as you get more experienced. So yeah, and
then were was a big part of the deal.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Being excited to play with guys like Burns, Tivodell, and
obviously Lawrence who guys can get to the quarterback? Was
was that part of the excitement for you to come
to the Giants to play alongside those dudes.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Also, like so as a kid, I played for the
East Side Giants, so it was kind of it was
kind of cool too, you know when I was able
to come a Giant, that was nice. Yeah, But also
playing with those guys that'll be that would be a
nice experience seeing how how like our games compliment and
each other. Giants, Yeah, the Detray east Side Giants. Yeah,
(03:08):
mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Brian Dumley by.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Jon Z.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Welcome to New York.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Thanks for doing this, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You've never lost to the Giants. You went a no
with the Cowboys. Uh, how do you flip that? How
now that you're on the other side of the rivalry, Like,
how do you flip that and make sure you know
what the Cowboys are thinking of the Giants all those years?
How do you guys get their respect?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
H I don't really know how to answer this one,
Like it's you know, it's a team game. We go
out there, do what we gotta do and get these dubs.
You know, I don't really not answer this one honestly, Well,
what do you.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Think about changing sides in one of the oldest rivalries.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
In the NFL.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Well, I think about changing sides. Uh what, let's let's
get to doing it. You know, let's let's do what
we gotta do. Let's go get some dubs.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And then for I know you were asked about the
group as a whole, but you were asked about the
defensive group as a whole. But what about Dexter Lawrence
from Afar impressed you?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
First of all? So we played when we played when
the Cowboys played h y'all last year US last year.
I was on the sideline and I was looking at
him on a Jumbo trone. I'm like, there's no way
that guy is that big, Like what the hell? It
(04:38):
was like, Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to see to
work with them and you know, pick his brain, you know,
get some talk to some experience guys and see how
I can improve my game.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Great, Thank you, how each traina Hey, Charles, So you
welcome to New York, Jersey, Charusa. You mentioned obviously Thibodeau,
you mentioned Burns. Can you talk a little bit about
how your skill set compliments with those guys do and
how they can compliment what you do.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Okay, So I haven't uh out with Burns, you know,
Burns the speed guy. I'm I'm more of the bigger
end guy. And you know for Neess power that was
usually go hand in hand. So with that, you know,
(05:35):
just I'm just doing my part, you know, I'm just
here to help in my part of the role. And
with time together, like with this OTAs and training camp,
I will see exactly how that works. So you know
that that question will be answered in time.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Okay. And then you know we talk about when newcomers
come into a locker room that's already you know, building
a culture. What do you feel you could bring to
the Chinese culture.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I'm more of I'm more of a lead by example guy,
you know. So however that may help who's who's ever
can I can help? Uh? But I'm here to bring
leadership as from what I can do. Uh yeah, that's really.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Last one.
Speaker 5 (06:30):

Speaker 6 (06:33):
On in Hey?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
How are you doing well?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
What What does it take to play violent and dominant
as a defensive lineman? Feels like those two words kind
kind of describe your game, and I feel like it's
a critical element of how linement on both sides of
the ball need to play.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Wondering how you generate that.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It's a mindset, you know, it's a mindset. You get
a chance to go and you know, move a man
against his own will, so you gotta you gotta do that.
That's a mental thing, you know. Is that a quality or.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
A mindset that you either have or you don't like?
Can you?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, it's a you can develop. Those are like mindsets,
you can those can be developed. It's just like you
develop a routine of going to the gym. You know,
it's everything. It all can be developed and around the
right people that mindset can thrive.
