Summary

Jevon Holland was one of the prized free agent signings in March and he joins Boomer & Gio. Gio asks Boomer what comes to mind first when he hears “Jevon Holland” and Boomer says it’s that Holland is Canadian. For Gio, it’s that Holland returned Tim Boyle’s “Fail Mary” 100 yards for a TD in that infamous Jets Black Friday game. Holland thinks the Giants have the bones to be a great defense.

javon good morning how are you good how you doing fellas uh we're doing great now offseason with safety Javon Holland, who joins us now. Javon, good morning. How are you?

0:38.4

Good. How are you doing, fellas?

0:39.2

We're doing great. Now, when you think of Javon Holland, what's the first thing of pops in your mind? He's a Canadian. Okay. First thing. That's valid. That's a good one. First thing that pops in my mind is the fail, Mary. The fail Mary. He was the man who brought back that Tim Boyle interception on Black Friday, which was one of the most insane football plays I'd ever seen in my life. What was it like being you during that play? It was cool. It felt, you know, kind of regular. We do that a lot in practice, and it just kind of came up. And once it happened, it's kind of like a drop field goal. And I just knew I was like, get to our sideline. So it was, you know, it was pretty surreal. Going back and watching it a bunch of times was always cool, and people come up to me. It was like, oh, fail, Mary. It's cool having like a play that have people named. Yeah. So, nah, it's definitely awesome.

1:30.8

Yeah,

1:31.0

just so you know, was always cool and people come up to me. It was like, oh, fail, Mary. It's cool having like a play that have people named.

1:28.7

Yeah.

1:29.2

So, no, it's definitely awesome. You know, just so you know, as an ex-NFL or jet quarterback, I've had a few plays that were named after us. Yeah, yeah. It just seems to happen for the Jets, unfortunately, whatever that is. What made you want to come here to New York, given the state of their defense and their lack of real success over the last three years?

1:48.7

I think it's the atmosphere, you know, what can be, what dayball and the organization were kind of putting together in the direction that they were going.

1:57.5

You know, they brought in a lot of guys that are like-minded, a lot of individuals that I know.

2:19.2

And I felt like I was a, I could be a pivotal piece into changing the narrative around the New York Giants back to what it, you know, it once was in recent history. And because of the winning organization and, you know, they've had success in the past. I think that, you know, the roots are there for, you know, successful season and successful organization. and I think that, you know, I'm one of those pieces.

2:25.0

I like when I get the perspective of someone who hasn't been here, because we've seen all of it for the last number of years.

2:28.9

This is your first experience here looking at this defense.

2:35.8

There's some other guys that we haven't seen like Abdul Carter, but what's your impression of how good you guys can be on that side of the ball this year? I think our level of success is all determined on our want

2:40.1

to. I truly do. I think we have all the talent necessary in the room and the youth as well.

2:44.8

Because, you know, I've been on young teams. I've been on old teams. I think being youthful

is definitely something that you could use to your advantage.
