Russ, how's it coming, man?

Pleasure to be here.

It's great to see you again, man.

We are... Good, good. We are live on the end. Yeah. This is, man, you smell great. He does smell good. That smells very good. Very good smelling man right there. I have to tell you. So Russell Wilson is with us, and man, I tell you, there was a lot of rumors years back about you being a New York giant.

Didn't happen a few years ago.

It is now. Tell me about your journey to being the giant starting quarterback here in 2025. Well, I'm excited, obviously, to be here. Obviously, I think we have a really good team that can do some things. We've got a lot of talent. But we've got to take that talent and get wins. And I think the best thing about it is, you know, having a guy like Malik Neighbors, what he can do in the outside. I think Wondell Robinson is, when I was putting on the film watching him play football, I play with a guy who was small like him in terms of height in Tyler Lockett. reminds me a lot of him him. His ability, he's tough as nails, can make all the plays. I think this defense alone is special. And so just to be here and to really just kind of re-energize this football team, I'm excited about the opportunity that. You know, it's interesting, Russell, I was asking James because he's in his third system in three years. You're in, I think, your fourth system in four years. Is that right? You had two systems in Denver. You had the system in Seattle. You had last year, so this is actually your fifth system. You were last year in Pittsburgh. Is this like foreign to you or is this something that you were familiar with? You know, it's all ball. You know, I think that the best part about it is my obsession with football.

I think, you know, the good thing is in Seattle for so many years. I was in West Coast style of offense. You know, Coach Darrell Bevel was my office coordinator for many of those years. And then I had, you know, Schadenheimer. And most of that offense was, I would say, 70% would I've done before, a little bit additional. and then, you know, I've been in West Coast for the most of my career.

Sean Peyton obviously was West Coast. And so I think the cool part about this offense is that the versatility that we have at the line of scrimmage, all the different things that we can do, the ability to run the football and, you know, those personnel's and what we can get to. It's exciting. So i'm excited to be under a coach dayball and coach kaffka do you watch the quarterback documentary on netflix have you seen any of that i haven't had the chance to watch it all right i'm pretty good yeah it's great and one of the reasons i bring it up is because kirk cousin is lamenting the fact that he goes from minnesota where they're pretty stagnant on their offensive formations.

And he could read the defense. And a lot of quarterbacks like Aaron Rogers don't like a lot of movement before the pre-snap and everything. They want to lock in and they want to see it all.

And he is just talking, Kirk Housins is talking about, man, we got like 48 or 45 different ways to move people or shift.

And we're always doing all these

different things and he really struggled down in Atlanta last year to the point where he actually

called Rahe Morris his head coach and said hey Rob man I'm I'm not playing well I don't know what's

going on here as opposed to the other way around yeah that's I always talk about the struggle

of learning just not only learning players and I know you like your players here, but just in your brain being able to speak freely and give coaching points in the middle of the game in the heat of battle. Yeah, I don't feel like I struggle with that. I think the part for me is, you know, I don't mind the motions and shifts i've been you know playing old school going back

to college you know i was at wisconsin we shifted everybody it was power and it was play action

deep shots you know also at the same time right before that nc state i was in with dana bible

and playing i remember dana bible west coast of office you know that dana bival was a quarterback

coach for me way back in the day i know you're hey what you office you know that dana bival was a quarterback coach for me way back in

the day i know you're hey what you doing you know so i remember that shut up but um so you know

we used to talk about you boomer back oh you did okay but what was awesome is is that you know for me i've been

in i don't mind the versatility of it all i think what what's important is the manipulation of the defense. You know, how do you get to it? How do you get to your one-on matchups? How do you find, how to move guys? How do you get guys wide open? All that. And then also, too, how do you open up run lanes? I think all that shift to motioning is fine with me. It doesn't affect me necessarily in terms of seeing the defense. I think the thing is playing quarterback is all process elimination. How fast can you read it? How fast can you see it? How fast can you see? Okay, this is going to be either a three-match coverage or it's going to get to end up getting a six? was you know and having that process elimination fast and
