Defensive Coordinator Wink Martindale
Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving. Obviously, yesterday was the first day of Hanukkah, so happy holidays. Haven't been able to talk to you for what, three weeks now?
So, we've had some good things happen there, both the Washington game and the New England game, and really pleased where guys are really stepping up and gelling as a defense and playing well. It's been fun to watch, the takeaways that we've been able to generate and to have some positive things happen for us on the field and the different series of events that we've had.
So, with that, I'll open it up to questions.
Q: How rare is it for a guy like (inside linebacker) Bobby Okereke to be on the field every play?
A: Not at that position, it's not rare. At least not in my career it hasn't been. I think that's a tribute to his skillset and his leadership and his knowledge of the defense. Every week, it's a different challenge.
With Green Bay, (Head Coach) Matt (LaFleur) has done an outstanding job with his offense, and you can really see it's catered around the quarterback and it's Matt's personality of his offense, which is in the family of San Francisco with (49ers Head Coach) Kyle Shanahan and the Dolphins with (Head Coach Mike) McDaniel and (Rams Head Coach Sean) McVay in LA, and it's definitely a tough out. The receivers, that's a deep room. The running backs, a deep room. When I say deep room, they have a lot of talent – maybe the deepest rooms in the league. Those young guys are really playing well. They've got some good football players over there. I think (Packers Offensive Line Coach) Luke Butkus has this offensive line playing really well together. So, it's going to be a great challenge for us.
Q: We haven't had a chance to talk to you since the Jay Glazer report. What context, if any, can you give us on that?
A: When you're 4-8 instead of 8-4, things like that come up. I think that the cookie-cutter answer is we're focused on Green Bay. But I don't ever give you cookie-cutter answers. I do tell you this, though, that this game always has been and always will be about the players. I want to keep it that way. I always say I owe the players my composure. I think that there's nothing you can do when someone says something, you know what I mean? There's nothing you can do about that. I think the response that you got from the players, there's nothing that's happened that way. So, like I said… I think (General Manager) Joe (Schoen) and (Head Coach) Brian (Daboll) both, I've said it before, we're building something here. I think you've just got to stay focused on that. Today is Friday/Thursday practice. When you're old, that that really messes with you. We're just ready to go and have a great practice today.
Q: The crux of that report was that there's a chance you might not even finish out this year here or be back next year. What do you see as your future here because you've always raved about this organization?
A: Yeah, and I still am. The Maras, and the Tischs, and this organization, I've said that this is not a steppingstone, it's a destination, and it still is. I think when you're doing something the way we're doing it when we got here, and I'm talking about building this defense. When they build the big skyscrapers over there in the city, they put in the pilings. That's not fun to watch. It's fun to go see the building after it's done. Right now, we're still putting in the pilings in year two. I think there's things that you come across that are different, but as far as the answer where I'm going to be at, no one knows that.
I know that—I say we, Laura (Martindale) and myself have worked hard enough and long enough in this league that at the end of year, hopefully you have all kinds of choices. Might be grabbing my golf clubs and go play golf in Florida. Hopefully, it's a raise. Don't we all want raises? Yeah, we all do (laughter). So, I mean, you just don't know what's going to happen. I can't predict the future.
Q: But would you like to be back here?
A: Yeah. Yeah.
Q: The report said that your relationship with Daboll is in a bad place and there's a lot of tension. Can you speak to your relationship with Daboll?
A: We're fine. I mean, it's the same thing as it was last year. It was just different because we were winning more games. It's different every place you go, the relationship with the head coach and the defensive coordinator or assistants, especially when it's new. It's been, what, 22 months now, a year and a half? It's that we're going to keep working and keep trying to win. We're all focused on Green Bay.
Q: When you hear something like that, when it was first brought to your attention, how would you describe what you felt?
A: It bothers you. You know what I mean? It bothers you. Here's what he told me – I say he, Brian. After the game, he goes, 'Hey, there's a report out that you and I aren't getting along, and you're going to be fired.' I said, 'I don't pay attention to that.' This is after the New England game, I'm saying, on the field. I said, I woke up Sunday morning in Washington, and there was a Google alert on my phone – and you know how we're all addicted to our phones when you get a Google alert – and I saw the four replacements that they had for me here in New York. So, if you sat there and you based your life off of what you read, you'd be very miserable. I refuse to do that. Like I said, I care too much about these players. We care too much about these players and their success and building a program here that I'm just not going to let it affect me.
Q: You guys have different personalities. Is it fair to say you guys don't always see eye-to-eye?
A: I don't see eye-to-eye with my wife all the time. He's the head coach, and it's my job to forward his plan. And that's what I'm going to do.
Q: Part of the report said that you might not even like finish out the year here. Is there anything to that?
A: I'm still here today. Every time my key card works… It's not like I go there, and it works, and I go, 'Yeah!' (laughter). I'll be like, 'Hey, this doesn't work anymore.'
I don't make that decision, so I can't answer that question.
Q: What kind of reassurances have you been given, though?
A: We haven't even talked about it. Because like I said, to me, that's where it gets back to the players and being focused on winning this game. I hate the fact that it's a story, because it takes away from how
good Bobby Okereke is playing, how good (outside linebacker) Kayvon Thibodeaux is playing, how good (defensive lineman) Dex(ter Lawrence II) is playing, how good Nacho (defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches) and (defensive lineman) A'Shawn (Robinson) are playing, how good (safety) X(avier McKinney) has been playing the last three weeks. Because to me, it's about the players. I understand that you guys have your job. No one respects you more than I do. I understand all that. But it's just how it is and where it's at.
Q: Every one of those players said, when we asked them about it last week, that we don't feel any tension, Wink puts us in positions to succeed. What does that mean to you?
A: It means a lot. It means a lot. I think that's why you're in the profession. If you're not in the profession for that, you're in the wrong profession. If you make it about me instead of we, then you're going down the wrong street.
Q: Do you still believe in what you guys are trying to build here?
A: Yes. Without a doubt
Offensive Coordinator Mike Kafka
Q: With the decision making behind (quarterback) Tommy (DeVito) being the starter, how much input did you have on that? What were those conversations like with Dabs (head coach Brian Daboll)
A: First off, I'm really excited for Tommy. I think it's been fun working with him and continuing to build the game plan with him has been a really good process, so that's really where our focus is at. I think he's doing a good job. We're in a Thursday-type practice today. That's where our focus is.
Q: You've been a player in locker rooms and there's a perception in sports that like the locker room always knows who the best player is. That's how you, I don't know, gain or lose a locker room basically. Are you playing the best players? Do you feel like the locker room backs Tommy as the best player over (quarterback) Tyrod (Taylor)?
A: Yeah, I think so. I sure do. I think when Dabs made the decision, I fully support it, I back it and that's really where our focus is.
Q: Sometimes when you have a bye week that's a lot earlier in the season you guys can go in and really dig in and make changes and say, 'ok, we can do this now and that now,' but being late, maybe not the wholesale changes, but the fact that Tommy is now the quarterback, and you really haven't put together that offense consistently around him. Did the bye week give you opportunities to, I don't want to say cater things to him, but to try to continue to find what works best for him as a quarterback?
A: It really did. It really did. That time during the bye week is invaluable for the staff, for the players to number one to get kind of rejuvenated just with some off time, but also to kind of go back and look at some of the things that we can improve on and we did that with not just the quarterback position but every position in our unit as a group, how we can improve in the run game, the pass game, all those kind of areas. We dug down deep as a staff and looked at a bunch of cutups, whether it was ourselves, around the league, what teams are doing, and how we can improve.
Q: One of the numbers that sticks out when you look at Tommy is, I think he's been sacked like 30 times in whatever. Is that just him holding the ball and trying not to make a mistake?
A: I'd say an offense, it's really never one guy. It's an 11-man operation. We all got to be clicking on the same cylinders and working to improve all those things, whether it's pass protection
upfront, whether it's getting the ball out, whether it's winning down field on a route, whether it's play calling, all those things work together. So, we all got to get on a better page and eliminate those things.
Q: There was a report in one of the Chicago papers that you turned down Northwestern's interest in their coaching job. I was curious why and how much serious consideration did you give that?
A: That was something that wasn't on my landscape at the time right now. Right now, this is what I'm focused on, being here and enjoying the process with the players and the coaches and going through this journey.
Q: At the same time, there's another report that you guys could lose (running back coach Jeff) Nixon in the same kind of thing, interest from a college job. What kind of Plan B or whatever you have to make to have that in order if you do lose him?
A: Whichever decision Nix makes, I fully support on the route he wants to go, and I'd be happy for him. I think as far as the staffing and stuff, you'd have to ask Dabs about that.
Q: Can a game like (wide receiver Jalin) Hyatt had against the Patriots continue to open up his game moving forward? Did he show things that he hadn't been showing that game or is it just a matter of things kind of opened up in that game?
A: I think he's done a nice job as he's building out throughout this season. I think each week is a little bit different in the game plan and how it kind of formulates based on the defenses we're playing, but I think it will continue to grow. I think he's feeling confident with himself, confident with the offense and you can see that as well.
Special Teams Coordinator Thomas McGaughey
Q: What kind of year is (inside linebacker) Carter Coughlin having for you guys?
A: Carter's doing a good job. He's having a good year. Happy for him. Last year was a little slow for him but he's definitely picked it up this year, made some plays for us. So, it's been just fun to watch him grow as a football player and just see him kind of come into his own, making some plays. That's what he does. He's done a really nice job this year.
Q: What do you make of it when you see a guy get fined for a hit like that? I mean, that's his shoulder, right? I mean, do you even have an explanation?
A: No (laughs). I mean, we all see the tape, we've all seen it. It is what it is, and you know, yeah. It is what it is (laughs). It's amazing.
Q: Do you tell the guy don't make good contact next time?
A: That's a slippery slope we go down. I mean – it's a slippery slope. You look at the tape, looks like it's a textbook tackle, guy gets fined, it's a slippery slope.
Q: Since we last talked to you, (Senior Vice President/General Manager) Joe Schoen had a press conference where he said punt returner was his bad, he tried to force (running back) Eric Gray back there. What was your input in that?
A: I tell you guys all the time; I make the gumbo so whoever's back there, that's who we're going with. It is what it is. We get guys that are on the roster, we try to put them in places to make plays and that's our job. Our job is to put them in plays, their job is to make the play. It is what it is, I mean, that's just part of football. You get a guy, you think he can do certain things and there is still time. Eric still has time. It's just the maturation process of growing as a football player and trying to figure things out, that's just part of it.
Q: Now that you have (kicker) Cade (York) on the practice squad, how does that help developmentally? Is he just able to focus on whatever you guys have been working on?
A: Cade's a young kicker and you've got to look at young kickers as a whole in this league. Most of them get cut three or four times, if not more than that, before they stick. I had (former punter) Michael Palardy when he was with us in Carolina, he's a punter but specialists in general, he was cut almost 18 times before he stuck. Then, he won a job – he won a job and his first year he was a second alternate in the Pro Bowl. So, I mean, that's part of a lot of these guys' process. It's rare that a guy just shows up, gets drafted or picked by a team and he stays with that same team for 15 years like the (former kicker) Sebastian Janikowskis of the world or (Ravens kicker) Jusin Tucker. Those guys are a rarity, you rarely see those. Most of them get cut a bunch of times before they stick.
Q: Why do you think that is?
A: That's just part of the process of kickers in this league because most of the time, young kickers, they're going to miss kicks (laughs). It's rare where you see a guy just comes in and his rookie year, he bangs out 90 percent of his kicks. I mean it's just –
Q: Do you think it's less patience with that position?
A: Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. You look at a few years back when we had (former kicker) Aldrick (Rosas) here. Aldrick was 75 percent his rookie year and then he comes back the next year and he breaks the franchise record for field goal percentage. I mean, when you have talented guys, you've got to commit to him and then once you commit to them, you've got to know, 'Hey, look. This guy's going to miss kicks.' Because they've got to learn just like every other position. Young quarterbacks make mistakes, young running backs make mistakes, they all make mistakes, they're young.
Q: What's the long-term outlook for him because you have (kicker) Graham (Gano)? So how do you view that?
A: Right now, we're just working with him because he's here. He's very, very talented and you know how this business is, you just never know. You never know, so he's doing a really good job but we've just got to keep continuing trying to get him better, bring him along while he's here and just make him better. Make sure that by the time he leaves here, he's a little bit better than when he got here.
Q: What makes (Packers' receiver) Jayden Reed dangerous as a returner?
A: Jayden's talented, a talented kid. We worked him out, I worked him out this spring at Michigan State and he's a very talented kid. He has a lot of ability, he can stick his foot in the ground, he can make people miss and he has really good straight-line speed. We've got to do a good job – I was showing the guys tape of him today, we've got to do a really good job of just taking care of our business and being where we're supposed to be as far as leveraging the ball and keeping it inside.
Q: Consistency or something about him, I don't think we've asked you about your long snapper all year. What does (long snapper) Casey (Kreiter) brings.
A: Casey's the glue. He is, he's the glue to our special teams unit. He is the quarterback of our punt team. I couldn't sit here and tell you how much he means to our special teams unit. He's a great leader, he's insightful, he thinks like a coach on the field, he's a real leader in our room, he gets the guys together every week. He does his own scouting report, writes it on the board, they come in, they watch it, they talk about it, each unit as a whole, and I couldn't begin to explain to you how much he means to us as a special teams group.
Running Back Saquon Barkley
Q. What was the team's reaction when you guys found out that it was going to be (quarterback) Tommy (DeVito) at quarterback this week and not (quarterback) Tyrod (Taylor)?
A: I mean, I guess it's kind of like the talk of the town right now with the decision to go with Tommy over Tyrod. I think Tyrod is handling it well, being a professional, kind of like we knew he was going to be. Both of the guys have got nothing but confidence (from) everyone on the team. Whether they went with Tommy or went with Tyrod, we're just trying to keep the main thing, the main thing. Like I said, we've got confidence in both of them, and they made the decision to go with Tommy. Now, our focus is on Green Bay.
Q. What does it mean to you to be nominated for the NFL [Walter Payton] Man of the Year by the Giants?
A: Awesome. This is my second year being nominated. It's an honor. One of 32 men in the NFL to get nominated for that award, it's truly a blessing. Being a running back, being a fan of the history of the game, learning about (Hall of Fame running back) Walter Payton, knowing his legacy on the field and off the field, and getting to spend time with some of the Payton family last year because I was nominated. Like I said, it's truly an honor and it's a good thing. It's a good thing to be – you want to win that award but it's a hard award to win because it's 31 other guys doing just as good as your doing. When you've got 32 guys, and even more, doing spectacular things in the community, it's not a bad thing.
Q. Why is it important to you to do those things in the community? Particularly with, it seems like, at-risk youth or homeless youth.
A: I would say, especially with the homelessness, I can kind of relate to that a little bit more. Battling that when I was a child. My parents did a really good job of making sure that I never even noticed it when I was a kid. But growing up and just hearing the stories, especially what my father's been through, living in abandoned houses and jumping around here and there I had a little stint in my life for a year or two when we were homeless but at the time, we didn't feel it. I could relate to them a little bit more and just trying to find any way we can give back and make a change and that's when we started working with Children of Promise and then going back home in the valley and up here. The same thing we can do is kind of what my foundation stands for, any little thing we can do to give back and make an impact on our community. It's something that I've wanted to do ever since I got drafted into the NFL and it's a goal of mine and I look forward to continuing.
Q. I remember (Giants' legend) Eli Manning saying that he went through the whole Man of the Year process, the idea that it's an award to win but it feels like you already won being nominated. It's one of those things like – you like to do a lot of your work behind the scenes and not put it out there but to be able to bring awareness to the situation you almost have to allow people in. Is that a tough balance that you've had to walk over the last couple of years? The idea of you're not doing it for the attention, but the attention certainly helps the cause.
A: Helps the cause in terms of winning. Then it's an award, you're competing. It is a hard balance, it is weird but for me, I just try to keep it real and authentic. Sometimes I'd just rather do the work with no cameras there or no one taking pictures or no one posting anything about it, but I guess that's kind of how you get nominated. So, it is a tough balance but for me, I just keep the main thing, the main thing. Keep it real, and authentic and I feel like the way I operate, the kids and the organizations that I work with, and the people I interact with, I feel like they can feel that so hopefully they can.
Q. Would 1,000 yards mean something to you this year?
A: Yeah, it would be – any time you can rush for 1,000 yards in the NFL. Growing up, I kind of thought it was easier than when you get into the National Football League and if I get 1,000 this year I would be – what was that paper you showed me?
Q. You'd be like third, I think.
A: Be third, yeah. If I get 1,000 this year, I'd be third (fourth) in franchise history. I can't even sit here and lie to you and say that wouldn't be a cool thing. That'd definitely be a cool thing so pretty much played five years, technically, I guess six but five years and average 1,000 yards a year is not a bad start to the first half or whatever of your career.
Q: And they may not even franchise you next year.
A: (Laughs).
Q: You weren't in the top 10 in Pro Bowl voting for running backs. What do you make of that?
A: I can get why I'm not in the top 10 missing three games and there are a lot of backs that are playing well, and it's the first round of it. So, hopefully, I can finish the season off strong enough to just get myself in there but (defensive lineman) Dexter Lawrence (II) not being in there doesn't make any sense to me. So, I don't care about it too much for myself, but Dex is one of the most dominant defensive players in the league. Him not being in there, you've got to do better Giants fans (smiles), for sure.
Q: What's the goal now? What do you use for motivation say on Monday night or beyond Monday night?
A: We're in this, to be honest. I'm going to keep it real. We're not looking too far, we're not looking in on the hunt or the playoff pictures, but we take care of what we've got to take care of, everyone can say what they want about the season, but it's week whatever and everything we want is still there. So, we don't need any extra motivation. Every game is a critical game no matter what, but especially now.
So, Monday night, you've got a team who's hot. I think they what, won the last three or four games? And we won our last two games. No more excuses. Tommy DeVito is not a rookie quarterback anymore. He's going into his fourth start. Injuries, we've got guys getting healthier. Everything we want is there. So, we were a team last year that was able to find a way to make it into the playoffs, and that's still our goal. Every team's goal at the beginning of the season is to make it to the playoffs and get to the Super Bowl, and statistically and mathematically we're still in it.
Q: Would you have said that two weeks ago?
A: I've been saying it. I've been saying it.
Q: You've been saying it, but you sound like you believe it more than you did then.
A: I've been saying it, and I always believe it. I know it sounds like we talk all the time, and it just sounds like I'm just beating a dead horse when I'm saying it, but I truly, truly believe that. I'm one of those guys that if I'm in a fight and I got my butt kicked for 11 rounds, the 12th round, in my head, if I still compete, if I could knock you out and get the win, then that's how it's going to happen. So, I kept saying until we're completely out of this thing I still believe. Even when you're out of this thing, you've still got a job to do. It's not too hard to look at. I don't think it's too hard to figure it out. That's how I look at it and that's what I firmly believe in.
Q: You've got to win Monday though, right? You can see that.
A: Yeah, from now on—every game in the NFL is a must-win, but knowing what we want to accomplish, yes, it's if you want to say a 'must win.' I don't like putting that label on any games. I go back to (Penn State Head) Coach (James) Franklin. If we're playing Akron or we're playing Ohio State you've got to have the same mindset. You've got to treat practice week the same. But Monday night against a team who's rolling, and we're rolling, and they've got a lot of things that they're fighting for, and we've got a lot of things that we're fighting for. We've got to just keep stacking them one game at a time.
Q: You were asked about Tyrod, but what about Tommy? Now that he's the starter and named the starter, what have you seen in him as he prepares for Monday?
A: Same old Tommy. I mean, I don't see anything different. No matter what, if he wasn't named the starter or he was, I think he should continue to have that confidence, have that mindset of 'F it and go out there and ball.' You're an undrafted kid from New Jersey living the dream. Go out there, have fun and you've got everyone's support. Let's go do this thing together.
