00:00All right, B-London in the locker room with second-year Giants safety Tyler Noob and T-Noob,

00:04days away from the season, opener. I see you bouncing and you got some bouncing,

00:10you got the smile. I guess, how are you feeling and where do you feel the defense is at days away?

00:14Man, I feel great, man. I feel like we're in a really good spot, bro. We got a bunch of hungry

00:18dogs that's ready to go. You personally ball hawked throughout college. You had a huge year

00:24last year in your rookie season. That got cut short by injury. I guess, I mean,

00:28how do you feel personally going into this year? What type of expectations have you put

00:33on yourself in your second year? I feel a lot more confident, man. I feel a lot more comfortable

00:37out there. Being a rookie, you're just trying to figure it out for real. Last year was a lot of

00:43learning experiences for me, but now I've seen a lot, so I can kind of anticipate and go. I'm just

00:48ready to attack it. Go deeper for me on that and the details with our audience. When you talk about

00:52being comfortable and being confident, Coach Coughlin, my rookie year here, used to say,

00:57know and know you know, talking about the playbook. So one, how comfortable are you with

01:02the playbook, Shane Bowen's defense the second year, and just overall football savvy?

01:07Yeah. I mean, it's night and day, bro. With our playbook, especially, I don't have to think

01:12anymore. So the calls are coming out second nature now, so I can focus on what the offense

01:17is doing and the things that they're doing, how they're lining up, splits, things like that to

01:21help me execute my game and my coverage. So last year, I was thinking about what the call was,

01:27and I got to think about what the offense is doing, but now it's second nature with the

01:31calls, and I can focus on the other side.

01:33This would be your third time going up against the Commanders. Last year, you guys played them

01:37tough both times. I mean, how much different are they from an offensive standpoint this year

01:42compared to where they were at? What was that, week nine you guys played them last?

01:47Oh, man. They added, of course, Debo. He's a special player, a guy that they can get the ball to him

01:54at any time he can make something happen. So yeah, they definitely got better in that perspective.

02:00I know they heavied up up front, got tons of on the outside now. So I'm ready for the challenge,

02:07man. It's a challenge in the offense. They do a lot of things that are different than a lot of

02:11teams in the NFL, but we're ready. We're ready.

02:13How big would an opening week dub be for this team? Do you feel as though this will set the tone

02:18for the season? For sure, man. I think all 32 teams want to start fast. That's how you set the

02:24tone for the rest of the season. So that's been our goal from day one to start fast, and that's going

02:29to do it for us, for sure. Lastly, you guys got the turnover chest this year. You guys been dunking

02:35it. I've seen a couple windmills. Who gets the first turnover of the season? Man, me.

02:40Outside of you. Outside of you. Outside of you.

02:42I feel like it's going to be either me, Vaughn, or Bob. I feel like Bobby, he got notes for the

02:47football. So we're going to see. Might have to put a couple bets up there together, see who can get

02:53the first one. All right, man. Good luck, and enjoy it, man. Enjoy it. Thank you, brother. Appreciate you.
