I have no idea.<\/h2>\n<p>I received\u00a0images of the promotional event inside MetLife Stadium after I spoke to Jon, so your guess is as good as mine. But they are so #BADASS (just like Duracell) I had to use them.<\/p>\n<p>But I did ask Jon some great questions. Check them out:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is this the most difficult\u00a0period of time in the history of the NFL\u00a0to play defense? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason: &#8220;Absolutely. They\u2019ve completely made the game too passive. That\u2019s what they want, they want more points. It is what it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there an NFL\u00a0player\u00a0you look forward to tackling the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason:&#8221;Everybody! I\u2019d love to tackle everybody! It doesn\u2019t matter to me \u2013 I don\u2019t discriminate!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ze9AyoDATg8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you start working with\u00a0Duracell?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason: &#8220;Duracell reached out and being the &#8220;Mike&#8221; linebacker in our defense, and equipped with the headset, I\u2019m powered by Duracell Quantum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through the course of an NFL game, 650 Duracell Quantum batteries are used and that\u2019s just mind boggling. Go to facebook.com\/Duracell to find out all the others ways they are used on the field, and to make sure the fans have the best experience possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do\u00a0opposing QB\u2019s call out where the mike linebacker\u00a0is? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason: &#8220;In a 4-3 scheme there are 11 guys on both sides of the ball. There are two of everything except the mike linebacker; cornerbacks, defensive tackles, outside linebackers and safeties and then the one mike. Based on where he aligns, he is the x-factor, the extra defender, the guy you have to account for because when the offense overloads a side in terms of protection, that is where we can gain an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They usually point me out as mike\u00a0based on what we\u2019re in, but based on how were spinning the safety down, what we\u2019re showing when we are showing pressure, they can call someone else the mike and say he\u2019s the guy you are responsible for, if he comes, he is the x-factor in terms of pressure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/interview-new-york-giants-linebacker-jon-beason-duracell\/jon-beason-duracell\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17491\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17491 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"943\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell.jpg 696w, https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell-600x813.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17491 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell.jpg 696w, https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jon-beason-duracell-600x813.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>In your career,\u00a0\u00a0you\u2019ve played\u00a0both &#8220;Sam&#8221;\u00a0and &#8220;Will&#8221; linebacker positions. Are you glad to be the mike linebacker, exclusively?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason: &#8220;It\u2019s funny. The reason I played outside is because I got drafted as a will and got moved over in week five of my rookie year due to injuries and played the mike backer and ended up being the best possible fit for me and my personality.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s home; it\u2019s like riding a bike. It\u2019s something you\u2019re never going to forget and something I\u2019ve done at a consistent level so to be back at that position is something that I\u2019m grateful for and appreciative of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I read an interview you did with Newsday about Michael Barrow owning the Giants single-season tackling record. He also went to the University of Miami and played for Carolina, where you broke his single season franchise tackling record. What is it about you guys?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jon Beason: &#8220;Personally, and I think if you look at the stats and the guys who have come out of Miami, we truly are \u2018Linebacker U\u2019, though Penn State could be a close second. When I was at Carolina, I was just kind of cruising along doing my job and everyone was like, \u2018Hey you broke this record.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Wow.\u2019 So it became a competition and you want to just keep pushing the limitations and it just happened to be Michael Barrow. The fact that he owns that record up here is pretty funny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to do my job and stay within the realm of what I\u2019m supposed to do on a particular play, not freelance. And being active in the 148-150 tackle range, that\u2019s a great benchmark for excellence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Giants Content:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>David Tyree Helmet Catch \u2013 Giants\u2019 WR Recounts Super Bowl Play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is Jon Beason posing with acclaimed actor Taye Diggs while showing off his helmet,\u00a0powered by\u00a0Duracell Quantum batteries?

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
