Giants defeat the Cowboys in Dak Prescott for 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: the first time since Dak Prescott's rookie year, with Prescott 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: as the starter and a fast start to the end 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: of the year. Tiki, you wish these wins would have 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: came a little bit sooner. Obviously, the Cowboys had nothing 16 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: to play for in this game. They're arresting a lot 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: of their starters, but a lot of cool individual moments 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: for Giant players in this game, including Tyrone Tracy and 19 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: Gneral Shechevsky. 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: All right exactly. 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: Tyrone Tracy is the one I highlighted in the pre 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: game because he's been so good for this team. Last 23 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: year he went over a thousand yards in all purpose Bob, 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: and was talking about this leading in the middle of 25 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: this game as well. He needed about thirty forty yards 26 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter in order to get over one 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: thousand yards again, and we talked about it at the beginning. 28 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 3: He is one of these players who can be a 29 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: building piece for this team going forward, and for second 30 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: year skilled position players. He's been one of the most 31 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: consistent really only the second one, only the first one 32 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 3: to go over a thousand yards this year because Brian 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: Thomas was hurt when Lake Neighbors was hurt, brought Bowers 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: ended up getting hurt, you know. So it's one of 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: those situations where you look at a kid and you 36 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 3: see him continue to grow as a player and you 37 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: can't help but be excited for him. 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Donaldzchewski one hundred yards, Bob, and chance 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: for a second touchdown throw of the year just came 40 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: up a little bit short to Chris Manherd's head to 41 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: the corner. 42 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 4: Ah, I know he wants that one back. He didn't 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 4: even have to rush it. He could have taken one 44 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 4: more stop planted his feet. I've got to become friendly 45 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 4: with Gunner because you know, my office in the facility 46 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: is the back of the cafeteria, so I see Gunner 47 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 4: in there all the time. I saw him in there 48 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: a lot last year. We were talking. And the other 49 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 4: day of practice, I had my son with me and 50 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: he was excited to meet Gunner and he was. 51 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, he goes. 52 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: You know, more kids should want to buy my jersey, 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: Goes because I'm more like I was one stem he goes, 54 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: I'm not one of these top guys. 55 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: It's all about like hard work, he goes. You know, 56 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: seven years. 57 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 4: In the league, twenty nine years old, he's like kind 58 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: of scrapped it around, and he's been a return guy, 59 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: a special teams guy. So his first ever one hundred 60 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: yard receiving game comes in, you know, the last game. 61 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Of the regular season. 62 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: But he's been a good player for the Giants this year, 63 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: right when he's had to play at wide receiver. 64 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: He's been a good returner all season long and all 65 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: last year as well, But when he's had to play 66 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: as a wide receiver, I love how he catches the 67 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: ball when it's in his vicinity, when it's in his 68 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: catch radius. 69 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 5: You know, he's coming down with it. 70 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's not fearful of anything. Now. 71 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: Look, he's the kind of guy that it's nice to 72 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: have on your roster. But I mean, the Giants have 73 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 4: to upgrade the wide receiver position drastically. 74 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: You know, we don't know when Neighbors is going to 75 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: be back. 76 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean there was some field good stories today, 77 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: but it doesn't you know, as Carl said, winning the 78 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 4: last two games of the regular season when you're four 79 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 4: and thirteen doesn't really mean that much. 80 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: No, especially against a team that's not playing Freddy thing correct. 81 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 82 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, they sat their starting quarterback at halftime, and it 83 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: tells you all you need to know about the Cowboys 84 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: mindset coming into this game. 85 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: And they didn't even expose him in the first half, 86 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 4: like nothing was deep. 87 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: No, they ran the ball the whole the whole first half, 88 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: essentially against the poorest Giants defense. 89 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: Again. 90 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: Jayden Blues scored a touchdown, had sixty almost seventy yards 91 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: in the first half, and Dak Prescott was really just 92 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: trying to pad his league leading passing stats and he 93 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: didn't don't know if he did it enough to maintain it. 94 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: But we'll see what the Rams do, so we know 95 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: what we were we're playing against today. But that doesn't 96 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: change the fact that these guys, these Giant players, wanted 97 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: to win this game. They wanted to go out on 98 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: a high note, and they did. And yeah, are the 99 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: fans gonna be upset? Of course they are because they're 100 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: gonna get knocked down in the draft order. 101 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: But I will update that if you want, at the 102 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: end of the day, as a player, you do not 103 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: care one iota of course about the draft. 104 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 4: Well, you know who else doesn't care? The season ticket 105 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 4: holders that put their Giant gear on, or the fans 106 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: that bought the tickets from season ticket holders, or maybe 107 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: we're gifted tickets from the season ticket who sat out 108 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: here in cold weather and they wanted to see their 109 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: team win and they were cheering all day and they 110 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: were watching all that fun stuff. And look, the players 111 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: are putting their bodies on the line. 112 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: So absolutely the players are gonna go out there try 113 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: to win the game. The fans in here want to 114 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: see the Giants win. For the fans that do pay 115 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: attention to that stuff, and look, it'll be important when 116 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: we're talking in April and a lot of the do 117 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 2: and understandably so by the way, I completely understand the mindset, 118 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: especially in what could be a two quarterback draft. You 119 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: want to pick second, you can trade down get some 120 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 2: extra picks. Right now, the Giants are picking fifth. Washington 121 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: plays Philly at four o'clock. If Washington wins that game, 122 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: the Giants would stick at fifth. If they lose, the 123 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 2: Giants would swap spots with them at six, and then 124 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: keep an eye on the Jets and the Cardinals, who 125 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 2: both play at four o'clock. The Cardinals have the Rams 126 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: and the Jets have the Bills, so keep an eye 127 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: in those two games. Those wins are losses could move 128 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: the Giants up or down. Obviously, if you're a Giant fan, 129 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 2: you want to root for those teams to win those games, 130 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: not lose, and we'll track that as we go. That's 131 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: today's game breakdown, brought to you locally by Ford. Want 132 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: performance and capability at every turn.

We'll continue to break down the 137 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: Giants season closing thirty four to seventeen win over the 138 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys on the WFN Giants Radio Network. 139 00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 6: You're listening to Giants Extra Point on the WFAN Giants Network. 140 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: Back here on Giants Extra Point. Giants defeat the Dallas Cowboys. 141 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: Always a good day when the Giants beat the Cowboys 142 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: in MetLife Stadium thirty four to seventeen, and they finished 143 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: the year at four and thirteen. Guys, anything else when 144 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: this game jump out at you, Tiki, what do you 145 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: think of Jackson Dark's performance? 146 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: So he did enough, He. 147 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 3: Did what he needed to do, didn't make any mistakes 148 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: in this game. And early in this game he took 149 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: a few too many sacks, but that is what it 150 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: is for a young quarterback. 151 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: Really nice passed to Tracy on a touchdown. 152 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: Trying to make plays. 153 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: But again the good things that you'd take away, he 154 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: was very aware of not taking contact when he was 155 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: scrambling the throat to tyrone Tracy. As you mentioned, the 156 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: same route just the seam out of the backfield, which 157 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 3: is which is odd to see, but you can disguise 158 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: the route because you're basically running up the heels of 159 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 3: the tight end and the defense. 160 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: Particularly a linebacker gets confused. 161 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: It was almost like a pickplay too, and they couldn't 162 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: get over the slot receiver right. 163 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: And he threw it early. Tyrone wasn't ready for it. 164 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: He got right in the he put the ball exactly 165 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: where it needed to be and Tyrone made a great catch. 166 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I didn't like today when when Dalla, 167 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 4: especially in the first half, I didn't like the way 168 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 4: the Giants offensive line was playing. I mean they were 169 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 4: getting manhandled by the Cowboy from the. 170 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: Fact Babo's both sides and the Cowboys are running the 171 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: ball on the Giants defensive front the first half. The 172 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: Cowboys won the trenches battle in this game. 173 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and and look, you know Carl always 174 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 4: talks about it. You can't have Andrew Thomas being out 175 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 4: and it becomes janga. I thought illumin Or played one 176 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 4: of his poorer games that he's had since he's been 177 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 4: with the Giants today, and Carl had pointed out that 178 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: a certain style rusher Von Miller with Washington and Davi 179 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: Clo Clowney today really kind of gave him fits. So 180 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: I think that's something that you know, it wasn't great, 181 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: but look, none of this matters moving forward, right, It's 182 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: it's it's good for the fans today. Yeah, but you 183 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: know tomorrow and especially when you get to Tuesday, Wednesday 184 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: and Thursday of this week, none of this is gonna 185 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: matter because we know it has to be addressed in 186 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 4: the offseason. 187 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 7: Yeah. 188 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: Look, there's gonna be a new coaching staff here, more 189 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: likely than not, Mike caf go, I'm sure be involved 190 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: in the coaching search. We'll figure out what happens with that. 191 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: And look, we've seen in the last couple of years. 192 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: I know that the stat on Twitter has been flown 193 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: out through the Giants have won more than their fair 194 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: share of games in the last couple weeks of the season, 195 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: and it doesn't really impact the next year all that much. 196 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: So it's still a lot of questions as we head 197 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: into the off season. List one more quick time out, 198 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: we'll come back. We'll hear from Mike caf get the podium, 199 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: that and a whole lot more. The Giants again defeat 200 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys thirty four to seventeen. 201 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. 202 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 6: You were listening to Giants Extra Point on the Wfan 203 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 6: Giants Radio network. 204 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: We're back here on Giants Extra Point. 205 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 2: Giants Football is brought to you by Verizon, the official 206 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: five G network of the New York Giants, Verizon America's 207 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: most reliable network. 208 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Thirty four to seventeen. Giants defeat the Cowboys. We're waiting. 209 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: Mike caff gone the podium downstairs. His second straight win 210 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: is Giants interim head coach and Bob, I guess we 211 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: can start the conversation out becas you've burned up a 212 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 2: couple times, and I think rightfully. So now the question 213 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: goes to the offseason, and the first domino that's going 214 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: to fall is who the Giants head coach is going 215 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: to be next year? And Tiky and I talked a 216 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: lot about this on the pregame show. You didn't join 217 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: us for as I love to get your take. What 218 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 2: are your priorities when the Giants begin this search this 219 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 2: week for whoever the next head coach is going to be. 220 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 4: Well, they tried Ben mcad do that an't work. Then 221 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: they went with an established a guy who had head 222 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: coaching experience in Pat Shermer. But I don't want somebody 223 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: who's got a losing record. He had a losing record 224 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 4: in Cleveland, and I know you said, well it was 225 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: Cleveland or whatever. Get me a guy in here that 226 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: has won on the NFL level. 227 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: Right, Okay, and not just as a coordinator, correct. 228 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: I want to see somebody, because then they tried the 229 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 4: Joe Judge coordinator thing, then they tried the Brian Dable 230 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 4: coordinator thing, and I think they need to find somebody 231 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: that's going to walk in the door that has a 232 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 4: legitimate resume and knows what a winning football team should be. 233 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: You know, Tiki said it to me in the pregame, 234 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: and I guess I knew this because I knew well 235 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: that he coaches have been but it hadn't clicked with 236 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: me until he brought it up to me in the 237 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: pregame show that the Giant's last defensive oriented head coach 238 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: was Bill Parcells. To think, it's like twenty five years, 239 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: that's pretty crazy, right. 240 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 3: Technically, Tom Coughlin is neutral, but he was a tight 241 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: end code. 242 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Spags Interrom. 243 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're right, Spags Interrom, that's a good call. 244 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: I forgot about him. 245 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is Tom felt neutral. Tom wasn't 246 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 3: a offensive coach. He wasn't in the offensive meetings. 247 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: He was the CEO. 248 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: He did everything that he was a CEO, and he 249 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: had that defensive mindset because it was all discipline and 250 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 3: you know, being smart, focusing on the little things and 251 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: be ahead of the opponent. Type of type of coaching 252 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: style which is generally defensive. 253 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 5: Not we're going to be innovative. We're going to exploit you. 254 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: We're gonna trying to find ways to manipulate, you know, 255 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: our offensive scheme, schematics hopefully have the good and athletes 256 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: in order to make some big plays. And and and 257 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 3: he dominates on that side of the ball. Tom was everywhere. 258 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: Tom was a part of everything, so he's closest. But 259 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: the last one that was actually a defensive minded head 260 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 3: coach was Bill Parcels and that was a lot of 261 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 3: years ago. 262 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: Coaches Prest Conference is brought to you by Hackensack and 263 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: Marital Health.

I think there 343 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 8: was a couple of calls I like to have back 344 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 8: as well, you know, just not finishing in the red zone. 345 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 8: I really thought we could have taken more control of 346 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 8: the game earlier if we had finished some drives in 347 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 8: the red zone. We took some field goals, which which 348 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 8: was which was still good, has kept us in the 349 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 8: flow of it. But there was a couple of missed opportunities, 350 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 8: whether it was penalties or whether it was missed uh, 351 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 8: you know, a poor play call which I thought I 352 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 8: had a couple of those that I want back, but 353 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 8: I'll go back and look at it. But yeah, I'd 354 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 8: just say the early early start of that I could 355 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 8: have helped Jackson. 356 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 12: Now better it me for Tyrone to get over one 357 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 12: hundred yards today. The Tyrone to get over one hundred. 358 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 7: It was great. 359 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 8: I mean, he became he became the third the third 360 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 8: back in Giant's history to have thousand yard back to 361 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 8: back seasons. 362 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 7: So that was a cool milestone for him. But you 363 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 7: heard him. I don't know if you guys. You guys 364 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 7: weren't in the locker room. 365 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 8: But he gave a lot of praise to the offense, 366 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 8: the line, the tight ends, you know, the coaches like 367 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 8: those are the guys that he understands that he understands 368 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 8: that it's an eleven man operation and those guys are 369 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 8: what make it go. And but but he has to 370 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 8: make the plays as well, and he did. He had 371 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 8: opportunities today and he knew he was close to that milestone. 372 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 8: That was cool for him to get. I mean, that's 373 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 8: a pretty big a pretty big deal when you're talking 374 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 8: about the history of the Giants and he's the third 375 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 8: player to do that, So that's pretty cool for him. 376 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 4: Can you talk about the pretensa fin sauce today? 377 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 16: Yeah? 378 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 7: Really? 379 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 8: I mean Ben has been he's been lights out, you know, 380 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 8: he's been doing a really good job for us. And 381 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 8: then he had some opportunities with the extra points and 382 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 8: the field goals early in the game to kind of 383 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 8: keep us up, and he was he was nailing them. 384 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 17: What was your message to the team first game today? 385 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 8: In the life postgame, I just just told him how 386 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 8: proud I was of him for competing, for finishing the 387 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 8: right way. 388 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 7: You know, throughout the week, you know, teams can go 389 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 7: one of two ways. 390 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 8: That these guys just kept on staying on it, kept 391 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 8: on preparing the right way, giving themselves the best opportunity 392 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 8: to get out here and get a win. And then 393 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 8: they came out and played it the right way and 394 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 8: they had a great mindset. They were they were tackling, 395 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 8: they were running, they were blocking, and then they were 396 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 8: making plays, which is at the end of the day, 397 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 8: that's what it's about. You know, your best players making plays. 398 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 8: You had Bobby Okak with an interception, a huge one, 399 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 8: you know, on their side of the field that set 400 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 8: us up for a touchdown there. And then you have 401 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 8: players like Gunner who steps up into roles and you know, 402 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 8: are making plays down the field, right Ben Saals early 403 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 8: in the game, we sputtered in the red zone. He 404 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 8: steps up and makes a play for us and hits 405 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 8: the field goal. So really proud of those guys were stepping. 406 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 16: Up the point. 407 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 12: You know, when you were named interim coach, how long 408 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 12: did it take you and you feel the staff to 409 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 12: just get into the rhythm that you wanted them to have. 410 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 8: You know, I really wasn't concerned about like when we're 411 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 8: going to get into a rhythm. I think very early 412 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 8: on it's just myself communicating as clearly as I can 413 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 8: the standards and how we're going to operate. And so 414 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 8: that was, you know, on my end of it, just 415 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 8: really you know, reinforcing that what I thought was important 416 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 8: and and AND's giving it to them. And these guys 417 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 8: are great coaching staff to work with. They're great coaches, 418 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 8: and so you know, we've been on the same page. 419 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 8: I've been working with them all year, all season. Now 420 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 8: is just in a little bit different role. So just 421 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 8: being really clear with him with what I was you know, expecting, 422 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 8: and then if anything ever came up, we just communicated, 423 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 8: collaborated and got it fixed. 424 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 10: He talked this year about Jackson's growth, But now after 425 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 10: these last two games, two rushing touchdowns, last game, two 426 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 10: passing touchdowns, discipline with this running a little bit more, 427 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 10: what can you see about his growth from when he 428 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 10: started this journey to now where he's the end of 429 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 10: the season. 430 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 8: He's a young quarterback, so you're gonna you're gonna go 431 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 8: through those ups and downs like that's really normal. So 432 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 8: you know, we felt like there there there might have 433 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 8: been a little bit you know, when we had a 434 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 8: couple of rough games, like it's gonna swing, Oh he's 435 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 8: you know this or that. You know, I think Jackson 436 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 8: has done a good job of just staying with his process, 437 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 8: you know, going through and continuing to ramp up this 438 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 8: communication with the players and continue to you know, to 439 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 8: work his tail off. You get the little things cleaned up, 440 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 8: the details, right, his footwork, the mechanics where his eyes 441 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 8: are gonna his eye progression. So I thought Jackson kind 442 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 8: of blocked out all that noise, and you see this 443 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 8: a player who's continuing to grow and continuing to learn, 444 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 8: and the more reps he's getting, the more information he's 445 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 8: in the bank. And now you know, you can spring 446 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 8: board that into into the off season or now he's 447 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 8: going to continue to grow and learn and all those 448 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 8: things that we kind of went through the first time around, 449 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 8: Now he's seen it two, three, four or five times. 450 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 8: Now that memory banks and a kick in for him 451 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 8: because he rarely makes the same mistake twice. So this 452 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 8: is going to be a great off season for him, 453 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 8: and it was a great way for him to cap 454 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 8: off the season. 455 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 5: Two more, What did you. 456 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 17: Think about the way he bounced back from the game 457 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 17: against the Findings. These past two games, he really seemed 458 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 17: to like his stride. What did you think about his 459 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 17: ability to kind of brush that off and bounce back? 460 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's those are these are all the qualities that 461 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 8: we saw very early on with him in the in 462 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 8: the draft process. And his ability to, you know, after 463 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 8: an interception or after a bad play, what does he 464 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 8: do the very next play? And so you study that, 465 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 8: you look at it and it's, hey, we're stepping up. 466 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 8: He's throwing a big time shot. Or he steps up, 467 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 8: throws a touchdown, our runs and scrambles and gets a 468 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 8: big play. So he has a very quick memory in 469 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 8: that sense, and that's a good quality for a quarterback. 470 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 8: When things go wrong, you flush it and. 471 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 7: You move on. You get back on track and get 472 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 7: back on the attack. 473 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 8: And I think Jackson, and I know Jackson has that mindset, 474 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 8: that aggressive mentality to do that, and he's shown it going. 475 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 12: Into the off season. You know, now is the time 476 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 12: you start developing and putting plans in place for the team. 477 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 12: Given the status introim, how do you approach that? 478 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 7: You know, I haven't looked that far ahead. 479 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 8: You know, we're just gonna enjoy tonight, we'll have I 480 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 8: have the plan, we have plans laid out, We've had 481 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 8: those conversations.

Pellinger made 516 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 19: himself available and the Giants with an improbable third down 517 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 19: conversion score. 518 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: And that was the culmination of a eleven play, ninety 519 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: six yard drive that took two minutes and twenty nine seconds. 520 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: They get the Giants a sixteen to ten lead going 521 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: into the half. 522 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: The driver was kept alive by a Kenneth Murray unnecessary 523 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: roughness penalty on the sideline. Giants capitalized on it, drove 524 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: down the field a little shovel pass from Jackson Darda 525 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: after avoiding a sack on a screen pass got it 526 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: to Bellinger who ran it in for a touchdown. That 527 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: was today's scoring drive of the game, brought to you 528 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 2: by Citizens. For every scoring drive this season, Citizens will 529 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: donate seven hundred and fifty dollars to the Giants Foundation 530 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: to support their work tackling important community issues, improving over 531 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: our health and empowering our youth. And Bob Tik and 532 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: I talked about this in the pregame. The results weren't 533 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: what you needed them to be, obviously, but you do 534 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: have to give Mike kaf the credit. Being an interim 535 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: head coach in this league is very, very difficult. You 536 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: coming on a Monday, you've never been head coach before. 537 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: You can't even kind of do everything you want to 538 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: do as head coach because it's such a short timeframe 539 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 2: to take over and get him ready for a game 540 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: six days later. But he did that, and for the 541 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 2: most part, the Giants were competitive under his leadership, and 542 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: he did a nice job. 543 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look what he inherited. He inherited a 544 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 4: discipline problem. I mean his very first game as head coach, 545 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: Abdul Carter missed the entire first series and then a 546 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 4: couple a game later, Abdul Carter wound up missing an 547 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 4: entire quarter. Right, So he inherited, he inherited bad culture. 548 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: So not only are you being a head coach for 549 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: the first time, but you're inheriting things that clearly he 550 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 4: saw as a member of the staff that he was like, 551 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 4: if I ever become a head coach in the league, 552 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 4: this is not going to be allowed. Right, Oh guess 553 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 4: what tag you're it. You're now the head coach. To 554 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: his credit, he put his foot down and he create 555 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 4: add a level of accountability. So we got they got 556 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 4: the car to things straightened out. 557 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 5: But look at the level of accountability. Look what that 558 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 5: did to Abdul Carter. 559 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, no matter what happens, if that 560 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: is the legacy of Mike Kafka, that he figured out 561 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: a way to get that guy in the right path 562 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 2: to get it turns out to be what we think 563 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: he's going to turn out to be. That's not a 564 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: bad thing to happen to the right. 565 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 4: Of also help develop Jackson Dart of course, which is 566 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 4: another positive. And then listen, he made the call to 567 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: get make the change a defensive coordinator and he put 568 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 4: a guy in as defensive coordinator in Charlie Bollen, who 569 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: has never called a defense as a defensive coordinator, learning 570 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: literally on the job on the NFL level, but he's had. 571 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 5: Some good influencers vance Joseph down in Miami. 572 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, and what he was able to do was figure 573 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 4: out ways to use pieces to the puzzle that we 574 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 4: all thought would be used from the beginning of the season. 575 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 4: And you know, give Charlie Bollen some credit too for 576 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 4: trying to get the most out of a flawed group. 577 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 4: We know that they've got issues at corner. We know 578 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: they got issues at safety, we know they have issues 579 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 4: at inside back er. But at least he took his 580 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 4: better players and figured out ways to give them a 581 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: chance to succeed. And Tikky, you know this better than 582 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 4: anybody that's talking right now or listening. Being on a team, 583 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 4: there are relationships within buildings and you can't expect an 584 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 4: entire coaching staff to all get along. There's some guys 585 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: like other guys, and there are clicks, and there are 586 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: all this other stuff. And you could see with Charlotte, 587 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 4: with Mike Caffert, what he did was looking he he 588 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 4: elevated the old line coach, the tight ends. 589 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: Coach to the O C. 590 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 20: Tim Kelly, so clearly things were happening that there were 591 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 20: a group of them that didn't really like the way 592 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 20: things were going, but they were good soldiers under the 593 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 20: previous administration, and when they got their chance, they made 594 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 20: their changes. 595 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 596 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: I think one of the hard things about being a 597 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 3: head coach is that you need to get the best 598 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 3: out of your players, right, And that's why Dave's I 599 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 3: think was really good, especially early at being a player's coach, 600 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: Like guys would run through walls for him. 601 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 5: They didn't mind the screaming and yelling. 602 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: It's a completely different job to coach your coaches, though, 603 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 3: and to have them all on the same page, and 604 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 3: it's a challenge that I think the Giants need to 605 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 3: be cognitive when they're looking for their next head coach, 606 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: like who can build that relationship with the staff because 607 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: it might be different people. You might not know these 608 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 3: guys that come in and become your whatever linebacker coach 609 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 3: or defensive coordinator or offensive coordinator or whatever it may be. 610 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 3: It's one thing with the players, it's a different thing 611 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 3: with the coaches because think about the dysfunction that the Giants. 612 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: Have had in that situation over the last few years. 613 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 3: I mean, Joe Judge is punching out his offensive line coach, 614 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: or maybe the offensive line coach is punching him. It 615 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: just you can't have that in an organization because ultimately 616 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: it all starts to trickle down and things just fall apart. 617 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the other thing too, was you also there 618 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 4: has to be a line of delineation between the head 619 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 4: like this whole thing about players coaches, Tikky. I've been 620 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: part of the pre and the postgame show since nineteen 621 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 4: eighty eight. Parcels was here, Wow, then Dan Reeves I 622 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 4: was here with the ray handlet like I've seen them 623 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 4: all right, And at the end of the day, the 624 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 4: guys that have had success here are the ones that. 625 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 5: Rule with an iron. 626 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 3: Fist, Like, yeah, you treat the players with respect, but 627 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 3: you don't let them get away with Jack. 628 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 2: You said a high standard and hold every single player 629 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: to that same high standard. 630 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 4: Correct, And too many times there's been sliding scales. And 631 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: you know, unfortunately, you know, prior to Kafka taking over, 632 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: there was exceptions made for some guys and not for others. 633 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 4: And Buddy, Buddy, like you can't you can't be listen. 634 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, prior regime, same thing with certain guys. 635 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 4: Correct and listen part they had they had different rules 636 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 4: with Lawrence Taylor. 637 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 5: But ye, Lawrence Taylor was a different. 638 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: From game one. No, forget that from practice one. 639 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 4: He was a different game right, But there still were 640 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: certain things that were expected of and I think there 641 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 4: was too much Buddy Buddy, So Kafka had to inherit 642 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 4: that and then try to change that. 643 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 5: Wally. 644 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 3: It was, you know the interesting thing, Bob, You know, 645 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: not to just go in a retrospective of this Giants regime, 646 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 3: this current one and Dave's not here anymore. It felt 647 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 3: like it was that way when Dave first started, right, 648 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 3: remember the you gotta earn your you know your job, 649 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 3: you gotta earn your playing time. And then that slowly 650 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: faded away, and then guys started getting away with things. 651 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 3: And when that happens, and the the the players start 652 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: being the more I don't want to say dominant, but 653 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, they can set their own 654 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: personal agendas. 655 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 5: That's when things get in That's when you get in trouble. 656 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I mean, and that's and that's why I 657 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 4: say it an experienced, someone with head coaching, experienced, successful experience, 658 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 4: really needs to come in and reset this whole just. 659 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 3: To finish that thought. And this is going back to 660 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 3: Tom Laughlin.

You are so psyched to see Tyrone Tracy 710 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: get a second consecutive one thousand scrimmage yards year. 711 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm pumped next year. 712 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 2: The Tracy scatterable backfield that is gonna be really fun 713 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 2: to watch. 714 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, you see it in certain certain places. Guys, the 715 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: teams that have two good running backs and they're not 716 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 3: two different running backs, you. 717 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: Have to change the scheme. It's the same type of player. 718 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 3: They can do the same things, whether it's catching the 719 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 3: ball out of the backfield, running between the tackles, or 720 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 3: to the edges, whatever it may be. Those two that 721 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: this is if Cam comes back healthy and the same 722 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 3: vigor and attitude, and you know, well he'll have that, right, 723 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: It's just a if he's gonna be effective doing it 724 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: like he was at the early part of the season 725 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: makes it exciting. I Mean, we talked in the pregame 726 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 3: John about some of the pieces you can build upon 727 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: from this season. And someone is a loss, it is 728 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: a lost season, but you can build upon what Jackson 729 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: Dart has started to do. You can build on Tyrone Tracy, 730 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 3: some of these pieces on the offensive line, Brian Burns, 731 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 3: Abdul Carter, et cetera. And then you just gotta start 732 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: accenting the places that have some deficiencies, whether it's linebacker, 733 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 3: depth of cornerback, et cetera, particularly wide receiver. 734 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: And this team could get good next year. 735 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 3: I'm not saying they're going to the playoffs or winning 736 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: twelve games or whatever. 737 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: It may be. 738 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 3: Like you've seen the Jacksonville Jaguars, or the New Emand Patriots, 739 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 3: or the Chicago Bears. But with the right coaching staff, 740 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 3: this team has talent. It's just a matter of finding 741 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 3: and figuring out how to win. I think it was 742 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 3: Carl Mecklenberg for the Broncos, Bob with the pick six 743 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 3: down mcnill trying to get the top sea. 744 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 4: I think it was former Giant Ray Agnew who's now 745 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 4: the assistant GM in Detroit. 746 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: I was talking with him before the game. 747 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 5: His I think it was his son. 748 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 4: That was Scataboo's running backs coach, at Sacramento State was 749 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 4: the last name Lay Yeah, I think it was his 750 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 4: running back coach at Sacramine because he is Sacramento. He 751 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 4: was bombed that Scataboo was hurt because he really wanted 752 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 4: to see He's they're all close with the family, and 753 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: he was like, listen, Camp Scataboo is a lot better 754 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 4: running back then people think he is. Like you know, 755 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 4: the whole smashing his head against the wall and the 756 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 4: battering ram stuff and all the things that fans fell 757 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 4: in love with. He's a lot more skilled as a 758 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 4: running back than you think, right, his instincts in his 759 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: in his avoidability and all these other things. So it'll 760 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 4: be interesting to see, uh you know that combination. I 761 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 4: still think they probably need to fill the room out 762 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 4: a little bit more, But look, they gotta get we 763 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 4: don't know when Neighbors is actually going to be back, right, 764 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 4: but they gotta they gotta fix this wide receiver room 765 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 4: because you just can't keep going into the season this 766 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: thing wide. 767 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: Just look at the division, Bob. 768 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 3: Every one of these teams have two really good wide 769 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 3: receiver as well as Debo where and Andy McLaurin down 770 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 3: in Washington, and obviously a j Brown and Andante Smith 771 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 3: and Philly and Pickets, and I mean pretty much it's 772 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 3: necessary actually in a quarterback driven league. 773 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: And I think darts ready downstairs, lu see, I didn't 774 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: hear you. 775 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, okay, And guys, I think it's interesting how 776 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: you structure it, right, because you have Slaton who's gonna 777 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 2: be here for at least one more year on the contract, 778 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: and that's a. 779 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 4: Tough contract to deal with right now, because you want 780 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 4: to keep Wandelle Robinson, right. 781 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: That's the thing. You have neighbors come off to the injury. 782 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: Then you decide if you're want to sign Wandell, but 783 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 2: you probably also just don't want those three guys, right, 784 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 2: you're gonna want to add to that, So I don't think, 785 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 2: and it's not a great for agency class. 786 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: You can go out there and pay another veteran wide receiver, 787 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: so you would have to hand the money, That's what 788 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying. 789 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: So you would have to then draft one, and to 790 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 2: quote the great Tiki Barber, you don't I'll power phrase 791 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: to Ticky Barber, you don't want to depend on rookies 792 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 2: because that's I know wide receivers A lot of times 793 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 2: they do come in and they're ready to go. But 794 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 2: even this year, like Matthew Golden, he was not first 795 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 2: round pick wide receiver. He didn't give him a ton 796 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: a mega Buca started really fast. He didn't end up 797 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 2: having a because you don't know how to stay healthy. 798 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 2: First of all, right, well you don't know the length 799 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: of the season. It becomes it becomes draining now. But 800 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 2: I'm still in favor of drafting one. By the way, 801 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's hard to expect. They got to 802 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 2: come in right away and save the room. 803 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 4: But then you gotta draft the right one. They traded 804 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 4: up for Jaal and Hyatt. The guy has been in 805 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 4: the league for three years. He never had a touchdown, catch, 806 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 4: any's healthy, scratch. So what they need to do is 807 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 4: they need to draft somebody in the second round or 808 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 4: third round who is going to eventually, because of athleticism, speed, size, performance, 809 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 4: will eventually replace Slayton, but doesn't have to replace him 810 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 4: on day one. But but you got to get somebody 811 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 4: about you. You can't keep going into the season with 812 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 4: him as your number two. You're getting the same production 813 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 4: year after year after year. 814 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 5: You gotta upgrade it. It's a passing. 815 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 2: No and that's the point I was going to, I think, 816 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: and that's where the high thing is so costly correct. 817 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 2: But I think that's I think your point is correct. 818 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 2: You take the three guys again, we'll see I won 819 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 2: the ramis in his back or not. But if you 820 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 2: have those three to hold the fort, and then you 821 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,959 Speaker 2: develop that wide receiver to move in at some point 822 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 2: whenever he's ready, you hopefully it's suit rather than later, right, 823 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 2: but you never know what young players. 824 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: And that's I think how you have to approach the business. 825 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 22: Now. 826 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: It is it is, and that's how other teams have 827 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: done it. Some teams have done it. 828 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 3: The Eagles have done it by trading for a big 829 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 3: name wide receiver who was on the outs in his 830 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 3: first stop in Tennessee. 831 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: And they traded up for Devonte's And now you'll trade up. 832 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 5: For Devonte Smith. So you have that drafted guy. 833 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 3: The question is who can you get in free agency 834 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,839 Speaker 3: v or via trade if you don't want a draft 835 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 3: I think otherwise. I think, Bob, you're right, you got 836 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 3: a draft a guy in the second third round. 837 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 5: There's a bunch of them. There's a bunch of top 838 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 5: hundred receivers. 839 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 2: He's always why receivers every year And and I think 840 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: your instinct is right on this, Bob. If you if 841 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 2: you surprise all of us and you're just great right away, fantastic, 842 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 2: you're number two. 843 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: It is what it is. 844 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 3: But if you're not, you still have Darius Slayton on 845 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 3: this team, who you know, when he learns to catch 846 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 3: the ball more consistently, that he can be a viable 847 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 3: piece for Jackson Dart next year. 848 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 849 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: Look, you have to put there are two things cart right. 850 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: They need weapons and that's what we're talking about right now. 851 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 2: You also need protection and that's the other. And to me, 852 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 2: this is the biggest question the Giants have to figure 853 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 2: out this offseason, Bob, and you and Carl talked about 854 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 2: this a little bit. Jermaine A. Lumino is a free agent. 855 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 2: Greg Van rowans a free agent. We gotta figure out 856 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 2: who he wants to play again. He might want to retire, 857 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 2: so he's, you know, thirty five years old. We got 858 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 2: to see where he's at. Do you trust Marcus bo 859 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 2: to step in and start next year? 860 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: In Week one? 861 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: I think he's shown you enough that you think he 862 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 2: might be able to. But given where this offensive line 863 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 2: has been over the past ten years. I think to 864 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 2: go away from what worked has a level of risk 865 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 2: to it, and you have to decide what's your level 866 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 2: of risk acceptance is in terms of that versus how 867 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,720 Speaker 2: much you might want to have to spend to retain 868 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: a guy like illumin or where there's look gonna be demand. 869 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 2: We saw last year what the offensive tackles made in 870 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 2: free agency about look what Dan Moore made as a 871 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 2: free agent from Pittsburgh and l Lumna's probably had a 872 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 2: better year than what dan moore had and look at 873 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: the money that he got. So that, to me is 874 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: gonna be the biggest biggest answer the Giants are going 875 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 2: to have to find is how they continue this upward 876 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 2: tick of offensive line play. And the other part of 877 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 2: that is calmen Brisillo, who's been a three offensive line 878 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 2: coach year best one since Pat Flaherty was here. 879 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: Do you retain him with whomever the new head coach? 880 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 4: And Staph is well, it's you know, how much do 881 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 4: you want to pay a guy who's been a good 882 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 4: player play maybe played his best ball for you, meaning 883 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 4: that with the Giants. But when free agency hits in March, 884 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 4: he'll be thirty one and a half yep heading to 885 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 4: thirty two next December, Like how much do you want 886 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 4: to get into bed with that? And then what do 887 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 4: you do about the guard positions? What do you you know, 888 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 4: the center position. Schmid's was better this year, but I'm 889 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 4: not necessarily sure that he's been what they had drafted 890 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 4: him to be as a second round pick and a 891 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 4: guy as an emerging Pro Bowl caliber play. 892 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, Runyan's a free agent and Schmid's 893 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: after next year. 894 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 5: Right, so you got to figure all that out. It's 895 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 5: it's very dicey. 896 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 4: The one thing I will say is you could speak 897 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 4: to this because you experienced, uh some coaching changes with 898 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 4: the Giants, But it feels like around the league, offensive 899 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 4: line coaches survive coaching changes. They do more than any 900 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 4: other position because it's the one place where you need continuity. 901 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 4: You need someone who's teaching the same thing over and 902 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 4: over and over and over again, and so guys come 903 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 4: in and they're not relearning how to do certain techniques 904 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 4: or whatever it may be. If Bristillo did say, by 905 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 4: the way, he is on their contract and he would 906 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 4: love to be here, if if he's if if if 907 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 4: wanted he I think they're all under contract for it 908 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 4: sounds that way nice, and so it's just that's gonna 909 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 4: be the decision for the new head coach, and obviously 910 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 4: Joe Shane is a part of that as. 911 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 2: Well, no question about it. We're waiting Jackson dart to 912 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 2: podium downstairs. My understanding is that he should be ready 913 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 2: to go very very soon here. So I'll hang out 914 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: and wait for that. But dude, keep drafting offensive lineman two, 915 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 2: Like that's what good teams do. Good the Eagles. Look 916 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: at the Cowboys and the teams. 917 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 7: That have this year. 918 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,959 Speaker 4: I was excited about what I saw in training camp 919 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 4: and in the preseason of josh a Zuduit Garden. 920 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: He did a nice job. 921 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, like when on I 922 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 4: are and then he was designated in return and we 923 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 4: never saw him again. Yeah right, I'd be curious. I mean, 924 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 4: and he's free, right, no one year left, so he's 925 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 4: on a rookie deal. There's no reason for him not 926 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,280 Speaker 4: to be back competing for something. 927 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 2: Question now, And I think you came around and you 928 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 2: let him compete in training cap next year. I think 929 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 2: that's absolutely right. All right, let's go down to the 930 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 2: podium press conferences are brought to you by met Life, 931 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 2: the official insurance company of the New York Giants.

Oh yeah, just had like a double sided 981 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 14: screen fake to one side. 982 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 13: And the guy got up filled fast.

You know, we had 1151 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 13: a lot of guys down and I just have the 1152 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 13: utmost confidence and all the guys around me to make plays. 1153 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 14: And I try to give that belief to everybody around me. 1154 00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 13: And you know, I just want the guys to know that, 1155 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 13: you know, regardless of the situation, I'm gonna give it 1156 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 13: my all to win a game. 1157 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 14: And uh, you know that was that was very nice. 1158 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 2: I'm to say, thank God that is Jackson Dart. Before 1159 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 2: we take a time out, guys, I want to get 1160 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 2: to one more piece of sound. I want to throw 1161 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 2: one quote out there that Dart said that I thought 1162 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 2: was just emblematic of his attitude, which I think you 1163 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 2: have to like, we cannot accept this year and allow 1164 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,879 Speaker 2: it to happen. Ever again, now easier said than done, 1165 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 2: of course, obviously, but that, Tiaki, is what you want. 1166 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 3: It's what you want from leaders, you want from your 1167 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 3: coaches as we were talking about earlier, to set the expectation, 1168 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 3: but it also has to happen from the player standpoint 1169 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 3: as well. The players talk to each other a lot 1170 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 3: more than the coaches do, and so you got to 1171 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 3: have those guys that understand what it takes to win 1172 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 3: and then are pushing that down on the rest of 1173 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 3: the team. And Jackson Dart is going to be important. 1174 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 3: He's one of those guys that has to do that. 1175 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 3: I think Brian Burns on the defensive side of the ball, 1176 00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 3: as someone who has to do that. And the more 1177 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 3: more of that you get, the easier it becomes to 1178 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,320 Speaker 3: start pulling the sled in the same direction. And so 1179 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,320 Speaker 3: I think you speak it and it sounds cliche, but 1180 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 3: let's face it, man, in the NFL, you live by cliches. 1181 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 5: It's just right. 1182 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 3: It's all stupid stuff that doesn't mean anything in the 1183 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 3: real world, but it means something to football players because 1184 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 3: it's true. I mean, it's it's one of the sports 1185 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 3: are one of the few professions where you get judged immediately. 1186 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:27,959 Speaker 1: It's not like, let's wait to the quarter. 1187 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 3: Let's see how our quarter is not even not a 1188 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 3: football quarter, I mean like a quarter of the year, 1189 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 3: and let's do an evaluation. Let's wait, do we get 1190 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,320 Speaker 3: to the and see if we get we get do 1191 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 3: I get a bonus at the end of the year. 1192 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 3: I mean, you get judged every single week, and it's 1193 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,960 Speaker 3: a it's a it's it's just constant reiterations of trying 1194 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 3: to do the right things over and over and over again. 1195 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 3: It's and it's not easy because the other team is 1196 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 3: paid too, and the other team is coached well too. 1197 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,520 Speaker 3: And you know, if the Giants can find a way 1198 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 3: to create a heightened expectation where failure, as Jackson Dart 1199 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 3: just was alluding to, is simply not an option. 1200 00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: You're going to get better. 1201 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 4: Well, it brings me to a point that I wanted 1202 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,320 Speaker 4: to make because Tiki, you could relate to this a 1203 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 4: little bit. So Giant quarterbacks Phil Simms twice, Joe Pizarchik, 1204 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones, Kent Graham, Tommy DeVito as rookies were zero 1205 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,760 Speaker 4: and six against the Cowboys. The only Giant rookie quarterback 1206 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 4: to ever beat the Dallas Cowboys was Eli Manning in 1207 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 4: two thousand and four in the final game of the season. 1208 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 4: The season against the Cowboys, and Eli Jackson Dart happened 1209 00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 4: to play at Old Miss. Eli played at Old Miss 1210 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,400 Speaker 4: and and Tiki, you know, you know Eli, he came 1211 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,919 Speaker 4: from a winning family. He came He's got a brother 1212 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 4: who was already a stud in the league. His father 1213 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 4: was a fantastic player, Like there was something about him 1214 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,399 Speaker 4: right where he was gonna That game kind of catapulted 1215 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 4: him to become a better player, and you made the 1216 00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 4: playoffs each of the next two years. It feels like 1217 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 4: Jackson Dart, although he expresses it one hundred and eighty 1218 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,080 Speaker 4: degrees opposite of the way, and Eli would like what 1219 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 4: this game for him personally as far as his growth 1220 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 4: could mean, Like it was for Eli. 1221 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,800 Speaker 5: Now Eli had you, Eli. 1222 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 4: Had Plexico, Eli had Jeremy Shockey, Eli had him moning 1223 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 4: tomor I kill you it Still Eli had a really 1224 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 4: good offensive line that was starting to grow, and he 1225 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 4: had a defense that was a lot better than this defense. 1226 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:27,680 Speaker 1: Right. 1227 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,400 Speaker 4: But with that all said, what did it mean for 1228 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: you and your What do you think it meant for 1229 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 4: Eli winning that game as far. 1230 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 1: As that next step, I think it was it was 1231 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,839 Speaker 1: something you could carry over. 1232 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 3: And we had this conversation John and I in the 1233 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 3: pregame three games or so, and again. 1234 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 5: It's never about the team. 1235 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,040 Speaker 3: All the team's gonna win this game and then next 1236 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 3: year they're gonna carry that momentum. 1237 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,359 Speaker 1: That works if you have the same coach. 1238 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 3: Dan Campbell was the example we brought up when they 1239 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,720 Speaker 3: went three and thirteen and immediately start well, not immediately 1240 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 3: because they started that next season, oh, win six or 1241 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 3: seven whatever it was, but then they end up winning 1242 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 3: a bunch of games and almost made the playoffs, and 1243 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 3: so momentum matters when the coaching is consistent, but winning 1244 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 3: matters for individuals when you know there's a quarterback or 1245 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 3: a coach change around the corner. And that's what the 1246 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 3: Giants are facing right now. And so it's about Abdul 1247 00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 3: Carter figuring out his process, how he's going to go 1248 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,720 Speaker 3: through a week, how he's going to get there early, 1249 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 3: how he's going to do the go the extra mile 1250 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 3: in order to try to be great and want to 1251 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 3: be great. And I think the Giants have players that 1252 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 3: are starting to figure that out. This is a young team, man. 1253 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 3: They were the fourth youngest team in the NFL to 1254 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 3: start the season, and again they probably got younger because 1255 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 3: of all the young players that ended up having to 1256 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 3: play as the season went on. 1257 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 5: And you learn something, and you learn something by winning. 1258 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,360 Speaker 5: This is why winning. 1259 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 3: Despite the draft hit that it's going to take, you're 1260 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 3: no longer in the driver's seat to be you know, 1261 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,160 Speaker 3: to get the second pick of the draft, or even 1262 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 3: the first pick of the draft that they had lost, 1263 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 3: depending on what happens with the Las Vegas Raiders. But 1264 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 3: that almost doesn't matter. They're gonna draft too. They're gonna draft. 1265 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 3: It's all about creating the situation where everybody starts to 1266 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 3: feel comfortable. And I know for Eli he felt really 1267 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 3: comfortable going into a second year, and it's the reason 1268 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 3: we won ten games in two thousand and five. And 1269 00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,000 Speaker 3: I think Jackson Dart is starting to get there where 1270 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 3: he started to feel like, all right, I get this, 1271 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 3: I understand it now, and I know what it's gonna 1272 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,439 Speaker 3: take in order for us to get to be really 1273 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:23,919 Speaker 3: good in twenty twenty six. 1274 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Giants, by the way, right now, as 1275 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,280 Speaker 2: Tiki mentioned, will be picking anywhere between third and sixth, 1276 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 2: depending on the results of the Jets game with the 1277 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. That game right now, the Bills lead fourteenth 1278 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 2: to nothing. The game Rams and Cardinals, that game is 1279 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 2: tied at six, despite the fact the Rams are actually 1280 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,000 Speaker 2: playing their guys this week. That game tied at six, 1281 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 2: and then the o they gain to keep an eye 1282 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 2: is the Patriots and the Dolphins. Patriots lead that game 1283 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,759 Speaker 2: fourteen to seven. Dolphins are about to punt it deep 1284 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 2: in their own territory. Who yours is actually played pretty 1285 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 2: well for the Dolphins, and the chance he's got the play. 1286 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:54,920 Speaker 1: Good for him. 1287 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 4: Whether they're picking third or six, man, it doesn't really matter. 1288 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 4: You'd better pick the right players correct. Unfortunately they've been picking. 1289 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 4: But it feels like third and six for the last 1290 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 4: five years. 1291 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 3: Right, you're having right, No, you're absolutely some of them 1292 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 3: have worked, right, League Dabors you know in theory, he's 1293 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,919 Speaker 3: gonna work because he was. He's a young star player. 1294 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 3: And it looks like Abdul Carter's gonna looks like Abdul 1295 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 3: Carter started to turn that corner. But it's all about 1296 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 3: stacking it. It's stacking success and that's winning games on 1297 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:23,880 Speaker 3: Sunday afternoons. But it's also drafting well and developing. 1298 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:24,080 Speaker 1: Those guys well. 1299 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 2: And I always say this, there's always gonna be a 1300 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 2: guy that's available to be picked that's going to be 1301 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,120 Speaker 2: a very good football player. 1302 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 1: You just got to figure out which guy it's gonna be. 1303 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 1: And that's where it gets tough. 1304 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 2: You got to have good coaching stuff to develop those players, 1305 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,440 Speaker 2: because is one thing to pick them.

Obviously I wanted to have a 1351 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 21: good game, but I just you can't really press to 1352 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 21: you know, for the yards, you can't press to make 1353 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 21: a play. You really just got allowed to come to you. 1354 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 21: And that's really just had a g game win.

You see, that's longer than 1383 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 21: our thought, you know what I'm saying. But yeah, to 1384 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,640 Speaker 21: get to get a win today was obviously big for 1385 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:39,640 Speaker 21: the end of the season, but also going into next 1386 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 21: season and obviously feel a little bit better when you 1387 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 21: beat the Cowboys. 1388 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 14: What did Jackson show you today, you know, closing out 1389 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 14: this freaky season? 1390 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean really, I won't even say today really 1391 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,520 Speaker 21: just the end of the season. Obviously it didn't the 1392 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 21: season wasn't going as we wanted. But he never wavered, 1393 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 21: he never lost confidence, never lost faith, the true leader, 1394 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 21: leader of men. So when you have that, you know, 1395 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 21: as your quarterback, as your core piece, it's I'm not 1396 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 21: gonna say it's easy, but it's easier to build around 1397 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 21: it because you have that that person that's leading the 1398 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 21: team and a lot of the things that the coach 1399 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 21: says that he don't really have to say because you know, 1400 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 21: we have a quarterback that's going. 1401 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 14: To say it, like that little ba can flip the balancher. 1402 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 21: Oh yeah, he's a he's a he's a baller, man, 1403 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 21: he's a baller. Like you can't teach that, Like you can, 1404 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 21: you can watch film, you can, you can study, you 1405 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 21: can do everything, but like you can't teach you know, 1406 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 21: how to ball when when the lights come on, and 1407 01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 21: that he's just that's just an instinct and obviously he's 1408 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 21: been doing that since since he was you know, little, 1409 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 21: so when he does it now, it's probably second nature 1410 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:36,920 Speaker 21: to him. 1411 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 7: You know. 1412 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 3: One thing that, uh, that Mike Kafka said in his 1413 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 3: press conference for referencing Tyrone Tracy is that he's a 1414 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 3: third player in Giant history to start his first two 1415 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 3: seasons with a thousand plus yards. 1416 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,240 Speaker 5: The other two were Odell Beckham juniors. We all remember who. 1417 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 3: Had those two exceptional years to start his career, and 1418 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 3: then say Quon Barkley. In the history of the New 1419 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 3: York Giants, it hasn't happened a lot. And we were 1420 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 3: trying to figure it out because. 1421 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 4: We like, who is he talking about in the scrimmage archs, 1422 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 4: because we were looking at like Joe Marris. 1423 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 5: But then we realized first two years. 1424 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,480 Speaker 2: Right, and I think we're also looking at running back first, 1425 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 2: and well like running backs like we couldn't think so 1426 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:14,520 Speaker 2: who the second guy was, because I did. 1427 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: I didn't figure it out till two thousand. 1428 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 3: So it took it took some time for some guy, 1429 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 3: for some of these for some of the players in 1430 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 3: Giant history to become the players that they ultimately were, 1431 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:25,640 Speaker 3: you know, these Ring of Honor guys. 1432 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 5: But Tyrone. 1433 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 3: Tracy has done it from the very beginning, and we 1434 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:30,320 Speaker 3: saw it last year. I'll never forget it was up 1435 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 3: it was out in uh uh was that San Diego? 1436 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 1: Who was that? Who was it? 1437 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 5: They played? 1438 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:35,040 Speaker 1: Not San Diego? 1439 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 3: It was I was calling the game, and I can't remember. 1440 01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:39,680 Speaker 3: But he broke off a couple of seattle, a couple 1441 01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,840 Speaker 3: of big runs and setting up blocks and and just 1442 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 3: very good vision for a guy who's only playing running 1443 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 3: back for the third time, our third season in his 1444 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 3: in his young career, obviously once in college. In these 1445 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 3: first two years. He's got great instincts and he can 1446 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 3: catch the ball down the field. It's so valuable in 1447 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 3: today's offense, so it be impressive. 1448 01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,120 Speaker 1: But they played San Diego last year. It's just funny, 1449 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:03,000 Speaker 1: all right. 1450 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 2: Kutchewski with one hundred yards receiving today, one hundred plus 1451 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,000 Speaker 2: yards receiving today.

And he 1526 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 3: always is catching the ball consistently the same way. And 1527 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 3: he's been a reliable returner for this team for the 1528 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:43,120 Speaker 3: last two years. 1529 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,320 Speaker 5: So let me tell you the story about and. 1530 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 2: By the way, great job Totino getting him his Gunner 1531 01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 2: is a great dude, does not love doing media. 1532 01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:52,120 Speaker 1: Excellent job by Paul getting him in the locker room. 1533 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: And he's loosened up a little bit. 1534 01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:54,960 Speaker 5: Yes, he has loosened up. 1535 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 4: Like I said, I've gotten ah know him a little 1536 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 4: bit from hanging out in the office the back of 1537 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 4: the cafteria. But he grew up in Alvin, Texas, where 1538 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 4: the famous Nolan Ryan was born and raised. He winds 1539 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 4: up playing college football in Minnesota at Pamigee State now 1540 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:11,680 Speaker 4: Bamigi Bigie. 1541 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 1: It almost sounds like a joke. Where go to school Bamigi. 1542 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 4: Bamigie is famous for. That's like the curling capital of 1543 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 4: the United States. That's where all the curling is in 1544 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 4: the United States. A lot of the curling sheets and 1545 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,600 Speaker 4: all that stuff were in Bamigie, and they that's where 1546 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 4: most of the curlers come from in the Olympic ice sport. 1547 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 5: Bob knows this from calling the Olympics. Yeah, but think 1548 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 5: about this. 1549 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 4: The guy played cornerback at Pemigee State, right, and then 1550 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 4: Bill Belichick identified him and figured out that this could 1551 01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,080 Speaker 4: be another Edelman or something like that. 1552 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: It never really turned out to that level or. 1553 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 2: At least like a Matthew Slater type, right like especial 1554 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 2: teams aysh And. 1555 01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 4: He kind of hung around hunting around. He found his nitch. 1556 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 4: Remember he had the return for a touchdown last year 1557 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 4: for the Giants. He catches the ball he doesn't fumble 1558 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 4: the ball. I mean the ferocious hit he took in 1559 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,720 Speaker 4: Foxboro on that kickoff return, I don't think anybody would 1560 01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 4: have held onto that one. 1561 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 5: And he was unconscious. Yeah, so he's a good receiver. 1562 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 5: I listen. 1563 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 4: I know people were joking, but like, I was at 1564 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 4: practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so I sat through or 1565 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,160 Speaker 4: was there for the ninety minute practice with my sons 1566 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,520 Speaker 4: and then the two hour practice on Thursday, and the 1567 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,880 Speaker 4: energy level a practice was fantastic. 1568 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 1: It has been all year. 1569 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 4: And I was saying to my sons, I'm like, man, 1570 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 4: because Wandell had the ribs and he wasn't practicing and 1571 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,920 Speaker 4: he was getting treatment, and I'm like, dude, look at 1572 01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 4: all these rocks they got gun and Gunner was dominating 1573 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:36,480 Speaker 4: in practice. 1574 01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: He did it in the summer too, when he got opportunities. 1575 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,640 Speaker 4: And I'm like, I think Gunner's gonna have a big, 1576 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 4: big game this Sunday, And uh, good for him because 1577 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,560 Speaker 4: he's I mean, like what his body goes through.

He's fearless when he catches those 1580 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:54,800 Speaker 4: slants and stuff over them. 1581 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:56,680 Speaker 2: But he is the right type of crazy to be 1582 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,040 Speaker 2: successful in the National Football It's interesting when you talk 1583 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 2: about that practice because it seems like it's an afterthought, 1584 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:04,720 Speaker 2: you just just going through the motions. 1585 01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 3: But how you practice matters because it starts to build 1586 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 3: trust with your quarterback. And when you practice hard, you know, 1587 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 3: you start to understand what it's gonna take to play 1588 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 3: on Sundays. And I think Gunner is one of those 1589 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 3: guys that he's so necessary for teams. Not saying he's 1590 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 3: necessary for the Giants going forward, but guys like that 1591 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 3: are necessary because they give an example even if they're 1592 01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 3: not the star. 1593 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:32,400 Speaker 4: And Bellinger had great practices this week too, and it 1594 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,960 Speaker 4: was good to see him get that catch and ron 1595 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 4: for a touchdown. 1596 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,200 Speaker 2: All Right, I got a trivia question for you guys. 1597 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 2: How many other players have gone to the NFL from 1598 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 2: bendimidgi State. 1599 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:49,720 Speaker 5: I don't know.

I mean, all right, 1634 01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,600 Speaker 5: but this is the cur the curling athletes of the 1635 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:18,599 Speaker 5: studs at that school. 1636 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 2: This is your last segment of the season with us, 1637 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:22,759 Speaker 2: So we're going to say go by to the network. 1638 01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,839 Speaker 2: Give me your final thoughts, either looking back or looking ahead, 1639 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,120 Speaker 2: whatever you want to say. 1640 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:28,800 Speaker 1: Before we say, before you say goodbye for the year. 1641 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,920 Speaker 4: I always wonder what would happen if the defensive coordinator 1642 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 4: change would have happened earlier, because, uh, you know, after 1643 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,519 Speaker 4: the Dallas game in which you had a lead with 1644 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,720 Speaker 4: twenty five seconds to go, and then you look at 1645 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 4: some of the ensuing games over the course of the season, 1646 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 4: that might have been the difference because they lost a 1647 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,639 Speaker 4: whole bunch of games that they had a chance to win. 1648 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 4: And even the Denver game that should have been the 1649 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 4: straw that broke the camel's back, you would think, and 1650 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,639 Speaker 4: I even think back to that second Philadelphia game, even 1651 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:06,720 Speaker 4: though Saquan went off like they couldn't get stops right, 1652 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 4: you know, Thibodeau should have had a force fumble and 1653 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,600 Speaker 4: stop Philadelphiam scoring on that Toush push. But just the 1654 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,040 Speaker 4: inability to ever figure out a way to utilize the 1655 01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,920 Speaker 4: best players. The decision came way too late. 1656 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: I still don't think we're talking about a playoff team though. 1657 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't think. 1658 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,560 Speaker 4: I'm thinking you're looking I'm thinking you're looking at a 1659 01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 4: team that's gonna potentially finish the year seven and ten. 1660 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 3: I think that's possible. And then maybe the staff is 1661 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 3: not turning over correct that's possible. 1662 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 4: I mean, so I always wonder about that, and then 1663 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 4: looking ahead, look to your timeline is gonna get filled up, John, 1664 01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 4: your timeline is gonna get filled up. The marin Tige 1665 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,120 Speaker 4: family are not consulting with us as to what's gonna happen. 1666 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,639 Speaker 4: Whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen. But the head 1667 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 4: coaching higher is going to be absolutely huge because the 1668 01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,240 Speaker 4: one thing that we do have coming out of this. 1669 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,120 Speaker 5: It looks like we have a quarterback and that's the 1670 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:03,200 Speaker 5: most important piece of that. 1671 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 2: And you have to continue because he's not a finished product. 1672 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 2: You have to continue to develop him. 1673 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 4: And you know, unlike Eli, who we knew Coughlin would 1674 01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,439 Speaker 4: still be there, and Gil Bride and all those Mike Pope, 1675 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 4: the tight end coach, and the Flowherty and we knew 1676 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:16,639 Speaker 4: all those. 1677 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 5: Guys would be there. 1678 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,559 Speaker 4: We don't know who's going to be here moving forward, 1679 01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:24,080 Speaker 4: but it certainly looks like he has the potential to 1680 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 4: be a quarterback that can get you to the winner 1681 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 4: circle and got to start winning some division games when 1682 01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 4: it matters. They did beat Philadelphia, and Jackson Dart was 1683 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 4: a big part of that. So hopefully that's the thing 1684 01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 4: to build around moving forward, because I think, you know, look, 1685 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 4: what's the record here since in the last three years. 1686 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's bad. Yeah, it's been bad. 1687 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,400 Speaker 4: And the fans they pay a lot of money and 1688 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,400 Speaker 4: they they support the team through thick and thin, and 1689 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,840 Speaker 4: it's just been too much thin and we want to 1690 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 4: see it better. 1691 01:11:58,200 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: All right, Bob, We'll talk to you next year, my friend, 1692 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: and enjoy your off season.

John Marra was 1832 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 22: at the beginning of his cancer treatment and had gone 1833 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 22: into the locker room afterwards and said this did more 1834 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,560 Speaker 22: for me than anything that they're doing for me and 1835 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 22: my treatment. He was incredibly emotional. I have not seen 1836 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,800 Speaker 22: or heard what he said to the players after this game. 1837 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,679 Speaker 22: I can only tell you that going around the locker room, 1838 01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,320 Speaker 22: a number of players mentioned that it was significant to them. 1839 01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 1: It was important to them, so he spoke to the 1840 01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,439 Speaker 1: team after that he apparently said something. I don't know 1841 01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:52,920 Speaker 1: what it is. 1842 01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:56,120 Speaker 22: He said, guys were clearly affected by it and emotional 1843 01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 22: about it, and they all felt that, you know, he's 1844 01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,840 Speaker 22: part of the history, the legacy, the foundation of this 1845 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 22: proud and great franchise and they understand that winning to 1846 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 22: the Mara family is the only thing that matters. These guys, 1847 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 22: these players when we talk about how they were playing 1848 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:17,360 Speaker 22: for themselves, John and how they were playing for their coaches, 1849 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 22: and they wanted to win because they were never about 1850 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 22: draft picks. 1851 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:22,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't just about those folks. 1852 01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 22: It was also about the franchise and the brand and 1853 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:32,040 Speaker 22: the Giants' front office, the ownership that that logo doesn't 1854 01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 22: play for draft picks, That logo plays to win. 1855 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 2: Well, I want to get Tiki's take on this, but 1856 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 2: obviously he's the only one that's warned that logo, and 1857 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 2: he was close to the owners he knows. 1858 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 3: Of course, No, it doesn't matter. Winning is the only 1859 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 3: thing that matters. And the draft picks are draft picks. 1860 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:47,120 Speaker 3: Like as much as I want to care about the 1861 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 3: what the fans are gonna scream about and falling back 1862 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,439 Speaker 3: to number of three to six or whatever, it's going 1863 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,960 Speaker 3: to ultimately end up being because the Browns ones that 1864 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 3: they can't go down below seven. You still got a 1865 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 3: draft and develop guys, and they're still rookies and they're 1866 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 3: still going to take some time to acclimate, and I 1867 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,080 Speaker 3: feel like I want a team, and I think the 1868 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:06,640 Speaker 3: Giants want a team that. 1869 01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:10,040 Speaker 1: Has the right players, not more players. 1870 01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,519 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's the guys that are going to 1871 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:16,200 Speaker 3: put on the uniform, respect what this history is of 1872 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 3: this organization and play to a standard. It starts with 1873 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 3: the head coach, whoever that ultimately may be, and then 1874 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 3: it starts with the leaders in the locker room. The 1875 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 3: Brian Burns is in the Jackson darts that we've already 1876 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,799 Speaker 3: alluded to. And so winning matters, and it just feels 1877 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,840 Speaker 3: better to win. You You don't grind all week long 1878 01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 3: to go out and embarrass yourself and lose. You want 1879 01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 3: to win, and winning is the only thing that matters. 1880 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:40,759 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the phones. 1881 01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,679 Speaker 2: Eight eight eight eight oh eight one zero one nine 1882 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 2: eight eight eight eight one zero one nine. Let's go 1883 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,240 Speaker 2: to Dom and new Rochelle. He will lead us off today. Dom, 1884 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:48,680 Speaker 2: what's going on? 1885 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 1: Don? 1886 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 16: What's up? 1887 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:51,599 Speaker 1: Fellas? 1888 01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:52,759 Speaker 16: Guys? 1889 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:57,000 Speaker 24: I know, beating the Cowboys always feels good, but the 1890 01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 24: way this season went were possibly out of the top 1891 01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,600 Speaker 24: five in the draft is a shame. I don't. I 1892 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 24: don't agree with tanking. 1893 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 16: I don't. It's just bad luck. 1894 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:06,919 Speaker 24: I don't I don't agree. 1895 01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 16: With it at all, So you have to do it. 1896 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:10,640 Speaker 24: You have to do it's best for the future of 1897 01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 24: the organization. If you had the first and second pick 1898 01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 24: in the draft, you would get a huge hole, huge 1899 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 24: hole for that because everybody wants the Mendoza kid or 1900 01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:22,360 Speaker 24: datte more. But I think they need to make these 1901 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 24: games at the end of the year more meaningful, like 1902 01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:28,040 Speaker 24: have a draft lottery, like like the NBA does. Listen, 1903 01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,240 Speaker 24: you know, I call you and Evan all the time. 1904 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right about that. 1905 01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:37,880 Speaker 24: I'm a dieharde Giants fan. I'm a diehard Giants fan. 1906 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 9: You know what. 1907 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 24: I don't agree with tanking, none of that stuff. But 1908 01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,560 Speaker 24: it's just the way the season went, the heartbreak, the 1909 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,880 Speaker 24: gut wrenching losses, and to just not be in that 1910 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,240 Speaker 24: top five in the draft is just so disappointing for 1911 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:52,679 Speaker 24: me within that aspect. 1912 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: Dom. 1913 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,040 Speaker 22: Can I ask you a question, and I'm being very 1914 01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,840 Speaker 22: very serious about this, because it just shows you that 1915 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,720 Speaker 22: there's nothing for certain. If I had told you, as 1916 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 22: we talked to many fans before the Giants and the 1917 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 22: then Redskins had played many years ago, and they called 1918 01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,760 Speaker 22: it the Chase Young Bowl and everybody said, ah, Giants lost. 1919 01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 22: They blew the Chase Young pick, and Washington picked Chase Young. 1920 01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,120 Speaker 22: He got hurt, didn't do much, and wound up leaving 1921 01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,880 Speaker 22: the team. The Giants got Andrew Thomas, yes, having a 1922 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:26,000 Speaker 22: really good ye but still franchise left tackle. Giants also 1923 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:28,200 Speaker 22: had a chance to get a higher pick last year 1924 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,519 Speaker 22: and wound up picking Abdul Carter. Now, who knows what 1925 01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,360 Speaker 22: Abdul Carter is going to be. They think he'll be 1926 01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 22: a franchise pass rusher. The point is nothing is ever guaranteed, 1927 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,519 Speaker 22: whether or not you pick first, third, sixth, or even 1928 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 22: if you get an extra third round, fourth round, the 1929 01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,439 Speaker 22: second round pick. Those picks are not guaranteed to turn 1930 01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 22: out well. No, I mean there are no guarantees in life, eyeball. 1931 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,080 Speaker 22: So it's not you pick, it's who you pick, right, 1932 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 22: I understand. But last year for an example, and then Dom, 1933 01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,599 Speaker 22: I'll let you finish. What was The Giants picked fourth 1934 01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,840 Speaker 22: last year instead of third, and they would have never 1935 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:00,479 Speaker 22: the chance. 1936 01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:01,240 Speaker 1: To draft that duel Carter. 1937 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,000 Speaker 22: I don't know who they would have picked, but maybe 1938 01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:05,840 Speaker 22: they would have picked Will Johnson, who made the NFL 1939 01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 22: All rookie team at quarterback. 1940 01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 2: Ye, I mean possibly, I mean likely, he would have 1941 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,280 Speaker 2: win it four. We don't know if he went in 1942 01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:12,800 Speaker 2: the second round. 1943 01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,160 Speaker 1: Point, but we don't know. You asked me for a hypothetical. 1944 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 1: I know I understand that, but it is it is 1945 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,240 Speaker 1: better to pick higher than Lowe. 1946 01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:21,559 Speaker 5: Of course it is. Don't continue, go. 1947 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,720 Speaker 24: Ahead, go ahead, Yes, guys, totally understands. But I'm not 1948 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 24: talking about a single player. I wanted the Giants to 1949 01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 24: get the first or second overall pick. 1950 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 16: Just because they're going to get a huge hole. They're 1951 01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:33,680 Speaker 16: going to get it. 1952 01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 24: They need a ton of they need a ton of 1953 01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:37,439 Speaker 24: ton of pieces on this team. 1954 01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,360 Speaker 16: I know, I know you can get a guy to 1955 01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:39,760 Speaker 16: get it. 1956 01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:44,040 Speaker 24: Look, the Giants drafted Odell Beckham in two twenty fourteen, 1957 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 24: and the Rams took Aaron Donald, who picks later. Aaron 1958 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,559 Speaker 24: would have Aaron Donald's career over Odell Beckham's any day, 1959 01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,120 Speaker 24: any day of the week. But sure, it's it's just 1960 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:57,479 Speaker 24: the point of getting a hole for those first two picks. 1961 01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 24: I want. 1962 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,080 Speaker 1: None of those halls that you would get are guaranteed, 1963 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,760 Speaker 1: and that's the point. But that's the point the whole. 1964 01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,519 Speaker 22: Look, But if it's guaranteed that you're going to get 1965 01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 22: it's gonna result in good picks. 1966 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:15,760 Speaker 1: Then absolutely, I. 1967 01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 5: Think both of these arguments are not mutually exclusive. 1968 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,320 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think that's true. They're both 1969 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 1: are valid and you're right. 1970 01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,519 Speaker 3: Look, this team needs a linebacker, needs a wide receiver, 1971 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:28,880 Speaker 3: needs cornerback depth, it needs all of those things. And yeah, 1972 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 3: this is where the job matters from a GM and 1973 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 3: scouting perspective. You you have to find those I don't 1974 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:36,720 Speaker 3: call them diamonds in the rough, but you got to 1975 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,240 Speaker 3: find those second and third round picks. They're gonna turn 1976 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:40,960 Speaker 3: out to be starts. That was the second round pick. 1977 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 3: A Moni too was the second round pick straight hand. 1978 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:44,680 Speaker 1: One second round. 1979 01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 5: There's just there's plenty of. 1980 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,200 Speaker 1: The third round. 1981 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 3: There are plenty of ways to build successful ring of 1982 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 3: honored type players. But it starts, to me with the coaching, 1983 01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 3: and starts with the expectation, and it starts with identifying 1984 01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 3: those guys, whether it's the first round or the seventh round, 1985 01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 3: who have a desire to be great. And I've said 1986 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,040 Speaker 3: this so many times in these post games. If you 1987 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:09,479 Speaker 3: don't want to be great, then what are you doing 1988 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,160 Speaker 3: it for? Because this isn't a game just to go 1989 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 3: beat yourself up, hurt you know, hurt your future, you know, 1990 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,640 Speaker 3: physical health, in order to just make some money, like 1991 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,040 Speaker 3: you want. You want to be remembered when you play 1992 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 3: this game. 1993 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, look I will I will close and we'll take 1994 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:25,000 Speaker 2: your calls. If you guys want to talk about it, 1995 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,760 Speaker 2: that's fine, but I think we'll leave it here. In 1996 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,160 Speaker 2: terms of overall thoughts on it, no one. Players don't tech, 1997 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:31,720 Speaker 2: coaches don't tech. If you go out there, you're gonna 1998 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 2: play again and try to win the game. And I 1999 01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 2: think it's important just just go see what's going on 2000 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 2: with with Max Crosby and the Raiders right now that 2001 01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:40,479 Speaker 2: I think it's important for players to try to go 2002 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:42,200 Speaker 2: out there and win games and play hard when you 2003 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 2: have the chance to. You would much rather be able 2004 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 2: to trade the picks for a haul if you can 2005 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 2: and get extra picks. You always want more picks than 2006 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:54,600 Speaker 2: than fewer. You always want higher picks than lower. But 2007 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,439 Speaker 2: to Paul's point, which is also correct, no matter where 2008 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 2: you pick, there's going to be a good player on 2009 01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 2: the board that you can pick, So go find the 2010 01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 2: right guys and make the good picks. Whether ta Tiki's point, 2011 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,880 Speaker 2: it's in the first round or more importantly, and the 2012 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 2: Giants have it, haven't had enough of these hits in 2013 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 2: later rounds, the second round, third round, or even day 2014 01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 2: three picks, fourth rounds to seven. So you have no 2015 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:18,599 Speaker 2: matter how many picks you have and where you pick, 2016 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,760 Speaker 2: you have to make the most of them when you 2017 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 2: make those picks, regardless, And I think that's where we stand. 2018 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,800 Speaker 2: And look, I totally get it. Fans want to be 2019 01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:28,840 Speaker 2: upset about it. I totally get it. And I think 2020 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,400 Speaker 2: the Dom's point, it stinks. You never ever, ever, ever 2021 01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 2: want to root for your team not to win. There's 2022 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 2: nothing worse for a fan than being put in a 2023 01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 2: position where you might even consider it being better for 2024 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,920 Speaker 2: your team to lose than to win. It stinks, and 2025 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,880 Speaker 2: I don't think there's an answer to that situation out there. 2026 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,240 Speaker 2: The NBA has been trying to figure out and they can't. 2027 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: They put it all these things. 2028 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,559 Speaker 2: They're changing lottery odds too, they're doing that, and there's 2029 01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:56,920 Speaker 2: just no solution to the problem. 2030 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:57,800 Speaker 1: So you go out there. 2031 01:25:58,160 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 2: It's the Giants philosophy to go out there, try to 2032 01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 2: when every game you play. I think it's the right 2033 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,720 Speaker 2: way to go about things, and the dice are going 2034 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,880 Speaker 2: to roll wherever they roll, and you're gonna pick wherever 2035 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:08,639 Speaker 2: you pick, and you make the most of those picks. 2036 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,000 Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Harvey and dixals. Harvey, what's 2037 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:12,200 Speaker 2: going on? And then Nasi will be up next. 2038 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 25: What's for the honor and privilege of going on the 2039 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:23,200 Speaker 25: show and expressing my ideas very basically very special to me. 2040 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 25: The bottom line is that I won't spend much time 2041 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,639 Speaker 25: with Jackson Dodd. I wanted him as a number three picks. 2042 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 25: He how much I wanted him before the draft. Okay, 2043 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:38,439 Speaker 25: when it comes to the general manager and the former 2044 01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,679 Speaker 25: coach Table, I have to tell you that I didn't 2045 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,559 Speaker 25: want Table fired, and he was fired, you know, smart 2046 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,519 Speaker 25: football coach. I can't do anything about it. When it 2047 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,960 Speaker 25: comes to Shane uh, everybody says, well, he had a 2048 01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,800 Speaker 25: great drift this time. I hope I have the right draft. 2049 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,080 Speaker 25: But the draft before that was great. I hope I 2050 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:01,240 Speaker 25: get with neighbors and new him and so ups at 2051 01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:04,639 Speaker 25: the rest draft and Tracy and CEO Johnson I called 2052 01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 25: him can't catch the football, THEO Johnson. That was a 2053 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 25: great draft too. Okay, heat the drafts to come back 2054 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:14,559 Speaker 25: uh number three. In terms of coordinators. I like your opinion. 2055 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,320 Speaker 25: I answered my Kingsbury last week. I'm not sure, but 2056 01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,679 Speaker 25: your comment as much. I like his work with Mahomes 2057 01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:23,559 Speaker 25: and Dangels, and you know I'm very partial to Wing 2058 01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,519 Speaker 25: Martin Dale. They have a scandal of Michigan. You may 2059 01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,439 Speaker 25: come back to the NFL, I hope. 2060 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,360 Speaker 1: And then to Mendal's not coming back here. Harvey, Harvey, Harvey, 2061 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:33,400 Speaker 1: just real quick. Wingbourn Dales not don't. 2062 01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:36,720 Speaker 25: That's fine, okay. The other thing is that I talked 2063 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:40,600 Speaker 25: a lot about safety. I want those guardian caps mandated 2064 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,120 Speaker 25: three years. It'll take the NFL. They're going to standard 2065 01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,200 Speaker 25: at the Turff. And the one thing I'd like to 2066 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:49,439 Speaker 25: ask a big favor John and you and Paul I 2067 01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:53,560 Speaker 25: mentioned it happened. I was watching a football game with 2068 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,960 Speaker 25: two buddies and they act during the game, and I 2069 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,960 Speaker 25: mentioned to you that since Compton called it the greens 2070 01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,920 Speaker 25: understead of the zone, I've been calling it the last 2071 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:06,960 Speaker 25: live the bull zone, and right there in the game 2072 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,320 Speaker 25: they stood the blue zone. It would be very very 2073 01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,360 Speaker 25: if you're one days, you're actually watching a game and 2074 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:14,960 Speaker 25: you agree that the last five yards are different than 2075 01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 25: the rest. Maybe you'll let me know, because this is 2076 01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,439 Speaker 25: my twenty seventh year and the fan and I'll be 2077 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,680 Speaker 25: talking again. I'd love to see what you're thinking of 2078 01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:23,680 Speaker 25: that you never thought think of that, Thank you so much. 2079 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,640 Speaker 2: Sure, Harvey, Look, they do keep separate stats for red 2080 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,320 Speaker 2: zone percentage versus gold to goal percentage. They do get 2081 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 2: those separate stats, and they are different the way you 2082 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,400 Speaker 2: approach it, and they're all the deep red zone ten 2083 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:36,960 Speaker 2: yard line up and by the way they when just 2084 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:39,080 Speaker 2: so Harvey understands and Tea you can obviously back this 2085 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,760 Speaker 2: up better than me. But when they practice, they have 2086 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 2: separate periods and plays for gold to go and then 2087 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 2: the deep red zone, which is closer to the twenty 2088 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 2: yards right. 2089 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:51,559 Speaker 3: It gets harder down there because there's just less space 2090 01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 3: to cover, and it's easy to get confused when you're 2091 01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:57,720 Speaker 3: a quarterback or signal call or whatever it may be, 2092 01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,800 Speaker 3: by the defense that you're looking at, because it could, 2093 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it could look like cover zero in the 2094 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,080 Speaker 3: in the tight red area and it's really covered four 2095 01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,720 Speaker 3: and you just it's hard to dissect it when you're 2096 01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 3: down there tight, and so you have to be so 2097 01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,640 Speaker 3: precise when you're in that close from a. 2098 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,520 Speaker 5: Play caller, but also an execution standpoint. 2099 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 3: And it's something as much as we loved the early 2100 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 3: red zone success by the New York Giants, it started 2101 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:23,360 Speaker 3: the wayne as the season went on, like they just 2102 01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:27,439 Speaker 3: they got worse at designing plays and executing plays in 2103 01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:29,000 Speaker 3: that tight red area. There was a bunch there was 2104 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 3: a bunch of opportunities down the Cowboy defense down there too. 2105 01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 3: You end up kicking three field goals. Now look that 2106 01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,920 Speaker 3: ultimately mattered because you scored thirty four points or whatever 2107 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:39,240 Speaker 3: it was. And so it just feels like the Giants, 2108 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:42,040 Speaker 3: while good in certain spots, still have work to do 2109 01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 3: in a lot of different areas. 2110 01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:45,680 Speaker 2: And I should bring this up to Miles Garrett did 2111 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,479 Speaker 2: get a sack today, broke Michael stra and sack record 2112 01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 2: TJ Watt too. 2113 01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:50,599 Speaker 1: They were tied correct. 2114 01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:53,639 Speaker 2: And if you look at the play, the way Garrett 2115 01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,920 Speaker 2: gets off the ball on that fast and like a rocket, 2116 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 2: it is just an like he's he's off the ball 2117 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,000 Speaker 2: before offensive lineman moved except for the center and. 2118 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,160 Speaker 3: Should or Sanders just kind of slid into that sack. 2119 01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:08,679 Speaker 3: But he was gonna get sacked regardless Joe Barrow. I mean, yeah, 2120 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:16,560 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow slid into that, but he was 2121 01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 3: going to get sacked either way, and so correct. Miles Garrett, 2122 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 3: you know, gets credited for the twenty third sack, and 2123 01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 3: kudos to him because he had a stretch for about 2124 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,360 Speaker 3: four games where he had more sacks than anybody else 2125 01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:27,880 Speaker 3: in the league. 2126 01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,800 Speaker 2: I think probably in my adulthood as a kid, I 2127 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,280 Speaker 2: remember LT obviously, but in my adulthood him and Aaron 2128 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:36,880 Speaker 2: Donald are probably the two best defensive players I've ever seen. 2129 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, especially because of the position Aaron Donald played an 2130 01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 3: interior d tackle. 2131 01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:41,400 Speaker 1: Who was it was? 2132 01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 3: It was an an advantage for the Rams. I mean 2133 01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,240 Speaker 3: he could if he had a guard or single in 2134 01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:50,880 Speaker 3: him on a center. He was winning almost every single time. 2135 01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:52,479 Speaker 3: J J watts up there too. He had a couple 2136 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:54,920 Speaker 3: of years in there where he wasn't unbelievable, right, none of. 2137 01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:57,240 Speaker 22: Them Moralty Well, like I said, I went, I I 2138 01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:02,280 Speaker 22: even said I was, But they're different. 2139 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,840 Speaker 3: But they were there were different, There were different players. 2140 01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:06,599 Speaker 3: All these guys that we were just alluding to had 2141 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:08,920 Speaker 3: their hands in the ground. LT was a stand up backer, yep, 2142 01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:10,840 Speaker 3: and you know he was on the edge and often 2143 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 3: the fifth rusher on some of those giant defenses. And 2144 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,600 Speaker 3: he was just a superior athlete than a lot of 2145 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,200 Speaker 3: the tackles that were playing at the time. 2146 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to nas in Pennsylvania. 2147 01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 5: He's up. 2148 01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:23,360 Speaker 16: So what's up, guys. 2149 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 31: Just first, I want to say I really appreciate you 2150 01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,880 Speaker 31: guys giving me the time during the course of the season, 2151 01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:29,679 Speaker 31: and a happy New Year to you and your family. 2152 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:31,120 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. 2153 01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,519 Speaker 16: Before I make my real point, I just want. 2154 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:40,000 Speaker 31: To piggyback on that Giants hold the draft positioning and 2155 01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 31: stuff like that. Back when Ernie Corsi built those successful 2156 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 31: Giants teams, the Giants were not picking you know, those 2157 01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:52,280 Speaker 31: really top five every year picked. It shows you that 2158 01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 31: it's not where you're drafting, it's who you have, you know, 2159 01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,720 Speaker 31: in your organization that are making the picks. Because that's 2160 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 31: why the great teams continue to be the great teams 2161 01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,760 Speaker 31: and the bad teams continue to be you know, in 2162 01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:05,360 Speaker 31: the basement. 2163 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,760 Speaker 2: So and no real quick, now, real quick, no real quick, 2164 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:11,519 Speaker 2: And I'll let you continue. It's not just who's they're 2165 01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:16,080 Speaker 2: picking the players, it's who's they're developing the players once 2166 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:17,200 Speaker 2: you are on them. 2167 01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:19,320 Speaker 1: On your roster too. There there are two parts of 2168 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:20,880 Speaker 1: that go ahead right. 2169 01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 16: Which leads me to Smoky, which leads me to my 2170 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:24,599 Speaker 16: next point. 2171 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:28,000 Speaker 31: If the Giants are going to keep Joe Shane, as 2172 01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:30,559 Speaker 31: much as you guys already know, I'm not a fan 2173 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 31: of that, But if they're going to keep Joe Shane, 2174 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:36,840 Speaker 31: I believe this is his upcoming last year of the contract. 2175 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:40,880 Speaker 31: If you're going to get the best coaching candidate available, 2176 01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:44,280 Speaker 31: they're going to have to double down and extend Joe 2177 01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:47,160 Speaker 31: Shane so that that head that you get the best 2178 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,519 Speaker 31: head coach candidate. 2179 01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:51,160 Speaker 16: And he's not coming in. 2180 01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,800 Speaker 31: With a lame duck GM entering his contract season. So 2181 01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,280 Speaker 31: if you're really listen, if you is, we're going to 2182 01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,639 Speaker 31: disagree on it. If the Giants really believe in Joe Shane, 2183 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 31: believe in the young core as much as US fans 2184 01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,360 Speaker 31: maybe don't believe in it, they're gonna have to double 2185 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:12,280 Speaker 31: down in order to get the best head coaching candidate available, 2186 01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:13,719 Speaker 31: because you're not gonna get. 2187 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,679 Speaker 16: That if they think that this is the year Joe 2188 01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,120 Speaker 16: Shane has to win. 2189 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:21,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I also think nas and it's it's a 2190 01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:23,760 Speaker 3: very good point. It's gonna depend on who the head 2191 01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:25,720 Speaker 3: coach is that rises. 2192 01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:26,240 Speaker 5: To the to the top. 2193 01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:28,720 Speaker 3: If it appreciation nas and happy New Year to you 2194 01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:31,160 Speaker 3: as well. It's if it's a veteran coach who has 2195 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:37,160 Speaker 3: not not experience as a as a player picker, but 2196 01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:39,920 Speaker 3: someone who has an idea of what he wants. 2197 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,479 Speaker 1: Then him, he and Joe Shane have to be on 2198 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:43,200 Speaker 1: the same page. 2199 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:46,439 Speaker 3: And I think the challenge and this isn't an NFL problem, 2200 01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 3: this isn't just a Giants problem. The challenge is is 2201 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:53,639 Speaker 3: there enough time to develop that kind of understanding between 2202 01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:57,839 Speaker 3: an existing general manager and the incoming head coach. 2203 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,599 Speaker 1: And building a roster for that coach right style. 2204 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,919 Speaker 5: And it feels like there are examples of that being successful. 2205 01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles in Chicago are a perfect example, 2206 01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 3: and so like, I don't know what the relationship was 2207 01:34:10,439 --> 01:34:13,439 Speaker 3: prior with Poles and Ben Johnson, but it seems to 2208 01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,720 Speaker 3: be working right. It seems to be uh, you know, symbiotic, 2209 01:34:16,840 --> 01:34:19,280 Speaker 3: and Ryan Poles has a good future there. And obviously 2210 01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:21,639 Speaker 3: Ben Johnson in his rookie season as a head coach 2211 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,519 Speaker 3: has has turned this the Chicago Bears team around, And 2212 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:27,360 Speaker 3: so there are examples of it working. I mean alluding 2213 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:30,519 Speaker 3: to what Nas was referencing, where you have a general manager, 2214 01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 3: you have him here for the future, and you bring 2215 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,920 Speaker 3: in a coach young or otherwise that knows how to 2216 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 3: that knows how to win, and so that relationship in developing, 2217 01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:42,080 Speaker 3: that's it gets really compressed. And when you have a 2218 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,560 Speaker 3: month or so to figure out how to how to 2219 01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:46,360 Speaker 3: make that relationship work. 2220 01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 22: You know, we have talked so much about some of 2221 01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:51,960 Speaker 22: these teams in recent years that have turned it around quickly, right, 2222 01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,840 Speaker 22: I think unfortunately, because the Giants have been struggling for 2223 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,559 Speaker 22: as long as they have, fans are expecting whoever they 2224 01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,200 Speaker 22: bring in as the head coach, they're expecting that he 2225 01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:04,479 Speaker 22: and Joe Shane are going to have to make a 2226 01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,360 Speaker 22: significant turnaround in twenty twenty six. They're not going to 2227 01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:08,200 Speaker 22: have much patience. 2228 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,599 Speaker 1: They're not. To your point, I don't think anyone's gonna 2229 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: have any patience, and. 2230 01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,160 Speaker 22: To your including the players aship and to your point 2231 01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,200 Speaker 22: in the pregame show, John, when you were talking about coordinators, 2232 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:22,680 Speaker 22: it's one of the reasons why I believe it's got 2233 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:26,240 Speaker 22: to be a CEO, because if you hire another coordinator 2234 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:28,280 Speaker 22: to be a head coach, he's not going to have 2235 01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,639 Speaker 22: a lot of gradest time to learn on the job 2236 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:31,840 Speaker 22: to be a head coach. 2237 01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,000 Speaker 1: He's got to know what it takes to be a 2238 01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:36,080 Speaker 1: CEO head. 2239 01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:38,920 Speaker 22: Coach to win in this league so that he can 2240 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,120 Speaker 22: immediately hit the ground running with Joe Shane and give 2241 01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:43,719 Speaker 22: the Giants a chance to be competitive. 2242 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, because if they're not, the flames are gonna get 2243 01:35:46,360 --> 01:35:47,920 Speaker 1: turned up real real fast. 2244 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:50,240 Speaker 2: And I will say this too, and I think NAS 2245 01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 2: didn't make a good point when you look at you know, 2246 01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:54,280 Speaker 2: matching coach and you know, figuring out a guy that 2247 01:35:54,479 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 2: then thinks he can be here for a long time. 2248 01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:58,640 Speaker 2: But look the bottom line here, guys, and you know this, 2249 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 2: They're only thirty two NFL head coaching. The Giants are 2250 01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:06,439 Speaker 2: a legacy franchise that treat their people the right way. 2251 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 2: The fact that all these assistant coaches are again according 2252 01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,559 Speaker 2: to what their coaches themselves have said earlier in the week, 2253 01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,599 Speaker 2: are still in their contract shows you that the Giants 2254 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:16,160 Speaker 2: will you know, they do a good job of taking 2255 01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 2: care of people that way, right. So I would be 2256 01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:23,240 Speaker 2: hard pressed to think, especially with all the talent the 2257 01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:26,240 Speaker 2: Giants have on the defensive front. With Jackson Dart here 2258 01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,559 Speaker 2: as a young quarterback the league neighbors coming back. 2259 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,280 Speaker 1: We talked about the talent that's here. 2260 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:33,200 Speaker 2: As bad as the record has been, I find it 2261 01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:36,720 Speaker 2: hard to believe, especially given what the rosters look like 2262 01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 2: of the other teams that could potentially have head coaching vacancies, 2263 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 2: that teams would be turning Giants down the Giants offer 2264 01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,599 Speaker 2: to be their head coach, right me, I just don't 2265 01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 2: think that's plausible to me. 2266 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:49,080 Speaker 3: And it's I think the biggest thing, the reason why 2267 01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 3: they won't turn it down is because there's talent on 2268 01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:51,720 Speaker 3: this team. 2269 01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,080 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Right, You're not going to a place. 2270 01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:56,320 Speaker 3: Where God, I got to rebuild the quarterback, I got 2271 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,040 Speaker 3: to rebuild the offensive line. I gotta find playmakers on 2272 01:36:59,160 --> 01:37:01,519 Speaker 3: defense that is here with the New York Giants. 2273 01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:03,120 Speaker 2: Like if you look at the if the Browns move 2274 01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,280 Speaker 2: on from Stefanski, you look at that roster, that is 2275 01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:11,160 Speaker 2: a multi year project on both sides of the ball. 2276 01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm not saying this is gonna be next year. You're 2277 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,720 Speaker 2: Super Bowl competitor, but you could be a good you 2278 01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 2: could be a pretty good football team next year if 2279 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:19,920 Speaker 2: you figure things out right. 2280 01:37:19,960 --> 01:37:21,639 Speaker 3: And look, they had a lot of games, and Bob 2281 01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:24,639 Speaker 3: alluded to this before he left us that the Giants 2282 01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:26,720 Speaker 3: probably should have won. And again, they're not going to 2283 01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:29,240 Speaker 3: be a ten win team, but they win seven games 2284 01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,880 Speaker 3: and it feels different, right, instead of four games, two 2285 01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 3: of which are right then the season when you're already eliminated. 2286 01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,200 Speaker 3: And doesn't matter the stat that keep popping up on 2287 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,439 Speaker 3: social media where you know, for their eight wins of 2288 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:40,920 Speaker 3: the last couple of years have been in games. 2289 01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 5: It don't matter. 2290 01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:42,439 Speaker 1: We're not We're not. 2291 01:37:42,520 --> 01:37:45,200 Speaker 22: Alone insane this either, because if you look at the 2292 01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 22: words of people outside the building, as angry as the 2293 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:51,600 Speaker 22: fans are, unjustifiably so with the record, most of the 2294 01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:57,439 Speaker 22: national media people, the outward breers of the world, the world, Yes, 2295 01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,080 Speaker 22: they say, this may be the most attract the openings 2296 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:01,960 Speaker 22: in this offseason. 2297 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: So we're not just singing this tune by ourselves. 2298 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:06,720 Speaker 2: Right, No, you have a cool do you have a 2299 01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:08,640 Speaker 2: young quarterback in place that can beat the guy? And 2300 01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:10,519 Speaker 2: then look at the pieces on defense that you have 2301 01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:12,720 Speaker 2: up front. So let's take a time out, we'll come back, 2302 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,080 Speaker 2: take a few more calls. We'll hear from a couple 2303 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,000 Speaker 2: more people in the locker room as well. That and 2304 01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:19,000 Speaker 2: more as we continue right here on Giants extra Point. 2305 01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:21,599 Speaker 2: Giants close out this season with they win, they defeat 2306 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:24,320 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys thirty four to seventeen, and the season 2307 01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 2: where four wins will be right back. 2308 01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:28,919 Speaker 13: This is Jackson Darr and you're listening to Giants Football 2309 01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,840 Speaker 13: on the fan w FA N and w FA N FM, 2310 01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:33,639 Speaker 13: New York. 2311 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:37,000 Speaker 2: We're back here on Giants extra point. Giants lose a 2312 01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,240 Speaker 2: beat the Cowboys part of me, thirty four to seventeen. 2313 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:41,479 Speaker 2: Get that right, John, Thank you? I got a right 2314 01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:42,680 Speaker 2: all post game. I don't know why I got it wrong. 2315 01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:42,800 Speaker 7: There. 2316 01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:45,719 Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Jermaina Luminor in just a second. 2317 01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:48,200 Speaker 2: He's one of the giants big free agents this offseason. 2318 01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:50,240 Speaker 2: We'll hear from him in the locker room. Paulatino did 2319 01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,519 Speaker 2: a great job as always of tracking him down and 2320 01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,960 Speaker 2: everyone down downstairs. Let's go to Richard and Manhattan. He's 2321 01:38:57,080 --> 01:38:59,720 Speaker 2: up next on Giants extra Point. Richard, what's going on? 2322 01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:01,040 Speaker 30: Ticky John? 2323 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:01,400 Speaker 1: Paul? 2324 01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,400 Speaker 30: Three quick points. I wish Mike Kofka went instead of 2325 01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,719 Speaker 30: two and five four and three. I think we would 2326 01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:09,439 Speaker 30: have kept him if he. 2327 01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:10,240 Speaker 16: Went four and three. 2328 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:16,160 Speaker 30: You never know, that's right, Jackson Dott looked so confident 2329 01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,280 Speaker 30: out there. I haven't seen him look this good. Better 2330 01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,000 Speaker 30: than the Philly game, and about the San Diego game, 2331 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:26,160 Speaker 30: the Charger game. That's when I knew this kid could 2332 01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:29,240 Speaker 30: looked be good. But this kid was so great today 2333 01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,320 Speaker 30: that shuffle pass. I haven't seen a giant quarterback do 2334 01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,280 Speaker 30: that since fran Tulkington to Homo, John. 2335 01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,719 Speaker 2: Richard, I would just have one caution for you, Richard, 2336 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:41,679 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys are literally one of the worst pass defense, 2337 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:44,400 Speaker 2: so just keep that in mind. 2338 01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:52,040 Speaker 30: I watched a game my team do and I I 2339 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:56,679 Speaker 30: saw Jackson Dodd, the president for Jackson Dodd sixty years 2340 01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 30: ago almost to today, six zero. There was a guy 2341 01:40:00,160 --> 01:40:02,040 Speaker 30: across the river, Joe name it. 2342 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:03,320 Speaker 22: His first year. 2343 01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,320 Speaker 30: Came in the third game, just like Jackson Dot and 2344 01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:08,160 Speaker 30: we knew that weren't going to be good. The judges 2345 01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:10,360 Speaker 30: were terrible at you, but you can see that he 2346 01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,240 Speaker 30: was building it. I was ten and a half years old, 2347 01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:14,479 Speaker 30: but I remember it very well. He was building who 2348 01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:18,160 Speaker 30: covered that confidence every game and that was it and 2349 01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:20,720 Speaker 30: he took off Friday after that. I guarantee you that 2350 01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,759 Speaker 30: God will take off after this game, and you're gonna 2351 01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,679 Speaker 30: see all of this is gonna be worth it because 2352 01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,040 Speaker 30: we have to quarterback. Always a pleasure, fellas. 2353 01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:30,439 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Richard, appreciate you being with John. 2354 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:33,720 Speaker 1: If I may say two things off of Rich's call. 2355 01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,719 Speaker 22: Number one the shovel pass to Bellinger and I joked 2356 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,439 Speaker 22: with Bellinger in the locker room after. 2357 01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:41,120 Speaker 1: The game, did you play his comment? I did not 2358 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:43,040 Speaker 1: play that, okay, I joked with him. 2359 01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:45,439 Speaker 22: I said that reminded me of Mahomes and Kelsey, okay, 2360 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:47,880 Speaker 22: because that's the kind of off schedule. 2361 01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:48,720 Speaker 1: Play that those guys us. 2362 01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:50,439 Speaker 2: Now that was that was a screen though, that was 2363 01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:51,800 Speaker 2: at the ninth stream. It was just a matter of 2364 01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:53,360 Speaker 2: how he got how he did it, how he did it. 2365 01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:54,439 Speaker 1: It was pretty remarkable. 2366 01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:58,679 Speaker 22: But but in all honesty, rich what I was really 2367 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,240 Speaker 22: most impressed about with Darth today of he played well, 2368 01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:03,519 Speaker 22: There's no question he played well. 2369 01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:05,599 Speaker 1: He kept himself out of trouble again. 2370 01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:11,000 Speaker 22: Yeah, he's done much better when he took hit and 2371 01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 22: that wasn't even that. And I didn't think he put 2372 01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 22: himself necessarily in a dangerous position. A couple of times 2373 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 22: he ran out of bounds before it taking to It's 2374 01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:22,720 Speaker 22: great to see so we've seen Now the last three 2375 01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 22: weeks he has started to do those things and I'm glad. 2376 01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:29,600 Speaker 3: And he still had a bunch of yards rushing, so 2377 01:41:29,720 --> 01:41:31,760 Speaker 3: he still was viable as as a runner for this 2378 01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:35,200 Speaker 3: team all finishing the game, you know, with how many 2379 01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:36,040 Speaker 3: yards rushing did he have? 2380 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:37,639 Speaker 5: Thirty two yards rushing? 2381 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:37,880 Speaker 26: You know? 2382 01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,560 Speaker 3: So he so he did enough with his legs, but 2383 01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,400 Speaker 3: kept himself safe and that was been It's been a 2384 01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,200 Speaker 3: talking point all season long with him. 2385 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:46,599 Speaker 1: That's not my worry with him. 2386 01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:47,759 Speaker 5: It's not my worry at allways. 2387 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: He's going to figure that out.

I've 2454 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:15,000 Speaker 34: been cut, put on the practice squad, benched for reasons 2455 01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:19,639 Speaker 34: that went under my control, and then rotated with certain guys. 2456 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:21,240 Speaker 34: And the plus years have been the first two years 2457 01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:23,040 Speaker 34: of my career where I've truly just been able to 2458 01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 34: be the guy and be out there. And now I 2459 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:27,200 Speaker 34: have to look over my short constantly and just play freely, 2460 01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,920 Speaker 34: and I think that's really paid. Divid is a season 2461 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 34: for me and just being able to just play free. 2462 01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 34: And so when it comes to me being hurt, hurt, 2463 01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:38,599 Speaker 34: but I just put too much work and effort into 2464 01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 34: being out there that if I can be out there, 2465 01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:41,040 Speaker 34: I'll be out there. 2466 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:46,759 Speaker 2: That's Jermaine Illuminore and guys talk about a great player 2467 01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,600 Speaker 2: development story, and it didn't all happen here. A lot 2468 01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:51,760 Speaker 2: of that happened with Claren Briscilla and the Raiders. In 2469 01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:54,080 Speaker 2: his last year there, he played really well, and before 2470 01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:55,599 Speaker 2: that he was the Patriots and the Ravens. 2471 01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,760 Speaker 1: But that's a guy that you draft. And by his 2472 01:44:59,800 --> 01:45:01,560 Speaker 1: own words, he said this to me, Paul, if you 2473 01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:03,679 Speaker 1: remember we did the interview with him when he first 2474 01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:05,280 Speaker 1: got to the Giants. Yeah, the first few years in 2475 01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:09,240 Speaker 1: the league, I sucked because I stunk. I was terrible. 2476 01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,080 Speaker 1: That's what he said to us on the air. I 2477 01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 1: was on Giants dot Com. 2478 01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,280 Speaker 2: And to see the progress that he has steadily made 2479 01:45:15,320 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 2: over the course of his screw to the point now 2480 01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:20,960 Speaker 2: where he's a top half of the league starting right 2481 01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:24,400 Speaker 2: tackle or somewhere in that area, and played really well. 2482 01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:26,840 Speaker 2: He's a good guy. He works his butt off, he's 2483 01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,760 Speaker 2: a smart player, he cares. It's just really good to 2484 01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:32,280 Speaker 2: see that type of player development story. And now he's 2485 01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:35,960 Speaker 2: gonna be able to cash in this offseason. He said 2486 01:45:36,000 --> 01:45:38,120 Speaker 2: it hopefully it's here. I think all of us hope 2487 01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:39,760 Speaker 2: it's here too, because he's been a good player. He's 2488 01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:40,880 Speaker 2: been a good guy. He's a good leader in the 2489 01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:44,160 Speaker 2: locker room too. But we'll see Antiki as a player. 2490 01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:46,600 Speaker 2: It's just good to see guys like that succeed. No, 2491 01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:48,680 Speaker 2: it is, because look, it's it's hard to make it 2492 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:49,280 Speaker 2: in this league. 2493 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:53,920 Speaker 3: You're constantly under threat of getting replaced, whether that's in 2494 01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:57,160 Speaker 3: the draft or free agency, and games like this, games 2495 01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:59,880 Speaker 3: like last week, they matter for that exact reason, can 2496 01:45:59,920 --> 01:46:02,800 Speaker 3: you prove that you're worth being a part of the 2497 01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,360 Speaker 3: guys that stay here. There's going to be turnover, obviously, 2498 01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,720 Speaker 3: some veterans are going to be cut cap casualties. Other 2499 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:10,439 Speaker 3: guys are just not going to be re signed in 2500 01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,840 Speaker 3: free agency, and so proving your worth year in and 2501 01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:16,360 Speaker 3: year out is something that is part and particle of 2502 01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:19,360 Speaker 3: being in the National Football League. And I think Jermaina 2503 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,720 Speaker 3: Lumnor has acquitted himself quite well as as the right 2504 01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:25,360 Speaker 3: tackle for this team. And he's had some versatility. As 2505 01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:28,400 Speaker 3: we know last year he had to bounce around a lot. 2506 01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 3: He's got the ability to do that, but he also 2507 01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:34,920 Speaker 3: wants to be the guy. And every player at some 2508 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:36,920 Speaker 3: point in their career wants to be the guy that 2509 01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,640 Speaker 3: a team can count on, and I know that's what 2510 01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:42,559 Speaker 3: he's hoping for. The question will be from a cap 2511 01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:45,800 Speaker 3: standpoint and from a contract standpoint. Does it work for 2512 01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:48,320 Speaker 3: the New York Giants. The same conversation that we have 2513 01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:52,840 Speaker 3: in some capacity, really same capacity about Wandell Robinson because 2514 01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:55,240 Speaker 3: he's he's made himself some money proving that he's not 2515 01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 3: just this small slot receiver caught a lot of passes 2516 01:46:58,200 --> 01:46:58,639 Speaker 3: down the scene. 2517 01:46:58,680 --> 01:46:59,960 Speaker 1: Remember that early in the year. 2518 01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,479 Speaker 3: He's been an outside receiver, been a slot been the 2519 01:47:02,520 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 3: motion guy. He's able to contribute. It's just are the 2520 01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:07,680 Speaker 3: Giants going to be able to afford him? 2521 01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 1: Tiki. 2522 01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:10,880 Speaker 22: Two years ago, when the Giants hired Carmen Brisillo to 2523 01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:13,240 Speaker 22: be their offensive line coach, I talked to somebody in 2524 01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:16,960 Speaker 22: Las Vegas who gave me such glowing reviews about him, 2525 01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 22: And of course he was a Dante Scarnekia. Yeah, a 2526 01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:22,519 Speaker 22: disciple from the Patriots who is the guru of the 2527 01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:24,879 Speaker 22: latest version of offensive line coaches. 2528 01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 1: And then what he got here I knew right away. 2529 01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:29,920 Speaker 1: This guy knows his set because he's a pro. He 2530 01:47:30,479 --> 01:47:30,760 Speaker 1: is a pro. 2531 01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:34,320 Speaker 22: And the fact that Van Roten and Illuminor followed him 2532 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:38,080 Speaker 22: from Las Vegas to come here because of him told 2533 01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,800 Speaker 22: me an awful lot. So what I believe is that 2534 01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,400 Speaker 22: when you look at this offensive line and it's progression 2535 01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:45,439 Speaker 22: over the last two years. 2536 01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,639 Speaker 1: We knew what Runyon was. He's who he is. Yes, 2537 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:51,680 Speaker 1: we know Andrew Thomas is an all pro. He is 2538 01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:52,280 Speaker 1: who he is. 2539 01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,000 Speaker 22: But what we found out in the last two years 2540 01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 22: was that Illuminor was able to get better despite being 2541 01:47:58,520 --> 01:47:59,439 Speaker 22: a veteran in the league. 2542 01:47:59,479 --> 01:47:59,960 Speaker 7: For a few years. 2543 01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:02,240 Speaker 22: We knew Greg Van Roten, who's been in the league 2544 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:04,599 Speaker 22: for more than a decade, proved to be a better 2545 01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 22: player than just a guy. And we saw John Michael 2546 01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,360 Speaker 22: Schmidz get better over his two years with Briscilla. Someone 2547 01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:11,280 Speaker 22: was like, coaching matters. 2548 01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:15,559 Speaker 1: Don't you think absolutely don't you think it absolutely doesn't matter. 2549 01:48:15,720 --> 01:48:18,720 Speaker 22: I have to believe that whoever the coach is, Mike 2550 01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:21,639 Speaker 22: Kafger or anybody else, they're gonna look at that evidence 2551 01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:23,559 Speaker 22: and say, yeah, this guy's good. 2552 01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:25,439 Speaker 3: When you have a good offensive line coach. I was 2553 01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:27,880 Speaker 3: lucky when I during my years because I had mouse 2554 01:48:28,040 --> 01:48:30,439 Speaker 3: Jim McNally, who was great even though he was five 2555 01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:33,280 Speaker 3: 't nothing coaching a bunch of you know, six four 2556 01:48:33,320 --> 01:48:36,639 Speaker 3: to three hundred and thirty pounders, and then Pat Flaherty. 2557 01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 3: So the continuity and they were here for a whiles. 2558 01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,360 Speaker 3: It creates stability at one of the most important positions 2559 01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:46,320 Speaker 3: for your quarterback and your run game, by the way, 2560 01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,760 Speaker 3: and that's something the Giants have done extraordinarily well this year. 2561 01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:51,479 Speaker 3: They're gonna finish this season as a top five or 2562 01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:54,400 Speaker 3: six rush offense in the NFL. Just by all the 2563 01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:57,080 Speaker 3: failures this team ran. The ball effectively, you took the 2564 01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:58,400 Speaker 3: words out of my mouth. Thiss Tyrone. 2565 01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:00,360 Speaker 2: Tracy was on with me two weeks ago on pregame 2566 01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:03,120 Speaker 2: show on the Giants Total podcast, and he said, look, 2567 01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:04,559 Speaker 2: one of the reasons the run game is good, as 2568 01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:07,160 Speaker 2: Colin Priscilla, He's a huge part of how we designed 2569 01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,200 Speaker 2: so is Tim Kelly, by the way, how we designed 2570 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 2: this thing and run the football. So that's become you know, 2571 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:14,439 Speaker 2: one of the reasons Jackson Dart's been so successful as 2572 01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:14,800 Speaker 2: a rookie. 2573 01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:19,120 Speaker 3: Right, assistant coaches get overlooked sometimes, but you know, like 2574 01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,439 Speaker 3: when you have those guys that are not just good 2575 01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:25,840 Speaker 3: at communicating to you know, a group of five that 2576 01:49:26,120 --> 01:49:28,160 Speaker 3: have to work together. It's necessary for those guys to 2577 01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:31,960 Speaker 3: work together. But the communication is the only thing that matters. 2578 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:33,719 Speaker 3: Like they have to be on the same page. 2579 01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:36,000 Speaker 22: And you would be angry if we left out the 2580 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,679 Speaker 22: tight ends because they're also a part of it. Whether 2581 01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:40,880 Speaker 22: it was Kim Kelly who was the tight end coach 2582 01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:44,080 Speaker 22: and then became voc but he also worked in conjunction 2583 01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 22: with Brisillo because a lot of those guys. 2584 01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:49,400 Speaker 1: Have to work in cemt with one of the friends too. 2585 01:49:49,439 --> 01:49:52,200 Speaker 1: Let's give him credit. It's interesting you. 2586 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,920 Speaker 3: Talk about the tight ends. During during my era, Mike 2587 01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,880 Speaker 3: Pope was one of the most important pieces of the 2588 01:49:58,040 --> 01:50:01,519 Speaker 3: offensive run game design. You came from Washington, they ran 2589 01:50:01,600 --> 01:50:04,240 Speaker 3: that countertray, and we had all of these different run 2590 01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:08,240 Speaker 3: schemes so that we could dial up success regardless. 2591 01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:09,320 Speaker 5: Of what a defense was trying to do to us. 2592 01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 1: And so the jots are the same way now they 2593 01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,640 Speaker 1: run all different seat and you have. 2594 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:16,519 Speaker 3: To have that because if you're just an inside zone, 2595 01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:19,599 Speaker 3: split zone type run offense, you can get a beat 2596 01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:21,680 Speaker 3: on that right, you can dog to prevent those things 2597 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 3: from happening. But when you start throwing in the gap 2598 01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:26,840 Speaker 3: scheme and the trick plays in the motion for complexity's sake, 2599 01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,920 Speaker 3: those type of things create confusion and all it takes 2600 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:31,760 Speaker 3: sometimes for a running back when you got two good 2601 01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:35,200 Speaker 3: ones like we were alluding to Tyrone Tracy and Cam Scataboo, 2602 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:38,120 Speaker 3: all you need is a step right, you need one step, 2603 01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:40,439 Speaker 3: you break a tackle, and you have big plays coming 2604 01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:41,240 Speaker 3: out of the run game. 2605 01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:43,760 Speaker 5: And it's something that I love to see it. 2606 01:50:43,840 --> 01:50:46,560 Speaker 3: I know we become infatuated in the NFL with the 2607 01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:49,599 Speaker 3: big pass game because the twenty plus yard plays increase 2608 01:50:49,680 --> 01:50:52,479 Speaker 3: your EPA. You know your chances of scoring by you know, 2609 01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,479 Speaker 3: twenty to thirty percent, whatever the number is. If you 2610 01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:57,639 Speaker 3: can create big plays in the run game, it makes 2611 01:50:57,720 --> 01:50:59,160 Speaker 3: everything so much easier. 2612 01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:00,840 Speaker 1: And it makes your quarter backs job easier. 2613 01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:02,400 Speaker 2: What I was gonna say is that you know, one 2614 01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:04,439 Speaker 2: of the reasons Darts had success, guys, that he's not 2615 01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:06,960 Speaker 2: sitting in thirty twelve. Yeah this year, right, He's just 2616 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,880 Speaker 2: not right because they've run the ball well early on downs. 2617 01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:11,880 Speaker 2: Last piece of audio from the locker room of the 2618 01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:15,360 Speaker 2: year Abdul Carter, who finished his rookie year strong and 2619 01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:17,920 Speaker 2: not have a SAC today but was still impactful in 2620 01:51:18,000 --> 01:51:19,000 Speaker 2: the backfield throughout. 2621 01:51:19,400 --> 01:51:21,160 Speaker 1: He spoke to the media after the game. What's your 2622 01:51:21,160 --> 01:51:21,720 Speaker 1: Abdul Carter? 2623 01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:23,040 Speaker 7: You've got a player, a. 2624 01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:24,639 Speaker 22: Better person and carry over. 2625 01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:25,719 Speaker 7: Yeah, everything counts. 2626 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:26,920 Speaker 5: All the habits you make counts. 2627 01:51:26,960 --> 01:51:28,680 Speaker 9: Everything you do was the end of the year is 2628 01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:30,240 Speaker 9: definitely want to carry you into next season. That's what 2629 01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:31,880 Speaker 9: I'm gonna try to do, to try to do more 2630 01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:32,320 Speaker 9: for the team. 2631 01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:34,720 Speaker 22: How much will you miss some of these teammates who 2632 01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:36,160 Speaker 22: probably will be here next year. 2633 01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,519 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm hurt right now. I'm miss I miss it already. 2634 01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:40,160 Speaker 9: I don't want to stop, so you don't. 2635 01:51:40,200 --> 01:51:42,000 Speaker 15: I'm sure if you're asking before Greg was saying, you're 2636 01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:43,360 Speaker 15: early in the season, you're a little. 2637 01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:46,240 Speaker 1: Bit more reserved in terms of not speaking up. Now 2638 01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:49,280 Speaker 1: what change to make you want to speak up and 2639 01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:49,760 Speaker 1: talk here? 2640 01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:51,760 Speaker 28: And it's that just you coming to your own You've 2641 01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:53,400 Speaker 28: wound up being a little bit more of a vocal. 2642 01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:54,040 Speaker 14: Later moving forward. 2643 01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:56,240 Speaker 9: Uh No, I can't really speak on that, but it's 2644 01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,719 Speaker 9: just I just felt they need to say something because 2645 01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:00,720 Speaker 9: you know, I felt like we were happy for the win, 2646 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,880 Speaker 9: but just me and myself how I felt. I'm hurt 2647 01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,000 Speaker 9: right now, just just what I want to keep playing. 2648 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:07,240 Speaker 9: I want to do more, and I feel like we 2649 01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:09,120 Speaker 9: should be in a better position than we're not now. 2650 01:52:09,120 --> 01:52:10,479 Speaker 9: I want to make sure that we do everything in 2651 01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:12,200 Speaker 9: our power next year so'll be not in this position. 2652 01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:15,280 Speaker 1: That's a dual quarter after the year. 2653 01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:17,080 Speaker 2: And Paul, you were down there with him man asking 2654 01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,640 Speaker 2: him some of those questions, and what's your impression of 2655 01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:21,360 Speaker 2: him heading into the off season here before we wrap 2656 01:52:21,439 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 2: things up with our calls. 2657 01:52:22,439 --> 01:52:25,040 Speaker 22: I think he got more locked in and flipped the 2658 01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:27,960 Speaker 22: switch over the final month of the season and became 2659 01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,200 Speaker 22: more of the player that the Giants expected, and look. 2660 01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:33,759 Speaker 1: Every rookie comes into this league. It's an adjustment. 2661 01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:36,519 Speaker 22: You've got to become a professional in a hurry, and 2662 01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:41,200 Speaker 22: not every guy follows the same timeline. Abdua Cardon needed 2663 01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,679 Speaker 22: a little more time, Thank goodness for the Giants. 2664 01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:45,400 Speaker 1: He didn't need the whole season, right. 2665 01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,120 Speaker 2: Or too three in the case of speaking to the 2666 01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:51,920 Speaker 2: point that we've made before, how it's tough to count 2667 01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:53,479 Speaker 2: on rookies third overall pick. 2668 01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,120 Speaker 1: I know what, people, that's a lot of expectations teams. 2669 01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,320 Speaker 1: Takes time sometimes for these guys to figure things. 2670 01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:00,160 Speaker 3: He's found his process, and I think that's that's what 2671 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,600 Speaker 3: I appreciate most about his development these last five or 2672 01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:03,080 Speaker 3: six weeks. 2673 01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:05,240 Speaker 2: And now you hope you carries that into the offseason, 2674 01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:07,840 Speaker 2: has a good off season, finds some time whoever he's 2675 01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,519 Speaker 2: going to train with before the Giants offseason program starts, 2676 01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:13,360 Speaker 2: work on your craft.

He was Abdullah's defensive line coach in 2691 01:53:40,200 --> 01:53:42,000 Speaker 2: Penn State.

They 2718 01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:49,720 Speaker 35: would borrow it away, went down. I don't know whatever 2719 01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:56,000 Speaker 35: deserved it. Yeah, it's kind of like, hey. 2720 01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:58,520 Speaker 1: Richie, Hey Richie, guess what it was seventeen games instead 2721 01:54:58,560 --> 01:54:59,000 Speaker 1: of sixteen. 2722 01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:05,120 Speaker 35: No, there's a little take for your team maybe. 2723 01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:09,600 Speaker 22: I like that's fair, That's all right, a couple of things. 2724 01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:12,840 Speaker 35: I'm part of it. I didn't care one way if 2725 01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,400 Speaker 35: they want a lost today. It's meaningless to me, guys, 2726 01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,480 Speaker 35: especially the way the team played Dallas really doesn't mean anything. 2727 01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:21,680 Speaker 35: Take you know better than I going into next year. 2728 01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:23,320 Speaker 5: It means something that means something. 2729 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:27,680 Speaker 3: But what means something to it means something to Jackson Dart, 2730 01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:29,360 Speaker 3: it means something to those guys that are going to 2731 01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,080 Speaker 3: be a part of trying to build something better. 2732 01:55:31,440 --> 01:55:31,920 Speaker 5: Next season. 2733 01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything for next year, but it means 2734 01:55:34,400 --> 01:55:35,840 Speaker 1: something to the players. Correct. 2735 01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:38,720 Speaker 35: Okay, and and as far as the pick goes, I 2736 01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:41,120 Speaker 35: hope wherever we are, hope of Reese is out there, 2737 01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:43,680 Speaker 35: hopeing Bailey's out there. I want to see our defense 2738 01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:45,520 Speaker 35: all line back because Okorea, I know, made a couple 2739 01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:48,640 Speaker 35: of interceptions and not the answer. McFadden comes back, they'll 2740 01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:51,640 Speaker 35: be better. But here here's the real point, John, I 2741 01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,440 Speaker 35: made it on Saturday. I understand that you want a 2742 01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:56,880 Speaker 35: guy that's going to build up dot. I want this 2743 01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 35: team teak to be a defensive minded team because that's 2744 01:55:59,520 --> 01:56:01,840 Speaker 35: what they was supposed to be initially this year. I 2745 01:56:01,960 --> 01:56:04,480 Speaker 35: want to guy. I am really high on Sula, I 2746 01:56:04,600 --> 01:56:07,160 Speaker 35: really am. I'm high on Shula. And can we keep 2747 01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:11,240 Speaker 35: Kafka as an offensive coordinator? I don't think it's the craziness, 2748 01:56:11,920 --> 01:56:17,120 Speaker 35: but look, yeah, Tike, what happens with the loser of 2749 01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:21,520 Speaker 35: Harboll and Tomlin tonight? That could be question? 2750 01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:24,680 Speaker 3: Man, right, I think so much of it, Richie, appreciate 2751 01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,040 Speaker 3: your call off, long and happy new year to you. 2752 01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,000 Speaker 5: I think it's going to matter what it looks like 2753 01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:31,400 Speaker 5: for both of those Both of those guys. 2754 01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,080 Speaker 3: I mean, if it's ugly for either side, then maybe 2755 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:37,040 Speaker 3: that's the last straw that that kind of ends it 2756 01:56:37,160 --> 01:56:37,880 Speaker 3: for either one of those. 2757 01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:40,160 Speaker 1: But again, if one of those guys, let's let's go. 2758 01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:41,240 Speaker 1: Do they want to coach next season? 2759 01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:41,480 Speaker 7: Yeah? 2760 01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:43,880 Speaker 2: He guys been grinding for a decade. Do they want 2761 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:45,120 Speaker 2: to be like, yo, dude, I need a break for 2762 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:45,520 Speaker 2: a year? 2763 01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:45,800 Speaker 17: Yeah? 2764 01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:50,160 Speaker 3: Well, for Tomlin, it's been two decades, right, it's been 2765 01:56:50,240 --> 01:56:52,520 Speaker 3: saying it's eighteen season, right, in two decades, I'm sorry. 2766 01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:56,120 Speaker 3: Lots of success for for both of them, and it's 2767 01:56:56,200 --> 01:56:59,240 Speaker 3: I think it matters how it ends. I think John 2768 01:56:59,320 --> 01:57:02,960 Speaker 3: Harball this three two or three weeks ago, and it 2769 01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:05,960 Speaker 3: sounded like, no matter what happens, he's coaching next year, 2770 01:57:06,320 --> 01:57:07,480 Speaker 3: and so he's going. 2771 01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:07,720 Speaker 31: To get that. 2772 01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,000 Speaker 3: He basically said, whether it's whether it's here in Baltimore 2773 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:13,080 Speaker 3: or whether it's someone else somewhere else, he wants to 2774 01:57:13,120 --> 01:57:13,560 Speaker 3: be a coach. 2775 01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:13,720 Speaker 1: Now. 2776 01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:17,240 Speaker 3: Right now, there's only two openings, right it's Tennessee and 2777 01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:18,000 Speaker 3: the New York Giants. 2778 01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: So could there be more sure? Could there? 2779 01:57:20,240 --> 01:57:23,080 Speaker 5: Could it happen in Cleveland, et cetera? 2780 01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:23,480 Speaker 1: Who knows? 2781 01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:27,040 Speaker 3: But I think if John Harbill or Mike Tomlinan comes available, 2782 01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:30,880 Speaker 3: they have to be seriously considered for this job, which, 2783 01:57:30,920 --> 01:57:33,080 Speaker 3: as we talked about a little bit earlier, is one 2784 01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:35,720 Speaker 3: of the going to be one of the desirable jobs 2785 01:57:35,960 --> 01:57:38,600 Speaker 3: that come available this offseason or that is available this offseas. 2786 01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:41,320 Speaker 2: By the way, the Rams trying to win today and 2787 01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:44,480 Speaker 2: if they win, they hold the they will hold the 2788 01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,280 Speaker 2: five seed in the NFC playoff race. They just went 2789 01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:50,839 Speaker 2: behind to Izona Cardinals twenty to sixteen. 2790 01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:52,280 Speaker 5: Struggling against the Cardinals wift. 2791 01:57:52,320 --> 01:57:53,880 Speaker 2: And by the way, if the Cardinals do win that game, 2792 01:57:53,880 --> 01:57:55,920 Speaker 2: that would also help the Giants draft posess draft ife 2793 01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:57,320 Speaker 2: for the Giant fans that care about that. 2794 01:57:57,720 --> 01:57:59,760 Speaker 1: So just something to keep in mind. The Jets do 2795 01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:01,600 Speaker 1: to the Giants, and he favors though they trail the 2796 01:58:01,640 --> 01:58:02,520 Speaker 1: Bills twenty nine. 2797 01:58:02,440 --> 01:58:05,320 Speaker 2: To nothing, that they're embarrassing and twenty nine nothing again, 2798 01:58:05,480 --> 01:58:07,320 Speaker 2: look they right now, they and if they end up 2799 01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:09,320 Speaker 2: losing that game, they will have the second overall pick 2800 01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:12,160 Speaker 2: in the draft. So you'll have two quarterback needy teams 2801 01:58:12,200 --> 01:58:13,600 Speaker 2: on the top of the draft, and I think that 2802 01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:15,600 Speaker 2: makes those decisions fairly. 2803 01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,560 Speaker 3: Assuming both of the quarterbacks that everybody's talking about at 2804 01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:19,000 Speaker 3: the top. 2805 01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,400 Speaker 2: Of this draft come out well, obviously mendoz Is, but 2806 01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:23,280 Speaker 2: we got to see if Dante Morris are coming out too, 2807 01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:25,200 Speaker 2: which which we don't know yet for sure, depends how 2808 01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:28,640 Speaker 2: the rest of that college football playoffs go. All right, 2809 01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:33,120 Speaker 2: let's go to Moose. He is in Jamaica. I'm assuming 2810 01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:33,680 Speaker 2: that's Jamaica. 2811 01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:34,280 Speaker 1: Queen's moves. 2812 01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:37,400 Speaker 16: What's going on, buddy, that's what's going on. 2813 01:58:37,600 --> 01:58:41,600 Speaker 27: Hey guys, Happy New Year. Hoping you enjoyed. Yeah, chilling, 2814 01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:44,360 Speaker 27: I hope you enjoy your holiday, and instead to end 2815 01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:46,560 Speaker 27: the season with the win first, real quick, just at 2816 01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,960 Speaker 27: the point of my call, thanks, appreciate it, not the 2817 01:58:49,040 --> 01:58:52,400 Speaker 27: point of my call. Remember, Torell's Suns had a bad combine, 2818 01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:55,840 Speaker 27: bad measurable dad pro day, and he slid from a 2819 01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:59,640 Speaker 27: top three k to where he was drafted. You think, 2820 01:59:00,280 --> 01:59:03,240 Speaker 27: it's not who's that where you drafted, it's who you 2821 01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:04,880 Speaker 27: draft and who's drafting them. 2822 01:59:05,520 --> 01:59:06,080 Speaker 1: Right, And. 2823 01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:10,080 Speaker 5: Don't bring up because he beat me in the Super 2824 01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:10,960 Speaker 5: Bowl in two thousand. 2825 01:59:12,160 --> 01:59:14,840 Speaker 27: I remember, I remember that was the first Bowl ever. 2826 01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:15,240 Speaker 24: You was. 2827 01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:18,720 Speaker 1: Definitely and then a couple of the guys on that 2828 01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:19,800 Speaker 1: defense were pretty good. 2829 01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:23,120 Speaker 27: I mean, you couldn't get to carry Collins and stop 2830 01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:29,360 Speaker 27: throwing it to the guys at Purple. Anyway, it is 2831 01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:32,720 Speaker 27: the world's greatest defensive we ever saw, apparently except the 2832 01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:37,640 Speaker 27: twenty twelve team maybe, but no, what a season. I'd 2833 01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:40,160 Speaker 27: like to call this season a summon up growing teams. 2834 01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:42,200 Speaker 27: We had a lot of chances to win. But if 2835 01:59:42,240 --> 01:59:44,600 Speaker 27: you look at it, look at the schedule if you 2836 01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,320 Speaker 27: want to like, look how many people, how many teams 2837 01:59:47,360 --> 01:59:50,200 Speaker 27: these things that were either that are in the playoffs, 2838 01:59:50,280 --> 01:59:53,560 Speaker 27: currently in their quarterbacks, or up to the last two 2839 01:59:53,600 --> 01:59:56,120 Speaker 27: weeks of the season buying for a playoff spot. So 2840 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:58,680 Speaker 27: it was gonna be rough. I didn't expect much I 2841 01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:01,720 Speaker 27: wanted to see. And then proving offense. I knew our 2842 02:00:01,800 --> 02:00:04,640 Speaker 27: defense would struggle a little bit stopping the run because 2843 02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:07,880 Speaker 27: we lost the key run stuffer on the line. The 2844 02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:10,000 Speaker 27: free agency didn't fill that in with the draft. We 2845 02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:13,360 Speaker 27: made a draft pick, but he's developing. So but what 2846 02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:16,440 Speaker 27: I hope to see in summing up this season and 2847 02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:19,040 Speaker 27: my phone call, thanks for man, let me make the call, 2848 02:00:19,760 --> 02:00:23,520 Speaker 27: is the continued progress of Darts and whatever pieces we 2849 02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:29,120 Speaker 27: added on and what to do with alumin or Londell Robinson, 2850 02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:32,640 Speaker 27: Okara Kay and whoever else we need to replace that 2851 02:00:32,760 --> 02:00:34,720 Speaker 27: may Leaven free agency techniquely. 2852 02:00:34,280 --> 02:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Sad and flat Bellinger. 2853 02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:36,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we got it. 2854 02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:38,160 Speaker 3: We had a bunch of guys that are gonna have 2855 02:00:38,200 --> 02:00:40,160 Speaker 3: to We're gonna have to make decisions on and thanks 2856 02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:41,920 Speaker 3: on you.

The Giants don't have 2859 02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:49,960 Speaker 3: a ton of cap room in twenty twenty six. They 2860 02:00:50,000 --> 02:00:51,920 Speaker 3: have a lot more in twenty twenty seven. 2861 02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:53,440 Speaker 2: Which is why you should be able to push some 2862 02:00:53,520 --> 02:00:56,320 Speaker 2: money back in these if you need to, if you 2863 02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:58,160 Speaker 2: need to, and you got to be smart about that. 2864 02:00:58,200 --> 02:01:00,440 Speaker 3: And I think the biggest thing from it a general 2865 02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:04,640 Speaker 3: managing standpoint in this offseason is making decisions not based 2866 02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:07,040 Speaker 3: on your motion, not based on well, this is the 2867 02:01:07,080 --> 02:01:08,800 Speaker 3: guy that I drafted, this is the guy. It's got 2868 02:01:08,920 --> 02:01:12,640 Speaker 3: to be metric based. It's got to be on performance 2869 02:01:12,720 --> 02:01:15,840 Speaker 3: and what they project to be going forward. Because if 2870 02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:19,000 Speaker 3: you're just keeping guys around because you feel like they 2871 02:01:19,680 --> 02:01:22,640 Speaker 3: should be here, you're gonna end up making the wrong decision. 2872 02:01:22,680 --> 02:01:24,240 Speaker 5: It's got to be about the guys that need to 2873 02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:24,600 Speaker 5: be here. 2874 02:01:24,920 --> 02:01:26,320 Speaker 1: And look, here's the bottom line, guys. 2875 02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:28,480 Speaker 2: As we go along here and the cap keeps getting 2876 02:01:28,480 --> 02:01:32,240 Speaker 2: bigger and bigger, the free asians become scarcer and scarcer 2877 02:01:32,680 --> 02:01:35,879 Speaker 2: because teams have more cap space to retain the players 2878 02:01:35,920 --> 02:01:36,520 Speaker 2: that they like. 2879 02:01:36,760 --> 02:01:38,480 Speaker 1: With tags if they choose that too. 2880 02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:42,000 Speaker 2: So as you get further along here, I mean, I'm 2881 02:01:42,040 --> 02:01:45,200 Speaker 2: looking at the top for agents in this year's class. 2882 02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:46,600 Speaker 1: It's not great. 2883 02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:48,760 Speaker 2: No, Like, there's not a lot of big names here, 2884 02:01:48,840 --> 02:01:52,000 Speaker 2: like the top wide receivers Christian Kirk right, like, there's 2885 02:01:52,080 --> 02:01:55,520 Speaker 2: just not a lot of big names, bigger and again 2886 02:01:55,560 --> 02:01:57,200 Speaker 2: he's the guy don' like it to get tagged, right, 2887 02:01:57,600 --> 02:02:01,000 Speaker 2: So you look at these the the group of players, 2888 02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:04,040 Speaker 2: and it's gonna be hard to find difference makers at all. 2889 02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:07,320 Speaker 2: And then throw on top of that, there's so much 2890 02:02:07,520 --> 02:02:11,840 Speaker 2: money available to spend because of the increasing cap. The 2891 02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:16,120 Speaker 2: amount that these guys get overpaid commensurate to the value 2892 02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:19,120 Speaker 2: they bring on the field is going to get greater 2893 02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:23,200 Speaker 2: and greater. So it makes free agency as exciting as 2894 02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:25,200 Speaker 2: that two or three day period is, and you get 2895 02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,200 Speaker 2: all pumped up. I'm getting this guy, I'm getting that guy. 2896 02:02:28,720 --> 02:02:30,920 Speaker 2: A lot of times, it's fool's gold, and it's a 2897 02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:33,760 Speaker 2: fool's errand to go about it this way. That's why 2898 02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:35,880 Speaker 2: it comes back to it. We've talked about it. Guys, 2899 02:02:36,640 --> 02:02:40,760 Speaker 2: draft and develop. It's hard re sign your guys. That's 2900 02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:41,400 Speaker 2: how you do it. 2901 02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,760 Speaker 3: It's hard to live in free agency unless you do 2902 02:02:43,840 --> 02:02:45,880 Speaker 3: it like the Rams do. And I'm not against that model, 2903 02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:48,520 Speaker 3: by the way, where you overpay, you push money down 2904 02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:51,200 Speaker 3: the line, you avoid put all these void years on. 2905 02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:53,280 Speaker 3: It's what the Eagles have done and it allowed them 2906 02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:55,560 Speaker 3: to win a super Bowl. It's what the Rams have done. 2907 02:02:55,560 --> 02:02:57,320 Speaker 3: It helped them win a super Bowl and then fantasy. 2908 02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:00,000 Speaker 3: The Eagles spend most of their big money on recite 2909 02:03:01,120 --> 02:03:03,280 Speaker 3: do But I'm saying, but it's a lot of that 2910 02:03:03,440 --> 02:03:06,240 Speaker 3: is kicked down the line so you can you can 2911 02:03:06,320 --> 02:03:09,120 Speaker 3: retain those guys. Again, it's free agency, and it's guys 2912 02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:10,040 Speaker 3: that they drafted. 2913 02:03:10,080 --> 02:03:12,560 Speaker 22: But every year they get guys fall into their labs 2914 02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:15,600 Speaker 22: in the draft and they get Ultra and how about 2915 02:03:15,640 --> 02:03:16,400 Speaker 22: Sonny zact Bond. 2916 02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:19,040 Speaker 3: But it's yeah, right, but but it's yes, they do 2917 02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:21,040 Speaker 3: fall to their to the to them in the draft. 2918 02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:23,440 Speaker 3: But they've also scout. They scout the best. 2919 02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:24,200 Speaker 1: Players they do right. 2920 02:03:24,240 --> 02:03:26,919 Speaker 3: They bring in They bring in d Lineman from Georgia, 2921 02:03:27,320 --> 02:03:29,960 Speaker 3: and Georgia won multiple national championships in a row. 2922 02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:31,160 Speaker 5: Do you think that those guys are going. 2923 02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:31,640 Speaker 1: To be players? 2924 02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:31,920 Speaker 14: Sure? 2925 02:03:32,040 --> 02:03:34,800 Speaker 2: John Campil's from a pretty good program, right the last 2926 02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:35,520 Speaker 2: time I checked. 2927 02:03:36,440 --> 02:03:38,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think the the interesting part John, about 2928 02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:39,120 Speaker 1: what you just. 2929 02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Said, Jalen Carter, Georgia right, like ify Loland Smith's look 2930 02:03:42,200 --> 02:03:45,240 Speaker 2: at the program, it's about economics, the law of supply 2931 02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:46,080 Speaker 2: and demand. 2932 02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:49,680 Speaker 1: And that's why every Giants fan out there understand. 2933 02:03:49,280 --> 02:03:52,000 Speaker 22: That the law of supply and demand is probably going 2934 02:03:52,080 --> 02:03:55,200 Speaker 22: to result in some big numbers from other teams, for 2935 02:03:55,360 --> 02:03:59,960 Speaker 22: Cordell Flott, for Jermaine a Luminor, and for Wandell Robinson. 2936 02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:04,040 Speaker 22: And if the Giants can't chase those numbers, you're gonna 2937 02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:05,160 Speaker 22: lose those players right now. 2938 02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:06,920 Speaker 3: You got to replace them. And who you replace them 2939 02:04:06,960 --> 02:04:09,320 Speaker 3: with in the draft or otherwise is really what's gonna 2940 02:04:09,320 --> 02:04:09,880 Speaker 3: matter most. 2941 02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why the decisions end up being so tough. 2942 02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:15,280 Speaker 2: When you figure out how you want to do this, 2943 02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:16,880 Speaker 2: and they'll put the cap guys to work, you know, 2944 02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:20,160 Speaker 2: Kevin de Bourbons and Mac Cruz will figure out how 2945 02:04:20,240 --> 02:04:22,000 Speaker 2: to make that happen. All right, let's wrap things up 2946 02:04:22,280 --> 02:04:24,200 Speaker 2: with our buddy, Sonny and Malvern. He will be our 2947 02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:27,600 Speaker 2: final caller on Giants extra point this year. Sonny, how 2948 02:04:27,640 --> 02:04:28,320 Speaker 2: are you pass up? 2949 02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:28,640 Speaker 5: Sonny? 2950 02:04:29,560 --> 02:04:29,800 Speaker 16: Wow? 2951 02:04:29,920 --> 02:04:33,080 Speaker 18: What a great, great honor it is. Ticky, Paul and John, 2952 02:04:33,120 --> 02:04:35,600 Speaker 18: I miss your last Saturday. It's an honor to be 2953 02:04:35,680 --> 02:04:36,320 Speaker 18: the last caller. 2954 02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm listening. 2955 02:04:37,040 --> 02:04:39,280 Speaker 18: It feels good, feels great actually for a giant win. 2956 02:04:39,360 --> 02:04:42,480 Speaker 18: Whether you're a player, a coach, a fan, it doesn't matter. 2957 02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:45,920 Speaker 18: Every win in the NFL is a great win. And listen, 2958 02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:47,920 Speaker 18: we're not the Raiders of this year with the two 2959 02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:52,240 Speaker 18: thousand and eleven occults when they paint suck for Luckier, 2960 02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:54,640 Speaker 18: when after Peyton Manning's neck injury, they didn't sign a 2961 02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:57,600 Speaker 18: veteran quarterback when they played quarterbacks like Curtis Painter, which 2962 02:04:57,680 --> 02:05:00,560 Speaker 18: led to widespread losses. Listen, the main thing is get 2963 02:05:00,600 --> 02:05:03,600 Speaker 18: the right coach in here, the right coaching staff. Coaching 2964 02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:05,640 Speaker 18: staff is important because you don't want your head coach 2965 02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:08,440 Speaker 18: coaching the coaches. So let's go after the right players. 2966 02:05:08,520 --> 02:05:10,880 Speaker 18: Let's go after a linebacker from Ohio State, one of 2967 02:05:10,920 --> 02:05:13,360 Speaker 18: those two guys. Guys, I think we're in great shape 2968 02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:14,080 Speaker 18: for next year. 2969 02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,080 Speaker 5: Go big Blue, no doubt, Sonny. 2970 02:05:17,160 --> 02:05:19,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, the safety from Ohio state's pretty good. 2971 02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, all those guys are and it's just I 2972 02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:25,520 Speaker 1: don't know how they got knocked out. So he's those 2973 02:05:25,560 --> 02:05:28,880 Speaker 1: their defensive tackle, but they got some players. Maybe the 2974 02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:31,640 Speaker 1: league should just expand and put Ohio State in the NFL. 2975 02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:34,320 Speaker 3: But again, they won national championship there a year ago. 2976 02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:36,640 Speaker 3: It's it's it's a good program. Ryan Day has done 2977 02:05:36,640 --> 02:05:39,800 Speaker 3: a heck of a job there and so that's that's 2978 02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:42,480 Speaker 3: that's the start of it. Right There's it's free agency. 2979 02:05:42,760 --> 02:05:45,840 Speaker 3: College football is professional football. It's just it just it's 2980 02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:49,600 Speaker 3: called something else. And you know it's monetized differently these days, 2981 02:05:49,640 --> 02:05:51,600 Speaker 3: and so you got to get the guys that are 2982 02:05:51,640 --> 02:05:54,560 Speaker 3: motivated to play, but also the guys that aren't afraid 2983 02:05:55,040 --> 02:05:57,760 Speaker 3: to go against competition. And I think when you see 2984 02:05:57,800 --> 02:06:00,240 Speaker 3: these guys at these big programs, the Ohio State in 2985 02:06:00,320 --> 02:06:05,240 Speaker 3: the the Alabamas of the world, et cetera, Georgia's, they're 2986 02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:07,600 Speaker 3: not going in as freshmen and playing right away, right 2987 02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:09,760 Speaker 3: they're competing against guys are going to be playing in 2988 02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:12,480 Speaker 3: the league. And so it's the whole cliche. I mean, 2989 02:06:12,520 --> 02:06:16,520 Speaker 3: I said this earlier. NFL players. Football players live by cliches. 2990 02:06:16,600 --> 02:06:19,400 Speaker 3: It's iron sharpening iron. You get better when you compete 2991 02:06:19,400 --> 02:06:21,360 Speaker 3: against the best, not when you're just handed a job 2992 02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:22,400 Speaker 3: and you know something cheeky. 2993 02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:25,640 Speaker 22: Because of the nil, more of these college guys will 2994 02:06:25,800 --> 02:06:29,320 Speaker 22: stay longer in school and play more games in school 2995 02:06:29,400 --> 02:06:32,520 Speaker 22: because they're getting cash anyway, which means they're being more 2996 02:06:32,640 --> 02:06:34,200 Speaker 22: developed by the time they get. 2997 02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:36,560 Speaker 2: To the There are going to be fewer underclassmen in 2998 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,320 Speaker 2: this draft than we've seen in right, and. 2999 02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:42,440 Speaker 3: The only only position it really hurts you to stay 3000 02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:46,160 Speaker 3: is quarterback because you come in as an older, older player. 3001 02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:48,280 Speaker 5: You know, you're twenty five to twenty four years old. 3002 02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:48,600 Speaker 1: Say that. 3003 02:06:48,640 --> 02:06:50,800 Speaker 2: The Jaymes, Daniel bon Nicks, though, right, came in and 3004 02:06:50,960 --> 02:06:54,040 Speaker 2: up being great. Tyler Shuck, Tyler Shock a better. 3005 02:06:53,880 --> 02:06:56,360 Speaker 3: One, having a good season this year down in New Orleans. 3006 02:06:56,440 --> 02:06:58,880 Speaker 3: But a part of that, let's be honest, is Kellen Moore. 3007 02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:01,120 Speaker 3: Kellen Moore has been a good head coach, and I 3008 02:07:01,160 --> 02:07:02,720 Speaker 3: think we kind of knew that for a couple of 3009 02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:05,720 Speaker 3: years coming, and he got his opportunity and after some 3010 02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:08,320 Speaker 3: fits and starts down there, they turned it around and 3011 02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:09,280 Speaker 3: won some games late. 3012 02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:11,160 Speaker 2: All right, So let me just do the playoffs real 3013 02:07:11,240 --> 02:07:13,160 Speaker 2: quick here, just so fans that are listening, and you 3014 02:07:13,200 --> 02:07:14,640 Speaker 2: guys correct me if I get any of this wrong, 3015 02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:16,800 Speaker 2: because I'm going off two sheets here, and if I'm wrong, 3016 02:07:16,840 --> 02:07:19,240 Speaker 2: I'm mistaken. The Broncos right now have a thirteen to 3017 02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:21,760 Speaker 2: three lead over the Chargers. They're gonna look like hold 3018 02:07:21,760 --> 02:07:24,080 Speaker 2: onto that game. They're gonna get the one seed. The 3019 02:07:24,200 --> 02:07:26,440 Speaker 2: Patriots they're winning their game. They're gonna be the two 3020 02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,560 Speaker 2: seed in the AFC. The Jaguars are gonna be the 3021 02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:31,200 Speaker 2: three seed. The four seed will either be the Steelers 3022 02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:33,800 Speaker 2: or the Ravens, depending on who wins tonight. On Sunday 3023 02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:36,360 Speaker 2: Night Football, you have the Houston Texans. They won today. 3024 02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:39,240 Speaker 2: They will be the fifth seed. The Chargers are and 3025 02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:44,800 Speaker 2: the Bills are locked in here. The Chargers, if they lose, 3026 02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:48,120 Speaker 2: they will drop to the seventh seed. Because the Bills 3027 02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:50,240 Speaker 2: right now are blowing out the New York Jets, they 3028 02:07:50,280 --> 02:07:52,360 Speaker 2: will jump up to the sixth seed. 3029 02:07:52,480 --> 02:07:53,200 Speaker 1: In the AFC. 3030 02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:56,360 Speaker 2: In the NFC playoff race, it's a little bit more complicated, 3031 02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:58,600 Speaker 2: but I think I have this set. The Seattle Seahawks, 3032 02:07:58,640 --> 02:08:00,600 Speaker 2: with that win last night, they have the first round 3033 02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 2: by they will be the number one seed. 3034 02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:05,560 Speaker 1: The Bears right now are losing, so are the Eagles. 3035 02:08:05,920 --> 02:08:08,960 Speaker 2: If both those teams win or lose, the Bears hold 3036 02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:12,040 Speaker 2: the tie breaker. If the Bears lose and the Eagles win, 3037 02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:14,120 Speaker 2: the Eagles will move up to the two seed. The 3038 02:08:14,160 --> 02:08:17,000 Speaker 2: Bears will be the three. You have the Carolina Panthers 3039 02:08:17,080 --> 02:08:20,240 Speaker 2: locked into the four seed, talk about backing into the playoffs. 3040 02:08:20,480 --> 02:08:22,720 Speaker 2: They lose the must win game yesterday, but the Falcons 3041 02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:27,440 Speaker 2: win today. That pushes the Falcons into the postseeds. Panthers, 3042 02:08:27,520 --> 02:08:30,840 Speaker 2: the pat Panthers and nine. I know again, by the way, 3043 02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:33,440 Speaker 2: not the first time we've seen an NMC South team 3044 02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:35,240 Speaker 2: make the team with the sub five hundred record. That 3045 02:08:35,280 --> 02:08:38,280 Speaker 2: has happened multiple times. Panthers did it, I think again. 3046 02:08:38,440 --> 02:08:40,080 Speaker 2: I think they're seven to nine when they got in 3047 02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,480 Speaker 2: years ago too, and then they won around they did 3048 02:08:44,600 --> 02:08:49,480 Speaker 2: absolutely right. The San Francisco forty nine ers, they are 3049 02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:54,600 Speaker 2: twelve and five. If they they will looks like will 3050 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,880 Speaker 2: be the five seed. If the Rams lose, they will 3051 02:08:57,920 --> 02:09:00,640 Speaker 2: be the sixth seed. They're down right now though. 3052 02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:03,200 Speaker 1: They are. Oh, they just took the lead. They just 3053 02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:04,000 Speaker 1: took the lead, all right. 3054 02:09:04,080 --> 02:09:06,440 Speaker 2: So if the Rams hold on and win, they will 3055 02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:08,880 Speaker 2: pop up to the fifth seed and the Niners will 3056 02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:11,480 Speaker 2: drop down to the sixth seed in that scenario, So 3057 02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:13,520 Speaker 2: keep an eye on that. And the Packers are locked 3058 02:09:13,560 --> 02:09:16,000 Speaker 2: in to the seventh seed. They lost, they arrested all 3059 02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:18,200 Speaker 2: their guys. They're nine to seventy one. So that's what 3060 02:09:18,280 --> 02:09:20,920 Speaker 2: the playoff situation looks like right now in the National 3061 02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,600 Speaker 2: Football League in terms of the Giants in their draft position, 3062 02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:27,320 Speaker 2: let me hit that for you two again. It's gonna 3063 02:09:27,360 --> 02:09:30,360 Speaker 2: depend on what's going on with these late games. 3064 02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:35,440 Speaker 1: Right now. The Washington Commanders are still up on the 3065 02:09:35,520 --> 02:09:36,640 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. 3066 02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:37,600 Speaker 5: They went down. 3067 02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:39,320 Speaker 2: Oh, they just went down. The Eagles just scored in 3068 02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:41,800 Speaker 2: that game. Okay, the Eagles up fourteen to ten. If 3069 02:09:41,880 --> 02:09:45,240 Speaker 2: the Eagles end up winning that game and the Washington 3070 02:09:45,320 --> 02:09:49,720 Speaker 2: Commanders end up losing, the Commanders will select ahead of 3071 02:09:49,800 --> 02:09:51,280 Speaker 2: the Giants at number five. 3072 02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:53,360 Speaker 1: The Cardinals another team to watch. 3073 02:09:53,680 --> 02:09:57,440 Speaker 2: If they win that game, they would slide behind the Giants, 3074 02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:00,360 Speaker 2: and the Giants would then select five instead of six. 3075 02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:05,920 Speaker 2: If the Jets, Cardinals, and Washington Commanders all lose, the Giants. 3076 02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Will have the sixth pick. 3077 02:10:06,880 --> 02:10:08,600 Speaker 2: If any of those teams lose, and the Jets are 3078 02:10:08,600 --> 02:10:10,200 Speaker 2: not gonna be one of those teams right the record, 3079 02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:12,920 Speaker 2: Jets are gonna be the third pick, so second pick. Actually, 3080 02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:14,480 Speaker 2: if they lose, they'll move ahead of the Titans. So 3081 02:10:14,720 --> 02:10:18,840 Speaker 2: it's basically the Cardinals, the Giants, and the Commanders that'll 3082 02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:21,960 Speaker 2: be picking four, five, and six. The Giants will be 3083 02:10:22,160 --> 02:10:26,600 Speaker 2: six if both the Cardinals and the Commanders lose. If 3084 02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:28,880 Speaker 2: one of those teams win or both, that pushes the 3085 02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:31,840 Speaker 2: Giants up one or two spots to the four or 3086 02:10:31,920 --> 02:10:33,720 Speaker 2: five spots in the NFL draft. 3087 02:10:33,760 --> 02:10:36,240 Speaker 1: All right, I think we have those logistics covered. Guys. 3088 02:10:36,520 --> 02:10:39,360 Speaker 2: Final thoughts before we say goodbye, either on this season 3089 02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:42,000 Speaker 2: the offseason. However you want to attack a Paul, Let's 3090 02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:43,320 Speaker 2: go to U first, and then we'll close with teak 3091 02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:44,000 Speaker 2: Well johnn. 3092 02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:45,600 Speaker 1: The only thing I want to say is, for all 3093 02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:46,920 Speaker 1: these years that I've been doing. 3094 02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:49,080 Speaker 22: This thing, and I see that the Giants only have 3095 02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:51,440 Speaker 22: four wins to end the season, I feel a lot 3096 02:10:51,520 --> 02:10:54,400 Speaker 22: better now than any of those other seasons where the 3097 02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:56,920 Speaker 22: Giants were so many games under five hundred. 3098 02:10:56,680 --> 02:10:59,600 Speaker 1: At the close of the schedule. This team does have 3099 02:11:00,120 --> 02:11:01,240 Speaker 1: so much to offer. 3100 02:11:01,640 --> 02:11:03,680 Speaker 22: But as I said during the pregame show, the one 3101 02:11:03,800 --> 02:11:06,640 Speaker 22: thing that has to happen no matter who they name 3102 02:11:06,720 --> 02:11:07,200 Speaker 22: is the coach. 3103 02:11:07,440 --> 02:11:09,320 Speaker 1: And no matter who the coordinators and the. 3104 02:11:09,320 --> 02:11:13,520 Speaker 22: Staff members are, this team needs its best players to 3105 02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:17,200 Speaker 22: play up to their potential. Most of those guys this 3106 02:11:17,440 --> 02:11:19,920 Speaker 22: season did not do that. I don't care how it 3107 02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:23,640 Speaker 22: gets done. If that does not happen, the Giants will 3108 02:11:23,680 --> 02:11:24,640 Speaker 22: not progress next year. 3109 02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:25,160 Speaker 1: I agree with that. 3110 02:11:25,200 --> 02:11:27,360 Speaker 2: And the other thing I'll add to you need the 3111 02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:29,600 Speaker 2: guys on your rookie contracts and continue to get no 3112 02:11:29,720 --> 02:11:32,360 Speaker 2: question right, the Drew Phillips, the Tyler Nubin, the John 3113 02:11:32,400 --> 02:11:35,440 Speaker 2: Michael Schmidz. I'll even throw and again through his fourth year, 3114 02:11:35,720 --> 02:11:37,760 Speaker 2: Deontay Banks into the MIxS all the guys that they've 3115 02:11:37,840 --> 02:11:39,960 Speaker 2: drafted over the past three or four years at our 3116 02:11:40,080 --> 02:11:43,040 Speaker 2: rookie deals. They need to continue to improve and get 3117 02:11:43,120 --> 02:11:45,280 Speaker 2: better and develop. And if you do that, combine it 3118 02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:48,160 Speaker 2: with that and look, this coaching hire is super important. 3119 02:11:48,160 --> 02:11:51,400 Speaker 2: And Richie made a point on his phone call where 3120 02:11:51,400 --> 02:11:52,560 Speaker 2: I want a defensive head coach. 3121 02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Look, guys, you need both. 3122 02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 7: Right. 3123 02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:56,480 Speaker 2: If you get a great offensive coach and he hires 3124 02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:59,240 Speaker 2: a bad defensive coordinator, you're not going enough games. If 3125 02:11:59,280 --> 02:12:01,760 Speaker 2: you hire a defense coach, how's the bad offensive coordinator, 3126 02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:04,400 Speaker 2: You're not gonna win enough games. So however, whatever head 3127 02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:07,560 Speaker 2: coach you hire, if he's a special teams coach, you 3128 02:12:07,760 --> 02:12:09,840 Speaker 2: have to make sure you hire a good coach to 3129 02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:12,000 Speaker 2: run the offense, a good coach to run the defense. 3130 02:12:12,440 --> 02:12:15,560 Speaker 1: And that's gonna be hugely important in developing this team. 3131 02:12:15,600 --> 02:12:17,560 Speaker 2: I do think there's enough talent on both sides of 3132 02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:21,120 Speaker 2: the ball for this sn to be a relevant playoff 3133 02:12:21,240 --> 02:12:24,120 Speaker 2: contender at the end of the season. And you know, 3134 02:12:24,320 --> 02:12:27,520 Speaker 2: when we're I'm going through all the logistics in December 3135 02:12:27,640 --> 02:12:30,839 Speaker 2: for who's gonna make the playoffs and scenarios. The Giants 3136 02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:35,840 Speaker 2: have enough players to be involved in that conversation at 3137 02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:38,360 Speaker 2: some point in December. Yeah, if they play well enough 3138 02:12:38,400 --> 02:12:39,880 Speaker 2: and get the coaching, that's my final I think. 3139 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,160 Speaker 3: I think it needs to get granular. I talked about 3140 02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:45,040 Speaker 3: this with Tom Coffin when he came in, and he, 3141 02:12:45,360 --> 02:12:48,200 Speaker 3: you know, he I think he specifically targeted guys who 3142 02:12:48,240 --> 02:12:51,080 Speaker 3: he knew he needed to turn into players get more 3143 02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:51,360 Speaker 3: out of. 3144 02:12:51,480 --> 02:12:52,320 Speaker 5: And I was one of them. 3145 02:12:52,720 --> 02:12:55,080 Speaker 3: Had some good years and they're Jim Fossil, but I 3146 02:12:55,120 --> 02:12:57,960 Speaker 3: became a really great player under Tom Kauflin. So whoever 3147 02:12:58,120 --> 02:13:00,520 Speaker 3: the new head coach is, it's got to be individual 3148 02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:03,280 Speaker 3: and and I learned a lot from calling games and 3149 02:13:03,360 --> 02:13:05,840 Speaker 3: having a chance to talk to head coaches over the 3150 02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:08,600 Speaker 3: last six years prior to this season. And one that 3151 02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:11,839 Speaker 3: impressed me a lot was Dan Quinn down in Washington. 3152 02:13:11,920 --> 02:13:14,240 Speaker 3: And you ask why, and it was obviously because Jade 3153 02:13:14,320 --> 02:13:17,360 Speaker 3: Daniels turned into a really good Rookie of the Year quarterback. 3154 02:13:17,400 --> 02:13:19,480 Speaker 3: He took him to the NFC Championship game. But it 3155 02:13:19,600 --> 02:13:22,560 Speaker 3: was less about what happened on the Sunday afternoons during 3156 02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:25,920 Speaker 3: the football season. It was how he individually got all 3157 02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:27,760 Speaker 3: of those guys. I think they actually hired a staff 3158 02:13:27,840 --> 02:13:32,160 Speaker 3: position to professionally develop everybody in that organization. So you 3159 02:13:32,240 --> 02:13:33,960 Speaker 3: go to the offensive coordinator said what do you want 3160 02:13:33,960 --> 02:13:35,640 Speaker 3: to get better at? You go to the defensive coordinator, 3161 02:13:35,680 --> 02:13:37,040 Speaker 3: what do you want to get better at? You go 3162 02:13:37,160 --> 02:13:39,600 Speaker 3: to the players, what do you want to get better at? 3163 02:13:39,800 --> 02:13:43,440 Speaker 3: And when you create that individual accountability for each individual, 3164 02:13:43,520 --> 02:13:46,480 Speaker 3: so each individual is deciding what I need to do 3165 02:13:46,600 --> 02:13:51,400 Speaker 3: better to be great, it incentivizes you to create a 3166 02:13:51,480 --> 02:13:54,360 Speaker 3: plan and to focus on that plan. So the Giants 3167 02:13:54,400 --> 02:13:57,480 Speaker 3: are going into the offseason, it is it's the first 3168 02:13:57,520 --> 02:13:59,920 Speaker 3: week of January. Take a month month and a half 3169 02:14:00,120 --> 02:14:02,440 Speaker 3: off whatever it is, but then get back to work 3170 02:14:02,600 --> 02:14:06,400 Speaker 3: executing that plan that is identified for each individual here. 3171 02:14:06,480 --> 02:14:08,440 Speaker 5: And that's with the Tyrone Tracy's of the world. 3172 02:14:08,480 --> 02:14:11,200 Speaker 3: That's the Jackson Darts, Brian Burns out do Carter even 3173 02:14:11,240 --> 02:14:14,480 Speaker 3: more specifically, have a plan on how you're going to 3174 02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:17,240 Speaker 3: go into the twenty twenty sixth season. And it's amazing 3175 02:14:17,560 --> 02:14:19,800 Speaker 3: when you have a plan and you follow it how 3176 02:14:19,880 --> 02:14:20,680 Speaker 3: success finds you. 3177 02:14:20,920 --> 02:14:22,240 Speaker 2: And I'll just leave it with this, But none of 3178 02:14:22,320 --> 02:14:24,000 Speaker 2: us mentioned Jackson Dart in or answer, and I feel 3179 02:14:24,000 --> 02:14:24,680 Speaker 2: like one of us should. 3180 02:14:25,480 --> 02:14:27,080 Speaker 1: He's kind of important as well. 3181 02:14:27,600 --> 02:14:29,520 Speaker 5: I think we know where we are whe Jackson's art. 3182 02:14:29,600 --> 02:14:33,520 Speaker 3: He said it, Yeah, it is unacceptable to have that 3183 02:14:33,680 --> 02:14:36,520 Speaker 3: type of season going forward. And I think that leadership 3184 02:14:36,640 --> 02:14:39,160 Speaker 3: is something that is so important for a guy who 3185 02:14:39,320 --> 02:14:41,120 Speaker 3: is going to be the face of this world, which, 3186 02:14:41,160 --> 02:14:41,400 Speaker 3: by the. 3187 02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:44,080 Speaker 22: Way, shows you that the losing streak and some of 3188 02:14:44,160 --> 02:14:46,520 Speaker 22: the troubles that this team had this year did not 3189 02:14:46,720 --> 02:14:49,040 Speaker 22: scar him as much as people fear. 3190 02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:52,919 Speaker 2: And a promising rookie year not a finished product. Continue 3191 02:14:52,960 --> 02:14:55,160 Speaker 2: to develop, improve on the parts of the game that 3192 02:14:55,320 --> 02:14:59,000 Speaker 2: need improvement, and all rookie quarterbacks need to improve every year, 3193 02:14:59,440 --> 02:15:01,360 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what you show in your rookie year. And 3194 02:15:01,480 --> 02:15:04,160 Speaker 2: obviously his development and continuing to grow into somebody that 3195 02:15:04,520 --> 02:15:07,880 Speaker 2: can be a franchise quarterback is essential for this organization 3196 02:15:08,320 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 2: moving forward, because you don't just need a head coach. 3197 02:15:11,080 --> 02:15:13,200 Speaker 2: You need a head coach and you need a quarterback, 3198 02:15:13,320 --> 02:15:14,920 Speaker 2: right and those are the two pieces of the formula 3199 02:15:15,040 --> 02:15:17,280 Speaker 2: that are must have if you want to have long 3200 02:15:17,400 --> 02:15:20,240 Speaker 2: term success in the National Football LEAGEIKI, It's been a pleasure, man, 3201 02:15:20,600 --> 02:15:22,080 Speaker 2: It's so much fun.
