1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of Big Blue Kickoff live right 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: here on Giants dot com. He's Lance Metal, I'm John Schmolked. 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: The phone number for you as two four five one 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: three or hashtag Giants Chat on Twitter if you want 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: to get in touches us that way you can. And 6 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: the Giants are coming off a victory, our first victory 7 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Monday of the two thousand and nineteen season, and about 8 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: as dramatic fashion as you can imagine, they defeat the 9 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: Tent Bay Buccaneers thirty two to thirty one. Daniel Jones, 10 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: making his starting debut as your rookie quarterback, had one 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: of the frankly best debuts in NFL history as a 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Four touchdowns, two through the air, two on 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the ground, twenty three or thirty six three thirty six 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. It wasn't perfect. He had a 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: pair of fumbles, He had a ball that should have 16 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: been intercepted it was not. But Lance and we're not 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: gonna bury the lead here. That was as good of 18 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: the debut that you could have imagined. That everything you 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: saw in the preseason that you thought or you hoped 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: was real look pretty real against the atty good defense 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: in the Buccaneers. Yeah, translated over and this was also 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: the first defense that game planned to slow him down. 23 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: So I think when you take that into consideration, you 24 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: know that was certainly impressive as well. He stayed strong 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: in the pocket, He was able to maintain his composure, 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: he took several hits, he still made the throws. You 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: look at all of that, I think that's another big 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: factor as to you know, why his debut was so impressive, 29 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: because most guys they can't handle themselves in the pocket 30 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: under those circumstances, and he did. And I mean there 31 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: were a number of times where he threw down the field. 32 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: The Darius Slade in forty six yard throw. Now he 33 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: had pressure in his face and he still went to 34 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: form with that throw. He read the pressure comfrom his 35 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: right hand side, he shuffled in the pocket to the left. 36 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: I think it was nassive that was rushing off that 37 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: edge at that place to him or Nelson, I think 38 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: that was nassive on that particular play, steps up in 39 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: the pocket, doesn't quite throw across his body, but he's 40 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: almost fading to the left as he throws back over 41 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: the middle to the right and it's slaying on a 42 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: perfect throw in stride. He beat Vernon Hargrave's the safety 43 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: kind of stepped up so his man on man deep 44 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: and that was one of the plays I thought he 45 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: did show good pocket presence. He had to play in 46 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: the first quarter where Shaquille Barrett got around the edge 47 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: on Nate Solder and he kind of got a piece 48 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: of Jones on the shoulder and kind of pulled him 49 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. Jones stayed up, kept his composure, rolled 50 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: out to the left, completed a pass a se kwon 51 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: Barkley too converted third down. Now, I do think in 52 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: the second after a players where held the ball too 53 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: long and that allowed the pressure to get home. And 54 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: that's part of the thing rookie quarterbacks can learn. And 55 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: I think the important thing with this lance is the 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: mistakes that he made are things that are correctable, and 57 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: some of the plays he didn't make though, our plays 58 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: that are innate things two quarterbacks that are almost instinctual, 59 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: and I think they're probably pretty hard to teach, and 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: that he's showing those so earlier in his career is 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: a very good sign. Well. Even Pat Sherman mentioned that 62 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: in his postgame pressure John he said, you know the 63 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: things that jumped out to them when they scouted him. 64 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: They knew he had to intangibles, which are the things 65 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: that can't necessarily be taught. But the things that they're 66 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: not worried about, which are easily correctable, which is what 67 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: you just touched on. You know, holding onto the football 68 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: too long, you know when to run out of bounds 69 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: as opposed to go for the extra yardage, which was 70 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: something that happened in the Cowboys game. If you remember 71 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: when he fumbled the football. You know, those things. Just 72 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: the more and more reps you get, the more and 73 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: more comfort you get with the personnel, you can certainly 74 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: learn from those most mistakes. I mean, he was almost 75 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: picked off on one throw, and I'm sure he's gonna 76 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: look back at that throw where there was double coverage 77 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately, you know, the Bucks fortunately I 78 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: should say the Bucks dropped it, so you know it 79 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: didn't turn over and and to be bad field position 80 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: for the Giants defense. But you know, those are the 81 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: type of moment you learn from so that you don't 82 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: necessarily try to squeeze it into a very tight quarter 83 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: moving forward. That play, by the way, it was a 84 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: third and fifteen in the first half of the game. 85 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: I think it was the first quarter, and he was 86 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: trying to Benny Fowler on a deep end cut and 87 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the Bucks were in two man to man, two men 88 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: on there, which basically means there's two men deep, the 89 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: two safeties are hanging deep and everyone else is a 90 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: man to man and Fouler runs a deep in cut 91 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: and that's safety was watching Jones the whole time, and 92 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: he jumped the route. Fouler could have run a little 93 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: bit of a better route, but I frankly don't think 94 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: it would have married even if he did, because Michael 95 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Stewart jumps the route, hits him right in the hands. 96 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Mike Edwards. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mike Edwards. A Stewarts 97 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: their defensive back who was their nickel guy. So Edwards 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: steps in their bullets and right in the hands. And 99 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: it's funny. I saw a couple of people tweet and 100 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: I was like, what, like, oh, give him credit for 101 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: taking a shot down the field and not just checking 102 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: it down. No, no, no, no, no no, no. The 103 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: lesson there is. That's why sometimes on third and really 104 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: long you have to check down because if you try 105 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: to make the play. If he catches that ball lands, 106 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: that's the chance that gets returned for a touchdown had 107 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: easily been a pick six. That was the first thing. Absolutely, 108 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: So that's why sometimes fans might hate that check down 109 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: on third and long. Sometimes better to live and fight 110 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: another day. And I'm sure that's a lesson that Daniel 111 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: Jones will learn and better off learning that lesson on 112 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: a ball that's not picked off that a ball that 113 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: is picked off. Yeah, And those are the types of 114 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: lessons that we're talking about, which you go back, you 115 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: studied the film, John, and you learn from that so 116 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: that you don't repeat the same mistake. And remember one 117 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: of the things that Pat Schremer Mike Schula talked about 118 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: all throughout training camp, all throughout the preseason, Daniel Jones 119 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: is the type of quarterback that he doesn't duplicate mistakes 120 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: they set down on multiple occasions, John, that once they 121 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: tell him one thing, whether it be mechanics, fundamentals, you 122 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: name it, he doesn't go out there and repeat the 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,119 Speaker 1: same thing. So that I think is an encouraging sign. 124 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: And it's gonna be more and more interesting to see 125 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: how he adapts the different defenses that are gonna throw 126 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: different tricks his way and how he responds to that. 127 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: But you know, for a team that was very aggressive, 128 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was blitzed on fifty six percent of dropbacks 129 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: coming in, which was the highest rate in the NFL. 130 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: You had Shack Barrett, an elite pass rusher this season 131 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: who had four sacks and forced two fumbles against Daniel Jones. 132 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: For him to stay in there, regroup, recover, and then 133 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: lead the team down the field late in the game 134 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: to what was it go ahead touchdown drive that ultimately 135 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: turned out to be the game winning drive. I think 136 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: was a translation of what we saw flashes of John 137 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: in the preseason. Remember the Bears preseason game and the fumbles, 138 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: some of the mishaps, but the common thread was he'd 139 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: always come back John the next drive and he put 140 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: it behind him or even the next place sometimes passed. 141 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: So that was once again something that you wanted to 142 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: see duplicated repeated in the regular season, and I think 143 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: at least through one game we saw that again. Now 144 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: according to the PF numbers that were out this morning, 145 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: and I think this is the preliminary one, so that 146 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: the final Yet the Bucks only blitzed on fourteen of 147 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: Jones's forty seven dropbacks, so that was only about thirty percent, 148 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: and he did pretty well against those. He actually did 149 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: best against Cover three according to their numbers, but they 150 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: did blitz a little bit less. But when they did 151 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: Blitzy handled really well. And I thought the offensive line 152 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: gave him time to throw on a lot of the blitzes. 153 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: In fact, when the Bucks got home it was a 154 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: lot of times on four man rushes. It wasn't even 155 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: on their blitzes when they got to the quarterback. So 156 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: I thought the offensively did a good job. He was 157 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: able to pick out those mismatches and make those throws. 158 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: And again zone the thing about it with rookie quarterbacks 159 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: sometimes Lance and you watch him play, it just looks 160 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: like sometimes they have no idea where to go with 161 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: the ball based on what they're seeing on defense. Right, yeah, 162 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: that too. And Jones is quiet, Feedy is poised, and 163 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: he just seems to know immediately based on what he 164 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: reads on defense where the ball needs to go. And 165 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, maybe he'll throw a bad pass and he 166 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: will completely He missed Russell Sheppard on that bomb, He 167 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: missed stolen Shephard on and out look he missed a 168 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: couple of throws. This happens. It's fine. I'm not criticizing before. 169 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: But the important thing is that for a guy that's 170 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: young to know so quickly and to make those reason 171 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: decisions so fast, that's what makes a good quarterback in 172 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: the league. Now, how good is he gonna be? There's 173 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: no way to know. You know, we've had guys have 174 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: great debuts before and and and come back down to earth, 175 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: you know, even after a year. I mean, everyone thought 176 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield last year was going going to the whole 177 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: of fame, right, Well, how how's that going on your 178 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: number two? So don't put the gold jacket on him yet. 179 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: But for a start, and that's what we've been saying 180 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: since the beginning. Every test that he's been given, he's 181 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: been able to pass. And the fact that in the 182 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: first regular season start, it's it's one more I'll use 183 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: the phrase, Pat Shermer used one more box to check. 184 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: He was extremely comfortable from start to finish. And that's 185 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: one of the things that you you know, just alluded 186 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: to in terms of you want to see you put 187 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback in his environment, which is a regular season game, 188 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: how does he handle himself. Well, the moment wasn't too big, 189 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't too overwhelming, So that was obviously an encouraging aspect. 190 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: And you know, here's another difference that I think helped 191 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones put together the type of performance that he 192 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: had yesterday and should not be overlooked in the frenzy 193 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: of being excited over a quarterback. Guys made plays for 194 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback yesterday. That's a really good point. And that 195 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: was something that was not necessarily consistently taking place in 196 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. Now, this is not a defense 197 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: mechanism for free line manning here. I'm not bringing that up. 198 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm just bringing up there is a level of execution 199 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: that was reached yesterday with the receivers and the tight 200 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: ends that I don't think we saw at a consistent 201 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: rate in weeks one and weeks two. Case and point, 202 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: John Evan Ingram very first drive of the game, he 203 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: goes up, he makes a one handed grab on a 204 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: third and six. Okay, you know you hear that cliched 205 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: phrase going above the XS and os. I was about 206 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: to use that cliche. Congratulations, your minds think a lot less. 207 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: So that was a literal and figuratile figurative definition of 208 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: going above the XS and os. I mean it was 209 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: a poor throw. It was high behind them, but Evan 210 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: ingram overcame that made the play move the chains well 211 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: and Evan gram To, how about a seventy five yard touchdown? 212 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: Wasn't any sort of spectacular throw? Was a basic play 213 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: action twelve yard crossed behind the linebacker. He catches it 214 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: the defensive back, the safety that was either Stewart or 215 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: or or um Edwards. Again I forget which one. They 216 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: take a bad angle, bad angle. Darius Slaine Blocksbern and 217 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: Hargraves on the side part of the play, and he 218 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: goes and scores a touchdown. So it looks like a 219 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: seventy five yard completion, but really it was just a 220 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: twelve yard cross. And again this is not saying that 221 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: doesn't count. But the point that Lance is making is 222 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: that his teammates helped him to you know, Stroling Shepherd. 223 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: It was a great pass, really good pass, but he 224 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: also made a nice little diving catch in the other 225 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,359 Speaker 1: one for the touchdown. And these are the plays quarterbacks 226 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: need two be successful and rhythm, and he made plays 227 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: about the XS and O s. Tue by the way, 228 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: and he did some things in this game that Eli 229 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: Manning would not have been capable of doing if he 230 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: was in the game. You know, yeah that in the 231 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: second quarter there was a third and five he runs outside. 232 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Shaq Barrett has the ankle as the angle on him 233 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: to stop him from scrambling for the first down, but 234 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: he underestimated Jones's speed. He gets outside of him, runs 235 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: for the first down. When you're inside the red zone, 236 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: they ran that really nice fake jet sweep after the 237 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: Russian Shepherd into the read option the Barkley inside Jones, 238 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: who had you know, I was watching the defense on 239 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: prire run plays if they were going to see him 240 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: roll out or not holds the ball, runs around the edge, 241 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: uses speed, gets the touchdown, then of course the game 242 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: winning drive he ends up running in. When the red 243 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: seat part the R and C whatever you wanna call it, 244 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: parts in the parts in the middle of the field, 245 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: they're in man to man um, Jordan's Whitehead goes to 246 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: double cover Evan Ingram, even though Lavante David has him 247 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: pretty much blanketed, leaves open the middle of the field 248 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: wide open. Daniel Jones Boom takes advantage of it and 249 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: scores the touchdown, and but prior on that drive, there 250 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: was another throw that no one. It's one of those 251 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: things that's lost in the context of the game. I 252 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: thought the biggest story of that drive wasn't that thirty 253 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: yard one to Shephard, which is wide open to the left. 254 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: I thought that twenty yard passed the slain down the 255 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: right sideline was such an important part of that drive. 256 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: Lance because the Bucks are playing soft coverage and if 257 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: you look at I looked at it the coach's tape 258 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: on the way home on the plane last night, and 259 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: they're in that soft zone and you know Slaton's running 260 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: your your basic stop route around twenty yards down the field. Right. 261 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: Jones releases that ball on that route almost two steps 262 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: before Slayton even starts to come out of his route. 263 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: He throws that ball with such anticipation and so accurately 264 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: that it might not have worked if he didn't throw 265 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: out that way. And those are the type of anticipatory 266 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: passes that you don't normally see from a young quarterback. 267 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: And that passed to me along with the Slaton when 268 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned when he had the pocket presents to roll 269 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: out and buy extra time. We're two of the most 270 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: important plays for me uh for Jones as a passer 271 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: in that game, Slatan made multiple great plays catches eighty 272 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: two yards, a very impressive debut which gets overlooked because 273 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: the way Daniel Jones played, But the reason why it's 274 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: important to talk about Slade in his views, once again, 275 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: Jones's stats don't look nearly as impressive. Half of the 276 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: big play is the receiver on the other end coming 277 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: through for his quarterback. Slayton did that, Evan Ingram did that. 278 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd had seven catches for a hundred yards. So 279 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, those accumulation of above xs and those plays 280 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: by the personnel around the quarterback I think was a 281 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: big difference as to why the auience were able to 282 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: extend drives John specifically, in the first half they were 283 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: five of eight on third down. They weren't as impressive 284 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: on third down in the second half they were only 285 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: one for five, and part of that was because in 286 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: the sacks that Daniel Jones took, which is part of 287 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: the learning curve of a young quarterback. And by the way, 288 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: the length of those two there were two fifteen yarders 289 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: in there, and of seven a couple of fives, and 290 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: part of that was because of penalties and sacks taken. 291 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: But the other thing that they executed so well was 292 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: in the red zone. There was three or four in 293 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: the red zone. And that's also a reflection of Daniel 294 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: Jones decision making on top of players making plays. Because 295 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: the Shepherd touchdown what impressed me the most is, first 296 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: of all, Daniel Jones put that football in a position 297 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: where only Sterling Shepherd was gonna get. It's a great throw. 298 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: That's what made the throw dynamite. But also Shepherd had 299 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: a step on the defense to position himself where he 300 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: knew he was gonna box out anybody from getting in 301 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: front of it. Yeah, I ran the strolling in the 302 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: hallway today and I mentioned that play to him and 303 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: I said, starting, you know you won that At the 304 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: line of scrimming, he was, yeah, I know. He was 305 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: hardays like almost hit him in the face actually when 306 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: he jammed a line of scrimmage. But if you watch it, 307 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: if you go back and watch the play, folks, at 308 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, Shepherd kind of avoids his jam 309 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. He only brushes him and that gets 310 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: Hardgraves kind of off balance and Shepherd has that step 311 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: right off the line of scrimmage. That's where he won. 312 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: The rattle wasn't at the top of the rot where 313 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 1: he goes outside. It was at the line of scrimmage 314 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: when he beat him on the jam, and that's what 315 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: turned that into a touchdown. Well, that's another example of 316 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: once again individuals winning their man on man battles, which 317 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: was something that wasn't necessarily jumping off the film and 318 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: the tape over the first two weeks of the season. 319 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: Now the injury news is another big factor. Yeah, we 320 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: probably should get to you mean Russell Shepherd, right, that's 321 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Russell Shepherd by them, who should mention Russell Shepherd has 322 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: a footsprain that they're looking into. But by the way, 323 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: just had a conference call which he did announce that. 324 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: That's why we're a coming minutes late. We tried to 325 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: listen to the whole thing, but we didn't want to 326 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: keep the show going any later. But the big news 327 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: is the one Lance is about to give you. Yeah, 328 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: say Kwan Barkley. Pat Schremer did confirm it's a high 329 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: ankles brain. Unlike the media reports that are out there, 330 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: pat Schremer was not willing to provide any significant timetable, 331 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: So as far as the Giants are concerned, they're not 332 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: putting him within a specific group of weeks, days, day 333 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: to day. There really is no status right now John 334 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: connected to s Kuon Barkley. But in fairness, there have 335 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: been multiple reports out there were not naive. We see 336 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: them like you, and the timelines are fluctuating between four 337 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: to eight weeks, and generally that's what high ankle springs are. 338 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: High ankle spring is usually a multi week That's just 339 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: what if you go based on what other players have 340 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: had to deal with. So I mean go back, remember 341 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: love Vernon last year? How many weeks did he missed 342 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: the end of the year with my ankle spraying? It 343 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: just just the way it is. So there's a good 344 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: chance that they're gonna have to live and experience life 345 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: without their dynamic running back, which means Wayne Goldman now 346 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: has an unbelievable opportunity. He was on the team before 347 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: s Kwon Barkley even arrives, So I'd be licking my 348 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: chops if I'm Wayne Golman. Hey, you know now you 349 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: could be the every down back and prove that you know, 350 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: you could still be a very productive player, so a 351 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: great opportunity for him. Now. Paul Perkins was recently waived. 352 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: The Lions picked him up, but they do have two 353 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: running backs on the practice squad John, and I think 354 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: probably the Giants will consider all in one of them up. 355 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: John Hilleman was very productive in the preseason. He has 356 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: familiarity with the scheme, but he may be the first 357 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: one up. Pat Schirmer did mention they're going to also 358 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: evaluate their options. Usually on off days, every team brings 359 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: in guys to work out. I wouldn't be surprised if 360 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: they check in on the running back free agent market 361 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: as another potential option in addition to who's on the 362 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: practice squadron. Yeah, that would be a natural thing to do. Obviously, 363 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: you see if they can find somebody to help full 364 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the void. But I think Wayne Goldman is a guy 365 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: that can handle twenty carries a game. You know, he's 366 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: a guy, he's a bigger guy who runs with power. 367 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: I think he can handle that, and I think he's 368 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: probably gonna have to early in this process until they 369 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: get whomever that next guy is, Acclaman, unless they go 370 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: to a guy like Hillerman who's been here since the spring, 371 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: who should be fully integrated into the playbook and be 372 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: able to figure those things out. And they can also 373 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: use Alijah Penny if they have to in the running 374 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: game as a half back point if if they want 375 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: to do that, which is also an option. I guess 376 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: we should talk about the defense for comments before we right. Yeah, 377 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: it wasn't good. Um uh. The Giants give up nearly 378 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: five hundred yards of offense once again. The Bucks score 379 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: are on all six of their drives in the first quarter, 380 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: the first half. I'm sorry, it seemed like the first 381 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: quarter did. The Bucks managed to get a lot of 382 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: one on one matchups and in that first half against 383 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: some Giants splitz is Oj Howard had a couple of 384 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: one on ones, and obviously Mike Evans, who had almost 385 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yards receiving in the first half and 386 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, got manned up on g Nors Jenkins and 387 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: Jenkins did not have a lot of help on those plays, 388 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: which I know people want to take this out on 389 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit, but look, man on man on Mike Evans 390 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: is one thing. Man on man on Mike Evans with 391 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: no help. That's hard for any quarterback in the league. 392 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: It just is it's not an easy thing to do, 393 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: so uh he had issues. Uh DeAndre bakrash Il play 394 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: when it was better games of the year. I think 395 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: he gave up just two passes over the course of 396 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: the game. The run game, the run defense. In the 397 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: second half, when they started going to more of that 398 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: too safety deep stuff, the run defense softened up, which 399 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: is expected. You only have you know, six or seven 400 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: guys in the box, depending on what type of packages 401 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: you're in. So the Bucks ran them all a little 402 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: bit better, but they did eliminate those chunk plays. I 403 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: think there were eight plays of fifteen yards or nine 404 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: plays in fifteen yards or more over the course of 405 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: the game, but most of those came in the first 406 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: half and really got eliminated in a half. Number one, Yeah, 407 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: I had the tally at six for twenty or more 408 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: yards of that kind in the first half. So yes, 409 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: they short things up in the second half. What you 410 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: were talking about when the Bucks pounded the football, I 411 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: believe they ran seven straight times on the ground, six 412 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: by Ronald Jones to start that drive. The seventh they 413 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: gave it to Peyton Barber and you know, part of 414 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: the rational was the Giants couldn't afford to allow Tampa 415 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: By to get in the end zone because if the 416 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: Bucks score touchdown, the games over right was over. And 417 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: by the way, give credit to Ryan Connolly who made 418 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: a really nice play near the goal line on that 419 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: third and two from the five to prevent that first down. Well, 420 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the same play. Michael 421 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: Thomas made a hell of a plate too. That was 422 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: on that was that was that was on the next 423 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: drive when the Giants were trying to get the ball 424 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: back and it was a third and one, Cameron Braake 425 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: came out of the back and tackled him in space 426 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: and conly made the second nice play on the play 427 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: prior to that too, where he forced Ronald Jones into 428 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: a cutback right at the decks to Lawrence and b 429 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: J Hill on the second and two on the play 430 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: prior to that, which also prevented the first down. So 431 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: the defense didn't make a couple of big stops and 432 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: they had to pay big moments, which was Connolly also 433 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: had the first takeaway of the season for the Giants. 434 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: He had the interception when Jameis Winston had I believe 435 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: it was Mike Evans wide open and just for some 436 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: reason overthrew him which could have just been an easy 437 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: dump off pass. But the end behind them. The Giants 438 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: will take the takeaways when they could get it. The 439 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: problem is two plays later, Shaq Barrett feasts again, gets 440 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: a fourth sack and a forced fumble. Seven. A nice 441 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: year capitalized on that. Yeah, yeah, well he had three. 442 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: He has seven sacks in the last two weeks. Yeah, 443 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: because he had three against the Panthers, he had won 444 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: the first week, and then he comes back with four 445 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: this week, so it's safe to say he may be 446 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: named defensive Player of the Week for the second stray week. 447 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: Did they sign on to a long term contract? I 448 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: have to look that up, and that guy's on a 449 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: one year deal. His agent right now is just listened 450 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: to the cash register going off in his ears. Well, 451 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: I think his agents hoping it's a one year deal. Yeah, 452 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: I think it's his language in the contract to get 453 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: the case. But book, folks, the bottom line is that 454 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: the defense has to get better. You can't give up 455 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: that many chunk plays in a game that many big plays. 456 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: Then at the end of the game, once again, Genera 457 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: Jenkins is isolated on Mike Evans and he gets beat deep. Uh, 458 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: there was no safety over the top on that side 459 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: of the field. They were both in the middle of 460 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: the field, and you know, they've just happened to make 461 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: the really big play deep. So, I mean, you just 462 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: can't have those types of big plays and the Giants 463 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: were fortunate to overcome it in this game. Uh. They 464 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: were fortunate that the Bucks missed a game winning thirty 465 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: four yard field goal, which is basically an extra point 466 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: and it just didn't go in. Uh for the Bucks. 467 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: They missed an extra point earlier in the game, They 468 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: had an extra point blocked earlier in the game. The 469 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: Giants made a two point conversion. Those things all add up, folks, 470 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: they really do, and it makes all the difference in 471 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: these games sometimes. So the Giants defense has to get better. 472 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: They did have some more sacks thanks to Jami Winston 473 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: holding the ball a little bit. They got some pressure 474 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: on some stunts. Marcus Golden had a pair of sacks. 475 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: I thought Dexter Lawrence again was was pretty disruptive, getting 476 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: after the quarterbacks all on all ends. Uh, defense still 477 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: needs a lot a lot of work. Even though the 478 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: second half performance was much much better than the first half, perform. Well, 479 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: it's become a trend, John, because in the Bills game, 480 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: they played much better in the second half too, and 481 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: kept buffalo and check after a rough first half, and 482 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: the same thing pretty much happens all over again. So 483 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure a lot of people are watching 484 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: and they're saying to themselves, well, what is it they 485 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: need two quarters to just get a feel for the 486 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: opposition or get a feel for themselves. If that trend continues, 487 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: it's never a good recipe to have to play catch 488 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: up every single week. So the big plays have to 489 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: be eliminated now. Eleven touchdown drives of at least seventy 490 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: yards in the first three games combined. So you know, 491 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: the law of average says, yeah, things should improve. But 492 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: the law of average right now was also showing that 493 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: they're given up about three and a half per game, 494 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: which is not necessarily something that you can sustain victory 495 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: after victory with. So that's only gonna put more pressure 496 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: on Daniel Jones and the offense moving forward, which is 497 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: why the defense has to meet the offense halfway. And 498 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: you brought up the fact that they work for fortunate 499 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: the ball did bounce their way despite the defensive breakdowns 500 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: with the missfield goal, and this is after the Giants 501 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: have had all the unlucky breaks not go their way 502 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: over the last few years. Graham Gono, Jake Elliott, nick 503 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: Folk actually believe it or not, in two thousand seventeen 504 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: he hit a thirty four yard game winning field going 505 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: the same exact stadium. So it's kind of ironic that 506 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: two years later, new kicker, same distance misses. And not 507 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: that Giants fans care about this. But I still don't 508 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: understand why Bruce arians took a delay of game penalty. 509 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: Anybody will ever understand even listening to his postgame press 510 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: or what he said that he wanted to make it 511 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: easier for his kicker from a longer distance. I would 512 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: take the chip shot for a rookie kick, or a 513 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: veteran kick, or anybody in between, any day of the weekend. 514 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: Twice on Sunday, could you bring up the calls from me? 515 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: For some reason, I still can't be more than happy 516 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 1: to bring up that document. I think you already hanything 517 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: and every if you can send it. I didn't do 518 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: have the document up. I don't know why I opened 519 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: it twice. Can you send the invite to me again, 520 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: maybe I can actually access it during this shows on 521 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: to ridof your screen, Ty in Maryland will lead us off, Tie, 522 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: what's going on? Hey, what's going on? Guys? Hi, welcome 523 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: to the show. What's happen time? All right, I'm at 524 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: work right now, so I can't really talk too loud, 525 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: but I just wanted to say, um, congratulations to Daniel 526 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Jones and the Giants were getting his first win on 527 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: his first start, first three plus multiple touchdown game as 528 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: well as his first fourth quarter comeback, so all in 529 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: one game. So congratulations with Daniel Jones on him. I'm 530 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: sure he's surprised a lot of people, me included. UM, 531 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: still a little sulky about Eli, but you know with 532 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: wins that I think I'll get over. So let's let's 533 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: not waste any time. Let's I want to ask you 534 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: some questions and then I'll take the ill take the 535 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: answers off the line, because again I'm at work. Number one, Um, 536 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: what's wrong with Nate Solder? Like? What is this? What 537 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: is this problem? Like it is like I don't know 538 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: what is this? Feeding concrete? Can he not sustain the blog? 539 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: Like the two times two sacks in a row. I 540 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: saw two sacks in a row, one went four fumble 541 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: for a total, you know, and it just seems like 542 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: he could get lost in the saults once he puts 543 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: one hand on the guy and then he he just 544 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: loses him after that. I don't get it, so I'd 545 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: like to. I mean, it's been a it's been a 546 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: trend for me watching him lately lose a lot of 547 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: his lose a lot of his blocking schemes and then 548 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: eventually the person who was supposed to block gets the 549 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: stack has been a trend, even going back to last year. 550 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: It's been a trend. So I'd keep an eye on 551 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: that if I were another giant trends or I probably 552 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: you guys, I keep an eye on that. Uh. Secondly, 553 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: talk about the defense. You know, um our secondary is young, yes, 554 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: but you know Antoine, but say he's he's up there 555 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: in age. I just want to know what exactly our 556 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: plan is going ahead on defense because this can't continue. 557 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: We're not going to continue to win games because not 558 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: everybody is gonna be is against the middle of the 559 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: middle of the pack as far as Tampa Bay is concerned. 560 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: So I want to know what our plan of attack 561 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: is gonna be on defense going forward because we cannot 562 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: keep the same personnel going forward. We just can't because 563 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: we're not gonna win games like that. And then thirdly, 564 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: I've really liked C. J. Anderson as far as going forward. 565 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: In the running game. Of course, Goldman needs to start 566 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: because he's been there, and I'm pretty sure, like you 567 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: guys said, he can carry the lower twenty times a game. 568 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: But as far as balance is concerned, I really like C. J. Anderson. 569 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: He carries the points. You know, he holds onto the 570 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: rocky doesn't fumble, and he moves it. He moves the rock, 571 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: he moves the change. So I really liked him going forward, 572 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: and either him and I'll even throw I'll even throw 573 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: another guy in there, le Garrett Blunt. I know he's old, 574 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, thirty two years old, thirty three years old, 575 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure he can carry the points too. 576 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at who who's out there 577 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: free to see as far as the running backing sound. 578 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: And then you know, bbs, they're concerned to let's look 579 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: at them. You know, Eric Berry still a free agent. 580 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Marshall, the linebacker, Brandon Marshall you're still 581 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: a free agent, so let's look at those guys and 582 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: I'll take your answers off the line. Thank you guys 583 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: a whole lot. All. I appreciate the phone call a 584 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: few things in terms of the free agents that he throughout. 585 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Number one, Brandon Marshall was let go by the Raiders 586 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: because his knee was not one percent, so there's still 587 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: health concerns there. Uh as far as C. J. Anderson 588 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: is concerned, the Lions actually let him go when they 589 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: picked up Paul Perkins. I think Hilleman, who is already 590 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: familiar with this system, can be that power back that 591 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: the caller was touching on. So I don't know. Once again, 592 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: if the first idea is to bring in a veteran 593 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: who would need a week or two to get familiar 594 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: with the scheme, I think C. J. Anderson's a fine recommendation, 595 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: and once again, you should always look at every option. 596 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: But if you're looking for that complimentary back to Wayne Goldman, 597 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: I think Hilleman is somebody that can fill that type 598 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: of a role to perfectly compliment somebody such as Wayne Goldman. 599 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: So I wouldn't be too overly concerned about maybe them 600 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: not having options to turn to currently on the practice 601 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: squad or are on the roster as far as defensive personnel. 602 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: And Eric Berry, by the way, former chief safety, is 603 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: another guy who has an injury history that you need 604 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: to check into. You don't just bring in guys just 605 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: because they happen to be names or familiar to an 606 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: entire NFL fan base. You're not going to revamp an 607 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: entire defensive roster overnight. Okay, let's not be naive. There's 608 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: also a lot of young guys on this roster, and 609 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: what is the purpose of replacing the young guys on 610 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: the roster if the goal is similar to Daniel Jones, 611 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: to get him out there, gain regular season reps so 612 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: that they can improve and get better and better every 613 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: single game. So DeAndre Baker, whether the struggles or not, 614 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: he's got to stay in the game. Julian Love was 615 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: a healthy scratch yesterday, so you know, Love perhaps could 616 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 1: see more time. Corey Ballantine, who hasn't gotten in an 617 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: awful lot of snaps on defense. Those are the guys 618 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: if you're a fan you should be pushing to see 619 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: on the field much more so than to me. John 620 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: bringing in a veteran that is unfamiliar with the system 621 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: and hasn't been with the team. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just 622 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 1: not sure if there's a personnel solution out there right now. 623 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I think once they got 624 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: into the right stuff in the second half of that game, 625 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: I think the defense looked better. Four five, one, three. 626 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Let's go to Lee in Atlanta. He's up next day. 627 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: What's going on, John and Lynn? I'm doing all right? Uh, 628 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: you guys opened up the show great, stole a lot 629 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: of points. I wanted to make a Daniel Jones was 630 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: as expected. We've seen good in the preseason. I trusted 631 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: patting Dave from the very beginning. When they made the pick, 632 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: I was shocked, like everybody, But after, you know, settling down, 633 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: I was like, these guys know what they're doing. He's 634 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: got to be good. The world doubted, but he's shown preseason. 635 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: It's only one game. I'm not gonna get ahead of myself, 636 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: but the kid looks good. He's He's not my major 637 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: concern at this point. It is still the defense. It 638 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: always was the defense. Um. I think the defense played 639 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: better yesterday. I mean, ridged by what I saw from 640 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: Conning Lee. I think Baker played better. There was one play. 641 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: It was a key third day and I can't remember 642 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: when exactly it was. I was watching him the whole game. 643 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: I remember James Betchet said in the interview he has 644 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: to do what he does best, get his confidence back 645 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: and and push up to the line and engage and 646 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: bumped the receiver. And I saw him do that on 647 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: one play and we did get to stop. I only 648 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: watch the game one time so far, but I was 649 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: encouraged by the defense. I really was a pass rush 650 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: dex To Lars got his first sack yesterday. Marcus Golden 651 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: showed up, got two sacks yesterday. But Jenors Jenkins was terrible, 652 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: and especially after what he said following the Bills game, 653 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: throwing the pass rush under the bus, saying you can't 654 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: come with someone, and then he was terrible yesterday. He 655 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: was terrible. It's no excuse for it. I know they 656 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: let him out there, but he's a veteran. We've watched 657 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: him play against good receivers before and be left out 658 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: there and do way better than what he did yesterday. 659 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: Mike Evans had whatever he wanted. I think that if 660 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: ELI has to take a back seat because this team 661 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: has better suited to look kind of towards the future, 662 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: getting young kids some reps. This team matches more what 663 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is now and what Eli is now. I 664 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: think that you could sprinkle in Valentine and Love real 665 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: quick a little bit and let those guys get some 666 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: real quick coach. I'm the building. I don't know the 667 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: real fast, real fast. I'm just telling you, if you 668 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: put Corey Valentine or Julian Love on Mike Evans on 669 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: an eye on the way, did you know where Jenkins 670 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: get killed, they'll get destroyed. Maybe you give them some 671 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: help in that situation, but why not get but but 672 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: why not give Jenkins help? Then? Is my Pam, Because 673 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: Jenkis is your veteran. Jenkis is the guy you paid 674 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: to come in here. Jenkison and has locked up guys 675 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: like Duz Bryant in the past, one on one in 676 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: bigger games than that yesterday, But yesterday he was non existent. 677 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: It was like he wasn't even trying. And maybe he was. 678 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 1: I'm not on the field, but it looked like he 679 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: wasn't trying. The men had ten catches, not ten catches, 680 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: and exaggeration over a hundred and fifty yards and three touchdowns. 681 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: It was like I was out there, so I'm just saying, 682 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: let's see what Corey can do. Let's see what love 683 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: can do. In the same in the same sense that 684 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: we're giving Daniel Jones a shot with a young team. 685 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: We shouldn't know one yesterday, but we did. We we 686 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: got one back, especially the seals goals. We know. Lance 687 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: said that, so exactly what I wanted to say. We've 688 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: been killed so many times with these seals goes. We 689 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: got one back. But I want to see some of 690 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: the young guys going forward, we get their feet wet. 691 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: And my one question, you guys probably won't know anything 692 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: about this, but what's going on with sam Bille? Is 693 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: he really heard? Is he coming back up for IR 694 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: or that just a raster clearance move that they may 695 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: well Sambill was ineligible to even practice until week six, 696 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: so and he can't come off I R till week eight. 697 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: So that's yeah, he's really hurt. They want to put 698 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: him on our if he wasn't hurt. So yes. As 699 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: far as once again, the young guys, which I was 700 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: talking about with respect to the response for the last caller, 701 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: they're evaluating these guys in practice every single day, John 702 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: and I remember, you know, in years past, we get calls, 703 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: why isn't this guy playing right? Why isn't that guy playing? 704 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: And usually the rationale behind why they're not being thrown 705 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: in the early part of the season and maybe it 706 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: takes a little bit time for them to get integrated 707 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: is because sometimes they are not seeing enough in practice. 708 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: They say, hey, this player is ready to go out 709 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: there on an island and be one of the corners 710 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: in there to lock up a star wide receiver. So 711 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: we're not seeing practice as consistently as we weren't training 712 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: camp because the media is restricted, so they're seeing things. 713 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: They're evaluating these players all the time. When you don't 714 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: see a player in I think more often than not, 715 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: that means that there's not enough being showcased in practice 716 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: to give the coaching staff confidence to put them out there. 717 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: You can only dress forty six. The coaching staff is 718 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: not in the business to not dress the best forty six. 719 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: When they make those decisions. Part of it is because 720 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: of injuries. Okay, so sometimes you're forced to keep a 721 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: guy dressed because you're short at one position. But if 722 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: you feel a guy can contribute, especially on the defensive 723 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: side of the ball, where there's been so many big 724 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: plays given up. You know, they're not going to scratch 725 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: a guy simply for the sake of scratching a guy. 726 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: It has to do something with the evaluation process. So 727 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: that's not to say that there's no hope for these 728 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: young guys to get on the field, but I think 729 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: they're moving them along slowly because they still need to 730 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: see things picked up in practice before they're confident in 731 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: giving them regular season wraps. And Julian Loves down outside cornerback, 732 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: he's a slock guy or safety. Grant Haley hasn't been 733 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: a problem, has he. So you're not gonna put Julian 734 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: Love outside where he didn't play much in the preseason 735 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: or off season. So you're talking about Corey Ballentine and guys, look, look, 736 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: you know Josh thinking, is that a rough day. No 737 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: one's won't argue that. He wouldn't argue that, but I'm sorry, 738 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: he's as good as he's been. Corey Ballantin has not 739 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: a better cornerback than Genorg think he's just not just not. 740 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: Now you could argue, and I think you were going 741 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: to get to this point if you see Jenkins struggling, 742 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: do you then look to switch it up John and 743 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: give him some safety help or adjust your approach. Yeah, 744 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's fair. That's a fair takeaway from the game. 745 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: Disagree with anybody for saying, well, you know, why not 746 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: do that. But it's a whole other thing to say, 747 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: take Jenkins out of the game and now put Corey 748 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: Ballantine on Mike Evans that I don't think necessarily is 749 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: the most practical approach to a one nine three nine 750 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: four or five one three. Scott in New Mexico's up next? Hey, Scott, 751 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: what's up? First of all, one of the more exciting games. 752 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: I've watched a lot of Giant games for fifty five years, 753 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: and now that was on the edge of my seat 754 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: type of kind of performance. But the interesting thing, and 755 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be I shouldn't be overlooked. First of all, 756 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones one night game on the road, which is 757 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: difficult to do, though, Scott, I gotta be honest with you. 758 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: I was in that building. It didn't feel like a 759 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: road game. That place, that that that place was Giant 760 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: fans man. It was so bad when he misses the 761 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: potential game winning kick, we had no idea if it 762 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: was good or not because the place was so loud 763 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: you couldn't tell if it was the Buck fans happier 764 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,959 Speaker 1: the Giant fans that were happy. It was wild right, Well, 765 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: in any case, he did win it on the road 766 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: and then secondarily coming back from eighteen point deficits. I 767 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: don't think it had been done in the NFL since 768 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Kit did it, And the last time the Giants did it, 769 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 1: by the way, it was in seventy when they did 770 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: it against the Washington Redskins. Right, So those things shouldn't 771 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: be overlooked. But the interesting thing there were two plays 772 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: in the game. One is an obvious play I thought 773 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: that contributed to the Giants win, and one was not 774 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: so obvious. Wanted to get your opinion on that. And 775 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 1: then I had one more point. But the play, a 776 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: touchdown to Evan Ingram to open up the second half, 777 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: put the Giants back in contention. But then a play 778 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: that wasn't so obvious that the Giants six season on 779 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: was a two point conversion. I think it made the 780 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,760 Speaker 1: score and that allowed them to actually get the victory 781 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: at the end because they went for two after the 782 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: right And so I thought that was actually one of 783 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: the plays that actually made a difference. But my main focus, 784 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: main main question, I'll take it off the air, is 785 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: the defense had some moments. Uh, they look good in 786 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: certain aspects. Obviously, giving up five hundred yards and offense 787 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: is not good. But I'm just wondering if Daniel Jones 788 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: can repeat himself, and I know it's as you lands 789 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: like to say, it's a small sample size. If he 790 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: can do some of the things that he did yesterday 791 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 1: in the games that are coming up, can that help 792 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: the defense and inspiring them to play better because they 793 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: know now that the offense can score. And I was 794 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: just curious what your opinion was on that and how 795 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: much motion comes into play with, you know, the defense 796 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: of characteristics that the Giants are are showing right now. 797 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: And now I'll be god to take your answers off 798 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: the other guys. Thank you, Scott. If we use that logic, 799 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 1: then if there is anybody that is a professional football 800 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: player john and needs to see offensive production to be 801 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: motivated to do their job, then I would say that 802 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: they don't belong in the National Football League, correct, That 803 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: would be my response. So, and I get Scott, he 804 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 1: wants to read into things, and it's fun to talk 805 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: about these things and unravel them in a sports talk format, 806 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: But that I think is completely overthinking things. I don't 807 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: see Daniel Jones telling a guy like Dexter Lawrence I 808 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: need to play harder, or a guy like Oshane Zimmenez 809 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: or Lorenzo Carter. Those guys need to know to play 810 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: hard or else they're not gonna last long in the 811 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 1: National Football League. So, I mean, my simple answer, John 812 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 1: is I don't think the change at quarterback is forcing 813 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: the defense in particular play hard. I think, certainly when 814 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: the offense goes out and makes big plays, it gives 815 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: the defense more. I'm munition to say, hey, let's get 816 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 1: the offense back to football so that they can continue 817 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: to do the thing. And there might be an energy 818 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: and excitement from watching the offense score shore. But no, 819 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a there's an effort level change 820 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: by any means. Big Boo Kick Off Live is brought 821 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: to you by Course Light entered when the ultimate v 822 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,479 Speaker 1: I P game they experience Courtesy of Course Light, text 823 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: v I P to nine oh four six four for 824 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: more details.

But 828 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: the last caller asked something about the emotions of the game. 829 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: And I understand, and you both are right that the 830 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones didn't walk over to the defense and asked 831 00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: them to pick up and do something more. But it 832 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: does bring an energy level to the game to where 833 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: it motivates you. Because when they came out in the 834 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: second half, that passed that he through to um Evans 835 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279 Speaker 1: and they took that all. They took that in and 836 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: then they got the two point conversion. I really believe 837 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: that motive the team. And then if you've noticed the defense, 838 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: they only gave up three points in the second half. 839 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: They played totally difference. Jenkins had a bad game, Yeah, 840 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: but how many catches he gave up in the second half. 841 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: I think Evans only have one? Yeah, Evans just had one. 842 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: But again that that's because they weren't leaving him out 843 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: on an island as much in the second half like 844 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: they were in the first half. They changed the way 845 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: they approached it. Okay, I'll give you that, But the 846 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 1: defense played a lot better in the second half because 847 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: I believe they were motivated. One of the biggest players 848 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: in the game goes back to what lass was the 849 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas no, hold on, hold on the coach Marvin, So, 850 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: why was the defense motivated in the first half when 851 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,280 Speaker 1: when Daniel Jones ran it in for his first touchdown? 852 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 1: Why why didn't that sperm on the play good defense? 853 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: It's not about being motivated it you just said that. 854 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: The energy, it's just you the extra energy. Now you 855 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 1: go into the game and yes, you are energized in 856 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: the game, But as Mike Tyson said, when somebody puts 857 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: you in the face, then your plan kind of go 858 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: down to Perhaps they got pushed in the face. They 859 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: were they were in that game twelve ten and if 860 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: you notice the mistake they gave take next thing. You know, 861 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: you blink your out. You're down eight to ten. John, 862 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: did you know you you knew how you felt when 863 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: they went down to ten. You're down going into that 864 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: locker room. Your motivation is no, no, no, no, Coach Marvin, 865 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: why weren't they motivated when they were only down twelve ten? 866 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying John, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 867 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: Coach Ma you literally just said you're not motivated when 868 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: you're down. Well, how did they get to ten? Because 869 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: I said, John, they were motivated going into the game. 870 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: You always motivated going into the game, even if you're 871 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 1: a big time on the dogs, you're ready to play. 872 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: And then they were down twelve ten they got hit 873 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: in the face. How is being down two points being 874 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: hit in the face. You're down too, John, With this 875 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: particular team, twenty eight the tens has been horrible for them. Mom, 876 00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about twenty I'm talking about twelve to ten. 877 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: It went from twelve to ten to eight to ten. 878 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: Why weren't they motivated at twelve to ten? Don don, 879 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm not to hide yourn with you. I didn't say 880 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: they wasn't motivated when they were down twelve ten. I 881 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: said when they got hit in the stage and the 882 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: turn over started happening, Tampa Bay went up twenty eight 883 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 1: to ten. In the blink of an eye. It happened. 884 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: That's a fact. Go back and look at it. You 885 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,479 Speaker 1: can look at the place how they ran off those 886 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: points and made the twenty eight to ten. But three 887 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: seconds or whatever it was well into that first half. Yes, 888 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: you're down motivational when he was you are down because 889 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: of the eight to ten you were in the game. 890 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: Now you feel like you're out of the game. You 891 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: just lost two games in a row and they were 892 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: playing pretty bad defensively. And then you come out on 893 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: the second half. Okay, you come up in the second half. 894 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: Let's see what we can do in the second half. 895 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: That's we got the ball first, let's did we can 896 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: generate something, but we can get point right off the 897 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: bat the first place. They hit a seven five yard pad, 898 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: not only And I can understand when you say that. 899 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: Another player makes the claims for the quarterback, and that 900 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: is true. He put that ball on the numbers and 901 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 1: cant Ingram never slowed down. He hit that sideline. He 902 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,959 Speaker 1: was destride. That past was not behind him. There wasn't 903 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: a high block up the field. There was a lot 904 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: of things that went right. There was a lot of 905 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: things that went right on that play. What's your overall point, Marvin, 906 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 1: what's that? What's your overall point? Oh? My overall? What 907 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: I was just gowing to is that sometimes in a game, 908 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 1: another person can elevate the game and he did elevate 909 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 1: their game the throws he made. The receivers was making plays. 910 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: He was throwing wh no modena the past he threw 911 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: to Shepherd and the end zone. Look at the distance 912 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: between Shepherds and that line that he threw it in. 913 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: It was like a three step drop, Doon. It's his 914 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: back foot hit the line hit his third step. Bad 915 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: was in the air. Yes, Shepherd made a great place 916 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 1: and he made it a play where this quarterback made 917 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 1: it possible to him not to drop it. I was 918 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: just watch the NFL network just a second ago, and 919 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: they made a great statement. This tomb was playing with 920 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: some guys he didn't play with in the preseason and 921 00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: he was hitting among the numbers. Sure, no one's are 922 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: you and Daniel Jones? Yeah he did. No one saying 923 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,359 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones didn't play a great game. He absolutely did, right, 924 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: But no, you didn't say that. I know that. But 925 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is he did bring some energy to 926 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: that team, and you do. And it's not maybe we 927 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: don't know what the term is is it makes some 928 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,640 Speaker 1: warm motivated. We don't know what the terms. It's like 929 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 1: saying what is it? I don't know what it is? 930 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 1: But when you've seen it, you know what that is different. 931 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 1: And that's the same thing when you don't know how 932 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: energy a person is. They have their football players and 933 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: they've done this for their lives, and they should be motivated. 934 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you now, guys are not always motivated 935 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: to play. Sometimes it takes a speech in that locker 936 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: room to get them going. Sometimes it takes another player 937 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: to step up and say something to get them going. 938 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes they come on and they already to play. He 939 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 1: did bring them to another level. Can you carry it over? 940 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's week to week. Maybe you can't. 941 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: But he's definitely made that defense play better yesterday because 942 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: they felt if we stopped. Well, listen, coach mart you're 943 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: entitled to your opinion. I don't disagree with it, but 944 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,760 Speaker 1: to thank finally and appreciate the call to say definitively 945 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones got that defense to play better. You're 946 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: now turning that into a factual stage, which you can't prove. Okay, 947 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: So that's so Daniel just wasn't in there. How many 948 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: yards of offense they've given up seven hundred? Well, and also, 949 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean there were there were instances where Eli, Manning 950 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,560 Speaker 1: and the Giants offense made it a game against Buffalo 951 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: John Does that not motivate the defense to go out 952 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: and make a stop. And then the defense gave up 953 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: a thirteen play seventy five yard drive to make teen 954 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: This was in the second half of a game a 955 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: week ago. How many games last year did Manning give 956 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: them a lead in the fourth quarter for the defense 957 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: only to give it back again. Yeah, I just I 958 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: don't buy the fact that the quarterback alone got the 959 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: defense to play better. I agree. Does the guy like 960 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: Jones give a team a spark? Absolutely, but he gave 961 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: when the hell was the spark in the first half. 962 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: Then when they gave up twenty eight points, let the 963 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: book score in all six possessions, which is extremely valid point. 964 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: But he also gave the offense a spark, which is 965 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,799 Speaker 1: most important because that's the side of the ball he 966 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 1: plays on. And the guys made plays room and the 967 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,800 Speaker 1: level of execution was very consistent that I wouldn't disagree 968 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: with anybody, but to say that Daniel Jones arrives under 969 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: center and then all of a sudden, Grant Hanley says 970 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: to himself, boy, Eli is not under center anymore. I 971 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: better really get that much more motivated. Just once again, 972 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't agree with that logic. He's entitled his opinion, 973 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 1: but don't make a declarative statement that that was the case, 974 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: which was the last statement that he made that said 975 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: it definitely got the defense to play better. That I 976 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: wouldn't agree with because there's no evidence to necessarily support that. Well, yeah, 977 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: and again, if it started from the beginning of the game, 978 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: it was a consistent thing throughout the game. Maybe I 979 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: feel like you have a strong argument in that regard. 980 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: But the fact that the first half was an epic 981 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: disaster defensive ways, I mean it was an epic disaster. 982 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 1: They give up three hunts almost three ds of offense 983 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: in the first half. I mean not good, just not good. 984 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: Jig ms Winston, who's turnover prone? I mean it looked 985 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: like he was the most comfortable quarterback in the NFL 986 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: Big Book.

People 995 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 1: that aren't listening to the podcasts are missing out there. 996 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: Phil Simms podcast, the one with Belichick around the Super Bowl. 997 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they're unbelievable. Everyone should be listening to those. 998 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 1: I just want to throw that up, by the way, 999 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: that's the Giants Huddle podcast. By the way, you can 1000 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: go find it on your favorite podcast platforms. And it 1001 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 1: really is. They're really amazing. Um. I just want to 1002 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: step back for a second, you guys. I mean it's 1003 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: it's tremendous. I just think that, look, you don't you 1004 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,359 Speaker 1: don't give away a season. I think the concerns about 1005 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,120 Speaker 1: the defense that we could talk all day, I think 1006 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: they're legitimate. Um, I think they you know they're gonna 1007 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,479 Speaker 1: need You know, there's no there's no personnel. You guys 1008 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: are smart enough. There's no personnel changes here. This is 1009 00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 1: about trying to get the best out of the personnel 1010 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,279 Speaker 1: we have. UM And I think you know that that's 1011 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 1: that's the reality there. I just think that we just 1012 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 1: gotta step back and say, hey, I'm I'm a crazy 1013 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: giant fan and and I wished the best for Daniel Jones, 1014 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: and and he went out and performed at a whole 1015 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 1: other level. And I'm not saying that, you know, he's 1016 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: not going to be be naive to think that he's 1017 00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,400 Speaker 1: not going to run into tough times. All those things. 1018 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 1: I totally agree. But the single biggest question once they 1019 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: made the pick. I wasn't a huge fan of the pick, 1020 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: so I, you know, I don't think a lot of 1021 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,440 Speaker 1: people were. I was surprised by the pick. I was 1022 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,319 Speaker 1: somewhat disappointed by the pick, but I was wrong. But 1023 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: once they made that pick, the single biggest issue was 1024 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,479 Speaker 1: did we you know, with a with a number six 1025 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: pick in the draft, do we have ourselves a quarterback 1026 00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,719 Speaker 1: that we can build around for the future. That that's 1027 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 1: the whole question going into this season. Doesn't mean we 1028 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 1: give away this season like we're not. We're not. I'm 1029 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,719 Speaker 1: not saying that. Therefore, who cares about the results of 1030 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 1: No, no no, no, The coaches aren't going to give away 1031 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 1: the season. We shouldn't give away the season. We should 1032 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: fight as much as we can. But but to watch 1033 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: him go out there yesterday with his command, with his 1034 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: presence and and have the the the the challenges that 1035 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: he had that he overcame all the way through the 1036 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: game down to a three minute drive to to win 1037 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, you couldn't ask for a better test, 1038 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: and a and a and a better result. And and 1039 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,280 Speaker 1: that's the biggest issue going into the rest of the season. 1040 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,439 Speaker 1: So I said, and I think the energy you're hearing 1041 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: from fans is because people recognize that, you know, they 1042 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,600 Speaker 1: see that, hey, this kid, he's He's a big reason 1043 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: that a lot of Giant fans are going to turn 1044 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 1: on the game next week to watch the game. And 1045 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, so it's a reason for the first twenty 1046 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 1: minutes of the show we just talked about Daniel Jones 1047 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 1: and didn't even mention how the game endedn't one and 1048 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: who lost. We literally just twenty minutes on the quarterback 1049 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: because you're right, look this all offseason we talked about it, right, 1050 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: the most important thing Dave Gentleman was going to do 1051 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: was find the team's next franchise quarterback. Are we positive 1052 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: that he's the guy? Yet? I don't think after one 1053 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: game you can be positive anything in this world. But 1054 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: do you feel much better about it today than you 1055 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: did on Friday? So freaking lutely, there's no ways, there's 1056 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: no way John to not think that. And it's not 1057 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: because of just the results. I mean, it was great 1058 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: that they that they won on top of him having 1059 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 1: such a you know, an influential game, it's the building blocks. 1060 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,719 Speaker 1: It's looking at the tape, watching the game again and 1061 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: seeing him throw under pressure, seeing him being accurate, he's 1062 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 1: legitimately fast. Is the first time he ran for a 1063 00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: first down? You know. I looked at the people I 1064 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 1: was watching the game with and we all gassed because 1065 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,319 Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, he turned it on around that 1066 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: corner and ran for a first down. And that's something 1067 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: we've never seen. And I'm not comparing him to Eli. 1068 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: It's not fair because if David Jones can win US 1069 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 1: two super Bowls, I'd sign up right now. It's not 1070 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: a comparison to that. It's just the fact that he 1071 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: has that as part of his game. I don't think 1072 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna see people play man defense against us in 1073 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: the red zone after what he did, you know against Tampa. Well, 1074 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: you can Dave, Dave, you can Dave you can play man. 1075 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,760 Speaker 1: You can play man, but you almost have to dedicate 1076 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: one of your linebackers to not allow Jones to do 1077 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,160 Speaker 1: what he did, which does limit what a defense can do, 1078 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 1: you right, It opens up a whole different a whole 1079 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 1: different challenges for defenses in terms of when you can 1080 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: play man on third down to not even just in 1081 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: the red zone. If it's a third and five, it's 1082 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 1: a lot harder to play man if the quarterback can 1083 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 1: then go and run for those five yards. So it 1084 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,280 Speaker 1: it definitely puts a little bit more pressure on that defense. 1085 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: And like we said the start of the show, Jones 1086 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,879 Speaker 1: did some things in this game that Eli Manning could 1087 00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: not have done simply based on his physical limitations. It's 1088 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 1: it's just the way it is. Yeah, And I'll just 1089 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: leave you guys with this. I think the fact of 1090 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:06,200 Speaker 1: the matter is, you know whatever you know, the media, 1091 00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:11,440 Speaker 1: everyone else. I mean, it's you know, Gettleman and Schermer, Mara, 1092 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 1: the organization. You guys are fully aware of it. You 1093 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: guys have a balanced beam of of of being honest 1094 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: and good analysts, which you are, but also understanding the 1095 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: behind the scenes and the reality is he's showing that 1096 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: this was a worthwhile, you know, a worthwhile pick to 1097 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,360 Speaker 1: build upon. It doesn't mean that that things aren't gonna 1098 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 1: you know, he's not gonna have his challenges. I mean, 1099 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating that the next couple of weeks 1100 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:43,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to perform without Barkley. It's another form 1101 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,920 Speaker 1: of let you guys go with that. I really appreciate 1102 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: your listening to appreciate Thank you, Dave. Dave's one of 1103 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 1: our favorite calls. It's another form of adversity, which is 1104 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. So, you know, you take 1105 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 1: away a key personnel and then you see how the 1106 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 1: quarterback reacts when he doesn't have the luxury of one 1107 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,920 Speaker 1: of the US running backs in the NFL. Ideally it's 1108 00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: not in the second NFL start. But no, you don't 1109 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: want to immediately throw him into it. But I think 1110 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: it's a part of the evaluation products and absolutely and 1111 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: not to go off on a tangent and rehash all 1112 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,319 Speaker 1: the conversations we had through the drag. I'm not but 1113 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 1: but one of the things I understand that, but just 1114 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: one of the things that I didn't want to piggyback off. 1115 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 1: Well we've gone later anyway, multiple times, I'm not tour 1116 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,560 Speaker 1: it and you can afford to spare an extra five 1117 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: minutes to listen to me. I already took care of 1118 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,359 Speaker 1: that is a little bit behind and has to make 1119 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 1: sure they prioritize matters a little bit different. During the 1120 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: course of the day, I was busy running my three 1121 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 1: and a half page game report and doing it film 1122 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: room with Michael Thomas's and some people can balance, some can't. 1123 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,040 Speaker 1: That's how you evaluate it. Se Some people have a 1124 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,720 Speaker 1: lot of stuff to other people. Don't get me started 1125 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 1: on what's on my play. But anyway, getting back to 1126 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: the point, the giants made this pick because what they 1127 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 1: saw on film and the homework they did made them 1128 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: content that they were making the right selection. And that's 1129 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: big part of the conversation. This is not about whether 1130 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: Joe Schmo across the street thought he was a good quarterback, 1131 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 1: your mailman you're three down the door, neighbor, it doesn't matter, 1132 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 1: or mel Kiper for that matter, exactly. And I threw 1133 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: in the mailman just for you to pick up on that, 1134 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: so I'm glad you did. It was about the giants 1135 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 1: doing their homework and feeling good and when you feel 1136 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: good about a player as long as in the room 1137 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: we talk about there's conviction, which is the key operating 1138 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 1: term you make the pick, and that's exactly what they did. 1139 00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,360 Speaker 1: It's a small sample size, but certainly the early results 1140 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: are extremely encouraging to a one, nine, four or five 1141 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 1: on three. Let's start rip it through our remaining callers. 1142 00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: Pete and Stown Island is up next, they Pete heyns Um, Okay, 1143 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 1: A couple of things, Um. First off, I went into 1144 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: this whole thing probably with a different mindset, you know, 1145 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,239 Speaker 1: than most guys. And the reason I'm saying that is 1146 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 1: what I wanted to see out of Jones, with his 1147 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: signs that he could possibly be up future franchise quarterbacks. Okay, 1148 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:14,399 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna anoint him, um, you know, one game, 1149 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it can all right. And now I 1150 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: picked up on a couple of things positively and a 1151 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: couple of things negatively. All right. The positive things that 1152 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,800 Speaker 1: I saw were his poise. He showed poise in the pocket. 1153 00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, it seemed to me that 1154 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 1: he took pretty good control of the huddle, uh and 1155 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:45,760 Speaker 1: the team. Number three, Um, I think he he scrambled, 1156 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: but always was his number one priority was looking at 1157 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: field first as opposed to running UM. So I took 1158 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: those three things in, and believe me, there's a lot 1159 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,399 Speaker 1: more on the other side and the downside, And it's 1160 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: really not the downside because I think he's gonna certainly 1161 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: learn by it is um his pocket presence, being aware 1162 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 1: of the rush UM. And I think that being aware 1163 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 1: of the rush of his pocket presence was a little 1164 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 1: bit limited there. Okay, He's got to be able to 1165 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 1: pick that up, and I think he will in time. Well, 1166 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,800 Speaker 1: it's funny, there are there are a couple of plays 1167 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 1: where he was really good seeing the rush and moving 1168 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: up in the pocket and creating time, and there are 1169 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: other players where he held the ball too long and 1170 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: the rush got there. So I think you saw some 1171 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: positive and negative in that respect over the course of 1172 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,399 Speaker 1: the game, oh without question. And and the other thing 1173 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 1: in the positive event is accuracy was very good. Okay. 1174 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: But getting back to the other side, I think that 1175 00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:53,520 Speaker 1: when he learns that pocket presence and the the rush 1176 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 1: coming at him where maybe he can see you know, 1177 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,919 Speaker 1: periphical vision or whatever and feel it, I think that's 1178 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: going to increase his scrambling ability and decrease the sacks 1179 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: in that case. So I think there's a kind of 1180 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,960 Speaker 1: a positive aspect you could take out of that. And 1181 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:15,160 Speaker 1: I think over time, certainly over time, Uh, he is 1182 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: going to hopefully progress. And I'm not ready to anoint 1183 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: them yet. And I don't think any fans can off 1184 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: of one game just you just can't do it because 1185 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: I expect, you know, he's a rookie and you know 1186 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,480 Speaker 1: what he's gonna he's gonna, you know, take his lumps 1187 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 1: and he's gonna do it because there's only been a 1188 00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 1: few rookies you can name on your fingers, Marino, Mahomes 1189 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:41,280 Speaker 1: even you know, from the current crop, but you can 1190 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: name old famers who took a beat in their first year. 1191 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 1: Eight Mint even got best. Uh, you know, Elway was terrible. 1192 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 1: And I think so, you know, there's gonna be some 1193 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: downside here, you know, and hopefully not a lot of it, 1194 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: but you know, all of the first game so far, 1195 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 1: I like what I see with a couple of you know, 1196 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: downside things that can be fixed. Thank you, Hey, thanks 1197 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,120 Speaker 1: for calling. Hi, Pete. Good points. Let's go next, caller, 1198 00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:14,960 Speaker 1: Derek and Dallas. He's up next. Day, Derek, he what's up? Hey? Uh? 1199 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:18,439 Speaker 1: Coming on Daniel Jones. I am so glad that I 1200 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 1: was so wrong about them grabbing him number six. Overall, 1201 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: I was a big doubt or to begin with, but 1202 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: after what he showed yesterday, it's just fantastic. He's a 1203 00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,479 Speaker 1: healthy dough exactly what the Giants and Derek, Derek, here's 1204 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 1: the thing, And I made this point over the summer. 1205 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: I think everyone was surprised he was picked at six, 1206 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,080 Speaker 1: and that's fine. But I think everyone when they have 1207 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: their opinions around draft time, and we have all our opinions, 1208 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: you have our takes, I think it's important for everybody 1209 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 1: to be a little bit humble when they have their 1210 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: takes and their opinions, because as much work as I 1211 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 1: can do, or Lance can do, or Paul can do, 1212 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 1: or you guys can do, or even a milk Keiper 1213 00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 1: can do, you're never gonna have as much information as 1214 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: the teams do, and they're always going to know a 1215 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: little bit more. So you can express your opinion that 1216 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 1: you don't like to pick and you think they made 1217 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: a mistake, but I always like to think, look, you 1218 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: gotta let the thing play out on the field. Before 1219 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: you can definitely say something was good or something was bad, 1220 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 1: which is why those graft day, those draft day grades 1221 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: on these you know picks are just so silly because 1222 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 1: you have to actually let to see the thing playoff 1223 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: for us. Well, it's the instantaneous gratification of society. That's 1224 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: what it's a product of. But go ahead there, Yeah, absolutely, 1225 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,920 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna doubt getlemen again. Um and uh. 1226 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: I mean what Daniel Jones has is, uh, he creates 1227 00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:36,200 Speaker 1: opportunity you know where we didn't have opportunity before with Eli. 1228 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 1: And you know football is about having opportunities and capitalizing 1229 00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 1: on them. And Daniel Jones gives more opportunities on the 1230 00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: field by which his legs being able to extend plays 1231 00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 1: give receivers more time to get open. And uh been 1232 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 1: very accurate. I think that is uh how he played 1233 00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:01,240 Speaker 1: is even better than how his numbers show. Um uh uh. 1234 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,240 Speaker 1: And I mean that that's probably what makes Sa Kwon 1235 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Barkley so great using the opportunity creator. He doesn't just 1236 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: take what's there. He's able to open things up that 1237 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 1: other running backs might not be able to get to. 1238 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 1: So I think having him and say Kwan uh in 1239 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: the backfield. It's going to be uh fantastic whenever that 1240 01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 1: does happen, I guess in here in the next four 1241 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,000 Speaker 1: to six weeks. Um, I hope Wayne Gallman is able 1242 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,640 Speaker 1: to U show up on he He's played well thus 1243 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 1: far for the most part. Um Uh. But how do 1244 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: you think Redskins are going to handle defensively the Giants 1245 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,360 Speaker 1: without having say Kwan Barkley in the backfield. And I'll 1246 01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: take your answer off the here. No, I think it's 1247 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 1: a good point. I think it'll make things more difficult 1248 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: on Jones because they won't be Look, it was clear 1249 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,760 Speaker 1: early in this game that the Bucks were not gonna 1250 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 1: let Sa Kwan Barkley beat him the extra guys in 1251 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: the bod store blitz and safety and he eight rushes 1252 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 1: for ten yards for goodness six that's not you're not 1253 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,000 Speaker 1: gonna line up that way. To all due respect, he's 1254 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 1: a good back, but you're not gonna line up to 1255 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: stop win Goleman the way you line up to stop 1256 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: see Kwon Barkley. It absolutely changes things. Just like when 1257 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 1: Zeke wouldn't be in the lineup for the Cowboys, it 1258 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: would change things if they had Tony Pollard because you 1259 01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,160 Speaker 1: want to test out the younger back. And credit to 1260 01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 1: the Bucks, they did an outstanding job stopping Christian McCaffrey 1261 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 1: the previous week, so I'm sure they had a lot 1262 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 1: of confidence saying, hey, if we could contain McCaffrey, we 1263 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 1: could do the same thing for Barkley. I think most 1264 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 1: defenses are going to continue to have a similar philosophy 1265 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,320 Speaker 1: to Tampa Bay. Let Daniel Jones beat us, and if 1266 01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 1: he does, we tip our cap. If he doesn't, then 1267 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be as a result of us taking 1268 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 1: away his other options. So they're gonna probably look to 1269 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: get some double coverage towards Evan Ingram. They're gonna focus 1270 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 1: on Sterling Shepherd when Golden Tate comes back, and until 1271 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: Barkley comes back, Jones is then gonna have to lean 1272 01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: on other guys who are maybe complimentary pieces to help 1273 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,400 Speaker 1: him out and make plays. One other thing I wanted 1274 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 1: to throw out before we quickly get back to the 1275 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: last caller about Daniel Jones pocket present is keep in 1276 01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 1: mind most of the sacks that piled up last season 1277 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: were against mobile quarterbacks. Mobile quarterbacks actually tend to take 1278 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: more sacks than the guys who don't run. Oftentimes, sacks 1279 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 1: is as much of a product of the quarterback as 1280 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,480 Speaker 1: it is the offense. And I look at the Shawn Watson, 1281 01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he still get more than anyone else. I 1282 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 1: was going to bring that up last year, sixty two 1283 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 1: sacks the Texans gave up. That's DeShawn Watson and Prescott 1284 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 1: fifty six and this year it hasn't changed, by the way, 1285 01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,400 Speaker 1: despite the fact they traded every draft pick in their 1286 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,400 Speaker 1: arsenal for Tons Well, because Lara met tonsl alone is 1287 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 1: not going to make up for a questionable offensive line 1288 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the way. He's only one guy, only 1289 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,720 Speaker 1: one guy. They think that tons of could play all 1290 01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 1: five positions simultaneously. That would be a hell of an accomplishment. 1291 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 1: Final call you already, Yes? Final call the show. Let's 1292 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 1: get it, Okay. I'm keeping you from yes, Jeff, and 1293 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:53,440 Speaker 1: Huntington is up next, Jeff, what's up? Wrap us up? Um? 1294 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: The just a segue off the last callers call. Regarding 1295 01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,439 Speaker 1: the running game moving forward, what I saw from the game, 1296 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: and I was as excited as everybody else to see 1297 01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: what happened and whatnot. But my concern is moving forward 1298 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,520 Speaker 1: about the running game, and it's not a matter of 1299 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: the running backs. Right now. I'm looking at the line 1300 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 1: and I've always been concerned about John Hallapeo in terms 1301 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: of how he can push, you know, forward, because it 1302 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:21,360 Speaker 1: seemed like during the game that he was always getting 1303 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 1: pushed back. He was pretty decent on on past protection. 1304 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: But my my concern was whether he was working in tandem, uh, 1305 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: with his guard or whether it was by himself. But 1306 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 1: it seemed like he was having a lot of difficulty 1307 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: uh learning. Yeah, And I understood that they were packing 1308 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,920 Speaker 1: the box there and those was how do you overcome 1309 01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:52,960 Speaker 1: that because somebody's going to be doing that next week too, 1310 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,720 Speaker 1: I would think no, but don the consue and Vitave 1311 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,439 Speaker 1: and every team. Now, now the Redskins have a good 1312 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 1: defensive tackle pair two with around Payne. I'm not as 1313 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Johnathan Allens the hurd still banking they played tonight, and 1314 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,800 Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen with the Redskins moving forward, 1315 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 1: but look, they do have two good defensive tackles. And 1316 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,120 Speaker 1: you hope the Giants are better, but look, the Giants 1317 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,440 Speaker 1: ran for amost seven yards to carry the first two weeks. 1318 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,400 Speaker 1: The Bucks just have to have a really good run defense. 1319 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Opponents matter. I know people think if you're good at something, 1320 01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,120 Speaker 1: you just go and you do it and the opponent 1321 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The opponent matters, and the Bucks it was. 1322 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,160 Speaker 1: It's no mistake in mystery that they were one of 1323 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: the best run defenses in the league. They held Christian McCaffrey, 1324 01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: who is right on the same level as Barkley, maybe 1325 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 1: a run below. He was for thirty seven yards on 1326 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: like fifteen carries the week before. They're good at what 1327 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: they do, Jeff, And that's gonna happen. Sometimes you're not 1328 01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna run it for five yards of care every week. 1329 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:46,000 Speaker 1: It happens to everybody. Okay, I'm hoping going forward that 1330 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: we'll see some balance there. Uh, it's just that you know, 1331 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,840 Speaker 1: there are quote unquote to number one centers and I'm 1332 01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,160 Speaker 1: just wondering how they're going to evaluate his work going forward. Well, 1333 01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,480 Speaker 1: they do have Spencer, they can appreciate the phone call, 1334 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,800 Speaker 1: but I think they look at Halapio, who has a 1335 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 1: bigger frame, and there's a reason why he won the 1336 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: starting job because what they evaluated during camp and practice. 1337 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Can things change, absolutely, but I don't think after watching 1338 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: these three games there really is a conversation going on 1339 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,480 Speaker 1: that they're gonna make a change its center. I think 1340 01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,480 Speaker 1: that's purely speculative. I think the personnel on the opposite 1341 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:21,960 Speaker 1: side makes a big difference. As we hammered home, and 1342 01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,680 Speaker 1: you're going to get matchups where you have very good 1343 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,720 Speaker 1: defensive tackles John in particular in Tampa Bay that is 1344 01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: not just good at stopping the run, but is great 1345 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 1: at collapsing the pocket. Not to take anything away from 1346 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: Shack Barrett, but there's a reason why Shaq Barrett has 1347 01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: eight sacks because what Vida Vella and and Dominican s 1348 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,920 Speaker 1: Wue do for Barrett is they take so much pressure 1349 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 1: on the interior that you cannot double Shack Barrett off 1350 01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 1: the edge John, so he gets a lot of one 1351 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 1: on one matchup and the quarterback can't step up in 1352 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: the pocket correct so they're helping the pocket close. Barrett 1353 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 1: beats the guy off the edge. The quarterbacks basically right 1354 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 1: into his lap. Whereas other teams who don't have a 1355 01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: strong presence on the interior and don't collapse the pocket 1356 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 1: and stop the run is effectively they can't afford to 1357 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,440 Speaker 1: then focus on the edge rushers. It completely changes the 1358 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,320 Speaker 1: dynamics of Tampa Bay's defense because of those two big 1359 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:11,880 Speaker 1: boys inside. When the Giants go up against the team 1360 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't have those two big boys, then you don't 1361 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,080 Speaker 1: have the same luxury. It's a game of chess. I mean, 1362 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 1: I know it's stating somewhat of the obvious, but you 1363 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 1: have to take it to consideration the personnel on the 1364 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,240 Speaker 1: opposite side.
