1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. Let's go, Let's go, 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Let's go, Giants do. Get out on the Giants Bubble, 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: Give me some Joms. Part of the Giants podcast. Met 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Will Let's Roll. 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Giants Huddle Podcast, brought to you by Citizens, 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 2: the official bank of the New York Giants. It's Giants 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Huddle Rapid Reaction. In Week eight, on Monday Night Football, 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: the Giants went out to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: Twenty six eighteen was the final score. A money if 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: I tell you, the Giants have the ball back two 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: minutes to play at their seven. They got to go 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: ninety three yards to score. But they are in a 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: one possession game with the Steelers on Monday Night Football. 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: That's a pretty good situation to be in. 15 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: Absolutely, after the showing that the Giants had versus the 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: Eagles last week, you gotta look at this as an 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 3: improvement and also in the same vein you got to 18 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: look at it as a missed opportunity. Giants had way 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: too many penalties. Their two point play was. There was 20 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: a lot to be desired from that, to say the least. 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 3: And the Malik neighbors not getting set taking a touchdown. 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: Off the board. 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 3: It's it's like, when you want to start winning, you 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 3: have to stop beating yourself. And the Giants beat themselves 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 3: tonight in many different ways. And that's really the story 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: of the game for me. It's like the penalties, the interceptions, 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: the fumbles, all that stuff, the punt return touchdown, those 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: are the types of things that are indict that are 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 3: indicative of the losses. But they kept fighting and they 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 3: fought back to get it. With all those things that happened, 31 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 3: they had an opportunity at the end of the game 32 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 3: to win, and they were in shooting distance of scoring 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: the tying touchdown with the two point conversion. 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean, you know, they're driving down the field, 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: they're gaining yardage, they're moving the ball pretty well. The 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: rookie tied in THEO Johnson's getting involved, they're playing the boundaries, 37 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: they're working the clock. There's about twenty one seconds left 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: to go, and Daniel Jones just unfortunately presses a little bit, 39 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: throws an interception. Beanie Bishop comes up with it at 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: the thirty four and that's all curtains. But you mentioned 41 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that happened earlier in the 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: game that put the Giants in this position to need 43 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: that drive to have to be in that position. I mean, 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: this game was tied at nine at the half. The 45 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: first half of this game was all field goals. You 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: saw a lot of strong stands in the red zone. 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: You saw a lot of touchdowns that were called back 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: for not being touchdowns on both sides of the ball, 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: but including that one that you mentioned. Chris Manhertz gets 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: in the end zone, you think, oh my gosh, that's incredible, 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: but then there's a flag on the field for illegal motion. 52 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 2: Malik neighbors in motion but doesn't get fully established on 53 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage before getting into motion. And apparently 54 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: you have to fully set before starting your motion as 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: a receiver. 56 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's a function of when you're a receiver, 57 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: you want to get out to line and line up 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: as quickly as possible, so you don't want to hurry 59 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: the operation and hurry the quarterback. You want the quarterback 60 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: to have all the time he needs to send you 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: in motion, survey the defense. And when you're out there lately, 62 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: I don't want to say lazily, but when you don't 63 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: get up there as quickly as you should. It speeds 64 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: up the operation for everybody, and in the quarterback has 65 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: so much to think about. He can't think about he 66 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 3: can't look at you and make you get set. That's 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: something that the receiver has to do on his. 68 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: Own, absolutely, and the receiver, you know, going out there, 69 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: it looked like he attempted to get set, but did 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: more of a stutterstep than an absolute, clear and unwavering 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: here's my spot before he began his motion, and that 72 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: was enough for the officials to throw their flags. 73 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: You're ready for a change. Pay Day comes early with citizens, 74 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: So go to that retreat. Knew you move to the country. 75 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: Now you're raising goats and launching a lifestyle brand. Are 76 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: you ready for all that life brings? 77 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: There was a lot of flags on the field tonight. 78 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: The Giants had eleven penalties for sixty five yards, the 79 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: Steelers five penalties for fifty yards. One of the other 80 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: moments though, that I thought, you know, speaking of touchdowns 81 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: called back, there was one the Steelers had that was 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: called back. That was a pretty great play for the Giants. 83 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: You know. It was Pickens, I believe, who got the 84 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: ball in the end zone. It looked like he got 85 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: his feet down, Tay Banks was a little bit off coverage, 86 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: just bolted to get to him press him out of bounds. 87 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: Originally they thought it was a touchdown, but then in 88 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: the replay it showed that his right foot tapped and 89 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: it almost was like he hopped. His right foot tapped twice, 90 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: his left foot never touched the ground. So by rule, 91 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: you need both feet down, not one foot down twice, 92 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: and it was not a touchdown. That was a pretty 93 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: interesting play. You learned something on that one too. 94 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: You definitely learned something, and you know, every time you 95 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: watch the game, I thought, if one if you hit 96 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: one foot in twice, that would be the same thing. 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: But obviously that's not the case. And it was a 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 3: lot of huss on the defense. But I thought that 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: Tay Banks had an opportunity in that play to not 100 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: only push him out, but to actually go for the 101 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: ball and knock the ball out because Pickens left the 102 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: ball out exposed to the defense. But the defense of 103 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: players never took advantage of it, never tried to really 104 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: poke that ball out, which at the end of the day, 105 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: they got him out of bounds. He wasn't able to 106 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: put a second foot down but it just they could 107 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: have removed all doubt and poked at the ball and there. 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: You know, there were struggles in the secondary today. There's 109 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: an injury depleted secondary. Of course, dor Jackson, Cordell Flott 110 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: not in this game. You know, they were moving Drew 111 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: Phillips out to the boundary. At one point they took 112 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Tay Banks out of the game and put Greg Stroman 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: in there to change up the looks a bit because 114 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: in the second half, as we mentioned, things got a 115 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: little bit out of control. The Steelers. You know, Russell 116 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: Wilson especially started binding his receivers down the field a 117 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: little bit more. 118 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, Russell Wilson really got comfortable in one of the 119 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: things that he's good at is throwing the deep ball. 120 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: He had a really nice one to Pickens where he 121 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: just dropped it right in the right in a spot 122 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: where the defense couldn't get it, and Pickens had a 123 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: great play on the ball. But you know, their coverage 124 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: was there. But honestly, that is not good enough. They 125 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: need to be able to start making some of these plays, 126 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 3: taking some of those balls away. And our secondary is 127 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: still young and they don't. They're not as a ball 128 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: hawkish and as we need them. 129 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: To be offensively, though, you look at this again, twenty 130 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: six to eighteen the final score Miny Night Football. This 131 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: is against the Steelers defense that allows an average fourteen 132 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: and a half points per game, the second fewest in 133 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 2: the NFL. The Giants were able to put some points 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: on the board. They got the run game going, especially 135 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 2: led by Tyrone Tracy one hundred and forty five yards 136 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: rushing and a touchdown, including a forty five yard touchdown, 137 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: seven point three yard average right there for the end. 138 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: This is the second time this season that he's had 139 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: over seven yards per carry at the end of a 140 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: game with a high volume. The way that he runs 141 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: the ball and the way that he's able to get 142 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: yards after contact is something that's very impressive for this 143 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: rookie running back. 144 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he runs with a desire that is evident. You know, 145 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: you don't have to hear what he says when you 146 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: see him running. You know he wants the ball and 147 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: he deserves it because he's a difference maker out there, 148 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: and there's very few players in this league that are 149 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: difference makers, and Tyrone Tracy for those short amount of 150 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: time that he's gotten to play, he has proven that 151 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: he deserves to be on the team. He deserves to 152 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 3: be the number one running back, and he's taking full 153 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: advantage of it. And you'd like to see young players 154 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 3: taking advantage of their opportunities. 155 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: He's not the only offensive player that surpassed one hundred 156 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 2: yards Sterarius Slayton as well for receptions one hundred and 157 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: eight yards forty three yard long. We saw him and 158 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones connecting on some big catches, and you know, 159 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: the moments in which DJ is so decisive and pushes 160 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: the ball downfield can be pretty magical, especially watching the 161 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: way these two can connect. 162 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a trust that between those two. 163 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: I think he knows that if Daniel Jones knows that 164 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: when he throws a ball up to Slayton, it's either 165 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: going to be a catch or an incompletion, he's not 166 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: going to turn the ball over. He's gonna do what 167 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: he can to protect Daniel's throws. And there's just a 168 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: comfort there that is evident, and I don't think Malik 169 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: has earned that yet. With Daniel Jones on the deep balls, 170 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: intermediate balls, he really likes him. He had thirteen targets tonight, 171 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: which is a lot of targets, but I think maybe 172 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: you need to start spreading that a little bit around 173 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 3: because Darius Slayton is the way it is the second 174 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 3: hundred yard game, and you know, the big plays are 175 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: something that this offense is needed, and you've got to 176 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: go to your big play receiver, which at this point 177 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: in time, maybe not in the future, but at this 178 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: point in time, the big play receiver for the Giants 179 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 3: is Darius Slayton. 180 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, Daniel Jones getting some yardage two 181 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four yards on the day, no touchdowns 182 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: and interception, but of course that came on that last 183 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: drive of the game. As we talked about it, such 184 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: as you're pushing down the field. Daniel Jones was under 185 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: a lot of pressure today though to the Steelers defense, 186 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: nothing to scoff. At the moments that TJ. Watt was, 187 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: you know, not double covered. He was really putting pressure 188 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 2: in there. He got two sacks on Daniel Jones, and uh, 189 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: you know the pressure that the Giants are facing in 190 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: that situation when you've got Andrew Thomas out, they're trying 191 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: to figure out what to do at left tackle. Over there, 192 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 2: you've got Jermaine aluminor on the right side. They're putting 193 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: in singletaryan situations or tied end situations to kind of 194 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: chip block, but sometimes it seems like it's not working 195 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: as well as others for this. 196 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, when when I watched some of these guys blocking, 197 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: I feel like they're blocking in a walkthrough, Like they're 198 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: not aggressively trying to maul the defensive linemen. They're just 199 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: trying to It's almost like they're playing basketball and not 200 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 3: trying to really maul these guys. And that to me is, 201 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: you know, you're not physically imposing yourself on often smaller 202 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: defensive players. You're just kind of like, I don't say, 203 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 3: playing patty Cake, but you're not. They're not setting the 204 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 3: tone in which I'm what I'm talking about. It looks 205 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: like a practice tempo to me, and so I feel 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 3: like they needed to be a little bit more aggressive 207 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: in their past blocking and it just it just was 208 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: very disappointing it sometimes because J. J. Watt was just 209 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 3: coming off blocks and and and making plays when it 210 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 3: should have been physically they could have put their body 211 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: physically upon him. 212 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and it's tough to see, you know, Giant's falling 213 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 2: to two and six, after a loss on Monday Night Football, 214 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: a loss in which you know the game was within reach. 215 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 2: It was a one possession game, down to the wire. 216 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: It was something that, uh, you know, it wasn't over 217 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: till it was over. And you hear them talk about 218 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: this after the game. You know, hey, we put a 219 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: lot of work in. It's unfortunate the results are not translating. 220 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: At some point you want to see the effort you're 221 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: putting in week in and week out translates two results 222 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: on the field. But fortunately for these Giants, you got 223 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: another game coming up on Sunday. They're back at home 224 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: at MetLife Stadium, hosting the division rival Washington Commanders, number 225 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: one in the division, Washington Commanders. You love turf, You're. 226 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: Good at it, so you start a turf business, grows, 227 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: your savings, grow, become the most celebrated name in terurfs. 228 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: Are you ready for all that life brings? 229 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: You know, Daniels is coming off an incredible win over 230 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears for Washington, which he threw a game 231 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: winning hill. Mary, This is a special player and the 232 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: Giants defense is going to have their work cut out 233 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: for him. 234 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think they had good practice today with 235 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, a very mobile quarterback, they were very disciplined 236 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: in their rush lanes, so they closed up all the 237 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: escape lanes out of the pocket, and that's why they 238 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 3: were allowed to get three sacks tonight or four sacks tonight. 239 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: And I think that is the kind of way that 240 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: they're going to have to approach Jayden Daniels. They can't 241 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: just have one guy screaming. It has to be a 242 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: very calculated, very discipline rush, especially with a guy as 243 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: elusive getting out of the pocket as Jayden Daniels. But 244 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: you know he is. 245 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: His legend is growing. 246 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: The Hail Mary last week was impressive, but not just that. 247 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: His entire time playing in the NFL, he has been spectacular, 248 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: even when they played it, even when we played them, 249 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: when the Giants played them earlier this year, he played 250 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: a very fine game. So this is a high level 251 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: quarterback doing you know, big time things, and you know 252 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 3: he keeps it up. He might be in the MVP 253 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: conversation as great as he's been playing. So it's not 254 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 3: just a rookie flash in the pen. This guy is 255 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: putting in some real work. 256 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 2: When you look at the way these two teams played 257 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: each other just a few weeks ago as well, and 258 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: it was a game in which the Giants kicker, Graham Guano, 259 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 2: he had been injured coming into the game. He got 260 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: hurt on the opening play, So the Giants were without 261 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 2: a kicker essentially, and we're not able to settle for 262 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: a field goal, we're not able to go for pat 263 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: and lost narrowly because of that disadvantage in essence. So 264 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 2: when you look at how closely these two teams played 265 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: each other last time, they were out, obviously the you know, 266 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 2: paths have gone very different directions since then. But this 267 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: will be a much it'll be an interesting rematch for 268 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 2: these two division NFC East teams at this midway point 269 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: of the season. 270 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Vision teams know each other the best they 271 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: know when they're in their drafting room and they're putting 272 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 3: together their team. They're putting together the team. We're putting 273 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 3: together the team to go against the Washington Commanders. They're 274 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 3: going against the team to go against us, And so 275 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: there's not going to be any holes that they're not 276 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 3: familiar with. They know the playbook. They we play them twice, 277 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: the Giants play them twice year. So it's going to 278 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: be an execution battle, and that's one thing that the 279 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 3: Giants did not do tonight, is that's executed at a 280 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: high level. With the penalties of punt return touchdowns, the turnovers, 281 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: those are the types of things that need to be 282 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: cleaned up, not just for this next week, but for 283 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: the entire season because the Giants currently, you know, they 284 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: are only one real position group that you look at 285 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: and say this is a good group, and that is 286 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: a defensive line, the front seven in terms of the 287 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 3: way they stopped. They can get after the passer and 288 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: cause havoc in the backfield. Other than that, this Giant 289 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: team needs to develop, as with all the younger players 290 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: in the secondary and especially in Elikue Neighbors, needs to 291 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: play more detail oriented and along with the entire team, 292 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: because these are the types of the types of mistakes 293 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 3: they made tonight cost them the game they should have 294 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: won tonight. They played well enough to win football. Daniel 295 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: Jones played good enough football tonight to win. It's just 296 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: that with all of the mistakes, this team is not 297 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: good enough to overcome them. 298 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we'll see how things pan out back at 299 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: MetLife Stadium Sunday, November third to one, PM kickoff the 300 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: Giants hosting the Commanders in week nine. But that's a 301 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 2: wrap for your Week eight. Rapid Reaction with Super Bowl 302 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: Champion Ammani Tumor. I'm Madeline Burke, and a reminder of 303 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: the Giants Huddle podcast, brought to you by Citizens, the 304 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 2: official bank of the New York Giants.
