Speaker 4: Six, Baby, No doubt, no doubt.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: In fact, I think Pat Boyle just had media day,

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: so we covered that part of the Super Bowl week

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: here with the update.

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: No doubt.

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have visions of Victor Cruz dancing in the

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: end zone as we prepare for Bailey Zappi, Mac Jones

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: and Will Grier tomorrow.

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Tommy DeVito just got like six marriage proposals to day.

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: Everything's going great, right, Oh, it's so perfect, So I

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: buy all up before we go any further on this

29
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: very much.

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: In eating weekend, for Eating America and Thanksgiving and what

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: we're thankful for, I need to put an end to

32
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: one of the biggest fallacies that has gone around over

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: the last week and a half as Tommy DeVito manias

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: swept us all John Schmelk, and that is Tommy DeVito

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: didn't invent a drunken chicken palm. He didn't invent vodka

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: sauce on a chicken palm.

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 4: Hero.

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't know what you Jersey folks have been doing,

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: but on Long Island we've been having vodka sauce on

40
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: chicken palms dating back to when I was in high school.

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: How do you think I have so many fat rolls

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: on me? Please?

43
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I see. I wouldn't say yeah.

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: Again, I wouldn't say it's unique, but I also wouldn't

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: say it's typical. I think probably the marinara is more

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: typical on the chicken part.

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Of course, but the Bulls had two years were pipping

48
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: was their featured guy. Oh I'm saying is that the

49
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: chicken farm has existed. I don't like Tommy DeVito taking

50
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: credit here.

51
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: I don't like it.

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the game here, Patriots quarterback.

53
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: We still don't know everybody's gonna get ready to play.

54
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: So let's play a game here, Marash. You know, I

55
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: like to get your prediction on who's gonna win. More importantly, Okay,

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get your prediction who's gonna play. So what

57
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: do you think who's gonna be the starting quarterback for

58
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: the Patriots tomorrow?

59
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: I have my theory. You go first.

60
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: I'm throwing a dart. I think Will Greener so do I.

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: Everything that has been said about you know, even Mac

62
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: Jones leaking out that you know, this is the kind

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: of defense you need a veteran to play for. I

64
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: don't think Bailey's appy' is an option versus Wink Martindale,

65
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: especially the way that Wink has blitzed them in the preseason.

66
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: And I think Balli's appy is the least likely to start.

67
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think they're.

68
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Gonna give Will Greer a short leash and see if

69
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: he can jump start the offense a little bit tomorrow.

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I'm with you a couple of the

71
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: we don't yet know about who's gonna play in this game,

72
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: that we should get to very quickly here before we

73
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: get into the game a little bit more deeply. Morash

74
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Dexter Lawrence doubtful for this game with a hamstring. It

75
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 3: would be the first ever game he's had to miss

76
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: due to injury.

77
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: The only game he has never not played in is

78
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: or never not.

79
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: The only game he did not play in for the

80
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Giants that's some great English adow me is the final

81
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: game of last year and the Giants rest of their

82
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: players against the Eagles, So this would be the first

83
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: ever game he's had to miss due to injury, which

84
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: for a man of that size that plays that position

85
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: is fairly amazing. Darius Layne also doubtful with the neck

86
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: injury he suffered that on the same play that he suffered.

87
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I guess originally he was an arm injury right in

88
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: that game last week.

89
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Evan exactly, Evan Neil's not gonna play with the ankle,

90
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: and then Eric Gray was coming back from that ankle

91
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: injury that he was on ir with he's not gonna play.

92
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: As typical, Bill Belichick has many players that are questionable

93
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: for fans of the older generation. If you go back

94
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: to the probable days, and he would list around eighteen

95
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: guys as like literally between fifteen and eighteen guys as probable.

96
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: I think Brady was never not on the injury report.

97
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, everybody was on the injury but it

98
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: was like, literally you would have half the roster on

99
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: the injury report. Then they they literally eliminated the probable

100
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: designation on the injury report just because of Bill Belichick

101
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: and the way he used to use it.

102
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: So Trent Brown, that's the big one.

103
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Especially if Dexter Lawrence can't go, the Giants are gonna

104
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: need to.

105
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Get edge pressure.

106
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: And he's still even though he's on the older side,

107
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: he can still play when he's healthy. He's got an ankle,

108
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: he's questionable. Quarterback Jonathan Jones with the knee. Riley Reef

109
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: another offensive lineman, he's questionable with the knee. Special teams

110
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: A's Matthew Slater. Dietrich Wiseh's one of the better defensive linemen.

111
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: We'll talk about their defense in a second. Linebacker Juwan Bentley,

112
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: all those players are question a low with Devonte Parker

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: who's trying to come back from that concussion. You know, Sean,

114
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: this is not going to be an offensive extravaganza here.

115
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: It's literally the too lowest scoring teams in the National

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: Football League. And it's just one of those games where

117
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: I feel like, and this is the old Tom Coffin phrase,

118
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 3: and this goes back to Bill Parcels, more games in

119
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 3: this league are lost than they are won, toll, And

120
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: I feel like this is the game where, all right,

121
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: protect the ball, don't give the short field, make the

122
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: other team make long drives to score, and if you

123
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: don't make that big mistake, you're gonna give yourself a

124
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: pretty good chance to win this football game.

125
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I think the very small basis for the

126
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: Giants to win this game is at a bare minimum,

127
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: this schmelk at the end of the first half, Tommy Devino,

128
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: don't throw a hail Mary that gets returned ninety nine

129
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: yards for a touchdown, And I think the Giants walk

130
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: out of MetLife no matter what, not the biggest losers

131
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: of this weekend, no matter what, as long as that

132
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: doesn't happen. But yes to that point, don't turn the

133
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: ball over. You're talking about Slater being questionable. Remember we

134
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: have Olshinski here, the former Patriots special team or maybe

135
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: it's a big punt return that changes this game, that

136
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: sparks you for field position. And I think you know,

137
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 2: look when discussing everything that's happened around the Patriots and Giants,

138
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: and clearly their offensive struggles have been as magnif as

139
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: the Giants, the difference being that the Giants have had

140
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks go down.

141
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: The Patriots starter has just sucked from the very beginning.

142
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: I just think in this spot, man, Tommy DeVito, again,

143
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: it just protect the football.

144
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: Last week was a great revelation.

145
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: But last week the Giants also got six turnovers in

146
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: all shapes and sizes and needed every last one of

147
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: them down to Isaiah Simmons at the end to seal

148
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: a victory.

149
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: So while we all walked away talking.

150
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: About the leaps and bounds that Tommy DeVito's made, boys,

151
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: he gotten better over the last four weeks, no doubt

152
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: about it.

153
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: This is still Bill Belichick and a Bill Belichick's scheme.

154
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: Off an extra week, in an extra bye week at

155
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: an undrafted rookie, there are gonna be some confusing looks

156
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: thrown at Tommy DeVito. Don't look to set the world

157
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: on fire. This doesn't have to be a three or

158
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: four touchdown pass game. Again from DeVito, He's just got

159
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: to take what the defense gives him and know that

160
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: on the other side, even without Dexter Lawrence, potentially the

161
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: Giants defense I don't think is gonna get lit up

162
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: in this game. Either protect the football and you have

163
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: a chance to walk away with a victory.

164
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious to see what this defense looks like

165
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 3: without Dexter Lawrence, right, because whenever this defense plays well,

166
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: Dexter Lawrence is a monster. That's how this has gone.

167
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see if is a cave on

168
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 3: Thibadeau that steps up. Is it one of these you know,

169
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: is it a younger defensive tackle.

170
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Is it a d J.

171
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: Davidson, Jordan Riley that steps up? Todashan Robinson is a nacho?

172
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Do they blitz more than Mike mcfad Noel Kerrica. I'm

173
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: curious to see how the Giants work that defensively to

174
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: make up for some of that.

175
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna call it easy because you don't have

176
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: to scheme it.

177
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: Up right, some of that easy pressure that they're gonna

178
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: lose without Dexter Lawrence simply whipping the center in front

179
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: of him every other play.

180
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and on the flip man.

181
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: This just to be a big step up spot for

182
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: Azzojlari now two weeks from me from coming off the

183
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: IR because I think there's no doubt about it. Without

184
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: dex there's gonna be a lot of attention paid to

185
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: cave On Thibodeau on one edge, he'll probably face double teams.

186
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: The entire game is hez Ojalari. Man has to come alive.

187
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: This has to be a big O'jelari game. This has

188
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: to be edge pressure NonStop.

189
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: And you're right.

190
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: Look in the interior, Davidson has been what he's been.

191
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: We've seen Jordan Riley in active, a ton Uh and

192
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: A'shon Robinson will eat up space. But now we're now

193
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: no Leonard Williams and potentially no Dexter Lawrence.

194
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a completely different look in the middle.

195
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 2: I don't think you can expect a completely dominant, you know, gain,

196
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: but just stop the run in the middle and just

197
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: hope the disease. If they're focusing that much on Kaevon

198
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: is the guy that could create a lot of edge

199
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: pressure and create some trouble on the other end.

200
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hit it.

201
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: You hope that group stops the run and then you

202
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: force whomever this Patriot quarterback is with. Again, one of

203
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: the least impactful groups of weapons in the passing game

204
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: in the league, right for the Patriots. I mean Kendrick Bourne,

205
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: Mika Sicki Hunter, Henry De Mario Douglas, Juju Smith shoot.

206
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: I mean, look, go down the list. None of these

207
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: guys are striking fear in your hearts. You don't have

208
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: to worry about that. And I got to imagine this

209
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: is a huge bring the heat game for Wink, right

210
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: because you're not worried about putting your guys in man

211
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: to man defense against this group. You know, this is

212
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: not Washington's group of wide receivers, This is not Dallas'

213
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: group of wide receivers.

214
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: This isn't even the Raiders group of wide receivers.

215
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: Right. I think that Devonte Adams, So I think Wink

216
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: is gonna be feeling his oatsier against this group of

217
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: Patriots quarterbacks, whichever one's happened to play, and the heat's

218
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: gonna become an all game long.

219
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know if I have too much

220
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: trip to fan.

221
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: Did I read write that yesterday it was a big

222
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: day that we expected Dorry Jackson back here. Yes, correct,

223
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: So I mean that's also part of it, right, if

224
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: you get probably your most trustworthy veteran corner back in

225
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: the line of first time in a couple of weeks.

226
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: And we love what Tay Banks has done. He's had

227
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: his ups and downs.

228
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: But if you put more trust in that back end,

229
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 2: then you're not worried about leaving say a Trey Hawkins

230
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: on an island in that spot. That's only gonna help

231
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: Wink be able to bring the pressure sneakily. A Dori

232
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: Jackson could be a big ad back to what Winke

233
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: Martindale wants to do.

234
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

235
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I want to football with the other side before

236
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: we take our break here in Morash and the Patriot defense,

237
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: the personnel isn't what it was, right. I think all

238
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: you need to look at is that Matthew Judon still

239
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: leads them in sacks and he hasn't played since Week four.

240
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I think that tells you all you need to.

241
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: Know about their pass rush and they lost Christigan Zalez.

242
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: They're really talented. Oh I thought had a chance to

243
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: be Defensive Player of the Year.

244
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: He won Rookie of the Month. Yeah, Rookie of the month.

245
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: They got hurt that last week.

246
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry.

247
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: Yes, defensive Rookie of the Year not played right the year.

248
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: Defensive Rookie of the Year, they lost him. Their defensive

249
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: personnal is not the same. But you look at some

250
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: of the underlying metrics here. There's so fifteenth in ep

251
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: AL out for play, their top six rush EPA rush

252
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: success rate.

253
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: Their past stuff isn't great.

254
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: But you said this earlier, right, what Bill Belichick's history

255
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: is against rookie passers. Throw in the fact and no

256
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: one's more effective at taking away the other team's best

257
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: weapon than Bill Belichick.

258
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: And we all know that's number twenty six.

259
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 3: So he's gonna focus all his energy on taking twenty

260
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: six away. Then he's gonna try, to your point earlier,

261
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: mixing's up in the secondary.

262
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: We go back to the Sam Darnold seeing ghost things.

263
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: We've all seen him work against rookie quarterbacks, and I'm

264
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: really curious to see how this cat and mouse game

265
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: between the Giants offensive staff and Bill Belichick can kind

266
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: of do battle in this game and see which group

267
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: can give their side a schematic advantage.

268
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for any cocky, pumped up Giant fans, bless

269
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: your heart. Look and you want to be optimistic about

270
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: this game. I totally understand that. But just remember this.

271
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: For all that's gone wrong in New England this year,

272
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: for all the talk about what the future holds for

273
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick at his core, at his bread and butter

274
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 2: and Giant fins, we know this better than anybody, right.

275
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is still a defensive scheme artist. So that

276
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: is the one thing even if the offense isn't move

277
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: the ball, even if his quarterback stinks, where the Giants

278
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: can't full victim here is have him take away Saquon

279
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: and have Tommy DeVito just chucking up balls so confused.

280
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: That's what goes back to the original point. Just protect

281
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: the football in this game.

282

308
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 3: historic matchup.

309

Speaker 1: Here, super Bowl forty two and Super Bowl forty six.

310
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: Super Bowl forty two one of the biggest upsets in

311
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: NFL history, Giants knocking off the undefeated Patriots. Here's one

312
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: thing that annoys me about those two games, Marash. People

313
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: can flate them like they're the same, and those two

314
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: matchups and teams that the Giants rolled out on those

315
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: two games, some of the names are the same.

316
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: They could not be more different.

317
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: You go back to super Bowl forty six, spreads only

318
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: a couple points, like the game wasn't much more than

319
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: a toss up.

320
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty two was a legit crazy opposite.

321
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 3: That Patriot team still, in my opinion, is the best

322
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: football team I've ever seen. Unbelievable team, so good, their

323
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: point differential was insane.

324
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: They were dominant. Great team.

325
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: Giants played an almost perfect game, beat the New England Patriots.

326
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: Fantastic but very different types of teams too.

327
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: The forty two team is much more defensive oriented. I

328
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: know the scores were the same.

329
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: But that forty six team Eli Manning in the passing

330
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: game carried that team on his back the whole year.

331
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Thank you Schmelk, because this is undoubtedly a fight. For

332
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: whatever reason, I still get into with people who are

333
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: like anti Eli Manning because those people still exist. And

334
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: you could tell somebody who doesn't fully grasp or didn't

335
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: understand the seasons. When you hear this sentence coming to out,

336
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: remember Eli Manning's defense. It's carried of the two Super Bowls,

337
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: not no nonsense. Super Bowl forty six, that whole run.

338
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: Eli Manning remains the only quarterback in NFL history to

339
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl with the dead last ranked run

340
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: game in football. They were thirty second in rushing offense

341
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: that year. The offensive line was not the same dominant

342
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 2: force it was in seven. Remember the forty nine er game.

343
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: How much he took a beating in and defensively while

344
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: they came on hot and came on strong. I mean

345
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: there were games late in near the Saint game where

346
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: are roles getting cooked behind him signing Chase Blackburn off

347
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: the street. They were so banged up with injury, they

348
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: didn't have dominant corner play. The defense was nothing special

349
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl four, or at least that run. The

350
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: super Bowl forty six season, that is an Eli Manning

351
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: year to a t. But super Bowl forty two, I

352
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: think is also further prove schmol because the Giants continue

353
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: to own the Commanders as the Commanders oddly play these

354
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: games versus the Eagles tight, and we can't understand why

355
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: we always lose to the Eagles. On the flip side,

356
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: we're in football. Sometimes it's all about matchups. And for

357
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: whatever reason, you saw it in week seventeen and he

358
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: start in Super Bowl forty two, the team and the

359
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: roster that just may not have been the second best

360
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: team in football of the Patriots, but was their worst

361
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: possible matchup was that Giant team with the wave of

362
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: pass rush they could throw at them.

363
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: And tip your hat to Tom Coughlin too. This is

364
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: why Tom Coffin is going to be a Hall of Famer.

365
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 3: How many coaches can go out there and either out

366
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: scheme or scheme to a draw Bill Belichick. When Bill

367
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: Belichick has two weeks to prepare for you, you know,

368
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: Tom Cofflin is a very underrated schematic head coach. And

369
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: give Kevin Gilbrid credit in those games two and I

370
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: think Giant fans, who all they did was complain about

371
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: Kevin Gilbrid for years, I think people realize what they

372
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: had at him now when he was here, and those

373
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: guys do not give enough credit for coaching against Bill

374
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: Belichick in those games. When you ever you give Bill

375
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: Belichick two weeks to prepare for a team, he automatically

376
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 3: gets the advantage. That was not the case in these

377
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: games because the Giants had Tom Coughlin.

378
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah no, he was that good.

379
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: And by the way, two different defensive coordinators as well

380
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: helping him out there as well.

381
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: We've seen what Spags has done since leaving the Giants.

382
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Of course, Perry Fuel in the second one, you're right

383
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: that that is completely on Coughlin. And by the way,

384
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: these teams have played some epic regular season games. Forget

385
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: that twenty eleven regular season game Jake Ballard with an

386
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: insane catch.

387
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: That team was missing guys.

388
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Of course, I mentioned oh seven then, yet the Collins

389
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: dropped pick in twenty sixteen. I believe the last two

390
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: times the Giants beat the Pats on a never mind

391
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: that doesn't acount for ORO seven. I was gonna say

392
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: they went on to go to a Super Bowl, so

393
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: you'd never know nine to eight. Let's see if the

394
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: Giant team gets hot here with the veto.

395
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: On is want to add on twenty eleven one more thing.

396
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: Eli Manning's fourth quarter numbers that year are some of

397
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: the most insane things you'll ever see. I just brought

398
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: them up. This is just fourth quarters that year. Seventeen

399
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: hundred passing yards, fifteen touchdowns, six interceptions, nine point four

400
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: yards per attempt, and one hundred and ten quarterback rating.

401
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 3: That's just in fourth quarters. Yeah, in twenty eleven.

402
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know.

403
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: I think Zee was playing us off the stage here

404
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: at this point, schmeilk. But let me just add that,

405
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: if you want some free time, go watch Giants Cardinals

406
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: in twenty eleven, just the fourth quarter, and you'll get

407
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: a real appreciation for Eli Manning because that was the

408
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: fourth quarter comeback of all comeback stating here, but he

409
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 2: was just incredible.

410
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, and just a lot of fun.

411
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna get a close game this week, Marashus,

412
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: because I don't think either team's gonna be able to

413
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: score enough to run away.

414
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: But no down, So give me your feel. What is

415
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: this game gonna look like on Sunday afternoon?

416
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: Giants eight Patriots three?

417
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Is that a safety or a two point conversion? In there?

418
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 4: We miss an extra point?

419
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 2: Little wind a shafety later, on the Giants win eight three.

420
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: How do they score the touchdown?

421
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 4: It is a running touchdown by Shaquan as they got

422
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 4: near the goal line and they can immediately miss the

423
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: extra point.

424
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, there you have it, folks. Take out.

425
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,960
