1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants Huddle on Giants

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: dot Com and the Giants Bubble. The Giants Podcast Network

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: pulled the Tino here on the Giants Huddle. With the

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: immediate reaction to the Denver Broncos twenty seven to thirteen

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: victory over the Giants at Betlife Stadium in Week one,

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: Howard Cross joins us following the game, and Howard certainly

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things disappointed the fans tonight, but let's

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: just start with the fact that Sa Kwan Barkley was

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: able to play in this opening game coming off of

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: that a c L surgery a year ago. Uh. Pretty

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: remarkable that he was able to do what he did,

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: and thank goodness, at least at this point, it appears

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: that he came through healthy. Finished the game with chen

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: carries for twenty six yards, also caught one pass for one. Yeah,

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: great job about Sa Kwan coming in. I think that

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: the Giants kind of did the right thing by limiting

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: him today because they played Washington Thursday night, and just

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround for a guy coming off from the

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: a c L surgery, you don't want to really push

20
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: the I thought he did a good job for running

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the ball. Had a couple of you know plays where

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: he went into the pile, pushed it with his legs,

23
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: and he really showed his power. Uh saw a couple

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: of times though, you know, him trying to make quick

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: cuts that his feet just worked quite under him. That

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: comes with running the ball at full speed. That comes

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: with being in practice as also comfortable being a kind

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: of either preseason or game shape. So his legs are

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: really strong, but weren't quite game shaped ready. So I

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: think you'll see you over the next three weeks. He's

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: gonna look more and more explosive every time he gets

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: gets another rep. Let's spend a couple of minutes. You're

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: talking about some of the giants who were dinged up

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: during training camp and did not get a lot of work,

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Guys like Rudolph Tony Gola Day. Now Golladay wild up

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: with four four catches for sixty four yards, but unfortunately

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those were kind of after the game

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: was decided in the fourth quarter. He looked fresh, he

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: made some contested catches. I think that's certainly something to

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: build on. I think all Day is a big time receiver.

41
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Watching him tonight, you know, kind of admired him from

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: far when he was in Detroit, but actually watching him tonight,

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: you can see he got a great catch radius. Uh,

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: he makes contested contested catches. Guys know when he's on

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: the field, they have to pay special attention to him.

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: And even when you're paying special attention to him, he

47
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: can go up and get the ball. I like the

48
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: hus in short, areas, deep, whatever it is. He's gonna

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: be a guy to day. It's gonna start looking for

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: more and more now that he watched that, because when

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: the quarterback season, Hey look I can throw it to

52
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: this guy. He can make a play, and he's gonna

53
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: start doing that. I look forward to him over the

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: next few weeks doing it more often. Now we mentioned

55
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Rudolph where I did and Tony just before. Rudolf didn't

56
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: get but a couple of targets. Tony got a couple

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: of opportunities. But given that they didn't do a whole

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: lot during the course of summer camp, wasn't that realistic

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: or was it unrealistic for people to expect them to

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: be a bigger part of the offense. I think Rudolph

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: was more forced than the action because of you know

62
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Ingram being out. I think Rudolph would have had like

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: a little bit of the Barkley kind of thing of

64
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: some special place here and at Leba Caso Ingram being out,

65
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: he needed to play every down as far as his

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: pass catching and everything. He only had a couple of targets. Uh.

67
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: And and that's nothing more than because this wasn't a

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities on offense. And if they just fitting

69
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: in the first down and they're out, you know, Denver

70
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: kept the ball forever. As far as Tony, Tony is

71
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: a really fast guy, fast twitch guy, very explosive. If

72
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: he's not in quote unquote game shape or being used

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: to being explosive and hit, he could tear something like immediately.

74
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: And with COVID and everything else, you know, keep him

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: out of practice and his injury keeping him out of

76
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: training is almost impossible to put him in in a

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: full time role. He's gonna have to really work his

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: way into the into the rotation and work his way

79
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: in the rest because if he does anything crazy, God forbid,

80
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: if he if they had to come around next on

81
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: the on the bubble scream or running them around and

82
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: he gets opening in the sprints, he's definitely gonna grab

83
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring or something because their bodies are just not

84
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: used to it. Now when you look at this offense, Uh,

85
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: they're down ten seven at half time. They get the

86
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: forty two yard catch by Slaton on the third snap

87
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: of the game, which was their real explosive big play

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: early on, they weren't able to build on it. Only

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: had four possessions plus a kneel down in the first

90
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: half as Denver controlled the clock. So how much of

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: that was circumstance and how much of it was the

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: offense not necessarily getting the spark that they needed it

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: was It was a little bit of both. I think.

94
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I think it was more of the Denver's being so

95
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: so good at what they were doing. They were doing

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: like quick davia Bridge White. It was like a two

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: read quarterback. He drops back and looks and then he

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: finds his first guy or a second guy, and they

99
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: did it over and over and over again. Uh. And

100
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: then the defense it wasn't able to stop the crossing

101
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: patterns they were playing. Kind of I don't sly they're

102
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: playing outmosition, but maybe the wrong technique just so stop

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: crossing pattern. So if that could continuously happening, the offense

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: is over sitting down watching the game. So if you

105
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of opportunities, you have to make

106
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the most out of every opportunity to get that earth

107
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: drive before they sinks. Erardy passed everything that looks great

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: that you bring Tony into around him on the underneath

109
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: bubble kind of screen. It's a given play. That's the

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: play ran in college on Noah sprints some phildicals. That's

111
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: what he's looking for. He's looking for him to do it.

112
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a surprise nothing, it's a knocker or

113
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: anything on the play. College just wasn't surprised. So now

114
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: you're out three and out. Next time you see the ball,

115
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: it's fifteen plays later, and then you gotta score. You

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: can get a score great. Next time you see the

117
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: ball this thirteen plays later. If if those kind of

118
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: drives continue, it's gonna be hard for the offense to

119
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: get the rhythm and gets going there. They weren't playing

120
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: as explosive, catch the ball down and feel they're point

121
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: of gollar day early. Maybe you've been different, but they

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: don't have to learn for me, Howard, I thought the

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: game really turned with the Giants up seven three four

124
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: minutes left. In the second quarter, Logan Ryan forces a

125
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: fumble inside the five, recovers it. The offense goes three

126
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: and out and does nothing with the ball there. The

127
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Broncos come right back and score touchdown why before the

128
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: end of the half. So not only do they have

129
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: the lead attend to seven, but they get the ball

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: to start the third quarter and they go seventy five

131
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: yards in sixteen plays. Now it's seventeen seven before you

132
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: touch the ball again again. When you get to play

133
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: down here and you're you're deep in your own hands

134
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: on it. It's a great play by Logan Ryan, but

135
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: the balls inside of ten, so you're not gonna drop

136
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: back and throw the ball down the field because you're

137
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: wanna get sacked the hands on and get a hold.

138
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: In the end, they try to run the ball then

139
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: miss run. Defense was excellent tonight. They gave it maybe

140
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: two yards. Now they got to throw the ball out

141
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: in the flats. The ball wasn't caught thrown behind them,

142
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: or however you want to say it. Missconnection. Now you're

143
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: forced to be into a third down. You catch the ball,

144
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: but you're tackled right away and you're one or two

145
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: yards short. You have to fund involved, but you have

146
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: to make the most of every play when you get

147
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: when you when you're back there. That's the only way

148
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: to do it. Daniel Jones twenty two or thirty seven

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 1: for two sixty seven yards and a touchdown. I know

150
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: there was some late fourth quarter numbers that added to that,

151
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: but for the most part, I thought the past protection

152
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: was actually pretty decent. I think the offensive line did

153
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: a great job and pass protection, which was, you know,

154
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: the thing that everyone was complaining about, worried about and

155
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on. The run game

156
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: they struggled, but the surprising though, right they did go

157
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and give up the two sacks. But as you said,

158
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the run game was the problem. Run game was like

159
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: the Denvers run defense was pretty good. Von Miller is

160
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: a very good run defender. I mean people are getting

161
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: credit for just you know, making sacks AND's gonna be

162
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the very good running defender. And those interior defensive lineman

163
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: they did a good job. So you gotta figure it out.

164
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: That's why we rotated offensive lineman, trying to find a

165
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: combination to see if we can get away to get

166
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: some blocks and maybe get ourselves up failed all right,

167
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: So at that point, after that opening a third quarter

168
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: touchdown at seventeen to seven, Denver Daniel Jones winds up

169
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: getting caught where he gets the ball punched out on

170
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: a scrambles. The Giants are driving to try to keep

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: this game close with the score. A lot of people

172
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: will look at that and say, Okay, same old, same old.

173
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a good defensive play. No,

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: it was a great defensive play. Nail did everything right.

175
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: You know. Only thing he can do better maybe a slide.

176
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: But when he's going to the ground, he knows he

177
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: might get hit. He has both hands on the ball

178
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: really tight. He's trying to crawl up, and the guy

179
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: actually pokes the ball out with his fists to knock

180
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the ball out. It's just an excellent player, alright. So

181
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: now Denver has the ball back, and of course they

182
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: start milking clock. They wind up getting a field goal,

183
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: and it's twenty two seven. Now we all know what.

184
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: The Giants down by two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter.

185
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: That's not a place you want to be now. But

186
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: you know what was surprising to me is that they

187
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: didn't go into a hurry up offense. I thought that

188
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: the Giants were gone into a harry up offense, trying

189
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: to get some shots down the field, try to move

190
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: for a score. They looked more like they were trying to, like,

191
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: you know, make sure the defense and just run back

192
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: out on the field. They couldn't stop him. They were

193
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where he gets them positive to

194
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: build on this game, looking forward to the next game.

195
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: But they, you know, they did what they know what

196
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: they had to do. All right, let's talk a little

197
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: bit about this defense. We've talked about the fact that

198
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: Bridgewater escaped a lot. The truth of the matter is,

199
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: for me, when I looked at his numbers and they're

200
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: doing good, okay, thirty six for two yards, two touchdowns,

201
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: ran three times for nineteen it wasn't so much the

202
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: overall numbers. It was when he did it because they

203
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: seemed to get near him but couldn't finish him. You know,

204
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: the big thing is that this is just part of

205
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: what I could say. But what happens in training camp, Well,

206
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: you're not used to playing the games for you that

207
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: you're not playing in preseason games, and you're not you know,

208
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: actually having those contacts that you're used to having. I'm

209
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: supposed to have in the game. You don't do it.

210
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: In this game. Guys are coming foreter bumping him. They're

211
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: not hitting him, they're not tackling, their bumping him and

212
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: not take him to the ground. They're still trying to

213
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: figure out how to how to wrap a guy up

214
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: and get him to the ground. But later on you'll

215
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: see guys those players to be completed, which Patrick Graham,

216
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator, talked about this week. It's it's a

217
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: hard thing not doing a hard thing for these guys

218
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: that I saw several times the guys had their heads

219
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: on Teddy. Teddy is not like this mansterss strong guys.

220
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: He and he's not Colepepper. He's not He's not known

221
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: for like the big stiff arm knocking guys to the ground.

222
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: He's stiff throwing. One of our linebackers knocked him to

223
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: the ground. And I'm like, wait a minute, like what's

224
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: this going on. So you're watching guys and you're trying

225
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: to figure out how to quote unquote get to him,

226
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: and when you do get to him, you gotta get

227
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: him to the ground. Him rolling around, he only scrambled

228
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. It wasn't like you were scrambling a lot,

229
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: but you have to get to him and you can't

230
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: second get yourself, and when you get a chance to

231
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: hit him, you gotta hit him. Yeah, there was that

232
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: one time where Old Galari had him and wound up

233
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: letting him get away and turned out to be a

234
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. He did have a shock also later on

235
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: in the game, we talked about Tony, but let's talk

236
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: about Old Glory for a second. Overwall, what did you

237
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: see in his debut? I saw a kid that was

238
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: a got great bursts, got a good got a good

239
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: pass for us coming off the edge. Uh needs to

240
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: be a little more secure when it comes down to

241
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the run defense. I know, I know he played okay

242
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: and when he had a runtornities, but he's got to

243
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: be secure with him. I know he's gonna be restling

244
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: that knee. He's can kind of be on a pitch

245
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: count because of the injuries and how his leg is.

246
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: But you can watch him. I think that you're gonna

247
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: be able to count him this this year for some

248
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: for some sacks, I think he's gonna, you know, add

249
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: to the pressure of the person I have surprised and

250
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: I was looking for to have a great game was

251
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: a little Enzo, you know. I was like, I'm like,

252
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna have this great day, and it just he

253
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: was there, but he just wasn't. Carter couldn't finish like

254
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys couldn't. I was looking for that.

255
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: Come on, man, where are you? And when you're when

256
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: you you gotta have those guys be there. You gotta

257
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: have two guys be there, and it's gonna be interested

258
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: in the same point and how long is gonna take

259
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: them and get themselves up to speed. Now also looking

260
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: at this defense, they get up seven of fifteen third

261
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: down conversions and three or three fourth down conversions. Didn't

262
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: even look like in those situations the Broncos had much

263
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: respect for the Giants because they just figured, Okay, it

264
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where we are in the field, they gonna

265
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: go for it. I thought that was rather startling to me.

266
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: I think that they kind of figured out that that

267
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: they that we weren't able to defend the crossing the

268
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: pattern early, and they started until they saw the the

269
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: defenders get to the inside and start playing them inside out.

270
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, we'll just run crossing pattern, putting the

271
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: put the defender in the trail over and over. He

272
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: just was easy success and it made an easy read

273
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: for Teddy. So if you got a guy, you snapped

274
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the ball all of a sudden, the first guys cross

275
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: your face, you know this gonna be this guys won't

276
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: be the next guy behind him, so we haven't a

277
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: double cross her every time and then they cross her

278
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: or what the incut behind him? He knew what he

279
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: was looking at right away, and the same two guys

280
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: went over, and no matter who they were, it would

281
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: be the inside guy in the outside guy. They'd be

282
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: coming across the field Adam the whole time. And if

283
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: you don't play inside out the force. They got the

284
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: bubble way over the top to change the time. You

285
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: know the pattern, it's just there, and they couldn't They

286
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: couldn't find a way to get to that. Uh. I'm

287
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: sure Patrick's gonna be looking at that and trying to

288
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: figure that out, but he will not definitely not put

289
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: that on film again, having guys in that position. We

290
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: talked about the game being three points. We haven't addressed

291
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: special teams yet. I didn't see a lot to really

292
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: think of personally positively or negatively on specials. It seems

293
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: as it was just kind of there. Um, they had

294
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: one opportunity to down the ball inside the five and

295
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: they weren't able to do that and wind up being

296
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: a touchback. But other than that, I didn't think anything

297
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: really glared out. I thought the kickoff returns were really nice.

298
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I thought they had a couple of returns and took

299
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: them all six seven yards deep. Uh, and risky business

300
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: took it out past board. Yeah, so you figure out

301
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: past the seven yards, those are over thirty yards return.

302
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: So we had two returns over thirty yards. I think

303
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: that's all right. All right, So if you are a

304
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: coach shoe judge now and you come on for this

305
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: opening day loss, you know you've got Washington in five days.

306
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: From a psychological perspective, how you dealing with your team

307
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: as they licked their wounds? Right now, I'm telling my

308
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: team first off, from the office standpoint, Hey, we gotta

309
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: make the most of our opportunities when we're out there.

310
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: That means that continue with a great pass walk and

311
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: we did a good job, is going to get tougher.

312
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for it. If not, gonna just be

313
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: one guy coming off the edge or one guy that's

314
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: a great pass rusher. Teams are gonna start blissingers. They

315
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of blisteners to night, so they

316
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: made out. In the future, you're gonna see more blisses.

317
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Be ready for that. That's for the run game. That's

318
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: about want to, guys, that's what it is. That's all

319
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: about want to. You're gonna have to You're gonna have

320
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: to want to beat the guy in front of you.

321
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: It's not always technique, it's not always scheme. And sometimes

322
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: if you want to beat the other guy, you gotta

323
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: want to move him off his spot. And that's gonna

324
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: be something he's gonna be preaching to these guys a lot.

325
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: For the defensive standpoint, he's going to talk the coach.

326
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: Coach gonna say, listen, we gotta make plays. We can't

327
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: have the team going like fifty or cent or six

328
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: or cent third down against us. We can't help guys

329
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: even dare to think about, um, you know, beating us

330
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: in fourth down, on playing us in fourth pound. And

331
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: by the way, all that stuff that happened last year

332
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: doesn't count. New year, new season. I need you now.

333
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: I've been telling you that the whole time, and now

334
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: you see it, pick it up, and he's going to

335
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: go to certain players. I won't call anybody out. You

336
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: have to go to certain players and hey, I mean

337
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: you to pick it up. You're making money. I need

338
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you to pick it up. And that's what we're gonna do.

339
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: As far as special teams ago, they're gonn get a

340
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: lot more opportunities from looking forward to seeing some of

341
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: some of the big players in that as well. But

342
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that far away. It's a bad loss.

343
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a very bad loss, but I think

344
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: that it was kind of, you know, almost expected. No

345
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: one's playing. This is almost like the fourth preseason game

346
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: that they haven't played yet. Even Joe judge It said

347
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: that going into this game, Yeah, it's like your fourth

348
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: free season game and not playing your startus for whatever reason,

349
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: because he's trying to keep them health and trying to

350
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: make sure they're safe. Whatever. It's football. They don't start

351
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: playing football at the time you start playing football. Real games.

352
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: The real games count against your record. So just the

353
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: first real game and everybody's saying, it's just like our

354
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: last preseason game, but this one counts. Was there anything

355
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: that you saw tonight schematically or from any individual player

356
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: that surprised you that kind of called you off. Guarden said, jeez, wow,

357
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: I didn't see that or I didn't think they were

358
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: going to do that. Now. I think mostly just seeing

359
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: golid day range and and how you know how it's

360
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: catch reading. Is he fought for a couple of catches

361
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: tonight really hard. Yeah, not only the contested catches, but

362
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you saw him fill the ball over the middle. He

363
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: reached out, he was so far out and catching him

364
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: all that. That's pretty good. Like it was like he

365
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: knows they can't they can't take a shot at him,

366
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: so he says, and using all of his length to

367
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: go get it. I thought that was really good. I

368
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: thought Shephard came up big and bladed strong tonight, and

369
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: I was very impressed with him. But outside of that,

370
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line holding up in the in

371
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: the pass game, is pleasantly surprised. But like I said,

372
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: it's going to get it's gonna get rougher for him.

373
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna see Chase Sewan, probably one of the

374
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: best edge wrestlers in the league next week. Thursday night,

375
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: we had heard so much positivity from the players and

376
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the coaches going through training camp and they say every

377
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: game counts exactly the same. But even Peppers, Jubil Peppers

378
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: told me last week Opening Night is different. It counts

379
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: more emotionally. Do you buy that? And now that they've

380
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: lost this game, is it a harder loss to put away? No?

381
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: I think this one's, unfortunately for them, is gonna be

382
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: really easy to put away. They should have a whole

383
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: week to think about, you know, so they can get

384
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: it together. They don't have time, Like this game's come

385
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: up Thursday night, you have to be ready. You have

386
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: two days and one days travel, so you only have

387
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: two days to get yourself ready. And you're supposed to

388
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: be in theory, you know, working out tomorrow and watching

389
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: the tape. That's gonna be none of that. They're gonna

390
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: work work out and get the game plan for the

391
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: next week to start trying to put it in before

392
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: you know what, they're gonna get their game taste and

393
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: start watching what happened in the Washington game yesterday. There

394
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: they got a lot to do in a short period

395
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: of time. So this game as much as should be

396
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: rubbing them and upsetting them and making them look at

397
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: and try to learn from They can't learn from it

398
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: because they got a game right away, all right. That

399
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: is how we crossed talking about the giants twenty seven

400
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: or thirteen opening night loss against the Denver Broncos here

401
