1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants huddle on Giants 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: dot Com. We go on the Giants Mobile. Let him 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: in there, let's go part of the Giants Podcast Network. 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Paulatino back on the Giants Huddle here on Giants dot Com. 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: It's time for the immediate reaction as we are joined 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: by Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz. The Giants win their 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: home opener nineteen to sixteen over the Carolina Panthers here 8 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: at Metlive Stadium. Victor, there's no other way to cut it. 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: A wins and wins a win. This team is two 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: and oh and that's the first time since sixteen, your 11 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: last season with the team, and you'd have to go 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: back to two thousand nine before that, and that was 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: a year before you got here. Wow, that's incredible. I mean, 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: we'll take it two and knows too. And No, obviously 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: the wins are gritty and hard fall especially this last one. Um, 16 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: but anytime, you know, it's very difficult to win this 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: football league. So the fact that we're to a no 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: after fighting a gritty went out, I think this window 19 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: teach us more about this team down the line. Well, 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: that's the next question for you. Are all wins created 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: equal or the fact that the Giants have got it 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: out too gritty wins and one close games in the 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Does that mean a little bit more. I 24 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: think it means a little bit more. Obviously, as we know, Paul, 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: the winning in this league isn't easy and all and 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: all games are always decided by a touchdown or field goal. 27 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: They're always so close, right, the fine line between winning 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: and losing is very very thin. So coming into this game, 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: winning this football game, fighting and tooth and now going 30 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: him down to the very d Daniel Jones getting that 31 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: first down on third and six and solidify the ball game. 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: It's one of those wins that really propels your team 33 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: and you get to learn about the grittiness that your 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: team has. And obviously there's some things that they have 35 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: to clean up execution wise on offense. Defense played great today, 36 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: but there's some things that they can work on as well. 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: So it's definitely some areas of importance of clean up there. Um, 38 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: but we'll take the win. I'm glad you brought up 39 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones because I think there were three important place 40 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: here in the fourth quarter that to me kind of 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: raised Daniel Jones to the next level, he had a 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: five yards scramble to set ups fifty two yard field 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: goal that put the Giants up by three. He then 44 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: had shepard on a five yard third and twenty three 45 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: that second oh up for a fifty six yard field 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 1: goal that was the difference in the game. And then 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: he has to scramble on third down to hold the 48 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: ball and milk the clock at the end. All three 49 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: of those plays were have to have it plays and 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback made them. Yeah. Absolutely, And that's what you 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: wanted out of Daniel Johnes. I think he understands how 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: to and when he when he controls the ball, when 53 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't turn the ball over, good things typically happen 54 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: with this team. And at the end of the game, 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: he's making smart, cerebral plays. And shout out to Graham 56 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: Gono going out there a four for four on the day, 57 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: a couple of fifty plus yards to really steal this 58 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: game and really have his imprint on his football game. Um, 59 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: and it's not easy, man. I mean, these guys fight 60 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: scratch claw and this game was indicative of all of 61 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: that today and they came out victorious. Nobody wants to 62 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: make it as hard as the Giants have on themselves 63 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: these first two weeks. The first half was not pretty, 64 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: and then they had to climb out of the whole. 65 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: What did you see as the difference between the two 66 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: halves that we saw today, Well, I think a little 67 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,839 Speaker 1: bit of that execution. I think in the first half, 68 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: especially the first two possessions of the game, you get 69 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: the ball inside the thirty, you got a chance to 70 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: put some points on the board, go up fourteen nothing 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: and only two field goes to show for it. It's 72 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: just I know that's something that coach Dabo is gonna 73 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: try to fix and harp on in those meeting rooms. 74 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: But we have to come away with touchdowns there. We 75 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: can't just have field goals. Not in this league. Not 76 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Guys are too good, Guys are too experienced. Guys know 77 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: how to win in this in this league on the 78 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: opposite side of the ball. So we have to come 79 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: away with touchdowns in that position. Hey, Giant fans, make 80 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: sure you're a MetLife stadium for the next home game. 81 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: September twenty six, The Giants will host the rival Dallas 82 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys from Monday Night football.

Visit giants dot com slash tickets 85 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: to secure your seat today. Now, at the same time, 86 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: you have to know that the Panthers were gonna get 87 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: up on Barkley after what he it in Week one 88 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: against the Titans, and it didn't look like the Giants 89 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: necessarily had much of an answer for that, at least 90 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: early on, and in fact even in the second half. 91 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: He got some dirty yards, but it wasn't like he erupted. Yeah, 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: and give some credit to the Carolina Panta front seven. 93 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: Those guys are are tough guys. Those guys are talented. Uh. 94 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: They got Burns up front that's strong and fast. So 95 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: they got some talent up there on that front line 96 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: that really bogged down on se Kwan and packed it 97 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: in on him. And and they gotta expect that. I mean, 98 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: with our receiving corps being all hands on debt, there's 99 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: not one guy that guys are keing on in that 100 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: receiving corps to make it balanced out there defensively. So 101 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: you have to have se Kwan understanding that he's gonna 102 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: see seven eight man boxes and receivers have to come 103 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: out and make place. I think you're gonna see as 104 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: the season progresses, Daniel Jones is gonna have to go 105 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: to those one on one opportunities on the outside in 106 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: order for those guys to be successful, in order for 107 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: his team to be successful. But Sa Kuan has to 108 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: have finny spots. Let's get him out into the open field, 109 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: put him out on the slot, get him some balls 110 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: in his hand, just to see him get the ball 111 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: in space and make his place. The Giants had one 112 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: terrific drive in this game. Uh's third quarter opens up 113 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: and More catches a touchdown pass it which thirteen to 114 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: six Panthers. Then the Giants come back seventy five yards 115 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: on eight plays fifteen sixteen, twelve, fifteen, and then sixteen 116 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: on the touchdown. All of a sudden, on this one drive, 117 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: everything seemed to click. What did you see there? Bellinger 118 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: with the touchdown? Of course, exactly great play by Balinger 119 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: as well, diving in there for the end zone. But 120 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: I just think execution, right, Paul, That's the execution that 121 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: we're looking for. But we just need to have that consistency. 122 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: I love that Damiels didn't turn the ball over today, 123 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: no interceptions, no fumbles, even the penalties were weren't didn't 124 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: hurt us today. We didn't have a ton of those 125 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: where they set us back. So it was just good 126 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: to see a drive where we know we can execute 127 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: at that high level. We know we can push the 128 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: ball downfield and get into the end zone and put 129 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: a full drive together. That's what we want to see 130 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: out of the Giants, and I know that's what coach 131 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: Dabo is gonna harp on this week and try to 132 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: build on that drive, and build on the consistency of 133 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: that drive and see where it takes us. Do you 134 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: remember during the times when you played the kind of 135 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: things that the coaching staff would want to do to 136 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: jump start a team early in the game when they 137 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: were in this kind of malays as the Giants have 138 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: seen in the first two halves of their first two 139 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Yeah, I remember us going We 140 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: went through some lulls like that early on in the 141 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: season and we won't hurry up. I remember a couple 142 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: of games we started the game in a hurry up. 143 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: Not hurry up, but more of a tempo offense where 144 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: everybody's at the line. We're signaling a lot of the 145 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: things that we did. Obviously, Eli Manning being the tenured 146 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: guy that he was and being able to handle all 147 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: of these things really helped us um. But we did 148 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: a lot of just tempo just to keep the defense 149 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: off balance and keep us shop and get us going 150 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: early on in the game. And I think, you know, 151 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: they might want to turn to that to see if 152 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: some tempo would be good to start the game off 153 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: and kind of get the offense going and get their 154 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: morale up just a little bit quicker to start the game. 155 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this defense for a minute, 156 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: because Wake Martindale has a very aggressive defense, high risk, 157 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: high reward. To this point, it hasn't been much high 158 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: risk because they haven't given up too many big plays, 159 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: although McCaffrey had one that set up the Panthers for 160 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: a score. Yeah, it's been it's been really nice to 161 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: see the chess match, right Wink Wink has just done 162 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: a good job this far. See early in the game, 163 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: he was in a dime package against McCaffrey because he 164 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: knows he has to have speed out there with him 165 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: on the field. And then when they went to a 166 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: different package, a different person out set, he said, Okay, 167 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: let me get my hogs out there. Let me get 168 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: my linebackers out there and that that are athletic that 169 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: can scream through those gaps and make plays in the 170 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: backfield and really get to the running back you know, 171 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: right when he gets the ball. Make it tough on 172 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: that offensive lines to create got gaps for him. But 173 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: watching that chess match throughout the entire game defensively was 174 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: really fun to watch. I need to bring up o 175 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: change him in as here for a second because we're 176 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: talking about the defense. And he's had a very kind 177 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: of nondescript first couple of years with his team three 178 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: years in but under Wink, this is two weeks now 179 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: where he has shown up, and today he showed up 180 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: pretty big. Yeah. I think that what you see how 181 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: the Winks defense is that guys are able to just execute, 182 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: sit back and know what they know what their job is, 183 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: and operate and a carefree attitude and just go out 184 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: there and play football. Those guys look like they're relaxed, 185 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: they're having a good time. They have fun with this 186 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: type of defense. They're able to fly around and um 187 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: and they just look like they're having a good time 188 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: out there and the results are showing it. Man they're 189 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: really playing some good football. They're forcing turnovers on special teams. 190 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, things are really happening defensively for this team, 191 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: and now the offenses has to build on that, you know, 192 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: kind of kind of live on that defense and build 193 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: some more consistency off that too now and of course 194 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: they're kind of whistling past the graveyard not getting enough 195 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: consistent pass rush. Now they expect Thibodeau and Larry to 196 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: come back sooner rather than later. How much of a 197 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: difference do you think those guys will make a huge difference? 198 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: And we're gonna need them as we go down the 199 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: stretch here as we play guys different quarterbacks like Aaron 200 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: Rodgers that we have in a couple of weeks, obviously 201 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: coming up with the Cowboys, which I don't care who 202 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: their quarterback is, they're always gonna have they're always gonna 203 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: be competitive. NFC East games are always competitive, so they're 204 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to get some pressure on that quarterback. So 205 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: we're we're escaping a little bit now because our secondary 206 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: is playing great. Our linebackers are crashing, getting a lot 207 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: of tackles for loss, getting into the backfield and making plays. 208 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: But we're gonna have to get to that quarterback in 209 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: the backfield early and often for us to be successful.

It's 234 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: gonna be bedlam here in this building. It's going to 235 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: be absolutely electric here. I know the home opener is 236 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: one thing, but Monday night football in the stadium, I mean, 237 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm getting goosebumps, Paul, just thinking about real goose bumps 238 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: right now. Man. There's nothing like it, especially against the 239 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and NFC S team. It means a lot 240 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: towards the wins and lost column. We have to a game, 241 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: we absolutely have to have. And if we thought this 242 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: game was, if we thought the fans were live here 243 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: today for this game, just wait until Monday night. I 244 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: don't think anyone more than Brandon Jacobs like beating the Star. 245 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: He was the number one guy. Do you think any 246 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: of these young guys really understand some of the viatrol 247 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: or between the team. No. I think they've seen it 248 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: on TV. I think they've seen it on social media 249 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 1: things like that. But until you're playing one, it's what's 250 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: it like. What's it like when you played Dallas for 251 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: the first time. It's like there's a there's an innate 252 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: level of hatred that just boils through your body, that 253 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: boils through your skin, and then it just levels right 254 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: when the game time comes. It reached that, it reaches 255 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: that boiling point of that pot, and it starts to 256 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: boil over when that ball is kicked off and that 257 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: game begins. Man, what Monday night against Dallas? IS's nothing 258 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: like Victor Cruz. We hope to see it there, Thank 259 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: you very much.
