1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants huts. Let's go. 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 2: Let's go. 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 3: Giants it out on the Giants Bubble. 4 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Give me some job, part of the Giants Podcast Network's role. 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Giants Huddle Podcast, brought to you by Citizens, 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 2: the official bank of the New York Football Giants. Madelenburg 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 2: here with the Super Bowl champion Sean O'Hara with a 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 2: Week fifteen rapid reaction as the Giants fault to the 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: visiting Baltimore Ravens. Thirty five fourteen is the final score, Shawn. 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: When we saw this game on the schedule, you knew 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: it would be a tough one, especially the way that 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have been playing this season. 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: What are your initial takeaways from the way that this 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: one went down. 15 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, playing the Baltimore Ravens coming off of bye is 16 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: not always the best recipe for a win, but just 17 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: kind of knowing offensively how good they've been on the 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: ground with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson, that one two 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: punch alone is that's a tough out and it's a 20 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: tough offense to really slow down. You're not going to 21 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: stop them, You're just trying to contain them. And I 22 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: think the big thing this year that's really been pretty 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: impressive is how Lamar is throwing the ball. I mean, 24 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: coming into this game, he would led the NFL in 25 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: passer rating. I don't think anybody predicted that. So he's 26 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: having another MVP type season. When you couple that with 27 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: the power of Derrick Henry and then you know what 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews and Rashad Bateman and Zay Flowers bringing to 29 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: this passing game. This was a huge task for the defense, 30 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: huge challenge. And look, they started off the game phenomenal. 31 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: Odorri Jackson gets a forced fumble, strips the ball out, 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: recovers in himself, and then they get a punt on 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: their next possession. So defensively, couldn't have started any better. 34 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: But the offense really struggled, and I think that's kind 35 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: of the way the game started kind of gave you 36 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of a sense as to how the 37 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: day was going to be. Offensively, they had back to 38 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: back three and ounce to start the game. Tommy DeVito 39 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: looked a little bit off, he missed a few throws 40 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and they just could not convert on third down. You know, offensively, 41 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: if you're going up against that, you've got to try 42 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: to keep pace. And the Giants were two for twelve 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: on third down today and that ended up being there undoing, right. 44 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: And Tommy Devido got the start for the Giants today 45 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: but late in the first half suffered a concussion. Tim 46 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: Boyle comes in in place the second half of the Giants, 47 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: so you see two different quarterbacks because again Drew Locke 48 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: earlier this week was in a boot with a heel injury. 49 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: He was out of the boot by game day, but 50 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: not healthy enough to be the backup quarterback. He was 51 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: the emergency third quarterback. So the Giants have a lot 52 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: of issues going on at the quarterback position too, a 53 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: lot of question marks. And you know, four quarterbacks throughout 54 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: the season have played for this Giants team. That's tough 55 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: to get the offense going in a consistent way in 56 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: any regard. 57 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Giants are in quarterback hell right now. And 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: that's this is not a position any NFL team wants 59 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: to be in. As you mentioned, Look, if your starting 60 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: quarterback is not available and you go to your backup, 61 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: you think that you have it rough. But now when 62 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: you're on your fourth quarterback, you know that's when things 63 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: are really tough, and it's tough to get that continuity. 64 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: It's tough to build that confidence, not just in the 65 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: play calling aspect, but confidence and rhythm with the quarterbacks 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: and receivers. So that kind of timing is always tough. 67 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: You know, you can't microwave it. So I think it's 68 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: you know, it was a shame to see Tom and 69 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: DeVito have to leave this game, you know, I know 70 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: he you know, he filled in, you know, as soon 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: as you know. Daniel Jones was no longer the starter, 72 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: and then he got hurt, could play in the Thanksgiving 73 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: Day game and Drew Locks hurt, So that quarterback carousel 74 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: is tough. De Vito, I know, we're not sure when 75 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: he got hurt, but he did get driven into the ground, 76 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: you know. But and it was a personal foul. I 77 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: don't know if it happened on that play or another play, 78 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: but you know, Brian Dable mentioned in his postgame press 79 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: convers how we kind of saw that that de Vito 80 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: was off, something was about it. So props to Dable 81 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: for realizing that and for getting him out just to 82 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: protect the player. I think that tells you a lot 83 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: about who Brian Dable is as a person. But then 84 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: for Tim Boyle, we were talking about him kind of, 85 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, out of the sides of our mouths this 86 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: this week, like, hey, you know who's the backup quarterback 87 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: if Drew Lock can't go? Okay, it's Tim Boyle. Who 88 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: is he? He's been here for a month. Maybe I 89 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: think what he was impressive. He went out there and 90 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: I was impressed with the fact that he got the 91 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: ball out like he was not going to take sacks. 92 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: He was not going to stand back there and get peppered. 93 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: And Baltimore did not call off the dogs like they 94 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: were bringing the blitz. They were right down to the end, 95 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: they were going blood zero, and he found a way 96 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: to get a touchdown pass out of it against that 97 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: said blood zero and found Lake Neighbors and put the 98 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: ball up where he could make a play and he 99 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: made him look good. So, you know, credit to Tim 100 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Boyle for how he handled it, and mentally he talked 101 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: about it after the game about how he went to 102 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: Brian Dable and said, look, don't baby me, no training wheels. 103 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: I want you to have the entire offense. I'm going 104 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: to learn this. You know, I don't want you to 105 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: hold my hand through it, And I think that that's 106 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: kind of shows you who he is and the competitor 107 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: that he is. 108 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: Get in here, if you're lined up here, you got 109 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: to go over the middle with at the score, right, 110 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 3: How do we make that happen? I don't know, but 111 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: citizen does it makes sense of your money with citizens 112 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: Official Bank of Eli Manning. 113 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, confident or confident competitor, especially in that situation because, 114 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: as he said after the this is the first time 115 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: being on the field today against the Ravens is the 116 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: first time that he's played with these guys. He's been 117 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: in and out of the practice squad, so it hasn't 118 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: gotten a lot of reps with the ones. He also credited, 119 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: you know, one of the first things out of his 120 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 2: mouth was credit to the offensive line because you mentioned, 121 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: you know, the Ravens they were feaking blitz is. They're 122 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: bringing pressure from all over. But the Giants offensive line 123 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: did a pretty good job recognizing this, and Tim Boyle 124 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: wanted to give them credit. 125 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you love a quarterback that shots out 126 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: his offensive line. But it was a tough defense to 127 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: decipher and sometimes you get to the line and you know, 128 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to trick you, they're trying to disguise things, 129 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: so you know, you have to be on the same page. 130 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, he probably hasn't had a lot 131 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: of reps with that offensive line and hasn't had a 132 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: lot of reps with John Michael Smith's schmids. So for 133 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: him to have that synergy and to be able to 134 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: have that trust and know that those guys are going 135 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: to pick up things and see things the way he 136 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: sees it, you know, that's encouraging. You know, you hope that, 137 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, as you continue to go down the road 138 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: here this this season, you hope that continues. You know, obviously, 139 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: when you're throwing the ball thirty seven times, you know, 140 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: I kind of let you know where you were at 141 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: in the game. They were trying to get back into 142 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: this game, so they probably threw the ball a little 143 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: bit more than they would have liked. But there's definitely 144 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: some positives to build on that absolutely. 145 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: Now From the Giants defensive perspective too, we talked about 146 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 2: how challenging this matchup was in the beginning. Lamar Jackson 147 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 2: twenty one of twenty five, two hundred and ninety yards 148 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: and five touchdowns, adding another sixty five yards with his 149 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: legs because after that Eagles game, his mom said to him, 150 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: I need to see you run more, and he listened. 151 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: But when you're looking at the way that this Giants 152 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: defense played, the numbers make it look so much more significant. 153 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 2: I think that the defense was able to get some pressure. 154 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: Dane Belton did a nice job of wrapping up Derrick Henry. 155 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: Mike McFadden was all over the field, and you see 156 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: these players kind of fighting and putting, you know, Brian 157 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: Burns because the sack. They had three sacks on Lamar today, 158 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: adri Jackson with the force fumble. The effort is there, 159 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: it's just not translating consistently on both sides. 160 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: Of the ball. Yeah, the effort was there, and I 161 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: thought they were very physical. Obviously Derek Henry, you know, 162 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: he did not have a monster game. Even though Baltimore 163 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: rushed for one hundred and seventy yards. As you mentioned, 164 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, I felt like a lot of those big 165 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: runs were Lamar and really Derek Henry was the decoy. 166 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: It really was third down that they struggle with. They 167 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: could not get Baltimore off the field, and it was 168 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: third down conversion after third down conversion, and I think 169 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: that's one of the things that really kind of wears 170 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: you down defensively. There were some it looked like there 171 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: was a lot of guys running wide open today. There 172 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: were so many times where Lamar would hit a guy 173 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone and there's nobody 174 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: within five yards of them, and so, you know, I 175 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: don't know if that's a bus at coverage. Is that 176 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: because everybody's keying in on the run game, that everybody's 177 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: selling out to stop the run and now you're a 178 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: little bit depleted in the back end. But I know 179 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: if you're playing a guy like Lamar Jackson, you're hesitant 180 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: to play man defense because you play man defense and 181 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: he scrambles and he runs around. Everybody's back is to 182 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, and now all of a sudden, you give 183 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: up that big quarterback scramble. So there was a lot 184 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: of a lot more zone defenses just that first glance. 185 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: And I think that Lamar, because he had time, he 186 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: was able to pick this def as a bar. So 187 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: that was really their owndoing. 188 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: If you want to know how to manage two minutes 189 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: of crunch time football, I'm your Matt. But if you're 190 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: wondering about a long term financial plan, you should talk 191 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: to citizens. Hey, I can also talk long care. I'd 192 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 3: like to learn about an Molli routine. Yes, I knew 193 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: I could help makes sense of your money with citizens well. 194 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: And he's also the type of quarterback that even if 195 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: he doesn't have time, he makes time. You know, he 196 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: can take a play and extend it with his legs 197 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: and with his mobility in that way. And that's exactly 198 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: what we saw so many times this afternoon. As again 199 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 2: the Ravens come away with a thirty five to fourteen 200 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: win at MetLife Stadium. But you know, the Giants falling 201 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: to two and twelve now on the season, and turn 202 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: the page to Week sixteen when they've got an Atlanta 203 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: Falcons team in Atlanta. They're on the road, They've got 204 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: three games left in the year. The Falcons are a 205 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: team that's got their own struggles going on right now. 206 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: They're playing on Monday Night Football against the Raiders this week, 207 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: so we haven't yet seen what their Week fifteen result is. 208 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: But you know, going into Week sixteen with questions on 209 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 2: how Kirk Cousins is playing, could we potentially see Michael 210 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: Pennix Junior. What are we expecting of this matchup as 211 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 2: the Giants continue to kind of put an end to 212 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: the bleeding and stop this losing streak. 213 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think for the Giants, you know, this is 214 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: a good opportunity. You're playing against the team in the 215 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons, who you know, as of right now have 216 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: lost four games in a row. Obviously Monday Night against 217 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: the Raiders will you know, be an opportunity for them 218 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: right the ship. But for the Falcons there are just 219 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: so many questions as there are answers for them. Obviously, 220 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has struggled and he's been giving up the 221 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: football a lot. A Takeaways has been something the Giants 222 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: have really been trying to add to some of their 223 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: production because they have struggled to get the football. They've 224 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: only got a couple of interceptions on the season. They 225 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: had a nice turnover today a takeaway by Dori Jackson, 226 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: But takeaways have been kind of a point of efasit so, 227 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin has not been protecting the football. But they 228 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: do have some really talented players and Bjon Robinson is 229 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: one of those guys. He's a tough tackle. He rarely 230 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: goes down on first contact, so again, offensively, it's going 231 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: to have to be one of those swarm efforts. Rally 232 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: to the football. Don't expect one guy to bring him down. 233 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: You've got to make sure that you tackle them by committee. 234 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: That will be first and foremost for the defense. For 235 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: the offense, whether it's Boilet quarterback, whether it's de Vito, 236 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: or whether Drew Lock comes back in, it's got to 237 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: be production on third down. You've got to keep this 238 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: offense on the field, keep the rhythm going and keeps 239 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: their defense fresh. Two and then finish drives. That's pretty 240 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: much been the model and the theme all year long 241 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: is can we score some points. We can't beat teams 242 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: by just kicking field goals. You're not gonna win many 243 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: games scoring fourteen points. They've got to do better. 244 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and the season rolls on with three games left 245 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: to go. But that's a wrap for our Week fifteen 246 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: Rapid Reaction, and again a reminder, The Giants Huddle podcast 247 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: is brought to you by Citizens, the official bank of 248 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: the New York Giants.
