00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of Papa's Perspective. I'm Bob Papa.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: On Monday Night, the Giants travel to Atlanta to take

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: on the Falcons. Yes, another primetime game for the Giants

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: play the Thursday night game at home against Philadelphia. Now

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: in front the entire nation, they go again against the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons team. This isn't the first time the Giants

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: have played the Falcons on Monday Night football. Way back

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: in two thousand seven, the Giants were victorious thirty one

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: to ten. But that doesn't really mean anything. And if

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: you watch Poppa's perspective over the years, you know that

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: one of the things I always says, You've got to

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: win at the point of attack. You know that's a given. Obviously,

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: the offensive line has to play better. You've got to

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: But it's not just the offensive line. The Giants need

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: the tight ends, the fullbacks, and the wide receivers to

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: participate in that run game. So many times you'll see

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: a receiver come in motion, comes set on the wing.

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: If they don't make that block, that creates a backside

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: lane for a defender to cut through and blow up

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: a running place, so everybody has to play their part.

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: And then on the other side of the ball, the

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: Falcons are in a great run team, but if you

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to it, they'll run the football. But

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: we all know that they want to pass. We all

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: know they want to throw the football with Matt Ryan,

27
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Mohammed Sin and all the weapons

28
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: that they have on offense. So yes, you've got to

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: win at the point of attack, but this game is

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: more about a fight and a will to win. This

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: team has done good things during the course of games,

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: but one in five is one in five and they

33
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: know it. And Giants head coach Pat Shermer is really

34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: pleased with the way his locker room has come together

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: through this adversity. The only way to get out of

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: this is all fifty three guys coming together and you

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: can't worry about the game. What you need to worry

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: about is each individual snap one by one and then

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you kind of stack him as the game goes on

40
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: and when the opportunity arises to make a big play.

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: Can't miss the thrower, can't miss the catch, can't miss

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: the block, and you can't miss the tackle and that's

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: my perspective. I'm Bob Papa
