Speaker 1: P to nine oh four six four four more details Paul.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: The Giants getting ready to take on the Washington Redskins

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: and MetLife Stadium, trying to even their record at two

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: and two. The Redskins come in at Owen three, but

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: they're a little bit better than what that Owen three

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: team that the Owen three record rather might indicate. Yeah,

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: I agree with you, John, especially on the defensive side

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: of the ball. They've got a lot of talent, and

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: especially up front well Montez Sweat in particular well, and

18
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: Doron Payne is a heck of a player too. By

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: the good player. Uh. We know that Ryan Kerrigan has

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: been around a long time and maybe maybe he's shown

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: somewhere on his tire, but Nonetheless, he can still occasionally

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: make some big ways. You don't sleep on here. Only

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: three games, small sample size, the drawndy conclusions. So in

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: any event, um, I'm with you, though I do believe

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: that you know very quote I hate to say this,

26
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: but dangerous own three team. It's the kind of own

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: three team you're not anxious to play, especially when the

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: defense could hurt you. And then in your division, yes,

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: and you know these division games only that U being

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: tight and they go down to the wire. The teams

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: of Raith the mow with each other, and nobody's gonna

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: have any surprises here. Now. The Giants maybe a couple

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: more because they have Daniel Jones, obviously only for a

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: second career start. But the two teams are very familiar

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: with each other. And let's start at the Redskins defense,

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: because you went there first. And yeah, you look at

37
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: their front. We talked about some of the names already.

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Karrigan sweats what I think has been better against the

39
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: run in the past this year, but still he's been good.

40
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Darn Payne has been excellent. Jonathan Allen's coming back from

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: a knee injury. He should be a full goal this week.

42
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: He has not been on the Redskins injury report, and

43
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: the front strong. The problem is they only have I

44
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: believe four sacks on the year. Uh, they blitz a

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: decent amount, but they're not getting home. So combine that

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: with the fact that the guys in their secondary not

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: playing well. Josh Norman seems to have taken a bit

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: of a step back, some of his speed seems to

49
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: be gone. Their safeties aren't the best in coverage. They

50
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: lost Zack branded linebacker, and their linebackers have been unimpressive

51
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: so far this year. And you get a defense that's

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: allowing opponents to convert sixty three or sixty four percent

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: of the time on third down, worse than the league

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: on third downs and seven or more yards. It's a

55
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: horror show for them on third downs, which is why

56
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: then one of the worst time of possession teams in

57
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: the league. Bus their defense can't get off the field.

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: There is a dichotomy when you look at this Redskins

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: defense because you mentioned their secondary, which I think is

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the weakest part, at least based on the first three

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: games they've played this year. Hard to argue with that. Okay, however,

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: they're also giving up a hundred and forty two yards

63
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: a game on the ground and almost five yards to carry. Yeah. Okay,

64
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: so you say to yourself, well, you really rather do

65
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: well on first down and second down because you don't

66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: want to put yourself on a throat in long spot

67
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: because that front can be pretty difficult to deal with.

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: But then you say to yourself, the front may be difficult,

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: but if we can kind of hold up, we can

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: shred the switch secondary. So it leaves you with a

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: very hefty dilemma. Do you decide that you're just gonna

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: try to run rough shot over a defense that has

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: not proven it can stop the run, or do you

74
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: take your chances against the front thinking that you will

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: dice and slice the secondary to ribbons. I'm not sure

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: which way the Giants will decide to proceed, but I

77
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: will say this, John, Okay, you can't just fall asleep

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: on this team, because if you do, they've got guys

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: who can step up and make a play in a

80
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: spot that could ultimately cost you a game. Here's a

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: stat courtesy of Pro Football Focus that I found amazing. Okay,

82
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: and I mentioned how they are, The Redskins are allowing

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: fifty three percent conversions on third down and seven or

84
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: more yards. Okay, in those situations opposing quarterbacks Paul our

85
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: fifteen of sixteen throwing the ball for two hundred seventy

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: two yards and three touchdowns. Well, they've given up four

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: touchdown passes of twenty plus yards and quite frankly sold

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the Giants. But to give up fifteen of sixteen completions

89
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: on third and six or more a seven or more

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: is insanity. It's big place city, right, big place city.

91
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: And you would think Evan Ingram Stirling Shepherd and can

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I start to throw out that named Darius Slayton. Not yet.

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm not glad you do it yet. Please note I

94
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: need one more game against the Vikings. One game does

95
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: not a career make. I really like that game, so

96
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: why I think he's really good? I agree, But I'm

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: not like you don't have to one game. I'm not

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: gonna let you'd be one of the caller to have

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: to yell at all. Right, I'll hold my horses, but

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: don't be surprised. And Slatan is the kind of guy.

101
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: Let me just make something very clear about how I

102
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: feel about him. He's the kind of guy who's not

103
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: going to catch ten passes for a hundred and sixty yards.

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy who's going to catch three

105
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: or four balls for like ninety yards, which is kind

106
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: of a manning him used to be. He was never

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: made a lot of catches down the field. Very good point,

108
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: and they could be very important catch. And by the way,

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: I think that's how Slaton's career might start. I think

110
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: he has the potential would be a guy that can

111
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: make plays all over the field. Though he may be

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: at some point, but right now I see him as

113
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: that selective big play guy. Here's the funny thing, Paul,

114
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: and this goes back to your point of a big place.

115
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: So on passes that travel twenty one yards are more

116
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: in the air redskin opposing quarterbacks. Having a hundred and

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: twenty nine and a half quarterback rating. However, they've only

118
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: allowed seven passes for twenty or more yards, which is

119
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: tied for fewest in the league. Right, which is another dichotomy, right,

120
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: because they don't have success stopping the deep pass, yet

121
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: they have not given up a lot of them. You know,

122
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: they play almost completely single high defense. They're in manner

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: or Cover three most of the time, man almost of

124
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: the time. So you have a single, high deep and

125
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: usually when you do that, you're susceptible to some big play.

126
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: So we'll see if the Giants can figure that out

127
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: and create a good balance. Because even though se Kwan

128
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: Barkley is not playing, and we've talked about this this week,

129
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: they're still gonna give Wayne Goldman his touches and his carries.

130
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: And he's a good downhill runner. He's not gonna, you know,

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: break these spectacular runs for a billion yards, but he's

132
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna get what's there and then he's gonna fall forward.

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: He's a good power runner. He's a slasher, is kind

134
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: of the style I would describe him as. And they'll

135
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: get they'll use the run too. And to me, this

136
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: is another game where I think the Redskins and I

137
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: guess we can switch gears here a little bit, Paul,

138
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 1: The Redskins can move the football case. Kingdom's passing stats

139
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: are actually pretty good this year. They can't run it.

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: They can throw it, right, Yeah, they've only run it.

141
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: I think of the time. This is a passing football team.

142
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: I remember, guys, they had the lead against Philadelphia in

143
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: the first half. They that the Giants secondary hasn't been

144
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: very good. Bingo they are within only one score of

145
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys at halftime of the game against Dallas. Now,

146
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: last week against Chicago, they couldn't protect case Keenum, so

147
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: the thing fell off the rails. They turned it over

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and it was really ugly, really quick. That's gonna happen. Sometimes.

149
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: The Bears defense is phenomenal, it's one of the best

150
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: in the league. But this team can move the ball. Now.

151
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: Keenum might put the ball in some danger sometimes squeezing

152
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: it where he shouldn't, but they can move the ball

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: through the air. You know. Coming out of the draft,

154
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I really like mclarenet of Ohio State. I thought, you know, well,

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: he he was. He was my one of my favorites.

156
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: You know that. I know that too. I'm not saying otherwise,

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: but but I was really really surprised. I think they

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: got him in the third round, did they not? I

159
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: thought fourth? Was it even that? Log? And I talked

160
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: to Grant Haley and Jabril Peppers about him this week

161
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: because Haley had a chance to oppose him once when

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: he was at Penn State, and of course McLaren's out

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: of Ohio State, and Pepper's opposed him once when he

164
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: was at Michigan, and both of those guys said, no, no, no, no,

165
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: they knew, they knew. Both said that he has improved

166
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: dramatically as a route runner since he got to the Redskins,

167
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: but both of them said that they were well aware

168
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: of him coming out of school and knew he was

169
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: going to be a pro receiver. Very impressed with his quicks,

170
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: his route running, his ability to get open in the

171
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: third round. You're right, very very good receiver and a

172
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: guy who can burn you. Look, he's got speed man,

173
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: and they've they've often quoted the stat this week on

174
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: all the National Outlets. Um first receiver in NFL history

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: to have at least five catches and a touchdown in

176
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: each of his first three career games. Think about that.

177
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: The league's a hundred years old, John Well. Touchdowns are tough.

178
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: I get it, but he's still done something that nobody

179
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: has ever done. And how many receivers have played in

180
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: this league a hundred years. And what I liked about

181
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: him to coming out, and it's true now seeing him

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: in the NFL pall he can do a lot of

183
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: different things. I've seen him catch back shoulder, He's run

184
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: deep posts and gone behind people. He runs slants, he

185
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: gets inside, he's made contested catches, he's shown strong hands,

186
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: he's shown a little bit everything, so he's a good receiver.

187
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: Paul Richardson is a veteran, he's been the leagual long time.

188
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: He can do a little bit on the other side.

189
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: And then you have Chris Thompson coming out of the

190
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: backfield who he used as a receiver, and Vernon Davis

191
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: is now really their only tight end they'll play. How

192
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: about this of their one hundred eighty one offensive snaps

193
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: this year, Paul, they've run a hundred and sixty one

194
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: out of eleven personnel, So they are almost a completely

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: three wide receiver, one running back team. Because that juring

196
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: reed injury, they can't go twelve anymore. So Vernon Davis

197
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: is pretty much their one tight end that they play.

198
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that. Adrian Peterson was so

199
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: dominant with the Vikings coming out of one back set,

200
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: and so many people said, well, you know when he

201
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: was set free and he was looking for a team

202
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: to play for, Oh, you know, he's gonna have to

203
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: go to a team that goes with the three wide

204
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: receivers because he's a one back offensive threat. He's not

205
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna be able to work out of an eye with

206
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: a full back or an h back. He's got to

207
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: be in the backfield by himself. That's what he does. Okay.

208
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: So finally he lands with the Redskins and has a

209
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: good year. Last year, I think we would agree solid seat.

210
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: Not a superstar season anymore, but a solid season. I

211
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: would say he's a below average starter. Okay. So in

212
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: any event, certainly burned the Giants last year. You remember

213
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: he put the nail on the coffin and at Life

214
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Stadium with that big run when he was able to

215
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: break free. No, he can still run the football, Okay,

216
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: So anyway, what happens, Well, now the Redskins are having

217
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: trouble blocking it because they've got three fifths of their

218
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: offensive line or subpar, and they're averaging less than three

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: yards to carry on the ground. Peterson has less than

220
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: seventy yards rushing through three games, and as a team.

221
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think that it's the longest run twelve yards,

222
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: and the season it's eleven yards by Thompson. Peterson himself

223
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: only has a ten yard run as his season long.

224
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: So this team not only has committed to the past,

225
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look like there's anything about their running game, John,

226
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: that could even make you honest No, I think right,

227
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say dare them to run it, but

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: I think you have to almost dare them to run

229
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: it at this point because they just don't want to

230
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: do it and they haven't been effective at it. And

231
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: generally speaking, Paul, they don't make big plays. You mentioned

232
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 1: their runs, Um, let's see where's the running place here?

233
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Plays over twenty yards only of nine all year. That's

234
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: tied for the league. The only if two runs of

235
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: ten yards or more like you mentioned second fuse in

236
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: the league. Completions over twenty yards only nine, which is

237
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: tied for This is an offense that you know, bas

238
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Kino doesn't have a big arm. He's smart, he knows

239
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: where to go with the boat, doesn't have a big arm.

240
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: They're not gonna make these big plays down the field,

241
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: have these chunk plays in the running game. They're gonna

242
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: very slowly and methodically moved the ball. They have the

243
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: second most ten play drives in the NFL this year

244
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: because of that reason. So how many times do you

245
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: think in Adrian Peterson's career he has heard opponents experts

246
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: talk about, well, we'd rather have them run it. Not much,

247
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: not much. I mean, it's it's a it's a very strange,

248
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: uh piece of steak to chew on right now, going

249
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: up against this Redskins team. Yeah, and then you look

250
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: at the offensive line and that's a little counterintuitive as well,

251
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: because you don't have Trent Williams is holding out a

252
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: left tackle Eric Flowers as your left guard. When I

253
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: watched him on tape, it was the right side of

254
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: their offensive line that had the most problems. He hasn't

255
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: exactly played great either. No more Flowers. Yeah, there's only

256
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of five hurries, not one sack, not one

257
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: quarterback hit. He's been better than I think you thought.

258
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: He's been better than I thought. I watched every snappy talk.

259
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: He's better than you know what. He doesn't do he

260
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: gets no push. I'm telling my past protection. Oh well

261
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: that's different. Well what well, what was this problem here? Yeah?

262
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: But past protection is always more important, you know that. Yeah? Yeah,

263
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: but but for me, he has killed him in protection.

264
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Though for me it's important for an offensive line. Two,

265
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: I like to say own and dominate the line of scrimmage.

266
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: You gotta win the trenches. Eric Flowers right now with

267
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: the Redskins, and this is probably all you can expect

268
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: him to do because he has such a limited ceiling.

269
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: Is can you hold the line of scrimmage? And that's

270
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: all he can do. He's not He's not gonna make

271
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: anybody take a step back before before the season. If

272
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: I would have told the Redskins or you, if you're

273
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: working for the red Skins that through three games, Eric

274
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Flowers are out of a lot of quarterback hit or

275
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: sack and only five hurries, you would have signed your

276
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: name to that document so fast. I wouldn't even be

277
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: able to stop you as badly as they needed offensive lineman. Probably,

278
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: but let's not forget he did have that one stretch

279
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: with the Giants like three years ago where he went

280
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: eight games without allowing a sack, which I thought was

281
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: the best stretch of his entire career. Anyway, the point

282
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: I was making is that they've had issues on the

283
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: right side of the line. Morgan Moses, who has actually

284
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: been a pretty good player in years past, he's been

285
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: he's not playing well at all, not right now, not

286
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: playing well at all. And him and Brandon Sheriff and

287
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: issues passing stunts off and things like that. Sheriff has

288
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: been hurt this week. He's a scractice yet I don't

289
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: think he's gotten the Friday report yet when we do

290
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: give it to you. But that's been an issue too

291
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: that or he's not maybe healthy. And Chase Roulier has

292
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: not practiced or starting center. He's had some misues this

293
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: year in protection. So their offensive line, which has been

294
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: pretty good in the past Paul has not been great,

295
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: especially in their last game against the Bears on Monday night. Well,

296
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: consider this, Okay, we always talk about the offensive line

297
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: being the foundation, and certainly I'm the champion of offensive lines.

298
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Uh you look at this division, shim Okay, the Eagles

299
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive line still good, but maybe not quite as good

300
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: as it was. The Cowboys offensive line still very good,

301
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: but maybe not quite as good as it once was.

302
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: The Redskins offensive line, and my mind, has taken the

303
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: biggest hit of any team in the division over the

304
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: course of time, especially with the Trent Williams situation. There's

305
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: no doubt tremendous hit to them. And the Giants offensive

306
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: line certainly has gotten better. So that's where I going

307
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: into the season. And I know it's just one position, John,

308
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: But I was very headstrong and saying the Redskins are

309
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: the number four team in this division. They were the

310
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: last placed team. I thought so too coming into the year.

311
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: I was with you on that, and I'm not changing

312
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: a couple of tweets and when they we'll do some

313
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: bookkeeping here in relation to the tweets from Dan Stevens

314
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: that the Giants on any fridge and running backs who

315
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: will be in the backfield. Thanks, Well, late yesterday they

316
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: did elevate John Hilliman from the practice squad, so he

317
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: will be the third or fourth running back depending on

318
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: how you classify. Alijah Penny on the roster on Sunday,

319
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: and Russell Shepard, who injured his foot last week, had

320
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: to be put an injured reserve, so that might help

321
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: solve the Giants wide receiver issue when they bring Golden

322
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Paint the Golden Tate off of suspension after this game. Well, actually,

323
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: you're right, there are four running backs, but Barkley will

324
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: be inactive, so there'll be three active running backs Penny

325
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Goldman and Hellman said. He said, depending on how you

326
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: count Penny. No, but even even if you count penment

327
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: is only three you're right. My fault three. Um, here's

328
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: the thing. I just got done talking to Hellman, and

329
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he will play or how

330
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: much he will get. The by the way, is it

331
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: is it Hellman or Hillman? It's Hellman. That's what I thought. Okay,

332
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. And here's the thing about him.

333
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Uh had a nice camp. I think made it very

334
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: close in terms of trying to take a spot from

335
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: from Perkins or Goldman. Well, the mere fact you put

336
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: himself in the conversation with those guys as an undrafted

337
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: free agent and credit to no question. And and two

338
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: weeks in a row during the preseason, he plowed in

339
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: for a power touchdown near the goal line. So he

340
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: showed that he can run with some strength and keep

341
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: up with the folks in the NFL, and he's not

342
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: afraid to stick his shoulder down there and grind it out.

343
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: And he also showed that he's a very heady ball player.

344
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: So I think the Giants was smart to keep him

345
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. I still think it's a shame

346
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: they lost Paul Perkins, because I'd be I'd feel better

347
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: about their situation if Paul Perkins were here because of

348
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: what he had accomplished and being a veteran as he was.

349
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: But I do think that Hillman is a competent backup.

350
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you rely on him in

351
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: this game. He'll be active, for sure. Coach Sherman always

352
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: says to us, don't forget about Elijah Penny. He can

353
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: run the ball. How many times does he tell us that,

354
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: bail billion? Yeah, so, so I don't expect Goalman to get,

355
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five carries and be a bell cow.

356
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: I certainly think he'll be the leading ball carrier. He's

357
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna be the starter back there. But would not shock

358
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: me if al Ja Penny wound up with eight to

359
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: ten carries in this game. And I don't know that

360
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: that leaves any room for him. I mean, he may

361
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: not even play. He may just be active and not play.

362
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: But I just caution you folks to think that. And

363
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: I don't think any of you are thinking that Goldman

364
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: is going to step into Barkley shoes and then he's

365
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the bell cow. I don't think that's gonna happen.

366
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: I think Penny's gonna get his share. I think Goldman

367
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: will get between fifteen and twenty touches. I've been telling people.

368
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 1: I thought, so we're pretty but how many touches has

369
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: Barkley gotten the first few weeks. Not nearly as many

370
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: as most people would like, No, but right in that range. Right,

371
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: So I think he's I think he's gonna get almost

372
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: identical to the worklord, that Barkley guy. I don't think

373
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: he will be as involved in the passing game as

374
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: Barkley was. I agree with that too, and that will

375
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: subtract from the touches from the position. Okay, So with

376
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: the Giants this week, if we didn't mention the actual

377
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: guys that are out, it's Barkley, Tay Davis, and Ogletree.

378
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: They will not play this week, all but Tree with

379
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the hamstring. Davis suffered the concussion last week. Barkley is

380
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: the ankle. No one is doubtful known as questionable, which

381
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: means Benny Fowler is good, Cody Latimer is good. So

382
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: they'll be on the field, which is good news for

383
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: the Giants. And I just got redskins injury from Rhannon

384
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: Walker who covers them for the Athletic d c out

385
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed, center Chase Rulier, which means they're starting center

386
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: this week will be Tony Berkstrom, who actually did start

387
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: some games from them last year, so he's someone that

388
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: I started some games. Questionable Brandon Sheriff and Terry McLaurin,

389
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: who was limited in practice yesterday with a hamstring injury. Again,

390
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: I was counting. I would expect both those guys. I'm

391
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: counting on both of them playing. This is an OW

392
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and three team divisional matchup. If those guys can walk,

393
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: they're getting on the field. Interest make Laurence a hamstring?

394
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: What's Sheriff? I think an ankle. He's an ankle. He

395
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: got on the fourth from yesterday is an ankle? Thank you?

396
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: So hey. I'll tell you one thing, um, This Giants

397
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: team is loose. We've been in that locker room all week, John,

398
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think they're overconfident. I don't

399
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: think they're whistling past the graveyard thinking that they got

400
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: to win in their pockets and everything's gonna be great

401
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: now that I don't think. So that doesn't mean they're

402
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna win, no, no, no, But I like the attitude

403
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: of the approach. I'm not sensing any sense of cockiness

404
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: from this team. Understanding that they escaped with I'm winning

405
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay didn't exactly maul the Buckinghers to one that

406
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: they did not four or five one three. Big Blue

410

Speaker 1: four six four for more details. Let's do your calls

411
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: at to five one three. Start with Don down in Texas.

412
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: He'll lead us off. What's up, Donnie, Hey, John, how

413
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: you doing? Dot ap dot? If he doesn't want to

414
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: talk with you about slay And, I'll salivate over him

415
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: with you, Okay, I will be no, no, no, no,

416
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: no no no. Hold on, I'm happy to talk about Slayton.

417
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm not well. I'm not willing to start to talk

418
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: to him like he's Sterling Shepherd or Golden Team. That's

419
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I'm still going to salivate over that. Okay,

420
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one more piece of candy to

421
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: salivate over with Slayton. He really seems to have a

422
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: level head on his shoulders and very much a football mature,

423
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: if you will, because he understands some of the finer

424
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: points of the game. We've we've seen that, and not

425
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: only practice when we have had him on the field here,

426
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: but also in speaking with him, you can tell that

427
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: he has an appreciation for all the little things. And

428
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: of course the block he made on the Evan Ingram

429
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: seventy five yard catch and run was just a beautiful

430
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: football play. Any wide receivers coach in this league would

431
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: would just love to show that film to his other

432
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: receivers to say, look, you don't have to catch the

433
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: ball to make a big play. That's Austin Pete. Good

434
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: slice of humble pie on that young man. That's what

435
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: I like to hear. So yeah, I really called about

436
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: the linebackers. But let me get back to Slayton really quick. Pete,

437
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: do I agree with you? He is a vertical threat.

438
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: Each of these receivers bring a different element to him,

439
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: but Slayton's job is to go vertical, make the defense

440
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: get back. There's two plays where you saw it. The

441
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: one you just mentioned be that where Ingram does the

442
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: crossing route. If you look at the start of that play,

443
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: Slayton's running a fly pattern, bringing both of those safeties

444
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: all the way back, bringing Ingram's a crossover and ironically,

445
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: who's the last receiver blocking at the end of that play.

446
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: It's Slatin. That's the vertical threat that he brings. The

447
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: other one was the deep post that he caught when

448
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones broke pocket he beat a cover two. That's

449
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: that's the threat of Slayton. I like him a lot

450
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: fitting in this offense. Also, want to such base about

451
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers. Guys talking me down a little bit. I

452
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: was a little nervous about our linebackers without the injuries.

453
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Now with the injuries, I'm a little nervous. Who's backing

454
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: up stoopar? I mean, this guy couldn't pull a flag

455
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: and flag football in in preseason. And I just had

456
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: one question of what your experience with pass players who leave?

457
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Does the team go the extra mile to kind of

458
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: go at their weaknesses like a land in Collins And

459
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: I'll take my answer off the air. Guys appreciate it, Paul,

460
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: don't you take that one? Which one the linebacker of

461
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Atlantic Collins? Well, if you want to, I'll take the

462
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: land in Collins one if you like. WHOA, how about that?

463
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 1: Can we dropped them? Love place? Here we go? Uh,

464
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: Here's here's what you have to remember about players when

465
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: they go to different teams. There's a book on every

466
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: single player when he plays in an organization. So every

467
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: Giant that leaves this locker room, he leaves behind a book,

468
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: so to speak, a footprint, not that he left it,

469
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: but they have a book on every player, so they

470
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: know every single one of his strengths and his weaknesses,

471
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: and they keep track of that. And when they write

472
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: up their scattered report off the film of what he

473
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: is doing for the Redskins, they will also keep in

474
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: mind and tell their offensive players in case, you know,

475
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: they weren't here, and a lot of them weren't. Okay,

476
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: this is what we know about the player. So it

477
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: always becomes part of the preparation when you face someone

478
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: who has played in your organization that's not uh isolated

479
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: to land in college. Yeah, I haven't seen him on

480
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: tape cover tight ends much down the field so far

481
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: this year. He's been playing much more up up in

482
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: the box. Yeah. But even when you're in the bottom

483
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to play man to man on the sand,

484
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: but he hasn't. He hasn't really done that so differently

485
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: than the Giants did. Yeah, I mean they are. They

486
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: are playing the linebacker level, though he's not very often

487
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: at all, Like we did him for strategy this week,

488
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: and I gotta find Landing Collins plays. I found a

489
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: bunch of tackles in the run game. I couldn't find

490
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: hardly any coverage place for him, good or bad. To

491
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: be quite honest, they have limited that responsibility a lot

492
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: when you look at the clips, and I think maybe,

493
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: quite frankly, John, maybe they looked at a lot of

494
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Landing Colleges tape last year with the Giants and he

495
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: did have some trouble in coverage. Yeah, so it's gonna

496
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: be Connolly in Mayo. And then really, Stupar is your

497
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: next guy? Would you be surprised if he's still some

498
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: smaller nickel packages with peppers as a quasi linebacker. Reading

499
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: my mind, you're reading my mind? Or Michael Tychel Thomas,

500
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: That's that's who I'm thinking. I'm thinking the Giants because

501
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: of the fact that the Redskins have not shown much

502
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: in the run game. If I'm defensive coordinator James Betcher,

503
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: I am not afraid to go big nickel as they

504
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: like to call. Well, that would be a small nickel though, well,

505
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: because the Giants don't have they don't have the type

506
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: of safeties that would qualify as big nickel players, right.

507
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: But they don't have a safety that can cover in

508
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: the slot, right correct. I mean Michael Thomas has done

509
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: some of that, but not against the shift the slot guys.

510
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: More so against the bigger slot guys or the tight

511
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: end slot guys. It would actually be a big dime

512
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: because you would play six defensive backs, one of them

513
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: will be playing as a lineback, yes, in effect. And

514
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: I firmly believe I wasn't gonna say this because I

515
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: didn't want that strategy to get out there, but I was.

516
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you, John, I think that's exactly what's gonna happen.

517
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Not James Betcher strategy is what we're talking about. That

518
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: is true, We could be, but if it were me,

519
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I would absolutely positively go with the extra safety package.

520
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: And and this way, I again no disrespect to the

521
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: linebackers the Giants have. Connley is going to be on

522
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: the field all three downs. Okay, we know that he'll

523
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: have the communicator's helmet. Okay, that makes perfect sense. But

524
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: to me, the the other backer you're gonna see you'll

525
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: see Lorenzo Carter out there, okay, and you'll see Oshane

526
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: zimmen Is out there, and you'll see Golden out there.

527
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: But what we know is Golden's pass rusher. All three

528
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: of those guys a pass rushing. Uh. Carter will play

529
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: some of everything. Yeah, but he's in sub packages. He

530
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: has his hand in the dirty. But I think what

531
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: will happen is the Giants will play sub packages earlier

532
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: in the downs, but Carter will be on the field

533
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: and he will not be rushing. Do you think he's

534
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna play an inside linebacker spot? I think. I think

535
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: if you have Connolly and Carter on the field together,

536
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: I think about this. Think about this. If you go

537
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: with two backers, so you will put Zimmenez and Golden

538
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: on the two edges, and then you would have have

539
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: Carter as like in base as a line as as

540
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of a monster. You could do that. It's a thought. Yeah.

541
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: And and can I throw one more wrinkle in there

542
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: for you. I wouldn't be shocked to see Skipper get

543
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: some reps in there, not as a backer as a

544
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: stand up, but on the line. Yeah, he would have

545
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: to be an edge rusher, and I could see that happen,

546
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: and the Carter has the cover skills and space skills

547
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: to play as a non pass rushing linebacker. I think

548
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what I would do with him this

549
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: week to five on three Riches down in Tampa. He's

550
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: up next. Hey, rich Hey, the eight team on today.

551
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you guys. Hey, all right, two things.

552
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: One and you kind of were talking a little bit

553
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: about the running back situation because I think, um, you

554
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: know down here in Tampa, you know, Giants didn't win

555
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: that game according to Tampa. You know, Tampa lost that game,

556
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: so our defense still let us down in the final

557
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: for three years. Um, But the thing is running back.

558
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: We don't have Barkley what and we didn't pick up

559
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: anybody this week, so we're going with who we have

560
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: Goldman and and and the other guy Hillman. What do

561
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: you think they could do in the running game that

562
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: could somehow keep Washington honest? Because I I on their

563
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: defense because I don't think that's going in their game

564
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: plan will be to even even be concerned about the

565
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: running attack. So first, that's my first question regarding that.

566
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: We well, rich real quick, really easy, Richard, rich Richard,

567
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: just stay committed to it and run it well. I mean,

568
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: there isn't any fancy scheme or play call or anything

569
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: like that. You just have to make him respected by

570
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: running the ball while we're going the game. That's really

571
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: that simple. Here's what I think will happen, be successful

572
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: right the same. I agree with that. I don't know

573
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: if I'm confident they could do that, but we'll see.

574
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Uh So that's what that Thank you for that question.

575
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: Now Part two is the defense, and yes, the linebacker

576
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: the situation. I love Connolly and I think that he's

577
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: such a smart guy and I think that he could

578
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: hopefully make some good decisions for the team. But I

579
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: we need the defense to not be a sieve in

580
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: the first half. Again this they and they're doing that

581
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: at all ever for last three games. They made a

582
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: somewhat of adjustments perhaps in the last second half last

583
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: last week, but we need them to be decent at

584
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: least in the beginning because nothing's gonna give Watch the

585
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: line was three or three and a half two and

586
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: a half now, I mean, nothing will be more confident

587
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: building for Washington to come out and just be able

588
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: to go right down a field on us. And and

589
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm I don't have confidence. I don't really don't have

590
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: confidence in our defense, but I'm hoping, and we need

591
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: them to make plays in the beginning of the game,

592
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: not just after the first half or possibly on the

593
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: on the end of the game. We need it in

594
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: the beginning for a change. Do you think is that

595
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: too much to ask? I hope not. Thanks, ch appreciate

596
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: the call, I hope not. Every defensive player and coordinated

597
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: James Batcher have talked all week about having a better

598
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: start then they've had in the first three games of

599
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: the season, So clearly you're not exactly exposing a secret.

600
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: But here's here's the one thing that I want to say, also, John,

601
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: I also believe that if the Giants are going to

602
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: build anything off of what happened last week, not only

603
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: did the defense do better in the second half, but

604
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: let's not forget the offense and the passing offensive, particular

605
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: of Daniel Jones was really was really clicking. And he's

606
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's making his first home professional start.

607
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: I would say to you, for his sake, for his

608
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: confidence sake, and for the Giants overall sake, that the

609
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: Giants offense actually gets off to a good start, because

610
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: if he struggles in the first quarter, if he struggles

611
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: in the first half and then suddenly has to play

612
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: from behind a second week in a row, he may

613
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: not get the same results he got in Tampa. Yeah,

614
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: and the one thing he did really well in Tampa

615
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: Paul is play well under pressure in terms of when

616
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: he was facing pressure. Yes, and that is something that

617
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: can change. Can be very volatile from week to week

618
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: in season the season, So can that continue. We'll see.

619
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, but you're right,

620
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that's gonna come down

621
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: to protection because I think if Jones has time in

622
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: this game, he's going to figure out ways to pick

623
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: apart that Redskins secondary in linebacker corps, he will be

624
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: able to do it. I have a lot of confidence

625
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: in that. The question is can they keep that Redskin

626
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: defense on off of them long enough? And remember, he

627
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: will hold the ball now a little bit. That was

628
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: one thing he did last week. He held the ball

629
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: a little bit too. Oh yeah, sure he did. And

630
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: that then that goes back to, you know, some of

631
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: the pocket present stuff someplace he had phenomenal pocket presents.

632
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Read the rush stepped up get out of the way

633
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: other plays. It's like he had no idea the rush

634
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: was coming. He has to grow into this. He's a joy.

635
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: He used to get better at these things correct first.

636
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: So but my point though, is that given the strength

637
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: of the Redskins defensive line in front, that's going to

638
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: be a key to getting him going this week is

639
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: getting in the protection needs up front. If he gets that,

640
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a lot of success. Yeah.

641
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: I truly believe that the smoother the offense is early

642
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: in the game, the better off it's going to be

643
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: for him because there will be less chances for the

644
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: Redskins to try to shake him up with their potential

645
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: pass rush. And Paul, how about the luxury of playing

646
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: with the lead for once, where where a team doesn't

647
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: think you have to pass it does that and you

648
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: actually can, you know, be up seven and run play

649
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: action on first down and then people are actually fooled

650
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: by it because they're not worried about you running it

651
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: down fourteen in the third quarter. Look here, here's the

652
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: bottom line. It's gonna happen at some point in time.

653
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: You would hope it doesn't happen this week at home

654
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: against the red Skins because they are a team that's

655
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: struggling right now. But it could come against Minnesota next week.

656
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far ahead, John, but

657
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: it could also come in Foxboro in two weeks. By

658
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: the way, the Giants history against the Vikings defense, no

659
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: matter where they is not good, no matter who the

660
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: quarterback is other than Kerry Comins. That's true, okay, especially

661
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: in playoff games. Yes, yes, So my point to you is,

662
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: at some point in the next several weeks, Daniel Jones

663
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: is going to have a very difficult game. It's gonna happen.

664
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: It's inevitable way, it's gonna happen next year to everyone

665
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: thought Baker May if he was also heading into this year. Huh, exactly,

666
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: how's he looked the first three weeks? You know, Bill

667
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Parcel has always told us, but the young quarterbacks, you

668
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the young quarterback until he has

669
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: that first three game losing streak, or until he has

670
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: that first three or four interception game. Because they were

671
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: inevitable they are going to happen. And that's why Parcels

672
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: love Troy Aikman when he came out of U C.

673
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: L A And Dallas drafted him. I'll never forget. Bill

674
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: was sitting at the back of the table down to

675
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: the old Giant Stadium press women. He was fellas. He

676
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: was mad, puffing on his cigar, puffing on his little cigarette,

677
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: fellas des Troy Aikman. I let me tell you something,

678
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: He's going to be the next one. He knew, Parcels knew.

679
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: And that first year when Aikman was just getting beaten

680
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: to just Ribbon, they were dreadful and he was having

681
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: a tough time. But Bill saw stuff and him through

682
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: the adversity, through the misery that he was sure that

683
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: the way he was getting through the swamp, that he

684
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: was going to come out of it okay. Because that's

685
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: how you find out about the best players, specifically the

686
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks, how they deal with the worst moments that

687
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: they're going to have to face. And Daniel Jones is

688
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: going to face some tough times at some point. Did

689
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: you see the Tray Akman tweet from last week? Yes?

690
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: I did. I didn't see it. I heard about it.

691
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: For the folks that didn't see it, um very innocently.

692
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: He wasn't trying to call it, not at all. And

693
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: by the way, Aikman wasn't trying to call the player

694
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: out either, But quarter that covers for for the athletic

695
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: that covers the Chiefs just sent that a pretty innocent

696
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 1: tweet that through his first season or nineteen games, however

697
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: games Mahomes just played so far on Pace four, he

698
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: already has a third of the touchdowns that Traigman had

699
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: in his career. And that's it. He wasn't taking a

700
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: shot at Aikman. He wasn't doing any of that statistical

701
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: comment correct and then, and he wasn't wasn't even like

702
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: attached on the tweet. But I guess it was brought

703
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: to his attention, so he retweets it and goes come

704
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: back to me when he was a third of my

705
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl titles. And again, I don't think Troy was

706
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: taking a shot at that either, But I think it's

707
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: a it's just a commentary on how a lot of

708
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: the older quarterback statistics it's hard to put them in

709
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: the context because the game was played so much differently.

710
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: Like if you put Troy Aikman a time machine and

711
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: you put him in the offenses today with all the

712
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: time they're throwing the ball on all the rules, with

713
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: what you can do to wide receivers and what you

714
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: can aikman would be he be one of the top

715
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league and throwing for bajillion yards and

716
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: chucking the ball over the yard. And by the way,

717
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes really hasn't had one of those face the music

718
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: kind of games. He really for the most part, for

719
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: the most part, even his down games have been good.

720
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: And so he hasn't had a face the music type

721
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: of game or streak. You know what, he might not

722
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: and well and maybe he won't, and so you know,

723
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: we won't have to find out how he deals with

724
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: those things and how you can grow and mature for

725
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: those things. But he also had the benefit of sitting

726
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: for a year. Correct, that's also true, which which again

727
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 1: is always a benefit for a rookie quarterback. Lenning, Columbia

728
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: Maryland is up next day. Len, how are you doing, guys?

729
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: You're coming up? Hey, paul a real a real quick one. Um.

730
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: You were talking about LT last week and one of

731
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: the games you were referring to, the New Orleans game

732
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend. I was, I was in the Superdome. You

733
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: went to the game. You are absolutely right, No words,

734
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: no words describe LTS performance at night and just just

735
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: shake your head. I'm glad you're backing that. Thank you,

736
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: Jeff ru Letch to Stephen Baker for the win. Yes, yes,

737
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: uh uh, you know, um, this is this is this

738
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: is a big game. Um. I think you guys are

739
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of on the plane this. By the way, thanks

740
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: for the thorough um analysis of the Redskins. I appreciate that.

741
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: Were you down there, how did you seen him? I'm

742
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna try to I'm gonna I'm gonna simplify it for

743
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: you guys. Get the nose tackle blocked on offense. Don't

744
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: let don't let Davis get too many yards after the catch.

745
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: He's going to get his catches, tackle him, block the nose.

746
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: Block the nose tackle on offense. We're gonna be okay.

747
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: We're gonna be okay. I hope. So because this is

748
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: a big one, I think you guys are on the

749
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: plane this. Well. Let I will say this I real quick.

750
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: Before the year and I guess that baby should open

751
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: with this and I didn't before the year. I thought

752
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: it was essential for the Giants to have a competitive

753
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: season through the final months of the year. To start

754
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 1: the year at worst, two and two. So in that

755
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: way up, this is a very important game. I put

756
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: that in skywriter. I mean absolutely, we were in total

757
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: agreement on that. Three and one was the request, two

758
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: and two was the minimum. And they may get the

759
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: two and two this Sunday. And by the way, even

760
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: with that two and two, we gotta get it. Just

761
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: I hate to do this, but if you just think

762
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: about the loss one one in three, last place in

763
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: the NFC East, oh and two in the division, zero

764
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: in two at home. Yeah, a lot of bad things

765
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: about the stats, and you just think about the importance

766
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: of this ball seconds it really is. I mean, you know,

767
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: one in three the first quarter of the season, and

768
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: you know you extrapolate from that then you're four and

769
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: twelve and draft and fourth. I mean, you know, it's

770
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: it's time to win. And this when was the last

771
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: time we won two in a row? With you, I'm

772
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: with you. It's a big game, big game. The crowd's

773
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: going to be electric. Um, I mean, it's just it's

774
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: just perfect. God blessed Daniel. Hey, wouldn't it be great?

775
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, just just thinking about the future. If this

776
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: is the guy, just imagine ten to twelve year career,

777
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: from Daniel, we'd have had two quarterbacks in twenty seven years.

778
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, now you're talking young and Montana. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

779
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: you're getting up there. That would be just that would

780
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: be unbelievable. All the best of Daniel. Hope it works

781
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: out for him. Listen, I want to go on record.

782
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: I didn't do it, haven't called for a couple of weeks.

783
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: But I don't want to go on record. Uh, And

784
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it, and you guys

785
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it either. But I was

786
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: I was not pleased by the way that the thing

787
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: played out with Eli. I thought it was too quick.

788
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: But listen, I get it. We're passed it. We're on

789
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: the way, and you know, I hope. I hope the

790
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: guy stays healthy and you know, does well. And man,

791
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: let's win this game on Sunday. Come on, it's time

792
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: to you know, guys, when you evaluate you, you got

793
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: to evaluate on wins. Miss the Mars said it before

794
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: the season starts. This team's gotta win games. Come on, guys,

795
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: let's go Giants. Let's wind a ball game, particularly at home,

796
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: those home crowns. I want to be happy going down

797
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: to escalated John, all right, uh John, I was just

798
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: gonna speak to the mathematics of the situation. If you

799
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: discount the first place teams in every division, there is

800
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: only one wild card team at the moment that is

801
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: still undefeated. That would be the forty niners. That's three

802
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: and all. Huh okay, and they ever by this week too,

803
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: but they do, they do, so I think you the

804
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: Vikings are two and one, right, well, yeah, that's my point.

805
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: That's my point. Your your Rams are first place team

806
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: in the West three you know, tied with the forty nine,

807
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: and then in the South you don't have any undefeated teams.

808
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: You have the Lions the only undefeated team in the North,

809
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: and you have Dallas the only undefeated team in the

810
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: and they're undefeated, but they have a tie. And the

811
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: Packers are in second place at three and one. So

812
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: there's only two non division winners that only have one loss. Well,

813
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: and and that's why, well, the Vikings and Bears are

814
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: also two and one with the pack I'm sorry. My

815
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: point is there's only one non division leader that is

816
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: undefeated so far, so it's not like out of the

817
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: gate there's a quick separation, you know, in terms of

818
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: if if you want to stay in the wild card hunt. Okay,

819
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm going big picture here land just for you, because

820
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: I really don't want to talk about this very much.

821
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: But you addressed our earlier point that we made months

822
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: ago that you want to get two and two through

823
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: the first four and then play through a twelve games

824
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: schedule and see where it lands. Well, you know what,

825
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: at the moment, there are not a bunch of teams

826
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: in the quote wild card race that are running out

827
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: ahead of the pack. It's still kind of tight. So

828
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: if you can come out of this game against the

829
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: Red Skins with still only two losses, you still right

830
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: in that pack. As you're as you're you know, getting

831
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: to that first turn on the Thoroughbred racetrack. Big Blue

832
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: Kigo Live is brought to you by Corps Light entered

833
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: when the Ultimate v I P Game Day Experience courtesy

834
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: of Course Light. Text v I P to nine oh

835
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: four six four for more details. Will take three more

836
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: calls before we say goodbye today. Let's say what's up

837
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: two Eddie down in California? Eddie, what's up? Hey? Guys?

838
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: How are you doing? What's up? Hey? Um? So, clons

839
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: injury is gonna be for a couple of weeks. And

840
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: there's a two part question. Sure, probably more than a couple. Yeah,

841
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: unfortunately injury, like what's the best way to heal that

842
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: type of injury? And my second part of the are

843
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: the giants allowed to use CBD crean UH for his injury?

844
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: I know marijuana's illegal, but the CBD part doesn't get

845
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: you high and seems to stimulate UH to help bone

846
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: heal quicker and stronger after well Eddie. Luckily, Paul Latino

847
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: has gotten his metal medical degree in in the past week.

848
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: He's an expert on on all the rules in terms

849
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: of he actually has every illegal substance memorized from the

850
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: NFL's prohibited list. Uh. In all seriousness, I don't know

851
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: the answer to that. My guess is that if it

852
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: has that in it, it's probably not legal. But I

853
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that. I'm simply uh way

854
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 1: during a guess, I mean, look for a high ankle spraying,

855
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: you're looking at you know rest. First of all, you're

856
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: looking at the US to keep the swelling down. And

857
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: until he can see I mean, he still want to.

858
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't seen him today, but he's been

859
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: in a boot since the injury. He was on crutches

860
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: right after the injury. That's something that hasn't like hell naturally,

861
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a muscle where you can

862
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, massage the muscle and heat it and do

863
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: electrical stimulation on it. So this is spring ankle. It

864
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of just has to heal on its own. And

865
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: in regards to your question specifically, there were players multimillion

866
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: in dollard contracts at Steak who don't understand and don't

867
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,479
Speaker 1: know all the rules regarding what they can and cannot take.

868
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: So far be it from me, just the reporter sitting

869
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: in this room that's even going to take a flyer

870
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: of a guess about what is illegal or or legal

871
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: to take when it comes to medical improvements and uh

872
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: and medical uh medicines. I'm not touching that stuff. No,

873
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Chris and New Jersey, he's up next.

874
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: Hey Chris, Hey John, Hey Paul, thanks for taking my

875
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: call the time. Um, just the I called the other

876
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: day and I just wanted to give some props to

877
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: to a malign player that got a lot of heat

878
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: on him in that first game. I'm not saying he's

879
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: the next Renee Thompson. But uh, Antonio Hamilton's really fantastic

880
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: job on the punt coverage along with Cody Core. How

881
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: about the fact that the Giants have only given up

882
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: about two yards per punt return this year. How about

883
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: that that that that's that's Hamilton's, that's that's Core, that's

884
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas. These guys are really really good at punt coverage.

885
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: And can I not leave out Zach Diasci as well? Yeah,

886
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: absolutely is always the first one down there. And just

887
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: I know you got a couple of calls, just a

888
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: a quick question, ironically that first game, you know, you've

889
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: got to think the Bucks were going in there to say, hey, listen,

890
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: you know Daniel Jones, come and beat us. We're gonna

891
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: stop Barkley, which they did, and obviously we know what

892
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: Jones did in this game. Do you guys both feel

893
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: it's kind of a flip of the script where now

894
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: they're saying, you know what, let's not let Jones beat us.

895
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's let's keep our eye, let's keep our

896
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: focus on him with the game plan, and now let's uh,

897
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: let goalman beat us. What you're feeling on that, I

898
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: think it's different. I don't think there's any databout a Chris.

899
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: I think that's a good point. I look, our team

900
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: is gonna be as worried about Wayne Gollman as they

901
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: are about Sa Kwon Barkley. No, they're not. So that

902
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: that is another wrinkle for Daniel Jones this week, not

903
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: only not having se Kuan as a potential weapon out

904
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: of the backfield to do stuff with the ball, throw

905
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: it to just it will change how I think a

906
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: defense approach is the game. I think it absolutely well.

907
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Wing Colman can run between the tackles,

908
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: and I think that's an important part here because the

909
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: Skins rush defense is very weak, at least that's what

910
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: they've shown on tape. So you know, if you're the

911
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: Redskins and you decide that you're just gonna try to

912
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: load up and do everything you can to Daniel Jones,

913
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: well you've given up a hundred and forty two yards

914
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: a game on the ground. Win Goldman is an NFL back. Okay,

915
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: he's not Sa Kwan Barkley, but he's an NFL back.

916
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 1: Win Goldman could hurt them very dearly in the first

917
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: half of this game. If they fall asleep on him.

918
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: So I'll be honest. I look, you can't treat him

919
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: like Barkley. But I don't think you just worry about

920
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: Jones and say, you know what, we don't think the

921
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna want to bawl at all. Would be crazy.

922
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: That's not in the Redskins scheme. They want to play

923
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: landon Collins close is they want to play one safety high.

924
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: So I think just the nature of their scheme, Chris

925
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 1: will keep that seventh or eighth man in the box,

926
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: depending on if they're in sub package or base or whatever. Yeah,

927
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: thanks again, guys, catch us catch us some day. Thank you, Chris.

928
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: All right, By the way, those calls are very quick,

929
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: So if you guys want to squeeze in one or two,

930
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: you can give us a call to John. We'll Why

931
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: don't you go do him right now? Let's go to

932
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Scott in New Mexico. In the meantime, Scott, what's going on? Hey, guys?

933
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: How you doing? What's up? Question for you? Jake Bruten's

934
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: under a lot of heat in Washington. Uh, this is

935
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: a good possible he may not even finish out the

936
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: season if things continue as they are. So I'm wondering

937
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: are the Giants prepared if they do make a quarterback switch,

938
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: and there's been a lot of talk about doing that.

939
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: Do you think it'll be Colton McCoy or do you

940
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: think it will throw all cards in and Dwayne Haskins

941
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: will have his first start? And more importantly, is Betcher

942
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: and the Giant defense preparing because each quarterback obviously brings

943
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: something different to the table. So I was wondering if

944
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: that gives them enough time to prepare no matter who

945
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. That was just curious what you thought.

946
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Haskins is the number three. They've already made it clear

947
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: down there in Washington. Gruden has said that Colton McCoy

948
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: is his number two quarterback this Sunday. So if by

949
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: some stretch of the imagination, Keendom can't go, I mean

950
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: he's he's practiced yesterday. I know he had the boot

951
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, but but he's expected to be

952
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: the starter if he does get knocked out. Gruten's already

953
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: said that Colte McCoy's next up because he's got a

954
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: firmer grasp of the offense. So I'll be honest, I

955
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: don't even know if Haskins will be active. He might

956
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 1: be the quote third quarterback, which means he's not allowed

957
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: to come in unless the other two guys get hurt.

958
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: It's a good question. Yeah, I was just wondering because

959
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: obviously Pat Schremer is very familiar with case keenoms in Minnesota. Sure,

960
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: so he will know his tendencies and so forth. And

961
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: with Jake Bruten having allless pressure on him, a sort

962
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: of similar situation to what the Giants had, everyone's clamoring

963
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: for somebody else to play quarterback side. But to your

964
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: other well, to your other question though about in terms

965
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: of the scheme and what they run, the Redskins are

966
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: pretty solid in what they're doing. I mean I don't

967
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: see them very in a whole lot offensive air defense offensively, No, No,

968
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: they do what they're doing. Frankly. They they have a

969
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: nicely scheme little offense. I mean, they get guys open,

970
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna they're gonna try to just pass it,

971
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: pass it, pass it, and pass it, play action, play action.

972
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: That's it. And and they know they're not a good

973
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: running team. They understand that. So that's why they're gonna

974
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: go three wides, no matter whose quarterbacking and and they're

975
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: not gonna run a ton of read option because that's

976
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: not what they do. And they're not gonna run their

977
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: quarterback out of design runs. They're gonna drop back and

978
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to beat you through the air. Okay,

979
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: appreciate that, guys, you too. All right, let's go to

980
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: Andrea and Rochester. It will be our last call, and

981
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: then we'll hit up some tweets. Andrea, what's going on? Hey,

982
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: what's going on? Guys? Hi? I'll make this quick being

983
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: that the land mccollins will be playing near the box,

984
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: do you think they'll be doubling Evan Ingram with a corner?

985
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 1: And I'll take care of answer off here. Thank you, guys.

986
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good question. They haven't really been

987
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: torched by tight ends from I could tell so far

988
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: this year. Paul the Redskins um there are other safety Nicholson,

989
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: he'll play a little bit on tight ends. But I

990
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: think when they when they go man, that's gonna be

991
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: a matchup. I think the Giants should cover. I don't

992
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: think the Redskins have a player in the secondary that

993
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: can necessarily match up with him one on one. I

994
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 1: think Evan Ingram is gonna have a very big game.

995
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: I think so too. And again I'm gonna bring up

996
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton. I'm sorry, I know you want to hold

997
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: me back. No, you could say he's gonna have it. Okay,

998
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring up Darius Slayton, who I think because

999
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: of the single one on one matchups that he's likely

1000
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: to face, because I think they're gonna they're gonna have

1001
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: to try to double shepherd so or at least bracket him,

1002
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: I could see them try. I haven't done that in

1003
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: the first three weeks. Again, good wide receivers, I know,

1004
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: I know, but I think that they don't probably carry

1005
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: the same respect for Slayton as people in this building

1006
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: half for Slate. I wouldn't think so. I mean, he's

1007
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: a rookie. So so I'm gonna think they're gonna figure okay,

1008
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 1: you know what, we could probably and him and and

1009
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: I think that because of their single high safety concept,

1010
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to see a lot of

1011
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: doubles on on Ingram. And I think he will do well.

1012
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: I think they may zone him, but I think he'll

1013
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: do well because he can run through zones. And I

1014
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: think that Slayton is going to make some big plays

1015
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: in the game. All right, We got some tweets here, Paul,

1016
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: We have at Hicks zero to one. We kind of

1017
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: touched on this earlier, but we can go into it

1018
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: a little bit more to tell here if you like,

1019
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: any chance we see Lorenzo Carter at inside linebacker at all.

1020
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: Playing multiple positions at Georgia would not be out of

1021
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: his skill range. X Men and Golden would be the

1022
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: primary edge rushers. Look, he's shown the ability to cover

1023
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: and do things in space. He was a four or

1024
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: three off ball linebacker in college, so we can do

1025
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. He's not generally the the size

1026
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 1: and the build you're looking for out of an inside linebacker,

1027
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: but in passing situations, I don't know if I want him.

1028
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: You know, take it on guards pulling into holes necessarily

1029
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: as an inside linebacker, but as a cover guy because

1030
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: you stay end them up a little bit. And if

1031
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: if you're running nickel, you a four down lineman, you

1032
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: have two standing up linebacker. He's one of those two guys.

1033
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, I don't think that's out of

1034
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: the question. No, And quite honestly, if the Redskins get behind,

1035
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 1: you'll see a ton of Chris Thompson instead of ap Okay,

1036
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: Peterson is gonna be on the bench. Thompson's gonna come

1037
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: in and they're gonna want to get him the ball

1038
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: in the flat a lot, and they're gonna want to

1039
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: isolate him against the linebacker if they can on a

1040
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: short dump off. Well, I think that's where Lorenzo Carter

1041
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 1: can come in. I'll be honest with you. I respect

1042
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson, but I also have a great deal of

1043
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: regard for Lorenzo Carter and his length and his ability

1044
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: to cover, certainly within the short range. So I could

1045
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: see him doing that. Drew and North Carolina has two

1046
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: zar Skipper seen any action yet, practice or otherwise. Well,

1047
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: he's been practicing, obviously, he was a late add last week,

1048
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: so he wasn't ready to go. But if you do

1049
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: see him, as you mentioned before, Paul, he's gonna be

1050
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: a guy you're gonna put on a straight line to

1051
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: the moll. It's not straight line, but you know, go

1052
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: get the quarterback. We're not gonna ask you the whole

1053
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: lot more at this point, totally agree, and I would

1054
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 1: actually try to get him some more rotational snaps as

1055
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: the edge rusher in the sub package. I see no

1056
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: reason why they should not start working him. In his

1057
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: preseason tape, okay, you know with the with the Steelers

1058
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: was really good. Clayton Harding psyche to c r D

1059
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,879
Speaker 1: line go against their depleted ranks, ruler rookie West Martin

1060
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: and Flowers as their inside offensive line seems really vulnerable.

1061
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: They already barely run kemmy load up against the pass

1062
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: and take advantage of it. And I'll throw more um

1063
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 1: one more feet on top of that. From Just a

1064
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 1: Giants Fan podcast. If rule is out, I fully expect

1065
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence Hill and Tomlinson to take Berkstrom's lunch money and

1066
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 1: make his children want to say they're adopted it. That's

1067
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: a little strong, but a little uh, but I do

1068
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: think that could open up some windows with the Giants

1069
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: interior offensive wanting to do some damage. B J. Hills

1070
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: made some plays in the run game. Is a pass rusher.

1071
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: He's been pretty quiet in the first three games. Dexter.

1072
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: Lawrence to me the last two weeks has come on

1073
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: and showing some ice ability to you know, decrease the

1074
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: depth of that pocket and push back the interior offensive lineman.

1075
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that could be an opportunity for

1076
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: this group to kind of get going this week, even

1077
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: if it's not coming off the edge. One of the

1078
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: callers I think mentioned this before, John, and I'm just

1079
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: going to throw this out there, and I'm not telling

1080
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: you something that I know. It's simply just a gut feel.

1081
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: We know that Pat Shermer knows case Keenom real well

1082
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: because he helped him to his best season with the Vikes. Okay, uh,

1083
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure not only does he know him well, he

1084
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: knows the favorite routes he wants to throw. He knows

1085
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 1: what his tendencies are when he gets rushed and when

1086
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: he gets into a tight spot. He knows what his

1087
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: safety valves are going to be. Um if, if, if

1088
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: he hasn't given that to the Giants defense and their

1089
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: staff and their players, I'd be more than shocked. He

1090
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: obviously owes owes it to give it to them. So

1091
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: I would say this, how about putting down case Keenom

1092
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: for at least two two picks, maybe even three in

1093
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 1: the game. Now he already has three this season, so

1094
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: that puts him on pace already for more than fifteen

1095
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 1: I think they're going to get at least two this week,

1096
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: and look and he'll he'll put the ball into some danger.

1097
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a big arm. We've seen over the

1098
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: course of the first three three weeks some guys jump

1099
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: some slant routes on him. He forced it into the

1100
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: scene last week against the Bears, was turned into an interception.

1101
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: Especially if you get that every lead I'm talked about,

1102
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: if he feels the pressure to try to make some

1103
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: plays down the field, he's gonna be in his comfort zone.

1104
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: If the Redskins have the lead, they can run it

1105
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: a little bit more. He doesn't feel like he has

1106
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: to go down there and score a million points. That's

1107
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: when Case Kingdom is gonna players best football. But if

1108
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: you put some pressure on him and put him down

1109
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: a score too, and it's second half and he's like

1110
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: a couple, I really gotta push this down the field

1111
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: a little bit, that's when he might run into some mistakes,

1112
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: especially since he does not have a very strong arm.

1113
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 1: He's regarded as a below average arm. When you're trying

1114
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: to throw the deep ball, and what happens when a

1115
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: guy with a less than powerful arm tries to unload

1116
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: the drift the yards down field, the ball hangs and

1117
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: and it gets picked off. At Jerry Petraglia listening to

1118
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: you and Paul, he's concerned about Antwo and bethet no

1119
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 1: interception since two thousand seventeen. Looks like in Jerry's perspective

1120
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: that he's lost a step season more as a rotational defend.

1121
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: They're not a guy playing nearly every snap. What are

1122
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: your thoughts on his opinion? You know, I'll be honest

1123
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: with you. It's very hard for me to truly grade

1124
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: the secondary through the first three weeks of the season.

1125
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: We had a question on the giants dot com ruler

1126
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: in the off season about what's the most difficult part

1127
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: of the Giant schedule? And I answered it differently than

1128
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: Lands and John did. They were looking at the opponents.

1129
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: I came right out and said the first three weeks

1130
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 1: will be the most difficult, the most challenging, because the

1131
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: Giants defense is gonna need time to gel. They're not

1132
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 1: going to know each other, They're not gonna be familiar

1133
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: with what bet Youer wants to do because there's been

1134
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: so many changes. There'll be so many inexperienced players. And

1135
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: I put it right in print I said that the

1136
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: Dallas game, the Bills game, and the Buccaneers game will

1137
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,479
Speaker 1: be the toughest three games this team will play most

1138
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: challenge because the defense is gonna have trouble finding its

1139
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 1: sea eggs. I'm holding to that, and for that reason,

1140
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: I can't really grade any of these defensive players right now.

1141
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: I will say this that was was one or two players.

1142
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: There was at least one player where Bethet took a

1143
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: bad angle on a player that ran a slant. I

1144
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: think it was in the Cowboy game and a Michael

1145
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: Gallup slant maybe where he took a bad angle and

1146
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: seen yards land into a big run. I don't know

1147
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: if there are any others besides that, but yeah, look,

1148
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: everyone in the second there is to play better, guys.

1149
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: Peppers has to play better, but better. Yeah, they all right?

1150
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, can I throw something else out

1151
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: there here, because what we're out of tweets and we

1152
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: have about a minute ago before we gotta say goodbye.

1153
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: There are people out there and I couldn't believe when

1154
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: I saw it, and there's a lot of them that

1155
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: are like, not only should generals Jenkins be bench, she

1156
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: should be cut folks. Let me explain something to you

1157
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: you can't list. You probably don't need more than two hands,

1158
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 1: maybe one, to list the number of cornerbacks in this

1159
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: league that can cover Mike Evans with no safety help

1160
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: at all and expect him to succeed. He was put

1161
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: on an island with Mike Evans last week on far

1162
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: too many plays. Now he'll tell you it's it's his

1163
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 1: job to cover him and he has to do it.

1164
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: And yet that's true. That's fine. I don't disagree with

1165
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: that either. However, if you put Corey Ballentine that situation,

1166
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: or DeAndre Baker in that situation, or Greg Helly in

1167
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: that situation, or any other cornerback you want to name

1168
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: on this roster in that guess what, same things happen.

1169
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: It might even be worse. So just keep in mind.

1170
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think, you know, the

1171
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: corner covers the receiver. What do you mean, John, I'll

1172
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: have help on every play, guys, and nearly every single

1173
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: defense unless you're running a cover zero, which is something

1174
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: you rarely run. It as an extremely risky defense to run.

1175
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: There's almost always at least the safety over the top,

1176
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: even just in the middle of the field. If not

1177
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: on your side of the field, so he was putting

1178
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: a very difficult situation. Last week. He did his best,

1179
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: and he didn't make as many plays as I'm sure

1180
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: he would have liked. Did you catch Jack Rabbit locker

1181
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: room today? I caught some of it, Yes, Okay. I

1182
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: thought he did give a very interesting answer at the

1183
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: end of his media briefing when somebody asked him about,

1184
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, how you respond to a rough game and

1185
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: a rough stretch, and he's he's been in a slump.

1186
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: And asked him, not only how do you respond, but

1187
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: how important is it to show the young guys in

1188
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: your secondary how you respond? And he came right back

1189
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: and said, absolutely, that's important. I gotta show them that

1190
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: I can come back and ball out this week. I

1191
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: gotta show him that I can get back on the

1192
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: horse and play the kind of football that I'm supposed

1193
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: to play, because I gotta set an example for these guys,

1194
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: the Baker's, the Balantine's, the loves. They gotta see it

1195
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: from the guy who has been their big brother in

1196
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 1: the locker room ever since they came here in the draft.

1197
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Good to see John for coverage this weekend, folks.

1198
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: You can find the game in a bunch of different platforms,

1199
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: or on Sports Radio sixty six w f AN starting

1200
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: at eleven thirty with pregame myself, Paul Lands and Figs

1201
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: will be with you. That's a M and FM. Then

1202
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: we go to a M only when Yankees coverage starts.

1203
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: I believe it, two thirty five of them. I'm not mistaken.

1204
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: I think that's when I think Yankee started three. I

1205
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: believe that's true. But about a little bit way through

1206
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the game will switch to a M only, but we

1207
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: will start on both frequencies, and of course when we

1208
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: do make that switch, we'll announce it on the radio.

1209
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: You can of course check Paul out on the postgame

1210
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: show on television on MSG. Mercedes Benz sponsors that I'll

1211
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: be on the postgame radio for all the reaction to

1212
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,560
