Speaker 1: twenty three nineteen victory over the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: As the Giants finish up the season at six and ten,

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: so they are still mathematically alive for the NFC East title.

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: They now wait and see what happens on Sunday Night

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: Football as Washington will visit Philly. A Washington win and

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: Washington wins the NFC East. A Washington loss and the

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Giants will win their first division title in quite some time,

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: going back to two thousand eleven. Now, as far as

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: streaks also coming to an end, the Giants snapped a

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: seven game losing streak to the Cowboys. They got their

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: first win against Dallas since two thousand sixteen. They also

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: went four and two in the division for the first

23
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: time since two thousand sixteen, and swept their three division

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: rivals at home for the first time since two thousand five.

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: And we will get to your phone calls a little

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: bit later on at eight seven seven three three seven

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: sixty six sixty six. But in the meantime, I bring

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: in Bob and Carl and Bob. This may have been

29
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: a micro cosmo of the season. Nothing has necessarily come

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: easy for the Giants, and they've had double digit leads

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, they were unable to close out games,

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: but this time around they made the necessary plays down

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: the stretch. They got a season I six sacks. They

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: were of course able to run the ball at the

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: end despite the fumble and recover it and that's all

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: that matters at the end of the day, sneaking out

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: of four point victory. Yeah, lance Um, I think they

38
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: played better than sort of the way the game ended.

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: But you know, I thought Sterling Shepherd, you know, in

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: ten targets, May eight catches for a hundred and twelve yards,

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: and they weren't easy some of them. Um. I thought

42
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: they ran the ball effectively, but you know, in true

43
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Giants fashion. Uh, just like at the end of the game,

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Gallman Cracks had open, he's got an eight yard run,

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: he gets the first down on the second and five,

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: and of course as a fumble and they're sitting on

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: the ball. But you gotta give the Giants credit this way, Carl. Defensively, Uh,

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: they held the Cowboys to nineteen points. Dallas had scored

49
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: thirty or more in their last three games. Um, and

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: the Giants did a really good job of not giving

51
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: up explosive plays. The Cowboys longest pass play today was

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: a twenty one yard or to Ceedee Lamb and the

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: longest run was a thirteen yard or. Elliot had one,

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: and then Dalton on that naked boot, Um, you know,

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: on that on that big fourth down. But I thought

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the Giants defensively played a very good football game too.

57
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I think this Giant defense redeemed themselves. And I think

58
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: what Patrick Graham did in terms of of knowing how

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Dallas wanted to play, is to just make Dallas grind

60
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: it out on you and not give up the big

61
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: plays and thankfully for the Giants and the field position

62
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: game worked out in their favor too, because part of

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys success over the last three games in terms

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: of all they're scoring, they had great field position in

65
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot of those games. So Giants making them go

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: all the way down the field and and being stout

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: not giving up a lot of chunk plays. Did they

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: give up a twenty yarder today? Uh, they got a

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty one yard or to Lamb and gallop at a

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty yarder, but you know, but nothing nothing drastic, right,

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: and and so I think they did a good job there.

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: But I think the unsung heroes of this game, and

73
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: it's it's they don't seem unsung, but they're kind of

74
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: what they did to impact this game. This defensive front

75
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: for Bob had, they impacted this game beyond what um.

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: It was obvious. Leonard Williams, who didn't make the Pro Bowl,

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: but he's having an all Pro kind of year. He

78
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: had seven tackles in the game. He had three sacks. Uh.

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Dexter Lawrence and Dalvin Thomlinson. Tomlinson

80
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: had another sack. Uh made their presence. Felt it was

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: good to have fact roll back. He had three tackles

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: in a sack. How about take Crowder eleven tackles in

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: the ball game, Blake Martinez eleven tackles in a sack

84
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: in this ball game. And then there's the rookies, Xavier McKinney,

85
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: who's starting to round into form. He had eight tackles

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: in the game and the interception in the end zone. Yeah,

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: and he had one interception call back. So when we

88
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: look at whatever happens here, uh, you see the foundation

89
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: being set here for what the Giants want to do.

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I normally don't make a habit of

91
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: openly giving management advice, but boy, keep this defensive line

92
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: together some way. If they can make it work, they

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: will be a force to be reckoned with for a

94
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: long time because they've they got some unique talents up there.

95
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: They certainly do. And obviously they need to add um,

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, an edge pass rusher and you know this

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: thing that they can add that we can get into it.

98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: But you know, game specific, I thought Daniel Jones played

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a lot better than the numbers they're gonna indicate. He

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: was seventeen of yards, two touchdowns, The one interception wasn't

101
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: his fault. The one fumble wasn't his fault. And you

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: know there were several key drops in there that really

103
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: sort of short circuited Giants drives. He didn't really put

104
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: the ball in harm's way at all. No, he didn't.

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: And you know this offensive line did a good job

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: at him his pocket awareness, understanding situations. I think he

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: ran the football game the football team well. And this

108
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: is what you know for all, for what is worth,

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: this was a very important game for him. He was

110
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: not in jeopardy of of of being cut, but just

111
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: a game of this magnitude and how he came out

112
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: and performed would leave a great impression not only on

113
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the fan base, it on coaches and management. And I

114
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: think he prepared well. He showed great confidence, in great

115
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: command of the offense. Yeah, I mean, look at the

116
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: touchdown past to Pettis. Um he put it right on him,

117
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: uh in a small window. Now, it's not it's not

118
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: his fault that Pettis decided to use his face mask

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: or the catch processing catch process, but the throws were

120
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: pinpoint when he needed to make them. So the Giants

121
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: went Atlanta. As we sent it back to you, absolutely

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: the Giants take care of business with a twenty three

123
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,440

Speaker 1: was able to collect six acts, so that is a

152
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,600

153
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,320

155
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840

00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: with you here recapping the Giants nineteen victory over the Cowboys,

158
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and Bob, the reason I bring up when those sacks

159
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: occurred is because you look at the statistics and one

160
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: number to me that may get overlooked is Dallas was

161
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: one for four in the red zone. And you mentioned

162
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: this is a team that was scoring at least thirty

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: points over their three game winning streak. It wasn't as

164
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: if Dallas didn't have opportunities in this game. They got

165
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: within striking distance, but the Giants more often than not

166
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: were able to keep them out of the end zone

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: and they settled for just one touchdown out of those

168
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: four opportunities. Yeah, two field goals in the one interception.

169
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: All at Lance, I gotta disagree with you on the

170
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: play of the game because I think the play of

171
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: the game doesn't have to be the Wayne Gallman butt

172
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. We were going back and forth. Can we

173
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: call that the whole my beer? It's all those memes

174
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: on on social media, these whole my beer memes. That's

175
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: one of them. Isn't that a great photo? Though? To

176
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: sum up call the NFC season. I think it's only appropriate, right,

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: somebody's sitting on a football. Yeah, yeah, I'm running Scott

178
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: Free Whoop, I dropped my beer. I mean, uh, just

179
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: crazy way for this game to end. Um, you know,

180
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: And and you're right, Lance, the Giants had the Cowboys

181
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: in third and longs Uh, the Cowboys were over for

182
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: seven and nine. Plus they got a bunch of sacks

183
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: in that situation. And uh, you know, I think Carl

184
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the Giant's ability to get sacks without you know, having

185
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: to bring the house, uh, was also a huge factor

186
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, without a doubt, Bob. And that's

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: that's important too to your coverage. When you have guys

188
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: that you can add an extra guy and cover Ridge,

189
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: or if you need to double double meaning double team

190
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: two guys, you can do that because you have another

191
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: safety who was capable of doing that. And then how

192
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: about the confidence and we talk about the development that

193
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: this staff has done to players, how about Darnay Holmes

194
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: being push being responsible for some very important coverage situations

195
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: on both Cooper and Ceedee lamb. Yeah, I mean, uh,

196
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna get called for his rare hold

197
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: here or there, but um, you know he's been put

198
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. And uh, look, I think Lance

199
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the defense, Uh, you gotta commend them, because you're right,

200
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: they kept the Cowboys out of the end zone. The

201
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys struggled this year and read zone offense. Uh, they

202
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: had not have a good touchdown percentage ratio. And the Giants,

203
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: you're right, one touchdown in four trips, two field goals,

204
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: and the interception that came late. So I thought this

205
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: defense did a good job, Carl, especially early in the

206
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: game when the Boys are trying to get a little

207
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: run game going and they you know, Pollard is there

208
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: sort of big play guy, their explosive guy. Pollard had

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: five carries for fifteen yards with a long of six,

210
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: and uh he had three catches for eighteen yards along

211
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: of ten. I thought they did a good job when

212
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys tried to isolate him in space. The Giants

213
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: closed the space up nicely. They did. They and again

214
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: the Giants in their preparation, I'm sure new that that's

215
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: how Cowboys stay on schedule, be getting guys like Pollard

216
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: in space, you know, moving the chains five, ten, twelve yards,

217
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: and they made sure that he wasn't a factor. Uh

218
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: the Giants for the first time. Here's a little statistical

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: nugget for your lands. The Giants came into this weekend

220
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: UH tied with the Jets and the Ravens as the

221
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: only three teams to not have a quarterback throw for

222
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. In a game with Daniel Jones two

223
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: d and twenty nine yards. Today, the Giants will have

224
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: gone the entire season with yard passer for the first

225
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: time since Eli Mannings rookie season of two thousand four.

226
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe with the passing numbers that exist

227
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL that not wants your Crack three bills,

228
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: but the Giants will take the win on the lust lass. Absolutely,

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: you don't get style points for how you go out guys,

230
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: and you get ws. And I think this game pretty

231
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: much summed it up as they beat the Cowboys twenty

232
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: three to nineteen and just a piggyback off of Bob's point.

233
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Remember this was a Giants team that had failed to

234
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: score twenty points at each of the last five games,

235
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: so they just get over that hurdle. But they only

236
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: get to twenty three the defense doing a lot of

237
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting, holding an explosive Cowboys offense two under

238
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: twenty points. For more game analysis, check out Giants Rewind

248
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Washington and Philadelphias. The Giants now wait and hope that

249
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the ball bounces the way of the Eagles, because that

250
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: could open the door for them to win in NFC

251
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: East title for the first time since two thousand eleven.

252
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Plenty more coming up as well as Joe Judge. It's

253

Speaker 1: a player reaction. Hang tight, we'll be back right after this.

254
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: You were listening to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra Point on

255
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: the w f A n Giants Radio network driven by

256
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: the Hess Toy truck. And off for Golman. He's got

257
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: a hole. There goes Golmen for a first down thirty

258
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: five and then he goes down and he bubble the football.

259
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: Goldman race down into the open I think you get

260
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: back on it, and he fubble the football. He was

261
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: trying to give himself up and go down, and in

262
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: doing so, he coughed it up. I think he kept it.

263
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Dallas says they have the ball that they do with

264
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: fifty eight seconds to go, and ultimately they looked at

265
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: replay and determined that Goldman was able to recover the football.

266
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: And that's what helps seal the Giants nineteen victory over

267
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and snapped a seven game losing streak

268
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, getting their first win over Dallas since

269
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,079

281
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: thank you all for allowing me to improve my football

282
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: knowledge every year. I'm very grateful to all of you,

283
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: and obviously it's a very exciting day for all of us.

284
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: The Giants won this game. I am becoming an Eagles

285
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: fan for one week. Do you allow me to do that?

286
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just do that in life, right. I can't

287
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: guarantee anything after that, but uh, but anyway, you know

288
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: one thing we assume, I mean, this kicking game for

289
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: the Giants is uh, the consistency of that game is one.

290
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it is fantastic and uh, but

291
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: I was in any case, Uh, I think things that

292
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: they cleaned up at that term that everybody uses is

293
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: I think the tackling was much better than it was

294
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: last week. I didn't see people bouncing off everything is.

295
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: This is on defense and I just want to discuss

296
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: company that Blake Martina said during the week, whichever you

297
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: can improve my knowledge of. He said that they were

298
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: that the defensive linement and the linebackers are off the gaps,

299
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: and that they were that they were off because of

300
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: the pre the pre snap motion that they did. I know,

301
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: you can attack the center, you can quote from the

302
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: center or not. Okay, let me let me tell you

303
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: what they did with all the shifting in motion. The

304
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: Giants wanted to set their coverage or their leverage points

305
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: to the either the strength or the weakness of the

306
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: Ravens offense. And with all the pre snap stuff, they

307
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: couldn't adjust as many times as the Ravens were, and

308
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: so they were caught off, you know, one man short

309
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: in some on some place where they normally would plan

310
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: to have an extra guy on that side. That's what

311
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: it was. To pick it up when you're watching the TV. Yeah.

312
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: The other thing I remember called you and I. You

313
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: and I talked last year about Lena Williams and the

314
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: year before is that I'll just quote you. I always

315
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: felt to be better on the outside. And I'm not

316
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: always sure whether they're using a three or four or

317
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: four three. It looks like a three or four, but

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: it's disguised a lot the formations that I always felt

319
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: that Lena wins would be great on the outside, and

320
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: you said, you agree that he would have resilience act

321
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: on the outside, But he said us to be doing

322
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: much better on the inside. I mean, he's always seems

323
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: to be in the right position. They're moving him around.

324
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: He's just so athletic and just so unique. And that's

325
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, if they can figure out

326
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: how to keep the group together, man, they're gonna be

327
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: a problem for a while. Yeah. And I mean, uh, look,

328
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: Joe Judge and this coaching staff weren't here last year

329
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: when the Giants made the trade for him. But Joe

330
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Judge as to me privately raved about Leonard Williams all

331
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: season long. Um, he just believes he's a complete football player.

332
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: And he says, look the position that he plays. Uh,

333
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: he does so many things for us that don't show

334
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: up on the statue, but if you know what you're

335
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: looking at, you can see the impact that he has

336
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: and how important he is. As far as their defense, Lance, well, Lance,

337
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: I just gotta ask, what the hell is Harvey? Not Harvey?

338
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: Um and Ozzy and Eddie we haven't heard from all year.

339
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: They normally hang out in the car in the park

340
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: and our guests. Since we don't have any in person stuff,

341
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: they decided they just wanted to take the year off.

342
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: What the heck? Yeah, I think they opted out, Like, yeah,

343
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: unfortunately hopefully there well, yes, we do hope that they are. Well,

344
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll be hearing from them sooner rather than later.

345
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't doubt that now as we look ahead to

346
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: tonight's game, because we will not know the result by

347
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: the time we go off the air. But this is

348
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: a game in which Philadelphia is not going to have

349
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: a lot of it starts playing because of injury. There's

350
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: a game in which Alex Smith, as well as Terry

351
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: McLaurin and Antonio Gibson are expected to play. But Carl

352
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: and Bob, you guys both referenced this last week. Whatever

353
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: happens in the Sunday night game should not necessarily take

354
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: away from what the goal was of this game against

355
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys from the Giants perspective, right, So, the goal

356
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: was to win as many games as you you can,

357
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: and then it's winning your division and make the playoffs. Obviously,

358
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: they've won as many games as they possibly could given

359
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: where they were, and now it's just up you know,

360
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: you just see what happens. But you you know, you've

361
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: got some things that you can build on because it's

362
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: all about the division. You swept Washington, Uh, you split

363
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: with the other teams in the division, so you you

364
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: know you're on your way. Whatever. You know, the out

365
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: of conference or out of division records are. It is

366
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: what it is. But you know what, you've got to

367
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: win your division. They're close. Uh, the team that may

368
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: end up winning this thing, they swept, so they just

369
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: have to, you know, just look at look at positives.

370
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot to build on. Yeah, I think it

371
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: was important for them to not end the season on

372
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: another losing streak. I think it was important for them

373
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: to end this Cowboys winning streak against them, just like

374
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: they sort of exercised the Eagles winning streak. And I

375
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: think the lesson that's learned if they don't make the

376
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: postseason is, you know, little things matter, because you know,

377
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: in the first game against the Cowboys, just like I

378
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: feel like the Giants outplayed Dalla today. They have played

379
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the first meeting in Dallas and should

380
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: have won the game. But when you give up two

381
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: field goals late and uh, you know, you have two

382
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns taken off the board in a game that you

383
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: lose by four, or you have the Evan Ingram drop

384
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: in the game against Philadelphia where you've got a big

385
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: lead the Bears game where Ingram had a ball go

386
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: off his hands coming out of a break that went

387
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: for an interception that turned the game. The Bucks game

388
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: where Daniel Jones fumbled twice in the third quarter of

389
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: the Giants are moving the ball up and down the

390
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: field in the Tampa Bay Bucks. You know, you look

391
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: at all those games that they lost, Steelers Steelers game,

392
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, a ninety nineteen played, ten minute drive that

393
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: ends with the quarterback making a bad decision. These are

394
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: things that you know, that's why you're not in the

395
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: playoffs if you don't get in. But I think to

396
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: end the season, ending the losing streak, beating the division rival,

397
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot if you're a Giants fan

398
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: that you're positive about moving forward and the next order

399
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: of business. And I don't think any I think everybody

400
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: can see it is they need to add better players

401
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: to the roster. That's that simple. On both sides of

402
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: the ball. They have to keep accumulating quality players. And

403
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: they did accumulate quality players in this draft. You can

404
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: see they were all by the end of this year,

405
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: which the regular season, every one of those drafted players

406
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: were contributing. That's still on this roster. There's no guy

407
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: that was drafted on this roster that did not get

408
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: playing time and contribute to this this team. You look

409
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: at the three offensive lineman, you look at Cam Brown,

410
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: you look at Carter Coughlin. So it went pretty deep

411
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: into this draft class. And then the other question remains

412
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: is too whether or not they can retain the services

413
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: of some of the guys up front. Leonard Williams is

414
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent, Dalvin Tomlinson. The franchise tag,

415
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: of course is an option, but you know, can they

416
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: keep this nucleus together. They just gave Logan Ryan an extension,

417
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: so you know that's one piece of the pie. But

418
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: in a league defined by competitive balance and parity, is

419
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: that both of you know very well it's hard to

420
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: maintain continuity on your roster because of the salary cap frustration. Lance,

421
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something that I had mentioned to Carl

422
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: the other day, and um, the Giants made a decision

423
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: a long time ago, and I hope, hopefully for their sake, Uh,

424
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: they look at history because you do not want history

425
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: to repeat itself. And what I mean by that is,

426
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, they had draft, they had done a pretty

427
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: good job Ernie A. Corsi and and Jerry Reese. They

428
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: had done a good job of drafting defensive linemen and

429
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: and creating quality upfront. And the Giants drafted Linval Joseph

430
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: and he was at the same point in his career,

431
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: um as Dalvin Tomlinson is where his rookie deal is expiring.

432
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: They had drafted Linval Joseph in two thousand and ten,

433
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: and um, you know, then the Giants drafted Jonathan Hankins

434
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and thirteen, and for money reasons, they

435
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: decided they did not want to get in on Linval

436
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: Joseph because they figured he was gonna get paid. And

437
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: all Linval Joseph did was go to Minnesota and continue

438
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: to become a better player and become a pro bowler.

439
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: And when you look at the amount of money and

440
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: raft picks that the Giants spent in trying to replace

441
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: Linval Joseph, Hankins never paired really panned out as the

442
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: second round pick in two thousand thirteen. Uh. Jay Bromley

443
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: was a third round pick that never filled that void. Uh.

444
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: They drafted a bunch of other guys. They dipped their

445
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: toe into free agency and signed guys. They eventually wind

446
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: up having to sign Snacks in two thousand sixteen, but

447
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: they spent draft capital and spent money on free agents

448
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: and guys to bring in to replace Linval Joseph, when

449
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: in the end, it would have been cheaper and better

450
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: had they bit the bullet and just kept Linval Joseph

451
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: and kept those guys together. And I think they're at

452
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: that same crossroads right now with Dexter Lawrence, Leonard Williams

453
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Tomlinson. And I'm with you, Carl, I would

454
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: find a way to keep Dalvin Tomlinson and Leonard Williams. Yeah.

455
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: And if you wanna talk about, you know, futures, well,

456
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Dave Gentleman invested in futures with uh Lennard Williams and

457
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: it paid off, right, So now they got to figure

458
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: out how to pay them. But they know that if

459
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: whatever you see of Dalvin Tomlinson in folks, you should

460
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: see our inside the film room. And I hope we

461
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: can put that out there this week on giants dot Com.

462
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: You'll see exactly why he's not a run of the mill,

463
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: dime a dozen third wheel in their defensive front. He

464
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: is disruptive, he is athletic, and he's good if you

465
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: take a look. And I hope we can get that

466
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: out there to you guys this week so that you

467
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: can see exactly what Dalvin Tomlinson brings to the table,

468
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: because we talk a lot about Leonard, and we talked

469
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: about Dexter, but this guy is nothing short of of

470
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: their equals. Well, Carl, while we're promoting some of your

471
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: other work, I think it's only appropriate that we expand

472
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: upon your skill set. I'm told that there was some

473
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: behind the scenes mechanisms that were going on throughout the

474
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: course of the game, and you now should add Soothsayer

475
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: to your laundry list of talents. Take a listen. Two

476
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: minute warning Giants twenty three, Cowboys nineteen. I'm the w

477
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: f AN Giants Radio Network driven by the Hesty Troup.

478
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Here comes the interception they've been dropping our game. Two

479
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: minute warning on the second half. How about that? There

480
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: you go came up. Huh that's right, McKinney came through

481
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: for you. Always say good things and open mic, absolutely,

482
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: and you never know what gets captured here too behind

483
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: the scenes. That and also it has to be you

484
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: have to be nice to the guys in the control

485
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: room because they can decide whether to keep or delete

486
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: or edit. Two. Yeahmber, No, he's not that's Pete Hoffman.

487
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: He's at the controls today. I always told you you're

488
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: such a great guy. Get in my belly and he's

489
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: patting himself on the back as we speak, just so

490
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, well, guys, it has been a blast this season.

491
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: Maybe we speak next week. Okay, this may not be

492
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: goodbye for the entire season. We don't know, but appreciate

493
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: the time of the insight. Get some rest, and we'll

494
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: see how things transpired tonight. Thanks to all our listeners,

Speaker 1: with you as we are recapping the Giants nineteen victory

521
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: over the Cowboys. Giants finish up the season at six

522
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: and ten. They snap their three game losing streak and

523
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: they go to four and two in divisional play, awaiting

524
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: the results of Washington and Philly on Sunday Night Football.

525
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: Let's take it to the Giants power report brought to

526
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: you by P S E n G. Committed to providing

527
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: safe and reliable energy now and in the future. On

528
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: the ground, today, the Giants round the ball eight times

529
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: for a hundred twenty five yards four and a half

530
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Wayne Goldman led the way with eleven

531
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: for sixty five. Sterling Shepherd had a twenty three yard

532
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown on a reverse as the Giants go over

533
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: a hundred yards for the ninth time this season in

534
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: sixteen games. They had a stretch from Week six all

535
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: the way through Week thirteen in which they had at

536
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: least a hundred yards, but during this three game losing

537
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: streak seventy eight yards, seventy four yards, and fifty four

538
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: yards respectively against the Cardinals, Browns, and Ravens, so they

539
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: get back over the century mark in the win over

540
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. In terms of Joe Judge his press conference

541
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Mercedes Benz Winter Event, visit

542
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: m b USA dot com. Let's listen in to what

543
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: the Giants said coach had to say following his teams win.

544
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: This note is function and will let you know to

545
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: order and which the questions will flow. Okay, guys, I

546
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: appreciate you being patient. I was actually to the podium

547
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: and a hurry. Pat Helln told me to back off

548
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: and slow it down, that you guys didn't want to

549
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: get to you know, used to that kind and stuff. So, UM, look,

550
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: obviously I'm proud of the players in the way they

551
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: played tonight. Um, They've had a good year. We've improved

552
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: in every game. A probably the way they came out

553
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: today and fought for sixty minutes. We knew it was

554
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a game that went down to the wire,

555
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: as all of our division games do. Um. I'm probably

556
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: the way they've played, and probably the way they've blocked

557
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: out a lot of external factors and stuck together as

558
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: a team moved forward. So that being said, a little up,

559
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: any question to add about this game or whatever it's

560
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: going forward and douging the athletic. Hey, Joe, I don't

561
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: know if you have any Eagles gear laying around you

562
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: you breaking out tonight, Like what would tonight be like

563
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: for you? You know what? To be honest with you, Um,

564
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the office right now, start

565
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: watching Tampa. I'll have the game on in the background

566
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens tonight ton Rock Newsday, Joe,

567
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: what was your take on the the end of the

568
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: game there with the Goldman fumble? What what were you

569
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: seeing on the screen and what were you being told

570
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: by the officials. Well, we couldn't see anything on the screen,

571
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: but we were relying on right there is the fact

572
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: that they m had already signaled the first down and

573
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: at that point it's gotta be a obvious, clear recovery

574
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: to overturn that. So, you know, we're kind of a

575
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: little bit more in limbo in terms of what was

576
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: going on through a view part of it, and they're

577
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: looking really more on the spot. You know, we're talking

578
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: through a lot of scenarios. I'm talking to Pad on

579
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: the headset in terms of defense to go back out there,

580
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: talking offense in terms of you know, we have to

581
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: expect them to use their time out that I'll give

582
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: him one time out left. Now we're in victor formation. Um,

583
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: just talking about scenario is going up right there. It

584
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: looked like when Wayne went down. I still haven't seen

585
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: a clean replay of it. Look Like when Wayne went down,

586
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: he covered it right away between his legs. Um, that's

587
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 1: what I saw from the sideline. I couldn't tell if

588
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: that's the absolute end of it, but I just know

589
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: what they signal first down. So we got our offense

590
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: back on the field out there, and then on on

591
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: a somewhat similar play, the catch by Pettis before the

592
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: field goal. It looked like video show that that was

593
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: was not wasn't incompletion. We surprised that wasn't challenged. No,

594
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I was surprised it wasn't challenged a

595
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: scoring place. So they're gonna review that up top anyway. Um,

596
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,959
Speaker 1: you know, look, as far as we're concerning, we were

597
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: talking with the officials in terms of what the scenarios

598
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: are gonna be. I was actually talking about the one

599
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: right before the field goal, the ten yard game to

600
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: sit up the fifty yr field goal. Oh as far

601
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: as that one right there, uh, you know what. To

602
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: be honestly, we didn't get anything up top, you know,

603
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: indicating from our guys who were looking at from a

604
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: different view that it may be a challengeable type play.

605
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: We got the field goal team out there and just

606
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: want ahead and executed. Obviously, if they ruled it incomplete,

607
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: we may played the situation a little differently. Wouldn't have

608
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: been a field range at that point, would have made

609
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: a decision between go for that point or probably punt. Hey, Joe,

610
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: what did you say to your team about the idea

611
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: that you know, through sixteen games they at least put

612
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: themselves in position where you're obviously if they sit and weight,

613
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: but you can still win the division. Look, my words,

614
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: a team at the end of the day was just

615
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: pretty much how proud I was that I kept playing. Okay,

616
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: you know what they've been able to do, stick together

617
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: as a team, the progress we've made, and then ultimately

618
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: whatever happens tonight. All right, whatever happens tonight, let's just

619
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: be ready to come into work tomorrow and do whatever

620
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: we have to do. You know, make the right decisions tonight,

621
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: make sure we're prepared that if something goes our way,

622
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: that we're ready to go ahead and play next week.

623
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: But we'll let tonight take care of itself. We had

624
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for sixteen weeks. You know, we gotta make sure

625
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: someone's got a mute their deal right there, guys. All right,

626
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: we had opportunities for sixteen weeks. So look, we came

627
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: in today. It was a meaningful game. Obviously, put us

628
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: in position to have a chance. Our guys went out

629
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: took care of business tonight. Uh so we'll see what

630
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: happens in another game. How much does it teach you

631
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 1: or tell you about this team that they were you know,

632
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: this was essentially a playoff game and elimination game for

633
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: you guys that you were were able to play well

634
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: in this kind of spot. Well, I think it shows

635
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: that we've had a lot of growth as a team

636
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: throughout the year in terms of their wherewithal and fortitude.

637
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that showed up throughout the entire year.

638
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: And I keep saying I found out a lot more

639
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: about our team and we're owing five and one and

640
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: seven that I did down the stretch. I think that

641
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: showed what kind of team and culture and foundation were

642
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: built here, the foundation pieces we have in this locker

643
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,479
Speaker 1: room going forward. You know, the way these guys came

644
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: to work every single day, never complained, never questioned, just

645
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: came in and went to work all right. And again

646
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: there were times early in the season where you're own

647
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: five one and seven and the sound on the outside, maybe,

648
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: how are these guys are gonna hold up? How are

649
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: they gonna do at what points everyone start question and

650
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: looking around. The reality was they were probably our best practices.

651
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Now we had to learn to practice better as a

652
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: team and be better in execution, but terms of showing

653
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: up every day to work and getting the most out

654
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: of our guys service of energy and buying, and that's

655
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: really the weeks we made the most progress as a team.

656
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: So you know, the thing was we could just show

657
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: him tape on Monday and correct the mistakes and let

658
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: them understand what we have to do better to win games.

659
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: And until we stopped from losing games, we can't win them. Um,

660
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: and this guy's understood that. We just kept coming to

661
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: work every day. So really we learned a lot about

662
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: ourselves in the first half of the year and that

663
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: carried us through this back half of the year to

664
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: have a lot more success. Bruce Back UNBC, Joe, what

665
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: do you think of your defense, specifically the pressure you

666
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: put on them today? Yeah, I thought they did a

667
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: nice job overall. I mean, obviously it's an explosive offense

668
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: to capable scoring a lot of points. Uh. You know, look,

669
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: I thought Andy did a real good job playing today,

670
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: and you know, he really gave us a headache pulling

671
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: the ball down and really kind of going ahead and

672
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: create an extra yards when he saw a lane. They

673
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: used somebody obviously, you know, when he pulled it at

674
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: the end of the game down there in the red

675
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: zone to get the first down, that was a big

676
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: player right there. Look, he's a smart quarterback, he's a

677
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: tough quarterback, he's an experienced guy. We knew he was

678
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna make place throughout the day. You know, our concern

679
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: was really not letting these guys make explosive plays with

680
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: the ball in their hand, and we knew he was

681
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna distribute it around and kind of find some holes

682
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: and zones and kind of hit some matchups and man

683
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: a man at times we had to do do a good

684
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: job of tackling, and you know, there's some times we'd

685
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: be better tackling executing as a team. Um, but down

686
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: the stretch, guys are mixing place our Schwartz New York Post. Hey, Joe, um,

687
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: how important was it for you first of all, too

688
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: after that late season skid of three games, that this

689
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: was the kind of game that you guys used were

690
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: winning when you were playing well, you know, this was

691
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: kind of like that same form. It was to get

692
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: back to that and also beating the Cowboys with a

693
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: seven game losing street to the organization had to him

694
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: not you did anyone around you, ownership or front office,

695
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: say anything about finally beating the Cowboys. No, Look what

696
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: we've really made this about, you know, one game at

697
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: a time here, Paul, So that last three games obviously

698
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: before today, there wasn't a result we wanted. But we

699
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: turn the page every week and we truly are just

700
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: trying to go one and every week and keep our

701
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: focus centered on that week's opponent, learned from last week's mistakes,

702
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: put our focus on the team we had to play

703
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: that Sunday and play our best game. You know, in

704
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: terms of anything that's happened here before, um, we have

705
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: a great respect for the history of this organization, the players,

706
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: the coaches, all right, the stories, the games. That's a

707
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: focus we put on, all right. We put a priority

708
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: in our players understanding what's happened before them here. But

709
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: in terms of worrying about losing streaks, you know, look,

710
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: real simple, they were different teams and to be quite honest,

711
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: next year's team will be a different team as well.

712
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter if it's the same players it's

713
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: a different team, it's a different year, and all that

714
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: matters is what you do each week independently against that

715
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: opponent and how you play. So there's no curse hanging over.

716
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: There was no seven game losing streak for us. We

717
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: just knew that this team earlier in the year play Dallas.

718
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: We left plays on the field, and we had things

719
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: we had to clean up and correct, and we were

720
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: able to do that enough today to have success. Did anyone,

721
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: um um since the game ended from the organization express

722
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: how much they like beating Dallas though to you? But

723
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: there were a lot of smiles and hugs in the

724
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: socially distance hugs in the locker room after the game.

725
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: So I think everyone right at this point right now

726
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: is we've gone through a lot, you know, starting back

727
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: in the spring on zoom meetings, you push on forward,

728
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: you go through training camp and unconventional training camp. These

729
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: guys did a great job responding to what we asked

730
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: them to and along the way, it was the upper management,

731
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: all right. It was a scouting department. It was the ownership,

732
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: It was the trainers, it was equipment staff, it was

733
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: everybody in that building working with one vision, one direction.

734
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 1: So you know the culmination of what we did today. Uh, look,

735
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: everybody was happy. Everybody's happy. And again the focus isn't

736
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: on what mayor may not happened tonight. The focus is

737
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: on our goal this week was to beat Dallas and

738
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: that's what we did everything the record, Hey, Joe um

739
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: In terms of the play, when they're driving after after

740
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: Dalton pulled it on that fourth down run, you get

741
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: the pressure from Leonard on third down, the balls up

742
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: in the air, are you how what's your perspective on

743
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: that play when the when the balls in the air,

744
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: do you see McKinney in position or you know what

745
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: are you seeing? Yeah, I knew we were gonna have

746
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: help in that part of the field because the defense

747
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: that was called. We saw the pressure Leonard gave on

748
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: and when he threw it and it kind of float up.

749
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: At that point in the game, the balls were very slick.

750
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: You saw some drops on that point. You know, I'd

751
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 1: say in the second half is kind of the moisture

752
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: started by the back of the fourth quarters when the

753
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of really start affecting receivers, you know, cross the board.

754
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: But when he saw the ball kind of go up

755
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: there and just flutter. You know, immediately my eyes went

756
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: to the back end. I saw Z there in position. Uh,

757
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: he was able to make the play. He caught it,

758
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: and then my next thought was staying the damn end zone.

759
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: So and he did that though, yes he did so

760
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: we stressed that enough in that situation. How it played out,

761
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: there's times we get in the green like the rolling out.

762
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: But you know, those guys are a smart group. They

763
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: play well together. Um, so he's able to make the

764
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: right play situationally, ran Joe Sterling, Shepherd's course two touchdowns

765
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: in this game has probably his best game in the

766
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: season here. Um, he's actually the only Giant who's played

767
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: in a playoff game in this uniform on your roster.

768
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering about what you thought of him here and

769
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: in your big, biggest game in the season. Well, I

770
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: think in every game we count of all of our

771
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: players to give us production. Um. Starling's a guy comes

772
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: to work every day. We know he's gonna a focal

773
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: point of the offense. He's definitely a very competitive guy.

774
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: He's a guy that this week it was very banged

775
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: up and pushed through for practice and he saw him

776
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: as limited through practice I'd say he was limited, but

777
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: he was really grinding through a lot of pain throughout

778
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: the week. But you know that when this guy gets

779
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: the game day, he's gonna give you play, He's gonna

780
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: give you production that He's a guy that obviously we

781
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: missed a lot earlier in the season when he was hurt.

782
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: We're happy to get him back, not only for his

783
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: ability to make plays on the field, but also what

784
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: he brings to our team in the locker room and

785
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: leadership throughout the game. You know, he's a guy that

786
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: really plays. He plays tough, he plays down hill, he

787
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: plays strong, and our guys have a lot of confidence

788
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: with him on the field because he's that guy in

789
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: those crucial moments he wants the ball and you want

790
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: to find a way to get it to him. And

791
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: then how hard is that played that gallman is making

792
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: their at the end of the game, to know you

793
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: got the first down, you should just go down. Like

794
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: the balance of fighting for extra yards versus balls security there.

795
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: Obviously he already had the first down when he fumbled. Yeah,

796
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: it's the priority on that right there. So we had

797
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: to always have ball scure. I don't care if it's

798
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: the first player the game or last play the game.

799
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, obviously, you know Wayne's a guy

800
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: we trust. He's got a lot of production. That was

801
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 1: a heck of a job at the line blocking there,

802
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: him running and put us in that position right there

803
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: where at that point in the game under a minute

804
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: they had two time outs and basically that secured the

805
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: win right there for us to go ahead and get

806
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: into victory formation. So it was a good run. Obviously,

807
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: will continue working as a team on ball security going forward. Um,

808
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: that's always a priority for our team, no matter what

809
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: time of year it's gonna be. We're fortunately get the

810
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: ball back in that situation. And uh and Wayne helped

811
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: us do a lot of positive things today and obviously

812
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: he's a key part of while we won the game.

813
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: It was say two more Matt Lombardo Zach wasn't at Lamarto. Fansided, Sure, Um,

814
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: Lenny Williams had three sacks today. How big has he

815
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: been for you all year? And how important was it

816
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: for you guys to get that kind of performance out

817
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: of him today? Yeah, we needed our guys to make plays,

818
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: and we challenge our defensive line to be honestly, we

819
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: really challenged and we talked about last time I went

820
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: down to Dallas and quite simply, we need to have

821
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: a better performance up front, and we did on both

822
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: sides of the ball today. You know, Leonard's a guy

823
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: that we knows, tremendous player. We love him in the building.

824
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: He's a great teammate, He's fun to coach. You know,

825
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: he makes your job a lot easier in terms of

826
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: coming to work and enjoying your job, but then also

827
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: making plays on the field, because really, you know, players

828
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: make coaches good or not. You know, you can't be

829
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: a good coach with bad players. That's kind of the

830
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: reality of it right there. And he's a good player,

831
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: so he makes us all look a lot better. Um,

832
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: we needed to get place from him. He definitely stepped up.

833
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: And uh, look he's been a blasted coach. J dot

834
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: Com and Joe, what was the message to Evan especially,

835
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, we had a couple of tough drops and

836
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 1: then one of them obviously became an interception? I gains.

837
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: I know you've been really you know positive him this year,

838
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: But what was the message after those? Yeah, real simple,

839
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: I just stressed him, Hey, look the balls slick, Let's

840
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: get our hands closer together and want to keep throwing

841
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: to you, so get ready to catch it. And and

842
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: what has Dante Pettis showing you these last two weeks.

843
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: He had that touchdown obviously today, and he showed it

844
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: a little something last week too. Yeah. I think Dante's

845
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: guys continued within our schemes and system of really having

846
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: some production. Sharan, he can get open to make some play,

847
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: so may not go one for us today. I actually

848
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: made a couple of us today, So I mean like

849
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: he continues to be a player to keep sean improvement.

850
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: That's what we ask from all of our guys. Thanks Coat,

851
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: all right. So that was Joe Judge speaking with the

852
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: media following the giants twenty nineteen victory over the Dallas

853
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys as they keep their hopes alive for the NFC

854
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: East title. Needs some help as Washington will play Philly

855
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. A Philadelphia win gives the Giants

856
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: the NFC's title. A Washington win would wrap it up

857
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: for Washington. Will step beside when we come back. We'll

858
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: get you caught up with everything else happening around the

859
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: NFL in Week seventeen. Tons of playoff implications across the board.

860
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Eagles will join me as well as we move

861
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: forward here on Mercedes Benz Giants Extra Point. We'll be

862
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: back right after this. You're listening to Mercedes Benz Giants

00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: A N and w f A N FM, New York. Alright,

867
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: the guy goes sports tests with this sports update, I'm

868
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: Lance Meadow. Let's take you through the week seventeen NFL scoreboard.

869
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: Plenty of games currently in progress. In the second quarter,

870
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: the Packers now have just moved in front of the

871
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: Bears fourteen to tan Aaron Rodgers two touchdown passes in

872
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: that one of green Bay win gives them the number

873
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: one overall seat in the NFC. The Bears need to

874
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: win to punch a ticket to the postseason. Also the

875
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: second quarter, it's the Broncos ten Raiders nine. The Cults

876
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: are blanking the Jaguars seventeen nothing. In the second quarter.

877
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: Indianapolis can now get into the playoffs with a win

878
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: because Miami fell to Buffalo earlier today. Fifty six to

879
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: twenty six, as Josh Allen and company rolled over the Dolphins. Elsewhere,

880
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: in terms of other games currently in progress, second quarter,

881
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Chargers of the Chiefs are tied at fourteen. Kansas City

882
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 1: has already locked up the number one seat in the

883
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: a f C. The Cardinals and Rams is a play

884
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: game for the postseason winner automatically punches their ticket. Cardinals

885
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: up seven three over the Rams hit the second quarter.

886
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: Also in the second Seahawks sixty nine is nothing. Saints

887
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: and the Panthers are tied at seven. New Orleans could

888
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: potentially still claim the number one seed if the Packers

889
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: slip up against the Bears and Tennessee leads Houston ten

890
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: three also in the second quarter. A Tennessee win gives

891
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: them the a f C South title. Everything else has

892
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: gone final. The Ravens are heading to the postseason. Claubert

893
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: the Bengals thirty eight to three. Lamar Jackson getting to

894
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: one thousand rushing yards for the second time in his career,

895
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: the first quarterback in NFL history to accomplish that feat.

896
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: Everybody else who has got into one thousand has only

897
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: done it once. It was the Browns twenty four. The

898
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: Steelers twenty two. How about Cleveland going to the postseason

899
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: for the first time since two thousand two. The Vikings

900
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: edge the Lions thirty seven thirty five Kirk Cousins four

901
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards, three touchdowns. The Patriots doubled up the

902
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: Jets fourteen, so the Jets finish at two and fourteen.

903
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers cruise pass the Falcons forty were twenty seven.

904
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has locked up the number five seed, so

905
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay awaits the winner of the NFC East in

906
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: the wild card round of the postseason. That was the

907
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: NFL and Action. It was brought to you by Bigelot,

908
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: grab a mug and t proudly as we welcome you

909
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: back to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra point Lance Meadow. Jeff

910
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: Feagles with you. We're recapping the Giants victory of the

911
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys to finish up the season at six and ten

912
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: and now still staying mathematically alive for the NFC East title.

913
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: And this was yet another close affair, Jeff. It seems

914
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: like just about every single game in the NFC East

915
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: has been one that comes down to the wire, and

916
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: they had two turnovers in this game. Dallas Core ten

917
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: points off of that. But they made the necessary plays

918
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: when they needed to, specifically the pass rush with the

919
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: season I six sacks and then the run by Wayne

920
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: Goldman to prevent Dallas from getting the ball back. Yep.

921
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: And we always talk about how to win football games

922
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: in close football games, and like you said, normally these

923
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: games are very close when it comes to the division,

924
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: no matter what division you're in, Um, they're always close.

925
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's it's nice to see some

926
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: of these younger guys lance making plays. And McKinney went

927
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: up made a play and you know it could have

928
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: easily uh knocked it down or not caught it, but

929
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: he made to play. Leonard Williams a guy that's just

930
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: I mentioned on our pregame show that I wanted to see,

931
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: you know how he was gonna play today, and he

932
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: just showed up. Um, big players make big plays in

933
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: big games. That's something you hear about all the time.

934
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: And this Giant's defense, they really stepped up. The offensive line.

935
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: Both lines played well today. They gave Daniel Jones sometimes

936
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: and make some really good throws. The one interception wasn't

937
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: his fault and one fumble wasn't his fault. But you know, overall,

938
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: Joe Judge had his team prepared. Um, he had his team.

939
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: They're they're very well disciplined. This is gonna be a

940
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: fun team to watch grow in the next year or so.

941
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: And I think that now they just get to sit

942
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: back and wait. I've been in this situation before. It's

943
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: nerve racking, um, because there's so much that can go

944
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: into a lance. I mean, you're sitting here waiting for

945
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: this game to end tonight and it's not gonna end.

946
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: I would definite be in bed by the time it ends.

947
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you that, but I will know in

948
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: the morning. And the thing about it is most of

949
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: the players, they gotta say, Okay, are we going home?

950
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: Is it baggy day where everybody goes into you know,

951
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: into the locker room and clears out their lockers, or

952
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: are we gonna be getting uh, you know, a schedule

953
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: for the week. It's kind of exciting. Absolutely, And you

954
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: brought up Leonard Williams. He is our player of the game,

955
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by the members and contractors of local

956
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: Operating Engineers. He like a twenty five building our future.

957
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams filled up the statue and then some seven tackles,

958
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: five solo. He had three sacks, so he had three

959
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: of the team six sacks, three tackles for loss, one

960
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: pass defense, and also four quarterback hits. The Giants had

961
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: six sacks, nine quarterback hits. Williams was at the center

962
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: of it. And four of those six sacks came on

963
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: third down when Dallas was all of a sudden a

964
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: play here or play there away from moving the chains

965
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: and continuing a drive or perhaps even getting into the

966
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 1: end zone. So it wasn't just the fact that they

967
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: got to Andy Dalton, Jeff. It was the fact that

968
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: they were very timely in which they were able to

969
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: deliver the pressure sure third downs. UM, And you know,

970
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the number was is far what

971
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: the down and dis the down was third down, but

972
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: what the distances were to convert those third downs. But UM,

973
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you're doing your good job on first

974
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: and second, then you can kind of pin your ears

975
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: back on third down. And you know, the secondary played

976
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: really well today. They didn't give up any big plays,

977
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: which was one of the things that, uh was one

978
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: of the keys to the game. Earlier when we mentioned that, UM,

979
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: they had a three or receivers that could certainly do

980
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: damage in the receiving game, so they didn't do that.

981
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: The Giants defense to let them kind of just h

982
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: They didn't really get much that was gonna think the

983
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: biggest play was twenty three yards today. Um, and I

984
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: think that that was a big, big, big plus for

985
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: the defense. So um, you know, all around the Giants

986
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: And what's funny about this game. The game of football

987
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: is crazy when you look at statistics. The Giants did

988
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 1: not convert a third down today. They were over sick,

989
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 1: but they win the football game. It's crazy. Third and eight,

990
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: third and nine, third and nine in terms of when

991
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: the Giants were able to record their sacks, just to

992
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: give you an idea, so Dallas was in a passing situation.

993
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: Giants then prevented them from getting into maybe a manageable

994
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: fourth down in order to perhaps move the chains, and

995
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: that was critical in sealing the twenty three nineteen victory

996
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: for the Giants over the Cowboys. We'll step beside, we'll

997
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: come back. We'll continue to update you on what happened

998
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 1: around the rest of the league in NFL Week seventeen

999
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: and what to make of the Sunday Night affair between

1000
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,919
Speaker 1: Washington and Philadelphia, especially with Washington expected to have three

1001
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: key players back in the lineup. We'll have more right

1002
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: after this. You're listening to Mercedes Bends Giants Extra point

1008
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: Onmlance Medal. Let's take you through the week seventeen NFL scores,

1009
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: all school wars here in the second quarter that are

1010
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: currently in progress. It's the Packers fourteen, Bears, ten, Raiders

1011
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: and Broncos not at a ten, Colts shutting out the

1012
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars seventeen nothing, Chargers and Chiefs are not at at fourteen,

1013
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals seven Rams, three, Seahawks blanking the forty nine or

1014
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: six nothing. The Saints just took a lead over the

1015
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: Panthers thirteenth to seven, with the extra point pending. Tennessee

1016
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: shutting out Euston seventeen to six, actually because the Texans

1017
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: just scored a touchdown, so they finally got on the board.

1018
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: As they are going to add the extra point to

1019
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: make it seventeen now to six in favor of Tennessee.

1020
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: Elsewhere it all went final. You had the Bill's cruise

1021
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: past the Dolphins fifty six to twenty six. The Ravens

1022
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: crushed the Bengals thirty eight to three, Browns going to

1023
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time since two thousand two,

1024
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: victory over the Steelers, Vikings thirty seven, Lions thirty five,

1025
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: The Patriots doubled up the Jets fourteen, and the Bucketeers

1026
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: crushed the Falcons forty four to twenty seven. That was

1027
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: NFL and Action. It was brought to you by Big Lot,

1028
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: grab a mug and t proudly as we welcome you

1029
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: back to Mercedes Bands. Giants extra point, Lance Meadow, Jeff

1030
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: Feagles with you. Giants beat the Cowboys to snap a

1031
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: seven game losing streak to Dallas. So the Giants now

1032
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens on Sunday Night football. And

1033
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about the defensive effort, and it was

1034
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: important for the defense to come through, Jeff, because even

1035
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: though the offense broke out of its shell to a

1036
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: certain degree with three touchdowns, they only did finish with

1037
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 1: twenty three points, and you know that is slightly over

1038
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: their average on the season. But it was preventing Dallas

1039
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: from punching it in in the red zone that I

1040
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: thought was the biggest difference maker between both of these

1041
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: teams because Dallas had opportunities and moving to football, it

1042
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: was the fact that the Giants didn't let them score

1043
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns and had to have them settle for field goals instead. Yeah,

1044
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just another great coaching game by Patrick Graham.

1045
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: I think that you know, we've got a guy. The

1046
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: Giants coaches um have done such an exceptional job at

1047
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: getting these teams that the players ready to play these games.

1048
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: And I think hatch Ack Graham, uh, what an outstanding

1049
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: job game planning against this Dallas team has put up

1050
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: a lot of points and so they were disguising coverages

1051
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: they were if you looked at some of the rushes

1052
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: they did today, they had Leonard Williams on the outside

1053
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot today where he got a lot of pressure.

1054
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: One of the sacks came from there, so they were

1055
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: able to change some things up and they carried that

1056
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: over into the red zone where this team has done

1057
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: has uh done a lot of damage the Cowboys lately,

1058
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: so um, it's big. And the other thing that the

1059
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: Giants did well today, uh they did have the you know,

1060
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: the turnovers. But this team, this Dallas team has been

1061
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: has been living off turnovers and winning games because of

1062
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: it and taking those turnovers and turn them into points. Now,

1063
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: they did ten points today on it, but it wasn't

1064
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 1: twenty or twenty five points like they've gone in the past.

1065
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: So the Giants did a good job at that. That's

1066
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: why it was so critical for the Giants defense to

1067
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: come through because, to your point, Dallas down twelve takeaways

1068
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: in its final four games. Fifty eight points they've scored

1069
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: on those twelve takeaways. That includes the numbers from today's games.

1070
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: So you don't want to all of a sudden give

1071
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,439
Speaker 1: them great field position or worse, to your point, allow

1072
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: them to score a touchdown. That's how all of a sudden,

1073
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: a sizeable lead early on twenty nine at halftime can

1074
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden turn into a deficit. And the

1075
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: Giants were not in a position to make sure that
