15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: the Commanders in another battle that went down to the

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: nitty gritty, down to the wire as they top Washington

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve and the Giants get their first win

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: against an NFC East foe this season. They improved to

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: one three and one in that category, and most importantly,

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: now they owned the tiebreaker against Washington. If that comes

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: into play depending on how the next three weeks play

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: out in terms of multiple teams fighting for two spots

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: still have for grabs for NFC wild cards. And how

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: about the fact that the Giants ended a very lengthy

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: streak in prime time. They had lost their last eleven

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: games in prime time over the last four seasons. They

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: earned their first victory in prime time since Week ten,

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen in San Francisco when they beat the

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: Niners seven to twenty three on Monday Night Football. So

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: that is a significant breakthrough as well the defense coming

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: through at the end. It was third and goal at

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: the six and then fourth and goal at the six.

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke pressured hit by a Zizo Glari, who has

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: made his presence felt since he's returned from I R

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: over the last few games, forcing the incomplete san and

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: then Heineke takes a shot to Curtis Samuel in the

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: end zone and Darnay Holmes from behind able to knock

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: the ball away and the Giants survive another battle with

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. But prior to this drive, it should

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: not be overlooked what se Kwon Barkley did on the ground,

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about this over the last few weeks,

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the inability to have that rushing attack finished games. Like

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: we saw earlier in the season, they went nine place

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: fifty four yards. They settled for a field goal, but

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: se Kwan on this drive carried the ball seven times

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: for forty eight yards in milked clock over four minutes.

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: They were able to make it in eight point lead

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: again and force the Commanders to not only get a touchdown,

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: but if they were successful then convert on the two

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: point conversion. They obviously never got a shot for that.

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280

Speaker 1: Radio Network, brought to you by p S e and

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: g I had being a shotgun. Set takes the snap

63
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: back and throws out the prescious sacked by Tibodau. The

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: falls flues on the ground, stripped up in the end

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown. Save on Tibodeau with the sack,

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: the force pump and then the touchdown. He completes the

67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: trends and the Giants take the league. The closer has

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: entered the building. He has been a monster in this

69
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: first half of the football game. And Carl remember when

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: he sacked Panicky at Mellie Stadium, He just sacked him.

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: This time he went in with the old lt shop

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and forced the funkball and that sacked that Bob reference

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: was in overtime two weeks ago as the Commanders were

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: pinned against the end zone. This time, though he gets

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: the ball loose, he recovers it and it's a big

76
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: reason why he is our player of the game, brought

Speaker 1: room as Brian Dable will shortly be addressing reporters, and

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: really multiple facets of this team came up big down

95
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the stretch. John. First of all, it was on the

96
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, se Kwon Barkley being able

97
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: to run for seven carries forty eight yards to set

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: up the fifty yard field go from Graham Gano and

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: then clearly a goal line stand and third and goal

100
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: from the six fourth and goal from the six, the

101
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Giants able to get two stops to preserve the win. Yeah, Lens,

102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: This reminded me a lot of some of the winds

103
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: the Giants had earlier in the year, where it came

104
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: down to a few critical plays and critical situations, and

105
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: this was a game where the Giants made those plays,

106
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: whether it's the uh stops in the red zone a

107
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: couple of different times from around the previous drive dext

108
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: to Lawrence had the forced fumble when Washington was inside

109
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: the ten yard line or inside the twenty yard line

110
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: at least, then they had the goal line. Stead at

111
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,119
Speaker 1: the end, you gave on Tibodeau strip forced fumble fumble

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: recovery for a touchdown. And there were just a couple

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: of individual plays here or there that really made a

114
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: difference in the game that was fairly evenly play. In fact,

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Washington out gained the Giants but over a hundred yards

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: if you look at the statue. But it was the

117
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Giants that made the critical plays. They won the turnover

118
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: battle to zero, which is always essential and very important.

119
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: If you win that turnover battle by two, you know

120
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: you're winning more than of your game. So the Giants

121
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: made some pivotal plays and some pivotal spots. Cavon Thibodeau

122
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: had his best game as a pro, made some big plays.

123
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: Remember he was the guy that kept Taylor Honeke out

124
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: of the end zone on that scramble on the second

125
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: down play before those two stops at the end to

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: keep him out of the end zone on that dive

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: for the goal line. So just a lot of really

128
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: good individual plays at the end of that game. Donny

129
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Holmes knocking it away on the jump ball on the

130
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: fourth down, you know, just go through it. The Giants

131
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: made enough big plays and big spots to walk out

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: of this game with the victory. And now they're in

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: the driver's seat. They won one more game land they're

134
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs. Well this was huge because

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: now they own the tie break or over the Commanders.

136
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: And we know that the Seahawks lost to the Niners

137
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. The Lions have won six of seven,

138
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: So any time you could get an edge over one

139
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: of the three teams that's fighting with you for two

140
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: wild card spots, it's sigigant. Plus it's their first win

141
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: john against an NFC East team, and that had been

142
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: something that had been haunting them all season long. So

143
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: that was big. I want to go to earlier in

144
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the game because you were highlighting some of the key

145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: critical plays. The eight team play nineties seven yard drive

146
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: that ended with a se Kwon Barkley three yard rushing

147
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: score that had been missing over the last few weeks

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: John mainly because the running game was basically non existent.

149
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: But we know this is a Washington team number one

150
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and time of possession, the Giants took

151
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: a page out of Washington's playbook. Not only did they

152
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: go the length of the field, but they finished it

153
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: most important with a touchdown. Yeah, it was their loan

154
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: touchdown drive of the game. On the other touchdown coming

155
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: on that takeaway and then FuMB war recovery by Cavon Thibodeau,

156
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: so it was sorely needed. They had a couple of

157
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: a third down conversions on that drive as a hydens

158
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: at the nineteen yard catch when Washington had a blown

159
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: coverage on a very simple flat slant concept and the

160
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Giants drove it down. It was a long drive. It

161
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: was one of those eyes or I don't think they

162
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: had to play. They go for more than twenty yards,

163
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: maybe just one, but I think that Hodgens played one

164
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: for nineteen officially. So it was one of those long,

165
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: steady drives with the Giants managed to convert a couple

166
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: of third downs and get down to get that score.

167
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: And a game like this that you know it is

168
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: gonna be low scoring. Remember the first game was just

169
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty. Every time you can get the ball

170
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown is going to

171
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: be critical because you saw how difficult touchdowns were to

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: come by for both teams in this game. And you know,

173
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: it was just a really really important drive. And at

174
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: that point before that drive, uh, the Giants had only

175
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: won eight offensive plays on their first two drives, and

176
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the offense took lifeless and it came to lot came alive,

177
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: and that that drive really turned the game around. Lets. Yeah,

178
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: they had a three and out to start, then they

179
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: went five plays nineteen yards and punted before all of

180
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, everything seemed to come together. And in a

181
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: game where, to your point, scoring was very hard, it

182
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: was critical for the offense to get things rolling, especially

183
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: after Cavon Thibodeau was the only guy to reach the

184
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: end zone. As we were awaiting Brian and Table, who

185
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: will be speaking with reporters shortly as the Giants top

186
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: the Commanders twelve. I thought another player that made his

187
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: presence felt Landed Collins, called up from the practice squad,

188
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: seemed to be very active and helping to stop the run.

189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: Clearly there was a hiccup or two along the way,

190
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: but you know there's a guy. I'm sure he was

191
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: motivated going up against his former team John, but it

192
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: was a much needed presence given you knew Washington was

193
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: gonna look to pound the football early on. Yeah, he

194
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: he had a couple of really big plays in there.

195
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: He had a big stop to force upon earlier in

196
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: the game, and he was he was a nice edition.

197
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: You know, Tony Jefferson had been playing that spot, and

198
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: you know they used both of them in this game.

199
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: And looked like landed and maybe injured himself late in

200
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: the game, and then he came back on the field.

201
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: He was back in there, so I think he's gonna

202
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: be okay. And this was the third elevation, so now

203
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: we're going to see whether or not he ends up

204
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: sticking um on on the fifty three if they want

205
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: to use him again to sign to a full time contract, So,

206
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, Lance, I just think a very essential win

207
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and it was again reminded me of the wins date

208
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. This reminded me a lot of

209
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: the that Ravens game right where they had a couple

210
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: of big plays late espec stually defensively, it was a

211
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: little bit different. They're trying to come back and win

212
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: against Baltimore this game, they had the lead and we're

213
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: trying to prevent Washington from coming back. But I think

214
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: it was just one of those games where they had

215
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: these really essential plays and they managed to UH pull

216
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: off the victory late in UH and the most critical

217
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: game of the year and really one of the more

218
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: critical games that they've played in UM in a couple

219
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: of years. And all you know, two years ago they

220
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: had UM at the end of the year they had

221
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: to win and then Philly had to lose for the

222
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: Giants to affiliate to win rather for the Giants to

223
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But this was really, you know, they're

224
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: most control your own destiny type of moments that they've

225
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: had since twenty sixteen. So just a big victory, their

226
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 1: loane victory in the NFC East and a game that

227
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: was close, they showed some medal, they showed that great

228
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: that they showed earlier in the year. And they win

229
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: another one score game, which is you know when they win,

230
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: these are the games that they win. So uh, the

231
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: Giants once again coming out on top, just making those

232
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: big plays when they have to, when getting contributions to

233
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: your point, from from from a lot of different guys.

234
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: And I thought Daniel Jones played well too. We even

235
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: mentioned him. Yet you know the numbers aren't Goldie Lance.

236
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: He make a ton of pick blaze down the field,

237
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: but he threatened the needle on a couple of plays

238
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: and that's short the midrange to confront crucial third downs.

239
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: He wants again to not turn the ball over, which

240
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: might be the most important part of his stat line,

241
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: and the offense that just enough to get twenty points

242
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: on the board for the Giants to come up with

243
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: the victory. Well, to your point, they are now eight

244
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: two and one in one possession games, and you look

245
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: at what they were coming in. They had the second

246
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: most one possession games that they had played entering today.

247
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: So now we get another one, and every single one

248
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: of their wins has been decided by one score. That's

249
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: the second most in the NFL, behind the Vikings, who

250
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: reached ten with their overtime victory over the Colts yesterday.

251
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: But this has been their m O. And when you

252
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: walk that tight rope, as I'd like to call it,

253
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: this is what happens. It comes down to five or

254
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: six cumulative plays over the course of a game. And

255
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: they got back to that, whether it be a Sa

256
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley run, whether it be a Cavon Thibodeau strip sack,

257
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: whether it be how about Jason Pinnock coming through with

258
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: some key deflections. I mean, we could go through the

259
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: roster top to bottom. There were several players that put

260
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: their stamp on this game. But that's what happens. If

261
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: you want to walk that fine line and you want

262
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: to survive all of these one score games, you need

263
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: about eight or nine guys to deliver in various facets

264
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: of the team. And they got back to what worked

265
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: for them early in the season. You know, it's funny.

266
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm going through the game book, which I half on

267
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: my phone in front of me. Here. Uh, from my look,

268
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the Giants did not have a play of twenty yards

269
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: or more in this game, which is pretty amazing when

270
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: you think about it, um that they were able to

271
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: come out with the victory without one play of twenty

272
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: plus yards. They had a couple of plays of one

273
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: play of nineteen yards to Hadgens Barkley in a fifteen

274
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: yard running there as well. But you know, it's one

275
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: of those games where they just did enough offensively. It

276
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: wasn't super dynamic. They only finished with two eighty eight

277
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: totally yards hundred and eight total yards of offense that yard,

278
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: so you know, and third downs they were just two

279
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: of ten. And if I told you some of these

280
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: numbers before the game, you would be like this the

281
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: whin the Giants won this game. But again, they made

282
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: those small, individ jewel plays and or shouldn't say big

283
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,359
Speaker 1: individual plays and crucial moments that really had an outsize

284
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: influence on the outcome of the game, including those two

285
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: takeaways that allowed them to walk away with this victory.

286
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: We are contemplating whether or not maybe we should step

287
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: aside here, John. It seems as if Brian Dable is

288
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: taking his time and we don't want to back ourselves

289
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: up too much. I know you're patiently waiting, but I

290
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: think we'll step aside we'll come back and hope to

291
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: hear from Brian Dable. Is the Giants top the Commanders

292
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve. We'll be back right after this. You're

302
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: fog game on the road. It's a division team that

303
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: I should have played a few weeks ago. Um, you know,

304
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: just made a few more plays than they did that

305
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: we protected the ball well and then some critical players

306
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: there at the end that we made and um, you know,

307
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: proud of the guys the way they compete it. So

308
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: it was a good win. Just okay, room sounds like

309
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: pretty beats the alternative. Yeah, um, information that the challenge. Yeah, yeah,

310
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: I'd say that again. Really all year. I've mentioned these

311
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: guys before, but but Kate and Tie, Um, you know,

312
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: they're really two guys that I lean on a lot

313
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: during the week in terms of management, clock management, fourth

314
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: down decisions over time decisions. H m hm. You know

315
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: that fourth down that we we went for there, that

316
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: was already you know, we knew we would go for

317
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: that in that particular situation, you know on Wednesday, you know,

318
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: after the morning meeting that I had with those guys. Um,

319
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: So I thought everybody contributed to the wind, those two

320
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: guys were certainly a big part of it. Um. You

321
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: know too Ivy leaguers, So try to listen to the

322
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: ivy leaguers performance at the end. The guy as well. Um,

323
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: I think he's consistently improved throughout the year. And yeah,

324
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: obviously I've said this before. I'm glad we drafted him.

325
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's part of the team. I think he's

326
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: gotten better each week. Um, he's a big part of

327
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: our defense. I thought he gave us obviously a lot

328
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: of juice that play that he made down there when

329
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: they were backed up to change the tide a little

330
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: bit early part of the game. Um, you know he's

331
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: one of our you know, he's very talented player, and

332
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: he played like it stress business because it was in

333
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: the next game, you guys were you're emotions right now

334
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of you try to stay consistent, uh, you know,

335
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: enjoy this one here on the on the way home,

336
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: and then get ready to go play another good team.

337
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: That's what you gotta be. I mean, I just don't

338
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: believe in ride roller coasters in this league. Um. I

339
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: did when I was younger a little bit. I wrote

340
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: it and it it doesn't do anybody any good. There's

341
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, the only thing you can control is what's

342
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: right in front of you. Um, So the outcome of

343
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago really has no bearing

344
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: on what you need to do for the upcoming week.

345
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: Just like this really will have no bearing on what

346
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: we need to do next week. I know it's a

347
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: not flashy, but that's just what I believe in. We

348
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: just figured it was awesome. Yeah, great play. My McLeod

349
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: got some pressure. Um yeah, I mean they did a

350
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: great job. I'd say the whole team did a really

351
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: good job, from the coaches to the players executing. Um.

352
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: Players fought competed hard coaches and that the coordinators did

353
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: a really good job of calling the game the way

354
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: we needed to call it. And again, like I talked

355
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: about this last week, it's four or five plays that

356
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: it comes down to, and you know our guys give

357
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: them credit. They made those plays playing the prime time

358
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: prime time coach Deon? Who's that coach? Deon likes him? Yeah? Um,

359
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's played in two prime time games

360
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: in the other fell will kind of slow the rule

361
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: on that one. Have you got any questions? I was

362
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask your challenge attacks, but it's not you can

363
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: got you what? Um? What did you see on that

364
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: last defensive plays? Talking about a lot of bast him

365
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: with an at dude notable there big that was a

366
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: good play, good play. M we we how badly to

367
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: need to really get back in the wing home to

368
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: me to have positive things going forward? Yere, I mean

369
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm badly was that I needed stuff and going the

370
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: other way. Yeah, I think it's really just week to week.

371
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean there's ebbs and flows of every season. Um.

372
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: I've said before a b C alternative, Um, you know,

373
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: it's good to see smiles on the guy's faces. And

374
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: that's why, because that's why I think it's really just

375
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: week to week. I don't I mean, there's ebbs and

376
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: flows of every season. UM. I've said it before a

377
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: BATS alternative. UM. You know, it's good to see smiles

378
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: on the guy's faces. That's why you do this, to

379
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: compete and try to get the outcome you're hoping for.

380
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: And you know sometimes you don't. UM, but that's not

381
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: for lack of doing things the right way, coming in

382
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: practice and higher preparing the right way. UM. So obviously

383
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: you you enjoy the result of winning. That's why we

384
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: all do this is to try to win. UM. But

385
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: these guys have worked hard, you know since we've been here,

386
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: and to try to remain consistent during those times. That's

387
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: not always easiest for you know, twenty three year olds. UM.

388
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm proud of the way they compete

389
00:19:52,800 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: it and just played the next play tonight. Yeah, that

390
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: they just focus on today. You know. That's again we

391
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: still have more ways to go here. We're building as

392
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: a team. UM. But I think they try to do

393
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: everything the right way that we asked them to do

394
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: and stay consistent with their approach and come in with

395
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: positive attitudes and get ready for the upcoming opponent. He's fine. Yeah,

396
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: from what they told me, he could. What was a

397
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: question they have to la against the Yeah, I was

398
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: questioned about my confidence in Daniel by who Oh, well,

399
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: I've I have confidence in Daniel. I've had since I've

400
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: been here. So uh no, I mean each game is different,

401
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: decision making processes are different, and we we talk about

402
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: those things on Wednesday and Thursday. I'd say, yeah, h

403
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: we spend a lot of time meeting times. Soon when

404
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: we get to the game, I can live with those

405
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: decisions because they're you know, we've we've studied them, we've

406
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: discussed them. Um. You know, it's what we believe in

407
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: to do for that particular game. And you know, if

408
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: they work, it's you know, a great call. If they don't,

409
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: they don't. But I can live with the process of

410
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: how we try to come to those conclusions each week

411
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: because of the time spent. And I'd say the um,

412
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: those two guys do a great job, Tie and Kate,

413
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: and they spend a lot of time on it um

414
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of good discussions. You know,

415
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: I might not always agree with them on Wednesday and Thursday,

416
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: but we keep on talking about it and going through

417
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: certain situations and um, and I said, we try to

418
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: be as detailed the throw as we can off and yeah,

419
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: what did you see? I saw an explosive down hill,

420
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: powerful runner and I was proud of heck with the kid,

421
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: you talk about what which one yard or just a

422
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of good execution. I mean we made some big

423
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: third downs. Um. I thought Richie and Daniel stood on

424
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: a couple of those. They had some you know guys

425
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: coming off the edge free stood in and made some

426
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: really tight throws. Richie made some good third downs. We

427
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: hit the fourth down to nine and I thought Calfica

428
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: called a really good play there to one to that

429
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: was sa kwan? Right? Was that k one? Yeah? Was

430
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: that on? That? Was that that drive? Yeah? I thought

431
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: that was good where he's kind of shifted and Daniel

432
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: went out. So I'd say a lot of good design

433
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: by the coaches, good play calls by Mike, But always

434
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: the credit goes to the players and executing hard to

435
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: hard to have those drives. I don't know how many

436
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: players it was, but um how many? How many? Yeah,

437
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's hard to do. Um, So credit

438
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: the players play Minnesota this year. What does that mean

439
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: to you? What does it mean that you're very close

440
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: now to making the playoffs? I don't know. I just

441
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: get ready to play who was at Minnesota this week? Saturday?

442
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: On Saturday. Yeah, it doesn't mean anything right now. I'm

443
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: just happy we won this game. And you know, you

444
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: get ready to play Minnesota. Well, we do that every

445
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: week every single week. So you don't know when those

446
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: things are gonna come up, or how things are gonna evolve,

447
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: or you know, do you go for it on fourth

448
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: and three? Do this? You try to make like there's

449
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: so many different things that come up. Do you have

450
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: discussions during the game. Yeah, And I have a line

451
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: that goes to special teams. I have a line that

452
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: goes to offense, out of line that goes to defense,

453
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: and I have a line that goes to Kate and

454
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: tie Um. So again, the amount of discussion and research

455
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: that I'd say the two of them do and then

456
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: sit down with me and we spent a lot of

457
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: time on it. Um. You know, there's i'd say a

458
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: lot of numbers and percentages, and then there's also real

459
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: conversation about you know, the players or the matchups. So

460
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: you kind of combined everything. I don't think you just

461
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: take one thing and say this is what you do.

462
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: I think there's you gotta have a feel for the game.

463
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: You gotta have a feel for your opponent. You gotta

464
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: have a feel for the mess the matchup. You gotta

465
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: have a feel for the weather if something is different.

466
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: So we're always in constant communication and we just try

467
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: to do what's best for us one I I'm just

468
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: happy to win the game. I mean, I've I think

469
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: I got to feel for the makeup of our team,

470
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: you know, since we've been here in O t a

471
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: s and training camp and all the games we had. UM,

472
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they just try to play the next play.

473
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: They're a group of hard working guys that focus on

474
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: what's in front of them, and that's UM A bunch

475
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: of good guys work with all right. So that was

476
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: Briant Dable addressing them me d of following the Giants

477
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve win over the Commanders. Right at the

478
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: tail end, he was talking about the influence of analytics

479
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: in his decision, especially to keep the offense on the

480
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: field for that fourth and nine part of that eighteen

481
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: playing nineties seven yard touchdown drive in the first half,

482
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: as Daniel Jones was able to hit Richie James for

483
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: eleven yards and keep the offense on the field. We

484
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: have plenty more to unravel. We're gonna get some player reaction.

485
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna look ahead to the next game against the

486
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: Vikings and from a mathematical standpoint, how big and crucial

487
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: this win was as the Giants look to keep their

488
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: playoff hopes alive. Brian Dable talked about Sa Kwan Barkley

489
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: being an explosive downhill runner. Will break down the Power

490
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: report next as we move along here on Pepsi Giants

491
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: Extra Point. You're listening to Pepsi Giants Extra Point on

492
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: the w f A N Giants Radio network, broke to

493
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: you by psc and G. Jones are the shotgun set

494
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: first content. The Giants went excess takes the snap, answered

495
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: off for Barkley up the middle, go springs aheads of

496
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: the thirty five and knockdown at the thirty seven yard line.

497
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: Knocked out at the forty yard line. Barkley against fourteen

498
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: more Carl The Giants have been better in this game.

499
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: Bretticon is at the left guard spot and that brings

500
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: us to the Power Report brought to you by psc

501
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: n G committed to providing safe, reliable energy now and

502
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: in the future. That fifteen yard run by Barkley was

503
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: his longest of the night, and it came as part

504
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: of a nine play fifty four yard drive that was

505
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: capped by a Graham Kiddo fifty yard field goal that

506
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: gave the Giants a twenty to twelve lead and that

507
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: would ultimately be the final over the Commanders in Landover Maryland.

508
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: But as a team, they ran thirty times for a

509
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: hundred twenty eight yards. Se Kwan led the way with

510
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: eighteen for eighty seven. Remember, coming in previous four games

511
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: he had been held to under seventy yards, so this

512
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: was a big step in the right direction, even though

513
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: the majority of his yards did come on that last

514
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: drive that I just reference. But here we go again.

515
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: When the Giants can set the tone on the ground,

516
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: it usually indicates good things for them, because it's no

517
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: coincidence over the course of this season that when you

518
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: look at the fact the Giants are now eight oh

519
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: and one when they have at least thirty rushing attempts,

520
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: and they're oh and five when they don't. Now clearly

521
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: that's not to say they should just run the ball

522
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: on the first thirty plays and call it at night. Clearly,

523
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: the context seas you have to be effective. They were

524
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: effective in running the football. You look at the breakdown

525
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: of their runs over the course of this game. You

526
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: had a negative five run in the first half. They

527
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: had no negative runs and not even a run for

528
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: no gain in the second half. That was huge in

529
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: terms of closing out this contest. As we welcome you

530
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: back to Pepsi Giants extra point. Daniel Jones also in

531
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: efficient performance for him During one stretch he completed nine

532
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: straight passes. He was he one of thirty two for

533
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty yards. And how about the fact that

534
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: he was not sacked once. That's significant considering the Commanders

535
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: had four in the first matchup two weeks ago. We

536
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: know about the firepower up front with Deron Payne, Montes

537
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: Sweat and Jonathan Allen. Daniel Jones had an opportunity to

538
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: speak with reporters after the game. Let's listen into that. Uh, yeah,

539
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it was one of them. Um,

540
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: you know it was consistent execution, play aff to play. Um,

541
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was yeah, good mix. I thought Calf

542
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: did a really good job on that one, keeping them,

543
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: keeping them guessing on what we were doing, and uh,

544
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: the guys did a good job of executing it. The

545
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: surprise is thirty nine, third, nine fourth and n time

546
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: you should be Here's no question surprised at that. I

547
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: think with where we were on the field and um,

548
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: you know how it was going, I think uh I

549
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: anticipated that a little bit, and um, yeah, it was

550
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: a big play. Richard Chi did a really good job

551
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: winning on that route, getting some separation for us, So

552
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: that was obviously a big play. That drivel yeah, love,

553
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's where you want to be as players.

554
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: You want to be in those positions, um, you know,

555
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: big plays with with a chance to deliver, a chance

556
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: to to uh execute and do what you gotta do

557
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: is to sustain a drive or make a big play.

558
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: And um, as players, we love being in those situations.

559
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Waiting mutching this year, coming down the score, you know,

560
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: moving from um yeah, you know, there are definitely some

561
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: nerves there, but a lot of faith in our defense.

562
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: They did a really really good job whole game, really

563
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: um holding them and then came up came up real

564
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: big at the end. Um, some big time plays plays

565
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: by those guys, So that's off for them. Ver Sean

566
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: Ross when you're getting the calls in your homet and

567
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're just beating the ball in your tender

568
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: seeing what he's going to be insane the quarterback. Was

569
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: that like to see it? Yeah, it's fun to watch,

570
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: fun to watch for sure, and um, yeah he he

571
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: took over there and um, you know, like you said,

572
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: you know a bunch of key runs. Um, and that's

573
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: what you know, that's what you expect out of your

574
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: How do your best players to to take over in

575
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and deliver? And um yeah, real, real,

576
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: big time by him to do that. Oh, line did

577
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: a great job get him, giving him some seams and

578
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: um that's all he needs to uh make some big plays.

579
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: So hats off to him. In his eyes, Like when

580
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: that drive started, we looked at him the houle and

581
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: maybe saw what was gonna come before I actually gat him. Yeah,

582
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: I think so. I think you could tell um as

583
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: soon as you know, as soon as we're getting that

584
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: drive talking to the huddle, Um, you know he's ready

585
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: to go. He's asking for the ball. He was asking

586
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: for those chances and and uh, you know haven't spent

587
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: as much time with him as I have. It's it's

588
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: no price to me that, Um, you know, he loves

589
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: being in those situations. He loves the opportunity to um

590
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: potentially close the game out and and uh, you know,

591
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: make a couple of you know, a lot of really

592
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: big plays Daniel the last season and you guys kind

593
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: of got she lacked by Washington. And that was in January,

594
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: so within the calendar year. Now you guys are here

595
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: here in playoff positions potentially and just won this game.

596
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Can you explain how far do you think this team

597
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: has come within Yeah, I man, I think last year

598
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: was uh you know, circumstances were very different, uh with

599
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: that game, and um, you know, we've we've improved every

600
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: week this year and proud of where this team is

601
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: at this point. We've got a lot, you know, we

602
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: still need to improve on and still need to sharpen up,

603
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: and that's what we're gonna focus on doing this week.

604
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: But we've certainly improved a lot, if you like the way.

605
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: But tonight, UM, I mean I think I made some

606
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: uh good decisions for the most part, Um, you know,

607
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: some key conversions that kept drives going critical uh points

608
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: of the game, and um, yeah I thought I saw

609
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: I saw the field pretty well. So um, you know,

610
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: I'll look look at the tape see what I can

611
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: improve on. But big win for us. A lot of

612
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: guys stepped up. This is one you never play. Uh. Well,

613
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: it feels good to get to win. It's you know,

614
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: a big win for us, and you know, playing meaningful,

615
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: meaningful games here in December. Um, you know it's where

616
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: you want to be. But uh, there's still you know,

617
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: we still got three more important games for us and

618
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: we haven't achieved that goal yet. We still gotta um,

619
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: still gotta play well and we'll take it one week

620
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: at a time. I did. Yeah, it was. It was

621
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: a heck of a play um by him. And uh

622
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: you know he had a similar one a couple of

623
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago, um and got the sack on that one

624
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: and then you know, sack fum will touchdown. Uh this

625
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: week was Yeah, it was an incredible play. He's playing

626
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: on extremely high level right now. Alright. So that was

627
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones speaking with reporters as the Player Press Conferences

628
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: brought to you by MetLife, the official insurance company of

629
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: the New York Giants is the Giants top the Commanders

630
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: twenty to twelve to now own the tiebreaker over Washington.

631
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: As there are still four teams competing for the final

632
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: two wild card spots, with the Seahawks and the Lions

633
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: both in the mix, but the Giants now are eight

634
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: five and one. Everyone else has seven wins and in

635
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: the lost column, the Giants are two up on the

636
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: Lions and the Seahawks, and even though they're one on

637
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: the Commanders since they owned the tiebreaker, they're really two

638
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: up based on the mathematics of how things will play out.

639
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: That's why this was a huge win. As we get

640
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: down the stretch to the final three games, we'll get

641
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: more into that. We'll hear them some more player reaction

642
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: as well as their next challenge quick turnaround Saturday on

643
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: the road against the Minnesota Vikings, who had a miraculous

644
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: comeback at the expense of the Indianapolis Colts. On Saturday,

645
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: we'll be back with more on Pepsi Giants Extra Point.

Speaker 1: n f M New York Shotguns Gibson for the riot

652
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: of Heinekey. Two receivers right true to go out, Icky

653
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: back to throw, feel some pressure, gets hit and get

654
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: sacked back to the ten yard line. Paul came out

655
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: when he was down loss of three on loss of

656
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: five on the play, Giants got pressure. The coverage was good.

657
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Third sack of the ball game for Heineke. It's good.

658
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: Carpets underneath Osilaria Dexter Lawrence split the sack and that

659
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: is tonight's playing the game. It's brought to you by

660
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: your local Ford Stores. Visit by Ford now dot com

661
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: for the official vehicle of the New York Giants. Because

662
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: what had happened is Brian Dable challenged the play. They

663
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: went back, they looked, and Heineke actually lost control of

664
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: the ball before he went down, so it turned out

665
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: to be a strip sack the second of the game

666
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Leonard Williams was able to recover it

667
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: and the Giants came up with a huge play when

668
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: it was third and fourth the Giants five as they

669
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: marched down the field in the blink of an eye,

670
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: because Heineke started to drive with a huge pass to

671
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: John Dotson for sixty one yards as Dotson made a

672
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: great play over j Said Pinnock who overran the ball,

673
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: and a few plays later they're knocking on the door

674
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: at the goal line they're able to get to Heineke

675
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: forced the fumble. Now, granted Washington probably would have attempted

676
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: a field goal, they still would have needed another touchdown,

677
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: So when you add up all of the hypothetical points,

678
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: who knows, But it was a really good decision to

679
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: challenge the play. Giants had nothing to lose at the

680
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: point of the game, and also another productive game against

681
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: the Commanders in which the pass rush made its presence felt,

682
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: and that is going to be key as they go

683
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: up against Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan and of course Janelyn

684
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: Hurts in the final three games of the season. Earlier,

685
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: I referenced the Giants rushing attack and sat Kwan Barkley

686
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: making his presence felt with seven carries or forty eight

687
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 1: yards on that last drive that ended with a Graham

688
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: Goodo fifty yard field goal. Let's listen in to what

689
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: Sa Kwana had to say following the twelve win for

690
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: the Giants. Clock is going though the mindset up, your

691
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: working Um, you know, just trying to finish the game.

692
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: The old line did a great job leaning on them

693
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: all game. Um, we knew stuff is gonna start popping.

694
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: It's only a matter of time, and you know, it

695
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: kind of timmed up at the right time. Bobby and

696
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: Cap did a great job calling plays. Um, and I

697
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: guess looking back when they I really wish we would

698
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: have ended up at six there and ended up with

699
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: the ball in our hands. But we're able to get

700
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: points out of that situation and our defense came out

701
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 1: our back this week. You need player neating great ground

702
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: and then a moment all that. I mean, it's not

703
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: really in your mind. Uh, you realize the moment um

704
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: and like you said, you want to be a guy.

705
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: You want to make plays in that moment um. Man,

706
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: you kind of just the last take a deep breath

707
00:37:52,680 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: and let your budy take over happen. I felt pretty good. Um,

708
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: you know we got got the run game going at

709
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: the end. Um, the old line kept leaning on him. Uh,

710
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, we knew it was gonna pop at

711
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: some point, and you know, we kept trusting it, and

712
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: Calf and Bobby and all these guys did a really

713
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: good job of continue trust running and make the right costs.

714
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: Great play called about great design by you know, all

715
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: the coaches and um kind of once I saw we

716
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: do an emotion, I knew we had numbers and it

717
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: was on me to make it make it working. Oldline

718
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: did a great job of blocking up and pleasing when

719
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: walking everything. Pope. Oh yeah, I mean, uh, you go

720
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: through strides, you go through up and down. Through the

721
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: season start off really fast. Um, had a little stretch

722
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: where you know, the run game wasn't really getting going.

723
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: But it only takes one game, um, and hopefully this

724
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: game and catapult us uh to continue get the run

725
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: game going and for the rest of the season. Sorry

726
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: answers alreadybody, what changed on the last possession she's doing? Yeah, Um,

727
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: nothing really changed. We just stuck with it. We kept

728
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: trusting it. We didn't abandon run obviously in that situation.

729
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: Uh situation. It's contentrary in like four minutes already. I

730
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: know it's like five minutes on o'clock. But Oline did

731
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: a really good job of continue to lean on him

732
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: throughout the whole game, and the holes popped the holes

733
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: popped open, and I was gonna make the right breas

734
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: and cuts and get one on one of the safety

735
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: and make some guy's mess. You feel like we were

736
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: taking over the game at that point. I mean it's

737
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: like fifteen whatever it was back back. I mean, you

738
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: gotta be yourself for your biggest critics. So we didn't

739
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: end up with six in that situation. Um, we got

740
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: find a way to and it was six or the

741
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: ball in the hand and just end the game right there.

742
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of football. Um, you know, defense

743
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: and specially defense, specially kind of back. The most shake

744
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: one about Daniel to night, he's he's done it all year.

745
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: I kind of knew he's gonna play really well this game.

746
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: The ball was just snapping off his hand. Um in

747
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: pre games and it was a big game, big moment,

748
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: and we need our big time players to make big plays.

749
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: And how you see a lot of those guys step up,

750
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: not only Danny, you see Cavon, dex Leo, let's go

751
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: on on throughout all the guys. I stepped and made

752
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: big place for us teams like whenever you get money,

753
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: it's like it was, we know we're good wherever the

754
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: laymark we gotta get to and we're trusting Graham and

755
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: he's he's been doing for a very long time. Um.

756
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: Every time I see Graham goes back to my rookieyear

757
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: and when he could beat it like with a sixty three,

758
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: y'all feel go so uh yeah, kicker too. He's one

759
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: of the leaders and one the captains. Um, he's one

760
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: of one of my big time players. And he made

761
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: a big time kick too. I know, right, it's kind

762
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: of weird. I don't know. We thought about the game

763
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: came on. He did pretty I mean, you know, the

764
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me that stood out outside of his

765
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: performance was before the game, Um, a rookie stepped up

766
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: and called everyone up and got it's going. Um, that's

767
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: big the show was his leadership qualities. So a type

768
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: of person he is, um, and it's every single day

769
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: he come to work. Every single day he grinds and

770
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: he works on his craft and gets better. Um. And

771
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, big time players need this

772
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: type of this game. Our guy's gotta be the guys

773
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: and he's one of those guys, and UM, I think

774
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: that's just the start thinking he showed what he's capable

775
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: to do. UM. And if he's are gonna really breakf him,

776
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: who's I would imagine you probably all right, that's what

777
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: you said. Maybe that was before the game, Um, after

778
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: we stretched on the field. After after we stretch. Uh,

779
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: we all call it up. We always get in and

780
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: usually is is a UM we one of defensive guys

781
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: and he and shot away from moment. What does that Huh?

782
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: It's big when a rookie steps up in that moment

783
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: um in a big game, UM just shows you his

784
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: character to his least qualities. Uh. And and that's big.

785
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: And you know, not only did he step up and

786
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: talk about it, he was he beat, he was about

787
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: it on the field. Um. He let's play through talking

788
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: to for four years. Yeah, he wants to do that.

789
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: You're kind of at that point as a team, as

790
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: an organization having UM. Yeah, there's been a lot up

791
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: and down throughout these past couple of years. But what

792
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: does it really mean? You know, it means we gave

793
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: ourselves a better chance a calm shark goal. UM. And

794
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: you know that's one day at a time. Uh, Come

795
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: in how to quick turn around against Saturday against a

796
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: really good team who just came back from being down

797
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: from thirty three points at three six points. Um, but

798
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: you know none of us have shot in his locker room.

799
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: We knew what we were capable of doing the season,

800
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 1: and we put ourselves in the tropasy to control own destiny.

814
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: also made his presence felt in the end zone as

815
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 1: the Giants top the Commander's twenty to twelve and landover Meryl.

816

Speaker 1: and w f A N f M, New York. Welcome

823
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: back to Pepsi Giants Extra Point. Lance Metta with you here.

824
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: As the Giants top the Commanders twenty to twelve and

825
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: land over Maryland did FedEx Field. They improved to eight

826
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 1: five and one overall on the season, four and two

827
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: on the road, and they now earned the tiebreaker over

828
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: the Commanders after both teams played to a tie in

829
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: week thirteen. A goal line stands for the Giants. Third

830
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: and goal from the six, Taylor Heineke was hit by

831
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: a Zizo Glary in complete pass and then he tried

832
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: to throw it to Curtis Samuel on fourth and goal

833
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: from the six, and with Darnay Holmes behind Samuel on

834
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: the play may have gone away with a little contact,

835
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: but nonetheless no flag, no penalty, and the Giants win

836
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: by eight to twelve. Cavon Thibodeaux had quite the performance

837
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: speaking of the defensive side of the ball, as he

838
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: was able to get the strip sacked for a touchdown.

839
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: Remember he also had a strip sack against the Baltimore

840
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: Ravens earlier this season where he knocked the ball away

841
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: from Lamar Jackson that helps seal that victory. So we're

842
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: starting to see a number of game changing plays, specifically

843
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: in one score games thanks to the rookie pass rusher

844
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: and Thibodeaux spoke with reporters after the game. Let's listen

845
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: in to what he had to say. So it seems like, oh, man,

846
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't lie to you all. I ain't lie yet.

847
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: It's not a little wink to it. But to see

848
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm good two weeks ago you did I'm really hard

849
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: because and a few hours ago whatever he did him

850
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: and what did you learn something from that? And trying

851
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: to do something different and I'm doing different. Honestly, it's manifestation.

852
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: I had to talk to my mom before the game,

853
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: and you know, she said it was on her heart

854
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: to tell me that you know, you can do anything

855
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: that you put your mind to. So for me, I

856
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: had to I had to say it and believe it,

857
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: and I was able to go do it. Me and

858
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: disease At the Two Man Show, remember ask how I'm saying,

859
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: can you just running? You know, and you're you know, um, yeah,

860
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: this game was gritty, you know, if I had to

861
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: really tell you about it, it was a game that

862
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, we knew you had to dig deep. Right,

863
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: it's cold, it's freezing you hurting everything. Everything is a gist,

864
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: you you know. And I think us as a team,

865
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: we took it upon ourselves to call our fights right

866
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: at that as a D line, there was no dodging, right,

867
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: everybody called out who they wanted and it was it was.

868
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: It was a battle, and um, she still got the ball.

869
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: So you know, when I hit him, I couldn't even

870
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: tell you what happened after that. I just see it

871
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: and kept going. When you zone, what did you see that?

872
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I was in coverage right there? So you know, it's

873
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard when you you know, playing a man

874
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: coverage and you gotta look back. But when I see

875
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: him coming, it's just like it's trap up, you know,

876
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: so uh, that was one and fourth at one moment.

877
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: And it's actually funny. I thought about this. I went

878
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: and told Daves, I said, put me in on fourth

879
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: to one me against anybody, I'm coming out victorious. So

880
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: once again that's me not being a liar. Have to play.

881
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna battle, you know. I think um Our coaches

882
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: are resilient and I think they called the game with

883
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: with fire, with passion, and the players see that and

884
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: it helps us building. And it's because we do it together. Right,

885
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: every every team they speak about this family. We're a family.

886
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: We're family. Come on, man, you know everybody not a family,

887
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: but we are. So let's let's let's be real and

888
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: and you can see it, you know, it's it exudes

889
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: out of how we play. So I think for us,

890
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: we just gotta continue to uh you know, stick together,

891
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: continue to keep our bodies right, stay healthy, and just

892
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:25,720
Speaker 1: keep going. On the quarterback, what you mean like an angle,

893
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean when you look down when you see him

894
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: running and you look down and you see the goal

895
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: line right there, and ain't even about angles. It's just

896
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: about making the play. So I couldn't tell you if

897
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: I had a good angle. I just know he saw

898
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: me and I saw him, and that's it. No, No,

899
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: you never wait, you know, you just keep you, just

900
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: keep working. It's gonna come. You know. That's one thing

901
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: that the Vets have been, you know, harpen on me

902
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: that you know you went, you go. However many games

903
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: I went without a sack, and and you know the

904
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: pressure is on and it's New York and it's fifty

905
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: people asking you what, how do you feel? You gotta

906
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: keep going, man, that's it. That's in life. I didn't

907
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: get here because I was waiting, and because I was

908
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: sitting back, and because I you know, I wanted to

909
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: see what was gonna happen. I take everything that's been

910
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: given to me, so I take everything that's in front

911
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: of me, because nothing is given. That's what I mean.

912
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 1: So nothing is a coincidence. It's not a coincidence thet

913
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: Can you replay all of that in your mind right now?

914
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: Or is that? I'm gonna be honest. I made a

915
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: joke on the sideline and I said, when you're playing football,

916
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: you can't think at the same time. So you gotta

917
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: let my Drinllin come down. I'll be able to tell

918
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: you what happened. To all, huh, oh, of course you

919
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: thought I was leaving without that. Come on, man, not exactly.

920
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: He was on the sideline. I don't know if you

921
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: overheard first thing. Ha ha, that's uh, you know, that's funny.

922
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: I talk a lot. But this game and this this

923
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: is what we play. We're on to the next by

924
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: the time we wake up tomorrow, we're gonna forget it

925
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: out of it and it's gonna be on to the

926
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 1: next game. So in reality, I gotta do it again

927
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: or y'all gonna think I'm lying what you said. It's

928
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: a team. Um. I don't know if something came out

929
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: of me, man, and I uh, when it called him up,

930
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: I just felt the fire. I felt the passion to

931
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a guy who because I'm a rookie,

932
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: because I'm young, because you know, I'm new, I haven't

933
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, stepped into that leader role. I've been you know,

934
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: hanging onto my vets and and and being on the

935
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: side along the way. So you know, I just felt

936
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: a moment to, you know, speak my truth, and when

937
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: I did, everybody felt me. And we just you know,

938
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: we want to start the game off hot. You're talking

939
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: before about you know, call the pressure. H how much

940
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: did you feel the pressure? Did you know? It's funny

941
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: So I talked about you know, hearing the pressure, and

942
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: see it's just entertainment, you know, it's here you seeing

943
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: you guys talked about and seeing all that, and he

944
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: ain't got no sax and seeing people talk trash. I'm

945
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: a trash talker. So for me, it's all funny games.

946
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: And I know that in reality, I know what I

947
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: have to do to get better. I know what I

948
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: have to do to continue to grow. So I never

949
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: I never flinched, I never worried. I just knew, you know,

950
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: when the time come, I just gotta make the play.

951
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right. So that is Cavon Thibodeau speaking

952
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: with reporters following the giants twenty to twelve victory over

953
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: the Commanders. Let's run you through tonight's statistics, brought to

954
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: you by Pepsi. Giants watching is better with Pepsi, the

955
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 1: official soft drink of the New York Giants, Saying clearly,

956
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: Cavon Thibodeaux was a big reason why they got the

957
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: pass rush going. They were able to sack tell or

958
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: Heineke three times, two of which resulted in strip sacks

959
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: in which he lost the fumble and the Giants were

960
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: able to recover both one touchdown thanks to Thibodeaux. The

961
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: other one initially was ruled a recovery for Heineke and

962
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: then Brian Dable decided to challenge it and it was

963
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: reversed as the Giants prevented the Commanders from getting at

964
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: least a field goal attempt late in the game, so

965
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: that was significant as well. Jalen Smith had nine tackles,

966
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: Julian Loves seven, Ason Pinnock and Phibian Morrow with five,

967
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: darn A Holmes Zzo Glary with four, So this was

968
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: really a total team effort on the defensive side of

969
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: the ball with everybody chipping in. Richie James was the

970
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: leading receiver with four catches for forty two yards. You

971
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: look at both of these teams, they combined to go

972
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: three of twenty on third down. It really reminded me

973
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: of the first matchup where it was pulling teeth for

974
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: both teams. The only level of success that either team

975
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: had throughout the course of this game was really when

976
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: they completely avoided third downs. Washington had a six play,

977
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: ninety one yard touchdown drive all six plays were first downs.

978
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: They didn't face, forget third down. They didn't even face

979
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: a second down on that drive. And then if you

980
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,720
Speaker 1: look at the Giants eight team play drive for ninety

981
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: seven yards. Even on that drive there wasn't a high

982
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: volume of third downs. They got the big fourth and

983
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: nine conversion and they overcame a false start penalty, but

984
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 1: both teams had to navigate issues on third down. It's

985
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: amazing that that was the common element in both games.

986
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: And when you struggle to move the ball methodically up

987
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: and down the field, what does it come down to.

988
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: It comes down to some of those game changing plays

989
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: such as the strip sacks or the ability to run

990
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: the ball lead when se Kwon had seven carries for

991
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: forty eight yards and he started to drive with runs

992
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: of twelve, fourteen and fifteen yards respectively. The Giants, they

993
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 1: are known for playing close games. This is the eighth

994
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: one possession game that they've won this season. This is

995
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: nothing new. But when you play those close affairs, you

996
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 1: have to be able to finish strong, whether it be

997
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball or the offensive

998
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and that had been missing over

999
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Granted, a number of the games

1000
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: were lopsided affairs, so maybe we weren't putting every single

1001
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: player onto the microscope like we were tonight. But what

1002
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: got them in the right side of the column more

1003
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: often than not early in this season was they came

1004
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: through with we're not talking about a play here. They

1005
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 1: were talking about a game changing play, and more often

1006
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: they're not something that ultimately translated to a score, and

1007
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: that was significant. And when you could get a defensive

1008
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: play like that to put points on the board in

1009
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 1: a game where you only scored twenty points, the offense

1010
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: was only responsible for thirteen of the twenty points tonight.
