Now, all Marti, we might 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: as well start with the old Dell Beckham situation because 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: he goes to Cleveland in that trade a couple of 25 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and you see the press conference yesterday I did. Yeah, 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: it was a little weird, right, he was a little deflated. 27 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: It seemed to me he wasn't quite as bubbly as 28 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: he usually is. Yeah, I think when he I went 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: from the Giants to Kansas City, I remember that for 30 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: a little while, so I remember walking in the By 31 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: the way, he did not actually play for Kansas City, 32 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a training camp deal. He 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: is still a lifelong Giants exclusive player, which, by the way, 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: I'm very happy about it. I'm very happy about that too. 35 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: When I got to Kansas City and I'm sitting there 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: in the locker room getting ready for a preseason game, 37 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: and they're wearing all the red and they're wearing the kands, 38 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I don't think I really belong here. 39 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: I think I should just hang it up. And then 40 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: you get I pulled my hamstring and that kind of 41 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: sealed the deal. But I remember, going back to my 42 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: original point, I remember when when they called in the 43 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: media after practice US and when the giants calling the media, 44 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: there's forty fifty sixty people they called in the media 45 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Two people walked in k CMO radio 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: in the Kansas City started newspaper. Absolutely absolutely, And so 47 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: I think he was expecting a New York style press 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: conference and he got a Cleveland press conference as pact 49 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: as Cleveland could make it. I mean, I think I 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: think Cleveland is going you know there, They're definitely a good, 51 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: good football fans, but they just don't have the media outlets. 52 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: They don't have the you know, the different newspapers and 53 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: the different um what what what we have here in 54 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: New York. And so I think he went there and said, 55 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, my whole brand is made off of 56 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: media attention. How am I gonna how am I gonna 57 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: equal my exposure? You're in Cleveland with a limited media 58 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: outlet in New York, and it's not gonna happen. And 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: I think he realized that seeing it started just right 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: in his face, like, look, this is not New York anymore. 61 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: I Am not gonna be the New York Odell Beckham. 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be the Odell Beckham in Cleveland, and 63 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: I want to see how him, Landry Baker, Mayfield and 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: all the rest of them, how are they gonna get along. 65 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: There's only one ball. There's only one ball. I know 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: they played in college together, and I wish him all 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: the luck in the world. I really liked Odell Beckham. 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: I thought he was you know, he's dead, but as 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: a giant, I was. I was waiting for him to 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: break my records. I was, I was. I knew it was. 71 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: I thought he was inevitable. But I think he's gonna 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: have a route awakening playing in Cleveland as opposed to 73 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: playing in New York. Well, if they win and they 74 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: become a playoff team and they become a super Bowl contender, 75 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: that will certainly help a lot. It will not be 76 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: nearly nearly what the fanfare is when you win in 77 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: this city, because if you make it here, you can 78 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: make it anywhere. We already know Sinatra did it really well. 79 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't have to sing it for you, but in 80 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: any of your voice, I think you might have a 81 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: good you can pull it off there. I think I 82 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: got the Italian blood that I do have. But what 83 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: I will tell you folks, is that with Oudell Beckham Jr. 84 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: On the Cleveland Browns, the Giants now have a wide 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: receiver's room that is void of an immense talent and 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: is now going to have to pick up the slack 87 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: and do a lot of other things to win ball 88 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: games and also maybe even add another wide receiver to 89 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: the mix. So what do you see now when you 90 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: look at the mixture of guys that the Giants currently 91 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: have in that room. I think they have a good 92 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: receiving corps. They went from one of the better receiving 93 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: corps in the league to just the middle of the pack. 94 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: But not not taking anything away from the play the 95 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: players that we do have in our in our in 96 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: our receiving room, it's just they don't have the explosion. 97 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: They don't have the the the the player that's going 98 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: to garner all of the attention. I think it's going 99 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: to be a lot harder for Shepherd. It's gonna be 100 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: a lot harder um for Ingram because you know, luckily 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: they played without Odell Beckham a lot because of injury. 102 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: This last did do very very well offensively, they did. 103 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: But I think when you look at uh a long 104 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: term proposition, when you're when these guys are having to 105 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: get open by themselves, they're gonna be have coverage ruled 106 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: to them like the curbage was rolled to Odell Beckham. 107 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: That's where I see them either having to grow as 108 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: players or they're gonna have to bring somebody in that 109 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: can pick up that slack. And and not to say 110 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: that these guys can't do it, but it's gonna be 111 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: a lot more different. It's gonna be a lot more 112 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: difficult um because there is going to be UM. There's 113 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna be added pressure on each individual player. All right. Now, 114 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: let me ask you about Corey Coleman, because he came 115 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: to the Giants through this in the middle of the 116 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: season last year, a speed demon, a former number one 117 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: picks but not a few teams never really found his groove. 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: But with the Giants he became an outstanding kickoff returner 119 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: because he was able to utilize that speed. What do 120 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: you think his potential is to become that deep threat 121 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: guy that right now it looks like the room is 122 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: void up. It's hard to become a deep threat receiver 123 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: because it's not just the athletic ability you have to have. 124 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: It really comes down to timing with the quarterbacks. It 125 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: comes down to trust of the quarterbacks. It comes down 126 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: to the techniques that are going to allow you to 127 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: get off the line clean and be able to utilize 128 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: your speed. There's a lot more than being a um 129 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: a sprinter, There's not It's a lot more than as 130 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: being a sprinter. And you know, catching the ball has 131 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: been an issue when in different places that he's been 132 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: consistency in that. But you know, he's a first round pick. 133 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns took him for a reason, really high, but 134 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: he's bounced around the league for another reason. The Giants 135 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: did resign in this offseason, though, so they must think 136 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: that there's something there, absolutely, uh, And I think there's 137 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: something there. I just think that there's a reason why 138 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: he's been bouncing. There's a reason why the Cleveland Browns 139 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: moved on for him. And if he doesn't address those 140 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: reasons and improve his game, uh, you know, he he's 141 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: on the team now, but who knows how long because 142 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: if he's been because of the fact that he's been 143 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: bouncing as a first runner, which usually does not happen 144 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Okay, so what do you think Golden 145 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: Tap brings to the room, a guy who's had a 146 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: lot of experience, had big time experience on winning teams. 147 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: Went to the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks, so 148 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: so he understands what it takes to win. And certainly 149 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: he's been a a rugged receiver, had been physical and 150 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: been durable in his career. Absolutely, I I really like 151 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Golden Tates game. He is a guy that you can 152 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: look to and say, you know, you never have to 153 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: worry about his effort, you never have to worry about 154 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: his preparation or his desire to win. And he's a 155 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: guy that is is going to get you all the 156 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: dirty yards, gonna you know, make those catches where some 157 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: receivers would turn down opportunities to go across the middle. 158 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: This is a guy that extremely tough and uh, he's 159 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch because he's also once he 160 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: gets the ball in his hands, you know, he hasn't 161 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: as as as explosive as Odell Beckham, but he is 162 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: a rugged, hard to get down guy that it's gonna 163 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: be fun to watch. Running back he is, yeah, no, 164 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: he I think he was a running back in high 165 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: school Notre Dame. He was a receiver, but he was 166 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: very raw Notre Dame, and I remember he was very productive, 167 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: but I thought he was very raw. I think once 168 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: he got with Pete Carroll in UH in Seattle, he 169 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: really honed his skills. And then you know, going to 170 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: um Um, I guess the Eagles last year, and then 171 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: before that he was with the Right. He really had 172 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: some some fantastic years. I had a couple of thousand 173 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: of Yord season. There's no question the production is there. No, 174 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: he's he's he's a he's a good guy. He's a 175 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: good player on your team to havel Uh and him 176 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: and Shepherd. You know, if you can get one more, 177 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: you know, real deep threat. I think that, you know, 178 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: if Coleman could come back, come through and be that 179 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: deep threat, that'll be a really formidable UM receiving corps. 180 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: But as of now, you know, I still think there's 181 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: a hole for another receiver to emerge. Maybe that receiver 182 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: comes through the draft, maybe that receiver comes through free agency, 183 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: but there is a spot for another guy. And I 184 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: think that, um. You know, it's like I said, it's 185 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: not a bad receiving corps right now. It's it's a 186 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: it's middle of the road, but middle of the road 187 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: in the NFL is pretty darn good. Yeah for sure. 188 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: Al Right, we are on Big Blue Kick offf Live 189 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: up until the top of the hour.

I said A quick question. So, I know 195 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: yesterday you guys kind of talked about Kyler Murray maybe 196 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: not going number one overall, and you guys talked about 197 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: some options as far as grabbing him. But what the 198 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: options you didn't talk about was maybe if she does 199 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: not go number one overall, trading up with the Jets 200 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: for number three and grabbing him there, would you guys 201 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: have an issue with the giantsman that at that point. 202 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: I just with Kyler Murray in New York. I just 203 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: the size is an issue, um right, I think I 204 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: think it'd be a tough I mean, traditionally New York 205 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: has not had quarterbacks like him, you know, in New 206 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: York usually has the bigger quarterbacks. You know, you go, 207 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: can't grand you go to um Eli six six you 208 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: go to you'd have to go back all the way 209 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: to fran Tarking did. That's what I'm saying, small guy 210 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: who ran around a lot, That's what I'm saying. So 211 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: it's like are you are you? Are they? And it's 212 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: not just um the current coaching staff, but it's the 213 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: the everybody who's around who has been drafting for years 214 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: of this family. I don't know if they're going to 215 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: go out on a ledge and give up a lot 216 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: for somebody who they traditionally have not chosen those types 217 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Let me, Yeah, I'm changing a lot, you know, 218 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: in the way that things go and Russell Wilson having 219 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: success and by Ger having success last year, and you know, 220 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: kind of finding a formula of athletic quarterbacks that can 221 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: kind of do it all. And I'm fixing the lineup 222 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: this year, the oh line this year and passion or 223 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: being you know a quarterback. Whischer, I thought, you know, 224 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: maybe that might make a little bit of sense to 225 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of change the way that the city and the 226 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: way that New York kind of does things. Yeah, I understand, 227 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: but you know, football is the sport that it changes 228 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: for some teams dramatically. But I don't know how much 229 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: it changes for this team. I think we this team 230 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: has been you know, pretty there. You look at over 231 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: the years and you look at the rosters and they 232 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: pretty much they different names, but the sizes and the 233 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: strengths and the they're pretty much the same because it's 234 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: a tried and true thing and the formulas don't change. 235 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: It's not the formulas don't, you know, go up and 236 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: down like the market. The formulas are kind of are 237 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: very steady. Part part of that has to deal with 238 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: the climate to Thanks so much for the call, but 239 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, you guys are in the Northeast when you're 240 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: a New York Giants franchise, and you have to understand 241 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: you gotta play tough, rugged defense, and you're gonna have 242 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: to be able to have a powerful, strong, lom quarterback 243 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: who's gonna be able to make the throws and yeah 244 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: and and running around. I mean, I mean one of 245 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: the things you have to be as a quarterback in 246 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: New York is durable as well. I mean there's I mean, 247 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: Carrie never missed many games. Eli never missed many games. 248 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, you you have to be a bigger guy 249 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to take some of the punishment and you have to 250 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: sit in the pocket and be able to deliver. And 251 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's one thing we've I don't remember us 252 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 1: ever have you're talking about frand targeting. I mean, I 253 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: don't think I was even born. No, that's before your time, 254 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: not before my time, olash. And by the way, Phil SAMs, 255 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: who was injured early in his career quite often, was 256 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: so tough, so resilient. You know. Bill Parcels used to say, 257 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: he's not a quarterback, he's a football player, because this 258 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: guy was like a linebacker playing quarterback. He's huge. When 259 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: I first saw Phil Sims, I couldn't believe how big 260 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: he was. He's five six five six six. He's a 261 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: big dude. It's probably about six three and a half. 262 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: But they listed him I think at six four. But 263 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: he was really about but but he was he was thick. 264 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: He had to be because he got hurt so often 265 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: in his career early that he really worked so hard 266 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: at becoming more physically fit and a tougher frame and thicker. Anyway, um, 267 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: let me, let me just go back to a point 268 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: about Kyler Murray. We'll get to the next call in 269 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: just a second. People keep talking about the hype thing, 270 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: and I know he barely cracked five ten at the combine, 271 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: and then it was a headline like, wow, he's really 272 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: taller than we thought. As a wide receiver, let's not 273 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: talk about the quarterback who has to overcome obstacles being short. 274 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: As a wide receiver, do you have to look at 275 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: different angles or understand different things that you will have 276 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: to do if you're getting a ball or a pass 277 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: from a shorter quarterback, because maybe you can't see what 278 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: you need to see when you're looking back for the ball. 279 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever played with I think the 280 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: shortest quarterback I've ever played because a Michigan all our 281 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: quarterbacks are huge. I think the shortest quarterback I played 282 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: was Um. They were all six ft up, all of 283 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: them all. And I don't think I've ever played with 284 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: the quarterback under six feet Maybe in schoolould you could 285 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: you see where that might be a problem or am 286 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: I reaching here? And is that not something that would 287 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: ever bother you? Um? I think that. I think I 288 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: don't think it would bother me, because you don't really 289 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: quarterbacks never really throw over people. They usually find windows 290 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: to throw the ball between. Maybe it might be a 291 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: little bit distracting when a ball just comes out of 292 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: a window instead of coming out of you know, seeing 293 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: it coming out of the quarterback's hands. But most of 294 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: the time you don't see the ball coming out of 295 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: the quarterback's hands anyway. So I just thinking it through, 296 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it would make Monchy. When we were 297 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: at the Combine and we did our combined shows, I 298 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: think it was Pete Prisco from CBS came on and 299 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: we were talking about the Kyler Murray hype thing, and 300 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: he said he remembers talking to Drew Brees during the 301 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: course of the season and he asked Drew Brees about 302 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: how often does that become a problem for you and 303 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: breeze it said that there was like a third of 304 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: the passes he threw last season he never even saw 305 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: the target because his vision was being blocked. He was 306 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: going blindly the spots. Yeah, I just wonder that does 307 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: that same blind spot happen for a receiver if he 308 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: can't see when the ball is being released? But maybe not, no, 309 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: because you're not Usually you don't want to be watching 310 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: the ball coming out of the quarterbacks hands, because if 311 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: the ball is coming out of the quarterback's hands, that 312 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: means not only are you seeing come out, but the 313 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: defenders seem to come out as well. Now he's got 314 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: a shot together and now he's got What you wanna 315 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: do is you want to come out of your break 316 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: and you want to pick the ball up halfway as 317 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: it's coming. Ye. So, but the quarterbacks, I don't think 318 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: if Drew Brees was three inches taller, that wouldn't make 319 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: him be able to see over. I think most quarterbacks 320 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: have to throw the spots, and that's why timing between 321 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: receivers and quarterbacks are so important, because you throw the 322 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: ball too spots more often than not, you don't know 323 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: if he's gonna be open or not, because by the 324 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: time he's open, if you start throwing when when you're 325 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: receivers open, you're already too late. You have to throw 326 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: it anticipating the receiver getting open and creating that space, 327 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: and that's where the trust between a quarterback and a 328 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: receiver comes in. So I totally agree with Pete Prisco, 329 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: but I don't think that he's any different. Drew Brees 330 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: is any different because he's three four inches shorter than 331 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: any other quarterback. You mean, you put it, you know, 332 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: make a little higher it's not gonna make it much 333 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: much of a difference. Some of these guys are like six. 334 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: You know, those guys are big, those defensive line, and 335 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: they'll look big on TV. Man, I go down the 336 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: sideline sometime and the sounds and the size, I'm like, 337 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe I played this game. 338 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: We go out there, he go back to the phone lines. 339 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: Jason is online. Three. Hello your next um, Big Blue 340 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: kickoff Live. Hey guys, how are you doing? Hi? Hi? I'mni. 341 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: You just want to give you a shout out. And 342 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: I still remember the catch you made in the the 343 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: basically the Ice Bowl game against Green Bay Super Bowl year. 344 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: That was a great Yeah, I do I it was 345 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 1: a painful one. I should say that it looked like 346 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: it isn't a stupid question, but I'm just wondering. I 347 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: know you've probably played in extreme weather at times where 348 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: it's degrees or it's on the other end where it's 349 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: below zero. I'm just one and as a receiver, is 350 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: there different ways you have to prepare in different ways 351 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: you have to play the game. When you talk about 352 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: those extreme levels of weather, absolutely, in the in this 353 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: in the heat, it's not really much different because you know, 354 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: you just gotta drink a lot of water and you 355 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: have to be on top of it, like he can't ever, 356 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: Like I think at heat exhaustion one time down in Arizona, 357 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: and that's when I just stopped drinking, which was not 358 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: a good idea. But in the cold weather, I remember 359 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: that game in Green Bay that you're talking about. I 360 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: remember like my feet freezing, my hands freezing. I remember 361 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: one time Eli threw me a ball and I tried 362 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: to lift my hands up to the ball and my 363 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: hands just didn't move quick enough and the ball bounced 364 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: off my chest. So it's it's totally different, Like all 365 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: bets are off once it gets to the point where 366 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: you either can't feel your hands or your body stops 367 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: working like you would ordinarily expected to. So I think 368 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: the cold weather would be the hardest for me. I 369 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: don't care how hot it gets. I see. Yeah, alright, Jason, 370 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: just wondering about that because I know it. It's got 371 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: to be hard, playing especially in the in the colder weather. Uh. 372 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: God played college at Michigan, now, don't don't be given 373 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: him excuses about cold weather. Okay, yeah, but I can 374 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: understand if you never played in cold weather and trying 375 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: to play in cold weather for like, you know, it 376 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: would be a huge like coming from Florida and playing 377 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: it would be a huge difference. I mean, it's basically 378 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: a different game. Thank you, Jason, appreciate the call. All Right, 379 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: we go to line four. Clay from New York. You're 380 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: next on the show. Hello, Clay, what's that play? This 381 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: long time life long Giants fans in the sixties. Great. 382 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that. I just wanted to 383 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: say that the the draft is really bothering me. My 384 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: early people trash Eli h and talk about grafting offense. 385 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: We had the most points scored in the NFC East 386 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: last year, yes, the most. We scored more points in 387 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: any other team in division, but we gave up the 388 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: most point. Yes. So if you have the best I mean, 389 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: in fact, the year two thousand six team were eleven 390 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: and five. We scored sixty more points this year and 391 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: then we did then. So if you have the best 392 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: offense in your division and the worst defense in new division, 393 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: the problem is not the quarterback. The problem is not 394 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: the offense. Your problem is the defense. So I'm really 395 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: hoping that we take the six and the seven teams 396 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: pick uh, we can get like Ed Oliver and Devin 397 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: Bush and that completely reinvents us. UM. So I'm really 398 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: really hoping that that's what we do. Um And I'd 399 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: love to hear your thoughts about that. All right, Thank 400 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: you so much. Clay Dan Gelman, the GM has said 401 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: many times over he understands the desperate need to add 402 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: defense to this team. It's obvious, and I'm glad that 403 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: when you look at how many games this this team 404 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: had the ball, had the lead in the fourth quarter 405 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: with you know, with with two minutes left, and the 406 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: team couldn't get a stop. Dave said, by his estimation, 407 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: he truly believes that there were four games down the 408 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: stretch in the second half of the season where the 409 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: defense was one stop away from from being a seven 410 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: and one second half team after the after the bye week, 411 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: but they were four and four, not seven and one, 412 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: because they couldn't hold No. I mean, it's that's a 413 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: big deal. I mean, of course, the most popular player 414 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: on the team is always a quarterback. The most visible 415 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: player on the team is the quarterback, how well he's 416 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: doing and not. But if you look at the other 417 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: side of the ball, I mean that was it was. 418 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: It was really it was really hard to watch a 419 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: Giant team with bad defense. Yeah, because that's on characteristic exactly. 420 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not something we used to see it 421 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: around here very much at all. We go to line 422 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: one and Joe from Pennsylvania, you're next down the show. Hello, Hi, 423 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: Paul Amani. I just gotta say, oh, I think are 424 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: you all the time all in uh sideline catch, keeping 425 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: your feet and I think you made at least one 426 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: a game, at least I think you have more than anybody. 427 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: And I'm they were tremendous really, so uh remember that 428 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: one doubt. I think it was a playoff game in Dallas. 429 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: You caught the ball, shook the receiver off and we're 430 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: in sixty yards for a touchdown. That set that up 431 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: for us. But you were tremendous. So really, Now you're 432 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: talking about the Giants maybe needing the big receivers. Now 433 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: do you think we need uh? If you if you 434 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: have your choice besides the speed receiver, somebody with great speed, 435 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: like uh, the Eagles just picked up with Seawan Jackson. 436 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: Again someone has stretched the field. Or do you think 437 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: like there's uh there there's some big receivers in there, 438 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: like uh, I'm trying to think who we just had, 439 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: like Burrows or something like that. Maybe not with the 440 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: blazing species, but the side that's in this draft, and 441 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: that if you add your choice, which way would you 442 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: go on which one of them receivers? Honestly, there's so 443 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: many different ways to play receiver great, and there's so 444 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: many different ways you can play it great as this 445 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: big guy, a small guy, you know, quick guy, a 446 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: fast guy. You need to get a guy who can 447 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: play receiver period, and somebody who has the skills, and 448 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: I think those are more important. The skill set is 449 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: gonna make you more consistent as a receiver than the 450 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: athletic ability. But of course the athletic ability there is 451 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: a level that you have to have to be a 452 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: first round draft pick or to be a player in 453 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: the NFL, but to to to be consistent and to 454 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: have real good, solid technique, I think that's what I 455 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: would look for in a receiver as opposed to just 456 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: one great attribute, because that's gonna make you get you 457 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: open more consistently than just having just being fast or 458 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: just being quick, you know, But you gotta put it 459 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: all together, and that's what I would look for a 460 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: complete receiver that you that you can plug and play 461 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: and I have to worry about developing, um these different skills. Yeah, 462 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: I see in the draft this year. I think one 463 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: of them is at Metcalf. There's a few of them 464 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: that are really nice size, you know what I mean. 465 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: They don't have that d Metcalf is huge though, like 466 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: David Yeah, give me a second here, Joe. David Boston 467 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals was one of those guys who like 468 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: he was my he was my size. It's like he 469 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: was my size when he came out, and then all 470 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, like one off season, he balked off, 471 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: he bulked up, and I remember we were in the 472 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: locker room and I was in locker room playing them 473 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: the first game of the year, and our dbs were like, man, 474 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: did you see David Boston. It looked like he's been 475 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: walking on his arms all off season something. And that's 476 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: what he reminds me of. And you know, I'll be 477 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: honest with you, Joe. I appreciate the fact that the 478 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: guy is a tremendous specimen. I get that, but it 479 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: takes a lot more than just looking the park to 480 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: be a good receiver, and not even that. It's like, 481 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: how big is he now he's twenty Yeah, I don't 482 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: know what his agility level is gonna be my point exactly, 483 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Like you're he's like what in his twenty early monies. 484 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: Let's say that the most twenty one, Right, your metabolism 485 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: slows down after five years? How big is he gonna get? Like? 486 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be too thirty? I mean Plexico was 487 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: to thirty, but Plexi was six six, So but you're 488 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna six six four or six three, six three and 489 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: a half six three and a half to fifty, you 490 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: can't play receiver, Like, no, we's gonna have to be 491 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 1: a tight ended exactly. So are you gonna draft? Are 492 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: you gonna go out high for a receiver who is 493 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: gonna be a tight end pretty soon? Or are you 494 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: gonna I mean, he could be gronk, you know what 495 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that'd be good, but still he's he's ab 496 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: a small gronk or yeah, It's just I don't know, man, 497 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: It's I look at the weight and I'm just like, 498 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe some of these receivers are so big. 499 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I went to the draft the combines last year and 500 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: I'm looking at all these guys, I'm like, man, I 501 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: would be a small receiver now, and I thought I 502 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: had to make sure I stayed kept my weight down 503 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: just to keep my agility. And I thought, you know, 504 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: I thought that, well, how poll are you with money? 505 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: I'm like six three and change, maybe six more on 506 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: a day. And Beckham with what beam? Beckham was about six? 507 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: He was about six. Yeah, he's he's bigger than you think. 508 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: Joe appreciate the phone call. Thank you again, Thank you 509 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: so much. We're getting word from Matt who says metcalf 510 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: is listed at six coming out of the combine. I 511 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: thought he was a tad taller than six three, but okay, 512 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: so he's so he's to thirty. Basically, he was more 513 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: than me now and I didn't playing years, And I 514 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: get that at the combine the underwear Olympics, folks, and 515 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: you guys know how I feel about the combine. It's 516 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: not real football. They're not running around in pads and 517 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: helmets and all that stuff. At least put helmets on impact. 518 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: I think it makes sense. But but so so he 519 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: runs the forty and has a terrific time and blows 520 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: people away into forty. But that's not the way they 521 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: play the game of football. I remember running my forty 522 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: in the combine. What did you run? Four four something? 523 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna guess you probably around four five. 524 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: I ran. Well, it was different back then because nobody 525 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: ran because it was it was known to be a 526 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: slow track. And so they changed everything so that people 527 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: could get really fast times. Oh man, but anyway, Jimmy 528 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: with this stuff. Well even Pro days, though, Jimmy, those 529 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: Pro days. Don't believe everything you read about Pro days 530 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: because those things have favorite for the players. So anyway, 531 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: So so back to my point, I remember running thinking 532 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: what am I doing? Like, I never run like this 533 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: on the football field. I'm actually running through the thing 534 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: like I never run like this on the football field. 535 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck out there on this far. 536 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. Dylan David sends us a tweet of 537 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: Monty and and I want to read this to you 538 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: because it's a really good one. He says. I just 539 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: wanted to thank Amanti Tumor for the miraculous years with 540 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: the Giants. Was one of the first wide receivers I 541 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: ever watched to play growing up. So he's obviously a 542 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: very young fellow. But he does want to thank you, okay, 543 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: which is cool. Yeah, he's he's not that young. I mean, 544 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: I didn't play that long ago. I gotta I gotta 545 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: help myself here, because the age gap is gonna it's 546 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: gonna put me in a grave. It's so deep between 547 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: you and me. My goodness, I saw Frank talking to 548 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: play Amandi. Yeah, you probably don't even know him from 549 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: that's incredible. Do you know I remember him when he 550 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: was was he with the Vikings? Yes? I remember before 551 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: the Giants and then after the Giants. I think I 552 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: remember the after the Giants. Of course you do, because 553 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: before the Giants would be even before my time. Yes, yes, 554 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: I remember him running around and he had I didn't 555 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: know what the helmet was. I thought, I didn't know 556 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: what the viking. I didn't know that it was supposed 557 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: to be a horn, and I was like, what is that? 558 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: Is it like a I couldn't figure out what it was. 559 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: I was a little kid, and I'm like, wow, I 560 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: don't I really don't know what that is. And he 561 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: running around and running around and running around, and then 562 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: you make the you know, interesting point about the mobile 563 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: quarterback and the running around quarterback. We'll get to the 564 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: calls again at two four, five, one three, and remember 565 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: the big Blue Kickoff Live is presented by Corpse Light. 566 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: Download the course Light rewards app to win Amazing Giants prizes. 567 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about the roaming quarterback now, because 568 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: that seems to be kind of one of the flavors 569 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: of the month. People are really excited about quarterbacks who 570 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: run around and move and I call it video game football. Okay, 571 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: As a receiver, I understand that those guys can buy time, 572 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: which is really good. Receivers like to be able to 573 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: have a little bit more time in their routes. I 574 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: get that part of it, But is there also a 575 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: downside to a roving quarterback? Would you kind of explain 576 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: that to the fans. Well, everything is timing right, So 577 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: everything is based on the five the seven step drop, 578 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: So you run your routes. Steps you take are directly 579 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: correlated to how many steps the the quarterbacks drop is. 580 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: So you're gonna come out of your break expecting a 581 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: ball at certain times and you've got a quarterback running around, 582 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: and it messes up the whole offense and it makes 583 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: it very hard to be consistent if you're doing an 584 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: offense that's based on timing. So I remember watching Michael 585 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: Vick on film playing against teams that we didn't be 586 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: playing against, and I was sitting there watching receivers getting 587 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: wide open, and then Mike Vick would just take off. 588 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: I was like, Man, I would be so frustrated playing 589 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: with Mike Vick because you're trying to be consistent, and 590 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: the way you be consistent is do anything over and 591 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: over again the exact same way. And if you run 592 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: in a speed out, which is a six step out, 593 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: and you expect the ball at a certain time in 594 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: a certain part of you know, in a certain area 595 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: where you can pick it up with your eyes and 596 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: catch it. If you don't know where the ball is coming, 597 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: you can't be consistent running that speed out. It's just 598 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: an example. So it would be tough playing because if 599 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: you I was, I liked the precision of it, you know. 600 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: I liked, you know, working on the techniques and playing 601 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: with little things and you know, footwork and all that stuff. 602 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed that about football. And if you're playing 603 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: with a quarterback that's gonna be running around, I just 604 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can be consistent that way 605 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: two oh one nine nine four five one three line four. 606 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: We have Charlie in Portland, Maine. Hello, Charlie Hey, gentlemen, Hey, Paul, Hey, 607 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: A money's up. Charlie Hey, I got a question, fire mine. 608 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: You're pretty you're pretty much a straight shooter. If you 609 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: were the GM of the Giants, would you have traded 610 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham? Hey? Who? I would have had a tough 611 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: time doing doing it personally, UM, I just feel that 612 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,959 Speaker 1: I don't know all the stuff that goes on behind 613 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: the scenes here. I just you know, I like being 614 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: more of a fan than in it, because being in 615 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: it gives you a totally different like like Paul being 616 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: in where Paul's at, or he's in the locker room 617 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: and he's talking to all different people and the coaches 618 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: and all stuff. There's a different perspective on what he is. 619 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: I have the the ability to just watch him play 620 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: every weekend and you know, maybe listen to a press 621 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: conference here. There don't really take much that but of that. 622 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: But I just watched him on the field, and what 623 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: he provided on the field when he was playing would 624 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: be very hard for me to to to trade. But 625 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know all the behind the things. 626 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, but the only thing as I know, 627 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: I talked to the players, and the players seem to 628 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: really like him. Now right now, that doesn't mean that 629 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: the people that the coaching staff really you know, is 630 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, is on board with him. I'm not saying 631 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: he is or it isn't. I'm just saying I don't know. 632 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: So as a fan, I could see, because I'm a 633 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: fan watching, it would be very hard to trade a 634 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: player of that caliber, Charlie. The way I try to 635 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: explain it to people is that football decisions of that nature, 636 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: major decisions are never made from one direction. You have 637 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: to look at all the different angles to the prism 638 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: because there are many, and most of which the public 639 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: doesn't ever see. And so that's why it's a it's 640 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: a difficult question to answer if you're asking, as a 641 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: football fan, I would never want to trade a talent 642 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: of that nature who makes those kinds of plays. As 643 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: a fan, I would never want to do that. But 644 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: then when you consider all of the other angles to 645 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: the prism, and you understand all of those angles, you 646 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: also need to look at the logic and say Okay, 647 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: this makes sense for this reason, and that's what makes 648 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: it hard because you know, fans don't have the ability 649 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 1: to see those angles of the prism. And fans are 650 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: very reactive, right, Like they just see what they see 651 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: and then that's it. But if you're in management, you 652 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: have to kind of for a direction. It can't be 653 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: a fan. If you're an imaginement or a coach or GM, 654 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: you can't be a fan. Absolutely, absolutely right. I mean 655 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: that's a given, but I'm saying I totally agree with you, Paul. 656 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: But you also have to kind of shape the direction 657 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: of what the team in the team where you want 658 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: the team to go. And so when you're trying to 659 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: shape a direction, if somebody doesn't fit, no matter how um, 660 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: no matter how much you know excitement they bring, maybe 661 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: you don't want to. You just want a team that's 662 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna win, and winning winning is exciting in itself, but 663 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: maybe the way in which you go about winning maybe 664 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: not always will be exciting. So I think that you know, 665 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: there was some decision, There was a decision made, and 666 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: everybody I talked to, thanks for the culture, and everybody 667 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: I talked to in UM, you know, in the in 668 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: the in the front office. When I talk to the 669 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: different people around here, they're all on board, and they're 670 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: all kind of like, yeah, you know, he's a great player, 671 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: who liked him a lot. But you know, there there's 672 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: the reasons for the direction that they went in, and 673 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: the only way we'll know if it's right or wrong 674 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: is looking at the record this year, next year, and 675 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: the in the years moving forward. That's the only way 676 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: we'll know if it was a right or wrong decision. Yeah, 677 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: time is the only legislator of correct or incorrect, it 678 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: really is. Uh. We go to line one, Amani, and 679 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: this may be the most intelligent caller that we have 680 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: on the show on a regular basis. Coach Marvin from Delaware, Hello, coach, 681 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: you're on with a Monti tumor Paul Great, what's up, coach? 682 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: Thank you for all the times that you bought joy 683 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: to the fans and the way you carry yourself on 684 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: and off. Thank you. Um. I was just going to 685 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: go but a little bit of what Charlie was talking about, 686 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: and I talked about this about a week ago to Jeff, 687 00:35:51,840 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: and Uh, Jeff was on the show a different opinions 688 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: of it. I start from a fans point of view, 689 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: and I saw from a coaches point of view and 690 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 1: from the fan the point of view. I found it 691 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: hard to let a receiver of that nature go because 692 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: he was a transcendent player. Um. I felt he was 693 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: must see TV. He was box office and everybody wanted 694 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: to see him play and um, and he performed that way. UM. 695 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: So that's why it was hard to see them let 696 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: a guy like that go. And I felt like should 697 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: have gotten more but him. I'm not saying you get 698 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: to teach him think, but I know that third round 699 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: pick was the second of the third round pick that 700 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland had. I think they had the idiot pick. Um. 701 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: At least we could have gotten that, I felt as 702 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: a fan. Um as a coach, I looked at it 703 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: in a totally different manner, and I'm kind of feeling them. 704 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: That feels a little better about it. I understand what 705 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to do, because I'm sure you've heard this 706 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: or money is uh. I always used to tell my team, um, 707 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: there's three people that can destroy a team and destroy 708 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,319 Speaker 1: a locker room, and if those three people come into 709 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: this locker room, we're gonna have a big problem. And 710 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't really built I wouldn't deal with that type 711 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: of those types of three people and those three people 712 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: with me, myself and I and when those three guys 713 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: showed up, that was going to be a problem. And 714 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: in some cases, I think Odell was running along that line. 715 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if he crossed it because he was 716 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,439 Speaker 1: running across that line. And the incident in the Carolina um. 717 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: Everybody could gets the incident with the rams um. So 718 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: we have a lot of incidents on the field that 719 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,439 Speaker 1: disrupted to the team. And yeah, you always have those 720 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,479 Speaker 1: blow ups in the sidelines. But if you have too 721 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: many of those, big don't they do become this love 722 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: this so um. So I do understand that. Say so 723 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll do something with these. Thank you the time. Alright, Coach, 724 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: I always got a coach. I always think it's a 725 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: you know, he was a he's a young player. You know, 726 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: he's a guy that could still be molded. I feel 727 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: in a way, you know, so I feel like it's 728 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: not just um a failure on Odell Beckham's part. It 729 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: could be a failure on just the entire system of 730 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: maturing a player by the team. I think one of 731 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 1: the other factors as we look at that prison though 732 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: also injury history. I hate to say this because we're 733 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: talking to a guy here who had two A C. 734 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: O injuries Okay, significant deals that could have ended his 735 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: career at any time. And look what you did in 736 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,959 Speaker 1: spite of that. O'Dell certainly came back from ankle surgery. 737 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: But then again, he gets this quad thing at the 738 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: end of the year and he's forced to miss the 739 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: final month of the season. I think he's played one 740 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: full sixteen game schedule in his first four years in 741 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: the league. Um, I'm sorry, but durability is part of 742 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: the equation. Yeah, I can't make the club from the tub. 743 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: That's what they say. That's what they say. Let's see 744 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: if we can get another call in at two O 745 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 1: four five, one three. Also, I want to check Twitter 746 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: see if we get a couple of more. I don't 747 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: know if you're going to see this on Twitter. I 748 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: said it was old Timer's Day on Big Blue Kick 749 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: Off Live. See, I'm trying to help my age, kind 750 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: of trying to make us both the old time. I'm 751 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: trying to help myself because I am truly the sage 752 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 1: of the broadcast department, and I'm trying to help myself 753 00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: and make myself feel a little younger by kind of 754 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: making us be closer. It's not working. That's gonna be tough. 755 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: I remember my first day here I saw you. I'm like, 756 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: it was this madman who charts all the plays. I 757 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: do do miss tackles and I do all that stuff. Uh, 758 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: you know what you're you're a basket case. When I 759 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: watched this last couple of years, since this team hasn't 760 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: been as it's been funny. I mean it's not funny, 761 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: but it has been funny because it's like there's a 762 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: lot more to analyze. It's like as mad as I get. 763 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: When I watched the games from the press box. If 764 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: I just look over to you, I'm just like, well, 765 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: at least I'm not mad as, I'm not as mass 766 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: Paul Bill Norris does have a question. He does say 767 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: he wants to know if you've looked at the receivers 768 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: in the draft. I know you saw metcalf Um. He says, 769 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: what do you think would be the best fit about 770 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: filling the void? I want I want to ask you 771 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: this question. I want to build off of that for 772 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: a second. We've talked about the size of the Giants, receivers, 773 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: and they don't have any skyscrapers, as I like to 774 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: call them. Skyscrapers to me, are a minimum of six 775 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 1: to like Nix was six too, but he had length, 776 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 1: very long arms. They don't have any of all those 777 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. Do you think it is 778 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: imperative that they do get a skyscraper amongst that receiving 779 00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: corps or is it okay if they just get another 780 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: talented receiver who could easily be five eleven or six 781 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: ft and not add any height to that room. I 782 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: think when you add height, it's it's I think there's 783 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 1: more onus on a on a taller receiver because it's 784 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: harder to play receiver when you're taller, because you know 785 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: your technique has to be that much better. Were taller, Yeah, 786 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: I mean, but it was it was. It's harder to 787 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: play a receiver as a as a taller player because 788 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 1: not only do you have to have to hide the speed, 789 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: but you have to have the quickness. And quickness and 790 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 1: and and height doesn't usually always go together. And that's 791 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: why they're rare. That's why everybody looks at um. You know, 792 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: Julio Jones, who's tall and he can. You know, the 793 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: Randy Mossters, Tall Fitzgerald, these guys are all tall, but 794 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: they're just not tall. They're actually very you know, quick 795 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: in and out of breaks, and they're fast. All that 796 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: together is what you need and that's why they're hard 797 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: to find. You can find a lot of short, quick guys. 798 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: You can't find a lot of tall, quick guys. And 799 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: that's what made plex Coot so so special as well 800 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,399 Speaker 1: as he was six six, but he can move like 801 00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: somebody much smaller with his quickness. Do you think, oh 802 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: that from a variety perspective, would it be a benefit 803 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: to Eli if he was able to get a tall 804 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: guy in that room, so it would be another one 805 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: of his options. Well, I think Eli, early on in 806 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: his career he had tall receivers be like that because 807 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: of his accuracy issues early on. And I think that 808 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: it's just it's just easier for quarterbacks to throw the 809 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: ball to bigger players because you know, the strike zone 810 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: is bigger, so to speak, right, Like, you can throw 811 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 1: a ball to a bigger guy who just can get 812 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: to it just because he's longer, he's wider. He can 813 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, he can, he can make more plays on 814 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: the ball. The strike zone is a lot bigger than 815 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: it is for a smaller receiver. A. J. Marshall sends 816 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: us a tweet. He says, say Kwan Barkley is going 817 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: into his second season in the NFL. He should be 818 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: a captain for the Giants. He's emerged as a leader 819 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: by example and his vocal the next last season. How 820 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: does he know he's been in locker room? He knows 821 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: all the players probably watched a lot of stuff on 822 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 1: Giants dot com and watched our postgame shows on MSG. 823 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: I understand, but those are all very those aren't like, 824 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: that's not that's not how he is naturally. You know, 825 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 1: he you know, when you you get when you getting 826 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: ready to get interviewed, you you're kind of like, you know, 827 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: you get you kind of you know, you button up, 828 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: you kind of all right, you know, and then you 829 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,919 Speaker 1: you you are very conscious of what you say. Let 830 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: me create a question from his comment that would be 831 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: how hard or how easy is it for a second 832 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: year player to be voted team captain in a locker 833 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: room of football guys. I don't think it's that hard 834 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: to be voted as the team captain, because you do 835 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: have to be voted. I'm usually that's the way he does. 836 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: Coach usually does a vote. I don't know. I don't 837 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: think that's uh. I think the coaches usually kind of 838 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,800 Speaker 1: just decide for themselves. I think they give you paper 839 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: and make you think they voted, But I think they 840 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: just so. You mean, like a fix, the fix might 841 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 1: be in, you know, you never know. I mean, whoever 842 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: counts the votes? Was it hacked by Russia? I mean, 843 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: this is a sports show, folks. We're talking giants foot all. Nope, nope, 844 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: politics here. It was a joke. Um simba x v I. 845 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: I says, looking at the current situation, if the Cardinals 846 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 1: are shopping Josh Rosen, the Giants should draft an edge 847 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: Russia at six, an offensive tackle at seventeen, and trade 848 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 1: the seven pick that would be the giants second round 849 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: selection for Rosen. He says, that would be the best scenario. 850 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: What do you think they didn't pick Rosen for a 851 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: reason last year when they had the opportunity to do it. 852 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Giants are looking at the 853 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: holes in their team, which are massive, especially on the 854 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:46,400 Speaker 1: defensive side, and I think that they are really trying. 855 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: From what I gather, I think the defensive side should 856 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: be focused on more. Looking at all the points that 857 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: were scored last year, looking at how many games that 858 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,359 Speaker 1: they could have won last year. If the defense would 859 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: have made one stop, they would it would have changed 860 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 1: the entire you know, four games. The Gettleman said, well, 861 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: if he felt they could have been seven and one 862 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: instead of four and four over the second half of 863 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: the season, so that, I mean that might have been close. 864 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 1: Have been in the house. You know, I have been 865 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot better than what they did finish with. I 866 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: tell you that. You know that that's um, that's that's 867 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: it was such a disappointing year. The last two years 868 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: have been so disappointing, especially you know, being able to 869 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,720 Speaker 1: know calling the games and um doing the postgame show. 870 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's it's been. It's been. It's been 871 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: hard to watch a team with so much talent and 872 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: so many fans that are dying for them to be 873 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: good and being so close with all the pieces and 874 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: just falling on your face and it just at the 875 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: end of the day, you're just talking about, you know, 876 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: bad things and what they need to do better. I 877 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: loved going on those shows and saying, you know, what 878 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,879 Speaker 1: they did eight today, they did this, this and this, 879 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: and I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next week. 880 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: It's been two years. I haven't been able to say 881 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: any of those. I will say this, when you have 882 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,960 Speaker 1: gone through some really rough seasons, well, when those good 883 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: ones come along, you really appreciate big time. Now. I 884 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: remember and when they went to the playoffs and what's sixteen? 885 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: Is it sixteen? Yeah? It was mcadoo's first year. That, yeah, sixteen, 886 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: it was. It was so much fun. I mean, it 887 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: was so much fun calling those games. It was so 888 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: much fun, Like, you know, watching the team that you know, 889 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, all the people are in the in the office, 890 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: you know all the you know, I know, all the 891 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: everybody around here, and it's just fun to see them excited. 892 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: And they haven't been excited over the last year. I 893 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: think what people don't sometimes understand outside the building is 894 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,440 Speaker 1: that the people in the building are truly miserable when 895 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 1: the team it. Trust me, Folks, when you go to 896 00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: your office or your job and you think that people 897 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 1: are cranky, I'm not in a good mood because they're 898 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: having a bad day, or maybe something with the business 899 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 1: wasn't going well. When a football team loses, everybody on 900 00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,959 Speaker 1: the property is feeling miserable about it and it's not fun. 901 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm in the press box. He watched you watch Mr 902 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,319 Speaker 1: Merrow walking by. You're just kind of like he takes 903 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: it harder than any Oh my god, he's on the team. 904 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: He should I understand. And you know, if anybody wants 905 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,240 Speaker 1: to what we know, it's going to be him. There's 906 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: no question. And you know he's a good guy. I 907 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, just when things when things go better. All right, 908 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: we go back to the Phone's Carl from Connecticut. You're 909 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: online one on Big Blue kick Off Live. Hello, Hello, 910 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: how you guys, Amni. It's a fleisure to talk to you. 911 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 1: I've been a fan since Dan Perkins. Just to say, 912 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: it tells you where my age group is. And I 913 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,080 Speaker 1: just loved watching you play through the years that you 914 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 1: played for the Giants, and he always made me smile 915 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,919 Speaker 1: on Sunday, So I really appreciate that always. That's good. 916 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: I have a couple of points I'd like to make. 917 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess you met Ray Perkins though, right, you 918 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 1: met Ray Perkins when he was coaching here with the Giants, 919 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: or maybe you said Perkins's sorry, rate Perkins, that's what 920 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:06,720 Speaker 1: I thought. Who got the which was really nice? Go ahead? Yeah. Um, 921 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: that's when I became a fan, um because I used 922 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 1: to date a girl from Texas and she was a 923 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,760 Speaker 1: Dallas fan and I go to her house on Sundays 924 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: to watch the football games with their mom, and I 925 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: always looked with the giant speed Dallas. So that's how 926 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 1: I got into the Giants. It goes back, um a 927 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: couple of points. The first point is I'm sorry to 928 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,319 Speaker 1: see O'Dell go. But on the other side of the coin, 929 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,760 Speaker 1: we need to put a strong team, not only around Delight, 930 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 1: but around the next guy. And if you don't spend 931 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 1: the money now and you give it up for something else, 932 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do next year when you got 933 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: the new guy? Elis near the end. We all know that. 934 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 1: But I'm one of those guys ask a lot of 935 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: faith in need life for at least one more year. Um. 936 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: And then I have family who lives in Cleveland, so 937 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited for Cleveland. I think it'd be 938 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 1: great if Cleveland. After he rose to the challenge and 939 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: was to take it to the patch and knocked them 940 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: out one season. If you're if you're waiting for the 941 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 1: Pats to get knocked off, it's going to be a 942 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 1: wil I've been waiting. I've been waiting for a long time. 943 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: I think about ten years. I've been reading there there 944 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: there are a perennial playoff team. And as long as 945 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: the a f C East is so weak, no no 946 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: no no no no no no. As long as they 947 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 1: have Tom Brady, I don't care what happened Belichick, but 948 00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: remember Belichick is about to get fired before Brady got there. Yeah, anyway, 949 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: that's that's either here Brady. But I'm just saying he's 950 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm just hopeful. I'm just hopeful that Cleveland does well. 951 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to see odellgo. But I agree with 952 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,280 Speaker 1: you in the locker room and intangibles so that he brings, 953 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 1: And you guys said, you know, he only played one 954 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,959 Speaker 1: sixteen game season in the four years he's here, and 955 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 1: you know that affects all of us watching. We want 956 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,359 Speaker 1: him to play, We want him to play, and when 957 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't, it's sad for the team and the support 958 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 1: team has to do better and they haven't had to 959 00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: support around him to do that. So those are my points. 960 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 1: So thank you for taking mcconinell listen to the office. 961 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: I have a great day, Carl, thank you so much. 962 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: We're getting close to the ang sole. Let's quickly get 963 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,319 Speaker 1: the line for Ryan from New Jersey. You were on 964 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: the show. Hello, all right, how are you guys? MONTI tumor. 965 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,640 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that ring. Appreciate it. Thank 966 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: you my favorite player. Hey, quick question him your ring. 967 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 1: I just want to why I didn't get for a reason. 968 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 1: We're fanatics and so it's all um, I just want 969 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on this. So I know, I 970 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,239 Speaker 1: remember a few years ago, I think it was maybe 971 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 1: mcadoo's last year. They had Eric Flowers and Bobby Hart 972 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 1: for the starting tackles, and I remember going into the 973 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: off season and all the talk was all, you know, 974 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: they might get better, they might get in, you know, 975 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: they got some more playing time, and then it was 976 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: really optimistic on the players. And I just find it 977 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 1: kind of interesting now that Dave Gentelman is the general 978 00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,719 Speaker 1: manager and nobody's saying, oh, you know, maybe chat we 979 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,759 Speaker 1: will get better. Though, I thought either by tackle, he's 980 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: a swing guy. Like the x actation for the offensive 981 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: line is a lot higher. I was one of if 982 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: you guys have that same feeling, if you if you 983 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 1: agree with that, well, I mean Ryan Dave Gettleman is 984 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 1: a hog Molly collector. That's what he's done his whole career. 985 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: He loves big, strong, powerful lineman. So if he said 986 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:24,919 Speaker 1: anything less than that, it would be disingenuine. Right, yeah, 987 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you see what you get with Getman? 988 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: You're not trust me? Not hold it onto a player open, 989 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna get that, and wan, I'll take it off 990 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: the air. Just just a fun one, real quick. Who 991 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: he takes the fastest player on the team. If you 992 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 1: have to, you have to grace them all right now, 993 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: and I'll take it off the air. Okay, thank you. 994 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 1: I think it's Coleman. Just if if you were to 995 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 1: straight sprint, I'd be very surprised if he didn't win. Yeah, 996 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 1: but football is not a straight sprint. No, it's not 997 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: with pads on. What do you think? Oh? I think 998 00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 1: it's irrelevant. Okay, I just want the best player. I'll 999 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 1: buy that. I want to win. I want to that. 1000 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, remember what they said, that's like 1001 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: Emmon Smith was too slow coming out of college. You know, 1002 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is quarterback and throw the ball 1003 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: so far? I'm like, great, can you throw it accurate? 1004 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,279 Speaker 1: Can you play the game? Can he make a read? 1005 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:16,799 Speaker 1: Can you can? You know? I mean, like, I just 1006 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,360 Speaker 1: it's not the Olympics, it's not um, it's not track 1007 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: and field. Nope, it is football. And there are attributes 1008 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,760 Speaker 1: that you that favor people. But attributes don't win your games. 1009 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:37,120 Speaker 1: Players teams technique that wins you games. We go to 1010 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: line three. Will you are in Texas? Hello? You're next? 1011 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:48,240 Speaker 1: Hey fall money. I had a poster all through school. 1012 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: Are you with that Sag catch against Sallas? One of 1013 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: my favorite one of my favorite players of all time? 1014 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,200 Speaker 1: You well, hold on, hold on? You have a poster 1015 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: of that? Did you make it yourself? Or was there 1016 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: one created? Was there one creative? Now? It was it was, 1017 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 1: it was created. It was just a picture that I thought, Yeah, 1018 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was. It was great. I 1019 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: think I don't think so. I actually don't think I'm 1020 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,799 Speaker 1: gonna get too much of an argument from you guys 1021 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,840 Speaker 1: with this. But I actually am in favor of holding 1022 00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: on the eli. I don't I don't see a lot 1023 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: of regression whenever things around him are more favorable in 1024 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,760 Speaker 1: terms of uh you know, um personnel on the field, 1025 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: in terms of fullback play action, spreading the ball around, 1026 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,440 Speaker 1: not forcing get the one player. I think that the 1027 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: offensive scheme is more uh favorable around him now in 1028 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,080 Speaker 1: terms of what we have with matculdoo as well too. 1029 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm actually in favor of holding on the eli uh 1030 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 1: and then trading back in this traff to collect more picks. 1031 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:48,200 Speaker 1: I I I'm thinking that some way around uh Denver, Cincinnati, 1032 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,320 Speaker 1: Miami one of his picks. I think we could probably 1033 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: get a two this year and a two next year 1034 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: as well too. And I'm just curious to get your 1035 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: opinion on that within the players. Uh Again, I'm not 1036 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm not in turn, uh you know, in favor necessarily 1037 00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: reaching for one specific person or position with those four picks. 1038 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,839 Speaker 1: I think that I'm curious if you guys would sign 1039 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: up for this for this option if it was draft day. 1040 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: Let's say with number six we get um, well, I'm 1041 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: sorry with with the trade that we would get with 1042 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,760 Speaker 1: one of those three teams, where our choice between someone 1043 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 1: like Sweat and Burns. With the seventeen pick, we get 1044 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: one of the maybe the top three corners are our 1045 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: first pick in the second round, uh Dalton Reisner, and 1046 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: then maybe the trade pick for the second round to 1047 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,480 Speaker 1: get a player like Chase Winovich. I think those four 1048 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: players would be much more valuable than uh th our 1049 00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: quarterback at number six moving forward. And I'll take that 1050 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,160 Speaker 1: answer off fair. Oh, thank you so much. It is 1051 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 1: hard to disagree with the statement that says we're gonna 1052 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 1: pick four legitimate pro prospects and and they're going to 1053 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,320 Speaker 1: be better than just taking one guy at six. I 1054 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,360 Speaker 1: don't see how anybody could argue the mass. Yeah, especially 1055 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: if you're if you're gonna take you know, let's say 1056 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,799 Speaker 1: they're gonna take Hasky and these quarterbacks. If you want 1057 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: your team to be if you want the Giants to 1058 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:09,279 Speaker 1: be good next year, having your best pick sit on 1059 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 1: the bench is not the best uh you know, prospect 1060 00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: for next year's team. Yeah. So I think that makes 1061 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense, 1062 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: you know. The one thing that that that I keep 1063 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 1: telling people, Amani and look, you've been around the game 1064 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,839 Speaker 1: a long time, and certainly you and I have both 1065 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 1: seen quarterbacks who were at the end, Marino at the end, Peyton, Manning, 1066 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 1: at the end then, um, um, not just damn Johnny 1067 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,439 Speaker 1: United scores before your time, I get but I saw 1068 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: him at the end, Um, Troy Aikman at the end. 1069 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 1: You know what you see are guys who can no 1070 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 1: longer make all the throws. All of a sudden, there 1071 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 1: were routes they can't hit anymore because their arms shot. 1072 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,720 Speaker 1: They just don't have the bullets anymore to make that throw. 1073 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 1: And that's the thing that Dave Gettlman has said time 1074 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: and time again about Eli Manning. He can still make 1075 00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: all the throws as long as he can every one 1076 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: of the of the branches on the route trade. And 1077 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: we know he's smart. Obviously, there's no reason to suggest 1078 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: that he's done. Yeah, but one of those two also, 1079 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 1: you know Peyton Manning he had he started out the 1080 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 1: season very good. Right, It's just when is that declined 1081 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: going to happen? And you look, we really don't know 1082 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: the answer. We don't know, nobody does. We don't, but 1083 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: but for statistics tell you that if you get thirty five, 1084 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty eight, that's usually around that time. Um. 1085 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: But you know what's weird about that outthrow? The money 1086 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,840 Speaker 1: that in December when the Giants were averaging over twenty 1087 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 1: seven points a game, and without Beckham this past December, 1088 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,240 Speaker 1: Elivers stolen the ball as well as he was earlier 1089 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,960 Speaker 1: in the year. I didn't see any decline. No, but yeah, 1090 00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,200 Speaker 1: this year he was fine. I think he was fine 1091 00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: this year. But is it gonna be Is he gonna 1092 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: make it through an entire season, not get hurt, not 1093 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: have something, you know, mess with his throwing motion and 1094 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean, there's remember Peyton Manning. His 1095 00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,319 Speaker 1: demise was was the thigh injury. And then after the 1096 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: thigh injury, he couldn't overcome that and become the patent 1097 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: man that he was. But in the beginning of that year, 1098 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: he was right on. He was on pace for you know, 1099 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 1: playing very well. He got the thigh injury, and then 1100 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,800 Speaker 1: after that Brock came in, and then he came back 1101 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. And but you know, you know, 1102 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,400 Speaker 1: so many people who come at Eli Manning and and 1103 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 1: criticize him. It boggles my mind. And I want you, 1104 00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 1: as a receiver to address this particular part of this 1105 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: conversation because I tell people all the time, listen, as 1106 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,200 Speaker 1: gentleman says, last time I checked the quarterback can't throw 1107 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 1: the ball when he's on his back. Eli we sacked 1108 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 1: over forty times this past season. If you don't have 1109 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: an offensive line that can give you the capability of 1110 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: doing all of the things offensively that you need to 1111 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: do to challenge your opponent, you're not going to win. 1112 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter who your quarterback is. That offensive 1113 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: line has to be functional for the run and for 1114 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: the past and it doesn't matter what position you're playing 1115 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: on the field. It starts with the offensive line. Absolutely, 1116 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,920 Speaker 1: it starts the offensive line, but you'd also have players. 1117 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: And then there's another scenario where when Peyton Manning was 1118 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: with the Colts, they were a playoff team. Peyton Manning 1119 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: leaves the Colts, they put in Painter, and then all 1120 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, because he's not getting the ball out 1121 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: because he's not making the right protection calls. But because 1122 00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: whatever Painter becomes the most sacked quarterback, that offensive line 1123 00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: gets gutted. I mean, I think some offensive line issues 1124 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: can be attributed to quarterback not getting the ball off 1125 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: on time, receivers not getting open off of time. I 1126 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,040 Speaker 1: don't think it's I think it's a system. It's a 1127 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's not the root cause of sacks. 1128 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 1: All that is always the offensive lines. Sometimes the quarterback 1129 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:08,160 Speaker 1: gets himself sacked by running outside of the potect Sometimes 1130 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: the quarter the receivers, you know, the coverage sack. The 1131 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: receivers aren't open, the quarterbacks holding the ball waiting for 1132 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: somebody to get open, nobody and it's not nobody's getting 1133 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 1: open or somebody runs the wrong route. There's a lot 1134 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: of reasons for sacks. It's easy to say it's the 1135 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: offensive line, but I think it's an offense in general. 1136 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: And I think there could be issues with um, you know, 1137 00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: with other things around consistency or route running, um, you know, 1138 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 1: getting out of third and long, being able to run 1139 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. All these things are contributing factors. 1140 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 1: And unless that gets cleaned up, you know, you could 1141 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 1: just like you said, you could put anybody back there 1142 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna get You're not gonna The whole 1143 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 1: offense has to work well together. You can, of course 1144 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: look at different points, but the offense has to has 1145 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: to be you know, functional for a quote, and the 1146 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 1: quarterback is involved in that. So there's a I don't 1147 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 1: think it's as simple as saying the offensive linement is bad. Alright, 1148 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 1: final question before we go, because we only have a 1149 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 1: minute to go. Phenomenal rookie season as Rookie of the Year. 1150 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 1: If he's around for a decade like Tiki Barber was, 1151 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:16,000 Speaker 1: he'll probably take all of his records. I think, show 1152 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,640 Speaker 1: me what you expect to see from Barkley in his 1153 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: second season that we did not see last year. I 1154 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 1: think he's gonna get the ball more. I mean, because 1155 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,840 Speaker 1: you remember they throttled what he did for a lot 1156 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 1: of this for the beginning part of last year. So 1157 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: now it's just gonna be I think he should be 1158 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 1: better because I think he's gonna have more opportunities. Of course, 1159 01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 1: last year, towards the end of the year, they gave 1160 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: him a lot of opportunities, but there was a couple 1161 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: of games where they took him out in the second half. 1162 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, I think I think there's a lot of 1163 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: running backs that come out, not to say quans like 1164 01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: anybody else, but there's a lot of running backs that 1165 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 1: come out and have a good rookie year. You know, 1166 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of quarterbacks that come out and have 1167 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: a good rookie year and then three years like r 1168 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: G three, you know and or or or you know, Um, 1169 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: I think John A. Carter came out and had a 1170 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,800 Speaker 1: good year if I'm not mistaken. Um, there's it happens, 1171 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, but the second year and to repeat over 1172 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,360 Speaker 1: and over and over again. That's what makes the NFL hard. 1173 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 1: You know. There's a lot of guys that can come 1174 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,040 Speaker 1: out and have a thousand yards season, but over and 1175 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 1: over and over. So I don't think I see Kwan 1176 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: is a phenomenal athlete, phenomenal talent, but you have to 1177 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,920 Speaker 1: put it down for a couple of years and and 1178 01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,880 Speaker 1: he hasn't done that yet, and so there's still some 1179 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: question about whether he, you know, has the durability. I 1180 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,200 Speaker 1: mean any all kinds of issues can pop up. But 1181 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,920 Speaker 1: from what he has put down, it's been great. That's 1182 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: what makes Hall of Famous, Hall of Famers. They do 1183 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 1: it for a decade.
