1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,399
Speaker 1: Jeff Wars Did you don't Jack Jack Warris? Did you

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: know Jackuarris Drive Time? Bryan sex Sext, John O's agent,

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Actually su Jaguarris Drive Time starts right now. I'm born

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: right across the river. I mean, so, I mean it's

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: non emotional for me, not the pain of me. You know,

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: everyone wants tickets, they want sideline passes, and you know,

7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: and now I don't. I don't see anyone when I

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: go up there, most of the Giants. It never gets old.

9
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: The blunt, candid, completely transparent head coach Doug Morone on Monday,

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: talking about the return of the Jaguars to New York City,

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: he was asked specifically about Tom Coughlin going back to

12
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: the Giants, which we know as a big storyline this week,

13
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: and that was his answer. Loved it. Good morning, Welcome

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: to Jack's Drive Time. On a Tuesday, Brian Sexton along

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: with Shlynn Sullivan, We've got a guest from New York

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: to talk about the Giants. We've got lots on our

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: plate this morning, and we're glad you were with us.

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: How are you this morning? I'm good. I love that thought.

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Good stuff. He just looked and I've said this before.

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: We didn't know exactly what we were getting with Doug

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Morrow became the head coach. You know, we're we getting

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: the guy who was really gruff of his as an

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: offensive line coach around here for two years. Were were

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: getting the guy who's pretty gruff, kind of parceliang In

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo Bill's era. Uh. He told us during

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: one of our television production meetings during the preseason that

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: he had changed from Syracuse to the Bills and from

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: the Bills to the Jaguars. He's fantastic him. I've said

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: this before too. I repeat myself a lot. When when

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: I was in college and I worked at Casey t

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: V five in Kansas City on Sunday nights, I used

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: to stay late to watch the satellite feed. And if

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: John were here right now, he tell you the satellites

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the thing that, yeah that, and it sends data back

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: and forth now until done on the internet. But I

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: used to wait for the late satellite feed of Mike

37
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Dick his press conference. Dick it was the head coach

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: of the Bears. But okay, I'm gonna play John. I

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: can't do it um because they were bombastic. I mean,

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: there were so much fun to watch. Literally, I think

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: Doug Marone is must watch press conference because you just

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: don't know what he's gonna say or how he's gonna

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: say it. He's not going to be bombastic like ditka um,

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: but he always has something to say. You always have

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: one takeaway that makes you laugh. There's always that one

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: liner that is so entertaining and you talk about it

47
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: all week how funny it was. And he just he

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: never misses the chance to tell you exactly what he thinks,

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't do it again in a bombastic,

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: flamboyant way. The subtle little, you know, gry grin on

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: his face sometimes tells you I should laugh at that,

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: because that's I know something's coming. Yeah, it always is

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: with him, all right, time for big things. Let's pick

54
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: the show off, all right, big thing one is healthy

55
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: the full fifty three man roster practice yesterday. We spoke

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: to Brandon Linder in the locker room yesterday. He said

57
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: he's feeling good for Sunday. Yeah, no, I'm feeling good. Um,

58
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: And he feels good. So we're just progressing back in

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and be ready to go. He um. He's a very

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: good talker. He is not a freak talker. Uh, it

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: must be something about St. Thomas Aquin right now, that's

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: where you went to school. Talk a lot. Yeah, I

63
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: just means a good talker, That's what that um. The

64
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: smile on his face yesterday when I said, hey, Brandon,

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: you got a second sure right told me everything that

66
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I needed to know. If he wasn't feeling good, he

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't have wanted to talk because he wouldn't have

68
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: wanted to say I don't know. He wouldn't have wanted

69
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: to lie and say I'm playing this week if you

70
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: knew he wasn't. He came to the interview with some

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: energy and it was great to see. So important to

72
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 1: have that guy in the middle of the offensive line.

73
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: There's some units, Ashlyn, that we have not seen fully

74
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: together this preseason. You know, we did not see the defense,

75
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: the secondary in particular, all together. We didn't see the

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: defensive line altogether. The offensive line is a big part

77
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: of that group too. We didn't see them all together.

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: For them to go to practice this week with all

79
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: fifty three starters available is remarkable. It is. It's the

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: perfect way to start off the season, and you hope

81
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: that it can gather throughout the entire week with all

82
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: those fifty three guys, especially offensive line. I feel like

83
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: all throughout training camp we always talked about them not

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: being together. And I asked Brandon yesterday about the fact

85
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: that you have a brand new starter at left guard,

86
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollar man, right, and he's gotta work with

87
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Cam and he's gotta work with Brandon, even though you

88
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: know the other guys. Putting that one guy in there,

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: that's a big change from where they were last year.

90
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: They had no time together essentially during the preseason, he said.

91
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: They did during the practice week, they did during the

92
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: meeting rooms. He felt confident that with Norwell and his talent,

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: they'd be able to get up to speech that absolutely.

94
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: Remember a Week three against the Falcons when Norwell was

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: making his return, how excited the entire offensive line was

96
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: that they were finally all together in Norwell was making

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: his debut. You know, it also bears note uh and

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: we don't have an injury report yet. We'll have an

99
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: injury report from the Giants tomorrow. Jags will put one

100
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: out tomorrow as well. But just reading the newspapers in

101
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: New York this morning, Um, Olivia Vernon, they're fifteen million

102
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: dollar a year pass rusher uh carted off the field

103
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury during practice last week and is

104
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: not practicing yet, may practice UM. The word from the

105
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: coach yesterday was he was hopeful that he would be

106
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: able to practice this week and play UM. And that's

107
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: what you know they're hoping. Also Evan Ingram, second round

108
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: pick last year, very talented tight end from Ole Miss

109
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: not playing so or at least not practicing not playing

110
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: that comes later this week. You've got two really key

111
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: members of their team not practicing. So just to kind

112
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: of set it in contrast, the Jaguars go to the

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow with everybody that's great, especially with the

114
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: talent those two guys have. With the Giants, that'd be

115
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: a major problem for them not to have the pass

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: rush that that's where it comes from. That's what they

117
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: paid him for, and by all accounts, had a terrific

118
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: offseason and terrific training camp. Was ready to bring it um,

119
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: but as right now, not practicing for them. So the

120
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars very fortunate to have good health on their side

121
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: at this point. And as we say, that's the key

122
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: they were all last year. All right, all right, big

123
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: thing too is practice squad. Tenant guys signed to the

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: practice squad and they're all Jaguars. That the key thing there.

125
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: Whenever someone we need to step up and fill in

126
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: a role, they already know the system. Brian, Yeah, you know,

127
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: this is the interesting part. They have some talented guys

128
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: on that side of the of the equation. They're in

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: the practice squad, guys who were here all through the

130
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: off season and through training camp. And when you can

131
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: stack your practice squad with guys that you feel good

132
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: about and that know your system, it gives you a

133
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: decided advantage because when you need to call someone up,

134
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: and they will at some point this year, there will

135
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: be an injury. I think I've said it. You have

136
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: two running backs, neither of whom have stayed healthy. Only

137
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: one year with for Net right, but his running style

138
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: is so ferocious that it's tough to see that kind

139
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: of a running back playing sixteen games for you. Same

140
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: thing with t J Yelden again, not able to stay

141
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: healthy every game. It's not a position where health is

142
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: a gift, right, Um, if you get it, it is

143
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: a gift. So you see Brandon Wild's down there, who

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: had a really productive preseason really ran well in Tampa

145
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: last Thursday night. To have him to be able to

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: call up and plug him in. Not a guy that

147
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: you have to go sign on Monday afternoon and get

148
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: him here and hope that you can get him up

149
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: to speed. That's the way it is with the entire

150
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: practice squad. All those guys that we just showed our

151
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: guys that can help on special teams immediately. Look, if

152
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: you're coming off the practice squad, that's where you're gonna be.

153
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: You're not gonna come in to be the number one

154
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: backup unless you have catastrophic injuries. Right. So uh they

155
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: showed um uh Mota pa waka right middle linebacker. I

156
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, I finally learned you right as much as

157
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: I can. Andrew Mota Pawaka um who went to Virginia Tech,

158
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: who really cloverd Florida State last night point that one out.

159
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: Uh well, not that I care, But the reality of

160
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: it is is that he's a guy who can come

161
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: into play special teams. So Jody can lean on him

162
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: and feel good about what he's got if he has

163
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: to bring him up because he knows teams. Uh now,

164
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: special teams change. Pardon me, practice squad changes through the

165
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: course of the season because if you have the injuries

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: along the offensive line and need to bring guy in

167
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: just practice just to be able to work against the

168
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: defense or to practice with your offense, it can change.

169
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: But as you start the week, and we mentioned health,

170
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: with your fifty three players all available to you, and

171
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: your practice squad all guys that are guys that can

172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: come up and help you if you need. It's an

173
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: enviable position for Doug Moron and his team and his

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff to be in right now, to be completely healthy.

175
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Now again, I hope that next Monday we're not saying wow, Uh,

176
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: I wish I hadn't said that, because that changes. That's

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: that's that's it's the nature of the game. Um. You know,

178
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: actually we talk all the time about the feel of

179
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: this this team this year. Um. You take Leonard for

180
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Nett right, and and his strength and his backup with

181
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: t J. Yelton, and the ability for this team to

182
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: run the ball and control the tempo. And you look

183
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: at the defense and the way it's built. You know,

184
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: the two dovetailed together very very well. You can play

185
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: a style of ball. Uh. Look at look at the

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: administration with Tom and Dave and Doug and their strengths

187
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: and the way they they have built the football operation

188
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and it runs smooth. So right, um, now you look

189
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: at the way that the practice squad fits in and

190
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: dovetails with the team. If you feel good about this

191
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: team from a talent perspective, you should, and if you

192
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: feel good about this team from a coaching perspective, you should. Um,

193
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: maybe take a different angle on it and just look

194
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: at how all the pieces to the puzzle are coming together.

195
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: People call that karma, cole whatever you want, but they've

196
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: got something working here and rarely do you have all

197
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: the pieces come together. Now again, it can change, but

198
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: as of opening week Tuesday, of opening week, um, there's

199
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: a good feeling about this team and where it's at

200
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: right now. Absolutely talk about it. We all talked about

201
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: all the time the puzzle, putting the piece together and

202
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: Doune rowing his staff every single day during training camp

203
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: an offseason, talked about who's making this team, where are

204
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: they going position groups? So it's not just karma, and look,

205
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean that is every single day hard work putting together.

206
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: That the the karma side of it. And luck, really

207
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: you make your own luck, right the Carme side of

208
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: it is when you just look at the big picture,

209
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: you know from that geostationary orbit where you're looking way

210
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: down thirty feet and you just see how the practice

211
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: squad works with the roster, how well Tom and Dave

212
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: and Doug have built this thing the way that they

213
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: work their squad and put it all together. Right. Uh

214
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: the ticket sales, you had a full stadium this year, right, Um,

215
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: it just the schedule, It all kind of fits together

216
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: well for them at this point, and it is worth

217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: mentioning that, Uh, they have built this thing to be

218
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: able to compete this year and there worked hard for it.

219
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: That's every day, all right. Big thing three is Eli Manning.

220
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: It is not going to be easy on Sunday. The

221
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: guy is a Super Bowl champion. A lot of times

222
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: we hear Sae Klon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr. The big

223
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: guys of the Giants. We don't hear Eli Manning as

224
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,599
Speaker 1: much as I thought we were going to. Well, we

225
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: will challenge going against a guy like Eli is one.

226
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: He's seen every single defense areas. I mean he's been

227
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: in the league, got a going on thirteen some years now,

228
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: so he's seen every single defense, And with a guy

229
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: like that, you know, the coaches kind of give him

230
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: free rein to push the temple a little bit, so

231
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: you'll think you have them figured out. Then he'll they'll

232
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: go hardy for a couple of snaps and then I

233
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: kind of throw you off balunce and go back to

234
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: their regular schedule to the snap count. So, UM, a

235
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: guy like that, he's he's definitely smart. He's out there

236
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: trying to throw you off balance, and UM, that's a tough,

237
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: tough aspect we're going against a guy like that. You know,

238
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Barry and Calais Campbell are two of the guys on

239
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: that defense that faced Eli in the NFC regularly. So

240
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: let's back up to last year when the talk was

241
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: Eli Manning was going to be released or traded, and

242
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars were very much in that conversation, at least

243
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: outside of this building. On the periphery. That's Evan Ingram,

244
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: by the way, the tight end that we mentioned that's

245
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: injured right now. Uh. But so you look at Manning

246
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's benched for Davis Webb

247
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: and the string of games consecutive games is over. And

248
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I remember talking to Chris Sney, who again four time

249
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Guard, Ring of Honor guard for the Giants,

250
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: teammate and friend of Eli. I came we're talking to

251
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: him shortly after that happened, because he's now a scout

252
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: here working with the offensive line group. Um, and he

253
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: was bummed about it. I mean, that's this guy, and

254
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: so it just didn't feel right from a New York perspective,

255
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: like Eli was the guy. Well, now fast forward, they

256
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: just cut Davis Webb, the guy. They had to see.

257
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: They had to end their quarterbacks starting streak and that

258
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: was important to him no matter what. You could see

259
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: the emotion in his eyes when he talked about it.

260
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: They had to end it for this guy, and they

261
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: just cut him. Of Course the general manager was different

262
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: than coach was, but they just cut him. So now

263
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: they are all in on Eli. They draft sa Kwan Barkley,

264
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: they pay Odell Beckham Jr. They rebuild the offensive line.

265
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: They go signed Nate Soldier from the New England Patriots.

266
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Now I think he's the highest paid tackle in football.

267
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: They draft Will Hernandez, who is a a road grading

268
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: guard from Utah, and now they are all in on Manning.

269
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Now there are people in New York there, Well, what's

270
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: your backup plan? Because he's never really been hurt, which

271
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: means you could be at some point fourteen years in

272
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, you're all in on this guy. He's all

273
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: on his shoulders this year, Manning, I expect to rise

274
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: to the challenge and and be his best because he's

275
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: got the confidence of Dave Gettlman and the Giants behind him.

276
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: No way he doesn't rise to that this year. It's

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: just interesting to see how quickly it turns. He thought

278
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: he might not be a Giant at one point last

279
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: year because of all the speculation, and now you can

280
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: all rests on him again. It's crazy to look back

281
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: and think that that was ever an option, you know,

282
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: a year ago today. I think the thing that makes

283
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: him most dangerous and Buried Church said it was the

284
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: experience being in the league for so long, knowing these

285
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: defenses so well. That experience you can't teach, and I

286
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: think that is what makes him stand out. No, and he,

287
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: like his brother, knows the game, grew up in in

288
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: the Saints locker room with his dad Archie, and has

289
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: been around it his entire adult life, both at Old

290
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Miss and now with the Giants plus and he talked

291
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: any of those guys and they all come down for

292
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the j fund in in May every year, and all

293
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: those jobs love Eli and they said, we're talking about

294
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: it last spring. Uh. He really loves being a Giant.

295
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: It's always he didn't want to go anywhere else. He

296
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: loves New Jersey. He loves playing there. And so for him,

297
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean again talking about rising the challenge here he

298
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: is with a great opportunity now to re establish himself

299
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: with an offense that has been retooled, has impressive weapons.

300
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: And we just we'll talk about se Kwon Barkley with

301
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: our guests from the Giants here in a couple of moments.

302
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: But I fully expect this to be an absolute nail

303
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: bider because of Manning. I don't know that their defense

304
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: and will find this out as well. Their defense was

305
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: thirty first last year, and part of that number, Ashley

306
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: is is that the Giants were very good at anything.

307
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: They didn't have se Kwon Barkley. Obviously they didn't have

308
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Who was out and injured. But at

309
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: one point I think they were down there. Their number one, two,

310
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: and three receivers had a rookie tight end. Their offensive

311
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: line wasn't very good, so you got to look at that,

312
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, in contrast with the defense. But they didn't

313
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: do a lot with the defense in the spring. They

314
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: focused on the offense. So we'll see if Manning can

315
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: overcome the defense that doesn't look like it's great. Um,

316
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: but I expect him to rise to the challenge and

317
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: be ready to go this year. Absolutely, look at it

318
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: from the other side of the ball, Eli Manning's point

319
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: of view, going, it's one of the best defenses opening day. Hey, look,

320
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be ready to rise to the occasion. There's

321
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: no doubt. It's just I think people look at the

322
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Giants and they go out, Hey, you know they were

323
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: three and thirteen last year, Right, Eli is thirty seven

324
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: years old, almost thirty eight. He can't be as good

325
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: as he was. Yeah, they got Beckham, but we got Ramsey,

326
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and yeah they got Barkley, but he's a rookie, do

327
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And the reality, Yeah, the

328
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: reality of it is is that Manning is a suit

329
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: two times super Bowl champion, super Bowl m v P

330
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: four reasons, and still has plenty of game left. And

331
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,479
Speaker 1: now that he's got the weapons, He's got an opportunity

332
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday and Opening Day. It's a game changer. If

333
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: you've never been to Opening Day anywhere other than Jacksonville,

334
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: trust me, everywhere it feels the same. And that is, Hey,

335
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: let's start this thing off on the right foot. Let's

336
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: have some energy to play. So the Giants would be ready,

337
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars would be ready, and of course so will

338
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: we On Sunday at MetLife Stadium. We'll take a break

339

00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: New York Giants on Sunday, a big, big game. We're

361
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: happy to welcome in game the reporter for Giants Radio Network,

362
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Paul Dots. You know, Paul, how's it going. Hey, great

363
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: to talk to you. It's about time we get to

364
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: opening day, right right? We've been waiting. Yeah. I mean

365
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: we're just talking about the energy. It doesn't matter what

366
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: city you're in. I mean, in Cleveland, they have energy

367
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: for opening day. And I'm sure that the Giants feel

368
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: that too. Um. You know the interesting part, Paul, that

369
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: that with this Giant's team is just how much. Now,

370
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is back in the square. I mean, he's

371
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: the guy. And and at a time last year, I

372
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of us around the league looked and said,

373
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: is he going to be? Boy? There's no doubt now,

374
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: is there? No? Not at all? I mean he's got

375
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: two support from the GM, the coaching staff, ownership. After

376
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: what happened last year with that heacup of the benching.

377
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Of course, that that Ben McAdoo uh instituted. I think

378
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: everybody at that point like took a deep breath and

379
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: then re evaluated and said, well, wait a minute. I mean,

380
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: let's let's look at let's look at this guy again,

381
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: and and let's let's figure out what he's got left

382
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: if you can. And they've determined that, well, you know what,

383
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: he still makes all the throws. Uh, is in terrific shape,

384
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: has shown no evince of physically breaking down whatsoever. Uh.

385
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: And let's face it, guys, I mean, come on, you

386
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: still see guys like Drew Brees, who's a couple of

387
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: years older than Eli doing what he does. We know

388
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: what Tom Brady does. Uh. You know, Eli would not

389
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: be the first quarterback to you know, play until he's forty.

390
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: I mean, he's only thirty, so I mean why I

391
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: I still don't understand why everybody still looks at him

392
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: like he's ripped Van Winkle, or at least people used to.

393
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Until this past month. He has had a tremendous offseason.

394
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: He looks outstanding well and he's got to be rejuvenated

395
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: by the way that Dave Gentleman and that front office

396
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: rebuilt this offensive line, drafted Sae Kwon, Barkley, Matodell Beckham,

397
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Junr Happy. I mean it appears now that they have

398
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: given him something really fast and powerful to drive. Yeah,

399
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any question as you look

400
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: at the last half a dozen years that the Giants

401
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: have played and only one playoff appearance, the biggest problem

402
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: that that was consistent to all these years has been

403
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: offensive line just could not get it done. And uh,

404
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, look that that affects everything. You know that

405
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: it all starts in the trenches. That's what it's about football,

406
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: one on one. If you're strong in the trenches, at

407
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 1: least you've got a good foundation and a good chance

408
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: to be good in other areas of the game. When

409
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: your trenches a week, it just makes the whole house collapse,

410
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: and so you know, now let's see what he liken do.

411
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: We'll really, we'll really know how much Eli has left

412
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: because now he has the ability to do everything that

413
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: the offensive playbook wants him to do. Paul from the

414
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: national media standpoint, we have heard for weeks Odell Beckham Jr.

415
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: Going against Jalen Ramsey Batman versus Joker. What is the

416
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: storyline like in New York? Regarding that there hasn't been one.

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. Has not been talkative with the media. I

418
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: guess I think I want to say he had one

419
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: press briefing um during the course of training camp when

420
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: he signed his new contract, his extension. Uh. And honestly, uh,

421
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, there was so much to talk about with

422
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: the Brinks truck that had backed up his front door

423
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: that at that point there really wasn't much to say

424
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: about the matchup in week one. Prior to that, Uh,

425
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, again, there was so much conversation about would

426
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: he get the money or would he not get the

427
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: money that this particular matchup has really not caused much

428
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: of a buzz or a star here. I understand on

429
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: the other side of the fence, Uh, it has a

430
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: little bit down in Florida, but but not up here

431
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. And then obviously the David's web waiving

432
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: has been a huge heads on here in New York

433
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: as well. So, uh, you know, I don't mean to

434
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: disappoint anybody, but but the hype machine is not on

435
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: full blast right now. Well, and it's only Tuesday, and

436
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: Jalen talks on Thursday, so so that's liable to change.

437
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: But you know, along those lines, I mean, Beckham is

438
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: obviously a flamboyant, fabulous player. Is there ever a storyline

439
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: about a matchup other than the Josh Norman one in Washington?

440
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: Or do most corners just they don't want to inflame

441
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: him and they just keep their mouth closed and go play. Well,

442
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think Norman Norman was the first guy

443
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I think to really understand that, you know, Beckham cannot

444
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: be covered by by any human being. I mean, that's

445
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: just the way it is. You've gotta have to do

446
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: something else. If you think you're just gonna stop him

447
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: Manoa Mono physically physically, No, it's not gonna happen. Uh.

448
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: To mentally throw him off his game is about the

449
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: only way that you're going to be able to get

450
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: an edge, So I get it. I mean he played

451
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: the site job. He went overboard. I don't think anybody

452
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: would question that he went overboard, went beyond the boundaries

453
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: of sportsmanship and and just decency, and uh, we saw

454
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: what happened. Now. Beckham is older, he's more mature, he

455
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: seems to be again, seems to be on the right track,

456
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: and seems to have all that stuff under control. Whether

457
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: or not he can be bated or goaded remains to

458
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: be seen. We don't think that's gonna happen at this point.

459
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: We think it's a much smarter, much mentally more mentally

460
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: strong Beckham than from years past. But that's that's still

461
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: open to debate. I mean, nobody truly knows until he

462
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: gets out on the field. I'm sure that Ramsey will

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: try to mentally get in his head and do what

464
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: he can to throw him off of his game. I mean,

465
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: Beckham masson't taken a hit since October of last year,

466
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: when you know he was injured and then had the

467
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: ankle surgery. Remember, he hasn't played Okay, he has not

468
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: played in even a preseason game. So you know there's

469
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of us there, and you

470
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: know they talk about guys being in football shape, Macomer

471
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: is not taking a hit. That first hit that he

472
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: gets on Sunday is probably not gonna feel great. So, uh,

473
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, I I if I look, if I were Ramsey,

474
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: I would try to get into his head. Why not?

475
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you gotta test him, don't you. Yeah?

476
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: I think so too. Uh. You know, And clearly the

477
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: story on the offense is just how many weapons there

478
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: are and how talented this bunches in New York. Let's

479
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: flip it to the defense, where last year they finished

480
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: thirty one. I get it. Part of that number is

481
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: based on an offense that couldn't control the tempo of

482
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: the ball game. How much better will they be this year?

483
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: Because it doesn't look on paper, Paul, like they went

484
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: and spent as much time and effort on the defense

485
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: as they did the offense. Well, I think a number

486
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: of a number of factors have to be considered. Uh.

487
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: Jameis Bacher, the new defense record who comes over from

488
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You know, we look at him as maybe

489
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: the biggest addition on defense because, as you said, if

490
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: you look at the roster there, they made some tweaks

491
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: obviously bringing in Barwin, drafting Carter in the linebacking corps,

492
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: making the deal for Ogletree. They've clearly enhanced the linebacking corps.

493
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: That's that's been totally rebuilt, and they really believe that's

494
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: been a huge improvement. But you're right, the secondary is

495
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: is what it was, and they're just hoping guys have

496
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: bounced back years. The defensive line. I think, you know,

497
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: that's been somewhat retooled in that you know, b J. Hill,

498
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: now the rookie they got out of the n CEE State,

499
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: is going to start. Uh. They expect you know, Snax

500
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: Harrison to do what he does and Tomlinson in his

501
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: second year to be better. Um, the new three four

502
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: scheme that Thatcher has uh you know instituted, they think

503
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be a huge impact. They realized that

504
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: he had top ten defenses in every year of his

505
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: coordinatorship in Arizona was primarily because of his disguising. Uh,

506
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's not just all right, they gotta stop

507
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: the run first, which the Giants did a horrible job

508
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: of doing last year. They feel as though with all

509
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: the pre snap motion, with all of the confusion that

510
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: they're going to put on the field. Uh, that's going

511
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: to be a big, big, big help. Uh. And you're right.

512
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, an offense that can control the clock and

513
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: score a lot of points will definitely help a defense.

514
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: The Cowboys used that a few years ago when they

515
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: became a playoff team. Again. Uh, that's a strategy the

516
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: Giants are certain to employ. I would simply maintain to

517
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: you that even though I've been a practice every day,

518
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: I really don't know what they're gonna do on Sunday.

519
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: The Giants have not shown it. They they they've worked

520
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: on their Jacksonville stuff in walkthroughs early in the morning

521
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: before anybody else is at the facility. Me, So I

522
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do when I've been there

523
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: every day. I guarantee you to coach Maron and the

524
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars have no idea what's about to hit them on Sunday,

525
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,199
Speaker 1: either offensively or defensively. Whether it's Beckham, Barkley, Ogiltree. We'll

526
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: see if Olivier run in plays, he's gotta he's got

527
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: a bum ankle right now, so that remains to be seen.

528
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 1: But I don't envy the Jaguars because how could they

529
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: possibly prepare for the Giants not knowing what these two

530
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: coordinators are going to bring out. I just I just

531
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: don't know what Jacksonville could possibly be thinking. It is

532
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: an advantage, for sure. We talked about there not being

533
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of film on Secon Barkley. We said that

534
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: all weeks so we know the national reputation of him,

535
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: how talented he is, but is he ready to make

536
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: waves in the NFL? In your opinion, he is truly

537
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: a special, special, special talent. Um. I was on board

538
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: with the Giants taking them with the number two overall pick,

539
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: because when a guy is that talented, that good, that

540
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: much of a difference maker, I mean, part of part

541
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of we talked about the offensive line before, well, part

542
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: of the reason that this Giants offense is going to

543
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: be so much better. It's not just the fact that

544
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: they've helped the offensive line improve, but they now have

545
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: a guy back there who is a true game breaker.

546
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: His skills, his tool set is unquestioned, his maturity, his

547
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: football intellect is unquestioned. UM. The the only the only

548
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: thing I can say to you about the Giants offensively, UM,

549
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: over the last several years, and you have Tom Coughlin

550
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: down there now, he could tell you the same thing.

551
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: You looked at the Giants and you said, Okay, who's

552
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: the one guy on offense you have to stop. It's

553
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Contain him, control him, and the Giants

554
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: offense really can't do much to you. We will control

555
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: the game, We will decide how this game is gonna

556
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: play out. Well, teams are not going to be able

557
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: to do that to the Giants anymore because now they've

558
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: got four heavy hitters on offense. They've got Beckham, they've

559
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: got Barckley. I really do believe that Evan Ingram, in

560
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: his second year, is quickly becoming one of those kinds

561
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: of guys at tight end. And I will tell you

562
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: that Sterling Shepard, now in his third season, is truly

563
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: ready to break out and go to the next level

564
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: of wide receivers in this league. I would maintain to

565
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: you the Giants now have four guys on the field

566
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: who can score a touchdown from anywhere, anywhere, uh and

567
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: at any time. That is a big deal. That causes

568
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators to have sleepless nights on Monday night is

569
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to game plan. That's the biggest difference in

570
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: this team right now, and they're gonna cause a lot

571
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: of trouble for teams this year. Alright, final thought, Paul,

572
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: you worked with him, You know Tom Coughlin, You know

573
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: how badly he wants to win. He won't say it

574
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: because he's not going to be speaking this week. However,

575
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: you know you and I both have spent a lot

576
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: of time around this man, and he is burning on

577
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: this is that he came back. He's been back for

578
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: the tenuere reunion of the Super of All team and

579
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: to go into the ring of honor um? Is it

580
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: a storyline? I mean, if if the Joker Batman thing isn't,

581
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: is the TC a legitimate storyline in New York as

582
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: we approached the weekend an opening Day, Well, if you

583
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: don't think it is, then you're being naive because somebody

584
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: in the league office, when they started putting the schedule together,

585
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: decided the Jacksonville needed to be at MetLife Stadium opening Day.

586
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, really, there is a reason, either network wise

587
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: or league wise, uh, that they were going to make

588
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: sure they could maximize whatever they could out of the

589
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin New York Giants area reunion. Uh. No, no, Look,

590
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: I will tell you again, the hype machine hasn't really

591
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: worked an overdrive on that storyline as of yet. Again,

592
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: there's been so many other things that the Giants media

593
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: and the fans have had to worry about over the

594
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: course of the last couple of weeks. But as we

595
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: get to Sunday, oh trust me, Look, I'm gonna seek

596
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: him out. I need to shake that man's hand again.

597
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite people I've I've ever met

598
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: in my career. The respect for Tom Coughlin is off

599
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: the charts. And you know, I don't I don't know anybody.

600
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who wasn't rooting for Jacksonville to

601
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: to do it last year in terms of the you know,

602
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: the Giant Nation. Everybody wanted Tom Coughlin to to pull

603
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: that off last season, and so obviously Giant Nation will

604
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: will want to win on Sunday. But there there are

605
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: millions of Giants fans who are huge Tom Coughlin fans

606
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: as well, and I don't think that will ever change. No,

607
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: And and look, hey, when he was the Giants coach,

608
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: Jaguars fans rooted wildly for him and celebrated his two

609
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowls like they were Giants fans. So it's a

610
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: connection obviously that the two franchises have and and we'll

611
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: always have right up to the day that he goes

612
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame. It's just he's such a

613
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: strong personality, Paul, and you can tell people up there.

614
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: He's a tempo setter here now as you know. I mean,

615
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: he sets the expectation level and everyone to the youngest

616
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: kid in the ticketing department sits up a little straight

617
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: or knowing the t season the building I'm with and

618
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: that's why what what I would like to see his

619
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: first year of eligibility for the Hall whenever you know

620
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: that that particular date comes about. I hope that the

621
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars and Giants are playing in that Hall of

622
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: Fame game. The league should show some smarts. You know

623
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: they planned it out this way for opening Day. The

624
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: league should show some smarts to make sure the Giants

625
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: and Jaguars are playing in the Hall of Fame game

626
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: so that everybody can be there and have a huge

627
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: party for Tom. I think you can book it and

628
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: you and I can go host the party. I'd be awesome. Hey, Paul,

629
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: it was great to catch up with you. We look

630

Speaker 1: all throughout everyone in this building was playing it yesterday.

660
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's tough to make that one go away.

661

663
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: Thanks again to pulled the Tino from the Giants Radio

664
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: Network for joining us. Time now for Ashlands analysis. What

665
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: young Ashlyn Sloman is thinking on a Tuesday morning of

666
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: opening week. I turn over to you and I sit

667
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: back to listen. I'm thinking of opening day and for

668
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: lack of a better term, I'm thinking, do not sleep

669
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: on this New York Giants team. We have heard all along,

670
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: we have heard all along how great this Giant or

671
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: this Jaguars team is the strong defense, offensive weapons. But

672
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: this Giant's team has something going with the Eli Manning,

673
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: the s Kwon Barkley, the Odell Beckham Jr. A few

674
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we asked Calais Campbell, you know what happens.

675
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to say it. What happens if the

676
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: Jaguars lose Week one? How will this team handle adversity?

677
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: He said, you know what, we never really thought of

678
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: it that much. We've been so hyped up this offseason

679
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: about when when, when there's no way we can loose.

680
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: If this team faces adversity, how will they bounce back?

681
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't happen, but I'm interested to see,

682
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: and I think the Jaguars will take advantage of the opportunity.

683
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: If adversity hits, and the schedule, you don't go from

684
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: week one to week two and take a step down.

685
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: You go from Eli Manning to Tom Brady so and

686
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: you have to get off to a good start. Starting

687
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: oh and two is a quick way to put yourself

688
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: way behind in playoff contention. So there's that pressure on

689
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: this team. And truthfully, the Giants are not a team.

690
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: I mean they always face pressure. They're in New York,

691
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: their fans are always restless, especially after three and thirteen. However,

692
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: you have a brand new head coach, a new general

693
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: manager who's battling cancer, by the way, and are rebuilt

694
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: offense and a defense with a brand new coordinator. There's

695
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a little less expectation in New York then

696
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: there is in Jacksonville. Is so good Clay as his

697
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: words ring true, and that is you know, this team

698
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: has got to be mentally tough and able to handle

699
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: adversity because Eli is gonna throw some adam on Sunday.

700
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: We said yesterday, we said it today, We'll say it

701
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Thursday and Friday. Don't think just because this

702
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: Giant's team was three and thirteen last year that they

703
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: can't come out and put a whipp in on you.

704
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem likely against this defense. But when you

705
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: have the rules stacked in the favor of the wide receivers,

706
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: and you may have the best receiver in the game

707
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: in Odell Beckham, Jr. You have the best corner against him, right,

708
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: but the rules are still stacked. Yeah, exactly. Um, we

709
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 1: saw what Leonard for Net can do as a rookie.

710
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: Now you bring in Barkley and you would expect that

711
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's capable of running up for a

712
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards, right. I remember when he reminds me a

713
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: bit of Fred Taylor. I told you yesterday with his

714
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: his patients and then his vision and then his acceleration.

715
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: Uh you know Fred Boom third carry as the starting

716
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: running back against Baltimore here ran for fifty two yard touchdown.

717
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: He plays a position where he can have an immediate impact.

718
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: These giants can get you, and they can put you

719
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: in a hole to start the season if you don't

720
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: go in there ready to play. Right, and everyone in

721
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: the country is thinking Jaguar's winning Super Bowl playoffs. If

722
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: adversity strikes, you have six days to get ready for

723
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots here at home, so a quick turnaround.

724
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: It's a long season, there's no doubt, but oh and

725
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: two is not an option for a team that has

726
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: on Super Bowl. So you've got to get off to

727
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: a good one, which means you better be ready to

728
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: play against the Giants on Sunday. Absolutely all right. So

729
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: my analysis is be ready, be ready to play on Sunday.

730
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: Simple good, simple, simple job right, Okay, what else you got?

731
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: We have a community spotlight on a rookie ride receiver

732
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: out of l s U d J. Chark making headlines

733
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: starting training camp has really seemed to fit in with

734
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: this team in the water not so much. Take a look,

735
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: all right, okay, ready go just Rett small, that's it.

736
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: Go ahead, there it is there, it is there, it is.

737
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: That's it. Make the arms a little smaller. Every time

738
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're going on a boat or anything like that,

739
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't go because I was afraid of the water. God.

740
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to properly surround. I could like

741
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: getting the pool and probably get back to where I

742
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: came from, but it wasn't a gaintee that I was

743
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: gonna get back. So I wanted to pretty much warn

744
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: hout to swim so I can start, you know, doing

745
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: more activities with other people, and I wouldn't be at

746
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: limetis that's it? You got it? This is all you.

747
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: That's all you mean. Yep, you're good, You're good. He

748
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: didn't swim it all the first time. The first night,

749
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: he didn't attempt to swim at all. We had a

750
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: belt on him with a noodle, just to get him

751
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable in the water, like it's a safe

752
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: place to be. And I think that's what's important. If

753
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna feak somebody how to swim, they've got to

754
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: feel safe. I did, Yeah, it's walked. Then I saw

755
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: these pools I a lot. I can't get in these pools.

756
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: So we got in a small pool on that end

757
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: when they do the workouts and you know they're talking

758
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: the basis, and I was able to get more comfortable

759
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: for about a second time. I can't. By the end,

760
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: I had to dive into the deep end, and I

761
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: feel comfortable doing that. So it took me a while

762
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: to get comfortable with having water over my head and

763
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: getting back to the top and just can't working. And

764
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: they're getting better and better and better, and to like today,

765
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll feel way more comfortable doing everything. They say, Yes,

766
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: that's it, that's it. I'll tell you. The biggest thing

767
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: is your attitude, your attitude and your want to and

768
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: his attitude is so positive. He just wants to learn,

769
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: and you can hear him tonight. I just want to

770
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: be able to spend. You gotta believe that you can

771
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: do this, and when that happens and miracles happens, do it. Yep,

772
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: that's it. There you go. You go the whole the

773
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: whole way, swimming the length of the pool. That my

774
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: first time ever doing that. And by the by the

775
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: time you finished, you know, your heart's beating real hard.

776
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: But like I just got through with the workout practice.

777
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: But we just had to a day. Oh man. So

778
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: that stories stem from. There's a segment on Jaguars dot

779
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: com called No Your Jacks where you find out more

780
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: about the players off the field, and one of the

781
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: questions was what's your biggest phobia? And he says, swimming water.

782
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how to swim. It's one of the

783
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: pr members of the Jaguar said, do you want to

784
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: learn how to swim? And over the offseason they took

785
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: him to the y m c A. And now he's

786
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: a professional. It looks like if he takes to the

787
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: NFL as quickly as he took the swimming looks swimming

788
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: the length of the pool and what two three lessons, uh,

789
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: he could have a big impact this year as well,

790
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: and and big. It could just be three or four

791
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: catches a game, two catches a game converting to three downs.

792
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: That big body, those long arms, is big hands. Yeah,

793
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: good kid, he can make an impact for sure. My

794
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: takeaway from that is when the swim in structor talks

795
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: about his attitude, the positive attitude, we see that every

796
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: day in the locker room, every day on the field.

797
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: Really just a positive kid who you can tell is

798
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: really happy to be here. Great kids, smart kid and

799
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: a guy the Jaguars believe and they feel really strongly about,

800
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: like kind of like Paul did about te Kuon Barkley.

801
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: That can have an impact quickly. All right, we'll take

802
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: a breaking back one more segment of Jack's Drive Time

00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: New York has been around for a long time. We

832
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: all know New York. All right. Here are some things

833
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:32,640

00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: other words, there are things you probably don't like about

839
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: Philip New York from a Philadelphia perspective. Your bias is

840
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It says here don't know about New York.

841

00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: they don't fold in half. They they just need it.

Speaker 1: an empty pot of gold at the end of the

00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: chalk outline of a dead lever gun. These are things

849
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: you may not know. I didn't know. I didn't know that, alright.

850
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: The term New York minute derived from the time it

851
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 1: takes for the light to turn green and the taxi

852
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: behind you just start blowing his horn. I didn't know that, alright.

853
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: Number two, it's the only city where three am you

854
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: can get an oil change a half dozen devil d

00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: don't know. How do you know that? I'm guessing, just guessing.

858
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,000

Speaker 1: might try to get him for forty bucks. We'll leave

867
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: that one alone. That's hey, Joe, folks. Whenever we can

868
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: get him to do it, he'll do it. Sometimes I

869
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: look at him and say, hey, how about Hey, Joe,

870
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: and he says, hey, yeah, exactly. We'll leave that one

871
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: alone all right. Time for AFC South Headlines, news and

872
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: notes from around the division. Jaguars don't play their first

873
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 1: division game until Week three, but we'll follow them every

874
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: week here on Jags Drive Time. So let's roll them

875
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: out for you, and we'll start with a Hall of

876
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: Famer gone now not J. J. Watt. But I panicked

877
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 1: when I first read that. Thank god I didn't hear this.

878
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Jaguars fancy panic at G G. Watt

879
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: says goodbye. But forty two year old Hunters Shane Lechler,

880
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: a nine time All Pro, nine time All Pro that

881
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: is amendous, and a guy last year who punted eleven

882
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: times in the Jaguars game and on eleven punts average

883
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: average forty seven yards. Look, it's easy, Joe to average

884
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: forty seven yards on two points or three points, but

885
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: on eleven guys one of the great of all time.

886
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: And J. J. Watt said as much, tweeting it out

887
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: how much he'd be missed. I tell you myself, I

888
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: know there were times where the Jaguars were late in

889
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: the ball game and Leckler flip the field so bye

890
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: bye bye bye bye years old. That's a great career.

891
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: And he says he's not done. We'll see if he

892
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: lands somewhere. Good for him. Okay, up next the Indianapolis Courts.

893
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, the Titans. Um, we'll go with that. Uh.

894
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: They get Jack Conklin back to the practice field this week.

895
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: It was all Pros, a rookie, the right tackle from

896
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: Michigan State. Two years ago. You know, they led the

897
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: league in rushing and they ground it out. I mean

898
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: they just tore people up. Um. Jack income is a

899
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: big reason why they have two outstanding tackles now one

900
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: of the highest paid tackles in the legal on the

901
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: other side, and they get Conklin back, if you're pretty

902
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: good about where they're going. You know, people talk about

903
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Texans in this division for good reason.

904
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: The Titans beat this team twice last year, and the

905
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: Titans have plenty to be optimistic about. If Conklin can play,

906
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great division, making holes for Derrick Henry,

907
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Now to the Colts, who, well, they

908
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: need some luck this year because their defense is not

909
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: desperately Did I mention that it's it's really bad. It's

910
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: really bad. They're gonna as many as five new starters

911
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: with a new scheme and a new coordinator on a

912
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: defense that wasn't all that good last year, not very good.

913
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: They're gonna need Andrew Lunch to play like the best

914
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in the division, one of the best quarterbacks in football,

915
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: which when he does, they're really really good. But the

916
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: Colts are leaning on the offense and leaning heavily on

917
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Luck right now while they wait to see if that

918
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: defense find some young players who can step in and

919
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: play right. You never know. I mean, change can be

920
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: a good thing. New scheme, new players, you never know.

921
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 1: But I agree that Luck's he's the key there. Yea,

922
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: he is absolutely the key. So that's the a f

923
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: C South. Why don't we go around the National Football

924
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: League while we're at it and give you some of

925
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: the top headlines there before we sign off on a

926
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning, And we'll start with Bills and Bears. And

927
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: this is Nathan Peterman, the Bartram Trail product, which is

928
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, a factory down there now turning out Tom

929
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: Tower uh is going to get the start this week

930
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: to start off the season. Outlook, they draft Josh Allen

931
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: in the top, but what was the seventh overall? I think,

932
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: But he didn't win the job. He had some injury issues.

933
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: They trade a J. Mccarre into the Raiders and they

934
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: put it in Nathan Peterman's hands. He had the five

935
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 1: interception game, may have been a half if I recall

936
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: right in l A last year and people though, well,

937
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, wash him out, but he was a top

938
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 1: prospect coming out of Bartram Trail and they believed in

939
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: him enough last year to sit to Rod Taylor. And

940
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: so now he gets the chance to start the season.

941
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: He's not a long term solution there. He knows that

942
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: they know that, but he's starting to see isn't so

943
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: good on him? Local boy does well, makes the people

944
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: down in Bear country very very proud. And that includes

945
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: our own day to Candice. What else have we got

946
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: in the National Football League? Oh? Oh, this one? Um?

947
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: The Eagles players let the cat out of the bag

948
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: about the starting quarterbacks. Did you see Doug Peterson? So

949
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: you were asking me about Nick Saban? I mean, Nick

950
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: Saban looks like a poser compared to Doug Peterson this week?

951
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Doug Peterson? Flipping out with hey, look,

952
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,359
Speaker 1: he's the quarterback we're gonna ask. He keeps saying it's

953
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: a medical decision. Like I said yesterday, his body language

954
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: tells me that Wentz not only doesn't start this week,

955
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: but isn't ready to start the next week. And maybe

956
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: the next week. We'll see. Wentz wants to play, but

957
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: he's a fifteen year quarterback. I mean, Paul Latino talked

958
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: about how Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and how Eli

959
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: Manning play into their forties. Brenthrve played up there. Aaron

960
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: Rodgers is talking about, well, that's what Wentz is going

961
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: to be, and you're not going to make a decision

962
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: on this quarterback on his knee in September of his

963
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: third year when you won the Super Bowl with the

964
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: guy you got. And it's totally different from save where

965
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: there's no medical reasoning this. I mean, I get it,

966
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: it's a medical reason. He's not a doctor. He can't

967
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: answer those questions. No, But come on, understand, we got

968
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: a question to ask you to answer right and say,

969
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you, smile, I'm not telling you. Ask

970
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: me tomorrow and here's the answer. Not telling you. So

971
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: just queue this up. Every day. Right, I wear the

972
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: same shirt every day anyway, the same visor. Can't you

973
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: see it's all sweat stained from camp? Right? Okay, alright,

974
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: let's wrap up our look around the National Football League.

975
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: No Levian Bell still silence. You know last year they

976
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: put the franchise tag on. He didn't show up until

977
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 1: the week of the regular season opener. Well, every team

978
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: had the bonus practice day yesterday, Right, Monday's normally a

979
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: review day, not this week because there's no game to review.

980
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: Nothing from Levan Bell. Now he's sitting on what four

981
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: teen point five five million dollars. He just has to

982
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: sign the tender and show up to play um. But

983
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: as of this morning, he still had given no indication

984
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: of what he's going to do. And we all know

985
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: what a big part of the Steelers offense he is

986
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: huge talk about. I mean, could you imagine if we

987
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: were this week talking about Leonard for not not being him,

988
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: how would you talk about anything else. He's the personality

989
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: of this team, and Levi on Bell is the offensive

990
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: personality of that team because he is such a versatile player, receiver,

991
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: running back, big plays, grind it out in the middle, um,

992
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: he makes everything else go It's much easier to defend

993
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: an Tonio Brown without Levan Bell. Right, all right, talk

994
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,319
Speaker 1: about issues, man. So that's the division, that's the league.

995
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: We gave you the giants, actually analysis, we talked swimming.

996
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you could ask right for

997
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: a free show, right, I don't think you could ask

998
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: for anything more dot com free website. Absolutely, thanks for

999
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: joining us this morning. We'll be back tomorrow morning. What

1000
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 1: are we gonna talk about? Probably more giants, I'm going

1001
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: to guess, and we'll figure it out sometime between now

1002
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: and tomorrow. At eight thirties, we have just under or

1003
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: just over twenty three hours. I think we can make

1004
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: it happy. Thanks to Joe Fortunato and Patrick Kavanaugh and

1005
