So Hey, this week, guys, we have 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.280 the new York Giants. Yeah, and I'm going to start 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.200 this off with something that I know Tanner wants to 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.440 say right away, but it's it is to me, it's 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.280 the thing for this game. Never fall for the bandon 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.040 the tailpipe, ah Tanna, So tell us why we can 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:15.520 never fall for the band in the tailpipe. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.679 I mean, if you listen to Fred you think that 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.880 we should just roll out there and beat these guys. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.080 Come on, it's the veto. 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:21.840 It's the veto. 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.600 But to me, when you're looking at this this team, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.440 the Giants, defense of what calls caused us to be 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.080 where we was at last time we face them. You 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.119 come into this game if you watch the last week 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.520 game against the Cowboys, the first two or three series, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.280 the Cowboys and have a touchdown because the defense was 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.440 humming and actually that pressed out through a pick before 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.600 they even score any points. So that defense could be 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.080 the reason why they end the game. Now, I understand, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.040 it's a team game, so we have to do what 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.840 we have to do offensively, and they have to do 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:54.400 what they have to do as well. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:55.120 The score points. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.000 But I'm not coming into this game just thinking that 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.800 because they got the veto, they're not going to find 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.480 a wa to be productive offensively. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.080 I saw at times. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.800 When he ran the ball, thing slowed down for him offensively, 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.080 and he was able to complete some passes here and there. 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.800 They have the capable guys we know on defense. We 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.080 already said this about us. We're not great. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.320 We'll do a lot of great things, but we're not 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.079 good enough to sit there and say that we can 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.000 just walk into the stadium and beat the team. 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.720 So with them, they have to they. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.680 Have to lead on us. In the last three three 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.720 three last three games they won. We have to make 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.720 sure this game, Like I said last time, it's vital 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:31.400 for us to go out there and bring it to 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.440 them and leave out of that stadium. 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.120 With a victory. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.640 To stop all that now in the tail in the 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.720 kool aid, I don't think all in the damn in 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:40.799 the morning, all. 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.919 That stuff you got going, I don't think it went 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.480 in there. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.280 I just think after you go to school for like 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.679 three years with a person, y'alln't got into a couple of, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.280 you know, fisticuffs, kind of like a bully. To you, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.600 when you see that bully lip it down the street 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.080 with his un broke, I'm fina. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.600 Gone, I'm fin of gone get you back for every. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.200 Last I just think if we're ever going to beat 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.160 this team, it has to be this week. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.240 That's true, but don't have you You can't go into 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.440 the mindset of saying it's just gonna happen. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.080 Oh yeah, that's what happened to us. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.880 Againt Chicago Bears think we went in there with the 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.240 Chicago Bears thought we were just gonna beat them. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:18.280 It didn't happen. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.680 Joshua Dobbs almost pulled it off. Who I apologized for 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.840 at the beginning of the year calling him out. He's 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.560 the only thing he's balled been a balled up. So 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.760 all I'm saying is, no, you cannot go into this. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.480 But if you're putting this thing on paper and you're saying, 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.080 all right, they are the reason that our offensive line 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:36.800 is playing as good as they are right now. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.119 We changed everything after the Giants game. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.960 They're gonna be playing a new version of our offensive line, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.600 plush them down one Leonard Williams on their defensive line 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.120 and numerous and when I say numerous, numerous people injured. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.400 I just feel this is one of the things where 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:55.840 I don't think this is a player's game. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.760 I think this is a coaches game. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.480 And coaches gave him from what SATPO. They need to 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:01.440 motivate the guys. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.160 Not motivation, just the exs and os of it. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.560 I think the extens and those think about it, and 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.760 the Giants coaches stay with coach Dave bar gonna do 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.520 everything in their power to make sure that the Veto don't. 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:13.200 Lose the game. 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.920 They're not gonna be coaching for him to win it, Like, well, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.000 guess what that means? Defense first white, So that mean 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.440 on offense, we're gonna have to get a couple of 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.039 big plays on their defense to get them on their heels. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.160 So they're gonna coach a defensive type games. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.480 So you've been a defensive guy. You know that. 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.919 When we faced Week last time, he brought everybody in 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.520 the kitchen singing at times. Do you think now with 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.760 a couple of guys nicked up, you don't have Leonard, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:42.040 you have Tipodeau kind of you're not sure. He's questionable, questionable, 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.360 you got flocked questionable. You got so many different guys 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.320 that's questionable. Do you think this would be a more 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:47.720 of one of those games where he said, Okay, now 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.400 I have to put more guys in coverage because we've 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.520 seen what you know, what Sam has been doing the 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.960 last few weeks, even the week that we faced them. 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.600 Sam came back the second half and started some good background. 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.479 So with that being said, do you think he comes 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:00.640 in with the aim approach? 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.080 Yeah? 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.680 Or do you think he changed up a little bit 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:03.400 put more guys in. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.640 I think he can't help, but be wink Mondale. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:07.359 I think that's I agree. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.720 Yeah, I just think that in. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.760 His DNA to say, you know and then think about 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.599 it town. It was successful the first time, so he 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.560 gonna be like I want to see because I don't 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.680 see nobody fix it. Yeah, I don't want to see 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.599 I don't see nobody that blitch him like I did. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.919 Since we played him, have they fixed that situation? And 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.360 all right, maybe I can't run the same blitz as 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.440 I ran in the first game. Maybe I'm run a 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.839 little bit something off of those blitzes and try to 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.840 get him to throw into coverage at the same time. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.480 So I still think he can't help, but be weink Monindale. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.359 Yeah, I totally agree, And I think, like tann Of, 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.040 you alluded this a little bit already, like the thing 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.599 that changed, like you watched that Dallas game. They're in 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.200 that first quarter at seventh zero at the end of 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.680 that first quarter because they got to turn over right 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.479 away and they get a fourth down stop. And so 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.200 I look at what they do well against us, specifically 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:56.800 that defense. They find explosive defensive plays, so sacks, fumbles, interceptions, 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.599 they maximize those things and put their offense in an 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.080 advantageous position. The other thing that they did in the 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.400 first matchup is they were in really good field position 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.960 the whole game. They had us backed up, They kept 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.680 us back up. We couldn't get out of that position. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.240 You watch the Dallas game completely opposite. They were backed 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:13.560 up the whole time. They couldn't get out of the 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.039 shadow of their own in zone. So to me, if 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.400 if there if there's not a good answer to your point, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.160 cred fred with with regards to like, yeah, treg with 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.520 regards to the x's and o's, the x's and o's 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.800 of eb if you don't have a good plan for 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.520 what wing's gonna do, this is gonna be really challenging. Yeah, 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.360 and and and that defense can wreck the game. They 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:35.960 we only scored seven points last game. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.039 But that's why I said it is a This is 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.839 a coaches game. To me, I agree, this is coaches 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.240 win this game with the pen. They're not gonna win 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.279 it with a speech. They're gonna ain't gonna win it 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.920 with ryding nobody up. They're gonna win it with the pen. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.159 Who is the better course? 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.400 So what do you want to see with the pen? 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.360 From eb and this coaching stuff. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.280 What I want to see is just basically some of 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.120 the things I've seen this past few weeks, design and 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.640 plays that I got a man right now designing those 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.400 plays where Okay, we're running slants because we. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.440 Know they're gonna be a man and man, we're gonna run. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.120 We're gonna run things where I watched the game last 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.440 week when this past Monday, and they brought the blitz 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.640 and the first thing, Man Troy Aikman said he can't 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.520 take a sack right here, and boom they brought the blitz. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.760 You could see Russ wanting to do something, but he 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.520 just had the ball up. He didn't fumble the ball. Boom, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.800 next play he said, they're gonna do it again. He 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.920 can't take the sack right here. And the first thing 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.680 I'm saying is it's man, throw it up. Or throw 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.040 run and Rush just threw it up. I mean it 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.600 was a bad ball because if he threw it the 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.840 way he should have, it would have been a touchdown. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.280 And guess what, it was a p I. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.760 So if we're gonna be seeing this, we gotta have 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.880 plays going into offensively. Like you say, if it ain't broke, 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.840 don't fix it. We're not gonna fix things. You got 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.040 to anticipate him bringing that same way we anticipating Bills 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.600 looking at some of the stuff that we put on 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.160 film and saying he's gonna come with stuff, So rother 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.600 wink show us to us or not. If he's showing it, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.760 then we got to play for it. We've been checking 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.360 well enough, we've been doing some of these things at 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.920 the line of scrimmens that allow us. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.640 To be a little more efficient on offense. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.200 So hey, maybe we check into something, or maybe we 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.960 change something in line because of what we saw. Maybe 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.120 they show us something back out of it regards to 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.239 what it is. Have something for the worst case scenario, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.760 and if they don't, then't be prepared to go ahead 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:19.160 on you. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.120 You have to weaponize his blitzing. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.800 You have to use his aggressiveness against him when I say, 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.440 use it against him. I want to have two or 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.720 three tight end and running back screens already sit right 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:31.200 into the. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.080 Teeth of the blitz. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.360 I want to throw, of course, the quick game, but 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.560 I also want to uh. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.119 I want to utilize. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.680 I want to make them go left to right instead 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.439 of letting them go vertically up the field. I want 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.079 to cause them to think. So now, not gadget plays, 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.640 but quick hitting plays that are allow him to rush 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.520 that we do stuff that you do, but also want 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.360 to do it over and over like I would not 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.160 be mad if I seen three tight ends. Well, if 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.200 they're blitzing off the edge with their nickel right there, yep, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.880 tight end, you hot lineman letting me in. Now we 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.560 got more in front of him than behind us. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.680 I saw something that Bass did last week that led 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:12.400 me to know that. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.400 See we're talking now in these meats. We're talking. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.880 When Bates came off the line, they brought somebody off 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.920 of base and Bates looked to see, hey, I'm hot, 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.640 let me make sure he ain't throwing it, and he 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:23.800 ran and Roders still got the ball. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.520 You still understanding. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.760 So that's allowed me to, you know, to believe that 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.680 it's been mentioned to pay attention because you never know 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.040 you might get it right now or if you're not 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.600 just going along through you know what you're design or 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.199 assigned play and you never know you might still get 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.720 the ball in which he did. But that that gives 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.120 me a you know, it made me smile because it's 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.760 something that when as a player, I did it all 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.480 the time, like, man, I'm hot, like I'm giving give 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.040 it to me now, because Lord knows you're putting into 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:51.880 the right person's hand. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.920 Oh with a blitz it's god. Yeah, you one tackle, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.040 one mistackle away. 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:56.760 Now we're talking. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.920 And something you've seen the last couple of weeks, so 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.320 against the Raiders and against the Dallas Cowboys from this 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.080 wing Martin Dell defense is they teams have been getting empty. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.520 And you mentioned the slants, Tanna, and I saw Jacobe 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.200 Myers catch like a little now route, like a little choice, 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.880 you know, lookie kind of route. Looking guys pressing him, 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.880 beats him at the line of scrimmage. He's wide open 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.280 for a big game. Brandon Cook's same thing. So I 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.439 think a lot of people think, oh, we got to 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.880 keep protectors in. We got to add all this protection. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.360 Sometimes spreading them out. Is difining those best matchups is 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.000 a really helpful way to do that. So I think 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.600 that's something to keep an eye on, Max protect spread 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.640 them out, just make sure we got answers to get 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.440 the ball out of samsown and hands quickly, and then 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.520 can our receivers win in those man finistrations? 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.000 Can I we just talked about the pen. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.199 I should be having Terry McLaurin on Banks as many 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.560 times as possible. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.720 All right, Banks question? 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.280 Yeah, I'm just saying, oh, if question most definities question. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.120 So I want to put my best against your inexperience. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.400 Like my time, Banks has been playing pretty good, Yeah. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.280 Until Cook's kind of got a little hole. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:10:59.840 Lo and not and not. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:01.839 I feel like that was in all him though. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.360 Yeah, but you got a Dora Jackson who hasn't been 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.760 playing he's out. Yeah, I'm gonna say he hasn't been. 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.880 Playing flock that I showed us something like that. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.000 Yea, yeah, So I listen. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.439 I want to get these d My wide receiver was 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.280 on their dbs, and if Banks is playing the best 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.360 corner for them right now, it's fine. I'm gonna put 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:20.440 my best receiver over there. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.880 Banks was following your boy Terry last time, falling Cedee 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.360 lamb all last week, and then at times he got 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.200 and he just played whatever. 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.400 But he's one of those guys. He felt like he 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.280 was doing this thing against us. I watched this, I 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:33.800 watched his cockless good. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:37.200 But he also is the only way to expose him 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.240 is to give them what they've been giving out rookie 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:40.840 Adosa to the number one receiver. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.280 So another thing that we've changed since the last game 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.400 is the offensive line. I think, Tyler Larson interesting in 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.960 this game, you mentioned e B, mentioned the protections, mentioned 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.080 the opportunity, mentioned the matters outside. To me, Tyler Larson, 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.400 can you get this protection called correctly and get this 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.960 offensive line going to the right guys. Making sure that 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.960 there aren't those free runners like there were last week. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.200 Make sure we're just generally on the same pitch. Gonna 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.440 be super important. Next thing I think is we need 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.680 to talk about really quickly. We mentioned briefly at the top, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.320 is Tommy DeVito Sakwon Barkley this Giants offense. Who is 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:13.600 Tommy DeVito in your estimation? 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.640 Please don't want to ask me that question. 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.960 You're going to come with some nonsense. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:20.679 Who is he? 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:25.320 Hem, I want to know who is Tommy to Meeta Richard, Syracuse. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:30.880 He can make plays off schedule, Let's not take that 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:31.720 away from him. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.920 But the hardest dam Jones little brother. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.240 Yeah, but the hard thing is to do in the 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.760 NFL for quarterbacks to make own schedule plays. And that's 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.360 what he doesn't do well. Not the tallest guy, so 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:46.079 he don't see over the line like everybody else. Tommy 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.760 DeVito is the cousin of Danny DeVito. That's all we 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.959 need to know. And he's a backup in this league. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.120 He's a backup in this league for a reason, and 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.240 a young rookie trying to catch up. It that I 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.840 think he's a radic At times. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.199 I think he's getting. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.720 Better because he's getting some some playing under his belt, 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:07.640 but the coach. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.760 Is only gonna let him go so far with the 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.280 play call. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.680 And that's the thing that I think going forever, whole 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.520 young quarterbacks back he is. They're gonna spoon feed you 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.679 this stuff and still tell you not to throw a 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:18.240 deep right. 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:19.800 And I think that's the thing I was thinking about 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.000 if I was the Giant's coaching staff, how do you 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:22.560 win this game? 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:22.840 Like? 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:23.000 What? 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:23.280 Like? 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.600 What is my game plan, and the game plan that 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.800 I that I came to was it. I need to 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.080 find five to seven exposive plays with the veto. The 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.599 problem is, I don't know if you can throw the 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.200 ball that far. He's got a little Taylor Heineke Jake 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:40.679 from to him like that. He's competitive, he can run, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.040 he's got a quick release. The arm talent down the 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.520 field isn't there for him, so you're really limited. And 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.440 the handcuffs are on him. Man, they don't let him 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.120 do a lot, and and I don't know, Like I 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:52.800 just think if I was gonna win this game, if 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.520 I said I have to beat the Commanders, what am 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.000 I gonna do? 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.240 Run play actually scream. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.839 It's it's sa Quan for sure. Run I gotta get 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:02.320 the ball down the field, run. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.360 Play, get down the field. Gonna they're gonna double move 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.679 us down the field. They know we're susceptible to it. 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.000 They're gonna double move us downfield. They're gonna hope that 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.760 at worst case we get a pass interference call. They're 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.680 gonna heavy dose to Sa Kuan screen game. They're gonna 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.040 have number seventeen doing all the motion stuff. Get the 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.800 ball in his hands, right now, give him a little 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.120 dump off. They gonna look when I watched that game, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.280 that's what they want to do to the Cowboys. But 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.040 the Cowboys so powerful that they so disruptive, like you 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:29.800 can't do it. They don't allow you to do that 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.680 because they have guys on every level that could be disruptive. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.200 The DB's disruptive, the linebacker is disruptive, the d lineman disruptive. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.600 So they're gonna go out there and saying, Okay, where 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.440 you weak at who we can pick on? Yeah, and 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.200 they gonna pick on them and not saying that he's 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.560 gonna pick on them and throw for a whole bunch 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.480 of yards or run for a whole bunch of yards. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.760 He just gonna find where even if we not our best, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.200 they're gonna give us something, you understand, And that's what 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.880 we have shown. We've shown from time to time we 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.000 could be in the best coverage we can be right here. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.400 But guess what, we're gonna panic and we're gonna give 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.200 them a passing appearence are We're going to give him 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:02.880 another chance for another play. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:03.720 They're going to. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:07.400 Try to weaponize. They're gonna try to weaponize field position. 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.040 This is a field position. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.920 Position defense gonna get out of us the best way. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.880 They can try to force us this way, you gotta 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.440 shout that field position. We got to keep them behind 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.400 the chains, and we got to stay in front of 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.640 the chains. But we also is big play disparity. Who 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.320 has the big who has the most twenty yard plays? 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.200 That's gonna be the call of this game. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.000 Yeah, and I think Tanny, you mentioned the Dallas was 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.600 really powerful. Obviously, the offensive line for the Giants is 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.200 really banged up. It's prevented. It's one of the reasons, 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.160 in addition to Divido's arm, that they haven't been able 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.720 to push the ball down the field. You mentioned sakuon Barkley. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.840 They're gonna lean on him heavy. But again, the old 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:46.640 line is struggling. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.480 Has played a lot better though since US Sweet not 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.360 even since US like the last few weeks. I mean 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.480 before they played played the played the Cowboy, they was 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:55.080 playing a lot better. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.160 Yeah, Evan Neil's playing better, but I think he might 0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.360 be out with an ankle. But the interior guys are guys, 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.360 they're just not there yet. They're they're the most sacked 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.720 team in the NFL. Think about it. Daniel Jones is 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.840 still the second most sacked player in the NFL after 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.160 Sam Howe, and he has missed three footballs. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.480 Three football games and that's why depending on he who 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:14.920
