00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants Huddle on Giants

00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: dot Com.

00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: We go Here, we go on the Giants Let's Go,

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: part of the Giants Podcast Network.

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 3: Welcome to another edition of the Giantshuttle podcast, brought to

6
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 3: you by Citizens, the official bank of the Giants. I

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 3: am John Schmelk. Now, Giant fans might not know this

8
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 3: guy next to me. He's very unfamiliar. He's been away,

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 3: he's abandoned us.

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: Still have the same haircut, but yes, just like mine.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: And yes, so this is Jeff Fiegeles, former Giants punter.

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: You might know him from such shows as Big Blue

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: Kickoff Live and the guy who used to kick the

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: ball for the New York Football Giants as well.

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: It's good to see you, Bud.

16
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: Great to be in the building. Things have changed a

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: little bit in here, but for the better. But for

18
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: the better, I would say, Yeah, it's.

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Nice, Jeff. The only way to get you back here

20
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: is just on autographs now, and that's why you're here.

21
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Today, for here today, the site of autographs.

22
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you are gonna hopefully do some stuff with

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: us over the course of the season.

24
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: Which is great. How are you you left to start

25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the business.

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh no, it's going well. You know, at times

27
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: it's a little more difficult than you know you think.

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: Is it the business part of it or the sun's

29
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: part of it?

30
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: Good question. I think it's a little bit of both.

31
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: It's funny because you know, you have to understand that

32
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: you have to be a dad and then you have

33
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: to be a boss.

34
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: So but you know what both of us involved yelling

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: at your kids by the way.

36
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just when they're older now, so I

37
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: don't have to yell at them too much. But what

38
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: we do we do run it like you know something

39
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: I was involved in a long time, and that's football.

40
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: It's like a team. So we run it like a team.

41
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: We have a team meeting in the morning at nine

42
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: and go over what we're going to be doing.

43
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: And do you have like Tom Coffin like regulations for

44
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: being to these meetings on time?

45
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: I try to. I try to work, but there's there's

46
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: commuting involved this thing, so I give them the benefit

47
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: of the doubt. But uh and they don't have any

48
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: money for me to find them, so it doesn't really matter.

49
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: Well, you are giving a paycheck, so you could just

50
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: take it right out.

51
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: Well, I could do that too, I guess, but maybe

52
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: this maybe a year two, it'll be a little bit different.

53
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: But I am having a good time. I do miss

54
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: you guys. You miss being around the team and things

55
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: like that. So but it'll be exciting to talk a

56
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: little bit about the giants coming up. And you know,

57
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: training camp was always a fun time of the year

58
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: for me, and it's just really the start of everything.

59
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: Well, training camp is always fun for punters, but you

60
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: guys can just sit around the sung for like.

61
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Eight I walked in just now and I love into

62
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 2: the locker room, and of course I see the kicker,

63
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: you know, and the punter and the long snapper are

64
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: all laying on their little lounges in front of their

65
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: their lockers. I'm like, nothing's changed.

66
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: No one else is in there.

67
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: No, And I said, now, I said, I'm glad. I'm

68
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: glad that you guys are holding down the tradition of

69
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: being the specialist by laying down while everybody else is

70
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: in meetings learning football what they say we did. So

71
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm happy for that. But but you know,

72
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: I again, it's just great to.

73
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Be back, all right.

74
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think we've all boken on a show

75
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: since last season ended. So give me your Jeff Fiegels

76
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: kind of twenty thousand foot view of before we get

77
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: to the off season. Yea off season, even you're one

78
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: of Joe Shane and Brian Dable.

79
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 2: Well, I think that I think they both did very

80
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: well at executing a plan. I mean, they really came

81
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: in and understood or tried to understand the roster, get

82
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: it where they were. I think they overachieved a little

83
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 2: bit last year. I think a lot of people will

84
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: say that, but that's okay, that's that's that certainly just

85
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: goes to show you that not at all, you try

86
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: to overachieve in this business every week. And but I

87
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: thought they did a great job establishing the roster, learning

88
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: about the roster, and then of course winning some games

89
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. I think that was a lot

90
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: of I mean for a fan, good to see. And again,

91
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: I think just more changing the culture of the football team,

92
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: the building. I think all that happened and now look

93
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: what happened in year two. You don't have a home

94
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: football game or one o'clock home game football until one

95
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: until October. That means did you want some games last year?

96
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: So that's a good thing.

97
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: That's what it was in use to be with the

98
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Giants exactly.

99
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: Had we didn't have very many one o'clock games. They

100
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: were all the night games or four o'clock because when

101
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: you're good, you'd like to see and then and in

102
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: this market, you know how that works. Your thoughts on

103
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, Well, I think he going back to last year,

104
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: he proved that he could be, you know, a top

105
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league and certainly get a contract that

106
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: he wanted. You know, John, how hard it is to

107
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: find a quarterback in the National Football League. They try

108
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: every year.

109
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: We talked about on the show for a very long time.

110
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: They try every year and even to this day there's

111
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: every teams are trying to still find a good one.

112
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: But I think that Daniel proved that he could be

113
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: a leader. I think he proved that he could do

114
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: what the team wanted him to do, and that's like

115
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: hold on to the football. And I think year two

116
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: in this system I think is going to be really

117
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: well for him.

118
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: What's the next step for him in your opinion, for

119
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: him to kind of you know, go from the echelon

120
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: he's in to you know, jump up another tier or

121
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: so in the quarterback rankings.

122
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: To me, it would be you and I would be

123
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: able to say, you know, Daniel Jones won that game

124
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: on his shoulders. You know, I think that a lot

125
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: of times. I don't think we've done that. I mean,

126
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: other than that that game in Washington, the one he

127
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: won the game for them, but I need to I

128
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: haven't seen a lot of those. And I think that

129
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: that now. I think that's probably the next step. The

130
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: other thing is is just being there, score.

131
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: Thirty points and just you know, run the ball up

132
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: and down the field, do it.

133
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: And and and execute and again, continue to eliminate mistakes

134
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: as far as turning the football over because you can't

135
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: do it in the league. You know that, And so

136
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: I think that's a big part of it.

137
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: All right, sequon Barkley's back for another year. How much

138
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: is his presence going to help move this thing forward here?

139
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: And how important was it to get him back in

140
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: this building?

141
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: Well, I mean when you just if you read about

142
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: the team and you're not in the building, what I was,

143
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: what I was hearing and reading was that how much

144
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: he's respected in the locker room. And that is huge

145
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: because when Joe Shane came in here. One of his

146
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: jobs and Brian Dable was to reshape the roster and

147
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 2: get character and things like that and build that locker room.

148
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: So that's one thing. Number two is you can see

149
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: that how this offense works around certain players. I mean,

150
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: he catches the football on the backfield. I think he

151
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: got better at his blocking from the day one when

152
00:05:59,080 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: he's when he.

153
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: Stepped first, that best pass pro year of his career.

154
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: So I think with those in mind, and I think

155
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: that now he doesn't have to worry about a contract

156
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: this year. He's done. Uh you know, now next year,

157
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: whatever happens happened. So but I'm a big believer, and

158
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: I know that this has been talked about a lot

159
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: on talk radio and everything about the running back position

160
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: and what's happened to it. But I'm also a big

161
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: believer in centenizing players. Every position doesn't matter, if he's

162
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: just running back or anything. Prove it. I'll pay you.

163
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: If I was a GM, I would be doing it.

164
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: And and if you don't prove it, then if you

165
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: don't get paid and I get to save money, and

166
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: then you'll probably be gone next year. But that's the

167
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: pressures of playing the position and in the league.

168
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: All right, So now as we head into twenty twenty three,

169
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: here now, Jeff and Jeff with this gigantic water bottle.

170
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad.

171
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna leave it.

172
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm glad the tradition continues. You will leave something in

173
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: here by the way, it right here, John, Okay, Nope.

174
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: For everyone that doesn't get that joke, I I do

175
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: like to leave things around and by the way, they

176
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: stay for a long time.

177
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: He too. Yes, I've felt so full, and I think

178
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: that winter hat was in your place six months.

179
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: But I've said, look, I got all right here, so yeah.

180
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Very good.

181
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: We know the schedule is a lot tougher this year

182
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: than it was last year, right, so one of the

183
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: things the Giants need to be better at to maintain

184
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: that record from last year, even maybe even approve upon it.

185
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: I think that, and again I think that this is

186
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: what the coaching staff and Brian Dable will do, is

187
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: to manage expectations. And I think that you and I

188
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: know it's a cliche to take one game at a time,

189
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: but and I know that Brian Dabele from what I've

190
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: been reading, he tries to keep telling and deflecting the

191
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: questions that the media keeps asking him. You know, what

192
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: about last year? You did this? What about last year?

193
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Forget about last year? And you have to understand that

194
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: people are out to get you. You know, you won

195
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: nine games last year.

196
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: You weren't sneaking up in anybody now.

197
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: So I mean you now have to take them one

198
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: at a time and you're gonna and I think that

199
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: they'll do that, and I think that Brian will keep

200
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: them focused. And then the big thing is is that

201
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: it's helped this team is positioned, in my opinion, to

202
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: go somewhere as long as stays healthy. And that's what

203
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: every any team.

204
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: You're ready for a change. Pay Day comes early with citizens,

205
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: So go to that retreat. Knew you moves to the country.

206
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: Now you're raising goats and launching a lifestyle brand. Are

207
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: you ready for all that life breaks?

208
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: So I counted you played in the league for a

209
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: roughly a million and a half years almost so is

210
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: he right though? Because it's a cliche is every year

211
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: is new. Last year doesn't matter. I know how I

212
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: feel about it. I've stated it.

213
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: But from a god who has been in the league

214
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: for as long as you were, does every team really

215
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: have its own identity regardless of what happened the prior season.

216
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and but but remember this. You don't just

217
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: want to forget about what you built, of course, right,

218
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: And so there's reference points during the week and then

219
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: meetings and things like that to point out the good

220
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: and the bad and the ugly. But I think media

221
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: fans they always want to bring up what you did successfully.

222
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 2: That's okay, But as players in an organization, you move

223
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: on and you got to deal with a certain team.

224
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: And remember every team is different every year, and especially

225
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: this look at all the new receivers you got here.

226
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: You got a lot of new people, and so I

227
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: think that offensively you're gonna put in some more plays

228
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: that guys are gonna be able to understand to run

229
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: them better because last year it was so new to everybody.

230
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: Now and if you're one of those new guys, you

231
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: kind of got to catch up. Yeah, and it's hard.

232
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: And you know that I've told you this before and

233
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: some of our shows that we've always done that the

234
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: team will not wait for you there. This isn't like

235
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, after school you're gonna they're gonna go. And

236
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: the guys that that are gonna stay with the system,

237
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: they're gonna make the team and they're gonna play better.

238
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: But if you're if you're behind, you got to get

239
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: some help. And I think the veteran leadership kind of

240
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: helps those young guys because there's a lot of really

241
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: good looking young players on this team.

242
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned the wide receivers.

243
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: Are you excited about the additions made to the group

244
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: this year, whether it's free to see Paris Campbell to

245
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 3: draft Jalen Hyatt.

246
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: I think I think if there's one word you can

247
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: put in that position, and I'm hoping that it's durable,

248
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: but I think it's speed, and I think that you're

249
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of that in camp I know you have,

250
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: watching the practices and stuff. Just from what I've seen

251
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: and read and been reading about it, that seems to

252
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 2: be the one component of the offense that has been

253
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: missing that now they're excited about.

254
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: So you were here pounding the table relentlessly for six

255
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: months for the jarre four months.

256
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: So the Giants draft Kyle Pitts. Did they get the next.

257
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: Best thing in Darren Waller or did they get the better,

258
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: more mature version of Kyle Pitts and.

259
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: Darren Waller the latter, I think, I really do. I mean,

260
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: I I've always loved the tight end position, especially nowadays.

261
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: I think that you talk about a hybrid. But man,

262
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what a red zone threat. And the

263
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: guy is is just and you've seen it out here.

264
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: He's a freak, the guy. He's so big, he's agile,

265
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: he catches everything, he's tough. It's all about health for him.

266
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: If he stays healthy, then the sky's the limit for

267
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: him and Daniel Jones. And by the way, again, I'm

268
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: sure that everything that I'm reading about is Daniel Jones

269
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: is becoming very familiar with Darren Waller. I mean, why not, right, he's.

270
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: A big receiver, quarterback's best friend. Man.

271
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the check down to a guy that

272
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: can score from anywhere. Right, that's what it is.

273
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: Guy that's too big, too big for corners, too fast

274
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: for linebacker.

275
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: Physical, he'll run you over and by the way, he'll

276
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: he'll jump over you too.

277
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ran. I mean, he's uh.

278
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: You can ask anyone that's been watching practice. They've tried

279
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: to put slot corners on him. And it's not like

280
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: he's big boying them. He's running away from them. It's like,

281
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: and he shouldn't be able to move that way. You'll,

282
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not sure if you've stood next.

283
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: To him yet. No, he's freaking gigantic.

284
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: And the idea putting the idea of putting a slot

285
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: cornerback on him is not for him. It's for the

286
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: slot corner to see if you can play a guy

287
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: like that. That's that's that's what we call evaluation.

288
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: No question about it.

289
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: Two guys that you've seen grow here you've been hosting

290
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: shows since they got drafted, Andrew Thomas and Text Lawrence.

291
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: Both guys got rewarded with Monster contract. Monsters just you know,

292
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: talk about, you know, the progress you've seen from them,

293
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: what they did last year, and then just you know,

294
00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm really just proud of.

295
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: The guys from should you really should be? I'll start

296
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: with Deck's first. I think he probably had a little

297
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: more of an advantage than Andrew Thomas, because I don't

298
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: think that uh, the leadership and maybe the mentorship with

299
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: uh with Leo and you know, with that group where

300
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: the offensive lineman, there wasn't much there is from a

301
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: leadership standpoint, and somebody that's you know, been to the

302
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: pro Bowl and things like that. So I think Dex's

303
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: gotta he kind of grew up quicker because of that.

304
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: But I think Andrew Thomas he's a guy that he's

305
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: a consummate pro. He's always working on his craft. And

306
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 2: you know, remember that rookie year. The first half of

307
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: the season, everybody thought he was going to be a bust.

308
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: But we all said, listen, he's a first rounder. He's

309
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: a left tackle. For God's sake, Let's give him a

310
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: little bit of, you know, a little time to grow

311
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: into what he wants to be as a pro, and

312
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: he certainly has. Those are big milestones for guys like that,

313
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: and especially for this organization to draft guys like that

314
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: and then get him into that second contract. You hope

315
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 2: maybe next year with Saquon that could happen too. But

316
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is is both those guys

317
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: worked for it. They got it, and they they achieved it,

318
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: and they earned it.

319

324
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: who's the next group of guys that you think are

325
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: gonna be Andrew Thomas and Dexter Lawrence and maybe not

326
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: next offseason, but an offseason soon might be earning a

327
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: big contract down their own to kind of stay here.

328
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: Well, we forgot to mention Daniel Jones here.

329
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Well I'm here.

330
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: He got it, So I got it. You're gonna have

331
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: to refresh my memory a little bit about some of

332
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: the guys. But I think when.

333
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 3: McKinney, Thibodeau, Azizoji, oh sure, yeah, I thought any of

334
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 3: the receivers want to take a look at.

335
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: It, Well, I think McKenny to start there, that that

336
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: position is really hard to get a second contract, you

337
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 2: know that, because it's just they want a lot of

338
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: money and that position doesn't pay a lot of money.

339
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: So but so that's just an economic part of it.

340
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: I think he earns it. I mean he's a he's

341
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: a leader in the locker room, he's pretty healthy, you know.

342
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: From the wide receiver position. You got a bunch of

343
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: young guys there, So I mean that's just a matter

344
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: of time before it works itself out.

345
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: The edge guys.

346
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: Oj Lari, I think is a guy that I think

347
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: this is a big year for him. He needs to

348
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: show that he can stay healthy and stay on the field.

349
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: We know he can make sacks and make tackles, and

350
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's a good player. But as we

351
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: always say, you know, you can't make the club and

352
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: the tub, right, So, I mean a lot of these

353
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: guys have to understand that. And I believe that nobody

354
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: wants to get hurt, you know that, John. It's just

355
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: some guys are just better at it at not getting

356
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 2: hurt than others.

357
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: All Right, So we got joint practices coming up, Jets

358
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: a great preseason game. We'll going to Detroit flying out

359
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: on Monday with a couple of padded practice out there.

360
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: For a player, how do things change when all of

361
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: a sudden you're looking at somebody.

362
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: They don't have the ny.

363
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: They love it because it's you know, it's just how

364
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: many what today will be? What? Just like, are we

365
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: on like eight or nine nine practices? Okay, nine practices.

366
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: It's you're tired of seeing each other, and uh, you

367
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: want a little bit of a change in the routine.

368
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: And I know that going on the road to play

369
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: a game as the change of routine. But you guys

370
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: are going to be there for a week. You're going

371
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Monday and you play Friday. So that is a lot

372
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: of fun for the guys, and again you get to

373
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: beat up on the guy across from you. But from

374
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: a teaching standpoint and from an evaluation, I think it's

375
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: the I love them. When we did them, they didn't

376
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: work because there was always fights and it was just ridiculous.

377
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: Uh well, I mean we just there was when I

378
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: was with the Eagles and Buddy Ryan, Oh gosh, I

379
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: mean we flew we flew down to make in Georgia.

380
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Other people each other.

381
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: No, they were fighting, we were playing. We were scrimmaging

382
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: the Falcons with Jerry Glanville of all people. I don't

383
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: even think we made it off the plane and we

384
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: started fine, but I know that we I know we

385
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: did one nine on seven and that was pretty much it.

386
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: We got back on the plane and gone. It was

387
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: a stupid trip.

388
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Was your defense that the.

389
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: Joiner Jerome Brown, you know all those guys. Yeah so,

390
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: but nowadays I think, well, and then again when we started,

391
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: when I first came here with with the Giants, we

392
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: would always we were scrimmaging the Jets and that's when

393
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: Rex Ryan, Buddy Ryan, Rex Ryan. It's synonymous with fights, right, uh,

394
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: and it just never so I think that kind of

395
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 2: cooled off for a while.

396
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: But I think Medwards too, right, wasn't there her Edwards

397
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: team that came in here and there was a fight.

398
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: To yes, right, yes, yeah, yeah. But the thing is

399
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: is that I think nowadays it's it's kind of understood

400
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: both teams. Let's just try to get something out of this,

401
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: you know, and and there there's there's fights. It's it's

402
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: always the fights are always the big guys, the big

403
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: fat guys. They're just they're hot, they have a short temper,

404
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: they're hungry, and this is what you know. I don't

405
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: know about you, but when I'm hungry, I want to

406
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: fight too. I mean, I'll find Anybody'm just starving. Let's go.

407
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: You know, those guys got to eat, so but you

408
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: want to get a lot done. I'm a big fan

409
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: of them. I liked I like the team going on

410
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: the road and focusing and kind of coming together as

411
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: it'll be good. I think they do a lot for

412
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: the team.

413
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: All right, Before we jump into a couple of other things,

414
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: give me your rundown on the giants specialist kind of

415
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: where they're at.

416
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what do you think of the group?

417
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 2: Well, I think I'm a big fan of veterans at

418
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: that position. You got all three of them there with

419
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: Graham and Casey and you know, I mean, excuse me

420
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: there in the Scottish Hammer with Jamie. So I think

421
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: the other two guys, I'm not worried about them. I'm

422
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: not saying that I'm worried about Jamie. I think he

423
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: has I think he has so much potential.

424
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: John Well, Jamie hasn't done it as long as you have, guy.

425
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so he but I think I actually actually

426
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: got him and his wife an apartment and premise, so

427
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: I got to know him a little bit this year.

428
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about the game, about the position

429
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: and so you know, more of the directional kicking, and

430
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: he's so good at that Aussie kick that end over

431
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: in and he's going to be working the sidelines a

432
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: little bit more with that punt because he can do it.

433
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: It's natural to him. It's so natural. And I just

434
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: told him one time and like, listen, that's your best kick.

435
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: Use it. And so I'm really happy to see the

436
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 2: progress that he's made over the offseason, and I'm excited

437
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: to see how he does this year. He's he's found

438
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: a place where mcgae. He lets him do what he

439
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: wants to do. He doesn't have a lot of restrictions,

440
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: and a lot of coaches put restrictions on players and

441
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: it kind of gets in their head. I think Jamie

442
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: coming from a bad situation in Cleveland, and I think

443
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: it's really going to help him really do a nice

444
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: job this year.

445
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: I we're seeing all the Hall of Fame in saus today, Jeff.

446
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: These are mostly guys that you played with.

447
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot of them in the two thousands.

448
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: What is it like Wagi got Ronnie Barber, de Marcus,

449
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 3: Where's Row Reeves? Just kind of seeing all these guys

450
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: get in that that you played against in some of

451
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: these guys.

452
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 2: With well, I remember just being in the league with

453
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: all these guys and watching him perform. I mean every

454
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: year they were perennial All pros and you know, guys

455
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 2: going to the Pro Bowl, and but I think, you know,

456
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: the the one characteristic to all these guys, and I

457
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: love the stories. By the way, these are of all

458
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: the things I forget the game, I could care less

459
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: about the game that these are the best things you

460
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: could you can listen to, because they's just every one

461
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: of them. And I didn't get a chance. I'm going

462
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't know what Occos is in their

463
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: lineup here if he he won, like two players, Okay,

464
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch it, yeah, because I feel like that's

465
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: the one I want to hear. But it's just it's

554
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: gartreel Johnson. What does that sound like? I'm gonna say

555
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: he was a tight end.

556
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: He was a running back.

557
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: Jeff Lewis offensive.

558
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: Smoke up one nothing? All right, here we go play

559

00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: So there wasn't a tight end on the two thousand

566
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: and two Seattle Seahawks named Brian Hannam.

567

00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 2: defensive back.

627
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,679

Speaker 3: So I'll give this one to you.

642
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 2: Next.

643
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: Did you play with Kit Trick Taylor?

644
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,919

647
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you got to get two more right, physician and.

648
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: Team Taylor, he's got to be a defensive guy with

649
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: that name.

650
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: You are not correct. I am killing you today. This

651
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: is fantastic.

652
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: Where did you You had too much time to do

653
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: this that? Because normally this is like John would just be, oh, yeah,

654
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna play the game. Then he'll just pick a

655
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: couple of Yeah, he has done his homework.

656
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: We do wait around fifteen twenty minutes from Matt Show

657
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: for media availabilities. You know what I was doing, well,

658
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: that was going on hut Like Taylor played wide receiver

659
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: for the Patriots in nineteen eighty nine. Oh yeah, she

660
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: had like a seven year career, played like one hundred

661
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: and twenty NFL games. That's why I thought you would

662
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: be able to get.

663
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: Him thirty four years ago. He's picking guys.

664
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: I picked one guy from each team.

665
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: Now the last guy, which is now a dupal kip,

666
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: because I've now picked one guy from every roster, so

667
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: this is.

668
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: Not the last one.

669
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: All right, Did you play with Aaron Rouse?

670
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: No? No, I have no idea who Aaron Row is.

671
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 2: Is he a baseball player?

672
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: No?

673
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: He was a safety for the Giants of two thousand

674
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: and died for like more than half the year. Geez, Jeff, Well.

675
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 2: First of all, I retired. I retired. I retired at nine,

676
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: So I maybe was worried more about that than getting

677
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: the rosters names. Right.

678
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, so you tell me in your last

679
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: year you were bellied in and you.

680
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I was.

681
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: I was.

682
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 2: That is a painful game, by the way, I pleust

683
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: tell you. It's a lot of enjoyment for him, but

684
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: not for me.

685
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: Did usually.

686
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: Was while Yeah, I murdered. Yeah, I think you know what. Yeah,

687
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: I mean I used to. But I used to go

688
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: over the rosters a little bit back in the day.

689
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: So you got every single one wrong except for Josh Hart,

690
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: who's not an NFL player.

691
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: It's hard when you think about the roster. Like early

692
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: on in my career, remember there was one hundred and

693
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: twenty guys in the roster. There was no you know,

694
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: ninety guys in camp. That's another thirty guys. I mean,

695
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: that's a lot camp guys.

696
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: So I picked guys that made the fifty.

697
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: Three that would have been important.

698
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: How many guys are on the roster in your day?

699
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: Well, Like, it's funny because I think I remember I

700
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: will remember my The guys I remember the most are

701
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: the guys earlier in my career. For some reason, I

702
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: kind of remember a little bit more. Maybe it was

703
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: just they meant more to me then. I don't know.

704
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: I don't know, but this has been fun.

705
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 3: My theory would be it's before you had kids and

706
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 3: once you have some mind. Just yeah, yeah, someone, I

707
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: don't remember anything anymore. I still remember everything.

708
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Well, you have multiple kids, you know, left side, right side,

709
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: and they're both gone.

710
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: Give me your Super Bowl prediction, Jeff.

711
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one. I think Cincinnati is going

712
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 2: to do it this year.

713
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Okay, little Luana Romeo, I like it.

714
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be amazing.

715
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Who are they going to be?

716
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: NFC? I hate to say it, Eagles. I mean they're

717
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: they're they're they're strong. They just but you know what,

718
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: anything can happen. Yeah. I like those I like that matchup.

719
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I can handle the Eagles

720
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: getting back to the Super Bowl because of the fans.

721
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: They're just and all the people my neighbors, the people

722
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: are Eagles fans, and I know, I just can't take

723
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: it anymore. I had to literally yell at a guy

724
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: at a golf tournament about a month ago because he

725
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: was an Eagles fan and he said, you used to

726
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: be with the Eagles and I'm like yes, and he's like,

727
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: how about those Eagles this and then and like and

728
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, he just out of nowhere

729
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: started talking about Jalen how bad he is. I'm like, Hiatt,

730
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: j Hurts, Jalen Hurts. I'm like, what are you doing.

731
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: I go, you are that, you are the this is

732
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: why people hate Eagle fans. You go to the super Bowl.

733
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: The guy gets a huge contract, he goes, yeah, he

734
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: doesn't deserve in all that. I'm like, this is the

735
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: Eagle fans for you. Seriously, they just cannot They just

736
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: can't handle success. I mean, come on, so anyways, but

737
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: it doesn't make me. It doesn't make me happy sending

738
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: them to the super Bowl, but it does make me happy.

739
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: Talking about do the.

740
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Giants make the playoffs?

741
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, no, Wow, Okay, yeah, I think I

742
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: just I just I hope so.

743
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: And that means, do you think their record is going

744
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: to be in the same neighborhood I do.

745
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 2: I just think. I just think that the division has

746
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: gotten better, you know, And and maybe the Cowboys one

747
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: day will wake up and actually realize that they are

748
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 2: pretty good football team, I think, and just play well.

749
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they've won twelve games too straight yas.

750
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm saying, they just kind of just got to figure

751
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 2: it out. So but this division from two a couple

752
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: of years ago, which was the NFC least we call

753
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: them right now, they are really good and I think

754
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: it's going to be you know, and so but I

755
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: will tell you the NFC.

756
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, and you can think the Giants

757
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: are better.

758
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: I do think they're better. I'm saying no, I'm not

759
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: saying that they're going. And again I think that this

760
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: is this is where coaching and veterans come in to play,

761
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: because you know, you know, you've been around long enough

762
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: to know now when there's been hype in this building

763
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: about the team and people hyping the hyping and hype

764
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: and hype, the Giants have always played better without the

765
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: without the high erect. So I just but but again,

766
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: this is new. We have a new general manager, Giants

767
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: have a new head coach, and they're going so things

768
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: could change and I'm hoping. You know, I'm a huge

769
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: Giants fans, but I'm just, you know, trying to be real.

770
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: But I think they're gonna play good. I think they're

771
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: gonna win just as many games, but I think it

772
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: just might be harder to get there.

773
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: Jeff, this is awesome.

774
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,520
