Metal and Burke alongside the Super Bowl 13 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: champion Howard Cross the Giants home opener on Sunday Night 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: Football with the final score of twenty two to nine 15 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 3: in favor of the visiting Kansas City Chiefs. 16 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: Howard, when you take a look at how this one ended, 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: what are your what are your thoughts on this game? 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: They got to find a way to play better inside 19 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: offensively to help keep the run game going. Once you 20 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: get and the run game keeps going, then the passing 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: game kind of picks up because you can't you can't 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: throw the ball if you know they're laying back because 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: they're not afraid of you. Running the ball. You got 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: to put some pressure on them on the ground just 25 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: a little bit. 26 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 3: I don't know how that opening drive the Giants opening 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 3: drive offensively, they were establishing the run. They got the 28 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 3: run game going quite a bit. They were moving the 29 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: ball down the field. Unfortunately, Graham Gonau injured his growing 30 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 3: pregame was not available in the first half of the game. 31 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: He did later warm up in halftime and was able 32 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: to come on and kind of grim is through a 33 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: field goal in the second half, but in the first 34 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: half not having him available affected as Brian Dable later 35 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 3: admitted his play calling because or you know, the coaching 36 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 3: staff's play calling because of the fact that they're at 37 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: fourth and three on the twenty eight, where they would 38 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: normally settle for a chip shot field goal, had to 39 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: go forward on fourth down. The ball's tipped as a 40 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: turnover on downs and when you have a drive like 41 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: that to open it up offensively, Howard and you're not 42 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: able to come up with points after that, how deflating 43 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: is it? 44 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: It's more than deflating, I mean, and good even said 45 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: he kind of have a strong a team, no pond 46 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: and intended because you go out you know what's going 47 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: to happen. You got your predictions in your calling plays 48 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: for a certain thing, meaning that okay, we'll throw it 49 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: here to get this far. Then you start thinking how 50 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: close we need to be a kick if our kicker 51 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: isn't here, how close we need to try to get 52 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 2: it down further. And you get out of the rhythm 53 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: of your plays. You get out of the rhythm of 54 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: of what you've studied, You get out of the rhythm 55 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: of your plan. Your plan was to play, you know, 56 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: a certain style, and you have to let it go. So, yeah, 57 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: it's deflating for the players and everything, but it's more 58 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: deflating that they didn't have the one player available that's 59 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: neither an offensive or a defensive player. 60 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: He's you know, a kicker, right, Graham going to not 61 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: be available definitely hamstrung the team, as he later admitted 62 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: in posting media availabilities. Another a player who wasn't really 63 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: involved until the fourth quarter. Elak Neighbors didn't have his 64 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: first catch until the fourth quarter. Giants really struggled to 65 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: get him involved in the passing game. You saw him 66 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 3: a lot in the slot. They weren't able to get 67 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: the ball to him, and at times when Russell Wilson 68 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 3: went deep. It almost felt like he was pushing it 69 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: came up with an interception. 70 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: One of those instances I think, you know, I. 71 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: Like Neighbors as a receiver. I think he's going to 72 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: be a pretty good player for a long time. But 73 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: I think that Russell needs to focus on all the 74 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: other receivers. And I think that not just one day, 75 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: but just like literally all the other receivers and the 76 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: tight ends and start spreading the ball around because basically, 77 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: what's happening if you focus on one guy, if he'sure 78 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: a quote unquote alpha great, you know X receiver, wide receiver, 79 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: he's the guy, then the other team can focus on 80 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: him and they can double him, they can roll coverage 81 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: towards them, they can play him over and they can 82 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: play him over and under. They can do a lot 83 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: of different things show him to try to make it 84 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: harder for you to throw the ball to him because 85 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 2: the windows are tighter. And that's what we're seeing. We're 86 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: seeing Russell going back and turning to his side, and 87 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: then that's society he wants to go to. And then 88 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: by the time he works his way back, you know, 89 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: see to throw it along and hope that he'll fight 90 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: for it or you know, you're gonna get sacked and 91 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: it's it's gonna he's gonna have to. And it's not 92 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 2: that he doesn't know to all the other receivers. I 93 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: just think that the over hyper focusedness on trying to 94 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: get him the ball is the thing that's going to 95 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: be It's gonna be interesting to see how it's going 96 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: to pan out. You know, slat and good receiver. That 97 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: one Dell is good to receive it. Hi Hyatt probably 98 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: is a good he just could you just never know. 99 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: So uh you got you get the kids from Notre Dame. 100 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: That's probably gonna be gonna get more, more, more shots 101 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: at it. But it's hard to focus when the hyper 102 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: hyper awareness is mostly on neighbors, and that brings all 103 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: the attention to all eyes turned towards neighbors. You know. 104 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: I think Skataboo has maybe changed some of that narrative. 105 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: Get in here, if you're lined up here, you've got 106 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: to go over the middle with at the score right. 107 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: How do we make that happen? I don't know, but 108 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: citizen does It makes sense if your honey with citizens 109 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: official Bank of Eli manning. 110 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: Well to your point, I mean you mentioned a lot 111 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: of talented receivers as a possibility with Cam Scataboo led 112 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: the Giants in receptions and in rushing yards. He had 113 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: sixty rushing yards on ten attempts and sixty one receiving 114 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: yards on six receptions. It seemed like he kind of 115 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 3: proved himself to be a you know, almost security blanket, 116 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: a safe pick, or somebody that Russell Wilson was able 117 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: to depend on, especially later in the game. 118 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: I think he does a good job being a receiver. 119 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think people realize how good of 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: a receiver he is. So that's one thing that kind 121 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: of surprives I think it's surprised that the guys they 122 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: were like interesting. And when he catches the ball and 123 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: he's running, he's running like the you know, he's trying 124 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: to run over you. He's not looking to avoid contact, 125 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: he's looking to initiate contact. And it went from trying 126 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: to hit him around the shoulders too. We got to 127 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: start diving to his ankles, and you saw guys going 128 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: lower and lower, which is funny because he's a short 129 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: guy to begin with, so if you don't get down 130 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: low enough, he runs over you. Anyway. 131 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they always say old man wins, and Cam's got 132 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: that in the bag already. And he does, like you said, 133 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: not a verse, not contact averse, but he will run 134 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: through you rather than around you. It's a lot of 135 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: fun watching him play, and it's great to see him 136 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: get his second career touchdown already three games into his 137 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: young NFL career as rookie season. Defensively, the Giants, you know, 138 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes obviously very elusive quarterback. The Chiefs a team 139 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: that went to the Super Bowl last season, and yes 140 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: they came into Week three Sunday Night Football at zero 141 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: to two and had had their struggles, but this is 142 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 3: a team that knows how to win. We saw the defense, 143 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 3: you know, getting some pressure on Patrick Mahomes. Abdul Carter 144 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: got a sack. We saw Kevon Thibodau getting some quarterback hits. 145 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: But there were also some moments where it felt like 146 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: a missed opportunity. Late in the second quarter, you know, 147 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: the Giants get pressure on Mahomes, they get a sack, 148 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: force of fumble Bobby Ocaraca, Mahomes are trying to get 149 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: the ball. Patrick Mahomes comes up with it and it 150 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: could have been a very different scenario had the Giants 151 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: come up with that ball in the five, punched it 152 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: in get a score before the half. Instead, the Chiefs 153 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 3: are able to continue that drive, push the ball down 154 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: the field, end up later in the drive getting a 155 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: fifty two yard pass interference. Defensive pass interference play called 156 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: and it lines up a twenty eight yard field goal 157 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: for Harrison Butker. So the Chiefs go into halftime up 158 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: nine to six. But when you look at those miscues 159 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: in those moments where almost for the Giants, what do 160 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: you what do you read into that? 161 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: I think the first the first one was more based 162 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: on officiating than anything else, because after they he did 163 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: that earlier in the game, threw the ball backwards and 164 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, and no one really picked it up. He 165 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,559 Speaker 2: threw it to Tyre and they picked up the ball. 166 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: The guy gets mad, he throws the ball on the 167 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: ground because as a wasted play, not realizing that he 168 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: has caught a you know, a pitch, not a pass, 169 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: caught it pitch and now he's thrown his pitch forward 170 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: into the dirt and there's no receivers around. So then 171 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 2: theory the call would have been a fumble fumble recovery 172 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 2: and illegal four pass or not illegal for a pass 173 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: or intentional grounding, and that would have been a call, 174 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: but the official was just like, oh, we blew the whistle. 175 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: It's over. So you go back to the next time 176 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: that Patrick Turndranlan does it. You know, they're kind of 177 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: going forward because they don't really know what the call is. 178 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: So if the call was correct the first time and 179 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: put more intersts on it, the guys have been like, Okay, 180 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: we gotta given the ball. And I'm pretty sure on 181 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: the sideline the coaches were saying, you got to get 182 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: on that ball. That is a bad play by the 183 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: Giants for trying to pick it up. Get on it, 184 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: covered quickly. Because you covered, you're probably inside the fifteen 185 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 2: or on the ten. Got have been a big deal, friends, 186 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: and we could have made a kick from that distance, 187 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: even would moved our kicker out. The other thing was 188 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: we had a drop intercept, had two dropped interceptions, maybe three, 189 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: you got to I mean, if there's fighting for the ball, 190 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: hand fighting, I understand it. But if it's hit you 191 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: dead in your hands. And it's the guy they brought 192 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 2: in four interceptions and I feel bad for him because 193 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: I don't want to call him out, but he's got 194 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: to make those plays. Those are game changing plays that 195 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: stops Kansas City's drives and gets the ball back into 196 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: the Giant's hands. 197 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and perhaps one of the biggest stats that stands 198 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: out is because neither one of these teams were playing 199 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: their best on Sunday night football. The Chiefs had their 200 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: struggles and the Chiefs were clumsy too. At one point 201 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 3: they had five straight penalties and they had you know, 202 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: finished the game with eight penalties for eighty five yards. 203 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: You know, the Chiefs weren't clean either, but the biggest 204 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 3: differentiating factors third down. The Giants were just one of 205 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: ten on third down. How do you clean that up? 206 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: And how do you finish those third downs and convert 207 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: those well? 208 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: First hif Patrick is amazing at that because he's not 209 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: scrambling every play, but he's moving just enough to get 210 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 2: somebody open. If he can stay alive for three to 211 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: four seconds, you can't cover a receiver for that long. 212 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 2: And that's why their third downs are more effect If 213 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: we are in a position right now where we're a 214 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: little panic because we've taken a couple of hits and 215 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: then you know it throws us off the rhythm, and 216 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: we're searching for one guy. And when we're doing that, 217 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: whether it's whether it's Robinson, whether it's whether it's the neighbors, 218 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: it could be, it could be scatterable. You're searching for 219 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: that one guy, then you're starting to like let other 220 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: parts of the route fade away that may be coming open. 221 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 2: And the other thing is we don't have four seconds. 222 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: We got two and a half maybe, and we kind 223 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: of that's why we when we look in the direction 224 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: we want to get the ball out. How they're going 225 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: to fix it, I don't know. I mean they could. 226 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: I would say you could chip, you could do a 227 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: bunch of other different things. But a lot of times 228 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 2: that pressure comes from the inside first, and then you 229 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: run into the defensive vends as they're coming on the edges. 230 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: Even the night, there weren't a lot of crazy blitz is. 231 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 2: It was just the door, the four down guys getting 232 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 2: there from time to time. 233 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 1: If you want to know how to manage two minutes 234 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: of crunch time football on your matt But if you're 235 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: wondering about a long term financial plan, you should talk 236 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: to citizens. Hey, I can also talk lawn care I'd 237 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: like to learn about anier routine. Yes, I knew I 238 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: could help makes sense of your money with CIT. 239 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 3: Since Yeah, a tough loss for the Giants on Sunday 240 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 3: Night Football twenty two to nine is a final. The 241 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: Chiefs get their first win in the season. The Giants 242 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: fall to zero and three, and Week four doesn't get 243 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: much easier. You've got the Los Angeles Chargers coming to 244 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: MetLife Stadium a one o'clock kickoff Sunday, September twenty eighth. 245 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: The Chargers are a team with a dynamic offense. You 246 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: know they got to win over the Broncos on Sunday 247 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: in Week three. They're three and oh this season. Jim Harbaugh, 248 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 3: we know loves to run the ball. And yes, Naji 249 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: Harris suffered a season ending Achilles injury on Sunday. But 250 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: Omario on Hampton, the rookie running back out of North Carolina, 251 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: stepped right up and filled that gap and run defense 252 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 3: has been a struggle for this Giants team at times. 253 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: How do you approach Week four against this Chargers team? 254 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: For this Giants team, well, well, they have to do 255 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: with defensively, they have to like first Dexter, who has 256 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: to get himself, you know, as healthy and as you know, 257 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: cardiovascually and everything as he possible can. I mean you 258 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 2: think he's growing with his hard I mean, he's just 259 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: like he's tired. He didn't get a lot of reps 260 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: in pre season, so he's battling through that. Now he 261 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: needs to be the man in the middle. He will 262 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: change a lot of what's happened on the defense. Burns 263 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: is playing great, Tibdoll's playing really playing really well. Carters 264 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 2: is starting to round into his own. Bobby Kaeroke is 265 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: playing great. You know, so when you got that many 266 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: guys with your defense kind of stepping up, it's going 267 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 2: to be okay, how they're going to stop it. It's 268 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: got to be you know, set the pick of fence, 269 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: have everybody fill the gap and get pressure up the field. 270 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: And you can't just like you know, get you can't 271 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: get blocked, single, double, whatever. You just got to keep 272 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: fighting up field. 273 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: And one of the points Brian Able made after this 274 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: loss on Sunday nd Football is, hey, you know you 275 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: got to get points on the board as well. You know, 276 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: when you settle for nine points a touchdown and a 277 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: missed pah and a field goal, that's not going to 278 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 3: get you too far. How does this Giants team kind 279 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: of reignite the offensive explosion that we saw in week two? 280 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: I think you know, first off, Dallas has a really 281 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: poor defense. I don't want to beat on them what 282 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: they do. I can't see there's a much better defense. 283 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 2: But if you want to get it done, all players 284 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: that are you know, supposed to be active have to 285 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: be active. Kicker has to reactive. The defense that's being 286 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: played against you's gonna played differently. If they know that 287 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: you have an opportunity to kick a fifty yard field 288 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: goal or whatever, they're going to put pressure in which 289 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: will bring somebody else open to get you farther down 290 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 2: the field until you get down where you can score. 291 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: That doesn't really the numbers don't number as well when 292 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: you get inside the red zone. But to get to 293 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: the red zone, you need everybody on the hand. You 294 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 2: need other threats so that hey, they're playing for a 295 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 2: field goal, we need to get up and start, you know, 296 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: try to push them back, push them back. Balls dump 297 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you dump that ball to scatterble, 298 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: you dump the ball of option, or you hit neighbors 299 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: because now he's a one on one because a guy 300 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: on the outside has to play impressed because he thinks 301 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: they're going to try to They're just trying to get 302 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: in the field goal range, and that's when you take 303 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: your shots. 304 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Shots.
