I actually want to go 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.600 see him, and he's gone and it set up. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.200 Listen, I'll be in there like mama and then like 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.639 somebody grandma. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.400 Listen to mob and game player. I'm vegetables love and 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:47.440 listen to mobbing day. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.960 There's there's a thing right about vegetables and music. They 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:51.920 like certain times of music. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.040 Vegetables and animals were go. Cows listen to music daily. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.160 Drink a lot of beer too. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.440 Yeah, they do drink beer to keep keep that all 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:01.040 the bacteria. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.839 And I heard something about it, and I'm not sure 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.799 this got anything to do with you know what we're 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:10.920 talking about. But seriously, I heard something about water. Scientists 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:16.760 got water and basically, you know, put in a negative environment, 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.560 blasted some negative you know music, music and voiceovers and 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.400 frozen and said you can see the water. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.200 Look it froze different that they did it. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:32.320 What they did the same water with positive surrounding, spoke positive. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.240 Stuff in the air and it was crystal. It was 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.880 like clear water, icicles and stuff. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.320 I'm saying, it's emotional water out there. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.560 I'm telling you that they say that we can shape 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.360 stuff off of motions, off energy. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.560 Yeah, so I believe that. Like I say, I don't 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:48.840 know this. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:49.560 I heard it. 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.680 For me to tell you about it, For me to 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.120 tell you about it, that means I heard it. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.520 So what I know, I'm going to be a nerd. 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.080 I'm gonna push my glasses up my nose here. I 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.280 think this might be spuriously correlated to some other factors. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.400 Because water has no perception of emotions, it looks like 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.160 it's just noise to water. But okay, that's the whole 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.840 time out. But music is operates at a certain wavelength, right, 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.280 is a wavelength, and so the water doesn't it's going 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.719 to perceive the wavelength. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.320 That don't shoot the. 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.799 Water don't shoot the message. Yeah, energy is organized chaos. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.080 Okay, A couple of fans listening and going to say, yes, 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:32.080 I saw the same thing. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.320 I saw it on Instagram. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.320 So yeah, if you, if you, if you heard this, 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.080 leave a comment. If you're a scientist, also leave a comment. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:44.919 Angry Water, if you ran this experiment, leave a comment. 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.479 Maybe calling the show. We got a special guest. Our 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.800 first special guest is about Angry Water. Right, But let's 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.400 get back into what we're good at talking about, which 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.680 is Fred's farming, but also football, right, Yeah, and this 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.120 week we're going to do a deep dive on the 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.800 NFC East, just kind of talk about like where the 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.360 visions at, what each team's doing, and then maybe like 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.480 a bigger, high level picture for the division. All right, 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.720 so let's just start with I don't know what do 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.679 you start with? The Eagles? Guess cause there were a super. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.160 An the crop last year. But let's be honest, the 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.680 NFC shocked everybody last year. We was almost the first 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.600 division to have four teams to make it to the playoffs. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.960 So everybody, and how so soon do they forget? Because 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.800 now all of a sudden, we six months removed and 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.920 everybody saying that the AFC East is going to be 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:30.520 the square. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.240 I think is uh, who's a Brown's Ravens Bengals. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.400 They're gonna be the squad this year. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:36.480 No, they're saying distance. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.799 Oh interesting, jackson Ville, not not Jacksonville, but that division 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.920 that everybody's hyping up. And now just about the fact 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.480 that Dallas is stacked, Philly is restacked. The Giants I 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.720 think might take a step back. And I thought we 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.000 got better in the off season. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.000 Yeah, but I mean Philadelphia like that was maybe the 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.480 best roster in football last year. Everyone says, oh man, 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.359 they do. Their offense is so crisp and so simple. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.680 It's one of the things you can do when you've 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.840 got a really good football team is run a Chris 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.640 simple offense. Are they able to get back? They lost 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.240 their left guard, Isaac Suppogo. I forget it's probably yeah, 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.560 butchered as well. He's he's in Detroit now. They got 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.679 to replace that guy that drafted Tyler Steen from Alabama 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.400 in the first round. Yeah, and then they got you know, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:24.120 the linebacker's gone, Nakobe Dean's back defensive lineman. They kind 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.240 of have our re stocking, but with some people and 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.000 pieces that are a little unknown. And our producer brought 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.479 this up, and I think this is a really good point. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.160 Jason shout out new dad, what's up? Yeah, Yeah, he 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.040 had yeah something weeks. He looks good though. 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:37.800 Yeah. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.520 But I will say that it's really hard for teams 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.120 to repeat his Super Bowl Champs unless you got an 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.640 elite quarterback. And is Jalen Hurts an elite quarterback? When Champs, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:48.919 they was running and runners up? 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:49.240 Sorry? 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.520 And is it can they get back to that same 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.680 level or is there going to be a regression? And 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:55.599 is there going to be a regression? Let's just start 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.680 there with I think that's a great question. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.160 But I think one of the things that stands out 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.520 the most that we haven't talked, but it's just a 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.000 lot of those coaches that have departed. You know, Yeah, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.000 the players play the game, but trust me, we know 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.600 throughout the week's preparation is key. And if you have 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.640 a new guy, a new instructor that's teaching you something. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.400 He might not be you know, comfortable with coaching real. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.760 So I played on plenty of teams where we had 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.840 the players and we just wasn't giving right right bingo. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:23.440 So that's my question. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.480 I think when it comes down to what they have, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.000 they restock the d line. They got so many guys 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.640 from Georgia that we don't know what they're trying to 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.440 do over there. And then offensively, man, they still they 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.560 still poping. You know, they have three of the best 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.440 or two of the best receivers in the game in 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.080 our division. They have a quarterback to me that easily 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.800 could be what top five right now, easily top five. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.000 About right now, he could be top five. But they 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.000 got a legit top five tight end. They got DeAndre 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.360 god Or just considered top five right now. I'm telling 0:07:54.360 --> 0:08:00.640 you what I say. You got Swill at the running 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.840 back position. I think they just signed Males Jack and 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.600 they just signed another linebacker, so they understand where their 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.640 roster at and they're at that bubble. So yeah, they're 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.960 ready to buffs. They're all right, they got one of 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.160 those teams now. Talent just brought it up. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.440 Coaching. Sarahani is mostly known for his defense, right is it? 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:20.000 Yes? 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.640 Nick Sirianni is known for his defense. Right am I 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:23.200 right or wrong? 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:24.880 But at the end of the day, you lost your 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.800 defensive coordinator like this who had the personal relationship with 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.000 the defense you lost your offensive coordinator, you lost your identity. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.520 I know somebody else is gonna try to call something 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.640 very similar, but at the end of the day, if 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.040 it ain't Payton, Manning and somebody else that already runs 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.720 there on offense, you're gonna have a new identity. 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.600 That's interesting because I actually think they're getting a new 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.880 defensive coordinator might be better for their defense because their 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.600 defense was so vanilla last year, very soft cover three, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.080 soft cover six right, and like lots of underneath throws. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:55.920 So what happens when you get a little bit more aggressive. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.319 We talk about being more aggressive with our guys, and 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.800 like watching training camp practice and seeing those guys be 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.240 way way more aggressive, and how that affects the pass rush. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.280 He's got a pretty god pass rush over there, pretty 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.800 good d line rotation. So does that make them better? 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.079 It doesn't make them worse. We don't know. We're not 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.040 out of practice for them. But the thing that gets 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.480 me is the big question mark is the offense, because 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.640 that's so much of that, insulating the quarterback, understanding what 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.800 he does well, understanding what your personnel can do, and 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.319 having a flow. Yes, I've never seen I've never seen 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.880 a new offensive coordinator come in and run the offense 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:27.719 better than the old guy. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:32.560 And to the offensive guys that they're already credit they 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.079 might not have to act of that new court in 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:36.439 to do much, you know what I mean. Let the 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.480 guys run, you know, let these guys run the yard. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.160 I think when you look at Jalen Hurts, who expected 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.320 him to look like he looked last year? And already 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.880 we're hearing in camp he's just being looking phenomenal. And 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.560 you know, we're talking about the top one hundred guys 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.280 just a couple of weeks ago and we just found 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.120 out that, you know, the the guy you know, we 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.000 know who eat Patty Old Paddy, he's. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:57.559 Number one overall. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.040 But his own teammate said that Jalen Hurts, I'll played 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.480 him and he said he never saw super Bowl play 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.719 at that level. So Jalen Hurts to me, made that 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:09.959 team look like they looked last year. I think that 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:11.839 defense have always been known to be one of those 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.880 defenses that come up there and play weekend and week out, 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.439 year in and year out. But having that quarterback position, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.720 you know, you know, play it dominant as Jaden Hurst 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.160 played last year. I think that's the reason why Philadelphia 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.280 stood out, and to me, I think that's what's going 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.120 to have to go forward. They're going to be the 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:30.760 team that had to be on Joen Hurston. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.560 And had a hint of unfinished business. Like it don't 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.320 feel like a hangover far just losing the Super Bowl 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.959 with them. I feel more honger because I was, you know, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.079 I like to spou on him. I was firing on 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.800 him two days ago. And they say, right now, Jayden 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.079 Carter is giving Jason Kelsey everything he can, and that 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:56.440 tells me everything's been center in football. They say, Jason Carr, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.320 I mean Jalen Carter is picking him up, moving him 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.640 to different parts. So at the end of the day, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:09.000 don't forget they still got Jordan Davis, Brandon Graham like, so, Dan, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.040 you got to Fletcher Coxes your third detach. They add 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.959 a very dangerous and deep team. Everybody's trying to for 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.679 some reason, and they do this every off season, try 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.320 to throw the Cowboys in the upper excellent. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.360 Yeah, I don't know, doesn't doesn't feel like that roster 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.360 the Cowboy When you look at Philly's roster top to bottom, 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.920 it's just there's not a lot of weaknesses. They re 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.839 signed Darius Slay. They get all those pieces back in 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.600 the secondary. They do a good job drafting young players 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.599 for those safety spots to kind of fill in linebackers. 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.040 I think question mark there with the Kobe Dean, right, 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.800 like what's he going to be because like I was 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.480 not super high on him coming out of college, but again, 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.000 like maybe he's the guy. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.920 But keeping them the tackles, keeping people out for him 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.800 so he can run sideline and sideline. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:55.760 And don't forget they signed cunning him. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.480 It was the six four middle linebacker from Bandon and 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.599 they also signed mass Jack, so they go, you go 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.160 two venturis in case the Kobe Dean not ready. 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.679 Yeah, So I actually think the biggest question mark for 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.880 me is the is the coaching right if they can, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.720 if they can kind of write that ship. I don't 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.440 see from a roster standpoint. I guess barring injury too, right, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.839 if Jalen hurts gets hurt, like that's gonna be a 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.680 tough deal, right, But I think they're they're the cream 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:19.640 of the crop in the division. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.000 They guess who you got to beat? 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.559 Yeahs, who you got to prove it? 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:23.360 Knock them off? 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.680 They pedal? Yeah, Yeah, I think we're all in agreement there, right, Yeah, 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:26.240 that way. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.559 So nobody feel good about New York Giants. And do 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.719 everybody feel like it was free gazy what they did? 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.480 So just the market. It's one of those teams where 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.560 like the margin for Aratanna is so small, right, they're 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.320 winning games sixteen to seventeen, the last minute field goal, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.719 They're everything has fallen right for them. They're going on 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.120 these twelve fifteen play drives. Consistency. Now, that's coaching, and 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.959 that's good stuff, but it's also like there's a reason 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.280 people don't do that. It's statistically not sustainable. And so 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.920 I but I am higher on the Giants, and I 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.000 think a lot of people get I think they did 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.680 good a job kind of bringing in talent around Daniel 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.400 Jones tight end. And they brought in, you know, some 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.679 kind of fast, small receivers that can make them, make 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.040 them a little bit more explosive offensively, create more space 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.360 underneath for some of those players. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.800 So they drafted the guy from Tennessee who flat out run. 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.679 I think he's gonna have to learn how to go 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:14.679 against the pro press. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:16.120 Yeah, yeah, he didn't. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.480 He was in motion all the time and and he's like. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.760 A runaway type guy. He used to run, and I 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.679 want to see him run the whole route. Tree used 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.559 to just running past people. That ain't gonna work in 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.480 the NFL every day. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.280 But I think the Giants are just a scrappy team 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.000 with they do got identa because I thought they played 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.640 on defense well, I think lowing Thibadeau. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.120 I think dead group of guys they got over there. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.920 I think they can play. But if you ask me, 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.120 they're the last team in this division. If you ask 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:44.600 me the. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.400 Last team the last season. Wow, interesting because I think 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.839 they're they're so well coached. They don't have they do 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.960 have our number, but they're solo coached, and they've they've 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:54.920 got better on the offensive line, they've gotten better, and 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:56.439 it's like, I guess to me, I guess the big 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.880 question is I look at quarterbacks and is Daniel Jones 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.959 better than Sam Howell right now? I would say probably, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.800 And usually usually that's not one hundred percent accurate, but 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.840 usually that's a good indicator of a team that's probably 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.439 going to be a little bit better now. I think 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.440 I think the defense here is significantly better than them, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.120 and I think they can. The ceiling for them is 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.880 incredibly high. I'm talking about Washington now, but they do 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.360 have some pieces on that defense that are pretty talented. 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.400 The offense, I think it feels a little bit piecemeal, 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.640 but it's getting better. So it's just it's hard to 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.680 know what the Giants because it was the marge Vera 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:29.880 was like, so. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.720 You want to feel that way about Dania Jones because 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.280 he just has a a big a book of work 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:36.280 than Salem. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.200 Exactly exactly right, because if I ask you to compare. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:41.920 To him and say, is his arms strong and his Sam, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.520 I'd be like, nah, they they own arms comparable with 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.160 Daniel Jones can run with Sam can run also, Like, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.720 so it ain't the only thing that stopping him is 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.400 one got three thousand plays under they built, the other 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:53.360 one got nineteen. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.000 Well, it's kind of like what we're talking about today, 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.800 Fred with Jacoby Verssett. How Jacoby looks a little bit 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.640 better in certain situations just because he's more experience. That 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.520 doesn't mean Sam's potential isn't better. But right now, Sam 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.160 is you know, he's a second year player one start 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.440 to his name, So that's a rookie. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.600 But so so Giants, what's the thought I mean, they 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.720 drafted the Banks in the first round. He's a pressman 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.840 corner that fits with what they want to do defensively, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.520 they drafted John Michael Schmid's the center from Minnesota. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:23.800 I love Michael Smiths. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.560 And then is does Evan Neil kind of take the 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.920 same level of improvement this year? Right, there's some pieces 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.720 there they make you go, well maybe, and then Darren 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.720 Waller again, I am so high on Dyla wrote to me. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.320 When he's healthy, he's maybe the best tight ending football, 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.360 best best offensive weapon. Yeah, and put him, put him 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.440 in that offense with with day Ball and uh Kafka, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.520 Like what is the result there? Like? Can he be 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.000 a thousand yard receiver? Can he add an explosi development 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:50.120 to that? 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.440 Only if Daniel Jones take another step? 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:52.720 Yeah? 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.880 If Daniel Jones don't take another step, they will take 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:55.200 a step. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.240 I feel like that's that's something that we don't give 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.200 that guy enough credit for. Daniel Jones have for the 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.040 years I've been watching him, y'all understood that. 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.400 You know a few years ago he. 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.320 Fumbled the ball a lot, but his office the line 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.720 wasn't blocking worth nothing, So he was always in scramble 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.680 mode and trying to do more. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:11.320 Than he needed to do. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.480 But he's been accurate when he throws the ball. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.720 He's been a guy that knows how to allow the 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.440 defense to get up here and then he finds that 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.800 crease to run through there and get those hitting yards 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.640 with his legs. So you know, he's that scary good 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.160 to me, Like, he's not one of those guys that 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:26.920 you sit there and say we got to serve him 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.680 on our paper that week and say we got to 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.760 get ready for him, but we always got to say 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.640 and went in doubt this guy here can beat us. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.120 But he's been precise and been accurate at time. So 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.120 adding Waller's gonna be scary because now he has that 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:44.520 safety and that he has a guy and that he 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.520 can remember that a couple of years ago they wanted 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.280 they wanted that other tight end to be that guy, 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.600 and he ended up going to Jacksonville and Ingram and 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.280 he having a phenomenal time out there, you know, playing 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.640 in Jacksonville. But the Giants has always had our number. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.520 So we have to find a way that a way 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.600 to beat him. We gotta beat these guys. This is 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:04.160 that those coaches just know how to coach better against us. Yeah, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.760 what it is because we always had the players. 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.320 The question is when we play the Giants, is it 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.880 the Xes and O's are the Jimmy and the Joe? 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.440 Like this, this is what we're gonna have to figure 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:15.440 out because right now, I think with the Exes and 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.400
