I'm joined by 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: two times Super Bowl champion David Deal. But first a 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: reminder that the Giants Huddle podcast can be found on 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: the Giants app or at Giants dot com, Slash podcasts, 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: and on all popular podcast platforms. Now joined by our guest, 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: David Deal. David Deal, thirty seven twenty one is the 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: final score. It sounds a lot closer than it was though, 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, at one point in the fourth quarter of 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,319 Speaker 1: the Giants were down by thirty. They made it interesting late. 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: But what's your initial reaction to this one? I mean, 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: just overwhelmed by the output in the production that the 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: Giants had in this football game. You think going to Arizona, 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: spending that week on prep time, you know, focusing on 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: the techniques and fundamentals after last week in Miami, you 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: know there were things that need to be cleaned up, 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: not only it just technically, but game plan wise. And 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: when you look at the offense and the offensive line, 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, coming out and their movement by their defensive 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: line of the Chargers, they had problems. And he had 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: guys like Joey Bosas splitting and getting into the backfield 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: to where Sae Kawan Barkley was bouncing to the outside 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 1: where there was no place to go. And then when 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: you look at the quarterback position, you know, obviously there 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: were drops by receivers, but Mike Lennon did not play 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: well in this football game. I can sit here right 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: now and one of the key drives in the football 30 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: game that was a lynchpin for the Giants, and then 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: they take off moment for the Chargers was the second 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: of the last drive for the Giants in the second quarter. 33 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: You think about they get the ball, you have Riley 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: Dixon punt the football out of bounds at the four 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: yard line. The Giants come up with a big stop defensively. 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: The Giants offense get the ball in perfect field position 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: with one forty left on the clock at the Chargers 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: forty three yard line. They went three and out punted 39 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: the ball act and the next play or two plays later, 40 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Guiton has the fifty nine yard touchdown. Then you 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: come back. You don't have a drive this end of 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: game or the end of second half. They get the 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: ball to start the second half, drive right down, kick 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: the game winning or kick a field goal, and from 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: that point now you're just playing catch up. And that's 46 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: where we started to see the flea flickers show up, 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: and then all special teams wise, that's one area where 48 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: that just stood out to me throughout the entire game. 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: Whether it was a hold on the punk return, whether 50 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: it was the kick out of bounce, whether it was 51 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: the incomplete complete on the fake punt on the fourth 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: and nine. Those are plays that have to be made 53 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: when you sit there and you look at the magnitude 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: of the situation of where the Giants were in the 55 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: football game, and nobody made the plays. Nobody came up 56 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, and you know mentioned Mike Glennon. Of course, 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: Mike Glennon is the backup quarterbacktor Daniel Jones, who's out 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: with that neck injury. But glenn himself was out all 59 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: week with concussion protocol. He didn't get cleared until late 60 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: in the week, so it was Jake from who has 61 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: taken all the first team rep and then you know 62 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: with Sterling Shepherd coming back. That chemistry is very limited 63 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: with Glennon and Shep and you could see that. But also, 64 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, that final two minutes, the first half, 65 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: that time period has just been a no go zone 66 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: for the Giants so far this season. There was just 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: so many missed opportunities there. But they also had those 68 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: bad luck moments like the field goal that you mentioned. 69 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, the Giants defense does a great job of 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: holding strong at fourth and one right by the goal line, 71 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: but a false start penalty backs up the Chargers and 72 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: suddenly they're kicking a field goal and getting the points. 73 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: After all, it's just a bad luck. But one thing 74 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: that you have to, you know, point out is is 75 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley did start to look like what we 76 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: know of Sae Kwon Barkley. He was getting some consistency, 77 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: and of course it helps going against the Chargers defense, 78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: and you know their run defense is not as strong 79 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: as some other aspects of this team. Yeah, no, that 80 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: that's one positive side was to see se Kwon Berkeley, 81 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: not only just his performance on the field, but seeing 82 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: them after both of these games and having that bad 83 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: taste in his mouth. And I hope that starts to 84 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: rub off on other people on the offensive side of 85 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: the ball, because it was great to see him start 86 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: to get some competence back because at this point four 87 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: weeks back, you're fully healthy. It's the mental aspect of 88 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: it to be able to build confidence and push through it. 89 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: And I thought I saw some of those bright spots 90 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: today out of Sae Kwon Barkley. And you know, like 91 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: I said, this offensive line needs to continue to get 92 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: work and move forward here because they've got a Dallas 93 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense that just created four takeaways, three force fumbles, 94 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: They had the interception of Taylor Heinechy, they had four 95 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: sacks in the game, and they completely disrupted the Washington 96 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: football team's offense toward Antonio Gibson, I think had thirty 97 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: yards on the day and they only had a hundred 98 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: yards rushing. So this Giant's offense and this offensive line 99 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: better be ready for a war that's coming in this 100 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: Sunday into MetLife Stadium, because we know this Dallas Cowboys team, 101 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: even though they've been down, they're trying to bounce themselves back. 102 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: And I know, for me in this perspective, I've been 103 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: in these situations before. You know, people always sit here 104 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: and they think, while you're a two time super Bowl champ, 105 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: I remember going four and twelve, I remember going six 106 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: and ten, I remember going eight and in the struggle, 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: and what you realize during those times is when you're winning, 108 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: nobody can touch you. But when you're losing, nobody can 109 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: save you. The only people that can save you are 110 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: you yourself, the people in that locker room, the coaches, 111 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: and the way that you practice and prepare. We've heard 112 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: Joe Judge sit here and say, well, we've got execution 113 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: during the week, but it's not showing up. And this 114 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: is all about production. And that's what we need to 115 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: see out of this Giants football team in this game 116 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: and moving forward for the next four weeks, because as 117 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: we know, with any season that struggles, with any season 118 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: that's going to be a losing season, there's gonna be changed, 119 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be turnover, and are you a part of 120 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: the solution or are you the problem? Right? And you know, 121 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got twenty one points in the loss 122 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: and there's only the third time this season this Giant's 123 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: offense is cracked that twenty point mark. That's not a 124 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: good stat to have that's something that's you know, consistent 125 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: struggles in this group. Positive area though they were three 126 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: for three in the red zone and uncharacteristically quiet day 127 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: for Graham Gono, not being you know, settling for field goals. 128 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: But that's only three attempts. They didn't get down there 129 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: that much. They didn't have the opportunity to move. There 130 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: is a lot of injury this team has been dealing with. 131 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: There is a lot of adversity this team has been 132 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: dealing with. But at some point, you know, you've got 133 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: to make some changes. You've gotta make some adjustments. Kyle Rudolph, 134 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, he had some big plays early on, he 135 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: was targeted twice, but then you kind of got quiet 136 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: and I don't know if he was just out of 137 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: gas after that sixty yard run. This man, it was 138 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: like the longest of his career. He looked winded, like 139 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: get that man's oxygen um. But you know, when you've 140 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: got the backup quarterback in there, you've got to kind 141 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: of develop that chemistry and spread the ball around and 142 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: get things moving. Yeah, it is something that develops chemistry, 143 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: and you've got to continue to work those relationships and 144 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: make sure that you're on the same page. But at 145 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: the same time, Mike Lemon's got to play better as 146 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback. I mean, at this point he's seen 147 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: everything that he possibly can see as a as a 148 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: quarterback and a professional football player. But now it's about 149 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: going out and it's about your actions, you know, because 150 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: there were three times in this game to worry through 151 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: into double coverage. One worry through a jump ball to 152 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, but it was underthrown. Golladay had to go 153 00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: over Davis to pull the ball out of his hand 154 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: to make sure that it didn't come down with an interception. 155 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: And when you have those plays and critical moments, as 156 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: we said, this football team right now is not good 157 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: enough to overcome it. And then when you look at 158 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball, what is the one 159 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: thing that we continue to hone in and talk about 160 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: that they need to have and create in order for 161 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the Giants offense to have opportunities are takeaways. That was 162 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: something that they didn't have last week in the Dolphins game, 163 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: and they didn't have any today either, especially after starting 164 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: the season with every game having at least one takeaway, 165 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: eight games in a row having at least one interception 166 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: that was such a strong point for this team, and 167 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: it seems to have kind of vanished the Monstars came 168 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: and snatched it or whatever happened out there. Um, but 169 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: that's something that they're gonna need to get back on 170 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: track again facing these Cowboys next week. The Giants record 171 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: right now stands at four and nine, which all cements 172 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: the fact that this team will finish with the record 173 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: below five hundred, the fifth year in a row they've 174 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: got a losing record and eight of the last nine. 175 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter though, when you're facing a division rival, you're 176 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: making me sick to my stomach saying that metal and 177 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and they did sit here and to hear 178 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: some of the statistics of this offense, the fact that 179 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: this was the first weeks since what was it Week 180 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: nine in October, that week seven, but they've had a 181 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: running back or a wide receiver score touchdown. You just 182 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: look at this football team and the talent on it. 183 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: They're too good in order to have that minimal of 184 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: production and to be last dead last in the NFL 185 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: right now in red zone. When you think about on 186 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: the outside, obviously Stirling Shepard just getting back healthy, but 187 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: when you have a Kenny Golladay and Evan Ingram, a 188 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, you have a see Kwan Barkley. This is 189 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: where Freddie Kitchens has really got to dial things in 190 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: and where it can't be about flea flickers and trickery. 191 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: It's got to be back to fundamentals and playing sound 192 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: football and making sure that they don't chase the chains 193 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: on third down. I mean, we can sit here and 194 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: as you said, we look at numbers and you're looking 195 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: at the score, and you're looking at it, but it 196 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't tell the story whatsoever book took place today in 197 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, And I mean that there's so much 198 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, the first downs right now are 199 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: looking comparable to twenty led by the Charges, but at 200 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: one point it was sixteen to five, and at one 201 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: point they had eight strange rids that were four touchdowns 202 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: and three field goal. I mean that that's something that 203 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: you can't overcome when you're playing a good football team 204 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: like the Los Angeles Chargers, who are sitting there vine 205 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: to get back into the playoffs, are in a tight race. 206 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: They came out and performed better. They executed better in 207 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: all three phases offense, defense, and special teams and when 208 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: you look at that, it's no coincidence that they win 209 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: a football game in that manner, right, and the Giant 210 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: special teams had some heroics of late and later in 211 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: the game with that you know, on side kick, that 212 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: was a great recovery by Keion Crossing there, But earlier 213 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: they had some gaffs. You know, they had that out 214 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: of bounce kick. They had that fake punt on fourth 215 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: and nine that Riley Dixon tried to connect with Keion 216 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Crossing threw it right over and said. There was a 217 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: lot going on there, and I think special teams is 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: something that has been something that this team has hung 219 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: its hat on, but today it seemed like they were 220 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: a later arriving crowd in a way. Yeah, it definitely was. 221 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: And obviously it was great to see them finish and 222 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: play the game fall out, but it was too late, 223 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: and you tak about it, not only the penalties on 224 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,839 Speaker 1: special teams, but Riley Dixon has gotta pump. He's got 225 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: to play better and give better fuel position to this defense. 226 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: And like I said, yes, he did have the one 227 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: that was punted down inside the four, but we've seen 228 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: other punts this season that he has struggled and this 229 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: was one of them too. It's a tough one though, 230 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: but you know what, another game coming up. We got 231 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: four more left on the calendar, and that's why they 232 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: play the game. Any given Sunday, anything could happen. We 233 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: know that all too well. The Giants have the Cowboys 234 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: coming to town. I'm sure they will be very happy 235 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: to be back at home in MetLife Stadium after a 236 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: long road tripped out Dolphins in Miami to a week 237 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: in Arizona to the Chargers in l A. Staying over 238 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: in l A uh tonight after this loss. If you're 239 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: if you just had a loss like this one and 240 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: you're staying over and how how are you processing this? 241 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm eating food and I'm getting in the cold top 242 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: because I know what's ahead of me, and I know 243 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: what I need to do as a professional athlete and 244 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: somebody who takes pride in their profession in order to 245 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: compete and put my best product for the next four weeks. Obviously, 246 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: going to air Arizona was a change of schedule. Being 247 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: now and staying an extra day in Los Angeles and 248 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: coming back tomorrow, you're essentially losing half of your day 249 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: of recovery being on an airplane and then trying to 250 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: do it in a quick week to get ready for Sunday. 251 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: So if I was there, I'd be icing up. I'd 252 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: be sitting here getting ready, and on that flight home, 253 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: I'd be sitting here looking at self scouting this game, 254 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: and I'd be preparing and getting ready for the Dallas Cowboys, 255 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: because that's the only way that you're going to get 256 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: this taste out of your mouth, that's taking it on 257 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys.
