00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: As we're recapping the giants fourteen loss to the Buffalo

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Bills is the Giants fall to Owen two on the season.

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: They have now started off Owen two for the sixth

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: time in the last seven years, and they have lost

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: three straight regular seas and home openers two thousand seventeen

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: home against Detroit, two thousand eighteen against Jacksonville, and this

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: year against another a f c FO, the Buffalo Bills.

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 1: This was a game that was seven at the break

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: as the Buffalo Bills really pounded the ball on the

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: ground in the second half, and that played right into

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: their hands because Buffalo is the type of team that

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: they know they have a strong defense, and if they

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: can maintain that lead with their defense, they'll look to

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: make the clock. And that's exactly how the second half

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: played out. The Giants took a seven nothing lead, just

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: like they did against the Dallas Cowboys when they marched

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: down the field on the opening possession got into the

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: end zone last week as Evan Ingram. This week it

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: was set Kwon Barkley and then the Buffalo Bills scored

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: three straight touchdowns on three straight possessions to make it

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: seven game and the New York Giants were never able

33
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: to regroup and recover from that point. A number of

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: big plays on the ground, the number of big plays

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: through the air, very similar to what we saw with

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and I bring in Carl Banks and

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: Carl as I mentioned last week, we saw a lot

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: of big plays given up by the defense, and this

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: week it seemed to be a continuation of the same

40
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: things that troubled them just a week ago. In the

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: opener in Dallas, well, it would be easy lance if

42
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: we could point to one person, but it's across the board,

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: like it's a mess. In the defensive backfield, you get

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: mr signments, miss tackles um. You know, we're not questioning

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the effort um when they make plays. They make plays,

46
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: but there's no level of consistency. And that's something that

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: has to be addressed in meeting rooms. And you gotta

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: teach sound fundamentals. You gotta play sound fundamentals. And you

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: look at the rookie, you say, well, you gotta live

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: with some of the rookie mistakes. Hey, you're a starter.

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Every team in NFL starts rookies, deals with young players. Yeah,

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: so you gotta coach him up. But the player has

53
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: to commit to its fundamentals. People were screaming, Oh, put

54
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: him in press coverage. That's what he's used to in college.

55
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Put him in press coverage. Let's the guy to get

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: off the line scrimmage anyway. You know. So you got

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: he's got to have some confidence in his his techniques. Uh,

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: they've got to coach him up. Bottom line, they have

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to be better. Let's go to the podium. Pat Shermer

60
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: speaking to the media. All right, first, I thought Buffalo

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: did a good job, took advantage of opportunities. They scored

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: when they need to early or needed too early. UM.

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: And then when we we tightened it up a little

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: bit and played a little better defense at the end,

65
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: we need we got to make sure we score. I

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: thought early in the game the missfield goal and then

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: obviously the interception before the half. UM, those are scoring

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: opportunities that you can't miss on. UM. We knew going

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: into it they were a good defense. UM. Felt like

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Toad I wanted to keep say Kwan involved as much

71
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: as we could, even though the score got the way

72
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: it was UM. And then ultimately we just didn't make

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: enough place to win. Credit Buffalo. They played well, um,

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and all three phases of the game, and UM, we

75
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: didn't make enough place. So what that will take your

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: questions because it was a big difference you saw defensively

77
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: in that first half that you were a doing that

78
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: second half. I think we just challenged better. UM. That

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: was that was more of the focus. Make sure we

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: just challenged everything and we did, and UM, you know

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, they got a couple of

82
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: incomplete passes within the drive they were completing pass as early,

83
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: and that was keeping drives alive. When you get those

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: incomplete passes on first second down, it puts pressure on

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: your third downs and I think that's where and then

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: they had a couple of penalties, so some of it

87
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: was and I think basic basically from a defensive standpoint,

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: we just challenged more and better. Deandrey b could have

89
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: to settle down after the rock he started lead better

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: to Worter back into the game. Yeah, well, you just

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: gotta keep talking to him. You know, this is his

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: uh fourth half for football in the NFL, and you know,

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I just gotta keep talking to him. The guys did

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: a good job of coaching him. He keeps he's a

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: tough guy and he learns from every play that he's

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: involved in, and he'll continue to learn as he goes forward.

97
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Thinks so bad weeks weeks, Well, we lost right that

98
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: both scenarios, Um, both scenarios point wise played out the same.

99
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: They got ahead on us DeAndre. I think it's just

100
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: he's a he's a you know, he's a rookie corner

101
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: and he's just learning how to play the game at

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: this level. And um, I think he keeps challenging and

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: he'll keep continuing to get better because he has a

104
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: skill and ability to do it. Close. The first two weeks,

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: you've had good opening drives and stored on them. Do

106
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you think the offense hasn't been asked assistant to be game? Uh? Well,

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: some of the things that you know happened to their

108
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: offense happened to ours. You know, we get penalties or

109
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: fortever reason we don't um you know, get those yards

110
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: need on for as second down and then you got

111
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: those longer third downs that become a challenge for every team.

112
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: We need to J Jones has man. Yeah, he did

113
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: a great job. You know, he caught the touchdown pass,

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: certainly had the long uh punt return which was excellent,

115
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: set us up in a position to get points which

116
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: we didn't. So for being here just a couple of days,

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: he did a very nice job. How would you says

118
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: he likes playing today? I think he is. Play is

119
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: indicative of how our team played. You know, there were

120
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: some really good plays in there, and then there's some

121
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: things that we need to improve on. Pat starting to

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: see you too, put you get a little bit of challenge.

123
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: You're going your message guys as you get ready to

124
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: meet for it. Well, we gotta get we gotta go

125
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: win a game in Tampa. That's the message. And um,

126
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: that's just the way you gotta that's how you gotta

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: roll this thing out. Just go play you Um. Last

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: obviously Buffalo had a lot of reflections and they did

129
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: again today again, so obviously you know that that's something

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: they can do. Well. How do you think your guys

131
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: handled it? I mean, obviously set it do he needs

132
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: to play on? Yeah, I mean the tip ball, you know,

133
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: it happens. Um, they're good at it. I thought our

134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: guys for the most part, did a good job protecting

135
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: and when a guy can't get home, you know, and

136
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: they put their hands up. So. Um, the one that

137
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: was deflected. Sa Kwan was running an option route. We're

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: trying to throw him the ball and he broke inside

139
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: and that's where the throwing lane was and they tipped it.

140
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: What's your overall that will concerned and over two and

141
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: just not a plane the way you want to play, well,

142
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: I think my focus is going to go right to

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: the next opponent. That's that's where it's gonna go. When

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: Cody went down, did that hamper the way you wanted

145
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: to run the offensive tune at three healthy receivers left.

146
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: We came into this obviously, we weren't quite sure that

147
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Cody was gonna make it till you know, late yesterday.

148
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I guess it was so Um played much more twelve

149
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: and twenty one than I normally would do. Um our

150
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: receiver situation, it just is what it is, and the

151
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: guy's got to go out there and step up, you know.

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: And some guys did what do you think what you

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: considered finial the game? Game New We at what point

154
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: do you start better today? I think we gotta look

155
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: at how our team played and we gotta just go

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: back and take, you know, take steps to get better

157
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: in all areas. Um, I don't. I don't think that's

158
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: a conversation for right now. I think we gotta get

159
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: everybody's gotta played better. A concern that it seems like

160
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: the fans are getting upset early, I mean, is that

161
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: a concern for you guys. I thought the fans there

162
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: was a stretch that when we down the punt inside

163
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: the one that was that was awesome, And I thought

164
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: the fans did a great job of trying to energize things.

165
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: We got great fans and they deserved to see wins,

166
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: and at this point, at least through today, we haven't won,

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: and so we gotta do what we can to win

168
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and help them feel better about things. Take some more

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: which that first team drive was pretty much all of

170
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: our Why are you thinking so so long before the

171
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: passing attack to jel like, I don't know that you know,

172
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were every anytime you don't complete passes, Uh,

173
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: certainly there's reasons for it. We talked earlier about the

174
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: tip balls if you had pressure, or you just don't

175
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: execute on the throw and the and the catch part

176
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: of it, um or they defended it, and there's probably

177
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: all those things that showed up. What are they doing

178
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: defensive later defensive back Genora's Jenkins last week with a

179
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: lot of yeah, the secondary and when then did did

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: a receiver score? Okay, well we played we played great

181
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: on the second day, or we just gotta step it

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: up a little bit more that we're completed there and

183
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: we gotta come through man as a defense and get

184
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: out the field on third down. Where do you think

185
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: you said the most progress Genor's from Jack Rapper from

186
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: the first half to the second half as your defense

187
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: improved later in the game. I was just knowing what

188
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: they was doing the second half, understanding more rot recognition

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: is in no formations and stuff like that. I'm frustrating

190
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: were going too again. It seems to be it's first grading.

191
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: But we got a lot of dollars in here. Then

192
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull it through, come out and just continue

193
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: to work. So specifically you feel like you need to change,

194
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: you get that win in Tampa Bay. In terms in around,

195
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep going, man, keep fighting. Anybody gotta

196
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: finish strong and play hard, harder. Anybody got to step

197
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: it up. And that that's Norris Jenkins. I'm gonna slide

198
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: out of here and see if Eli mann he's ready

199
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: on the other side of the locker room. Let's take

200
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: a look as we walk across round the locker room

201
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: and the locker Rooms segment is brought to you by

202
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: met Life, the official insurance company of the New York Giants,

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: and Eli Manning will be with us in just a

204
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: moment here on Mercedes Bench Giants Extra Point. As I

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: make my way across the locker room here and I'm

206
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: joined by the quarterback of the New York Football Giants.

207
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: That's Eli Manning gets brought to you by Toyota, the

208
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: official vehicle of the New York Giants. ELI again, you

209
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: guys come out, first drive of the game up and

210
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: then the field bing bang him another score, and then

211
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: things need to slow down a little bit. Yeah, you know,

212
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta uh you know, we're starting fast

213
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: and that's great. We gotta continue to do that, but

214
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: we just gotta find ways to, um, you know, after

215
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: that first drive, to to move it, convert on third

216
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: downs and and score more points. So, um, you know,

217
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: we just stalled out, you know, too many times and

218
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: didn't convert on third downs enough. Is that a matter

219
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: of then making some adjustments, you guys not executing as

220
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: well when you ABU obviously have to look at the tape,

221
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: but just early impressions, Um, you know, it's always gonna

222
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: be a little bit of both. I think it's just, um,

223
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, we just you know, we didn't have the

224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: success on first and second down, so we got into

225
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: some third and longer stuff and then um, you know

226
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: just uh you know, uh, you know, you know close

227
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: has some badded balls on first and second down. You know,

228
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: just some things where we have guys open instead instead

229
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: of getting first downs or are you getting seven eight yards?

230
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: You're you know, you're getting nothing, so we just um

231
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: and then third downs is um. You know, they mixed

232
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: things up and had a good plan and had some

233
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: things covered and you know, then we missed a few

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: us off. What is about this Bill team in the

235
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: way they bat balls to the line of screamage. They

236
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: did it last week against the Jets and they got

237
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: do you guys a couple of times today and and

238
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: one turned into a turnover. Yeah, I don't know. They

239
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: do a good job. I guess just uh, you know,

240
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: getting their hand up in the interior and and um

241
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: uh and batting some so yeah, unfortunate today. You know,

242
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: instead of having a you know, possibly a first down,

243
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: it gets tipped and intercepted. So those those hurt you

244
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: How essential was the sequence at the end of the

245
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: first half. You guys, don't covert on the field goal,

246
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: you get the ball back and then you can't convert

247
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: on another scoring opportunity against the defense Like this is

248
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: that something you can look back and then go, you know,

249
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: maybe that was our chance to get where we needed

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: to get. Yeah, definitely, you know that that one hurts,

251
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, we had um, you know, had a third down,

252
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, had a had a you know, kind of

253
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: a whole shot to uh to Benny and the safety

254
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: made a good play and and hitting him and knocking

255
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: the ball loose and and so you know, we missed

256
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: the field goals, so we get no points out of that. Again,

257
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: we get a great punt return, um, and yeah, you know,

258
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: have a good first down play we're driving and you know,

259
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: you get just a tip ball and you know, um

260
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: and a guy behind you intercepts it. So um know,

261
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: sometimes that's just football and the way the way bounces

262
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: go and um. But you know, yeah, definitely getting no

263
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: points on those two situations. Uh, you know, hurt us

264
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: and and and took away a little momentum. Obviously the

265
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: NFL with the next man type of league, but against

266
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: this defense, one of the best passing defenses of football.

267
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: How much of a challenge was it to be here

268
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: without Golden Tate, without Stone Shepherd, and then you lose

269
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: Cody Ladder right through the game as well. Yeah, I

270
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: mean I thought, and you know, they're good, you know,

271
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: they're a good job with their past rushings and changing

272
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: up coverages and and making it tough I thought, you know,

273
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: I thought our receivers did well. Uh made some nice plays. Uh,

274
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, did some good things. And you know, they

275
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: do a good job just not giving up many deep plays.

276
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: So we didn't have you know, we didn't have many shots. Um.

277
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: And it's just one of those head you do not

278
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: have to you know, dicing dunk sometimes and then all

279
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're trying to do that and they're

280
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: batting balls and you're getting nothing. So you know, that's

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: that's why they're a good defense. They did a good

282
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: job of, um, you know, of playing their style. Finally

283
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: you're owing too. You're hanging now to Tampa next week.

284
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: Just mind setting the locker them. What's your message to

285
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: the team and just what has to happen for this

286
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: team to rebound and get that first one of the season. Yeah,

287
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: just you know, we gotta just keep fighting. Um. You know,

288
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: obviously it comes down to we gotta play better on

289
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: on game day offense, we gotta score more points. We

290
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: gotta stay on the field, we gotta um, you know,

291
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: just um, you know, extend drives and keep drives going

292
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: with you know, once we get some you know, good

293
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: things happening. So um, you know, we just gotta look

294
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: hard at the film, make corrections and make sure we're

295
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: playing better football. Thank you, Thank Giants quarterback Eli Man again.

309
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: We're all gonna have to play well. We're all gonna

310
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: have to step up to the challenge. Is gonna be

311
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: hot down there, so we're don't have to go out

312
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: there and make plays, and you know, we gotta take

313
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: it one play at a time. Barkley really got going.

314
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel like when he gets going it allows

315
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: you guys get some one on ones. Oh. Absolutely the

316
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: best running back in the league. So um, Now, anytime

317
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: we can get the ball in two secon of hands like,

318
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna make plays. So we just gotta continue to

319
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands and take advantage of

320
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: the opportunities when we can. In front of his locker

321
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: here in the Giants locker room, our second mind is

322
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna head over there and wait on se Kwon Barkley

323
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: when he gets back to his locker. Evan Ingram's over

324
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: there too. Lets you know when we have them ready

325
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: to go. I'm in front of the locker of DeAndre

326
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Baker and one of these guys being in the talk.

327
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I will let you know Lands, but for now, let's

328
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: talk back upstairs to you. All right, Thank you so much. John.

329
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: A reminder that Pat Tremer's press conference was brought to

330
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: you by your local Mercedes Benz Try State dealers. Visit

331
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: n b USA dot com for special offers. As the

332
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Bills top the Giants fourteen here at MetLife Stadium, Giants

333
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: off too. And oh and to start for the sixth

334
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: time in the last seven seasons. And we just heard

335
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: from Pat Shermer as well as Eli Manning and another

336
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: game in which the Giants had multiple drives stall as

337
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: a result of third down struggles. This is a team

338
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: now that is five of twenty three on third down

339
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: over the course of two games. They were two of

340
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: eleven last week, not any better today three of twelve,

341
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: and the inability to convert on those third downs a

342
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: big reason why the Giants struggled to finish off drives

343
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: with points, whether it be touchdowns or field goals. And

344
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: old Drake Rosas missed a forty eight yard attempt in

345
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: the first half. They then got the ball back at

346
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Eli Manning pass was batted down at the line of scrimmage,

347
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: intercepted by Trent Murphy. It was one of those games

348
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: where the Giants got off to a great start with

349
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: an opening drive touchdown and then everything simply unraveled after that.

350
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: And this game played right into the hands of the

351
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills because it's a team which strength goes to

352
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. When you give this

353
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's team a lead, they were able to run

354
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: the football with Frank Gore and Devin Singletary, and that's

355
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: exactly what they did. Thirty four rushes for the Buffalo

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: Bills for a hundred fifty one yards, nearly four and

357
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: a half yards per carry, and they looked to pound

358
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: the ball and milk the clock in the second half,

359
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: knowing that the pressure wasn't on for them to get

360
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: any more than twenty eight points. As far as the

361
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: Giants are concerned, they had twenty carries for a hundred

362
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards on the ground. S Kwan Barkley led

363
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: the way with eighteen carries for a hundred seven yards.

364
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: As that is the Giants Power Report, and the Giants

365
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: Power Report brought to you by p S, E and

366
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: G committed to providing safe, reliable energy now and in

367
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: the future. Barkley wound up with twenty one touches in

368
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: this game compared to fifteen in the opener against the

369
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. There was a lot of talk about how

370
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: much he would be involved in the offensive game plan

371
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: throughout the course of today's contest, and the Giants did

372
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: get him involved early. They end five plays on their

373
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: first drive, all on the ground. There was Barkley. It

374
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: was Benny Fowler and they easily marched up and down

375
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the field against the Buffalo Bills. And then after that,

376
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: the Giants just continued to struggle on third down and

377
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: as a result, the Buffalo Bills walked away with a

378
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: two touchdown victory over the New York Giants. Up next

379
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Giants will head

380
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: on the road. We will step beside when we come back,

381
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: we'll look ahead to that Bucks game. Certainly, we'll take

382
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: you through some more statistics and we'll hear from locker

383
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: room reaction. Is the Giants fall of the Bills here

384
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: in MetLife Stadium will be back right after this. You

385
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: were listening to Mercedes Bends Giants extrook point on the

386
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: w f A N Giants Radio network. Back in the

387
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: Giants locker room, here's Genis Jenkins, and he's a thing

388
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: that coach told me, and we're not gonna do this. Seconds.

389
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: You guys go down store so quick and the next thing,

390
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's one seven. You know it's tough, but

391
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to find a way, you know, things

392
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: that could help us. What are you learning about this

393
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 1: game now that it's regular season? The speed is a

394
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: lot quicker. I mean, what if people in these last

395
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, every team do something different, So you know,

396
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: you gotta just watch your family and be ready for

397
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: whatever they do best. Is there anything the bills brought

398
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: in this game that caught you could buy caught you

399
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: guys by surprise at all? Now they start to the

400
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: game playing executed? I mean they made a play. If

401
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: we made plays, we just didn't come out on top.

402
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Go back to the drawing board, you know, work on

403
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: the things that we don't do well out there. There's mobility,

404
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: not really. I think our de Lion did a good job,

405
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, containing him this game. You know, just you know,

406
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: in the back room we're holding up. Just gotta small things.

407
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: You gotta face the execute. What's your mental approach? You

408
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: maybe face a couple of players that didn't go your way,

409
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: but you have to come out and you have to

410
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: forget it and and move on. Oh yeah, you just

411
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: gotta have short term memories. Always the next play, the

412
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: next play, So just don't forget about last place. You

413
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: can't redo it, so just make sure it don't happen again.

414
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: Learn from It's just all all about learning that steangre Baker.

415
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: Let's do it to Mike number two, where Lorenzo Quarters

416
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: addressing the media. Let's listen in, I really don't mean

417
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: too much. We get it right. You guys go down

418
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: so fast, just like last week and score and next thing,

419
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, there's one seven. Yeah, a little tough, but

420
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep playing ball. Historically, only thirteen cent

421
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: of teams that start going to make even make the playoffs.

422
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned the super Bowl thing. How much

423
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: of a uphill is this going to be for this

424
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: group now? I mean, statistics aren't what I do. I

425
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: don't look at statistics. I don't care about statistics. I

426
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: worry worry about next week coming out playing football. Put

427
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: my helmet on somebody that kind of you know that,

428
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: you know that you gotta get it right, appreciate it. Quarter.

429
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: We're standing back for se Quon Barkley to me time.

430
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna slide over and get t J. Jones and

431
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: our second mic is gonna go wait for say Kwan

432
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Barkley over there. Let's listen on t J. Jones addressing

433
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: the media. Actually she did, but it was already surprised

434
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: at all. And then I wouldn't say surprised, just because

435
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: mentally I prepared as if I was going to play

436
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: that much, just to better prepare myself for the situation

437
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: in case, you know, Cody goes down and now I'm

438
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: playing most of the plays. You know, through those last

439
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: couple of drives, if I didn't mentally prepare myself to

440
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: be ready, you know, it might have been a little tougher.

441
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: What were you doing, um when you were not here

442
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: working out in Atlanta? And we now my family, my

443
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: wife and kids, we all have our off season house

444
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: down next. That's where I grew up. I mean, there's

445
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: a there's some good to that, you know, being with

446
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: your family, but I mean, yes, it's great to be

447
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: with the family. It's definitely the timing of the year

448
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: wasn't the best, but I choose to. You know, I'm

449
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: a half glass, half half b glass, half full guy.

450
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: I can sit at home and sulk and not work

451
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: out and be scared or bummed that I'm not with

452
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: the team, or I can work out enjoy the extra

453
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: couple of minutes or hours I get with my family,

454
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: knowing that eventually the call is gonna come. And when

455
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: it does come, you know, I have to be ready

456
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: to give my all to work, so I won't have

457
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: that time with my family. Did they tell you when

458
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: they made the decision not to keep you that, hey,

459
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: stay on alerts because we're gonna we may need to

460
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: call you back. I would. I think it was it

461
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: was more of a stay ready. You know how the

462
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: game goes, injuries and everything. You know, it's it didn't say, hey,

463
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring you back. It's, you know, stay in shape.

464
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: If something happens, you know your name, one of this

465
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: will consider. Um. But obviously they have other guys and

466
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: other moves they would make. So UM, I just stayed

467
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: in shape really to give myself the best opportunity no

468
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: matter who called to go in and to be able

469
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: to just to get through the first practice there, um

470
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: let alone game. That's t J. Jones was still waiting

471
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: on Kon. We'll have him been a second. In a minute,

472
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jog across the locker room here and I'm

473
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna get my mic in front of like Ogal Tree,

474
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: one of the defensive captains who addressing the media on

475
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: this end of the locker us listening. You know, we

476
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: was able to get pressure on them and get some

477
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: sacks in there, and you know, I wish you could

478
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: have had some turnovers in their head, you know, some

479
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: balls in the air that you know we we should

480
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: have got but we didn't get. And you know, we

481
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: we need those things. So you know, they said, we

482
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: just we just suggested at halftime, and you know, guys

483
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: were you know, recepted over it and went out there executed,

484
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: well many changes. It wasn't going to do the same thing,

485
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: you man, you had to make changes. What we were

486
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: doing wasn't working, you know, the first half. And obviously

487
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: they went up at three scores and something like that

488
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: the first half. So you know, for us, it was

489
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: about you know, coming in making those adjustments and and

490
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: and going out there the second half and executing at

491
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: a high level. Man, you know, I thought we did that.

492
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: And then how discouraging is it that I'm sure on

493
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: the sideline you're thinking we've stopped them four straight times.

494
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: It's we just needed one more time. That's how I

495
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: drove to to to make stops every each and every

496
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: time we step out on the field. So you know,

497
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: we can't look at how many times they got the

498
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: ball back or whatever. When we defense out there is

499
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: I have to go out there and get get off

500
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: the field, get the ball back to our offense. And

501
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, we just have to continue

502
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: to do that and you know carry that into next week.

503
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: So what's that That's how we will tree. Let's go

504
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: to our second Mica Barkley has begun addressing the media,

505
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: third down and finishing guys zons um and you know, well,

506
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: continue to start great. Uh, who got to have the

507
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: season continue to go on? We got to continue to

508
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: have it on our back pocket. Back pocket a great start,

509
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: but we just got fine with exc better and win games.

510
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: What's your level of frustration and disappointment starting going to um? Yeah,

511
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: it's right, disapoint started owing to um. But you know what,

512
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: you still get living another day. Um. The season not over.

513
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 1: Our chance at the playoffs are not over. So but

514
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: you can't keep having that mindset. You know, you gotta

515
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: come and attack it. We definitely we got execute better.

516
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: We gotta come to practice. We got practice at a

517
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: high level. Um. Just try everything that we're doing to

518
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: try to turn up another notch um, just so we

519
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: can take care of the best of games in this season.

520
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: We got that out there What did they do after that?

521
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: What kind of adjustments did they make? The defense worth adjustments?

522
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: Did you see them? Um, yeah, they're a very great defense. Um.

523
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: You know you could see that they're a little more

524
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: um downhill, a little more focused on our own game. UM.

525
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: That's that's life. That's what you know, we want to

526
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: be probably the rest of the season. Um, a lot

527
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: of teams gonna try to focus on our own game

528
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: and um, take away the running backs, but hey, that's

529
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: part of it. And I think the wide season, Oline

530
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: did and Allie did a great job um of answering.

531
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: But you know, we just gotta answer better and we've

532
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: got execute better. And it just comes down to execution. Um,

533
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: that's simple. Um the teams that every team that one

534
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: day I bet you to execute better another team. It's

535
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: just that simple come down X and ls and we

536
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: gotta be better. And now three execution struggle down. Um,

537
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta better on first and second down.

538
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: We've got to be better of not giving penalties. Um.

539
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: You know when we get penalties and we're having drive

540
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: killers and we're putting ourselves back in a third eleven

541
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: third and two, the defense playing at the sticks and um,

542
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: you know it just cool sit on there doing their job.

543
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: But we got find will be better for the second downs.

544
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: But even if we're in a long third non situations

545
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: or short dirt non situations, we gotta find way that's

546
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: cutlan the capitalize on it. Scorts twenty in the first

547
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: two games, and you know until UM, I would have

548
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: said you're a liar. UM to be clearly honest, because

549
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: that's how that's how much confidence I have in this team. UM,

550
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: not just on the offense, but the defense, in the

551
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: special team. And my confidence is not gonna go with

552
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: and never will on. My belief in this team will

553
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: never will. UM. I just think that's something that we

554
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: got focused on. We gotta believe in each other. That's

555
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: what we did the second half of this season last year. UM,

556
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: we got back to team football or just playing for

557
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: one another. UM. Nobody could continue to do that. UM,

558
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: get back to that. I think we could turn the

559
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: season around. How much you didn't hurt to come away

560
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: empty in those two possessions at the end of the

561
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: first half. UM, yeah, definitely hurt. Uh you know, uh

562
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: to come with empty I'm not being put ports and on

563
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: on board. But UM, I think we came out you

564
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: know fast and the second half. Um, we talked about

565
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: it in the here we uh, we addressed the situation

566
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: and but we just didn't out there execute. And that's

567
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: just where it comes down to. Execution. Is anything we

568
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: need to change with this team as point? Are you thinking?

569
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: You know? Um? I would I don't think so. UM.

570
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about the mindset. I'm not concerned about

571
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: the belief, not concerned about their confidence. I'm not concerned

572
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: about anything. The only thing we gotta do is scape better. Um.

573
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: It's a simple game. You know. There's a lot of

574
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: things that going on, is a lot of moments that

575
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: going on until the other day. It's simple games football. Ums.

576
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: Whoever execute better. Um, what we gotta do is continue

577
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: believe in each other. But we's got turned up a

578
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: little notch. You know. We start off I going to

579
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: you gotta get back to the drawing boards and be

580
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: pre realistic with each other, be realistic with each other

581
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room. I think that we all then

582
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: gain um that respect from each other where we could

583
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: be realistic and be your own worst. That was Giants

584
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,119

Speaker 1: the Henry Hudson southbound is blocked because of a vehicle fire.

614
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to take a different exit. Now back

615
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: to more game day coverage of Giants football with Lance

621
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: here on the Giants Radio Network. The player the game

622
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: brought to you by the members and contractors of Local

623
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: eight Operating Engineers, Elective Building our Future, and the player

624
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: of the game is St. Kwan Barkley. He finished with

625
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: one hundred thirty five total yards. It came on a

626
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: total of eighteen carries as well as an additional three reception,

627
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: so twenty one touches for the Giants running back and

628
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: he scored the first to down for Big Blue that

629
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: gave them a seven nothing lead as they marched down

630
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: the field for five plays and seventy five yards. Let's

631
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: run you through the stats brought to you by bud Light,

632
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Keep it crisp. We mentioned the rushing numbers Eli Manning

633
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: forty five for two hundred fifty yards, one touchdown past

634
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: the T. J. Jones in the back of the end zone.

635
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: He was picked off twice. One was off a batted

636
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: ball at the line of scrimmage that Trent Murphy came

637
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: up with the former Washington Redskin, a player that the

638
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Giants are very familiar with given his days playing in

639
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the division. And then the other one coming deep down

640
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: the field as Eli Manning was going for the home run.

641
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: In the receiving corps, it was Benny Fowler that led

642
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: the way five catches fifty one yards, had a few

643
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: drops on a pair of third and nine, one of

644
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: which he took a hard hit to the rib area.

645
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: Cody Latimer left the game because of a concussion. He

646
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: had three catches for thirty yards. Remember, Lattimer was a

647
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: question mark to begin with because he suffered a calf

648
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: injury during Wednesday's practice, and we heard from Pat Shermer

649
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: after the game. He had mentioned that they didn't really

650
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: know whether he was good to go until yesterday late

651
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: in the day and they were already down Sterling Shepard

652
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: because of the concussion. And of course Golden Tate is

653
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: still serving that four game suspension. Evan Ingram, who had

654
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: career highs last week eleven catches a hundred sixteen yards.

655
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: The Bills did a really nice job keeping him and check.

656
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: He did finish with six receptions for forty eight yards.

657
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: T J. Jones hauling in three for thirty eight and

658
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Cody core who they claimed from the Cincinnati Bengals right

659
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: before the start of the season, chipped in with three

660
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: for eight. On the Buffalo Bill side of things, Josh

661
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: Allen nineteen of thirty for two hundred fifty three yards,

662
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: had a touchdown pass. He was sacked three times. Marcus

663
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Golden had two of them, Olson Pierre with one. Josh

664
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Allen had two hundred ten passing yards at halftime, And

665
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: when I was talking with Jeff Eagles, I brought up

666
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: the fact the Bills had not had a three hundred

667
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: plus yard passer for thirty four straight games. So you figured,

668
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: while Alan was looking very pretty to hammer out that

669
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: stretch and knock off that drought. But he didn't have

670
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: to throw the football in the second half of the game,

671
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: eight pass attempts wound up with forty three passing yards.

672
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: The Bills pounded the ball on the ground thirty four

673
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: carries on fifty one yards as a team to have

674
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: been Singletary had fifty seven on the ground. Frank Gore

675
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: add sixty eight. They each had a touchdown. Allen also

676
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: ran in for a score. And speaking of touchdowns, the

677
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: Giants now have had their opponents entered the red zone

678
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: six times in the first two games, and the Cowboys

679
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: and the Bills have scored on all six of those opportunities,

680
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: and that's a telling stat. The third down lack of

681
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: efficiency is another telling stats. The Giants five of twenty

682
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: three just over the first two games. And how about

683
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: this minus four turnover differential. They've had two turnovers in

684
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: each of the first two games and not one takeaway,

685
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: and that is usually a big indication of wins and

686
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: losses in the National Football League. For the Bills, receiving

687
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: corps Cole Beasley four catches, eighty three yards. John Brown,

688
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: who had a very impressive showing at this very stadium

689
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: last week It's the Jets, when he had over a

690
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards, was able to move the chains multiple times.

691
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: Seven receptions for seventy two yards. So that is the

692
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: stats from today's game. As the Giants fall to the

693
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Bills to fourteen, they are now owing two for the

694
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: sixth time in the last seven seasons, and they have

695
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: lost their last three regular season home openers. The injury

696
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: report brought to you by Hackensack Meridian Health Life Years Ahead.

697
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, Cody Lattimer suffered a concussion, so

698
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: he's now gonna have to go through the concussion protocol.

699
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: We'll see whether or not Sterling Shepherd makes progress, but

700
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: they are going to go to Tampa Bay next week

701
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: for their second road game in the first three contests,

702
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: and it will be very interesting to see how this

703
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: receiving corps shapes up heading into that third contest, given

704
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: some of the struggles that they're dealing with on the

705
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: injury front. We will step beside. When we come back,

780
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: let's find out how we got to that final score

781
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: as we take you through the highlights from today's contest.

782
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: And the Bills won the toss deferred, so after the

783
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: opening kickoff went for a touchback. Giants began in their

784
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: first possession at their own twenty five, just like last

785
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: week against the Cowboys. Immediately it to work, say Kwan

786
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: Barkley ran for six, then Benny Fowler picked up twenty

787
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: yards on the ground at just like that, the Giants

788
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: were in Buffalo territory. First and ten at the bills

789
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: forty nine yard line. Barkley ran two straight times for

790
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: twenty two total yards. So on the second and short

791
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: from the twenty seven, the Giants had no interest in

792
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: changing things up. Second and two at the Bills seven,

793
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: Barkley slashes off the right side, cuts right at the

794
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: fifty foot rights to the ten to the five to

795

Speaker 1: seventy five yard drive in two twenty four. All five

803
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: plays were runs. Aldrick Rossas tacked on the extra point.

804
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Giants had a seven nothing lead after both teams went

805
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: three and out. Bills took over at their own twenty

806
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: five slowly began solving the Giants defense. Buffalo face just

807
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: one third down as they leaned on a balanced attack.

808
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: Five run plays, five pass plays, highlighted by a Josh

809
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: Allen twenty six yards strike deep down the left side

810
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: of the field to a wide open Isaiah McKenzie that

811
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 1: put the Bills at the Giants twenty two yard line,

812
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: and three plays later, on a first intent at the eleven,

813
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Alan scrambled for five setting up a second at five

814
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: at the six. Much like the Giants, the Bills decided

815
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: to go with what was working. Second and five at

816
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: the Giants six three receivers fan to the near side left,

817
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 1: Alan's gonna run it on a suite, gets the quarter,

818
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: gets a block and is in for a touchdown that

819
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: kept a ten place seventy five yard drive in five

820
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: forty six. Stephen Hausht added the extra point. Game was

821
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: tied at seven after the Giants once again went three,

822
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: and now Buffalo took over at its own thirty picked

823
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: up where it left off on the previous drive. On

824
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: the very first play, Alan connected with tight end Dawson

825
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: Knox for eighteen yards. Then three plays later, on a

826
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: third intent at the Bills forty eight, Alan found John

827
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: Brown for a fourteen yard game and the Bills were

828
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: back in Giants territory on a drive that carried over

829
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: to the start of the set get quarter. Later in

830
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: the drive, Buffalo faced the third and five at the

831
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: New York thirty three. Alan connected with Brown again for

832
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: seven and the Bills had a fresh set of downs.

833
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: They eventually faced yet another third down third and tenant

834
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: to twenty six and Allan's passed the Cole Beasley turned

835
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: into a twelve yard game, good enough for the first

836
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: down as he made a man miss. The Bills went

837
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: three for three on third down on this drive. With

838
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: a passing game clicking, Buffalo turned to the ground attack

839
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: to mix things up. On a first intent at the

840
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: fourteen first intent at the Giants fourteen in the seven

841
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: seven game, but the Bills threatening Alan handoff left for

00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: Singletary gets a block, Baker got pushed away in Singletary

843
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: just walks in for the touchdown that wrapped up at

844
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: eleven place seventy yard drive in four fifteen. How she

845
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: attacked on the extra point, Bills moved in front fourteen seven.

846
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: After the Giants punted for the third straight possession, they

847
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: backed up the Bills all the way at their own two.

848
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: While that wasn't a problem for Buffalo. On second and

849
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: nine from the three, Alan hooked up with Brown for

850
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: fifteen yards. Then later in the drive, on first intent

851
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: at the thirty one, Allen found Za Jones for fourteen

852
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills were once again moving the chains. After

853
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: a holding penalty backed up Buffalo to its own thirty five,

854
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: Allen once again found a way to dig them out

855
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: of a hole. Is he connected with Beasley for a

856
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: fifty one yard game. So the Bills were knocking on

857
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: the door again. First and tenant to New York fourteen

858
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: Giants defense in desperate need of a stop. First and

859
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: teneth the Giant fourteen little end around the Mackenzie. He

860
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: gets a block, Peppers gets pushed out of the way,

861
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: man handle the Mackenzie is in for the rushing touchdown. Yes,

862
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: it was that type of an afternoon for the Giants

863
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: defense that kept a seven play, nine yard drive in

864
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: four twenty six, three straight possessions, three straight touchdowns for

865
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. House headed the extra point in Buffalo pended

866
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: its lead one seven. That would be the score at

867
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: the have skip ahead to the fourth. It was now

868
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: fourteen Bills after the Giants put together at twelve place

869
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: seventy six yard drive that milk six seventeen off the

870
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: clock and was capped off by Eli Manning four yard

871
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: touchdown pass to t J. Jones in the back of

872
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: the end zone. Following a touchback on the ensuing kickoff,

873
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo took over at its own twenty five and it's

874
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: a one score game. The Bills eventually got down to

875
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: the thirty eight, where they faced a second and nine.

876
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's pass intended for z Jones fell in complete,

877
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: but Genor's Jenkins was called for a hold and the

878
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: Bills got a fresh set of downs. Later in the drive,

879
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: on a third and six on the New York forty,

880
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: Alan connected with ground for seventeen yards, and on the

881
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: very next play, single Arry pushed his way through the

882
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: Giants defense for a twenty yard pick up that made

883
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: it first and goal at the three, which would become

884
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: third and goal at the three. Allen's pass felling complete,

885
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: so on fourth and goal, Sean McDermott turned to his

886
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: field goal unit for a twenty one yard attempt. How

887
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: Schod delivered, but on that attempt, Dexter Lawrence was called

888
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: for unnecessary roughness for going over the center. Instead of

889
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: fourteen Bills lead, they now had a fresh set of downs.

890
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: At the two, Frank Gore picked up a yard and

891
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: on the next play the Bills once again fed their

892
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: veteran back two tight ends to the right. Alan is

893
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: for Gorey runs left and runs over Connolly for the touchdown.

894
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: He said that rookie so Frank Gore pops it in

895
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: and how the Bills are an extra point away from

896
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,840

Speaker 1: once in a lifetime experiences with Verizon up only on Verizon,

924
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: and I bring it Carl Banks as we continue to recap,

925
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: and oh and to start for the Giants, and Carl

926
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: it goes without saying the defensive struggles continued, and we'll

927
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: get to that in a little bit, but I want

928
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: to start on the offensive side of the ball. This

929
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: is a Giants offense that now has failed to reach

930
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: twenty points in each of the first two games seventeen

931
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys fourteen against the Bills. Now, Buffalo certainly

932
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: has had a well documented strong defense over the last

933
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: few years, but the third down struggles have been an

934
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: absolute killer. They are now five of twenty three in

935
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: the first two games, combined, and a lot of it

936
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: is not necessarily car what the opposition is doing, but

937
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: it's them shooting themselves in the foot, drop passes, penalties,

938
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: and so forth. Well, you know, I mentioned that during

939
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: our broadcasts, our game broadcast is that when you're down players,

940
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: the margin of era is very slim. You've got to

941
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: be hyper focused on the little things and every person,

942
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: every coach, you've got to approach it that way because

943
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: you can still opportunities when you're down, but then they

944
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: are the ones that you can't. You just have to

945
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: have when the players right, the quarterback got you in

946
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: the right area and you drop the ball, kills a drive.

947
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: Now you're punning, or the next possession there's a penalty.

948
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: Now you're backed up even more. You just can't operate

949
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: that way when you are a team that's struggling to

950
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: get some type of rhythm. Margin Ferrer is minute. It's

951
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: almost non existent at this point, especially even on the

952
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. And you know that brings

953
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: us to that facet of the team because you could

954
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: also argue car penalties hurt that part of the team.

955
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: And this is the second straight week, if you remember

956
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, it was a seven game, and Dallas

957
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: put together another touchdown drive last week and the Giants

958
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: picked up two defensive penalties which helped continue to drive.

959
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: It was Tad Davis a holding call on a second

960
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: and twenty. It gave the Cowboys a free, fresh set

961
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: of downs, and then later in the drive, Marcus Golden

962
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: defensive off side. Instead of a third and nine, it's

963
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: a third and four. Dak Presscott runs for eight. So

964
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,439
Speaker 1: what happens today this is defense slash special teams, Carl

965
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence. You hold Buffalo to a field goal and

966
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: instead they're able to punch it in eventually for a touchdown.

967
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and and in the process, there are two

968
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: things that happened on that particular drive. You got a

969
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: holding call on your linebacker out in space on Singletary

970
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: Connolly on Singletary. Well, you say it wasn't that big

971
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: of a deal because it was a five yarder, But

972
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: what did it do? It kept the clock running, gave

973
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: them more opportunities to get down the field, and then

974
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: they continue to go down the field, and then you

975
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: get the one thing that you couldn't have is a

976
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: penalty on a field goal attempt. Now, you give them

977
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: first and goal at the one yard line, they punch

978
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: it in. Now you're down two whole scores instead of

979
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the field with two scores, but fourteen

980
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: as opposed to ten is a lot easier to overcome,

981
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: and Buffalo certainly set the tone in the red zone

982
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: today four or four. It didn't help that the Giants

983
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: also were minus two again and turnover differential. One of

984
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: the things you brought up when we started Mercedes Ben's

985
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: Giants extra point is a lot of people calling for

986
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker the defense to cater to his needs of

987
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: press coverage he did in college because a lot of

988
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: wide open opportunities. Car was seeing over the first two weeks.

989
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 1: What are you seeing? It's not just clearly one player,

990
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: but why is it now? In back to back weeks

991
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing Randall Cobb, Michael Gallup, called Beasley, isamh Mackenzie

992
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: and so forth. Well, I'm gonna give you a short

993
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: version before I give a long version. The kids headed

994
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: swimming right now. He's got so much going on that

995
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: he's some of his players defying instinct natural cornerback instinct. Um.

996
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: The reason you ask people are asking to let him press.

997
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: He didn't do that well either yet. Um when they

998
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: needed him to press Amari Cooper, he backed up and

999
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: opened the door and let him out. Uh. Today they

1000
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: had a couple of situations where he's in press coverage

1001
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 1: just let the guy run, and then the one time

1002
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: he did, he didn't know when to let go. Um. So,

1003
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I think the kid's head is swimming.

1004
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: I think number one, he needs to go home and

1005
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: have one of those, uh, one of those talks like

1006
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: the guy from Saturday Night Live. I'm good enough, I'm

1007
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: strong enough and gard done, and I'm an NFL cornerback

1008
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: because he is. But the thing is, I just think schematically,

1009
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: they've got so much going on that this kid is

1010
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: just doesn't know whether he's coming and going half the time,

1011
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, down in distance plays where there's said a

1012
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: third and eight and he's back twelve and then you know,

1013
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: receiver just runs, turns, catch the ball and then he's

1014
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: still two yards away. Instinctive stuff that he normally does

1015
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: that he knows he knows better. But I think confirmation

1016
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: of the fact that the young man's head is swimming

1017
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: with just too much information they had. I don't know

1018
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: if one of the biggest past plays, they ran a

1019
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: player up to see him in a white receiver up

1020
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: the sideline, and gosh darned if he didn't turn inside

1021
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: and take the guy after scene, and it was contrary

1022
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: to any instincts of a cornerback. You know, you're the

1023
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: outside guy. Why would you ever with a guy streaking

1024
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: right by you turned to go to the guy on

1025
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: the inside where the safety sitting. And that told me

1026
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: right there that there's so much confusion on that that

1027
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: has headed women fifty one yard play. Yeah, for Carl Beasley, like,

1028
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't any trickery. He was already lined up out

1029
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: there and he for some reason turned inside and and

1030
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You're the outside guy, You're a corner.

1031
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: It defies instincts to turn a guy loose up the

1032
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: sideline to take a guy running in the middle of

1033
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: the field. You can't do that. So he's got to

1034
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: get his confidence back. But I believe they've got to

1035
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: simplify this defense. I don't know what the profile of

1036
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: this defense are they man, are they cover? Two? Are

1037
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: they covered? Three? Are the blitz? They don't? They just

1038
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a you know, we'll see. We'll

1039
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: take it as we go. All type defense. They don't

1040
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: have a base, and I think they need to establish

1041
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: that for the sake of some of these young players,

1042
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: especially when the fundamentals are also breaking down. Because not

1043
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: only did you mention the Cole Beasley fifty one yard game,

1044
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: there was another play on the opposite side of the field.

1045
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: They dump it off to Beasley and then you have

1046
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to prevent him from getting the first down

1047
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: a mis tackle, he forces a guy to be missed,

1048
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: and he picks up the first down. So those breakdowns

1049
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: too certainly coming back to haunt the New York Giants,

1050
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: and it will be very interesting to see how they

1051
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: regroup as they go back on the road to face

1052
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucketeers next Sunday. Well, we are gonna

00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: is the telephone number. As will be fielding your phone

1076
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: calls as we move along here on Giants Extra Point.

1077
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: And let's open up the lines as we check in

1078
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: with Stewart, who is in Brooklyn. Stewart, welcome, to w

1079
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: f An, what do you got for us? A lance

1080
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: called blob Three points that I wanted to make. Um.

1081
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: One is I don't understand Shermer. You know, after the

1082
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: Giant's got a seven nothing lead, every drive since they

1083
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, they had thrown more than they ran.

1084
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: They ran like five straight plays to two to get

1085
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I just don't understand it. And my second

1086
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: point is with Fetcher's defense, it is it is anything

1087
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: but but but aggressive. I mean, you're giving a fifteen

1088
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: yard cushioning while sending six guys. I mean, the offense

1089
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: is going to convert every time, but they're just making

1090
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: it too easy for the opposing offense. And and my

1091
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: third point is, you know the Giants cannot continue to

1092
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: lin DeAndre Baker up beyond the first down marker and

1093
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: giving away easy completions. Uh. And on first down, you

1094
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: can't keep letting the Bills get furd in ten and

1095
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: a ferd and six on a on a dry so

1096
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: the go ahead touchdown. I don't disagree with you anything

1097
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: you said there. Um, I think the more you can

1098
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: make st. Kwan Barkley a clear and present threat to

1099
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 1: a defense, it opened things up. It keeps your offense

1100
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: and rhythm because even if they stop him for a

1101
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: two yard game, three yard game, they're all on higher

1102
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 1: alert every time there's a threat to get him the ball.

1103
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: And that's you know, when they were trying to come

1104
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: back and get the thing within a one score game,

1105
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: that was type the type of offense they were running.

1106
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: As it relates to the defense and DeAndre Baker. I

1107
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: just told Lance a few seconds ago, I think his

1108
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: head is swimming. He is doing things that defy the

1109
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,479
Speaker 1: cornerback position. And he's a pretty good corner them and out,

1110
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: but he's done things. I saw things today that just

1111
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: defies logic in terms of, you know, your instincts as

1112
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: a corner. When they had the fifty one yard um play,

1113
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: the fifty one yard passed to Cole Beasley, he's the

1114
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: outside guy, the furthest guy on the offense. You're the

1115
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 1: furthest guy on the defense. There's no reason, no reason

1116
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: that a cornerback would turn inside and let a guy

1117
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: run Scott Free down the sideline. That defies his instincts

1118
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: as a corner. And that tells me that he's got

1119
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: way too much information in his head that he's trying

1120
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: to process, and it's gotta be it's gotta go back

1121
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: to being as simple as playing cornerback for him. And

1122
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: right now I think he's he's processing a lot um

1123
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 1: and he's defying whatever his instincts ever were as a corner,

1124
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: because you would never if if he didn't know what

1125
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: the defense call was and you said, okay, just go

1126
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: out there and play corner, he would cover the whitest

1127
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: guy on the field running down the sideline, Scott Free.

1128
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: So it just doesn't make sense to me why he

1129
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: would turn in on the guy and leave a guy

1130
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: on the outside as a corner. And he's a pretty

1131
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: good corner coming out of college, and I still believe

1132
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: he is, but he's just he's his brain is locked

1133
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: right now in my opinion. Um, I haven't that chance

1134
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: talked to him, but I can tell the way he's playing.

1135
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's a press corner. Don't have confidence in

1136
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: his ability to press now. And then the one time

1137
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: he did it today effectively he got called for holding

1138
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: because he didn't want to let the guy go. So

1139
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, down in distance, he's a pretty good corner.

1140
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: He's got good coaching coming out of college. If it's

1141
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: third and eight, you're not gonna be at fourteen coming

1142
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: back up to make the play. You're gonna put your

1143
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: heels at the first down marker and play the still.

1144
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: But he's beyond the first down marker and coming up

1145
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: to try to make a tackle. Those are just not

1146
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: things that this kid wouldn't normally do. I just think

1147
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: his head is spinning. There's way too much information for

1148
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 1: him right now. Uh and it needs to be simplified

1149
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: and he needs to get back to having that conversation

1150
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: with himself. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dark gunning.

1151
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm an NFL corner because right now he's not. He's

1152
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: just he's a guy that's just got a lot going on.

1153
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: And appreciate the foe coast toward. Thanks so much for

1154
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 1: weighing in. Eight seven seven three three seven sixty six

1155
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: sixty six. Is we're recapping the gianteen loss to the

1156
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: Bills here at MetLife Stadium. Let's head back to the

1157
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: phone lines. We check in with Robbie and Lenox. Robbie,

1158
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: welcome aboard to w f AN. What do you got

1159
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: for us, hey, gentlemen, Well, thank you for taking my call.

1160
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and arrest my voice from screaming at

1161
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,479
Speaker 1: coach Shermer. Guys a couple of points. First of all,

1162
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: we all know this is a bad defensive unit. We

1163
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: all know that's a working progress. Okay, but I think

1164
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: they should switch to a four four three defense because

1165
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: in the four three D and thirty four demons you

1166
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: have to have linebacking, and it's obvious this team does

1167
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: not have good linebackers. Okay, but my problem with Shermer

1168
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. You know, say, Kawon Barkley is probably

1169
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: the art will be the best running back in the NFL. Okay,

1170
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: this game turned when this knucklehead decided that he was

1171
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna put Barkley on the bench when he was a

1172
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: second down at five. You have to plays to make

1173
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: five yards run the football. We all know, you know,

1174
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: back in when the car was playing. We all know

1175
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: the Giants lack of the pass ruge back when they

1176
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl five. So what did Bill Parcels do?

1177
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: He kept killing and the builds off the field by

1178
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: smash mouthing them and playing a control football. And the

1179
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: other thing is that when you have a limited amount

1180
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: of receivers and Carl was saying this because I listened

1181
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: to Bob and Carl all through the broadcast today and

1182
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: he was saying, how when you have a lack of

1183
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: receivers that your vent your mistake margin is very, very minimal.

1184
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: And how many times called did you and Bob say,

1185
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: give it to Barkley, Give it to Barkley. This coach

1186
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: is Clue's. He makes Ben McAdoo look like Tom Landry. Okay,

1187
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: this is a bad coach. Team mistakes after mistakes, bad penalties.

1188
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: This has been going This has been going on for

1189
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: two years. This has been going on for a long

1190
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: time with every regime that the Giants have put in

1191
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: the last few years. And I'm sick and tired of

1192
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: watching Shermoer not used Barkley in situations where you can

1193
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: use them. And I have to say this personally, with

1194
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: no offense to Eli Manning. It's not all his fault.

1195
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: But it's time to see Daniel Jones. It's time to

1196
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: move on to the kid. It really is time. And

1197
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 1: that's just my thoughts. All getry thoughts and thank you

1198
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: as always, you guys do a great job, all right,

1199
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: Robbie appreciate the phone call. In terms of Kwan Barkley

1200
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: one touches today compared to fifteen in the last game,

1201
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: and I think he was referring to a circumstance earlier

1202
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: in the game. It was a second at five at

1203
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: the Giants thirty five, and then it was a third

1204
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: and five. But remember then there was a penalty on T. J.

1205
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: Jones false start, and all of a sudden, the third

1206
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: and five becomes a third and ten, which has been

1207
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: a troubling issue for this team, Carl in terms of

1208
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: them shooting themselves in the foot, especially even when it

1209
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: seems as if they're in manageable third downs down in

1210
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: distance wise. Well, that's that's the problem. Um this team,

1211
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: when you know you can't make a lot of mistakes,

1212
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: tend to find ways to make mistakes. And they don't

1213
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: know the urgency or the sense of urgency of what

1214
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: they're up against, and they don't play like they have

1215
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: a sense of urgency. They came out the first drive

1216
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: and did well, but as the as the game went on,

1217
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: it just kinda it waned and it just became football.

1218
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: You've got to have a sense of urgency the entire game.

1219
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 1: When you don't have a um a great margin for error,

1220
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: carl Um from an offensive standpoint, like, you know, they

1221
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: had the script and they moved the ball down the

1222
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: field and come out in the next series and start

1223
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: doing some different things. Why why why do teams kind

1224
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: of get away from a series of plays that worked? Um, Bob,

1225
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I think that's that's a matter of you. You've got

1226
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: to ask the coach that you know. I'm from the

1227
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: school of if it ain't broke, don't break it, and

1228
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: if it's working, keep going at it until they stop it.

1229
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 1: And I just don't know. I mean, there's so many

1230
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: good things, so much momentum that they generated, and I'm

1231
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: sure the defense was on its heels. You did him

1232
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: a favor by going away from some of those things

1233
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that that was working. So um, I can't answer it, Um,

1234
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: But like I said, if it don't if it ain't broke,

1235
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: don't break it. It's my philosophy. And you know, one

1236
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: of the problems with Giants are haven't lench to talk

1237
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: about third downs? And Eli talked about it after the game.

1238
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: There are five for twenty two on third downs this year,

1239
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: which is a horrible percentage. But all those twenty two attempts,

1240
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: ten have been nine plus they're old for ten of

1241
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: nine plus, they got nobody that can really threaten you.

1242
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I was talking with that about that with Victor cruz

1243
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Um on the TV post game. But man, if you're

1244
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna put yourself in third and ten because of a

1245
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: penalty or whatever the case might be, a drop pass

1246
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: or something on second down that leads the third intent,

1247
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: this team doesn't have a great eracer in the passing

1248
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: game that you can make up third intent. No, you don't.

1249
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: And that's the reality. These are the things that I

1250
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: am most concerned with, Bob, is that they don't really

1251
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: realize that they don't have a guy who can all

1252
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden erase a bad penalty that took you

1253
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: from a third and five and now you're a third

1254
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: intent and you can go to a guy and he

1255
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: can make it happen for you. They don't have that.

1256
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: They've got to play with a sense of urgency. They've

1257
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: got to play with a great deal of of um,

1258
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,280
Speaker 1: focus on the little things because they can't afford to

1259
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: put themselves in positions where they don't have plays or

1260
01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: players to get them out of predicaments. And didn't help

1261
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: matters on that subject is when Cody Latimer had to

1262
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: leave the game with a concussion because to Bob's point,

1263
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 1: you can certainly argue they may not have vertical threats

1264
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: after the injuries that they've suffered with Sterling Shepard and

1265
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Golden Tate having to serve a four game suspension, but

1266
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: at least Lattimer gives them the ability to somewhat stretch

1267
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: the field, especially what he did last week when he

1268
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: had that forty three yard grab against the Cowboys. Well,

1269
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: let's look at let's look at down the stretch here.

1270
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: There were at least three times were you like, through

1271
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: a receiver open and a receiver couldn't get there. You

1272
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: know's the one that you were commenting on the broadcast

1273
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: to t J. Jones on the left side. Um, so

1274
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: it is, it is what it is, But you can't

1275
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: put yourself in these situations. Again, I think the offensive

1276
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: line did a They accounted for themselves relatively well against

1277
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: the good front um. They ran the ball well at

1278
01:03:56,200 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: times when they needed to, but they needed to stay

1279
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: more of a threat with the run. I just you know,

1280
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: but for me, it's it's not complimentary football. I think

1281
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: when you're a unit down, meaning your offense, and you've

1282
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: got more healthy players on defense, and you can't seem

1283
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: to hold the rope enough to even get the ball

1284
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: back to your offense. You got a problem, you know,

1285
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: And that's that's what it is. You gotta be able,

1286
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: as my good friend Eric says, hold the rope, just

1287
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: don't let it go. Hold the rope, and you know,

1288
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: give give your guys a chance to get back out

1289
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,479
Speaker 1: there and and to keep a little momentum going. But Carl,

1290
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: is some of that a function of the fact that

1291
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: the front seven doesn't have a legitimate stud I mean,

1292
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: there's not a little I mean, you know, when the

1293
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: when the rubber meets the road and you need somebody

1294
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: to really put the hammer down, who's the guy? I mean,

1295
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Carter so far through the first two games, they

1296
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: were they were projecting big things from him, like he

1297
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be a dominant pastors all over the field.

1298
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Right now, he's playing like a guy out there. I mean,

1299
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Golden is a guy you're hoping from a couple of

1300
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: years ago coming off in the injury. Ogiltree is a

1301
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: good player. Um, But there's not one guy that they

1302
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 1: have in that front seven that the other teams cracking

1303
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 1: on the tape and going, oh damn, we gotta deal

1304
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: with this today. Well, I'll tell you this State built

1305
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 1: the defense inside out with guys like Dexter Lawrence Dalvin Thomason.

1306
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: But the problem is they don't have anything they can

1307
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 1: sink their their teeth in. What is the profile of

1308
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: this defense from that one down to the next. Are

1309
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: they one gap team, too, gap team, stunt team? What

1310
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: is their cover profile? I think it's cute you know

1311
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: that the opponent that know what you are. But when

1312
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: your team, when your players don't know, are not effectively

1313
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: executing the randomness of your defense, then you got a problem.

1314
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: You gotta establish your personality. What is your defensive personality?

1315
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Well on that subject,

1316
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: Carl and once again piggybacking off of Bob's point about

1317
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: having that home run hit or in the pass rush.

1318
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: If you look at what James Betcher worked with in

1319
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: Arizona when perhaps you were looking for, well what it

1320
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: was the identity of his defense? He at least had

1321
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, he had Grady Racers. Like Bob said, listen,

1322
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: they could have very easily been turning guys loosening to Arizona,

1323
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: and they never found him because the pressure got there.

1324
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: They had guys who were really that dominant. But it's

1325
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: the same thing when you don't have when you don't

1326
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: have the talent base that you come from that you

1327
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: build your reputation on, you better damn well have something

1328
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: that your team can be effective with. You just can't say, well,

1329
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: this is what I did, and this is how it's

1330
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: supposed we know how supposed to work. When you get

1331
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: better players, it probably will work better. But what do

1332
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 1: you have now? What can you give DeAndre Baker is

1333
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: not Patrick Peterson at this stage of his career. What

1334
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: can he handle? You know that that's what you gotta

1335
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: really look at. And I'm not knocking Betcher. It's a

1336
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: combination of both players and coaches because they're in it together.

1337
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: You know, if the coaches don't miss the tackles, the

1338
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: coaches don't play poor technique. But it comes to point

1339
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: to where if the techniques are so poor and they're

1340
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: not getting any better, you gotta examine how you're coaching

1341
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: them too. Patrick Peterson's another good one. Tyrann Matthew, he

1342
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: had on the back end day on Buchanan. You got

1343
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: you got four game changes on the field at the

1344
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: same time. They can erase a lot of things and

1345
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 1: it makes a scheme come together and you can turn

1346
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a few guys. Listen, don't have to worry about it

1347
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: because the quarterback won't have time to get there. Eight

1348
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: seven seven three three seven sixty six sixty six. Let's

1349
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: head back to the phone lines. We check it with

1350
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Tom on Long Island. Tom, Welcome to w f AN.

1351
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: What you got for us? Hey? First off, Carl Big Fanny,

1352
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: who has really really love what you put out there

1353
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I think you're great. To keep it going, man, Um,

1354
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I got a comment, and then I got a question.

1355
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: My first question is Um, you know right now everybody

1356
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: wants to gang up on Elin. I go back to

1357
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: that earlier caller that says it's time the city live

1358
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones. ELI doesn't feel comfortable with the wide

1359
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: receiver she's got out there right now because they're not

1360
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: catching the ball. Opportunities weren't dropped today. This team should

1361
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: have been tied with the Bills going in a half time,

1362
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: but you had uh inexperienced wide receiver dropped the ball

1363
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: on the far sideline, the giant sideline going into the

1364
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: end of the first half. There's just you can't blink

1365
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: you out for these mistakes. My comment is, if we're

1366
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: gonna start holding people accountable, Carl Shermer's gotta go. He's done.

1367
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: I am sick of this guy. There is no identity

1368
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: with this team. You know, for years everybody wanted to

1369
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: laugh at kind of Tom Well, Tom Coughlin, and we

1370
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: screating an identity in New York for Giants football. You

1371
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: came in here and you respected the Giants. There is

1372
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 1: not a person in this country that respects this franchise.

1373
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 1: And it kills me because this team used to have standards.

1374
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: We've got nuts. And if Suman doesn't by the time

1375
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: we're in October, Jez got to go. Not Eli. Thanks guys. Well,

1376
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: I mean, Carl, listen, if you're watching the game on

1377
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: TV where you're listening hopefully here on the radio, I mean,

1378
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: how many times were it where there were plays that

1379
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: you can see here in the stadium there's nobody open. Yeah,

1380
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: And I and my question, you know, before before we

1381
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 1: before we're getting rid of Eli here, just think about

1382
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: half of his completions today. Half of his completions today

1383
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:54,799
Speaker 1: were completions where guys were draped all over the back

1384
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: of the receivers and they made either a tough catch,

1385
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 1: he made a good throw whatever. Adversely, last week and

1386
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 1: this week, look at all the open throws that Josh

1387
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: Allen had two guys on the run on the go.

1388
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and I said this. I mentioned this to

1389
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 1: Victor cruz Sake today. He was one of the first

1390
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: times that I can remember well, I felt like Eli

1391
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: was a little frustrated out there. After the game, he

1392
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: made his comments, and yeah, we gotta do better on

1393
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: third down. We're gonna but he's expecting guys to come

1394
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: out of breaks. He's expecting guys that they're not there.

1395
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: Like that pass play the Fouler, the deep ball, Carl,

1396
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: I think you're You're analysis of it was perfect. He

1397
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 1: looked at the coverage. He said, I gotta I got

1398
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: a single up guy here on a deep post. I'm

1399
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: throwing the deep post. For some reason, Fowler stopped running

1400
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty yards down field, and then when he realized the

1401
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 1: ball was coming to him, he started running again. In

1402
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: the balls eight yards incomplete, Like I mean, I don't

1403
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 1: know to find me a quarterback coach that would have

1404
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: said that the quarterback made a bad decision, you know,

1405
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: And fairness to all, we haven't heard a lot about

1406
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: uh Eli being the problem in this game, so I mean,

1407
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: it is what it is. They're a team. Um it's

1408
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: a team problem. It's a team problem. It's just as

1409
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 1: simple as that. And you know, you sometimes got to

1410
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: play the cards you dealt well. These players have got

1411
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: to be better at what they're doing. Coaches have got

1412
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: to evaluate how they're coaching the talent level and what

1413
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 1: they're emphasizing. Um, because they're I don't know if they're

1414
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: getting back what they're putting an emphasis on, and I

1415
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: don't think they're putting emphasis on making a lot of mistakes.

1416
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: But they've got to really really go and take a

1417
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: look at how this thing is shaping up. Because it's

1418
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: it's early late or late early, I should say. The

1419
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: problem that they're having is with the receiver's hurt and

1420
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: with them not having Golden Tad who that suspension really

1421
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: hurts something. They're slating Slaton, who they drafted to be

1422
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: a deep threat. He almost never practices hamstring in um

1423
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: so not having these weapons offensively, it's a terrible combination.

1424
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Because we knew going into the year that the defense

1425
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 1: was gonna be a big question mark. The premise was, hey,

1426
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: with Barkley, with Ingram, with Tate, with Sterling Shepard, hopefully

1427
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: Slaton could add something as another weapon that they would

1428
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball, score and have to

1429
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: outscore people because it can't really stop people. But now

1430
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: you've got a combination of now everything is you know,

1431
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,840
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, you know, they're just what is it

1432
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: with this offense? They keep checking it down. There's no

1433
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:43,480
Speaker 1: place else to go with the football. We are straddling

1434
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line at MetLife, so you've got the

1435
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 1: best view in the house, and you're we're watching the

1436
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: game and he's throwing it to Ellison or Ingram Underneath,

1437
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 1: we're looking down field. Everybody's plastered. Yeah, there's not even

1438
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: a place to take a chance. Well, and then thinking,

1439
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, speaking of a start we'll get into with

1440
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 1: the defense is failing in one simple technique quarterback scrambles

1441
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: absolutely Dak Prescott in terms of his mobility, and then

1442
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: follow that up with Josh Allen today when we come back,

1443
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of the other defensive breakdowns that

1444
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: ultimately led to the Bill victory over the Giants. Also

1445
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: get you caught up with what is happening around the

1446
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: NFL in Week two. Plush your calls at eight seven

1447
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: seven three seven sixties sixty six. We'll be back right after.

1448
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: This is DeAndre Baker listened to Giants football on the

Speaker 1: of the final scores from earlier today. Will start in

1455
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,759
Speaker 1: terms of the game's currently in progress with the Bears

1456
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: of the Broncos in Denver. It is Chicago in front

1457
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,799
Speaker 1: of Denver six to three with just under twenty seconds

1458
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: to go in the second quarter. Also, later the second quarter,

1459
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs cruising past the Raiders to ten, and it

1460
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: is the Rams leading to Saints six to three. That

1461
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: score also late in the second quarter. Everything else went final.

1462
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Earlier today, the Colts held off the Titans nineteen seventeen.

1463
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: It was the Cowboys thirty one, Redskins twenty one Dak

1466
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to settle an. He had three catches for

1467
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: thirty six yards on New England's very first drive. Leader

1468
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,200

Speaker 1: also added over one hundred yards on the ground. Packers

1478
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:25,679
Speaker 1: took care of the Vikings sixteen. Aaron Rodgers two touchdown passes.

01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: left the game late in the first half of the

1482
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: right elbow injury. He was replaced by Mason Rudolph as

1483
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh off to an O and to start. So that

1484
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: is what is happening around the NFL. It was the

1485
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: NFL and Action brought to you by Bigelow t the

1486
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: tea of choice of Phil Sims and Bob Papa. So

1487
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: I think Adam van Arry might retire to borrow yeah,

1488
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: number of misses field goals and extra points. Well, after

1489
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: the game, he uh, well on the media members said

1490
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: he said that someone wants to talk to him, and

1491
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: he said, I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. And the reporter,

1492
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I think it was Stephen Holder of the Athletic and Indiapolis,

1493
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: said well, you guys aren't available to us tomorrow. He goes,

1494
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: I'll be available for you guys tomorrow. Yep, he's probably

1495
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: going to call it a day. So the Indianapolis Colts

1496
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: have already lost their quarterback before the season started to retirement,

1497
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: and now ultimately they lose their starting kicker to retire. Well,

1498
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 1: you know they say kickers come, kickers go. But when

1499
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: you get a good when you keep them. I've been

1500
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: a part of teams with revolving doors as kickers, so

1501
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: no good. We welcome you back to Mercedes Benz Giants

1502
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: extra point alongside Bob Poppi Carl banks On Lance Medal

1503
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: is the Bill's top the Giant. Eight seven seven three

1504
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,799
Speaker 1: three seven sixties six sixty six is the telephone number

1505
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: for every first down recorded by the Giants offense this season.

1506
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Stop and Shop will donate one hundred dollars to regional

1507
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: food banks in the New York metro area. Giants first

1508
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: down total for today's game twenty one. That makes forty

1509
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: six total first downs this season, raising a total of

1510
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 1: four thousand, six hundred dollars. Stopped Shop the official supermarket

1511
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,799
Speaker 1: of the New York Giants. Let's head back to the lines.

1512
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: We check in with Vinny in West Babylon. Vinny, welcome

1513
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: to w f A. And when he got for us? Hello, gentlemen.

1514
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: All right, Baker is swimming in his own mind, but

1515
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: but it's clear everybody is back there. They need to

1516
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: simplify what they're doing on defense. Play the corners, press

1517
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: one high safety, one low safety, one spy and bring

1518
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,759
Speaker 1: the rest at the very least on downs where passing

1519
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: is obvious, and and when will Sherma learn how to

1520
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: use his tight ends on third and on third and three,

1521
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:56,679
Speaker 1: on on third and short. Well, wait a second, let's

1522
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: let's go here with this, Carl, because there was one

1523
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 1: plug where they threw the ball to evaning him on

1524
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: the third and three and a game two yards. That's

1525
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 1: on Ingram making sure you're getting to the sticks and

1526
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: passed it so that the quarterback and throw it to you.

1527
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Eli looks at him, he breaks out of

1528
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: his route. Eli throws it to him. Ingram catches the ball,

1529
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 1: tackle the yard short. If nothing else, he should be

1530
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: able to tackle and fall forward because he's catching the

1531
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: bar right at the sticks. Um. And the other reason

1532
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: why you're not seeing the tight end with the ball.

1533
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,519
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills weren't crazy. They knew that that was

1534
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: the best receiver. He got the double coverage today. The

1535
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: other guys didn't get double coverage. It was at an Ingram. Um.

1536
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say about your your your

1537
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:48,360
Speaker 1: defensive game plan. I don't think you have quite the

1538
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: idea of of of how it works with what you're

1539
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: talking about, But I get your point. Something needs to

1540
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,760
Speaker 1: change and it has to be you know, fundamentals and

1541
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: to be a simplification. And I've said it for the

1542
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: last two weeks that they've got to simplify this, get

1543
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: them in something that everybody can play. Like I said,

1544
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: anytime you see a cornerback, a really good cornerback, top

1545
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: nation's top cornerback coming out of college, turn inside on

1546
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,639
Speaker 1: a guy going up to scene when there is a

1547
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver running down the sideline, then you know there's

1548
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: something wrong with what you you've given this guy because

1549
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: there's way too much information because instinctively, it goes against

1550
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: anything you've ever learned as a cornerback to turn your

1551
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 1: back on the outside receiver and run to an inside

1552
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 1: guy while the other guy just runs down the sideline.

1553
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: So that tells me they they've got to make some

1554
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: adjustments in this coaching. You can't say it's my scheme, dammit,

1555
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: run it because the information you're giving it's too much

1556
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: for these kids to handle at this moment. And you've

1557
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: got to be you gotta be smart enough to say, hey, okay,

1558
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: I can get him in something they can all play,

1559
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: something they can play fast, and something he's not overthinking.

1560
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: But when you have. Like I said, you know you've

1561
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: hit the worst of it. When a cornerback can turn

1562
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,600
Speaker 1: his back on a outside receiver to run up the

1563
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: scene with an inside receiver. That tells me that that

1564
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 1: is not this kid not knowing how to play corner

1565
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: I've seen him. He just got way too much information

1566
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: in his head. You know. Going back and forth about

1567
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker, not to get completely off topic, but it's

1568
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: reminding me of Vernon Hargraves, another player that comes to mind,

1569
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: who's now with the tam Bay Buccaneers. Early in his career,

1570
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,640
Speaker 1: it was a similar issue. They weren't asking him to

1571
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: do what he was used to doing in college talking no, no, no, no,

1572
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,600
Speaker 1: he stops there. It's they're never gonna ask you to

1573
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: do what you do. You're drafted to come in and

1574
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: play pro sports, and if you're drafted high, it's because

1575
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: you have the ability to do more than one thing.

1576
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: But you've got to have players an opportunity to be

1577
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: good at what they do. They got to be able

1578
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: to play fast. If you can play press coverage, you

1579
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: can play his own coverage zone coverage a lot easier.

1580
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, Um, this kid smart enough, but you can't

1581
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 1: put him in press if he's not even pressing a

1582
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: guy anyway, you know another guy we got to talk

1583
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: about Carl And maybe it's still he's getting used to

1584
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:25,839
Speaker 1: the new defense surrounding Jabral Pepper has been a non factor,

1585
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: whereas the safety been a factor in anything, any of

1586
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the safeties. No, but I mean noever. This this to

1587
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: me is the alarm that sounds that says they've got

1588
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 1: to just what what their giving these players? Because if

1589
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: you're best player that you brought and I and I

1590
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: still think it's health football player. If he's not involved

1591
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 1: in a lot of plays, then there's telling. If something's

1592
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: telling me that they got way too much on their play,

1593
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: give them simplified, Give them all something they can play,

1594
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 1: something they can be good at. You'll see the difference.

1595
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be complicated. Like I said, you

1596
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 1: don't even you couldn't. No one can tell me what

1597
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: the profile of this giant defense is. If you ask

1598
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: any coach in the league, So coach, uh, what kind

1599
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: of defensive giants play that? A little bit of this,

1600
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Were they're good at? Well,

1601
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: they you know, get a few guys free every once

1602
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: in a while, but not really anything. But you talked

1603
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: to you know, good defenses have profiles. Oh they're covered

1604
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: two team, or they're a good strong man team. Oh

1605
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: they got they got great inside linebackers, they can get

1606
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: this is. Oh, they'll give you a little bit of this,

1607
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. They'll blitz, they'll do this.

1608
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: What's your profile? What are you good at? You? You? You?

1609
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 1: You focus on what you're good at, and then you

1610
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: expand from there. But right now, I don't see any

1611
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: of that. They don't have a profile. It's just and

1612
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: and I'm listen. I'm not bashing better because I think

1613
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: he's real in um, but I think he has to

1614
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: make some adjustments. But when you come in with a

1615
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: grab bag of plays and a lot of different rules,

1616
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: two different things for defensive backs on a weekly basis,

1617
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: especially young ones, they just don't process that information that way.

1618
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to give them something, all

1619
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: of them, get them into something that they can all

1620
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: do well, and then expand from there. We will step

1621
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 1: beside when we come back. We'll get more into the

1622
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,799
Speaker 1: Bills victory over the Giants from a defensive standpoint, especially

1623
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: dealing with Josh Allen, the mobile quarterback and how he

1624
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: was able to extend that numerous plays today to keep

1625
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: Bill's drives alive. We'll get into that as well as

1626
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: look ahead to the next matchup for the Giants, the

1627
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucketeers, as they had on the road to

1628
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium next Sunday eight seven seven three three

1629
01:23:54,360 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: seven sixty six sixty six. We'll be back right after this.

1630
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: This is Pat Shermer and you're listening to Giants Football.

1631
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm the fan w f A n and w f

1632
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: A n f M New York alongside Bob Pop and

1633
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Carl Banks. Some Lance Meadow could to be with you

1634
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: as we are recapping the bill victory over the Giants.

1635
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: As the Giants fall to Owen two for the sixth

1636
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: time in the last seven seasons. They've also now lost

1637
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: three straight regular season home openers. We were talking about

1638
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 1: the defense and the breakdowns across the board over the

1639
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: first two games the car. One of the things you

1640
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier that I want to bring up is

1641
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 1: their trouble against mobile quarterbacks. Well now two straight weeks

1642
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: where we've seen quarterbacks that have the ability to roll

1643
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: out of the pocket extent plays and Allen did a

1644
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 1: lot of that today where even a defender was up

1645
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: in his grill and he was still able to get

1646
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: rid of the football down the field because of some

1647
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: breakdowns on the back end. Well late late in the play,

1648
01:24:54,280 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 1: opportunities presented themselves to to Allen. Now, this isn't the

1649
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: first quarterback that's been mobile. This isn't the first time

1650
01:25:05,120 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: that they've had to deal with late play action. If

1651
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: you will win a quarterback when those plays get extended

1652
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: by a quarterback moving. But there's a thing called plaster rules,

1653
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 1: and I've heard these this this defensive backfield talk about

1654
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 1: plaster rules. Plaster rules, or when the quarterback breaks the pocket,

1655
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 1: you find the closest guy to you on your plaster yourself. Right,

1656
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 1: when Alan scrambled, there were guys wide open. Nobody was plastering.

1657
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 1: So I can't pen that on the coach when I've

1658
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: heard these players talk about plaster rules against scrambling quarterbacks,

1659
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:49,559
Speaker 1: so they're not executing. So it's a failure across the board.

1660
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: And that just tells me again, it speaks to what

1661
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: are you? What is your profile as a defense? Right?

1662
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,799
Speaker 1: You're not I mean, you can't be a grab bag defense.

1663
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: In this league, you gotta be able to do something well,

1664
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,600
Speaker 1: and you gotta be good at the basics because the

1665
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: complicated stuff only confuses your players if they're not good

1666
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,919
Speaker 1: at the basis. Again, and you know, when the quarterbacks

1667
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,320
Speaker 1: starts scrambling, you as a defensive back, if you have

1668
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: the liberty to knock that guy down. You know, as

1669
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: long as the ball is not in the air. Quarterbacks

1670
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: running around, you're near a receiver, you knock them down.

1671
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 1: You knock them out of bounds if you're near the boundary.

1672
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 1: The alarming part, Carl, is there's no one near the

1673
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: guys as he's scrambling to even do that. I know,

1674
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: Well that's part of the Plasta rules. And we saw

1675
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: that lastnet to a guy knock him down. Saw that

1676
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: last week with Sterling Shepherd when Eli Manning was running

1677
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. What the Cowboys do now? They

1678
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: took it to an extreme and tackled Shepherd and it

1679
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,559
Speaker 1: probably should have been a penalty. But they hit them.

1680
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 1: You can hit them, but you know what their profile is,

1681
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 1: their discipline. You know there's something that they've you really well.

1682
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,719
Speaker 1: They hang their hat on every week on this. If nothing,

1683
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 1: if all the hell breaks loose, we're gonna be able

1684
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: to do this. We don't have that conversation here in

1685
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,759
Speaker 1: New York right now. We don't know. I don't think

1686
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 1: some of his players know what they are. I know

1687
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 1: it's safeties, don't know what they are. I know his

1688
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: rookie cornerback doesn't know what they are. You've got to

1689
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: have a profile, and you gotta have something. You hang

1690
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 1: your hat. What are you? What do you do well?

1691
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: Not on play to play basis, Well, this play we

1692
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: were good at this, but we had a breakdown here,

1693
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 1: or we were good. No, we are a physical team.

1694
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: We play strong cover two, or we played cover three,

1695
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:49,759
Speaker 1: or we're blitzing team because we've got good man corners.

1696
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 1: You don't know what you have good on this team

1697
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: on any given place, somebody can play good, but you

1698
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,519
Speaker 1: don't know as a group what they are. What do

1699
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: they do good consistently? Right? And the alarming part, the

1700
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 1: alarming part is now I heard kurch Somemers Schermer say,

1701
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: you know after the game, you know, well, after we

1702
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: stabilize things. You know, we kind of held them down

1703
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 1: in the second half because they had scored midway through

1704
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the second quarter to get to twenty one and then

1705
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: they didn't score again until the fourth quarter. But we

1706
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: saw this last year, we saw this the year before.

1707
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 1: I mean, you get back in the game, you finally

1708
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: have a little positive momentum, and you get within seven

1709
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: with eleven minutes to go in the game, and then

1710
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 1: they use six minutes in three seconds and just stuff

1711
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: it down your throat and make it a two touchdown game. Again.

1712
01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: That's where somebody's got to step up. You gotta have

1713
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 1: a playmaker. You gotta get off the field, all right.

1714
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,719
Speaker 1: You give one first down, I got it. You gotta

1715
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: pinned on the two they go ninety yards on you

1716
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 1: like I love because good friend of mine from Texas,

1717
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: he says, they just got to hold the rope. Just

1718
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: hold the rope their defenses that will allow you to

1719
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: hold the rope where you know you can't give up

1720
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: with x amount. And then you know you gotta force

1721
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 1: a punt or you gotta get a turnover because they

1722
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: can't get past the forty yard line, or they can't

1723
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: get to the fifth yard line, And if they get

1724
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 1: to the forty five right before midfield, we're blitching. We're

1725
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: doing something. And if we're gonna we're gonna zone zone, zone,

1726
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,599
Speaker 1: zone zone. If they're completing some stuff, if they get

1727
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: into an area where they give you to take a

1728
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: shot or change the field position for offense, we're blitzing.

1729
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 1: If we get them stopped, we're off the field. But

1730
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 1: there are rules. We're gonna play sticks. We're gonna play sticks.

1731
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna play sticks. We're gonna play sticks. Oh, their midfield,

1732
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 1: we're blitzing, you know. So there are things you can

1733
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 1: do to hold the road, but this again, you can't.

1734
01:29:55,479 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't know if the coach is

1735
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: frustrated as well also that his players can't execute this.

1736
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 1: But it's a team sport. Everybody's got to be on

1737
01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 1: this same page. It's in everybody's best interests. It's mutually

1738
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,680
Speaker 1: beneficial coaches and players when players play well and they execute,

1739
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,679
Speaker 1: So give them something they can do well. But Bob,

1740
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: you're right, it's been an ongoing trend because even if

1741
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: you go back to the final quarter of last season,

1742
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis game in the Dallas game where you had

1743
01:30:24,920 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: to lead late and then the defense failed to hold

1744
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 1: because the Cold scored the late touchdown and the Cole

1745
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,560
Speaker 1: Beasley touchdown for the Cowboys. You know, even when it

1746
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: looked like the offense was making some strides late last season,

1747
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 1: it was the defense that then could not shut the door.

1748
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: And yeah, we'll laugh at a close game. They average

1749
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 1: twenty eight points a game over the final month of

1750
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 1: the season and they lost all the games. Yeah, so

1751
01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's telling you. Yea. And in contrast,

1752
01:30:48,360 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: because Carl you keep going back to the lack of

1753
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 1: an identity, Well, the Giants went up against two opponents

1754
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 1: of the first two weeks of the season, between the

1755
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Bills, you could point to, well, you

1756
01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 1: can use those teams as post their children of examples

1757
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 1: of what is their identity. If I was to ask you,

1758
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,679
Speaker 1: what's the identity of the Cowboys defense of the Bills defense,

1759
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to stretch, you don't have to search.

1760
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:11,799
Speaker 1: You know, Dallas has very good linebackers, they're well disciplined defense.

1761
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,759
Speaker 1: They stopped to run. The Bills aggressive, good cover corners.

1762
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: You at least know the principles of identity for those

1763
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 1: two teams, and it's not a coincidence that they listen

1764
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: to it. Buffalo is gonna count on their front to

1765
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 1: get pressure They're gonna keep everything in front of them.

1766
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 1: You look at them today, they were in a lot

1767
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: of his own defense. They kept everything in front of them.

1768
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: They had a safety over the top of every ingram.

1769
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 1: But you know what they were. You know what they were.

1770
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 1: But they're aggressive up front. They can do some different

1771
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: things with their linebackers and defensive linemen, but this is

1772
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 1: who they are. This is what you got to be

1773
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 1: with this game of the books. Here's a look at

1774
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,439
Speaker 1: the current standings. Brought to you by Taco bell I

1775
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,439
Speaker 1: have a giant hunter. Pick up a Taco twelfth pack

1776
01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:54,719
Speaker 1: from Taco Belt today. Sometimes you just gotta live moss.

1777
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,680
Speaker 1: So the Cowboys beat the Redskins. They've improved to two

1778
01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: and know they're in sole possession of first place. The

1779
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 1: Eagles are gonn play the Falcons on Sunday Night Football.

1780
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia beat Washington last week, so they hold it one

1781
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 1: to oh and the Giants and the Redskins both oh

1782
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: and two. They're gonna meet in two weeks, But first

1783
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 1: the Giants are going to have to solve the Tampa

1784
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers on the road next week, a team that

1785
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,839
Speaker 1: just won Bob on Thursday Night Football over the Panthers

1786
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: fourteen and really got the job done with their defense. Yeah,

1787
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: they did a good job against Christian McCaffrey, and they

1788
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: dared the outside guys to beat them, and they dared

1789
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: the quarterback to beat him. And the protection wasn't good

1790
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 1: for Cam his throwing accuracy. There's something clearly wrong with him,

1791
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: both with the foot because he didn't run at all,

1792
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,639
Speaker 1: and with his throwing and his surgery that he had

1793
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff with the shoulder. But guess what.

1794
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Every team's gonna come in and play the Giants and say, hey,

1795
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're not gonna let se Kwan Barkley ruin

1796
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 1: the game. And what he got his hundred yards and

1797
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 1: he had, but he wasn't. He didn't ruin the game.

1798
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: He didn't have the explosive plays to ruin the game.

1799
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 1: He had the one and that was it. Um. Look,

1800
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:08,000
Speaker 1: this is a Bucks team that's improved defensively. Their corners

1801
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 1: played great the other night. And again, some of these

1802
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 1: Giants receivers they're gonna have to they gotta win some

1803
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:16,000
Speaker 1: of these matchups that they're getting one on one. And

1804
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: if your quarterback and throw you open, just be there.

1805
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: Just be there out route um to Jones, Hey, just

1806
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,200
Speaker 1: gotta come out of your break the balls right there

1807
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 1: for you. Chris Godwin has been their main weapon in

1808
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 1: the passing game, but they still have I mean, Mike

1809
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,920
Speaker 1: Evans is a stud. It's gotten off to a slow start,

1810
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 1: but I mean they're gonna have their hands full with

1811
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 1: him next week with the way they're playing. And if

1812
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 1: you keep your hands off Mike Evans and you don't

1813
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 1: try to battle him, it's gonna be pitching catch all

1814
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: day long. That's exactly what he does effectively. He's a

1815
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,519
Speaker 1: receiver that works off a volume and I think he

1816
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:52,640
Speaker 1: showed that in the first two weeks. And one interesting

1817
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 1: statistic from a defensive standpoint for Tampay, the Bucks have

1818
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 1: only given up one touchdown in their first two games combined,

1819
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 1: because the Niners the first week scored two touchdowns off

1820
01:34:01,200 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 1: of Jameis Winston interceptions. So Tampa Bay's probably been one

1821
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 1: of the pleasant surprises on the defensive side of the ball.

1822
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 1: With Todd Bowles, the former Jets head coach taking over

1823
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,879
Speaker 1: Shaq Barrett, who they brought in from the Broncos, already

1824
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,040
Speaker 1: with four sacks in two games, so it'll be very

1825
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: interested to see how the Giants respond to the Bucks

1826
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: before we close up shop. Let's see if we could

1827
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: squeeze it a call or two. At eight seven seven

1828
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:26,200
Speaker 1: three three seven sixties six sixty six. Elliott is in Branchburg,

1829
01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Elliot, Welcome the w f an. What do

1830
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:31,240
Speaker 1: you have for us? Hey guys? How sorry tonight? All right,

1831
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: Elliot's tell your mind. So I'm driving back from the

1832
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: game and I got to one question, one statement. My

1833
01:34:39,240 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 1: first statement is last week during the Cowboy game. Uh,

1834
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 1: they posted a stat from the two thousand sixteen draft

1835
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,600
Speaker 1: with the Sterling Shepard draft and the year the Cowboys

1836
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:53,759
Speaker 1: got Dak Prescott and Nigel Elliott. The Cowboys have six

1837
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: players left on their roster from that draft. The Giants

1838
01:34:57,600 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 1: have to and trying to be as optimistic as I

1839
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 1: can be as a fan. That is telling of how

1840
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: bad year after year after year Jerry Rees did with

1841
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: draft picks. Because when you look at the roster turner

1842
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:16,200
Speaker 1: over for this team, it's almost from when they were

1843
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:18,840
Speaker 1: eleven and five a few years ago, and in the

1844
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:23,519
Speaker 1: playoffs it's almost an entirely different roster. I think there's

1845
01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:26,639
Speaker 1: six guys left on the roster from when they were

1846
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 1: eleven and five. Well, this problem really goes back. You

1847
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: could go back as far as two thousand and ten

1848
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:38,760
Speaker 1: and eleven and start going through the drafts twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,

1849
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,919
Speaker 1: sixteen that have led to this. This has been something

1850
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 1: that you know, the Darrell joern Agains, the Marvin Austin's,

1851
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 1: the Oa Diggy zoo Is, the Ramsayes Barton's. I mean,

1852
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. Eric Flowers being a

1853
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 1: high first round draft pick. You know, O'Dell Beckham Jr.

1854
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Was a great deodorant for some really bad drafts, um

1855
01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: and and they they're paying for it. They missed on

1856
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: Western rich Burke, they missed on Justin Pugh, they missed

1857
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,960
Speaker 1: on Eric Flowers. That's two first rounders and a second

1858
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,040
Speaker 1: rounder that you drafted the offensive line that didn't pan

1859
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 1: out for you as a franchise for whatever the reasons are.

1860
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're paying. And Gettleman has come in and

1861
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 1: and had to clean up that mass. So that's part

1862
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 1: a of it. I mean, we can't continue like Jerry

1863
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: Reese has been out and Mark Ross has been out

1864
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 1: of the building for two years now. Right. Uh, there's

1865
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: been an upgrading personnel. Now how are you coaching your personnel.

1866
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 1: It's all part of the process. You get good players,

1867
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 1: you gotta have coaches that coach to get the best

1868
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:49,360
Speaker 1: out of them. You gotta have a plan for those players.

1869
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:54,840
Speaker 1: So we're not listen, we're we're Jerry Jerry Reese is gone,

1870
01:36:55,920 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: Mark Ross is gone. Now you play the cards you deal.

1871
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 1: You've got competent people picking players. Now you've got to

1872
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: make sure that you coach those players so that you

1873
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:11,240
Speaker 1: can get the most of their talents um and you

1874
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 1: gotta fig you gotta constantly tweak that. That is the

1875
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 1: battle of any successful team is evaluating your personnel once

1876
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 1: you get him in the building, and when you have

1877
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: him in the building, making sure that they are playing

1878
01:37:25,400 --> 01:37:29,320
Speaker 1: at their optimum level all the time. Like if you're

1879
01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: a cornerback, and I'm telling you right now, DeAndre Baker's

1880
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: head is spinning. If his head is spinning and he's

1881
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 1: not grasping what you're giving him, don't give him more.

1882
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 1: Give him something he can get confident in grow from there,

1883
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:46,719
Speaker 1: you know. And it's not a matter of well, he's

1884
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: just you know, he just wants to press coverage. That's

1885
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,640
Speaker 1: not it. Like I said, when you see when you

1886
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:55,759
Speaker 1: see a fifty one yard pass to an outside receiver

1887
01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:00,719
Speaker 1: and the cornerback turns to the inside and follows uh

1888
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 1: receiver up the street, up the scene, that's against his

1889
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: basic instincts as a corner. It never happens. Like I said,

1890
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: you didn't have to give him the defense. And if

1891
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 1: there's a guy running up the sideline, a corner, take

1892
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 1: the whitest guy. So that tells me there's way too

1893
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:23,360
Speaker 1: much information in lack of comprehension. And it's not it's

1894
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 1: not a matter of this kid's ability. Now you can play.

1895
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can coach him up on his inability

1896
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:31,799
Speaker 1: to press when he likes to be a press corner.

1897
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: But when you got a corner who turns and chases

1898
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: a receiver up the scene while another one comes down sideline,

1899
01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: that's against the basic instincts of a corner. And that

1900
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:48,479
Speaker 1: tells me this kid's head is spinning. And that means

1901
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:51,600
Speaker 1: you've got to coach him up differently. You've got to

1902
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:53,720
Speaker 1: figure out how to get all these kids on the

1903
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: same page so that they can play their best. You

1904
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 1: got him in the building. Now the job is up.

1905
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,400
Speaker 1: The coaches to make sure you get the most out

1906
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: of them, and it's not an ego play. You're smart enough, coaches.

1907
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 1: You gotta get them going into Players have got to

1908
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: execute the techniques as well, especially since it's an extremely

1909
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:15,520
Speaker 1: young nucleus, especially on the back end of this defense

1910
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: relying on young quarters and DeAndre Baker's next challenges to

1911
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:24,080
Speaker 1: solve Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He's got to DeAndre

1912
01:39:24,200 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 1: Baker the rest to take care of itself. If he

1913
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 1: saw DeAndre Baker and plays good football like he was

1914
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: drafted as a football player, as he practiced in training camp,

1915
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine against any of these receivers. But

1916
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 1: until then, his head is spinning like a top. All right, gentlemen,

1917
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 1: that is gonna wrap things up for us here on
