1 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: It's Week seven and the Giants are headed to Atlanta 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: for Monday Night Football. Welcome to Crossfire, presented by a 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: Prime Point. I'm Madeline Burke, joined as always by Howard 4 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: Cross and Carl Banks Guide Sick one. Barkley has been 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: heavily involved in both the run and passing game. But 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: this week will he have more rushing or receiving yards 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. That's a really, really good question, 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: because once he receives it, he becomes a runner. I 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: gotta believe they need him to rush the ball a 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: lot more so that they can get the receivers involved more. 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: I think they wanted to run the ball more and 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: it helps with the play action. The play actions with 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: the Giants really need back. When they played against Carolina, 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the play action got the receiver's open down the field 15 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: and Sa Kuan was the main reason for that. So 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: if you think about it, they wanted to run more. 17 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: But Atlanta is horrible covering the back out of the back. 18 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: You know, it's really possible that he could be involved 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: as a runner and a passer on the same play, 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: like play action passed to him in the flat. How 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: about that? Maybe you'll throw it all right. Well, a 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: week six, he was just one receiving yard away from 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: having both a hundred rushing and a hundred receiving yards 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: in the same game. So safe to say he'll be 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: heavily involved in both. But when you look at what 26 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: se Kuan has done as a rookie, are you more 27 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: impressed with Barklay's rookie year or O'Dell's rookie year. Back Well, 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: I think O'Dell was just coming on the scene right 29 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: about now because he missed games with hamstring issues. So 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: let's see how it looks at the end of the 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: season instead of comparing the highlights so early in this 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: young season. I think you know as great Odell was dynamic, 33 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: he was explosive, he did everything he had to catch 34 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy things. But Kwan is specifically different 35 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: because he runs the ball out of the backfield. He's 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: taking onlineman over and over again. O'Dell's out in space. 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: You can bake dynamic out of space. One has to 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: do it from the backfield, which aspect will be more 39 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: important the Giants offensive line or the it's defensive line 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: against the Falcons. Wow, that's an interesting proposition, and I'm 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: gonna say it has to be that Giants defensive line 42 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: because Matt Ryan is carving up this league. They're tops 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: in offense, so they've got to be able to get 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: some pressure on him and force him into some mistakes. 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: I like that. I think the defense line would be important. 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: I think they will be important. They are going to 47 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: give some sacks on him. But the offensive line is 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: was gonna run this game. You know, Sakon's gotta run 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: the ball in the backfield. You gotta give Eli time, 50 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: you even the receiver's time to get open. You can 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: do a lot if you can move the ball. If 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: the Giants are scoring and moving the ball, then you 53 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about Matt Ryan being in the 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: game at all. Defense. Defense, defense, I'm saying the defense 55 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: will compliment this offense, or the offense will compliment the 56 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: defensive effort. But I think this defensive line has really 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: got to keep Matt under control. The linebacker saying defense. 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: What a surprise. Now if you look at this, the 59 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Giants played the NFC South and the a f C 60 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: South this season. Which division poses more of a challenge 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: for the Giants. Well, I think the Giants posed their 62 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: own challenge. You know, when you've only won one game, 63 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: there seems to be the opposition is within the mistakes 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: that you make, the things that prevent you from winning games. 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: But I think everyone on the schedule is tough. If 66 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I have to say NFC or n f C, I'm 67 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: gonna say it's the a FC. Really, the AFC think 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: its THENFC. I think it's the NFC. I think you 69 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: know what the Falcons playing is. You know can play 70 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: well when Matt Rynolds, you got Cam Cam Newton play well. 71 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: And you have the New Orleans Saints. Three teams that 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: are pretty good. You knows that in say Tampa. But 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: we gotta say the three teams in the NFC are 74 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: probably always pushing, always sniffing around the playoffs. Those guys 75 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: are hard and tough every year. All right, Giants Falcons. 76 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football down in Atlanta for carl and Howard 77 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: and Madeline Bark.
