1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 2: Let's go, Let's go Giants.

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 1: Dune on my Giants bubble, give me some part of

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: the Giants podcast network.

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: Let's roll.

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Giants Huddle podcast, brought to you by Citizens,

7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the official bank of the New York Football Giants. This

8
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: is the Giants Huddle rapid reaction after the giants fourteen

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: to seven win over the visiting Washington Commanders. My name

10
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: is Madeleinburg, alongside Howard Cross. Howard, it's great for the

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Giants to get a win at home in the division

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: on a Sunday afternoon.

13
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Great for them playing Sunday afternoons at one o'clock. That's

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: one thing that we could say for sure, because there's

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 2: kind of been a little soulo powered. So the one

16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: o'clock game was very nice. I thought also great that

17
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: they scored in the first half two touchdowns, very impressive.

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: Great that this patchwork offensive line actually showed up. So

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: if they had a lot of good things that happened,

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: the fans were happy. They got noisy in the end,

21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: so that really made a big difference.

22
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the Giants scoring the first half, first

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: first half touchdowns offensively of the season, the first one,

24
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: of course, coming from tight end Darren Waller on National

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: tight End Date. Nonetheless, he got his first touchdown as

26
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: a member of the New York Giants. In the first half.

27
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: He went seven of eight for ninety eight yards and

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Darren Waller really getting involved. Especially in recent weeks,

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: we've seen him looking more like the Darren Waller that

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,279
Speaker 1: Giants fans expected coming into this season.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know what the believe or not.

32
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: The offensive line has played a lot better. They haven't

33
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: played great, but it's still a lot better. Instead of

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: giving up eleven and twelve and all those multiple digit

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: sacks they're giving up like I think it was like

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: five or six today, which seems like a lot, but

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: compared to eleven, it's not. So he doesn't have to

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: chip as much when those things are happening. Gives him

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 2: the ability to be on the field. I think also

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: the unspoken Bellinger is helping him be a better helping

41
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Waller be a better tight end because Bellinger is able

42
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: to come in and get some of those chips and

43
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: some of those knocks. They help them mountain.

44
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And then you mentioned that scoring in the

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: first half as well Saquon Barkley. With that second touchdown,

46
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: he had a thirty two yard catch of receiving touchdown

47
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: there we go to put the Giants up fourteen to nothing.

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: In the second quarter, Saque had seventy seven yards on

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: the ground, adding another forty one in the air. Saque

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: seems to do so well against the Commanders as a player. Sometimes,

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: is there a team that you just know, Oh, I

52
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: like going up against the squad because I seem to

53
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: do well well. You know.

54
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: Yes, the Commanders are the Washington football team and Washington Redskins,

55
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: all the teams that you can imagine from Washington. I

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: have always enjoyed playing against them. I think Saquon does

57
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: as well. I think before you had a touchdown, I

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: think you had even a bigger play because they faked

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 2: the ball to him in an entire defense ran would

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: have been Waller catches a nice pass at a first down.

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: The following play, Saquon catches the ball because now they're

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: like looking for you know, looking for Waller trying to

63
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: get to the quarterback, and they run right by him.

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: He's twenty yards steep before you one puts a hand on.

65
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Giants offense was able to get MiG

66
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: chunk plays too. They had six plays of twenty or

67
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: more yards. At one point, they had three consecutive pass

68
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: plays that went fifty seven yards in total, two twenty

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: two chunk plays and then a thirteen yard or to

70
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. When you see the offense able to get

71
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: these big gains, including that forty two yard pass to

72
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Jail and Hyatt on the sideline that he was able

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to get both feet down a little toe drag swag.

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: When they're able to open it up and send the

75
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: ball downfield, what does that do for this Giant's offense.

76
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Well, just taking the shots themselves, throwing the ball down

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: the field, it's big. I think that the balls that

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: were catching and getting the yak afterwards were big. But

79
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: I think being able to throw the ball forty yards

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: downfield causes the defense to like, you can't let the

81
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: safeties be nosy, you can't have an extra guy in

82
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: the box. You got to make sure that people are

83
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: in the right position because if they're not, you're going

84
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: to get a forty yard pass or thirty five plus

85
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: yard pass, and you don't want that. Because big chunk

86
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: plays are what kills you and breaks your back, so

87
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: they started to back off. That also gives a little

88
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: more room for the running game if it's like something

89
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: that you're looking at. And again, this offensive line did

90
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: an admirable job because there's a lot of these guys

91
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: just got to the team this week. So you know,

92
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: with that being said, I think they did a decent

93
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: job because I don't think there was one starter in

94
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: the same position on the field, and I think only

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: one starter played and he played center.

96
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: When he's a guard, you're ready for a change. Pay

97
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: Day comes early with citizens, so go to that retreat,

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: knew you moves to the country. Now you're raising goats

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: and launching a lifestyle brand. Are you ready for all

100
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: that life brings?

101
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: Right? Absolutely saw it brought us in playing center because

102
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: of course John Michael Schmid's still out. He came into

103
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: the stadium today wearing a straight off the couch T

104
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: shirt as a little hat tip to Justin Pugh who

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: got the start as well. Tyree Phillips starting at guard,

106
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: just signed earlier this week off the Eagles practice squad.

107
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: But of course, a guy who's familiar with the Giant

108
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: system has been on this team last year's well so,

109
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: of course, and then moving Marcus mckeithan over to left

110
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: guard from right guard. Whole lot of patchwork on this

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: offensive line, but they're making it work. They're getting it.

112
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor getting the ball out quickly. Taylor going eighteen

113
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: of twenty nine for two hundred and seventy nine yards,

114
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: passing two touchdowns and no interception, also adding another twenty

115
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: five yards on the ground, including that twenty yard run

116
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: from Tyrod Taylor. But when we look at the defense

117
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: inside of the ball Howard, the defense, Giants defense has

118
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: been really trending up. The arrow has been pointing up

119
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 1: a lot, especially the past few weeks. Today against Washington,

120
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: they were able to get a lot of pressure on

121
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback on Sam how They had six sacks, they

122
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: limited them on third down. Washington was just one for

123
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,559
Speaker 1: fifteen on third down conversion. We talked about this coming

124
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: into this game, the importance of making Sam Howell uncomfortable

125
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: and what stands out in what the Giants defense did

126
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: that worked with wink Martin Dale's defense against Eric b

127
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Enemy's offense.

128
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: I think what really stood out was Dexter Lawrence, you know,

129
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: playing against Nick Gates. I think that was probably the

130
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: biggest factor. I think everyone wants to say that there

131
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: was a lot of blitzing and it made a huge difference.

132
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: And really what happened was that Dexter was just playing

133
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: above and beyond the numbers, and I think that him

134
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: getting started and getting fired up kind of fired Leo

135
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: up a little bit. And Leo started to get his

136
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: getest pressure. And then all of a sudden, you got

137
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Thibodeaux coming off the edge and he's he's causing the

138
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: quarterback to scramble over and over again. They sent one blitz,

139
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: they got home. I think the safety got animate got

140
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: a sack. I think again, Okay, Okay is playing great.

141
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: He's starting to meet guys in the hole and meet

142
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: guys in the backfield running the ball. So that's that's

143
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: causing a lot of problems when they when they were

144
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: able to really almost shut down the run like that

145
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: and cause them to have to throw the ball. We've

146
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: seen teams get well against us, so to speak, when

147
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: you know we got so many guys injured, and they're like, okay,

148
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna get some sacks today. Today was the day

149
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: that the Giants got to do it against the commanders.

150
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the safety Jason Pinnock getting his sacked

151
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Exter Lawrence, who saw the sexy dexy sacked dance a

152
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: couple of times day. He ended up with two full sacks,

153
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: one full one and a couple of half that he split.

154
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Mike McFadden got to the quarterback cave on Thibodeaux one

155
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. He's got five and a half

156
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: this season, just surpassing his four sack total from last year.

157
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: So getting that pressure on the quarterback was usually Then

158
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: of course, Lendond Williams with a sack, a blocked field goal,

159
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams really playing lights out probably the biggest play

160
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 1: of the game, right.

161
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely was the biggest play of the game. If

162
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: they make that field goal, and I'll you know, it

163
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: changed the whole dynamic of them trying to get down.

164
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: They probably call plays differently because now they're not trying

165
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: to just get the end zone for the tie. They're

166
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: like they're trying to go ahead, so they look differently.

167
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: It's different pressure on our guys, even though our guys

168
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: are playing great, it's just different pressure.

169
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because of course the end of the game situation

170
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Washington's making their way down the field, trying to get

171
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: into the end zone, which they need to do down

172
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: fourteen to seven, Giants defense holds strong, doesn't let them

173
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: in there, and it ends up being a Giants win

174
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: fourteen to seven, A division win. So much rides. I mean,

175
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: you talk about a wins win, but of course being

176
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC East and getting a win against the

177
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: UNFCO East opponent is that much more valuable.

178
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: Yes, win against an MC the opponent that much more valuable.

179
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: But getting a win it gives them more confidence. They're

180
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: saying now that the defense can make a huge difference

181
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: in the game. N I said before the game that

182
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: you know, this can be one of those games or

183
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: the defense has to carry the team. And they did,

184
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: and they did a great job of it.

185
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: You love turf, You're good at it, So you start

186
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: a turf biz business grows, your savings grow, become the

187
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: most celebrated name in turf. Are you ready for all

188
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: that life rings?

189
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely? We saw Deontay Banks get his first career interception today,

190
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: a great play. He saw Cavon Tibodeaux almost get the interception.

191
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: After the game, he was speaking in the locker room,

192
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, it went from an

193
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: interception to a punt real quick because the angle it

194
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: was coming at him. And he was definitely kicking himself

195
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: for not taking that ball because he had nothing but

196
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: green grass in front of him in that field position.

197
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: The return game is another element too that we saw.

198
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: We saw Eric he went out early, Sterling Shepherd went

199
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: in there, he went, Eric Gray went out with the

200
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: calf injury. Sterling Shepherd went into return. He had a

201
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: couple miscues back there, and then Darius Slayton was in

202
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: to return as well. And Slayton is kind of new

203
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: to that, so much so that when he was calling

204
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: for the fair catch, he went over to the official

205
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: beforehand and said, hey, this is this is what I do. Right.

206
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: You know, you have to look at like I tell

207
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: people all the time, if you just look at the

208
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: geniant specialists, Uh, Slayton's not listed, Darius is listed, so

209
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: he's the actual returner. Also, you have to think about

210
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: the fact that you know, if you if you look

211
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: at a grays out, they have had they've been playing,

212
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: they've been playing with Jackson as a backup returner. He's out.

213
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: Now you got slay You know you're going to try

214
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: to try, You're going to try to try Sheppard to

215
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: get in there, but they just they were just you know,

216
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: kind of throwing drawing straws almost when they knew that.

217
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 2: You know, if they had to go back and look

218
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: at it and do it all over again, they would

219
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: have started out with Slayton back there. But he gets

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: more burn on offense. They were trying to protect him,

221
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: keep him out.

222
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, and Sterling Shepherd's one miss que is muff

223
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: punt is the one that put the Washington Commanders in

224
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: position to get in the end zone their score, their

225
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: lone touchdown of the day as well.

226
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: And you got also added, as you know, left footed hunter,

227
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: right windy day, the balls already spinning in a different direction,

228
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: and it's moving in a different different it's giving you

229
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: a different look coming down. So you know Shep's back there.

230
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: That's just not what he's been doing and being getting

231
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: prepared for.

232
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And it's a very challenging thing that the role

233
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: of a returner. The ball's coming at you at a

234
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: very different angle than it is as a receiver, right yep.

235
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: It definitely is. But but you know you used to

236
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: catch them out from for right foot of punter, then

237
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: the balls spinning from a left footed hunter, it really

238
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: does fly differently and it comes down to a different angle.

239
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Absolutely, the Giants get the win today. Uh. And

240
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: you know one of the sentiments that we heard from

241
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: players in the locker room is that, hey, this is

242
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: this is where we're starting, right. We need to be

243
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: able to stack these wins. And they've got the New

244
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: York Jets and the New York Giants at MetLife Studio.

245
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: I was going to say the Jets coming to town,

246
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: but this is their town too. It's Giants home game

247
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: next weekend, but they'll be facing a Jets coming off

248
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: of bye week. And prior to the bye week, the

249
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Jets got a huge win over the Eagles, so that

250
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: momentum that rest. What are your early anticipations with this matchup?

251
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Another truly defensive battle. We're going to see the best

252
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: of the best when it comes down to defense, and

253
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be interesting to see if they can

254
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: hold them off long enough to get the ball down

255
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: the field. Regardless of Danny's back or not. They got

256
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 2: to still try to get the ball down the field

257
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: with Tyrod and we're hoping that that works absolutely.

258
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: We'll see if Daniel Jones coming back from that neck injury.

259
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: As he's nursing that neck injury, then of course left

260
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: tackle Andrew Thomas nursing that hamstring. That and much more.

261
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: But that's a wrap for our Giants Huddle. Rapid reaction
