1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,240 Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 2: Let's go, Let's go. That's alliance it out of my Giants. 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: Below, give me some John, part of the Giants Podcast 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: Network's role. 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Giants Huddle Podcast, brought to you by Citizens, 6 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 3: the official bank of the New York Giants. Madelenburg here 7 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 3: with the Super Bowl champion Sean O'Hara for a rapid 8 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 3: reaction of the giants twenty to fifteen loss to the 9 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 3: visiting Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. Sean, we look 10 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 3: at the way that this game ended. An uncharacteristic miss 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: by Brandon Aubrey on a field goal sets up the 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 3: Giants at the thirty two. They're pushing down the field. 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones goes for the deep shot to Jalen Hyatt. 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 3: It's intercepted by Amani or Awarier, who is just called 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 3: up for the game due to the injuries the Cowboys 16 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 3: have in the defensive backfield. And that's a ballgame, right 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 3: there's Giants fall twenty to fifteen. How did this position? 18 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 3: How do they get themselves into that position? 19 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the game, right there, 21 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: you're hoping that something magical happens, and it's almost like 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: a hail Mary. Dane Jones just kind of throws it 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: up there. You get a catch, maybe you get a 24 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: pass interference. You're hoping for something special to happen. But really, 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: I go back to the position before that. The Giants 26 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: go for one on fourth and six instead of opting 27 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: for the field goal there, that could have changed things. 28 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: If they had gotten taken the points, they would have 29 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: had a chance to get down the field and kick 30 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: a field goal. Possibly, so I think possibly a missopportunity there. 31 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: But really this game came down to their ability to 32 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: finish drives and they could not do it. They moved 33 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: the ball extremely well all night long. It seemed like 34 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: there was a lot of rhythm. They had a eight 35 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: play drive, a ten play drive, an eleven play drive, 36 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: a fifteen play drive. They were on the field and 37 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: had the ball for thirty five minutes. So it was 38 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: a completely lopsided game from a time of possession standpoint. 39 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: But Madeline, when you can't finish and you can't score 40 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: touchdowns and you're constantly relying on field goals, we've seen 41 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: this movie before. Two weeks ago, the same exact thing 42 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: happened Washington Commanders. They could not punch the ball in 43 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: the end zone, and that's ultimately what ended up costing 44 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: them the game. The defense, I thought played extremely well. 45 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: They give up one big play to Ceedee Lamb earlier 46 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: on the game where he breaks a tackle and goes 47 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: to the house for fifty five yard touchdown. But other 48 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: than that, they really stifled this Dallas Cowboys offense and 49 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: they held. 50 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: Them in check. 51 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: If you hold defensively, if you hold the other team 52 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: in twenty points, you should be able to win the game. 53 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: So I think that's where the Giants have to feel 54 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: like they left a little bit out there. A lot 55 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: of progress obviously. I mean, this offense looks like it's 56 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: in Rhythm League. Neighbors look special. I thought Wanda Robinson 57 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: had a big game. Ironically, the Giants couldn't run the 58 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: ball tonight, and coming into this game, I know you 59 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: and I both thought this is going to be a 60 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: big day for Devin Singletary. 61 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 2: He's going to have a monster game. 62 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: The Giants are going to be able to run the football, 63 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: because it seems like everybody was kind of having their 64 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: way with this Dallas Cowboys defense. 65 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: Right, you mentioned that, and you know after the game, 66 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 3: Brian dablehead coach Brian Dabeles said, hey, you know what, 67 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 3: we tried to establish the run game. We didn't get 68 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: much out of it, and the Cowboys did a good 69 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: job shutting down our run game. The narrative around the 70 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: Cowboys defense is that that run defense was porous, and 71 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: yet the Giants, on twenty four combined rushing attempts, finished 72 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: with just twenty six net rushing yards on the day. 73 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: Is it something that Cowboys adjusted in their run defense. 74 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: I don't know without watching the film what they did 75 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: differently schematically, but it definitely seemed like they were on 76 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: a mission. They were not gonna let the Giants beat 77 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: them with the run game. And even though it was 78 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: a short week, I'm sure that the Dallas Cowboys defense 79 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: was tired of hearing, hey, we can't stop the run. 80 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: We just got slacked by Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson 81 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy yards rushing. When that happens, I know, 82 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: defense comes out and they're like, all right, we're not 83 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: gonna let that happen again. So they were hell bent 84 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: on stopping the run. But I also think the Giants 85 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: could have run the ball more. They could have run 86 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: the ball more often. And what's challenging with the run 87 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: game is to stay patient with it because sometimes the 88 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: big runs don't happen until. 89 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: The third and fourth quarter. And you know, when you go. 90 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: In at halftime, the Giants had twenty nine yards rushing 91 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: and they ended up with twenty four twenty five yards rushing, 92 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: so negative yards rushing in the second half that you know, 93 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a math major, but that statistically is hard 94 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: to do. I think the fact that the game was 95 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: within hand have been different ways and different opportunities to 96 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: get them involved. We didn't really see any Moligue Neighbors 97 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: jet sweeps. We saw them get him involved early on 98 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: last week against the Cleveland Browns with some of those 99 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Jets sweeps and just kind of hit the perimeter. You 100 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: give credit to the Dallas Cowboys defense, but the run 101 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: game is always such a it's such an interesting aspect 102 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: of the game because it's not just the offensive line 103 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: they're responsible for that. 104 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: The tight ends are involved, the wide receivers are involved. 105 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: It really becomes an orchestrated occurrence and an orchestrated play. 106 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 1: So everybody's got to have their hand in it. I think, 107 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, coming into the game, Devin Singletary, I'm sure 108 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: he thought he would have more production. He never was 109 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: able to pop the big run. And sometimes you can 110 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: run the ball twenty times and you only get four 111 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: yards to carry, and then on that twenty first run, 112 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: that's when you pop the big twenty to thirty five 113 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: yard run. 114 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: And that just never happened tonight. 115 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: You're ready for a change. 116 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: Pay Day comes early with citizens, So go to that retreat. 117 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: Knew you moves to the country. Now you're raising goats 118 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: and launching a lifestyle brand. Are you ready all that 119 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: life breaks? It didn't. It definitely didn't. And you know, 120 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: one of the things that stands up to me when 121 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: you're looking at the final stats of this game is 122 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: the penalties right here. Dallas Cowboys had eleven penalties on 123 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 3: the day for eighty nine yards, but in the first 124 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: half they had nine penalties. The fact that there was 125 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: so much laundry on the field and the Giants weren't 126 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: able to capitalize in a positive way from that what 127 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: happened there? 128 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a missed opportunity when you have 129 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: a team that's beating themselves like that, And to be 130 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: honest with you, Mike McCarthy's Dallas Cowboys coach team, they 131 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: have been one of the most penalized teams in the 132 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: league every single year, So this is not new. I 133 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: think you've got to maximize those opportunities. And when a 134 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: defense gives you a second opportunity, when they give you 135 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: free yards offensively, when they when they penalize themselves and 136 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: put themselves behind the eight ball, you've got to capitalize 137 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: on it. 138 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: They certainly didn't do that. 139 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: You know, normally you would say if you came out 140 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: of a team and you had nine penalties like they did 141 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: that early in that often that you're not going to 142 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: win the football game. And I think the Giants had 143 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: this game within their grasp. They had a chance to 144 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: win this football game, and they just came up short. 145 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were very close and several times, and you know, 146 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: you look at the way the play of Daniel Jones 147 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: twenty nine to forty two hundred and eighty one yards, 148 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: no touchdowns, an interception, but again that interception on that 149 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 3: last hail Mary of a heave attempting to get Jalen 150 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: Hyde in the end zone on that final offensive play 151 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 3: of the game. Malik Neighbors twelve receptions for one hundred 152 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: and fifteen yards. He had a great catch on the 153 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: sideline ten toes down, but as he fell to the ground, 154 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 3: he hit his head, dropped the ball. He did leave 155 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 3: with a concussion. We'll continue to monitor that throughout the week, 156 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: of course, a long week. And then defensively, you know, 157 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: you saw a lot. You come into this game without 158 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: Drew Phillips, the rookie corner who's been fantastic so far, 159 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: without adri Jackson who left last week's game with a 160 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 3: calf injury as well. You get Nick McLeod back, You've 161 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 3: got some great play from the rookie Tyler Nubin. You 162 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: get some pressure cave on Thibodeaux has a sack on 163 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott at sack for an eight yard loss that 164 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: gets them out of field goal range. There were some 165 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: positives from this defensive play. 166 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought they came out of the gate. They 167 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: were fired up and you could tell. 168 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: And McLeod got in on a very big play, I 169 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: think the second play of the game. He was in 170 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: the backfield, big stuff. They were flying all over the field. 171 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: Mike McFadden had another big game. You know, Pinnock was 172 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: a little bit quiet. You know, he came into this 173 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: game with four sacks, so you kind of expected him 174 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: to get involved in the pressure packages. But the Dallas 175 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys were helping on getting the ball out quick. They 176 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: were not going to let the pass rush dictate the game. 177 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: They weren't going to let the Giants defense get after 178 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. So the ball was coming out really quick, 179 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: a lot of short passes, a lot of quick throws. 180 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: But I thought this Giants defense played an excellent game, 181 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: and I thought that they were very passionate, they were physical. 182 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: It was really one big play and a big play 183 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: by Ceedee Lamb, who's one of the best in the business. 184 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, he breaks a tackle on a slant route basically, 185 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: and Tyler Newman's a little bit out of position. He 186 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: kind of over commits and now in the middle of 187 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: the field wide opens up wide and that should have 188 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: never happened. It was a two high safety look. You 189 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: play that too high safety look so you don't give 190 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: up the big play, and that's exactly what happened, and 191 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: they never seem to recover from that. You know, I 192 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: think when you look at defensively, you know, you would 193 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: like to have some more turnovers. That's something that they've 194 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: always done a pretty good job of and not to 195 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: be able to kind of get something that kind of 196 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: turned the tables a little bit. I know that that 197 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: was probably a little disappointing for them, But I thought 198 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: the defense played very spirited. They were physical, you know, 199 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: they were flying around tonight. They just didn't get a 200 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: ton of help from in the offense. But you knew 201 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: coming to the game this was going to be a 202 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: pass first offense. Dak Prescott leaves the NFL coming into 203 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: this game and passing yards and attempts, so you knew 204 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: that's how they were going to try to win the game. 205 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned that fifty five yard Ceedee Lamb touchdown, 206 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: which of course again blown coverage on the two high 207 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: safety look, but it's a sign of a young team, right. 208 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: There's a lot of youth in this secondary. There's a 209 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 3: lot of youth in this team in general. When you 210 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: look at the Cowboys offense, and you mentioned Dak Prescott 211 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: leading the league in passing, you finish two hundor two 212 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: yards and two touchdowns on the day. One of the 213 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: strengths of the Cowboys offense is the yak the yard 214 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 3: after the catch, and but for that Ceedee Lamb touchdown, 215 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 3: the Giants defense didn't really allow for a lot of yak. 216 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 3: You know, they did close in on these receivers and 217 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: get to them at that point of the catch. 218 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: I thought that the open field tackling was excellent tonight. 219 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: They did a great job. They look, you know, totally 220 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: different from what they looked like two or three weeks ago, 221 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: so that they've definitely corrected and they it looks like 222 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: it's really a strength. 223 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: Of this defense. 224 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: I think, you know the fact that they held them 225 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: to three for ten. I think they were one for 226 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: seven in the first half alone. 227 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: So they did it. They did their job. They got 228 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: off the field. 229 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: When you go out there on defense on third down, 230 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: they'ds hey, get them off the field. 231 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: They did that. And as you mentioned, it is a young. 232 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: Secondary and they've they've got a lot of young players, 233 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: so there's gonna be some growing pains with that. I 234 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: thought they definitely you know, missed the play of Drew Phillips. 235 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal, not just in coverage, like he has 236 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: been a force coming downhill. He's been one of those guys. 237 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: That is kind of a big hitter, and I think 238 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: they kind of missed his presence. 239 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: You love turf, You're good at it, so you start 240 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: a turf business, grows, your savings, grow, become the most 241 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,599 Speaker 3: celebrated name in turf. Are you ready for all that 242 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: life brings? The Giants are going to be turning the 243 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 3: page a week five. The next opponent is the Seattle 244 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: Seahawks in Seattle. Of course, Giants playing on Thursday night, 245 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 3: They've got a long way until the next game. But 246 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: the Seahawks are playing on Monday night against the Detroit Lions. 247 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: Seahawks will be coming off a short week at home, 248 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: the Giants will be on a long week on the road. 249 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 3: When you look at this matchup, we talked about Dak 250 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: leading the league in passing. Gino Smith is among the 251 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: top five passing quarterbacks in this league as well that 252 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: Seahawks offense, and playing in Seattle is a whole other beast. 253 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, playing in Seattle is a challenge in itself. 254 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: The crowd noise there is unlike any other stadium you've 255 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: ever played in. And it's an open statement, not like 256 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: it's a dome, but somehow, some way, the twelve's just 257 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: come and they come ready. That place is gonna be rocking. 258 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: So one thing you know, whenever you're playing in Seattle, 259 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna be practicing with crowd noise like they're gonna 260 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: pump it in. They're gonna have speakers on the sideline. 261 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: You gotta work the sold count, which is a challenge. 262 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: So offensively, they're gonna have their hands full dealing with that. 263 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: I think defensively for the Giants, Gino Smith is doing 264 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: a great job. He's got a three headed monster at receiver. 265 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: He's got DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jackson, Smith and Jigbo. 266 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 2: So those three guys are certainly a handful. 267 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Dk Metcalf look, I mean, he's he's an avatar out there, 268 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: So you know, what do you do? 269 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: How do you take him out of the game. 270 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: How do you protect yourself from giving up some of 271 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: those big plays. That's gonna be a challenge and it'll be 272 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: interesting to see how Shane Bowen wants to attack him. 273 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: And then I think when you look at you know, 274 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: from the running standpoint, Kenneth Jackson has been banged up 275 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: or Keneth Walker has been back banged up. Zach Sharbonnay 276 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: has been phenomenal. He just had his first hunt yard 277 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: game last week, and I'll tell you what, he runs 278 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: with power. 279 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: So that's going to be a big point of Memphis 280 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: as well. 281 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: I know they like to run the football and kind 282 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: of build off of that, so it's going to be 283 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: a great challenge. You know, there's nothing better though than 284 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: the flight home from Seattle after a victory. 285 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: Well, hopefully the Giants can pull that off. The Seahawks 286 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: have started the season three and oh with their fourth 287 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: game on Monday Night, Giants fall to one and three 288 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: with a twenty to fifteen loss at home to the 289 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.
