12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: home win, topping the Raiders twenty three to sixteen here

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium. Quincy Rochet the strip sack, Leonard Williams,

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: the recovery and it seals the W four Big Blue

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: is the Giants now improved to three and six overall

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: two and three here at MetLife Stadium, the Raiders getting

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: into the red zone six times and only walking away

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: with one touchdown. This was one of the top offenses

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This was also one of the best

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: offenses and taking care of the football, yet they were

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: minus two on the day with three turnovers, including two

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: interceptions by Derek Carr. Bob Popa joins me. Will also

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: later on have some player reaction as well as here

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: from Joe Judge called Banks joins the party as well.

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: And this was quite the performance by the Giants. It's

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: never easy call for them. It always usually comes down

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: to the wire, but here's an example where the Giants

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: defense held and the offense did enough to compliment them,

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: which is something that we haven't necessarily seen game in

30
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: and game out this year. Well, it started off with

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the offense, uh setting the tone for the game, and

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: then the defense kind of came on and did what

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: they did. But it was a complete team win, and

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: that's what it's supposed to be. When you get into

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: some of these dog fights, you need every all hands

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: on deck, and today the defense was able to give

37
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: this team a score uh position to score again off

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: of a turnover um and then to be able to

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: close out the game. So they did exactly again what

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: they've been doing for the last three games. This defense

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: is performing at a high level. Would need it. Yeah,

42
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: this is the third straight game where the Giants defense

43
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: has been impressive considering the scores. They held the Chiefs

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: to twenty, they held the Raiders to sixteen, and then

45
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: bought on the offensive side of the ball. This was

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: by far the best rushing performance for the Giants today

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: in terms of them piling through for a hundred forty

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: nine yards off a thirty one carries. Yeah, Booker, you know,

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: went over a hundred yards and he lost three in

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: his last carry and left the game because of an injury. Um,

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: so he finishes with ninety nine. Penny comes in because

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you remember Bright Walls on the COVID list, So Penny

53
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: comes in. You only have two healthy running backs, and

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Penny averages seven yards of carry, five carries for thirty

55
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: five yards. Chip in seventeen more for Daniel Jones. And

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: you're right about the defense. I mean, this is a

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Raider team that's average, you almost twenty six points a game. Uh,

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: the Giants hold him the sixteen. And the other thing

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: about this is, you know, you look at the Giants

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: red zone defense statistically, it's not, you know, in the

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: top ten, although they're gonna move up after today because

62
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders had one touchdown, one field goal, one missfield

63
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: goal on a fumble. The Giants have now forced five

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: red zone turnovers, one interception this season and four fumbles. Uh,

65
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: So they've done a really good job as far as

66
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: that's concerned. Daniel Jones Uh, the only mistake that he

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: had in the game, obviously was the fumble that set

68
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: up the field goal. Uh for the Raiders to give

69
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: him a ten seven lead. They didn't ask him to

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: do a lot, or they didn't do a lot because

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 1: of what they're dealing with with an offensive line that's

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: shaky at best. He was fifteen ten yards, no interceptions. Uh.

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: Ingram was the leading receiver with three catches. Glad they

74
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: had two big ones. Booker had three, Rudolph had four.

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, the numbers are as pedestrian as they come.

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: But they played to a profile today that they had

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: to to win the football game and now the Raiders

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: fifth straight year the Raiders have lost coming off to

79
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: buy that pretty at them. Yeah. And and the thing is, Bob,

80
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: when you say they played to a profile, they knew

81
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: what they couldn't do, uh physically in terms of exposing

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: their past protection. They knew where their strengths were in

83
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: terms of the ability to run the football with multiple

84
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: um multiple facets, meaning the quarterback, the full back, the

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: running back right. So they leaned on that and then

86
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: they said, well, we got tight ends too that if

87
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: we continue to keep our formations closed, we can use

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: our tight ends in the past game as well. So

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: they used what they had available to them and they

90
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: put pressure on Raiders with those type of those type

91
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: of players that profile. I should say, So the Giants

92
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: beat the Raider twenty three to six, team will step aside.

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: We'll hope to hear from head coach Joe Judge get

94
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: player reaction as well as the Giants get their second

95
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: straight home win, now three and six on the season.

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. You were listening to

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: on the fan w f a N New York. Part

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: in a shotgun. Two receivers the near side life, he

102
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: takes the snap, he's back, he's looked at left the

103
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: whole way and he throws it left and it's intercepted

104
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: by the Giants McKinny down the right side like tan

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: fuck touchdown Giants, Savory McKinny, we're this first career pick six.

106
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: That is today's play the game brought to you by

Speaker 1: Forward the official vehicle of the New York Giants. That

109
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: pick six coming on the very first possession of the

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: third quarter. As Derek Carr had two interceptions do interceptions?

111
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: Excuse me? Kenny responsible for both of them. This was

112
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: actually the second time this season McKinney had a two

113
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: interception game. He also had two off of Matt Stafford

114
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: against the Rams in Week six here in Eastern for Rutherford,

115
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey. As the Giants were able to capitalize off

116
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: of the takeaways today that was also a big difference

117
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: maker as we welcome you back to Mercedes Ben's Giants

118
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Extra point. Giants topped the Raiders twenty three to sixteen

119
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to improve the three and six the Raiders fall to

120
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: five and three entering this game. The Giants had eleven

121
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: takeaways on the season, nine of them they actually had

122
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: opportunities to put points on the board, and they only

123
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: scored eighteen points off of those nine takeaways, so today,

124
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: they have three takeaways alone. Two of them they could

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: have scored points because the last one obviously sealed the game,

126
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: and they walk away with ten points off of those

127
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: two takeaways. They get the pick six and then they

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: scored a field goal off of the other interception, and Bob,

129
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: when your offense is struggling, it's nice when your defense

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: could put some points on the board to help compliment them. Yeah,

131
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: that's the Giant's first defensive touchdown of the year, their

132
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: first interception return for a touchdown since Week five of

133
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: last year. The only other defensive points they scored this year,

134
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: or anything uh defensively at all, was the Leonard Williams safety,

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: But they really haven't gotten any points that way. The

136
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: other thing that's going their way is the fact that,

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, their kicker has been phenomenal um outside of

138
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: the thirty six yard miss wide left against New Orleans

139
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: in the fifty four yard or against Dallas Graham gonno,

140
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, three for three today, you get the McKinney interception,

141
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: you move the ball down the field, you get into

142
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: field goal range, and you've got this confidence that you

143
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: know that our guy is gonna make the kick. He's

144
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: now made nineteen of twenty one this season. Uh nine

145
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: more points for him, and then the Giants were able

146
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: to play defense. And you know McKinney's first career pick

147
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: six Quincy Rochet, who they picked up on avers. He

148
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: was a sixth round draft pick of Pittsburgh this year,

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: played his college ball at Miami and you know he's

150
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, starting last week against Kansas City. You know

151
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: he's getting run. Uh O'Shane Zeminus, who's was was the

152
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: third round pick, has done really has done nothing. Uh

153
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: He had a shoulder injury last year, only played in

154
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: four games. He had four and a half sacks as

155
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a rookie, but twelve tackles this year and just one

156
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: quarterback hit for Zeminus. They felt like Quincy Rochet was

157
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: a better option, and he certainly uh gave the coaches

158
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: or emboldened the coaches with that sack at the end

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: of the game to seal the deal. Ziminez was a

160
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: healthy scratch, which is what you're referring today. He was

161
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: inactive today and as a result of Rochet steps in

162
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: and that was their lone sack of the game. But

163
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: no timing is everything, Bob and football, Whether it's takeaways,

164
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: whether it's penalties, whether it's sacks, and right when they

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: needed it, Raiders get down to the Giants thirteen yard line.

166
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: Giants are only up by seven. You need your defense

167
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: to close out the game. You don't want it to

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: come down to overtime. And the defense delivered and for

169
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: these last three weeks now, and this is something that

170
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to talk about because it's more

171
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: of a Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde showing in the early

172
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: stage of the season. This is now a unit that's

173
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: been fairly consistent against Carolina Kansas City in Las Vegas,

174
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: and we haven't been able to talk that way about

175
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: this defensive unit thus far. Yeah, you know, in those

176
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: three games that they've played, their last three games, think

177
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: about this too. Um, Carolina was two for fifteen on

178
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: third downs. Kansas City, which had the number one third

179
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: down offense in the NFL, they were limited to five

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: for twelve and the Raiders were four for twelve today. Um.

181
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: And you know when you look at that Raiders four

182
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: for twelve, only one of them was nine or more yards,

183
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: which they didn't hit. They were oh for four between

184
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: five and eight yards. That's where the McKinney. Pick six

185
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: came on a third and seven. So they've played pretty

186
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: good defense. They've gotten off the field. We know that

187
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: their offense is really a struggle right now, right they

188
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: can't really run stuff down field. Because we got Joe

189
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Judge at the podium, we'll continue this conversation. Let's hear

190
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: from the head coach of the Giants. All right, it

191
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: was there was a good team win. That was a

192
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: quality team we played against, very talented, very well coached.

193
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: You had a lot of credit those guys. You know,

194
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: they played very balanced as a team. Thing. Richie's doing

195
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: a phenomenal job coaching these guys. We're doing a really

196
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: good job of keeping these guys within the situations al right,

197
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: competitive and acting every game. I thought they're planning to

198
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: come out and how they remove the ball. You know,

199
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: some things we do adjust to as a team with thought.

200
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Patton and staffed a nice job of justin to what

201
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: they're doing offensively. I thought Team AC on the kicking

202
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: game was able to make some adjustments about the game,

203
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: give some plays down the stretch. Though Jason and staffed

204
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: a good job throughout the game in terms of using

205
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: some personnel. Its different adjustments Thebvius get going some different things.

206
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: But I'm proud of the way the team responded this

207
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: week to a lot of things. Is a short week,

208
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you come off, you know,

209
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: in terms of Mond night football, traveling, you know, the

210
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: deals we had as far as the COVID stuff with

211
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: guys in out the building. UM, so very proud of

212
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: the way the team came out and responding prepared through

213
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: whatever we got thrown this week. So it was a good,

214
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: well earned team victory. That being set a open thing.

215
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: Questions you guys have obviously everyone is important. How much

216
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: more important is it for the psyche of this team

217
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: heading into the Blade game? You know, Look, I say

218
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: it all the time. I mean every game is important,

219
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: um in terms of the psyche. Yet I think always

220
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: bringing that back to just the truth of what's on

221
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: tape and we talk all the time. This is a

222
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: very good team we play today and we know that

223
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: we play our best when play with our capable of.

224
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: But don't do things that eliminate our opportunities have success.

225
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: We know we're a good team too, we just can't

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: do things that are move you know, our opportunities have

227
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: success there's very small marginary in this league in terms

228
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: of our psyche. You know, look, our guys come back

229
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: to work every week, so when you turn the tape on,

230
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: you can show them the evidence of what they're doing

231
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: well and the evidence what we have to go ahead

232
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: and correct and what our plan is to fix it.

233
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: You know, that to me is really brings the psyche

234
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: really in the in the mode it's got to be

235
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: in because when someone shows you on tape the truth

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: that this is what you are as a team, don't

237
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: worry about anything on the outside, what they're saying, don't

238
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: worry about any opinion or whatever it may be. You

239
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: look at the tape, you see what it is, and

240
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: let's build what we do well, let's correct we have

241
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: to do better, and let's keep moving forward as a team.

242
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: So I've seen, you know a lot of things in

243
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: terms of our players. Uh, they've responded well to a

244
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: lot of situations on their way, and they've done a

245
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: good job as a team, sticking together and improving on

246
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. The testing, you know, the things that

247
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: you had to go through with the testing time to

248
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: come through with the two exceptions I'm talking about day

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: he pulled his like best first people this week and

250
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you have to show up for work and went out

251
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: and had you know, career type game. But you know, no,

252
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: he uh, he did a good job staying prepared. You

253
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: know it was in all the Zoom meetings and stuff

254
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: you could see. I mean, look, not speaking for his a,

255
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: but you can see the frustration level throughout the week.

256
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: If he's in a zoom meeting, teams on the field

257
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: practice and he's not able to be active and involved,

258
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're kind of one foot in in terms

259
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: of am I gonna be able to play? Obviously when

260
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: he got cleared, that was you know, big for us

261
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: as a team. And this guy went out there. He

262
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: had a good day preparing on Fridays, a lot of

263
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: things he had to get in. You know, that was

264
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: where the first day him moving around since the Kansas

265
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: City game, you know, on Friday, so we get in

266
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: there and for him to go out there and really

267
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: kind of get a different workload than a lot of

268
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: other guys on the team to get his body back

269
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: and moving and then get the first reps he's gonna have.

270
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: You know, from a scheme standpoint and adjustment standpoint, he

271
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: did a very nice job staying engage, staying ready, preparing.

272
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: You know, with a number of other guys on the team,

273
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: there are a lot of floating pieces this week. So

274
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: there was a large element of when we start talking

275
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: about the actors for the aim the enactor, who's gonna

276
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: be available, who's gonna be maybe a COVID flex. We

277
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: went in this week truly with everyone has to be ready,

278
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and we say that all the time. This week was

279
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: one of those deals where normally we're able to talk

280
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: through some of the inactives earlier in the week anticipation

281
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's three possible injury or game plan how to

282
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: play something. This is a week right there had to

283
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: look to play the coaches in the eye and staff

284
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: meeting early in the week and say, hey, guys, just

285
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: have them already. We figured this out in terms of

286
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: who's gonna be available. We'll figure it out to have

287
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: them already. And I think they was in that crew

288
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: of obviously staying ready, doing a good job preparing, and

289
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: obviously came out today and he did his job very well,

290
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: made a lot of place for so you talked about

291
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: how they responded. What does what does it tell you

292
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: about the group that you have. They responded this week

293
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: before all of the stuff that scoring. You know, I

294
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: wan't be honest with a lot of things, just kind

295
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: of re reaffirm all things I've known about them all along.

296
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: We were a very resilient team, were very mentally tough team.

297
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: We had a team and again, to me, the most

298
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: complimenting word you can use for any group of people

299
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: is team. And they stick together, and they work together,

300
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: they challenge each other, they come back, they respond, they

301
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: come back after tough losses. You can sit there and

302
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: you can lock your wounds, or you can look forward

303
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: and say, what do we do be sucessful this week?

304
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Where ball is going to kick off today at one

305
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: o'clock across what happened last week, So we couldn't do

306
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: on what happened, you know, on Monday night, and do

307
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: on any previous game success or failure in those games,

308
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, the team really just shows up and works

309
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: hard every day, work with a good attitude, and they

310
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: accept the challenges we throw their way. They embraced the

311
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: challenge of the teams are going to give them, and

312
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: they keep moving forward. Running talk Running come right back

313
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: to Jordan's films of running game with Booker gave you

314
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: and then also when Eli had to go in there

315
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: with Booker being hurt. Yeah, I think both backs did

316
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: a nice job today. You know, I thought book and

317
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Eli both ran strong with good ball screed. This is

318
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: a team that we talked all week about. You know,

319
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: they're a very effective team of punching the ball away

320
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: from me and stripping them all off. And you see

321
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: a lot of examples those guys holding up and look

322
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: for the strip out of the pile. Even on our

323
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: kickoff return the same thing. They were definitely looking for

324
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: the turnovers. And that's the way Richie coaches. They do

325
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: a very good job of understanding the fundmentals of the game.

326
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: It makes the biggest impact and that's you know, the

327
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: turnover's penalties, mental aires. So when you go into this

328
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: game that that was gonna be a big part of it.

329
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: Would make sure that we had very good ball security.

330
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: We didn't give any Actra opportunities and we had to

331
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: make sure that, you know, we're able to capitalize on

332
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: the opportunity they gave for us in terms of running games. Specifically,

333
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: the offensive line did a very nice job, you know

334
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: moving the ball. You know, look they got really good

335
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: defensive front. They really do their penetrate in front. They're

336
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: very disruptive. Getting off the field, you have to deal

337
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: with the element of size and speed. They're very long.

338
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: They played a good extension. So this team does a

339
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: very good job disrupting your running game. We're able to

340
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: go ahead the game plan put together this week. You know,

341
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: with the offensive staff, they did a good job of

342
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: seeing what we do well and what we can match

343
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: up against them in terms of what our teams had success.

344
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: I thought they found the right formula with that. And

345
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: we also left in a flexibility in the game plan

346
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: because we always do, but this week, especially not knowing

347
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: who's going to be available that as we lost Caden

348
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: in the game, you saw a lot more of Cunningham

349
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: playing that kind of jumbo tight end and able to

350
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: go ahead and create some situations that we could run

351
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: to favorable looks and create situations that we want to

352
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: see certain looks on the field from their defense. What's

353
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: uh the difference in this defense the last three weeks?

354
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Really you look where the last three weeks kind of

355
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: like you did last year, were really see what you

356
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: didn't I see the team as a whole but you

357
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: know directly, you know, on your question about the d offense,

358
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: I just see guys improving. When you talk about, you know,

359
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: what helps you improve? To me, you just keep it simply,

360
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: you go back to what's really important this game. It's fundamentals,

361
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: you know. You go back to playing with you know,

362
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: good zone vision, good man leverage, good breaks on the ball,

363
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: good footing, you know, good anticipation, not having bad penalties

364
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: within the game. We gotta keep playing with better pre

365
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: snap focus and post nap execution. Haw to keep doing

366
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: a good job of that. But in terms of this

367
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: defensive of why they're you know, improving, in terms of

368
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, doing it. To me, it comes back and

369
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: just how they stay committed to work and every week.

370
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: You know, one thing I've seen a lot of situational

371
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: improvements of you know, red zone defense improven throughout the season,

372
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: that the two minute defense improven throughout the season, you know,

373
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: finding different ways of creating pressure or if we're not

374
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: getting a lot of pressure, having coverage combinations that change up.

375
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: The other thing, too, is these guys are really learning

376
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: how to communicate and work and play next to each other.

377
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: Pat had a couple of calls and he literally drew

378
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: up in the standard we talked about last night and

379
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: staff meeting. Whatever we gotta do. We understand who this

380
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: team is an offensive defense kicking game. You gotta make

381
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: an adjustment. You do get it. I don't want to.

382
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to come out of this game and

383
00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: have if we can only get to this call. What

384
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: helped us as patting and staff sat there, they drop

385
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: up a couple of calls on the sideline. Guys understood

386
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: the fund amount, how to play it, communicated well, and

387
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: they're able to go ahead and make some plays on it.

388
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: That was big for us. You came into this game though,

389
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: two running backs, one half back and fullback. So when

390
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: which booker goes down that you can get back your

391
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: head think, you know, hope, boy, now we only got one.

392
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: It's a full back. Cullen can play as well too.

393
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: Colin Gillespie's you know, he works all the time in practice.

394
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: He's played for US some preseason as far as scrim

395
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: and stuff. Yeah, I mean this guy can play too.

396
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: So I mean everybody's accountably productive in their position. So

397
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: in terms of coming to the game, we came in

398
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: with three backs. So his booker Penny and Colin, so

399
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: they were all ready to go. The fact that Bill,

400
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: when you we're going to run the ball and elives,

401
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: you do only want back there to run the ball.

402
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: He gets, you know, twenty one yards on two carries

403
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: where everyone knows what's coming sort of you know how

404
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: with an offensive line that often is not able to

405
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: do that. How satisfying is that that you better with

406
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: that kind of scenario. It shows to me we're becoming

407
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: a balanced team. You know, on balanced teams can run

408
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: when they have to run and throw and they have

409
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: to throw. And that was a situation in the game

410
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: where we had to go ahead and run as much

411
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: time off the clock, be productive moving the ball, try

412
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to keep their offense off the field. So it became

413
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: obviously in that situation, not that we didn't throw it,

414
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: we did throw it, but it became more of a

415
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: primary want to run the ball and be productive moving

416
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: the ball. That Eli did a good job as far

417
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: as breaking tackles and extending the offensive line. The tight

418
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: ends did a good job as far as you know,

419
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: getting it going and making the blocks and move them

420
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: off the line of screams, take advantage of it. Look,

421
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: we've convience all the time. We've confident all our players.

422
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: We really do. You know, I don't blink no matter

423
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: who's in the game when they come over and they

424
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: tell me Bookers down. You know, my thought processes is

425
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: he okay. I'm never worried about Oh no, he's out,

426
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: who's in. To me, it's okay. They all prepare if

427
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: they're at the game, they should be prepared. You mentioned

428
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: path ruins he plays. Yes, you can mention. I'm not

429
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna go too specific into it, but he had a

430
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: couple of calls that he made adjustments on the bench

431
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: before going out there that last drive. You know, you

432
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: talk about, you know the guy that's killing us a waller,

433
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: and that guy is a good player. Now, I mean

434
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: they're find this guy all the way down the field

435
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: and seems all stuff. He's just he's a big target,

436
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: he got good hands, he's very fast and athletic, you

437
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: know obviously, and then you know Renfro early in the

438
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: game too. I mean, those two guys they're initiative deal with,

439
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: and then then you start tiing the backs. You gotta

440
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: focus on eighty three and thirteen, and Richie did a

441
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: good job with Gregg and those guys obviously making the

442
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: adjustments and you know, car finding the backs underneath, so

443
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: they kind of created the handoffs by just through the checkdowns.

444
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: Follow you guys have obviously had some difficulties and fourth

445
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: quarters this year it's hard for guys. Maybe you know,

446
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: it's maybe in the back of guys minds or not.

447
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: What do you make that that last defensive stand, you know,

448
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: because it's that's a pretty stressful time. Yeah, obviously it

449
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: was a big part of the game, you know, to

450
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: end the game that way, ended with a turnover, you know,

451
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: And I'm always talking through all the scenarios. So as

452
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: that's happening, I'm clicking back and forth and talking to Jason. Okay,

453
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: jaysonna use the time out coming up here? Just be

454
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: thinking about if we're down, Okay, is a tie game

455
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: where were down by one? If they go for two

456
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: and we got two time outs, I'll think about getting

457
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: arranged for a field. Le's think about what we need.

458
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Started going through the menu, you know, clicking back over

459
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: on the defense. Okay, what are we thinking here? You know,

460
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: one of them we want to call a time out

461
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: based on seeing what they're gonna do, So, you know,

462
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: I used that time out and that instance to make

463
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: sure that we had an understanding of offensively what they're

464
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: looking for. That personnel grouping, you know, what they want

465
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: schematically matches with. That was something that matched up into

466
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: what Pat was kind of drawn up on the sideline.

467
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: So we had a kind of a new call, new

468
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: personnel grouping from them, want to make sure that we're

469
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: on the same page, you know. Ended up being productive

470
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: for us overall. From More from More, obviously he's coming

471
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: on the last couple of weeks, but that that final

472
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: play from the Rise. Did you see the play as

473
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: it was happening. Yeah, I could see him kind of

474
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, making his way and get into the block

475
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: and get to him. But I'd say, this guy just

476
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: worked hard. He's He's a guy that when you watch

477
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: this tape coming out, we liked him. Obviously we didn't

478
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: get him in the draft, went to Pittsburgh. We're able

479
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: to get him through the fifty three cut. So that

480
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: was something that when happened was very good for us.

481
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: Uh see a guy, he works hard, hes got a

482
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: high motor, He's really learning the game. You know, he's

483
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: got a skill set like all these young guys do.

484
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: But all these rookies are really truly learning the game.

485
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: And we start talking about the pass rushers on the edge.

486
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: You know, you look at these guys throughout the league,

487
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: throughout just time. It takes these guys a little while

488
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: to get caught up. If there's a big difference between

489
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: playing against the tackles and the protections in the NFL

490
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: versus college, it's just st reality is it's very different.

491
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Everyone of those tackles. They're big, they're long, they're more athletic,

492
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: they play with better anticipation. Normally, it's tough to get

493
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: these guys off the spot and just go ahead and

494
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: walk across their face. So you have to have, you know,

495
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: what's your main move, what's your change up, what can

496
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: you go to? You know in situation. But he's done

497
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: a good job being productive force. He's made some plays

498
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: in a run game. He's made some plays now and

499
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: some pass rushes. He's doing a decent job force in

500
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: the kicking game. Um, like every player, it's a lot

501
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: of things. Just keep developing. This will be a good

502
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: week for him in terms of you know, coming off

503
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: and have a couple of days is by a week

504
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: of getting better understanding some things we get through this

505
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: stretch of the season. But I see an improving player

506

Speaker 1: who had a hundred twenty two total yard serve of scrimmage.

547

Speaker 1: There's the second straight game that he has surpassed the

548
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: century mark. Did a little bit in the receiving game

549
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: as well as the rushing attack. And with that being said,

550

00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: making him play. Um, you know, he just turned to

554
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: throw it up and give him a chance, and and

555
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,479

Speaker 1: him right there. We bring the buy into to bring

557
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: the win into the bye week. Yeah, I think it's

558
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: uh it's big for us to to get this one

559
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, a complete team win and and

560
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: uh you know, something we can build off of. So

561
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: still a lot of things we gotta work on and

562
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: work to improve that we'll look to do over this week.

563
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: But um, you know, it feels good to good to win. Damn,

564
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: did you need a great in this game. I mean,

565
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: you didn't throw any completion in the first day, but

566
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, there wasn't a lot of points. Uh, it

567
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: was a lot of times you have to lean on

568
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the running game. You know, there's not a lot of

569
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: production maybe for you offensively, but you know, it was

570
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of a game you had to like grind through

571
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: and stay close and not not you know, doing something crazy.

572
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you know, they're they're a good defense. Um,

573
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, kind of their scheme and what they do

574
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: lends itself to to that, and we knew it was

575
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those games. Um. I think the

576
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: guys up front did a did an incredible job getting

577
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: movement opened up holes and then uh you know Book

578
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: and and uh you know, Eli did a great job

579
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: hitting him. So, um, you know, credit to them, and

580
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: and uh you know, they're they're a good defense. Also,

581
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: you've had a lot of you know, adversity this week

582
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: as a team with all the pro big stuff, but

583
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: test a second, Like, dude, what does it tell you

584
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: about your group that you kind of grinded through that

585
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: and responsibly big today. Yeah, I think it's just a

586
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: credit to uh, you know, the focus of the group

587
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: and and guys, uh you know, preparing despite uh you know,

588
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: being out of the building or you know, whatever was

589
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: going on, just kind of staying focused on what we're

590
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: doing doing and making sure, uh you know, we were

591
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: ready to go. So, um, you know you're gonna have

592
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that come up, and it's you know, about

593
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: being able to deal with it and still get done

594
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: what you need to get done throughout the week. Sorry,

595
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: what did you observed and practice about Xavier McKinney's skill set? Yeah,

596
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: I think he, um, you know, he's a smart player.

597
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: I think he understands what quarterbacks are doing and and uh,

598
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: you know it was good good reading eyes, good reading

599
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, in his coverage and and he mays,

600
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot of plays back there. He's obviously

601
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: got tremendous physical skills and and uh you know he's

602
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: a smart player. And um, you know, played played big

603
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: time today. For sure. The wide receivers weren't especially involved tonight.

604
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: I think all only like four targets to the wide

605
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: receivers something like that. Was it something the Raiders are

606
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: doing to take them away? Was that kind of a

607
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: game plan like part? Do you think that is? Um?

608
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot, and it has a

609
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: lot to do with with how well we were running

610
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: it and trusting that. I think, Um, you know, when

611
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: when you're able to do that, when the offensive lines

612
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: playing playing like that, then then uh, you know you

613
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: lean on it and and um, you know we have

614
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: the you know, the versatility of a team as a

615
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: team to be able to play different ways, and um,

616
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: you know that was working, so so we stuck with it.

617
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: And um, you know those guys stepped up. They didn't

618
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: make some you know, big plays when we needed them. So, um,

619
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: you know this team, you know, our team, we can

620
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: do a lot of different things and and uh you know,

621
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: attack different ways. So um, you know, gotta uh keep

622
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: keep working on it. Is when the readers get the

623
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: ball for that last series there For an offensive player

624
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: like yourself, what is the stress level like when you're

625
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of watching that you don't have any control over it.

626
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: And then you talk about that defensive stand you guys made. Yeah,

627
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: I think, Um, in those situations, you're always uh preparing

628
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, both ends. Uh you know, if we get

629
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: to stop, if we're uh you know, in a four

630
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: minute situation where we're trying to you know, bleed the

631
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: clock or or we're you know, in two minutes and

632
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: we've got to go down and kick a field goals.

633
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: So you're kind of preparing for both those situations and

634
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: staying focused on that. Um. But defense stepped up and

635
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: did an incredible job like they did all games. So, um,

636
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, ton of credit to them out there. Where

637
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: are you able to watch? Did you realize when it

638
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: happened until you know, or it's just hit the crowd

639
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: and kind of tap off. Yeah, I was able to see.

640
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: It's hard not to watch what's going on, you know,

641
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: and and uh watching him out there. But um, yeah,

642
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: like I said, they stepped up, played played huge and

643
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: uh um some some really big plays down the stretch,

644
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: So ton of credit to them. At that time of

645
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: of the game, the defense is on there, the crowd

646
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: is rock and this building hasn't been like that a lot,

647
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: especially this year, and you know in recent years really

648
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: did you kind of take notice of that and how

649
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the energy level is pretty intense and emotional? Then? Yeah?

650
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: I did. I think, uh, you know, that was big

651
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: for us. The crowd really got into it down uh,

652
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch there and and uh you know,

653
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: we we really appreciate that support, and and uh, you know,

654
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: don't don't underestimate how they can, you know, impact the game.

655
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so they did a great job

656
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: and we appreciate all the support. The way Booker ran

657
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: the ball and then specifically when he was out, did

658
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: you sense that, Eli, Patty, You know, he's a guy

659
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: who likes to get his touches there at the end

660
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: of sense how he stepped up there. Yeah, like you said,

661
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: both those guys, uh played really well for us, and

662
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: and uh, I think a lot a lot of credit

663
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: goes to the guys up front. I think they did

664
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: a great job controlling the line of scrimmage, opening up

665
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: some some holes for those guys and and and they

666
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: found them and and uh, you know, played well for

667
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: us all all day. So I think both those guys

668
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: as well as offensive line, um, deserve a ton of credit.

669
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: Exciting is the possibility to get back. It's certainly have

670
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: all your playmakers posed by. It's how many better Kenna

671
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: Sultans being with everybody together. Um yeah, that's you know, exciting.

672
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: And I know those guys are working hard to get back,

673
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we'll keep keep preparing and keep

674
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: uh you know, game planning based on on who's available

675
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: and and uh you know, I think guys who stepped

676
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: up in their places I've done done a really good job.

677
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: That's Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. We're gonna have another player.

678
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: Head right to the podium here, so we'll stay downstairs here.

680
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,960

681
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: take us through your touch down. UM, it's a big play.

682
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: UM play that we worked on all week. UM. We

683
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: knew what kind of coverage and the kind of defense

684
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: that we're gonna play. And uh, DJ made a perfect throw,

685
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: literally a perfect throw, and trusting me with it. I

686
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: just went and made to play for the team in

687
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: that situation. I don't want Yeah, I mean that's just

688
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: that's literally who they are. UM as a defense, their coverage,

689
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,959
Speaker 1: UM in that formation. UM, literally all day that's that's

690
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: what they run. So we knew we were gonna get.

691
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: We just had to go make the play. You know,

692
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: a lot of adversity as a team this week with

693
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: all of them, the positive false positive went on, What

694
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: does it tell you about this group that you kind

695
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: of got through that and played the way you get

696
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, we just don't blink. We just didn't blink.

697
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: Um did everything we asked, UM did everything, had to

698
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: jump through all the loopholes and all that stuff, and

699
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: we didn't blink. UM and the coaches did a really

700
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: good job of kind of navigating everything and UM allowing

701
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: us to to be smart, be safe. We're still going

702
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: all working and we just we just handled it, UM

703
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: the best way we could. So I really just not

704
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: blinking and UM continuing to get the work done. Levan

705
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Kenny only got two targets, Candarius got one and uh

706
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Slate got one. Everything else went to the running backs

707
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: and tight end. Did you know that was gonna be

708
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: a big focal point? Um? I mean we were just

709
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: ready for whatever. UM and all those guys, obviously, I

710
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: know they would love more targets, more opportunities, but they

711
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: made some big plays with those opportunities that they got.

712
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: UM so UM. But at the end of the day,

713
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: we never know what can happen. Is there could be

714
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: a lot of bosson receivers tight ends. We've all got

715
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: to be ready, UM, And I know those guys are

716
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: going to continue to work and keep stepping up. Um,

717
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: just as everybody else didn't feel like you. What did

718
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: it feel like for you to make that catch in

719
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: here at the stadium erupt with cheers for you? It

720
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: was cool? Yeah, it was It was cool. It felt

721
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: good just mainly just really felt good just making the

722
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: play for the team. Uh and this we worked that

723
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: play a lot this weekend for it to for it

724
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: to come down and cash in that was big. So

725
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: it felt good. What did you make it? Last? Defensive stand?

726
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: And it's an offensive player? Stressful as a young side.

727
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a camera on me,

728
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: but I was pretty stressed out, but I had to

729
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: fill in. Our defense is gonna step up. They've been

730
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: playing lights out past three weeks, honestly, UM, and we've

731
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: been following their lead and uh and and tonight they

732
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 1: showed up for sixty minutes. UM. He was tasking him

733
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: with all their all their athletes over there and all

734
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: their guys, so UM credited them for this win. And

735
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: we're literally just trying to fall their lead, UM and

736
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: service them. So they stepped up big. I was. I

737
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: was nervous. We've been we've been in that situation a

738
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: lot of times over the past couple of years, so um,

739
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: but I definitely was excited when we got that ball.

740
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: That's Giants tight end. Evan Ingram. Let's take a quick

741
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: break when we come back with her from Zavian McKinney

Speaker 1: from the press conference room. Right after this, you were

00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: listening to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra Point on the w

744
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,080

748
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,040

Speaker 1: moved forward. Today's game breakdown is brought to you by

Speaker 1: for the official vehicle of the New York Giants. Here

753
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: are some numbers that jump out from a team aspect.

754
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: The Raiders were just four of twelve on third down,

755
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: one for six in the red zone, whereas the Giants

756
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: were six of twelve on third down. They were over

757
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: two in the red zone, but they did capitalize in

758
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: terms of some field goal opportunities and their defense did

759
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the heavy lifting to make the big

760
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: difference between the Giants of the Raiders. And how about

761
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: a hundred forty nine rushing yards for the Giants compared

762
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: to a hundred seventeen for the Raiders. This was though

763
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the six game this season that the Raiders had four

764
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards of total offense. But they were not

765
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: able to end up on the winning side of things,

766
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: as the Giants defense was able to get a pick

767
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: six as well as two other takeaways and they turned

768
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: that into ten points to help them top the Raiders

769

Speaker 1: by seven. And now they will enter the week ten

770
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: by as they will then gear up for a Monday

771
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: night game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before they kick

00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: off the second half of the season. Three and six.

773
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: Now through nine games and two and three at home,

774
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: let's head back to the podium. James Bradbury now addressing

775
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: the media on second in deception, you described like the

776
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: cover of your guys are in there and what happened

777
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: A yeah, we were in the cover of three. They

778
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: ran a double move. I was beat on double moving.

779
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: They saved my life so ask you guys a lot

780
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: of questions this year about your defense not finishing games.

781
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: What do you think you guys showed by finishing a game.

782
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I think that is showed that we're capable to finish

783
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, we've got a strong defense, and um,

784
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: we're here to compete. You know. Was saying that that

785
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: Patrick was drawing a few players up in the dirt

786
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: on the sidelines a little bit, particularly in that last series.

787
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Good mon talk about that and maybe there any specific

788
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: plays that made the difference on that last name. Um,

789
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say he was wrong and plays up

790
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: in the dirt, but what was going over some calls

791
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: that we might had a game plan to run this

792
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: week that we might run in like past past weeks

793
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: from the past. So we definitely knew the call, but

794
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: it just wants something we weren't prepared for. But he

795
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: prepared us on the southeline, and we went out there

796
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: and execute. Yeah, you had your taste of of Kelsey

797
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: last week, and taste in particular with the couple of

798
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: plays you got down in the red to get stand over.

799
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: I would I magically, we're pretty satisfied that ball sail

800
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: to go for you guys. Oh sure, yeah, I definitely

801
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: realized that he was a big, strong, fast guy, you

802
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: know within those plays. But you know he's in elite

803
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: tight end, has speed, has size, and he's strong too.

804
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: You know. I was trying to quick jam and stuff,

805
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: but you know it was up there fighting and sometimes

806
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: he was getting the best at me. But like you said,

807
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: I tried to win as many battle as I could,

808
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we came out on talk. A lot of

809
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: the verse did road from this career obviously career Nay

810
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: tonight which takes sex and part interception made. But how

811
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: have you seen him gross in Chicago. I think he's

812
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: just picking up the game of football UM at a

813
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 1: high rate. You know he first got here of course,

814
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: like we're all new, all rookies, you don't know what

815
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: all the leagues about UM. And also coming in he's

816
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: he's learning a lot and he's as cute when you

817
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: get out there. Like I said, he saved me today.

818
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: He's being aggressive making plays for us, and I'm thankful

819
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: to have him. That's John's quarterback, James Barber. Let's take

820

830
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: to the podium. Xavier McKinney now speaking to the media. Uh,

831
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: it was a long week. Obviously I didn't get to

832
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: practice those two days, um, but I was still in meeting,

833
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: so I just tried to stay locked in. Obviously I

834
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: didn't earlier in the week. I didn't know really what

835
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: was gonna happen um as far as if I was

836
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: gonna be able to play or not. But I just

837
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: tried to stay locked in, locked in throughout the week.

838
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: Do you used this to get out of practice? Down

839
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: next week? So what did do you use these results

840
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: to get out of practice? No? No, because it's too

841
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: big of a risk man. Uh. But now I just uh,

842
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: like I said, I just tried to stay locked in

843
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just follow the follow whatever protocols

844
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: that you know the NFL has. What did you see

845
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: under sets? Uh? Well, I just read the quarterback, Um

846
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I felt, Uh I weren't for going out. Um, and

847
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: I was kind of just all eyes on the quarterback

848
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: the whole time. Um, he was looking it down. So

849
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: U just trust my trust my instincts. And you know

850
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: I went and I made it play. What are you

851
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: thinking after you catch the ball? You see a bunch

852
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: of grooms in front of you. Yeah, touchdown? Um, mom

853
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: and tally every time I get the bars to you know,

854
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: get yards and try to get uh you know, make

855
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: a play, make a touchdown for our team. So um,

856
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: that was my my mindset through that play. About the other, uh,

857
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: the second one, Like I said, I just trust my instincts.

858
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: Actually told Brad earlier in the game they did the

859
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: same thing I broke on it, but they actually threw

860
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: a back shoulder and I told him after that, I

861
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: told him, I said, if they do that again, I'm

862
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: gonna beatre and I'm gonna pick it. And they did

863
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: the same thing, try to run a double move. Um,

864
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 1: pumped them and then threw it the same way he

865
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: pumped And you know, I made a play. So that's

866
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: what happened. No, I don't think I saved them, but

867
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: he was. He was there anyways, he would either one

868
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: of us would have made the play. But I told

869
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: him that I had his back, um, and he knew that.

870
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: And you know, I made sure that I, uh, you know,

871
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: accomplished that, and I did have this back on that place.

872
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: It's harder to focus on this game and get ready

873
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: to give him what happened here two. Uh, yeah, it's

874
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: a it's an unfortunate um, you know, uh, you know

875
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: event that's going on right now. UM. My prayers is

876
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: up for you know, him and his family and uh

877
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: the one uh the person that passed in their family too. UM.

878
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: So I don't really have you know, much comment on it.

879
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Further than that, having to be out of practice this

880
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: week because of the protocol, give you second thoughts about

881
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: not getting vaccinated. You said, what, you're not vaccinated, right,

882
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: So having to be out of the practice this week

883
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: as part of the protocol, give you second thoughts about

884
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine? Uh, I think it's you knows everybody's choice.

885
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: Everybody has reasons. UM, so I have my reasons. Everybody

886
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: else has every reason. So UM, you know that's what

887
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: I think. If I could follow up, what were your

888
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: you mentioned it? What what do you what were your

889
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: reasons for not getting it? Uh? That's for it's that's

890
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, for me, Um, you know, not for anybody else. Yet,

891
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: three uh, three rookies playing a side linebacker and Trent

892
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: Harris from the practice I called up Brochet makes a

893
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: big play. What have you seen from him? And just

894
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: what kind of challenges that for three rookies at a physician,

895
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: I think they've been you know, playing uh, playing the

896
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: ass off. Um. You know, they come come to practice

897
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: each and every day, Uh, there in meetings locked in. UM.

898
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: So you know, I know they're gonna go out there

899
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: and play hard each and every time. And I'm not

900
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: surprised when they make plays. I'm not surprised to anybody

901
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: on the defense makes place because like I said, and

902
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: like I said, before, we go out there and execute, Um,

903
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: we get to get the job done. Um, and we

904
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: just try to improve with each and every practice, in

905
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: each and every game. So always you're able to play

906
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: in this game earlier the week. Did you think you're

907
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: gonna be Yeah? I thought, Uh at first I was,

908
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: like I said, I wasn't sure. Um, at first I

909
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: thought I wasn't gonna be able to play, just because

910
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: if I didn't know how to really the rules were, Um,

911
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: but I didn't know that. You know, I tested negative, So, UM,

912
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't quite sure. That's why it was

913
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of a longer week for me because I was

914
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: in between you know, am I if I am I

915
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna be up? Or am I not gonna be up?

916
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: So it was hard to balance that. But um, when

917
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: I figured out and found out that I could play

918
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: and I practiced on Friday, UM I was I was

919
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: good to go. Yeah, that's Giant Safety. Xavier McKinney. I

920
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,000

Speaker 1: I was going power for the most part. Um that drive.

928
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: UM wanted to give a change. I wanted to switch

929
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: it up. UM against a good player, UM, you know,

930
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 1: and I just I just wanted to beat him around

931
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: the edge. You know, which is a great player. UM,

932
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: there's a great player. What has got through? And when

933
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: you're approaching and Derek are at the end of that

934
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: that play, because it looks pretty clear at him, just finish. UM.

935
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: It goes back and we'll be doing practice. UM, just

936
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: practicing finishing all the time. Just at the top of

937
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: your rushes. UM. You know that's that's been drilled hundreds

938
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: of times. UM. So you're in the game. You just

939
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: you just you just your body's taken over the ball

940
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: out even seeing it at that point, you see letter No,

941
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: I just heard the crowd started screaming. UM, and that's

942
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: how I knew. My head was turned the other way

943
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: and I saw that. I saw the crowd screaming. I

944
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: heard the crowd screaming, and you know, I just I

945
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: got super excited. Have you seen the Josh rush kind

946
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: of improved since your can you say that again? And

947
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: what ways have you seen this defense really grow? Cosswsh

948
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: impreaching people. Yeah, I think it's just everybody juttling together. UM,

949
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: everybody working hard in practice. UM, and and it shows

950
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: in the game. UM. You know, so I'm really I'm

951
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: really thrilled with this defense, the way we've been playing. UM.

952
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: But of course that's that's run for improvement. UM. So

953
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: we're back in the lab after this bye week, and

954
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: we got a tough opponent. Next was talking about he

955
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: was telling us a little while ago that if there

956
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: were that Patrick was kind of on the sidelines, he

957
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: was usually the word the phrase drawing. If he plays

958
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: up in the dirt for that last drive. You know,

959
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: stuff that you that's new and understood, but maybe it

960
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: wasn't in the game plan. Was was anything that you

961
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: did on that last play there part of that and

962
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: you if you recall of anything take it to play

963
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: that was key there. Yeah, we made we made some adjustments. UM.

964
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: You know, coaches great at coming to the sideline making

965
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: adjustments during the game. UM. It's one of the things

966
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm understanding being a rookie is that you know there

967
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: would be a lot of adjustments, um, coming during the game. UM.

968
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,479
Speaker 1: You know, we made some adjustments in the last driving.

969
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: It paid off last play on your play was then adjustment?

970
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: Maybe you know that was a play we ran before.

971
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: When you are on the fields, series, are you guys

972
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: talking about we gotta make a play where you just

973
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: say you do your job or one. So anytime you

974
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 1: have too many situation um, you know, for the past

975
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: rusher just on the field, I mean that's time to

976
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: show up. Um. That's for any past Russian. UM. So

977
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: you know that that's the moment that we that we

978
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: live for. Um. As those too many opportunities, opportunities to

979
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: help the team and get the quarterback down. You started,

980
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,040

1100

Speaker 1: left in the extra session. Once again, heartbreak city for

1106
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, who certainly have their fair share of

1107
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: close losses this season. They fall to three and five.

1108
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: That was the NFL in action. It was brought to

1109
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: you by Bigelow, Tity, grab a mug and t proudly

1110
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: as we are recapping the Giants victory over the Raiders

1111
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: twenty three to sixteen. Before we get more into that contest,

1112
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the

1113
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: w f A N Giants Radio Network, Boomer and gl

1114
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: get you back to work tomorrow morning with lots to

1115
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 1: talk about Giants and Raiders, plus the Nick and the

1116
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: nets all here on w f a N New York

1117
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: as we welcome you back to Mercedes Bands, Giants, Extra

1118
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: Point Lands Medal, Bob Papa Car Banks with you. So

1119
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: the Giants are able to hold off the Raiders, who

1120
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: had possession late in this game, got down to the

1121
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: Giants thirteen yard line. It was Quincy Rochet the strip sack,

1122
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams the recovery. This was certainly a game car

1123
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: in which the Giants defense put its stamp on it.

1124
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: And I just want to throw out some numbers here.

1125
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: The last three games against the Panthers, the Chiefs, and

1126
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders, those opponents have combined to go three of

1127
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: thirteen in the red zone. That's just twenty three percent

1128
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: deficiency and that is a big reason why they were

1129
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: able to close out this game today. Well, that's a

1130
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: sign of improvement, right. UM. I know when we were

1131
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: on the air, Bob was talking about where their overall

1132
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: ranking is in the red zone. But the things that

1133
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 1: they're trending towards the last three games, so that's gonna

1134
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: get that's gonna get um even more improved upon. But

1135
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: this was this was collectively a team win because there

1136
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: for their psyche, they needed it. They needed it from

1137
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: everybody and they got it. They got it from Evan

1138
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: Ingram Um. The run game gave it to him. And

1139
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: then this defense you score um, sudden change, you set

1140
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: the the the offense up for another score which was

1141
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: a field goal, um, and then you close the game out.

1142
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's what you want to see

1143
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: from a team when they don't have all of their

1144
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: their tools available to them. And you know, Bob used

1145
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: the word they played to their profile offensively, and certainly

1146
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: they did. Um. You know, the questions were asked of

1147
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: the wide receivers that you know you only had two

1148
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: catches and that you think the tight ends in the

1149
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: backs were gonna be there. That's who they are right now,

1150
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: you know. UM, I'm sure they can't say, well we

1151
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: can't we can't take deep shots down the field because

1152
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 1: our line won't hold up. They just say this is

1153
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: who we are. We all have to be ready to go. Well,

1154
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: and there was Bob the Raiders ninth pass defense ranking

1155
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: wise in the NFL. So their weakness was on the ground.

1156
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 1: They were giving up a hundred thirty one rushing yards

1157
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: per game. That was twenty nine and the Giants took

1158
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: advantage of that. And that's also something that we've talked

1159
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: about leading into games right and then the end results

1160
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily showcase that well. And also the other strength

1161
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: of the Raiders is uh. Although they don't have a

1162
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: big sack total. UH, they were number one in the

1163
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: NFL and quarterback hits. Max Crosby was number one individually

1164
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: in quarterback hits according to the next Gen Stats in

1165
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: Gockway lead the NFL, or leads the NFL and quarterback pressures.

1166
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: So when you're looking at the Giants in a situation

1167
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: like this, with a compromised offensive line as it is

1168
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,959
Speaker 1: and their inability to pass block, uh, it was gonna

1169
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: be hard to get the ball down the field. So

1170
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: I thought they had a good game plan. It's not

1171
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: like they they didn't try to force it, like they

1172
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: didn't try to say, ah, you know, we got Tony.

1173
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: We gotta throw deep. We gotta throw deep to this guy.

1174
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: They threw it to the backs that through it to

1175
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends. They ran the ball. You know. For

1176
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: everything that we criticized this offensive line for and rightfully,

1177
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: so you know, give them credit for one thing. They

1178
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: ran blockwell today they opened up a lot of holes

1179
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: for Booker. Booker did a nice job. You know, it

1180
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: gets you salivating thinking of man with some of these

1181
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: holes that were there with a healthy sake, which would

1182
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: then open up even more in the passing game. But

1183
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know, they won the

1184
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: football game. Uh. They've certainly, as we saw on Monday night,

1185
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: as we saw against Atlanta and as we saw against Washington,

1186
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: they certainly have found ways to lose games. So it

1187
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: got to give him credit for finding a way to

1188
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: win one. And that's what they did. Uh that they

1189
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: came out and they won a game against a team

1190
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: that was in first place in their division. Uh, coming

1191
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: off a Monday night game in Kansas City, which they

1192
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: easily could have won that one, and the fact that

1193
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: they had all these COVID issues this week that they

1194
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: had to deal with. So you know, you you gotta

1195
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 1: give him credit. Is it perfect? Are they a playoff team? No?

1196
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: Are they gonna win the Super Bowl with this roster? No?

1197
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: But if they're continued to beat playoff caliber teams, that

1198
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: tells you they are moving in the right direction. Yeah.

1199
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: And you know, the quarterback played a smart game. He

1200
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: he didn't put the ball in harm's way with the

1201
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 1: exception of the fumble, but the defense complimentary held him

1202
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: to three points, So that was good. They didn't give

1203
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: up a touchdown there, because you feel like if they

1204
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: would have given up a touchdown, like, can they score

1205
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: because and and then McKinney makes a play and get

1206
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: you a pick six. So I mean, I think if

1207
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: you're a Giant fan, you gotta be happy. And I

1208
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: don't think you'd be worried about what your draft position

1209
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: is and all that other stuff. Oh no, they'll be unhappy.

1210
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: Some not at all Giants fan, But there are some

1211
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: that were so invested in the the worst that could

1212
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: come with this season so that they could get all

1213
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: the change they desire in the draft picks that they

1214
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: want that they just won't celebrate the little things. But

1215
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: that's not that's not offense. It's not most fans it's

1216
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: a few that you know, um make their voices known

1217
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: as to how disgusted they are that the Giants won

1218
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 1: the game. But that's uh true. Fans will celebrate this,

1219
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: especially the improvement in the growth of this defense, and um,

1220
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: the contributions of players that you know often do not

1221
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: get the praise that that they should. Like in Evan Ingram,

1222
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,520
