Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of The Giants Little Podcast, brought

00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: to you by Citizens Official Bank at the Giants. It's

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: our Bald These breakdown edition of the Giants Little Podcast

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 2: Brian Boldinggger. Second straight week with us here and Baldi.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: This week we're coming off the w and the defense

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: held the Browns to just fifteen points in this game.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: I'll throw two numbers at you to start. Giants played

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: more cover one and blitzed more in this game in

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: week three than they did in weeks one and two combined.

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: So a little bit of a different game plan from

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: Shane Bowen.

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: No doubt he got aggressive and maybe, you know, just

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: watching Deshaun Watson struggle, uh these first two games, maybe

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: that's what caused it. But I mean they they said

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: everybody at some point, whether it was Jason Pinnock or

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: whether it was the inside linebackers on an X stunt,

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: you know McFadden and Oka Ake okay key, I mean

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: it was it was relentless and then you got great

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: pressure both inside and outside from the whole group. But

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: I thought they said, Okay, you gotta hold up on

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: him back end, but we're going to pressure Deshaun Watson.

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 3: They sacked him eight times. John, they hit him fifteen times.

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: And you know, just in the first quarter alone, John,

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: they sacked him three times and hit him five times.

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: And I believe in the the Rex Ryan school of defense,

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: like you hit quarterbacks early, they're gonna they're gonna be

30
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: affected later in the game.

31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 4: And I thought, I thought that paid off.

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that, and heading into the

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: game on Blitz's Watson at a twenty four quarterback rating

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: this year, I bet that the Giants saw that and

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: decided to take advantage of it. The other thing I

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: thought they took advantage of Baldy was Dwan Jones was

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: their starting right tackle a he was banged up from

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: last week. He was on the injury report. Bailey practiced

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: second even when he's healthy. The man's three hundred and

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: eighty pounds. He's a mountain. Mountains don't move very quickly.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: They just seem to want to put their speed rushers

42
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: on that side, and they just kept challenge his outside

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: shoulder the whole game.

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Brian Burns had his best game and a

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: lot of his rushers came from over there on that side,

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: but O Jilarry came over there, Cavon came.

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, if you can get underneath the one.

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: Because he's also not only is he three eighty, but

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: he's six foot seven.

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: Yes, so if you.

51
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: Can get make him Ben John, then you know they're

52
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: just ghosting him.

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: They were.

54
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: They were ghosting him through much of the day. They

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: didn't really have much of a choice. He did go

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: out of the game the week before, you know, he

57
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: was in, he was out, and so he is banged up,

58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, they got him on an island

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: and they took advantage of it.

60
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: And I think what you liked about the defense when

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 2: the offense and we'll get to that stop scoring in

62
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: the second half, and the Browns defense kind of looked

63
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: more like what we're used to the Browns defense being

64
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: the Browns got the ball three different times Baldy down

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: to twenty one to fifteen, one score game a touchdown

66
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: they could win, and the Giants defense got off the

67
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: field all three times, and the Browns didn't cross the

68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: fifty on any of those drives.

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: They closed it out, John, They closed it out. They

70
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: close it out with pressure. They never got the running

71
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: game going. And Deshaun Watson has hurt people in the past,

72
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: you know, just running and using his ability, and that

73
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: really outside one or two scrambles all day, that really

74
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: wasn't a factor. And so what you saw was you

75
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: saw a defense that played fast and tackled well and

76
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: then just kept the pressure on the quarterback two out.

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.

78
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: The guy you wouldn't think would be tracking down to

79
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Shaun Watson.

80
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: On some of those scrambles. Jexter Lawrence, who's three forty.

81
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: You featured on your breakdown the one outside right where

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: he kind of chasing down pushed them down. Then you

83
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: had that key fourth down where he tried to scramble

84
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: up the middle and Decks got off his block and

85
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: he stopped them on that play too.

86
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 3: You know, you know, not only that though he played

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: eighty percent of the snaps, John, Yeah, he played eighty percent.

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: At that weight, there's not many guys And I said,

89
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: and I believe this, i'man just watching the whole league

90
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: right now. He's playing as good, if not better than

91
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: any defensive tackle in football. I mean, whether the name

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: is Chris Jones, you're picking out there right now. The

93
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: way he's affecting the game, whether it's short yard is

94
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: passing situations, running, he's learned how to play it. His weight,

95
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: he's learned the conditioning is elite right now, and his

96
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: play is elite.

97
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: I will give the Giants credit stopping the run Foreman

98
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: in four just twelve carries for forty two yards, But Baldy,

99
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: I'll be honest.

100
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: I'll also say I don't know why the Browns didn't lean.

101
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Into the run more earlier in this game, given how

102
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: the Giants defended the run last week. The Giants end

103
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: up going three and out after the initial turnover on

104
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: the kickoff. In the touchdown, Browns get the ball back,

105
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: they run it once, then they try to throw it

106
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: five straight times. I didn't quite understand the offensive game plan,

107
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: to be totally honest with you.

108
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: Well, it's been going on. You know.

109
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: They lost badly to Dallas in week one, and they

110
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: threw it fifty one times in that game. And it

111
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: wasn't like Dallas jumped on top of I mean, it

112
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: took a while for him to really build a lead,

113
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 3: but they got away from the run in that game

114
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: as well. Now I know, obviously Nick Chubb isn't you know,

115
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: isn't healthy. He's not there yet. But still that's what

116
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski has always been. He's been a run first guy,

117
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: I mean going back to his days when he was

118
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: with the Minnesota Vikings, and so it seems like they've

119
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: lost their identity quite a bit.

120
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: I'm curious what your take is on Deontay banks Is

121
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: coverage in this game, Baldy, because even going back to

122
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: last year, he always seems to be in phase. He's

123
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: there to make plays, but whether he's not getting his

124
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 2: head around or locating the ball. He allowed some contested catches.

125
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: So just your general thoughts on how Banks covered in

126
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: this game against the Maury Cooper.

127
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know the opening touchdown, Tomor, I mean, Dante's

128
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: right there, he's I mean, they squeezed him right to

129
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: the pylon, John, like there's no more space. He's right there,

130
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: like his He's got to find a ball better in

131
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: the air right now. You know you had to pass

132
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: interference call. Okay, those things are gonna happen. I just

133
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: feel like he's got to locate the ball better and

134
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: and not and not panic like he's got great, he's

135
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: got he's a great athlete, but his ability to find

136
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: the ball, Like, I just don't think Amari should have

137
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: been able to catch that touchdown. He seems surprised by it,

138
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: but still like that's that's his play to make right there.

00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: Let me just I mean, you gotta give a lot

152
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: of credit here to this Elijah Chapman right now, John,

153
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you know he's a free agent at SMU.

154
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: He plays twenty two snaps. Okay, he gets it. He

155
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: gets his first sack. Okay, nice pick play, get no

156
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: Kara Key free and then he came loose. He gets

157
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 3: a sack. You know, Burns does the job of getting

158
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: the ball out and he recovers it. And then that

159
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: chasing down to Sean Watson where he turned around like

160
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: he did in the preseasone like that gets everybody's attention.

161
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's maximizing his snaps. They need good

162
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: defensive tackle played beside Dexter Lawrence. I feel like he's

163
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: he's earning more and more snaps right now as we

164
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: go forward with it with the way.

165
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: That he performed.

166
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll appreciate this.

167
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: Andre Pattison, you well know, is one of the best

168
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: defensive line coaches in the game doing this long time.

169
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: I talked him a couple weeks ago.

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: He told me that pound for pound, Chapman is the

171
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: strongest player in his room and giving he his Dexter

172
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: Lawrence in his room, that's saying something.

173
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, but it shows up though. It shows

174
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: up and how he moves bodies and even in the

175
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: run game. No, he just getting off blocks right now,

176
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: Johnny's I mean, you see him next to Dexter he

177
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: looks like he's undersize. Everybody does. But still he's getting

178
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: off blocks, he's penetrating, he's stacking and shedding like I mean,

179
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: I think Andre, you know is they've got themselves a

180
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: good rotational player right now in Chapman.

181
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's jump over to the offensive side of

182
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: the ball here, Baldi, And I think you got to

183
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: give a credit to Daniel Jones and the second half

184
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: of this game.

185
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Did he miss some throws. I'm sure he'd like back.

186
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: That could have put this game away, absolutely, But the

187
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: way he handled the Browns pressure. You look at some

188
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: of the advance statistics, some have the Giants allowing the

189
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: highest pressure rate in football in week three.

190
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: But he got rid of the ball quick on blitz Is.

191
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: He managed the pressure, he avoided the pressure on some plays,

192
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: and he only despite all those pressures, got sacked two times.

193
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I thought he handled that aspect of the game wonderfully.

194
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: Jim Schwartz is a He's a master me.

195
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 3: He's excellent what he does and mixed the saxis guys

196
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: in coverages in fronts. Oh my, the way you got

197
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: the reigning defensive player of the Year out there in

198
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett. That can ruin anybody's afternoon, but he stood

199
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: in there.

200
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 4: He took some hits.

201
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: I thought he saw the field very well, John Like

202
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: it wasn't just one read and throw. Like he made

203
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: some good decisions, good quick decisions from the pocket without

204
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 3: constantly leaving and you know, I mean, I thought he

205
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: walked into some sacks in some of the first games,

206
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: but he didn't do that yesterday. And then he took

207
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: care of the football. And so I thought the best

208
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: game that Daniels played taking care of the football, making

209
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: important throws, extending they had the two long drives in

210
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: the first half. They ate up a lot of time

211
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: they had to convert third downs. He was a big

212
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: part of that. I thought he hit his check down

213
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: to Singletary when he had to, or to to you know,

214
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: to Tyrone, whatever it was. I thought he really saw

215
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: the field well against the team that does a lot defensively.

216
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, the Browns at home have been one

217
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: of the best defenses in football over the last couple

218
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: of years. To go seventeen of nineteen in the first half,

219
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: ball Dye and he had more passing yards in the

220
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: first half of this game than the Browns have given

221
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: up on average per game at home over the last season.

222
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: Wow.

223
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: Now I didn't know that stat, but that's pretty impressive.

224
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: But look, they play a ton of man coverage and

225
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: they they're good at it. I mean, they've got three guys,

226
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: you know, in Denzel Ward, in Emerson in Newsom that

227
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: can flat out out, you know, and then that frees

228
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: up linebackers to come in different fronts and twist stunts

229
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. And I thought he was I

230
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 3: thought he was excellent. And then you know, you got

231
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: to get to two guys. You got to get to

232
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: Singletary because you know, I've been watching this kid since

233
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: he came out of Florida Atlantic John Like, he has

234
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: a great ability to make people miss. He did the

235
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 3: other day hit over one hundred yards of offense. He

236
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: could keep you on schedule. You know, the run at

237
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: the end of the game obviously to put it on ice.

238
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: It's just a heads up play. I don't know if

239
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 3: anybody said anything to him, but you know, off and

240
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: break one for forty three and you're gonna walk in

241
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: the end zone and say, you know what if I

242
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: down it right here, we could take a knee. In

243
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: games over, there is no there is no more decisions

244
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: to me. So that was really impressive. And then you

245
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: can't say enough about Maleak, like he's just we knew

246
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: he was gonna be good.

247
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: John.

248
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: We all watched him in training camp, off season, we

249
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: watched him play, But now were you see him in

250
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: the games? That play where he took the ball right

251
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: off of Martin Newsom's, like right out of his hands

252
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: with Emerson.

253
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it was Emerson on that side.

254
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Martin Emerson out to twenty three like that.

255
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: That play is just he just took it right away

256
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: from him, you know, and came down for twenty eight yards.

257
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: And then just the patients.

258
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: I thought that Daniel showed him the first touchdown where

259
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: he's basically, you know, just running that post corner and

260
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: you know he's beating a really good corner right there.

261
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he does everything so fundamentally sound, two hands

262
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: on the ball, looks it into his hands.

263
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: He's special. He's really special.

264
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: And then I think the thing that really the thing

265
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: that caught my eye John was on their opening touchdown

266
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: drive fourth and two or fourth and one, they're at

267
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: the forty three yard line, like it's only seven nothing,

268
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: there's no reason.

269
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 4: To gamble right there. Not necessarily it's.

270
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: Only seven nothing, but they hand off him off to

271
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: the on the fly sweep and the Brown's got eleven

272
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: guys at the line of scrimmage and his speed.

273
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: Just outran everybody to the first down marker.

274
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 3: That was you know, you you got a guy like

275
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: that that can just make those kind of key plays.

276
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 4: You got something.

277
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: And they had him on that slot by in the

278
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: second half that that could have been a touchdown.

279
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: That that that could have put the game away.

280
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: And I think I'm happy you brought those two points

281
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: up in the same answer ball D because you talk

282
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: about how much man defense the Browns play, Well, if

283
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna beat a team that's really good at man defense,

284
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: you need a guy like Elak Neighbors that you.

285
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Can trust to beat man to man.

286
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: And you know what, even when he's covered, you could

287
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: still throw them the ball because he's gonna make a

288
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: crazy catch like he did on the sideline.

289
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

290
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing, John is the elite guys No

291
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: matter you put your number one corner on it there,

292
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter like when they're when they're that good,

293
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter how you he's gonna start to see

294
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: bracket coverage. I mean, they're gonna they're gonna start, really

295
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 3: but but you know Windale showed up yesterday. Slayton caught

296
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: a big third down catch. You know, the tight ends

297
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: caught key passes. So Malik is gonna get the best

298
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: corner uh most weeks, he's gonna get bracket coverage down.

299
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: They're gonna see what he's done to great corners like

300
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 3: you saw in Cleveland. But that's what you want with

301
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: that player. And he plays. He plays much bigger than

302
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 3: his height. He's so strong and then he's got to

303
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: burst and the ability to separate. That is real comforting

304
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: for any quarterback because he does separate. But even if

305
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: he has covered, he's still open.

306
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: And finally, I want to tip my cap to Brian

307
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: Dable in this game, Baldy, I thought in that first half,

308
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: well time screen passes. I talked to my buddy, he

309
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: covers the Browns, and he said after the game, he

310
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: called every play that team's attacked the wide nine with

311
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: and he timed them perfectly and a lot of them worked.

312
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: So he created a lot of chunk plays out of

313
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: easy throws for Jones on some of those screens and

314
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: other plays to counter what Jim Schwartz likes to do.

315
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 4: Well.

316
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: Not only that, but that's I mean, that's what you

317
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: got to be able to do to Myles Garrett if

318
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 3: you just let, like, look, Andrew battles him all day

319
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: out there. And Andrew played well, really well at times,

320
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: I mean a couple penalties whatever, but you know, nobody

321
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: just handles him, nobody, and so the best thing you

322
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: could do is slow him down with the screen game.

323
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 3: And I thought, you know, the screens to Singletary that

324
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: really paid off. And so I think they I thought

325
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: it was a really good game plan, John. I thought

326
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: they were really in sync all the way around the

327
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: offensive line for the most and the other one other

328
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: key thing I thought in those screen games is you're

329
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: seeing some real athletic ability on the perimeter, you know,

330
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: whether it's Runyan or John Michael Schmid's had a big play,

331
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: you know, on a Singletary screen. I saw some real

332
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: athletic ability from the guys up front. And you you

333
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: need that change up in this league right now. You

334
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: need to get to the perimeter.

335
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,160

Speaker 2: And look you mentioned it And this will be the

345
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: last question on the game before you do a couple

346
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: on Dallas here, baldy. Andrew Thomas is usually a brick

347
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: wall over there. Nobody beats him. Miles Garrett, holy cow, Like,

348
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: I've never seen Andrew Thomas get And again, he didn't

349
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: play poorly, but I've never seen him lose as much

350
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: as he lost in this game. Because Miles Garrett, as

351
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: we talked about this last week, he's just one of

352
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: one at two seventy, the way he can move. He

353
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 2: just looked too fast and athletic for Andrew Thomas, who

354
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: was a Pro Bowl caliber offensive tackle.

355
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. So I started, I'm watching the defense

356
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: and watching Cleveland watching the offense, and I'm watching Andrew Thomas,

357
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: and he got off to a really good start, and

358
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, I'm gonna do like I didn't know

359
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: how it was gonna finish, but I think, I think

360
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: this is a perfect day to do something with Andrew

361
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 3: Thomas against the defensive player of the year. So I'm

362
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: looking at three or four good plays and I'm seeing

363
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm seeing like, Okay, you know, I'm gonna hold this

364
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: guy down so long. Yeah, you know, whether it's a

365
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: spin or no, he's a freight train. He's just a

366
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: freight train. I mean, nobody comes that low and that hard,

367
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: and you feel a little helpless, and even hip blocks

368
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: don't really help once she starts that momentum of driving

369
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: to the quarterback.

370
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the Cowboys. Giants can't enjoy

371
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: this win for long. Unfortunately, Buli, they had a quick turnaround. Luckily,

372
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 2: the Giants are hosting the Thursday night game, so Dallas

373
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: has to travel.

374
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: Giants will be at home. Is it too simple?

375
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to complicate football, but I don't want

376
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: to make it seem idiot proof either. I mean, at

377
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: this point, Ky, don't you just run the ball Dallas

378
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: until they prove that they can stop it. At this

379
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: point with as bad as their run defense has been

380
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: the last two weeks.

381
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you go back to the playoff loss

382
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: to Green Bay. They just pounded him. You go back,

383
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: you know, two games ago and what the Saints did

384
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: to them. They just pounded him, you know, and then

385
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: you knew the Ravens wanted to do it, and they

386
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: did it. And it seems like, honestly, Dallas has tremendous

387
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: speed on defense time. But I mean, you could go

388
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: in any era. The way you counter speed is running

389
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: right at it. That's and they're not good. They're not

390
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: good at holding the point inside and they're not they're

391
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: not technically very fundamental in the run fits, and so

392
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 3: you get out of their gaps. And whether guys are

393
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: undisciplined or whatever, or they just don't know, they don't

394
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: play sound run defense, and so you have to go

395
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 3: into the game thinking we have to get just started

396
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 3: like this. And then the other thing is like you're

397
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: just not going to get good tackling from either corner.

398
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 3: Like Trayvon Diggs might go for the interceptions, but he

399
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 3: is he's not looking to make first contact if you

400
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: get in the outside right now, He's just not looking

401
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 3: to do that.

402
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Carson missed the tackle early in that

403
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: game yesterday. He allowed the big run I think to

404
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: agal or write down the right sideline.

405
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: He missed the tackle.

406
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: You know, in baseball you're told about being good up

407
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: the middle, right catch your shortstops center field. And the

408
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys right now with defensive tackle and linebacker Baldy, there's

409
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: just not a lot going on down the middle of

410
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: that defense.

411
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean, look it's it's Mike Tank. You

412
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: know the speed of Overshawan is a fast guy, but

413
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: you know they're not big inside right now. I don't know,

414
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: honestly what Eric Kendricks really has left. You know, he

415
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 3: has not been a game changer in with the Chargers

416
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 3: last year in Minnesota. Let him go for a reason.

417
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: He looks like you know, Zimmer, you know, I mean,

418
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 3: Mike is a good coach, but he I don't think

419
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: it's a position of strength right now. They drafted Mazzie

420
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: Smith like, he doesn't look like an anchor inside right now,

421
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: and so Odega Zoo is a pass rusher, like.

422
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 4: They just don't have the type.

423
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: Of beef that you need in there like the Giants

424
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 3: have with dexter to really kind of boggle things up

425
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: in the middle.

426
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

427
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too inside baseball here on

428
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, BOLDI, but I watched Mazzie Smith in Michigan,

429
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: and you can have a conversation as the whether or

430
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: not you would ever think he could rush the passer.

431
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: That was a fair conversation to have.

432
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: Yes, but that guy was able to extend, lock people

433
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: out and play the run exception only want in Michigan.

434
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what's happened to him, but he looks

435
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: like a completely different player in the NFL.

436
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny, like you don't notice him John

437
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: like y you watch it, you watch Cowboy games, You're like,

438
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: you don't know if he's on the field not on

439
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: the field, Like I can. I could go find Elijah Chapman,

440
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: I say, I know he's on the field. I have

441
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: trouble finding Mazzy Smith in these games. And is he

442
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: is he on the field, not on the field? Is

443
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: he in the rotation? Like he's not making anything happen

444
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: right now?

445
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you all right.

446
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: Offensively for Dallas, much like they can't stop the run, Baldi,

447
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: they really can't run the ball. You talk about Eric

448
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: Hendricks not having a lot left, you know, Zeke short yardage,

449
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: pass protection, sure, but he just doesn't have much juice left.

450
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: In terms of the run game, Rico Daddle is fine.

451
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: This seems to be like kind of all on Dak

452
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: Prescott here to make that offense run.

453
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: I agree.

454
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 3: I mean they're playing two rookies on the offensive line,

455
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: you know they and and look Cooper bb at center

456
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 3: right now, getting at left, Tod. I mean, I think

457
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: they're gonna be good players. I think they drafted good,

458
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 3: but they don't have they Look I played for the Cowboys. Yeah,

459
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: go back to Walt Garrison, Tony Dorset, emmittt Smith, Ezeke

460
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: and his prime.

461
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 4: Like they've always had a great running back.

462
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: This is the first time I can ever even you know,

463
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: if you look at Tony Pollard and so many.

464
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: Other guys, Marco Murray, Murray.

465
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: Like the league in rushing. I can go baack to

466
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: the history.

467
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: I never remember a Cowboy team that didn't have a

468
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 3: workhorse running back, and they don't have one right now.

469
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

470
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just seems and look and I feel like

471
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: if you can, I know, it's hard to do because

472
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: he's a great player, but if you can figure out

473
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: a way to limit ceede Lamb. You know, Brandon Cooks

474
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: I still think is a good player, But Dak doesn't

475
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 2: seem to be able to have any comfort level close

476
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 2: to what he has with CD with his other wide receivers.

477
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: And look, Jake Fergus is a good player too. But

478
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 2: I think if you're an opponent those guys you want

479
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 2: to throw to them, You'll live with that if you

480
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: can prevent those explosives to eighty eight.

481
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 3: Now the offense is going for They're gonna move him around.

482
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: He's gonna be in motion, he's gonna be the slot.

483
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you're a man, if you're a

484
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: zone like he. And this, by the way, I always

485
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: said this about CD going back to Oklahoma John. He

486
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: gives your team toughness, Like that guy in the middle

487
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: of the field. You remember those hits from that Andre

488
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 3: that Adrian Colbert that you had, like late hits over

489
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: the middle. I forget is maybe I got the name wrong,

490
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: but I mean that guy will take a hit in

491
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: the middle of the field with the best of him,

492
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: get right up. He's fearless, and he gives that team

493
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: a lot to the offense goes through CD. When he

494
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: gets rolling that offense, it looks totally different.

495
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: Baldy, this is one my friend. Appreciate the time as always.
