We are joined by 12 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Bob Papa, who did the television call on NBC four 13 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: in New York. Bob, as we sit here right now, 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: the wind isn't necessarily the most important thing. The most 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: important thing for coach Brian Table is the checklist that 16 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: he went into this game with. I think we would 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: both agree a lot of those boxes did get checked. Yeah, Paul, 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: I thought i'd get a little more energy. Attie you 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: to open up the podcast. I'm tired. Come on. Well, 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: we spoke with coach Dable this morning as in our 21 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: production meeting, and he said, you know, not only is 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: he looking for execution by the players, but he wants 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: to see execution and cohesion by the coaching staff because 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: this is the first time they've all worked together as 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: one staff in a game situation. I thought that worked 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: out well. Um. You know, hey, listen, I think the 27 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Giants are probably gonna make some other team happy because 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: they got some nice depth at running back. I mean 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: watching those guys, every one of them run the ball 30 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: and then Matt breeded it and play in the game. 31 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: But everybody else I gotta turn look good. I was 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: impressed with the starting offensive line. Um, I thought even 33 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: the backup offensive lineman did a pretty good job in 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: some of their turns. Now, you gotta keep your eye 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: on uh Douglass, and you gotta keep Ryan Lemieux as 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: far as these injuries are concerned, because they still are thin. 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: But I think if you're a Giants fan, you come 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: out of this game feeling pretty good about the offensive line, 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: at least the starting group. I think you gotta feel 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: really good about what you saw to Davis, at what 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: you saw out of Daniel Jones. Albeit none of the 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Patriots starting defensive players played in this game, but kind 43 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: of the way they moved the football and uh, sort 44 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: of the cohesion that they had, and then defensively they 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: made place. My big takeaway from the game tonight, Paul, 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: is we're not. My big takeaway on the other side 47 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: of it, they've got to get better at special teams 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: because their margin for victory. They're not gonna be blowing 49 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: people out this year. It's still a rebuilding process. They've 50 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: got to be better on specials. And you know, the 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: questions about the cornerback position outside of a Dory Jackson 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: and the guys that they got lined up in the slot, 53 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: is still a big concern. Yeah. I don't think there's 54 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: any doubt that Aaron Robinson, who has shown so much 55 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: promise during the off season, had a very difficult night tonight, 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: Coach Gable saying he competed well, but there's no doubt 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: he's got to learn from his tape well. And that's 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: just that, Paul. Again, the Patriots didn't play any of 59 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: their starters on the offensive out of the ball either, 60 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: so he's going again, he was going against a lot 61 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: of guys that are probably not gonna even be on 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots or will be on another team somewhere, and 63 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: that's a big concern. I mean, I think that I 64 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: think he what he did, you know, he got he 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: had a good spring, He's had a good camp. But 66 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: you learn a lot in preseason games against other bodies, 67 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and I think the door is wide open for anybody 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: to go take that job. All right, let's talk about 69 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: some of the big names who did start this game. Jones, 70 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: you mentioned six of ten sixty nine yards was sacked once. 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: Uh say, Kwon Barkley only had four carries for thirteen 72 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: yards one catch for eight. But I thought those guys 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 1: did look like themselves in the early going of the game. Yeah, 74 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: I was happy with what I saw to Daniel Jones. 75 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: I liked the versatility of the offense, although it was 76 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: pretty vanilla. And again, stats don't tell the whole story. 77 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: Because Daniel Jones delivered the ball on time, on schedule 78 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: in a third down situation that Kenny Golladay drop, I 79 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: mean that should either have been first and goal at 80 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: the one or a Giant's touchdown. It winds up a 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Giants field goal. That's not Daniel Jones fault. Even even 82 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: at the in the end of the game, we saw 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Davis Webb misfire. So you're gonna look at Davis Webb's 84 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: numbers and you'll say, well, you know, his numbers weren't 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: that great. Well, you saw him get pretty I rate 86 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: with a couple of the receivers, and I'm betting that 87 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: Davis Webb has a better feeling for this offense than 88 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: the guys that he was barking at, having been with 89 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills before. So stats don't always tell the 90 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,679 Speaker 1: whole story. Don't miss your chance to experience a premier 91 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: hospitality experience watching Giants games, world class concerts in two 92 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: as a Giant Sweet partner, limited full season locations are available, 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: or plays a deposit for individual games called n YG 94 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: of his Giants dot com slash suites from more information. 95 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Webb did lead a twelve place sixty nine yard drive 96 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: for that final twenty four yard field goal that won 97 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: the game. Some of the lesser known players who were 98 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: fighting for room on the step chard You mentioned Antonio 99 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: Williams nine carries sixty one yards in a touchdown, Calvin 100 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: Johnson seven grabs for eight two yards. Us you wish 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: it was Calvin Johnson, it was Colin Johnson College. Yeah, 102 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: I wish out of Texas did get the ball ripped 103 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: out on one fumble. Also, quite frankly, you know Tyrod 104 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: Taylor one yards in his score. Some of the guys 105 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: on the depth chart actually showed themselves well yeah, I 106 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: mean listen after watching what the Giants rolled out there 107 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: at backup quarterback last year, which let's face it, that 108 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: was not NFL caliber, and the decision making process with 109 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: the previous regime, however, they came up to with the 110 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: conclusion that that was the best option, especially after having 111 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: called McCoy the year before. Go to Seattle and win 112 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: a game for you was just a huge mistake. So 113 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: now you know, if Daniel Jones gets hurt, which he 114 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: has not played a full season yet, and if a 115 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: quarterback has to come in and fill out a game 116 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: or finish out a game and maybe spots start for 117 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: a week or two, the Giants have a guy on 118 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: their roster that could actually go win a game, help 119 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: you win a football game. I want to go back 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: to Colin Johnson for a second, because I think Colin 121 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: Johnson the one negative is the fumble, right, he had 122 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 1: the fumble in plus territory ball security but I thought 123 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: he ran really Chris Browts. I thought he was decisive 124 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: in his cut, making good hands to the football yards 125 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: after the catch. He's a big figure in size, and look, 126 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: I know Kenny Golladay is not going anywhere based on 127 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: his contract situation and the amount of money owed to him. 128 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: But I could see Colin Johnson pushing Kenny Golladay for 129 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: snaps because I didn't see anything at a Kenny Golladay 130 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: tonight that makes you say, Okay, that's the guy that 131 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl in two thousand nineteen. Looked a 132 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: lot more like what we saw last year. Now, granted 133 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: it's preseason game number one veterans know how to get 134 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: themselves is ready, but you're trying to prove to a 135 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: new coaching staff that you deserve snaps, and I think 136 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Colin Johnson put a good foot forward. I thought C. J. 137 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Board did a nice job. I think Richie James is 138 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: a nice add on for supplementing this receiving corps. And 139 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: hopefully at some point the Giants are gonna get Sterling 140 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: Shepherd back. So I think there's positives in that kind 141 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: of stuff. One of the guys that left out here, 142 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: Gary Brightwell, he was really the number two back with 143 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: Brita out of the lineup, and boy look at him. 144 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Seven carries for forty yards, caught a couple of passes. 145 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned running backs at the beginning of 146 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: this thing. Giants have depth there. All these guys have 147 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: some juice. Yeah. Like I said, I think that the 148 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: Giants are probably gonna make a team that is needy 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: or will sustain some injuries in training camp very happy 150 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: because you can't keep them all. And based on the 151 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: way these guys are showing out, these young players in 152 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: the preseason, you know you're not getting them through waivers 153 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: to get him on the practice squad if they continue 154 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: to perform the way they're performing. Now, let me give 155 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: you some numbers here, Bob, because we've watched enough of 156 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: Giants football over the years to know these numbers just 157 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: don't seem to compute. First dounds, over four undred yards 158 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: of offense and over a hundred and seventy yards rushing. 159 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a preseason game or not. 160 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: That was an offense that was interesting to watch and 161 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: it was productive. Um. Again, I go back to this 162 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: theory and this thought methodology is I don't care if 163 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: it's backups. I don't care if it's two's going against twos, 164 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: or threes going against threes, or two's going again whatever 165 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: the company, or even the ones against the twos. How 166 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: many times in the past, basically over the last eight 167 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: or nine years, with the exception of two thousand sixteen, 168 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: and even the two thousand sixteen that was a team 169 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: that won all those games really on the strength of 170 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: their defense and fortuitous plays on the defensive side of 171 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: the ball. How many times have the Giants, whether it's 172 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: the ones against other teams twos or the Giants twos 173 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: against other teams threes looking at and get shut down. 174 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: They put up all that those offensive numbers tonight, and 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: I think you take a lot of positives at what 176 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: you saw. This is one of the better preseason performances 177 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: I can remember out of the Giants in a while. 178 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: Not that it means anything. Another guy I'll give you, 179 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: uh Beavers, I thought looked very good. Flat, I thought 180 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: looked really good in sort of the movement of his 181 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: hips and his open field tackling and all those other things. 182 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: Does he need to be refined, of course, but I 183 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: think there's some lot of positives from some of these 184 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: young players. You know, they only give up fifty two 185 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: yards rushing, but they did give up some big plays 186 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: in the passing game. You mentioned the coverage units on 187 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: special teams, too many penalties. There's a lot to clean 188 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: up here. But anytime you only give up fifty two 189 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: yards rushing in the game, you're pretty happy. No matter 190 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: who you played against. The net goes back to what 191 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: you said a minute ago. Yeah, and they well, listen, 192 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: they gave up a bunch of big chunk plays um 193 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: mostly and this is like football situational awareness. And then 194 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: I get this, would coach Martindale would say, and coach 195 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: Dable if this comes down the technique. You could see 196 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: pretty early in the game that the third string quarterback 197 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: for the Patriots does not have a good arm. Everything 198 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: is underthrown, everything's back shoulder. You know, Hoyer got the 199 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: ball up over the top much better than Zappy did. 200 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: At some point, guys have to be watching this. But 201 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: when it's not your turn and you're watching on the 202 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: sideline waiting for them to call your number to get 203 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: in the game, you gotta start thinking, hey, there's gonna 204 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: be a lot of back shoulder throws. I gotta be 205 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: ready for under thrown balls. And when I'm covering a 206 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: guy and he's got a step on me, I gotta 207 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: get my head snapped around because most likely the ball 208 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: is gonna be under delivered. Prove to me you can 209 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: throw it over the top. So that's a coaching technique 210 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: that I'm sure they will drill into these players about awareness. 211 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: I mean, how many passes we have to see back 212 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: shoulder under thrown balls and you're giving up chunk players. 213 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: You can't have stuff like that. I quick look at 214 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the rookie report. You've already mentioned beavers. Uh, we know 215 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: Neil and Thibodeaux did not play a lot in this game, 216 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: but when they were in there, they looked like they 217 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: did some nice things. I don't know if any of 218 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 1: the other rookies necessarily stood out. It was kind of nondescript, 219 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: but at least they got through it okay without doing 220 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: anything that would would put them in in the doghouse. Yeah, 221 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Wandell Robinson really didn't wasn't really a factor. Uh, 222 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, Thibodeau didn't do a lot, didn't play a lot, 223 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: but he did draw an offside penalty just based on 224 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: his presence. He drew a false start right away, so 225 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: it was first and fifteen. I think Evan Neil got 226 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: beat on one play, got spun around, but I thought 227 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: he held his own pretty good. Um listen, I'm gonna 228 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: go to um all right, so Zudo he had some issues, 229 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: but I thought he settled down as the game went on. 230 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned Cordell Flot. I liked what I saw out 231 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: of him. His awareness, Uh, he had a guy on 232 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: an out route, the hip flip and all that other 233 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: stuff was really good, excellent coverage. I was impressed with Beavers, 234 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: I thought. And even on the ball in the flat 235 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: that was dropped by the back, he was there. He 236 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: was in perfect position and a perfect form tackle. Not 237 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: his fault the guy dropped the ball, but I like 238 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: his instinct. I liked his awareness. Um. The other kid 239 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: out of Indiana that played backer for a little bit, 240 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: I like what I saw to him in this football game. 241 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, if you're looking at the 242 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: rookie class, I think that you come out of this 243 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: game and you feel positive about these guys being able 244 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: to contribute.

All right, now, I got one for you 250 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: because we talked to Dable in the production meeting and 251 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: he did talk about how competitive he is and how 252 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: much he likes to win it everything that he does, 253 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: even though when a preseason game is not necessarily a 254 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: huge deal. Yet on the final drive when they had 255 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: a chance to win the game, look at all of 256 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: the back of the depth chart guys he had in there. 257 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: They gave Platts come with the Bowl, they had the 258 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: International Alignment blocking for him. I think that says a 259 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: lot about this coach and how he wants to make 260 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: sure these players are ingratiated into his policies. You know, 261 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: Paul has been around this team since n You've been 262 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: around even longer. How many times have we seen in 263 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the first preseason game or the second, or maybe even 264 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: the last. And I understand the business reasons behind it. 265 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: There are times when you don't want to play a 266 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: guy because you don't want to give him an injury 267 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: settlement if he gets hurt, you're trying to hide a 268 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: guy to get him on your practice. What I got 269 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: all that, but he said something in his postgame press 270 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: conference that I think we'll win a lot of props 271 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: within that locker room in the sense that these guys 272 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: have worked really hard for me all spring. They've given 273 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: everything they can give me. They have busted their tails 274 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: in training camp to this point. Everybody that got on 275 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: that train, that suited up, that was eligible to play, 276 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: I wanted them to get in a game and get 277 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: game snaps. And if you don't think because these guys 278 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: are all I mean, they're they're together, they're a collection 279 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: there there there's a bond with all these players on 280 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: a ninety man roster. You don't think that guys feel 281 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: for guys that are busting their ass every day in 282 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: practice and then you get to a preseason game and 283 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: they get zero snaps on anything. I think by him 284 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: making sure and he said it in that postgame presser, 285 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: everybody was gonna get some snaps that dressed and were 286 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: eligible to play, and that goes a long way in 287 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: that locker room. Couldn't agree with you more. Bob. Final 288 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: thoughts Mike Kafka was the play caller tonight. He was 289 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: up in the box listening to coach Dable postgame press conference. 290 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: He seemed pretty satisfied with the way it went. And 291 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: I think if you looked at the Giants offensive drives, 292 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: there was creativity. They were able to run it, they 293 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: were able to throw it. What was there to like? 294 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: I think it worked out great. I mean they had 295 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: no substitution issues. The Patriots got called for too many 296 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: men on the field defensively, but not the Giants. I 297 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: thought they were pretty clean. And I think, look, it'll 298 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: be a work in progress, and no matter how they 299 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: decided to do this going into the season, I think 300 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: Kafka want a lot of points tonight with his head coach. 301 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: They're gonna be collaborative on what they do offensively. They're 302 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: gonna be collaborative as far as how they gain plan 303 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: and they will continue to work through this. I mean, 304 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: Dabel got this job because he's a damn good play caller, 305 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: and uh, he's got a lot of respect for Kafka, 306 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: and I think it will continue to be something that evolves. 307 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: But if you think that Brian Dable is gonna just 308 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: turn it completely over to somebody else. You're out of 309 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: your mind because that's what got you here, you know. 310 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: And and and Hey Parcels would weigh in on what 311 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: was going on with Ron Earhart as the offensive court, 312 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: and there were times he asserted himself. A head coach 313 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: has to asserted himself when he needs be and that's 314 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: what makes good head coaches great. Head coach him and 315 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: Kalfka they were a meat low fund this offense right now, 316 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: and it looks like it could be a good match. Yeah. 317 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I love the fact that he's brought in 318 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: people on his staff from different places that have different 319 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: sets of ideas and they we've heard the word collaborative, 320 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: they really have shown being collaborative. All right. That's Bob 321 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: Popa here on the Giant Subtle is the Giants beat 322 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty three to twenty one in Foxboro, the 323 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: preseason opener of the two season.
