13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: over the Giants to wrap up the two thousand twenty

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: one season. Is the Giants finish up at four and thirteen,

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: three and five here at Midlife Stadium. They have lost

16
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: their last six to close out this season. Can hear you, dude,

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm hearing the mike. Can't hear me? All right? Well

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 1: you eventually here is you? I hear you loud clear?

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: You know here the mike check not at all. Say

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: you're here at things, Bob. I was getting the mic

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: check from downstairs. Now it was all good. I hope

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it's all good. All right, there you go. I am

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: doing all right, Bob. Well, the season is in the books.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: As I was mentioning, as the shortuately close it up

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: with a six game losing streak. This was a game

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: in which obviously the offense struggled once again. You look

27
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: at the numbers, they're not pretty. Fifty nine plays which

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: only yielded one hundred seventy seven yards. They had three turnovers.

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: And I know it may be really putting things under

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: the microscope, Bob, but in fairness, the turnover differential is

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: what to me has defined the final stretch of the season.

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: Putting the offensive struggles aside, you're talking about a team

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: now that finishes with sixteen turnovers to three takeaways in

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: these final six games. That's minus thirteen. At one point,

35
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the Giants were plus five and turnover differential this season

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: after the first eleven games of the year. Uh. Well,

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: it coincides with the quarterback being changed and Mike Lennon

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: as your backup quarterback and and uh having Jake from

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: start a couple of games for you I'm not sure.

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, from is a developing young player who came

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: into the league and when the Giants were in need,

42
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: they signed him off the practice squad. I'm not sure

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: if he's you know, an NFL caliber quarterback. And so

44
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: that's what you're kind of playing with this season. So

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: down the stretch and and glennan Um, you know, his

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: struggles in his career speak for themselves by virtue of

47
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: his record. Uh So, yeah, turnovers, But you know, it's

48
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: it's a lack of any kind of offensive production that

49
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: this football team has that you know. It's it's miss throws,

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: it's dropped passes, it's poor blocking, it's design, it's everything.

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: And four and thirteen is four and thirteen. Like, there's

52
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: no way to alibi around this. And there's gonna be

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: massive changes coming up with this organization starting in the

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: next day or so as far as what they're gonna

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: do with uh front office, coaches, layers, what's gonna happen?

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: Because Lance, it's five years in a row now with

57
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: double digit losses. Uh, it's five straight losing seasons for

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the first time since the Dark era of the seventies.

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: And you know, this is like the seventies all over again,

60
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: because outside of the two thousand sixteen season, you know,

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the big time losing began in two thousand thirteen, so

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: it's basically been, you know, eight of the nine years,

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: it's been some big loss in big losing seasons and

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: big numbers, and something has to change, and I would

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: expect things to start changing pretty quickly. I want to

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: read your two statistics that pretty much sum up exactly

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, bringing it back to the days

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: of the seventies. This was the first time in consecutive seasons, Bob,

69
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: that the Giants had an offensive player not surpassed three

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns since nineteen seventies seven and seventy eight. That's

71
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: number one, and then number two is Kenny Golladi did

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: not get a touchdown today, ka Darius Tony was inactive

73
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: and Evan Ingram had a chance to pass Tony for

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: number two on the receiving yards list. He did it.

75
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: So that means that is the first time in the

76
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Error since the four Packers that a team

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: has had its top two players in receiving yards, which

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: is Galand and Tony each finish with no touchdowns. That's remarkable. Well,

79
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it's remarkably sad. It's remarkably sad that in this era

80
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: where you see teams with players that are of lesser quality,

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: where skill level of a guy like Holiday or a

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: guy like Evan Ingram or a guy like Darius Tony

83
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: takes scheme ways to get guys points and guys score.

84
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants offensive production in the last two seasons.

85
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: I gave this during the broadcast, their lasting points per game,

86
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: yards per game, yards per play, and red zone. That's

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: over a thirty three game span, right, because sixteen and

88
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: seventeen is thirty three dead last in the NFL and

89
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: all those categories. And they did something this year that

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I never I didn't think was possible. They were outscored

91
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: seventy nine to nothing in the last two minutes of

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the first half for the entire season, and they added

93
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: a field goal to that. Today. You know I'm counting that, Yeah,

94
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: seventy nine to nothing. Only the nineteen seventy two Colts

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: in a fourteen game schedule didn't score any points in

96
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: the last two minutes and a half. And you can't

97
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: win that way when you're giving up a ton of

98
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: points at the end of the first half, and it

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: started right out of the gate in Week one. It

100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: was a problem all season long as far as defensively

101
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: given up scores, but to never be able to answer

102
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: and score yourself. Um and I think last week in Chicago,

103
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: the confluence of events from the Logan Ryan dropped interception

104
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: that led to a barrass field goal, and the misplay

105
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: of the kickoff by Pharaoh Cooper that led to a

106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: safety to the free kick and the drive that led

107
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: to a field goal. The eight points in the last

108
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: sixty one seconds basically summed up the Giant season in

109
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: a nutshell. And it was a domino effect because one

110
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: negative thing basically led to another negative thing, regardless of

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: what facet of the team you're talking about. So the Giants,

112
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: just to add on to this offensive theme that we're

113
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: talking about, offense wound up scoring twenty one points or

114
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: less fourteen times at seventeen games this season, twenty or

115
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: less thirteen times, and then obviously the last few games

116
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: they have struggled to even get to ten. As they

117
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: fall to Washington two to seven. Here at MetLife Stadium,

118
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: we will step beside. We're gonna hear from head coach

119
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, We're gonna hear some player reaction. We'll get

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: into big picture themes as well as we move along.

121
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: But right now, let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

122
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Here on the w f A n Giants radio network,

123
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas sinks the game winners, sending the Nets past

124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: the Spurs in overtime. Listen to boomerang gel on Tomorrow

125
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: morning from six to ten w f A, n W

126
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: n f A, n f M New York Giants get

127
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: their lone touchdown Jake from connecting with Darius Slayton that

128
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: accounted for their seven points. They fall to Washington twenty

129
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: two to seven. You know, coming into this weekend, when

130
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: you want to look at it him, I have the

131
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: NFL stat pack in front of me. So through the

132
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: first six team weeks of the season, on average, teams

133
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: average points scored for the year through the first sixteen

134
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: games of the season was three hundred and sixty five

135
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: point to per team, So the average team had through

136
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: sixteen games. The Giants coming into this game had two

137
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one, so they had a hundred and

138
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: fourteen less points then the average in the NFL coming

139
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: into this game, the average team coming into this game

140
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: had scored forty one point six touchdowns this season. The

141
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Giants coming into this game scored twenty three. That's half

142
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: of what the league averages. It's hard to win in

143
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 1: the NFL. And and for the defensive shortcomings, and Carl

144
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: talked about it down the stretch as far as you know,

145
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the loss of Blake Martinez early in the season, and

146
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: it really the Giants didn't have that tackling machine on

147
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: the inside. But that's not an excuse. Because other teams

148
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: have players hurt. You have to have other people that

149
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: can step in and do a reasonable job in replacing

150
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: one of your better players. They may not be as

151
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: good as your better player, but it can't be this

152
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: gigantic drop off. And then I thought, listen, the defense

153
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: kind of hung in there, you know, um, but at

154
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: some point when time of possession, when yards, when plays

155
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: start palling up. And I'm not alibying for bad defensive

156
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: plays during the course of the season, but what I'm

157
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: saying is it becomes a cumulative effect when it's three

158
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: and out, three out turnovers just like last week is

159
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: a perfect example. The Giants come out empty, Mike Glennan

160
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: gets sacked fumbles the football and the defense's first snap

161
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: is first in goal at your own two yard line.

162
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Like you, these kind of things are you can't overcome that.

163
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: That's how they got into a fourteen nothing hole. So

164
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: they lose to Washington to seven. Will step beside come

165
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: back yet? Head coach reaction to player reaction. As we

166
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: move forward here, we'll be back right after this. You

167
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: were listening to Mercedes Bends Giants Extra point on the

Speaker 1: Mercedes Bands Giants extra point as the Giants fell to

171
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: Washington seven. Here at MetLife Stadium, the coaches press conference

172
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Mercedes Benz, the official luxury

173
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: vehicle of the New York Giants. Let's listen in to

174
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: what head coach Joe Judge had to say. Alright, guy,

175
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: as well, Look, obviously we didn't do enough to have

176
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: success today on the field. Your credit. That team obviously

177
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: played better. They plays when they had to. All right,

178
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: there's some things that we could do in a game better.

179
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: It give us a better chance. But ultimately, all right,

180
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. All right. I'm proud of the

181
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: team for things they've done and fought through and stay

182
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: together as a team this year. Ultimately, it's not good enough.

183
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: The fans are better. It doesn't meet our expectations as

184
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: a program. It's not gonna be acceptable, and the things

185
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: we have to correct we're gonna start on immediately going

186
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: forward in the future and the start of the next season.

187
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: All right, that being said, I'll answer any questions may have.

188
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: How confident are you that you're gonna be able to

189
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to go move forward. I'm not gonna

190
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: worry about these hypotheticals right now, Jordan. I appreciate it,

191
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: understand it's gonna be the question of to day. All

192
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I just understand it kind of files on my you know,

193
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: baseline answer of the hypotheticals. So can you can you

194
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: explain the thought press behind those uh two qbcs you

195
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: guys ran. Yeah, so we're backed up. We had a

196
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: shot of the play action and get the ball out

197
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: in the flat. Okay, we gotta make the throw and

198
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: hit the guy right there. Eli was open. There would

199
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: have been a good shot coming off to you know,

200
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: the goal on there to give us some yards and

201
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: get some space and then ultimately, look, we're backed up.

202
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: I want to get room. We're gonna push it on forward.

203
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna live through what happened last last week

204
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: in Chicago. So we're wanna give ourselves room for the punt.

205
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: We did that. We gave ourselves room for the point.

206
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: We protected it, We covered well, we played the field

207
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: position situation I want to play. We held them on

208
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the next drive and that's why we want to go

209
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: ahead and play that now. We want to do that

210
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: all the time. We're backed up. No, but that was

211
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: a situation the day with where we were, and I

212
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you know the things that

213
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: we had issues with last week in Chicago, that that

214
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: was not going to repeat itself. Well, had faith in

215
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: your players. I mean, do you feel like that shows

216
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: faith though, Well, I think it shows faith in the

217
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: fact that the way I knew we're going to cover

218
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: the kick and then play defense right there. So in

219
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: the situation what it was, that's how I wanted to

220
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: play right there, Dan, So you get to work immediately,

221
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: unfixed and stuff. What's what's at the top of the list.

222
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: There's a number of things, guys, there's a number of things. Obviously,

223
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: we have to have better offensive production. Okay, so we'll

224
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: go through, you know, the evaluation process and get into that. Um,

225
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: there's a number of number of other things on the

226
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: list as well. I'm not gonna go through a full diagnosis. Um.

227
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it takes much thinking to go ahead

228
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: and list the offensive production as an obvious thing. We've

229
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: got a correct immediately around here. Possession in one you

230
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: ran a vertical players post going up a gut. Their

231
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: linebacker came through on blocked. Was it just they made

232
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: a good defensive player. Was there something that you thought

233
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: you could see in the scheme? There? There was something

234
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: we saw on tape in terms of how those defensive

235
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: ends have played no situations in terms of taking it

236
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: and some success, and other teams have had all similar

237
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: plays with these guys. They made a better play. They

238
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: got us right there. Um, you know, obviously adjusted, we

239
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: don't want to how that happen again, we start working

240
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: more vertical. That call vertical. What happened they looked like

241
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: from had him and the miss judge that or something

242
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: that vertical from what I was outside of his reach

243
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: right there. I just look at the outside of his reach,

244
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, Joe, when when did you expect to

245
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: sit down with John Mara and have a conversation about

246
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: the state of things in the typical end of season conversation.

247
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: We will definitely be this week. I'll keep that between

248
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: us internally in terms of when something scheduled too far

249
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: away more close do you think this team is to

250
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: being a contender? Well, I made a statement last week,

251
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: and when I talk to you, guys, I tell you

252
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: the truth. And so I told you last week. I

253
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: know that we're closer than we are further away. Okay,

254
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: So I'll leave it at that right there. I know

255
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: the targets of things we have to fix. We've been

256
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: moving in the right direc action. I talked last week

257
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: at length, okay, which I'm sure everybody here's you know,

258
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: listen to several times by now. All right about you

259
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: know the things that are going in the right direction

260
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: of this program. We have to build on those things,

261
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and the things that we have to fix we have

262
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: to fix immediately. That's just nature. What's gonna be, guys.

263
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: The team a little six straight games and this is

264
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: it in some ways of relief to end this season.

265
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: Now and kind of move forward and try to build.

266
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: You know. The funny thing about this is, you know,

267
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: there's only one team every year, no matter what the

268
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: results are, that has a happy ending to their season.

269
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: That's just the reality of it, you know. I mean,

270
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: and when you get to the stretch of the season,

271
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: it's a long season, grinding season, and you build relationships

272
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: and you go through all the grind with a lot

273
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: of players that you really build and support, you know,

274
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and really rely on each other. Right, So at the

275
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: end of anything like this, I don't think there's ever

276
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: for any of the other thirty one teams, you know,

277
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: any feeling of relief to be done. I know, for

278
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: me personally, it doesn't matter what the situation is. Okay,

279
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you're playing last year, we're playing for a different situation. Uh.

280
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: Teams have been part of in the past, and you're

281
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: plan to keep advancing or get to the final whatever

282
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: it may be. You know, but this year is really

283
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: no different. You know. Mentally, you're always trying to stretch

284
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: it out. You know, when you walk in every week,

285
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: you're thinking, Okay, this could be my last opportunity to

286
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: coach a guy on a Wednesday, a Thursday or Friday.

287
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: You're trying to extend those things, trying to make sure

288
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: you don't waste those opportunities. Personally, That's how I feel.

289
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: So I've felt in every post season game ever played,

290
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: last year's finale, including this year. Okay, you look at guys.

291
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys you know that are not

292
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: under contract. Right, there's a business element to this. You

293
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: don't have a crystal ball and exactly what the future holds.

294
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: And you look at those guys that you know, you

295
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: obviously have strong ties to and bonds to, and you

296
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: try to soak up every second year with those guys,

297
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: and you want to see them have success. You want

298
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: make sure that you do everything you can to give

299
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: them an opportunity to get you know, there their hard

300
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: work rewarded. Okay, that's a big part of it right there.

301
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: But you know, to me, you know, as I've been

302
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: taught before, like you know, look, it's always a crash

303
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: landing except for one team. Did today feel? Is there

304
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: any more pressure coaching today's game? Was it a more

305
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: difficult game to coach given the stakes? Maybe your job

306
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: other jobs are on the line. Again, I don't get

307
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: in all the hypotheticals. My focus all week was on Washington.

308
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: My focus is on our players. I owe it to

309
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: them out with to the organization not to get distracted

310
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: by outside noise. Okay, that's the reality of what it is.

311
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: All right. You're in the National Football League. It's high stakes, guys.

312
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Every game is important. Every game is important. Okay, it's

313
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: important to play the first game the same as a Laska.

314
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: It's all the time about playing every play the same,

315
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: regross of situation or circumstance. All right, we always take

316
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: that approach. We take that attitude. I talk to you

317
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: guys all time. You guys, als know what roller coaster

318
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: we ride. We don't do that. We stay right here

319
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: as an organization, as a team. We came in every week,

320
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: whether it's Monday or is a you know, situation that

321
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: came on Wednesday. We get after the tape and we

322
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: keep it as what are the facts, what's on tape,

323
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: what's the truth? What do we do well? We got

324
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: to build on where things we have to improve on,

325
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: and that's what our focus going forward right now. Look

326
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: back at the season. What are things that we did well,

327
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: What are things we can build on? What things we

328
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: have to improve on. And obviously you start with what

329
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: you have to improve on, you narrow that down, you

330
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: attack it with a plan of how you're going to

331
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: make that better. Okay, you map out how you're gonna

332
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: go down the course at action, and then you go

333
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: ahead and you identify from what we're gonna build on,

334
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: how do we tie that into all our adjusting things

335
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: we have to make better. Well, later later the week

336
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: up Ron Rivera said that he was upset by some

337
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: of the things you said. You can talk Aroun about

338
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: that right there, guys, you can talk to Ron about that. Okay,

339
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: I've talked around myself. We talked on a fittleg look, um,

340
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: you can ask him about that. What did you on

341
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: the field? What's that? Did you try to clarify it?

342
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: When you know? Now, keep anything I said to Ron

343
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: between me and Ron. This way, I'm with everybody. What

344
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: have you learned after two years now being a head

345
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: coach versus what you expected versus with this reality of

346
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: turned into a whole lot, a whole lot. And this

347
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: is probably a you know, a better answer for a

348
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: later time. You know, I can tell you, you know

349
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: last year and I'm not going to go in the

350
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: diagnos of everything. But last year, there are a number

351
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: of things that I learned of how to do on

352
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: the job. Okay, a lot of things you learned, you know,

353
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: how to go and operate within it. You know, probably

354
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: this year some of the things I learned, there's a

355
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: lot more of what not to do, to be honest

356
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: with you, all right, And some of it was, you know,

357
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: things I was in aolved in or something that I've observed.

358
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of things this year that

359
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the results aren't what we wanted. So

360
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: while there's a number of things I learned of how

361
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: to do it, there's also a number of things I've

362
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: learned of that will never happen again. Like there's a

363
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: list of things that it just tattooed. You know, you

364
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: touch out hot plate, you learn it's hot, right, you're

365
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna touch that thing again. So there's a number of

366
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: things right there that you know, I've got from this

367
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: year that I actlutely understand that you know, sometimes more

368
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: valuable lesson as you learn what you can't do again

369
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: or what you can't allow it happen again. Okay, So

370
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: I file everything, Okay, I file everything in terms of

371
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: what I learned, everything is an experienced, everything is a lesson.

372
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: The important thing with whatever happens any lesson you learn

373
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: is that you move forward with it, make the right

374
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: decisions going forward with the information that you've gathered and learned.

375
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Taking a picture of this family. I think it's really

376
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: secret that programent change of GEM. I mean, how does

377
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: that impact you through the change of jam Again, Look,

378
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get any hypotheticals. All that Dave's beak

379
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: for Dave, Okay, all that Dave's speagret Dave. It was

380
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: actually on this day two years ago, where do you

381
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: introduced this head coach and you kind of laid out yours.

382
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: You're this to where you thought you guys were gonna go.

383
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: Do you feel two years later that you have to

384
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: defend the progress that you guys have made, or at

385
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: least the progress that you see that you've lived in

386
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: terms of like two years, the data or anything or

387
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: I don't really get too sentimental about anything like that,

388
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: But in terms of defending uh, Look, no, I'm not

389
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: in the mote of defending anything. I'm more in the

390
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: motive just looking at you know, what's the truth, What's

391
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: the reality and where are we at? You know, where

392
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: do we have to to get where we want to go?

393
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: What do we have to improve on immediately? And that's

394
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: where the mode I'm in sit on down to lay

395
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: at the plan. You know. Look, I'm the harshest self critic.

396
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: I could be okay before I get to anybody else,

397
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: any player, any of the coach. I always start with myself,

398
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: What could I have done better? What am I not

399
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: doing well enough that I have to adjust? I always

400
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: start with that, and then I have to look externally

401
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: of Okay, what else has to be adjusted? What else

402
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: has to be fixed? So as we go through this process,

403
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure we make all the necessary adjustments.

404
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: And obviously, look, the fans is are better what we

405
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: gave him this year. Our teams are better what we

406
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: accomplished this year. I have much higher expectations as a team.

407
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm never going to compromise or the negotiate on that, alright.

408
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: My expectations are what they are. As I said a

409
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: number of times, I'm very proud of a lot of

410
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: things our team has done through a lot of adverse

411
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: this year. There's a lot of circumstances they've handled without blinking.

412
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: Very proud of that, Okay, I'm very proud of that. Ultimately,

413
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough, okay. And my focus right now

414
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: is already on next season immediately and changing everything we

415
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: have to, making every necessary adjustment that we come out

416
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: next year and we play the type of football and

417
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: have the exact results that we want to have as

418
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: an organization. I'm not going to go in any specifics

419
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: right now, Jordan's in terms of you know, hypotheticals, I've

420
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: already identified the obvious critical first need would be to

421
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: improve our offensive production. Wasn't good enough. Okay, alright, Hey,

422
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: guys appreciate this, alright. So that was Giants head coach

437
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,800

438
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: Giants Extra Point Lance Medal. Bob Papa with you recapping

439
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: the Giants season finale here at MetLife Stadium. They fall

440
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: to Washington two to seven. Today's game breakdown is brought

441
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: to you by your local Forward stores visit by Ford

442
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: now dot com. Ford is the official vehicle of the

443
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: New York Giants. So that will run you through some

444
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: team statistics which certainly show disparities in favor of Washington

445
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: total yardage three twenty five to one seventy seven in

446
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: favor of the football team. On the ground, Washington had

447
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: two hundred twenties x rushing yards, the Giants just ninety four.

448
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: So there's the second team to surpass two hundred rushing

449
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: yuards against the Giants. The Eagles did it also coincidentally,

450
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: here at MetLife Stadium Red Zone efficiency Washington was one

451
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: for three Giants were over one. And then of course

452
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: the turnovers minus three for the Giants. That means when

453
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: it comes to the entire season, they turned the bowl

454
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: over thirty times and they wound up taking the ball

455
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: away twenty two, so I minus eight turnover differential on

456
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: the season, and they lost the turnover differential battle in

457
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: each of their final six games. Speaking of takeaways, well,

458
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan helped the Giants do that in each of

459
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: the first eleven games of the season. He also chatted

460
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: with reporters, let's listen in this season right now. Adversity man,

461
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: tons of adversity this season, for sure. I don't think

462
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: it met many people's expectations, not mine, um, but I

463
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't had a ton of time to

464
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: recapy it. I'm sure tomorrow or whenever we have another

465
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: press conners, I have more thoughts on that. I really

466
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: was focused on that game, but just a lot of

467
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: adversity and and see how we handled it. I see

468
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: how we handled it going forward and back in August.

469
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Would you ever think if you sitting here in January,

470
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: standing here in January full and thirteen No, I don't

471
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: think anyone thought that definitely was not the expectation. Didn't

472
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: didn't go our way. Um for not getting it done

473
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. It didn't go our way.

474
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Obviously in my career, I haven't been in this position before.

475
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: I've spoke on that, um and that's a good thing.

476
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: But I've learned the other side of it now and

477
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: learned other side of the spectrum and try to get

478
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: some um, some meaning in between. You know, I've been

479
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: in Super Bowls years ago who cares? And then now

480
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: being playing a game out of playoff contention. It's it's different,

481
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, at least it gives me perspective

482
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: on both side of it, and I think a lot

483
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: to learn from the season. Yea, I don't think you

484
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: have much experience with this, but does this feel like

485
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: a team where coaching change could be made? Does this

486
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: feel unsettling or unsettled to you right now to see

487
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: situation of what's happening next year? I mean, the one

488
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: thing I know about the league is there's always changes.

489
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: Like you know, I've there's always changes. It's inevitable in

490
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: this league that the roster is gonna cham I mean,

491
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: I was the last game we played together with those players,

492
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: with those with my teammates collectively, so I can't I'm

493
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: not going to speak on anything that I don't know about.

494
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. I don't think anyone can predict that.

495
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: But I know that there will be changed because there's

496
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: always changed on roster and guys like that. So it's

497
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: always tough. Some guys played their last game NFL today,

498
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: That's always tough. Nothing is guaranteed in this league. So

499
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I'm just grateful for the opportunity to take the field

500
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: with these guys. And I didn't get the reward at

501
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: all this year, but some guys and most of the

502
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: guy's spent a lot of work this year and just

503
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: unfortunately and't go our way. But that's just how it

504
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: goes sometimes. What do you think as a defensive player

505
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: when you see your offense reading QB sneaks from you

506
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: know to three yard line, third and eight mean, you know,

507
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: second to nine, third and eight. I mean the game

508
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: is built on field position at the end of the day,

509
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: it's built on field position. And if they felt like

510
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: they wanted space to punt, I mean that happens, and

511
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: to flip the field and play good defense regardless however

512
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: the offense is playing UM. It's just the margin era

513
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 1: for the defense goes up or down how well the

514
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: defensive playing gives the offense more margin of air. There's

515
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: been teams UM that have won with dominant defense and

516
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: mediocre offense, and we just weren't dominant enough to win

517
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: that way this year. So obviously, with the injuries that

518
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: we've had on this team, especially on offense, that they

519
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: weren't going to be the highes scoring offense this year.

520
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: And when you lose your quarterback, you lose a lot

521
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: of your skill players, you lose half year old line,

522
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have that production that you might have predicted.

523
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: But I saw the Jacksonville Jaguars carry their carry their

524
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: team to an FC championship. I've seen, I've seen it happen,

525
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: and just you gotta find a way to win, and

526
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: I felt like we didn't find We didn't get a

527
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: good rhythm and find a good way to win UM

528
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: fast enough this year. And obviously with everything going on

529
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: COVID and injuries and whatever they may be that everyone's

530
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: dealing with around the league, we just didn't get our

531
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: rhythm and didn't find our way to win soon enough.

532
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: In this year, you cut the lead twelve seven, and

533
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: then they came down and scoring on you. What you

534
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: see in their offense and what you guys, Yeah, that

535
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: was that was the worst part of the day in

536
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: my opinion of offense give us an opportunity to just

537
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: to make it a game there and um, schematically they

538
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: just stretch and cut back on us. And then I

539
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, until I watched the film, I

540
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: don't know why or how or what it may have been.

541
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: But I just think schematically they had some scheme runs

542
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: that were able to stretch and and cut back. Gibson's

543
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: a good warrant runner and he's able just to stretch

544
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: out our defense and cut back get downhill. We don't

545
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: want to have vertical teams and in our run defense,

546
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: that's not what we're looking for. But until I watched

547
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: the film, I'm not gonna know why or how. I

548
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: just think it was a schematic thing that they had

549
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: some good plays called to to run the ball didn't

550
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: give us a lot of opportunities in the air of

551
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: the second half. Is they got his hands on the ball,

552
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: where are we to get some sacks. I think they

553
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: really just kept on the ground and played the field

554
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: position game like we talked about, in a way to

555
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: close the game out. So we got to get a

556
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: stop on that drive. And that's just that's just why

557
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm up here not pointing fingers, not point

558
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Blamer's plays that we could have made on our side

559
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: and make that a game going into the fourth were there,

560
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: Joe did get fired, What would you think about? I'm

561
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: not gonna answer hypothetical. So when you ask me, you know,

562
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: next season or whatever. But I mean, if I don't know,

563
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: we need what say you when you got fired, We're

564
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: gonna say, I mean, has a non answer a hypothetical question.

565
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know. You know, with your defense, you

566
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: brow up the team like Jackson all right, they had

567
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I can think of like

568
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: three premium pass rushers right to get to the quarterback

569
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: in order for this defense to get where you wanted

570
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: to be. How much do you think that that's something

571
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: that needs to be addressed. Um, I don't know. Azzlar

572
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: is a good It's been a good addition to our team.

573
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll need Blake Martinez to be that. I

574
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: mean He's a huge piece of what we do. When

575
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: you lose a player like Blake and pep our defense changes.

576
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: Our defense change. We have to run it differently and

577
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: that just adjusting throughout. Take Crowder how to step up.

578
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: This year, we kind of got a lot of other

579
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: guys in that other linebacker position. Through addition, Jalen Smith

580
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: has been here a month, you know, b MAXs been

581
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: here two months. Um, So Reggie's Raglan has been our

582
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: first year in our scheme. So in order to be

583
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: that type of defense, needs your your key players on

584
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: the field. And unfortunately, when we had some of those injuries,

585
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: it just changed what we had to do and um,

586
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 1: and we gotta figure out a way faster to get

587
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: on the same page so we could be a dominant defense.

588
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I do think we have personnel to be that. We're

589
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: gonna have some high pick in the draft or or

590
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: so some high picks in the draft obviously, and I

591
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: do think that you can try to win that way.

592
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: And all I can control is is when I'm on

593
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: the field, and that's predominantly on defense. So that's what

594
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: I you know, care about. Thank you all right. So

595
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: that was Logan Ryan speaking with the media. Following the

596
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: giants twenty two to seven loss to Washington, he was

597
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: asked about the run defense. Washington over two hundred rushing

598
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 1: yards today, eight runs of ten plus yards and then

599
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: they had a twenty seven yard run as well as

600
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: a twenty three yard or so. That was a big

601
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: point of emphasis for Washington. They had success. They were

602
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: able to dictate the tone that way. We will certainly

603
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: get into more from this contest as well as the

604
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: season overall and areas that the Giants gonna have to

605
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: address as the off season begins for Big Blue. We

606
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: will be back right after this. You were listening to

607
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: Mercedes Bands Giants Extra Point on the w f A

608
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: N Giants Radio network, driven by the Hesty truck back

609
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: of the Pressure. How did you get sack back? At

610
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: the forty nine yard lot, Renzo Carter got pressure on

611
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback and dropped Panache for Carter's fifth sack of

612
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the season, and that was his fourth straight game with

613
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: at least one sack to close out the season. It

614
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: is today's play the game. It's brought to you by

615
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: your local Ford stores, Visit by four now dot com. Ford,

616
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the official vehicle of the New York Giants as we

617
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: willcome you back to Mercedes Bands Giants at for point

618
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: Lance Meaddo, Bob, Papa. Jeff Fiegels joins us as well

619
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: as we are recapping Washington's twenty two to seven victory

620
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: over the Giants. We heard from Logan Ryan and he

621
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: talked about the offensive struggles and whether or not that

622
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: put pressure on the defense. And it got to the point, guys,

623
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: it seemed as if down the stretch of the season

624
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: we were talking about in order for the Giants to

625
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: pull off a win or change momentum, you needed essentially

626
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: the defense not just take away the football, but score

627
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And the last six games, Jeff, they ended

628
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: up with four games in which they had no takeaways.

629
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: And that's certainly not gonna do anything in terms of

630
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: changing field position for the offense, you know, change position,

631
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: special teams. Defense score points. First of all, we gotta

632
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: be able to move the ball to get in in

633
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: a position to score points. So um, the turnovers obviously

634
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: hurt any team, and I think that this team has

635
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: been a victim of that. And going now four games

636
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: in a row, so um, you know, you throw a

637
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: pick six, you're down three nothing and all of a sudden,

638
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, they're the pick six. Can

639
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: really turned the ball pall game around because your offense

640
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have the ability to go down to score points.

641
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: So I think the defense did a nice job in

642
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: the first half, um and you know, going into the

643
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: second half they kind of wore down a little bit.

644
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: And that's what we talked about Bob earlier. And also

645
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: the other thing that Logan Ryan brought up, And I

646
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: think this piggybacks off of the point that you had mentioned.

647
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Off the top. There were notable injuries, There's no doubt

648
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: about it. Blake Martinez Jabril Peppers is the two guys

649
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: that he referenced. But even with those injuries, still a

650
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: little bit surprising that there were at times somewhat of

651
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: a drop off in terms of the consistency of the

652
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: defense overall. Yeah, I mean, I I agree. You can't

653
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: look there's teams that win in the NFL and continue

654
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: to win the NFL that lose front line players. Jeff,

655
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're on a team that lost Jeremy Shocky,

656
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: who was one of the premier tight end is in

657
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. You still went on to win a Super Bowl.

658
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: You lost veteran corner and Sam Madison. Yeah, I mean

659
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: you've got to have some you have to have guys

660
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: that could step in depth. You've got to have better depth,

661
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: just like we talked about. And how does that depth

662
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: come from. It comes from the draft. It comes from

663
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, you can't you can't rely on good signings

664
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: and free agency to build your depth. It's just not

665
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna ever gonna work out. But you know, look and

666
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the listen to and the problem that the Giants are

667
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: in right now when we talk about all of this lance,

668
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: it goes back to and we can go all the

669
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: way back to two thousand and eleven and twelve and

670
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: then thirteen and fourteen, when you have missed so much

671
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: in drafts and then you have to go and spend

672
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: on free agency and you're constantly bringing in free agents

673
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: because you're turning over your roster because you've missed on

674
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: your draft picks. It just it doesn't work. I mean,

675
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: it does not work. There's no formula. And so now

676
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: you're just grabbing guys off the street because the guys

677
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that you're drafting are just you know, they're they're not

678
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: performing and they're they're washing through their rookie contracts and

679
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: they're moved out, and it's just you can't develop anything.

680
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: Plus you lose you lose the essence of what it

681
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: is to be grown within an organization and within a system,

682
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: and between the changes and coaches and general managers and

683
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: everything else, it's just like it's you know, there's no

684
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: longer a what's a giant player? I don't know what

685
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: a giant player is right now because there's been at

686
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: several different coaching staffs and everything else that if some

687
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: players have come in get drafted, different coach comes in,

688
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: that guy goes and until you until you flatline it

689
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: and then rebuild it that way. Um, you're gonna have

690
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: this grab bag of you know, I don't want to

691
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to say names that I'm signaling out people. Um,

692
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: but you just you can't just keep pulling guys off

693
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: the street everywhere and then expect them to perform. You

694
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: gotta have. You gotta have guys that you draft in

695
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: your system, understand your system, understand what you're doing offensively, defensive,

696
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, and you grow with them,

697
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: and hopefully you draft properly so that then you supplement

698
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: with free agents and not have to overhaul position groups

699
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: with free agents because you drafted poorly at those position groups.

700
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: Free agency should be the complementary method to what you

701
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: build through the draft, which should be your court. Well, like,

702
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I'll just look at Xavier McKinney. Look at his he

703
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: as a second round pick. You know, Will Hernandez on

704
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: the offensive line was supposed to be what Xavier McKinney

705
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: is on the defensive side of the ball, right, A

706
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: guy that was projected first round, taken early in the

707
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: second round. That is an anchor and as part of

708
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: your future, you watch Zavian McKinney. He never takes a

709
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: band angle to the ball. His eyes, his brain, his

710
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: football like you, leads him to all the right places.

711
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: He winds up having five interceptions this year, probably could

712
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: have had a couple more um and it's all done

713
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: with effortless motion. He's always in the right place at

714
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: the right time. And remember he missed a lot of

715
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: his rookie season. Those are the kind of players that

716
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: have to become New York Giant core players. And you

717
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: gotta be able to uh real quickly, you know, managing

718
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: your cap to be able to win those second round

719
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: draft picks are only four year deal to be able

720
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: to resign them and not let them go to another

721
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: team and become Pro Bowls and they have to warrant

722
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: you to want that. And that's the other problem. I mean,

723
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: let's to just you know, just look at facts. The

724
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: Giants have just finished the worst five year stretch that

725
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: they have ever had ever, five straight double digit law seasons.

726
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: You want to tell me that the Rams, you know,

727
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: are up against the cat, or you want to tell

728
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: me that the Bucks that brought back every started from

729
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl up against the cap. I get it.

730
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: But to be in this situation with ten plus losses

731
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: five straight years and not have good cap space moving forward,

732
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: that you just can't have that. You just you cannot

733
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: be in that position. That's where they are, and that's

734
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: just a whole they're gonna have to dig out. And

735
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: that's a product of when you don't get what you

736
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: need out of the draft, you have to make up

737
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: for it hit free agency. Now, speaking of the draft,

738
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Carter final year of his rookie contract we mentioned

739
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: four straight games with a sack. He also spoke with reporters, right,

740
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: you know what I think about this is possibly your

741
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: last game at the Giant. I mean, yeah, that's that's

742
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: a possibility, seeing as it's my last game under contract.

743
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: But I mean I really have just been thinking about

744
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: the chances I've had with my teammates, Uh, getting a

745
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: chance to go out there one last time with this

746
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: team my eyes and just compete and just fighting. What

747
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: has been a different for you these last four weeks?

748
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 1: And you think you've had a differ the best tratch

749
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: of your career at least if you look at the stats,

750
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: like what what do you think has been different for you?

751
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: It's just been I'm growing into my game, just growing

752
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: into it, being comfortable, being healthy, and just the coaches,

753
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: we all are working together coming up with a game

754
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: plan that works. Lear until that hasn't been a lot

755
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: of winning around here. Laterally, do you want to come back?

756
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Would you like to see what else is out there? Yeah? Man,

757
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: I love it here. I love it in New York.

758
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: I love this organization. I've been blessed to be a

759
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: part of a great organization like the Giants, And I

760
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: mean I love to come back. My coach, Judge, he

761
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: has something going, uh like what he's doing with it,

762
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: And I'll just let the rest of that shake yourself

763
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: out in these next couple of months. What was it

764
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: like out there today with the stadium being so empty? Ah? Yeah, man,

765
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't worry about that stuff too much. I wasn't

766
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: focused on the fans, the crowd. I'm not worried about

767
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: any of that. I was the whole time. I'm just

768
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: focused on taking advantage of the opportunity to the one

769
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: last opportunity I had with my brothers. So Joe had

770
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: said that a couple of weeks ago that pending free

771
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: agents like yourself, you didn't mention anyone have been coming

772
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: to his office saying how badly they want to come back.

773
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: Have you? Have you done that. I'm not gonna talk

774
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: about conversations behind closed doors, of course, but I mean

775
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: I've talked to coach Judge. We've had conversations, and not

776
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: just me personally, but the guys in this team and

777
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: guys in this building in the locker room. Um, we

778
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: got a pretty good core. We got a group of

779
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: guys that are competing no matter what, that are gonna

780
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: come to work every day and work hard. And I

781
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: appreciate all my brothers were doing that. Learned you just said, Um,

782
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: coach Judge has something going here. Um, obviously the team

783
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: is not winning what he's going that makes you say that, Yeah,

784
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: I've been a part of teams, Um that I haven't

785
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: fought as hard as we do. Haven't rctice as hard

786
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: as we do every day. Um, we practice hard, we

787
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: we fight for each other. Um, and Judge squeezes it

788
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: out of us every day. He doesn't. It's not acceptable

789
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: for us to come in and hang our heads. We

790
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: come in every day every week no matter what, we

791
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: work harder. And I appreciate that, Like that's that's what

792
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: it takes to win. And I know the results haven't

793
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: been there, but I think that we got the right

794
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. We got the right mindset

795
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: when you make a decision, what what's what's important is

796
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: free agencies and being comfortable being having money or winning

797
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: or what? Yeah, of course I want to win. Um,

798
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: winning is the thing that everybody comes into the league

799
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: want to do. I mean, of course it's money and

800
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: stuff evolved since it's a business aspect, But for guys

801
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: like me that just enjoyed the game and just had

802
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: that love for the game, that childhood love, it's about winning,

803
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's been tough, but it takes work, and

804
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: I know we're putting the work in. You just listed

805
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 1: a number of things that you think are are in

806
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: place to help this team succeed. What needs to change

807
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: obviously to get them there because you know the status

808
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: quo was was just gonna resulting more of the same. Yeah,

809
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure, I mean, I'm sure the guys upstairs that

810
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: make decisions above my pay grade are working worried about that,

811
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: working on that right now as we speak. Um, my

812
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: job is to focus on the defense, make sure we

813
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: do everything we can to put ourselves in the best

814
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: position to win. And I think we do that. We

815
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: fight hard every place, no matter what each possession. Were

816
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: coming out swinging. So you guys cut of twelve to

817
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: seven and then they came down and scored the touchdown.

818
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: What did you see that they did differently in that

819
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: drive versus what you were able to stop earlier on

820
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: twelve to seven. Um, I mean it's just a little adjustments,

821
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: different things. I can't really recall it exactly what happened,

822
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: but we gave up points. Anytime we give up points,

823
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: we're not doing everything right. So so that was Lorenzo

848
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: heard to Darius Slayden. He was picked off twice and

849
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,440

Speaker 1: reliable energy now and did the future on the ground today.

852
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: They ran the ball twenty five times for ninety four yards,

853
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: just under four yards per carry. Jake From was the

854
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: leading rusher, five scrambles for fifty three yards. Se Kwon

855
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: Barkley eleven for thirty this coming just a week after

856
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: he surpassed the century mark for the first time since

857
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: Week sixteen, two thousand in nineteen and the leading receiver

858
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,720
Speaker 1: was Darius Lating with two catches for twenty nine yards.

859
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph had the most receptions with four. On the

860
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, take Crowder led the way

861
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: with twelve tackles, four solo, one for loss and Lorenzo Carter,

862
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 1: who is going to be the player of the game.

863
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: Brought to you by the members and contractors of Local

864
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: eight twenty five Operating Engineers like building our future. Ten tackles,

865
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: six solo, a sack, a tackle for a loss of

866
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: past defense, and a quarterback hit. So the two thousand

867
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: eighteen third round pick who tore his achilles and missed

868
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: the bulk of last season and had to deal with

869
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, trying to make a strong finish here

870
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: in a strong case to perhaps earn a second contract,

871
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: will certainly get more into that because the Giants not

872
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: only have to make a decision on him, Will Hernandez,

873
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Jabrill Peppers, plenty of other individuals will put onto the microscope.

874
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: Will step aside when we come back. How about the

875
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: playoff amplications? A lot going on across the NFL. Who

876
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: going to the postseason, who perhaps suffered heartbreak at the

877
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: last second. We'll run you through that and more as

878
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: we move along. We'll be back right after this. You're

Speaker 1: with you here. Let's take you through the week eight

885
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 1: teen NFL scoreboard with plenty of playoff implications at state.

886
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: We'll start in the NFC. The Saints are leading the

887
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: Falcon seven to three. In the second quarter. New Orleans wins,

888
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco loses. The Saints claim a wild card spot.

889
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: The Rams right now are in front of the Niners

890
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: three to nothing. That score also in the second quarter.

891
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: The Rams still competing to secure the NFC West title.

892
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: They could do that with a W or if the

893
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: Cardinals wind up losing. The Cardinals and the Seahaw are

894
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: tied at seven that score in the first quarter. Over

895
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: on the a f C side, the Patriots of the

896
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: Bills still battling for that a f C East title.

897
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: Both teams they'll have already clinched playoff spots. The Bills

898
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: lead the Jets seven to nothing. For now, There is

899
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 1: a touchdown being reviewed by Josh Allantis that fon Diggs,

900
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see whether or not that is upheld. That

901
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: score is in the first quarter. The Bills get the

902
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: division with a win or a Patriots lost. In so

903
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: far New England cooperating from that standpoint, Miami is shutting

904
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 1: out New England fourteen nothing late in the first quarter.

905
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: Elsewhere it is the Panthers leading the Bucketeers seven zip,

906
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are keeping close tabs on that because

907
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers loss could perhaps move them up in terms

908
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: of seating for the top four in the NFC. Everything

909
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: else has gone final. The Bengals already wrapped up the

910
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: a f C North. They lost to the Brown six team.

911
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow was a spectator in that one. Aaron Rodgers

912
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: played for a little bit. He threw for a pair

913
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. A Packers fell to the Alliance thirty seven

914
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: to thirty. Green Bay already wrapped up the number one

915
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. Good news to the Giants, at

916
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: least when it comes to traff selections. That's because the

917
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 1: Bears felt of the Vikings seventeen. The Giants, of course

918
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: get Chicago's first round pick as part of the adjusted

919
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: fields train. A shocker in Jacksonville, the Colts fell to

920
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars twenty six to eleven, so with Indianapolis losing

921
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: and they won, they would have been in the playoffs.

922
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: That opened the door for the Steelers. The Steelers, by

923
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: the Chinny chin Chin outlasted the Ravens in overtime sixteen

924
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Well wait, things are getting still very interesting.

925
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: The Steelers would be in the playoffs, assuming that tonight's

926
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: game between the Raiders and the Chargers does not end

927
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 1: in a tie. If you needed a little bit more

928
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: drama surrounding Sunday night football, and the Titans topped the

929
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: Texans Tennessee wraps up the number one seed in the

930
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: a f C. Yes, that is a mouthful, and that's

931
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: why it was sponsored. It's the NFL and action. It

932
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: was brought to you by Biggelot, grab a mug and

933
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: t provly as we welcome you back to Versedes, Bands, Giants,

934
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: Extra Point, Lands, Mead O, Bob, Papa Jeff Eagles with you,

935
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: Giants and the season on a six game losing street

936
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty two to seven. The final in favor of Washington.

937
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: First times, it's two thousand eleven that the Washington football

938
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: team has pulled off a sweep of the Giants. And

939
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: speaking of the dynamics of the division. The Cowboys went

940
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,479
Speaker 1: six and oh. That was the first time since the

941
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: Eagles went six and oh in two thousand fourteen. So

942
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: it has been quite some time. It's been a roller

943
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: coaster ride in this division in general. Another new another

944
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: new division winner for how many years in a row

945
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: now Lands, Well, it's been going on since the Eagles

946
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: won four in a row in the early two thousands,

947
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: so that goes back to oh four. Yeah, how you

948
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: want to hear another weird statistic. Let's pile them moms.

949
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a it's not a it's not

950
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: a great statistic goal thing. But so it doesn't match

951
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: what Jeff and I throughout is now. Barkley had thirty

952
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: yards rushing today on eleven carries. Booker had eight carries

953
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: for fourteen yards. They both finished with five ninety three

954
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: yards rushing. On point, they share the team lead. You

955
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: can't say that one out did the other, right, So

956
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: Booker average four point one, Barkley average three points. So

957
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: combined they had a thousand yards in rushing between the

958
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: two guys. Think so in a twelve game schedule, that

959
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: would have been something that was really good good And

960
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: didn't it sound a little bit weird today, Bob, when

961
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 1: you're talking about week eighteen, when you're mentioning we ga teen,

962
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 1: we gaate teen to me, always meant that we g

963
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: e teen is I'm actually in the playoffs. Uh. And

964
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit strange, but it's the world

965
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: we live in today. And obviously, nice job Lance rattling

966
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: off those scores and playoff implications. I don't know how

967
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: you keep you know, you've got a good study. I guess.

968
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 1: I guess that's what happens when you cover the NFL

969
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: from a big picture perspective, But certainly a lot going on.

970
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: To bring it back though to the Giants before we

971
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: bid goodbye to the network for the final time, some

972
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: big decisions with the Giants that goes without saying, but

973
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: I want to focus on some of the personnel decisions

974
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to make because Lorenzo Carter is

975
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: one player, Will Hernandez, who Bob referenced earlier, Jabrill Peppers.

976
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: What's in common with all of these players? Jeff is

977
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: all expiring rookie contracts now Peppers was addrafted by the Giants,

978
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: but his option was picked up after he was acquired

979
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: from Cleveland so he has an expiring contract and the

980
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: Giants have to determine. You know, it goes back to

981
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: the idea of you want to be able to build

982
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: the team with players that are relatively young. But will

983
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: Hernandez struggled this year, Carter's battling injuries. Is there enough

984
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: substance there to say, hey, we want to bring these

985
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: guys back, we want to give them another look. I honestly,

986
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the cap situation for

987
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: the Giants in two thousand twenty two, and you can't

988
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: bring a lot of these guys back just because of

989
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: the economics of it. And I feel like that, you know,

990
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: the majority of attention that needs to be paid here

991
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: is to that offense, and I think the offensive line

992
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: in particular. You know, can the Giants make one splash

993
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: and in free agency and free up some money to

994
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: be able to go and get one other offensive lineman

995
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: that's a veteran and then maybe use one or two

996
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 1: of those on the draft. But you know, there's not

997
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money to go around, and we all

998
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: know Lance that you can. You can, you can find

999
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: money somehow in some way, But in the long run,

1000
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 1: it comes back to bite you some somehow in some

1001
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 1: way too. So I think that the answer to that

1002
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: is difficult. And I know that Lorenzo Carter has went

1003
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: out there and you gotta you gotta take your hat

1004
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: off to him because coming off of a of an

1005
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: injury and then you could tell in his voice and

1006
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: he said this before Lance in his press conferences, he's

1007
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: been asked this question is that you know, how are

1008
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: you playing so well? And it's basically, I'm healthy. And

1009
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: that goes for a lot of different a lot of

1010
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: players if they're healthy, and also the system and being

1011
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: comfortable with the game. And he said it before that

1012
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: I just feel a little bit more comfortable out there. So, uh,

1013
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: he went out there, put put put what he did

1014
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: on tape, and now he's gonna have a chance as

1015
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: a free agent that a lot of players like to

1016
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: get to um and playing well and going into free agency.

1017
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Now. I don't I don't think

1018
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: he's you know, listen, I could be wrong, but I

1019
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: think based on his injury history and his limited production,

1020
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: he might be one of those guys that you're gonna

1021
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: be able to get back on a relatively favorable deal

1022
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: and you only have so many draft picks, you know,

1023
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: I would if I can get a team friendly deal

1024
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: with a guy like Awayenzo Carter, I would definitely bring

1025
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: him back. It would be like a market's golden kind

1026
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: of situation if you can get him on something. You know,

1027
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: if there's not a big market for him, I would

1028
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: try to bring him back and see what's there. He

1029
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,799
Speaker 1: could be part of a solution. I'm not sure about

1030
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: the offense, so I think it's time to move on.

1031
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: And that is gonna be an area that they're certainly

1032
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to address. Hey, they'll have two high first

1033
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: round picks their own and Chicago's free agency. You gotta

1034
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: be realistic, Jeff, as you pointed out, but there's gonna

1035
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: be resources there in the draft to address an offensive

1036
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: line that, outside of Andrew tom Is certainly leaves a

1037
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. And two, by the way, I

1038
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: mean you have two offensive you have two first round

1039
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: draft picks, which doesn't mean you have to use them

1040
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: in the position, and you're out. You could trade back

1041
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: to get a guy that you want to pick up

1042
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: some other capital. So it's just that that's a long

1043
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 1: ways aware, but it's certainly something we could talk about

1044
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: now before we bid goodbye to the network. We have

1045
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: a number of people that we want to thank who

1046
