1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: All right, how you doing? Everyone? Welcome once again to 2 00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Big Blue Kickoff live here on Giants dot Com. I 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: am Ross Salzburg and I'm being reunited today with my 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: buddy poly Dots. Do you pulled the Tino poly Dots? Whatever? 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: We are back together again, my friend Peaches and Peaches 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: in her well, let's let's hope it's not Peaches in 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: her comes Sunday in Houston and it's Big Blue Giants. 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: But uh, listen, you and I just came out of 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: the locker room and unfortunately, no surprise, oh v um, 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: we'll not be playing. And I got a feeling, you know, 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: and listen, you and I at the beginning thought it 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: was just Initially they diagnosed it as a bone bruise, 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: but it turned out to be a high ankle sprain. 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: This will be the third week, and usually high ankle 15 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: sprains are about a month, so I'd be surprised if 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: we see him next week as well. Also, Eli apple 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: out with the groin and groins are usually again this 18 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: is no inside information, we just know it's a groin. 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: Groins are usually a couple of weeks. Also, so Eli 20 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: is out this week, I'd be surprised that we see 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: him next week as well, but that's just my guests 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: to min well. To give people a little bit of 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: a better indication. We can talk about how the rehab 24 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: is going. Eli apples on the bike. That's a good sign, 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: because if he was really bad, he wouldn't even have 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: him on the bike. The groin would be too painful. 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: He could not do the bike. That indicates it's more 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: of a mild injury. To me. Vernon is no longer 29 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: walking around in the boot that he had when he 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: first incurred the injury. That's a good sign. Doesn't seem 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: to be walking with much of a lip now. He's 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: not necessarily sprinting around like Jesse Owens either, but he 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: is getting around and he is working out on the 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: side with the trainers, doing all kinds of leg and 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: foot exercises. He's doing the quick step on the ground ladder, 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. So that's all good. 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: And Vernon himsel self told us as we were just 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: chatting with him that the kinds of stuff they're doing 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: for his rehab, While he wouldn't discuss it necessarily, he said, 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: it's all working. It seems to be working. So there's 41 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: been no setback. No, it was kind of humorous, folks. 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: Paulie and I went over to him, and somebody else 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: was a third party with us. We're standing and talking 44 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: and asking a few questions, and you know, people come around. 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: But it really was humorous because how many times can 46 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: he be asked? How frustrating is it? You know? PAULI 47 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: asked them first how I said, yeah, you know, I 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: want to play this and that? But then how many 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: times can you ask the same question? And and you know, 50 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: it wasn't like somebody came and then somebody asked, came 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: again and they were all standing out. How many times 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: can you ask the same question? And he's looking and 53 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: his answer us as coaching Sherman, how frustrating is it? 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: Asked coach Herman? Um uh, do you get fined if 55 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: you talk about injuries? Asked culch Sherman. As soon as 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: what he says, oh is there a fine? Now you're 57 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: getting it. You know, listen, it's a frustrating time for 58 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: all parties, concerned teams owing to you want to get 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: on the windside by any means necessary. You got a 60 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: star player like Ovie, Nobody wants to be sitting on 61 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: the sidelines. You want to play, I mean everybody wants that, 62 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, money aside. Yeah, and I remember Parcels used 63 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: to say to us. You probably remember those days. He 64 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: used to say, Tayler and Sims, they would compete. They 65 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: played for free in a parking lot. And some might say, 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: well we'll hold on. They would hold up. Yes, you know, 67 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: it's a big money business. But he was always talking 68 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: about when the athleticism in the individual takes over, it 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: becomes competition, and l T and Sims and a whole 70 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: lot of other guys when it comes to just competing, 71 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: they would indeed compete in a parking lot. And by 72 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: the way, the LT special on NFL Network is tonight 73 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. Oh is that right? Football Life?

Uh would would get you popcorn ready 76 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: for sure. We might even be making cameos in that. 77 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: You never know, I mean, NFL Films was around a 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: lot of years when we were there. You never can tell. 79 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: And well, you know, if it's a few f bombs 80 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: in there, we might well be in there. Listen to 81 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: reminder folks that the Big Blue kickoff Live is presented 82 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: to you by Coors Light. Download the cores Light Rewards 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: app to win yourself amazing Giants prizes throughout this two 84 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen season and again the number for you 85 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: to call here at the Big Blue Kickoff Live is 86 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: two oh one nine three nine four five one three. 87 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I do want to add one thing, russ Uh. For 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: those of you who don't know Olivia Burning. Now, we've 89 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: known him for a couple of years. This is his 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: third year with the Giants. He is one of those 91 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: guys who would line up in a park without questions 92 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: play with the nerf ball if you asked him to, 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: without questions. So I want to make that very clear. 94 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: He's being held back because the medical people at the 95 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: Giants have to turn m that he's not ready to 96 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: play at his proper effectiveness. And if he went out there, 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: not only would he not be well, he probably would 98 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: hurt himself worse. Well. I think that's the key thing. 99 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: And you know just what you were saying about Eli 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Apple as well. Yeah, it's a good sign he's on 101 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: a bike. But at the same point, you gotta remember 102 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: what they don't need is a potential one or two 103 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: or three or turning into six weeks. You don't need 104 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: ov a month turning into two months. I mean, these 105 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: guys are too valuable. So uh, that being said, we 106 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: have to move forward and again to oh one nine 107 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: nine four five one three is the number. And PAULI 108 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: what he said. We open up the phone lines check 109 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: in in New York with Mark Anthony, Mark Anthony, how 110 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: you doing there? How you're doing over there? Everything? Georgia. Yeah, 111 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: it is Mark Anthony likes to clear pactive things, so 112 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: I thought it was. You See, everybody says it differently. 113 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: You say it's Mark Anthony, the Cleopatrick thing. Somebody could 114 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: say it's Muck Anthony, like the j Low thing. Whatever 115 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: that was with the lady I know you're talking about. 116 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: Can we all agree we don't want to see the 117 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: giants be snake bitten in Houston? That went over everybody's hand. 118 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. A couple of questions that only you guys 119 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: could really answer. It's kind of glad that I caught you, 120 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: especially you Russ, because you're an old timer and I 121 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: liked the little wisdom how you put your little spin 122 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: on what was easy with Heyney, easy with the old 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: time of business, man, I'm an old timer. Two man, 124 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: I without the old timings, where will we be? You 125 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: gotta brother, what's up? Okay? I was wondering if I mean, 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: like you know, jump in whenever you're ready. This is 127 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: about the wide receiver in typing situation. I thought we 128 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: had a little chipping dip where you know, like the 129 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: Titan with chipping and dip out for a past. That's 130 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: what I call chipping dip. Okay. I was wondering if 131 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: it would be better to put the chip in dip 132 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: on red Ellison being in that um Uh Evans is 133 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: such a good receiver, what do you know, like still 134 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: come out in a two tight end set, but squit 135 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: him out because they'd probably be a linebacker on him 136 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: with that, and it would still help because you're still 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: chipping and helping the old line block for elive. You 138 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: think that would be effective the health I'm all about progress. 139 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't have any arguments. Of course, you know we're 140 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: still doing our little evaluation on the team and hall. 141 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: But that was my first question right there, So I'll 142 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: let you gut that that one right now. Well, I 143 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: think the first thing you have to get get straight 144 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: is the the assignments and pass protection. Now you can 145 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: still run double tight ends if you like. Well, for 146 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: that matter, if you're trying to get more protection for ELI, 147 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: you could ask your fullback to do it now. Shane Smith, 148 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: who was waived the other day, was replaced by Perry, 149 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: a guy they signed off the Cardinals practice squad. Perry 150 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: is a fullback who is known for his past protection 151 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: in years past. My suspicion is he probably won't know 152 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: enough of the playbook to play this week. He's only 153 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 1: been your few days. But I think in the long 154 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: term what you might want to do is see if 155 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: he can't be a guy who can help out ELI 156 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: in the backfield, kind of sit back there and and 157 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: whoever leaks through he can get a block in. That 158 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: would be to me the better situation, because then you 159 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: could send all your receivers, including Allison or Ingram, and 160 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: let them run their pass routes and let the full 161 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: back maybe try to pick up some of the extra protection. 162 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: But you gotta be confident that he can handle the job. 163 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Smith had trouble doing it right. Well, Look, I mean 164 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: you just used a phrase leak through. At this juncture, 165 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I will take a leak through as a as opposed 166 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's sarcastically, but there's some 167 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: truth behind it. I'll take a leak through as opposed 168 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: to a flood, because that's what we got last week. 169 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I don't want it. I don't 170 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: want it to have to get down through the last 171 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: man standing between UH Eli Manning and whatever being UH 172 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: the fullback. So that in case, but that I just 173 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: trying to trust. It was a good I saw the 174 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: offense look a little better. I had more time when 175 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: um Evan was chipping, but I felt like his blocking. 176 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to I don't want to pass judgment 177 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: on the man, but his blocking against UH physical linebackers 178 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: isn't enough to snump. He's more of a threat in 179 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: the passing game stock I remember. I mean, I'm a 180 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: big fan of the of the show, and I think 181 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: it was I think it was p dot who are 182 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 1: illustrated that the two tight end sets was merely brought 183 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: in the slow down the past and attack. I e. 184 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: Larrence Chayler, and I was just wondering, well with one 185 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: with one blocking tight end and with one receiving tight 186 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: end could be negotiate to one uteal at the same time, 187 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and if you felt like putting him out, I was 188 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: going to be attack. That's what I was saying. I 189 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: was trying to better the offense was woman was what 190 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: we got because if obviously we have to go, I 191 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: could always look through the next season. And but that's 192 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: not where I'm at right now. I'm I'm here and now, 193 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, let's attack what we got Eli out there, 194 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: and we got our weapons out there. I'm thinking if 195 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: we could, you know, even another half a second would 196 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: be great to one sometime of routch downfield, not not 197 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: a hundred check offs, you know, things of that nature. 198 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: That's why I would rather have heaven. There's only one 199 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: danger in what you're saying. Thanks for the call. MARKET 200 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: appreciate it, Marke, and I like the fact that he's 201 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: looking for solutions and he's not just thrown in the 202 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: towel or complaining. He's actually trying to find something that 203 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: will help. UH. The one issue though with what I 204 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: what I heard is that you say you're saying you 205 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: just want Ingram to chip and go out all the 206 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: time and have Ellison staying in block. Well, that makes 207 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: you too predictable. You can't do that the same way 208 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: all the time. If you're simply gonna make one guy 209 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: the receiver and one guy the blocker, defensive coordinators gonna 210 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: figure out and they're gonna know what you're doing, and 211 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: and so you have to be able to mix it up. 212 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: They are gonna have to be times when Ellison's got 213 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 1: to go out. There have to be times when Ingram 214 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: stays in and blocks, you know what I mean. But 215 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: you know what, Paulie, I heard you talking on the 216 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: radio this week. Uh, you were talking about assignments, and 217 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Again, I'm not in the huddle, um, 218 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: not in the meeting rooms. I don't know if they 219 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: would miss the signmons. But I do know that there 220 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: was major problems in the last game. And you know, 221 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: this is not looking through things with you know, rose 222 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: colored glasses. I just think they have to be better 223 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: than that. Um, I think they have to be smarter 224 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: than that. Maybe it is Listen, this is a team 225 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: that was three and thirteen last year. It was you know, 226 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: maybe it was people would be in naive about it. 227 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: It was not gonna be fixed with pixie dust right 228 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: out of the gate. They weren't going from three and 229 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: thirteen to thirteen and three. Okay, I just last week 230 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: shocked me. Okay, I'm the first one to admit that 231 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: the opener wasn't to me horrific because the opening you 232 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: played against a powerhouse, very good football team in particular 233 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: on defense, and then Giants did well and they were 234 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: right there to win the game last week was ugly. 235 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: But I just think that they're better than that, and 236 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: I think their assignments will be better than that, and 237 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: the align themselves better and and I expect a much 238 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: better game from the offensive. From from the offense in particular. Somebody, well, 239 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: you know, I was typing my show, my pregame show 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: that we do for Fox five with with Tina yesterday 241 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: and we were talking about, you know, containing the Shaun 242 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: Watson and my answer to that was problem is not 243 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: the Giants defense. The defense hasn't been the problem. The 244 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: problem is scoring points. I just think that there's too 245 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: much talent there, I mean across the board. Just it 246 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. Well, Odell Beckham was saying 247 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: that very same thing yesterday that with the kind of 248 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: guy as they have in that huddle, they should be 249 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: able to score thirty points. They haven't done it in 250 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: a few years now. But here's the thing for us, 251 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: I will say this, Okay, defensively, there's no question they 252 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: have been soft on the edges, and that's where they 253 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: really miss Olivia Vernon. It's not necessarily the pass rush. 254 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: He is very good against the run and setting that edge. 255 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: He either stretches guys out to the sideline where they 256 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: go out of bounds, or they don't even try turning 257 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: that corner because they know O V is gonna be 258 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: standing there. Vernon's absence, I believe is actually hurt their 259 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: rush defense off the edges more than it's hurt their 260 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: pass rush, which has been very sporadic. Let's not kid ourselves, 261 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: but but that's where DeShawn Watson, if he would have 262 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: rolled left and see Olivia Vernon standing there, you know 263 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: he's not tucking the ball away. He doesn't want any 264 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: part of Olivier Vernon. So without Vernon there, yeah, that 265 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: does cause a little bit of a soft spot in 266 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: the defense, and we have seen both Jacksonville and Dallas 267 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: exploit that at times. Well, he's not gonna be there, 268 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to figure out another way. They've 269 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: got to do it. Carter and Barwin and these guys 270 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: got to make sure that their hip to those quarterbacks 271 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: who are gonna run those bootlegs. I think the other 272 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: point I want to make Tia Rusto about about this 273 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: this offense. I agree with you wholeheartedly. They were in 274 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: that game all the way against Jacksonville, could have won 275 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: it and maybe should have won it. They were not 276 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: really in the game and down. No, No, that that 277 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: that is that's what hurts a significant difference. You know, 278 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: they haven't had the lead once. Well, yeah, in the 279 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: first two games. That's not a formula for winning football. No, 280 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna win games if you're never in front. 281 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, granted it only counts to be in front 282 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: at the end, but you can't play catch up. Listen, 283 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: they have to be better. They know that now. You know, 284 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: we can talk to a blue interface about o V 285 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: not playing and Eli Apple not playing. As you know, 286 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: COACHRM or any other coach as for that matter. If 287 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: you're on the roster, you're on the roster for a reason. 288 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: You know, culture Armer says, whether you're a number one 289 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: draft pick or a walk on free agent, whatever the 290 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: hell it is. Once you're in that fifty three, you're 291 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: a giant and you're expected to help your team. So 292 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: it's next man standing, go help and get the job done. 293 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: That's that's all they can do. The two one nine, three, 294 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: nine four five one three is the number. Let's go 295 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: to Connecticut check in with Marco. Hello Marco, Hello Ross, 296 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: Hello Fall How are you today? How are you doing? 297 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm doing well. I'm good to be with you guys. 298 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: Um So, a couple of just a couple of thoughts 299 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: about Eli Manning and then um I had a question 300 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: about Landon Collins. Um So, last night, I I, you know, 301 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: there's been so much talk about Eli in this last 302 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: week or two weeks about this play, and I'm I'm 303 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm a big Eli fan and such a big supporter. 304 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: That kills me about the play. It killed me watching 305 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: him get knocked down constantly last week in Dallas. Um 306 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: and so I put on last night, I put on 307 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: some of the highlights from when day we played the 308 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: forty miners in the championship game in two thou elevens 309 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: and you you forget so long ago. And that's another 310 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: another another how fast time is going by with a 311 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: great quarterback that it's it just kills you right to 312 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: the core. Uh, to have these seasons that we've been 313 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: having when you have such a quarterback like Eli at 314 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: the help but watching that game and you see him 315 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: just getting knocked down and I'm talking hanging and hanging 316 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: in that pocket knowing that three guys were coming and 317 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: just gonna absolutely crush him and making great place. Um. 318 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: And you know, a couple of things hit me, and 319 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: one is I don't think, First of all, I don't 320 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: want to see Eli have to do that. I don't 321 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: think he should be doing that now at his age. Um. 322 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: But another thing hit me too is they the Giants 323 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: were a different type of team where they looked like 324 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: they knew how to win, and they knew how too. 325 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: If they could, they could dominate a team. Well, but Mark, 326 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: let me just stop you there for a second. You're 327 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about a team then that that had already 328 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: won one Super Bowl together. Okay, you're talking about this 329 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: team now that was three and thirteen last season. You 330 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: talking night and day, not even that ross. They've they've 331 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: got over faces. It's a completely different situation. The meshing 332 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: and the jelling has not really happened to that degree. 333 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: Yet it's not it's not fair to compare. No, no, no, 334 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: I'm not comparing. I'm not comparing. I just look at 335 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: this team and we're talking game by game. I don't 336 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: care how hard the schedule is, and we're trying to 337 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: find where this team is gonna win. And honestly, it's 338 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: been and and to take a full circle, since the 339 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, it's been so long that we've seen the 340 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: team dominate. I don't remember what it's like to see 341 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham go out crush another team's corner, score a touchdown, 342 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: watch ELI celebrate a win, know how to win. And 343 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. I don't I gotta see it 344 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: to believe it. And I right now I don't believe it. 345 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: I don't know where they're gonna get it from. Um 346 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: and that that's just my that's just me as a 347 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: fan saying it. But I I don't know that. But no, 348 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: he's he's got a point. It's fair for you to 349 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: say that because they haven't shown it and haven't proven 350 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: it yet. And quite honestly, even Beckham said himself, we 351 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: need to get a spark early so that our confidence 352 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: can grow and we can do what we're supposed to do. 353 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, until the proof is in the pudding. 354 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: Why should you believe that these guys are gonna win? 355 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: But we're gonna win on But you just gotta remember, Marcaret, 356 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: you're coming off three and thirteen. I you know again, 357 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: it was three and thirteen. You brought in a new coach, 358 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: you brought in a new GM. You brought it in 359 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: for a reason. So I'm not gonna judge the thing that, 360 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: for lack of a better turn, has pissed me off 361 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: this week as a fan, anybody's got reason to be, Oh, 362 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,959 Speaker 1: this is no good. I get that. But this business, 363 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: this of two weeks. You know I'm reading and here 364 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: in this week as if Eli is a bum uh, 365 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: as if Eli's watched washed up, I gotta hear the 366 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: comparisons about the Giants screwed up with the draft, picking 367 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: this and that over watch over one two losses. We're 368 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna all of a sudden, people were so 369 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: people who were so far up uh Shermer and and 370 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: Gettleman's butt. You all you could see would be the 371 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: bottom of their souls on his shoes. Then after last 372 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: week they lose a game and oh my god, it's 373 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: the end of the world. Listen. I wasn't happy with it. 374 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: You could have knocked me over with a feather with 375 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: that performance. I was dumbfounded. I was sitting home. You know. 376 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned it just before Paul that that old Dell said. Yeah. 377 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason why his team can't scort 378 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: dirty points. I had the Jets winner last week, thirty 379 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: to sixth thing that was, that was my number. But 380 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 1: it didn't happen. They look lousy, so they gotta correct it. 381 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: And you're right, I agree with you, Marco. But until 382 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: it's corrected, it is what it is. But it was 383 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: three and thirteen last season. It's a new regime, so 384 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: we got to see what happens. Marco. I leave you 385 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: with this thought. Okay, thanks, and and to be patient 386 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: about this whole thing. And I'm not revisiting it. I'm 387 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: not second guessing. I'm not revising it. I told you 388 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: guys during the course of training camp the Giants need 389 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: to go to and two in their first four games. 390 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: Treadwater be five hundred after the first month of the season, 391 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: and then hopefully by then they'll find their sea legs, 392 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: they'll mesh, they'll gel, and they'll have twelve games to 393 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: try to figure out what their season is going to be. Well, 394 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: they're going two right now, but they've got two games 395 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: left before the first quarters report card is in. So 396 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: can we wait for those other two games to be played? 397 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: Because you know what, you and I don't know it, 398 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: but maybe two weeks from now we'll be sitting here 399 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: doing the show and the Giants will be two and two. Well, 400 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: and how will you feel that? Well, people were asking 401 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: us earlier in the week we were talking about it. 402 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: You know what do you want? I was on with 403 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: Jeff Fiagels, and you know, you divide the season, as 404 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: almost every culch will tell you into quarters four four, 405 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: four and four. Somebody wanted to say, well, Russ, when, 406 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: when when is it? When do you start judging this thing? Okay, Well, 407 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: in fairness, you can look, you know, after four look 408 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: after four games and Sherman and get them when we'll 409 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: look after four games and see where they're at. But 410 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: you know, after two games to say this is it, 411 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Let's have a mutiny and jump ship and you know, 412 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: you know, tear down the masks and everything. Come on 413 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: by the way the Seahawks are into and they've got 414 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: the most mobile quarterback in the league. It didn't do 415 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: him much good his mobility. Yeah, who's been sacked six 416 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: times in each of the first two games. It didn't 417 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: do him much exactility, you know. So that's that whole argument. 418 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: It's the stuff that's been said about Eli Manning and 419 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: and the mistakes the Giants. I mean it with some 420 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing, you know, quite frankly, it's embarrassing. Let's go 421 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: down to South Carolina. No, let's stay in New Jersey 422 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: and let's speak with Mike. Mike. How you doing today, 423 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: Buddy Good? Hi, Mike. I had a question and then 424 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: I have two comments. I'll start with the question, um, 425 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: what can the Giants deepense due to um slow down 426 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: the receivers of Houston? Considering that Eli Apple is likely 427 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: going to be out. I'll take this one, Russe, if 428 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: you don't mind, because I did watch the game last 429 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: week between the Texans and the Titans, and what Tennessee did. 430 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: They beat the stuffing out of DeAndre Hopkins. They mugged 431 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: him every chance they could get coming off of a 432 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and did not give him much room 433 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: to release at all. Um he did catch a couple 434 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: of passes, including a touchdown against the zone, but when 435 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: they manned up on him, they just beat him up, 436 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: and I really think that's the way to do it. Now. 437 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: The bad news is they've got well, they've got Fuller, 438 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: who is incredibly quick. He's a burner, and Fuller burn 439 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: the Titans worse than DeAndre Hopkins last week. And he's 440 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: got speed, he can get deep, and quite frankly, that's 441 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: the problem. Let's say you put Jenkins on Hopkins and 442 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: shadow him. That means b W Webb or don't they 443 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: Dion are gonna have to deal with Fuller. That's not 444 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: an easy task because of his flat out breakaway speed. 445 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: So that that to me is the X factor here, 446 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 1: not how Jenkins does on Hopkins, but how does the 447 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: other Giants corner whoever it turns out to be going 448 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: against Fuller, whether Fuller is going to be outside or 449 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: in the slot, or if Dion's in the slot, or 450 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: if web And is in the slot or vice versa, 451 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: that that, to me is the X factor in the game. 452 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: What else you got, Mike? I just had a comment 453 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: on the offense and one coming on offense, coming on defense. 454 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: For the offense, I think one of the keys to 455 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: the game is obviously whoever's blocking needs to state of 456 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: their assignment and execute it. And also just get off 457 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: to a quick start, go for a big play. UM, 458 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: try some bubble screens to make the pass rush not 459 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: quite as bad and our defense. UM. I understand this 460 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: could be a little harder because Apple is out and 461 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: Burning is out, but they need to come up with 462 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: something to get up more of a pass rush than 463 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: they have in the in the first two games. And also, um, 464 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: they need to figure out um my train of thought. 465 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: Sorry that well, well, okay, they'll figure it out. When 466 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: they figure it out. Good good news, good news for you. 467 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: You want more passwash. The Texans offensive line is rather shaky. 468 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: They they do have problems protecting the quarterback and that's 469 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: why Deshaun Watson runs so much. He's had fourteen rushes 470 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: from a lot of scrimmage so far this year, but 471 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: he's also scrambled a lot more times than that. Um. 472 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: He he was under the arrest a lot last week 473 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: against Tennessee. So the problem though, is that he has 474 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: a gun of an arm what a cannon Russ and 475 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: he can unload that ball sixty five yards with a 476 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: lot of mustard on it, even while he's on the move. 477 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: The thing about him is that he's apt to throwing 478 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: it into dangerous spots. He will give up an interception. 479 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: He's not afraid to do that. That's where the Giants 480 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: need to take advantage of him when he when he's 481 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: a little bit awry, when he's throwing on the run, 482 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: when he's taking a chance down field, you gotta make 483 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: him pay for it and intercept the ball. Well, I 484 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: mean that goes in line with the line of thinking. 485 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: You know, turnovers. Giants need to make turnovers period. You know, 486 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: gotta make it happen. Uh, let's go down to South 487 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: Carolina and UH check in with a j J. Are 488 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: you thanks for taking my cow? All right? I know 489 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: the Giants I have client. I'll see Stacy. Oh, Kobe, Um, 490 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: I'll play this week. I'd say there's a good chance 491 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: of it. Um. Coach Sherman had him in Minnesota. He's 492 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: a backup receiver and a kick returner, and coach said 493 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 1: he liked liked what he saw in Minnesota and was 494 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: glad to pick him up this week. H So you 495 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: know we will see. I think there's certainly an opportunity 496 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: and a chance that he may go. But but that's 497 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a coach's decision, probably as the game approaches 498 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: and they, you know, decide who the inactives are. I 499 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: haven't gotten any insight information on that and certainly haven't 500 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: seen enoughing. But you know, you don't need to know 501 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: the whole playbook to return kicks because I know I'll 502 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: playing was answer? Is that that? Again? Well, i'll play 503 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: you answer. The thing that troubles me about Clay, thank you. 504 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: The thing that troubles me about Clay russ Um in 505 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: his NFL career, he's only been around a few years 506 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: and been limited in his playing time. He's got four 507 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: fumbles and seventy one touches. To me, that's not a 508 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: good stat no matter how you slice it. And I 509 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: know that there were a lot of folks who didn't 510 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: like the way he actually kneeled and went on his 511 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: knees to feel those punts against Jacksonville. That's not a 512 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: good look either. But but the four fumbles and seventy 513 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: one touches is a problem that that's not a good 514 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: piece of math. Well, I'm not gonna dispute that. Obviously 515 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: there was something that the palace to be like when 516 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: they said when I say liked, uh made him worthy 517 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: of taking a chance. So well he does that breakaway speed. 518 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: I can't deny that you can't teach speed. No, you can't. 519 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: You know, anybody, any and everybody who's ever coached in 520 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: any spoil will tell you speed you can't teach. You 521 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: can teach a lot of things. You get teach technique, 522 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: can't teach slat out speed. And by the way, before 523 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: we get to the next call, we talked about takeaways 524 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: and turnovers. Giants had chances of two picks in Dallas. 525 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: Balwin had a ball go right in his chest and 526 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: Dante Dion in the end zone had coverage on a 527 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: fade route Baldwin right in his hands. He broke it up, 528 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: but he could have made that page to have two 529 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: chances it picks. Act. I spoke to Borrowing about that yesterday. 530 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: You know, he's an old basketball player. He played two 531 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: years at University of Cincinnati, which is pretty good basketball school. 532 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 1: And I asked him if if some of those basketball 533 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: skills because he went high. He almost he went up 534 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: too high. I gotta catch it, man, get the rebound. 535 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 1: He knew it. He knew it as well. Let's go 536 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: up to Syracuse and check in with Mike. Hello, Mike, 537 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 1: how are you today? You're wrong with Russ and Polly Dutts. Hey, 538 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: how are you guys? Doing? You guys every day? What's 539 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: going on? Um? So, my question is for you guys, 540 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: Uh Spencer Polly, Um, I don't know much about him 541 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: when I just you know, through Google and stuff. Pro 542 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: Football Focus gave him a ninety four rating, you guys, 543 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus whatever, that's what the general public uses 544 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: to get an idea of how the player is. So 545 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: to me, that sounds pretty darn good. I mean, they 546 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: hadn't read it right there with Jason Kelsey and uh So, 547 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: My thought, probs is, why isn't he started for I 548 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: guess maybe he's well, I don't know that that is 549 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: not in the thinking. Uh, you know, as certainly a 550 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: distinct possibility. I think you're a hundred percent right, Mike. 551 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reasons they got him. 552 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: But I think they will want to see how, you know, 553 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: a veteran guy like John Greco will do, and they'll 554 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: make that assessment but I think that is definitely in 555 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: their minds a possible option. What I was kind of 556 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: thinking is, though, is the mommy has seemed to be struggling, 557 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: Like even in the preseason, he just didn't look good 558 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: at a lot of times. Now it's soon to be 559 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: given up on anybody, But I feel like you can 560 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: put a little bit of fire. I mean, maybe a 561 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: cracles going out and play as well this week? Why 562 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: not move him over the right guards? Well, well, I 563 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: just feel like I know it's not time to panic, 564 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: but at the same time, as a fan, like man, 565 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 1: I feel so bad and he's like out there for 566 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: his life. Well yeah, but let me just say, listen, 567 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: they just got rid of. When I say got rid of, 568 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: they just lost one center seeing what they have I 569 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: mean to me, I mean from your standpoint, Mike, if 570 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 1: if I'm the fan, I want to say, I just 571 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: want to make sure the center is kind of important, 572 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: So I want to I want to solidify that position 573 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: you're already worrying about. Okay, if it works good, let's 574 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: move it over. And no, I mean if Greco is solid, 575 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, on on Sunday, well that's a plus, and 576 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: then we'll worry about, you know, fixing the other stuff 577 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: after that. But listen, I hope, I hope. It's a 578 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: nice problem to have. You know, let's let's solidify that 579 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: center position which is not solidified just yet, my Mike. 580 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: A couple of things real quick. And I appreciate the 581 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: fact that, again you're looking for solutions. I love that 582 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: instead of just somebody who wants to come on and 583 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: belly ache. First of all, Polly just got here prior 584 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: to over the day from the Chargers. And to be honest, 585 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: he may not have a full grasp of the playbook yet, 586 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: so that could be one reason why he was inactive 587 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. I'm sure he will get 588 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: a jersey on Sunday in Houston. Number two is that 589 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: Greco has a history with coach Shermer. Um he was 590 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: with in Cleveland with coach Shermer, and so Pat knows 591 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: him very very well. He trusts him, he appreciates that 592 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: he's had many years of experience in this league. And 593 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: he's very very smart. He's a smart player, real leadership 594 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: kind of guy very much. So I think leadership on 595 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: that line. I think what they want to do, I 596 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: think what they want to do Hold on a second, 597 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, I think what they want to do. 598 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: Let's take this one piece at a time. They got 599 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: the center issue was Russ set. So now Grego is 600 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: going to go in there and he's gonna have his 601 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: first game at center for the Giants, and they're gonna 602 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: see how that works out. And I hope it works 603 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: out great. Okay, if there continues to be some type 604 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: of problem with other people on the line, well then 605 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: you could be sure that if Pully gets a jersey 606 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: this Sunday, that's the first step in him getting consideration 607 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: for maybe competing for one of those other jobs the 608 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: following week. But you gotta take it one step at 609 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: a time. Thanks for the calling. My appreciati Yeah, thank 610 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: you guys for taking my call. You know you can't, 611 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. And and you know, some 612 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: of the guy's callers today are looking, you know, trying 613 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: to come up with solutions. But I'm just saying, if 614 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: Greco is good, that's a bonus. That's what we want 615 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: to see. So and and if he's good, okay, he's good. 616 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: So now let's move with the guard and move this guy. 617 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: I would put if you want to try Pully. I 618 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: would say, leave Greco where he is. If he does 619 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: a good job this week, let him be the center 620 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: that If you want to try Pully battle of Mommy 621 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: for that spot, that's fine, yes, yes, but I'm saying 622 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: I need to get that solidified because other than the quarterback, 623 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: who else is to touch the ball the most center. 624 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you, Okay, we're good. Let's go to Delaware 625 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: speak with a buddy coach Marvin. Hey, coach, how you 626 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: doing today, Bud? I'm doing good. Rush. How are you 627 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: Inaul doing? Im so glad to hear from you today. Yeah. Yeah, 628 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: listening to everyone's in their concerns and think the two 629 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: things I had was on the offensive defensive side for 630 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: me when when they played Dallas Dallas, we have to 631 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: give him credit. They had one pack of a scheme 632 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: for it, and so you got to give them credit 633 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: for what they did. Um. But my thing was, it 634 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: seemed as though they disguised those blitzes and those skins 635 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: so well that I don't know if they knew the count. 636 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys noticed anything. I know 637 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: you're at the game all did you notice anything with 638 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: the count? It seemed like those cornerboot, those slot um blitzes. 639 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: From watching it on television, you really couldn't see it coming. 640 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know if they knew the count or 641 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: the count. I'll tell you what coach from I'll let 642 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: Paul answer that from where he was, from where I was, 643 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: which was in my living room or in my then 644 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm watching it. The giants didn't see anything coming 645 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: last Sunday night. I agree with that, Russet and and 646 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: and you really couldn't see it on television. So that's 647 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,399 Speaker 1: why michaelcern was normally when they have it, they had 648 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: that that that dummy count where they could see that 649 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: corner make a movie. Because he missed just the count. 650 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: I know what you mean. You know what, Coach Marvin. Here, 651 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: here's the trouble with with what we're talking about, and 652 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: it kind of gets to the crux and matter. I 653 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: talked about it on on w f An this week. 654 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: Russ alluded to it before. There are two things you 655 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: have to have to have a successful offensive line play. 656 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: And you know this first thing, you have to have 657 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 1: his alignment and Coach Shermer in his UH talk with 658 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: Mike eys in Today and the transcript is on giants 659 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: dot Com. They put it up this morning. Coach Schremer 660 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: said the alignment was okay in Dallas, so push that aside. 661 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: That's not the problem. Even Chris Collinsworth said on TV 662 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: they were lined up properly, and Coach Sremer said, we 663 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: had a hat for a hat, so the alignment was good. 664 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: So now where's the problem. It comes with part two, 665 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: the assignments. Now, Coach Marvin, I think you and I 666 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: both know Eli Manning has been in this league now 667 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: fifteen years. Okay, he's not making bad calls. He's not 668 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 1: calling out bled blitz packages, he's not calling out poor protections. 669 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: That's not on Eli. I I am pretty sure nine 670 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: percent that Eli Manning made the right calls at the 671 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, and if there were audibles, made the 672 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: right audibles. So I don't think that's on him. Now, 673 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: you can only take it so far. Where did the 674 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: assignments bust? Where did they go bad? Was that the 675 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: individual players themselves elves who didn't know what to do. 676 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: Is it because they didn't get the line calls from 677 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: the center, or did the center miscommunicate the line calls 678 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: to the other lineman. Those are the only three things 679 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: that could have possibly happened that you're a coach. Coach, Marvin, 680 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I know a lot 681 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 1: of folks out there don't, but those are the three 682 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: things you and I both know. Those are the three 683 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: conduits that have to that have to be flowing for 684 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: everything to work properly. Which one of the three broke down? 685 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I agree with that call the ex 686 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: It was the execution, and I said Dallas did a 687 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: better job executing. But my issue was with the count itself, 688 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: because with my guys is what I want my offensive 689 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: line to do is get the jump on the defensive linemen. 690 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: With the count, I need them to get off the 691 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: ball before the Yeah, I didn't see that, Marvin. I 692 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 1: didn't see that. I didn't from the field, and and 693 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: you know I'm usually right right there. I didn't see it. Yeah, 694 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I know you didn't say 695 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: that about the count, but that was my question. Could 696 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: you tell anything different? No, No, what I'm saying is 697 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't see that. I did not. I did not 698 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: sense that the count was an issue. Okay, Um, the 699 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: other the other part of it is from the tomb, 700 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: only watching it from television. They showed a couple of 701 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: times where he got set and the guys came free. 702 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: But it looked like the receivers was running, Um, look 703 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: like kid yard route, didn't look like a lot of 704 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: crossing routes, didn't look like a lot of slant that 705 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: somehow defeat those those blitzes where we can have routes 706 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: where we can get rid of the ball sooner. I mean, 707 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,479 Speaker 1: I'm again, I'm watching it from television, I can't really tell, 708 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: but it looked like we weren't running routes where we 709 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: can get rid of the ball quick them. Now. Um, 710 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: but that's just played calling, and you know you didn't 711 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: do that all day. Um. But than if they had 712 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: anything like that. The outlet routes that they were lied 713 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: on were the dump offs to Barkley. That that's what 714 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: they relied on as the checkdown or the hot read 715 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: instead of something that was five or six yards beyond 716 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: beyond the line of scrimmage. They were relying on the 717 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: checkdown to Barkley as as the hot read. That's that's 718 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 1: what they were using, thinking that Barkley. By the way, 719 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: I believe the number of us. There was a guy 720 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: who does film. Um and I haven't done this actual 721 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: stat but a guy sent me a Twitter message, a 722 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: film a junkie said, I believe Barkley has broken the 723 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: first tackle on like of his touches. I mean, and 724 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: so that's not necessarily a bad plan if you know 725 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: Barkley's got those kinds of jukes. No, you know, a 726 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: coach and as always, coach marm thank you very much 727 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: for the call. But like to me, the one positive, 728 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: if there was any kind of positive that came out 729 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, remember you're talking about a 730 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: young man who didn't see any you know, all but 731 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: a couple of downs in pre season. In the first game, 732 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, watching him get the touches in the last 733 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: game and watching him, I mean, he's got moves. He 734 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: was breaking a tackle. You know, you can't just get 735 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: him once it's you could see. I mean, if if 736 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: you're a Giants fan, you could you drool over the 737 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: possibility when the ball is in his hands, uh Quan, 738 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, things can happen, you know, So that that's 739 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: one of the pluses to kind of get him in 740 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: a rhythm. But you know, I want to see him 741 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 1: in a rhythm, not as the checkdown guy. No, not really, 742 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: because you know what, but when you're doing the checkdowns, 743 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: basically it's the same thing as handing the ball off. 744 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: You know what. I want to see him. I want 745 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: to see him getting the ball on a little a 746 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,919 Speaker 1: little short you know, five years just a five yard 747 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: screen ahead where he's got a uh some head started 748 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: out of the starting gate, you know, like you spread 749 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: the out of the starting gate. Have him getting with 750 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: with you know, Augustus steam and smoking. Let's see what 751 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: happens with that. Let's go to Columbus So.

Let's go to Columbus, Ohio. 757 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: Check in with Adam. Hello Adam, you're on with Russ 758 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: and PAULI. Hey, guys, nice to talk to you. Thanks 759 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: for having me. Not much. I wanted to kind of 760 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: share an opinion on on kind of what you guys 761 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: have been saying and maybe you thought about the game 762 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Um, you know, I just for me, I 763 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: understand a little bit about why some of the fans 764 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: are frustrated with the coaching, because I think that the 765 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,840 Speaker 1: old line, it's not an ability problem, it's a continuity problem. 766 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: And I get it. You know, you need time to develop, 767 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: you need time to to become more cohesive. But man, 768 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: are our worst. It just can't be this bad. I mean, 769 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: it completely renders the offense dysfunctional, like we saw on Saturday. 770 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,040 Speaker 1: Even if they could have had average competency. I think 771 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: are are you know, secondary weapons or primary weapons are 772 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 1: enough to light up the scoreboard. But I disagree with 773 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: the idea that it's unfair to say, you know, hey, 774 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: the coach has got to be held accountable, or nobody 775 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: should be hold on a second, Adam, no one, no 776 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 1: one is saying coaches or gms, well you asked them, 777 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: they all hold themselves accountable. I'm I'm just saying after 778 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 1: two games they were three and thirteen last season after 779 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: two games, Hello, look like the sky is falling against 780 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: the end of the world. This is terrible. This, I mean, 781 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: it can't be that way. You just, Adam, there are 782 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: seven new head coaches in the NFL this season, not one. 783 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: Just here, seven new coaches, and you know what, they 784 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: all lost the for this week. There was a reason 785 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: that there were seven new coaches because seven teams had 786 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 1: lousy seasons last season. It doesn't get fixed in a game, 787 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't get fixed in two games. I understand that. 788 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: But the problem is this as I see it, or 789 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: something that's worth noting, is yes, it's not going to 790 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 1: be fixed. We're not gonna go from a struggling old 791 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: line to an all provo line overnight or even in 792 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: a matter of one season or a few weeks. But 793 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: I think you guys just keep this missing. How incompetent 794 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: this line? Love on Sunday. I'm not saying that, Adam, 795 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 1: if they were, if you're gonna say we're dismissing's going 796 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 1: to call because I don't know what you're listening to. 797 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: Always said they were horrible last week. We could have 798 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: knocked us over with a feather. It was shocking to 799 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: all of us who was dismissing anything. Don't put Adam, Adam, 800 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: don't put words in our mouths okay, no easy? Goodbye Adam, goodbye, Adam, 801 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: goodbye I mean, you want to call and say something, 802 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: that's fine. Don't tell us that we're dismissing the offensive line. 803 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,280 Speaker 1: What the hell have we been talking about for forty 804 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 1: five minutes? I mean, come on that that was a 805 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: subpart perforwardance by all starting five? Who who's denying? Who 806 00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: the hell gave anybody a pass? All right, we're dismissing 807 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I mean, that's really stupid. 808 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: We opened a show with talking about the offensive line. 809 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: What can we do to fix it? We were talking 810 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: about chipping and this. Hello, Well, we're not talking about 811 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 1: greco and moving over and what are you talking about? 812 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: We're talking about potential solutions and things that they could 813 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: do to to maybe make the situation better. I you know, 814 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: to suggest that we're dismissing it or ignoring the problem 815 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: would really be uh far fetched. That's just not true. 816 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: Call with the point. Don't call with a lie, okay, 817 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,439 Speaker 1: because if you're gonna call with a lie, you're gonna 818 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 1: get it thrown right back at you. Let's go up 819 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: to albody and check in with Ryan. Hey, Ryan, how 820 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: you doing? Hey, good afternoon, guys, how are you? I 821 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: said a comment on the defense in the offense. A 822 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: comment on the defense is, um, the defense is playing great, 823 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 1: and I much gonna throw They're not great, but they've 824 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: been very competitive. YEA great is let's let's slow down 825 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: with great. We're growing too. They're playing good for the situations, 826 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: very competitive. Similar turnovers because I hadn't really had in 827 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: the first game, and I don't think they had any 828 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: against alas about there. You go to be a great defense, 829 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: you have to get the turnovers. And and I know 830 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: sacks are overrated and I always say that as well, 831 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: but it would be certainly nice to get more quarterback 832 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: hits that that's what makes you a great defense. They're 833 00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: not a great defense, but they're certainly competitive good. And 834 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: then um, a comment on the offensive line would be, um. 835 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: People seemed to seem to be overlooking the fact that 836 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: Soldier and oma May and the two guys see A 837 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 1: signed are not really playing great at all. Everybody just 838 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,919 Speaker 1: keeps piling on Flowers. Um, as far as I think 839 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 1: I looked it up online, Um, the Soldier gave up 840 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,319 Speaker 1: just as many sacks as Flowers has this season. If 841 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Flowers is probably given up more pressures. 842 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: But they're both not playing well, he only needs to 843 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: relax with jumping on Flowers a little bit. He's at 844 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: a new scheme and he's playing a new position with 845 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: four new guys. Well, as you know, fair or not fair, 846 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: Flowers is the whipping boy. It's not fair. And Paul 847 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: and I were talking about it, you know, before we 848 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: got on the air, a lot of guys on that 849 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 1: offensive line had. In fact, Flowers might have been one 850 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 1: of the better performers on the offensive line, which is 851 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: not saying much. Last he held Toothless on the edge. 852 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: Yes he really did, Yes, he did. So you make 853 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: a fair point with that that that is a situation, 854 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,799 Speaker 1: but not I don't know what it is, um, you know, 855 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's cohesiveness. I know, I don't 856 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: know if it's them all getting together whatever. But it's 857 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 1: got to be fixed. That's just what that's to me, 858 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: as Paul's as as Paul said, uh, you know, Colt 859 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: Shermer said, the alignments were there. Well, if the alignments 860 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: were there, they were properly they were properly set, you 861 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: know the hat on hat then was it missed the signments? 862 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 1: And who was missing? What was it missed? The assignments 863 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: because they forgot when And I'm not being sarcastic when 864 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,799 Speaker 1: I say they forgot new playbook, new steams, whatever. I 865 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 1: don't know, but it's got to be fixed now. I 866 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: will tell you this, Okay, I keep very specific charts 867 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: on this stuff. You want to talk about the Giant sacks? Uh, 868 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: three of their sacks so far this year have been 869 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: allowed by running backs. Okay, So let's let's just make 870 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: that clear from the get go, and of the offensive lineman, 871 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: I got her Nandez responsible for three of them, and 872 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,360 Speaker 1: he would lead the way right now. I thought he 873 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 1: gave up two against Dallas, so you know. And I'm 874 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,720 Speaker 1: a big will her Nandez fan, but let's not forget 875 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: he is a rookie, okay, and he is going to 876 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: have a learning curve. So it'd be unfair to beat 877 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: the stuffing out of this guy as he's trying to 878 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: learn his way through the league. Will her Nandez is 879 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: going to be an outstanding prospect in this league, and 880 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 1: by all accounts, people think he's got pro Bowl written 881 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: all over him. But that doesn't mean that he is 882 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: going to go in a finger right out of the box. 883 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: That's all and he's also Ryan. Remember this, he's also, 884 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: as Paul says, a tremendous prospect. But he's also a 885 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:50,399 Speaker 1: rookie put in in with not a complete veteran line 886 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: that's been together for years. It's all new. So it's 887 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: a rookie with really what is line all put together? 888 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: When I say a rookie line, a rookie line at 889 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: the New York Giants, that's that's double jeopardy. That makes 890 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,959 Speaker 1: his job twice as hard. Thanks for the call, Ryan, 891 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you. Ryan makes a fair point with that, 892 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's just, uh, it annoyed me before you 893 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: know again with dismissing the offensive line, that's all we've 894 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: been talking about. I mean, for crying out loud. Let's 895 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:25,279 Speaker 1: go to Pennsylvania. Check in with Mike, Mike, How you doing, Paul? Russ? 896 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: How we Didner? Hello? Are you doing? Mike? Pretty good? 897 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: Pretty good? Hey? Paul? Should I start the Sean Jackson 898 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: or rnall cop full PPR for see Russ. He's being 899 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: sarcastic because he knows that I think fantasy football should 900 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 1: be abolished in every way shaping. So thank you, Mike. 901 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate the question. Did oh, I second the emotion, 902 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: but go ahead, Mike god No, I just want to 903 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: make a point that our strengths play really well to 904 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: Houston's weaknesses. And kind of my call with the prediction. 905 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,360 Speaker 1: Uh first off, Mark Miller, Alfred Bruce and Blue between 906 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: the tackles Runners, they have no explosion as long as 907 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 1: Landon Collins contains Watson. We said absolutely no, he's shutting 908 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: down the run. Did you watch the Titans game at 909 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 1: all last week? Was that available in your market? The 910 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: Titans Texans game? No? No, Miller, Miller did show some 911 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: jukes around the edges. I'll be honest with you right 912 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 1: now there. I believe they're the top running game in 913 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: the league. And Miller showed me some quicks that I 914 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: wasn't quite sure that he had. I give him a 915 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 1: little more credit than than you're giving him. Yeah, I 916 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't listen, you know, just to say all land 917 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,239 Speaker 1: has got to do is take care of the Shawn 918 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,400 Speaker 1: and you know we're in you know, easy peasy. You 919 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: know again, I'm gonna put words in your mouth. But 920 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,759 Speaker 1: the way you've made it sound like okay, that won't 921 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 1: be okay. I think it's gonna take a little more. 922 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 1: Are you suggesting to Collin spies de Shawn Watson? Is 923 00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: that the idea that well? See talking to James Betcher 924 00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: about that yesterday, and you know he answered a very 925 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: similar question, not about Collins, but about would you consider 926 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: spying Watson and is that part of your playbook? And 927 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 1: he was very hesitant on that because it was his 928 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 1: opinion that if you use a spy, you're going to 929 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: give the receivers too much time to break free of coverage. 930 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: And with Watson's ability to buy time and then unload 931 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,399 Speaker 1: a strike with with a very strong arm, that could 932 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: be asking for trouble. So I got the impression unless 933 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 1: coach Betcher is kind of putting up a smoke screen, 934 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: I got the impression that he's not a huge fan 935 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: of using spies. Well, I don't think we really have to. 936 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, we can play Nickel for the majority of 937 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: the game. Houston has really no tight endswer at home 938 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: about just Aikins and Griffins, so they can kind of well, 939 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 1: like I said, we play well against their weaknesses. Uh, 940 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 1: Watson will give up the ball some he is susceptible 941 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 1: to to give him the ball away. If the Giants 942 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 1: can get a couple of picks that would be your 943 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 1: best hope in terms of defending their passing game. Right, Well, yeah, 944 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean as far as their defensive line is concerned, 945 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: everybody's all. I don't know, really, we'll stay scared about it. 946 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 1: But they only had two tackles for a loss against 947 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 1: the Titans. Now, granted, the tackles Titans tackles are arguably 948 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 1: the best in the league, but their their guards are 949 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: garbage though. Uh they're all, they're old. Their their old 950 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,239 Speaker 1: line crumbled like a saltine cracker against Tennessee. I was 951 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 1: not very impressed. I would agree with that. They only 952 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 1: had two tackles for a loss against the Patriots too, 953 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,319 Speaker 1: And we all know what shaped their lines in Well, 954 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,440 Speaker 1: you're talking about now the Detexans defensive line, of their 955 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: offensive line, their defensive line, their defensive their defensive line. 956 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: It's the front seven. It's not about their defensive line. 957 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: Because they play a three four and Romeo Cornell seventy 958 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 1: one years old, Russ and I remember him when he 959 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,880 Speaker 1: was an assistant with the Giants. He plays a base 960 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,319 Speaker 1: three four. He is not gonna do a lot of 961 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 1: stuff that's gonna be high gamble high risk. Romeo basically 962 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,400 Speaker 1: plays a a solid, fundamental defense that's gonna show you 963 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,400 Speaker 1: straight up what he's got. He's gonna ask his guys 964 00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: to win their matchups, and he's going to basically force 965 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: you to methodically work your way down the field and 966 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: ask you to make your own mistakes so that you 967 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: self destruct. That is Romeo's philosophy on defense. Thanks for 968 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: the call, Mike, appreciate it, alright, thank you, Okay, buddy Again, folks, 969 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: Gonna remind you that big Blue Kickoff Live here is 970 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,720 Speaker 1: presented by a Corpse Light. Download the cores Light Rewards 971 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,720 Speaker 1: app to win yourself amazing Giants prizes throughout this season. 972 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,120 Speaker 1: Got a few minutes to go before we call it 973 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,400 Speaker 1: a day. To a one five, one three the number. 974 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,240 Speaker 1: Let's go out the New Mexico and speak with Scott. 975 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: Hello Scott, how are you doing? Hi? Guys, how are 976 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 1: you doing? What's going on? I have a question. Obviously, 977 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 1: you can't win football games unless you score, and they've 978 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: had two touchdowns in two games. But the most alarming 979 00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: statistic after the two games played is that the Giants 980 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: on first down ranked dead last in the league. Uh. 981 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 1: I think it's two point five five yards per first down, 982 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: and both of you recognize the important recipe for disaster. Yeah, 983 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,720 Speaker 1: if you don't do anything on first down, it dictates 984 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,160 Speaker 1: what you're doing on the other downs that are going 985 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: to have. So my question is basically this, what does 986 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,919 Speaker 1: Pet Shermer or Mike Shula have to do in order 987 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 1: to change that statistic? Because if they don't change it 988 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 1: and they keep that statistic constant, I don't see how 989 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 1: the Giants are going to actually have a successful season. Well, Scott, 990 00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 1: I mean to change that. Let me ask you, isn't 991 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,280 Speaker 1: it obvious number one way the biggest change has to come. 992 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: It has to come from the guys up front. It 993 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: has to come from better offensive line play. So so 994 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean there are holes for the running back to 995 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 1: go through being as Kwan, So there's Eli Manny who's 996 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,840 Speaker 1: not running for his life, so they're not put in 997 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,960 Speaker 1: in subsequently end up if they listen forget first down. 998 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: They've been lousing on second down, so you know they 999 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 1: end up third and long. But you can't live third 1000 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,520 Speaker 1: and long, right, But first down is the critical down 1001 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: and what it makes sense to script. I know all 1002 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: teams script their first ten or fifteen plays. Yeah, generally speaking, 1003 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,239 Speaker 1: would it makes sense to do some gadget plays or 1004 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:48,240 Speaker 1: something different than what they're doing. Scott, they haven't trouble 1005 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,920 Speaker 1: blocking play. I'm not too keen on a gadget. Here's 1006 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 1: here's my take on this, Scott, and I'm taking you 1007 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,520 Speaker 1: question seriously. Here, here's what I'm seeing. I'm seeing a 1008 00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 1: Giants team that has not how to lead once at 1009 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: all this season. So what's happening is the numbers are 1010 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:07,720 Speaker 1: getting skewed because by by the time they're they're climbing uphill. 1011 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: Even in the Jacksonville game, they were still climbing up hill. 1012 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 1: Even though they were right in the game, they were 1013 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:17,560 Speaker 1: still climbing up hill. And neither time did they really 1014 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 1: get a running game going. We saw seqwon breakoff of 1015 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 1: sixty eight yard or against Jacksonville, but it was an aberration. 1016 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,359 Speaker 1: The running game has been zero, it's been nothing. Well, 1017 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 1: if your running game is nothing, then everybody knows. Guess what. 1018 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: They're not running the ball well, so they're gonna try 1019 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 1: to pass on first down to do something to get 1020 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,680 Speaker 1: the drive going, and we're gonna sick the dogs after them. 1021 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: So now teams are gonna be overly aggressive on first 1022 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: down coming after Eli and because they're not holding up 1023 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: protection wise, it's double jeopardy. You can't run it, now, 1024 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: you can't pass it because your quarterback is on his back, 1025 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,680 Speaker 1: So now what do you do? So to me, the 1026 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 1: best thing that could happen is a the Giants actually 1027 00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: play with a lead for once, because now that alleviates 1028 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: some of the pressure packages that they're gonna face, because 1029 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: maybe they can mix things up a little bit more 1030 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: once they get a lead. That would be number one. 1031 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 1: The second part of this philosophically for me, and I'm 1032 00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 1: sorry to say, but I really believe they need better 1033 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: not just blocking from the old line, but the tight 1034 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 1: ends have not done a good job helping out that 1035 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 1: old line at all, and the blocking off the edge 1036 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: has been very, very weak. And if it takes Ingram 1037 00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,319 Speaker 1: and Ellison to to bite there at their fingernails off, 1038 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 1: they need to help out on the edge because when 1039 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,399 Speaker 1: the Giants go double tight ends, those tight ends need 1040 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: to help seal the edge so that the running game 1041 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: can get going because there's nothing in the middle. Obviously, 1042 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 1: teams are clogging between the tackles. There's no room, so 1043 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: you better be able to get something off the edge. 1044 00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 1: Thank you. We've got time from one quick one. Phil 1045 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,919 Speaker 1: has been holding on in North Carolina. First off, Phil, 1046 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: are you safe down in North Carolina? Yeah? I'm fine, 1047 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 1: thank you. So so. So before I get into my 1048 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,640 Speaker 1: two things, just just a general comment Terry on the 1049 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:18,280 Speaker 1: fan base, and I think we're all at um disheartened 1050 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 1: and uh over the last number of years and it's 1051 00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: starting to feel like the seventies again, God forbid. But 1052 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: I would just say, we call into the show for 1053 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: a little therapy. And so it's great to practice kind 1054 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 1: of patience I feel with the fan base. So uh, 1055 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,360 Speaker 1: and and and Jeff and John and Lance are very 1056 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,160 Speaker 1: good at that. So that's that's my philosophy for the week. 1057 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 1: So let me get into my two things. Well, we'll 1058 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 1: get into one thing because we I took you because 1059 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: you've been holding on, so we we gotta like wrap 1060 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,680 Speaker 1: things up, get into one thing. Okay, I'll get into 1061 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: one thing. That's fine. Uh. And then this is my 1062 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 1: take on so far. It seems like our outside linebackers 1063 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,440 Speaker 1: are really doing a poor job. Obviously it's collective, but 1064 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 1: the one comment that I have is that it seems 1065 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 1: like Martin is a down grade from Divine Canard, and 1066 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: I particularly was interested in in calls take on this 1067 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: and in the light of this is a guy that's 1068 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: supposed to know the system very well, but yet it 1069 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: seems to be playing out of place quite a bit. Okay, Phil, 1070 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: thank you for the call. Yeah, Martin. Martin has has 1071 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: vacated the edge on a number of these plays to 1072 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: the outside these running plays. And I don't know if 1073 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: it's a recognition issue or or he's literally getting faked out. 1074 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you flat out right now. I'm not 1075 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:51,280 Speaker 1: sure why, but I would agree that he has not 1076 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 1: been properly in position on a number of those running plays. 1077 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 1: And that's got to change because teams, obviously you're going 1078 00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,160 Speaker 1: to see that on film and whenever they see him 1079 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: in there, they'll think about, oh, can we use one 1080 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: of our edge rushing plays against him because he has 1081 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,080 Speaker 1: not been staying home. Uh, there's there's there's really nothing 1082 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: else to be said. You've seen it on the tape 1083 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 1: and so have I. He's got to do better. I'm 1084 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 1: not sure though. When he was with Arizona, he was 1085 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 1: a part time player for Betcher with the Cardinals, and 1086 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 1: they told us that he did some standing up, and 1087 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 1: he also did some with his hand down in the dirt. 1088 00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he's more comfortable with. I do 1089 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 1: need to talk to him at some point this week, 1090 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 1: and I will try to do so. Let me just 1091 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 1: say this fil film who was trying to make a point. 1092 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 1: This is feeling you want you want to talk about, 1093 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 1: say we should be patient. This is feeling like the seventies. Well, 1094 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,800 Speaker 1: you know, since the seventies. It's one, two, three, four 1095 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,160 Speaker 1: year to come up and take a look at the 1096 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,920 Speaker 1: fort trophies in the uh you know, showcase out here 1097 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 1: in the building. I mean, let's be realistic. Last year sucked. 1098 00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,040 Speaker 1: We all agree with it. And you know what, the 1099 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,160 Speaker 1: first two games this season sucked. I think we all 1100 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 1: agree with it. You brought in a whole new regime. Okay, 1101 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: this is not like Cole you shrink. This is let's 1102 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: discuss the giants, okay. And when somebody calls up after 1103 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Paul and I are talking for forty five minutes, because 1104 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 1: that's what Phil was alluding to. When somebody calls help 1105 01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 1: after forty five minutes and says with the dismissing the 1106 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: offensive line, when we've been talking about it until we're 1107 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: blue in the face. Give me a break. Okay. Having 1108 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: said that, folks, it is Friday, let's hold Big Blue 1109 01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 1: takes care of business.
