Slash Giants For your rapid reaction, 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm Madeline Burke, joined by the Super Bowl champion Howard Cross. 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: Week eleven, the Giants fall to the visiting Green Day Packers. 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: Twenty seven to twenty is the final score, but Howard 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: a lot of changes for the Giants this week, not 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: only interim head coach Mike Kafka now running things, Jamis 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: Winston starting at quarterback. What did you see from this 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: offense led by Jamis? 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: I saw that Kafa did a great job mixing it up. 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: First fifteen plays is like a very scripted plays and 16 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: I thought that in the past they got away from that, 17 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: and this week didn't see me they got away from 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: They kind of stuck with it. They stuck with the 19 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: run a lot more, which was was very impressive. They 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 2: were taking a tough yards two and three yard at 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: a time. That was that was That makes it easier 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: from later in the game you get into five to 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: six and a couple of times they broke it outside 24 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: for like over ten yards, so that was good. I 25 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: also saw the middle of the field open up when 26 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: Jamis is in the game as a taller guy, he 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: throws the ball into the middle of field, sometimes in jeopardy, 28 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: but he does throw it into the middle of field, 29 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: So I kind of enjoyed that. 30 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they got the run game going as well. 31 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned how this scripted plays to start 32 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: the game worked out. 33 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: Well. 34 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: They had an opening drive touchdown, Devin Singletary running it in. 35 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: He had two rushing touchdowns on the day. It's his 36 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: third career two rushing touchdown game. How important was it 37 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: for this offense The fact that they were able to 38 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: get that run game going, something that they've struggled with 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: so far this season, and doing it against a Packers 40 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: team that doesn't often give up a lot of running yards. 41 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: Well, it's a good thing. One is a good thing 42 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: because you want to give your offensive line confidence, and 43 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: that's how you build a confidences by running the ball. Two, 44 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: it makes the passing game a lot easier because the 45 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: play action passes work if everybody's starting to commit to 46 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: try to stop the run. So both of those things 47 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: really helped Jamis out today being able to move the 48 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: ball on the ground. The office line was pretty excited 49 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: and grinding it out for him like they do every week. 50 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: But it made it a lot easier for him because 51 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 2: he hasn't played in this offense yet. 52 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Well, again, that run game going to really helped the 53 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: screen game. In the passing game too, we saw them 54 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: going for a little bit more in that category, something 55 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: that they've kind of gone away from the earlier part 56 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: of the season. 57 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: Well, the screen game was helped by the quick passes 58 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: outside and you started to see guys like trying to 59 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 2: break on the ball. So when it was time for 60 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: the throw the screen, they were breaking to the receiver 61 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: that was just up the field and leaving the back 62 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: out there by himself. So that really helped out. So 63 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: when when they stopped the block, they had like a 64 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: good five yards law protection before he even got touched. 65 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, now we talked about the opening drive touchdown. The 66 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: Giants were in it. It was a back and forth game. 67 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: The Packers had two missed pats. 68 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: On the day. 69 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: The Giants had one as well, a pat that was 70 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: flagged for a penalty of fifteen yard penalty and it 71 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: ended up being nearly fifty yards. 72 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: There was a miss. 73 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: But now we're getting in the weeds with it. 74 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 4: But you know they had a shoplock. 75 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: How do you chop block on a pat because they're 76 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: all touching each other, they're not, It's kind of that 77 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: was a very interesting call. 78 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: I was a little bit you know, I don't wear stripes, 79 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: so I'm not even gonna comment on because I don't 80 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: know what they're seeing down there. But whatever it was, 81 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: they threw the flag and backed them up, and the 82 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: retry on the pat was no good for the giants there. 83 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: The wind was blowing sideways at once half to feel, 84 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: I think towards the Moody sign, is that right, Moody 85 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: sign or Budweiser signed Winds blown towards the packer's sideline, 86 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: and the other half the field the waves blown towards 87 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: the giants silde. 88 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: I'm like, it was swirling down there like a toilet bowl. 89 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: It was. It was pretty bad. 90 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: I was like this, that's why I couldn't they could 91 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: get the kicks down if you weren't sure which way 92 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: to win was born exactly. 93 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: You could you could really miss them. How to get 94 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: in here? 95 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: If you're lined up here, you gotta go over the 96 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: middle with at the score right, How do we make 97 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 4: that happen? I don't know, Bud Citizen does it makes 98 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 4: sense of your money with citizens Official Bank of Eli Manning. 99 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the kicking game was not working out as effectively today. 100 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: That wind was whipping, it was cold, it was chilly. 101 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: But you know, despite that, the Giants still did find 102 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: their way a twenty to nineteen lead in the fourth quarter. 103 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: James Winston running in a touchdown. Packers take a twenty 104 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: seven to twenty lead with about four minutes left in 105 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: the game, and the Giants have an opportunity. Jamis brings 106 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: him down the field, takes a shot at the end 107 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: zone for Jalen Hyatt gets picked off. What did you 108 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: see on that play after a drive that they had 109 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: you been successful moving the chains down the field. 110 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 3: I'm not sure. 111 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Hilod high cut its route off, 112 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 2: if Jamis overthrew him. It's just that they'll know exactly 113 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: what happened. But it looked like they were a miscommunication 114 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: between the two of them and that's kind of where 115 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: the ball kind of gets away from them. And I 116 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: hate to say if I do remember seeing something like 117 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: that in the preseason as well, where he ran and 118 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: ran in the top of the route and Jamis threw 119 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: it to the outside. So I'm like so, and then 120 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: it was a conversation afterwards. So I don't know exactly 121 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: what each guy is seeing. If it's a read route 122 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: where you're at the top of your route, you have 123 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: to determine which way to go, then they both have 124 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: to be reading the same thing. So again I don't know. 125 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, a tough moment right there, with about a minute 126 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: left in the game, throwing a pick in the end zone, 127 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: giving the Packers the ball back. The Giants would lose 128 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty in a heartbreaking fashion. And then 129 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: when you look at the way the rest of this 130 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: game went down the defensive side of the ball, we 131 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: got to talk about the defense first of all, some positives. 132 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: Brian Burns two sacks on the day. He now has 133 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: thirteen sacks on the season. That's a new career high. 134 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: We're eleven weeks in, eleven games in. He's got a 135 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: new career high for a season. Total eclipsing his previous 136 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: career high of twelve and a half. It's got to 137 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: be feel great for him to have that personal accolade, 138 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: but also challenging to do so on a team and 139 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: a defensive unit that has had their struggles. 140 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's having one of those years. 141 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Could be all pro year, might get it up close 142 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: to nineteen sacks at the rate he's going right now, 143 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: you know, two sacks here and there, and teams are 144 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: still having to throw the ball against the Giants because 145 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 2: the giants are scoring points, so it's not like they're 146 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: going to be out there just running the ball, which 147 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: gives him more opportunities, which is you know, and you know, 148 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 2: if they keep getting the lead late in games, they're 149 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: definitely going to keep throwing the ball, which it gives 150 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: him more opportunities. 151 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: But having it, you know, having a great, great year. 152 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: And the season isn't going that well usually makes you 153 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: feel a little empty. You're proud of what you're doing. 154 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: You keep grinding, and I always say, try to have 155 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: your best year every year, and no matter what the 156 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: rest of the team's doing, you're trying to have your 157 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: best year. So he's doing that, which is impressive as 158 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: far as you know, the defense goes and what's these 159 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: shortcomings are for whatever reason? 160 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: You know. 161 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: I made a comment or in the pregame show and 162 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 2: during the show about like, you know, they they seem 163 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: to not to be able to reach for the victory. 164 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: I said, somehow, some way they got to take that 165 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: extra step, that extra they got to reach out a 166 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: little bit further to try to get to obtain what 167 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: they're going I don't know what it is. I'm watching them, 168 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: you know, run the ball right up the middle, like 169 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: not kind up the middle, right up the middle. Uh, 170 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: who's is Like if one guy's out out of position, 171 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: that gets you to the second level, if two guys 172 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: are out of position, that gets you into the secondary. 173 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: And it's been a lot of into the secondary moments. 174 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: So they got to figure it out, giving up the 175 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: edge a lot on past rush when when you know 176 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: you have to be outside and you you choose to 177 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: go inside because I can beat him inside. But when 178 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: you don't beat him inside, then all of a sudden, 179 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,559 Speaker 2: he's just kind of jogging around the outside and he's open, 180 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: giving himself more time throw the ball down the field. Uh, 181 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: there was there was a little bit of that out there, 182 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: and we saw that a lot. We want players to, 183 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: you know, be explosive. We want players to be creative. 184 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: But you know, I always say, like, you can live 185 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: be on nexs and o's once you can do the 186 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: x's and o's. 187 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: So how do you get that? How does this team 188 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: remedy that? 189 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Right? I mean, it looks like you see that spark 190 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: in this team, You see that fire, especially on the 191 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. You see them running through 192 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: the tape right there. How do you kind of inspire 193 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: that as a player or as a coaching staff that's 194 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: gone through so much change in this past week, how 195 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: do you how do you fix that? 196 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: You can't really fix it fix it because it's so 197 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: late in the season. But the first thing you do 198 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: is guys like Burns start holding other guys accountable, like 199 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: come on, guys, loo, look, you got to do this, 200 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: like you know if I'm doing this, or you gotta 201 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: do that. And the more you can hold each other accountable, 202 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: like and like don't just let it slide, like like 203 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: really be like hey this, we're not doing the right 204 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: thing here. The more accountability that you can have between 205 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: each other, the easier it's going to be. For the 206 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: coaching to take when you're out there doing your own thing, 207 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: and in some cases that's when or trying to help 208 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: somebody you think is not going to do the right thing, 209 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: which is also bad. Like if I'm standing behind you 210 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 2: and I'm looking at you, I'm like, I know he's 211 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: not gonna get. 212 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: Do this right. 213 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 2: So I got to like hedge a little bit. The 214 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: next thing, you know, somebody's up to my level blocking me. 215 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: But I should of orse. I should have been because 216 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: I was worried about him not getting this guy because 217 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: he's gotten gashed twice already, right, So you get that's 218 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: you know, that's accountability and finding somebody that you know, 219 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: guys that are consistent besides besides Dexter in the middle, 220 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: the new guy we just picked up in the free agency, 221 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: number ninety one, I believe that's right. Do that mess 222 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: it up? But the defensive tackle we got h he 223 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: is helping Dexter out tremendously and you know, getting uh 224 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: Nacho back healthy, trying to keep him healthy if we can. Uh, 225 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: It's I just don't know. You just got to find 226 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: a way to get these guys you know, constantly, constantly, 227 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: constantly and play it's it's and that player was Harris 228 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: by the way. But you've got to constantly find three 229 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: guys in the middle, three guys in the middle, three 230 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: guys in the middle. You gotta find. I see, Thibodeau's 231 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 2: a little banged up. You got Burns. Burns and Thibodau 232 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 2: have been playing pretty well to go. 233 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 4: If you want to know how to manage two minutes 234 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 4: of crunch time football on your match. But if you're 235 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 4: wondering about a long term financial plan, you should talk 236 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: to Citizens. 237 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: Hey, I can also talk long care. I'd like to 238 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 3: learn about any routine. 239 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: Yes, I knew I could help make sense of your 240 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 4: money with Citizens. 241 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: Right. 242 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: Thibeau didn't play today, and then you know, also on 243 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: the defensive side, Holland didn't play a debo, a late scratch. 244 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Corey Black gets hurt in the game, is out with 245 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: the hand. I mean you're depleted. 246 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, you get and you know, when you're getting all 247 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 2: that stuff, you're trying to keep guys in. You got 248 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: to have guys that are like I due Carter great talent, 249 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: got to match talent's got to match play on the field. 250 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: It's got to be consistent and you know, Trying to 251 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: be a pro isn't just being a guy who's making 252 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: every play. Trying to be in a pro is just 253 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: they had did my job which allowed other guys to 254 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 2: make the play. And that's sometimes that's harder than the office. 255 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: Linemen know it better than anybody because they're blocking, they're 256 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 2: not catching ball, running passes or anything like that. 257 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: They're just doing their job. 258 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: And as long as they do their job, everybody else 259 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: can do their job around them. So you kind of 260 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: have to have that kind of mentality. I'm gonna do 261 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: my job. And if my job is to set the edge, 262 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: and we'll set the edge, my job is to come inside, 263 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: I'm we'll come inside. My job is to fill one 264 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: spot on the field, on spot, if it's to stay 265 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: with the receiver, never look into the backfield. Then will 266 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: stay with receiver, look in the backfield. I know this 267 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: guy is gonna scream for ball, so I can get 268 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: my hand up to her. But it's all these different. 269 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: Things, yeah, and a lot of things, and a lot 270 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: of an opportunity to correct them again, because another game 271 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: right on deck, another week, another game. The Giants have 272 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: a late season by so the best circumstance when you 273 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: lose a game like this is an opportunity to get 274 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: back on the field. 275 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 4: Next week. 276 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: They're taking talents to Detroit taking on the Lions. The 277 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Lions playing Sunday night football this week, but we know 278 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: what a tough opponent Detroit can be. Their run game 279 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: is ferocius. Jered Golf is a talented quarterback. What is 280 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: your headline for this matchup between the Giants and Lions 281 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: next week? 282 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: Keep it simple? Stupid? I mean, here's the problem with 283 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: the Lions. The Lions. 284 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: You know they lost Ben Johnson, but their offense hasn't 285 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: lost a step. They are what I mean by they're 286 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: scoring a lot of points. They're running a lot of 287 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: different style plays. Some people say they're trick plays if 288 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: you run them just because it's the next play up. 289 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: It's not a trick play. It's it's part of your 290 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: part of your selection. 291 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: They always go forward on fourth down. 292 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to be on top of it. 293 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: And you got like, not just good receivers, you got 294 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: explosively receivers. You gotta explode two explosive running backs. Like 295 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: the Giants are having a hard time stopping a run game. 296 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: What do you think is gonna happen. They're they're gonna 297 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: run the ball at you, and they're not gonna they're 298 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 2: gonna keep all their plays and. 299 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: They're gonna run the ball. 300 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: They're gonna show you a thousand formations where you have 301 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: to constantly try to figure out where to go. They 302 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: may not, they may not substitute, they may run no huddle. 303 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: Whatever they're gonna do, they're gonna do it at full, 304 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 2: full tilt, and from a defensive standpoint, that's gonna be tough. 305 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: Offensively a little bit of the same. They they have 306 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 2: a pretty good defense. They got good guys coming off 307 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: the edge. You gotta to account for those guys. They 308 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: got a couple of guys in the middles they're okay. 309 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 2: Secondary is pretty good. So you know, we got receivers 310 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: that aren't ordinarily starters. They got to come up big. 311 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: You can't run the wrong route. 312 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: You can't. 313 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 2: You gotta be on the same page as your quarterback. 314 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: Your quarterback's gotta trust you, and that's gonna It's like 315 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: I said, there are a lot of This is a 316 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: rock that's on the hill and that you got to 317 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 2: push up and you're at the bottom and you haven't 318 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: even the rock hasn't touched the hill yet. This is 319 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: this is a this is a tough moment. I'm not 320 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: saying they can't be Detroit. Anybody can have a bad game, 321 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: but the obstacles are so great that you have to 322 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: raise your level, like raise it even more. 323 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: And the Giants have had so many games much like 324 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: today where they almost got it done where they were 325 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 1: in it and almost got the win, but. 326 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: Just felt just short, just out of reach. 327 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see how things go next week as we 328 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: turn the page to Week twelve against the Lions. But 329 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: for Week eleven, it's twenty seven to twenty.
