Speaker 1: throughout the season. Pauli Giants getting ready to take on

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: these Chicago Bears on Sunday. Very different type of game

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: than we've seen the last three weeks. Much more similar

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: to the type of matchup they had against Washington where

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: you're looking in an offense that does just enough, but

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: they win games with their defense. And boy, this is

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: a rough, rough matchup, and we'll start with the Bears

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: defense first. To me, I haven't seen a more complete

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: defense on all three levels where you can't really find

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: a distinct weakness, where oh, you can attack the linebackers,

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: you can attack the ed, you can attack the secondary.

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: They are just so solid top to bottom and they're

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: will coached by Vick fan. You, Yeah, that's that's a

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: real nutshell, uh comment? And I think you're right. They're

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: fundamentally sound. They don't make a lot of mistakes. They

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: tackle well, they play the ball very well. In the secondary,

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: they anticipate. They don't gamble. They anticipate. There's a difference

25
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: between gambling and anticipating. They work very well together with

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: their front because they pretty much know how much time

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: their front is going to give someone to throw the ball. Therefore,

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: they anticipate, Okay, the ball is gonna have to come

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: out now. And that goes to film study too, Paul, preparation,

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: film study, and fundamentals. It's all there. There's no doubt.

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I think from a very generic

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: perspective without necessarily saying they've got any true phenomenal superstars

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: except Click, I don't think he is. I'm sorry, I don't.

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I think he's very much overrated. You're talking about a

35
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: guy who in nine games has eight sacks, yes, but

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: only nine quarterback hits, which means you only get the

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: quarterback one other time when he didn't get a sack.

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Premier guys like Lawrence Taylor would would would laugh at

39
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: those numbers. He's not Lawrence Taylor, but Lawrence Taylor. Well,

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: that's true. Nobody is. That's what Belichick said, and he's right. Um,

41
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, I take J. J. Watt over Mac any

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: day in the week. Myself, I'm saying he's the best

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: defensive player in the league. But I'm saying he's a

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: top tier defensive player. He's one of the better ones.

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: He'll go to the Pro Bowl. I mean, he's got

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's got twenty eight tackles. He's on the

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: same level of say a Fletcher Cox. He's got tackles

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: and nine games well three tackles. Again, it also depends

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: how the Bears track tackles. You know, each team tracks

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: tackles differently understood, there's no official stat for for tackles cricks.

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Every team has press box numbers, and the league for

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: some reason decided many years ago that they would not

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: make that an official stat. So a lie is technically

54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: does not have an official tackle stat for any player.

55
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Because what some teams do they will go back and

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: have their coaching staff regrade the number of tackles guys have,

57
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: and then during the week they'll update those numbers based

58
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: on game film. That's why of some guys that lead

59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: their team with two tackles and other guys that lead

60
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: their team with eighty five tackles, and it can literally

61
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: be that stark from team to team. You will remember

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: years ago, the Atlanta Falcons were known around the league

63
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: for shall we say, being very lenient with their tackle numbers.

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: They had a linebacker named Jesse Tubble who for years

65
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: I was a long time ago going to Jesse Tubble. Yes,

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: he had ridiculous tackle numbers. It happens in the NBA.

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: It happened with Charles Barkley particularly, Uh. They always inflated

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: his rebound numbers. And if you go back to keep

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: it local, when Jason Kidd was with the Nets, I'm

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: told his assist numbers were also inflated at home. Oh yeah,

71
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: so I get that. But here's the thing, um, Usually

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: the numbers are inflated, they're not deflated. And if Khalil

73
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Mack has been credited with twenty eight total tackles in

74
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: nine games, that is three tackles and game, folks, that's

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: not dominant to me. Now. I get the fact that

76
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: he's got eight Saxson nine game sames, and he's got

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: five force fumbles. I understand that part of it. But

78
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to truly be a dominant player,

79
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: a true defensive player to your candidate, which he was

80
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: a few years ago. Uh, you gotta do better than that.

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, you also have to consistently beat

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: double teams and sometimes triple teams. Khalil Mack all but

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: one of his sacks this year have come on a

84
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: one on one matchup. Okay, he's beating the double team

85
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: for a sack once. That's not gonna rock my boat. Okay,

86
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: let's move past Mac. Let's talk about the rest of

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: the guys in the defense. One guy that I think

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: is very underrated Paul then nobody talks about is a

89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: Chem Hicks who plays the defensive end in the three four,

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: moves to the three technique when they go to the

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: four defensive lineman in sub package. He's not a Fletcher

92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Cox level player, but he's right below him, and he's

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: he's darn good. Yeah he is. He is. And quite frankly,

94
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: you know when you talk about those guys up front

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: like that, and Eddie Goldman is under good guy by

96
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: the way, he plays. No sure, Um, there's a reason

97
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: why the Bears are the number one rush defense. And and

98
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: and and again think about Mac to get off track

99
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: for a second. He's a pass rusher, doesn't really play,

100
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: doesn't really have a lot of interest in playing the run,

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: but these guys do. And that's that's why he can

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: get away with it correct. And by the way, they

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: have a great run stuffing linebacker, and Danny Trevathan, who

104
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: is a borderline Pro Bowl player, really good against the run.

105
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: You got Roquan Smith who is maybe the fastest linebacker

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: in the league. He can go sideline to sideline, cover

107
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. He can play. And then you go

108
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: into the secondary. You've got three guys that can play

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: man or zone, and Bryce Callahan who's their slot guy,

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: Prince Mukamara and Fuller, and then Adrian Amos isn't fine

111
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: run support, low box safety. Then Eddie Jackson, who anticipates.

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: You talked about this before the turnovers. He anticipates better

113
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: than any safety I've seen the league this year. Some

114
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: of the one pick he had against Kirk Cousins in

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: that Vikings game, before the receiver even got into his

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: rake Cousins was starting to throw the ball, he was

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: on the move to intercept that pass. You know, these

118
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: are not interceptions that have come from deflections and just

119
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: ter quarterback throw. No, no, these are anticipatory plays that

120
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: have been made by the Bears, not given to them

121
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: by opposing offense. Legit, legit. Uh we We did a

122
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: lot on Smith at the combine. Oh yeah, remember, uh

123
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: we We all liked him. It was hard to find

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: anybody who didn't like him. Now, little light in the

125
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: Buddies only two thirty five, but he can do everything.

126
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: He does a lot of things for you know, I

127
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: never thought Trove then when he came from the Broncos.

128
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I didn't think he was

129
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: as good as advertised. He certainly fit well into their

130
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: system and done very well for them. I always thought

131
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: his numbers were a bit hollow um, But I can't

132
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: argue with the results right now. This this Bears unit,

133
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, plays better collectively as a unit than

134
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: any defense in the league right now. And and that

135
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: is why I don't necessarily have to look at any

136
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: of these guys and bowed to them as a super duperstar.

137
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: But together they are solid. Yeah. And Pat Shermer talked

138
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: about this on Thursday when he kind of met with

139
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: the print media in his little side session, and Paul

140
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: and I are there. We're kind of listening on it.

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: And he talked about a book that his uncle, Fritz Schremer,

142
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: who's an all time defensive coordinator, wrote and he said,

143
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: you can't coach takeaways, and he's absolutely right. You get

144
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: takeaways by playing good fundamental team defense. If your feet

145
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: are in the right place and your eyes are in

146
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: the right place, that's how you get takeaways. Good fundamental

147
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: defense leads to that. You don't just coach takeaways. You

148
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: gotta coach the technique that will get you there. And

149
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of plays this week with Carl Banks,

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: who does strategy for the show. Are actual and MSG

151
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: giants first and ten and I picked up place for him.

152
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: We go through them and then we kind of decide

153
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: what we want to use for showing strategy. And I

154
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: watched I don't know, probably three dozen or so Bear

155
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: snaps with him. He was getting visibly excited watching the

156
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Bears on tape. Because you'll talk to Carl, he's very

157
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: frustrated how around the league technique on defense is kind

158
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: of falling off. The Bears do everything right when there

159
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: when their corners have to play outside technique, they play

160
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: outside technique when the linebackers have to hit the tight

161
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: end off the line of scrimmage before his route. They

162
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: hit the tight end of the line of scrimmage on

163
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: this route. And as all those little things by the

164
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: corner forcing the receiver inside, the safety has room to

165
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: get over there and make a play. And everyone knows

166
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: what the other guys gonna do. They do it. They

167
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: play off him and that's how they made plays. And

168
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that to me from all the defenses I've seen this year.

169
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: And look, when the Giants played the Jaguars, the Jaguars

170
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: defense was still playing at a high level at that point.

171
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: They're not anymore. The Bears are the most fundamentally sound

172
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: defense that I've seen. Yeah, three words come to mind.

173
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: And over the years I've heard many coaches use different

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: words you can use. They play clean and now I'm

175
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: not talking about dirty verse clean. I'm just talking about

176
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: to clean in terms of they follow the textbook. Crisp

177
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: is another good word. Your coaches talk about um and uh, precise,

178
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: very very precise with everything that they do. Uh. They're

179
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: not sloppy at all, and they were wise to And

180
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times a new head coach

181
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: comes in and they'll just clean house reflectively, reflexively and

182
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: not think about it. Very very smart by Matt Nagget

183
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: to keep Vic Fangian. You know what's interesting to me though,

184
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: the one guy who heard headlines about a couple of

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: years ago, Leondard Floyd, who I was never very high on.

186
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: He's okay, he's and that's it. He's light against power

187
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: running games. You know, you run at him, you can

188
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: blow him out of the play. And he's not an

189
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: explosive past. He's fine, but he's nothing special. I just

190
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure you know that I

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: get this in here because a lot of revisionist history

192
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: from people who wanted the Giants to get him and

193
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be a great outside edge passing

194
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: by the way, and I was against it all along.

195
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: None of us wanted Leonard Floyd. Both of us weren't

196
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: into that because the Giants played a four three and

197
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: he just didn't fit. No, he he was a three

198
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: four outsideline backer. And to be honest, at that, I

199
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: thought he was one dimensional. I thought he was strictly

200
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: an edge rusher. And I'm proven out to be right

201
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: on that one. But I remember, we agree but that's good.

202
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: I can patch on the back. No. No, well, I

203
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: get enough heat on Twitter sometimes about about guys who

204
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: you know don't work out very well. So I'm gonna

205
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: take credit for the guys that we do hit. That's fair. Um.

206
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things I wann talking about from

207
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: last week's game, but I'm sure Cahlra or two will

208
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: bring off something that'll get me annoyed. And I have

209
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: some numbers I wanna throw at you. But let's go

210
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Bears offense now, Paul, and I said this year, all

211
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: in the week I watched four games with the Bears,

212
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: three with Dravitsky, one with the one with Daniel Because

213
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: obviously there's a very low sample size there. Um, And

214
00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen an offense that is not dependent on

215
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback as much as the Bears offense. They they

216
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: they just scheme everything missdirection, quick passes to the wide receivers, screens, crosses,

217
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: they scheme guys open with pick plays, you know, that

218
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: sort of thing where they don't ask their quarterback to

219
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: make these great reads, anticipatory passes where he's you know,

220
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: threated the needle. That's not what they're asking the quarterback

221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: they do the rest in the quarterback to manage the game.

222
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: Run a little bit, which they will ask Daniel to

223
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: do less than tu Bitsky, but he'll have to run

224
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: a little bit too and manage the game. And they

225
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: hope they run it well on first and second now,

226
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: which they haven't the last few weeks. They've struggled with

227
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: that area their game. And they have some pretty good

228
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: playmakers outside. I think their playmakers are actually underrated. Robinson's

229
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: a tall guy, Taylor Gabriel is only five nine, but

230
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: he is explosive as heck, and Anthony Miller is a

231
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: very good all around wide receiver. You know, I was

232
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: a big fan is coming out of college, and they

233
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: have good weapons. But it's not about the quarterback, which

234
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: is just something in today's NFL where everything seems to

235
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: be about the quarterback. Nothing the Bears do is about

236
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Well, in some ways, they're reminiscent and a

237
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: throwback to what the two thousand Baltimore Ravens did. They

238
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: rely on a very sound defense, although that Ravens defense

239
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: certainly one of the best of the last thirty years

240
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: and they did have superstars, but the philosophy still holds

241
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Trent Dilford was a game manager. He relied on Jamal

242
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: Lewis to just run the ball. Didn't do a whole

243
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: lot else, okay, And they controlled They controlled the clock,

244
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: they controlled the ball. They didn't take any chances, they

245
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't give the ball away. They got a ton of takeaways.

246
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: Their defense was very stout against the run. The philosophy

247
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: of the two thousand Ravens has shown up with this

248
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: year's Chicago Bears. The Bears passed a little bit more

249
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: than the Ravens did a little bit. Again, they are

250
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Jamal Lewis, who ran for two thousand yards that season. Now,

251
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Cohen as o V just told us in the locker

252
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: room a short time ago. They gave him basically Sprawls

253
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: his playbook. He is their version of Darren Sprawls. He's

254
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a short, little smurf who's got tremendous quicks, lightning bug

255
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: type of quicks and gives people a lot of issues

256
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: because he'll line up anywhere and he can do anything

257
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: with the ball once he gets it. And part of

258
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: the problem is you can't find him. Yeah, he hides

259
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: behind al Golatri said that the other day, where he

260
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: kind of just pops up from behind the offensive lineing, oh,

261
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: there he is. He's only five too late. He's gone exactly.

262
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: And he's a guy that's as much of a receiver

263
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: as he's a runner. Like you just said, Jordan Howards

264
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: there in between the tackles. Guy. They don't pound him,

265
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: though they'll use him occasionally. I still think he's a

266
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: pretty good back. He hits the hole, he runs through people.

267
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: I think he's a good solid between the tackles running back.

268
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: But he's not a huge feature part of their offense.

269
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: So we should mention their tight end, Trey Burton, because

270
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: you know the Giants have trouble with tight ends. Eagle

271
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: former Eagle. Correct, he was the guy with Zach Ertz

272
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: last year and then when the Super Bowl he was gone,

273
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: got his got his money. Good for him, and they

274
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: will rarely have him on the line. They want him

275
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: split out wide and they'll use him as a receiver

276
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: an awful lot. He's got five touchdown passes, you know,

277
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Todd for the team lead. The thing about Howard, Howard

278
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: is a fundamental runner who will make you pay when

279
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: you miss tackles. He's not gonna bowl you over necessarily.

280
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get a lot of yardage that's not there, uh,

281
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: or make stuff on his own. But if you're not

282
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: sound defensively and you don't square up on him and

283
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: make the right hit, you will pay for it. He's

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: he's kind of like a rich man. He's like remember

285
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: and Alfred Morris was good the first couple of years

286
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, that's kind of what he is. Yeah,

287
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: he'll make you. He'll make you pay for your mistakes.

288
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: It's just that simple, and not every running back does

289
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I mean, that's that's part of the problem

290
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: in this league, with the quicksand of mediocrity. I want

291
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: to add one other thing about about the Bears, though, please,

292
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez told me, and I think it's important to

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: note because it goes into the overall philosophy of what

294
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: they do. Will said, you see it on tape. They

295
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: stress on their defense much more of the takeaway factor

296
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: than other teams do. It's no coincidence that they are

297
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: plus fourteen and turnover ratio tied for tops in the league.

298
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: They've got the twenty picks, they got a bunch of

299
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: forced fumbles, he said. Every team obviously wants takeaways. Every

300
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: team goes for a strip, every team wants an interception,

301
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: he said, But you could see by watching on the film.

302
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: For these guys, it is absolutely their top priority, which

303
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: should not surprise us given the results. No, it shouldn't. Um,

304
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: it really shouldn't. And they're that good, I think for

305
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: the Giants, and I'll give you my couple of keys

306
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: here real quick before we get to your calls at

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: two o one three to meet Paul, and I'll go both.

308
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: I'll go one side of the ball first, then we'll

309
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: switch offensively for the Giants. First, you can't turn the

310
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: ball over. Okay, you can't remember the Giants have only

311
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: their only wins this year. Folks, if coming games where

312
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: they're plus two or better turnover ratio, and that's what

313
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do. They're not talented enough team

314
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: to not win the turnover battle and win games. It's

315
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna be very hard for them. It's just the way

316
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: it is. So you can't. You gotta protect the football

317
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: the Bears take it away. You gotta run the ball

318
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: well on first and second down. I know it's hard.

319
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: I know They're run. Defense is good third and long

320
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: against his Bears team is a turnover witting to Hatch

321
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: is right, it's a turnover waiting to happen. So to

322
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: me offensively, those are the two things at minimum you

323
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: have to do that. You can do those two things

324
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: and still lose, but if you want a chance to win,

325
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: you gotta do those two things. Boy. Coach Shermer uh

326
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: said something earlier today that plugs right into what you said.

327
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: And I wasn't out there because I was I was

328
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: waiting for him to come in into the radio spots.

329
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: So what do you say? He said, Hey, maybe we

330
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: do a little CFL. There's nothing wrong with getting first

331
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: downs on first and second down so that you don't

332
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: have to get the third down and worry about it.

333
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: And he's actually very right. Bears are only given up

334
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: on third down in terms of conversions, which is fourth

335
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: best in the league. Okay, so in this particular case,

336
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: he was laughing, but he was telling the truth. He said,

337
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, there's no rule in the NFL that says

338
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: you can avoid third down by getting the first down

339
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: on second down. And the other thing to Paul, they

340
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: do not give a big place. They make you have

341
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: long sustained drives in order to score their points. And

342
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: that's what they have to do. I'll give you a

343
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: couple of numbers here. They've allowed only three runs of

344
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: twenty yards or more. Only two teams have allowed fewer.

345
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: They've only allowed twenty eight passes of twenty yards or more,

346
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: second few us in the league on passes that travel

347
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: twenty or more yards in the air. Opposing teams have

348
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: a sixties six pass a rady against them. So you're

349
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to sustain drives and that's why they get takeaways.

350
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: They say, look, we believe if you make if we're

351
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: gonna make you run eight to ten plays to score,

352
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: we have confidence that in one of those ten plays,

353
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: our defense is gonna figure out way to get the football.

354
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: And that's how they play and it's been working. So

355
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: why should they get away from it? No, why would

356
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: they all right now? Defensively for the Giants to meet Paul,

357
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: this is all about discipline. Fans, if you're a college

358
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: football fan, you're gonna see a lot of stuff in

359
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: this game that's remind you of college a ball. You're

360
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna see a ton of you know, fake end the rounds, misdirection,

361
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: quick screens. They stretched to fuel horizontally the Giants linebackers,

362
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: especially point I'll phil Curtis Riley the free safety and

363
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: Landing Collins of strong safety in the mix too. They

364
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: gotta be disciplined, they gotta read things properly, trust their eyes,

365
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: not over committing, get themselves out of position because that's

366
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: how the Bears get big plays if the opposing defense

367
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: falls for a lot of that pre snap motion stuff.

368
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: And then two, you gotta stop throwing because if the

369
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Bears in thurn and long, that's not where they want

370
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: to be either. They don't want to be in third thine.

371
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: That's especially with their backup quarterback. They're gonna struggle that way.

372
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: So to me, those are the two keys for me

373
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: for the Giants defense. Yeah, um, I think besides filling

374
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: the gaps, which James Betcher was saying the other day

375
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: that he thinks part of the issue has been for

376
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: the Giants defense that that guys are pressing, uh that

377
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're getting intense, they're getting all nervous and

378
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: and and like at the end of the game last week,

379
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: he believed that on that last drive when Philly ran

380
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the ball five times, he said, you know, guys will

381
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: missing the gaps because again they were trying to do

382
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: too much. They just have to stick to the fundamentals,

383
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: stick with what they were supposed to do. Look, I

384
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I'm not in their heads. I

385
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: can't tell you what a guy feels in his gut

386
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: when he's out there on the field in that particular moment,

387
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: when what he's doing, it's impossible. His his assumption, though,

388
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: is that guys are pressing and that and that they're

389
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: they're getting lost in their fundamentals because they're trying too

390
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: hard to just go make a play. Well, if you

391
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: do that against the Bears, you're playing into their hands

392
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: because they're not going to gouge you and gouge you

393
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: and gouge you. They're gonna wait for you to screw

394
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: up and give them free yardage. And we see it

395
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: the way they play in The Chiefs play the same way.

396
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: They just keep running these vertical routes and eventually they

397
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: figure they're not going to cover one of the guys

398
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a big play. And the Bears

399
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: do the same type of thing. So, um, that's Number

400
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: one for me is guys just stick to the basics,

401
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: don't do too much, just go fill the gaps. Do

402
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: the play is like they're drawn up and you give

403
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: yourself a chance. Number two And John, how many years

404
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: have I been talking about this? I mentioned this to

405
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: Lance yesterday. I stopped keeping track of miss tackles a

406
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: few years ago. There were just too many. They're just

407
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: too many in this league on a week to week basis.

408
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: It used to be if a team had six or

409
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: seven miss tackles, you you had a pretty good idea

410
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: that they were in that game or won the game.

411
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Excuse me, you have those in a half now that's

412
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: my point. That's my point, and and you know it

413
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: would be Oh, let's see, this team lost six games

414
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: this year. All right, let's take a look at their

415
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: miss tackles fourteen, sixteen, twelve eleven. When you saw double

416
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: ditchits and miss tackles, there was a really good chance

417
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: that that team lost the game. It was almost like turnovers, John,

418
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: That's how critical that stat used to be. But now

419
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: in the NFL the number is usually always going to

420
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: be a high number because guys just forgot how to tackle. Okay,

421
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: so what the Bears didn't forget how to tackle? They

422
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: still do it. And the Giants Ford not to do

423
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: it this week. All right, let's get to the calls,

424
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: the two, one, five, one three. We want to remind

425
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: you that Big Bow Kick Off Live is presented by

Speaker 1: Corps Light. Download the Coors Light rewards app to an

427
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: amazing Giants prizes throughout the season. All right, let's do it, folks.

428
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: Antonio in Manhattan will lead us off today. What's up, Antonio? Hey?

429
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: What's going on? John? What's going on? Paul's Um, I'm

430
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: excited about this game against the Bears. Uh. I love

431
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: seeing good defenses, so I'm excited. Hopefully, you know, we'll

432
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: be able to I'm stay in the game and make competitive.

433
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you guys a little bit

434
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: about some observations that I did. I know that UM,

435
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: Paul mentioned that, you know, there's nothing that jumps out

436
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: in terms of fat from Khalil mag but you know,

437
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: you guys did mention this. But he does get double team,

438
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: he does get triple team very often, and it does

439
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: free up other players, I mean, the team, and that's

440
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: why the teams were really good. He is demanding a

441
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: lot of attention, UM, and that's something that you know,

442
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: we gotta see how we're gonna address this as a giant,

443
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: and I just want to see you know how many

444
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: times you're gonna be double teaming and triple team Khalil Matt.

445
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure Antonio, especially when he's lined up over Chad Wheeler,

446
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: you will see his head end there running back over there, chipping.

447
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: I promise you that I would guarantee that as well. Uh,

448
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: go back and look at the Patriots game. Okay, do

449
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: please do that if you have an opportunity on game pass.

450
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: Look what the Patriots did to him. Do you know

451
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: what Khalil Mack did in that game? They gave her

452
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: of the ball, so they do they do? Uh. Bill Belichick,

453
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: who somewhat laughingly said, don't compare him to LT because

454
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: he's not, and of course he's not. Khalil Mack in

455
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: that game finished with zero quarterback hits, zero quarterback sacks,

456
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: zero solo tackles. By the time the game was over,

457
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: he had fifty four snaps under his belt and he

458
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: had one assisted tackle. Can you say invisible man? Um?

459
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: Belichick schemed him and absolutely took him out of that game.

460
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, the real great ones, they don't

461
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: get taken out of a game. I agree with that.

462
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, but I still think that he's extremely valuable

463
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: with the fact that he's just you know, double team,

464
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: triple team. That's good enough if you if other players,

465
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: if the other guys can't make something happen, because that

466
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: that's more on them than no one Antonio, no one

467
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: will argue, trust me, Mac has a great impact on

468
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: the game. No one would argue that what with the

469
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: biggest defense does that's amazing. It's just like Paul you

470
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: just mentioned right now, they don't miss tackles. Man, these

471
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: guys are solid at tackling, and the world Quants missed.

472
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: This guy could go from left to I mean, like

473
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: that's what it's amazing. Like, you know, people just disregard

474
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: taking a linebacker high um in the draft, but this

475
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: is what they do. They just change the defenses and

476
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: they have a lot of game changers on defense. And

477
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: yeah it might not be again in the stats, it

478
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: might not be on the turnovers, but it's crazy how

479
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: these guys are doing it. What I want to see

480
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 1: Giants do is just run screens through all plays. We

481
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: need to we need to stop the speed of this

482
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: of this offense of the defense, and then hopefully we'll

483
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: stop them. And on offense, you guys mentioned it, they've

484
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: wren a lot of motion. It's it's like this Coyle Shanahan,

485
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: this Kansas City um, the Kansas City offense. I guess

486
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: it's like the new NFL, where every coach wants to

487
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: show whether it's man or zone or who's blitzing. So

488
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: they're having a motion in every place. Paul, what do

489
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: you think about that? How like? And now in the

490
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: new NFL, it's just pretty much motion in every place.

491
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. There's no question there's a

492
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of that. And and the problem for me is

493
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: that I don't think enough defenses. Thank you, Antonia, we

494
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: gotta run appreciate. I don't think enough defenses and I

495
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: do think the Giants have been guilty of this quite frankly.

496
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: There are not enough defenses that are showing one thing

497
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: and then do another. And you can you can do

498
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: a better job of disguising your man into a zone

499
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: if you want to during the course of a play,

500
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: or even single behind the too high and things like that. Know,

501
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and I think too many defenses nowadays are intimidated by

502
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: offenses who were doing so much gobbling book and pre

503
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: snap motion and everything else they can throw at you.

504
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: That there are too many defenses nowadays that are pretty

505
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: much just sitting in what they're going to do, and

506
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: they're making themselves easy pickings. It's almost like a duck

507
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: and a barrel. Now do you know why, Paul, And again,

508
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: this is a theory, I'm not saying I know that's true,

509
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to say this in a nice way.

510
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: Even when they're set up where they're supposed to set up,

511
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: some of these defenses have so much stru trouble and

512
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: issues doing what they're supposed to do and coach to do.

513
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't think the coaches are comfortable to say, well,

514
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: show this, then do this when they can't even just

515
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: do to do this part? When when when they show

516
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: what they're supposed to show. So I think, you know,

517
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: James betchet'sy's missed assignments when he sets the guys up

518
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: with us supposed to be what happens when you start

519
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: telling them to fake stuff, Well, I think they're terrified

520
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna turn into just a big playfest because guy's

521
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: gonna be all over the place, you know. And then

522
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: and it said it shouldn't be that way. There was

523
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: some credence to that. And the other problem is with

524
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: the prolifer proliferation of miss tackles in this league. Guess what,

525
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: even if you play it right, who's to say you're

526
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: not gonna have three miss tackles on the play and

527
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: it goes for twelve yards. Fundamentals, Let's go to Landing Columbia, Maryland.

528
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: He's up next. That will lend online them before what's

529
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: going on? Hey guys, hi, well boy, this, uh, these

530
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: two teams go back a long way. There have been

531
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: some historic games between these two teams, not recently. You

532
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: gotta go pretty far back to find him. But I

533
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: don't think this one on Sunday is gonna be historic.

534
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: Paul Paul is there for all of them, by the way,

535
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I mean, holy cow, the Chicago Bears.

536
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: It should be fun. That would be fun. Um. You know,

537
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: I kind of got caught up in in the comment

538
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: by coach Shermer. Paul, you talked about it, And I'm

539
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: not a psychologist either, and I know you would be

540
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: fuddled by sometimes by what goes on in the player's head.

541
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: If you remember the reference just a couple of minutes

542
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: ago from Coastumer. You know, just a quick just a

543
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: quick story. I got a little different take on it.

544
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: But thirty five years ago, I'm coaching a girl's softball team,

545
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: pretty high level of play, sixteen and under group. I'm

546
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: winning the championship game three two, one out. My picture

547
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: walks the next two batters. I decided it's time for

548
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: a conference, so I called my catcher out and keep

549
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: the other players in place. It's the catcher being the picture.

550
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: The catcher gets to the pictures mount and looks at

551
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: the picture and says, we're not going to lose this game.

552
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: Just remember that. The picture turns to me for insight.

553
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: The only thing I can think to say was, listen

554
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: to your catcher, see that lane. I thought you gotta

555
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: pull a bull dorm and talk about the silverna. I

556
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: didn't have any big speech the catcher said at all.

557
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Back to Sherman, Back to Sherman's comments. You know, I

558
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: think I got a little different take on it. I

559
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: think I think they're looking around for somebody else to

560
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: make the play while they're looking for a drop a

561
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: mistake by the other team. You know, you don't find

562
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: it many players, But man, you gotta wanna win. I'm

563
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna I want to throw another theory. Maybe there just

564
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: aren't enough really good players that are good at making

565
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of plays. Oh, there you go, God, you

566
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: gotta get to the bottom line. N you got a

567
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: bottom line? Hey, listen, we haven't talked enough about the

568
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: great Bears quarterback that we're going to see on Sunday,

569
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: Daniel Chase. Oh my goodness. Do you know I think

570
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: he's played like on six teams for ten years. He's

571
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: probably made ten million dollar. You know what's funny, he

572
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: hasn't thrown a hundred passes in this funny well, one

573
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: of the guys in Pro Football Focus put this out

574
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: there on Wednesday. He was having with it Sam Mons

575
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: and one of our guys, and he figured out how

576
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: much money he's made per pass thrown in the league.

577
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: And he couldn't find any other quarterback that had made

578
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: more money per pass thrown than Chase. Daniel that you know,

579
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: you said it perfectly. I mean, I don't think the

580
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: guys throwing a hundred passes in his career barely. He

581
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: threw one third of those on less Thursday against Alliance.

582
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: Hey boy, could you imagine if Daniel was playing against

583
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: to a team. I don't care who else is playing

584
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: on this team. We can't lose to a team quarterback

585
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: by Chase Dan but Land it doesn't matter. I'm telling

586
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: you this is not about the quarterback. It's about everything else. Listen,

587
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: keep it, listen, Paul. I'm probably gonna have to eat

588
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: my words on Monday, but let me ask you a question. Paul,

589
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: can Chase Daniel. Can Chase Daniel see over the Syrian

590
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: with I mean the guy, guy is barely six ft talk?

591
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: How about this? I'm not even through a mitrobis Key.

592
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: Is that much better than Chase Daniel? How about that?

593
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm not even listen. You know Trabinsky, you know where

594
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: he threw. He's strolling tender interceptions. But the other thing

595
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: that really got me, man, Man, if I was a player,

596
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: I would really this would really a genus player. This

597
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: would really upset They're resting Trobinsky, holding them out to

598
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Packers in the next two weeks. Glen,

599
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: he also is a throwing shoulder injury. You don't mess

600
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: around with those, you know, I don't know, I don't

601
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: know what makes you want to go there, But that

602
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: is their quote franchise, QB's a c joint injury. That's

603
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: serious and and that's not something you goof with. I mean,

604
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why you think that this is just

605
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: a resting game for him. But here's what I will say. Okay,

606
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: you are sadly mistaken, and I mean sadly mistaken if

607
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: you don't think that the Bears overall formula that they

608
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: use with solid fundamental football, terrific defense, don't make any mistakes,

609
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: don't turn it over, grab takeaways. If you don't think

610
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that all that stuff adds up to winning football, and

611
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: then then I don't know what you've been watching, because

612
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: those things work no matter who's your quarterback. If I'm

613
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: on that defense, Fall, I want to get after Chase

614
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: Daniels and I want to whisper in his ear, where's

615
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: Mitch Trabiski. They're holding the guy. They're holding the guy out.

616
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: What an insult? That's an insult. Fall, Well, then go

617
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: out there and make him pay for it. And I'm

618
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna make him. Hey listen, if they late may, I'd

619
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: make a play. Um, you know, you know, just just

620
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of guys on the Bears defense. Buckle

621
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: your change strap. Um, I forget Pulley's first name, but

622
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: Spencer buckle, your chine trap. That that that guy Goldman

623
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: then those tackles a pretty good play. You know, he's

624
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: not the best, but he's pretty good. If he reeks

625
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: Havoc in the middle, we really are in trouble. And

626
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: the other guy that intrigues me and I think he

627
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: was going to be a Giant four years ago round five, uh,

628
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: four picks before us, the Bears picked Adrian Amos from

629
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: Penn State to safety. The four picks later, I believe,

630
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: I honestly believe the Giants would have picked Amos at

631
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: that point. Here's the thing, though, lean Amos plays the

632
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: same position as Landing Collins, both plays. That's a very

633
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: good point. It's a very good point. But I think

634
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: they would have gone I think I think they were

635
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: looking for a safety and uh, you know, maybe in

636
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the off season we can talk about this a little bit.

637
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: But how about at a little bit and went jump

638
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: from McHale Thompson. At that point, I think they were

639
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: looking for a safety. I think I think Amos is

640
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: the guy. Hey, listen, let's go Giants, Let's win this game.

641
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Come on, Chase Daniels can't beat us. You're coming up way,

642
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: coming up. Talk to you. Oh yeah, all right, we'll

643
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: see you that, but bring your rein gear. Talk to

644
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: you Monday. They're saying that it might clear up before

645
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: before game times like that like that a lot. Yeah,

646
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: I think the better the weather, the better that is

647
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Right. And by the way, it's funny,

648
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember Paul and two thousand and seventeen. By

649
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: that time, we were like hardcore doing draft stuff. I

650
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: don't remember much about Eddie Jackson. And I know we

651
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: did a hit with an Alabama guy that year bause

652
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: we do one every year. And I know we were

653
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: talking about safety. He was the Giants needed a free safety.

654
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: Wait wait, was that the year after they drafted Darien

655
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: Thompson Of the year they drafted darry and Tyreson Darree

656
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: and Thompson played here for two years, so he was

657
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: so sixteen then he was picked, and that's probably why

658
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: we weren't talking about a free safety because he was

659
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: coming off his first year. He was hurt, and that's

660
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: probably why we weren't talking about free scenes. His boy,

661
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: he was a fourth round pick and he's good holy cow. Yeah,

662
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: he is good and he makes plays. I mean, look,

663
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: here's the bottom line, Land, and I appreciate it. I

664
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: know what you're saying, Chase Daniel doesn't exactly inspire bells

665
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: whistles at the position. But my goodness, this is just

666
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: such a fundamentally sound team. And and look, I'm gonna

667
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: tell you what. The formula is good. The fundamentals are good,

668
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the execution is good. They're not the most spectacular eight

669
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: and three team you're gonna find, without question, but they win.

670
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: They win the old school way. Yeah. And in fact,

671
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: if you want to tell me they're the least impressive

672
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: eight and three team you're gonna find, guess what. That's

673
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: okay too, because they want what they got eight wins.

674
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: You must love the you want. I mean, this is

675
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: the this is the football team you want, Paul. I mean,

676
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: this is it, right. I mean the Bears, the way

677
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: they play, this is Paul the Tino football in a

678
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: lot of ways. Yes, I mean them to run the

679
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: ball a little bit better, maybe, but it's like I'd

680
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: like to see more of a power run. They protect,

681
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: Their tackles are good, and I would and I would

682
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: like to see them attack a little bit more downfield.

683
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: I buy, I buy both. But they are very very

684
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: close in a lot of ways. They check a lot

685
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: of my boxes. I know they do. I thought I

686
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: was watching them, like what love this? Alright, let's go

687
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: to Scott in New Mexico. He's up next. They's got buddy.

688
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: I have a slight disagreement with you, Paul I. I

689
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: don't think the Bears would be nearly as good defensively

690
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: if they didn't have Khalil Mack on their team. And

691
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,479
Speaker 1: he's he's been hurt. I think he missed a couple

692
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: of games he injury. He's played nine games. It's got

693
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: he missed one. He tried to play through an ankle

694
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: injury a little bit, and that did I think limit

695
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: his production a bit. He only missed one game with

696
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: the ankle, though he's played nine games, and his five

697
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: force fumbles are certainly important to them. And he has Yeah,

698
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: he has made some impact plays. I don't want to

699
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 1: ignore them. They showed up on Sports Center, they showed

700
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: up on NFL Network. He has made some impact plays.

701
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: He's a very good player. He's certainly a Pro Bowl

702
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: caliber player. But when we start talking about elite and

703
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: dominant players that Lawrence Taylor thing annoyed. The hell really does?

704
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: I am so happy said, there's nobody can compare, right,

705
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: that's right, that you know, And and and one notch

706
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: below would be Ricky Jackson. Ricky Ricky Jackson was the

707
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: closest thing on this planet to LT and he was

708
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: not not at all. Derrick Thomas was a one dimensional

709
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I was talking as a pass rusher obviously

710
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: not all around. Yeah, but when you when you talk

711
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: about the premier guys, you know, Andre Tippett even belongs

712
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: on that second shelf behind ones because he did everything.

713
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm spoiled, man. I I lived through the

714
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: Golden ERAa and I saw some of the greats and greats. Well,

715
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: I have a question though, Uh, I haven to agree

716
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: with John. I think uh came hicks is is. UH

717
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: can be a very disturbing type of player. But on

718
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: the converse side, can the Giants realistically win this game

719
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: unless they can mount to pass rush? Because I'm a

720
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: little concerned. I mean Olivia Vernon, for example, I think,

721
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, only has one sect for the Seals, right,

722
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: that's true, and only a couple of hits. I think

723
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: he has more penalties than quarterback hits at this point.

724
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: So so how did the Giants over come this? How

725
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: are they going to blitz more? Do you think, Scott?

726
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. You can't blitz the Bears. They get

727
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: rid of the ball too quick. They their quarterback doesn't

728
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: hold the ball like just go back last night to

729
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Saints game. The Cowboys blitz a little bit,

730
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: but they knew that Drew Brees gets rid of the

731
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: ball so quickly. You got to get there with four

732
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: and cover. And I just think, I look, I get it.

733
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: You want to put pressure in Daniel's face. He's not

734
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: tall guy, But I'm telling you they run so much scheme,

735
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: quick action. He's not sitting back there holding the ball out.

736
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: He's just not You don't you know what the one

737
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: number that and John alluded to it earlier in the program.

738
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: And I don't even think you you realize that you

739
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: were doing it? Not? Probably not. It's the one thing

740
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: that you said. What do the Giants have to do

741
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: to have a chance. It's not even sacked the quarterback.

742
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't care if they have zero sacks on the quarterback.

743
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: They've got to win the turnover battle. Plus two is

744
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: a great number. John mentioned it before, and really that

745
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: is the most port number in this game for the Giants.

746
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: Number one. And so far as the offense, are they

747
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: going to change schemes against the Bear because the Bears

748
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: have obviously the best, one of the best defenses in

749
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. That Scott, here's the thing. They'll have different plays.

750
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: I know you talked about maybe and a rounds and

751
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: so forth, but well we have to be even more

752
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: dramatic and targeting, say Odell a little bit more, okay, Scott.

753
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: If anything, the Bears are so fundamentally sound. I think

754
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: you can't try to out trick them. You can't try

755
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: to get clever. You gotta figure out what you do

756
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: best and execute that as well as you can. It's

757
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: your only shot. If you try to get out of character,

758
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get killed, and they're gonna get picks

759
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: and they're gonna murder you. It's Gott, thanks for the call.

760
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, appreciate And I think one thing that's

761
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: been and this will kind of go into my rant

762
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: about what's been going on the last week or so

763
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: in terms of how people have analyzed this team, guys,

764
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: the reason the Giants have turned this season around offensively,

765
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that lightly. They've scored twenty seven,

766
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: thirty eight, and twenty two points in the last three weeks.

767
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: If you guys to go back and remember how feudal

768
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: this Giant's offense was, that's a feat. It's a feat.

769
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: And now they might not look impressive from all these

770
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: other teams scoring at jillion points, but for what this

771
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: team has been in the last year and a half,

772
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: that might be their best stretch of three games that

773
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: they've had. Tell these people the two reasons why, the

774
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: reason it's worked too, and I'm and I want and

775
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: I want to give him a copy here too, because

776
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: with all these weapons, you want to stretch. You want

777
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: to spread it out. That's your instinct. You want to

778
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: get everybody involved, right and I think ideally to win

779
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL, now, that is the correct way to play.

780
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: But the way this team is structured, with the struggles

781
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: that they have protecting the passer, the Giants can't win

782
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: that way. If the Giants pass it forty times in

783
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: a game, they're probably going to lose. It's just not

784
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: the way they can win. So what has the coaching

785
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: staff done since the bye week. They've done some smart stuff.

786
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: They've used the fullback a lot more and play twenty

787
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: one personnel. They have used twelve personnel with two tight

788
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: ends a lot more. They have much fewer possessions where

789
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: they run eleven personnel. They hardly ever run straight dropbacks.

790
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: Everything's play action, everything's a rollout. He lies under center

791
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot more. He's not in shotgun as much. That's

792
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: how the Giants have to play to win, and that

793
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: might mean fewer touches for their wide receivers, it might

794
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: mean fewer points, but that's how they're going to win.

795
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: They cannot win playing the other way the way it's

796
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: constituted right now, especially on the offensive line. Now, you

797
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: can fix things in the off season, so you can

798
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: be a little bit more aggressive, spread it out more,

799
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: and trust your offensive line more. That's great. In order

800
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: to win. Now, that's not how you can play. You

801
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: gotta run the two tight ends. You gotta run the fullback,

802
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: you gotta run the ball on early downs. You've gotta

803
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: run play action. If you're sitting back there and dropping back,

804
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: go in a shotgun and doing five steps and seven

805
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: step drops and throwing up forty times, you're going to lose, period.

806
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: I concur and I think that there are two things

807
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: that they've done better which lead to every single thing

808
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned. One is much better play on

809
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: the offensive line, without question. Pat Sherberg just said it

810
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: this morning an hour ago. Best three games the offensive

811
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: lines played all years and again they've played better, but

812
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: the coaching staff has put them in situations where they

813
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: can succeed. If you took the scoop and you made

814
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: them pass protect forty times in shotgun, I think they'd

815
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: struggled to okay, but it goes hand in hand. Absolutely

816
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: played better. The coaches like what they've seen, so they're

817
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: doing different things to enhance their a bit with you

818
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 1: to play back, and I think that I think it's

819
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: vice verse of the relationship, no doubt. So that's number

820
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: one with you. Number two field position because of Corey

821
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: Coleman on his kickoff returns. He's been a by on

822
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: the bear struggle on kick returns, so that could be

823
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: area with the Giants gonna to win this game. Field

824
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: position has been much better over the last few weeks,

825
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: and field position helps dictate the chapters that you will

826
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: use in your playbook, and how they got also helped

827
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: takeaways against the Bucks, defensive touchdown against the Bucks, they

828
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: gotta turn over and had them one side the twenty

829
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: against the forty niners. You know they dig down to

830
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: the coreity Earth. And those are your two reasons why

831
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: all of these other things have been made possible. Let's

832
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: see if they can keep it going. And this will

833
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: bring me and Charlie and coach more. When I see there,

834
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: I'll get to I promise. I made the mistake row

835
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: in the week of posting something on Twitter and then

836
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: I engaged people on it, which is always a terrible mistake.

837
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: But I was just so annoyed that, by the way,

838
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: and I didn't see see you in anything on the

839
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: Twitter line. I was like included on every single one

840
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: of those. Screen after screen after screen I stayed totally

841
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: away from It wasn't me. Somebody else put you on there.

842
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't me. Anyway, the point I made and I

843
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: stand by this, and it all goes back. Do's something

844
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 1: Brian Baldinger tweeted, And Baldinger is great. He watches tape,

845
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: he knows his stuff. Isn't he gonna be there this week.

846
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't know is he I think he's doing the

847
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: national radio feed. Okay, he's not doing TV because it's

848
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: it's Burkhard and Charles Davis, and I saw both of

849
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: them here today. I hang out with them. Like happen.

850
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have Balding and Carino on the national rading

851
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: could be I have no idea. And Baldinger does a

852
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: great job with his film analysis, but he puts something

853
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: up on Twitter earlier this week that was so off base.

854
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: And again, I love Brian Baldinger, so I'm not questioning

855
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: his ability to analyze the game or Noah's stuff. He

856
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: puts something up that was so off base that it

857
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: drove a fan base nuts his point, it was inexcusable

858
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: for the New York Football Giants on their first thirty

859
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: nine plays to target all over Beckham just three times.

860
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: Hold on a second. The Giants in the first half

861
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: scored on their first four possessions. They had nineteen points.

862
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: They would have had twenty two if not for that

863
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: finally line Manning interception when he was targeting out how

864
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: that come Jr. They're on pace to score forty. Just

865
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: to put a little exclamation point on this the NFL

866
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: only started tracking yardage amounts per half back. Let me

867
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: ask some Paul, how many times that the Giants have

868
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: more yards in any half of any game than they

869
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: had against the Eagles in the first half last week

870
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: since they started keeping the track of that staff? Wow?

871
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: I bet you, I bet you, it's probably no more

872
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: than five or six? Was it really zero? Most yards

873
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: and a half in Giants franchise history? Well since the tracking,

874
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: but that's as far back as we go, and and

875
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: before it wasn't in an offense league. So my guess

876
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: is that it probably don't happen before either, wouldn't shock

877
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: me off like he probably could have done it. Whatever

878
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: the case might be. It just shows you how we're

879
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: diculous that yards number was. Here's the second stat every

880
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: NFL team, it's every half of football since Where do

881
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: you think that Giants have ranked in total yardage? You're

882
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: probably gonna tell me it's in the top ten, But

883
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: still that's thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of game.

884
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: They had the fiftie best half of offensive football yardage

885
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: wise in the last twenty eight years. And then you

886
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: go on Twitter and you say they should have targeted

887
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: Odell beckhamore. That might be the dumbest freaking thing I

888
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: have ever heard. They game three on page for seven

889
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:51,959
Speaker 1: hundred yards of offense. Why would you change anything? Come

890
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: on enough if you want to get him on him

891
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: in the second half when they had fifty four yards

892
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: go ahead, fair game, have fun. They gained three hundred

893
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: fifty yards of fence and a half and you're mad

894
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: they didn't throw the ball to a specific guy more.

895
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: That's the goal is to move the ball at score points.

896
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: That's what they did. Dead news. They showed their entire

897
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: hand in the first half of the Eagles adjusted. But

898
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, and this idea that Barkley and

899
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: Beckham haven't gotten the football enough this year is a joke.

900
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: They showed the set on Thursday Night Football last night.

901
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: Did you know in terms of percent of teams is

902
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: total scrimmage yards this year? Do you know where sat

903
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley lands third? Third? Ye only two players have

904
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: more yards of scrimmage yards from scrimmage and Sae kwon Barkley,

905
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley, Odell Beckham fourth in the

906
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: NFL and targets. Okay, a thing catches and he's only

907
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: five catches back of the player in fifth place. He's

908
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: on pace for just on their fifteen hundred yards receiving.

909
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: How many yards do you want him to get? Do

910
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: you just want Barkley and Beckham to touch the ball

911
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: on every play? Do you not want anyone else to participate?

912
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: Do you want Shepherd not to catch it? Evan Ingram

913
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: has done nothing this year? I guess you're okay with that, right?

914
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: Are you happy that? I mean, come on, people, people

915
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. They do not lie. Okay. The

916
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: reason the Giants have had issues this year has nothing

917
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that they're not getting at

918
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: to Beckham and Barkley. They have it in their hands plenty.

919
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: Barkley is on pace for three hundred and fifty touches

920
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: this year. What do you want that four hundred? You

921
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna kill the poor k in his rookie year. He's

922
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna really carry him out on a stretcher in January

923
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: with four touches And now you know, come on, I

924
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: ignored that entire thread because it wasn't worth getting upset about.

925
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm still annoyed. He needs to calm down. I mean

926
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. And again the second half

927
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: last week they were terrible fifty yards of offense. I

928
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: get it, fine, go after him, but that was one

929
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: of the best first halves of football I've ever seen

930
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: this team playoffensively. That's how good it was. He threw

931
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: it the eight different guys. If it wasn't for a

932
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: non call on Malcolm Jenkins holding Barkley's arms down the

933
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 1: end zone, they could have scored a second time, a

934
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: touchdown instead of a field goal. Yep, I mean, come on, people, cheese.

935
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: And then in the second half, and we went through

936
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: this on Monday, Yeah, Barkley baby should have had the

937
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: ball a little more. Guess what they were in nineteen

938
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: meaningful offensive plays in the first half. Okay, and you

939
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: want to complain a throw with the Beckham, Well, Beckham

940
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: wasn't on the field for three of them. So now

941
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: you're down at the six team So how many times

942
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: you wanted to touch the ball in six team plays?

943
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: He got targeted five times. That's the third of the place.

944
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: Barkley touched at five times, that's another third of the place,

945
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: and you're running out of place. And by the way

946
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: they threw with the Beckham on what should have been

947
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 1: the go ahead touchdown and held except for a penalty

948
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: that never was cold And by the way, did you

949
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: notice what referee crew of the game last night? Oh?

950
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 1: Same one. I don't want to talk about it, same one.

951
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it. Two straight games

952
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: where there was just a plethora of missed calls. Yikes.

953
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: All right, I'm done to I need to do that.

954
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: We want to remind you that Big Blow Kick Gold

955
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: Live is presented by Corps Light I give for a

956
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: little break appreciate. You can download the course Light rewards

957
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: app to an Avasi Giant prises throughout the season. It

958
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: is historic because there were very few shows over the

959
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: course of the years where I could be considered the

960
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: calm one. Just letting you know, folks, it doesn't happen often,

961
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: so you might want to put this one in the archive.

962
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 1: I started, you know, I've had a cold. I finally

963
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: got over and then my voice is cracking him as

964
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 1: I started yelling, Charlie Portland, Maine. Don't get me riled up, Charlie, please,

965
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't And I'm back down now. I'm gonna go

966
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: back to my office and take a freaking nap. Hey,

967
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, you know, you were talking

968
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: about how our offenses running the ball and what we

969
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 1: to do. We can't pass a lot, we have to

970
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 1: run and we have to do what we're doing, you know,

971
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. But that's all predicated on and

972
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: having a defense can actually stop anybody. Because if you

973
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody, you need to score a lot of points, right,

974
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: And that's the trick. That's why that's not the idea

975
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 1: at least maybe this for Paul. This he's Fred flint

976
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 1: Stone over here, and he admits that he loves it.

977
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: For me, that's not the ideal way to play, because

978
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: you're right, when you get behind, you get down. That

979
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: doesn't work, okay, and it becomes problematic. But that's how

980
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: they have to play. They just can't win. I mean,

981
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: we saw them try to win the other way. The

982
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: first eight games of the year. How it go? They

983
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: went one and seven. I know, I know, I look,

984
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: our offense is finally waken out and starting to play,

985
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: and now our defense is fallen asleep into the abyss.

986
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: I mean in the first time, when the first part

987
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: of the season, our offense couldn't do anything couldn't score nothing,

988
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: and our defense was playing well. We just can't get

989
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: these two in sync, you know. And I don't get it.

990
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. But just like last night when

991
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: I didn't think Dallas had a shot of beating beating

992
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: New Orleans, good defense, defense, they shouldn't have beat him

993
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: though it was. But the same thing is going to

994
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: happen against the Bears. We shouldn't even win that game.

995
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: We shouldn't even be close in that game. But I

996
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: think we're gonna beat him. I don't think their defense

997
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be all over us defense, Rolie. Their defense,

998
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: their defense is really really good. Do not this is

999
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: this will be the best defense the Giants have seen

1000
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: all year. Yeah. Well, I would be thrown at Prince

1001
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 1: about every every every time you want to throw the ball,

1002
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: throw it at him, because when he played at Netlife,

1003
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: he was horrible or he wasn't very good, I won't

1004
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: say horrible. So he's their weak link and that's the

1005
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: guy I would be going after. Oh, by the way,

1006
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: the old Giant fans that were mad they trade Elia

1007
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: Apple watched the game last night. I was so glad

1008
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: we got rid of that guy. He was playing just

1009
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: like he played for us. You know he was you know,

1010
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: if they passed the ball every time to whoever he

1011
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: was guarding, and they you know, they got a penalty

1012
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: or you know, and that one that when Dallas overthrew

1013
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: that guy when I mean he should have been a touchdown.

1014
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: He got faked out on that double move. I'm so

1015
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: glad he's gone. God, you know, I look, Charlie knows

1016
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: how he called yesterday. I've already gone through this. Okay,

1017
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: trading Apple trading snacks. That certainly took a hit, a

1018
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: toll on the defense. And there's no question Apple. I'm glad.

1019
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: All jokes aside. I think Apple would still be one

1020
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: of the top three corners on this team if he

1021
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: was here. I mean, come on, let's get real about this.

1022
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: But but you know what, Charlie, honestly, um, I don't

1023
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: think this game is as lopsided as most people do.

1024
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know that the Giants will win the game.

1025
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: But I do believe this is going to be a

1026
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: much more competitive game than than perhaps the pundance would

1027
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: like you to believe. Yeah, I do too, I specially four.

1028
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: I look at it this way. It's either we're gonna

1029
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: win this game, or we're gonna get blown out, like

1030
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a great way to feel, because

1031
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: either it's gonna you know, snowball where Eli gets sacked

1032
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: and he fumbles and you know, and it heck keeps

1033
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: happening and you know what I mean, and everything just

1034
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: goes as zurk and our d dance can't stop, uh

1035
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: you know a postage stamp, you know what I mean,

1036
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: and then it will just you know, roll out of control.

1037
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: Or we're gonna play a really good game and we're

1038
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna beat him. So that's the way I look at it.

1039
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: I just gotta feel we're gonna win this game. I

1040
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: don't know why. We probably shouldn't even be thinking about winning,

1041
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: but I just got a feeling we're gonna win this game.

1042
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: So hope you're right. I hope you're right, buddy. Thanks man, Okay,

1043
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: have a good weekend, guys. Yeah. I just I like

1044
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: the Giants when they match up against teams bad defense

1045
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: is good, offense is better than I like a matchup

1046
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: like this. That's just me. I mean, I worry about

1047
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: the takeaways, man, I just do I know, And you

1048
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: ever right to feel that way. Although the Giants don't

1049
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: give the ball away all that month, no Eli has

1050
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: been aside from the one really bad throughout the end

1051
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: of the first half, he's been very good at it

1052
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: this year. So and by the way, people are just

1053
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: jinx with those numbers. They're trying to put the kiss

1054
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: at death on that port. Let me just as in

1055
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: fumbled by the way that Let's just say this, if

1056
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: the turnover ratio is even, all right, if it's plus two,

1057
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 1: Giants have a chance to win this game. Of course,

1058
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: if it's even, if it's even, I think I think

1059
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: it's it's no more than a one score game. I

1060
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 1: really do know. I agree with that. The problem is

1061
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: that the Bears on average are like plus three this year,

1062
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: and that's the problem, or plus two. That's why I

1063
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: they are plus fourteen, tied for the NFL lead. That's

1064
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: why I believe the turnover number is the most important,

1065
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: not the sack number. It is the turnover number. If

1066
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: the Giants can be even on the turnover battle, I

1067
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: actually believe they could be within one score. And if

1068
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: they've got the ball last, who knows. But but I

1069
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: just I don't think they're going to get blown out. No,

1070
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: I agree. Look the Bears have you know, I think

1071
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: they're plus almost plus a hundred and point differential this

1072
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: year because of the takeaways. People nineteen and they've scored

1073
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: an NFL high hundred and four points. I believe off

1074
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: of takeaways. They're five interceptions returned for touchdowns. There's a

1075
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: reason they're fifth in scoring offense but twenty one in

1076
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: yardage because the takeaways, they don't have to drive the

1077
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: length of the field. All right, Coach Marvin, he's gonna

1078
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: wrap us up. What's up, coach? I'm all right, John,

1079
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: are you okay? I'm good Now I got it out

1080
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: of my system. I feel great. You didn't really have

1081
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: to get into that that stuff with those people. I mean,

1082
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, um, your numbers tells the story. So

1083
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to justify anything because the numbers just

1084
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: what you gave to you. And the only thing the

1085
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: reason they're saying that is because they lost. If they

1086
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: didn't lose, that would need to be the conversation now.

1087
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: But the reason coaches that everyone is everyone always tries

1088
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,919
Speaker 1: to here's the here's the problem. Okay, what fans try

1089
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 1: to do. It is with every sport they try to

1090
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: find the silver bullet that's gonna solve everyone's problems. First

1091
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: it's the head coach, then it's a general manager, then

1092
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: it's the quarterback, then it's the best player. And they

1093
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: try to find the one thing that will solve all

1094
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: their problems. And unfortunately for the Giants, for the Knicks,

1095
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: for the Mets, any team in this air, the Jets,

1096
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: any team in this area that struggled, it's rarely one

1097
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: thing that's the problem. And that's what fans don't like

1098
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: to understand that it might take a little time, here,

1099
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: might be a process. It's not just the silver bullet

1100
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: that's gonna fix everything. In other words, it's never one

1101
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: strand of the Spider way, correct. It is a process.

1102
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: And and again, all of this um from losing. You're losing,

1103
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: and people want to know why you're losing, and they

1104
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: think they know how to fix. It's a lot easier

1105
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: to say, if you throw the ball at a done

1106
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: more your win than to say, oh boy, we have

1107
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: we have to get ten new players on defense. It's

1108
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 1: a lot easier, you know, no doubt. Yeah, yeah, trying

1109
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: to make this quick. My other think before I get

1110
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: in my last part, real quick. Um, I was going

1111
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: to get well, almost forgot one of my neighborhood friends.

1112
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: Um matching up with LT. No one is better than LT.

1113
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: I've been watching LT since he was a SUPs college.

1114
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: But um, one guy that was close to him is

1115
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: a guy I grew up with. Is Andre Tippitt. I

1116
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: mentioned him before, Coach, you did you mentioned to him?

1117
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 1: Mentioned them before my call got through. So I do

1118
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: thank you for Andre for mentioning. I absolutely agree with you.

1119
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: I I really believe Ricky Jackson and Andre Tippett in

1120
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: that order are the only guys who can even be

1121
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: on the same continent. Is Lawrence Taylor right? Because I

1122
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: always if Lawrence Taylor didn't did Andre Tippett would be

1123
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: the name that people would talk about that change. He

1124
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: beat again the a f c S version of Ricky Jackson.

1125
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: Don't slide Ricky. Now you know Ricky's in there. You

1126
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: know what's interesting, coach, you know what's interesting? Though, Ricky

1127
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: Jackson is in the Hall of Fame with Lawrence Andre Tippets.

1128
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: Not because knee injury showed his career. No, no, no, no,

1129
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: did get in. I'm sorry, my bad, my bad, my bad.

1130
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: For a long time, he was ignored though, wasn't he. Um,

1131
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: he got in it. It's been a while now he

1132
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: got in It has to be somewhere like six or

1133
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: seven years ago. Yeah, and he had been retired for

1134
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah yeah, anyways, but thanks for correcting

1135
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: me on that. But no question, my respect for him

1136
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: and Jackson very much high on the on the list.

1137
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Um. So the other thing,

1138
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday, I think it's kind of it's

1139
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of it's gonna be a game based on to

1140
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: the Giants mass match, the physicality, and it's gonna be

1141
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 1: a physical game. That's probably what may be a low

1142
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: seign game because it's going to be based on physicality

1143
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: and I'm a little worried about defense. Um may not

1144
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: be able to stand up to that. But I don't

1145
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: think Chicago is uh is a big play team. I

1146
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: don't find a lot of guys on the sing not

1147
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: offensively but defensively. Yes, defensively, yes, I'm talking on the offensive. Now,

1148
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: you're right about that. You're correct. They actually have some

1149
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: of the fewest number of twenty plus yard players in

1150
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: the league. So on that, you're absolutely right, Coach Morrow.

1151
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: If you get a chance on Sunday when you're watching

1152
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 1: the game and and call us back next week. I'm

1153
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: not going to do it because I just don't do

1154
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: it anymore. And thanks track the miss tackles in the game,

1155
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: and I would bet you, really really good, good, good

1156
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: piece of change that the team with the most miss

1157
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: tackles is going to lose. Now, we're gonna miss Paul

1158
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday because he's been hijacked from us to do

1159
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: this like big time, high paying gig, so he will

1160
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: not be helping us out at the radio stage. So

1161
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna get his factor fiction answers and overrun their

1162
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: answers the day before, make sure he gets in the mix,

1163
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: and then it'll just be Jeff Beiegles is gonna be

1164
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 1: the happiest guy in the worldcause he can talk the

1165
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: whole show. Now, that's true. Um, And we'll of course

1166
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: have our pregame show to eleven thirty on Sunday. If

1167
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: you're at the game, coming down the Midlife Central, we'll

1168
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: be there. Hopefully the rain will have ceased by then,

1169
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: we will see it'll be warm though, so don't bring

1170
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: your winter coach. Just bring a little spring, bring a

1171
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: sweatshirt or something like that. It should be high in

1172
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: the low sixties actually, but you're not. You can bring

1173
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: unused or or gently used coats to the Coach Drive

1174
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: that the giants are having hoodies. I didn't realize that. Yeah,

1175
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: there are two programs. It's the Coach Drive and there's

1176
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: also the Hoodies for Homeless program. Both are going on. Okay,

1177
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: good stuff, and you know, by all means, if you can,

1178
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: it'd be wonderful for you to bring a piece of

1179
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of tech stile to to the game because there were

1180
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 1: people who certainly could use it. And it's getting cold out, folks,

1181
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: so the folks need to be warm. So if you

1182
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: have something next year that you're not using anymore, or

1183
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you've got a gift you don't like it,

1184
01:00:59,920 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: ors it's just wrong size, you want to regift something

1185
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: regifted to somebody that needs it. For Polatino, I'm John Schmilk.
