Speaker 1: by Super Bowl champion wide receiver Almani Tumor and Almani.

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: I certainly think the Giants had a very balanced effort today.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: You know, coach always talks about complimentary football, and every

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: one of the units did something that kind of you know,

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: made them have a chance to win the game. Yeah. Absolutely,

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: When you look at this game, this is a game

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: that the Giants didn't give away. They did everything right

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: to make it hard for an opposing team, uh to

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: come in and beat them. Only one turnover, winning the

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: turnover battle. Those are the things that puts you in

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: the situation. No turnovers, three penalties, you know you're do

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: you your defense, um gets off the for third on

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: third down, gets him off the field, gets an opposing

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: offense off the field. There's a lot of good things

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: that came from today. I'm just you know, when you

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: see it happen, you see them win. Just I'm just

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: like a fan. I want more, right like I saw

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: them when I saw them do it right. But I

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: want I want to see Daniel Jones like come out

27
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: of the show. I want to see him be a

28
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: difference maker on this team. I know he can be,

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: but I want to see it. And I want to

30
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: see the quarterback throwing for a hundred yards with twenty

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: passes are only fifteen completions. I want to see. I

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: just want to see more. Not to say they did

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: a bad job today, but I just feel like there's

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: more in him. And that's that's that's just that's just

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: what my the fan of the being of this team.

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: He just wants to see more. Okay, well, let's start

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: with the offense. The Giants score on the opening drive

38
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: of a game for the first time this season. They

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: take the ball and they go right down the field.

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: Jones goes four or four for fifty yards. It's a

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: seven place seventy our drive and DeVante Booker touched it

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: four times for thirty one yards as the Giants were

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: balanced right from the beginning of the game. Absolutely, and

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: the catch in the throw but by Evan Ingram and Jones,

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: to me, really kind of set the whole tone. Because

46
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: sometimes if you don't score early enough in a football game,

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, the team kind of goes stale and the

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: fans in the crowd don't get into the game. But

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: what happened when you score right away, you get the

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: fans involved and this and then it's a game, and

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: the game's on and everybody's juices are flowing, and it

52
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: just really, I thought, opened up the entire football game.

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Now you talk about Jones and understandably, the Giants were

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: lied a lot on the run. They went with a

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: lot of jumbo package. Uh, Caden Smith got hurt, so

56
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: when they went to three tight ends, they had to

57
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: bring in Cunningham as an extra tackle. I mean, they

58
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: played bully ball, if you will, today, which is something

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: we really haven't seen a lot of here. Yeah, and

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, you you think traditionally the Giants offensive line

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: and you think of him as the patchwork group of guys,

62
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: but they have the guys up there. They can move

63
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: the ball all they can move the the Raiders defensive

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: line around and get under a hundred plus hundred forty

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: some yards rushing today in control the time of possession

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: and just those are the types of things that really

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: make a team hard to beat, especially at home, when

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: they can control the clock, you know, control the time

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: of possession, control the tempo of the game, in the

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: manner in which it's played, and and don't don't make mistakes.

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I keep saying saying over again, but they're

72
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: not making mistakes. That that makes it easy for teams

73
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: to come in and snap, snatch up the crumbs from

74
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: a and get a short field or get a easy

75
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: field goal or momentum change. This was this was a solid,

76
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: solid football game. Interesting thing and that when you talk

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: about a win and you say the quarterback was not

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: spectacular although efficient, the wide receivers not spectacular, but the

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: running game between Davante Booker, who had a career high

80
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: in your audit of just about a hundred, and then

81
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: you look at Alijah Penny. If the Booker gets things

82
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: than the head, Penny comes in and rumbles off a

83
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: couple of ten plus yard runs to try to help

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: them milk some clock at the end of the game.

85
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: He had some really big runs, breaking tackles, and it

86
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: showed really the determination of somebody who wants to be

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: out there playing. And I imagine that when with that

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: kind of effort, you you're probably gonna see Penny get

89
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: more opportunities to make plays, um, you know, especially in

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: the crunch time, because there's not allowed of players that

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: coaches trust with the ball in their hands, uh, in

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: those types of situations. So I'm really happy for him.

93
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy for the team, and I'm just like a

94
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: greedy fan, I want more. I think the interesting part

95
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: for Meyamani is that the run game did what they

96
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: did by doing it ugly. They didn't have a fifty

97
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: yard run like Barkley will break off this one big

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: play and it kind of inflates the numbers at the

99
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: end of the game. That's not what happened here today.

100
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: These were black and blue yards. And not only were

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: they black and blue yards, there was the passing game

102
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: was virtually gone. I mean Gala Day had a couple

103
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: of catches. Um, you know, Sterling's out, of course, you

104
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: know you you you're You're not with the group, the

105
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: original group of guys. Of course, Evan Ingram had some

106
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: some contributions, but there was no receiver with seven catches.

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: There was no receiving with fifty yards. There was some receiver,

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, stretching the field. This was all you know,

109
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: basically in a phone booth type football. And the Giants

110
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: came out on top, which is a good sign to

111
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: let everybody in the everybody respects the Raiders up front,

112
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively. And to see the Giants push

113
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: that this this defensive and offensive front around it just

114
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: lets everybody knows the Giants, Uh, they have something and

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: uh in a physical group, which the Giants are traditionally

116
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: known for. And it's a it's a it's a big

117
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: step forward. But yeah, I want more and I understand that.

118
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the defense for a minute, and we

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: have to start with Jabe McKinney, the safety who had

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Will talk about the the late one later on,

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: but first let's talk about the one at the beginning

122
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: of the third quarter of the pick six for forty

123
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: one yards and that prevented the Raiders from getting the

124
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: double dips scoring at the end of the second quarter

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: and then early in the third without the Giants touching

126
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: the ball. I thought it was a huge, huge play,

127
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: absolutely because I think the Giants, I think they they

128
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: go three and out. I can't remember what it was,

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: but the Giants, it was kind of like a lull

130
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: in the game, and that really injected and got everybody

131
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: going again. And you could just see it in the

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: body language of the team that that was not just

133
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: the pick six, That wasn't just six six points on

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: the board. That was a turning point in this this

135
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: this football game this week. Yeah. Well, actually, if you

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: look at it, Daniel Jones did not touch the ball

137
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: from the middle of the second quarter until approximately five

138
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: and a half minutes left of the third quarter because

139
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: the interception returned by McKinney sandwiched to Home Raiders drives

140
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: at the end of a half when they got a

141
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: field goal and then early third and by the way,

142
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: to hold them to two field goals on those drives

143
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: actually set something too, because if they scored seven on

144
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: either one of those drives, it could be a different

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: game at the end. I remember playing those old Patriots

146
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: teams and you could move the ball all you wanted

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: between the twenties, but once you got inside the twenty.

148
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: The defense just became a lot more sticky. And that's

149
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: kind of what I see when I look at this team,

150
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: kind of the old Patriots way on how you know, yeah,

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: you can move the ball and you get confidence. And

152
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean we even got out the Giants even got out.

153
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: They lost the yardage battle, you know, four hundred for

154
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I think the Giants had around a hundred

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe two hundred and fifty something yards, so you know,

156
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe a hundred almost under two hundred yards. So you know,

157
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: you're seeing that the development of this team, You're seeing

158
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: how they're going to be in the future. I just

159
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: would love to see some more explode so plays on offense,

160
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: being a wide receiver myself, um, just to make it

161
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: more more exciting for me to watch. But you know,

162
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: I never get upset with WS. So McKinney gets a

163
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: second interception of the game with about five and a

164
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: half minutes to go that gives the Giants a short

165
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: field because he's at midfield, and they attack on the

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: field goal to give them the seven point lead, which

167
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: was absolutely huge. Yeah, that was one of the parts

168
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: of the game where I was thinking, if they don't

169
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: score here, Um, you know, settling for the field goal

170
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: might come back and buy them because the fact that

171
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, they had an opportunity to make it a

172
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: two score game, you know, and put it out of

173
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: reach with even a touchdown in a in an extra

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: two point conversion. But they kind of let this team

175
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: lie around, and I think the next level for this

176
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: team not only to have more explosive plays, but to

177
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: stomp teams out and to really, you know, see an

178
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: opportunity that they had there in um there in the

179
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: in the third quarter when they to to win the

180
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: third quarter, to not only get a field goal to

181
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: go up I think they were up one and they

182
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: went up four. In that situation, you go up eight, right,

183
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: you get that touchdown, an extra point, you go up eight,

184
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: and then you really start to put pressure on the

185
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: Raiders and they start to become more one dimensional than

186
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: they were eventually, and we ended up getting out of

187
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity and then kicking a field goal late in

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the next drive. But instead of being up you know,

189
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: double digits, you're only up seven, which is still a

190
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: one possession game. Now, Cars a terrific quarterback. He's had

191
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: a great year, only throwing a handful of interceptions. But

192
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: when you give up a pick six like that on offense,

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: what does that do to the rest of the offensive unit?

194
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's you know, I think most

195
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: of the players believe in car because of the season

196
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: that he's having, it's gonna happen. Like you're gonna have

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that throw interceptions. I remember talking to Phil Sims

198
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: a while ago about quarterback and he's like, you know,

199
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: if you throw too many interceptions, you're gonna be out

200
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: out of the league. But if you throw to too

201
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: little of the few interceptions, that means you're really not

202
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: trying hard enough to get the ball into small windows,

203
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be it's gonna be small windows. So

204
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: I never really get too concerned over, you know, interceptions

205
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: that are balls. The interceptions that you really get bad

206
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: is the one that you really that really bothered me

207
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: are the ones where the guys throwing into the wrong coverage,

208
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: throwing behind the receiver, throwing in an area where it

209
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't be, just getting fooled by the defensive coordinator. Those

210
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: are the ones that just can't happen. Now, the Giants

211
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: have had at least one takeaway in each game, so

212
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: far this season. And you know they say that turnovers

213
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: coming bunches and a lot of times they're lucky, but

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: it does seem like they are in the right place

215
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: at the right time a little too much for that

216
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: to be a coincidence. And the one I see when

217
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I thee is that like that is and they only

218
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: have three wins. It just seems like the offense needs

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: to take advantage of these short the defense has to

220
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: score on the pair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta score.

221
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: You can't get tackle on there. I think the offense

222
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: really needs to take advantage of these short fields and

223
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: these opportunities that they get. They get extra possession of

224
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: extra possession every game that should translate over into points

225
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: and ultimately translate over into w's. Now, I remember when

226
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: you came to the Giant who played some special teams,

227
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: So you have to give some credit to special teams.

228
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Today Raiders have a very good special teams unit, and

229
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the Giants really didn't let them til the field absolutely

230
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: and you know, the Giants had some really good punts

231
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: where they switched the field position um. And you know,

232
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: I like their their coverage or kick coverage. There was

233
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: a couple I think the one right out at the halftime.

234
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned about because it was like

235
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: a thirty two yard return right out of the gate

236
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: and giving the Raiders a short field getting the ball

237
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: off starting the quarter off, at the starting the half off.

238
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Excuse me at I think it was like the thirty

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: five thirty two and then McKinney's pick six and did that. Yeah,

240
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: but you know that's still an opportunity you've given, You're

241
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: given your your The shorter the field, the more percentages

242
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: the percentage of scoring for the offense, the opposing offense

243
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: goes up. All right, we got to go back to

244
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: defense because if we ignored Quincy Rochet's force fumble sack

245
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, recovered by Leonard Williams, who,

246
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is also playing much better the last

247
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: few weeks. Uh, Rochet comes out of nowhere. They claim

248
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: him off waivers from the Steelers at the final cut,

249
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden these last few weeks he's

250
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: starting to make plays. Yeah, I mean, cream rise to

251
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: the top. You know, there's a good player out there,

252
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: and you get an opportunity to play, and this guy's

253
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: obviously taking advantage of his opportunities, and that's what you

254
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: like to see, you out to see a player come

255
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: in and move people around and see how the rest

256
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: of the uh, the room is gonna act. And so

257
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, you get a guy out there being productive,

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: and you know, there's only so many spots on the team,

259
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, and they're you know, the more productive you

260
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: are there, the longer you tend to stay around. The

261
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: defense was dominant against Carolina, albeit not the greatest offense

262
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL, played very well against Kansas City even

263
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: though they came up short, so sprised that Monday night,

264
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: and now today against an explosive Raiders team, another really

265
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: good game. So I think it's safe to say that's

266
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: three in a row where the defense has really put

267
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: something on tape. They really have, and you know, three

268
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: in a row is not a season make, but it

269
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: definitely sets a trend. And when you look at the

270
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: trend of how well this defense is playing, giving this

271
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: offense life in terms of putting points on the board

272
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: today and giving them short fields with all the turnovers

273
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: that they come up with every week, it's just there's

274
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good that's happening and on this in

275
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: this in this team and the fact that, um, you know,

276
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: the only one three games is not where it. Don't

277
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: let the three three wins cloud your vision of what

278
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: this team is becoming. But it is taking It's gonna

279
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: take a while, but they you know, it's looking a

280
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: lot more competitive than even you know, last year and

281
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: year in years past. So um, if they gotta keep building,

282
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: gotta keep getting better. But I think they're headed in

283
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: the right direction. Okay, give me your job. Two priorities

284
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: for this team as they go into the bye week,

285
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: before they come back from the break, What are the

286
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: two things you'd really like to see them do better.

287
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him beit more big place because

288
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, I remember one year we led the league

289
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: in ten play drives, but we didn't need league in

290
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: scoring because it's too hard to have a ten play

291
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: drive and score. Something's gonna go wrong in those ten plays.

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: You gotta have a lot of one play drives, a

293
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: lot of five plate and I want you know, you

294
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: have a lot six play drives. Five play drives. You

295
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: gotta chunk the ball down the field. And I didn't

296
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: see Gola day. I would like to see him get

297
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: more opportunities. I like to see him a little bit,

298
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: do a bit a little better off the line of scrimmage.

299
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: You seemed like he got jammed up a little couple

300
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: of times. But he did make some some some he

301
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: did contribute. But there's some times in the game where

302
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: like you get a guy for a million dollars, this

303
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: is this is what they brought him in for. And

304
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I didn't see the play. I didn't see that today.

305
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: But some injuries. Yeah, you know. I mean, I'm not

306
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not condemning him. I'm just saying what

307
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: I would like to see. I would like to see Goladay.

308
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I like see Evan Ingram keep on progressing. I think

309
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: that was the first touchdown, was a big play for him.

310
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: And I think the offense needs to open up a

311
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: little bit more. Um. It's weird because you want the

312
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: offense to open up, but you don't want to lose

313
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: what you already have. Right, we already have an offense

314
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: that that can win games, but now I want I

315
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: want more, Right So it's just it's like I'm a fan.

316
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: I just I just know what it should look like,

317
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: and I know what it's kind of looking like now,

318
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: but I wanted to look I wanted to slip right,

319
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: I get you the final question. They get a couple

320
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: of weeks off now before they come back and play

321
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay on Prime time down in Buccaneerville in Florida. Um,

322
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: the emotional and mental edge that they gained from going

323
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: into the I all for this very hard fought victory.

324
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Is that really worth something going into that game or

325
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: is it long forgotten about by the time they take

326
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: the field in Tampa It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter,

327
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: it's long forgotten. I think they'll probably enjoy this game,

328
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: look at the film and be like, ah, we won,

329
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: But this wasn't impressive. It wasn't an impressive win in

330
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: terms of, like, it was impressive for us as a

331
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: fan because they put a lot of stuff together, But

332
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, the defense could say, yeah,

333
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: we really did some great stuff, but the offense has

334
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: to be like, man, it was good. I'm glad we won,

335
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: but man, we gotta do better than you want them

336
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: to be greedy, Yeah, they got to be good. If

337
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: you're satisfied as an NFL player, you're done. You're done.

338
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: You're never satisfied. You always want more passes, you always

339
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: want more yards. You always want more, you know, opportunities,

340
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: and if you're not that way, you're not in the league.

341
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: So I think these guys should get a little greedy

342
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: and try to make it look a little bit better.

343
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: And I mean I'd be in bed. I mean, honestly,

344
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: if I'm Daniel Jones and I have a hundred ten

345
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: yards passing, I mean, look, he had to do what

346
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: he had to do, but it's still a hundred and

347
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: ten yards passing. I mean, let's call it what it is.

348
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he had a bad game, because he didn't,

349
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: but it's und yards. You want highlights on sports Cutter,
