WEBVTT - NY Giants Preview

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Discount. Let's talk about the New York Giants here. Okay.

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I first of all, I love this defense. I love

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>this defense. They go three cornerbacks deep. I love them

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>up front with guys like Jpp my Man Snacks, Damon Harrison,

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the former Jet Olivia Vernon coming off the edge. I

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>think this is primed to be a top five defense.

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Here's the problem, and this is something Giant fans have

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>not heard in ten or fifteen years. The problem with

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the New York Giants is the quarterback position. Let me

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>say that again. The problem with the New York Giants

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>is the quarterback position. Eli Manning is getting to the

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>age where people fall off a cliff. He was quarterback

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty one last year, got his four thousand yards, okay,

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>had twenty six touchdowns, but he had sixteen interceptions. You

0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>know what other quarterbacks had sixteen interceptions last year, Blake

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Bortles and Brock Osweidler. That's how many interceptions Eli Manning

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 1>is throwing. I think Father Time is undefeated. I watched

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the Giants canes. I'm here in New York. Some of

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 1>those interceptions were just straight ugly. Okay, there is no

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>reason to believe that in his mid thirties. Eli Manning

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>is all of a sudden gonna bounce back or have

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>a better season. So I'm a little bit low. I'm

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>fading Eli Manning. Okay, I do. Here's the other thing,

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and this is similar to like Cincinnati with Andy Dalton,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 1>this is similar to Los Angeles with Philip Rivers. These

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>are teams that decided to support their quarterbacks by adding

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>playmakers on the outside as opposed to the offensive line.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>And I don't like it. I told you in the

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Bengals how they let their offensive lineman go, but then

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>you know brought in John Joe Ross and Joe Mixon. Well,

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the offense of line for the Giants is still one

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of the five to tend worst in the National Football League.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>But instead they decided to invest their money on Brandon

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>marshalliz another weapon outside. And I think you know you've

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 1>got Oldell Beckham. He's obviously one of the top wide receivers.

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>He's obviously a first round pick. This guy, Oldell Beckham.

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking a hundred and one catches, over hundred yards,

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdowns. He should get paid. He deserves it. He

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>is the man. My only question is will he keep

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>his you know, will he keep his uh temper in

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>check and wind up playing all sixteen games? But that's

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>neither here nor there. I told you when we talked

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>about the Tampa Bay Bucks and how DeShawn Jackson will

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>have an impact on Mike Evans, the same could be

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 1>said for Brandon Marshall having an impact on Oldell Beckham.

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing. Odell Beckham is a guy who

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>will take a seven yard slant to the house right

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of your yards after the catch. He's got

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>that yak. Brandon Marshall is your prototypical outside X receiver,

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's gonna be very helpful in the

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>red zone to be a big target for Eli Manning.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think they conflict so much. In Tampa Bay.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought de Shan Jackson is gonna hurt the deep

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>ball for Mike Evans, if anything. Brandon Marshall is gonna

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>eat up red zone targets that might have gone to Odell.

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But I still love both of these guys. Brandon Marshall

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was such a beast Giants fans, You're gonna be very

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>happy to have him. And I think Brandon Marshall is

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a good season. I think Brandon Marshall is

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>viable to be a wide out three. If you want

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to know the truth, I think Brandon Marshall is gonna

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>set as a goal to try to get a thousand

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>yard receiving season for what would be an NFL record

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>fifth team. He's already got a thousand yard receiving season

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>with the Chicago Bears, the Miami Dolphins, the Denver Broncos,

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and yes, even the New York Jets. Has done so

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>in eight of his last ten seasons, just not last

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>year with the Jets. Then again, who did And also

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>like three years ago with the Bears when they had

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a putrid offense as well. I love Odell Beckham, I

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>love Brandon Marshall. I think Shepherd may see a drop

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>in targets. Remember he was the slot guy. But Brandon

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Marshall is gonna eat into that. And Evan Ingram, this

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>rookie out of Ole Miss He's gonna get some targets.

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be a better real football player than fantasy

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 1>football player, because, as I've mentioned, if you listen to

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the fantasy freestyle, you know that I think tight end

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>is one of the hardest positions for rookies to come

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>in and do well because you gotta know the entire

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>route tree, and you also have to know the entire

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>blocking scheme. That's a lot and a lot different than

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>what a lot of these tight ends did in college,

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 1>including Evan Ingram, who was basically a pass catcher for

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the run in rebels. So I think it may be

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a stretch to think that Evan

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Ingram can be good this year. That's why I have

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>him ranked as my twenty feet tight end. Corey Parkson,

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the Fantasy Executive, has him as tight end twenty two
