Speaker 1: special guest on the line. We have Eli Manning here, Eli,

Speaker 1: it's DJ Envy and Charlemagne the God and Angela Ride. Now.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: You know you know me, we've done podcasts. You know

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm a Giants fan. And then you know my co

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: host and you know he's a Cowgirl fan. Don't don't

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: don't miss gender my team, Gold Cowboys. No, no, no, no.

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: So what I what I wanted to discuss with you

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: is is some some quick football. Of course, the Giants

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: are playing this Saturday. What do you think the Giants

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: need to do to win this game on Saturday? You know,

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I think they just need to play the way they've

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: been playing the last few weeks, and that's, uh, protecting

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: the football, running the ball, well, Daniel's been playing great

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: control passing game, and uh, you know, just step up

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: in the crimical moment to the game. And so you know,

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I think that's that's The defense got a big stop

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: last week and in a two minute drill. So you know,

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: I think for the Giants, they want to get it

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter, keep it a close game, and

23
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: find a way to win it in the fourth quarter. Now,

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: as you were setting yourself up for the playoffs, every

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: time that you get one playoff games and even the

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, what did you do to focus this week out?

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: Because I mean, it's it's pressed, it's I'm sure everybody's

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: calling asking for tickets. So what do you do to

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: make sure that you're locked in? I think you just

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: you know, football players or creatures have happened, and for

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: the last nineteen weeks, basically they've been doing the same

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: thing every single week, and you don't change this week,

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: just get the playoff game. You don't say, hey, I'm

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna work harder this week, or you know, you should

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: have been working the same every week, and so the

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: focus might be a little bit more there just knowing that,

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, the consequences are worse if you if you

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: don't win this game. But I think it's still a

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: matter of going out there being loose. If you, you know,

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: go out to dinner on Friday night with your friends,

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: then go to dinner on Friday night your friends, do

42
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: the same things you've been doing, your same routine, Because

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna keep you comfortable and keep you loose and

44
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: keep you um just you know, getting you prepared to

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: play your best on Saturday. This week's interested. So you

46
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: don't game playing from from game to game, like you

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: don't game playing for different teams differently like the game plan,

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: but the game do you do that every week? I

49
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: just think like your routine and so hey, if you

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: if you go in the day after the game and

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: get a massage and watch your film and just keeping

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: that same routine. And so they'll obviously be you'll watch

53
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: extra film and you know, and sometimes it's a little

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: different with the team you've already played twice, so you

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: know the personnel, you know a lot of their scheme.

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: You'll go back and watch, um, you know they played

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: in the last game and the regular season. Obviously a

58
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: lot of the Giants starters didn't play in Davis Webb

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: is that quarterback. But you can still watch that game,

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: watch their scheme and try to find different, you know,

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: new plays that you could do to attack what they

62
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: what they did you watch the first game you played, Hey,

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: what what went well, what worked, what didn't go what

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: didn't work, and and take from those things and just

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: try to get a great game plan so you can

66
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: go out there and play fast and and just avoid

67
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: the bad plays. You know, I wanted to ask you

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to Eli, man, how many middle fingers are you expecting

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: this week to receive in Philadelphia? Philadelphia's gotta be yeah.

70
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what the over under is, um the

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: trouble Birds. I'm I'm trying to figure out what that is.

72
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a thousand, five hundred,

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't know. It would be interesting.

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: You once said you'd never go to Philly again because

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: how they treated you. I know, I know I thought

76
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: I never would, and so, uh, it's gonna be interesting.

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm bringing my eleven year old daughter with me. I

78
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: gotta you know, she's gonna learn a little new vocabulary,

79
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I feel. And I just think, hey, I've already told her,

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: like whatever you hear or seeing Philadelphia stays in Philadelphia.

81
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: You don't bring that hole. You don't bring that to school.

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: You don't even tell mom about it, like you know,

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: you just kind of like listen, you'll hear some things

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: and just you know, you got to forget about it

85
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: once once we leave. And I got to ask you

86
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: some predictions before you get off the phone. Jaguars, Chiefs.

87
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Who you think got that one? Well, I think everybody's

88
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna take the Chiefs, just because it's you know,

89
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and their record and what they've been able

90
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: to do. Um. You know, the Jaguars, it's like one

91
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: of those teams you don't want to let them linger

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: too long. You saw what they did last week. You

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: saw what they diverse the Cowboys later the year. If

94
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: you if you kind of keep them around, all of

95
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, they got this ability to make these comebacks

96
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: and stay in the games. So I think the Chiefs,

97
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they want to go out and score

98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: every time, and you want to get a big lead.

99
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: But I think it's important to try to jump and

100
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: get a lead on these guys because they have that

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: ability just to to rally towards the end. Bengals, Bills,

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: who do you got? You know? This this is a

103
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: fun one. Um. I think this is you know, might

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: be the best game of the weekend, just because both

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: these teams are so good, both quarterbacks are playing at

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: such a high level. Um, It's it's tough, you know.

107
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: The Bills I kind of for my AFC team. Earlier

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: in the year, I said the Bills are the team

109
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: to beat, and I still I still feel that way.

110
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: I think they just, uh, they find ways to win.

111
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: Um joc Allen can look, you know, unbelievable at times

112
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: and unstoppable. Every once in a while he goes to

113
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: a few series where he gets a little reckless, but

114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: he's still he's able to dial it back again. So

115
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: I still like the Bills, Cowboys and forty nine is

116
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: who do you have? Don't be disrespectful, Eli not disrespectful

117
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: both teams. I mean, obviously, dak Da played outstanding last

118
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: week and that was that was fun. That was fun

119
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: to see and see him. I was happy for him

120
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: to win that playoff game and to play so well.

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: A lot of pressure was on him. But you know,

122
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a different type of pressure on him

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: this this week because it's the it's the forty nine

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Ers defense is on the beat, be the ones giving

125
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: pressure on him. It's not an internal pressure, not a

126
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: mental pressure. It's a physical pass rush pressure that's gonna

127
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: be on them. I just think the forty nine defense

128
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: is it's too good and in their offense. You know,

129
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: they's got TV playmakers and guys are are playing, are

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: playing hungry, and it's scary right now. I think they're

131
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: they're they're playing the best football maybe any team in

132
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. And of course, so are you

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: saying that they're gonna beat us? Yes, that's the same

134
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: saying the Cowboys are gonna lose this weekend. I'm saying, Okay, yes,

135
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, yeah. I just want you to kind of

136
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: read the language and just see if you could comprehend

137
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: what I was saying and kind of if you can

138
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: get your conclusion yourself. You've been wrong before. And lastly,

139
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: of course, the Giants. What do you think the school

140
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be on that game this weekend? Um, I

141
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be. I think it's a tight game,

142
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's gonna be twenty four. All right,

143
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Eli, hold on, I got one more question.

144
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, I enjoyed a Manning Cast TV program. Eli.

145
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I really do with you and your brother Peyton. And

146
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: this is just a random foot ball question because you are,

147
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback. I think you should be a first

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. So you understand this legend. I

149
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: just want to know what is it about football that's

150
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: keeping Tom Brady around? Its football really that fun to play,

151
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to be around as long as he's been around forty

152
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: six next year, you know, I think it's just one

153
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: of those things. You've been doing it so long, it's

154
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,680

Speaker 1: that could be a hard thing to say, Well, I'm

156
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna stop doing these workouts and I'm gonna

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: stop just preparing right now for this upcoming season. And

158
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's just become your life and it can

159
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: be scary to give that up. It's like, well, what

164
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,640

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,680
