1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Welcome into a Week eighteen Giants Hangout, brought to you

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: by Crestron.

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: My name is Madelenburg.

4
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Joined us always by Russ Salzburg, Matt Sintak and the

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion Jonathan Casillas. The last game of the

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: season on deck for the Giants, but they're coming off

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: a win, and not just a win, a win in

8
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: which one Dale Robinson got to one thousand yards receiving. Matt,

9
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: I know we talked about this, you know, last week,

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. He was excited about that stat

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: going into the game. But what does it mean for

12
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: him to have that accomplishment?

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, Wandell has been the most reliable

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: option in the passing game all season. I mean, once

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: Malik Neighbors was lost all the way back in Week four,

16
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: Wandell was expected to really step up and become that

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: number one target, and he's done that. He's had the

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: best season of his young NFL career. You know, he

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: topped the one thousand yard mark for the first time,

20
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: which he talked about how it really meant a lot

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: to him.

22
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: He is one reception shy of tying his career high.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 4: With one more game left, He's.

24
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: Just been really you know, I know, a contract year

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: for him, and it tends to I sentivized players a

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: little bit more, but he's really stepped up and just

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: been a reliable target for whoever it is at quarterback.

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: He's caught passes from all three quarterbacks this season, hasn't

29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: really skipped a beat no matter who was undersat ter.

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: So he's really done a great job.

31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and Jackson Dart too, especially coming into that one

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: getting the win. His performance really felt like we saw

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: what we saw from Dart earlier on this season. Russ,

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: what did you make from what we saw from Dart

35
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 1: as well as the run game in this one?

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you, Madeline, I thought what we got

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 5: from Jackson was what I expected. You know, there was

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 5: thought because of that last game against the Vikings, always

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 5: regressing what's wrong?

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 6: Did the Giants still have confidence?

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 5: Which I thought was the most ridiculous narrative that I

42
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: have ever heard. Jackson Dart is the quarterback today for

43
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: the Giants, He's the quarterback tomorrow, He's the quarter quarterback

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 5: for the Giants on Sunday, and for many many years

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: to come, he is their leader. He did exactly what

46
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: he was supposed to do. He went into Las Vegas.

47
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: He led his Giants to beat a team that they

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 5: were better than. And what you're supposed to do in

49
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 5: the NFL is beat teams that you're better than. JC

50
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 5: knows that. So he did that. And to me, what

51
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 5: the best part of the week was after the game.

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 5: If I would suggest this to any Giants fans, if

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 5: you hadn't seen it yet, go see the locker room

54
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 5: celebration after the game. The joy from everybody in that

55
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 5: locker room play is Kafka Dart everybody. I mean it was.

56
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: Nobody could speak to it better than JC. It's the

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 5: joy of competing. That's what professional athletes do. They compete.

58
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 5: The Giants have been competing all season with bad results.

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: Finally they got the results that they wanted. So I

60
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 5: thought Jackson and the rest of the team was great,

61
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 5: a great.

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Win, and they got the joy out there and Mike Kafka,

63
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: as you mentioned two, got his first win as head coach.

64
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Lots of game balls going around in the locker room

65
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: to celebrate that great performance by the offense, but also

66
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: with the defense, you know, getting pressure on the quarterback

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: in three sacks on the day, getting two turnovers because

68
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: he's We've seen how much of a point of emphasis

69
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: that has been all season. But the Giants in recent

70
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: weeks under Charlie Bullen have been getting takeaways.

71
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, you know, and that's the stat that the

72
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 6: Giants have struggled with the last few years. You know.

73
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 6: Bobby Ocarake, you know, came with a huge interception two

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 6: years ago. Bobbio Karake was a turnover machine and this

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 6: defense was a well oiled machine moving around. Dexter was

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 6: doing this thing and it kind of had semblance of that,

77
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: you know. And at the end of the day, the

78
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: Giants haven't looked like the Giants we thought they were

79
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 6: going to be, Oh who we thought they established over

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 6: these last few years, especially some of their players like

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: Dexah Lawrence. Dexall Lawrence the last few weeks has been

82
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: playing some good football. Statistically, he might not be showing

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 6: up with those numbers, but he's impacting the game that

84
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 6: I don't think he was doing in the first half.

85
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 6: Duke Carter has emerged, Darius Alexander has emerged, and Brian

86
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 6: Burns keeps up his streak. He has two more sacks

87
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 6: to add. What incredible season that he's having with the

88
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 6: up and downs of every player throughout the year. He's

89
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 6: the guy that has been the bell Kow defensively for

90
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 6: the Giants. The defensive backs play solid. This defense looked

91
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 6: different the other day. Guys. I'm sorry, I get in

92
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 6: Las Vegas. They were flying around, they were hitting guys,

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 6: they were in the backfield, they were disruptive, and of

94
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 6: course they created takeaways. We would have saw this defense

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 6: throughout the year. We'll be having a whole other conversation

96
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: going into Week eighteen about what the Giants would be

97
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 6: slated for in the playoffs because a defensive performance like that. Yeah,

98
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 6: it was against the Raiders where the Raiders throwing the game,

99
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 6: who knows. But when you have a team that you're

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 6: better than, like you said earlier, you gotta beat that team, Russ,

101
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. You gotta go out there

102
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 6: and beat them. That's what it's all about. Teams that

103
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 6: it's in front of you. If you are considered, if

104
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 6: you're considered a better team, go take care of business.

105
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 6: And the Giants did that. In fact a this past Sunday.

106
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 6: I was very pleased with the performance.

107
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: Well, and it's like you look at the records. Right,

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: the Giants have beat two teams with an above five

109
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: hundred record. The New England Patriots, who are on their

110
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: way to the playoffs, have only been one team with

111
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: an above five hundred records. So it's not about oh, well,

112
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: this team's good, this team's not good. It doesn't really

113
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: count because they weren't trying.

114
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: Whatever.

115
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: A win's a win, and I think you go in

116
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: day in and day out to prepare for the game

117
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: on Sundays.

118
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: You want to get a win.

119
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: And the Giants did just that in week seventeen, and

120
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: now they got another opportunity to do so against a

121
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: division opponent and the Cowboys to finish off the season.

122
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Now both of these teams are out of the playoffs,

123
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: but both of these teams are still preparing to play

124
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: a game in the NFC East. For us, when you

125
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: look at you know how this defense is going to

126
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: have to slow down the Cowboys receivers.

127
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: First of all, what's the key here?

128
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 5: Well, I think to continue with the pressure. You know,

129
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: we actually just started the hangout and we haven't met

130
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 5: should Brian Burns yet? What can we You can't say

131
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 5: enough about Brian Burns.

132
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: Because he did but not all of us are listening

133
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: to everything.

134
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 5: No, but you know what I mean, and what's Abdul Carter.

135
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 5: You know, I can't say enough the way he's responded,

136
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: and Carter, to his credit, has responded in a big

137
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: time way. Carter's playing like his hairs.

138
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 6: Are on fire. And that's what we need to see.

139
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: Just that's what you want to see from a young

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: player coming out here trying to make a name for himself.

141
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: And you know, we've seen him tweeting out about how

142
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: how badly he wants that Rookie of the Year award

143
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: and wants that recognition for his play. And he's been

144
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: showing up in a different way and is preparing a

145
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: different way in recent weeks. But Matt, when you look

146
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: at the the offensive side of the ball for this

147
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Giants team going against the Cowboys, what we've seen from

148
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: Jackson Darton, the way that he has run this offense

149
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: so efficiently, How how what is the key for him

150
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: and the offensive side of the ball against Cowboys defense?

151
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: Before I get into before I get into Jackson Dart,

152
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: I just real quick on Abdua Carter because you mentioned

153
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 3: his tweets about asking for you know, wanting defensive Rookie

154
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: of the Year. If he had played all season like

155
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: he has the last month, he would have ran away

156
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: with the Yeah.

157
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 5: No question many he has been unbelievable.

158
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Since that benching the first quarter against the Patriots, he's contributed.

159
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: He's at at least a half sack in the last

160
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: four games.

161
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: But not to mention, he's just.

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: Getting after the quarterback play in and play out. Next

163
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: Gen stats put this out after the game on Sunday.

164
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: Quick pressures under two point five seconds getting to the quarterback.

165
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: Aubdul Carter leads the NFL all players. He is number

166
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: one in the NFL and that's that. He has been

167
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: wreaking happick this last month. So I just want to

168
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: give him his props. I don't know if i'd quite

169
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: say he deserves Defensive Rookie of the Year because there

170
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 3: was a two month stretch where he, you know, didn't

171
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 3: really do a whole lot to contribute to the defense.

172
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: But the way he's played the last month, he sure

173
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: looks like a defensive Rookie of the Year. Now onto

174
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: Jackson you mentioned earlier. I apologize I forgot who mentioned it,

175
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: but two weeks ago that Vikings matchup was his worst

176
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: game of his young career, no doubt about it. He

177
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: admitted to it, But that a lot of it goes

178
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: towards Brian Flores and his defensive scheme. He is one

179
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: of the best defensive play calls in the NFL.

180
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: You just have to tell what was asked of Jackson

181
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: in that game too.

182
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: They were running the game the ball so much, they

183
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: weren't asking They weren't asking.

184
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Him to do a lot.

185
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: He didn't even attempt his first pass until a couple

186
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: of minutes into the second quarter. He didn't complete his

187
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 3: first pass till right before halftime, So there clearly was

188
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: a game plan for that game to attack on the ground.

189
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: This last week we saw they let Jackson, you know,

190
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: play his game a little bit more and he looked

191
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: like the normal Jackson that we've grown accustomed to seeing.

192
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: This week against the Cowboys defense, Their defense, i'm gonna say,

193
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: is a lot more towards the Raiders end of the

194
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: spectrum than the Vikings end of the spectrum. There should

195
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: be another good opportunity for Jackson to take advantage of

196
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: a let's just say below average defense, and you know

197
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: a great opportunity for him to close the season strong.

198
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I like it, and you know you want to close

199
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: the strong with a win, shutting down the Cowboys receivers

200
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: and pressuring the quarterback. Do you think, Casius, the Giants

201
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: can get pressure on Dak Prescott.

202
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 6: I think so. And look, Dak is playing extremely well.

203
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 6: I don't even know. I heard some whispers that he

204
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 6: might not play this week. I don't know. But if

205
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 6: he plays, Dak Prescott is one of the most efficient

206
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the league. This team averages almost not almost

207
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 6: over four hundred yards a game on offense. Last week

208
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 6: against the Commanders, they ran eighty seven plays, five hundred

209
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 6: yards total offense, two hundred yards on the ground. This offense,

210
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 6: don't even look at the defense. The defense is horrible.

211
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 6: This offense is a top ear offense in the NFL

212
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 6: with two of the top tier wide receivers. The defense

213
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 6: have to come to play. They have to create pressure

214
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 6: against this team. And I think for you to get pressure,

215
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: you have to do well on first and second down.

216
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 6: And that's where the Giants have struggled. They struggled on

217
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 6: first and second down against the run. This Cowboys team, Yeah,

218
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 6: they like to throw the ball to their pretty wide receivers,

219
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 6: but they're running team. They like to be physical, they

220
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 6: like to establish the run. And if the Giants could

221
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 6: do a good job on first and second down and

222
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 6: then get them into third and manageable for the defense,

223
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 6: they can get them off the field. Get the pressure,

224
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: get out, dude, Carter, Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence, Darius Alexander

225
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 6: on Dak's back, because if not, this team can easily

226
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 6: score thirty points. And like you said, Matt, defensively, they

227
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 6: can easily give up thirty points. So the Giants have

228
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 6: to figure out a way to slow them down offensively

229
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 6: and do what everybody has done the Dallas this year

230
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 6: on offensive.

231
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: Score some points, just real quick. Brian Schottneimer on Monday

232
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: did say that Dak is playing.

233
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: Okay, good good, Yeah, so Dak is in.

234
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I get the idea of, you know, wanting

235
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: to keep your players healthy, but it's the last game

236
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: of the season.

237
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: Let them play.

238
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: You know, you never you never know, all right, Giants,

239
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: cow was a lot of history there as we are

240
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: well aware, big division rivalry happening here.

241
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: But Russ, what do you know? What do you say?

242
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: What do we got for trivia this week?

243
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 5: What do you know? What do you say, Well, Madeline,

244
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: as you know, we've been down this road many times

245
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 5: with the Giants and a Cowboys. It's quite their rivalry. Well,

246
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: the season, folks, was two thousand and nine, their last

247
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 5: game actually in Giants Stadium, the last season in Giants Stadium,

248
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: Week thirteen, Giants took care of the Cowboys by the

249
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 5: score of thirty one to twenty four. Giants in that

250
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 5: game scored four touchdowns, two by one player.

251
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: All right?

252
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 5: Who scored those touchdowns? And by the way, I'll give

253
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 5: you a little hit, one was by a special.

254
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: Teamer, Dominic Hickson.

255
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: You know what, sometimes you really do impress me. Jacon

256
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 5: right out of the gate, who was a favorite of

257
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 5: mine when he was They're really good, dude, Dominic Kickson.

258
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: All right, yep, that Brandon Jacobs.

259
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 5: Okay, hold on a second, Dominic. By the way, it

260
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 5: was a seventy nine.

261
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 6: Yard punt return.

262
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: Now, Matt Young, you said, Brandon Jacobs, all right, so

263
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 5: tell me more, Steve Smith, No, Brandon Jacobs.

264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Was that Victor Cruz?

265
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 6: Was he Cruis that year?

266
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

267
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 5: Brandon Jacobs, Yes, Brandon Jacobs, Brandon Jacobs, yes, But how did.

268
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 4: He do it? I'm assuming rushing, running.

269
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 5: The ball, and receiving.

270
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: So he's had a.

271
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: One yard run and a seventy four yard reception. How

272
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 5: about that.

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 6: Brandon Jacobs with a seventy four yard reception. That is scary,

274
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 6: scary that big man run at seventy four yards.

275
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Down Robinson on Monday Night Football this week.

276
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 5: Like what I'm assuming. I'm assuming that was a catcher

277
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: and run jac Man.

278
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 6: Listen, that big man running seventy four yards just gave

279
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 6: me chills.

280
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 5: That's I used to love when he would catch a

281
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 5: ball like coming out of the flat, like kind of

282
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 5: with a head start, and it was like a runaway

283
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: train out of control.

284
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 6: He ain't running out of bounce.

285
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: No, no running out of bounce. That's the camp's kataboo mentality.

286
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 4: Let me look through you.

287
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 6: I don't want to.

288
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: I'm not dodging nobody if you're standing there.

289
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 6: Duck.

290
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Well I got a bonus for you here.

291
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 5: In that game, there was a force fumble by the Giants,

292
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: also recovered by the Giants. Real simple. Who forced it

293
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 5: and who recovered it?

294
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: Oh? See forced the I'm going to see.

00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 5: I'm on your she recovered she recovered it.

296
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 6: JPP forced it. No, No, Jpp wasn't in the league

297
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 6: yetting not.

Speaker 2: Tou see his noseball.

307
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, we've got New Year's Eve this week.

308
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, we've got the Giants Cowboys, the last game

309
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty five season, but the first game

310
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty six calendar year. So as we

311
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: turned the page to a new year, a lot of

312
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: us may be given up up things or you know,

313
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: having New Year's resolutions. But if we already give the

314
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: Giants a new Year's resolution for next year, Matt, what

315
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: is your new Year's resolution for these New York Football Giants?

316
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: Ooh, for me, it's it's pretty easy.

317
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: Something jumped into my mind right away, and that is,

318
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six, the New York Giants, please stop

319
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: the run.

320
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: When you're on defense.

321
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: Don't let the opposing team run for one hundred and

322
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: fifty plus yards every game because it's just backbreaking. You know,

323
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: we have this tremendous defensive line that does not get

324
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: to just pin their years back and get after the

325
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: quarterback because.

326
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: The other team is just running the ball constantly.

327
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: So for twenty twenty six, the new Year's resolution for

328
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: the Giants is to stop the run.

329
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: All right, Russ, what about you? What's your new Year's resolution?

330
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: Man?

331
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 5: You gotta know you can guess what I'm going to say.

332
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: Give me sixty minutes of football each and every week,

333
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: because if they would have done that this season, their

334
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: record would be quite a bit different than you know,

335
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 5: I was just doing something before we got on. Okay,

336
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: they beat the Chargers eleven of five. They beat the

337
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 5: Eagles that that team is also eleven of five. They

338
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 5: lost to the Broncos. They're thirteen and three. They had

339
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: them going into the fourth quarter. They had the Lions,

340
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: they had the Bears, they had the Packers. I mean,

341
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: it's sixty minutes of football. I don't want to sound

342
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 5: like a broken record, but that's what they need to do.

343
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 5: They need there's no letting up. Just play sixty minutes

344
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: of hard nosed football. And I think if they did that,

345
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: they would do also that would help do as what

346
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: Matt said, stop the run.

347
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: There you go.

348
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: See what's your new Year's resolution.

349
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 6: So I got like, almost like a mantra almost that

350
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: I want to, you know, spit at the Giants. It

351
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: goes something like this, play together, play encourage, play fearless,

352
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 6: play violet. You played courage because you know what you're doing.

353
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 6: You play fielders because hesitation gets you beat. You play

354
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 6: together because this is family. You play violent because this

355
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 6: is football.

356
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it honestly.

357
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: That feels like something out of Friday Night Lights right there,

358
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: and I'm here for.

359
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: You.

360
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 5: JC was a poet for crying out loud.

361
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 6: That's it. I was coming up with some like some

362
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: some some sayings of football, and then I kept on

363
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 6: going to play violent. And I'm like, maybe I'll list

364
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 6: that last. Maybe I'll list that last. But the last

365
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 6: part of that, for me is the most important. Being physical.

366
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 6: You talk about the rushing yards that the Giants give up.

367
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 6: When I think about being physical, I think about being violent.

368
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 6: I think about stopping the run on defense, right and

369
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: then again running the ball on offense. If the Giants

370
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 6: can have that mentality on some real stuff, it doesn't

371
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 6: matter to scores. Next year, the games will look and

372
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 6: feel differently. They may not score as much, but they

373
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: won't give up as much. If you played with the

374
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 6: mindset on every play, I'm telling you it will work

375
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 6: out for you because this game is the people that

376
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: have success are the violent smart people. Those are the

377
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 6: people that have success in his lead, people that play

378
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 6: physical football and that are smart. And the Giants have

379
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 6: been at this year. They haven't been as physical as

380
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 6: they're supposed to be, and they haven't been as smart

381
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 6: as smart as they need it to be, especially situationally.

382
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, listen at midnight on New Year's you've oftentimes,

383
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, you raise a glass, you toast and you

384
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, find somebody you love or whatever. But when

385
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: you're toasting to the new year, my toast for this

386
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: Giants team is to your health, because we want to

387
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: see a healthy Giants team in twenty twenty six. Injuries

388
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: were a huge part of the storyline of this team,

389
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: not just Kim Skataboo, not just Molie Neighbors.

390
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: Mike McFadden was a.

391
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: Huge blow to the Giants defense early on in the

392
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: season when he went down and when these key players

393
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: are going to be returning to the team next year

394
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: healthy in the beginning of the season.

395
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: I want to keep it that way.

396
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I would like to see a healthy Giants roster through

397
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and so that is what I will

398
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: be raising in glass too and giving a New Year's

399
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: toast for this Giants team. But before twenty twenty six,

400
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: we got to turn the page a week eighteen, we

401
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: got this Giants Cowboys game, and we got to wrap

402
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: up our show with a little over under to send

403
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: our hangout listeners with the farewell. So we'll start with

404
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: some takeaways, right, how much Ghenner I s are the

405
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys going to be in this one over under? One

406
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: half a takeaway? Sidetech?

407
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: What do you think I'm.

408
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 6: Going to go over?

409
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: I think the Giants can get one takeaway. I know

410
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: the takeaways have been sort of lacking throughout the season,

411
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 3: but I think the momentum from last week will carry over.

412
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: The Cowboys offensive line Dak got sacked. I believe it

413
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: was six times last week by the Commanders, and the

414
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: Giants defensive front I think is a little bit better

415
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: than the Commanders with.

416
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: The way Brian Burns is playing. Abdu Carter not to

417
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 4: mention dexter L.

418
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 3: Lawrence is still looking for his first full sack of

419
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: the season. I think this takeaway will come in a

420
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: strip sack of Dak Prescott.

421
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Salzburg over under half a takeaway.

422
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: One takeaway, you know what, I'm optimistic. I'm gonna go

423
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: with the over. I think they'll get a takeaway, whether

424
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 5: it's a pick fumble, whatever, I think they'll get a takeaway.

425
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 6: Chasey, Yeah, Dallas. Dak doesn't really give up the ball

426
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 6: that much, but he does get sacked a lot, especially

427
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: the last four or five games. I think he was

428
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 6: sacked like fourteen to fifteen times the last five games.

429
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 6: But I do think the Giants created takeaway because the

430
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 6: Giants have been trending that way. Their defense have been

431
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 6: playing a lot better and look like guys are playing

432
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 6: with their hair on fire and they're flying around them

433
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: and creating plays, and guys are running from the line

434
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 6: of scrimmage to wherever that ball is caught or ran.

435
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 6: And I like that. I like what I've been seeing

436
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 6: with that, and it will you will create takeaways that.

437
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: What in bunches, right, we see them all the time,

438
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: and I would imagine that with this heater that the

439
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Giants Stevens has been on, they be able to get

440
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,239
Speaker 1: one out of the Cowboys this week. And you talk

441
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: about the pressure getting on the quarterback. Yes, Dak Prescott

442
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: gets sacked quite a bit, but can Abdul Carter and

443
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: Brian Burns combine for over or under two and a

444
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: half sacks?

445
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: Because he's what do you think.

446
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: Just them two together with two and a half. It's

447
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 6: gonna be hard for me to let Dallas not It's

448
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 6: gonna be hard for me to embrace that Dallas is

449
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 6: just gonna let those two guys just totally destroy them

450
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 6: without having any type of plan for them. So I'm

451
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 6: gonna go under. I believe that they're very much capable.

452
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 6: I just don't think Dallas is gonna have a team

453
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 6: in their division knowing the two players that can get

454
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: to the quarterback allow them to do it. So I

455
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 6: think they're gonna have a plan for Burns, which I

456
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 6: don't think a lot of teams, especially the Raiders, have

457
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 6: plans for Burns. I think they will have a plan

458
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 6: for Burns to slow them down a little bit.

459
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean they may have a plan for him, but

460
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean the way Burns is playing. Who knows if

461
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: it'll work?

462
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: Is true? Is true?

463
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 3: Matt, What do you think I'm gonna have to go

464
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: with under?

465
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 4: As well?

466
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: I mean as great as Burns has been playing all

467
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: season and a duel over the last month. That means

468
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: they have to combine for three sacks between the two players.

469
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: That's just a lot.

470
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: I think they could potentially each get one sack and

471
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: hit two, but to get over two and a half,

472
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 3: I think that's just a bit steep.

473
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go under, Russ.

474
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 5: Madeline correct me. Is it just between Carter and Burns

475
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 5: or the entire team?

476
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: Just between Carter and Burns?

477
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, just between Carter and Burns. If it's just between

478
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 5: the two of them, you know what, wishful thinking. I'm

479
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: gonna say, they take care of business and keep running around.

480
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say over.

481
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say wishful thinking, They're gonna go over.

482
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Russ, I mean, I get it. You know,

483
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: it's a lot to think about. Oh, they gonna have

484
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: a lot, they're gonna be preparing for these guys this

485
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: and that. But again, Dak is a quarterback that gets

486
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: sacked a lot. Brian Burns has sixteen and a half

487
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: sacks on the season. I wouldn't be surprised if he

488
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: got three in a game on his own.

489
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. I kind of feel that way also, yeah.

490
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, and especially closing out the season, he's like,

491
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: how much can I close this gap on Miles Garrett?

492
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: I got one more shot, let's go. I could see

493
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: him doing it. I could see him in a dual

494
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: combining for it. I'm going to take the over on

495
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: this one. Let's talk a little offense though. Touchdowns total

496
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns by Jackson dark passing and rushing over under two, Matt,

497
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: What do you think?

498
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 6: So?

499
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: At first I was gonna go with a push. I

500
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: think I was going to go with two total because

501
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: he's only had more than two in two games.

502
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: Throughout the whole season.

503
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 3: But then I did a little deeper dive into the

504
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 3: Cowboys defense and I looked at the points up lately.

505
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 3: This is just going back the last five games, twenty

506
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 3: three points, thirty four points, thirty four points, forty four points,

507
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: twenty eight. So because of that, I think Jackson is

508
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: more than capable of getting to at least three touchdowns

509
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: against this defense.

510
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go over.

511
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: I can see it because he is your giggling.

512
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 6: What do you think, but Matt, you could keep going back.

513
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 6: It's gonna sound the same with Dallas defense. They're getting

514
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 6: up thirty points a game. Bro. Yeah, I think look,

515
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: last week we saw Jackson Dart's full skill set in

516
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 6: front of us. That's what we saw. We saw his

517
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 6: full skill set. They got into emptd threw the ball efficiently,

518
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 6: he got the ball out of his hands. He found

519
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 6: his favorite target in Wanda Robinson. When he got to

520
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 6: certain situations where he had to talk the ball, he

521
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 6: did it. He did it decisively. He started to slide.

522
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 6: Of course, he fought for that touchdown and the end zone. Well,

523
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 6: he did take a shot, and that's somewhere where I

524
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 6: think that he's having discernment on now. It's like, all right, now,

525
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 6: that's a situation where I know I'm going to fight

526
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 6: for that and I'm going to go get it. He

527
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 6: is a guy when he has his skill set when

528
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 6: he's available to him. Because I don't think it was

529
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 6: in the Vikings game. The last week is the type

530
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 6: of game we see, and I think he's progressing and

531
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 6: he's getting smarter, he's having discernment. He's not taking unnecessary hits,

532
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 6: and that's what you wanted to see. In a postgame

533
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 6: interview I heard from him, Paul Deatino asked him, you know,

534
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 6: Paul gave him a little layup. He was like, hey,

535
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: you know, you're protecting yourself. And his answer to that

536
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 6: question was finally what I wanted to hear. He said

537
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 6: that he's learning, and I was like, that's all we

538
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 6: wanted to hear from you, dark and not that we

539
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 6: haven't seen it, but I wanted to hear him say it.

540
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 6: Now that he said it, for me, it gives me

541
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: the utmost confidence that this kid is going to be special.

542
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 6: Two touchdowns a game for him is at least what

543
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 6: I'm requiring for him, because I think he's that good.

544
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 6: That's because people don't give him credit for his passing ability.

545
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 6: I think he's a phenomenal passer of the football is

546
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 6: and he will get better.

547
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 4: The run part.

548
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 6: He just has to have discermon and when not to

549
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 6: get hit. That he got figured out. He already had

550
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 6: to tucking it when he's supposed to tuck it, scramble

551
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: it when he's supposed to scramble it. They are designing

552
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 6: runs for him and he has a lot of success

553
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 6: and I'm sorry to go on his rant here, I

554
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 6: just had to give Jackson Dark his flowers because this

555
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 6: kid is phenomenal and he will have at least two

556
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 6: touchdowns against Dallas.

557
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Russ, what do you think?

558
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 6: I agree?

559
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 5: I agree he's going to have at least the two touchdowns.

560
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 5: And I'm really glad that jac brought it up. In

561
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 5: terms of his passing, I mean, I think he's an

562
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: excellent passer. I mean as a rookie. To me, he

563
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 5: looks very strong, he spins a good ball, and let's

564
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 5: be honest, Jackson was the victim of a lot of

565
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 5: draw passes by his this year, a lot of draw passes,

566
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 5: so those passing stats would have been up as well

567
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 5: like touchdown a stats. So now I think he goes over.

568
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he goes over as well.

569
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: For the point that you made too, I mean that

570
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: defense is one that is a great opportunity for him

571
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: to have some scoring. And also this is the first

572
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: time we're going to see Jackson dart against the Cowboys,

573
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: and the Giants played the Cowboys earlier this season. It

574
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: was Russell Wilson at quarterback, and we remember what a

575
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: barn Burner of a game. That one was a lot

576
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: of scoring back and forth. This is going to be

577
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: a big moment for Jackson Dart playing the Cowboys for

578
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: the first time as a Giant. I think he's going

579
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: to go out there and put on a show for

580
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: the final game of the season.

581
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: But we shall see.

582
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,640

00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: got a season recap coming next week too, so we'll
