15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: to the divisional round for the first time since two

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: thousand eleven as they win the rematch with the Minnesota

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: Vikings in Minneapolis thirty one to four. This was essentially

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: a back and forth offensive clinic, but when the Giants

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: defense needed to make a stop, it was Xavier McKinney,

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: who did not play in the first matchup because of

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the hand injury coming through and stopping T. J. Hockenson

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: on a fourth and eight from the Minnesota forty eight.

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: It was a three yard completion well short of the

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: first down marker. The Giants were then able to run

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: out the clock. So the Giants now set up their

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: third matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend in Philly.

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: As the Eagles the top seed, they'll be coming off

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: the buy and Jalen Hurts health will be a huge

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: storyline as we get ahead of the curve with respect

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: to what's upcoming. But a few notable items to come

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: out of this contest. The Giants snapped a four game

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: skin against the Vikings. They hand Minnesota their first loss

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: in a one score game this season eleven and oh

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: in one score games during the regular season. Giants the

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: first team to salve that riddle against the Vikings and

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: just the second home loss for the Vikings. They were

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: eight and one in the regular season. How about the

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: fact that the Giants went forty three straight games without

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: reaching thirty points. They broke that streak in Week seventeen

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts. So now in two times in

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: the last three contests, they surpassed thirty points. And I

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: mentioned this in the pregame this game, the onus was

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: on the offense. You knew the Vikings coming in, averaging

44
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven points per game at home. They were going

45
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: to test this Giants defense and they did. The Giants

46
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: did a good job containing Justin Jefferson. Outside of that

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: opening drive, he did not put up monster numbers. It

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: was a modest performance for Justin Jefferson. Seven catches forty

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: seven yards, Hackinson ten for a hundred twenty nine. He

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: had big third down conversions, he had a fourth down catch.

51
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: But the Giants offense seven possessions, seven legitimate possessions meaning

52
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: where there was the intention to move the ball and

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: score four touchdowns, a field goal, and two punts. They

54
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: only punted twice and they did not punt until the

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: third quarter. So the offense needed to deliver, and boy

56
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: did it deliver and then some. That was today's game breakdown.

Speaker 1: We have plenty more coming up. We're gonna hear from

Speaker 1: of fourteen, tied at seven one oh eight to go

70
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: in the first, Jones takes the snap, fires a thicker

71
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: to the end touchdown. Giants, I say, Hodgens, it just

72
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: ran the post. Jones the Hodgens a winning combination and

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: the Giants take the lead with one h three to

74
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: go with the first And that brings us to the

00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: the game in extremely efficient performance twenty four of thirty

79
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: five for three d one yards two touchdown passes. He

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: was sacked three times. But how about him running seventeen

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: times for seventy eight yards, and while the yardage per

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: run doesn't necessarily jump off the page of the first half,

83
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: he did plenty of damage and was giving the Vikings

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: defense headaches and then some. And he wasn't much of

85
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: a factor on the ground in the first matchup, as

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: he ran four times or just over thirty yards. We'll

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: get more into that in a second. First to reminder,

Speaker 1: the Vikings moving on to the divisional round where they

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: will visit the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend. We are awaiting

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: Brian Dable, who should be addressing the media shortly. We're

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: also going to get some player reaction in the locker

98
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: room with our very own John Schmilk, who was standing

99
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: by awaiting Brian Dable's arrival. And John, the one thing

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: that jumps out to me about this performance, and it

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: goes back to the first regular season matchup. They had

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: four forty five total yards of offense and they had

103
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: some mishaps the turnover as well. They avoided some of

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: those mental mistakes today and they had four touchdown drives

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: all for at least seventy five yards. So the yardage

106
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: matched up with the point total. And Daniel Jones was

107
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: a huge factor on the ground which we didn't see

108
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: in that first matchup. Yeah, Lance, Look, they the two

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: turnovers in the block put in that first matchup and

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: they didn't today and the big reason they won. And

111
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: that's why Brian Dabeles gonna talk about at the podium

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: right now. Let's listen in. But how's everybody doing. I'm

113
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: going good? Yeah good. It was much like last game.

114
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: Came down to a few plays. Uh, we made a

115
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: few more than they did and you don't get to

116
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: move on here. So um, good game, trip back and

117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: then get ready to play Philly here. Yeah, I mean

118
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: we were here the last time. We knew what it

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 1: was gonna be. The crowds great here, Um, atmosphere is excellent.

120
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: It was cranking today and you know, I think that

121
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the most important thing. Are the things you need to

122
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: do when you're playing in those type of environments. The

123
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: other things you know you're gonna hear it, but you know,

124
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: getting the calls in quickly, making sure we're in the

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: right kind of formation, how to wise um, communicating the personnel,

126
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: all those things. That's what makes the difference. Um. So

127
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: you know, the coaches players, is a good job? Play good?

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Play good? Yeah? Play good winning football? Did you have

129
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: are you out of breath? Camp? Are you what are

130
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: you worrying about? Oh? Okay, oh say it one more time? Yeah,

131
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: m hm, no, what isn't good and good? Adjective use? Yeah?

132
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm not a writer, I'm just a coach. So, um, look, Daniels,

133
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: I've said it all year. He's been a good for us.

134
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: He continues to be good for us. And he played

135
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: a good game. And then I think there's a lot

136
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: of other people that play good games too to help

137
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: him play a good game. He'll be the first to

138
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: admit it. But as the leader of our football team, UM,

139
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm proud of him. Yeah. No, I'd say

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: the game plan that we put together, um M, on

141
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: offense kind of it was a game plan for the

142
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: game you know, what we did is what we wanted

143
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, there's always adjustments, but I thought

144
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: Africa and all the assistant coaches had those guys ready

145
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: to play. And um, I thought he called a really

146
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: good game, the one where it was close. Yeah, you know,

147
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: they were telling me upstairs he might have it, and

148
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: I said, just just go to the line. We went

149
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: quick on the next play. Um. You know, I don't

150
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: think you risk it if you can, if you can

151
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: get it off there and go. You know, you say

152
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: it was a big play in the game. So you

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: know that we went fast. You know, we threw the

154
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: challenge flat, but they gave it back to me because

155
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: they went respotted anyways on the fourth down. UM. So yeah,

156
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: it was a good team effort today. I played good

157
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: team defense. That's what that's what's required when you play

158
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: a really good player. UM, don't wink. And staff did

159
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: a good job. And you know they hit some players.

160
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna hit some players. I got some good players.

161
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: But you know, one of the keys was not to

162
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: let a team beat us. Um and I thought the

163
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: plan and then most importantly the execution by the players,

164
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: and that's what's the most important. Yeah, no, No, we

165
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: were going after it. We're gonna go try to win

166
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: the game. We had confidence in Daniel moving the pile

167
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: and um, I'm not gonna live with the consequences the

168
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: short one. Yeah, like a dive play, Yeah, absolutely, yeah,

169
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: we only need a couple of yards to get it

170
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: in and put it in his hand. And you know,

171
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: he did a great job. You know, guys pushed him,

172
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: he kept his legs driving. Um, big play, Jimmy, all right,

173
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: you're good, Okay, Yeah, that's what we thought was best

174
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: for the team. I said, put your head up. You know,

175
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: you made a lot of good plays for us. I

176
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: mean that could have went, that could have won ways, Um,

177
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: at least your first down. And you know, there's he's

178
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: such a good teammate. He's done everything he could do

179
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: for us the entire year. And you know, you make

180
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: a physical mistake, that's gonna happen in football. Um, and

181
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: he made one in a critical time. And you know

182
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: there's no one that I felt worse than him. So

183
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: you know we need it. We need him. He's one

184
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of our our best players on offense. I have a

185
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in him and I just you know,

186
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: told him get his chin up, and we need him

187
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: to go back out there. Let's get ready to go.

188
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Who yeah, I mean he had an opportunity and you

189
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: know we just quite didn't connect. So that's how much

190
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: he cares about the team. And um again, we got

191
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys like that. Um yeah, I know.

192
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm happy for the players first and foremost.

193
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: They're the ones out there doing it in between the lines.

194
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: And happy for the coaches, the scouts, ownership. Um, you know,

195
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,280

196
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: and you know there's not really a lot of time

197
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: to reflect on these games. You you know, I would

198
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't know when we're playing on my guests, would

210
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: that's that's our job as a coaching staff is to

211
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: make sure we're making adjustments as a game goes on.

212
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: Um could be throwing more, run it less, put a

213
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: different guy on somebody and um, you know, I've got

214
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence in Winking and the defensive staff.

215
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: And that's something that we talked about, you know, after

216
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: you hit in you know one I think was a

217
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: little short post on it, and we put X on him,

218
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: and you know, it's good to have X back. It

219
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: could have a Dory back, could have all those guys back. Yeah,

220
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: he's a good player, he's a pro. He's done in

221
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: a long time. I mean I don't I'm glad he's

222
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: on our team, but I don't like it's that's what,

223
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: that's whatever, that's what that's what the players jobs are

224
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: to do is when they're ready to play, play and

225
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: play good. And when you're a good player, play good.

226
00:13:43,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: That's no more, no less. Yeah, huge, absolutely, Yeah. I

227
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: mean he's done it all year. Uh yeah, I think

228
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: I ate a banana and drank a half a bottle

229
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: of water and then went out there. Uh, pinnock, I

230
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: know it was at the hospital. I don't know. I

231
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: don't know any I was just told when I came

232
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: in and he went to the hospital. So you want

233
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: to ask you that, pat Um, I don't know. I

234
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: don't know what the I don't know until I get

235
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: back in there. What was it there? You go, Yeah,

236
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: I think we had a lot of work to do.

237
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Go back, look at this tape, correct things we need

238
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: to correct, and you've got a lot of work to do.

239
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: But it's enjoyable work too, be able to be working

240
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: at this time of year. Kenny Golladay And see that block. Yeah,

241
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: that's every everything's team. It's all about our team. That's

242
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, we try. It's not an individual sport, but

243
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: individuals have to play well and when they get their opportunity,

244
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: they got to make the most of it. So whether

245
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: it's five plays, seventy plays, um, you know, coach, player, trainer,

246
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, we all have jobs to do and I

247
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: expect those guys from you know, their work ethic, their

248
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: commitment to the team to to go out there and

249
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: give it there all. Yeah, I don't know. I just

250
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. We we work hard. We

251
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're say scrappy bunch. We work hard. Um,

252
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: certainly lot of things we can always get better at.

253
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: But I think there's a good amount of humility in

254
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: that room of you know, just play the next play.

255
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: No one's bigger than the team. Execute your assignments, you know.

256
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: And and I've talked about this before again, the preparation

257
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and the practice things that we've done. You know, I

258
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: know we rested those guys last week, but again something

259
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: like that was we thought was best for the team.

260
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: I thought those guys were fresh, ready to go. Um.

261
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: But next week's new week. So you gotta enjoy this

262
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: one less than twenty four hours. In these these type

263
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: of games, y'all can do. You can all can ask

264
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: to go ahead? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. That he's a competitor, um,

265
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: and he's kept his head down and he's worked as

266
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: hard as he can, and when his numbers called, he's

267
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: he's tried to do the best Jobby can. And I got,

268
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I got a lot of resp back

269
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: for all the guys in our room, um, you know,

270
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: all of them. Yeah, Well, I mean I don't know

271
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: how many. There was a few design obviously there were

272
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: some scrambles, but again, I think that for this game,

273
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: we thought that that was something that you know, maybe

274
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: we didn't do at all last game, that we thought

275
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: would be a little new wrinkle. I mean, people have

276
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: seen us do them, but we have a wide variety

277
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: of them. Um, you know, there's games we've done a lot,

278
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: there's games we've done a little. We just thought that,

279
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, this would be a good time to do.

280
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: It's just like all the players we gained planned for.

281
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: You know, we think it gives us a chance. And

282
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, you know, you only have sixty seventy

283
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: left in the season, so you better make them the

284
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: ones you think are gonna work. Thanks guys, all right.

285
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: So that was head coach Brian Table speaking to the

286
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: media following the Giants VIC three over the Vikings in

287
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: the wild card round. They now move on to play

288
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. Coach Gable had

289
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: indicated that he thinks the team may be playing on Saturday,

290
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: but that of course, is yet to be determined, and

291
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: not going to officially release the schedule until after the

292
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: Monday night game. Between the Bucks and the Cowboys, and

293
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: we have plenty of time to speculate about that. He

294
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: did bring up Daniel Jones as a runner. We'll step

295
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: beside when we come back. We'll get into the power

296
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: report and why the Giants had success with Daniel Jones

297
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: and utilized him as a weapon compared to the regular

298
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: season matchup when he only ran four times. Giants moving

299
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: on thanks to his seven point victory over the Vikings,

300
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,040

00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: a block, Barkley to the torn plod Barkley to the

308
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: left sideline for the tent of the four touchdown. Giants

309
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: sake kwon Barkley ards twenty eight yard thirty. They touched

310
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: there for twenty seven of the last seating and get

311
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight right there and the Diets are extract going

312
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: away from tying it and that was the first of

313
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: four touchdowns for the Giants on the day as they

314
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: beat the Vikings thirty one twenty four. And it brings

315
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: us to the Giants Power Report brought to you by

316
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: P S E n G. Committed to providing safe, reliable

317
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: energy now and in the future. On the ground, they

318
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: ran the ball thirty times for a hundred forty two yards,

319
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones seventeen for seventy eight yards, sake Kwon Barkley

320
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: nine for fifty three and you just heard one of

321
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: his two rushing scores on the day. And why is

322
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: thirty a key number? Well, it brings me to one

323
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite stats this season. They are now ten

324
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: oh and one when they have at least thirty rushing

325
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: attempts oh and seven when they don't. Now, they had success,

326
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: of course running the football, so that can't be overlooked.

327
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones specifically was far more of a vocal

328
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: point in the rushing attack where the Giants made sure

329
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: that he would be the centerpiece, unlike the first meeting

330
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: where he only ran four times for thirty four yards,

331
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: and specifically early in the game, the Vikings the defense

332
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: parted like the red Sea for the Giants, and the

333
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: Giant said, okay, hey, if you're gonna give us the

334
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: middle of the field, we're gonna take full advantage of it.

335
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: And Daniel Jones he would run up the gut, he

336
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: would throw the ball like he did in the middle

337
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: of the field in the first matchup, and it was

338
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: on the Vikings defense to make the necessary adjustment. In

339
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota really never truly digested his ability as a runner

340
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 1: because it was a huge game changer. You look at

341
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: the third down efficiency in this contest. Giants were seven

342
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: of thirteen and if you look at the down and

343
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: distance on those third downs, the longest third down they

344
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: faced over the course of this game was for seven yards.

345
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: You go into a game you face thirteen third downs

346
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: and you tell the offensive coaching sty have the longest

347
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to convert is seven yards. Something tells

348
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: me Brian Dabele and Mike Kafka would sign up for

349
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: that and then some that was huge. Now, why did

350
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: they face so many manageable third downs? They were running

351
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: the ball effectively. Keep in mind on the first two

352
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: touchdown drives and they scored on each of their first

353
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: two possessions of game, the Giants did not face one

354
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: third down, So that just goes to show you a

355
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: the existence of explosive plays at least fifteen yards on

356
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: multiple plays within those two drives. And then the ability

357
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: once again to use the run game so that you

358
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: get the Vikings defense moving and having to adjust, and

359
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: that was a huge X factor at the beginning of

360
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: the game. And then of course sort of down the

361
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: stretch of the game where on those short yarded situations,

362
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: the third and ones, the fourth and one, where Daniel

363
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: Jones and his build is a quarterback his body allowing

364
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: you to be able to have your quarterback under center

365
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: and him to deliver that yard to continue to move

366
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: the chains. You don't have a big quarterback like that.

367
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Most teams sometimes shy away from putting their quarterback in

368
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: that position. The Giants are not gonna shy away from

369
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: doing that. With respect to Daniel Jones, and we are

370
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Daniel Jones as we move forward here

Speaker 1: passer and his game changing ability on the ground. Is

380
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: the Giants top the Vikings thirty one to twenty four.

381
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: They move on to the divisional round to the first

382

Speaker 1: got the first down to the five yard line? So

388
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones six or six on third and once Burke's

389
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,960

Speaker 1: of the New York Giants. And as Bob described, they

393
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: faced a fourth and one at the Minnesota seven, eight

394
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty eight to go in the fourth quarter, game was

395
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: tied at twenty four. Brandable keeps his offense out of

396
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: the field. Daniel Jones up the gut for two yards,

397
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: set up a first thing going from the Minnesota five,

398
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: and after a defensive hold, st Karen Barkley ran over

399
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: his former teammate Dalvin Tomlinson hit route to his second

400
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: rushing score. They take a thirty one to lead and

401
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: that would be the five. As we welcome you back

402

Speaker 1: to Pepsi Giants extra point, Lance metal with you as

403
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: the Giants knock off the Vikings in the rematch, and

404
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: they finally hand Minnesota it's first loss in a one

405
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: score game. It was textbook football for the Vikings all season.

406
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: They thrived in these situations, came on the line in

407
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, needing to rally, needing to get a

408
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: field goal, a touchdown, you name it. Eleven times Minnesota

409
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: was put in that situation eleven times. Minnesota. One did

410
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: not happen in the postseason, as the Giants win by

411
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: seven and get their defensive stop when they needed it

412
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: the most, as McKinney came through holding t J Hackinson

413
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: in to just a three yard game on a fourth

414
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: and eight, well short of the first town marker. But

415
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: let's get back to the offensive side of the ball,

416
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: because clearly that was the biggest story, specifically Daniel Jones's performance,

417
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: and it brings us to the player. Press conference has

418
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: brought to you by MetLife, the official insurance company of

419
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. We're very own. John Schmilk had

420
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to catch up with Daniel Jones in the

421
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: locker room. All right, we're here at the locker one

422
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: on one with Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. Daniel, Boy, your

423
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: offense on fire again today. Why were you guys able

424
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: to move the ball as well as you did? Uh? Yeah,

425
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: I thought we had a great plan coming in. I

426
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: thought we were we were prepared well. Um, other coaches

427
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: died up some some really good stuff for us, and

428
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: we execute it well with the other guys up front.

429
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: Um played really well, control the line of scrimmage the

430
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: whole game, in the run game, in the past game,

431
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and and uh god, guys made plays for us. You're scrambling.

432
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: He picked up a lot of key first downs in

433
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: this game. What was it about the way they were

434
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: playing you that gave you those openings to make those

435
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: big plays on some of those scrambles. I don't know.

436
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: I think I just felt some space on some of

437
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: those plays, and our guys up front did a great

438
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: job with the rush and giving me some lanes and

439
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: and open it up for me. So I just try

440
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it when I could. You know,

441
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: we asked you all week about that first Viking game,

442
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: which just a few weeks ago. Right, did this game

443
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: feel just the tenor of it and how it went

444
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: very similar to that game when all was said and done. Uh? Yeah,

445
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: I feel it felt Uh I felt pretty similar. Um.

446
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: I thought our plan was similar, had some good changeups

447
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: and some different things here and there that kept them

448
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: on their toes. So a lot of credit to to

449
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: our coaching staff. I thought they did a good job.

450
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: And um yeah, I thought we played cleaner, We took

451
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: care of the ball better. Um we're better on third down.

452
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: So I think those were two big keys for us. Yeah,

453
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned taking care of the ball, right, the last

454
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: game did the two turnovers the block point didn't have

455
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: those today? Was that in the end, you think the

456
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: difference in the game. Uh? Yeah, I think that that

457
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: certainly did impact the result. And uh, you know, when

458
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: you play against a good team like that, you you've

459
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: got to take care of the ball and make sure

460
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: you're uh playing smart, playing the clean game. Did you

461
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: feel seeing how they were moving the ball up and

462
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: down that you guys didn't just need field goals or

463
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: hold the ball, that you needed to score touchdowns to

464
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: win this game? I mean, we're we're always trying to

465
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: score touchdowns, were always trying to put the ball in

466
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: the end zone and and uh, you know that doesn't

467
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: change week to week. So um, but defense played great.

468
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: They came up with some big stops there at the

469
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: end and and uh closed out the game. So a

470
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: lot of credits to them. All Right, finally he got

471
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: the Eagles next week, Round three, the only round two

472
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: for you, right, I know it's way Earli, but what

473
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: do you think about having to take on the Eagles

474
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: again to advance in the next round. Yeah, I mean

475
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: they're they're a good team, but um, you know we're

476
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna enjoy this one to night and get to work

477
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: here earlier this week early next week on them and

478
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: and uh you know, have another good week of prep.

479
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: So uh that's where where our minds are at right

480
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: now and and uh, you know, we gotta get back

481
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: and get to work. I should actually, by the way,

482
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: sorry for one more, but the first ever playoff game?

483
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Did it feel different? Was it different out there or

484
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: or did it feel like any other game to you?

485
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: There's definitely some uh anticipation and some hype going into it,

486
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: but once we settled in and played, uh, you know,

487
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: it's very very similar. Same things that win in the

488
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: regular season win in the postseason. Congratulations than all right, thanks,

489
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: all right. So that's Daniel Jones reflecting on their victory

490
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: over the Minnesota Vikings. He had a very efficient performance

491
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: both through the air and on the ground, and one

492
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: of his favorite targets Isaiah Hodgens, who led the way

493
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: with eight catches for a hundred five yards in a touchdown.

494
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: So let's put Hodgens in perspective here real quickly. He

495
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: scores a touchdown for the fifth time in the last

496
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: six games. This guy joined the team after the buy

497
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: off of waivers from the Buffalo Bills, and ever since

498
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: he's arrived, he has been the focal point of the

499
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: passing attack and has built remarkable chemistry with Daniel Jones.

500
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: Now he has his first career one hundred yard game

501
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: that he adds to his ever growing resume. In a

502
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: shortened season with the Giants, we had an opportunity to

503
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: catch up with him as well. In the locker room.

504
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm at the locker of Isaiah Hodgens consistent. I was

505
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: hearing there, but you know I'm playing But man, he

506
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: led it, he led us. Man, He's a he's a

507
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: field generals. So man, I'm just happy to be a

508
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: part of his squad. How about to play off your

509
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: defense there in the fourth quarter when the game was

510
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: hanging in the balance. It's I mean defense played the

511
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: ass off man, especially you know, closing out right there.

512
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: I made some young Dowe stepped up and made some

513
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: big place. You know that was huge for us about

514
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: this matchup that really put up numbers whom scored. Again,

515
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: the confidence level must have been high coming into Yeah,

516
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'll commenced several. Level is high

517
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: every week coming in. You know, not a lot of

518
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: people believe in us. You know, we're coming up with

519
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: that chip on our shoulder every single week, and just

520
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm going out there and try to prove people wrong.

521
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about playing fill you through. I mean,

522
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: you know it's the next game, so it's the most

523
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: important game. So you know, we got to do our

524
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: best to go back in the film room, go prepare,

525
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: go execute. See what we did wrong the first time,

526
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: and you know, fix that this upcoming time. What was

527
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: it about this matchup that made you, guys confident that

528
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: you could have success? Yeah, I mean I think just

529
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: how the first game went, you know that we know

530
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: we kind of let the game slip away, you know,

531
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, with a couple of turnovers that

532
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: we had, and you know, bad routes that you know

533
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: personally that I ran and some um you know, just

534
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: places that we could have execute better on. So you know,

535
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: we went to this game just knowing that we can't

536
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: kill ourselves and if we don't do that, then you

537
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: know we have good chance for coming out on top.

538
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Say you've got five touchdowns in the last six games.

539
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: What do you what do you say about that? Yeah?

540
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean it's a team effort, man, I know like it.

541
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: You know that's kind of like a cliche answer, but

542
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: it really is. Man on offense, I mean, you need

543
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: all the whiteouts to do the job. I mean to

544
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, make their right routes and reads, and the

545
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: quarterback to do this thing, the old line do the things.

546
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a credit to the whole whole team. Man,

547
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's easy just to you know point. Look,

548
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean by man, it's it's really a team thing, man,

549
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff for to everybody. So Hodgens and Isaiah brought

550
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: up two interesting points. He was asked about, well, why

551
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: did you feel you had confidence going into this game?

552
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: Not that a player is ever going to tell you

553
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: they're not confident going into a game. That will be

554
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: a first, but I'll maybe wait for that answer to

555
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: eventually emerge in some press conference or some media session.

556
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress it get back to the point

557
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: at hand. The first matchup, you look at the two

558
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: turnovers in Minnesota territory and the block punt, so they

559
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: essentially caught the ball up three times, and they also

560
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: had seven penalties. Well, we now moved the calendar forward

561
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: several weeks, no turnovers, clean football, and even with the

562
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: penalties they had five, but only two of them came

563
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. You had a

564
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Nick Gates holding penalty, which they were able to overcome

565
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: that was early in the game and then in a

566
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: legal shift which wiped out a score. Outside of that,

567
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: you didn't have those back breaking mental mistakes that were

568
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: apparent in the first matchup. So you go out, yeah,

569
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: four hundred thirty one total yards of offense in comparison

570
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: to four hundred forty five a few weeks ago. You

571
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: eliminate the three turnovers, you bring down the penalties, and

572
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: your yardage translates to one points. Very good chance. You're

573
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: gonna walk away with a win. And we're gonna get

574
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: into whether or not this offense can continue this pace

575
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: against an extremely different and much more powerful Philadelphia Eagles

576
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: defense as we move forward. But when we come back,

577
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the defensive perspective of the Giants, because

578
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: even Isaiah Hodgens was asked about it may have not

579
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: been smoothed the whole game, but when they needed to

580
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: make the stop against Kirk Cousins and company, that unit

581
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: came through. That's next as we move along here on

582
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,520

Speaker 1: but douth sa kuon Barkley and the Giants have the

589
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: lead with seven forty seven ago. We have the ball game,

590
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: and that brings us to the scoring drive of the game,

591

Speaker 1: took four forty seven off the clock, and it turned

595
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: out to be the game winning score. As the Giants

596
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: top the Vikings thirty one twenty four in Minnesota at

597
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium. They move on to the divisional round

598
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200

Speaker 1: get set to visit the Philadelphia Eagles for the second

600
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,440

603
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: from this contest. As today's stats are brought to you

Speaker 1: so good. We run you through. Daniel Jones as well

606
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: as the rushing numbers and Isaiah Hodgens top the list

607
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: in terms of the receiving aspect of the game. So

608
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: let's focus on the defensive side of the ball. Xavier

609
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: McKinney eight tackles to lead the way for the Giants,

610
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: including the game ceiling stop. He had four solo one

611
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: pass defense. Jalen Smith and the Dory Jackson each had seven.

612
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: They also each had six solo and Jalen Smith had

613
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: a tackle for a loss and a Dory One of

614
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: the biggest question mark coming in was how much was

615
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: he gonna play? Was he going to need to be

616
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: ease back in, was he going to be on a

617
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: pitch count? And Dory was extremely active and on the

618
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: field in this game. Cavon Thibodeaux made a number of

619
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: big tackles. Dexter Lawrence had six tackles, so did darn

620
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: A Holmes, including to apples for loss. So no surprise,

621
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: it was once again a team effort where everybody put

622
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: their stamp on this contest. They did not have a

623
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: sack after they sack Kirk Cousins four times. In the

624
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: first matchup. They were credited though with eleven quarterback hits

625
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: and if you ask Weake Martindale, he'll tell you I'll

626
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: sign up for the eleven quarterback hits because it at

627
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: least takes a toll on the offensive line as well

628
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: as Kirk Cousins throughout the game. And once again they

629
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: were able to apply some of the big hits and

630
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: the key stops with the game on the line. Speaking

631
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: of that, Zavian McKinney, we had an opportunity to catch

632
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: up with him in the locker room. Let's listen in

633
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: to what he had to say with the lockers. McKinney unt, Yeah,

634
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean same same effort, you know, defensive effort. We

635
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: did it collectively as a group. Um. But like I said,

636
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: I said it this a beginning of the week, right,

637
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: It's not impossible. Um, you just got can do a job,

638
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: and you know you can get even get it done,

639
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: and we gotta. We got a good enough defense to

640
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: do it, We got good enough place to do it,

641
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: so I know could be done. Did you sense the

642
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: frustration on Jefferson's Park, like you're out the game when

643
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: you guys were us. You know, I don't really know.

644
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't paying attention to it. Um, I was just

645
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: trying to do my job. Time you said it was

646
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: a team effort. How about your play to bring Hawkinson

647
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: down to get him off the field of the final possession?

648
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: Was that pretty special to you given how much you've

649
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: gone through this year? Yeah, it was, um, but I

650
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: do know we got another game to go, so it

651
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: didn't be too high on it. But I liked to play.

652
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: We got off the field and won the game, so

653
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: that was to play to win it. So what does

654
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: it say about your defense? You know, they drop on

655
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: you a couple of times around the game, they got

656
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: some touching. I don't when it came down to the end,

657
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: you guys got to stop when you needed it. What

658
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: is about this defense where you're able to have you

659
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: have some struggles but come back and make the place

660
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: when you Yeah, we never quit, man. We were resilient.

661
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: We played hard, and you know that's just a part

662
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: of our defense. That's something that we preach and Uh,

663
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: our main focus is we're just trying to attack every time.

664
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: We trying to make sure that, um, you know, the

665
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: offense as a score and uh, you know we have

666
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: something you said, we have some headcups here and there. Um,

667
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: but you know when it counted, we got to stop.

668
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: How about your offense in Daniel Jones today he held

669
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: job on the may on the row and uh, you

670
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: know him leading the way and uh. And I can't

671
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: give them enough credits to those guys because they they've

672
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: done a lot. That's McKinney. Earlier in the conversation, McKinney

673
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: was asked about Justin Jefferson, who finished with seven catches

674
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards. He had four receptions on the

675
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: first touchdown drive alone for the Vikings. The rest of

676
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: the game, Jefferson was essentially Casper the friendly Ghost. So

677
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: it says an awful lot about the Giants defense. It

678
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: was really t J. Hopkinson who killed them with ten

679
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred twenty nine yards and he had

680
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: thirteen receptions for over a hundred yards hit the first

681
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: match up. But they did not allow Justin Jefferson to

682
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: damage this game. And that was big because he came

683
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: on late. If you remember, in the regular season matchup,

684
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: he had to touchdown as he stuck through two Giants

685
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: defenders and was a big reason why they got set

686
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: up that sixty one yard field goal is he had

687
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: a catch and run on the seventeen yard screen. Dory Jackson,

688
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: I threw out his numbers earlier. This was his first

689
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 1: game in nearly two months. He had not played since

690
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: Week eleven against the Lions, when he suffered the knee

691
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: injury as a special team's return man. We also heard

692
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: from him in the locker room. Now we're gonna go

693
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: to the locker of a Dory Jackson and listen in

694
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: at practice. But then when you get a different speed, different,

695
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: it's different. No, I didn't. I missed seven. Is my

696
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: first game back since uh see what Thanksgiving? So I

697
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: just feel like I was giving my feedback wet and

698
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: you know I appreciated the the challenge, you know, to

699
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: go out there and actually get to compete. Um yeah,

700
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean I was there, but I grabbed Lane's um man.

701
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: I was really I thought he was gonna run it,

702
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: but I thought he was gonna through. So I think

703
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: me and Darnai were both hesitant and didn't know what

704
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: was gonna happened. Um but it was a great call

705
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: by us defensively to you know, It's one of those

706
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: things where if it was a different player call, maybe

707
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: would have work differently or whatever they be. We're just

708
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: in a great pet of call and it helped us

709
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: out a lot on that drives your easiest tackles. All Uh,

710
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 1: I almost thought of that thing though, So I want

711
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: to say it was that easy. It could have been,

712
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: but it wasn't that easy. But glad that the gang

713
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: was rallying. What do you think Brown and Dante Smith

714
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: should be thinking when they watch or world be thinking

715
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: should be when they watched the table what you did

716
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: against Jefferson? Um? You I'm not sure you know what

717
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 1: they're going Do you feel like that's sentence to those guys? Yeah,

718
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: I feel like they still gonna do. They do what

719
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: they do. Um. And then I said, that's a great offense,

720
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: two great receivers. I don't have a hell of a

721
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: quarterback offensively, they they just run it up. They they

722
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: are tough, so at the end of the day, they're

723
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: just gonna do what they do. But could you went

724
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: intowards the gratification afterwards? You've gone through the last two

725
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: months and this team is going through to get to

726
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: the point. Uh, you know, it's just a blessing. Obviously,

727
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: the you know, we started off you know what's seven

728
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: and two, um, and then we go through a streak

729
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: where we don't you know, play our best ball and

730
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: to get in the playoffs, and then we know that

731
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: it's just trying to win one game at a time. UM.

732
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: That's when one day, one practice, each rep and then

733
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: translate to the game, just give your opportunity. So UM,

734
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: So we're just you know, a lot of fight, a

735
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: lot of grit that goes throughout the week. And I

736
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: think we just want to get about tested throughout hitting

737
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: the anniversity that we hit and we just had fun

738
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: and join the moment Dorry Jackson. One of the things

739
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: that Dorry addressed in that conversation was on the second

740
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: possession for the Vikings, they faced a third and one

741
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: from their own thirty four and they try a little

742
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: trickery where Justin Jefferson received a snap and threw it

743
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: back to Kirk Cousins and a Dory was the one

744
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: that hustled to tackle Kirk Cousins out in open space.

745
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Two limited to a loss of two yards and they

746
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: wound up having to punt. It was a third and one,

747
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 1: which is an example of when you get a little

748
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: too fancy. It could come back to bite you, and

749
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: the Giants wound up getting the ball back. They went

750
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: four plays eighty one yards, they took a fourteen seven lead.

751
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: Clearly a lot happened after that, but if you're looking

752
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: for an early momentum swing in the game, I'd point

753
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: right to that because that was a huge stop. Viking

754
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: stay on the field with the way they were moving

755
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: the ball. Who knows how that drive plays out, the

756
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: fact that they got in early three and out after

757
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings look so good on that opening drive. That

758
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: was a big play and it was a sign that

759
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: a Dory did not need an additional quarter or two

760
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: to dust off some of that rust. We will step

761
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: aside when we come back. We'll hear from Sae Kwon

762
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: Barkley as the run game did a lot of the

763
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: heavy lifting on offense. And we'll also look ahead to

764
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: the matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles and get you caught

765
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: up with other playoff action. Earlier today, we had a

766
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: battle in Orchard Park between the Bills and the Dolphins,

767
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: and the Ravens and the Bengals are renewing their rivalry

768
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. We'll get you caught up on that action

769
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: and more as we move along here on Pepsi Giants

770
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Extra Point. You're listening to Pepsi Giants Extra Point on

771
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: the w f A n Giants Radio Network, broke to

772
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: you by PSC and G Mrs Daniel Bollinger, and you're

773
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: listening to the radio home of Big Blue the Fan,

774
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: w f A, n w F n f M, New

775
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: York Lands been up back here with you. Let's take

776
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: you through the playoffs scoreboard. We've got one game currently

777
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: in progress, early second quarter. It's the wild card game

778
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: between the Ravens and the Bengals in Cincinnati, and it

779
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: is the Bengals shutting out the Ravens nine nothing, Joe

780
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: Burrow just connecting with Jamaar Chase for a touchdown as

781
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is out gaining Baltimore in this game one fourteen

782
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: to twenty five in total yards. Remember, Lamar Jackson's still

783
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: sidelined due to that knee injury, so Tyler Huntley is

784
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: back in under center after Anthony Brown got the start

785
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: in the regular season finale, the rookie quarterback out of Oregon,

786
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: and Tyler Huntley one of two for seven yards with

787
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: an interception. So if that doesn't tell you how things

788
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: are going for Baltimore, then I don't know what else

789
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: to throw out here. Earlier today, the Bills rallied past

790
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins thirty to thirty one to advance to the

791
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: divisional round. Josh Allen turned the ball over three times,

792
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: including a lost fumble that was returned for a score,

793
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: but he bounced back with three touchdown passes to three

794
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: different targets. Two came at the third quarter in the

795
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: span of just over three minutes. Miami faced the fourth

796
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: and five from their own forty four yard line with

797
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: to go in the fourth, but Skyler Thompson's passed to

798
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: tighten Mike Asiki fell incomplete. The Bills then run out

799
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: the clock to seal it. Buffalo will either host the

800
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: Bengals or the Jaguars next weekend, depending on the outcome

801
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: of tonight's game between Sinse and Baltimore. If the Bengals win,

802
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: they will play the Bills. If the Ravens win, then

803
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: they will head to a matchup with Kansas City, So

804
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: it will be something to monitor as the night progresses here.

805
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: In terms of the NFL playoffs, that was the NFL

806
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: and action it was brought to you by bigelot, grab

807
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: a mug and t proudly as we welcome you act

808
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: to Pepsi Giants Extra point. We were recapping the Giants

809
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: victory over the Minnesota Vikings as they also move on

810
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: to the divisional round to play the Philadelphia Eagles, and

811
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: the rushing attack shined in this one. Thirty runs for

812
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: the Giants for a hundred forty two yards. Sae Kwon

813
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 1: Barkley had nine for fifty three, including two scores in

814
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: his postseason debut. Let's listen into what he had to

815
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: say when we caught up with him in the locker

816
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: room Worth. The locker of Sae Kwon Barkley would being

817
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: really loud at certain points. What was the communication like

818
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: and how did you guys manage to keep it together

819
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: and execute that? Obviously you can never really get Zack,

820
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, the Zach Reginald. What are you going to

821
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: get um? But we did a really good job of

822
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: locking in known cadence, knowing who we have known to

823
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: play and executing it. How much of that two yard

824
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: touchdown round is want to? And how much of a

825
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: winning a playoff game is I would say the whole

826
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: thing isn't want to um, you know on a two

827
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: yard run in the playoffs. It's that's how it is.

828
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: And that's why I've like, you know, that's why we're

829
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: confident group because we've been in these games all year.

830
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: The only difference with this game, if you don't win,

831
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: you go home. Uh so the stakes a little higher,

832
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: but we we find ways to to win games. We're

833
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: comparing for these moments all year. When you see it

834
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: throughout the whole first week of the playoffs, whether it's Jacksonville,

835
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, down by how many points of coming back? Um,

836
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: you know us come in and it's coming here in

837
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: this house sound environment. Um, it's all about the will too,

838
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 1: is all about the confidence and all about the belief

839
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: in each other. And you continually have that, um anything

840
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: you can go places. Not really getting to all that,

841
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just in the mood that, you know,

842
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: obviously happy that we won, but once to the next one,

843
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: go back watch film one. We could do about it

844
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: and you know, take care the next week. After years

845
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: teams having to be able to get through the playoffs

846
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: without the lead play from their quarterbacks, do do you

847
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: feel like you're having elite quarterback? I know they have

848
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: a eleaite quarterback and I think he's showing that multiple time.

849
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: But we also got amazing players around, so we got

850
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: his back no matter what. Let me just get you

851
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: guys want just going over. Obviously a big tacking a boat,

852
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: so I've been tramping times. It's just you guys. Obviously

853
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: wanted to come out and throw the ball, and he did.

854
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: Um you know we we I said earlier this week,

855
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: whatever I gotta do to hugging team one. Uh just

856
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: carried the ball if any times, if it's a block,

857
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: if it's running about as many times, that's what I'm

858
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: willing to do. Uh. We felt like we could throw

859
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 1: the ball on this team. Um we ran the ball

860
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: well too, to be honest, but um we got the

861
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: job done and put points on the board. Gave us

862
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: chance to win and decent closest off of us speaking

863
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: of anywhere it takes to win. Did you happen to

864
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: catch that block that Kenny through four years you were

865
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 1: going by solid? I saw that. I told him, I

866
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: said you couldn't get up and get the safety the

867
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: other day and he was like, come on, that's just

868
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta get a lot of respect to

869
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: to kg obviously the season has been gone. How how

870
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: he would want it? Um, And obviously you gotta say

871
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: whatever you guys wanna say about him. But he's a

872
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: talented player. He's a really good player. And I just

873
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: got respect the grit and the grind. If when thanks

874
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: are not going away, um, coming out you know a

875
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: week and Philly, uh playing every single snap and then

876
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: making a big play, um, and then coming in crucial, crucial,

877
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: crucial drive and making a big block tops convert in

878
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: the first twn. So hots off to kJ again. Of

879
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: course it's Philly, you know, so since it's gonna be

880
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: another house sound environment. Um, they got his first two times. Um,

881
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: but boys, chill out. They got the first two times.

882
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm really not getting too much of Philly,

883
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: to be honest and go. I want to go back

884
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: when it's playing Hydra watch film and getting and just

885
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: keep it like that. Squan or in the year when

886
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: your offensive success you were getting you know, touches in

887
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 1: this game, you didn't have to get that many touches

888
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: and the offense was rolling anyway, what does it say

889
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: about the growth of this unit and your quarterback that

890
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: the way this offense is now expanded where you're a

891
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: part of it, but not like right, Um, yeah, I

892
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: think it's hats off to all the guys. Offensive line

893
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: of Life series Titans dj um Calf designed that plays up. Uh.

894
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: You know we're finding find a rhythm. We felt like

895
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: we had a rhythm going in uh and in the

896
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: season final identity again we had a different identity in

897
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: the beginning season. Find a new identity. Um, and you

898
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: know we're sq and it and you never know, next

899
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: week could be a different you know, it could be

900
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: a different type of game. So I'm just ready for

901
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: whatever I need to do or coach asked me to

902
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: do and to see one and st Quon Barkley was

903
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 1: asked about his touches nine runs and then he had

904
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: five receptions for fifty six yards, so ultimately winds up

905
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: finishing with fourteen touches. But it was Daniel Jones that

906
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: led the way in the rushing attack with seventeen carries.

907
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 1: Is the Giants ran for nearly a hundred fifty yards.

00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: new York Giants. And another thing that came up in

912
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: that conversation with Sa Kwan Barkley was the block that

913
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay the roo for him, and I want to

914
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: take you back to when that happened. This was also

915
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 1: on what turned out to be the game winning drive

916
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: twelve play seventy five yards to make it a thirty

917
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: lead in favor of the Giants. So they were phasing

918
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: a second and ten for the Minnesota twenty six with

919
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: ten forty nine to go in the fourth and Daniel

920
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: Jones threw a short pass down into the flat to Barkley,

921
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: and it was Galladay that got out in front, and

922
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: whoever was in his way went down quickly, and Barkley

923
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: was able to at least maneuver through the Vikings defense

924
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: with a little bit more leeway, and then he had

925
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones take over with a five yard run and

926
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: they ultimately faced the fourth and one that Jones converted,

927
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: and two plays later it was Sae Kwon Barkley taking

928
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: it in from two yards out for his second rushing score.

929
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: And those little things they add up over the course

930
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: of a game, especially when we're talking about yet another

931
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: one score contest. And what was different about this game

932
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: is the fact that the Giants avoided the turnovers, the mistakes,

933
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: the mishaps, but they didn't avoid adversity because you had

934
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: Darius Slayden with an opportunity to close out this game

935
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: and not allow the Vikings to even sniff a possession.

936
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: Third and fifteen from the Giants forty one, three oh

937
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: seven to go in the fourth quarter. Daniel Jones perfect

938
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 1: pass over the middle to Darius and he was thinking

939
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 1: about what he was gonna do after getting the football.

940
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: The problem was he didn't secure the football, so they're

941
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: forced to punt. Vikings get the ball back with two

942
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: fifty six to go in the fourth. They still have

943
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: the two minute warning, they utilize all their time outs.

944
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: But Kirk Cousins, he had eight game winning drives this season,

945
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: most in the NFL, and this, of course wouldn't have

946
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: been a game winning drive had they had a successful touchdown.

947
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 1: But you put the Vikings offense out there, you forced

948
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: the defense to come through, and the defense had struggled

949
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 1: given the success of the Vikings drives and complementary football.

950
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: One out and we're not talking about perhaps a missed

951
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to close out the game because when the offense

952
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: couldn't seal it, the defense delivered vice versa. And that's

953
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: what you need when it comes to the playoffs. You

954
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: need all three facets to come through. As the Giants

955
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: answered the call, and up next the Philadelphia Eagles. We

956
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: don't know when, we don't know what time. We know though,

957
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: it will be that Lincoln Financial Field for the third

958
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: matchup this season. Well, stick with us if you're listening

961
