1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: All right, how you doing everyone? I'm Russ Salzburg along

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: with my pal had two times Super Bowl champion David Deal.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Welcome once again to Big Blue Kickoff live here on

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Giants dot Com. The number, as always the call is

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: to oh one nine four five one three are gentleman

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: of course the way helping us out, Pierson Butler and

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: Brian Khan fourth and Mr Deal. I've been real anxious

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: to talk to you because all of last season, as

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, if anything was viewed as the weakness, uh

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: the Achilles heel, if you will on this Giants team

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: was the offensive line. You're the expert, but you tell

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: me from the looks of things, I really believe that

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line this season, with the changes that have

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: been been made, plus a soldier and and Hernana, is

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: a year together under their belts. The cohesiveness on that side,

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I think the weakness from last year can be the

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: giant strength from this season, and it has to be

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: the strength for the Giants football team this season and

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: throughout the off season and up until this regular season game.

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: I've easily gotten over a million questions about the offensive line.

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: What does it look like? How much different are they going?

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: To be number one. Looking at the rebuilt entire right

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: side of the offensive line between Kevin Zeitler and Mike Remers,

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: you're talking about two gritty veterans that know the game

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: of football, that play through the whistle, and that are

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: perfect Giants guys. Both of those guys are guys that

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: would have fit in our offensive line room. Same thing

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: with the rest of the guys. You think about the

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: competition of Hallapeo coming back and Spencer Pully, which was

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: a great competition. This is barn On the best I've

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: seen John Hallopeo play since he's been here, and he

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: has that hunger to prove himself again coming back from

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: that injury. And then the offensive left side of the

34
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: offensive line between Hernandez and Solder now getting their second

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: season under their belt working together. Last year's reps were invaluable,

36
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: especially for Hernandez, just for the sheer fact that it's

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: an unknow own to how the NFL season goes, because

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: by week eight, you've played more football than you've ever

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: played in your life and you feel it on your body.

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: So the fact that they've had the entire offseason and

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: then they've had this training camp to completely mold together

42
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: in their second year of this offense. That's exactly what

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: you're looking for. You may look, well, Zeitler wasn't here. Well,

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: he was under coach Shermer before in Cleveland, so he

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: understands the system already. Well, Mike Remers wasn't here. Mike

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: Remmers played for Mike Schula in Carolina. So it's the

47
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: same type of schemes and design of what we're trying

48
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: to accomplish right now for the New York Giants. So

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you said that they have to be the strength of it,

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: and they most certainly do, because what's the one thing

51
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: that they can do. Obviously put production on the board,

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: but controlling the line of scrimmage in the time of

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: possession will help this defense greatly when we don't have

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: and one elite pass rusher and when it comes from

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: the group of a sum of a hole in that

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: one individual parts. So they've got to be the strength

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: of this football team. You know zeit are in particular.

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how much time you've spent. I have

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of time. He's an intense guy. Well, let

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: me tell you. He you know who he reminds me of.

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: He's not quite as tall as you. He reminds me

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: of you because when you talking to him, he brings

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: that intensity and you sense in a nice way he

64
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: just wants to knock you into the backfield when he's

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: talking to you. He brings that all the time. And listen,

66
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: I think he allowed something like one pressure all of

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: last seasons. Think that's insane, no question. And you bring

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: about that intensity and his work ethic and his routine,

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: that's something that bodes well. Not only him having that

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: routine and that consistency, because that's what being an offensive

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: lineman is about, but it rubs off on the rest

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: of the group. And when you have a veteran who's

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: played the way that he has in the NFL and

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: now becomes a part of a remold and a rebuilt

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: offensive line, those are the type of details that you

76
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: want out of everybody. So when one guy is doing it,

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: everybody else picks bonded and you could just see the

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: chemistry between the group going back to the offseason, spending

79
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: time together, eating lunch together, training. You know, all these

80
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: games on the road, the preseason games that I was

81
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: a part of, they were at dinner together, they'd go out,

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: they'd spend time. You have to build that cohesiveness in

83
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: that brotherhood that it's not just when the clock hits

84
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: at five thirty everybody goes and goes their separate ways.

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: And that's something that our group had still to this day,

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: I could call Kareem, Chris Sneeze Soyber if I needed

87
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: something and they'd be there. Because we had a group

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: that was called the worst offensive line in the NFL.

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: That our hard work, determination and us sticking together as

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: a group is what turned that around. And it's no

91
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: different for this group. You know, if it's funny that

92
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned at because I was laughing today watching Halapio

93
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: and Pulley together. They are me and my shadow all

94
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: the time. These are two centers together all the time.

95
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: And everybody said the same thing about me and Soyber

96
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: and then Kareem and Chris. That's how you build that

97
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: cohesiveness in that communication so that when you are out

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: on the field, it's second nature and we're really boats well.

99
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: For you is knowing on the road that you can

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: account for the guy with crowd noise and you know

101
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: exactly what each other are doing, all right. The number

102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: to call to a one four five one three. We

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: got some lines open, but before he gets to some

104
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: of the calls. All right, we're talking about this offensive line. Now,

105
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: one game you don't one game doesn't make your season

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: in a positive way or in a failure. However, it

107
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: is the season opener. Everybody gets amped up. But I

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: think in particular because we're talking about this offensive line,

109
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: they get a form of formidable test in the Dallas

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys because that's the pretty darned good defense that the

111
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: Cowboys are bringing. More. One thing that you know is

112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: anytime you face a rob marinella defense, they are playing

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: from snap until whistle and they're flying around to the football.

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: So this is one that we always say would cover.

115
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: We'd make sure that we covered an extra ten yards.

116
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: And you go get your running back and your wide

117
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: receiver out of the pile, because the last thing you

118
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: want is as your guy sitting there and looking up

119
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: at all those white jerseys and those stars above them.

120
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: You don't go and you don't do anything cheap, but

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: you make sure you go protect your guy, and you

122
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: also go and you fly around to the football in

123
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: case somebody comes to strip it and pop it out

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: so that you can get that fumble recovery as an

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: offensive line. But you know, obviously DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back.

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: You know he was lingered a little bit by an injury.

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: But you know that their group of playing in that

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: crowd noise week one up against the division rival, they're

129
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna be amped up, and the first thing that they're

130
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna do in their golden objective as a defense is

131
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: gonna do is stop twenty six. You know that that's

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: the case that they're gonna try to load the box,

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: get that extra man down there so that it is

134
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: forced into a one dimensional game for throwing the football.

135
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: So this is a great test for the offensive line.

136
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Week one, two oh one, nine four or five one

137
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: three is the number one. Remind everybody that big Blue

138
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Kickoff live here is presented as always by Corps Light.

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Let's open up the phone lines right now. Let's go

140
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: to Manhattan and check in with Antonio. Good afternoon, Antonio.

141
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: How you doing, Hey, what's going on? Guys? Has everything going?

142
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Everything's good? David, I have a question for you. What

143
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: do you think about the Giant ability to stop the

144
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: run game this week against Seek and that offensive line.

145
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Um My, my question is you know this, I think

146
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: This favors the Giants pretty well because we're gonna be

147
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: in base formation for the most part, because they're gonna

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: go to wide receivers maybe two tight ends. So do

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: you think, like, you know, at least up the middle,

150
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: we have kind of not not maybe not an advantage,

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: but it does play into our hands with our big guys. Well.

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: One of the things that you have to realize is

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: that they do have a new offensive coordinator and Kellen Moore,

154
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: So don't just think going into this game that they're

155
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna go big with only two wide receivers. They didn't

156
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: show anything like a lot of teams in the preseason,

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: so who does. You've got to be prepared for the unexpected.

158
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: But in regards to the run game of what they

159
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: want to do, they run a zone scheme. They do

160
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: run some power, but they're mainly trying to run either

161
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: off tackle or inside that play side guard, and they

162
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: want to work their double teams up to the second level.

163
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: So it's always precedent when you're running a zone scheme

164
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: that you have the one guy that holds up so

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the linebackers can run, but somebody has to get penetration

166
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: into the backfield to disrupt so the running back sees

167
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: color and it flashes backside to where the flow of

168
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: the defense is. So it's gonna be in paramount that

169
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: they test this offensive line fast and forced the football

170
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: into Dak Prescott's hands. And obviously the big signing of

171
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott today where it's everybody's talking about it, and

172
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: rightfully so when you get that amount of money and

173
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed and you're the number one highest paid running

174
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: back in the league, but you have to understand that

175
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a pitch count on them. I'm guessing

176
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be somewhere around thirty plays. I'm not just

177
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: saying runs, but plays in general, Yeah, I would. I

178
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: would think more than ten to fifteen runs. No, but

179
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying in general plays if that's including runs, whatever,

180
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: what might it be. But the thing that they have

181
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: to capitalize in is when Alfred Morrison, when Pollard's in there,

182
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: that's your opportunity to take control of the football game.

183
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: And one of the things about Zeke is he's an

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: unbelievable pass protector. Pollard gave up a sack up against

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: the Rams in the preseason, got Dak Prescott sacked, and

186
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: that's something that this Giant's defense they have to maintain

187
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: discipline and can't tip their hand on their blitzes of

188
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: what they're gonna throw because when he's in there, that's

189
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: your opportunity to capitalize and make a big play. Thanks

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: for to call Antonio, appreciate what I think. Go ahead,

191
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: we got you. Yeah, So I just want to want

192
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: my My biggest worried is containment harder. You know, this

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: is everybody's been hyping up the whole off season. I

194
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: think one now all the defensive linebackers need to contain

195
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: not only just the run because I think you mentioned

196
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a zone run Dak Prescott boot legging

197
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: out the act side. Yeah exactly. That's something that you

198
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna work on. They do in practice

199
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: the defense. There's a lot of scrambled drills or they run.

200
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: It's everything that's that play action is all make it

201
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: look and sound like runs. So everything looks the same,

202
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: and it is paramount for that backside defensive end to

203
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: keep his eyes and trust his eyes and don't flatten

204
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: down the line of scrimmage to allow Dak Prescott to

205
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: use his legs on the outside to force you to

206
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: play eleven on eleven football. You know, Uh, Pat Sherman

207
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: was asked all week, you know, how are you preparing?

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: Are you preparing for Um not Prescott for or uh

209
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, or you're not preparing And and you know,

210
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,239
Speaker 1: in fairness to the coach and listen, you know because

211
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: you were in the locker room, in the meeting rooms

212
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: with the coaches. You prepare for the team. You prepare

213
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: as if they're bringing their best. You prepare even if

214
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: there was no reports that uh signing was imminent. You're

215
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: preparing for him being there and anybody else being there.

216
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something else. I don't know if

217
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: it's a different position. I I but I think back

218
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: to Michael Strahan's last season with you guys, and he

219
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: was out the whole thing, you know, this season and

220
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: came back. And I remember the one thing of Tom

221
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: Coughlin said he was not worried about the shape that

222
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: stray would be in when he got here, because he

223
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: has too much pride in himself not to be in

224
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: shape when he comes in. And this is a Hall

225
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: of Fame player, without a doubt, and I Zeke's got

226
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: to be the same way, but it is a different position.

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: That's the one thing is that you know that they're

228
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: going to run the same type of offensive scheme. They're

229
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: not going to change it just because he's back. The

230
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: thing that you realize is is you have to game

231
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: tackle more than one player has to get on him

232
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: because of his ability to break tackles. So that's one

233
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: of the things. But you also have to consider. One

234
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: thing is training during the off season. Another thing is

235
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: building up that body callist getting used to being hit

236
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: and having the same type of type of conditioning that

237
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: you would have. There's nothing like playing a game on

238
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: Sunday with all of your energy and adrenaline roland that

239
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: sometimes if you don't tame it sometimes in pregame huffing

240
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: and puffin. So we're talking about a player that did

241
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: do conditioning. We know, I'm sure that he's come back

242
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: in physical shape, but it's another thing when you put

243
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: on those pads and you're trying to break tackles because

244
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: that muscle memory isn't there for me, and you know what,

245
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna feel it more not going into the game,

246
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna feel it more a day or two afterwards.

247
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: I remember Lawrence Taylor Lt. Came in also late one year,

248
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: and he actually had a good game when he came back,

249
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: and I think a couple of sacks, But I remember

250
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Parcells tell us like a day too later, kind of

251
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: have those the swimmers legs and you know, feeling a

252
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: little bit heavy and the other thing to go along

253
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: with it. This is a chance to capitalize on with

254
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: the lack of him being hit, to try getting that

255
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: ball out, stripping the ball, ball security. Those are opportunities

256
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have as long as, like I said,

257
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: you Gang Tech want to have more than one man

258
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: to the football Listen, Dallas and Giants is always a

259
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: big game. It's a heavyweight fight. Always the first game

260
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: in the season, the anticipation, the excitement of the new season. Also,

261
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: this is a new look Giants team, so there's a

262
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of excitement around game one. Let's go to north

263
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Bergen now and check in with Brian. Hello, Brian, how

264
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: are we doing today? Hello? Gentlemen? How you doing doing great? Good?

265
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm actually today in Nashville, so I get

266
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: a chance to cheat from work and talk to you guys.

267
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: You're not in a low cubical voice at work. That's nice. Hopefully.

268
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Now what's listening to me? Okay, we won't tell. If

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: you won't tell exactly, don't tell. Please, don't tell me.

270
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: Don't tell anybody. So, you know a couple of things. Um,

271
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: you guys bring up great points. Uh uh you know

272
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: the Ezekiel Elliott you know obviously, Uh, you know the

273
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: former athlete played I played basketball in college. But you

274
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: know it, there's nothing like game camp competition. I don't

275
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: care what anybody says it. There's nothing. You can't emulate it.

276
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: You cannot simulate it in anything. And so I think,

277
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, you may be okay this week, maybe it

278
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: won't affect until the following week, but I think chances

279
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: are you know, you're not gonna You can't think that

280
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, you can't you know, look at

281
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: and say, wow, we gotta you're going to have a

282
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: better chance of winning because he can't look that way.

283
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: But I would think he's gonna come in and not

284
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: be a pent. I mean that's just my opinion. I

285
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna change the outlook to the game,

286
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: but um, you know, I think like you, like you said,

287
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: David does an opportunity, maybe you strip the ball away

288
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: here there you might have you might have something work

289
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: in your favory. It can't hurt. I guess that might

290
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: be exact point. And you know, since you say it

291
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: can't hurt, take it as David just said, here, maybe

292
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: strip the ball or whatever. Just take advantage of the

293
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: opportunity if it's there. But yeah, you're right. So and

294
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: my other point is, you know, I think it's gonna

295
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: be I really feel and this is not the disparaging

296
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: of the teams we have, but it's like you can

297
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: see a little bit the camaraderie. I really feel like

298
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, people say all the time, but the talent matters.

299
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: I think the locker room is is equally as important.

300
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: I know that for a fact. I mean I just

301
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: know teams that have I played with the turn things

302
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: around just because somebody took accountability, or or just the

303
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: closest of a younger group. You know, I know that

304
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: you know either one. You know you speak to this,

305
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: but I would think defensively, because it's a young group,

306
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the only concern is how many games it takes for

307
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: them to feel comfortable and feel confident. Uh that they

308
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: can do this, right, you don't know if there's a

309
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: couple of games latency period before they really come together

310
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: and and you know, hopefully maybe the offense can help

311
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: with that or you know, maybe I'm wrong about that,

312
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: but that'd be My only concern is that they kind

313
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: of feel in way there's themselves around a little bit

314
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: like we can really do this. You know, we can

315
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: rush the quarterback, we can stop the run, and and

316
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: those types of things. I think till gonna be a

317
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: good defense. Yeah, you know what, looking at the schedule,

318
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: and you know, David, I'm interest to hit what you

319
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: have to say as well. Looking at the schedule, and

320
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: everybody is guilty of this. They look at the schedule

321
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: and said, well, you know these are especially the first four,

322
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: they're they're winnable games. Okay, in the winnable games to me,

323
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's when it bites you on the key star.

324
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Don't assume it's a winnable game. And and sometimes the

325
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: games that you look at, the tough games of the

326
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: games you play well, as Sherman said, they keep everybody

327
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: wants him to put a number. You know, what do

328
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: you want out of this season? Everybody wants to say,

329
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: like what we're gonna make the players are gonna be

330
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: nine and seven, gonna be ten and and Sherman says

331
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: all the time, we're there to win every game, and

332
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: right now we're just worried about this game. And that's

333
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: not coach speak, it's common sense speak if you're in

334
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: the business of of being the head coach or a player.

335
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: I know PA players do not look at head players

336
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: look at what's in front of where you can. You

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: can't look at it, especially when you're opening up against

338
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 1: a division rival, because we know in the back end

339
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: of the season, when you're in December, you want to

340
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: rely and you want to set the table yourself. You

341
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: can't look at well, we need this team to lose.

342
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: We need this team to win and not be in

343
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: control of your own destiny. The one thing I will say,

344
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: to go back to the beginning of your call, Brian,

345
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: this team has three times the amount of chemistry then

346
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: the team had last season. You could see throughout training

347
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: camp you could see that this team gets along, They

348
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: love each other. They spend time with each other off

349
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: of the field, just like I was talking about the

350
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: offensive line. But they're not the only group doing it.

351
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: The big thing when you have a young defense, which

352
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,479
Speaker 1: I saw him working it on during the walk throughout

353
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: their communication on the road, that's gonna be the thing

354
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna set them apart, that will help them start

355
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: fast is making sure that alignment assignment. Hey, who gives

356
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: a crap if they figure out what you're doing, as

357
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: long as you do your job and maintain discipline. So

358
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: that's one of the big things that comes up with

359
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: a big young group, especially on the defensive side of

360
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: the ball, is hammering out all the communication during the

361
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: week so that it comes second nature during the game.

362
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, Yeah, one of the guys, absolutely right.

363
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: You know, the longer I become a spectator less I

364
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: think about these things, right, you think you you cheat

365
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: about Yeah, we'll win this game. Love again and it's

366
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: it's it's you become a spectator that you know to

367
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: the sport as opposed to when you're playing. But my

368
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: last point, I want to stay positive. Let you guys go.

369
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm a usual manning Fami. I bleed you

370
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: Eli and uh um. I think uh not only he

371
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: helped win super Bowls that you know, he's got that

372
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: ability to slow the game down. I mean maybe maybe

373
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: one or two two uh quarterbacks in this era have

374
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: been been able to raise a game like this level.

375
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: But I just hope that the media and we have

376
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: to mention names. Let's help the media. Brian doesn't ilify him.

377
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: Hey will, and I'll tell you something else, Brian, I

378
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: said it to somebody today. The Giants can win the

379
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm telling you the Giants can win the

380
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this season, or really, they can win the

381
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this season. And Eli kid right off into

382
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: the sunset with his third Super Bowl m v P Trophy.

383
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: And you know what, what's gonna happen. The media will

384
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: criticize the Giants going into next season. They didn't think

385
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: ahead and give Daniel Jones any snacks. No, that that's

386
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: the way I think. And I'll tell you the converse

387
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: of that is he can throw. Eli can throw four

388
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns this week, let's say, and and god forbid, the

389
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: defense doesn't play up to snuff and they lose. Uh,

390
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta start thinking about Daniel Jones. That's

391
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: just the nature of the beast. If you're not complaining,

392
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: you're not alive today. That's what it is. I'll tell

393
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: you this brand. And I'm not just saying this because

394
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have two super Bowl rings if it wasn't

395
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: for him. But this is easily the best I've seen

396
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: Eli Manning throw the football since his second year in

397
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: this saw offense under Pat Shermer. Now going back to

398
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: the footwork that he was comfortable under, you know that

399
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: changing to the macado, the reverse footing as a quarterback

400
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: and as a dropback quarterback. When you're doing that as

401
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: a veteran and that's not the way that you plant

402
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: your feet and set up, that's difficult to try to overcome.

403
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: So he's throwing the football extremely well. He's leading this

404
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: team the way that he should, and that that's the

405
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: thing that you have to think about is preseason, Daniel

406
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: Jones looked unbelievable. But you're not getting rolled coverages, you're

407
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: not getting disguised coverages, you're not really getting blitzed. And

408
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: go back to last season with all those rookie quarterbacks

409
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: that started figure three head coaches lost their jobs starting

410
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. And I'm not going to mention the name

411
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: about the other team that's in this city, but just

412
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: look at the development of what he played in the

413
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: second half after he got hurt. He threw two two

414
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: interceptions or two touchdowns is what was at seven or

415
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: nine interceptions, and then the count came in. He was

416
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: able to digest what he was doing, learned from a

417
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: veteran by watching, by watching, and a completely better down

418
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: the stretch. There's no better example for Daniel Jones to watch,

419
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: especially when you are facing a rob Marinelli defense, and

420
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: the type of defense is that will face this early

421
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: in the season. All right, Brian, okay, thank you, you

422
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 1: got enjoy you know, just if nothing I some of

423
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: the remarks that we heard. You know, Eli, he can't

424
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: get the ball out fast enough. You can't get the

425
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: ball out fast enough if you're on your back. He's

426
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: got a new and much improved offensive line, exactly exactly.

427
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: So it's not just the protection, but it's also the

428
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: run game that comes with that. It's just and also

429
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: throwing the X factor who wasn't there in the beginning

430
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: of the last season that blew up in the second half,

431
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. He was injured throughout that entire time. And

432
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: when you're a wide receiver and it comes down to

433
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: timing and route and comfortable in the system. He's got

434
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: that now, so you have that ability to create matchups,

435
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: whether it's in line, at the slot or even at

436
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: X with Evan Ingram, that's gonna be a complete matchup

437
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: nightmares for defense to go up against. Pauli Dotts and

438
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: I were talking about that yesterday. You know, all all

439
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: players have certain goals. You asked, what are your goals are?

440
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: You talk to Evan and his goal is I want

441
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: to be healthy for all sixteen games. And that is

442
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: so important for this team. I mean, he looked great

443
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: the back end of the think about his first season.

444
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: He had the case of the drop last offseason. Before

445
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: the season, that's all the worked on. He didn't have

446
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: a drop last season. He looked everything in, took it

447
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: all in. But then it was the health aspect. He

448
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: has to be the lynchpin and he's got to be

449
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: the player of the year for this offense to really

450
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: excel and take pressure off of se Kwan Barkley. Two

451
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: O one four five one three is the number again.

452
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: Want to remind you folks that big Blue Kickoff live

00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: for your contributions with our Super Bowl Championship runs. Are

461
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: really appreciated. It's a pleasure to talk to you very much.

462
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: What's up, buddy? How can we help you? What do

463
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: you got? Hey? I'm in agreeance with Paul De Tino

464
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: and John Schmell when when they commented on that we

465
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: have the most talented roster that that's been here in

466
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: a few years, and they were suspecting as I was,

467
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: that we were going to have a lot less waiver

468
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: wire claims that we had in years passed, and yet

469
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: we still made several moves in that area. Now, I

470
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: just want to get a player's perspective, perspective, Dave Um,

471
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: if you're hearing from your head coach that love everybody,

472
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: we love all ninety and yet guys are out the

473
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: door and we're bringing in guys who haven't been in

474
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: our system and our training camp, and we're bringing guys

475
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: off the street that don't know our system. How has

476
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: that received in the locker room? Well, you know that

477
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: this is a business. I mean, I think about how

478
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: many players over eleven seasons I saw come in and out,

479
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: and it's not because they're not a great person. It's

480
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: not because they're a great guy to have in the

481
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: locker room. They just didn't fit the bill. This is

482
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: a uh profession that it's all about performance. And you

483
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: understand that as a player, because each one of us

484
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: has an expiration date on us. Whether you pull yourself

485
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: off of the shelf or they pull you off of

486
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: the show, it's gonna happen at some time. Obviously, when

487
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: it comes to bringing in new guys, it's done for

488
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: a reason. This roster has been completely turned over from

489
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the time that Dave Gotaman took over in pat sherm

490
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: or here because maybe that player may have not been

491
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: in the right scheme and their team, but he fits

492
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: the mold of what exactly this football team needs. So

493
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: in regards to that, as veterans, when those guy has

494
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: come here, you help him out as much as possible

495
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: to get up to speed to learn the playbook, knowing

496
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: that he was brought in twin football games. You just

497
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: that's the way that you look at it, you know,

498
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: Ian coach Sherman said on Monday, after all the deals

499
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: were done, you know, and they looked over the wave

500
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: of wire. You know, he reiterated again, he said, yeah,

501
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: I love the fifth, I love my fifty three, and

502
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: I loved the ninety. But you gotta remember something in

503
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: that ninety. He was loving that ninety before what became

504
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: available to him and specific needs. As Dave just said

505
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, that's all that is. There's no

506
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: ill feeling. I mean not in a lock of you

507
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: know that. That's everybody knows. Is part of the business.

508
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: And I and the other thing that I'll tell you

509
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: that not a lot of fans know is that each

510
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: and every Tuesday during the regular season, not only is

511
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: it the player's day off, but there are at least

512
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: twenty two free agents that come in every Tuesday for

513
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: ever the NFL organization to work out for that team.

514
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about just free agents from college.

515
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: There are sometimes big name players that are coming in

516
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: to work out. And that's something that you realize is

517
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: that there is no guarantee. You have to earn your

518
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: job each and every Sunday, and the minute that you

519
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: come with complacent about it, that's when you're gonna start

520
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: not playing your best football. And that's when you're gonna

521
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: be out the door. And that's happened from the time

522
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: I got here, and that's gonna happen throughout the rest

523
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: of the NFL because this is a win business. That's

524
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: what it's about. You think about winning championships. We had

525
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of turnaround in those seasons to bring

526
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: in players that fit the mold, not only of what

527
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: we're doing scheme wise, but we're giants, guys that were

528
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: great in the locker room, and that's what they're doing.

529
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you say goodbye to the guy in

530
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: the locker next to you. It's your friends and you

531
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: hate to see him go. But in it's the business,

532
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: the one percent that make it. That's it, alright, buddy.

533
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: It's like, I appreciate the answers and it's kind of

534
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: along the lines what I was thinking. I just wanted

535
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: to get your perspective. I mean, it's wow, it's really

536
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: that cutthroat business. Alright, wow, okay, And also I just

537
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: wanted to comment Also I think that, um, we're being

538
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: underrated this year. I think Gettleman should you know, all

539
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: of his uh, he gets a lot of negative, but

540
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the positive all the players he's brought

541
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: into this league. And right now people about Christian McCaffrey,

542
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: say Koin Barkley. That never gets commented that Gettleman's one

543
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: that brought them in and yet everything negative is brought

544
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: on him. I think he's we're rebuilding and retooling at

545
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: the same time, and I think we're gonna be competitive,

546
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: and I think unlike the Dolphins as you're seeing, Um,

547
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a good year and we're

548
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna surprising people. We love you're your mouth, your mouth

549
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: to God's ear z and thank you for the call.

550
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: And I love when people don't expect things and you're

551
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: under the radar because you don't have any expectations, you

552
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: don't have anything from the outside end. All that matters

553
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: is this locker room, these players and this staff to

554
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: bring it out. And we've always had our best seasons

555
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: when people didn't expect us to win Super Bowl. You

556
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: know what, Uh, David. I think part of the problem was,

557
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: you know, in particularly with a lot of members of

558
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: the media as well as fans, and I'll even say

559
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: it media more so, people didn't realize the work that

560
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: needed to be done. When Dave Gettleman came in, I

561
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: mean he we Paul and I will talk about it yesterday.

562
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: This job was not for a first time GM. It

563
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: was for a veteran GM who had been through it before,

564
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: and he listened. He's a longtime personnel guy who was

565
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: with it, took the Panthers to a Super to a

566
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. There were a lot of things that needed

567
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: to be fixed, and he went about it, and some

568
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: of the decisions were unpopular decisions. Think about this for us,

569
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: probably four weeks ago during training camp practice, straight was

570
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: out here when I was working talking to stray Me, him,

571
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: Tyree and my Bradshaw. We're all bs in watching practice

572
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: and straight An goes man. I can't believe looking at

573
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: the roster that only Zach Diassi and Eli Manning are

574
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: the guys that I played with. He retired in two

575
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. I retired in and those are the

576
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: only two guys I played with. Is that there? You go?

577
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: Think about that. It is a complete different roster that

578
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: they had to rebuild from the inside and now, and

579
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: that's why you've seen as many transactions as they've had

580
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: to build the football team. The word is now and

581
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: where it we'll go. Yeah, I think it's real interesting,

582
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, and we've heard we Paul and I spoke

583
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: a lot about it yesterday. You heard it last year,

584
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: and it's carried into this year. Both Dave Gettelman and

585
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: Patrima got to get the right culture, got to get

586
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: the right culture. They believe they have the right culture.

587
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: And now what Pat said today, now you gotta uh

588
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: show it. You know now that the culture is all fine.

589
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go and make a productive Let's go

590
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: to Freehold and check in with Mike. Hello, Mike, you're

591
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: on with Russ and Dave. He's got a phone call

592
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: and Mike, Mike, uh, mikey sorry that you know that

593
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: there used to be a five thousand dollar five coach Coughlin.

594
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: If you hear the phone go off and been a

595
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: meeting or a call, go ahead, Mike, we won't find

596
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: you all. So I'm wondering because the Eagles pick up

597
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: low letta, um, how much of a concern. Is that

598
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: really is it? You know? Do they really in essence

599
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: like have our playbook now? I mean, listen, there's film

600
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: out there from all of last season, so it is

601
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: what it is. But you change the verbiage each and

602
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: every week, you change the signals between the wide receivers

603
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: each and every week, and you're gonna game plan each

604
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: and every season differently for that football team based upon

605
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: the roster and what you think the strengths and weaknesses are.

606
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: So it may play and do a factor just because

607
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: he's been here before and they're gonna ask him. But

608
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: when it comes game time, I mean, Doug Peterson and

609
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: Pat Sherman know each other and they know what they've

610
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: been running since they've started. So if you really want

611
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: to get anything, all you have to do is look

612
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: at sixteen weeks of football lest year and it's all

613
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: out there. But players move around all the time. You know,

614
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: it's not just because he's a quarterback. Players move around

615
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: all the time. So you can say that anybody who

616
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: goes to any other team and Sutfeld is gonna come

617
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: back at some sea at some point at the season.

618
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think we'll let o be there anymore? Alright, Mike, alright,

619
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: you got okay. I think Mike sounded like he might

620
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: have been getting the grocery list or something. Yeah, I

621
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: gotta filling out. Was that with the old ring of

622
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: dinga dinga? Dude? All right, let's again to a one

623
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: nine four five one three is the number. Let's check

624
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: in with Dylan in Watertown. Hello, Dylan, how are we doing? Hey,

625
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: how's it good? What's all right? Um? I haven't called

626
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: in a really long time, probably since last season. Um, yeah,

627
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: is this the Dylan? Um you graduated last year? Correct? No? Okay, Yeah,

628
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: how you doing, Buddy? Good? Good? Are you good? What

629
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: can we do for you today? Um? Why? Two things?

630
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: Boats have to do with the Giants defense. Um. One

631
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: of them obviously, we saw that Ezeki Elliott signed today,

632
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: and I know Jerry Jones tried to, you know, play

633
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: it off that Pollard would you know, carry the load

634
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: and he'd still be, you know, maintaining the rushing for

635
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys even if Zeke wasn't playing. But obviously now

636
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: there's a huge difference in game plan and prep for

637
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: the Giants. But I think probably I'll let the still

638
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: that's still the same game plan, it's still the same

639
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: way to attack. It's just like I was saying earlier,

640
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: that you make sure that you have two guys around

641
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the football because Zeke's a much bigger back and can

642
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: break the tackles. And the one thing that you have

643
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: to do is know that he hasn't been hit and

644
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna try to strip that football off to hopefully

645
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: ball security. So I don't think I prep ration it's

646
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: going to change anything. And in regards to the Dallas

647
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense and him running, like I was saying earlier,

648
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: I think that it may be only to thirty snaps,

649
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: not carries, just snaps in the football game, knowing that

650
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: with the adrenaline with him not playing, he's not gonna

651
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: be able to be out there the full time. And

652
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: if you go back to two weeks ago, what was

653
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones main concern when he said, Ezeke Galiott, Well,

654
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: this may go on as long as possible. We need

655
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: him healthy for the playoffs. So you know they're thinking

656
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: long term with the week one with him, but without

657
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: him being there, I I think you know what it

658
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: would have been shame on the Giants. And what we

659
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: discussed is I don't know if you caught us at

660
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: the open, Dylan, Uh, it would have been shame on

661
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: the Giants if they were not preparing. I mean, coach,

662
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: every coach is gonna prepare as if the best the

663
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: the opposition is bringing their best, that's just what Whether

664
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: whether they heard that there was going to be a

665
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: contract extension nearby or not, you got to prepare that one.

666
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: And when you have two different backs, it's the same

667
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: exact run call, just the players have different characteristics and

668
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: how they go about it, and that's something that this

669
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: Giant's team knows. Yeah, And I think it's actually a

670
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: good thing that Zeke is playing because I think it's

671
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: a big test for the Giants run defense, because I

672
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: know they've struggled for a couple of seasons and there's

673
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: a lot of different faces and changes on the defense,

674
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: So I think it'd be a good test to go

675
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: up against Zeke. And earlier you were talking about um

676
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: like Eli and be as here the two remaining guys

677
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: from when you played in and I actually looked it

678
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: up and I was just curious. But the last time

679
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the Giants made the playoffs in the defense has changed

680
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: so much that only Genor Schenkins is the remaining guy

681
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: that team, and that that just shows how much you know,

682
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: the defense has been going in turn over and stuff. So, um,

683
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: it'll be a big test, but I think it's a

684
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: good test for them to, you know, go against Zeke

685
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: and see how they can get to run defense going

686
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: again and just to form that defensive um form again.

687
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: Not only is it a good test about going up

688
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: against Zeke, but they also have more additions to that offense.

689
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: You have to think about Amari Cooper, now, Randall Cobb

690
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: coming over from the Green Bay Packers, Michael Gallup going

691
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: into a second season. So there is a lot of

692
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: challenges that are gonna be faced this week. And that's

693
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: exactly what you want as a football player. You want

694
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: to play up against the best. You want to be

695
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: challenged because that's what's gonna make you better as a

696
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: football team, and that's why you play this game. All right,

697
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: del yep, alright, alright, Dylan, talk to you again, buddy,

698
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Two one four, five, one three

699
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: you mention talking about the Giants defense. You know which

700
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: guy I really want to see from this season. He's

701
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: entering his third season. He he was good last season.

702
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: I like him to be very good this season, and

703
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: I certainly think it's there for him to do it.

704
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson, Yeah, yeah, Dalvin Tomlinson has gotten so much

705
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: better with his uh, just a second backup move. What

706
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: we always talk about with young defensive players, whether it's

707
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: a d tackle or a defensive end, having that secondary move.

708
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: You're playing up against veterans that have played a lot

709
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: of football, and a lot of times in college, we

710
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: could say you're a one trick pony because that one

711
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: thing that you do, you can beat everybody at the

712
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: college level. Now, it's about building a repertoire of a

713
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: secondary backup dimnute. He stops one thing, you naturally go

714
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: into a rip or to a swim based upon the

715
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: leverage that the offensive line has on you. The one

716
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: thing that we knew about him coming out and even

717
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: that he's hold up well since is he is one

718
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: of the best disciplined players with technique up against the run,

719
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: hands always inside, always lifting and shedding and creating that

720
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: separation so that if a running back comes, either you're

721
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: knocking the offensive lineman into him or you're shocking him.

722
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: And what does that allow your linebackers to do run free.

723
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: So that's something that he definitely has gotten much better at.

724
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: And I'm excited about this group up front, b J

725
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: Hill coming in now. The one thing that he'll have

726
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: to do is once again, he had those sacks last year,

727
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: but some of them came in uncontrolled settings to where

728
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 1: he wasn't blocked on a couple of them. He's got

729
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: to show that he can take that next step as

730
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: a d tackle. And you know, let's not forget one

731
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: of the main reasons, and this was part of the

732
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: Dave Gettleman building. One of the main reasons, uh snacks

733
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: Harrison was traded last year because they wanted to make

734
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: sure that more of that playing time went to the

735
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: BJ Hill and Dalvin Thomas. And thinking about last year

736
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: going into this year, that was all part of the plan.

737
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: Snacks wasn't traded because he was a bad guy, not

738
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: not at all, or he wasn't a talent. And think

739
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: about that, we got a draft pick four and you

740
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: have to remember all those people that were in an outrage.

741
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: Snacks Harrison wasn't there Derne the entire off season and

742
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: just showed up at training camp. Because he still has

743
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars left on his contract and wanted another deal.

744
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: What do you think would have happened here with another

745
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: distraction before training? Very very good point, and I just think, um,

746
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: you know another guy who was drafted last year, if

747
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: you remember, we didn't get to see much of him

748
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: because he was hurt and McIntosh, Yeah, he played a

749
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,479
Speaker 1: lot during the preseason. He's a big body, Miami guy,

750
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: is tough, He's played up against great competition. He's one

751
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: of those guys that in that rotation it's gonna have

752
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: to step up and play well. And the one thing

753
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: that you know is when you can control the inside

754
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and you can stop the run with

755
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: these guys, that's what's gonna allow to be able to

756
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: get pressure and sex on a quarterback by the whole

757
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: group by being able to disguise numbers, by able to

758
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: show that when you put any offensive line in third

759
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: and lungs, and I don't care if it's one of

760
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: the best ones in the league, that's where you have

761
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: them on their heels and you can take advantage of

762
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: it and capitalize in big ways. Because we know, momentum wise,

763
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: all it takes is one big hit, one interception and

764
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: the momentum can swing your way. With that takeaway, Well,

765
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 1: you and I haven't discussed it. We haven't even really

766
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: discussed it, David. If the was there any moves made

767
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: or not made that kind of surprised you with the roster,

768
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: not really. Yeah, you know, people are kept asking me

769
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: about Loletta, and I'd to view it as a surprise

770
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: one way or the other. It was going to be

771
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: either he or Tanny, and we're talking about the guy

772
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: who's gonna be third string. Yeah, But the big thing

773
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: about that is is which one of those guys that

774
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: are gonna help Daniel Jones develop? And that's Tammy. Tanny

775
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: would be able to do that while Lioletta doesn't have

776
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: the experience and needs to work on things himself. When

777
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: you have a quarterback like Jacob Tammy that can or

778
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: Alex Danny that can do that, that's gonna help Daniel

779
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: Jones developed, not just by watching Eli, but being able

780
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: to lean on another veteran in that room. You think

781
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: about the times that we're here when Tim Hasselback was

782
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: our backup quarterback for those years with Jared Lorenzen. His

783
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: knowledge and understanding of the game is one of the

784
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,280
Speaker 1: things when just the quarterbacks are sitting in that room,

785
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: you may see something one way, I may see it

786
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: the other. We both both were probably right, but it's

787
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: the perception of how you can look at it that

788
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: can completely change everything. That's why we always watched offensive line.

789
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: We always watch film together as a group, and we'd

790
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: watch it as an offense and if anybody had something

791
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: to say or talk about it, you can lean on

792
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: other guys that have the experience in order to do that.

793
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 1: You know, when we were talking about this yesterday, Paula

794
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: and myself with the Cailers, and it's not a question

795
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: that we were saying, it's not a question of quote

796
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 1: unquote babysitting. It's a listen. If anybody is the mentor

797
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: or the guy that you're gonna follow emulate, is the

798
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: guy who's locker is next to yours, then put Daniel

799
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: Jones is next to Eli for a reason, and if

800
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: you see them one, you're gonna see the other pretty

801
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: much every day walking through the holes or also, and

802
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: that's the job of also. That's why there's a quarterback coach,

803
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: and that's why there's an offensive coordinator. That's why they

804
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: have those titles is the groom and make young players

805
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: better and learn the system. Yeah, we were talking Yester

806
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: about intangibles, and it's not to knock on Kyle, but

807
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: he was the second year. Tanny is older, thirty one,

808
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: been around the block, more knows the ropes. It's and

809
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: it's a comfort zone. And it's a comfort zone if

810
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: God forbid, something happens to Eli where he's not playing,

811
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: and then you know, you move up the ladder. You

812
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 1: want that veteran presence at least to go around. It

813
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: gives everybody of a feeling of comfort. Again. Two o

814
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: one four five one three is the number we were

815
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: talking about. You know, importance of the victory. Again, you

816
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: don't win the season on the opener. You don't lose

817
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: the season on the opener. And most coaches, while we

818
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: were saying, players don't look ahead, they look at the

819
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: game that's in front of them. But coaches, every coach

820
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: that I've ever met here with the Giants or the Jets,

821
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: they all would say that the same thing, you look

822
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: at where you are after quarters, after the four four games,

823
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: that it's all games at a time. We did not

824
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: looking into it, but looking at because that's the only

825
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: way that you can look at it. And the only

826
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: thing I always say this, people like you never look

827
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: like past that. The only time I would look to

828
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: the future of the schedule was when the schedule came out.

829
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay we're playing here, Okay, we're going here. But as

830
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: a player, you can't ever look past any team whatsoever,

831
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: because that's when you go out there and you don't

832
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: prepare the way that you should or play the way

833
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 1: that you should, because you take somebody for granted. Also

834
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: would do good football teams they beat the crap out

835
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: of the teams that they should. That's what good football

836
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: teams do. They practice and prepare it like they lost

837
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: their last game, and they go out there and play

838
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: the same consistent way regardless of who the opponent is

839
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 1: on the other side. Yeah, you know, they don't take

840
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: anybody lightly. People like, well, how can you say that?

841
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: Think about when you lose or something happens to you negatively,

842
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: you dissect every ingle, single inch of what went wrong.

843
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: But when something goes well and when you win something

844
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: every once in a while, if you're not prepared and

845
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: you don't do it right, some of those insufficiencies you

846
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: kind of wipe under the carpet because you got the

847
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: outcome that you wanted. But you can't have a look

848
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: at football that way, you know, And you're right, but

849
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: this goes across the board. It could be baseball, basketball, hockey, football, whatever.

850
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: When I never used the term trap games, you know

851
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: what I use the term stupid game. Shame on your games.

852
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: If you the only way it's a trap is that

853
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: if you allow it to be a trap, if you're

854
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: not thinking and looking ahead. That is the only way,

855
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: am I right? Without? Look? Who is online? One? He

856
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: called yesterday? He's calling again, Charlie, Charlie, what's up? Alright?

857
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: Go go ask David about who's gonna play. Who's gonna

858
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: be the swing with the left tackle? Go ahead, I'll

859
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: talk the words out of your mouth. You know that's

860
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: that's this thing, you know? Ahead, My my wary is

861
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: there's a week us on our offensive line. We have

862
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: good backup guards, but we don't have that veterans swing

863
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: tackle in case soldering down more Solder than Ramors. But

864
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: who is the guy that you would trust right now?

865
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: The guy or guys on our roster who are gonna

866
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: come in for two or three games to take soldiers

867
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: place on Eli's blind Slade, do you think that guy

868
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: is on our team right now? Well? I think the

869
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: one thing is that you Number one, you pray that

870
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: nothing happens that any of those guys get injured, because

871
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: rebuilding this offensive line goes through those guys. And the

872
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: other thing that you have to maintain is that they

873
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: have a plan. They understand that when a backup tackle

874
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: does come in that you have to prepare by getting

875
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: a tackle or a tight end or running back to

876
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: Chip and help with him. The one thing that you

877
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: saw was obviously it didn't work out because we got

878
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: the holding calls on them, But one of the players

879
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: that I know that they feel that can move inside

880
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: and out is Gates, Nick Gates, And the other one

881
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: that you have is Chad Slade, who is a much

882
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: better tackle than he wasn't interior guard. So granted, is

883
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: it the perfect situation that you want to have. No,

884
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: but how many great swing backup veteran tackles are there

885
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: right now in the NFL that are were available? Not

886
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: many of them because teams know that you have to

887
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: have that guy. In regards to Chad Wheeler, I was

888
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: completely disappointed because after the mic, remember signing. He basically

889
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: just gave up on the competition when he had potential

890
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: to be that guy. Right. How about right now Joe

891
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: Barksdale is available. How about the Remember you mentioned three

892
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: guys last season that weren't signed and still aren't on

893
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: NFL rosters. Remember those guys, Charlie. Let me ask you

894
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: a question. I've never asked you this, buddy. Were you

895
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: ever a coach? I'm not saying that sarcastically. No ever. Okay,

896
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying, Charlie. This is what I'm

897
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: saying to Charlie up in Portland, Maine. I want you

898
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: to live a long and healthy and prosperous life. But

899
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: in your next life, I really want you to be

900
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: a coach slash general manager and you're gonna you're gonna

901
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: figure out how uneasy this job really is. Yeah. And

902
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: the other thing to go along with that is is

903
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: that you realize when you were talking about those veteran tackles,

904
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: if they didn't get released and their backup veterans, you

905
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: realize how valuable they are to that team, because if

906
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,280
Speaker 1: they're on the opening man fifty three roster, that team

907
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: has to guarantee their salary for the rest of the year.

908
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of teams you see release veterans

909
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: and then sign them after that week one. That's why

910
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the waiver wire. Obviously, they picked up

911
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: Eric Smith, who's a player that they feel can develop

912
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: and get into that mold as well. But literally, when

913
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: you look at those positions and you look at the

914
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: value of that backup tackle, it's hard to find that guy,

915
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: you know. You know, Charlie, the one thing that you

916
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: gotta be, not you or anybody. Guys, like anybody has

917
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: to be careful of You're assuming that, Okay, if it's

918
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: a young guy or whatever, he can't do the job.

919
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't make this roster believing that if

920
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: this guy has to step in, he's not capable of

921
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: doing it. You know, we don't. I don't know what

922
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: Slade E Gates are gonna do. Uh and Eric Smith

923
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: as well, if their thrust thrust in in a situation

924
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: where they got to play a lot, we don't. We

925
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: haven't seen that yet. So to say they can't do it, yeah,

926
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: exactly more important than anything else. You know, after the

927
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: first week, there will be some veterans, you know, tackles

928
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: out there that will sign someone. Oh jolly, I'm telling you,

929
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: I've looked. I've seen the free agent being out there

930
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: and there. That's the reason they won't release him after

931
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: week one, because that's the point they have the week

932
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: one they have to pay their salary for the anyways,

933
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 1: that's why they're going to hold out at those guys.

934
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: That's why there was anybody out there, they would have

935
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: already been out to get back into the league. He's

936
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: a he's a Jersey guy. Who's guy? And I couldn't

937
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: hear you, Charlie. Which player who did you say want

938
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: to get back in the league. Anthony Davis? He was

939
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: the tackle for the San Francisco who went to training

940
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: camp and quit. That's who you're bringing up, Charlie. And

941
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: how many years ago was that since he's played football, Charlie,

942
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: I think it's like to three years, Charlie. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Look,

943
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: I can you know, I could you know just because

944
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: I didn't ride a bike from two years, I can

945
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: get right back offensive line in the NFL, Charlie, that

946
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: he's going to come off of the street and be

947
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: able to block to Marcus Lawrence Charlie, I love you,

948
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: but go back to the couch. Thank you. Look, Charlie,

949
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: I love it. Though he is passion, he loves the game.

950
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: He that's offensive line. The only thing he didn't say,

951
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: who want to make should make a comeback is you

952
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: know not. I'm good and even myself playing all that football,

953
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: there's no possible way physically and mentally that I'd be

954
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: able to come back to the game right now. So

955
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: you once you're out, you're out. People have to realize that,

956
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: but they don't. They don't. And I'm eleven year VET,

957
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: two time super Bowl champ. When it's over for you,

958
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: it's it's over. You have to reac sept reality because

959
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: there's no way to get back. And listen, let's be honest.

960
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of players who have a difficult

961
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: time excepting that reality because you have to come up

962
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: with a completely new identity and something that brings out

963
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: that passion and fire that you had when you were

964
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: a football player. Listen, eleven seasons, two super Bowl rings.

965
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: When I retired, my locker was gone, my number was gone.

966
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: There's no more applause. You better be prepared for the

967
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: next chapter of your life. You know, and listen, that's

968
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: the sport. That's professional sports. That is professional sports. What

969
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: happens when the cheering is exactly we're not. Everybody's patting

970
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: me on the back and doing everything, or we'll buy

971
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: you a drink. That still happens with the two Super Bowls.

972
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 1: But but that's it's the truth. The ring counts for that.

973
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: But that's but that's something that you have to realize.

974
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: And a lot of times, like we said, Charlie last year,

975
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: we're talking week ten and eleven. Well, there's guys on

976
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: the street. There's a reason why they're on the street

977
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: not playing right now. You have to understand that. Two

978
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: oh one, four, five one three, Uh. We got from Texas.

979
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: We got let's go down in Texas. Check here with Donnie. Hello,

980
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: don how are you hey? How you doing? Russ? How

981
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: you doing? David? Great brother? What's up? Alright? I got

982
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: three questions, one about the Giants left side of the

983
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: old line, and one for each of you guys. I'm

984
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna start with the left side. Hopefully you can help

985
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: me out on this. David, I've been watching a lot

986
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: of Nate Soldiers side primarily of the line. I don't

987
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: know if he's recovered from injury, your input would be great.

988
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: I know he has some offseason surgery, but it looks

989
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: like he's getting pushed off the ball a lot. And

990
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: I know it's only preseason, but is there anything technique

991
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: wise that you have seen that shows that he's going

992
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: to be okay? Or is he recovered from injury? And

993
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: then my other questions. I know it's the end of

994
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: the show. I'll take it off pretty quick. Guys, Russ,

995
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: you have covered some amazing teams over the years. What

996
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: team have you covered was probably the most memorable, most special,

997
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: whether it's the Yankees, the Giants and David. Of all

998
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: the guys you've played against over the years, who was

999
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: the hardest guy for you to go up against? I'll

1000
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: take my answer off the year, guys. Thanks all right. Well,

1001
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: when you're the left tackle on on a on a

1002
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: football team in the NFL, you're going up against the

1003
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: best of the best. But I always say, anytime in

1004
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: eleven seasons you turn around from the line of scrimmage,

1005
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: you're identifying the mic. Anytime you played the Dallas Cowboys,

1006
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: we turn around, where's ninety four? DeMarcus Ware was the

1007
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: toughest guy to prepare for because you had to count

1008
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: for him as an offensive lineman. You couldn't leave a

1009
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: running back or a tight end on him. You wouldn't

1010
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: leave him unblocked on the backside like normal defensive ends.

1011
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: If you have a three technique and you're working double

1012
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: teams with the guard, you'd have to let the line

1013
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: back a run because he could flatten down the line

1014
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and do it for a tackle for one

1015
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: yard loss. So that's easy. In regards to Nate, obviously

1016
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: he was getting some rust out. You remember he had

1017
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: the ankle, he had the bone spur surgery that he

1018
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: had before the training camp, so he didn't get through

1019
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: all the off season and all the mini camp stuff.

1020
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: So that's why they played so much during the preseason

1021
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: was to iron out that rust. I think that he's

1022
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: gotten much better and he'll continue to get better. Uh.

1023
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: In regards to his technique, you know, I talked about

1024
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: it last year. You know, him setting for Tom Brady

1025
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 1: and him setting for Eli Manning and a different system

1026
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: is completely different. So I think that's what you saw.

1027
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: You try to hammer out things and you try things

1028
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 1: differently in the preseason that you don't normally do to

1029
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: see how it feels and how it works. Sometimes it does,

1030
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't work, then you

1031
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: refine and go back to what you're doing. That's what

1032
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: preseason and practice is about. Actually, um Nate is very

1033
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: enthused about the coming season. I'll even give myself a plug.

1034
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: I sat down with Nate be where I got on

1035
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: the air here because he's gonna be featured in uh,

1036
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, in our Priests on our pregame show on

1037
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: Fox five this week. Yeah, it's that's exactly how he feels.

1038
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: In answer to Don's question about the most memorable member,

1039
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: what he was, he was talking just about football. Yeah,

1040
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: what team were you around that's been the most memory

1041
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: if it was the most memorable that I has been around. Boy,

1042
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a coin flip for two. One would

1043
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: be Super Bowl when Norwood was wide right, and the

1044
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: other one would be your first Super Bowl victors. Yeah,

1045
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean that was just you know, because you're beating

1046
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots. The thing that I remember about Super Bowl

1047
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: it was also it was it was at a time

1048
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: where the restrictions and you know, you couldn't you could

1049
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: still move around, So I was down on the side

1050
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: eide line Super Bowl. You are Dave Megatt and I'm

1051
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: here and there's a yellow cord between both of us,

1052
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: and as Norwood is lining up, Mega turns around and

1053
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: looks at me and says, Russ, he's gonna miss the

1054
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 1: bleep and bleep and ball. He's gonna miss the bleep

1055
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: and bleep and kick. And sure enough he missed the

1056
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: bleep and bleep and kick and the rest was history.

1057
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: That was exciting. But but I have to tell you

1058
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: that first one, that that unbelievable team, Oh my goodness.

1059
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: And you know what, you know when I knew that

1060
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: the Giants had it in your team had it in

1061
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: them to make a run. Because that game we had

1062
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: a post game show on Channel nine because it was

1063
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: last game, and actually the league made it um wherever

1064
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: there was some restrictions on it, so it was televised

1065
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: every place. But I remember being down on the field

1066
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: after the game and the and the and the Patriots

1067
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: beat you, and I remember, to a man, every one

1068
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: of you Giants was p o because to win that game,

1069
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: you were gonna The attitude was we let this get away.

1070
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: It didn't you were in the playoffs. It didn't mean anything.

1071
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: We let this get away, and I know I said,

1072
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: this team is gonna go for a run in the postseason.

1073
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what was I'll never forget that because

1074
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 1: after the game, we were like, it's nothing that they did,

1075
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: it's what we did that cost us the football game.

1076
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: And that was one of the best things that could

1077
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 1: have happened for us, is to have that confidence to

1078
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: play that game when remember Coach Kauf was told, are

1079
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: you gonna play your starters? You guys are already in

1080
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs, were going for an undefeated season. I'll never

1081
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: forget that Wednesday before the game, Coach kauflan playing a

1082
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: John Madden voicemail they left for Coach Kauf. That's what

1083
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 1: football is about. You always go out there and play

1084
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: the window and there's no guarantees with anything you do.

1085
00:55:55,080 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 1: And that's what gave us that confidence. And it wasn't them,

1086
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: it was us. I'll never forget that. I walked away

1087
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: and I looked at my producer Rich Begala at the time,

1088
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: I said, man, these guys are really angry. I have

1089
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: not seen them this emotional all season long, and there

1090
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: was some big games, but you know, what I can't

1091
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: forget people after like, oh, you must have felt good.

1092
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: We were so mad. Yeah, no, really, I mean I

1093
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: can't use the language that I heard. And you know,

1094
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: the other thing leading up, I'd have to say that

1095
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, you know, the first one with Coughlin, because

1096
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't just that, it was the run leading up

1097
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: to it. First you beat Tampa down to Tampa. Then

1098
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: you beat the Cowboys, Cowboys who beats twice that year,

1099
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: and then you beat Bay in the freeze bow week

1100
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: two of that regular season. So we called that the

1101
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: postseason of revenge. I mean that was ah man, I'm

1102
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 1: getting nostalgic thinking about it. That was the run of

1103
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: runs and then to come back in that and you

1104
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 1: could just see the way that Super Bowl started that

1105
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: this was the Giants, this was the Giant This was

1106
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a close games, mouth offense, defensive line, and

1107
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: I remember uh then watching uh Stray looking at you guys,

1108
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,839
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and you guys were looking at them

1109
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: like little kids, wide eyed, like like pop wanted kids,

1110
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: saying Okay, we're gonna this is what you're gonna do,

1111
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: and you go go win the game. One of the

1112
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: players that symbolize that entire postseason run was when a

1113
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: mom or not, Brandon Jacobs completely ran over Rob Woodson

1114
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: and his dekel came off of his helmetcause it was

1115
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: so cold that we knew this is Giants football and

1116
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: we're rolling through him. The funny thing is is for

1117
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: that game, we practiced outdoors all week. Green Bay didn

1118
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: practice outdoors. They practice indoors. Yeah, well, I'll tell you what,

1119
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget looking at Tom Conson Charles Woodson.

1120
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: I'll never forget looking at coach confidence face on at

1121
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: halftime he was talking to us and we weren't even

1122
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: understanding his words. Where it's you okay? Anyway, folks, that
