00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 5: Boby was great? Got this, Just spend some time at home,

22
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 5: just relax, let the body recover.

23
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, and then you know, you get back and

24
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: nice and calm. Nothing, no big news nothing's going on.

25
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 3: Uh So how did you react and find out about

26
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: the news with the quarterback change.

27
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: I mean I found out just from everybody, well Dave's

28
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 5: whenever we had our team meeting, let never letting the

29
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 5: team know. And I mean reaction was a little I

30
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 5: was kind of surprised, but then again, at the same time,

31
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 5: you never know what may happen coming off of buy

32
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 5: and obviously they said that they were going to look

33
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 5: and evaluate things. So knowing that they we had some

34
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 5: history with Tommy and had some good games last year,

35
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 5: just excited for him to get out there.

36
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like the reaction to something like this is tough, right,

37
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: because you know, Daniel's been doing this a long time.

38
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: You guys have had success with him. We all know

39
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: how hard he works and he's got all the tools.

40
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I think, and you'll understand this,

41
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: averaging the fewest points per game in the league the record,

42
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: So how do you kind of square that circle as

43
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: a player when you hear that they're making that sort

44
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: of change.

45
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: I mean, you just got to look at it, like,

46
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, just keep going out

47
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 5: there doing your job and as a receiver, doing everything

48
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 5: you can to help Tommy make his life a whole

49
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 5: lot easier, being open as much as possible, just allowing

50
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 5: them to have an easy target to get to and

51
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, just kind of getting

52
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 5: trying to get a little spark, and you go out

53
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: there to put some more points about there on the board.

54
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: So and we'll get Tommy. The second last one on

55
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: on Daniel, just to give fans out there an idea

56
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: the amount of respect that the teammates have for him

57
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: in there. Why is there so much adoration respect for

58
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Daniel in that locker room, not just from you guys

59
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: on offense, but from guys on the defensive side of

60
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: the ball too.

61
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 5: Just the way he comes in every day. He's the

62
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: same person, even whenever the I guess you could so

63
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: called benching has happened. Still one of the first guys

64
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: in whenever I'm pulling in and you see that, you

65
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 5: see his g wagon, you see his car right there.

66
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: So nothing's changed with him. But just even from the

67
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 5: start of the season OTAs, he's always been the same guy,

68
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 5: just coming into work doing everything he could, recovering from

69
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: the acol, making sure he was ready for week one.

70
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: Everybody just always sees that and sees how hard he

71
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 5: works and just as a tremendous and not respect for him.

72
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: And how much is it his play style? You know,

73
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: for as a quarterback. You know you got the angry

74
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: run thing three weeks ago. He's lowering his shoulders running

75
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: over linebackers. We're always begging him to slide. He doesn't

76
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: want to slide. He's two thirty runs like a running back.

77
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: Is the what he plays? The game part of it too?

78
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, definitely.

79
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of times you can tell not

80
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 5: a lot of stuff fases him, and he tries not

81
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 5: to let the outside noise get into our locker room

82
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: and just being an ultimate leader and just trying to

83
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 5: lead us by example and just doing everything he could

84
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: out there on the field.

85
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about Tommy. You had a lot

86
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: of experience with him last year. What is Tommy DeVito

87
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: bring to the football field that makes allowed him to

88
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: help you, you know, win three straight games with them

89
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: last year.

90
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: Tommy brings some swag to him. I mean, you know,

91
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 5: he just went ouver he's out there playing. You can

92
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 5: kind of tell that he plays just a little bit

93
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: more swag than a lot of other quarterbacks, and he

94
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: just has the confidence out there, so a little bit

95
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: of a gunslinger and sometimes you know, as the receiver,

96
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: we like that a lot and just kind of giving

97
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: us some chances. But I think Tommy's doing extremely well

98
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: right now.

99
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: So what do you mean by swag? Define that?

100
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: For me?

101
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: It's hard to define.

102
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: It's just like you just kind of see it in

103
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: your quarterback and whatever you're out there as receivers, you

104
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: can definitely tell whenever your quarterbacks just kind of out

105
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: there confident. Bob like just kind of bopping around and

106
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: it's kind of like, yeah, this guy, he's in a

107
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: groove and you can just kind of toll whenever the

108
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: ball is coming out of his army. All right, he

109
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: has some confidence with so no.

110
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: I talked to Tommy in the offseason, and you know,

111
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: when you're in the middle of it, you really can't telp.

112
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: But when he looked back at it his rookie year,

113
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: he's like, man, I just got thrown into the deep

114
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: end and that was tough, and it was drinking out

115
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: of a fire hose and it was it was really

116
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: really difficult. But he says now it's so much different

117
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: having done it. Binning games, getting all these snaps and

118
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: that was even before training camp, right, he felt so

119
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: much more comfortable. So where have you seen the progress

120
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: that Tommy's made from year one and year two, even

121
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: just from the reps you had with him in OTAs.

122
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: I mean, he just has a way more command in

123
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: the offense, knowing regards are supposed to be, letting us

124
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: know if we're not in the right spot or things

125
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: like that, or how he wants a certain thing. Just

126
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: it's been really good to see him like that and

127
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 5: just see the growth that he had from last year. Obviously,

128
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: I can't imagine being a rookie quarterback in this offense

129
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: and everything, all the reads and everything you have to know.

130
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 5: So I mean, just having another year under his belt

131
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 5: is obviously going to do wonders for him.

132
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: So how does that actually show up on the field

133
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 3: some fans will notice or is it like pre snap

134
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: stuff where he's maybe he is an option of two

135
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: plays and he's picking the right one that fans don't

136
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: even know he's doing that, Like, where is that going

137
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: to show up?

138
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

139
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: I don't think the to the naked odd just a

140
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 5: regular fan will be able to notice. And I think

141
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 5: more so whenever he come in and watch the tape

142
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: and you're just like, Okay, this guy made the right

143
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: read right here. I didn't even think he was going

144
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: to make this kind of read, but it was the

145
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 5: right read. And defense might be showing you one thing

146
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: and you get a whole different other and you got

147
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 5: to make or read the.

148
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: Whole other opposite side of the field. So I definitely

149
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: think he's doing a really good job right now.

150
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: Though now I feel like you kind of got going

151
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: last year right coming back when Tommy slid. I'm sure

152
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: some of that was coincidence, just with your feeling healthier

153
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: and it kind of came in there together. But does

154
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: that give you a little bit more confidence now with

155
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: him sluttinger that you guys have a good report?

156
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, no doubt. And I mean it's nice knowing

157
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 5: he's one of those type of quarterbacks. It's like, hey,

158
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 5: certain plays, I know you're getting mad, I'm coming to you,

159
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 5: and so it's just it's stuff like that. With that

160
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: you have real confidence in your quarterback, and it's like,

161
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: I got to go out here and get open for

162
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: this guy, and you know, scrambled plays he's he might

163
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: just give you a chance down the field, just go

164
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: make a place.

165
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: So no, Tommy's Tommy's doing it.

166
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: I know, it's just the spring and there's no pads,

167
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: and a lot of it is install its basic stuff.

168
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: But the fact that Daniel still rehabing in the spring

169
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 3: and him and Drew were splitting reps with the ones,

170
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: is that going to have a meaningful impact in your

171
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: opinion on his ability to slide in there and having

172
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: some more chemistry with you, Darius Malik and the rest

173
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: of the first team guys on offense.

174
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. I mean I think no matter when you

175
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: got the reps she as long as you were getting them,

176
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 5: it's going to be a lot easier to get accustomed

177
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 5: to it. And obviously, me, Sleigh and Jalen having Tommy

178
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 5: for however many games last year was going to be

179
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: a big help for us because obviously now games can

180
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 5: go and how he's going to be in games and

181
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 5: things like that, and I mean it's been good for

182
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: us in practice, and it was really good for us

183
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 5: in our case as well.

184
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 3: I know the media has written a lot about it,

185
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 3: and a lot of that's conjecture, but when I stepped

186
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: into the locker room on Wednesday, and Tommy did a

187
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 3: little press thing and the thing everyone's loud, they're laughing,

188
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: they're yelling like. This doesn't seem like it down trodden

189
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: locker room. To me, it seems like you guys are

190
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: rallying a little bit.

191
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 4: No.

192
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: I mean, the reality of it is, we we know

193
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: we shouldn't be what our record says, so we feel

194
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: great going into a lot of games knowing that we

195
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: have an opportunity to win and go out and showcase

196
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: what we can do. You know, just each and every week,

197
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: we just got to go out there and prove it.

198
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 5: We're not down and out about it, so I mean,

199
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: we're still having fun. We're all loving up on each

200
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: other in the locker room, and we still care for

201
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 5: one another. So it's not like we're going to be

202
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: just down and out now.

203
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: I happen to agree with you, and I have my

204
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: reasons why I think you guys shouldn't be twoeing it either.

205
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: But for a player that's in the lockerman on the field,

206
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: why don't you think you guys should be too in it?

207
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Why do you think you're better than what your record

208
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: might show.

209
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: A lot of the games we've given away, it hasn't

210
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 5: been a lot of what the other team has done.

211
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: It's been more so what we didn't do and the

212
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: one little play there, one little play here and there,

213
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: and so it's just like it's literally like a sum

214
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 5: of probably ten plays that we could change our change

215
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 5: our record and be completely turned around. But obviously the

216
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 5: passes in the past and got to keep moving forward,

217
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: and that's the only reason we can continue to get

218
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: better and just go out and showcase what we can

219
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: do and just continue to get wins.

220
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, one and five and one score games, and knowing

221
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: that Bengal game and it'll be a ten point loss,

222
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: but that was a one score game the entire time too,

223
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: So it's really more like one and six, right, So

224
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that. A big part of that

225
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: is red zone, right, and not just scoring touchdowns in

226
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: the red zone. You guys, almost thirty percent of your

227
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: red zone appearances, you've scored zero points. Right, You've had

228
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: seven red zone turnovers.

229
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 4: How do you.

230
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: Turn that part around? Because to your point, in the

231
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: red zone, a couple of players here or there, a

232
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: couple of field goals. However you want to look at it,

233
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: some of these one score games could go a lot different,

234
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 3: So what can get better in the red zone to

235
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: just get more points on the board to match maybe

236
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: some of your other offensive metrics.

237
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 5: Definitely just locking in on all details, especially whenever we

238
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: get down there, just hounting in even more than what

239
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 5: we had already done to get down there or whatever

240
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: it was that we may have done. And then obviously

241
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: just taking care of the ball, whether that's as a runner,

242
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: not fumbling, doubling in trouble, like we call it, putting

243
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: both hands covering the ball.

244
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: You know, this is.

245
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 5: Especially with this team that we're going to be going against.

246
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 5: They like to go after the ball, and obviously you

247
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: want to do your best to do what you can

248
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: to get open for the quarterback. And obviously we hope

249
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: that they make the right choices back there as well.

250
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: And so I think we get all those things covered

251
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 5: up and we'll be scorn points.

252
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: When you would a chance to take the twenty thousand

253
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 3: look at the team at the buy when you're kind

254
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: of chilling at home and just relaxing, what are some

255
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: of the things that came to mind for you, And

256
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: even when you got back with your coaches and your

257
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 3: meetings Monday and Tuesday. That aside from the redsue stuff

258
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: which already touched on, that you think would be some

259
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: of the maybe easy is the wrong word, but some

260
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: of the you know, easier things to pinpoint that you

261
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: can say, all right, if we turn these couple things around,

262
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: we can make the second half of the year a

263
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: lot better than the first half.

264
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: I know, from a receiver standpoint, we want some more explosives,

265
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 5: just having shorter drives. Let's have a couple three four

266
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 5: play drives rather than some ten play drives.

267
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 3: So you guys lead the league at average driving, that's yeah, so.

268
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 5: We want to As for us, we want to hit

269
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: a couple more big plays just to give our old

270
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 5: line some more breadth and more breathing room and then

271
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 5: even allow our defense. I feel like even with explosives,

272
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 5: our defense kind of gets excited with those and it

273
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 5: kind of allows them to go out there and play

274
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 5: better as well.

275
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: What can the wide receiver unit as a group, and

276
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: I know you guys are on the drugs machines all

277
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: the time to try to clean up some of those

278
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: passes that I'm sure you think you should have came

279
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: up with, but especially in critical spots. As a group.

280
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: Maybe you guys have to come up with some of

281
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: the balls you think you should have.

282
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's just catching the ball, looking it

283
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: all the way in, not trying to do too much.

284
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: Feel like we're also we feel like we're also dynamic

285
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 5: with the ball in our hands. We try to do

286
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: a lot after sometimes before we make sure we securely

287
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 5: catch got to catch it first, right, Yeah, I know, especially,

288
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: I know that's one thing for me. I definitely was

289
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 5: trying to harp on myself with was licking it all

290
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: the way in and working on my catch mechanics and

291
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: things like that with my training back at home, but

292
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: just definitely doing a lot of different things just to make.

293
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 4: Sure that we're right there on top of everything.

294
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: So for you, why do you think your season's gone

295
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: so far? I know you're very excited about this year.

296
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: We talked in the offseason, you know, first year where

297
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: you're not rehabbing, you're not a rookie. It's like a

298
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: real off season. You can actually get ready for the

299
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: season the right way. How do you think the season's

300
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: gone for you?

301
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: I feel like season's gone all right. Obviously, feel like

302
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: there were some things out there that I wish I

303
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 5: had back, but I really feel like for this final half,

304
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 5: the final half of the year, you can really go

305
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: out there and showcase what I really can do. And

306
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 5: looking forward to getting on the field a little bit

307
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: more and just continue to get open.

308
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: Do you feel yourself still improving as an athlete as

309
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 3: you get off of further away from the injury, are

310
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: you still you think accelerating?

311
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question.

312
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 5: I mean there's still some movements out there that I

313
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 5: may not be comfortable doing because I hadn't done it before,

314
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 5: and some things I might see on tape, and it's

315
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: just kind of like, okay, week by week, it's each

316
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: each week is getting better whatever I can or can't do.

317
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: So definitely filling speed and exposedly this all the way

318
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 5: back and just making sure that I'm always there.

319
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: They'reing good with my routes.

320
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: So one question we get from fans a lot, I

321
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: like to get your answer to it. They say, I

322
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: don't understand why do the Giants on like a third

323
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 3: and seventh or five yard pass in front of the sticks.

324
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: But I try to explain, Look, those players are designed

325
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: to create separation to get yack after the playing, So

326
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: explain from an x's and o's inside the room receiver

327
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: football standpoint. Why fans should not be driven nuts by

328
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: seeing that five yard catch on third and seven.

329
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: Well, obviously, there's sometimes there might be a route that's

330
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: behind George where you can't get enough debt, where your

331
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 5: depth is kind of limited to a certain point, like

332
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 5: for that Carolina game, I was kind of limited to

333
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: how deep I could get when the dB.

334
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: Broke the ball up.

335
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 5: But and then some of the options routes as well,

336
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 5: you know, you're kind of working your man and then

337
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: whenever you break open your that's kind of what those

338
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 5: routes are. Kind of catch and run and good ball

339
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: placement and allow you to do things after the catch

340
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 5: with it. So usually if whenever you catch a five

341
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 5: out option, you should definitely be able to get some

342
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: more after as long as you have some good ball placement.

343
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: All right, Mollie Davers, how is he handled kind of

344
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: all the ups and downs of this year just for

345
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: the team. I'm sure he's never probably lost this many

346
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: games in the season in his life. That's tough, you know,

347
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: he said, between the percussions some of the drops for

348
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: him too. How is he handled all of this as

349
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: a rookie in the NFL, which I'm sure can't be easy.

350
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, especially for him. I mean, he's handled

351
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 5: like a pro. I can't imagine you're thrown into the fire,

352
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: number six pick and you get drafted to the New

353
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: York media and obviously some of the things that have

354
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: happened that we're unfortunate, and he's made too many plays

355
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: for him to keep his head down and do well

356
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: on those. But he's handled like a pro. He's coming

357
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: in each and every week trying to get better. Whatever

358
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 5: he can do to help us out, help any of

359
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 5: his other teammates out, he's going to do so.

360
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: Do you still see his ceiling and what he does

361
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: in practice and it's sky high?

362
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no doubt.

363
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 5: There's definitely usually a player to today it's just kind

364
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: of like, damn, what the heck do this? And so no,

365
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 5: he's he's definitely special and he's a really good dude

366
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: as well, even whenever it comes off the football.

367
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: Do you think Hyatt's ability to get more involved in

368
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: Munich might be a little bit of a preview of

369
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: things to come for the rest of the.

370
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 4: Year, Yeah, no doubt.

371
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously, just continue to work in practice and

372
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 5: show showcase what you can do there, and whenevery opportunity

373
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 5: is come in the game, you got to make the

374
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 5: most of them. So I feel like what he did

375
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 5: against the Panthers was really good and felt like the

376
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 5: coaches really liked what he did.

377
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: So hopefully seeing him more out there.

378
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: All right, go want to talk to you real quickly

379
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 3: about the box. Does a game like this gets you

380
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: excited for a team that blitzes so much in plays

381
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 3: Man's that you have a chance to get some of

382
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: those one one opportunities?

383
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: For sure?

384
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 5: I definitely like teams the pressure and then whenever they

385
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 5: are impressing, it's just a lot of his own So

386
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 5: I feel like I can read zone coveragees pretty well

387
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 5: as well. So yeah, I'm definitely definitely excited.

388
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: What are some of the keys for an offense to

389
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: do well against the team that brings pressures often as

390
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: they do well?

391
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: One, you just got to communicate, especially for those guys

392
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: up fronting in the backs, and whenever we are throwing

393
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: the ball, communicating and sorting out the pressures and things

394
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 5: like that. And then for us, it's making sure that

395
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: we're on our landmarks and being where we're supposed to

396
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 5: be on time obviously because they got that's coming up.

397
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: And then finally, what do you see from their secondary

398
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: and ol Jamill Dean might be back this week, one

399
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: of the better corners. What do you see from him?

400
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: And the kind of the rest of their defensive back

401
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: to Lantin Winfields obviously a tremendous player.

402
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, they're they're really good. Back In played against

403
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: Winfield my freshman year of college, so got a little

404
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: bit of history with him. But I mean, the corners

405
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: are an athletic group. Nicholas physical guy, so we're excited

406
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 5: to go against those guys.

407
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: But definitely gotta come ready.

408
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: Good stuf, appreciate it this sir, Thank you.

409
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,040

410

00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: middle with at the score great?

Speaker 5: How do we make that happen?

Speaker 2: Fun to talk to him today.

423
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: All right, let's head over to Scott Reynolds and the

424

Speaker 3: and now we're joined by Scott Reynolds. He does a

426
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: great job covering the tenth day Buccaneers for the Pewter Report.

427
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Scott's joined us before. Scott.

428
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: Your season's going a little bit better than the Giants,

429
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: though you're dealing with the losing streak of your How

430
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: you doing today, man?

431
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: Doing good? Just waiting for one of these teams to

432
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: win a game five losing or five game losing streak

433
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: for the Giants, four game losing streak for the Bucks.

434
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: I think something's got to give. We don't want to

435
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: see this game in in a tie.

436
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

437
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know, I'll get to the specifics and

438
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: the injuries in a second. But both these teams have

439
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 3: had a similar issue where they've played a ton of

440
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: closed games here but they just haven't been able to

441
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: close them out at the end.

442
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're right, and it really it's it's Todd

443
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: Bowles defense. That's been the culprit. You go back to

444
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: the overtime losses at Atlanta and at Kansas City, and

445
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: then most recently right before the bye week losing twenty

446
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: three to twenty to the forty nine ers. Ti Bowles

447
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: defense was on the field on all three of those

448
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: games and allowed the game winning score, whether it's field

449
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: goal or touchdowns, and that's really been frustrating because he's

450
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: a defensive mind to head coach, helped this team win

451
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: his Super Bowl in twenty twenty, and it just has

452
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: not found the right buttons to push this year. Tampa

453
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: Bays pass defense is terrible. They're scoring defense is bad.

454
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: They have not even stopped the run exceptionally well, so

455
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: they're searching for answers and the pass rush has not

456
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: really gotten home. This team has not picked off a

457
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: pass since Week six when they when they had an

458
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: interception or two against Spencer Rattler in New Orleans. So

459
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to really rebound. And this should be

460
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: a get well game for Todd Bowles defense given the

461
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: fact that the Giants struggle to score points. But Todd

462
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Bowles has also made unheralded quarterbacks look formidable and that

463
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: might be the case with Tommy Debato.

464
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 3: All right, so let me follow up before we get

465
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 3: to the injuries. Then, why do you think the defense

466
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 3: is having so many issues? I know the Bucks have

467
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: lost some guys personal wise, we could talk about the

468
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: cornerback position. Obviously, Jamal Dean might be back this week,

469
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: but you still have Vitavey upfront.

470
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 2: I know you don't have the edge rushers it used

471
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: to have.

472
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 3: But Todd Bowles's system is fairly proven, right, It's been

473
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 3: good in this league for a good amount of time.

474
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 3: So why do you think the defense has struggled as

475
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: much as it has?

476
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that he's adapted too much. He

477
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: runs some quarters, he'll play that that cover three fire

478
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: zone defense, and it's you know, these aren't These aren't

479
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: new defensive schemes the area. These are defensive schemes that

480
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: have been around, and you have to evolve in the NFL.

481
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: It's adapter die and we've seen offenses evolve, and we've

482
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: seen some defenses of all. But I don't know that

483
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: there's been an evolution here. I think Todd has stuck

484
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: to what he's done so much that it's it's kind

485
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: of detrimental now. Plus on top of that, you pay

486
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: a playmaker like Antoine Winfield Junior, who might have had

487
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: the best defensive season of any defender in the league

488
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: last year. We're talking over one hundred and twenty tackles,

489
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: three interceptions, six sacks, six forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries,

490
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: a herculean type year. And he does have a scooping

491
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: score this year, but has not been involved in any

492
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: other turnovers. And he's missed four games due to injury.

493
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned injuries that that's been part of the reason

494
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: why this defense has been so disjointed. Jimmel Dean's missed

495
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: four games earlier in the season, Winfield missed four games.

496
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: They lost for Vassi A. Dennis, their best coverage linebacker

497
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: in Week four to a season ending shoulder injury. He

498
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: was really the best linebacker on the team. And they

499
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: just have not had that pass rush. So it's really

500
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: been a struggle for Todd Bowles to press the right

501
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: buttons to get this defense going. But you know, his

502
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: playmakers have not made plays this year, the guys that

503
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: he's counted on to, and they're still searching for answers

504
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye week.

505
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned the Bucks no picks since Week six.

506
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: You said the Giants haven't had one since Week one

507
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: against Sam Darnold, and that was a deflection that got

508
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: picked off by a rookie linebacker, Darius Mussau. So there's

509
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: second there doesn't have an interception since week one, which

510
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: is you know, eventually a quarterback should probably just airmail

511
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: one and it should go right to your safety, right,

512
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: especially when you're second in the league in sacks, But

513
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: for some reason that hasn't really happened yet this year

514
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 3: for the Giants. Jameel Dean, how much can he maybe

515
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: impact what the Bucks are going to do with their

516
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 3: pressure rates and their boots packages. They obviously need guys

517
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: to cover one on one and oh, Dean does have

518
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 3: the traits of a guy that you know, you could

519
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: probably put out there on elite neighbors and feel like

520
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: he's going to be able to hold his own a

521
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: little bit.

522
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. And at the same time, though he's coming back

523
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: when the team might be with that Zion McCollum, who

524
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: might be a game time decision. So Todd Bowles would

525
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: love to have both of the starting corners out there

526
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: because the times that that has not happened. And when

527
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: he said one starter Zion McCollum, he can shut down guys,

528
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: but not having that other guy presents some target opportunities,

529
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: you know, and Mylik Neighbors has proven to be a

530
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: dangerous guy. I don't think we've seen the best of

531
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: him yet because he does have that four to three

532
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: five speed and has not really stretched the field as

533
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: often as as the Giants would have liked, you know,

534
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 1: a ten yard receiving average, longest play thirty nine yards.

535
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: But maybe this is the game where he has put

536
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: up against the opposite cornerback from Jamel d and whether

537
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: it's Josh Hayes or the newcomer Troy Hill, and really

538
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: has some opportunities down the field if Tommy Debido can

539
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. So, you know, it

540
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: concerns me because again Todd Bowles, there have been some

541
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: games where if you look at bo Nixon's coming out party,

542
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: it was against Todd Bowles defense, you know, back in

543
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Week three where Nicks had thrown four interceptions and no

544
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns and had a complete role reversal and played like

545
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: he's playing now. And that started in Tampa Bay. So

546
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: Tommy Debido can hurt you scrambling and also extending plays

547
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: with his mobility, and they're going to have to plaster

548
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: these giants receivers, whether it's Slayton, whether it's you know,

549
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Windale Robinson or Elik Neighbors.

550
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned the big play stuff.

551
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: Neighbors has not had a twenty yard reception since he

552
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: returned from that concussion four weeks ago.

553
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: So the big plays.

554
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of targets, a lot of catches,

555
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: but the big plays have not been there in the

556
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: last month or so football for him. Final one of

557
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: the defense, how about the run defense. You know, Vidavan,

558
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 3: we know what a great player he's been. Is he

559
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: still playing at that level on a down in, down

560
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: out basis or is that one of the issues they're

561
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: having with the run defense.

562
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the defensive tackles have played exceptionally well.

563
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: I think Vita had a fantastic game at Kansas City.

564
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Ten tackles, two sacks on Patrick Mahomes. Elijah Cansey, the

565
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: other defensive tackle last year's first round pick. He had

566
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: a pair of sacks against Mahomes as well in Kansas City.

567
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: He's come on He's got four sacks in the last

568
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: five games since he's returned from a calf injury that

569
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: cost them the first part of the season. So the

570
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: defensive tackle position is not a problem. Even Logan Hall,

571
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: they're kind of disappointing former top pick. He's got three

572
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: sacks on the season. So it's not the interior of

573
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: the defensive line. It's on the edges where they really

574
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: have struggled. And so maybe Tyrone Tracy today find some

575
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: success off tackle or getting to the outside. Tampa Bay's

576
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: linebackers not very fast. kJ Britz, pretty slow, Levonte David

577
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: slowing down at age thirty four. We've really seen that

578
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: that kind of fall off this year in his play

579
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: still get it done, but not that play maker that

580
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: he used to be. So Tyron Tracy I could see

581
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: with that five point one yard average having a pretty

582
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: decent day against Tampa Bay, and I think they'll lean

583
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: on the running game trying to get that going to

584
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: help Tommy DeVito and not put all the pressure on

585
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 1: him to make plays. And then the other thing too

586
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay's not tackled well, so that's going to

587
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: lend itself when you've got a back that that has

588
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: some size of five two and ten pounds to break

589
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: some tackles. Shoot, they allowed Kirk Cousins, who's a statue

590
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: to run thirteen yards for a first down back in

591
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Tampa in week was that Week nine or week ten?

592
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: And so you know they just they need to tackle

593
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: better and that that's not just Tyrone and Tracy, that's

594
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: also the yards past the line of scrimmage that DeVito

595
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: can get with his legs and scrambles.

596
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, with all the talk about Saquon Barkley Departy, the

597
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: Giants run game in tyroonn Tracy has probably be the

598
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 3: best part of their offense that really has not been

599
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 3: the problem ironically.

600
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the.

601
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: Bucks offense and Scott I think they've done an admirable

602
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: job keeping up moving the ball without Chris Godwin. Mike

603
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: Evans has been out, Tristan Wurfs has missed time, and

604
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: now you're starting to get some of those guys back.

605
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: So give me a status of for kind of where

606
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: we are overall with this Bucks offense and who we

607
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: might see on the field on Sunday.

608
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like Mike Evans will play in this game.

609
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: That's good news because they've certainly missed having a credible

610
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver out there. It's really been Kadot in a

611
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: tight end who's had to step up for Baker Mayfield.

612
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: And really a lot of credit goes to rookie offensive

613
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: play caller offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. He has done a

614
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: masterful job. When this team was at full strength through

615
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens game, they were averaging thirty points per

616
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: game and that was like up there in the top

617
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: three or four teams in the league. And since losing

618
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and Godwin's out for

619
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the year at the dislocated ankle in that Ravens game,

620
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers still put up twenty four points on offense

621
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: against the Falcons and then twenty four points on the

622
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead, And that's a much better

623
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: defense with Chris Jones and everybody up front. And then

624
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: they put up twenty points against again another stout defense

625
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers missed an opportunity or two

626
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: in the red zone for even more points. But the

627
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: fact that Liam Cohen has the creativity, the adaptability the

628
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: high football IQ to lean on the running game and

629
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: really involve Bucky Irving and Rashad White in the screen

630
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: game and in the passing game. It's allowed Baker Mayfield

631
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: to still move the ball, put up points, and keep

632
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: this team in games. The problem has not been on

633
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: the offensive side, even without Evans and Godwin. It's been

634
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. So now you have Mike Evans back.

635
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: The concern in Tampa, though, is does Baker Mayfield try

636
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: to force the ball to him a little too much

637
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: just because he's back and he's been missed. I think

638
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: they that he has to let Evans's plays come to him.

639
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: But at the same time, this will free up some

640
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: things offensively for some other players. I think now you're

641
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: going to see coverages roll towards Evan's side, and that

642
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: should give more opportunities for single coverage against some of

643
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: these other targets that Tampa Bay has.

644
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 3: And have teams play two safeties back against the run game. Yeah,

645
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 3: I think you guys have really developed a really impressive

646
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: two headed mon So, you know, Rashad White is your

647
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 3: past receiver also kind of your you know, downhill power back.

648
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, while Bucky Irvin has you.

649
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: Know, it's funny I love this college tape, but I

650
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: kept saying to myself, he's like really small and not fast,

651
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 3: So how is he going to say? See in the

652
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: NFL and long and behold the tape held up. He's

653
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: been doing a good job.

654
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: He's been that guy. You know. He doesn't have like

655
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: the breakaway speed that Work Done had coming out of

656
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: Florida State back in ninety seven when he was like

657
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: rookie of the year and burst on the scene. You

658
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: had Mike al Stott and Work down the WD forty backfield.

659
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: But he runs like wark Done and the fact that

660
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: he's small, he's five nine, one hundred and ninety two

661
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: pounds a little bit heavier than Done was not as fast,

662
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: doesn't have the breakaway speed, but he's ripped off some

663
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: thirty yard runs because he's very elusive. His great vision,

664
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: has a very kind of instinctive running style that makes

665
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: the first guy miss gets to the second level with

666
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: the regularity, just is missing that extra gear to go

667
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: from the second level to the third level and take

668
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: a seventeen yard run and turn it into a seventy

669
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: yard run. He's not that guy, but he's very effective.

670
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: And the NFL, by and large is not a seventy

671
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run league. That's in college. But if you

672
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: can rip off you know these five, six, seven, eight, ten, twelve,

673
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: fifteen yard runs like it works. And I think you

674
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: look at the at the top two rookie rushers in

675
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's Tyrone Tracy right who has the title

676
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: right now, and a few yards behind him is Bucky Irping.

677
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Both those guys are averaging five point one yards per carry,

678
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: and I think really at the end of this game,

679
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: the running back who has the most yards is probably

680
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: going to be on the winning team because both of

681
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: these teams are going to come in looking to run

682
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: to win this game. It's going to be a big

683
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: staple of the offense for both teams because the passing

684
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: game is not as robust without Chris Godwin as it

685
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: is in Tampa and Tommy DeVito's you know, going to

686
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: be playing for the first time this year. Really, so

687
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: I think that this will come down to whoever has

688
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: the better game between Tyrone Tracy and Bucky Irving probably

689
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: will be on the winning team.

690
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 3: Final question, I'll make it a two part before your

691
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 3: Scott Tristan Worf's were we with him in the Bucks

692
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: offensive line. And then part two of that is Baker

693
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: still a little bit reckless. I think it's too strong

694
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 3: of a word, but will He's still with his confident

695
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: way of playing. Put the ball into some areas and

696
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 3: give the defense a chance to make some plays on

697
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: the ball.

698
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, he did that a little bit against the

699
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Falcons without having Mike and Chris in the game. But

700
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: the last two games against the Chiefs and the forty

701
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: nine Ers, he's done a really good job of avoiding interceptions. Again,

702
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: the concern there is with Mike Evans back, is he

703
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: going to get a little too greedy and try to

704
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: force things in there make up for lost time with Mike.

705
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: That's something he has to safeguard himself against there. And

706
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I think that he knows that the margin for error

707
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers is not great at all, Like this

708
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: will come down to whoever wins the turnover battle probably

709
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: wins the game. Matter of fact, the Buccaneers have actually

710
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: been plus one in the turnover margin over the last

711
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: two games against the Chiefs and the forty nine Ers

712
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: and still lost close games. So if Baker throws an

713
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: interception or two, they're not going to win this game,

714
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: and I think he realizes that. To Tristan Wurf's point,

715
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: the injury that he's sustained against the forty nine ers

716
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: was not as bad as it initially seemed. It's a

717
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: PCL sprain or I believe in it's an MCL sprain.

718
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: So he actually was practicing this week. I don't think

719
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: the team plays him. They're going to make sure when

720
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: he comes back, he's going to come back for good.

721
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Justin School is the swing tackle and he got some

722
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: playing time against the forty nine ers last week. Gave

723
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: up a sack to Nick Bosa. Know there's no shame

724
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: in that Boas is one of the best pass rushers

725
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: in the league. But School started four games at right

726
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: tackle this year in place of Luke Gettikey and got

727
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: better every single week that he played, after a rough

728
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: outing in Detroit when he gave up three sacks to

729
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson. But the fact that he's played, I think

730
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: gives this team some confidence. But it's really going to

731
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: be decided in the trenches. When you look at at

732
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: the rookie Graham Barton the center against Dexter Lawrence, that

733
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: that's a key matchup to watch. But also to the

734
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: tackles Luke Gettikey on the right side, justin school that

735
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: backup tackle on the left side. Can they keep Brian

736
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: Burns and Azizo Gelai off of Baker Mayfield and let

737
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: him find Mike Evans and have enough time to find

738
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: him field.

739
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it looks like Keavon tib will be back

740
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 3: as well this week. And they better not just have

741
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: graam Bar and tried to block Dexter Lawrence by himself

742
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 3: because that does not does generally go well for anybody

743
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: that plays center or gordon the league. And I'll leave

744
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: it with this guy as we say goodbye. You mentioned

745
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 3: the turnover stuff for the box. Here's a stat you

746
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 3: can use on your stuff over the weekend. Okay, so

747
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: the Giants have played ten games this week this year.

748
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: They have not won the turnover battle in any game.

749
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: They've been either even or minus in every single game

750
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: this year.

751
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: Wow.

752
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: I had the folks over at Statsink look this up

753
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: for me. They have stats going back to nineteen fifty.

754
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: It is the longest single season streak in the history

755
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: of the New York Football Giants.

756
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: Wow. That's that's something. And unfortunately that speaks to the record.

757
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: You know you have to protect the ball to win

758
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: the game more often than not. And if you're not

759
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: winning the turnover battle, you know you're probably not winning

760
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: the games.

761
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Giants are two and two in the games where

762
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: they've been even and they are zero to six in

763
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: the games that they've been negative. So they'll try to

764
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 3: break that streak this weekend. Scott, good stuff, by friend.

765
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: Tell the folks who they can find all your fantastic work.

Speaker 3: us all the insight we need on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now,

787
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: let's turn to the head coach of the NYG, Brian Dable,

788
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: with the voice of the NYG, Bob Popo.

789
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 6: As always were joined by the head coach of the

790
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 6: New York Giants, Brian Dabel. Giants coming off the bike

791
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 6: coach obviously made the switch at quarterback that news broke

792
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 6: earlier this week.

793
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: How has the.

794
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 6: Team reacted and how has Tommy DeVito reacted to the

795
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 6: workload this week as far as getting ready for the

796
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 6: specific game.

797
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, Tommy's doing everything he can do to prepare himself

798
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 7: to play against a tough defense, a pressure defense, and

799
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 7: everybody else is trying to do the same thing. They're

800
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 7: trying to improve everything they can improve players, coaches, and

801
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 7: to get ready to play, to play a good game.

802
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: Coach.

803
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 6: Obviously, last year he got six starts for you and

804
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 6: he played well. For you in the preseason this year.

805
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 6: What areas of growth have you seen in him from

806
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 6: going year one as an undrafted rookie free agent to

807
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 6: year two over the NFL.

808
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 7: Well, he's been in the system for a year, and

809
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 7: I think experience helps. He's got to play, you know,

810
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 7: start six games last year and playing a couple other ones.

811
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 7: You know, time will tell in terms of him getting

812
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 7: out there and playing. And you know there's areas of

813
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 7: improvement that we've talked to him about and he's working

814
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 7: hard to improve.

815
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 6: On him all right. One of the things that's been

816
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 6: great for you guys is Tyrone Tracy and you know,

817
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 6: a combination of he and Devin Singletary and the entire

818
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 6: run game. Talk about the challenges that you're gonna have

819
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 6: to deal with today going against this Tampa Bay front

820
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: led by v to B.

821
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's the start of it. He's a he's

822
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 7: a tough man to block. You know, we're gonna have

823
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 7: to do a good job of getting a hat for

824
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 7: a hat and you know there'll be some some tough

825
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 7: yards in there. But you know, being able to run

826
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 7: the football has been good for us. It helps us

827
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 7: with everything else. Staying on track, minimizing some some third

828
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 7: down situations where they'd really like to get after the quarterback.

829
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 7: So it'll be an important part. It'll be it'll be

830
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 7: a tough challenge. They have a lot of good players,

831
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 7: you know, David's been a you know, historically a good

832
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 7: player Winfield via a Gabby has has really come on

833
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 7: here in his second year, and it'll be it'll be

834
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 7: a challenge, but something that you know, we're gonna have

835
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 7: to do a good job with.

836
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 6: Todd Bowles has always been about kind of bringing pressures

837
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 6: and they do it in a lot of different ways.

838
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 6: How important is it, you know, for communication? Obviously it's

839
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 6: a home game, so crowd noise shouldn't be a factor,

840
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 6: but being able to communicate because he's gonna give a

841
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 6: lot of different looks. As far as ways that he

842
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 6: likes to get to his pressure, Yeah, no question about it.

843
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 7: Todd's been doing it for a long time. You know,

844
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 7: worked with him back in twenty eleven. He's been successful

845
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 7: at doing it. He gives you a variety of looks.

846
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 7: They're challenging. You know, it was a long bye week,

847
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 7: long week getting ready for him because of the looks

848
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 7: that they present and We're gonna have to do a

849
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 7: good job of communicating the center position, the quarterback position,

850
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 7: all the linemen tied in together. You know, it'll be

851
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 7: important to try to stay out of those situations as well,

852
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 7: you know, the second and longs, the third and lungs

853
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 7: where you know, there's a variety of them and it

854
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 7: requires a tremendous amount of detail communication to be able

855
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 7: to operate. You know, you see so many games that

856
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 7: they've played and there's a lot of free runners on

857
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 7: the quarterback in the past game or in the run game.

858
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 7: So we're all gonna have to be tied in. That'll

859
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 7: be a huge element to this game.

860
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 6: Go to the other side of the ball. Baker Mayfield

861
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,439
Speaker 6: in year number two with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he's

862
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 6: accounted for the third most touchdowns of any quarterback in

863
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 6: the NFL Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and then Baker Mayfield's

864
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 6: accounted for twenty six twenty four passing two running. You know,

865
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 6: he's a gunslinger. We saw the play that he had

866
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 6: against San Francisco where he's you know, basically stiff arming

867
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 6: a defensive lineman and still getting the completion out of it.

868
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 6: What is it about Baker that creates such a burden

869
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 6: and pressure on a defense.

870
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a very smart player. Had an opportunity to

871
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 7: meet Baker back in twenty eighteen when we looked at quarterbacks.

872
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 7: He's strong, he's accurate, he's a competitor. He's a fiery competitor,

873
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 7: I would say, a leader. He's not afraid to pull

874
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 7: the trigger. He plays with good timing. Players rally around him.

875
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 7: You can see the leadership that he has. And you know,

876
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 7: he's done a nice job job here at Tampa Bay,

877
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 7: and he's had his own journey, and you know when

878
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 7: we evaluate him and worked him out and got to

879
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 7: meet him, was a big fan of him then, and

880
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 7: you know he's had his own journey in the NFL

881
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 7: and he's really doing a nice job here with Tampa.

882
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 6: Someone that you know and that I know well, Charlie

883
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 6: Weiss was a big fan of Baker, and he always

884
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 6: said he's like a pied piper. He's a natural leader

885
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 6: and teammates gravitate toward him. Do you see that when

886
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: you watch the film of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that

887
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 6: he is sort of that central figure in kind of

888
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 6: rallying the team.

889
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely. You know saw that back in twenty eighteen.

890
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 7: You know, he's you know, he's got a good way

891
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 7: about himself in terms of how he plays and bringing

892
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 7: people along with him, giving guys opportunities to make plays,

893
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 7: and he trusts what he sees, he lets it rip,

894
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 7: and he plays with a very aggressive mindset, whether he's

895
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 7: throwing the ball or at times running with the football.

896
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 6: Speaking of running, they have two backs that bring a

897
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 6: little different styles, but they can bring a level of

898
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 6: physicality that's pretty impressive. Talk about White and Irving and

899
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 6: the challenges that they put against the defense because they

900
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 6: both can catch the ball out of the backfield, they

901
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 6: make explosive plays. What are some of the things that

902
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 6: make them unique and that will be difficult for your

903
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 6: defense to deal with today.

904
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd say they both have great contact, balance, vision,

905
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 7: open field running, all the things that good running backs have,

906
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 7: and they do it at a high level. They got

907
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 7: good speed, short space quickness, make a yards when they

908
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 7: get the ball in their hand. That's the most important

909
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 7: thing for a running back, and both of them do

910
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 7: that well.

911
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 6: Coach, obviously, they lost Godwin who's a good vertical threat,

912
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 6: and Mike Evans is coming off a hamstring injury. When

913
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 6: you look at Evans, I mean he's got the streak

914
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 6: of a thousand yard receiving years in a row, and

915
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 6: he's really good with contested balls. When you're dealing with

916
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 6: a guy like a Mike Evans is something that have

917
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 6: to be reminded of your players, is like, at any moment,

918
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 6: the ball's coming and the play's never over with him.

919
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, one of the better receivers to ever

920
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 7: do it. Impressive career. He's very instinctive player. He's got

921
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 7: unbelievable hands, catch radius. They'll move him in spots and

922
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 7: you know, the closer you get to the goal line,

923
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 7: the more he even shows up. And you know, even

924
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 7: when he's covered at times he's not covered because of

925
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 7: his ball skills and his ability to adjust and make

926
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 7: plays on contested catches. Fantastic player.

927
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 6: And just finally, Sterling Shepherd, obviously a long time Giant,

928
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 6: is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's had some success

929
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 6: here this year. You had a chance to coach him

930
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 6: for two years. He was a fantastic player for this franchise.

931
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 6: What was it like coaching coaching a guy I like Shephard?

932
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, A lot of energy. Competitive, competitive person, you know,

933
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 7: very smart, instinctive receiver, knows how to set up guys

934
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 7: and routes and he's been doing it for a long
