00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: are breaking down a preseason victory for the Giants. To

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: open things up here with a win over the Patriots

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: in Foxborough at Gilt Stadium, Graham Gano with a walk

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: off twenty four yard field goal to hand the Giants

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the w. Plenty to take away from this game, more

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: so from an individual perspective than a team perspective. A

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: little bit later on, we'll hear from head coach Brian

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: dab will get his thoughts on his Giants head coaching debut,

17
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: and will also hear some locker room reaction as well. Jeff.

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: It's started off with Daniel Jones and company. They were

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: in for two series. They were able to put together

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: an impressive first drive. They got all the way down

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: the field. Unfortunately, Daniel Jones Kenny Galady were not able

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: to hook up, so they had to settle for a

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: field goal. But other than that, you like to see

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: them get out to that fast start and established their

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: presence in the communication was there and the ability to

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: mix in the run as well as the past. Well,

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I like mixing in the run. I think that, you know,

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: just because where Brian Dable came from, and you know,

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: you got Josh Allen and that offense. That's a prolific

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: offense they have up there throwing the football around. And

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: of course Josh Allen was the running guy. But listen,

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: let me tell you, they didn't have a se Kwon

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Barkley up there. So this team is gonna run the football.

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to run the football as much as

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: they can. They did that tonight for seventy seven net

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: yards rushing the average five point yards to carry on

37
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: thirty three carries. So you'll take that in a regular

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: season for sure. But you know a couple of things

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: that happened. That offensive line got beat up a little

40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: bit coming into the game. They were beat up a

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: little bit because it would happen in practices. So you know,

42
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: this is one thing that's that's bad about the preseason games.

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: You you know, you just try to stay as healthy

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: as you can, but it's inevitable that something's always going

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: to happen in a game, and it normally does. But

46
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: hopefully those guys can come back and and get healthy soon.

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: But overall, offensively, Tyrod Taylor shows you he's a good quarterback,

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: and come in when he does. And then Davis Webb

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: h comes in there and plays the whole second half,

50
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: leaves his team down, drives down to the end of

51
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: the game kick a field goal to win. And that's

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: what you want to do. You want to have as

53
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: a coaching staff. You want to have those moments either

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: right before this half and again at the end of

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the game to drive down and make a They have

56
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: those in practice every day. Speaking of Tyrod Taylor, Richie

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: James made the most of his snaps with deflected catch

58
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden the touchdown. Greb and listen,

59
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: those none of that stuff goes unnoticed. And because you

60
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: know the tip ball, then that's a drill. These guys

61
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: doing practice. Uh So they say you practice how you play.

62
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: These things carry over from practice into the games. If

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: you do things the right way and practice, sometimes they'll

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: come out on the good end, like he did catching

65
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: the ball like that. Now you brought up the offensive

66
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: line injuries. Shane Lemieu, he was in for the first

67
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: year reas he left with a toe injury. He was

68
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: seen in a boot on the sideline. Then Jamil Douglas,

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: a backup offensive lineman who they brought in from Buffalo

70
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: this offseason, he left with an ankle issue. And then

71
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Cordell Flott, the rookie corner he left with a groin injury.

72
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: So the bulk of the injuries, as I just mentioned,

73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and Jeff is a position that's

74
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: already been decimated by injuries during camp. Macgono had to

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: leave the team with a neck injury. He's no longer

76
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: in the mix. And Marcus mckeithon one of their draft picks,

77
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: is out for the season with a torn a c L. Yeah,

78
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: and really, when you look at coming into training camp

79
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: and even coming into this game, the depth at the

80
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: defensive line was, you know, it's it was starting to duendo.

81
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Marcus mckeathon, Like you said, and mc and O. Those

82
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: guys are out for the season. Um, so that puts

83
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: a blow to your depth because those guys were not starters.

84
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: They were definitely gonna be something you could see on

85
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: the on the depth side of the offensive line. And

86
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: then again Cordell Flott, one of your draft picks gets

87
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: And again the cornerback position was a little bit thin too,

88
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: because really, when you talk about those first three, your

89
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: four guys behind them, not a lot of depth and

90
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: also a young and unproven group for the most part,

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: not a lot of experience. More what I'm talking about

92
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: as far as depth, they're there, but they don't have

93
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of experience. So there's really to me, that's

94
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: that's a tough situation. You'd like to have some guys

95
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: in there, like your high draft picks, because you have

96
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: confidence that those guys can come and play right away.

97
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: So that is tonight's game breakdown. It is brought to

00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: As the Giants came out victorious in their first preseason

108
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: game of two thousand twenty two. Let's run you through

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: the statistics or Tonight's game brought to you by Pepsi Giants.

110
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Watching is better with Pepsi, the official soft drink of

111
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Tyrod Taylor thirteen of twenty one

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: for a hundred twenty nine yards with a touchdown pass

113
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: to Richie James. Daniel Jones played the first two series

114
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: six of ten for sixty nine yards, and then Davis

115
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Webb came in eight of sixteen for fifty one yards.

116
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: He did help orchestrate the game winning drive that's set

117
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: up Graham Gano's twenty four yard field goal. They ran

118
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: the ball thirty three times for hundred seventy seven yards.

119
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: It was Antonio Williams, another former Buffalo Bill, who led

120
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the way with nine carries. For sixty one yards and

121
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Gary Brightwell draft pick from last year seven

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: carries for forty yards, and sat Kawan Barkley was out

123
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: there for the first series. He ran the ball four

124
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: times for thirteen yards. In the receiving corps, Colin Johnson

125
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: seven catches or eighty two yards. Richie James I mentioned

126
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: he had the touchdown grab amongst his three grabs for

127
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: forty four yards, and j John Corbin, undrafted rookie at

128
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: a Florida State five catches for twenty eight yards. So

129
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: those were some of the offensive notable performances. And then

130
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: you had on the defensive side of the ball, Darren

131
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Evans austed callitro and Mikeael McFadden the rookie leading the

132
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: way with four tackles. The Giants did have one sack

133
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: on the day as well. We were talking about the

134
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: offensive series to start the game. In terms of the

135
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, some of the normal regular

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: starters did not play today and we expected that, but

137
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: this was a big test, as you were alluding to

138
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: right before we stepped aside. Jeff for the secondary flat

139
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: got hurt, but it was Aaron Robinson who was tested

140
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: early in this game, he picked up two penalties on

141
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: a scoring drive for the Patriots, and he's going to

142
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: be asked to assume the role left behind by James

143
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Bradbury this offseason. Well, you know, listen, I think that

144
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: the more you can get experience and play these games

145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and in practice and things like that. But to your

146
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: point is that he's gonna have to get better, uh

147
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: more importantly for the penalties, because you know that those

148
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: are big penalties and games. Um, anytime you have a

149
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: uh defensive pass interference, it's it's not a it's not

150
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: it's a spot foul. So you're gonna get all those yards.

151
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: So that's a that's a big thing. So learned to

152
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: play within the game. The taunting one, certainly you can

153
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: control that because that's an emotional one. Uh. Some of

154
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the other ones, that's those those a tough position to

155
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: play if their judgment things and you're gonna you just

156
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: gotta be careful out there. But yeah, as far as

157
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: and then we talked a little bit about the depth position,

158
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: so a lot of a lot of things. As if

159
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: you're a coaching staff, you get to go back tomorrow

160
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: and start looking at some of the things that these

161
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: guys did in the game to try to help yourself

162
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: in that depth and see which guys can move up

163
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna move down. He also had a holding

164
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: penalty in the end zone. It was declined because of

165
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: the touchdown. So you really had a mix of everything.

166
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: And with respect to this secondary, it's important to know, Jeff,

167
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: you look at Wink Martindale's defense, he asks his guys

168
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to go out on an island and defend, especially when

169
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: you're aggressive and you're blitzing, which means you're not leaving

170
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot of safety valves back on the defensive side

171
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: of the ball in terms of the secondary, and you know,

172
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: and again, you can only go as far as your personnel.

173
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: And I think if you look at what Wink Martindale

174
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: ran into last year when he was with the Ravens,

175
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: that team was very beat up and they were one

176
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: of the teams that gave up the most big plays

177
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: in the league. And so you know, you have to

178
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: rely on that. But again, you've got to have good personnel.

179
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of times as a coach, that might

180
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: be your strength is what you try to do. However,

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: your strength if you don't have enough strength on your personnel,

182
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: you may not be able to play that type of

183
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: a defense that you want to all the time. And

184
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: that's why this is important, because it's the feel it

185
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: out process to determine to your point, who can emerge

186
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: out of the second that we're also from Winks perspective,

187
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: what I ran in Baltimore, what I've already implemented. Can

188
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: we actually let that free flow in the early stage

189
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: of the season or do I need to rein it

190
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: back a little bit based on the experience or the

191
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: lack they were of in the second there. And I

192
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: think that once you get a zesosl Ai healthy and

193
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: get in that lineup and him and Thibodeau rushing the

194
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: pass or that might help a little bit of things.

195
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that this is a feeling

196
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: out process. It will start to be uh kind of

197
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: get to an idea of what you want to do

198
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: once the season starts. But remember the preseason, you don't

199
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: get a full cast of your guys. They're not playing

200
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: every single down in the preseason, so it is trying

201
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: to it iskind of hard to get a, you know,

202
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: a sense of what your defense is going to be

203
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: like in the preseason. We will get more into the

204
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: ins and outs of the player performances throughout the course

205
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: of PEPSI Giants Extra Point. But in the meantime, Brian

206
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: Dable is addressing the media. Let's listen in yes, so

207
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: let's we're here in the interview room underneath you let's stadium.

208
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: Brian Dable will be walking into the room here a

209
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: momentarily as we await his first ever press conference as

210
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: the Giants head coach. He was, uh and route down

211
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: the hallway and apparently there's been a detour because I

212
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: saw his head popped through the door and then it

213
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: disappeared again. So he will keep an eye out for

214
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: the head coach. You know, is this very exciting day

215
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: for him. You know, we had a chance to talk

216
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: to him this morning and he talked about how exciting

217
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: this was for him, being his first ever time being

218
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: NFL head coach. And you know, he's dumb press conferences

219
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: throughout the offseason training camp, but this will be his

220
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: first time addressing the media after the game in a

221
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: postgame press conference. But you know, we spoke to us

222
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: this morning about how, you know the most important thing

223
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: in these game situations, the valuation of the preseason but also, um,

224
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: he wants to win. He's a big competitor, so it's

225
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: import him to get the wind that would joined him

226
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: at the podium. Right now, the light is terrible. How's

227
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: everybody doing? Um? So, Uh, it's a competitive The guys

228
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: played competitive, and I thought the organization on the sideline

229
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: was good. And have many wasted time outs on substitution

230
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: errors or getting calls in late Um. I lost the

231
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: time out there on a on a challenge, So that

232
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: was my first one and I lost that one. Um,

233
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: but some good, some bad, big week for us this

234
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: week coming up. But I liked how they competed. I

235
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: liked how physical they played. Um, certainly there's a lot

236
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: of areas to clean up and and that's what we'll

237
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: try to do after we watch the tape. As far

238
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: as injuries, only two that I got into Lemieux right

239
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: now and Jamil and then I'll get updated here on

240
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: the train red home. You was gonna walking movie afterwards?

241
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Is that long term concerning? Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna

242
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: meet with Ronny and those guys on the way back. Um,

243
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: hope not. Well, what do you think of in the

244
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: first Uh, yeah, it was some some good, and you know,

245
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: some things we could we could add back what was

246
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: he six to ten? You know, we threw a couple

247
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: of vertical plays there. Um, they had a couple of

248
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: free runners relative to the protection. But I thought he

249
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: operated the offense. Well. You let him down on the

250
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: first drive. We stalled there in the red zone, and um,

251
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, good first start, but certainly things are clean

252
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: up running back up that second series, like what made

253
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: you decide to get an ad friend and the one

254
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: when I was going to play him the first quarter

255
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: that was the plan. So that kind of stayed true

256
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: to plan. And then we played with Tyrond the second

257
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: quarter and then then Davis the last two. So in

258
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: terms of the playtime, most of it stuck through to

259
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: what we talked about before the game. Um, those things

260
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: we had to just here. They're based on a guy

261
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: coming out. But you know, I thought the coaches did

262
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: a really good job. They were organized with that, and um,

263
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: we'll just keep on grinding away. Uh, Aaron Robinson had

264
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: a pretty eventful night. You made some good plays, and

265
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: then even on the one yeah he had, I thought

266
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: he competed. Well, I mean that's you're you're playing corner

267
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: when you're playing a lot of man and man and

268
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: in the preseason to get a good evaluation. And I

269
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: thought he competed. You know, we will learn from from

270
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: that penalty that we had down there. Um, but I

271
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: thought he competed teams to a little bit more than

272
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, every team has their own philosophy. Offensively,

273
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for the other teams. I

274
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: think we've got to be ready to defend all areas

275
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: of the field on defense, um, on the perimeter, inside

276
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and a running game. Him. I mean, that's why we

277
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 1: played defense. So, um, I mean I I don't want

278
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: to speak for any other teams. You mentioned it, yeah, yeah, yeah,

279
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: um yeah, I lost the challenge. I was upset about that. Um,

280
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: that was my first one. So I just thought that

281
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: the coaches did a good job and their respective I

282
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: think Wink had his staff really organized. Kafka did a

283
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: really good job. I think he communicated well throughout the game. Again,

284
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: we're not making a ton of adjustments here, and um,

285
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: you know I was. I was pleased with that. Again,

286
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: Please with the substitutions. I mean, it's our first step.

287
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: It's you know, I'm pleased with the way they competed.

288
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll go back, we'll watch the tape,

289
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: we'll learn from it, and we'll try to get better. Strange. Yeah, yeah,

290
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it was. Strange was, But for

291
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the game, you know, you're and the night before you're

292
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: going through so many things in your head and thinking

293
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: about situations. Well, it's the preseason, regular season, the playoff game,

294
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: whatever may be. Um, you know, it's a it's a

295
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: tough job to call plays and you gotta really put

296
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of time and effort and energy into it.

297
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: And Mike's done a good job with it. Again, it's

298
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: his his first game. Um. Certainly there's no game planning

299
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: going on, but in the operation of calling it, UM,

300
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: getting it in quick to the quarterbacks, giving little reminders.

301
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: I thought he did a good job. He was. Um no, no,

302
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean I thought about it. I thought the best spot. Um,

303
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, I called the plays upstairs. We'll see what

304
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: we do this week against Cincinnati. Um. I'll talk about

305
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: talk about with Mike before I get it to you guys.

306
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: But it was good operation offensively, wonder especially with some

307
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: guys going down. Yeah, I always think you can use

308
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: as much depth as you can get. But those guys

309
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: that came in relatively new to upfront really did a

310
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: good job with that. Bobby had them, you know, prepared,

311
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: just learning calls and communicating with one another. Um, and

312
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: then the same thing. You can you know, you can

313
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: never have too many corners, as once a old coach said, so, um,

314
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, but the guys that competed and we're out there,

315
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, playing, I thought they did. Uh, they did

316
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: a good job, pretty good night. He's a guy you

317
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: see you watching practice and it doesn't always look like

318
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, going well, but then the lights go

319
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: on tonight and look like you really perform well a

320
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: little where you were asking, Yeah, I think he's had

321
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: a good camp. He's been flexible for us and inside

322
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: and snapping and also playing guard. He's smart, tough, dependable. Um,

323
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: you know again, I have to go back and watch

324
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: all the tape. But boys, you competitive on the sideline too.

325
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: UM tells you what he sees. He's a good communicator,

326
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: he's a good he's a good player for us with

327
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of room though slightly were the other guys.

328
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah Andrew was gonna get one series. Yes, Andrew got

329
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: one series. And bark Uh Kawanton offense got the one

330
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: series UM and they were out. He did not know

331
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: everybody that was injured or working rehabbing, whatever it may be,

332
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: that weren't able to play. They were going to stay

333
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: home and rehab with the trainers and try to get

334
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: those guys up to speed the best weekend so we

335
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: can be ready to go UM in our next game,

336
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: I hope. So yeah, I think he's working hard. Um. Again,

337
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: everything we do, we talk about and try to do

338
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: what's best for the player. So UM, we'll see. You know,

339
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: they've had a couple of days here yesterday, today, tomorrow,

340
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: UM kind of recover and we'll see where we're at.

341
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Each tweet something new and that practice we saw them

342
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: was that more? This is more than just recovering. Yeah,

343
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, with all due respect, I'm just

344
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: not going to get into the specifics of it, um

345
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: really with anybody. But he's working back. We'll see where

346
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: he's at when we get back. Letard everything. Yeah, same deal.

347
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: All those guys, all those guys we left back were

348
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: for reasons that we thought, you know, rehabbing, being in

349
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: the training room would serve them better than being here.

350
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: And if they were here, they would they would have

351
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: played team got to charge out getting in and absolutely yeah, absolutely, Um,

352
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we were down there towards the end

353
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: of the game and we we there were some guys

354
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: that hadn't played. Jets wanted to make sure that that

355
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: everybody came on the trip had an opportunity to play. Um.

356
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: And that's not the easiest situation either, when they're trying

357
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: to rip out the ball and you you're not loose

358
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: and you're warmed up. Um. You know, he's such a

359
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: good young man. Uh. I was happy for him. I

360
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: think his teammates were too. What about Yeah, he did

361
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: the same thing for Yeah. Yeah, Now, just you know, impressed.

362
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean I can't imagine, you know, coming to a

363
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: different place and playing sport you haven't really played all

364
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: your life and just a communication. I mean, you know

365
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: where to put your neepads, how to turn them. I mean,

366
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: there's so many things that you just take for granted.

367
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: And he's such a good young person. Um. You know,

368
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: he's physically talented and we're working with him every day

369
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: to help him learn this game. The best week can all.

370
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: Good safe trip, guys, y'all driving home tonight tomorrow. All right.

371
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: So that was head coach Brian Dable speaking with the

372
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: media following his team's win over the New England Patriots.

373
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: He didn't go into great detail about the injuries. He

374
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: said he's gonna wait to find out more information on

375
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: the train ride home. And the players that didn't participate

376
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: weren't even with the team. They wanted to leave them

377
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: back in rehab and it's understandable at this point as

378
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: opposed to having them stand around on the sidelines and

379
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: not really getting much working in the medium time while

380
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: they're actually gearing up for practice next week or the

381
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: upcoming games. Yeah, I mean there's really no no meetings

382
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: going on that you know, the days before other than

383
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: just you know, brief ones. But it's better for the

384
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: players that beat back, like you heard Brian say that

385
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: Cork table. Either we're there yesterday, today, and tomorrow. So

386
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: that's three days of good rehabbing if you're if you're

387
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: hurt or if you're you know, coming back from an injury.

388
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Those are just those are very they're probably there down

389
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: there three days, three times a day, that treatment stuff.

390
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: So that's uh, that's good works. You've got three six

391
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: you got nine treatment sessions, so it makes sense for

392
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: them to stay back. So some injuries to the offensive

393
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: line and the secondary will step aside. When we come back,

394
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of the position battles that will

395
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: continue to play out throughout the course of training camp

396
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: in the preseason, and look ahead to the next contest

397
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: as the Giants will return home for the Cincinnati Bengals.

398
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: We will be back right after this. This is Darius

399
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Slayton and you're listening to the radio Home a Big

400
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: Blue the Fan, w f A n and w f

401
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: A n f M New York Giants for the first

402
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: in goal to seven, Taylor under center, takes the staff,

403
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: drops back, throws a slat over the middle car for

404
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Ritchie James right in the middle of the

405
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: end zone off to our left, and he gives the

406
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Giants the league. That was tonight's play the game. It

407
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: is brought to you by your local Ford stores. Visit

408

Speaker 1: by Ford now dot com for the official vehicle of

409
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. And it was a seven yard

410
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor to Richie James, Captain eleven

411
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: play eighties, six yard drive that took four fifty off

412
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: the clock of the second quarter as the Giants took

413
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: a ten seven lead, and we welcome you back to

414
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: Pepsi Giants Extra Point Lands Meadow. Jeff Feagles with you

415
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: and Richie James certainly one of the highlighted players worth

416
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: noting from this contest. Wide receiver. A lot of depth

417
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: at that spot as we look ahead to the finalizing

418
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: of the fifty three man roster, and James in particular

419
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: is interesting, Jeff, because, as you well know from playing

420
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: special teams, if you're going to be the sixth wide receiver,

421
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: let's say they keep seven, those two guys in particular,

422
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make the fifty three man roster, you

423
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: know you have to play special teams. Now, with Richie James,

424
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: he's documented that during his Niners playing days, he was

425
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: a return man. But the one thing that we haven't

426
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: seen enough coming into this year was could he be

427
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: a reliable, valuable wide receiver. And I think he certainly

428
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: demonstrated that tonight. You and I talked about this. Um

429
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: did those points that you just made, because I really

430
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: we know he's a returner, he's he can do that. Well,

431
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: we know he's a special teams guy, he's covered kicks,

432
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: he's done things like that. But really he's a wide receiver.

433
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: So this is the time you have to identify your

434
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers and your depth. And you can't take keep

435
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: ten of them. Um, I mean the most you can

436
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: maybe keep his seven. I gotta think that the Giants

437
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: in this type of offense, you've got to have at

438
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: least six right because you're gonna line up four four

439
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: wide sometimes, so you've got two or three that are

440
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: going to be your backup guys and um, and they

441
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: have to play the special team. So this is interesting.

442
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: Colin Johnson is doing nothing but great things to make

443
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: this football team. He's a big target, by the way,

444
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: a good red zone threat for him and Golladay are

445
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: both over six ft three. Those are good targets for you.

446
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: By the way. You've also got a couple of tight

447
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: ends that ll have some nice height to them too,

448
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: And then you've got your little shrimpos that can you

449
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: can throw a little dink and duncs and and Richie

450
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: James is one of those guys, so along with Canarius,

451
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Tony and one Dale. Robin said, So it'll be very

452
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see how that wide receiver room shapes up,

453
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: and again, like you said, Lance would talk more about

454
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: it going forward into the regular season, about how you

455
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: can play special teams and how that's going to help

456
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: you make the team as a wide receiver. Robert Forster's

457
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: another name we saw a little bit and talked about

458
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: to day. He was a gunner for the Buffalo Bills.

459
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: He has history and a relationship with the GM as

460
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: well as the head coach, so maybe he carves out

461
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: a role. I think the six to seven wide receiver conversation,

462
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: you get to that point depending on a few things.

463
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: Jeff number one Sterling shepherds on pup right now. If

464
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: he stays on pop and we're just going down the

465
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: hypothetical road, that opens the door for another roster spot

466
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: right there up and by the way, you don't have

467
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: to keep that gives you a roster spot, so you

468
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: stay at the number. Then. The other factor I think

469
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: that plays a role is maybe they're not enamored by

470
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: all the tight ends and they say we'll keep one

471
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: less tight end because to your point, if you're gonna

472
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: play more wide receiver sets, maybe it makes more sense

473
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: to keep an additional wide receiver as opposed to a

474
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: tight end. Remember Ricky Seals Jones is hurt right now.

475
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: He's one of the veteran tight ends they brought in.

476
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: You keep Daniel Bellinger, you keep another tight end. Maybe

477
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: you keep Jeremiah Hole the fullback for example, and match there.

478
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: We we did a show on our Big Bog Blue

479
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Kickoff Live. We were talking about an NFL dot com

480
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: article the other day that had the Giants as their

481
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: their opening day uh formation was four wides and no

482
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: tight end. There you go, So that I mean not

483
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: to say that that's going to happen, but if then

484
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: that in that theory, then you've got to have at

485
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: least seven receivers. I mean, do you have to? So um, yeah,

486
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: it's good to be interesting. But again, the other thing

487
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: that is a factor there is is injuries and depth

488
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: at other positions. So if you're running, and that's how

489
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: things shorten up. A lot of times you say, okay,

490
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: my perfect scenario would be six receivers. Well, all of

491
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: a sudden, now I've got to carry. I gotta go

492
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: out and get an extra guy here or an extra

493
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: guy there. Then that thing goes down and then you're

494
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: you're kind of messed up with the numbers game, and

495
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: we always play the numbers game at the end of

496
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: training camp and we always try to figure out how

497
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna get twenty five on offense and twenty five

498
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: on defense and the three special teams. That's the perfect world, right,

499
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: So sometimes it doesn't happen that way because of injuries

500
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: and things like that. It never balances out normally. And

501
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about offensive line injuries cornerbacks. That's going to

502
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: impact you. You may have to keep a few extra

503
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: offensive I mean, you may have to keep an extra

504
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: defensive back. We uh, we were listening to the broadcast

505
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: on our radio station, and I think that they were

506
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: actually showing on the broadcast on TV that Joe Shane

507
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: was in the box talking to Carl Banks and Bob Popp,

508
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: and I think some of the things he was saying

509
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: to them was the fact that their personnel department is

510
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: going to be busy this week because are looking they're

511
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: always scouting the other team's rosters. Um. But and at

512
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: this point in time, it is still a little bit

513
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: early in training camp, but it's not the earliest and

514
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: it's not the latest. But there are some other guys

515
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: that they got to look out for and and see,

516
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, check the waiver wire and check some guys

517
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: that are on the street. By the way, this is

518
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: why the team brings guys in every single week and

519
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: starts to work them out, because they got to have

520
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: their shortlist, and certainly every team does, and of course

521
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: the Giants do now, and they're gonna have to go

522
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: out and try to see what happens as far as

523
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: how serious these other injuries are, because you never know

524
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: when the injuries are gonna hit. That's more of a

525
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: reason why you need to stay active and stay on

526
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: top of players and agents and build those relationships. The

527
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: other thing that obviously influences the breakdown of the roster

528
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: is we're not just saying, well, you keep extra offensive

529
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: lineman and you keep extra defensive backs because of the injuries.

530
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: You just may not feel great about the depth, and

531
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: therefore value makes you feel better about that. So you

532
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: weren't planning on keeping maybe five additional offensive lineman, but

533
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: out of necessity you have to because maybe one of

534
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: the guys you really like he doesn't have the verse

535
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: of atility to play guard and tackle or center and guard,

536
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: and therefore you have to justify hit additional roster spot

537
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: for that. Well, one thing you hear out of these

538
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: coaches males a lot is that is that position flexibility

539
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: at the offensive line position. And Reticon is another guy

540
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: that that coach Gable had mentioned about. He's you know,

541
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: he's flexible on plane, center and guard for you. He

542
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: can do the time. He Zudo is another guy that

543
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: can skip around and play what you need to. Most

544
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: of the centers and guards are interchangeable. A lot of

545
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: the centers and guard they don't go out to tackle,

546
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: so but the tackles can come inside and play guard.

547
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: So you've gotta have guys that can go in there

548
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: and play different positions because you can only have so

549
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: many Giants Football Presented by Verizon, the network America relies on,

550
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: and the official five G network of the NFL. Lance

551
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Meadow Jeff Feagles with you here as we are recapping

552
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: the Giants victory over the Patriots in Foxboro. We will

553
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: step aside. Coming up, we'll get some player reaction. We

554
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: will also continue to break down this roster, specifically on

555
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball and as they look

556
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: to see who will carve out a role in the

557
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: secondary and what about the linebacking corps and some of

558
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: the young players in that spot will explore that and

559
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: more as we move along. We'll be back right after this.

560
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: Given a Williams up the gut diving for the goal

561
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: line touchdown and Tonio Williams, he puts the Giants on

562
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: top and he deserved that carry. He led him all

563
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: the way down the field. That is tonight's scoring drive

564
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: of the game. It's brought to you by Citizens, the

565
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: official bank of the New York Giants. Citizens is made

566
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: ready for Giants fans and Tonio Williams at two yard run,

567
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: Captain nine play fifty one yard drive. That ate up

568
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: just over four minutes of action in the third quarter

569
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: and it gave the Giants a seventeen fourteen lead. As

570
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: we welcome you back to PEPSI, Giants extra point alongside

571
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Jeff Eagle's I'm lance beddo good to have your board.

572
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: As we are recapping the Giants victory over the Patriots

573
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: in preseason game number one at Giulette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts,

574
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: we were talking about depth at the wide receiver position

575
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line before we transition the defense. Speaking of

576
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: Antonio Williams well running back is another position that the

577
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: Giants gonna have to determine what they want to do behind,

578
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley, Matt Brita, who is another former Buffalo Bill.

579
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of those references when it

580
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: comes to this roster. He didn't play today, so Antonio

581
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Williams got some opportunities. We saw Gary Brightwell, we saw

582
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Jay Shaun Corbin. I think all of these guys who

583
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: came in, Jeff, I think with some decisiveness. Absolutely, they

584
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: all played Plats Commer played and and and you know,

585
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: it's it's great to see him because if for everybody

586
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: doesn't know, this is the international player that was here

587
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: last year. Um, you have another one at the offensive

588
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: line position. I'm not gonna his first name as Roy,

589
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: you can say his last name and Beda. That one's

590
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: not too challenging. So and and I laughed when when

591
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: coach Dable said, you know, there's you gotta tease these

592
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: guys how to put their kneepads. And that's for real

593
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: because they you know, they don't know these guys. It's

594
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: it's funny. So anyways, back to the running back position.

595
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: You know they so please don't change this time you

596
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: got to congratulate a guy like that to come into

597
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: an NFL football game who has no experience playing football.

598
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous when you talk about it so um.

599
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: But the running back position is one of those things

600
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: again that we always talk about special teams because those

601
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: guys there, uh, they make their their hey and special teams.

602
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Gary bright Well was as a special team

603
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: stud he play came out of college because of that,

604
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: and that's that's where the Giants drafted him. But you know,

605
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: you look at these other guys that kind of what

606
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: they had the game today, they had these guys, know,

607
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Matt Britta, I don't know if he's gonna play a

608
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: lot of special teams. So guys like Gary bright Well

609
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: and and Corbin and Williams and these guys, those are

610
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: the ones you're gonna look at and again, how many

611
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: of them are gonna stay on the team because of

612
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: the depth numbers you know at other positions. How many

613
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: running backs to the Giant's going to carry this year

614
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: at three four It'll be interesting. Well, the other thing

615
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: that I think will influence how many they keep and

616
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: who they keep if we just take well the tight end,

617
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: but I was gonna get more to how the running

618
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: backs are utilized Jeff in this system in terms of

619
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

620
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Of me, Barkley had a couple of opportunities out in

621
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: open space. And if you just look at what Buffalo

622
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: and Kansas City did, where Dable and Kafka came from,

623
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: they didn't really utilize the conventional running backs the way

624
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: that you expect them to utilize them, where you give

625
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: them maybe fifty carries a game. Some of those guys

626
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: they did damage more so as receivers than they did

627
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: actually as running backs. Well just Swan Swan Corbin Okay

628
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: comes in there. Six targets, five reception right well, three targets,

629
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: two receptions, so there's seven there's seven receptions right there

630
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: from those guys. So you kind of know. Um. And

631
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we didn't see a lot of it

632
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 1: of Wandell Robinson tonight. We didn't see a lot of well,

633
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: we didn't saw none of Tony. But these guys are

634
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: actually these guys can play a little bit of running

635
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: back too and catch the football out of the backfield.

636
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what you're gonna see going

637
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: into the regular season. So the answer to your question

638
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: is that it's a good one. Is how are these

639
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: guys going to be utilizing both the running and the

640
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: passing game? There are going to all of them are

641
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: going to catch footballs out of the backfield. You just

642
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: watch it in practice. You see the type of offense

643
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: that this that they run, and that's how it's gonna

644
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: work well. And you just entered another realm with respect

645
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: to the roster game Wandell Robinson. If you go into

646
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: the season saying we're gonna give him X amount of carries,

647
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have to keep it additional running back

648
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: because Robinson will be that pseudo type of play. He

649
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: ran the football in college Nebraski is used to doing that.

650
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: And that's kind of again you everyone must realize and

651
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the more you can do, the better off you are. Right.

652
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: So this is kind of when where it all comes

653
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: into position flexibility. I'm gonna beat that word to a death,

654
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: but it makes a big difference that guy. The more

655
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: things you can do, the are often an advantage is

656
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: for us to keep you. And the other reason why

657
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I think this is worth discussing, Jeff, is my takeaway

658
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: from that first series, and once again the Giants were

659
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: gonna come in and display everything. They're gonna kick close

660
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: to the vest exactly because they don't want to give

661
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee an opportunity to really delve into what they're thinking about.

662
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: Because this this is a new staff, it's a new

663
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: offense that's knew everything, so we're gonna keep it new

664
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: for you. But you're also saying to the opponents, at

665
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: least in the early stage of the season, watch as

666
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: much Kansas City and Buffalo film as you want till

667
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: you're blue in the face, until you try to figure

668
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: us out once we establish ourselves on film. My point is, though,

669
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: a lot of those plays, if you just see the

670
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: design and what they ultimately accomplished, they wore in bombs

671
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: down the field, Jeff, some of it with short passes,

672
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: get guys in movement, and then rely on yack you

673
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: already j after the catch, And to me, that was

674
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: once again textbook Buffalo Kansas City offense. These guys are fast,

675
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: these guys are shifty, get them out in open space,

676
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need the quarterback to do all the heavy lifting.

677
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: Let them do the damage. I think we've got a

678
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a taste of that on that opening

679
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: drive today. Also gives your quarterback a lot of confidence

680
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: when you're able to talk about throwing the football and

681
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: just a little dump off passes. Okay, it's a lot

682
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: easier to throw a little three yard out and the

683
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: guy makes ten yards for a thirteen yard game for

684
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: a first down rather than throw a thirteen yard out

685
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: okay against the rushing defense. So it's it's It makes

686
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: it a lot easier on the quarterback. It also makes

687
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: it a lot easier on your offensive coordinator having having

688
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: confidences you can do those. The other component of this

689
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: is gonna set up a lot of those little tiny

690
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: dump off passes. Is the Giants ran for a hundred

691
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards today. If they can keep the running

692
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: game going, that sets up a lot of play action

693
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: passes for a little bit of deeper passes because the

694
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: defense has to honor that short and underneath and play action,

695
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: and then you might be able to pop a couple

696
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: of big ones. And you saw Daniel Jones took a

697
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: shot down the field right sideline to Kenny Golladay on

698
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: that opening drive over the correct But they did try

699
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: to open things up at some point and and and

700
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: and last year. Remember we talked a lot about the

701
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: separation of the ride receivers. There was none last year. Okay.

702
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: And Kenny Golladay is a big guy and he's not

703
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna he's not gonna get a lot of separations. So

704
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: if you're Daniel Jones on that play, you gotta give

705
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: him a little bit. And I'm not gonna get on

706
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones for overthrowing him as early as everything, but

707
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: you know that play a perfect world, a little more

708
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: air in the ball gives a little bit more time

709
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: for a guy like Kenny Golladay to get out in

710
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: front of the defender and then make that play. It

711
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: was just a little bit overthrown because it was just

712
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: on a little bit too much of a line. He's

713
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: the type of player he's gonna beat guys because of

714
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: his size. His frame not necessarily gets going down the

715
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: field and then he's gonna yeah, then he can make up.

716
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: And then by the way, if if and a lot

717
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: of teams, well, we saw the Patriots do it tonight

718
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: on a really good completion. As they throw that back

719
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: shoulder or or whatever you want to call it, it

720
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: looks like an under thrown pass, but it's a designed

721
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: play um and depending on which staff you're playing for,

722
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: a lot of teams don't do it, but a lot

723
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: of teams do do it. I think that this is

724
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: one team that will will will. They'll show you. The

725
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: Giants will show you that that could be a good

726
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: play for them. And part of that is designed to

727
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: also allow the receiver an opportunity to come back to

728
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: the football if he could get a move on the second.

729
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: You can't defend it because if you're the defender, you're

730
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: taught not to look back at the ball because that's

731
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: that's where you get in trouble. So they're taught that way.

732
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: And then if the offense is taught throw it behind

733
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: them because the defender is not going to look behind you,

734
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be a completion every time. And that's

735
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: why it's interested to see some of these preseason games

736
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: just to get a taste of what some of these

737
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: receivers do effectively. Where the communication is at this point

738
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones and company, because once again, this is

739
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: not an excuse, JEF, but the bottom line is here

740
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: we go again. It's another year and another new offense

741
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones and Brian Tabil even has acknowledged that

742
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the off season. It's not once

743
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: again what you're hoping to put a young quarterback through.

744
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: It's just the reality of the constant turnover, the constant change.

745
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is Daniel knows from an individual standpoint,

746
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: the clock is ticking. There's a critical season, final year

747
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: of his deal. They did not pick up the fifth

748
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: year options, So every game, every throw, by default, is

749
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: going to be put onto the microscope as a result. Sure,

750
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: I think one thing that Dania Jones must really like

751
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: is that is that how this offense is has been

752
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: developed and and he's not going to be asked to

753
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: do a whole lot other than just be His completion

754
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: percentage is gonna go up because he's gonna be asked

755
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: to throw a lot of short completions and so and

756
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: and by the way, who would you rather have making

757
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: plays for you than the guys that we have we have,

758
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, we've talked about one Del Robinson, Cadarius Tony.

759
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: These are guys that these are human joysticks. They're they're

760
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna make plays with a three yard catch. We're gonna

761
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 1: watch it all season. And of course you got Sae

762
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley who can do that. I really believe that

763
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: this team is going to be very balanced, but I

764
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: almost I also believe that this team is going to

765
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: run the football more than people think because of say

766
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and how healthy he is, and an improvement

767
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: in that offensive line if they can stay and the

768
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: one area where they really need to run the football,

769
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: And we got a brief taste of that today in

770
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: the red zone. You took the words right out of

771
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: about Jeff Ye. It seems like you've watched a lot

772
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: of Giants football. Well, I watched a lot of Well

773
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: you and I have been doing this for ten years.

774
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: We've talked about this today, and we've seen in that

775
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: ten year span not great production in that red zone.

776
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: And I think that that comes from a couple of things.

777
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: It comes from personnel. I think it comes from coaching.

778
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: I also think it just comes from you know, accuracy

779
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: and being able to do things down there play calling.

780
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: So hopefully you bring some of this offense down into

781
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: that reddick red zone. You've got the short red zone

782
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: and the outside red zone. Those are things you got

783
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: to be able to put because listen, this team to

784
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: compete on any level in the NFL right now, you've

785
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: got to score more than you have in the last

786
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: couple of years, especially when you're hovering around fifteen to

787
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: seventeen points a game over the last two seasons. That's

788
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: not gonna We've talked about this before. You A lot

789
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: of people think that maybe can we just get one

790
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: more touchdown in there? Well, that's a lot scoring one

791
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: touchdown more of a Yeah, that's that's a big that's

792
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: a big jump for a lot of teams. So we'll

793
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: see what happens. You get three to four, that's a strike,

794
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: but that's more realistic than in entire touch I think

795
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: you gotta get into to be respectable in this league.

796
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: You gotta be in the load. You gotta be in

797
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: the twenties, right, I mean that you have to be

798
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: up there. That's that, that's you gotta be. Ideally, you

799
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: want to be more near twenty five to field good

800
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: for this team. To go from seventeen to twenty one

801
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: two is a big jump. But I think you know,

802
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: to be respected and be able to to win some games,

803
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do it, especially since you don't

804
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: want to put additional pressure on your defense, which is

805
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: young hand, unproven and also learning a new scheme. Giants

Speaker 1: as we are breaking down some individual performances from this

830
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: game as well as what to expect in terms of

831
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: the roster breakdown. For every first down recorded by the

832
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: Giants offense this season, Stop at Shop will donate one

Speaker 1: metro area. The Giants first down total for tonight's game

835
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: twenty six. That makes twenty six total first downs this preseason,

836
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: raising a total of two thousand, six hundred dollars. Stopped

837
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Shop is the official supermarket of the New York Giants,

838
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: So Graham Gano chipping in on special teams. We were

839
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: focusing on the offensive side of the ball, Jeff, Let's

840
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball,

841
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: and we got our first taste of this young secondary

842
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: with various movable components. To me, the position to watch

843
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: outside of the secondary is the linebacking group. You've got

844
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: a lot of young players. You have some who you

845
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: drafted last year. You've got the Darian Beavers and Michael

846
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: mcfa Addens who were brought in in this year's draft class,

847
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: and Wake Martindale. When he spoke to the media earlier

848
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: this week, he was asked specifically about the inside linebacker

849
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: position and said that group is wide open as far

850
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: as he's concerned. Blake Martinez, remember, also coming back from

851
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: the torn a c l So you really have the veterans,

852
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: the young guys, but not necessarily the proven player that

853
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: has absolutely cemented their role within this group. Yeah. I mean,

854
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: you look at Blake Martinez. He's coming back from an injury,

855
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: so they're gonna kind of just kind of move him

856
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: along as you know, he's practicing and this and that,

857
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: and of course, you know, I don't know how many

858
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: preseason games he needs to play. And the guy makes

859
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: a billion tackles a year. You want to keep him healthy.

860
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: So who's gonna play next to Blake Martinez? And you

861
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: know the starter is take Crowder. He's your guy. That's

862
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: the experienced guy who's been in there before. Um, and

863
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: then you've got Mike and McFadden and Cam Brown. But

864
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: the real guy that is intriguing to me, I told

865
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: you before the game started, the guy that I really

866
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: wanted to watch play and he played well today is

867
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: that dare In Beavers. So he is a guy to

868
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: me that is very versatile. At Cincinnati, he played a

869
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: lot of different positions. He plays played his put his

870
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: hand in the dirt. He's played middle linebacker, he played

871
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: outside linebacker. A lot of areas that you can use

872
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: if you're Wink Martindale to get Darren Beavers in your system. Now,

873
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: he went out there today as a true rookie. I

874
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: thought he played well again against that uh excuse me,

875
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: a Patriots team that didn't have a lot of starters

876
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: in the game. So um, it's going to be And

877
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: by the way, Ellison Smith is another guy that we

878
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: just have not really mentioned a lot about. Remember he

879
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: was hurt last year. He's another guy in the mix.

880
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: Quincy Rochet, Okay, Ziminez. These all these guys are going

881
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: to have a chance to show what they can do.

882
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: But you can't keep all those guys, you know, you

883
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: really can't. And that's you know, I mean when we

884
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: get down to breaking down numbers, I mean, it's it's

885
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting how many of the linebackers they're gonna

886
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be able to kid because remember this,

887
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: if you're a linebacker in Wink Martindale system, you've got

888
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: to be able to run, and you've got to be

889
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: able to play in in inside and outside because you're

890
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna be asked to do that in the system. You're

891
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: not gonna cement yourself in the middle all time, all

892
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: the time, so that that's important. And special teams factors

893
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: in big, big time with linebackers, because those are your

894
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: blockers on the punt team, those are your rushers on

895
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: the punt return team, those are your guys that are

896
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: running down the field on kickoff, and those are the

897
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: guys that are helping you on kickoff return, you know,

898
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 1: because those are some big guys, but they're fast and

899
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: they can help you on special teams. So yeah, that's

900
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,720
Speaker 1: a big one. And here's the other thing. Does Wink

901
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: consider some of the safeties having the ability correct to

902
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: play a little bit closer to the line of scrimmage

903
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: and then does he say, Okay, we don't have to

904
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: keep an additional linebacker because I can move some of

905
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: these players around. I think it depends on, once again

906
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: what his vision is. But for example, Darren Evans who

907
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: was very active today. Another former LSU player Andrew Adams,

908
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: who had a first stint with the Giants. He's back

909
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: on the roster. There's some versatility there. Use of Calker,

910
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: who's an undrafted rookie out of Kentucky. You know, all

911
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: the players we've seen active and camp practices and so forth,

912
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: do they envision them in other rules. Dane Belton is

913
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: another guy referencing unfortunately about the clavic. He's a guy

914
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: that can play in the box, the box safety if

915
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: you want to call him that. A guy that can

916
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: play you know, inside and outside. So that's why they

917
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: drafted him, okay, because they saw a need there where

918
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: a guy can Hey, this guy can help us U.

919
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: A fourth rounder that's a fourth rounder in the National

920
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: football he's expected to sometime in his career start and

921
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: so you know, may not be the first year, but

922
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be able to do some things for you

923
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: in substitution packages and things like that. But more importantly,

924
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: a big special teams player. If you're a fourth rounder

925
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: and and you're just in you're a rookie. That's where

926
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna where you're gonna land and you're gonna play

927
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: and built in. By the way, you were talking about

928
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: Darren Beavers who went to Yukon before he came to Cincinnati.

929
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: Belton was also that hybrid type of player. That was

930
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: the role he ad at Iowa. They actually called him

931
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: the hybrid role that he assumed. And if you go

932
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: and it looked, you know, and we always compare Buffalo

933
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: and we compare the Ravens because of the you know,

934
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: the coaches, and but you have to because those are

935
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: the guys that you know what, you run, what you're

936
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,760
Speaker 1: brung right, and you've been very successful in the system.

937
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna bring that with you. And you look at

938
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: the safety position in Wink Martindale system, it's it's the

939
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,479
Speaker 1: quarterback of the really of the of the defense because

940
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: he wears the green dot. They did that in the

941
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: at the Ravens, the box safety, the guy plays inside,

942
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 1: he plays deep safety, he does it all. So it's

943
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: very important to Wink Martindale to find the guy that

944
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: you can do that, and that's why they drafted Milton

945
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,160

952
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: spoke with the media after the game, and including the

953
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: starting quarterback Daniel Jones. Let's take a listen to what

954
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones had to say and now are joining in

955
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: the locker room by Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. Daniel first

956
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: time out in this offense in a game situation, How

957
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: do you think it went? I thought it went all right.

958
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: I thought we uh we moved the ball well that

959
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: first drive, and I thought it was cleaning out of

960
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: the huddle, clean operation. Obviously things we can clean up,

961
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: but overall, I thought it was a good start for

962
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: us and something to build off of. Well, as you

963
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: try to build off and now, what's the next step

964
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: for this group? What do you try to work on

965
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks with two preseason games to go,

966
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: I think it's just continue. What We've been working on

967
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: sharpening up the details. Um you know, obviously in a

968
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: preseason game, you're gonna be pretty basic with your uh

969
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: with your game plan and what you're calling. So we'll

970
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: continue to evolve and progress through the offense as we

971
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, install war stuff and and detail it out.

972
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: But like I said, it was a good start. How

973
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: are you growing chemistry with Colin Johnson? He's kind of

974
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: play with all the quarterbacks. He's been doing more the ones.

975
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: He had a big day today. How is he developing

976
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: as a wider season and developing chemistry with you? Yeah,

977
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, he like you said, he's been uh you know,

978
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: moving around a lot and and uh you know, he's

979
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: a he's a good player. It brings a lot to

980
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: table with his size and route running abilities. So um yeah,

981
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: he played well tonight. He's played big for us all camp,

982
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: So um yeah, we'll keep working with him. What was

983
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: like getting place from Mike cath He was calling placed

984
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: for the first time tonight. Yeah, I thought he did

985
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: a great job, put us in some good situations, Um,

986
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: move the ball well and and uh yeah, I thought

987
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: he did a great job. Thanks to Jack. So that

988
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: is Daniel Jones with our very owned John Schmilk s

989
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley also got out there. He was out with

990
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: the team on their first series, was able to get

991
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: four carries. So he was asked about how he's feeling

992
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: now that he got some preseason action under his belt. Yeah.

993
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: I felt pretty good. Yeah, I felt pretty good. I

994
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: think the Aline did a great job. Um, we're able

995
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,479
Speaker 1: to move the ball. Um, you know they were gonna

996
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: catch on third or five, Uh, to keep the sticks moving.

997
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: Great ball by DJ and great rot about DJ. Uh.

998
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: But and my body been feeling really good. Um, So

999
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: just like I said, taking it one to a time

1000
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: and uh, improve off of this. It seems like you're

1001
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: really getting downhill. Well is that it has been a

1002
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: focus for this offseason, trying to make sure you kind

1003
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: of you know, get downhill and get up feel pretty quick.

1004
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: To be honest, I really haven't really changed anything. Um,

1005
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: you know obviously, I just feel like when he's just

1006
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: more comfortable with your body, you can trudge yourself a

1007
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: little bit more and not even thinking and you just

1008
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: get downhill. Um. You know that's kind of high flight.

1009
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: I've been playing my whole career so far, so I'm

1010
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: excited to get good back to that, just trying to

1011
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: make plays with the offense and help us with games.

1012
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: You feel like he get into a rhythm with the

1013
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: blocking schemes and understanding where the offensive linemen gonna be

1014
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: in funding a rhythm in the scheme that way. Yeah,

1015
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: for sure, I think we've been been doing a great

1016
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: job um, not only in the game, but just throughout practice,

1017
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: UM not on seven UM and team periods. I think

1018
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: the old line been doing a great job. Bobby and

1019
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: all those guys been done a great job. And running

1020
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: backs been getting a great feeling. That's what happens. You know,

1021
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna that's what you gotta get to get it

1022
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 1: at and practice. You know, you don't get more repsent

1023
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: practice than you realistically you get in a preseason in

1024
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: the preseason game. So keep feeding off each other, keep

1025
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: building off each other so once he's come, we can

1026
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: take off. Nice to get that for sit out of

1027
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: the way in the preseason. Uh yeah, you know. Uh.

1028
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: I asked me, like when I was walking by, like

1029
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: someone asked me, was not nervous, and I was just like,

1030
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, like usually you are, but like last year

1031
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: I felt like I was at a point where I

1032
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: was just, you know, not really confident on myself with

1033
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: my body. Like now I'm just so free and so loose.

1034
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: So uh, but it's always going to get that first

1035
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 1: hit out of the way. Um. I think, like I said,

1036
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: a lot of goods, a lot of bad. Um, not

1037
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot bad, but a lot of good and bad.

1038
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: But you got lunch from it and it's gonna continuing

1039
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: to get better. So that was Giants running back s

1040
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley reflecting on his performance in the Giants win

1041
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: over the Patriots. Barkley, with four carries for thirteen yards,

1042
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: also had a catch for eight yards. And speaking of statistics,

1043
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: that brings us to the player of the game, brought

1044
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: to you by the members and contractors of Local eighty

1045
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: five Operating Engineers Elective Building our Future, and we're gonna

1046
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: go with Richie James. He may have not had the

1047
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: biggest statute, but he made the most impactful plays over

1048
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 1: the course of this game. Three catches forty four cards,

1049
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: including a touchdown which gave the Giants an early lead,

1050
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: and one of the catches was off a deflection, which

1051
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: we call being in the right place at the right time,

1052
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: and that certainly applies to the former San Francisco forty

1053
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: nine are looking to solidify a roster spot with the Giants.

1054
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: We will step aside when we come back. We'll run

Speaker 1: of the injuries. That's now formally take you through the

1072
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: injury report brought to you by Hacket Sacked Britian Health

1073
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 1: Keep getting better. Two injuries on the offensive line. Chane Lemieu,

1074
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: the team's starting left guard, going down with a toe

1075
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: injury after the first series. He was seen in a

1076
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: walking boot on the sideline for the remainder of the game.

1077
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: Joshua Zoodo, the rookie, came in to replace him. They

1078
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: were hoping to maybe get Lemieu some work at center

1079
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: that never came to fruition as a result of the

1080
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: toe injury. Brian Dable says he won't know more until

1081
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: he talks to the medical staff. In route back to

1082
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: East Rutherford, New Jersey, Jamal Douglas left the game with

1083
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, and then in the secondary rookie corner

1084
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: Cordell Flat a groin injury. So those are the three

1085
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: most notable ones coming out of this game. That's the

1086
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: pros and cons of preseason action. You play guys, they're

1087
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: gonna get hit for the first time in a long time,

1088
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 1: especially these college kids who were going through the draft process.

1089
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: They have not been in competitive games for quite some time,

1090
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: and unfortunately the injury bug will strike them. Cavon Thibodeaux

1091
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: made his professional debut against the New England Patriots. We

1092
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: saw him get some work early on in this contest.

1093
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: After the game, our very own John Schmell caught up

1094
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: with the giants newest edge rusher, Very Cavon Thibodeaux. Cavon,

1095
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: just what was it like the first preseason game? Man?

1096
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: It was great. You know, it's exciting out there. Um,

1097
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: we got a lot to work on it. You know,

1098
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: during the season. I know it's gonna be a lot

1099
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: more exciting, but this is a good start. Now, you're

1100
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: a guy that loves to go back in the shop

1101
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: after seeing this, your first game action against a live

1102
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: opotent in the NFL. I know you gotta watch the

1103
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: tape and everything, but what do you think in your

1104
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: plan is now for the next nine or ten days

1105
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: is to get ready for preseason game number two. Um,

1106
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: just to continue to sharpen our tools. We gotta get

1107
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: back to work. We got a lot to work on

1108
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: a lot to get right. So just making sure we're

1109
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: not we don't get too carried away and we continue

1110
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: to just focus on little things that's gonna keep helping

1111
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: us grow and you know, bring us together as a team.

1112
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: One thing I noticed the second half after you were

1113
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: done for the day, the third team had come off

1114
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 1: the field and you went out there, jehad Ward went

1115
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: out there a couple other guys, and you're talking to

1116
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: the guys and you're showing them techniques and what you

1117
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: think they should do to try to put better out there.

1118
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: You can just talk about how you're, even as a rookie,

1119
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: trying to help the other guys in the roster and

1120
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: just the camaradie of the team trying to help each other. Well,

1121
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: you know, I think the greatest thing about this game

1122
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: is you learned so much as you play it. So

1123
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: me just being able to help the guys on the sideline,

1124
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: me being on the sideline and be able to see

1125
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: different things, just giving guy's tips and giving guys tools

1126
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: that that are gonna help them succeed. And and that's

1127
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: just feed off each other. You know, it is a team,

1128
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: team sport at the end of the day. So just

1129
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: being able to you know, bounce ideas and bounces, bounce

1130
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: things off each other that are gonna continue to help

1131
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: us grow. Anything catch you by surprise. In the first game, Um,

1132
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: I know, I feel like it was. It was pretty good.

1133
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: Everything went pretty vanilla as you would hope for a

1134
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: preseason game. But you know, I'm I'm just excited and

1135
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: ready for the season. Thanks. So that was Cavon Thibodell

1136
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: reflecting on his professional debut, and he used the term vanilla.

1137
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: It was a relatively quiet performance for Cavan. Then again,

1138
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: he didn't log that many snaps. But I think, as

1139
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: you were hitting on earlier, Jeff, you're really gonna see

1140
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: the true potential of this pass rush when he and

1141
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,919
Speaker 1: a Zizo Gelari on the field at the same time

1142
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: and right and Leonard Williams. Leonard didn't play. Oh Gilry

1143
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: is on the non football injury list because of a

1144
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: hamstring issue, and Thibodeau is the only guy on an

1145
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: island here. And the reason I say that is when

1146
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: you go and prepare for the Giants defense, the more

1147
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: of those guys that are on the field, the more

1148
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: of those guys you need to account for. If it's

1149
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: only Thibodeaux, you can then draw your attention that way

1150
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 1: and it will be that much more challenging for him

1151
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: to finish and get after the quarterback. I mean, in theory,

1152
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta look at, right, I mean, he's

1153
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: he's your you're leading zack guy. Last year, the year

1154
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: before you got you know, Williams has had double digit sacks.

1155
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: So you put those all together, and of course you

1156
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: know the wild card in this is Thibodeaux. But he

1157
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, looked what he did in college. So he's

1158
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 1: and he's a number one draft pick for a reason,

1159
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: a top ten pick, as we know, and he's going

1160
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: to cause some problems. Listen that he didn't touch the

1161
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: quarterback today though he got a false start from the tackle,

1162
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: So that tells you that the guy is a little

1163
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 1: bit jittery about who's out there, and so that's gonna happen. Um,

1164
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: and he'll get it. He'll get I like his attitude.

1165
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: One thing I do like to hear from rookies is that, um,

1166
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: the game isn't too big for them, you know, And

1167
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: that was a question that you know, what did John

1168
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: to asked him. I like that. I also like the

1169
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: fact that he's a worker, uh, and he's going to

1170
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: go back to work and he listens and he helps

1171
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: other people. That that's good to me. I like that

1172
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: he's coming from a prominent school, so being in the

1173
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: spotlight handling this, I don't think necessarily is overwhelming for him.

1174
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: Now I have to apologize to our listeners in you

1175
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: because we truly have buried the lead on this program.

1176
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: We have not addressed special teams, and I know you

1177
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: have been itching. Well it's because you know what I mean.

1178
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: It just gets buried in. I understand, but I know

1179
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: this is something that you really wanted to analyze and

1180
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: get to. So the floor is yours in terms of

1181
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: the act of the good, the bad, and anything to

1182
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: us that I can start with Graham Gano and I

1183
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: can end with Graham Gano, the guy just you know,

1184
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: I told you he could have made that kick with

1185
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: his eyes clothes that you guys are truly amazing. Um.

1186
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: One of the things that happens in preseason when you

1187
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: go to evaluate the players in depth positions like we're

1188
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: talking about on special teams, you like to do it.

1189
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 1: This wasn't a good game as far as the evaluation

1190
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: because there was a lot of mistakes. You had a

1191
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: penalty on a kickoff return, which you don't want to

1192
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: have that, especially if you have a good return because

1193
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: it's the spot Feller goes back to where it was

1194
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: and then they've been alized. You ten yards from there,

1195
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: um and that was on the illegal wedge. And then

1196
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: you had also the coverage teams on punt and kickoff.

1197
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 1: And the problem is is that you've got so many

1198
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: different guys running down there. There's no continuity than we

1199
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: use that word back when we were talking about offensive

1200
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: line guys well special teams that that takes a back

1201
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: seat the continuity because it's not consistent there. You're trying

1202
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: to get as many guys as you can in there

1203
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: to evaluate and sometimes this happened so uh best you know,

1204
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: really a coaching point, you gotta go back to work.

1205
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: Coach mcgaye, he's gonna go and look at that tape

1206
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get sick, and he's gonna be like, wow,

1207
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: what are we doing. He'll fix it, he'll get better.

1208
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: But I like the linebackers depth position for the special teams,

1209
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 1: and I do like some of the guys like C. J.

1210
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: Board and Colin Johnson. Those guys are gonna be some

1211
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 1: of your special teams guys. Jamie Gillen six yard punk

1212
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: and he had a couple of boomers just unfortunately because

1213
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: of the coverage, they got decent returning. Well, he had

1214
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: a great kick, uh to the left to the right

1215
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: sideline about three yards from the from the sideline, and

1216
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: what happens there is is your your uh your your

1217
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: hold up. Guys, they didn't you know, they lost leverage

1218
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: and then uh they got a good return on it.

1219
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: So you can't. You gotta get down there. Those gunners

1220
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta get down and make plays. They're the only guys

1221
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: that can run when the ball snapped. So there, you know,

1222
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: if you if you get caught up in the line

1223
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmager, get pushed out of bounds, then you're the

1224
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: second wave of guys have got to get there, and

1225
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: they're and they're not there in time, and that's why

1226
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: you give up big plays. So the biggest thing about

1227
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: Special Team, and I'll end with this is lane integrity

1228
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: and and when you're running down on a covering kicks,

1229
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: you have to stay in your lane. You can't you

1230
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 1: can't go somewhere else because you're gonna give up the

1231
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: integrity of where you're supposed to be. And that return

1232
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: is going to see the void and they're gonna hit it,

1233
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: and that's what you have to be careful of. And

1234
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: it's it's difficult when you're running down there. I never

1235
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: did it, but I saw it, and I saw plenty

1236
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: of times on film that guys just get over. They

1237
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: just go over anxious to go make a play, and

1238
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: they go out of their lanes and they leave it open.

1239
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: And that's how there's a big return. And you have

1240
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys on the field, like you said,

1241
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: who haven't played. They haven't played, and exactly, and a

1242
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: lot of these young guys are they were the studs

1243
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: in their football like their senior year would have you.

1244
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: They didn't play a lot of special teams, so they

1245
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: have to learn how to play special teams again. Alright, Jeff,
