1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: Giants get out on the Giants Bubble. Give me some 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: jum part of the Giants Podcast. 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 3: Network's Welcome to the Giants Huddle podcast, brought to you 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 3: by Citizens, the official bank of the New York Giants. 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 3: It's a week seven rapid reaction. My name is Madeleine Burke. 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 3: Alongside the Super Bowl champion Sean O'Hara. The Giants are 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 3: back at MetLife Stadium for one pm matchup with the 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 3: division rival Philadelphia Eagles. Falling to the Eagles twenty eight 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 3: to three is the final score. Shawn, It's always a 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 3: high emotion game when you're playing a division game, but 12 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 3: especially this one because it's the first time that Saquon Barkley, 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: the man who leads the building uh in rushing yards 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 3: at MetLife Stadium, coming in for the first time as 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 3: a visitor. 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime we played the Eagles back when I was 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: a player, this was always a physical game, like you're 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: always a little more sore than normal. Divisional games are 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: always physical, but this one always has a little bit 20 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: of a heat rivalry. So you add into the mix 21 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: of the Saquon aspect and look all week long everybody 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: tried to tone it down, like, hey, listen, it's another game. 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: It was not clearly, and you could feel it, like 24 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: as soon as he touched the football the very first 25 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: play of the game, his first carry, like Giants fans 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: unloaded on him, and in turn, he unloaded on our defense. 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: And I think the Giants' worst nightmare came to fruition today. 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: Not just losing to the Philadelphia Eagles like that in 29 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: itself hurts and its things, but the fact that they 30 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: did it because of Saquon. Basically Saquon, you know, he 31 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: took over the game and he had one hundred and 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: seventy six yards rushing, averaged ten yards of carry, and 33 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: he had a rushing touchdown. 34 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: He probably could have. 35 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: Had three if they didn't do the toush push down 36 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: on the goal line. So it was definitely Saquan's moment 37 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: to kind of try to stick it to his former team. 38 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: But I think the lack of offense, despite how good 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: of a day Saquon had, really the most glaring thing 40 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: was the inefficiency of the offense. And that's everybody has 41 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: to wear that Like that's on everybody. It's not just 42 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: on Daniel Jones. It's not just on the offensive line, 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: it's on Dable, it's on the receiver, it's on everybody, 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: because you're as an offense, you're playing as a. 45 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: Unit right well, and you mentioned, you know, Saquon Barkley 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy six yards in a touchdown, but 47 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: he had three multiple big gains. He had a fifty 48 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: five yard run, a forty yard run, a couple forty 49 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: plus and the Giants offense really struggled in getting those 50 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: chunk plays and getting that kind of red zone offense going. 51 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 3: And it shows, i mean, three points on the board 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 3: for this Giants team. Of course, the narrative this week 53 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: we talked about. The big news out of the Giants 54 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: camp was that Andrew Thomas, the left tackle out for 55 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: the season, suffered a list fering injury in his foot. 56 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: He's going to be having surgery. The Giants put josh 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 3: A Zudu in at left tackle, and not just as Zudu, 58 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: but the entire line was kind of folding a little 59 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: bit in the fact that the Daniel Jones is under pressure. 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: The Eagles defense put up eight sacks on the day, 61 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 3: seven of them on DJ one on Drew Locke, who 62 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: came in the fourth quarter. 63 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Huge blow to this Giants offense. Losing Andrew Thomas. I mean, look, 64 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: he's been in the Pro Bowl last couple of years. 65 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: He's arguably one of their best players on the team, 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: certainly a captain. So it's not just his athletic ability, 67 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: it's his leadership that they missed not having him out there. 68 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: So coming into the game, that was going to be 69 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: a focal point of the offense. How do we replace that? 70 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: How do we protect Josh a zudu into the tackle? 71 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: And of course the game plan going in was, look, 72 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: we can't throw the ball forty five times and put 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: a zudu on an island and ask him, you know, 74 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: to do what Andrew Thomas had done previously. 75 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: So there were definitely some tweaks with that. 76 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: I thought Josh played pretty good, and you know, I'm 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to watch the film that really kind of 78 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: dive into, you know, some of the technique stuff. You know, 79 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: he got beat for a sack, but he wasn't the 80 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: only one. You know, John Michael Schmidz gave up a 81 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: sack Devin Singletary Whift on a cut block on a linebacker, 82 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: and that was a sack. I thought there was a 83 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: couple of times where Danie Jones had to hold on 84 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: to the ball, So maybe that's a coverage sack. 85 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: You know, maybe that's on the receivers. 86 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: But the offensive line, I thought, you know, when you 87 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: look at the fact that you lose your best player, 88 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: you know they still had some opportunities to score some points, 89 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: but they just could not stay on the field. The 90 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: fact that they can't convert on third down, that is 91 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: the recipe for failure offensively, because that's when you get 92 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: your rhythm, and that's how you kind of wear down 93 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: the other team's defense by keeping them out on the 94 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: field and in turn, think you were going three and 95 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: out punted on their first six possessions. It doesn't give 96 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: your defense a lot of confidence that you're going to 97 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: be able to score points and keep them in the game. 98 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 4: You're ready for a change. Pay Day comes early with citizens, 99 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: So go to that retreat. Knew you move to the country. 100 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 4: Now you're raising goats and launching a lifestyle brand. Are 101 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: you ready for all that life brings? 102 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: Right? Exactly? The Giants finished three or fourteen on third down. 103 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: Now the Eagles were just one of thirteen on third down, 104 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: but again they converted fourth downs, you know, including a 105 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: touchdown fourth and three at the forty one the Eagles 106 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: go along and they send it to AJ Brown for 107 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: forty one yard touchdown. And its plays like these. There 108 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: are a couple of moments throughout the game that you think, oh, 109 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: if that play came back, if that play came back, 110 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: Because overall, the Giants defense did play a pretty good game. 111 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: You know, you look at the score and you think, okay, 112 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: they gave up twenty eight points to the Eagles, but 113 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: you know they got a lot of pressure on Hurts 114 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: Dexter Lawrence two sacks on the day. I mean the 115 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: Giants defense leading the league in sacks decks nine sacks 116 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: on the season, already a career high and it's week 117 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: seven and again leaving the team in sacks is the 118 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: nose tackle. I mean, the defense had some really bright 119 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: spots out there. 120 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did that fourth and three to AJ Brown. 121 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean that was a killer. And you know, look 122 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: as a corner for McLeod, you know, he's probably sitting 123 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: on the sticks, you know, knowing it's fourth and three, 124 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: probably thinking it's a short route and a J. 125 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: Brown runs right by him. 126 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: So great play by them, but that was I mean, 127 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: that just crushed the stadium. 128 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: You could feel the energy. 129 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: You know, you think you're going to get a big 130 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: stop and they have the colonies to go for it 131 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: on fourth and three. Sarajanni's you know, gambling and it 132 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: converts and it pays off for them. So that was 133 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: definitely a huge play, huge momentum swing. But in the 134 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: first half, I mean, the pressure, as you mentioned on 135 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, it was every single drive, and it was 136 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: every third down we were getting home. They were getting pressure. 137 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence with the sacks. Brian Burns had a sack. 138 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: I think when you look at all the pressure that 139 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: they gave, you know, even just from the outside. I mean, 140 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: there were some big hits going on. So this defense 141 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: is playing spirited ball. Michael McFadden again continues his phenomenal season. 142 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: He's all over the field. I thought Tyler Newban had 143 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: some big hits. He's made some big time plays. They 144 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: just can't seem to do it, you know, long enough. 145 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: And it's not always their fault. They're getting put into 146 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: a lot of bad positions because the offense is so 147 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: inept right now. So that's tough, and I know it's 148 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,119 Speaker 1: tough for them to keep playing with that same energy 149 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: and that same vigor when you're out there. I mean 150 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: they were on the field for thirty five minutes in 151 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: this game, so it definitely wears on you. But defensively, 152 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: you know, I think they've got to be pretty proud 153 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: of the pressure that they're applying. That was one of 154 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the big things that Shane Bowen was going to bring 155 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: to this defense, and he talked about, we want to 156 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: be violent, we want to be disruptive upfront. We want 157 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: to get in their backfield and cause havoc. They're doing that. 158 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 4: You love turf, You're good at it, So you start 159 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 4: a turf fizz business grows, your savings grow, become the 160 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 4: most celebrated name in turf. Are you ready for all 161 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: that life brings? 162 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: Right? 163 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: You know? I mean, no matter how much they are 164 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: on the field, the leak neighbors. He talked about this 165 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: after the game. Hey, if you know, if they're right 166 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: back out on the field because the offense can't do 167 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: enough to give them a break or a breath, at 168 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: some point they're going to wear down. But the defense 169 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: has been kind of the defining factor in the heartbeat 170 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: of this Giant's team. Mylik Neighbors, of course, making his 171 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: return to the field he missed two games due to 172 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: a concussion. Back on the field. In the very first 173 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: offensive play, Daniel Jones hits them, gets a first down. 174 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 3: Neighbors finishes with four catches for forty one yards. No 175 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: catches in the second half, though, Again, that offense can 176 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: kind of sputter it in the second half, to the 177 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: point in which Brian Abeles said, hey, you know what 178 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: I put and Drew Locke in the fourth quarter. They're 179 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: trailing by twenty five, and he was just trying to 180 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: ignite some sort of spark in the offense. But also 181 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: part of that could have been a little bit of 182 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: a you know, precautionary move. 183 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was definitely twofold. You know, let's 184 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: get down on zones out of the game. The game's 185 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: out of hand, we're down twenty five points, things aren't 186 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: going well. 187 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: We have our backup left tackle in there. 188 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: Let's not put Daniel Jones out there and get him hurt, 189 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: because if that happens, now everybody's saying, why is he 190 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: still in the game. So there was that aspect of it, 191 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: and then yeah, you want to try to pray. Maybe 192 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: Drew Locke him come in and make something happen. Maybe 193 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: he runs for something, maybe he completes a pass. I 194 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: thought Daniel Jones in the second half got away from 195 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Neighbors because he was trying to make a big play. 196 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: He forced a couple of throws deep. They were incomplete. 197 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: One of them was intercepted. It was an off size 198 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: penalty that came back, So that's why he took the 199 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: deep shot. But you know, the Eagles defense was they 200 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: were adamant about you're not going to throw a ball 201 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: over our heads. You're not going to get a big 202 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: play through the air like that. So a lot of 203 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: the underneath stuff was available. I was surprised that Neighbors 204 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: didn't get more involved in the second half, get more opportunities. 205 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: I know he's frustrated, you know, I tell you, after 206 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: missing two games, he picked up right where he left off. 207 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: He looked great on that first drive. He is their sparkplulk, 208 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: he is their identity offensively, and that's the guy that's 209 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: going to have to drive this offense. He's gonna have 210 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: to be the guy to get everybody fired up. And 211 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: they just can't get him the ball enough. 212 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it's still a tough loss for the Giants. 213 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 3: Twenty eight to three is the final score. Is the 214 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 3: Giants fall to the Eagles in Week seven, and not 215 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 3: just a tough loss because it's at home against a 216 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 3: division rival. But now the Giants fall to zero and 217 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: three within the division. And they've got a bit of 218 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: a long week ahead of them though, because they are 219 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 3: preparing for the Steelers on Monday Night Football in week eight. 220 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: Now Pittsburgh of course is hosting the Jets on Sunday 221 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: Night Football tonight in week seven. They're going to be 222 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: making a quarterback change. It looks like going from Justin 223 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 3: Fields to Russell Wilson though. 224 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll be a big change offensively obviously, Justin Fields, 225 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, his athletic ability and his running ability is 226 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: a different set of skills than Russell Wilson. While Russell 227 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: is still dangerous, his is kind of more of a 228 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: reactive run as opposed to a designed run. But Russell 229 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: Wilson's you know, he's a veteran in the league, and 230 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, there isn't a lot that he hasn't seen, 231 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: So that will be a big challenge. I think Najee 232 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: Harris after seeing what Saquan just did in the production 233 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: he just had. Najia Harris is another back like Saquan. 234 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: He can run through arm tackles, He can provide a 235 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: big burst. So that will be first and foremost. Their 236 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: emphasis is we got to stop the run. George Pickens 237 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: is a large target. Pat Friyarmouth is a great tight end. 238 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have their handsful defensively trying to slow 239 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: down this offense, you know, and then again offensively, you 240 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: got TJ. 241 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: Watt. 242 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: You know, that's going to be a tough guy to 243 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: block and handle. The Steelers always have a good defense, 244 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: so that's going to be something that they're going to 245 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: really have to have a good game plan for. 246 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: Absolutely mentioned the run game. I mean, the Giants give 247 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: up two hundred and sixty nine yards rushing to the 248 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: Eagles in Week seven. We'll see if they can slow 249 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 3: down the Steelers in Week eight, but we'll continue to 250 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: monitor everything leading up to that game with all the 251 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: latest on Giants dot Com and all of our programs. 252 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 3: That's a wrap for a Week seven Rapid Reaction.
