Alongside Jeff Feagles, 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: I'm Lance Meadow is we're recapping the giants thirty five 13 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: seventeen loss to the Cowboys at a T and T 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Not the way the Giants anticipated 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: that they were going to kick off the two thousand 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: nineteen season, and Jeff the offense went out there scored 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: on their first drive. Eli Manning connected with Evan Ingram, 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: and you thought, Okay, maybe that would be something thin 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: they'd be able to build off of. But the defensive breakdown, 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: specifically in the first half, enabling Dak Prescott and company 21 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: to get one big play after another. And we're not 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: just talking about wide open plays. We're talking about huge 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: chunk plays, Jeff. That continued to collect all throughout the 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: course of this game. Yeah, the game plan for the 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys was just too just Dincon Dunc down the field, 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: a little little passes here, a little passes there, and 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: the Giants gave up the whole middle of the field. 28 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: I've broken coverage. You can't have that. And then when 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: you look and see the score of the game, it 30 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: just goes to show you exactly what Dak Prescott had 31 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: his day with that defense. A lot of mental mistakes, 32 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: a lot of penalties, um just sloppy play defensively, eight 33 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: penalties for seventy yards overall for the team. Penalties were 34 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: essentially spread across the board. But with respect to the 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: defensive breakdowns, you're talking about a twenty eight yard touchdown 36 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: past the Blake jar when a twenty one yard touchdown 37 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: past to Maury Cooper, a twenty five yard touchdown past 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: to Randall Cobb, and it was over the middle of 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: the field. To your point, Jeff, They went after a young, 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: experienced secondary. And you can't blame the Cowboys for doing that. No, 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean they they they exactly what you just said. 42 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: They wanted to go after a young secondary. They actually 43 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: went after some experienced guys too in the middle of 44 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: the field with those safeties Antoine bethet and and Da 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: Bill Pepper. They didn't play very well either. The other 46 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: thing is the Giants defense could not get off the field. 47 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: The Cowboys converted five of six third down conversions early 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: on in the game. They ran the clock. They had 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: nineteen minutes of time of possession in the first half. 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: That's one way to keep say Kwon Barkley off the 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: fields by having time of possession. The Cowboys have been 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: known for time of possession because of their running game. 53 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: It's been their strength and that's why they're a very 54 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: strong team on third down. To your point, Jeff, six 55 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: conversion rate for Dallas in this contest as they beat 56 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: the Giants thirty five seventeen. We'll step beside, we'll come back. 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: We'll have for Pat shermer get locker room reaction as well. 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. You're listening to Mercedes 59 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: Band's Giants extra Point on the w f A N 60 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Giants Radio network driven by the Hess Toy True Welcome 61 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: back to Giants extra Point. So glad you could join us. 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: Let's head to the podium. Pat Shurmer addressing the media, 63 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: And we didn't play well enough, um, so we gotta 64 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: learn from it. Um, there's things that we didn't do obviously. 65 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: Obviously on offense, we we didn't you know, I think 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: we were two for twelve on third down, so it's 67 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: very unacceptable, and um, we'll get that fixed. And then 68 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: on defense, I think there were some some big plays 69 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: against us in the passing game that we've got to 70 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: We've got to get that rectified. Um, especially against a 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: good team. So I got plenty of work to do. 72 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: We gotta get back to New Jersey and get to work. 73 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: So I had a lot of young players out there 74 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: playing for the first time. Um, you know, there's some good, 75 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: there's some some stuff we've gotta get cleaned up, and 76 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: they need to improve quickly. All right, So I'll take 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: your questions. I didn't seem like the first half the 78 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: strategy would just grow out. Whoever the cornerback was that 79 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: wasn't generic James. Whether it's bat or Hamilton. How did 80 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: you guys address that, because obviously they're both inexperience. Yeah, 81 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean you'd have to ask him if that was 82 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: the strategy. I mean that it seems like that's where 83 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: the ball was going. You know, we have, we have 84 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: ways to to help guys that are one on one, 85 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: but the guy's gotta play, gotta play too, So, UM, 86 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: you know that's something that you know, we'll look at. 87 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: We'll look at everything we did tactically and personnel wise 88 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: and try to make the changes necessary. My guy just 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: running Embery down the middle, that just comed right down. Yeah, 90 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: I think the one there was a couple there that 91 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta we gotta get closer in coverage. 92 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: I'll look at it. I got an idea what happened, 93 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: but I want to make sure I see it before 94 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: I I follow up with a full answer. How disconcerting 95 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: is it for that un pen side of the ball 96 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: moving forward at even they look like they can pretty 97 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: much do anything they want. Yeah, I think I'm not 98 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: dis I don't know what that word is. Um, I'm 99 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: I'm not disappointed. Um, what we need to get better, 100 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: not discouraged disking whatever you said and I'm not, you know, 101 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: we we just got to get better. Phil just didn 102 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: see be any pressure on that and all of that 103 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: surprising team. But yeah, I mean we gotta look at 104 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: that too. You know that has an effect on how 105 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: well the quarterback play. So well, we'll take a look 106 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: at that. Can you explain the inefficiency from the third 107 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: down situations? Mixture of things? You know, there was a 108 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: couple of short ones. Um, you know, I think we 109 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: we went forward and uh we got a crazy penalty 110 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: on a ball that was thrown at the feat of 111 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: Sa Kwan where they said, I don't know what that 112 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: was all about because I would have gone forward again there. 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: But um, it's a it's a mixture of things. And 114 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: then it's always the case the ball deep in Caboish 115 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: territory in the third quarter and you call handal to 116 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: Penny and then eli um any looking back on that nothing, No, 117 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: we should gain more yards on the one to Penny 118 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: and then we gotta do something with the ball we 119 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: roll out of the field. Earlier early on, you were 120 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: you were pregetting I wasn't set well because there was 121 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: obviously twelve men on the field. They too through. They 122 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: threw two flags to which we were aware we were 123 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: in formation. Um, and my understandings that was a penalty 124 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: that they said that there was a time out called. 125 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Now the timing of all that, I don't know, but um, 126 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: the guys called flags before, you know, they didn't know it, 127 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: so I don't, I don't, I don't know, but that 128 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: was obviously that's obviously if I don't know about the penalty, 129 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: I don't know about the time out, but the way 130 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: they were lined up in formation with us over the ball, 131 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: that's a that's a foul. I do know that. Well, 132 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: then the sudden next play was thrown too, say Kwan 133 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: in the flat and they said there was nobody there 134 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,679 Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. Is that the young angel 135 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: around him? Yeah, but there was a guy in the 136 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: in the vicinity behind a line of scrimmage right, could 137 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: have been a screen pass leading it to half time. 138 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm the the hell married best in reference. Looked like 139 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: you wanted to challenge I do I know the rule? 140 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: You can't. But I was just making a point to 141 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: the official that they should take a good look and 142 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: see if that was p I or not. So that 143 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: was what that that conversation was about. And I wanted 144 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: to make sure they came over and talk to me 145 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: about it. I want to make sure those are all 146 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: officiated the right way offensively. Is there not a lot 147 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: designed down the deal or played a lot of two deep, 148 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: They played a lot of soft zone, and there was 149 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: we took some shots that they they really kind of 150 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: took away from us, and that's why we checked it 151 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: down and got yards underneath. Obviously his first go around here, 152 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, obviously getting the film, But is that is 153 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: that at least growing pains. He just kind of have 154 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: to expect a young girl have to go through rookie 155 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: corner in the NFL out there playing for the first time. 156 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot to be learned Daniel Johns in the 157 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: game that situation, what I thought it was the right 158 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: thing to do to get him some get him some work, 159 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: and you know, we don't want to fumble the ball 160 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: like he did. You can see he's a competitive guy. 161 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: He'll learn to run run that out of bounds. But 162 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: he wanted in his mind he competes, and he said, 163 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to guarantee we got the first He just 164 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: got to secure the ball on that play. But for 165 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: the for for the rest of it. I felt like 166 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: it was important to get him some work. I think 167 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 1: one when we touched the ball once in the second quarter, 168 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: I think he had six touches combined with the Levin 169 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: Rushes that I don't think. I don't. I don't think 170 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: we had enough plays in the second quarter period, so 171 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: we need more place, Are you right? With the Levin 172 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: Russias total, I don't have the second half. That kind 173 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: of got away from me there, But I mean we 174 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: had the games. Games play out differently, right. I think 175 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: he had really good production when he touched the ball, 176 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: because we threw him the ball as well. I thought 177 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: he did some good, really good things. You know, he 178 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: had one where he kept us alive, he executed a 179 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: fourth down, did a lot of really of good things. 180 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't think when you look at it, there was 181 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: there was any ball that was inaccurate to a you know, 182 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: to agree, so I gotta watch it all. But I 183 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: thought there were other things that contributed to our loss 184 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: two or twelve one third down. How do you guys 185 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: get better there? And how how detrimental was that to 186 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: the offensive? Obviously, I think that's one of the things 187 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: that you have to be good at in order to 188 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: stay on the field and get more place and we 189 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: we got to just make sure there's a mixture of 190 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: reasons why we didn't and we just gotta get better 191 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: on the two, the second, the second and third and long. Uh, 192 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: you're down twenty something points there in the third quarter. 193 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: How do you balance that? What do you want from 194 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: your quarterback there with reguards to balancing taking the chance 195 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: to you know, make a play downfield, even if maybe 196 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: it's a little risky, or just taking that check down there. 197 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. We call place 198 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: to execute them and there's typically one's downfield and they 199 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: place off zeon. You're forced to check it down. You 200 00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: want to stay out of second and third and long 201 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: check that you're right there at that point. Well, at 202 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: that point, I'm all right with him getting completions. If 203 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: the downfield throws are not there, What do you do? 204 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: What do you do coach in terms of trying to 205 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: get defense to put more pressure on the quarterback? Look 206 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: at We're gonna look at it, and we just keep 207 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: working on really all the fundamental parts of the game, 208 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: which includes getting pressure good circumstances. Just like today, good 209 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: circumstances other than how he lives playing dictate. If you 210 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: go to Daniel Perman today, was an obvious situation in 211 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: my mind to put him in the game, Okay, and 212 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: then that's it. I'm not gonna play your hypothetical game, 213 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: all right.

The player. The game is 229 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: brought to you by the members and contractors of Local 230 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: eighty five Operating Engineers Elective Building. Our future player the 231 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: game is Evan Ingram eleven catches a hundred, sixteen yards 232 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: and the early touchdown for the Giants that put them 233 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: up seven. Nothing after that. Obviously, it went downhill because 234 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: of a number of defensive breakdowns. And Jeff, we just 235 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: heard from Pat Shermer and he mentioned that you with 236 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: the inexperience of some of the secondary players, was a 237 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: reason for some of the misques and the inability clearly 238 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: for the Giants to get after Dak Prescott. What do 239 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: we talk about in the pregame? What have we talked 240 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: about all offseason? Jeff, you know, and it's gonna you know, 241 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: I know that you're gonna get really tired of listening 242 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: to it all the time. There is some truth to it, 243 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: but the fact of the matter is this is the 244 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: National Football League. UM, it was gonna be a tough 245 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: game to win on the road. We know that, UM, 246 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: these guys have to play better. UM. I think defensively, 247 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of problems that we've we've that they've 248 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: exposed here, particularly in the middle of the field and 249 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: the tight end situation, which they haven't been able to 250 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: It really has been on the flip side of it. Offensively, Uh, 251 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: the the game kind of got away from with them 252 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. The the Cowboys were able 253 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: to keep se Kuon off the field and time of 254 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: possession um offensively, so that was kind of their plan. 255 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: The good thing about this is, and we talked about 256 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the health of Evan Ingram and how an integral part 257 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: he can play in this offense. You show today that 258 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: he can be that guy. Eleven receptions d sixteen yards. 259 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how many targets he had, probably fourteen, Okay, 260 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,599 Speaker 1: So that's a pretty good clip right there. If that continues, 261 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pay attention to Evan Ingram, which 262 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: is going to open up the passing game for some 263 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: of these other guys you call. Vladimir had a nice 264 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: catch down the sideline today, Benny Fowler was in the mix. 265 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: Not a lot of Sterling Shepherd today for some reason. 266 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: But that's that att'll change week to week. That My 267 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: theory here is that there's gonna be able to spread 268 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: the ball around and especially if Evan even catch the 269 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: football like you did today well, and Jeff, I think 270 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: there's evidence of them spreading the wealth today. The problem 271 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: is what was lacking the big plays down the field. 272 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: For example, Sterling had seven targets, six catches, but for 273 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: forty two yards as long as catches for eleven. They 274 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: weren't getting these guys deep down the field. And coach 275 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: Shermer had mentioned that they played that too deep coverage 276 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: and they were doing a lot of soft zone as 277 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: they say so the meaning that they're not going to 278 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: let anybody get down the middle of the field. They're 279 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: gonna give him everything underneath. But they had good covered 280 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: The Cowboys have good corners and there was a lot 281 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: of good coverage out there. That's why there was a 282 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: lot of checkdown city today. I mean, it was just 283 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: checkdown over checkdown after checkdown. And in the lack of 284 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: third down converting that that hurts this team. You gotta 285 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: convert some of those third downs and to keep the 286 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: drives going. And when you look at the third downs 287 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: over the course of the game, it was mixed in 288 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: terms of down and distance. Jeff that they had a 289 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: third and twelve, a third and eight, a third and nine, 290 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: a third and seventeen and a third and fourteen. So 291 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: the penalties did come back to bite then, whether it 292 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: was offensive holding, Cody Lattimer had an offensive pass interference, 293 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean they were going backwards more soiled than forwards. 294 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: And and again on the third downs a third and 295 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,119 Speaker 1: longs if the if the team is not giving you, 296 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: you know they're giving you those five six yard completions, 297 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to throw anything down the 298 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: field on third and fourteen and twelve, you're not going 299 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: to convert them. Hold that thought, Jeff, Let's go to 300 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: the locker room, Michael Thomas. So, kudos of the Cowboys 301 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: that came out here in the team they play will 302 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: so we we gotta get back to work and get better. 303 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: We're happening on some of those place where there was 304 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: guys running mind open stuff can't help you know, it 305 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: was a mixed bag of a lot of things. What 306 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying, we are correct, and it was a different 307 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: guy every time. So yeah, it seems like um a 308 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: lot of times in the first half Stuft there they 309 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: were targeting DeAndre or in the UM. What are you 310 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: as a veteran, what do you say to a guy 311 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: like him or like we we gotta challenge, we gotta 312 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, Le's secondaries on us the challenge guys, and 313 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: we we gotta stand up and make a play, and 314 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, and stuff not going right. As a team. 315 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: Can't wait on somebody else to make a play. You 316 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: gotta be the one to go out there and make 317 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: a play. And that's all of us. That's not just 318 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: on those two guys, not on anybody else. Everybody got 319 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: to be winning the challenge. So that's it. What can 320 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: you guys do to put some more pressure on the quarterback. 321 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: It's it's on the team. It's on the dbs to 322 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: play tighter and coverage linebackers just play tight end coverage 323 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: in d line or that's it as a team thing. 324 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: It's not just one players, not just one unit. So 325 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: we got to get this thing fix. In the Star. 326 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: We're getting back to work when we get back. Was 327 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: the one with Witten. That can't happen. Guys can't happen. Discipline, discipline, 328 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: that's on me.

As 339 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: we were recapping some of the breakdowns defensively, is what 340 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: we were talking about, Jeff before we went to the 341 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: locker room. And you just heard from safety Michael Thomas 342 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: and he was asked about the touchdown pass to Jason 343 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: Witten took full blame of saying that his eyes were 344 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: not disciplined on that play. Yeah, and listen and coach Shermer, 345 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: it's it's to these young guys, these young corners in 346 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League, a regular season game. Now they've 347 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: seen the transition from what it's like to play in 348 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: a preseason to a regular season game. Um, it's it's 349 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: very rude awakening. But you know, I know it's a cliche. 350 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: You gotta go back to working. That's all you can do. Okay, 351 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: the game is over, now go back in and look 352 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: at the film and and make corrections. But there's got 353 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: to be some accountability here. You just can't. You can't 354 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: say this the same thing every single week. Okay, we're 355 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: not gonna go for that. We've gotta see some improvement. Well, 356 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: because it reminds me, Jeff a few seasons ago where 357 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: there were constant breakdowns and what did you hear after 358 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: every game? Miscommunication, Guys not on the same page. So 359 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: it's one thing to pick up on that week one. 360 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: It's another thing when you're still having the same conversation 361 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: a few weeks later. One thing you have to look 362 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: at when you come into the regular season opposed to 363 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: playing in the preseason. There isn't a lot of game 364 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: planning that goes on in the preseason. When you have 365 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: young football players on the team, they have to learn 366 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: how to practice and how to execute the game plan 367 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: in a short period of time. These guys have not 368 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: had any had a lot of time to figure out 369 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: how to do this, and it is a learning process 370 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: for these young guys. Yeah, it tends to be very 371 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: vanilla in the preseason, and now all of a sudden, 372 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: you're focusing and honing in on a specific offensive scheme 373 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: that you need to shut down and listen. It's football, right, 374 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: So these guys been playing cornerback all their lives and 375 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: it's and so they'll they'll get they have to come 376 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: back and get us sooner or later. We are expecting 377 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: to have more locker room reaction momentarily from a number 378 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: of defenders across the board as the Giants watch Dak Prescott, well, 379 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott found him, Jeff. He was able to take 380 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: advantage of them. Throughout the course of this game. We 381 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: heard from Michael Thomas, were expecting to maybe hear from 382 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: a few of the young corners. But the communication, the 383 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: learning curve is on full display. As Pat Shermer mentioned, 384 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: And you know, it's somewhat baptism by fire Jeff in 385 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: game one, no question. And here's the thing about you 386 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: have to have short memories. Okay, those cornerbacks can't. They 387 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: can't go back and think about what just happened because 388 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: they have a play ahead of them. So they have 389 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: to That's something to learn, the learning process young guys 390 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: in this league. That's why there's no substitute for experience. 391 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it's just it happens. You gotta get better. 392 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: Let's head back to the locker room. John Schmock with 393 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: Antoine Pathe and um, but you know, we gotta go 394 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: away in tomorrow critiqued Um Proticut the film. Manum, you 395 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: know a lot of the stuff that we did wrong, 396 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: it's correctible. And you know week too, well, we got 397 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: another bonut and we got another chance. We got a 398 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: lot of youth out there, especially in the secondary. How 399 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: much of that do you just trunk up the experience? Um? 400 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Some of this in experience. But we can't have any excuses, 401 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: you know. We um we we we were we practice, UM, 402 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: we watched film and you know, um, you know we can't. 403 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: We can't hold that over head and have that excuse 404 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: as we're young. Yeah we're young, but you know what 405 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: I mean. We we we were getting paid the dual 406 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: job and we got to do our job. We gotta 407 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,959 Speaker 1: round open down the meadows. That just communication. Yeah, so 408 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: that's you know, um, obviously they made the play, um, 409 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: but online and it's miscommunication and you know that's that's 410 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: fourteen points, you know, So well we'll get back to 411 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: the drawing board, and we gotta make this correction and 412 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: play by the next week. That's John's safety, Antoine, but 413 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: they let's throw it over to our other microphone where 414 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram's addressing the media. Definitely looking forward to. Uh, 415 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: just continue to continue to work and and make big 416 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: plays and when when when those games and make they 417 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: plays and wins. We're pretty optimistic after the preseason training camp. 418 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: There's definitely a lesson that we're learning today. Um. This 419 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: team is different from the past, and we played a 420 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: good team today. Um they had our number. Um, but 421 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: it's it's only one game. We got fitting left and Uh, 422 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: the mentality in this locker room is is where it 423 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: needs to be. Um Man. It's just gonna make us hungrier. 424 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: You know. We get to go home next week, give 425 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: a full week of preparation to fix the mistakes, um, 426 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: and get back in front of our fans, um and 427 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: and and play good Buffalo team. How much do you 428 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: guys miss Golden? I mean going to a great talent. 429 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: Um definitely definitely miss him. Um. Um.

Definitely. 431 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: Unfortunately not having them, But I mean it's next man 432 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: up mentality and this guy's compete and we'll be happy 433 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: when he's back. That's Giants tight end. Evan Ingram. I'm 434 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: gonna slide over here. Eli man is gonna hit the podium. 435 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see if I can grab him. He's having 436 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: a quick discussion with Starring Shepherd. Not gonna interrupt that, 437 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: but as soon as he's uh done, want star I'm 438 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: gonna slide over and see if I can grab him 439 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: for a minute here on our Mercedes Benz Giants Extra 440 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: Point postgame show, and we got Eli Manning. Elis brought 441 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: to you by Toyota, the official vehicle of the New 442 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: York Giants. Eli teamed got to a fast start offensively, 443 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: and then that series of plays with the twelve in 444 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: on the field and all that is everything. He kind 445 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: of seemed to just fall apart after that. Yeah, just 446 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, um, yeah, I got off to a great start, 447 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: drove you know, drove right down there. I got a 448 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: touchdown defense you gotta stop on the first possession and 449 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: take to leave. So um after that, had another good 450 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: drive going, you know, got down there. Um, you don't 451 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: kind of have a h third and short. Um, you 452 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: know that we don't we don't get it. You know 453 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: they have Yeah, they got um twelve guys. They called 454 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: time out. We have a third down. You know, I 455 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: throw at the stake quanta sideline. They call intentional grounding UM, 456 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: and so you were probably go forward in that situation 457 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: instead get the penalty and and knocks this out. We're 458 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: at to punt it. So just you know that that, uh, 459 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: it was unfortunate. So just you know, I had a 460 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: couple uh kind of the way the game get we went. 461 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: We had a couple of you know, nice drives going, 462 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: just uh didn't get to come come away with touchdowns 463 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: or enough points a few times. Just has some third 464 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: and shorts we just didn't convert on. Were you surprise, 465 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: given you were contacted when you see the ball and 466 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: the ball is only about five yards short of Barkley, 467 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: that you got the flag on the attention on grounding? Yeah, 468 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: I was. I was surprised. I think you know that scenario. 469 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean, I'm there's a guy in the 470 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: area right there and I'm getting hit as I'm throwing it, 471 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: and uh, you know he's in the area. I don't 472 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: think that's intentional grounding. Talk a little bit about situational football, 473 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: because you guys moved the ball through three quarters, you 474 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: had three hundred twenty yards of offense. That's pretty good, right, 475 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: But third downs, red zone, is that something that you 476 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: can fix during the week going into next week. Uh, definitely, 477 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: And a lot of them, um, you know, unfortunately we're 478 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 1: like third and in shorts, you know, fourth and shorts 479 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: where we you know, we got a fun ways to uh, 480 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, convert on those in fourth downs. So wasn't 481 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't like we were it was third and you 482 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: know fives and sixes or third and lungs there on. 483 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: It was third and very manageable and and try to 484 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: do some play action and uh and just you know, 485 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: weren't able to convert on some of those, and unfortunately 486 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: that that hurt us and prevented us from score enough points. 487 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: It looked like a bunch of times you had to 488 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: go underneath. Were they throwing a lot of too deep 489 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: safety A lot of soft zones out there that that 490 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 1: especially on those certain lungs, that that makes you throw 491 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: them underneath a little bit. I mean third, Yeah, when 492 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: you're sitting there in third and you know fifteens, and 493 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: it's hard. It's you know, there's not a whole lot 494 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: of you know, they're playing very soft and playing out 495 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: the sticks. You don't have a whole lot of uh 496 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: other players that are that are perfect for that scenario. So, um, 497 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately got in that he got in those 498 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: positions and he just can't you know. It's just uh 499 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: that's gonna make it a long day. Uh, you know. Unfortunately, late, 500 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, late in the game, we got um this 501 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: got down and got behind the sticks, had some penalties 502 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: that hurt us. I only just heading into the rest 503 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: of the sea. There's a lot of optimism. Bad for 504 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: a week, but it's only one week. What's the message 505 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: for the team as you move forward? So this one 506 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: loss doesn't turn into more. Yeah, I mean I think 507 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: it's just uh, you know, just keep keep grinding. I 508 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: think you have to realize that we were close, did 509 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: a lot of good things, move the ball well, and 510 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: just had a couple of you know scenarios that um, 511 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: you know, they had good you know, had good calls 512 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: and we just you know, weren't able to convert on 513 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: some things and and uh, um you know, and we 514 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: just gotta do you know, just keep keep working and 515 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think there's a lot of 516 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: good things and and we'll build all the good things. 517 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: Thank you. We appreciate the time. Thanks. That's Giants quarterback 518 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: Eli Manning. Let me slide over here. I want to 519 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: see if I can getting the mixed here sequence about 520 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: to talk, but there's a lot of guys around them, 521 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna need to try to get in closier. 522 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: Let's see if I can manage. But I'm gonna explaining 523 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: front of here real quick. Thank you, sir. You're se 524 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: Quon Barkley. The loss, I mean, obviously besides the loo. 525 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: I know you said beside the loss. Huh um you 526 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: want to come in and started season off right. Um, 527 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: but I do think we did a lot of great things. Um, 528 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, we made a couple of mistakes and uh, 529 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: you know they capitalize on our mistakes. So we gotta 530 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: get better. Get back to the drawing boards and um, 531 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: you know, don't make this to happen and learn from 532 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: it and get better from it. Offensively, How do you 533 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: correct the third down situation? You have like three and 534 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: twelve or something like that down that final way. You 535 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: know we gotta noticed situation. We gotta noticed sticks, um, 536 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: and we gotta find a way to to to make 537 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: it happen. Um. You know we've got enough playmakers and 538 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: you know a heck of offense and um, you know 539 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: that can help our defense out too when you continue 540 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: get the ball movement and get the drives and on. 541 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: So we don't understand the situation where the sticks is 542 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: and find a way to get it. The third quarter, 543 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: fairly late in the third quarter, you're down deep in 544 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: their territory. Got a third and two and then a 545 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: fourth and one. Do you do you want the ball 546 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: in that situation? And we're a little surprised you didn't 547 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: get it. Um. Obviously you know as a player, UM, 548 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: not as a player, just as a competitor, you want 549 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: the ball in your hand. But uh, you know you 550 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: gotta trust the system. You gotta trust your teammates. UM. 551 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: And that's what you know, what I what I do? 552 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: You know, I I'm not gonna question the calls. Um. 553 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: You know I believe that the calls are writing. Well, 554 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: you just had the team as a whole. Uh, special 555 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: offense gotta find a way to capitalize and um, convert 556 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: those convert that third down and convert that floof down. Um, 557 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: and find a way again end zone. Um. It's a 558 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: little things like that. Uh you know that if we're 559 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: able to do and capitalize, that can be a completely 560 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: totally different game. And UM, those are things you learned 561 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: from and you go back and you're watching, Um you 562 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: improve on round the ball today? Do you think it 563 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: was effective? Um? Yeah, I mean I think I think 564 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: we ran the ball really well, not only myself. UM, 565 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: I think when Wayne got in there wayn did other 566 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: people's job. Um. You know, he got into the end 567 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: zone to uh you know. Um, but I think you 568 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: know they got up on us. Uh, pretty pretty big league. 569 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: So it's harder on the ball now. UM. And UM, 570 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: like I said, we gotta find a way. Just continue 571 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: to continue to be consistent in the balance group and 572 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: let the place come to us one deficient. How do 573 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: you make sure this wasn't snowballing or something? But I 574 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: just go back and watch film, you know, I know, 575 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: you know we lost obviously, UM, but we did a 576 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: lot of good. Um. You know, we were able to 577 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: drive the ball where move the ball against a very 578 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: talented team and a very talented defense. Um. So we've 579 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: gotta go back to the drawing boards. Uh, learned to 580 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: be honest with each other, um, and find a way 581 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: to fix the mistakes sideline, you know, as the lead 582 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: is growing for them and you kind of know the 583 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: way the game is being dictated that you know. I 584 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: mean you watched down a field and score really easily 585 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: with your being a good partner. And then once the 586 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: lead gets out of hand, you know, the balls just 587 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna be taken out of your hand watch them. No, 588 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: it's not hard to watch it all. You know. My 589 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: mindset goes directly to gotta respond, um, whether it's running 590 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: the ball, passing the ball, UM, whatever the way you 591 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: do it. UM. When you see offense go down to score, 592 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: the first thing that goes in my mind is respond, 593 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: How can we respond to offense? And that's what we 594 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 1: gotta do. And we did a good job was driving down, 595 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: driving down, but settled for three UM. And you know 596 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: the one time we we didn't convert on the third 597 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: and fourth down, UM, and you know, turn us on down. 598 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: So we gotta find a way to find find a 599 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: way to put the ball in the end zone. That's say, 600 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: Kwan barklay, We're gonna wrap it up here from the 601 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: locker room, guys. But they're going fast and we don't 602 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: want to be left Dallas, so let's strow back upstairs, 603 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: throw it back to New York.

They all went to four different targets, one 665 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: to Amari Cooper, one to Randall cob Blake, Jarwin and 666 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: Ason winning each of their tight ends, also getting into 667 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: the end zone. For Winden, it was his sixteenth touchdown 668 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: against the Giants in thirty one career regular season games. 669 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: This guy has been an absolute headache no matter what 670 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Giants defense he has gone up against during his tenure 671 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: as a Dallas Cowboy, and he essentially picked up exactly 672 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: where he left off before retirement. On the ground, Dallas 673 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: didn't really need to pound the football because they had 674 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: a field day through the air. They ran the ball 675 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: thirty times or eighty nine yards. Zeke thirteen carries fifty 676 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: three yards. He got a late touchdown to help seal it. 677 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, their fourth round pick out of Memphis, also 678 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: had thirteen rushes for twenty four yards, so Zeke wound 679 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: up with thirteen carries, and then they also targeted him twice. 680 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: In the passing game. He had one cat, so fourteen 681 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: touches for Ezekiel Elliott coming off that lengthy holdout in 682 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: which he got a new deal done this past Wednesday, 683 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: they didn't need him to be a workhorse because of 684 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: how well the passing game worked. Michael Gallup and a 685 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: Marii Cooper both passed the century mark in the receiving game. 686 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: Gallop seven for one eight, Cooper six for one oh 687 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: six and a touchdown Randall Cobb at at sixty nine yards. 688 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and company absolutely spread the wealth throughout the 689 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: course of this game, and probably the most telling statistic 690 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: he didn't seem to be touched at all throughout this game. 691 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was not sacked once and they barely had 692 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: opportunities at quarterback hits from the giant side of things. 693 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: So that is a big telling reason why the Cowboys 694 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: completely set the tone in this contest on offense. The 695 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: injury report is brought to you by Hackensack Meridian Health 696 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: Life Years Ahead. Kareem Martin left the game with a 697 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: knee injury so that is the most notable injury for 698 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: the Giants coming out of Week one. We'll get into 699 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: some other statistical trends that were very telling and why 700 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys cruise to a thirty five seventeen victory. But 701 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll take you around the Week 702 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: one NFL scoreboard, what the NFC East looks like after 703 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: one week of action, and we'll get to the highlights 704 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: of this game to explain how the Giants fell to 705 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys thirty seventeen.

Big Blue took over 767 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: at its own nine. On the very first play, Eli 768 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: dumped it off to say Kwon Barkley for eight yards. 769 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: He fumbled the ball, but Elijah Penny recovered it and 770 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: the Giants avoided a rough start. Barkley didn't fumble the 771 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: ball at all as a rookie. Well, on the very 772 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: next play he made up for that, and then some 773 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: running up the middle for fifty nine yards, and just 774 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: like that, New York was in Dallas territory. At the 775 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: twenty three, Manning completed two straight passes for fifteen yards. 776 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: Then Barkley added seven on the ground, setting up a 777 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: first thing goal at the one. Barkley lost two yards, 778 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: but Cowboys defensive lineman MALIEK Collins was called for unnecessary roughness, 779 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: so that once again put the ball on the one. 780 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: With a fresh set of downs for Big Blue, Giants 781 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: have it first in goal just outside the Cowboys one, 782 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: no score. I formation Penny the full back play fake 783 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: to Barkley. Manning rolls left, rolls left wide open touchdown Giants. 784 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: As he hooks up with Evan Ingram, they put Vanderish 785 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: on him and he couldn't stay with him and the 786 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: Giants first touchdown of two thousand and nineteen. Manning the 787 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 1: Ingram one yard and the Giants have the lead seven plays, 788 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 1: ninety one yards in just over four minutes.

Giants took a seven 796 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: nothing lead. Well, that was very short lived after the 797 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: ensuing kickoff went for a touchback. The Cowboys took over 798 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: at their own twenty five after Dak Prescott completed three 799 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: or four pass attempts during one stretch for thirty one 800 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: total yards. Dallas moved down to the New York thirty 801 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: eight following an offensive holding penalty against right guard Zack Martin. 802 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 1: The Cowboys eventually faced the first and seventeen at the 803 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: thirty five. Dak found tight end Blake Jarwin for seven, 804 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: and on the very next play look to follow a 805 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: similar script second and Tan Prescott's gonna lob one wide 806 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: open his jar Win for the touchdown. Nobody covered Jarwin. 807 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,919 Speaker 1: The more things change, the more they stayed the same. 808 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: Bob tied in up the scene when a team needs 809 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: to play, I'm not sure why they hadn't figured this 810 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: one out yet, but it is the play that bedevils 811 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: this defense. Indeed, Carl the Achilles Heel as I like 812 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: to call it, that Captain eleven play, seventy five yard 813 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: drive in just under five minutes. Bret Maher added the 814 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: extra point. Game was tied at seven after the Giants 815 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 1: drive stalled at the Cowboys forty five following an intentional 816 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: grounding penalty against Eli on a third and one. The 817 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,479 Speaker 1: Cowboys took over at their own seven, and once again 818 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: Dac went to work in a drive that carried over 819 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: to the second quarter. He completed his first three pass 820 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: attempts to a Marie Cooper and Michael Gallup for seventy 821 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,720 Speaker 1: one total yards, moving Dallas down to the New York eighteen. 822 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: A tripping penalty against Zack Martin backed them up to 823 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: the twenty four, and they eventually faced the third and 824 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: ten at the eighteen. Well, not a problem. Prescott hooked 825 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: up with Randall Cobb for fourteen, giving the Cowboys a 826 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: fresh set of downs at the four. First and goal 827 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: at the four. Prescott's gonna roll right, throws for Witton 828 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: and he's got a touchdown. Welcome back Jason Witton his 829 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: sixty nine career touchdown catch and the Cowboys hevly and 830 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: it was his sixteenth touchdown in thirty one regular season 831 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: games against the Giants. He picked up exactly where he 832 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: left off before retirement. Nine plays, ninety three yards and 833 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: just under five minutes. Maher attacked on the extra point. 834 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: Dallas moved in front fourteen seven. After New York was 835 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 1: forced to punt, the Cowboys took over at their own 836 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: seventeen with just under eight minutes to go in the 837 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: first half. Later in the drive, following an offensive holding 838 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: penalty against Zeke, the Cowboys faced the second and twenty 839 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: at their own forty three. Prescott connected with Cobb for seven, 840 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: but Tay Davis was called for defensive holding, so instead 841 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: of a third and thirteen, it became an automatic first 842 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: down at the forty eight. Later in the draw, I've 843 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: more mishaps for Big Blue. On third and nine from 844 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: the New York thirty eight, Dacks passed the Tavon Austin 845 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: fell incomplete, but Marcus Golden was caught off sides, so 846 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: that made it third and four at the thirty three, 847 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: and Dak took full advantage, running for eight yards to 848 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: continue to drive. Zeke then ran for four. Then after 849 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: an incomplete pass to Elliott, Dak looked to another target. 850 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 1: On third down. Cobb goes in motion from left to right. 851 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: Three receivers stacked right. Prescott in the shotgun set, takes 852 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: the snap. He's back to throw, He looks left, he 853 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: lobs at left corner of the end zone, and it's 854 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: caught for the touchdown. What a throw. What a catch 855 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: by a Marie Cooper right over DeAndre Baker. Dak's third 856 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: touchdown pass of the first half. He was twenty of 857 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: twenty six or two undred fifty six yards in the 858 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,320 Speaker 1: first two quarters alone, and that touchdown passed to Amari Cooper. 859 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: The Giants turning point of the game. Listen to Boomerang 860 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: GEO on our flagship station w f AN tomorrow morning 861 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: in the nine am hour for the Giants Turning Point contest. 862 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: The first correct caller to name the game's turning point 863 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: will win a pair of tickets to a future two thousand, 864 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: nineteen Giants home game. Thirteen plays eighty three yards milk, 865 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: nearly seven minutes off the clock. Mara added the extra point. 866 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys padded their lead one seven and that would be 867 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: the score at the half. We skip ahead to the third. 868 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: It was now ten Cowboys with ten fifty nine to 869 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: go in the quarter. At the Rosas came through the 870 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: twenty yard field goal, Dallas took over its own twenty 871 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: five and the Cowboys wasted no time. Once again taking 872 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 1: advantage of the Giants defensive misqs, Dak hit Cooper deep 873 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: down the middle of the field for forty five yards, 874 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: and in the blink of an eye, the Cowboys were 875 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: in New York territory at the thirty. After Zeke picked 876 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: up five yards on the ground, Prescott tested the Giants 877 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: secondary yet again. Prescott takes shotguns snap zips one over 878 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: the middle, wide open touchdown cop zip zip zip right 879 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: down the field. I meant you don't see guys that 880 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: open in the NFL. Well, you did all day long. 881 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,840 Speaker 1: On Sunday, Dak's fourth touchdown past of the game that 882 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: punctuated a three place seventy five yard drive in a 883 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: buck eleven. Maher added the extra point. It was twenty 884 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: eight ten Cowboys were just under ten minutes to go 885 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: in the third. After the ensuing kickoff went for a touchback, 886 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: Giants took over at their own twenty five. Eli completed 887 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: four of his five pass attempts to three different targets 888 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: and helped Big Blue get down to the Dallas eight, 889 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,399 Speaker 1: where it faced the third and two. Elijah Penny run 890 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: up the middle for a yard, making it fourth and one. 891 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 1: Pat Shermer kept his offense on the field looking for 892 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: a spark to change the game. After Dallas eight, Manning 893 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: rolls to his right looking a throw now stops, gets 894 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: hit by Vanderesh. It's knocked down by Lawrence, ruling on 895 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: the failed as a fumble recovered by the defense. Manning 896 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: rolled out to the right DeMarcus Lawrence and Laydon Vanderesh, 897 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: where there to greet him a sack in a fumble, 898 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: and the Giants missed an opportunity to gain some momentum 899 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: and put more points on the board, as the Cowboys 900 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,239 Speaker 1: would go on to win thirty five seventeen, beat the 901 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: Giants for the fifth straight meeting and now have won 902 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: five of the last six regular season openers in which 903 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: these two teams have collided. So the Cowboys start the 904 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: season off one and oh the Giants oh and one, 905 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: Will step aside, will come back, Jeff Feagles will rejoin me, 906 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: Will break down the offense and the defense for the Giants. 907 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: Also look ahead to the Bills game next Sunday in 908 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,239 Speaker 1: their home opener, and here from you at eight seven 909 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,600 Speaker 1: seven three three seven sixty six sixty six the Giants 910 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: fall to the Cowboys thirty five seventeen. Will be back 911 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,920 Speaker 1: right after this.

Welcome back to Mercedes 916 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: Benz Giants X for Points alongside Jeff Fegels. I'm Lance 917 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: Meadow as the Cowboys top the Giants thirty five seventeen 918 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: at a T and T Stadium to wrap up Week one, 919 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,280 Speaker 1: And clearly one of the biggest storylines from this game, Jeff, 920 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: is the defensive breakdowns, the big plays for the Dallas Cowboys. 921 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: But it really continues what we talked about all off 922 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: season in terms of the defensive personnel changing and when 923 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: you look at the secondary and the youth. We're not 924 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: yet done making our points about the defense. I mean, 925 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: you would think we'd have a few seconds to break 926 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:22,680 Speaker 1: it down. Somebody ask a lot of us, but that 927 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: was three seconds for analysis. That's it. Nothing else to 928 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: talk about defensive breakdowns. Everybody go home. Next week Bill's 929 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 1: Giants kick off one pm. Don't we wish? Wow? Okay, 930 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: So to follow up with that, Yes, the defense, we 931 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: talked about it the whole off season is in the 932 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: first and foremost is where where the where the rush 933 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 1: was going to come from? Dak Prescott. He had all 934 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,719 Speaker 1: the day, all the time in the world today to 935 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: sit back there. So it was the middle of the field, 936 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 1: spread the ball around, take time off the clock. Like 937 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: I said earlier, nineteen minutes of possession in the first half. 938 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: One way to keep Sikuan bar Early off the field 939 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 1: and that offense for the Giants is to have time possession. 940 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: That's what they did. Take it into the second half. 941 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: Third quarter, Giants come out all of a sudden, the 942 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: defense falls apart again, They get into penalties, and the 943 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: Giants cannot move the football offensively down the field at all. 944 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: They took away every one of their deep passes, gave 945 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,360 Speaker 1: him everything underneath. It was just a checkdown city for 946 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,800 Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Your offense can at times 947 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,800 Speaker 1: be your best defense, and I think that's very fitting 948 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. And I'm glad you brought up time 949 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 1: of possession, Jeff, because often when it comes to breaking 950 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: down games, the debate is, well, you gotta win time 951 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: of possession. Well, I'll take it a step further, Jeff. 952 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: You gotta win time of possession, and then you've got 953 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: to make it count in the end zone. And that's 954 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: what Dallas did. Dallas had the ball for over thirty 955 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 1: two minutes, scored five touchdowns. The Giants actually ended up 956 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: with forty two and time to possession, so it's not 957 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: as big of a disparity as came back at one 958 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: point it was nineteen and twelve. You disparity, especially after 959 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: that first quarter. But the Giants didn't execute and turn 960 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: those possessions into points. So time of possession is meaningless. 961 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: It's irrelevant if you don't do anything with it. And 962 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: and Dallas did everything they could with it. They went 963 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: down and you know a lot of guys had different touchdowns, 964 00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: and um, yeah, if you don't come out with points 965 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: on drives, um, you know, it's it's it's a it's 966 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: a new point for time of possession. You heard a 967 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: lot of the interviews it's if you did. After the game, 968 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys, the veterans saying, you know, 969 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: it was mistakes and they're not gonna blame it on youth. 970 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: It looks like the coach blamed a lot of it 971 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: on youth. Those guys are young out there, and listen, 972 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,439 Speaker 1: we talked about it earlier that it's a tough game 973 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: and you have to learn how to prepare and you 974 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 1: have to learn how to you know, that's what veterans 975 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: are good at. So you have these young guys have 976 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: to learn from these veterans on how to prepare for 977 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: a game and carry it over from the practice field 978 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,000 Speaker 1: onto the field in a real regular season game. Well, 979 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: you alluded to this earlier, Jeff. You have to wonder 980 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: whether or not teams need to revisit the value of 981 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 1: a preseason game in terms of playing their starters. And 982 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: the reason I bring that up that DeAndre Baker missed 983 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,160 Speaker 1: a lot of time in the preseason. Okay, Sam Beale 984 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: is on i R right now. Corey Ballantine obviously missed 985 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,320 Speaker 1: some time because of the fortunate in stdent off the field, 986 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: as much as these guys were with each other throughout 987 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: O t s and getting a field for one another. 988 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: Didn't have a whole lot of reps during the preseason. 989 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying that that's a reasonable excuse why 990 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: there were breakdowns, but you look at what happened with 991 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: that Bears Packers game on Thursday night. Really ugly football 992 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 1: offenses out of whack. I mean, it's a trend to 993 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: cross the league right now, it really is. But you know, 994 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: you scratch your head at some of these games, like 995 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 1: the Bears in the Packer game the night, But then 996 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: you look at the way Dallas played today. I mean, 997 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: so I guess it's just a matter of Now that's 998 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 1: an experienced defense. Now that's an experienced offense. When you 999 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: look at the Giants, you've got a lot of new 1000 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: players on this team to still have to learn to 1001 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: play together, learn how to prepare together, learn how to 1002 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,719 Speaker 1: go out and win together. They'll come sooner or later. 1003 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: But um, listen, and you and I were talking about 1004 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: this off the air Giants got. I mean, the Bill's 1005 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 1: defense is just as good, or not better than the 1006 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys defense. So this offense is going to have 1007 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 1: to learn how to you're gonna have to keep that 1008 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: defense off the field. So I mean, really, when you 1009 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: think about the game plan going into next week is offensively, 1010 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to start. You gonna run football against 1011 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: a good defense, and the Bills. Bill has had a 1012 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,680 Speaker 1: top ten ranked defense last season. They only gave up 1013 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: six points of the Jets today. They just had issues 1014 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 1: holding onto the football from an offensive standpoint. He had 1015 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: four turnovers by Josh Allen, two picks, and he lost 1016 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,359 Speaker 1: two fumbles. Yeah, but you look at their defense kept 1017 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: him in the game because, um, so you know, you 1018 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 1: look back on this game and you know you can't 1019 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: put it on Eli Manning. You can't put it on 1020 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. Um you really, I thought the offensive 1021 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 1: line played well enough to you know, to win the game. Um. 1022 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,759 Speaker 1: But defensively, the blame goes there. Defense certainly taking a 1023 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,320 Speaker 1: brunt of it because of all of those big touchdown 1024 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 1: passes that they gave up to Dak Prescott. And we'll 1025 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 1: get more into the offense as we move along, the 1026 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,480 Speaker 1: struggles in the red zone and why they just couldn't 1027 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: capitalize some costly penalties as well. The network more people 1028 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: rely on gives you more, get amazing rewards like NFL 1029 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 1: tickets and once in a lifetime experiences with Verise it 1030 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: up only on Verizon.

Jeff, we talked a 1057 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: lot about the defense. I want to shift to the offense. 1058 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: And I think there's a certain section of this game 1059 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: that a lot of people are going to say was 1060 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: perhaps a period when it may have sucked the living 1061 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,640 Speaker 1: life out of the Giants on offense. And it was 1062 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: when the penalties started to come back to bite them, 1063 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 1: specifically when they had twelve men on the field the Cowboys, 1064 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: and it looked like the Giants are gonna be able 1065 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: to capitalize, and then the officials told Pat Shermer while 1066 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett was able to call a time out before then, Okay, 1067 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: so that wiped away the penalty, and then that was 1068 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: a third and one. I want to give him a 1069 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: first down, golden opportunity. Yeah, no, I just keep going. 1070 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: I'm just turning well and now speaking, a third and one. Okay, 1071 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: Eli has the ball, he rolls out to the right, 1072 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 1: he gets pressured, he gets hit, and the ball does 1073 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 1: not return to the line of scrimmage. So he's penalized 1074 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,400 Speaker 1: for intentional grounding. Now I want to read the rule, Jeff, 1075 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 1: because you know, normally I would argue the officials do 1076 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,680 Speaker 1: not have the easiest job in the world that proNT 1077 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: into the microscope, and I think sometimes when we're all 1078 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,239 Speaker 1: sitting back on our couches, we think we have a 1079 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: much better in real time. But if you go back 1080 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 1: to the ridden rule, Okay, this is not visual Evans, 1081 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,080 Speaker 1: this is just the rule. The passer initiates his passing 1082 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: motion towards an eligible receiver and then is significantly affected 1083 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 1: by physical contact from a defensive player that causes the 1084 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 1: past to land in an area that is not in 1085 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 1: the direction and vicinity of an eligible receiver. So therefore 1086 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 1: it doesn't get back to the line of scrimmage. If 1087 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,120 Speaker 1: you're hit as a result, it is not intentional ground 1088 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: He was hit, Eli Manning was hit, so textbook definition 1089 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: that should have not been an intentional grounding penalty. And 1090 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 1: that's what Pat Smer was saying exactly. He knew the rule. 1091 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: Um evidently the referees did not. But yeah, you know, 1092 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: but that that was just that was just a sequence 1093 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 1: there that things started to go wrong. I'll tell you 1094 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: a couple of things that they didn't go wrong that 1095 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 1: I didn't understand. Offensively, when you have a se Kwon 1096 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 1: Barkley in the game, or when he's not in the 1097 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 1: game and you have third and one and fourth and one, 1098 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: how you don't get the ball to say Kwon Barkley 1099 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: on any of those two plays. I know you have 1100 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: to give him to him on both of them. I mean, 1101 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see it, but you know, 1102 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 1: you run Elijah Penny up the up to gun, he 1103 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,759 Speaker 1: doesn't get anything on fourth and one, you're gonna roll 1104 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 1: out stuff they did. So I think you've got to 1105 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 1: be a little bit more creative when it comes to 1106 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: play calling there and personnel. Get your best player on 1107 00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:41,360 Speaker 1: offense in the game, especially when you're down like that. Offensively, 1108 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: to you know, the offensive line. I told you earlier. 1109 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: I thought that they played decently. Eli had some some 1110 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,840 Speaker 1: good time in the pocket. But defensively for the Cowboys, 1111 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,399 Speaker 1: they shut down the receiving game the Giants. They would 1112 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: not give them anything. And if you look at all 1113 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: the in front of them, absolutely um and and and 1114 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,560 Speaker 1: we talked. We talked about Evan Ingram earlier, what a 1115 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: game he had and what a season he can have 1116 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy. And we talked about that 1117 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: on our pregame show. Can he have a thousand yards 1118 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 1: receiving this year? Well, he's on his way and over 1119 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,280 Speaker 1: hundred yards today. So I think that once teams realize 1120 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: that he's going to be a target and a guy 1121 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,440 Speaker 1: that Eli Manning is gonna go to, it'll free up 1122 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: some of these other guys around on the field and 1123 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: get some big plays out of them. That's the plan. Now, 1124 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,760 Speaker 1: those guys also need to show separation, that's the first step, 1125 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 1: and also avoid some penalties because for example, Cody Latimer 1126 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: had a great forty three yard catch right up the 1127 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 1: right sideline with a defender right on him, and then 1128 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 1: in the game great throw by Eli and then the 1129 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,879 Speaker 1: offensive passed interference call which then back them up. So 1130 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 1: it was like every time you thought maybe there was 1131 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 1: a sign of the Giants bursting out of the bubble, 1132 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 1: then they shot themselves in the foot once again. And 1133 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 1: when you go on the road in the National Football League, 1134 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things you can do. Number One, 1135 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: you can't have a bunch of penalties. Okay, they create 1136 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: negative plays. You can't turn the ball over. I did 1137 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: it twice now again the one at the end of 1138 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: the game. It didn't didn't really matter when they were down, 1139 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: so it definitely will. It's also a learning experience for 1140 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones again. I mean he he is a young 1141 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 1: guy that you look at the preseason, he turned the 1142 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 1: ball over two or three times. So you need to 1143 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: learn from that. And I'm sure that coach Shermer was 1144 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: telling him on the sideline. Listen, I want you to 1145 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,920 Speaker 1: get the first down, but you gotta protect the football. 1146 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: You've got to protect the football on the road. Those 1147 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,839 Speaker 1: are some things you cannot do. Have penalties and and 1148 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,680 Speaker 1: turn the ball over, especially if your defense isn't getting 1149 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 1: any takeaways. You're not gonna win a game because you 1150 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: need help in the field positioning as you can. And 1151 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: now you're hurting yourself in that department. Now, I know 1152 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: we kind of seguate away from the offense because you 1153 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 1: know what I don't. I told you this and and Lance, 1154 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: you and I do enough work together. I've told you this, 1155 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: and you have agreed with me that where is this 1156 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: defense and how is it going to play this year? 1157 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,280 Speaker 1: Will totally dictate what's going to happen with this team 1158 00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: going forward. If this is any indication what's gonna happen 1159 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,280 Speaker 1: to the rest of the season, and then the Giants 1160 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 1: are in trouble and that you're gonna see Daniel Jones 1161 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 1: sooner or later if this keeps happening, Because the Giants 1162 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,399 Speaker 1: are if they're gonna play like this, they're gonna take 1163 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,200 Speaker 1: there's no reason. Then they're gonna jump off to anh 1164 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:14,919 Speaker 1: and five oh and six start. You know what's gonna 1165 00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,160 Speaker 1: happen here. So the Giants is gonna have defense, is 1166 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to step up and play better football, especially 1167 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 1: against an AFC opponent next week. That's a pretty good 1168 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,799 Speaker 1: football team. Now you look at the fact that the 1169 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: offense only put up seventeen points, and that group deserves 1170 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 1: criticism overall because you're not gonna win many games with 1171 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: seventeen points. No matter what shape your defense is in, 1172 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: they scored less than nineteen. They scored nineteen points the 1173 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,319 Speaker 1: first eight games of the season last year, and they 1174 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: didn't win one day. And then what happened to the 1175 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: final quarter of the season, the scoring went up. They 1176 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,640 Speaker 1: scored seven points. Yeah, there you go, But I'm with 1177 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 1: you in terms of the defense was the looming question mark, 1178 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: and it basically affirmed what we thought. Your Prescott came 1179 00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: out of that game today with not one spec on 1180 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:03,399 Speaker 1: his jersey. Today. He didn't get hit clean clean. That's 1181 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,400 Speaker 1: that's that's not good. If you don't get to the quarterback, 1182 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 1: you better have a shutdown secondary. And if you don't 1183 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,439 Speaker 1: have a shutdown secondary, good luck. I did not hear 1184 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: any of the names on the dexter Lawrence, didn't hear 1185 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 1: his name, b J. Hill, only that because he got hurt. 1186 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden Marty offsides, okay, um r J mcintosha heard 1187 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: his name because they just said he just came in 1188 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 1: the game. Dalvin Tomlinson, Lorenzo Carter about him. He had 1189 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,280 Speaker 1: a good pass breakup on a on a went office helmet. 1190 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,799 Speaker 1: Yeah that was about it, you know. And and We 1191 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: commented earlier about the the only the only names that 1192 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,240 Speaker 1: we're hearing and tackles is the secondary and Listen Conley 1193 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 1: played well, Okay, he's a guy that's gonna you know, 1194 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:47,959 Speaker 1: he gets in there in situations that he's in the game. 1195 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: Tay Davis is another guy that's in there on obvious 1196 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: passing down.

So Phil 1250 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: Sims and Bob Popo, we welcome you back to Mercedes 1251 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,600 Speaker 1: Benz Giants extra point alongside Jeff Fiegel's I'm Lance Meado 1252 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: recapping the giants thirty seventeen loss to the Cowboys in Arlington. 1253 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,560 Speaker 1: Let's open up the phone lines at eight seven seven 1254 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 1: three three seven sixty six sixty six, and we start 1255 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: off the festivities with Stewart in Brooklyn, New York. Stewart, 1256 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: what's happening, Hey Lanson? Jeff to two points then, and 1257 00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to make on a fluff and one. I 1258 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: mean you roll Eli instead of giving the ball to 1259 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,320 Speaker 1: Barkley the second time. We do that on a third 1260 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: and fourth short, not Berkley once. We rolled out ELOI 1261 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: multiple times. My my, My other point is on DeAndre Baker. 1262 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 1: He was bid all day. He got toasted by Gallup. 1263 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 1: I know, I know. Baker was terrific in college But 1264 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 1: to me, he's simply not ready. I mean, who roles 1265 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 1: if he ever will be. I mean, Gettleman says he 1266 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: was the best corner in the drift. I guess that 1267 01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 1: some guys can adjust to speed fairly quickly. Well, I 1268 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 1: think that if you see in the depth chart, Antonio 1269 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: Hamilton's and DeAndre Baker are listed as the two starters, 1270 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: so they obviously know that these guys are not ready 1271 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 1: to be the sole guy out there. But there's nothing 1272 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: else you're gonna be able to do about this. There 1273 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: were who else is there is going to be on 1274 01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 1: the team to be able to go in there and play. 1275 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 1: So these guys are baptismal by fires Land said earlier. 1276 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to just go out there and play. 1277 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 1: And I would also judge a guy based on one game, Steward, 1278 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: I think we still need to see a little bit 1279 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: more out of DeAndre Baker. But if you want to 1280 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,080 Speaker 1: bench Baker, first of all, you got a question what 1281 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,720 Speaker 1: that's gonna do for his offidence moving forward, considering you're 1282 01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 1: expecting him to be a key component of the secondary 1283 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,760 Speaker 1: at number two. To your point, Jeff, all right, who's 1284 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 1: behind him on the depth chart? Julian Love is a rookie. 1285 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: Corey Ballentine is a rookie. So even if you move 1286 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: out of the direction of Baker, you're gonna replace him 1287 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: with another young, inexperienced player. Yeah, and obviously there's a 1288 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: pecking order there, and and they competed all training camp, 1289 01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 1: and and from the giant standpoint that he won that 1290 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: starting job. And that's just the way that there's going 1291 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 1: to be until somebody can do better than he does. 1292 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 1: And appreciate the phone cast start, Thanks so much for 1293 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,960 Speaker 1: weighing in. Let's hear from Rick in Tampa, Florida. Rick, 1294 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to w f AN. What do you got for us? 1295 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: O'sa guys, all right, real quick, Um, you know, I 1296 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: knew it would be a tough game, but and he 1297 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 1: was the first caller, just said exactly what I was 1298 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,040 Speaker 1: gonna say. On one point, is that why is Eli 1299 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,560 Speaker 1: rolling out on both of those plays? I mean, come on, 1300 01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that's his that's his specialty and its 1301 01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:00,440 Speaker 1: eliminates THEE and why aren't those you know, add enough 1302 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 1: that we got the album says it is defensively, but 1303 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 1: Schuman's play call when we're not using sick one on 1304 01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: these short runs has got to be questioned. And regarding 1305 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: the defense, I knew, you know, listen, I didn't think 1306 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,400 Speaker 1: it was a tough game and hopefully win the next 1307 01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,600 Speaker 1: couple of games. But the defense has to show up 1308 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, and I hold that on 1309 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,320 Speaker 1: the on the defensive coach, because I don't think his 1310 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: scheme that all completely worked anywhere. And it's almost like, yes, 1311 01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna have brain cramps, we're gonna have some as 1312 01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: Paul Paul's PAULI. Dots has been saying about, you know, 1313 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna get burned, we're gonna get beat, we're gonna 1314 01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,959 Speaker 1: learn every game. But I mean, I don't I don't 1315 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: even think anything worked at all. So it's just like 1316 01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it's something, you know, something's got to be done there. 1317 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 1: And I think the play calling, like I said, is 1318 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,320 Speaker 1: what what was terrible by Schumer on a lot of 1319 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 1: those short runs where everybody's knows that Barkley's the guy 1320 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,600 Speaker 1: should get the ball. Don't you agree that that doesn't 1321 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 1: help us by those play calls. I agree with you. 1322 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: And if you if you don't want to get the 1323 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: ball to stake Kwon Barkley, you should at least have 1324 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 1: him in there as a decoy, right, I mean, if 1325 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: you think about it. But um, I also believe that 1326 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: if Eli Penny is gonna be your guy and you're 1327 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 1: gonna force the ball in there on on a third 1328 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,400 Speaker 1: and one, your offensive linement gotta get a push, You 1329 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: gotta get a yard, right, I mean, you should be 1330 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 1: able to get a yard with your But listen, I 1331 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:23,080 Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. I think defensively to James, Betcher 1332 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: likes to put pressure, he likes to get blitz is right. 1333 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,920 Speaker 1: So he blitz a lot today and got burned on 1334 01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 1: a lot of those blitzes that was in the game plan. 1335 01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: You saw a lot of the cornerback splitzes, you saw 1336 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 1: some of the safety blitzes. It did not work. They 1337 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: got beat down the middle of the field. You saw 1338 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 1: the two plays and and one. But they had said, listen, 1339 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 1: that was my fault. Two plays it was a touchdown 1340 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 1: to to the tight end and the touchdown to a 1341 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper. Well that's when they put him in coverage. Jeff. 1342 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 1: So I think that, yes, there is some onus on 1343 01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 1: the coach here, and as is some scheme stuff, and 1344 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,080 Speaker 1: it's the beginning of the season. These guys I said 1345 01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 1: it earlier. I don't know if you were listening, but 1346 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,880 Speaker 1: the younger players on this they they've got to learn 1347 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: how to game plan and get and get in those 1348 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 1: study They've got to study and next week. So we 1349 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, we know Buffalo has a great defense, 1350 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 1: but they definitely be more offensively challenge and if that 1351 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: will be the chance for the Giants defense to come 1352 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 1: out there and show some improvement, and if they can 1353 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,080 Speaker 1: get a win and show improvement there, that's okay, and 1354 01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I look forward to that, but they have to. I mean, 1355 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,560 Speaker 1: it was just it was embarrassing. It was really embarrassing. Yeah, 1356 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 1: the last thing, the last thing you want to have 1357 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 1: happened here is and appreciate the call. Rick, thanks so 1358 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: much away, thank you, thank you. Rick. And we talked 1359 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 1: a little bit about this in the open of our 1360 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 1: pregame show today. Is that you know, the Cowboys and 1361 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 1: the Giants the division game. Right off the bat, the 1362 01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: last thing you're gonna want to do is get buried 1363 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,920 Speaker 1: in this division. Then second all, the last thing you 1364 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: want to do is get off to an O and 1365 01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: to start you go and you get your home opener 1366 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 1: against an a FC team. You should be able to 1367 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,520 Speaker 1: win this game, okay, and get back to one and one. 1368 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 1: That's respectability. You follow the O and two. Look who's 1369 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 1: coming in the following week Redskins, right another division other 1370 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 1: division game, and you're at oh and two when you're pressing, 1371 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: and you're pressing, and you know, if you don't lose, 1372 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 1: if you win, if you don't win that game, you're 1373 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 1: oh and two in the division. And which is going 1374 01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 1: to be familiar territory for the Giants because that's the 1375 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 1: position they put themselves. And that's why we were talking 1376 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 1: about it today was this was a really big game 1377 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: for the Giants to hopefully try to win, because you know, 1378 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 1: if you've got to go in the next two weeks, 1379 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,440 Speaker 1: two out of the first three games or in the division, 1380 01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 1: and if you don't win in the division, then it 1381 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:34,840 Speaker 1: becomes that much more challenging to forget the division. Just 1382 01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 1: get a playoff spot or at least five and one. 1383 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,520 Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys were last year born to the Eagles, 1384 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 1: where both those teams are playoff teams. The Giants got 1385 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,680 Speaker 1: to get to at least one of those two. You 1386 01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 1: can't I think the Giants have even proved that in 1387 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: recent history. I do agree with the caller that you 1388 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: take a step back in terms of the offensive powerhouse 1389 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 1: that you played against this week, in terms of what 1390 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,440 Speaker 1: Buffalo brings to the table. So perhaps you get a 1391 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 1: better read on the defense or you get a better feel. Hey, 1392 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 1: if the defense can handle Josh Allen and a bunch 1393 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 1: of unproven wide outs with not as much experience as 1394 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 1: what Dallas has to offer. Well, you look at the 1395 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,200 Speaker 1: game the Jets played today, The Jets and the Bills 1396 01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: played today. That was a seventeen sixteen game. Okay, the 1397 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 1: Jets defense is pretty good. Okay there are Are they 1398 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: better than the Giants defense at this point? I would 1399 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,920 Speaker 1: say yes, and you know they so yeah. I agree 1400 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 1: with you this is they do take a step back offensively, 1401 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,760 Speaker 1: big bounce back opportunity for the defense. But also, you 1402 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 1: can't expect to win games when you only score seventeen 1403 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,600 Speaker 1: points on the offensive side of things. Eight seven seven 1404 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,720 Speaker 1: three three seven sixty six sixty six is the telephone number. 1405 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Will continue to field your phone calls as are recapping 1406 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: the giants thirty five seventeen loss to the Cowboys. Also 1407 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: look ahead to the Buffalo game and the importance of 1408 01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 1: divisional opponents early in the season. How that is certainly 1409 01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: set the tone in previous campaigns. We'll be back right 1410 01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:04,360 Speaker 1: at to This is DeAndre Baking. Listen to Giants football 1411 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,080 Speaker 1: on a fan w f A in New York. Welcome 1412 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 1: back to Mercedes Bends Giants extra point. He's Jeff Feagel's 1413 01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm Lance Meadow. Giants fall to the Cowboys seventeen at 1414 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 1: at and T Stadium in Arlington with this game of 1415 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: the books. Here's a look at the current standings, brought 1416 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,080 Speaker 1: to you by Taco Bell. Have a giant hunger, pick 1417 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: up a Taco twelve pack from Taco Bell today. Sometimes 1418 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,640 Speaker 1: you just gotta live moss. So the Cowboys beat the Giants. 1419 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,640 Speaker 1: The Eagles beat the Redskins, So the Cowboys of the 1420 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Eagles tied for first at one and oh. The Giants 1421 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 1: and the Redskins both oh and one. The Redskins actually 1422 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: lead the Eagles seventeen nothing and somehow watch that lead disappear. 1423 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,720 Speaker 1: The Toyota Celebration touchdown total for tonight's game is two. 1424 01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: That makes two touchdowns for the Giants this season. Dear driver, 1425 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,240 Speaker 1: hurry in and save Toyota let's go places. You know 1426 01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: what you see lands a lot of times this time 1427 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,960 Speaker 1: of the year, coming out of preseason, these starters they 1428 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 1: don't play much and they get gas. So this in 1429 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,600 Speaker 1: this case, that's what happened in that Eagles Redskins game. 1430 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,880 Speaker 1: Is that Eagles that that Redskins defense got gassed in 1431 01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,520 Speaker 1: the second half they were done. So then this that 1432 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 1: can happen. And you know, really that's why the argument 1433 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 1: always comes back to these Now this eighteen game season 1434 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 1: that we talk about. Um, you know, they don't play 1435 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: anybody in the preseason, so why don't you just extend 1436 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,320 Speaker 1: the season to eighteen so you can get a little 1437 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,760 Speaker 1: bit You know, it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna happen. Well, 1438 01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: this new CB E talks are gonna be here before 1439 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: you know it, So it's going to be I'm sure 1440 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 1: a big topic of discussion. But just remember, if you 1441 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 1: do turn preseason games into regular season games, it's not 1442 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,559 Speaker 1: as if you're eliminating the preseason because to your point, Jeff, 1443 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 1: you're still going to have that rusty period where they're 1444 01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 1: still getting used to one another and they're not clicking 1445 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:48,760 Speaker 1: from all angles and all cylinders. Yeah, but I think 1446 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: at least she'll see all of the starters for two 1447 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 1: games because coaches can't afford to hold them back. And 1448 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,720 Speaker 1: again there's been talks about, you know, they have to 1449 01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,640 Speaker 1: sit out when one or two weeks or something like that. Well, 1450 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,639 Speaker 1: that was one idea that was floated. I can't ever 1451 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,479 Speaker 1: see that happen. Can There's no way that that coach 1452 01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,160 Speaker 1: would ever agree to that. There's no way, and no 1453 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,360 Speaker 1: front door is executive. I'm sure would want that either. 1454 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 1: The bottom line here with that, and I know I 1455 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,680 Speaker 1: brought it up. I probably shouldn't even talk about it, 1456 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,479 Speaker 1: but the fact is that that's it's going to be 1457 01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:18,400 Speaker 1: all about money. The players are gonna want those two 1458 01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 1: game checks extra that are going to equal exactly what 1459 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: their game checks are for the seven team weeks that 1460 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,880 Speaker 1: they get. So they just need to find the way 1461 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:26,760 Speaker 1: to play twenty plus years in the NFL like you, 1462 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,439 Speaker 1: and then maybe they won't be worrying about how many 1463 01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: game checks they get. I'd like to have those game 1464 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 1: checks right now back, that'd be sure. Although I am 1465 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,680 Speaker 1: I I'm glad I'm not on a plane back from 1466 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 1: Dallas because when when you go when those I'm telling 1467 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,160 Speaker 1: you when you get beat down like those on the road, 1468 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 1: that's not a fun trip back. I don't miss those days. Silence, silence, 1469 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 1: you know. And and the young guys that you know, 1470 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,840 Speaker 1: the old guys just learned to shrug it off and 1471 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 1: move on. But the the young guys sometimes seem to 1472 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: take it harder than the veterans do. But they'll learn, 1473 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: they'll learn. It's a it's a young roster well, and 1474 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: that now brings us to the next game, look ahead, 1475 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 1: and a key opportunity here for this young roster Jeff 1476 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 1: to put this performance behind them, specifically on the defensive 1477 01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 1: side of the ball, and get ready for the regular 1478 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,120 Speaker 1: season home opener against the Buffalo Bills, a team with 1479 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 1: a second year quarterback at Josh Allen, a running game 1480 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't have Lashawn McCoy. They're using Frank Gore and 1481 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,680 Speaker 1: their rookie Devin single Terry. So this is not Dak Prescott, 1482 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 1: is not Zeke Kamari Cooper, the household names that the 1483 01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys have to offer. So an opportunity realistically for the 1484 01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Giants defense to be aggressive, maybe take a few more chances, 1485 01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: because the Buffalo Bills offense is far from has proven 1486 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,160 Speaker 1: as what Dallas has showcased over the last few seasons. 1487 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 1: I think Dak Prescott can throw the ball better. Okay, Um, 1488 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:44,680 Speaker 1: the Josh Allen I do know this. He likes to 1489 01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,599 Speaker 1: make plays with his feet and he likes to get 1490 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,679 Speaker 1: Russia last season for the Bills. So I think that's 1491 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 1: something you have to look at, and that defensively, you're 1492 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 1: just gonna have to keep him in the pocket. He's 1493 01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,720 Speaker 1: a big, big guy, big thrower. Um. But yeah, this 1494 01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 1: defense can is going to have to make some plays 1495 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 1: and get some pressure on the orderback and somehow James 1496 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,839 Speaker 1: Betcher is going to have to figure it out, somehow, 1497 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,880 Speaker 1: some way to get pressure. I don't care if it's 1498 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,400 Speaker 1: go back to a four three. Something's got to change here. 1499 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,680 Speaker 1: And um, I'm being just facetious there, but I mean 1500 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,080 Speaker 1: he's got to do something. I think they're because I 1501 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,639 Speaker 1: think the writings on the wall, but I believe that 1502 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,759 Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna go into this season without 1503 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:24,559 Speaker 1: touching your opposing quarterback every single week, that that that 1504 01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:27,799 Speaker 1: puts so much pressure on that secondary. That's just something's 1505 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 1: got something's got to give. Well, that goes back to 1506 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,559 Speaker 1: the fact that as good as your secondary is and 1507 01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: I'll bring up New England. And I understand New England 1508 01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,800 Speaker 1: as a unique franchise because of their success rate. But 1509 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,479 Speaker 1: last year, Jeff, the Patriots and the Giants had the 1510 01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:45,519 Speaker 1: same number of sacks, which most people probably wouldn't believe 1511 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 1: if they were to weare of that seat. They both 1512 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: had thirty sacks. Well, what was the biggest difference. How 1513 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,680 Speaker 1: does New England then get to the Super Bowl and 1514 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,200 Speaker 1: win it and the Giants end up like they were. Well, 1515 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 1: the answer is, the Patriots had an experienced, be shut 1516 01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,880 Speaker 1: down secondary. I mean, look at what those guys did 1517 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:01,080 Speaker 1: to the Rams in the Super Bowl. Agree. I agree? 1518 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: And and so we have to you kind of look 1519 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,840 Speaker 1: at the You have to look how this is going 1520 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 1: to evolve. I mean, somewhere they got to get these 1521 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: guys by drafting them. Okay, DeAndre Baker was a first 1522 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 1: round draft pick. That doesn't mean he's going to come 1523 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,759 Speaker 1: in and be a shutdown corner right away. He's gonna 1524 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,519 Speaker 1: have to learn how to play the position in the 1525 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,439 Speaker 1: National Football League, but his learning curve is gonna be 1526 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,760 Speaker 1: way quicker than some other free agent. As we saw, 1527 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,519 Speaker 1: the Giants have been trying to get guys out the 1528 01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 1: streets to play this position in the in the past. Well. 1529 01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,920 Speaker 1: And also he doesn't have the luxury, Jeff, to say, hey, 1530 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm playing behind the veteran for a year. They need him, 1531 01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,519 Speaker 1: they because the personnel right now. I didn't have to 1532 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 1: look at Corey, look at Valentine, you look at Love, 1533 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 1: you look at all these young guys that they brought in. 1534 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,599 Speaker 1: Give him some time. They're there. They make some good places. 1535 01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,360 Speaker 1: We saw it in preseason. They're they're they're very active, 1536 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,720 Speaker 1: they can play. Just gonna take some time. Well, but 1537 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 1: it's also a different story when now you're going up 1538 01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,640 Speaker 1: against the starters for all four quarters and they make 1539 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 1: adjustments and tweaks based on what they see on you 1540 01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,880 Speaker 1: on Phil. Whereas what we were talking about earlier, Jeff, 1541 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: it's the mell in the preseason. They're not worried about 1542 01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,240 Speaker 1: tweaking the game plans. You're out there for the whole 1543 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: game in preseason, go wow, this game is pretty easy. 1544 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: These same route you know, so predictable, but it is. 1545 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,439 Speaker 1: And and really from a team perspective, you get back 1546 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: in the locker room and you've got to have a quick, 1547 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, turnaround. You just gotta have forget about what happened. Corrections, 1548 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,240 Speaker 1: and that's what happens on Mondays. You come in, they 1549 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 1: do the corrections, and then you move on short memory. 1550 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 1: But there's certainly, to your point, going to have to 1551 01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:31,839 Speaker 1: find a way to generate pressure. Have to. There's no question. 1552 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:33,840 Speaker 1: It's gonna have to be there, and if if not, 1553 01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: then it's gonna be a long, long year. Marcus Golden 1554 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,599 Speaker 1: is the loan, proven commodity, nineteen career sacks. He had 1555 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 1: twelve and a half though in one season. But here's 1556 01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,600 Speaker 1: the kicker, Jeff, and you and I have had a 1557 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,759 Speaker 1: lot of these conversations dating back to the off season 1558 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,960 Speaker 1: he had Chandler Jones playing opposite him in Arizona. Who 1559 01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:56,040 Speaker 1: is the proven guy opposite Marcus Golden? Now, yeah, so 1560 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 1: they don't have to they don't have to put all 1561 01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:01,280 Speaker 1: their attention to anybody. Chandler Jones. You gonna pay attention, right, 1562 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 1: and that frees up one on one favorable opportunities. Who 1563 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,479 Speaker 1: now is the opposing offensive line worried about? Are they 1564 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: worried about Lorenzo o Carter? They worried about O'Shane zimminez. 1565 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys yes, they flashed and they're hopefully 1566 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a part of the Giants future. But they've 1567 01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 1: got to prove it first before offenses start worrying about them. 1568 01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: No question, Well, we will be back next week.
