1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Alrighty everyone, welcome once again to Big Blue Kickoff live 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: here on Giants dot Com. The number has always is 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: two oh one four five one three. I am Rus Salzburg, 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: joined today by Lance Meadow and it is a happy Tuesday. 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: The Giants have won three last night. As I'm sure 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: all of you Giants fans are well aware, they got 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: off the Schneider and and Lance um. You know, watching 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: the guys on the post game, it was like watching 9 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: a bunch of kids who just won the Peewee championship. 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: And I mean that in such a positive way because 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: it was that exuberance, the happiness of I mean, from 12 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: O'Dell to Eli, I saw Angram and and Shepherd. They 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: would just you can tell we could breathe. It's it's 14 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: not all is not fixed. What we can breathe, we 15 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: can you know. As O'Dell said after the game, it 16 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: would have been a long ride home, long flight home, 17 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: five six hours coming back, and I'm sure it was 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: a very enjoyable, very enjoyable flight. Guys were pumped up, 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: so listen, like I say, all is not fixed, but 20 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: they got the job done. Eli got the job done. 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: O'Dell got the job done. There was certainly. Uh, the 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: offensive line, there was an improvement jim on Jumon Brown 23 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Brown clearly, uh, you know for his initial Uh, his 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: debut helped and they kept Eli upright, Eli had time 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: and they won the game. A win is a win, 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: you know, hundreds, right, Russ. Was it a perfect performance? No, 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: but you don't get brownie points in terms of how 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: you win the game. All that matters is you finished 29 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: on top of the team that you played, and they 30 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: did by four points. And to your point, listen, they 31 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: went five straight games without a win. That's a very 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: long time in the National Football League, considering you play 33 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: one game per week. They also had to buy in 34 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: the mid it so this was a long time coming. 35 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: And this was a Niners team that had just as 36 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: many question marks and just as many issues as the 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: New York Giants. So, you know, certainly a step in 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: the right direction. You hit on a few things that 39 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: I think we're encouraging to take away from this game. 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: Rus number one, And we've been talking about this all season. 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: When you give your quarterback protection, you see what happens. Now. 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be a lot of callers and 43 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna claim, well, you know, let's not all of 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: a sudden start a new narrative that Eli Manning is 45 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: going to continue to do this moving forward. But he 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: deserves credit for taking advantage of solid pass protection on 47 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: Monday night. And when you give your quarterback time, whether 48 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: he's mobile or a statue, you see that you have 49 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity to survey the field and make plays down 50 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: the field. And that play that you were talking about 51 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Jimmon Brown when he was inserted, it did not take 52 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: long rust to see what he could do on that 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: very first pass to Odell Beckham for a touchdown. When 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: they got the ball after the first b J. Goodson interception, 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: Jimon Brown takes away the defensive tackle for the Niners. 56 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: He pushes him towards Chad Wheeler, then Cassie marsh the 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: defensive end comes to the interior. Brown moves him out 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: of the way and Eli has now an extra second 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: or two to survey the field and he hits Odell 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Beckham right in the back of the end zone. So 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: that was an immediate difference maker. And pass protection was 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: great because he was sacked once and he was hit 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: three times. And if you look at the numbers over 64 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: the course of the season. They gave up thirty one 65 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: sacks in the first eight games, and he was hit 66 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: at least five times in every single game. So that 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: was a huge stride I think of the right direction. 68 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: The question is can they now continue to build upon 69 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: that or was that simply a flash because the Niners 70 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: haven't necessarily had the most consistent pass us season. And 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: but I don't think. Listen, seeing some of the guys 72 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: around today seeing um, you know, uh Pat Shermer, uh, 73 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know some of the other coaches, it 74 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: was back to business. They're getting ready. I mean, you know, 75 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: just as they say, you don't dwell on a loss. 76 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: You can't sit and rest on your laurels over a victory. 77 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: You gotta go head and prepare and take care of business. 78 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean, there were a few things. Listen. You mentioned 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: also Jamal Brown, there was one particular run of H 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, maybe it was I don't 81 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: know if it was the first down, maybe it was 82 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: a nine or eight an eight year had run. But 83 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: there was one particular run of Q where also Brown, 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: you he just moved somebody and you weren't seeing that. 85 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: Now I would say this, uh, one of the things 86 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: that helped last night as far as I was concerned, 87 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: you know, they were they stuck with trying to stay 88 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: They stuck with the running game. And but by sticking 89 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: with the running game, it opened up things to play action. 90 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: If they don't respect you, and we would talk about 91 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: the last time, if they don't respect your running game, 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: well then you you play action really doesn't exist. They're 93 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: not worried about it, so that now I would say this, 94 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: You know, you do have a superstar running back. There 95 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: is no if or butts about that. When he touches 96 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: the ball, you get excited, just like you get excited 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: when the ball is in uh Odell Beckham Odell Beckham 98 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: Junior's hands. But having said that, I still see a 99 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: little for my liking, a little too many negative yard rushes, 100 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: a little too many no gains. You know, I was 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: looking the second player the game, you know, after Odel's 102 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: drop on the first play, Barkley was my negative one 103 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: on On the second series, there was a negative two, 104 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: there was you know, there were I think there was 105 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: three or four negative yard rushes, a couple of no gains, 106 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: I mean, which has been the case all yes, and 107 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: again that's I think it's probably a combination of things. 108 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: It might be a combination of him trying to do 109 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: a little too much. But I think the line, and 110 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: we we spoke about this, the running lanes have to 111 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: be the It doesn't have to be a garage. Just 112 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: give him a closet, you know, let let him have 113 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: something to go through. But yes, yes, last night was 114 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: a big improvement. It was a big improvement for all 115 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: parties concerned because they came away with the w Now 116 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: I was getting a little nervous, I don't know about you. 117 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: I mean, the third down efficiency of was a little 118 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: too much for my liking. And it wasn't so much 119 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: the converting on the third downs, but a lot of 120 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: them the guys were wide open. Like to me, you know, 121 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't like wow, they would making spectacular plays on 122 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: third down. They were wide open. So you know, that 123 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: has to be fixed, and I'm sure it will be fixed. 124 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that Kittle tight end is pretty formidable. Well, 125 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: he's one of the most underrated tight ends in the NFL. 126 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: He was a fifth round pick out of Iowa a 127 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: few years ago. The fact that he fell to the 128 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: Niners is remarkable, and you know they're taking full advantage 129 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: of it. Because Kyle Shanahan's offense is built upon misdirection. 130 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: They utilized the fullback, they utilized the tight ends, So 131 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: that wasn't necessarily a surprise, but I would agree with 132 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: you RUSS. San Francisco was eight of thirteen. Now why 133 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: were they eight of thirteen? Why was Nick Mullins making 134 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: a lot of wide open throw was to the middle 135 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: of the field. Well, there really wasn't much of a 136 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: pass rush. And you know, while you look at Eli 137 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: Manning and the offense two of four in the red zone, 138 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: encouraging pass protection, encouraging the running game. To your point, okay, 139 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: still slight ups and downs. I think on the flip 140 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: side from a defensive standpoint, you know, they need to 141 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: find ways to get after the quarterback. And they did 142 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: not record one sack against the Niners offensive line RUSS 143 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: that had surrendered thirty one sacks. This was an offensive 144 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: line that had just as much trouble as the Giants, 145 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: and that's why I think Nick Mullins was extremely comfortable. 146 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: He was able to survey the field and they were 147 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: extremely efficient on third down. The other thing to note, 148 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: San Francisco ran the ball effectively nearly four and a 149 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: half yards per carry a buck twenty four. Matt Brita 150 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: was over a hundred yards, a number of big runs. 151 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: And if you remember us when James Betcher spoke to 152 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the media before the Niners game, he said he looked 153 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: back at the film during the bye week and his 154 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway was the unit is not playing well and 155 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: executing in the second half of the fourth quarter. And 156 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: that was exactly what happened last night. Again, where to 157 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: your point, you felt, Okay, the Giants had some momentum. 158 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: Now the Niners are marching down the field some past plays. 159 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: You had the penalty against Lorenzo Carter, which I think 160 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: it was a legitimate penalty. He went right down on 161 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback's body. And now you getting nervous there at 162 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: the twelve yard line. And they brought more pressure on 163 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: that final drive than they did throughout the entirety of 164 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: the game. But you want to see a little bit 165 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: more consistency, just like you want to see on the 166 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: running game side for the Giants. You want to see 167 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: the Giants have a little bit more consistent pass rush 168 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: and get home and that I don't think we're seeing, 169 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: whether it be in wins or lossuit. So that's certainly 170 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: an area of improvement moving forward. The other thing I 171 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: wanted to add RUSS is special teams, and there was 172 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: the good and the bad from a special team standpoint. 173 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: The bad was the penalties. Corey Coleman, who I thought 174 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: provided a really nice spark in the return game, two 175 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: good returns were wiped out with penalty. Scott simons In 176 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: and Nate Stupor had holding penalties, and then Oldrick Rosas 177 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: kicked the ball out of bounds. At the beginning of 178 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: the third quarters. The Niners get the ball all at 179 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: their own forty and no surprise, they go down the 180 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: field they score a touchdown, and I thought that was 181 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: a huge turning point. And with the way the Giants 182 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: are struggling to score points r Us in my mind 183 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: I was saying, I mean, that may have been the 184 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: game right there, and to the Giants credit, they regrouped 185 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: and recovered. But you cannot give gifts to the opposition 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: on special teams when your offense struggles to score points 187 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: in your defense struggles to get off the field on 188 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: third down. I mean, that's a double lamby right there. Well, 189 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: without question, I'll tell you what though, and you're right 190 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: about the Lorenzo Carter penalty. But having said that, we've 191 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: discussed that because it was you know, you know, Matthews 192 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: against the Vikings, like with three weeks in a row, 193 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: whatever the hell it is. That rule is a very 194 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: very tough one, and if you are a football player, 195 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: you're coming with force. Of course. It's just very, very 196 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: very hard to call. Like there was one um one 197 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: play where I forget who was It was called personal 198 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: foul helmet the helmet and and really you know he 199 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: was going in, he was leading the show that It's 200 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: just it's it's the rules have to be they have 201 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: to look at it can't be administered this way. It's 202 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: just too iffy. Well, I'm with you, rus I think 203 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: from a defensive perspective, the pass rusher, it's very difficult 204 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: when you're wrapping up the quarterback to your point and 205 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden mentally stop, think do I roll 206 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: them to the side. It's a bank bank play, And 207 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: that's what it was with Lorenzo Carter. But I think 208 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: there's a distinct difference between saying maybe the rule is 209 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: not great, but the call was correct on the field. 210 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: And I think with the Lorenzo Carter play rush the 211 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: call was correct, meaning the interpretation of the written I'm 212 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: agreeing with you on that, but but it's gotta be 213 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,479 Speaker 1: rewritten well, and that's what they're doing. Listen, the Competition 214 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: committee every single off season goes back to the drawing 215 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: board and they try to find ways to tweak the language. 216 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: And I think, no matter how much you tweak this rule, 217 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: you're asking defensive players to think a lot when they 218 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: go after the quarterback. And you know, whenever a defensive 219 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: player thinks too much, you're entering dangerous territory because then 220 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: there's gonna be the lack of execution and it's gonna 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: lead to penalties. So that's the gray area right now 222 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: that the league is trying to work out. But I 223 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: think it's important from at least a fan perspective. And 224 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: fans get irritated what a call goes against them. Read 225 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: the language of the rule and how it's specifically crafted. 226 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: And I think once you read the language, you see 227 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: that the official in misregard interpreted correctly. All right, Well, anyway, folks, 228 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: gotta remind all of you that big Blue Kickoff Live 229 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: here is presented by a corpse Lights.

Now, Lance, you 232 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: aren't here with us last week, and we got a call. 233 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: Oh boy, uh no, no, a good call. Uh he's 234 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: he's a good fan calls all the time. We got 235 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: a call and we were laughing because he was going 236 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: through the schedule. Now, this is my favorite game. I think, 237 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't know he's going. He was going through the 238 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: schedule and he was figuring it out. How you know 239 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: we can get into the playoffs and oh yeah, game's 240 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: favorite game. And so because of that, and he he 241 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: was tweeting me, contacting me on Twitter last night, I 242 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: have to make sure that he is our first caller 243 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: up today. So let's go to Canton, New York and 244 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: speak with Dylan. Boy. You must be all smiles today, 245 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: my friend. Oh yeah, yea. What do you got fir 246 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: Us today? Dell? Um, Well, I just had a few things. 247 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to start with the offensive line. I wanted 248 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: to say job well done. Um you know, like you said, 249 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: Eli was act just one time. They finally gave Eli 250 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: some time to throw. And with that being said, he 251 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: throws for three touchdowns and also the game winning drive. 252 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: I think they go to show, you know, a lot 253 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: of the critics that have been you know, criticized in 254 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: ELI all season and uh some of the social media 255 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: gms on you know, social media and stuff that shows 256 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: that ELI and I believe that he can still play, 257 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: he can still deliver. You just gotta give him some time. 258 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean last night, he didn't have to be mobile 259 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: at all all. He all he had to do was 260 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: get his throws off when needed, and he was able 261 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: to deliver. Um. I was also glad to see Corey 262 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: Coleman out there making some plays. I thought that was 263 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: pretty good. See the kick off, it was pretty good. 264 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: He also caught a big third down maybe big third 265 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: down catch as well, three defenders in the way. Oh yeah, 266 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: that was very impressive. And then um the run blocking 267 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: I didn't think was as good as the past blocking, 268 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: but um I wanted to um signify two of the 269 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: alignment m B for one. Hats off to Jamon Brown. UM. 270 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: I thought he'd played really well. Especially I'm back them 271 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: first touchdown pat or touchdown catch. She made a nice 272 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: block to give you Lave some extra time to deliver 273 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: that throw. And then um, I was impressed by Spencer 274 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: Pulley on the Sterling Shepherd reverse. He was down to 275 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: the next level. He was sprinting down the field trying 276 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: to make a block for Sterling Shepherd, and I thought 277 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: that was really really nice. And plus that the effort 278 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: he had on that simultaneous catch that could have been 279 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: a deception. He dove in there, and I thought that 280 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: was really really awesome to see. Um, But there was 281 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: just there's two parts of criticism I noticed, like I 282 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: wanted to bring up to and you guys talked about 283 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: a little bit, was the penalties. I think, Um, moving forward, 284 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: you just you gotta have more self discipline. Uh, obviously 285 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: we know penalties can be a drive killer, they can 286 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: be a game killer. And that last drive, I was 287 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: getting nervous because it was third and seven and Hernandez 288 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: had a false start and it put us back to 289 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: third and yeah, and then the Niners had another penalty 290 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: to help give them an automatic first down because Malcolm 291 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Smith was trying to hold say Kwan Barkley, so your 292 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: percent right, they were extremely fortunate. There was actually four 293 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: penalties at the span of five plays between both teams. 294 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: Because then you had a defensive pass interference call against 295 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: San Francisco and Eli was trying to hit Oldell Beckham 296 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: down the left sideline and it was backwards forwards, backwards forwards. 297 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: It was one of those fine dances across the line. 298 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it was you know, I swear my 299 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: blood pressure was pretty sky high and that. Yeah, getting nervous, 300 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: but I'll leave you guys on this. Um, I'm not 301 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: for me. I'm not sure how confident I'm moving forward 302 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: with the three four defense because I feel like we 303 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: still struggle to get a pass rush without using a blitz, 304 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: and then when we do use the blitz, sometimes we 305 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: get burned in coverage, whether it be man coverage or 306 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: what what have you. Um, but definitely hopefully next week, 307 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: uh when we talked about another way against Tampa Bay 308 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: and uh, definitely make another good morning. Alright, Dylan, as 309 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: always my friend, Thank you for the call. We'll talk 310 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: to you soon. Dylan's off. Okay, Uh listen, Yeah, that's 311 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: one thing that I would have liked to see, and 312 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: I didn't see much of a Giant's pass rush last night. Yeah. Well, 313 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's why I said it didn't really come 314 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: alive to me until that last drive when they put 315 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: some pressure on Mullins and that was the reason why 316 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: he threw out of the back of the end zone. 317 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: So that's certainly an area that they can to continue 318 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: to focus on. And I mean the other thing that 319 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: Dylan brought up was the three four alignment and whether 320 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: or not you know that's not creating enough pass rush. 321 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: The other thing to keep in mind is, I think 322 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: teams have just been really effective in helping pick up 323 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: the Giants blitz. I remember there was one play last 324 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: night Russ when the Giants brought the blitz. I can't 325 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: remember if it was the last Niners drive. I don't 326 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: remember exactly where I was in the game. Maybe some 327 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: of the fans will remember. And Curtis Riley got good 328 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: penetration and Kyle use Check, the Niners fullback just laid 329 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: him out. I mean, that's just good fundamentals, body on body. 330 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: So even when it looks like the Giants again at home, 331 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: San Francisco had provided some really good protection for its quarterback. 332 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: Did you see there was one play?

Odell Beckham gut in, 335 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, laid a big well here's another one. How 336 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: about on the Shepherd reverse when the caller was talking 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: about Spencer Pully that wasn't was udge a nudge I 338 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: I like to call a little love tab. But hey, 339 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: you know what he got down in dirty and he 340 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: gave the defensive line a little push. The guy need 341 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: a little help to get laid out of the floor. 342 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: A little nudge that he deserves a little without question. 343 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: All right, two one, one, three is the number again. 344 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: Want to remind all of you that big little kickoff 345 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: I presented to you by course light.

Let's now go down to Atlanta and speak 348 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: with Greg. Greg, how are you doing to that you're 349 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: on with Russ and Lancey? How Russian lance How you 350 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: guys are doing? Dody, I'm just happy to see us 351 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: get a victory in and a lot of victory to 352 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: me just seems to be effort, and sheems like there's 353 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: a lot more effort. And last night did he looked 354 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: at it especially like speaking of the little things like 355 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: the ELI block and all those little things man's a 356 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: big difference in the game. And the other thing I 357 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: just with I'm happy we won and I'm happy with 358 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: what I saw. But the last time I called the 359 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: it's exactly what I spoke about. You. Even if sak 360 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: Kwan back, you're getting negative jodage on runs and I 361 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: know I'll run run blocking herself like that. You guys 362 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: said earlier, you still have to run the ball and 363 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: make the deepest respect with Greg. Couldn't agree with you 364 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: more on that. Yeah, it's just good to see that. 365 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: Gave Barkley the ball two times, three times in a row. 366 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: He said, now every time they want to still you 367 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: don't know the ball and not tell it makes you 368 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: respect what we're doing a lot better. And it kept 369 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: sim just go at Bagan. I was just it was 370 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: just refreshing to see we can get a lot more. Well. 371 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: The one thing I'm going to disagree with you on, 372 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: Greg is that I disagree with you saying you're saying 373 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: that we saw the effort last night. You know what 374 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: you saw last night. You've seen effort all season. What 375 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: you haven't seen is execution, and the coach. The coaches 376 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: would tell you that there's a big difference. Know, if 377 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: you're not executing, then everything looks like as you say, 378 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: looks like it sucks effort and everything else, because the 379 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: net result is going to be a loss. But so 380 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: to me, it was execution, not effort. Effort has been there. 381 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: But last night you got the execution because because the 382 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: offensive line executed there form and it allowed Eli to 383 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: stand back and pass. Eli executed, he put the ball 384 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: in the hands of his receivers. It all worked last night, 385 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: and it still needs to work better. But um, it 386 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: was execution that did the job last night, not effort. 387 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: Effort has been there. But as always, Gregg, thanks very 388 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: much for the call. Make sure your call us again, 389 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you, and just add to what you said, 390 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: Russ Sterling, Shepard made a really good grab in the 391 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: end zone for the go ahead touchdown. You know, that's execution. 392 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, the thirty one yard catch up the sideline, 393 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: that's execution. The ability for Eli to put the ball 394 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: where he needed to, with the exception of missing Old 395 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: Dell for the home run. It's hard to pick a 396 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: point in the game where you thought, all right, Eli 397 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily make a good decision, so he was much 398 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: better than we've seen in previous games, and you know, 399 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: special teams. As I said the return game with Corey Coleman, 400 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: that was encouraging. A lot of things went smoother last 401 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: night compared to what had happened did the first day games. 402 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: And the other thing that was noticeable Russ is in 403 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: previous games they pick up penalties, they'd have misques, and 404 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: they couldn't find a way to get over the hump. 405 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: Monday night was a game in which on that last 406 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: drive you've got Sae Kwon Barkley is three yard pass, 407 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: he loses three yards. Then you have the Will Hernandez 408 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: false starts, so you're facing a third and twelve first 409 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: day games of the season. They're not converting the third 410 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: and twelves, or they're not getting a penalty or drawing 411 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: the opposing team off sides or whatever it may be. 412 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: So that was also refreshing. That was different, But I 413 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: agree with it. It's got nothing to do with the 414 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: lack of effort. The effort has always been there. Execution 415 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: is not. And the one thing one guy's name we 416 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: haven't mentioned, not one, but two interceptions b J Goodson, 417 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: first two of his career. By the way, so takeaways, 418 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: which they had seven in the first eight games. That 419 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: was it. Now. They capitalized on the first one, they 420 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: didn't capitalize on the second one, which was not good. 421 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: You gotta, you know, especially when you're making those takeaways 422 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: in an advantageous part of the field, you got to 423 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: make the most of it. It was also on that 424 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: subject the third time this season that they didn't turn 425 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: the ball over. And it's no coincidence, Russ. Two of 426 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: the three games in which they've had zero turnovers, they've 427 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: won those games Houston and Atlanta, with the other two 428 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: where they didn't turn the ball over. All right, two 429 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: oh one, five one, three is the number. Let's go 430 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: to rose Hill check in with Jimmy. Jimmy, you're on 431 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: with Russ and Lance. How you doing today, Hey guys, 432 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: how are you? Um? Pleasure to listen to you as 433 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: always having called in a while, and but nonetheless I 434 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: enjoy your show every every week. I just want to 435 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: comment a little bit about the offensive line. It's a 436 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: position near and deed of my own heart, having played 437 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: in high school and college. And I focused a lot 438 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: on m last night to take the game. Watched it 439 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: again this morning, and you know, I thought that there 440 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, there were there were sometimes obviously they got 441 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: a little pressure up the middle. But I thought Brown 442 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: for the most part, UH did a decent job. And 443 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: what impressed me the most, I think was the h 444 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: that seems to be a last night anyway, the middle 445 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: of the line held up. I mean, Eli, I think 446 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: like most quarterbacks, you know, they do not like the 447 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: pressure up the middle. There were a couple of plays 448 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: where guys got pushed back, but I mean for the 449 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: most part, I focused on the center and the two guards, 450 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: and I thought the center of the line last night, 451 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: UM what I thought there was a significant difference in 452 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: the play and the performance of the line in that 453 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: particular part of the line that I've seen in the 454 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: entire year, you know. And I think Brown did a 455 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: really really good job of you know, considering in fact 456 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's still wept behind the ears in 457 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: terms of his UH time with the Giants. I thought, 458 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: I saw a noticeable difference last night, and I was 459 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: I was encouraged by it. Um and the other thing too, 460 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: when they talked something. I looked at the yardage rushing 461 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: and they were I think Sake wanted sixty seven seven 462 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: yards somewhere in that neighborhood. But I both I think 463 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: both he and Goldman. There were a couple of times 464 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: when when there were there were scenes there that the 465 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: running backs didn't see. I rememb there's a play I 466 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: think it was in the second quarter, might have been 467 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: in the first Goldman took a bounced it outside and 468 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: if he just put his foot down at the hash 469 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: mark there and went up, he was looking at a 470 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: good six or seven yard game. So people complain about, 471 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line, you know, not doing their jobs. 472 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes they do and and the it's the running backs 473 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: forth and not necessarily picking up the whole world's there. 474 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: But but in general, I was I was really encouraged 475 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: by what I saw from the line in general, and 476 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: those three guys in the middle in particular. I like 477 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: to hear your thoughts on that as well. Well, Well, Jimmy, 478 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, that was pretty a stud of you to 479 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: come up with, you know, the guys in the middle 480 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: of the offensive line. Because I don't know we had 481 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: this discussion. I don't forget who we were discussing it with, 482 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: but we had this discussion last week. You know a 483 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, some of the criticism Nate Soldier. Uh, 484 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: somebody pointed out, and it was a fair point. I 485 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: think you've heard this lance that Nate Soldier was not 486 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: planning any different that he played with the Patriots. He 487 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: is the difference, you know, he's pushing somebody to the outside. 488 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: When he was with the Patriots, Brady had the ability 489 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: to step up because there was a place to step 490 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: up into. Pretty much the first eight games of the season, 491 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: there hasn't been places for Eli to step up into. 492 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: Last night, there was there were that that was a 493 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: significant difference. That's why he had time. So yeah, Jimmy, 494 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: you're right, my friend, And and thanks for the call. 495 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: That's a good point that you brought up. It all, 496 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, as they say, it's the old business, it's 497 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: all cohesiveness, it all has to work together. Last night 498 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: was the first time I really I think you really 499 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: could say the offensive line was really working together. Yeah. Well, 500 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean, based on what the last color was bringing up, 501 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: it starts on the interior of the offensive line, because 502 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: if you allow penetration up the middle what you were 503 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: referring to Russ, then all of a sudden, the defensive 504 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: ends are gonna come from the sides and where's the 505 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: quarterback gonna go? So keep in mind, Spencer Pulley is 506 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: the third different center that the Giants are utilizing this season. 507 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: You had John hallape Oh, he goes down against the Cowboys, 508 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: then John Greco steps in for him, and then as 509 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: a result of changes at right guard, they moved Greco 510 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: out and Pully comes in and Pullice started sixteen games 511 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Chargers decided to go with Mike Pouncey 512 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: this offseason. That's what made fully expendable and just like 513 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: Jimon Brown became expendable when the Rams decided to go 514 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: in a different direction. So the Giants now have two 515 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: guys that are still relatively new but have plenty of 516 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: starting experience under their belt. And we'll see whether or 517 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: not Jimon Brown and Spencer Pully playing next to one 518 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: another for the next few games can continue to build 519 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: some chemistry. And while it's still a small sample size, 520 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: and the Niners have some pretty good interior defensive lineman 521 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: like DeForrest Buckner, So you know, this to me is 522 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: not oh well, you know the Niners are not good. 523 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: So let's not all of a sudden give these guys credit. 524 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: That was a tough pass rush that they went up against. 525 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: Niners have a number of former first round picks. They 526 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: took first round picks in fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen and 527 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: used it on defensive lineman or pass rushers. But the 528 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: only thing I will point out is it's gonna get 529 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: challenging russ as we move forward here. They still got 530 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee on the schedule. They got Chicago on the schedule, 531 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: where you've got a significant upgrade in terms of the 532 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: pass rush department, and it's gonna be a big test 533 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: for the Giants interior line. But I do think that 534 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: not allowing guys up the gut last night allowed Eli 535 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: to ride the pocket. That's why the first thing I 536 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: saw on that first Beckham touch down is Brown pushed 537 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: them out. And you know, you didn't see Beckham with 538 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: the happy feat. You didn't see Manning with the defeat, 539 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: which we've seen it sometimes. He stayed cool, calm, collected, 540 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: went back and forth, rode that pocket, and I gave 541 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: him time to step into his throw and hit back up. 542 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: Two O one five one three is the number. Let's 543 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: now go down to Columbia, Maryland check in with our 544 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: friend Len Hello Land you're on with Russ and Lance today. 545 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: Hey guys, how you doing? How are you doing today? Hell, 546 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: that's a nice win last night, Russ. Yes, it was. 547 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: That's that's a nice win. That felt good. That felt good. 548 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: Maybe we can get to in a row here. I 549 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: can't remember the last time we won two in a row. 550 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, at home against Tampa, that's uh, 551 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm thinking positive about that. I think 552 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: Lance was right. We got some tough games going forward, 553 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: but I think Tampa is one of those games coming 554 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: home after win, um against the team that uh really 555 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: uh you know, you can you can. You can put 556 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: points up against Tampa. Absolutely, they can also put points 557 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: up against and they should. You know, if if o'del, 558 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: if if O'Dell has a chance to catch one more 559 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: than he did last night in the form of touchdown passes, 560 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I think it's probably Sunday against Stampa. Um, so that 561 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: should so that should that should be fun and it 562 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: would be nice to see a home win. Nice to 563 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: see a home win, you know. Um, I want to 564 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: talk about the run defense. Um no, No, I'm not 565 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: going to start negatively. I'm gonna I'm gonna start out positively. Um, 566 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: I was really impressed last night. I was beginning to 567 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: lose confidence confidence in Ingram and um, you know that 568 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: to fourth quarter catches. Wow, you saw the hands. Uh, 569 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: you saw the explosion, you saw the speed down the sidelines. 570 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Oh my god, that's a that's 571 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: a different Evan Ingram. I think going forward, I think 572 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. I think he's healthy. 573 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: I think the second half of the season. Half think 574 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: Ingram is uh is really gonna turn it up a notch. Well, 575 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, I took. I felt good about him last night. 576 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: The one thing that Pat Sherman has stressed, you know, continuously, uh, 577 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: never wavered from it. You know, Listen, there's been some 578 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: fair criticism of Ingram simply because drops this is the NFL. 579 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: You're not on scholarship. You paid to catch the ball, 580 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: you know, and especially when they go through their hands 581 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: and you know on a crucial fourth and three, which 582 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: what happened, you know it lingers. But one thing Sherman says, 583 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: nobody works harder at catching the ball than Evan Ingram, 584 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: and which is which is saying a lot because to me, 585 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: nobody works harder on the team than Odell Beckham Jr. 586 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: So the fact that he would just say that, you know, 587 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: is a plus. And you know, I'm sure nobody's gonna 588 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: want to admit it, but you know what, I'm sure 589 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: his confidence wavered or he's a little down on himself. 590 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: So you know, you said, it's not only that the 591 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: coming off of a win, but they're coming off of 592 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: a win to face Tampa feeling good about themselves. And 593 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: what else, they're healthy. Yeah, they're the healthiest healthy as 594 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: we've been in years at this point in the season, 595 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: at this point in the scene. Well, they had seven 596 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: healthy scratches in the game because he didn't have to 597 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: make any decisions based on injury. And you know the 598 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 1: other thing line before we let you continue on the 599 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: tight end position, I'm looking at the snap count from 600 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: last night and interestingly, having Ingram only played three more 601 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: snaps than Rhet Ellison. So the point is Rhett Ellison 602 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: was actually on the field a lot last night. And 603 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: if you also notice they utilize the fullback Elijah Penny, 604 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: that to me was a noticeable difference in terms of 605 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: alignment in personnel usage. And that doesn't mean that they 606 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: don't have confidence in Evan Ingram but they went with 607 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: their strong blockers last night to complement the offensive line. Yes, 608 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: and that that that fullback. Um, you know, we're starting 609 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: to get some numbers out of the fullback position. And 610 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna play eleven guys, use eleven guys. 611 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, I could agree with you more. By the way, 612 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: an answer to your question, the last time the Giants 613 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,239 Speaker 1: won two games in a row was the end of 614 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: the two thousand and sixteen season in December. It was 615 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: December eleventh, they beat the Cowboys ten seven, and then 616 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: on the eighteenth they took care of the Lion seventeen 617 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: to six. There you go. Thank you for that for 618 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: that stat one a couple of other players that kind 619 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: of impressed me last night that you know, I think 620 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: stood out. You know, I'll get a lot of argument 621 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: on this statement, but I've been saying this since the 622 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: offseason in trying to get the Giants to resign Odell. 623 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: I wanted him to do that very badly. He I 624 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: don't want to discuss this for too long because there's 625 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of ways to argue this, but he's the 626 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: best player in the NFL. Odell Beckham is the best 627 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: player in the NFL. I mean they he's just fabulous. 628 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: You know, you talk about generational players, this this guy 629 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: is really good. All right, an upset on Odell on 630 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: the defensive side. You know, I've been I've been saying 631 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: this since since training camp and the preseason. This this guy, 632 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: Josh Morral, he is one tough dude. Yes he is, 633 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: you know what. And he brings a tude an attitude. Yeah, 634 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: I saw that on the field. You can't have enough 635 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: of those. On defense, you really can't have enough of those. Hey, Lance, 636 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: you know you made a comment um early in the 637 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: show on the on the car to play on on 638 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: his penalty and uh, and you know it's it's tough 639 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: for defensive players. I mean, one thing they're taught is 640 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: to arrive angry. I mean, you know you can you 641 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: can't tell a guy that, you know, tone it down 642 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: a bit. It's just it's where the league is. It 643 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: was I thought it was a penalty, but man, it's 644 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: it's tough on those right from the beginning. They're taught 645 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: to arrive at the ball angry. Well, I think lend 646 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: the biggest challenges. Yes, they are taught to arrive angry finish, 647 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: which is what Lorenzo Carter did. I don't think there 648 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: was anything dirty. But what you're asking them to do 649 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: is okay, when you got the quarterback wrapped up and 650 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: you bring him down, they're telling you, the league is 651 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: saying you cannot land with your body on top of 652 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback. But it's very difficult. As you're bringing the 653 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: quarterback down, You've got to sort of roll to your 654 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: side to prevent yourself from landing on the quarterback. So 655 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: I get your point, and I'm not saying that it's 656 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: easy for Lorenzo Carter. All I'm arguing is based on 657 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: the ridden rule. The officials correctly interpreted that, and that's 658 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: all we could go by because that's what they're supposed 659 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: to that. You know, len you you bring I I 660 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: love the comment that you said. You know they're they're 661 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: told to come to show up angry. You know, let 662 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: him rest in peace. The old GM George Young used 663 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: to talk all the time about you know, you you 664 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: want these football players to turn it on and off. 665 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: They can't turn it on and off, let alone on 666 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: the field. No, And his point was they are raised 667 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: in a spartan like of course attitude atmosphere. They they 668 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: they're raised to be gladiators in the arena. That's really 669 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: what it is. And now you want them like when 670 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: they go away, they don't just turn it off like 671 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: after the game. Well, worse than that, How the hell 672 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: did I turn it off during the game. You're in 673 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: the middle of going after somebody and you're gonna pull back, 674 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you something, that's how you go. You 675 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: hurt yourself by doing that. It's it's really a dangerous situation. Yeah, 676 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: And I suspect Russ And this is starting to get 677 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 1: a little psychological here, but I suspect once the career 678 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 1: is over for a defensive player, well for offensive players too, 679 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: but especially for defensive players, it takes time for them 680 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: to tone that down, the competitive fire, the competitive fire 681 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: in their everyday life. Oh, I don't think. I don't think, Glenn. 682 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: I think you make a very good point. I think 683 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: that's probably a little similar two prize fighters two boxers. 684 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you live, you live your entire life going 685 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: into a ring, and I don't care what sport you like. 686 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: You don't have to be a boxing fan. But I 687 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: am telling you this, there is nothing like you are there. 688 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: He is there, and that is it, mano a mano. 689 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: You're naked there all alone, nobody is there to help you, 690 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: and and you when you leave, all of a sudden, 691 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: what am I doing now? I mean that that's a 692 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 1: major major adjustment. Yeah, we we don't want to go 693 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: too far on this, but Harry Carson has spoken on 694 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 1: that subject post post career and the kind of assimilating 695 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: yourself into regular, everyday life and how difficult it was 696 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 1: for Harry to do that. Well, you know what, Lennon, 697 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: As always, buddy, thanks for the call. We'll look forward 698 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: to talk to you next time. I think, you know, 699 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: you kind of said a lading. I think that's with 700 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: all sports. You know, not everybody, but I think a 701 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: lot of people. And we've seen these stories in all sports, football, baseball, hockey, basketball, whatever. Boxing. 702 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 1: You're you're in the spotlight. You've been playing the sport 703 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 1: that you love for years, and now all of a sudden, 704 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what to do it myself. You know, 705 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 1: I'm not being a shrink here. Okay, I'm not being 706 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: a shrink here, Lance, but you know this whole business 707 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: and I'm not pooh pooing ct E at all. It 708 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: is a very real existence but I think also what 709 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: compounds the CTE is when a guy leaves the game 710 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: and he's got nothing else to do. You know, it 711 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: could have been a Mike Webster, it could have been 712 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: a junior sale, like where do I go? I've been, 713 00:37:56,239 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: I've been this godlike figure and now I'm um in 714 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm nothing they would define by being football players. 715 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: It's in all sports, though we've seen it many many 716 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: times in all sports, so it's it's not just that. 717 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: Well what Lenn brought up, I think it was a 718 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: good term that he utilized when Harry Carson was referring 719 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: to assimilating back at the society. Because when you're painting 720 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: russ is when you're an athlete, you're on a specific routine. 721 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: You go to practice every day, you eat lunch at 722 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,920 Speaker 1: the same time, you're with your teammates, meetings, everything is structured. 723 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: So when you remove yourself from that structure, now you 724 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: have to find a way to build structure into your 725 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: life without a team oriented you know, feel around you. 726 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest challenge in terms of 727 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: do you find another activity that gives you that structure? 728 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: Do you invest in a business that gives you that structure. 729 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,359 Speaker 1: I think most athletes they always struggle to determine what's 730 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: the next step. But it's not just what's the next step, 731 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: what's something that's going to provide me enough so that 732 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: I can have the outlet to put that fire in 733 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: the right spot with very good point. And that's again, 734 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, Lenn touched on that, but you know, it 735 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: is that assimilation, and it's a problem. It's a problem 736 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: for a lot of guys. Two oh one, nine four 737 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: or five one three is the number of phone lines 738 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: are open. I I think it's kind of what a 739 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: difference like, like just forget the players, you and me 740 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: and the fans. I mean, we're talking about positivity instead 741 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: of negativity today. Well it's been a while since we've 742 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: come on this program after a game and talked about 743 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: a win, so it's certainly refreshing from that perspective. But 744 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: to me, like I said, we've been going back and 745 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: forth every single week and people at nauseum are debating 746 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: whether or not a simple quarterback change is going to 747 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 1: solve everything. And you know, my biggest takeaway from last 748 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: night's game is that Eli still has something in the 749 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: tank and I don't think that we needed to see 750 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: this game to prove it. But I do think that, 751 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: you know, it was somewhat of a statement game for 752 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: line Manning personally to say, hey, when I have time, 753 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: when this offense executes, I could still be productive. Now 754 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: is that mean that it's gonna be like this every 755 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: single game for the final seven contest. I'm not gonna 756 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: necessarily go that far, because there's going to be I think, 757 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: an upgrade in terms of the level of competition that 758 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna see outside the Niners. But what 759 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,359 Speaker 1: I think people need to understand is an offense operates 760 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 1: smoothly when all of the pieces are clicking, and when 761 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: you take one piece out of the equation that's not 762 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: on the same page, you're gonna get the results you 763 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: saw on the first d eight games of the season. 764 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: Russ last night, you had the offensive line do its job. 765 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: Eli was efficient in terms of his decision making, and 766 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, the running game provided enough semblance that it 767 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 1: kept the Niners defense on its toes, so you had 768 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: really all three facets clicking, and that's a big reason 769 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: why they made the necessary plays and just enough to 770 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: win the game. So that to me is something that 771 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: you want to see moving forward, and you want to 772 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 1: see whether or not this was a flash or this 773 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: is perhaps the sign of what's yet to come. By 774 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: the way, did you see first person who greeted Eli 775 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: when he came off the field after winning Sterling? Shepherd? 776 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: Is that referring to I know Eli went over to Sterling, 777 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,680 Speaker 1: so that must have been something happened before. I'm talking 778 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: about his head coach, Pastor Sherman, went up to him, 779 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: gave him a hug, and you can tell he was 780 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: very happy for Eli Manning. Because you know what, folks, 781 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: I said this last week, it was a false narrative. Okay, Yes, 782 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: Coach Sherman spoke to Eli Manning, as he told us, 783 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: had quite a few conversations with Eli Manning. The It 784 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: was never if you don't beat the Niners on Monday night, 785 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: you're not playing, You're losing your job. That was never 786 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: the conversation. The conversation was we gotta win some games. 787 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: And I'm sure to read as as the coach told 788 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: the media, you can roll with it anyway you want, 789 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 1: so naturally, how did everybody roll with it? Four quarters? 790 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: Four quarters left? Uh do or die? It was not that, 791 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:14,439 Speaker 1: trust me, had Elis have they lost last night's game, 792 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: it would have been heartbreaking. The way Eli played last night, 793 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't going any place. It was just a false narrative. 794 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, I don't normally do this, but 795 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it now. Did you obviously you watched 796 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 1: the game last night? I would hope, so consider I 797 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: have to talk about it. The fans watched the game 798 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: last night? What the hell was Booker mcfallen talking about? Okay, Well, 799 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: I did not listen to the broadcast, so that I 800 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: can't necessarily provide inside on because I was listening to 801 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: the radio broadcast and watching it. Well, you want to 802 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: know what it was. I always watch, you know, I watched. 803 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: I listened to what I'm watching, Okay, because it just 804 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 1: to me a coincides better. Last night was the first 805 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: time I actually thought about not doing that. I almost 806 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: got up to go. In fact, if the radio was 807 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: in the same rule, I would have done that. I mean, 808 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 1: they some of these guys go on and you know, 809 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: they base their opinion on what they read in a 810 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: local paper or what's on the local uh calling shows 811 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: or something. But Booker McFarlane went on add nauseum about 812 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 1: Eli and then questioning that Eli is is Eli a 813 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer? I don't think he's a Hall 814 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 1: of famer? And and and to his credit, Jason Witten said, 815 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: WHOA slowed down in my mind? He I mean, you 816 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 1: know he's sitting up there in that Kakamami contraption. What 817 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: about the hell it is? I mean, like a cherry 818 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: picker or something. I don't know what the hell he's doing. 819 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,319 Speaker 1: But do me a favor. Shut up, because you know 820 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: it was stupid. You came on with an agenda and 821 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: the I mean, he was going on about Dave Gettleman. Listen, 822 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: it's easy to pile on. Okay, I'll tell you something, 823 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: Booger Eli is gonna get an induction into the Hall 824 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: of Fame. The only way you're going is if you 825 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: buy a ticket. Rest assured on that, all right, That's 826 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,439 Speaker 1: the only way. Two oh one four or five one 827 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: three is the number. It really annoyed me because because 828 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: it was an agenda. Well listen, it wasn't a discussion. 829 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't let me make a point, it was an agenda. 830 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 1: And you know what I noticed all the time, It's 831 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: not just wasn't just last night I see it with 832 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 1: other shows, you know, the other Monday night games. It's 833 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: an agenda. Do your job and also don't get paid 834 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,280 Speaker 1: by the word for well, I have no problem. Everyone's 835 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: a title to their opinion when it comes to debating. 836 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: It's a guy a Hall of Famer, So I'm not 837 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: gonna get on a guy it wasn't. That wasn't the 838 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: place that was, and that's fine. But what I heard, 839 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: and I don't want to say this because I don't 840 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: know for a fact, but I was reading some commentary 841 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,400 Speaker 1: and I believe some of the opinions that he was 842 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: laying out as to why he thought Eli man it 843 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a Hall of Famer, was based on non factual information. 844 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: That's where I'd have an issue. Now, I didn't hear it, 845 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 1: so I'm a little hesitant in throwing it out there. 846 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 1: You gotta go back and listen to the broadcast. But 847 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 1: that's what somebody had made a claim, and I don't 848 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: have enough. I'm just thrown it out there. If you 849 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: if you're giving an opinion and there's no factual evidence 850 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,799 Speaker 1: behind that, or you're giving facts such as you know, 851 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: Eli's postseason record outside of the Super Bowl runs or 852 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You know, that's when I think 853 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: you have to know your role because then you're providing 854 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: misinformation to the audience. So that was something that I 855 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: had heard was being thrown out. Well, he said Eli 856 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,359 Speaker 1: never made the playoffs outside. Yeah, that's what I read. 857 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: I know whether or not it was truthful. So so 858 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: that's factually wrong. But but but also the way Jason 859 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: Whitney explained it, not only did he win two super Bowls, 860 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: but who did he beat into Super Bowls? And one 861 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:55,240 Speaker 1: was the team that nobody could beat New England Patriots 862 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. It was just like it was too 863 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,280 Speaker 1: much of an agenda. You're supposed to do your job. 864 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: You guys are analyzing the game. It was like, let 865 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: me pile on, let me drop all this garbage on 866 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: Eli any which way I can. If you wanted to 867 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,840 Speaker 1: talk and he from the get go, if you wanted 868 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: to talk about okay, um, maybe Eli's done. Whether you 869 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 1: or I agree, he as you say, he's entitled to 870 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 1: his opinion. But the way it was just again, it 871 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: was just too much of an agenda. I didn't go 872 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: for it, and you know, I'm I just wanted to 873 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,359 Speaker 1: get to get that off my chest because I really 874 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: thought it was way over the top, just way way 875 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 1: over top. And as I say, he's sitting there like 876 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 1: I was open, I was waiting for the wind, a 877 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: big gust of wind, to come by and knock him 878 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: on his key. Still, well, Russ, if there was any 879 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: lesson to take away from your experience viewing the game, 880 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,800 Speaker 1: I suggest future you make sure you put the radio 881 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: on and you get the TV going in that right room. 882 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: And that's the end. And I miss the questions note A, Bates, nothing, 883 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: I missed some of the point, a little insulted that 884 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: you turned the radio on, to be honest with you, Okay, 885 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: well come on, And in fairness I should have because 886 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: I missed some of the stuff Booger was saying because 887 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 1: I was too many, too busy dropping f bombs at 888 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 1: him when I was, but but really it was far 889 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: too many people, folks. We all are entitled to opinions. 890 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: I certainly have mine, as you folks well know, Lance 891 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: has is you have yours. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, 892 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: but when it is constantly an agenda, when it is 893 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: constantly an agenda, then it becomes enough is enough? And 894 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,879 Speaker 1: I thought that was a ridiculous agenda. It was like 895 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 1: Eli this, Eli At. I mean, we know about it, well, 896 00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, and as you said, there's plenty, there's there's 897 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: plenty left in Eli's tank well, and on that subject, 898 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: and I want to make this very clear, there's a 899 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of people on social media that have been critical 900 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 1: of Eli Manning and has he played x s in 901 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: football this season? No? Has there been highs, have there 902 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,720 Speaker 1: been lows? Yes? But for those individuals speaking of narratives, 903 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: Russ who have constantly criticized the line Manning in the 904 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 1: first half of the season, whether it be rightfully so 905 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: or not, whether it be opinion or not, if there's 906 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: factual information behind it, I have no issue with it. 907 00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 1: But after a game like last night, Russ, when he 908 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: actually comes through and he delivers in fairness as opposed 909 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 1: to proving that you don't have a narrative, you then 910 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: need to give him his due when he deserves his due, 911 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 1: because if he could criticize him when he struggles and 912 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: he's deservedly so, then at the same time you then 913 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 1: have to admit, you know what, he actually played a 914 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 1: pretty solid game, Lassness. Well, I mean that's the point. 915 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: The point is he Eli is not entitled to make 916 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: a mistake because every time he makes a mistake, like 917 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 1: for example, the past that that where he underthrew oh 918 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: the arms strength, you know, it was just we know 919 00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: he underthrow him. It happens. Well, it's the same thing. 920 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 1: I didn't meant to cut you off for us. But 921 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Mrs Thros, Matt Ryan, mrs throws, Philip Rivers 922 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,640 Speaker 1: Mrs throws, Amaron Rochers mrs those you want to go 923 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: to every other quarterback. Yeah, but when you have an agenda, well, 924 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,760 Speaker 1: of course everything is exactly. Everything is put into the microscope. 925 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: Ten times two five one three is the number. Let's 926 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,439 Speaker 1: go down to South Carolina and check in with Steve. Steve, 927 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: how are you doing today, my friend? You're on with 928 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 1: Russ and Lance a fine Ross. Thank you, thank you, 929 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,399 Speaker 1: and Lance good good talking to you. By the way, 930 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: just to let you know, my first Giant game was 931 00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys in two very okay, Tom Landry's 932 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: and mel renfro right on that team. Oh yes, And 933 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: also but also then that was why a title and 934 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: Bell's shop, yes, sir, yes, sir. So it goes back 935 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 1: there and I do appreciate great Jake, and then I 936 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: was the season ticket holder before I've moved around the 937 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: country on that one, Okay, what I wanted to do, Russ, 938 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: I wanted to agree with you on Booger, but I'm 939 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 1: actually gonna take it up step further on that one. 940 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: That was an agenda of the e FPN producer last night. 941 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: It was clearly contrived. Okay, you're that's that's that's a 942 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 1: fair point. Yeah no, and I'm not even really I'm 943 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: Mackie Green. How Booker said everything and they think he 944 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 1: did go on extra steps, but I was I felt 945 00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: the exact same way that you did last night. That 946 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: was the biggest bunch of bs that was going on 947 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 1: on that case. Yep, No, thank you for the call, Steve. 948 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 1: I listen, I couldn't agree with you more. You know, look, 949 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 1: it is not I'm not saying it is just Booker, 950 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: it's it's the whole the whole agenda by by the 951 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,360 Speaker 1: crew away it was produced, but it was okay, let's 952 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,879 Speaker 1: let's jump on Eli's s let's let's do this. This 953 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,439 Speaker 1: is and you know what, they were probably p old 954 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,239 Speaker 1: that they won the game, because had they lost the 955 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: game or Eli had had he sucked, it would have 956 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,480 Speaker 1: been more convenient to them because then it would have 957 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: enhanced their agenda. Dave in Hackettsack, Dave, you're on with 958 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: Russ and Lance. How are we doing today, Dave, I 959 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: just want to make two quick points. Ross. I totally 960 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,319 Speaker 1: agree with you.

I 965 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: watched Harry Carson. He was an animal on the field. 966 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: I watched him today. This guy is just a pleasure 967 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: to listen to him talk football.

And 990 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: Keith would you know in a discussion, well, why, well 991 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm depressed, And Keith would say, sure you are. You 992 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: just left the game that you played for your entire life. 993 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,319 Speaker 1: Since you're a kid, you don't know what to do 994 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: with yourself. You know, those are kind of the factors. 995 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: But in answer to your question, Dave, yes, uh, there is. 996 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 1: You know, it is made available to the guys. It 997 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 1: is made available. Now. You can't babysit everybody either, you know. 998 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: It's the same thing. You can't tell everybody. You can 999 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 1: tell them to they're blue in a face to save 1000 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 1: their money. You can tell them that you don't need 1001 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 1: five homes and twenty cars, you know, but that doesn't 1002 00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,279 Speaker 1: always work. Ernie in North Plainfield, Ernie, you're on with 1003 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 1: Russ and Lance. How are we doing and joining your show? 1004 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: Thank you? Um, it's nice to talk to somebody after 1005 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,279 Speaker 1: Giants have a win. It's nice for us to talk 1006 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,280 Speaker 1: to somebody after the Giants have a win. Much better anyway. 1007 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,320 Speaker 1: What's always been bugging me the whole season is that, obviously, 1008 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: probably the biggest weakness Giants have is their offensive line. 1009 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: Why was it such a rushed to unload Flucker Brett Jones. Uh, 1010 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, they they didn't cost a lot of money, 1011 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,719 Speaker 1: and they were you know, they weren't great players, but 1012 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,400 Speaker 1: there were certainly adequate players. And uh, that's one question, 1013 00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,359 Speaker 1: and just a fast second is, uh, what are their 1014 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 1: options as far as getting linebackers? Uh to covering space 1015 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,360 Speaker 1: because obviously Ogal Tree and Goodson can't do it. Well, 1016 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: I'll let me let me go with the first part. 1017 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:26,960 Speaker 1: I'll let you go with the second part. You know, 1018 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,799 Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Dave, and answer my friend. On 1019 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 1: the first part. They made the decision. It wasn't that 1020 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: they didn't want or they didn't like Brett Jones. We 1021 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: said this. It was Halapio Halapio however you want to 1022 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 1: call him. They liked him. Everything got screwed up when 1023 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 1: he went down and needed surgeries, season ending surgery, so 1024 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 1: that screwed that up. As far as the Fluker thing, 1025 00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was a question 1026 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: of money. Well, Flucker signed with Seattle. Ultimately, he also 1027 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 1: followed former Giants offensive line coach Mike Solari, which I'm 1028 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: sure was a factor. But here's how you have to 1029 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 1: look at it. Dave Gettleman is a brand new general manager. 1030 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,440 Speaker 1: He comes in, he evaluates the roster. He did not 1031 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 1: bring in d J. Fluker. So Gettleman's opinion of d J. 1032 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:25,000 Speaker 1: Flucker could be very different than Jerry Reese and the 1033 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 1: previous regime's opinion. You have to understand he's got an 1034 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: unbiased perspective on all these players because he's not no 1035 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 1: ties to them. Now, Flucker is having a solid season 1036 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,080 Speaker 1: with Seattle. I understand the Kohler's point, but Jamon Brown, 1037 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 1: I think, is a guy that has the physique of 1038 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,040 Speaker 1: d J. Fluker and perhaps could be a guy that 1039 00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,040 Speaker 1: can solidify that right guard spot. So they may have 1040 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: found a DJ fluker s type of player with respect 1041 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,120 Speaker 1: to that, with respect to Bret Jones, when an offer 1042 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,800 Speaker 1: comes to the table and Dave Gettleman is saying to himself, 1043 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,440 Speaker 1: I want to collect more draft pick because I want 1044 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 1: to bring in the type of guys that I see 1045 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,319 Speaker 1: fit to build this roster, I think that was part 1046 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 1: of the rationale. As Russ mentioned, I don't think it 1047 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 1: was a reflection if they didn't have faith in Brett Jones. 1048 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,240 Speaker 1: It was the Vikings were in need of a center 1049 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,319 Speaker 1: because Pat lf Line, their starter, was hurt. At the 1050 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,560 Speaker 1: time they come to the Giants, they make an offer 1051 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,439 Speaker 1: and Dave Gettleman saying, hey, you know, we've traded away 1052 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 1: some draft picks. I need to bring in volumes so 1053 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,800 Speaker 1: that I could build this roster up. And it was 1054 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,279 Speaker 1: an opportunity like that. So you know, there's a lot 1055 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 1: of reasons why guys are moved, and sometimes it's salary 1056 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,600 Speaker 1: cap decision making. Sometimes it's because you want extra draft 1057 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,439 Speaker 1: picks and so forth. But you know, the offensive line 1058 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,799 Speaker 1: remember last year which had both of those guys in 1059 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: it that we just talked about. Russ had issues a past, 1060 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: protection had issues and run blocking. Let's not make it 1061 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,600 Speaker 1: sound like the offensive line last year was the juggernaut 1062 00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,920 Speaker 1: of the NFL. And why did they let those guys go? 1063 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 1: There's a reason why they needed to make changes because 1064 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,720 Speaker 1: there were issues. Now, the changes to start the season 1065 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 1: didn't work out all well, and that's why the Giants 1066 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,279 Speaker 1: started the part ways with the entire rightside of the 1067 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,839 Speaker 1: offensive line. More of a reason why gettlemen needed more 1068 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,320 Speaker 1: draft picks and allery cap flexibility to pursue the players 1069 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: he wants this offseason. And they also quite frankly, did 1070 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,239 Speaker 1: Brett Jones a little bit, not a little bit. They 1071 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: did him a favorite. Well, they gave him an opportunity 1072 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 1: to start. They gave him an opportunity to start, and 1073 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 1: they gave him an opportunity to start on a good team. Absolutely, 1074 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,360 Speaker 1: and because he's from Western Canada and moved him close 1075 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: at the home as right, So I mean you could 1076 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: look at it. There was a win win aspect from 1077 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: both sides. Of things now. The second question was the 1078 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: linebackers situation and how the Giants seemed to have some 1079 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 1: trouble and coverage, And I think that's a very fair 1080 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,560 Speaker 1: point by the last caller, Ogletree. Yesterday, I thought B J. 1081 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 1: Goodson actually played a really good game because Goodson had 1082 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 1: two interceptions and both of those were within coverage, and 1083 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 1: I thought he did a nice job coming into the 1084 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,480 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and helping stop the run. So as 1085 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,280 Speaker 1: far as you know, who else could they turn to, 1086 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,080 Speaker 1: which was the question, You don't have a great deal 1087 00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,320 Speaker 1: of depth with respect to that because most of the 1088 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: other linebackers are really edge rushers. Karie Martin, Lorenzo Carter 1089 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 1: are known getting after the football, getting after the quarterback. 1090 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon, you don't necessarily want to play him back 1091 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,920 Speaker 1: in coverage. Nate Stupor, who's been getting some snaps and 1092 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: playing time at linebacker, but you know, he's more of 1093 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 1: a guy that also can assist in stopping the run. 1094 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,160 Speaker 1: And Ta Davis is a relatively young linebacker as I 1095 00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: look at the personnel. So to answer your question, yeah, 1096 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 1: that's certainly an area that they're going to continue to experiment. 1097 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: But b J Goodson is a player now given some 1098 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: of the injuries, who I think could start to come 1099 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,919 Speaker 1: into his own. The thing with b J Goodson Russ 1100 00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: is he just couldn't stay healthy. Well yeah, So if 1101 00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,280 Speaker 1: b J could stay on the field, could stay at 1102 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 1: a harm's way and can get more snaps and get 1103 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 1: more reps, it's a possibility that his versatility can start 1104 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: the show. Because there's definitely potential there with b J Goodson, 1105 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,160 Speaker 1: and he flashed yesterday, but like anything else, can he 1106 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: build upon that? That's been the looming question connected to him. 1107 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: And you listen as as we were talking about everybody 1108 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,920 Speaker 1: on the team has to feel better because of you know, 1109 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 1: you get some confidence. We were talking about Ingram. I'm 1110 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: sure b J Goodson sitting home on that plane waking 1111 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: up this morning with you know, a football in each 1112 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: pocket because he intercepted, he passes. He's feeling good. And 1113 00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 1: you know, I don't care how long you're playing in 1114 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 1: this league. Confidence can wayne Winning builds confidence and losing 1115 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,680 Speaker 1: takes it in the opposite direction.
