Speaker 1: and win against the Bears. They have now won three

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: of the last four games. Pretty good, Jeff. A quarter

8
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: of the season to go. The Giants stand at four

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: and eight, three and one and quarter number three and

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: the quarter number four. Your feel for kind of where

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: this team is right now and where they're headed, Well,

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: I think that we talked about all the time with

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: the quarters. You know, everybody coaches like the coaches like

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: to do things in quarters. So you come out of

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: that buy and you had a really successful If you

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: can go three and one in this next quarter, I

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: think things will be real well. And so you know

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: the answer to your question is, I think that the

19
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: confidence is very high on this team. I think this

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: team believes that they now can go in and win games,

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: where at the beginning of the the season, I'm not so sure. Um,

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: from an outsider standpoint, that that was that was the

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 1: truth Um, you always have it in the cocker room

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: where you think you can win a game, but it

25
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: realistically can you. I don't know, um, but I think

26
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: that you know, going down to play this game this

27
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: week and starting that fourth quarter in the in the

28
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: final phase of the season, good chance to go down

29
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: there and get a victory against the Redskins. I don't

30
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: think this game will be any anything near what it

31
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: was the first time. Um. I think these are two

32
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: different teams completely when you think about how hurt the

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Redskins are and how much better the Giants are, So

34
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: that would be good. But I think I think the

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I think the state of the team is is good.

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of positive things coming out of

37
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: the locker room and really going to show you that

38
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: that team stuck together, played a lot of complimentary football

39
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: last week when it came to the overtime and to

40
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: win that Bears game, And you kind of want to

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: have one of those games every year that you come

42
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: out of it thinking to yourself, Hey, we took an

43
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: into overtime, Um, we came, we overcame some obstacles, and

44
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: we persevered and got the win at home, which is

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: always a good thing. Yeah. No, question about it, um,

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: and I want to get into a question I got

47
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: one our fans on Twitter a little bit later on.

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: But let's talk about this game specifically. First, it is

49
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: a Friday before of the game, we should do a

50
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a preview here, and I guess we'll

51
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: start with where you did with the Redskins, and that's

52
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: where all their injuries are, which is on the offensive

53
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: side of the ball. They now I think of five

54
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: guards reserve. Um there, Jonathan Cooper, who was one of

55
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the backups got hurt. Now Tony Bergstrom who stepped in

56
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: for him as hurt. The other kid that stepped in

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: the other guard position, Oh boy, I remember um, he's

58
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: on the injury report this week. To They already lost

59
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: their two starters at the beginning of the year, Brandon Sheriff,

60
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: the All Pro being one of them. So they are

61
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: a mess inside. They still Trent Williams and Morgan Moses outside,

62
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: which helps. But this has really affected Adrian Peterson's ability

63
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: to run the ball. The last four weeks. He's hasn't

64
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: gotten more than seven the yards in the game until

65
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: last week when he had that one nine yard run.

66
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: Otherwise I think he was like eight rushes for nine

67
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: yards in the game, So that interior their offensive line

68
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: has really, I think, jeopardized how they want to play,

69
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: which is run the ball first and one of the

70
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: highest percentage of runs on first down teams in the league. Um,

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: if you can't block inside, Jeff, it's hard to do that. Well,

72
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I got your right, But I still think that you're

73
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: that's still gonna be there. Their um, their formula this

74
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: week is just they still have to try to run

75
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the football. They got Adrian Peterson, um, and then of

76
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: course you've got Sanchez. So I don't know what's going

77
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: on with this microphone today. You keep going over it

78
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: like that's not moving, not moving at all, into my mouth,

79
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: back and forward. But you're right if you can't, if

80
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: you can't block up front, and you can't run the football,

81
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: and I think, but I do believe that they will

82
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: try to go there, and then of course you can

83
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: have to put the ball in. Mark Sanchez is home

84
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: in hands. But listen, Mark Sanchez is a serviceable quarterback.

85
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: He's not a you know, yes, he's a journeyman. He

86
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: hasn't played in basically three years, started a football game.

87
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: But I think that the Giant. The Giants can can

88
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: win this game if they can stop the running game

89
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: and then force Mark Sanchez into making some mistakes. You

90
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: know he's gonna you know, he's gonna throw throw you

91
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: an interception or run to somebody's backside and drop the ball. Maybe.

92
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: But she's been asked about this week. I'm sure he

93
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: has been um and that. And that's the thing. Look

94
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: like you said, Mark Sanchez isn't some Joe Schmo. He

95
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: he knows how to play football, but his track record

96
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: has his track record right, So he's been out of

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: football for three years. I mean not out of football,

98
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played. Just goes to show you that

99
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: there's still you know, if he goes out there and

100
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: you make him beat you, and he beats you, you

101
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: take a long look at your defense and then you

102
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: tip your cap and you say, good for you. But

103
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: you're right, Jeff. And for a Giants defense that has

104
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: struggled to stop to run the last three or four weeks.

105
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: And I think it's the loss of snacks affects this

106
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: group because Dalvin Tomlinson's good, but he doesn't have snacks

107
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: with him in there. V J. Hill is good, but

108
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: he doesn't have snacks with him in there, so it

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: does make a difference. I still understand the trade why

110
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: they made it. Um it's more of a financial future

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: thing than it was a current, you know, season, try

112
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: to win type of thing, So I get it. But

113
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: stopping the run of this game as paramoun. If they

114
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: do that and as long as it's team doesn't just completely,

115
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, throuple themselves in this

116
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: game and turn it over three or four times, special

117
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: teams touchdowns. Let the Redskins get a defensive touchdown, you know,

118
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: just breakdowns on defense where guys are running free and

119
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: nobody's near him. You know, the Giants should win this

120
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: football they if they play disciplined football and they on

121
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: defense can continue to get turnovers because you know, the

122
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: theme here is when the Giants defense gets turnovers, they

123
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: win their games period, and the Giants protect the ball.

124
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Those two things intent, yep. And if those if and

125
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I think that if the Giants defense can do that

126
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: and the offense can just be disciplined and run the

127
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: football and not try to do crazy things, they not

128
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: turn it over, they'll win this game. They really will.

129
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: And they get back they get their fifth game of

130
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: the season, and this will be a whole season of

131
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: looking back saying what if, what if the Giants had

132
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: won that Eagles game? What if? What if? What if?

133
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: But the fact is, I think that you ask me

134
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: this earlier. I think the state of this team is

135
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: going up and I think it's good. And I want

136
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: to get to the in the question I got from

137
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: our fan on Twitter and I saw it was I

138
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: told him it was just too plux of a question

139
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: me to address in a tweet, and I will talk

140
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: about on the show. So I'll get to that in

141
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: a second. Um, And basically the question was what's the

142
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: difference with the Giants between the first half of the

143
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: season and the second half? And we'll get to that,

144
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: and I think there's a lot of factors involved in that. Actually,

145
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: just talked to Eli for the pregame show on the radio.

146
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: I did like a third team minute interview. I gotta

147
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: cut that thing in half on the edit, so yeah, yeah,

148
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. Um, I gotta do that after the show.

149
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: But we had a long, in depth conversation about the offense,

150
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: and I'll reveal some of the stuff he talked about. UM,

151
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: when we answer that question. But the Redskins defense is

152
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: still good, Jeff, and I think their ranked ninth in

153
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: total defense. A lot of that is because they're twenty

154
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: seven seven against the pass. UH, They're one of the

155
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: few teams in the league. I still play a ton

156
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: of man to man defense. They try to bring pressure

157
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: against the quarterback. The Giants never have teams play man

158
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: to man against And we'll see if the Redskins doing

159
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: this game against the Giants. Myriad of weapons does look

160
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: like Starling Shepard and Evan Ingram are both gonna be playing.

161
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Neither one of those guys on the injury report. By

162
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: the way, only B J. Goodson and T. Davis on

163
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the report they're questionable. Everybody else is fine. They'll be

164
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: good to go. This front is really good. Zach Brown's

165
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 1: a good linebacker, Mason Foster's a quality linebacker, Ryan Kerrigan,

166
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: Preston Smith, Matt ionitas Uh, Jonathan Allen and Ron Payne,

167
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: the two Alabama guys. They sact the line manning seven

168
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: times in that first game between the Giants and the Reticans.

169
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: So John's are a better team now. They're a different

170
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: team up front, but that front can change the way

171
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: you play and you said it. You gotta run the

172
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: football on early downs or this could be a real

173
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: long day for the Giants offense. It is there. There

174
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: are a third on their twenty nine in the league

175
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: on third down. So if you can get into some

176
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: manageable third downs on some productivity on first and second down,

177
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: then you got a chance. But that front four, uh,

178
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: they are stout against the run. But sure, you know what,

179
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the Giants have been able to run the football better

180
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: and better each week, and they still have to do

181
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: it because when you get those short third down and

182
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: you're able to convert them and take time and possession,

183
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: go down there, it's for the football. You got a

184
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: chance to win. I got a stat for you, jeff

185
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: about all right, give me here's a good one. Okay.

186
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: The Redskins defense on third down. You just mentioned it right,

187
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: on third downs of fewer than four yards, so third

188
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: and short, the Redskins are the worst third down defense

189
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: in football, allowing opposing teams to convert two the time.

190
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: So if you can succeed on first and second down

191
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: and get in that third and manageable third and short,

192
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna move the ball on this team. And the

193
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: reason the Redskins defense is eighthan scoring but nineteen in

194
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: yardage is twofold one red zone their ninth in the

195
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: league in red zone defense. I think they're the second.

196
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: One is the bigger one. And this goes back to

197
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: what the Bears did last week. The Redskins have twenty

198
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: two takeaways, fourth best in the league. Only three teams

199
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: are better their plus nine this year. Okay, well you

200
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: got the Bears. So they're really really good at taking

201
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: the ball away and stopping teams from scoring in the

202
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: red zone. They've also only allowed one run one run

203
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: of twenty more yards this year. That's really really good.

204
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: So those things together is how the Redskins can win

205
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: this game. It's with their defense. A lot of pressure

206
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be on this Giant's offensive line. Is the

207
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Redskins do want a pressure, They'll bring extra guys to

208
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: they will blitz and play man behind that blitz. And

209
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: that's how the Redskins beat the Giants if they can

210
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: just dominate upfront. The Giants offensive line has been good

211
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: enough where they haven't let that happen the last few weeks.

212
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: They've let the offense function. We'll see if that can

213
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: happen on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, I mean, you look at

214
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: the last two teams the Giants have played. They've had

215
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: pretty good front four and Devens front seven. You get

216
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Bears. So you know, they've been

217
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: tested the last two weeks and now they're gonna go

218
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: down to Washington and play a team that's very good

219
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: upfront um and shouldn't be able to have some success

220
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: if they do it in the right areas. And then

221
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: we mentioned those areas they are they are good in

222
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: the red zone, but you know what, the Giants are

223
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: pretty good in the red zone offensively, So that's a

224
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: good matchup to watch. I only do some calls real quick. Jeff,

225
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: You're all right, And I'll get to the colors of

226
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: the Twitter's question a little bit later, but for now,

227
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. At two, five, one three,

228
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Big Book is presented by Coors Light. Download the Coors

229
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Light Rewards. After an amazing Giants prizes throughout the season,

230
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Maurice and Montclair. Maurice, what's our buddy? Hey,

231
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: what's going on in gentlemen? How are you doing very good?

232
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, man? Have it calls them in a while.

233
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to like kind of give my thoughts

234
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: on like the season as I see it going short,

235
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: and you got touched on a lot of great points.

236
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: But um, I think this team is really like heading

237
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I know everybody's been talking about that,

238
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: but I think all good teams have an identity, right

239
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: and I think with some of the like Hallmark Stable

240
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: guys that we have offensively, I think, really, you know,

241
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: you're starting to see like it's gonna be a barklay show,

242
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: no disrespect to back them because you need playmakers on

243
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: the outside. We all know that. But I think that

244
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: the Giants moving forward are they're creating that identity for

245
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: themselves that teams know, you know, they d the Giants

246
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: are coming to run the ball. I think when the

247
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Giants has been at their best in the past, we've

248
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: been able to do that, to flip to flip gears.

249
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: And this is something that I'm sure Jeff uh can't appreciate.

250
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: The guy that the punter was named Dixon. He's been

251
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: he's been a surprise. He's been a pleasant one too,

252
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: because when the Giants first announced that, you know, with

253
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: the brad Win situation and nobody knew who this kid was.

254
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: I didn't know who he was, but I think he's been,

255
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: um a pleasant surprise. He shouldn't be UM pretty uh like,

256
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, hard to keep you know, rolling over the

257
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: next year. So I think you know, the special team

258
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: has been playing well defensively, you know, it's it's hard.

259
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: It's been hard for us to stop the running. You

260
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: got touched on that with the loss of snacking things

261
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: now with Collins being out. But I really see this game,

262
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, being a game where I feel like Eli

263
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be able to spread the ball out more

264
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of different guys are gonna have touches

265
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: and things of that nature. Um. And I just wanna

266
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: ask you guys if you guys know you probably could

267
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: look it up later or actually want the guys in

268
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: the back to check this out. It's bar If he

269
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: finishes a year with south fumbling, will he'd be the

270
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: only full time running back as far as in Giants

271
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: history to not put the ball on the ground in

272
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: the season. That's a good question. UM. NFL history is

273
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: certainly not there's other players that have done that. UM,

274
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Giant sister, I don't know. Let me let me see

275
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: if I could check that out, maybe we can get

276
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: eyes in to get me the answer on that. I'm

277
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: sure he's the guy that would have that. Right. You

278
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: would think, Yeah, that's that's pretty impressive statistic if it happens,

279
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, so, I would say, especially

280
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: someone giants have been around so long. Maybe And for

281
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Barkley Jeff who and moves in traffic,

282
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: spins turns, puts us back to the defense, he goes

283
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: in the air, he hurdles guys for him to not

284
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: have fumbled, and he hasn't fumbled in two thousand sixteen.

285
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: By the way, going back to his college career, he

286
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: didn't fumble as a junior Penn State either. Uh. It

287
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: really is amazing. So it I'm telling I've been watching it.

288
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: It's like I had to ask you guys, and I

289
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: just want to leave you guys with this. I would

290
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: like to leave you guys think about factor fiction will

291
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: O'Dell back. I'm at the end of the season, A

292
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: clips double digit touchdown? How many does he have now?

293
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go fiction on that. I appreciate

294
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: the call, Maurice, thanks a lot. I just think I

295
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: think the defenses they played the rest of the way

296
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: are actually pretty torn good this week. The Redskins are good.

297
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: The Titans have a very good defense, a good front,

298
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: and then the Cowboys have one of the top three

299
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: or four defenses in the whole league. So the Colts

300
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: struggle a little bit on that side. So I think

301
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: you could have a big game there, especially indoors in Indianapolis.

302
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: But otherwise you got I mean, you gotta get four

303
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: and you gotta get touched down the game here, and

304
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: you've got three pretty good defenses. It's possible. Look, you

305
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: never you never say, oh, they'll can't do it. It

306
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 1: could be close. I woant to play in the odds.

307
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go on through that one thing

308
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: you brought up, Maurice. And when you talk about the

309
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Giants special teams, you know, they were, if not the worst,

310
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: one of the worst special teams units in the National

311
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Football League last year. Um. One Alter you know didn't

312
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: have a good year. That Brad Wing was very erratic.

313
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: They got rid of him. They traded for Riley Dixon

314
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: from Denver, so they brought him in here. Um and

315
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: then you look at the coverage teams have been pretty good.

316
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: But more importantly, look at the return team. I mean,

317
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: you have not seen the production out of the kickoff

318
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: return team like this in a couple of years. And

319
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: their pump returns, you know, yeah they're not havn't had

320
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: one for a touchdown yet, but they're getting nine ten

321
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: eleven yards a return. That's one first down for the offense.

322
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: So that's a good that's a big thing. And and

323
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: I think really when you look at what Aldrick Rosas

324
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: has done this year, he has been a solid, solid

325
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: contributor to this team. I mean he has only missed

326
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: one field goal, it's been over fifty yards, so he's

327
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: basically perfect inside of fifty this year and done an

328
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: exceptional job. So that's something that when you're a one

329
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: in seven team at the first half of the season,

330
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: and even a team that's growing and building, your special

331
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: teams has to be good. And you look at the

332
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: like Michael Thomas, these guys that and and some of

333
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: the younger guys that have come in here and really

334
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: contributed to special teams. Those guys are gonna make a

335
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: mark for themselves and going up to next year or two,

336
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: big it's young young roster has to play well on

337
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: special teams because those guys that are still on the

338
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: bubble trying to make the team next year are showing

339
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: this organization they can they can play. It's go to

340
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy from rose Hill up in the bar. Jimmy's at Fordham.

341
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: What's up, Jimmy? Hey, guys, how are you. Let's do

00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: what I called earlier in the week. I'd like to

344
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: talk to you a little bit more about what I

345
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: think is gonna be a critical thing to watch on Sunday.

346
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: But I'm absolutely thrilled to be talking with talking with Jeff.

347

Speaker 1: So I get to you. John, just address a couple

348
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: of comments towards Jeff's way. If you don't mine, thank

349
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: you fine. Hey Jeff, I guess it was during the

350
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: summer something I don't when it was, but you had

351
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: Joel Rodriguez on the phone, one of your former Miami Hurricanes.

352
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: And I know you know him, but I got to

353
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: know Joel when he was up here at Fordham for

354
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: four years, and he's a He's a wonderful guy. Um,

355
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: I broke a lot of bread, if you know what

356
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean. Withdrawal. Uh, you know, during his tenure. Uh,

357
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: and I know down in Miami he's, Um, I guess

358
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: he's in some kind of a function where's he's into.

359
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: He's helping the transition to kids into pro but he's

360
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: not coaching. And Joel, I tell you that's the guy

361
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: that belongs, that belongs on a sideline somewhere instead of

362
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. But if you see him, tell

363
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: him the old lineman Jimmy had uh you know sett

364
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: he got me tickets to the Miami George Georgia Tech

365
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: game a number of years ago. He's just a great guy. Anyway, Um,

366
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: if you could do that, Jeff I, I'd appreciate it.

367
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: But here's my question for you. I must have watched

368
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: this replay like a hundred times, but um, and you've

369
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: probably answered this question a hundred times. But the snap

370
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: on the times kick in Green Bay? What what split second?

371
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: That's split second when that snap was a little high.

372
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, what went through you ahead, Uh, don't swear.

373
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: What was going through my head is just don't drop it,

374
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: you know, just catching and getting The last thing you

375
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: want to do is think about putting it down and

376
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: where the laces are and all that. It's just a

377
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: natural progression of how it works. And because we worked

378
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: together for so long, that's just something that just naturally occurs.

379
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: It's very it's very organic that goes through there. And

380
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: you know, when it was that cold, I was wearing gloves.

381
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: That was the one that I've told people this all

382
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: the times, the only game I ever worked gloves, And

383
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: that was what I was more worried about, was because

384
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: I was wearing Oh yeah, that was the first time. No, No,

385
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: I was, and I was more worried about the gloves.

386
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: And I was catching the ball, putting it down, things

387
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: like that. But did you envy point during the game

388
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: thing about taking the gloves off, No, because they were

389
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: actually they were working. Well, we're helping. They were helping. Yeah,

390
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: because it was that cold. Um, and I've and I've

391
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: been cold where my hands have been cold and catching

392
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: the footballs and it's not fun. It's like catching a brick.

393
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: So that actually the gloves take a little of the

394
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: sting off at that if you want to kind of

395
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: relate to it, that's kind of what helped Um. But yeah,

396
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: just you know the and I what that was just

397
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: I could see, I'm I'm there right now. I'm telling you, Jimmy,

398
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: I am there. It was amazing, and Jimmy real quick

399
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: and goose bumps. And since since you're a big fan,

400
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask Jeff this question for you. What did

401
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: your foot look like after that game? After the Mine

402
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: was fine, but you know I only kicked it five times,

403
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: six times a game. But times he bruised his foot.

404
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: If you remember, he bruised his foot and and um

405
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: think you know he had to he didn't practice the

406
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: following almost a whole week because of it. It was swollen, right,

407
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: like swollen, yeah, because that ball was like he was

408
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: like kicking a brick. Yeah, no kidding, yeah, yeah, all

409
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: these little things that you know, yeah, never get reported.

410
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what times he had confidence. We

411
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: were we were punting there. I was ready to go

412
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: out and we were, and he just ran onto the field.

413
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, what are you doing? If you remember

414
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: he had missed his two three, it's almost like yep,

415
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: if you know, if you had to get a little

416
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: bit bigger, that bull was coming back. I was listen

417
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: and his smoke is laughing because he said he wasn't

418
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: even close. They weren't close. They were all over the place.

419
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: That's why when he ran on the field, I was like, dude,

420
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: what are you doing? This is this is further than

421
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: the other two year miss dud. Remember his dad is

422
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: It's basically like a former Navy seal. So he's got

423
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: guts on him. Now, yeah he does know, he does

424
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: times he has always had absolutely absolutely, So well, thank

425
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: you for bringing us back there, and I appreciate the compliment.

426
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: I really still Jimmy and I've been the two super

427
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: Bowls in a bunch of crazy games. That is still

428
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: my favorite game that I've ever been at. And it's

429
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: not close. Yeah. Well, I mean I'm a little, not

430
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: just a little, I'm a lot older than the both

431
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: you and uh, I mean I was. I was the

432
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: very first super Bowl until the day I died. That

433
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: should be my favorite, the very even the very first

434
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: giant Jimmy hold on, Jimmy, real quick, Jimmy real quick,

435
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: real quick, real quick, Jimmy hold on one second, the

436
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: very first giant super Bowl or super Bowl one. But

437
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,239
Speaker 1: like the Packers, Oh no, no, no, no, no no no

438
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: no no no not okay, okay, I got to do ahead.

439
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, um, I was on with the guys

440
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: earlier in the weekend, and you hit on a joint.

441
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 1: I really think that. Um, what I'm going to focus

442
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: on on Sunday is just how this this new, revamped,

443
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: improved offensive line deals with that deals with that redskin defense.

444
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: We all know about their injuries. But as I told

445
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: the guys during the week and you know, and I

446
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: think this is what's going to come down to, that's

447
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: that front seven is just uh. I mean that that's

448
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna be that's gonna be a handful and to the

449
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: extent that we can that we can win that that

450
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: that just that little isolated battle there. Um, I think

451
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: that'll that'll go a long way towards determining the game.

452
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: And I'm cautiously optimistic that that the line has is

453
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: is just going to continue to progress. As Jeff said,

454
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: they've had two tough challenges the last two weeks, they

455
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: got another one. They've they've met them up until this point.

456
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Time to do it again on Sunday. So that's what

457
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to focus on. And so I agree wholeheartedly

458
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: with you guys, especially you John, about where it's going

459
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: to be one of loss or what we should be

460
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: one area to focus on anyway, if nothing else, Absolutely, Jimmy,

461
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: thanks for the call man, Thanks to appreciate good stuff.

462
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,479
Speaker 1: He's funny about you know, when you look at this

463
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: team and I was selling this to Paul earlier before

464
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: we came in here. You know, and by the way,

465
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: we have some open lines, folks, you want to get

466
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: in at there. There are a lot of times when

467
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: you players around the locker room, good and bad have

468
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: effects on the team that you they're kind of hard

469
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: to understand. And my point is that when you look

470
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: at this offensive line and Spencer Polly and Jamal Brown,

471
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: those two guys, you can kind of point to that

472
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: that was the that was the ingredient to get this

473
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: offense so going. And it's just amazing to me that

474
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: just something like that can happen and then you go

475
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: out and win three out of four games. Yeah, and

476
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: I think this this will be a good way to

477
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: start our conversation about what's kind of changed for this

478
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: team from the first half of the season to the

479
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: second half. And I think it does start there with

480
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: the town on the offensive line. No question ed, Brown,

481
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: he's been their best right guards. You're thrown out the

482
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: role year better than what Greco was better than one

483
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: mom A was. He's just because he's a better player.

484
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: He's playing, especially in the run game. And I think

485
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: Spencer Pulley has been fined in the running game too,

486
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: but I think it helps having a right guard next

487
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: to you. That's good. So the way the Giants are

488
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: playing now, they can only play this way be if

489
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: the offensive line blocks better in the running game. And

490
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: the ironic part of that is by the offensive line

491
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: blocking better in the running game and being able to

492
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: run more on first down, you know, be more of

493
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: a run team, play two tight ends, play a fullback

494
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: that allows them to protect the offensive line and pass

495
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: situations because you're not in third and long, you're not

496
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: spreading it out, you're not putting three or four wide

497
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: receivers out there. And so it's ironic that the improved

498
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: player of the offensive line in one area is allowing

499
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: you to protect them and help them in an area

500
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: where frankly, Jeff, when we've seen this line have to

501
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: go out there and protect in passing situations where you

502
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: have to, you know, drop your light back five steps

503
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: or seven steps and the other team knows what's coming.

504
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: In the Giants of passing forty five times a game,

505
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: it still doesn't go. Well, that's that that's not what

506
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: you want. But the way that they've been able to

507
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: change the way they get through their sequences of downs

508
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: in their series and their possessions, it makes everything work.

509
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: And to me, that's the difference, and it's a huge difference.

510
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: And what else makes it work is and it's the steps.

511
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: It's layers. So the stuff what you talked about also

512
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: brings into the conversation about being balanced, so you're able

513
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: to run the football on a balance to be able

514
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: to pass the football. And look at you said the

515
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: number they were dropping back forty five times a game

516
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: and running at seventeen. That is not balanced football. And

517
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line was not equipped to win that way.

518
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: In frankly, they're still not, which is why it's so

519
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: important for them to and play this way. And they're

520
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: doing it in part because they're changing their personnel and formations. Jeff,

521
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: you're seeing much less eleven, which for the fans out

522
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: there is one running back, one tight end, three wide receivers,

523
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: and more fullback with two wide receivers in a tight end,

524
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: which is twenty one personnel and more twelve personnel which

525
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: is one running back, two tight ends, two wide resus

526
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: and frankly Jeff. And in that final, uh second to

527
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: last drive of the fourth quarter, or maybe it was

528
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: the last drive of the fourth quarter against the Bears,

529
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: we saw a bunch of twenty two personnel where two

530
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: tight ends and a fullbackward. In the game, they ran

531
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: play action off of that, So you're seeing that big

532
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: personnel more running play action off of that running the football.

533
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: And when I talked to Eli Manning Toady, I asked him, Eli,

534
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: why does it help to have the bigger people in

535
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: But it seems counterintuitive. You know, you're taking your planemarkers

536
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: off the field. How does that help you? And he

537
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of explained that that it simplifies what other what

538
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: the defense can do to you. They can't do exotic stuff.

539
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: You know what they're going to do based on where

540
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: they're positioned. They can't try and trick you that way.

541
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: It kind of makes everything a little easier and a

542
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: little simpler. And for a team that is so much

543
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: turned over roster uh roster wise construction, they've only sixteen

544
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: guys from last year. It's just a formula that's working

545
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: before the year. Every call we got in the offseason. Jeff,

546
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: what was it? It was, look at all these weapons.

547
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you can spread out Beckham and Barkley

548
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: and Shepperd and Ingram. Looked at all these guys. You're

549
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball all over the field. It's great,

550
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: and this team plays their best when you have Read

551
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: Ellison and Scott Simonson in the game with Elijah Penny.

552
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it sounds insane, but that's the way

553
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: this team has to win. It's nuts, so, but it's true.

554
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: Just look at the first half second against the Bears.

555
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: They were twenty drop backs in the first half and

556
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: seven runs. They couldn't do anything. In the second half

557
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: they were twenty two runs and twenty drop backs, and

558
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're moving the bulle score and touchdowns.

559
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: It's not a coincidence. And again, you can't play that

560
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: way the way the Giants were blocking the first six

561
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: games the year, because you're getting negative two, negative three

562
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: negative plays. You couldn't do it exactly, you couldn't play

563
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: that way. But the improved personnelity improved play has allowed

564
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: you to change your style, which has gotten the into

565
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: where they are now. And you know, the negative plays.

566
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: We've got to include the sacks in there. The first

567
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: half of the season, my god, Eli was on pace

568
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: to break every record there isn't getting and negative runs too,

569
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: oh my goodness. But the one thing you bring you

570
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the forefront is the fact that you have hat on

571
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: hats when you go for those bigger, bigger personnel packages,

572
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: and then the defense can't do much because you've got

573
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: enough guys to stop what they want to do. And

574
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: there's there's your answer from Eli, and it works. And

575
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: if it's not broke, don't fix it, or if any

576
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: it broke, don't break it. It's called bank likes to say,

577
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: and you know, and it's funny, like a couple of

578
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: the true football mentality. There right no question about it.

579
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: It's a linebacker for you. And then look, the opponents

580
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: have something to do with it. The Bears are a

581
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: good opponent. They were missing their starting quarterback, but that's

582
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: still a very high quality win. Look, the Bucks aren't

583
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: any good, we get it. The fully Niners aren't any good,

584
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: we get it. That has something to do with it.

585
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: You can't argue that fact. But it's takeaways too. I mean,

586
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the Giants four wins this year all four have coming

587
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: games and they've plus two or better in the cent

588
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: over ratio. Well, that's that's a that's a common stat

589
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: that you know that we say all the time, often

590
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: every Friday Man with you guys, yep, And you know

591
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: I've told you there's a million times people that he's

592
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: he's stressed. That's the most important statistic and football, and

593
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: really when it comes down at least for the Giants,

594
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: that's the most important statistic right there. And a lot

595
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: of times it's fluky. It can be flukey, but and

596
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: and not always a percent, but but most of the

597
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: time it is. And Pat Shermer, I'm not sure if

598
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: I said this when I was on the show with

599
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: you last week or somebody else, but Pat Schremer a

600
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: great quote. It was last Thursday talking to the media,

601
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: and you know he's talked talking about takeaways. He was, Look,

602
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: my uncle who first Sumer, if you guys don't know,

603
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: is a is a very famous defensive coordinator. He's like

604
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: a defensive master mind back in the seventies and eighties,

605
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: and he goes he wrote a book and he gets

606
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: and he wrote, you can't coach turnovers. You can't coach takeaways.

607
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: That's not how it works. What you do is coach

608
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: good defensive fundamentals, make sure guys know what's coming, where

609
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be, where that what they're supposed to do,

610
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: how to play things properly, and then the takeaways will come.

611
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: Why the Bears are gonna taken the ball away because

612
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: their players play great technique and they do enough film

613
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: study where they can anticipate what other teams are going

614
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: to do. So that's what the Giants have done a

615
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: better job at. They're also protecting the ball on offense,

616
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: which is a big part of it, Jeff. And you

617
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: put all things together, that's what the Giants are where

618
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: they are. So to me, and this is kind of

619
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: my larger picture thing here, people say, well, what's the

620
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: big difference. It's not a big difference, And that's the

621
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: thin line in the NFL, Jeff, that separates winning from losing.

622
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: It's such a thin line. You just change too offensive

623
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: line and it allows you to completely change the way

624
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: you play. You get a couple of takeaways that you

625
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: weren't getting earlier in the year. You close out a

626
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: couple of games late like you did against Tampa, like

627
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: you did against the Bears, like you did against the

628
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: forty niners that you weren't closing out earlier in the year,

629
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you go from one and

630
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: seven to four and eight and your season doesn't look

631
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: as horrible as it did before. So they're really just

632
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: a couple of plays in each game. And James Betcher

633
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: says this all the time. There eighty something snaps in

634
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,239
Speaker 1: a football game. Usually, give or take, there's maybe a

635
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: dozen that will determine what team wins the football game.

636
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: And the Giants of the last few games, and we'll

637
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: see if it continues the last four might not, you know,

638
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe the Redskins shut down the Giants run game, Eli's

639
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: got to throw at forty times and everything goes to hell.

640
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: It's possible. Who knows. But for the last four games,

641
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: the Giants have won those critical plays more often than

642
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: they've lost. They didn't do it at the end of

643
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles game, which is why they lost that game,

644
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: but they did in the other three. And it's just

645
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: such a thin line, Jeff, and it it's it's amazing too.

646
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I never thought that before I started working here.

647
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was just like the guy's

648
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: calling up and I'm like, oh, yeah, you got stink.

649
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Well it's you know what, maybe not. Here's the other

650
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: thing that makes a big difference. Whether it's the Giants,

651
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: it's Tampa Bay, it's New Orleans and Green Bay. If

652
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: your quarterback is playing well and being efficient in certain areas,

653
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: then your team will win football games. Okay, and if

654
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: you look at look at the elis just the first

655
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: seven against the asked for. I mean, this is some

656
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: of the career stuff he's doing this year. Okay, he's

657
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: not turning the ball over as he's used to, so

658
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: you know the turnover thing. The offense isn't turning it over,

659
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: the defense is getting takeaways. There's a recipe for success.

660
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: So but you know what, it's funny because it's just

661
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: a fine line. And really, when you say that those

662
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: twelve plays, you could go back and look at all

663
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: the games on the on the schedule this year that

664
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: these Giants have always played, and you would be able

665
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: to dissect in those games with with suxception, maybe a

666
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: few ten or twelve thirteen plays that would make the

667
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: difference in the game. If the Giants did this and

668
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: the other team didn't do that period. All right, Well,

669
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: I hope that answered the tweeter's question from a couple

670
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: of days ago. I think we got into that pretty

671
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's a big difference. And and one other

672
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: thing too, that people this isn't a statistic. This is

673
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: something that you It's built within the team, and it's

674
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: called confidence in leadership and and building the and culture

675
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: around the team. And as much as we talk about

676
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: and people may not want to know, I've been in

677
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: the locker rooms all my life, and I know I've

678
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: been on good teams and bad teams. This makes a difference.

679
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: Just look at last year and look at this year.

680
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say. When it comes to

681
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: culture and the guys that are around there, You've got

682
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of good guys in this locker room, a

683
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: lot of high character people that want to win football games.

684
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: That makes a big difference. And Jeff has played on

685
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: some of the best teams. There's no question he has

686
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: played on some of the worst. He was he was

687
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: on the Patriots and they were terrible. He was it was,

688
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: it was horrible. And by the eighth game of the year,

689
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: you were out of the playoffs, and you're like, did

690
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: you talk about our culture. Wow, it's a bad culture.

691
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Thank god I lived there. It was like it's horrible.

692
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to come to work. I mean, and again

693
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: it was just like, you know, you're playing for your

694
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: job at that point in time, and you know, so

695
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: I always came to work ready to go. But there

696
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of people like that. Okay, So let's

697
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: do it to one three. We want to remind you

698
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: that big book Kick Golf Live is presented by Corps Light.

699
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Download the Corps Light Rewards after an amazing Giants prizes

700
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: throughout the season, and we have a full bank of calls. Uh,

701
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: so let's do it. Royal in South Carolina, what's up, Roy?

702
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Hi, Hey buddy. Uh, you know, just to

703
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of right that train that you guys were talking about. Um,

704
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, one of the biggest intangibles I could see

705
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: in the last game, in the last couple of games

706
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: is I think Eli has a lot of confidence with

707
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: his own line. Well, yeah, you can see it. We

708
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: just see in his in his the way he and

709
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, Roy, it's funny. And aside from what I

710
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: talked about before, like the play calling in the scheme,

711
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: helping the offensive line. The other thing El and I

712
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: talked about today when when I interviewed him, and I said,

713
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, Eli, tell me if I'm wrong, but this

714
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: is what I've seen. And I said, in the first

715
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: half of the year, you guys had plays and me

716
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: and Jeff have watched it on tape where they were

717
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: max protecting with six or seven guys and the defense

718
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: was rushing for and the defense was still getting to

719
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: Eli Manning. That's not happening anymore. You know, if Eli

720
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: can anticipate pressure, if a team's blitzing, or he knows

721
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: it's a precarious situation, he knows he has to get

722
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: rid of the ball quick. When you're designing a play

723
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: to max protect, to throw the ball down field and

724
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: the guys still get to you, it has to plays

725
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: no chance to succeed zero. Those types of plays aren't

726
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: happening as much anymore. And I think that lends to

727
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: your point and why he has more confidence in that

728
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: group to block for him. He's also one other thing too, right.

729
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: The reason I did I believe this, I think that

730
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: if you look at the last at the second half

731
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: of the season, Eli Manning has been under center way

732
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: more than he was at the beginning of the season.

733
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: I think that he plays way better from under center

734
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: on his drop back passes, and he does in that

735
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: stupid shock. And by the way, on those under center passes,

736
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: Roy very fewer straight dropbacks. Most of them are play

737
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: action or get out of the pocket or moving the pocket. Absolute.

738
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: I remember you brought that up several weeks ago, about

739
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: the fact that he does so much better in the pocket,

740
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: and and you're right, and he you know, yeah, a

741
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: little bit, you know. So um, Well, anyway, um, anybody

742
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: can move, somebody's coming out. I'm in South Carolina and

743
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: we're coming back to Manhattan next week. Stay at a

744
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: time square, don't go near there. Yeah, and so, um,

745
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: we're hoping to get tickets for Sunday's game with the Titan,

746
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: and if not, I'm looking for a nice bar to

747
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: go to where we can watch the game. Well, I

748
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: can give you a perfect well, and that's that's the

749
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: home game next week. Yeah. I was gonna say the

750
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: same thing. If you're coming in this week, we're gonna

751
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: be it's at this certain bar that we do our

752
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: pregame show from. That'll be a barley corn in downtown

753
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: Manhattan on park Play. So that's for road games for

754
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: home games. Um, I know, UM, I don't know if

755
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to give it any promotions here, but I'll

756
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: give out one because it's a flagship station. I know,

762
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: in terms of where you can go watch the Game Boy.

763
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: But quite honestly, the Giants you I it's not guaranteed

764
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: they'll be mathematically eliminated by them, but there's a good

765
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: chance they will be. You probably are not going to

766
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: have that many issues finding tickets on the secondary market.

767
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: If you want to get them, Yeah, just drive into

768
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: the stadium. You'll find them handing them out on the

769
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: side of the road once in a while too. No,

770
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to buy them. I'm just saying they're

771
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: not giving them away. You'll have to buy them. But

772
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: that's where you can get them. I see it every week, right,

773
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: all right? Thank you? Right, take thank you. I appreciate it.

774
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: And of course you know if sometimes season ticket all

775
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: to give their tickets back and you always check the

776
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: box office to And I only say that because there's

777
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: these people are crazy. I'm serious. You'll be driving by

778
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: and then just jump out with their stupid card and

779
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: I need tickets. They don't need tickets. They need tickets

780
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: to buy from you, and then they sell them. That's

781
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: what they do. Anyways, you should be able to find him,

782
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: Jeff breaking down the black market. Yeah. I can't tell

783
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: you anytimes I've almost run those people over before. Do

784
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: you have any of their insights on illegal activities around

785
00:35:54,840 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: the meat Lands area? Health about it? Four or five? One? Right,

786
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: let's go to shot at Brookly. He's up next. Ye Hey,

787
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: how are you? What's up buddy? All right? Um? I

788
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: have a point a question okay, and then I have

789
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: a draft addiction alright, lead okay, lead off with your

790
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: point alright. The point I'm looking at is, um, we

791
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: definitely definitely have improved on the offensive line, which how

792
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate. UM. So I'm wondering are they able to

793
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: sign back the right guard that they got? Um? Is

794
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: he is he a free agent next year? Yes? He's

795
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: on the last year of his contract. The Giants certainly

796
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: if they want to bring him back, they should be

797
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: able to if they can obviously come to some kind

798
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: of negotiation on it. Okay, alright, UM, the question I

799
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: have is how many years is left on Burning's contract.

800
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious because I noticed the last two years, Um,

801
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: he's kind of been banged up, you know. I mean,

802
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: he's better now, but you know, I don't want that

803
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: to be a resoundant train. I'm under the impression that's

804
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of the reason why they got with a JP,

805
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: you know. So unfortunately last show, unfortunate the last two

806
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: years he's had the ankle injury. He has two years

807
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: left in his contract after this one is over. Um,

808
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, you know, the ankles has has kind of

809
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: hurt him, and I think he's only now getting fully

810
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: healthy from it. Those hi ankle springs can last a

811
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: long time. They're real paying the butt. Um, and we'll see,

812
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean, the Giants will have a decision to make. UM.

813
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: There are always to get out of contracts before they're over.

814
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: If the Giants decide that's in the best interest of

815
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: the team. I don't know if they're thinking that we're

816
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: vernon or not. But it's something you can look at

817
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: when you're trying to manage your salary cat moving forward.

818
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: But he still certainly is the best pure pass rusher

819
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: on this roster, and it's not close. We saw what

820
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: he could do last week against a pretty good left

821
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: tackle and charge Leno jr. Um But we'll see. You're right.

822
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: I think the last two years, Jeff, it's fair to

823
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,479
Speaker 1: say they've been disappointing, and a lot of it because

824
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: of the injuries. And my I know take is um

825
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: my draft preddiction. I know everyone have been all over

826
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: the carousel, but for me, I think with the pick,

827
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: and especially if they continue to win the rest of

828
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: these games, probably getting the playoffs or not, I'm not

829
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: gonna do the math on that, but I think they

830
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: should just go for a straight pass rusher. Um defense

831
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: is already young as it is already, um you put

832
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: a pure class rusher in there, maybe a Nick Bosa

833
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: whoever is the top premiers and and I think defensively,

834
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: if we can stay in games and if we can

835
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: sign back the right guard, I think the future next

836
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: year's is bright. Good. You know what, you make a

837
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: good point and I'll put it this way. You look

838
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: how exciting Sequon Barkley was. Okay, on the offensive side

839
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: of it, I think just as important, maybe not as exciting.

840
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: But the fact is that if you did get a

841
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: pure pass rusher and edge rusher that can make some

842
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: like a Bosa. I mean not saying his brother is

843
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: going to be as good as a lot of people

844
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: think Nick is a better prospect than Joey believe it

845
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: or not. Okay, so, and the fact just how exciting

846
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: it it makes a defense when you have a guy

847
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: like that to play. Unfortunately, as the Giants continue to

848
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: win football game, they're not gonna get They ain't get

849
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: Nick Bolsa. But but and they're probably not going to

850
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: get the big kid from Alabama either, Quinnon Williams, who's

851
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: a monster defensive tackles. There's a lot of them in

852
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: the graft this year, though. They're saying maybe seven or

853
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: eight of the top ten players in this draft could

854
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: all be defensive lineman or outside linebacker pass rusher, saying

855
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: that there will be a lot of options for the

856
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: Giants here when they decided to If they decide to

857
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: go the rat of pass rusher, uh In April's draft.

858
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: Thanks for the called palper than you told me to

859
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: bring up um, Dame Bruglers are guys like top ten here,

860
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: just to give you an idea, who's real quickly quick?

861
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean I out a ten out just off top

862
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: of my head. I bet there's gonna be at least

863
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: four in the top ten. Mean, let me see they

864
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: could find Dane's thing real quick. Here, here we go.

865
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: Dane's top thirty two might be the number one pick. Okay,

866
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean let me let let let me try to

867
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: find this as we go to our next caller. Okay,

868
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 1: oh boy, we know who this is. Got a bad

869
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: feeling about this. Hallelujah losing he's mine element jokes. I

873
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: excited that he heard his open he accidentally hung up

874

Speaker 1: on himself. That's unbelievable. Excellent job, Charlie, excellent, excellent job.

875
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Charlie is happy these days being

876
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line is playing a little bit better, and

877
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: somehow they managed to do without resigning will beati. I

878
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: don't know how they managed that, and I can tell you.

879
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you exactly why Charlie's calling and

880
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: he hopefully he'll call back to affirm this, confirm this.

881
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: He's calling because he wants to talk about how a

884
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. It's nothing to do with the

885
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: Giants right now, which is why it's so funny. Charlie,

886
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: you're laughing as you're dialing. I'm sure all right, Um,

887
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: I have his most recent mock draft. Okay, Uh, this

888
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: came out on December three. Oh, it's last week. This

889
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 1: is perfect and we we haddin on during the bye

890
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: we can talk about some of these guys. So, um,

891
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: he's both to going first, okay, Uh. Quentin Williams, the

892
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: guy just mentioned the defensive tackle from Alabama, going second

893
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: to the to the Raiders Jets. Third, Rashan Gary, the

894
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: edge rush rad of Michigan. There's three out of three

895
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: defensive line. Uh. Then fourth overall Arizona Cardinals, the big

896
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: offensive tackle for the Alabama Jonah Williams, who will be

897
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: the first tackle drafted by the way. Uh fifth, he

898
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: has justin Herbert again. If he comes out, we'll say

899
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: going to the New York Football Giants at Sex, he

900
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: is Dwayne Haskins on the top ten going to the Jackson.

901
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to find out a little bit more

902
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: about that guy. And you know what, though I've heard

903
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: lot of other people are moving into the top ten,

904
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: top fifteen, I know he's only started one year. He's

905
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: a Richard sophomore, and I have not watched a ton

906
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: of Ohio State. Dan Salmon tells me he's the best

907
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: thing since sliced bread, But he told me that about

908
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: card L. Jones too, so I can't trust anything he

909
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: tells me. He is an ohil staate guy, by the way, Um,

910
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: but some people think he's raw. But he's got a

911
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: lot of town so I've not watched enough of him

912
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: to have an opinion. I've seen a little bit of Herbert,

913
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: and I think he's pretty good. Uh seven. Greedy Williams

914
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: the cornerback out of l s U. And now we're

915
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: gonna get a slew of defensive lineman and past worts

916
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: is ed Oliver the big defensive tackle out of Houston

917
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: who's kind of an athletic freak, even though he doesn't

918
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: have a ton of production sack wise, only two and

919
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: eight pounds. UM Josh Allen, edge rusher out of Kentucky.

920
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: Really good player. Not the quarterback, uh Jackai Politey. I

921
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: forgot that pronunciation right edge rusher out of Florida at

922
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: ten right there, six out of ten. And then you

923
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: got other guys in the first round, just in the

924
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: top fifteen. Mac Wilson linebacker Alabama. You got after that,

925
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: um Clellan Farrell out of Clemson, Jeffrey Simmons Mississippi State,

926
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: Montez Sweat, Mississippi State. Uh Devin White linebacker l s

927
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: u So, a lot of guys in your defensive front

928
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: if you want to address that area of your team.

929
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: And the one more quarterback in there from the Zoo,

930
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: what is that Drew Lock. Yeah, he's the guy that

931
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: I think, well, some people think second round for him,

932
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: but we'll okay. So obviously you know, if you are

933
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: on the radar for a quarterback this year, certainly not

934
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: the not the greatest pickens, if you will, And this

935
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: is what happens. I mean, I feel like, and again

936
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: I I have not watched these quarterbacks, so I can't

937
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: tell you for sure this is the case. But every

938
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: year you eventually figure out a way to get two

939
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: or three quarterbacks in the first round. Right the question

940
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: whether the question is when that they deserve to be there,

941
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: because we've you have to go back to the year

942
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: where you know, back in two thousand eleven draft, Well,

943
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: do you think do you think all of them this

944
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: year deserved to be where they were? No? I think

945
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: only three quarterbacks are to be first round picks this

946
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: year if you draft him by pure ability and ready

947
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: to play. Okay, so definitely think about um Donald, Yeah,

948
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: he's my guy. You know that, and feel like, and

949
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: then your third guy was Josh Rosen. So I would

950
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: not have picked Alan or Jackson, at least in the

951
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: top twenty picks. Maybe in the back end of the

952
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: first round. I would have selected one of those two guys.

953
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: I just think both of them are very, very raw. Um.

954
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 1: What do you think do you think that Herbert's coming out?

955
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: I do. Um, he's a pretty unique situation. He's from Eugene,

956
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: so he grew up a Ducks fan. Um, he wants

957
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: to win there, and he thinks that enough players are

958
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: coming back where a lot of his group is coming

959
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: back next year, that they can win the Pack twelve

960
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: next year and maybe go to the football playoff College

961
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: football playoffs. And the bigger factor, his younger brother is

962
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a freshman wide receiver next year, and they

963
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: think that he wants to play with him, so that

964
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: would be another factor. And I've heard so much rumbling

965
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: that he's going to stay in school. I tend to

966
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: believe that right now, which is when then would leave

967
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: you with just two other quarterbacks, and and locks not

968
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: a top fifteen pick. He's a back into the first

969
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: round guy if anything. So you're looking at Haskins and

970
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: he started what I mean, ten games this year whatever

971
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: it is now, numbers are unbelievable. You know, look what

972
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: he did to Michigan, who's supposed to have the best

973
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: defensive college football. But so early on you gotta think

974
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: that the Giants and this is again, this is just

975
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: what we think. Is that or edge rushers? Where you go?

976
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: I mean, gentleman likes drafting guys up front, right there

977
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: you go. That wouldn't surprise me at all. Um. By

978
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: the way, back to two thousand eleven. That's some point

979
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: I was making. Cam Newton goes first, right, Here are

980
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: other players picked in the top fifteen that year, Von Miller,

981
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius, A. J. Green, Patrick Peterson, Julio Jones, Tyrann Smith, J. J. Watt.

982
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: All right, those are pretty good names, right. That's the

983
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: top eleven, by the way, and not in order. But

984
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: those are the guys that are in there. I'm gonna

985
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: list the other guys that managed to sneak in there somehow,

986
00:45:54,200 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Blaine Gabbert. And this is the

987
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: year where teams are desperate for quarterbacks and they picked

988
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: the three best guys, and they say, well, their first

989
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: round picks because of the three best quarterbacks. That doesn't

990
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that there are first round quarterback They just

991
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: have to be the best quarterback coming out that particular year.

992
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: So again, I have not watched enough of this quarterback

993
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: class to make that call. I don't know, but this

994
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: does happen sometimes, and you gotta watch out for it,

995
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. And this is this is one

996
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite drafts of all time. It's a monster draft.

997
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: Nate Solder was that year. Robert Quinn was that year.

998
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan was that year. Mike Pouncey was that year.

999
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Costanzo was that year. The running back for the Saints.

1000
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith, the cornerback, was this year. Um Mohammed Wilkerson

1001
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 1: was this year. Even Andy Dalton and Kaepernick, both second

1002
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: round quarterbacks, were this year. I believe DeMarco Murray was

1003
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: a third or fourth round pick this year. Richard Sherman

1004
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick this year. I mean, there

1005
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: was like a laundry list, a hall of famers that

1006
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: went in this draft. It really is an and Justin

1007
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: Houston was in this draft. It was just an unbelievable

1008
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: list of really good players, a lot of Miami players.

1009
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: In two thousand eleven to the Giants drafted Prince by

1010
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: the way, that year, two picks after Nate Solder, three

1011
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: picks after um Ryan Kerrigan so which, by the way,

1012
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan these days is a giant killer boy. I

1013
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: wrote that in my Redskins preview that I think it's

1014
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: up on John's dot com righting, and my point was, boy,

1015
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: Jihnant fans gotta be tired of seeing this guy. He's

1016
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: like he's like the Jason Witten now he is. Seriously,

1017
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: he won't go away. We'll not go away. And you

1018
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: know he's a guy that just doesn't get out of

1019
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: the lineup either. I mean, he started so many games

1020
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: for them straight. I mean I remember years ago he

1021
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: was hurt, but then all of a sudden bammies. But

1022
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: he is a good player, really good. And he's not

1023
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: like the flashy you know von Miller, super bendy off

1024
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: the edge, you know, turned the corner. He just he's

1025
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,439
Speaker 1: that Guy's a football player, man. He's he brings his lunch,

1026
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: pay all the work every day. That to who he is.

1027
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: So Charlie never wanted to call his back. That's fine, Charlie.

1028
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: Two one four or five one three. We'll get back

1033
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: and he hung up again. Charlie. He must be out

1034
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 1: in the forest or something like that, trying to collect

1035
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: some montica to apply on a muscle pull or something

1036
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: like that. Cutting out a tree here or there or

1037
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: something like that or something, or maybe trying to find

1038
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: you some more lobsters. Maybe he's like going through traps.

1039
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: Maybe he's underwater. Your phone doesn't work under water, Charlie,

1040
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: What did you watch in the game last night? By

1041
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: the way, I watched the first half and then was

1042
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: just I turned it on the third quarter. Then I

1043
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: quickly turned it off, so I did not see a

1044
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of it. And as I was going from upstairs

1045
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: and downstairs the last night, I missed the run by

1046
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: Henry and I was able to watch it on the replay.

1047
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: But what I run that was someone I want to

1048
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: try to tackle. Let me ask you, I you more

1049
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: impressed than ninety nine yard run or you were you

1050
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: just like, how can you not score from the one

1051
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: yard line? I was more impressed by how after being

1052
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: down thirty to nine and getting run on for like

1053
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: three hundred yards the Jacksonville Jaguars were like in the

1054
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: faces of the Titans talking smack to them after stopping

1055
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: them on a fourth down in the fourth quarter. After

1056
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: you've been dominating old game and you got like a

1057
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: j booy A and Jalen Ramsey, and like my was

1058
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: Jack like pointed in the Titans faces talking all sorts

1059
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 1: of slack after they got destroyed for three and a

1060
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 1: half quarters. I just could see body language out of

1061
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguar. They didn't want to be there last night.

1062
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: That team did not want to No, no, this, and

1063
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: again like next week. I saw the the advertisement for

1064
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: next week's game, which is amazing. By the was actually

1065
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: dominated the cults last week. The Jaguars, like what happened,

1066
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 1: shut them out. I mean that's impressive. Yeah, the culture

1067
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: good offensively either, they're kind of crazy. They also showed

1068
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: Toach Coughlin up in the booth and he was about

1069
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: losing his Papa was telling me that he did not

1070
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: look like a happy camper. No, And you think he's

1071
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: coaching next year, I don't, I don't know, I don't.

1072
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think he's gonna do

1073
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: that again. I just think that he's going to have

1074
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: a big hand. And what's going on down there. And

1075
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: you think Marone's coaching next year? Is that fair? Made

1076
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, got the couple of plays away

1077
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: from the go to the super Bowl. Yeah, so this

1078
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: would be his first bad year. I guess. I mean

1079
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: he came in what was how many games left the

1080
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: last the first year, he got a couple of games,

1081
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: Remember there was a couple of games and then he went,

1082
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just offensively, I think they they

1083
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 1: they should have quit on blake boards way before. Well.

1084
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: The problem that they ran into we talked about this

1085
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: last offseason is that that that fifth year he was

1086
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: on his fifth year option contract, right, but that's guaranteed

1087
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: for injury, and he had that risk surgery in like February,

1088
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: and that guaranteed that fifth year option. So they had

1089
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: to have him on the on the year on the

1090
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: team from something like twenty million dollars. But and then

1091
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: they tried to extend him to kind of you know,

1092
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 1: bridge that cap room from one year to the next,

1093
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: and now they're stuck with him for another year. I mean,

1094
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a mess. It is It is a it

1095
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: is a rough situation. Boy that got kid, he got

1096
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: the you know what beat out him? Huh? Eric Flowers,

1097
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Omam, you watched the pregame where Rabel was out

1098
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: there getting blocked by his offensive didn't the defensive lineman

1099
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: know what was going on? He wears this like it's

1100
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: just like a shield. Okay, it's almost like a vest

1101
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: that a police officer would wear. It puts over the

1102
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: head and the defensive linemen were actually up on him

1103
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 1: and he was blocking that former linebacker was crazy head coach.

1104
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty cool, man, I mean, why not?

1105
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: You can still do it. He loves the game. He's

1106
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: like like a whacker dude. Though, Man, I'll tell you what,

1107
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 1: I bet he loses it sometimes in some of those

1108
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: meetings because he's got a screw loose. Is there any

1109
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: better way to segue to charliey than to call on

1110
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: somebody a whacking. I don't think so, Charlie. Let's try

1111
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: this one last time. Otherwise it's on. But give us

1112
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: a reason. We'd like to know the reason, were you? Like?

1113
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: The reason is I'm working actually to tell you the truth.

1114
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: That's a good reason. And somebody anyway, Yeah, they're gone,

1115
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: so I'm available. Hey. I just wanted to say I

1116
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: had to watch had I had to watch the game

1117
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: last night. I hadn't watched Flowers of the Momy do

1118
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: the do their great thing, and it was just like,

1119
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: so glad they're not on our team anymore. So I

1120
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: have a question. Did you hear what Jeff said the

1121
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,479
Speaker 1: last time you hung up on us? Or no, no

1122
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. Well, let me repeat what I said.

1123
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: The only reason that Charlie's calling today is because he

1124
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: wants to talk about the game last night with Flowers

1125
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: and no Mamy. Let us exactly what I said. I

1126
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: knew it. We read you like a book. Hey, what

1127
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: was the thing? Is is? Now? Now? David Deal is

1128
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: like tweeting like boy he is. Eric Flowers has never

1129
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: learned check geek. I can't believe it, you know he?

1130
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: Why is he? He's not even an NFL player And

1131
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: I've been saying that for three years and you're not

1132
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: even an NFL player. Yeah? No, I actually I felt

1133
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 1: bad for both of them last night watching that because

1134
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, okay, so this is not good.

1135
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: By the way, I have a theory. I have a

1136
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: theory on Patrick o Mom because I did watch like

1137
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: his full season where the snaps last year with the Jaguars.

1138
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,359
Speaker 1: I think he was pretty good. I think his move

1139
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 1: to right guard he or screwed him up. I think

1140
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: he's probably a better left guard than a right guard. Now,

1141
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm wrong, Maybe his play has just fallen

1142
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: off a cliff for a reason. I don't know, but

1143
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: the player that I saw here with the Giants was

1144
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: not the same player ON saw on tape with the

1145
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars last year. He just wasn't. I don't know. Off

1146
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: moving from from from left to right had something to

1147
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: do with it. Maybe maybe I'm you know, giving him

1148
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: too much credit. I don't know, but I'm still surprised

1149
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: how poorly he played here. I really did not see

1150
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: that coming. I gotta be honest, Well, you gotta be

1151
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: happy with what you're seeing out of this offensive line now,

1152
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: Charlie right, Hey, oh yeah, definitely hey, And we still

1153
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: got hope, you know, we end up at This is

1154
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: what's going to have to have. Dallas got to lose

1155
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. Philly's got to lose the

1156
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: rest of their games except beating Dallas this week. And

1157
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: Washington can win one out of their last three because

1158
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: we're going to beat him this Sunday, and we will

1159
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: win the division. At the game against Dallas will be

1160
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: for the division TITLEE wouldn't that be insane? You know

1161
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: what be insane about it is all the people that

1162
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: have sold their tickets for that game. Did you imagine.

1163
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that would just be insane. If that would

1164
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: that would be great. Don't amazing. Don't look, Charlie, don't

1165
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: make me be the wet blanket here, please don't. It's

1166
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: just fun to think about it, right, to talk about

1167
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. Hey, Jeff, you'll have to if

1168
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: it happens, you have to invite me down so I

1169
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: can sit in the booth with you guys have watched

1170
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: the game. I by the way, I wouldn't mind doing that,

1171
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: but I don't have that discretion to be able to

1172
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 1: say yes today. I'm sure if you were I said

1173
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: an extra credential, Jeff, you could get one, just just

1174
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: don't request it from me. By the way, Charlie, it'll

1175
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: be great. Jeff will make sure he positions you right

1176
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: in between him and the Tino because Datino is very

1177
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: difficult to watch a game with. He gets very physical.

1178
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: He'll do do a lot of grabbing and like watching

1179
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: you when things are bad. Yeah, like a lot of that.

1180
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: So Jeff would put your right next to him. And

1181
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: I think Russ sets you guys too, right, so he

1182
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: can put you right between Russ and Datino. It'll be perfect.

1183
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: So in the booth. Imagine this, Charlie, and you commiserate

1184
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: with me. Please. To the left of me is Paul Detino,

1185
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: and to the right of me is Russ Salzburg. During

1186
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: the games, God help me. By the way, I do

1187
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: invite you to sit in the radio booth with us

1188
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: if you want to. You're invited to the understand that.

1189
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: I understand that, But I just feel I have enough

1190
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: characters in that But I could squeeze one more in.

1191
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: You have a lot of characters in that booth. That's

1192
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: the case. I will come down for that game. You

1193
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: have to leave on Friday. Alright, So, Jeff, do you

1194
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: want to watch a game with Charlle. I'm gonna leave

1195
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: us up to you. I'm putting you on the spot.

1196
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't listen. I hope it happens. Yeah, I'll watch

1197
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: a game with you. If if this happens, if this

1198
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,439
Speaker 1: scenario goes through and then the John, the wet blanket John,

1199
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: will have to not show up for that game, then

1200
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 1: all hell will break loose because nobody else knows what

1201
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 1: to do. Recognizes that. I appreciate it. Let Lance would

1202
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: be thrilled. He would just keep doing his pregame show

1203
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: into play by play, and you would never hear a

1204
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: bot pop it. It would just be Lance Medal for

1205
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: eight straight hours, that's what And he could do it too.

1206
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: He could do it for eight straight hours, I promise you,

1207
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: and he would think it would be better than anything

1208
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: else you could have possibly done. It's been awesome, all right.

1209
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 1: That's the one thing you can take off your bucket list.

1210
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: Me coming down there, so yeah, let me hold on.

1211
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,919
Speaker 1: Let me look through my bucket list is I think

1212
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: it's maybe nineties six pages deep. Here, we'll like slop bucket.

1213
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, Charlie. Have a good weekend, Charlie, could you

1214
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean imagine a call? He was okay today? Yeah, yeah,

1215
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: but I hit the nail on the head. I knew that.

1216
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: I knew exactly. That's the way he wanted to say

1217
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: about his his his ex teammates Colors. I'm sorry about that.

1218
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: Thanks to being part of the show. It's all presented

1219
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: by Coors Light. Download the cores Light Awards. That's amazing.

1220
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: Giants prizes throughout the season. Final thoughts Jeff either on

1221
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 1: the game life in general. I think on the day,

1222
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: whatever I think on the game, that this team is

1223
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: playing well and I think that they can go down there.

1224
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to play good football, discipline football, offensively,

1225
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: run the football, not turn it over, and defensively get

1226
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: some turnovers. And because you know what, if they can

1227
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: get these turnovers and turn them into points, I don't

1228
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: think the Redskins can hang with the Giants. And believe

1229
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying this offensively putting, scoring, scoring, because the Giants

1230
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: have done that real well the last four games. Run,

1231
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm gonna I'm gonna sound like dinosaur

1232
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: Detino here, who you know, caveman football. But I think

1233
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: in this game it's accurate. The Giants stop the run

1234
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: and run the football in this game, I don't see

1235
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: how they lose. And you know me, that's not how

1236
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: analytically you win football games. It's about the passing game.

1237
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: And I happen to agree with that. Still, even with

1238
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: the Giants playing you know, run first play at chin

1239
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: big personnel, you still have to pass the ball to win.

1240
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: That's the way the league is built. But you can

1241
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: get there a different way. But for this game, you

1242
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be on a crappie field. That Washington

1243
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: Redskins field is always one of the words that in

1244
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or two of the when Pittsburgh is an excuse

1245
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: because they have all those high school games. They are

1246
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: and the Panthers play there to Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh.

1247
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: The FedEx fields is like it's just a slot. It

1248
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: looks good on TV because they painted, but they painted dirt.

1249
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: It's sand. It's such a slow surface and I think

1250
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: that takes the advantage away from some of the Giant speed.

1251
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: So they have a physical defense. That's good. They will

1252
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 1: get takeaways. You you do you avoid them by running

1253
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: the football. If the Giants run the football and stop

1254
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,439
Speaker 1: the run, they win the game. It's take a little

1255
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: bit of the philosophy for the Bears into this game.

1256
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: And the Bears team what they do is they make

1257
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: you make the mistakes and cost your games. Correct. That's

1258
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: what the Giants have to do this week going down

1259
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: to Washington. Let the let the Redskins, who are trying

1260
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: to compete for a division, let them try to do things,

1261
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: you know with San Chaz and all the other stuff.

1262
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: But they let them make the mistakes, and you be

1263
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: the discipline team, you'll win the game. Well, it's a

1264
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: quick hour today I'm with you, Jeff. I think that's

1265
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Let the Redskins beat themselves and

1266
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 1: don't beat yourself. If the Giants don't beat them they're

1267
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna win the game. Not necessarily against some of the

1268
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: better teams in the league. You have to make plays

1269
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 1: against those seems to win this game. If the Giants

1270
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 1: don't beat themselves, they're gonna be good. And by the way,

1271
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to Brandon Roth. He's

1272
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: done a good job with us every Friday the course

1273
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: of the year. If you actually had stayed down there

1274
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: for the entire show, I would invite him a on.

1275
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: He could have waved. I would have given him a

1276
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: high five. But I've been asking him for two weeks

1277
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: what's your last show? When he kept saying today, So

1278
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: I was waiting for today to make this big deal.

1279
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: On the leaves he's upstairs and he passes it off

1280
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,440

1282
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: he's still in the building, and if he's listening upstairs, Brandon,

1283
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: thank you very much. If you were down here, though,

1284
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: we would have made a bigger deal about it, but

1285
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: it's been a good listener to. He's a good do

1286
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: something to our show. Yeah, and he actually listens to

1287
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: what we say. I'm like half the guys who are

1288
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: doing something else while the show is going, they don't

1289
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: care if they don't care about this, but Brandon does.

1290
