16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: twenty two regular season with a twenty two to sixteen

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: loss in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, and they finish

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: up and not seven in one overall, the Eagles get

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to fourteen and three, They win the NFC East and

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: they also claim the number one seed and the bye.

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: This is the fifteenth win in the last eighteen meetings

22
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: for the Eagles against the Giants, including nine straight in

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: Philly going back to two thousand thirteen. We knew that

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of the backups are gonna play today, Jonathan,

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: so it wasn't necessarily a surprise. But you saw a

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: lot of effort out of the group that was on

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: the field for the majority of this game. Davis Webb

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: his first career started. He gets a touchdown pass the

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: Kenny Galladay, his first touchdowns since joining the Giants prior

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: to the the last season. Webb also ran in for a score.

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: They made a game interest thing that I'm sure a

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: lot of people thought was perhaps going to be a

33
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: comfortable victory for the Eagles, given they had to rely

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: on all their starters. Yeah. Absolutely, And you gotta tip

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: your hat off to those guys who suited up for

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the New York Giants today and you know, played the

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: number one seeded Philadelphia Eagles very very tough four quarter game,

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: came down to a one score game at the end

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: of the end. At the end of the game, you know,

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: so I gotta tip your hat off him. They did

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 1: very well in the red zone today. Defensively, they would

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: they they forced it equal to be one for five

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Jalen Hurts look sub part of that.

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: He didn't look like the MVP candidate that we've seen

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: all year, like they've seen in in the first time

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: they played him not too long ago, you know, And

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: this is a valiant effort. I took my hat off

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: to all the guys that played. And you know, there

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: were some mistakes, you know, a lot of mistakes. There

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: are a lot of penalties there, but that's what you

51
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: expect from a B team and a team like the

52
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: New York Giants, who you know, played basically most of

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: their backups and some starters. They're here and there. But

54
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: they played this team very, very, very tough. And I

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: think this is a team that look when the game

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: was over. You usually see one team looking very sad

57
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: because they lost and the other team looking happy. The

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: Giants didn't look sad after this game. They look like

59
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: this they were They have some confidence after this loss.

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: That is huge going into the playoffs, because, like I

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: said before the game, this is a playoff team. It

62
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: was a playoff caliber type game for some backups, and

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: I think they did a really good job again Eagles

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: today and the real postseason will start next weekend the Giants.

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: It's been solidified they are going to visit the Minnesota Vikings.

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: It will be a rematch from a few weeks ago.

67
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: We just don't know what date and time that game

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: will be played. We'll get more into that as we

69

Speaker 1: and eight at the fourteen yard line for Davis Webbing,

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: the Giants. Web takes the snap quarterback draw in. Webb

80
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: goes up the middle, lowers the shoulder, takes out of

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the Fenderson from the touchdown, and that brings us to

84
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Davis Webb one of two scores for him on the

85
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: day as the Giants pholt of the Eagles twenty two

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: to sixteen. He ran six times or forty one yards,

87
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: including that fourteen yard bulldozing touchdown as he took Eagle

88
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 1: safety read blanket ship along for the ride. It brought

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: back flashes of Daniel Jones's two point conversion in Week

90
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: three last season when he took Grady Jared at the

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons for a ride in route to punching it

92
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: into the end zone. And Webb also throwing a touchdown

93
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: pass to Kenny Galladay. So he is the player of

94
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: the game. And before we get into more on this contest,

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,839

00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: head coach Brian Dable addressing the media following the Giants

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: regular season finale. Our veryon John Schmilk monitoring the podium

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: as we speak, John, no surprises. We thought that the

103
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: bench players and the depth chart would be showcase fully.

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: I think the bigger surprises how competitive this group was

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: today and how they gave the Eagles a little bit

106
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: of scared down the end of the road here is

107
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia had Jalen Hurts back in the mix, but the

108
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Giants kept him out of the end zone. They were

109
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: one for five in the red zone. This was the

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: number one scoring red zone offense in the NFL coming

111
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: in It's today. Yeah, I think you hit it. It's

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: that situational defense once again that's kind of been good

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: all year. And I think this does give this giant

114
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: seem confidence that they do if they if they do

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: end up beating Minnesota next week and they have to

116
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: travel with Philadelphia in the second round of the playoffs,

117
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I think this, you know, you probably feel much better

118
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: going into that game than you did after they had

119
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: that rough matchup against Philly in early December. And then

120
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: I think, you know, if you want to look at

121
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: it from more of a sentimental perspective, I think he's

122
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: gotta feel good for Davis Webb. You know, he's a

123
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: guy that's been the league for a long time, except

124
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: for one clean up garbage time game where he handed

125
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: it off and kneeled it a couple of times. He's

126
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: never had significant playing time in the NFL, and he's

127
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna be the only player going to podium today after

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: Brian Dable. And you know, I think you just feel

129
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: good for the guy. He had a touchdown run where

130
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: he runs over read plankinship and he throws a contested catch,

131
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: you know, touchdown the Kenny Golladay which is kind of

132
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the play everyone's you know, was visualizing for Kenny Golladay

133
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: when they signed him in for agency a couple of

134
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: years ago. He gets that touchdown, his first touchdown as

135
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: a Giant. So you know, yeah, I think you know

136
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: this day, everyone and the Giants came out of the

137
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: game healthy. No one got hurt, right, So I think,

138
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: obviously you'd rather win the game. But if you can't

139
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: win the football game, I think you gotta be pretty

140
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: happy with how the Giants are walking out of this

141
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: final regular season game in Philadelphia. Well, and speaking of

142
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: sentimental value, I think also that applies to Kenny Golladay

143
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: John because he finally finds the end zone. It's clearly

144
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: been a trying season for him, both from a physical

145
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: and a mental standpoint. And after he caught the touchdown,

146
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: he goes to sit on the bench and the first

147
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: guy that greets him is Brian Dable and they have

148
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: a heart to heart there. So I think that says

149
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: a lot about what the coaching staff thinks of Kenny Golladay,

150
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: as well as all of his teammates who then followed

151
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Brian Dable over to the bench. There was a lot

152
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: of emotion on the sideline for an individual that clearly

153
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: has had his fair share of struggles since he joined

154
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: the Giants a year ago. Yeah, Lanson, look you mentioned

155
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: and and the last promo you read about Big Blue

156
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: Kickoff Live and we always got questions this year about

157
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay and uh, you know, is he not trying?

158
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Is he dogging it? You know that was never the case.

159
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: It just didn't work out. You know, he couldn't be

160
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: the type of productive player when given the opportunity that

161
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: he was with Detroit, which is unfortunate, but he kept

162
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: working hard in practice. The coaches said nothing but good

163
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: things about him. He stuck with it. Um, he continued

164
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: to be a good teammate. You mentioned his teammate's reaction

165
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: on the bench after the touchdown that that should tell

166
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: you all you need to know. You know, Bob told

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the story about the team, you know, going out to

168
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: dinner and him picking up you know, helping pick up

169
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: the check with you know, Stirling Shepherd and Sae Kwon Barkley.

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: So you know, just it's great. I mean, it's it's

171
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: good to see a guy who's stuck with it all

172
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: the year, worked hard and in the game understanding the

173
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Eagles are up by a couple of scores and you know,

174
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: the touchdown in the big picture where it doesn't mean

175
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a a lot, it was still good to see him

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: make that play. And then the other thing I'll throw

177
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: out there, two guys, this is more of an Eagles

178
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: perspective thing, you know, big picture playoffs stuff. You know,

179
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: it really feels like a lot of what they do

180
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: offensively is relying on j when hurts his legs and

181
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: if they don't feel confident with him running the ball

182
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: because of his shoulder. Now, maybe they were just being

183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: cautious in this game because it was the regular season

184
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: and not the playoffs. It could very well be, but

185
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: now as you head into the playoffs, you know, he

186
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: needs to be able to run the football and take

187
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: hits with that bad throwing shoulder. If this Eagles offense

188
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: wants to work at peak efficiency because since that injury

189
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: he has abled to run at the Eagles offense does

190
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: not look the same. And I think that's especially relevant

191
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: lands to what you mentioned in your first question to

192
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: me in the red zone. You know, a running quarterback

193
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: in the rend zone, and Jonathan can speak to this

194
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: really gives that offense a different dynamic in terms of design, runs,

195
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: read option, moving the pocket, things like that. And if

196
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: you could trust a quarterback to not just run it,

197
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: but you know, run through defenders, getting extra you harder

198
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: to you know, that ub style quarterback sneak that they run.

199
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: They did do that once today. You know, those are

200
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: all essential parts of the Eagles often. So you know,

201
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: they have another week off now Philadelphia. They clinched the

202
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: one seed, you know, but can he get back to

203
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: being that integral part of their offense running the football

204
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: in the postseason for them to play like the Eagles

205
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: team that earned the one seed and not like the

206
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: team that's played the last three or four games. Well,

207
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: because I think you had to account for Jonathan, I

208
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: want to bring you to the conversation. When you go

209
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: up against the Eagles, before the injury, you had to

210
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: account for Miles Sanders may run it, hurts, may run it,

211
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: or hurts then may throw for an explosive play. He

212
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: ran nine times today for thirteen yards, but we saw

213
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: more often than not he was sliding, he was giving up,

214
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: He wasn't looking really to challenge himself for the Giants

215
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: defense today, it seemed yeah, and and look they need him.

216
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: They the Philadelphia Eagles knee jelly Hurts performing at a

217
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: very high level, not hurt to do any type of

218
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: damage in the playoffs. I think walking out of this game,

219
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Giants losing, Philly winning, the Giants have more confidence than

220
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: affiliate for Eagles going into this playoffs, just from the

221
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: performance that we've seen from some of the guys that

222
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: haven't played as much McLeod, some of the guys on defense,

223
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: and then also Kenny Golladay getting that touchdown and you

224
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: see he almost like galvanized the whole sideline day ball

225
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: went over there first, defensive guys going over there speaking

226
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: to the media. Good good, um, tough game, sixty minute

227
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: game came down. If you players give Philly credit, but um,

228
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: I thought our guys competed all the way to the end,

229
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: and um, well stuff game. You want you guys hang

230
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: in there, hanging in there. Yeah, well, I mean it's

231
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: it's it's the NFL. So the guys you have on

232
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: your team, you have confidence, and I certainly have confidence

233
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: and all the guys that we have it's you know,

234
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: you're not playing walk ons and things like that. You're

235
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: playing people that earned the right to be on the

236
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: team and compete and play. So, um so whoever we

237
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: have out there, I have confidence and um they all

238
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: know what to do. I thought they played a very

239
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: competitive game. There's a few things obviously we could have

240
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: done a little bit better. Um, you know, tried a

241
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: few plays to get us going there on a fake

242
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: field goal and on side kick, just to try to

243
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: generate some offense, which we were sawing a little bit

244
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: there for the first you know, half plus a little bit.

245
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: So um, you know, tough, competitive, smart guys that we

246
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: value on our roster. Yeah, yeah, we just thought that

247
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: was it was best for our team. Um. I thought

248
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: he made some good plays, and you know, I thought

249
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: some plays we obviously could have done better. But I

250
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: thought he competed for sixty minutes and um, you know,

251
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: gave us a chance at the end. Yeah, no, I

252
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: understand the question. Um, I'll leave those conversations that we

253
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: have in the house. Um, but you know, some of

254
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: those guys who played a lot of football, Uh, so

255
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: we gave you know, we gave some other guys some opportunities. Yeah,

256
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean our defense stood out. They scored one touchdown,

257
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: they hold the field goals on some short fields. Um,

258
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, I thought, look, I thought everybody out there competed.

259
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna single out any individual. I just thought

260
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: they all compete it right to the end. And um,

261
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: you know I ended up being a one score game there.

262
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: Try to get an onside kick, but uh, you know,

263
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: just came up a little bit short. Yeah, I mean

264
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: it's you when you play a team close all the

265
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: way to the end. Um, usually the team that makes

266
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: a few more plays wins the game. And they did so.

267
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know, all our preparation will be geared towards.

268
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Uh that team. They're fantastic team, well coached, and we're

269
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to do need good week of preparation. Yea, Uh,

270
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: that's the playoffs. You know, whatever the seeds are, the

271
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: seeds are. So we'll prepare as hard as we can

272
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: to uh go play a really good football team in

273
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: a hostile environment. I think you'd have to ask them.

274
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I think that you know, every week's a new week

275
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You know we have obviously division games, UM,

276
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: play teams twice and you know usually in the playoffs,

277
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, if you're playing good teams, UM, you probably

278
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: get a crack at them twice too. So, UM, you

279
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: know we're needed, We're need our best week of preparation,

280
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: UM more confidence. Yeah, I just know that I gotta

281
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: do a great job of of doing my job. Coach

282
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: has got to do a great job of preparing. Each

283
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: week is a different week, um, and this week would

284
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: be a different week than it was the last time

285
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: we played. I'm just like Washington was different. It's like

286
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: the Philly game that they're all different. So we're just

287
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: going to control the things we can control, which is

288
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: our preparation and our and our practice, and we'll figure

289
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: out when we're gonna play him here. You know, I'm

290
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: assuming after this game tonight, Yeah, I'd say we did

291
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: enough to get to the postseason. So in terms of

292
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: the evaluation of all that, that will be another time

293
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: and place. But I was proud of of our guys

294
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: the way they compete it today, and um, you know,

295
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: unfortunately you came up short. You want to win every game,

296
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: and UM, you know the results weren't there, but all

297
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: the process and the preparation, like it's been all year,

298
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: UM has been good. So we're gonna get our best

299
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah. UM, I don't know. They're all a

300
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: little bit different. You know. The first one was twenty

301
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: one years ago, and the last one was you know,

302
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: an unbelievable game last year at Kansas City, so and

303
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: all in between. There's about thirty of them. So, um,

304
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: each experience is different. I don't think. I mean, I

305
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: think you can definitely learn, Absolutely you can learn things

306
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: just like you do in the regular season. But how

307
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: it how it goes for that particular game that you're

308
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: getting ready to play, really doesn't have much bearing at all. Um.

309
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta play well, you gotta coach well,

310
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's the one game season. It's what

311
00:15:44,960 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: it's at thanks show h Yeah. Look, we try to

312
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: do the best job we can every time we play. Um, again,

313
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: I've said it plenty of times. The results aren't always

314
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: what we want, but how we compete it, how we prepared. Um.

315
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I give those guys in our locker room a lot

316
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: of credit. Um, they work extremely hard. They're smart, tough, dependable,

317
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: and you know we came up short though, so we

318
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta go back home, you know, take these

319
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: busses home. Um, get in the training room, getting the

320
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: meeting rooms, and and have our best week of preparation.

321
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry when you made it, did you say how

322
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: did I feel? Oh? Yeah, it was great. Um, you

323
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: know I thought he had a chance for another one too. Um,

324
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: we're kind of a zip by him, but uh, you're

325
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: a proud of all your guys. You know Belton, who's

326
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, hasn't played a bunch, But it's in and

327
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: we have a lot of confidence. And you know, Kenny

328
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: made a great play there at the end in the

329
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: end zone. You know that's you know has doesn't play

330
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: a bunch, but when he had an opportunity tonight, you know,

331
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: he made a big play for us. So you need

332
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: everybody on your roster at this time of the year. Um,

333
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: whether that's for five plays, sixty plays practice. Look, team,

334
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: everybody is important, um in the organization, and you know

335
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: certainly starts with the players. Do you think the gay today, Well,

336
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: I just know they were you know, they were doing

337
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: exactly what they needed to do when they were out

338
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: there with their teammates. They were encouraging them, they were

339
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: looking at the pictures, they were into the game. And again, um,

340
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: you only have a certain amount of players on your

341
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: roster to compete each week. So you make decisions, um

342
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: and actives, so to speak. And you know, we sat down,

343
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: Joe and I and you know, talk to some coaches,

344
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: assistant coaches, and I thought this was the best thing

345
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: for us and our team is uh, you know, I

346
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: think we have an identity that you know, we're we

347
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: just try to compete, you know, That's what we try

348
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: to do, and whoever's out there we have confidence in,

349
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: all right. So that was head coach Brian Dable speaking

350
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: with reporters following the Giants regular season finale as they

351
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: fall to the Eagles twenty two to sixteen. But as

352
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: he discussed, they are heading to Minnesota for a rematch

353
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: with the Vikings in the wild card round. We're gonna

354
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: get into that rematch, some takeaways from the first matchup,

355
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: as well as takeaways from this last game against the

356
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, and what the depth chart may have shown

357
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: that helps the Giants both in the short term and

358
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: the long term. We'll be back with more right after this.

359
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: You were listening to Pepsi Giants Extra Point on the

360
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,439

Speaker 1: blue the fan w f A N and w f

364
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: A N f M New York rep takes the staff,

366

Speaker 1: it's got a first down, carrying the file all the

367
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: way to the forty before he's finally dragged down. Can

368
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: E eight right well or the Giants convert another third out?

369
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: And that brings us to the Giants Power Report, brought

370
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: to you by P. S. E. N G. Committed to

371
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: providing safe, reliable energy now and in the future. On

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: the ground today, they ran the ball twenty one times

373
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: for a hundred twenty nine yards over six yards per carry,

374
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: highlighted by Davis Webb's rushing score. Gary Brightwell led the

375
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: way eleven carries for sixty yards. His long was twenty five.

376
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Web added six runs for forty one and Matt Brita

377
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: for for eight. As we welcome you back to Pepsi

378
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: Giants extra point lands Meto, Jonathan can see us with

379
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: you recapping the Eagles victory over the Giants. As the

380
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: Giants wrap up the regular season at nine seven and one,

381
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: they now will turn their attention back to the Minnesota Vikings,

382
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: a team that they los two on a sixty one

383
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: yard field goal by Greg Joseph in week sixteen four.

384
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: And as far as this contest is concerned, Jonathan, earlier

385
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: we were talking about the effort, and that shouldn't surprise anybody, because,

386
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: as we discussed in great detail in the pregame, you

387
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: were giving players today opportunities in playing time that did

388
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 1: not come their way for the majority of the season.

389
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: So if the effort wasn't there, you would question, well,

390
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: what's going on with the mindset of the guy? So

391
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone should be surprised by that. It

392
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: was more so the level of execution in terms of

393
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: them preventing Philadelphia from duplicating what we saw a few

394
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago at MetLife Stadium, knowing this is the number

395
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: one red zone offense and also not allowing the Eagles

396
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: to really dictate the tone of this game, knowing Jonathan

397
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: coming in they had everything to play for with the

398
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: number one seed as well as the NFC East title

399
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: on the line. Yeah, and the Giants had they took it.

400
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: They were down sixteen zero in the in the first half,

401
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, and for them to come back and keep

402
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: the game very manageable and close and onside kick away

403
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: from actually trying to go back and win the game,

404
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: you know. And that's like I said earlier, I gotta

405
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: tip my hat to the guys that played today because

406
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: everybody wasn't playing. There was a lot of guys who

407
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: are integral parts of this Giants offense and defense and

408
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: special teams that didn't play. And you've got guys like

409
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: Lawrence Cager who had eight catches. Marcus Johnson added three catches.

410
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay is a guy that you know, I think

411
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: he has been a disappointment for a lot of us

412
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: as fans, you know, But to see him getting the

413
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: end zone, I think that was that's great for him,

414
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: That's great for his morale and great for the team

415
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: as well. And then also like defensively, you got guys

416
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: like where Darius Williams who you know, say he should

417
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: be playing earlier in the year. Well, today he got

418
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: a chance to play and he actually led the team

419
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: in tackles with ten solo tackles, you know. And and

420
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: to get some good game experience against a really quality

421
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: team no matter what happens, that gives you confidence. That

422
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: gives you confidence and the ability that, look, I can

423
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: go and play against these guys, the A. J. Browns

424
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: and DeVante Smiths of the world, and I can go

425
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: ahead and compete against these guys. And then you look

426
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: at Gerd Davids, somebody that the Giants just recently bought in.

427
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I think he had a great game today. He showed

428
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: that he was very physical, very uh involved in the

429
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: running game, bringing it, you know, downhill. Also Michael McFadden

430
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: as well. Dane Belton added another interception. With his limited

431
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: play throughout the throughout the season, he showed that he

432
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: is a playmaker for the Giants. And look, that was

433
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing I wanted. I wanted to see guys

434
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: who didn't play a lot get some playing time and

435
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: have some success. And that's exactly what I saw, especially

436
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball today. They also

437
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: had three sacks against Jalen Hurts too. And this was

438
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: that Eagles offensive line that has been steady all season long.

439
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I know they're missing Lane Johnson the right tackle, but

440
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: other than that, they still had two other Pro Bowls

441
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, and they didn't let the Eagles

442
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: rushing attack go crazy. Boston Scott clearly had another rushing touchdown.

443
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: We know his track record, and you look at a

444
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: hundred thirty five yards. But all in all, what did

445
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: they do in that first matchup? Remember Jonathan Miles Sanders

446
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: had over a hundred forty rushing yards the yard per

447
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: carry us through the roof. I know Jalen Hurts didn't

448
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: necessarily look to run, but they didn't have those backbreaking

449
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: runs that they allowed, and that to me is also key,

450
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: especially when once again the Eagles were leaning heavily on

451
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: their starters. Yeah, and you look at it, four yards

452
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: to carry. Look, that's that's the minimum, that's the maximum

453
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: when you look at defensively, what you want to give

454
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: up to a to an offense. Right, but the Giants

455
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: have been way over that the entire year, giving up

456
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: over five yards to carry to to see the one

457
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: of the top Russian teams in the NFL, to keep

458
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: them the four yards to carry on, you know, a

459
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: defense where you're not playing your main guys dex Scenourans

460
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Leo Williams being out. Those are the guys who has

461
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: been stopping to run the entire year. But like I said,

462
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: adequate playing time for a lot of players that didn't

463
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: really play a lot in the season. And I think

464
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: when you turn on the film throughout the week, you're

465
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of great plays from a lot

466
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: of players that we're there are not household names, you know,

467
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: And I think that is huge because the Giants we've

468
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: been seeing this all year. The Giants lack depth. The

469
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: Giants don't have depth, especially compared to like the Philadelphia

470
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: Eagles or a team like that. And I think today

471
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: was a good way to get the guys who are

472
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: a little lower on the roster some adequate experience. And then,

473
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: like I said, walking off the field, I didn't see

474
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: a defeated team. It looked like a confident team that

475
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: just lost the game to a team that they said

476
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: they feel like they could have beat That's what it

477
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: looked like to me, and that is huge When you

478
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: talk about going into the playoffs with some momentum, that

479
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: was a huge question. I think you asked us two

480
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: or three times before the game started about momentum, and

481
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I think the Giants with this

482
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: loss have some momentum going into their first playoff appearance

483
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: into Downton six team. Well, I'm glad you brought that

484
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: up because Giannathan, I want to explore more of that

485
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: with you when we come back, because I wonder, with

486
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: most of the starters now on the field, how much

487
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: does that momentum translate, So hold that thought. Definitely want

488
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: to delve into that as we start to look ahead

489
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Vikings game, and we will step aside

490
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: when we come back. We'll get Kenny Golladay's reaction to

491
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: finding the end zone for the first time in his

492
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: Giant's career, as well as what the Giants could take

493
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: away from their performance against Minnesota two weeks ago that

494
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to clean up in the rematch next weekend.

495
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: With the date and the time to be determined, we'll

496
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: be back right after this. You're listening to Pepsi Giants

Speaker 1: in the Antony leads up Fort do you make the catch?

501
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: No touch down there there? Kenny Golliday's first touch down

502
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: catches a Giant. It's twenty five yards man against. That's

503
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a play there, Seemy got his feet

504
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: in or a body part down Peter Henny Golladay's first

505
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: touchdown Cam sits here was a Lion Carl mentioned against

506
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: his former teammate, just too specify because he has two

507
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: former teammates to the Eagles. Secondary wasn't James Bradberry defending him.

508
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: It was Darius Slay. His Lions team made a Galladay

509
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: made a beautiful one handed grab. That's the play of

Speaker 1: a shot, you know, definitely appreciate it. Um a long

524
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: time coming and that felt good. Especially felt good, you know,

525
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: also make a play for well, you know, I'm this

526
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: is his first start, so you know it felt good,

527
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: you know, for him to get a touchdown. Did you

528
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm not being a jerk when I asked us, did

529
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: you keep the ball? No? I don't score enough. I

530
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: don't keep the ball has that much? No more? Was

531
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: it gratifying in the way. I mean, it's been, like

532
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: you said, a long time coming too. And it wasn't

533
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: just a rare touchdown. It was like an acrobatic circus.

534
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: I mean it just put it this way, like I

535
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: wasn't surprised. Um, like I said it felt it felt

536
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: good to find you get that that first touchdown. Um, yeah,

537
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: I just leave it at that. You know, I felt

538
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: it felt good to get it. Canny, your teammates seemed happy,

539
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: really happy for you. Did you feel that as you

540
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: went to the sideline and interacted. Oh yeah, you know. Uh,

541
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: and that just made me more appreciative really, Uh that

542
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: those guys got hyped for me, you know, even though

543
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: we were you know, you know, losing the game, that

544
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: means a lot. What has the last eight weeks or

545
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: so been like for you? It is what it is. Uh.

546
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: I was just you know, happy I was I was

547
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: able to go out there. Um, I make it play

548
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: done a lot of good things in this league. Did

549
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: you mind playing in the game with it that was

550
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: mostly backups? Was that understand the cyclestances? But at the

551
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 1: end of the day, that's my job to go out

552
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: there and play. That's Kenny goa and the player press

553
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: conference is brought to you by MetLife, the official insurance

554
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: company of the New York Giants. So Kenny Galladay reflecting

555
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: on his touchdown as well as his playing time. And

556
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 1: I want to expand on that, Jonathan, because I know

557
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: on Big Blue Kickoff Live, a show that you're also

558
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: involved in on Giants dot Com as well as the

559
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: mobile app, and you can hear that on all your

560
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: favorite podcast platforms. We get constantly questions on a weekly

561
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: basis about Kenny Golladay. Is this gonna be the week

562
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 1: where they're gonna target him, They're gonna utilize him more.

563
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: And I don't want to take anything away from his performance,

564
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: a meaningful performance, but I think perspective is needed. Meaning, Okay,

565
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: he gets his first touchdown, the coaches they have is

566
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: not all of a sudden going to have his snap

567
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: counts skyrocket next week against Minnesota. We've got to realize,

568
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: as Kenny Galladay was asked, this was a prod of

569
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: they didn't want to play Isaiah Hodgens. They didn't want

570
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: to play Richie James today because they wanted to avoid injury.

571
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: At Gallada, to his credit, was able to capitalize with

572
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: more playing time. Yeah. Look and look when I when

573
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: I hear day ball speak, he always talks about practice, right,

574
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: And the people always was asking questions about Kenny Golladay

575
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: and his lack of playing time and his lack of

576
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: reps and his lack of catches this year and he

577
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: always went to he does what we asked him to

578
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: do at practice, you know, And I think they just

579
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: needed to have happened in the game, and it finally did,

580
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: not just for the Giants and day Ball and the

581
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: guys that want to see him play receiver, but for

582
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, you know, I know they had a lot

583
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: of he had a lot of questions going into like maybe,

584
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: like and can I still perform? You know? Am I

585
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: still that guy that I think I am or that

586
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: I know I am? And I think this was confirmation.

587
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: So look for him to practice really well this week

588
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: coming up. Look for them to have the team collectively

589
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: to have a spirited practice this week, oh the entire week,

590
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, man, when you in that playoffs

591
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: and you know there are teams that are sitting at home,

592
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, going on vacation ends and hanging with their kids,

593
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, you got at least another week that you

594
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: can put that stuff off for at least another week,

595
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, And that is huge. That is huge. This

596
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: is the reason why you play in the NFL, to

597
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: get into the dance, to have a chance to compete

598
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. In February and the Giant stunt

599
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: punched their ticket. And like I said, this game people

600
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: say it was a meaning it was a meaningless game,

601
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: but it never was really a meaningless game. It never

602
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't count in your seating, but this game

603
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: meant so much to so many people. Kenny Golladay was

604
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys that had something really good taken

605
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: out of this game with that that single handed catch

606
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: for a touchdown, because it's been a long time coming

607
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: for him. Yes, he said, he scored some touchdowns in

608
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: the past, but not for New York, not here in

609
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: in in for this team. And then I love the

610
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: way how he looked. He deflected right away to David's Web.

611
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: They was asking him about his catch, but he was like,

612
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm just happy I caught it for David's Web. It's

613
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: his first start. This goes to tell me that he

614
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: actually is a good teammate. So if anybody had questions

615
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: out there about him and his character, I think he

616
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: answered that question today And he once again took advantage

617
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: of his opportunities, which is important in a game like this,

618
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: because this was a little bit more about the individual,

619
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: to your point, than maybe the team accomplishment overall. And

620
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you from the standpoint of spirited practices because

621
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: when you think about most of the guys that got

622
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: playing time today, well, what do they do during the

623
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: course of the practice week. They're on the scout team

624
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: right there, gonna give the looks to the starters, which

625
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: brings me back to what you were referencing right before

626
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: we stepped aside, Jonathan, and he said, oh, well, maybe

627
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: given how competitive they were, they can gain some momentum. Now.

628
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: I had some conversations with you both on and off

629
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: the air, and I was a proponent of I thought

630
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: there was value in playing some of the starters today

631
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: because I think there is something to be said about

632
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: playing your best football late in the season carrying it

633
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: into the postseason. And the Giants were coming off a

634
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Vikings performance and a Cults performance where you had consecutive

635
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: really good offensive showings. And do you want to interrupt

636
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: that now? Brian Dable and company reflected on that they

637
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: prioritized health and completely understand where they were coming from.

638
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: I just wonder, with most of those starters not on

639
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: the field, Jonathan, whether or not that momentum that you

640
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: were talking about does truly translate when most of these

641
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: guys are not gonna necessarily get as much playing time

642
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: next week. Look, I think every team is different, you know,

643
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: every year is different, and you have to take that

644
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: approach to the team you have now, not what worked

645
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: for you or a team that you are part of

646
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: in the past. You know, and at the end of

647
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: the day, this team lacked depth, especially in the middle

648
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: of the season. They attrition was a problem for this

649
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: team and mid and middle of the season. Now the

650
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: season progressive. This team is actually getting healthy. A lot

651
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: of guys are coming back Xavian McKinney as these are. Larry,

652
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: he's been down now he's kind of been in the

653
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: rotation a lot. A lot of guys are starting to

654
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: get healthy. And I think this is the team that

655
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: led by day Bo. I think he knew that they

656
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: needed this game to go ahead and get those guys back.

657
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he knew that this was gonna be

658
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: a confidence booster, which I think it is. I think

659
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: game gives everybody more confidence in. This team has a

660
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: collective unit that, yeah, we knew the starters were good.

661
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: We know Dexter Lawrence is one of the better playmakers

662
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: on in the in the in the interior, on the field.

663
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: But Justine Ellis got quality snaps today. Rider Anderson got

664
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: quality snaps today. O'shane's Imminez, Tony Jefferson, Cordell Fly guys

665
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: who are not household names for this Giant team had

666
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: quality reps and kept this high scoring Philadelphia offense only

667
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: the twenty two points and it didn't look pretty. It

668
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't look easy for Philadelphia at all today. So I

669
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: think the momentum it's there. It may not be with

670
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: the starters, but trust me, those starters if you can see,

671
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: say Qua and even Sterling. Sterling has been on there

672
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: for like fifteen weeks and he's there adamant, ready to go.

673
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: He was there tonight when the guys hung out after

674
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: the last game. This is a tight knit group. This

675
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: is a team that Cavon Thibodeau said it earlier, This

676
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: is a family and they're playing like a family right now.

677
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: In the momentum, I don't think could be any higher

678
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: than it is right now after this game, after this

679
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: loss to Lands crazy. Absolutely, yeah, it's a funny thing

680
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: life of the NFL. As you can attest to one

681
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: other notable stats speaking of the defensive performance, Eagles just

682
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: five of fourteen on third down, another big reason why

683
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: they weren't able to capitalize in the red zone. Make

692
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: observe that, and we'll start to look ahead to the

693
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: next matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and what went wrong

694
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch of that game that the Giants could

695
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: certainly learn from as they apply to this rematch that's

696
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: coming up as we move along here on Pepsi Giants

697

703
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: a yard and a half while just shy of midfield

704
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: for the Giants, Web calls out signals, takes the snap

705
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: as some time dumps it off in the white flat

706
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: cage of those not gonna get there. He reaches, but

707
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be close, close, well if this closes to

708
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: the the tackle singer have spotted it. Who to change?

709
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Cajor got the yard and a half with extra effort,

710
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: and that is part of today's scoring drive of the game,

711
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: brought to you by Citizens, the official bank of the

712
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: New York Giants. Citizens has made ready for Giants fans.

713
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: Thanks to that extra effort play on a fourth and

714
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: one from midfield, it kept the drive alive and then

715
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: later on it would be Davis Webb on a fourteen

716
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: yard run that would find the end zone. The two

717
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: point conversion attempt was successful, but it made it a

718
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: nine games still in favor of the Eagles, and that

719
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: capta ten play, fifty nine yard drive that ate up

720
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: nearly five minutes. Is that is the scoring drive of

721
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: the game. We welcome you back to Pepsi Giants Extra

722
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: point lands Meadow. Jonathan can see us with you as

723
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: the Giants fell to the Eagles twenty two to sixteen

724
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: in a game that mathematically didn't hold a lot of weight.

725
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Why because the Giants knew they were locked into the

726
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: number six seed and they learned as a result of

727
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: other outcomes. Today they're going to head back to Minnesota

728
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get into that in a little bit.

729
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: But Davis Webb, who orchestrated the offense all day long

730
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 1: and had two touchdowns, he had an opportunity to address

731
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: reporters after the game. Let's listen in first, UM, very exciting. UM,

732
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: I want to thank all the o lineman and Marcus

733
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: kg Cajor, Gary, Um, Matt. It was a lot of

734
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: fun playing with those guys, and UM, Darius came in

735
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: a couple of plays. I appreciate that. UM, you know,

736
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: we battled and UM they're a really good team on

737
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: one see in the NFC, and we took them four quarters.

738
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: And UM, I wish myself first and the offense second

739
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: got off to a better start. But I mean it

740
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: was that second half was really fun and that's something

741
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. Spot On, I slid the first straw

742
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: and they kind of collapsed on me. Pretty quick and

743
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: we called something similar and um, I think it was

744
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: third and eight or something like that. And um, there

745
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: were some predetermined decisions. They're like you gotta get in

746
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: or get it close. So um, when it was that opportunity,

747
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: UM just anticipated and executed. Whenever we're going to start,

748
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: they could have started. Think you get this chance. Yeah,

749
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, very thankful the opportunity to Joe and Dabs. Um.

750
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think Tyron Daniel, I'm thankful for them too.

751
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: They supported me all week and helped a lot on

752
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: the sideline with Shay and Mike and UM, you know,

753
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: it was it was a battle. I mean, they're a

754
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: really good team. Um, but I didn't play good enough

755
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: for us to win early in the game. Yeah, I

756
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: told him on um tuesdayraes s, I promise, if it's

757
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: one on one, you're gonna get shot and you're and

758
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna catch it, and you're gonna and do it.

759
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: And um he did over a former teammate in Detroit,

760
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: and it was a great opportunity for him, and he

761
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: executed it. You know, he played hard and those guys

762
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: we only played with two receivers most of the game.

763
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: So I mean they man, they battled their butts off.

764
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully they get some Pudia lights on the on the

765
00:38:53,120 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: bus ride home. Essentially, we we met throughout the week.

766
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think, um, the game playing, UM coming

767
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: out had to change from the first half of the

768
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: second half, and UM, they did a good job kinda

769
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: taking away some of the things we tried to get going.

770
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: And UM what once we settled down and got to

771
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: some other things and UM started, you know, me finding

772
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: completions and running the ball with some zone schemes outside. UM,

773
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: I think we were able to kind of get some momentum, going,

774
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: some rhythm and get them on their heels for the

775
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: first time in a while. And UM, you know we

776
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: we we made him play four quarters and you know,

777
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: came down to Nansie kick and moment um kind of

778
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: blacked out, to be honest with you. But in in

779
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: the end zone, I remember, you know, Kenney was so

780
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: fired up, and you know he deserved that. You know,

781
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: I think, um, he's come to work every single day,

782
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: continues to get better, and he had an opportunity and

783
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: he executed that. Um. You know, I'm very very happy

784
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: for him. UM I wish UM I got in balled earlier.

785
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: There's two questions. Man, he's a strong dude. Your thoughts

786
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: on playing the first football game you took your first

787
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: hstance that any kind of hesitation or no. No, Um,

788
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: they're pretty good defense. There's Uh, my mind was occupied

789
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: with other things, but I understand the question. Tomorrow was

790
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: on my mind every day this week. Myself, my girlfriend, parents, family,

791
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: everybody was praying and loving. Um, not only to Marva

792
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: and Tirer organization. I mean, everybody had to watch that

793
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: and go through, you know, a brother going through something

794
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: very traumatic. And my hearts are with the whole city

795
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: and they've been through a lot, whether that be the storm,

796
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: um two um tops the shooting there. I mean that

797
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 1: city has been through a lot. And UM, I'm glad

798
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: they gotta win. And I know Tomorrow is happy watching

799
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: anticipating as a New York Giant. It's pretty cool. Um,

800
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: you know. I think my favorite part of the game

801
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: was Daniel Tyrod s Quan chep Um, John Feliciano, Julian

802
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: love A, Dory Jackson, and then I'm probably missing names,

803
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: but they were end of the game and they were

804
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: celebrating with their teammates and you know, after that first

805
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown the sideline and everything kind of felt the

806
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: momentum switch and I just wish we got that little earlier.

807
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: So that is David's webb speaking of the reporters after

808
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: his first career start, he did finish with two touchdowns.

809
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: He was also talking about his former Bills teammate Tomorrow

810
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: Hamlin David's webb. Remember it was with Buffalo from two

811
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen to two thousand twenty one, so he has

812
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: very strong ties to that organization and was reflecting on

813
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: what they've had to go through as a team. Though

814
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: they did have a big win early today against the

815
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. A little bit later on, we'll update

816
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: you on the rest of the Week eighteen NFL scoreboard.

817
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: So now they start to turn their attention Jonathan to

818
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, a team that they lost to twenty

819
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: four in Week sixteen. One of the most noticeable developments

820
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: coming out of that game was the fact that the

821
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: Giants they actually outclass the Vikings from an offensive standpoint.

822
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: They were able to move the football plenty in that game.

823
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: The problem is the four d forty five total yards

824
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: right didn't translate to as many points as they had

825
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: hoped because of mishaps and misq specifically the two turnovers

826
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: deep in Minnesota territory including the fumble by Daniel Bellinger

827
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: and then the block punt. So they were with the

828
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: Vikings every step of the way. But as we see

829
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: with all of these close affairs, and what a coincidence,

830
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: the two teams that have played and one a combined

831
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: nineteen one score games this season are now going to

832
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: go at it again in the postseason. Yeah, and and

833
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: last game it was it was the same type of

834
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you know, deep in the you know, battling

835
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: to the end of the game, you know, type of deal.

836
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: Because these these type of teams, you know, they can

837
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: give you cardiac arrest. You know, maybe that was a

838
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: little too early to use because you know the situation.

839
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: My apologies everybody, but they can give you, you you know,

840
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: some serious problems because they always keep it close, you know,

841
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, you know, and uh,

842
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: that's the type of game that the Giants like. The

843
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: Giants like to keep it close. You know. The Giants

844
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: only had one game where they won, uh by a

845
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: big amount, which was the last game against the Indianapolis Colts.

846
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: You know. So the Giants are a tough, physical team

847
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: that if they keep it close, Daniel Jones is not

848
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna make that mistake, say Kwan Barkley is not gonna

849
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: make that mistake to go ahead and let you get

850
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: the game, you know. But it has happened to them

851
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: because collectively as a unit, they do make mistakes. As

852
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: a team, they do make mistakes on special teams. And

853
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: I think that's what came back to haunt them in

854
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: that game, and it has haunted them in the past

855
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: and even today. The fake field goal attempt, what was

856
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: that about. I don't I don't know what that was about.

857
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: Evan Neil, false start a couple of times. Uh, the

858
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: one drive they have where they had ten plays sixteen

859
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: yards yards back to back, the thelay and then the

860
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: intentional grounding as well. Those are plays like that. Of

861
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: course we're talking about the third string quarterback. But these

862
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: are plays, and these are scenarios that has cost the

863
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: Giants games, plays, drives, and they have to get rid

864
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: of these plays, especially when they're gonna go into a

865
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: hustle environment against a really, really good Minnesota Viking team

866
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 1: and you've got to be very limited on your mistakes

867
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: down there, because just like you saw last game at

868
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: the end of the game, they did a good job

869
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: with Justine Justin Jefferson for three quarters, and at the

870
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: end of the game with a couple of mistakes here

871
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: and there and then allowing the best receiver in the

872
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: league to show that he's the best receiving the league

873
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: cause you to lose that game. I think the focus

874
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: is a lot different going into this week. I think

875
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: the practice this week is they know what they're they're

876
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: getting themselves into, and I think they're gonna have a

877
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: tremendous we could practice and go into Minnesota and surprise

878
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people, not me, but a lot of people.

879
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: Seventeen yards screen pass, I think is one of those

880
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: plays that you're referring to that Justin Jefferson caught that

881
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: was able to put Greg Joseph in field goal range

882
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: for that sixty one yard or even though he has

883
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: struggled a bit actually since he nailed that field goal

884
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. And if it does come down to

885
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: the small things, you gotta make sure you avoid the

886
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: untimely penalties and the misques. Because to Jonathan's point, Evan Neil,

887
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: who's gonna play next week. He had two false starts

888
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: penalties and he's had four in the last five games.

889
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's no surprise that they played

890
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: him today because I think part of that Jonathan is

891
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: they want him to clean up some of those issues. Yeah,

892
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: and defensively, a lot of guys you know that that

893
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: played for the Giants, you know, I think are like

894
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: frequent guys who have mental errors, make mistakes, and I

895
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: think look them playing more and more like they did today,

896
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: some of these younger guys like a like a Pennock

897
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: and Cordell Flock and to Mom Fox, Dane Belt in

898
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: the rookie Michael mcfadd and like, this is great experience

899
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: they can have and not garbage time minutes. You know,

900
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: they played a whole game against the best team in

901
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, definitely the best team in the NFC, and

902
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: they played very very well, you know, doing a good

903
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: job in the second half, only allowing six points in

904
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: the second half to have really, like I said, I

905
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: really talented team. So you gotta take something from this,

906
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the question was I think

907
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: you had the question and a lot of people had

908
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: that question. When you don't play your starters. How could

909
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: you take anything from this game? And I feel like

910
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: the guys that played today are the guys that are

911
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: mostly back up positions, but they're gonna get adequate playing

912
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: time in this playoff game, and they have some type

913
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: of you know energy and some type of you know

914
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: confidence coming off of this game that Hey, I just

915
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: competed with the best receivers in the league. I just

916
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: competed against the best offenses and the best defenses in

917
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: the league, and I did well. And I think that

918
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: says a lot. And that's gonna bowl well and for

919
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: the Giants collectively and especially for their second stringers or

920
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: the guys that are rotating in that played a lot

921
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: of time today. And that Giant secondary specifically is going

922
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: to be tested next week against Justin Jefferson, Adam Feeling,

923
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,040

Speaker 1: the Giants, Steelers doubled up the Browns four team, but

976
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: needed the Patriots and the Dolphins to lose in order

977
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,839

978

1001
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: season finale. They fall to the Eagles in Philadelphia twenty

1002
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: two to sixteen. Let's run you through the stats. They're

1003
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: brought to you by Pepsi. Giants watching is better with Pepsi,

1004
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: the official soft drink of the New York Giants, and

1005
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 1: we ran through the rushing numbers earlier Davis Webb in

1006
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: terms of the aerial attack twenty three or forty hundred

1007
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards the touchdown past the Kenny Golladay in

1008
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,280
Speaker 1: his first career start, Lawrence Cagre was the leading receiver

1009
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: eight catches sixty nine yards. Jalen Hurts twenty thirty five

1010
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: for two twenty nine. He did not throw a touchdown

1011
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: pass he was picked off by Dane Belton, so Hurts

1012
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: did not break a tie with Randall Cunningham. They were

1013
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: both tied. Cunningham did this in thirty five offensive touchdowns.

1014
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: That is the franchise record. Hurts, with his first game

1015
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: back after missing the last two with a shoulder sprain,

1016
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: you figured he'd untied the nott with Randall Cunningham, but

1017
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 1: it speaks volumes of the Giants defensive effort. A j.

1018
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: Brand led the way with four catches for ninety five yards,

1019
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: where Darius Williams was the leading tackler for the Giants.

1020
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: He had ten, so did Rick Davis, who had half

1021
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 1: a sack and because here White was the leading tackler

1022
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: for the Eagles with twelve nine solo as those are

1023
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: some of the notable scores out of this Eagles Giants

1024
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,280

00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: York Giants. Right before we stepped aside, we were referencing

1029
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: the state of the Giants secondary and Dorry Jackson was

1030
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: doubtful coming in. He did not play. He missed his

1031
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: seventh straight game due to a knee injury. But we

1032
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: caught up with him in the locker room and here's

1033
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: his perspective as he tries to return for the Vikings

1034
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: playoff game next week. We're at the locker of it,

1035
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: Dorry Jackson, as you're seeing today, they was out there

1036
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: scraping the showcase and they've been doing this so, um

1037
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: if you where are you at physically just playing a

1038
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: long time? Just like ready for next week? Um, Like

1039
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: I was just telling him, just getting back into the

1040
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: groove and I'm taking the day at a time, just

1041
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: doing everything that did something to do you know, stay

1042
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: at pace and being persistent, uh and consistent and you

1043
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: know what the work and um everything that they asked

1044
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: me to do. If you are able to if your

1045
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: if your knee is healthy enough for you to come back,

1046
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: what's your confidence level? I mean would you will have

1047
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: not played the full game in almost two months, so

1048
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: what's your confidence level of that if the knee is good,

1049
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: that you can get back out there and contend with

1050
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league. I think that's what

1051
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, practicing is for and exalt yourself and putting

1052
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: yourself in different positions to UM. You know, test everything

1053
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: you out to see how it is. UM. I know

1054
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: everything out there in the game is different than a

1055
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of bothers. But physically it's one thing. But it's

1056
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: about how mentally sharp have you been over to these

1057
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: past UM games that anybody injury that you haven't played.

1058
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: Are you still mentally locked in doing the thing, studying

1059
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: and everything necessary? You were watching that first you had

1060
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: a big game. How much of a difference that you

1061
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: can make if you're in the lineup. UM, that's the

1062
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: only thing you can see when it when when it happens,

1063
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, I know, and you're gonna shut them down.

1064
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: I think for for us, what we want to do, UM,

1065
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: you know is is limited. You know they big plays

1066
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,479
Speaker 1: and and uh just trying to execute our game, frying

1067
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: to execute you know, things that we do well and

1068
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: whatever that is. We'll just see. You know what happened

1069
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: for you? You're a competitor, but you haven't been out

1070
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: there in the fire. Can you get that edge back

1071
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: pretty quickly this week? If you're looking at good out there?

1072
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think I lost my competiteness on my

1073
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: edge and we don't want to compete and wanted to

1074
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: be out there and play with the guys. So I

1075
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: don't think, um the competition part with UM be a factor.

1076
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 1: Have they stoked the fire though the less a couple

1077
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: of months? Said again, the past month or so, have

1078
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,479
Speaker 1: you been keeping that fire doing for yourself? Oh yeah,

1079
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean what I mean watching these guys make plays.

1080
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: Every time they make it play just you know, like

1081
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: more fuel to it. Like, man, I wish I was

1082
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: out doing my guys. Man, every time they do something good,

1083
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 1: I wish I was out there or whatever. Maybe UM

1084
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: even I practice, you know, watching them and do seeing

1085
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: things on film like Damn. I wish I was just

1086
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: out there. They don't have to be making to play,

1087
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: just being there with him. Um in the huddle, laugh

1088
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: from joking, flying around, have a fun celebrating with him,

1089
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I think all that

1090
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: you know asked it. How close to how close to

1091
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: a full practice have you had? Um? I mean around

1092
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: this time? UM Like when they say you're limited, does

1093
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 1: that mean you're only getting a few reps or are

1094
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: you mostly tested playing like you did in the game. Uh?

1095
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: For me, whatever they have me doing, I'm testing like

1096
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm playing a full game. Your mind. Are you playing

1097
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: next weekend? My mom? As far as you're concerned, you're

1098
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: playing next week. I mean, we're just taking a day

1099
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: at the time, you know what I mean. I was like,

1100
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: if I can give your answer, I would, But that's

1101
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: just how the process been going, you know what I mean.

1102
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: So that's the Dorry Jackson. I'm gonna slid over. You're

1103
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: listening to text or Lawrence aid his locker? All right?

1104
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: So that was the Dorry Jackson speaking to the reporters

1105
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: and Jonathan A fair question that was posed his way,

1106
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: and this is what I wanted to get into. He

1107
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: has not returned for a regular season game, So if

1108
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: he is four enough and he was noncommittal, though then again,

1109
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: Brian Table has adopted the same philosophy all season, so

1110
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily read into a dory not giving you

1111
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: a clean answer. He's taken a page out of his

1112
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: head coaches playbook. But if you haven't played since the

1113
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: Lions game, right, that was when he was hurt, and

1114
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: he's missed the last seven contest. The Lions game was Sunday,

1115
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: November twenty, that was back in week eleven, your first

1116
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 1: game back. Let's go down the hypothetical road, and let's

1117
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 1: assume he does suit up. You're talking about as the

1118
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: question was posed his way nearly two months, and practice,

1119
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: as he referenced, will help him get himself in shape.

1120
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: But the difference between he and McKinney Jonathan is McKinney

1121
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: got his feet wet a little bit right against the

1122
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, a dory. It's baptism by fire. You're throwing

1123
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: him right back out there against the number two seed

1124
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,399
Speaker 1: in the NFC or the number three seat actually takes.

1125
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 1: And the difference with them, as well as the injury

1126
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 1: you had a hand injury or finger injury, whatever you

1127
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: wanna call it, Xavier McKinney and a lower body injury

1128
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: with a do Ory. So Dorry hasn't really been practicing.

1129
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: McKinney's been practicing. He was on scout team for a while.

1130
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,240
Speaker 1: And I even heard the defensive back coach talking about

1131
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: a play that McKinney made two weeks ago that just

1132
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 1: he was like, oh. He was like, oh, yeah, he's

1133
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: ready because he has been running and he has been

1134
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: a practice. So look, I hope a Dory's back, but

1135
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: don't expect him to come back here and look like

1136
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: the same exact a Dory that we were just used

1137
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: to that was a top corner in the NFL and

1138
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: a top return man in the NFL. Of course that

1139
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: was the reason why he got her in returning balls.

1140
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: But look, as much depth the Giants need, they need him,

1141
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, and that that may not be for sixty

1142
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: seventy plays and maybe for fifteen and maybe for twenty plays,

1143
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: and it might it might not be this weekend, this

1144
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: next weekend coming up, but we'll see, because he is

1145
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 1: a tremendous player and he would add depth and help

1146
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: the Giants out tremendously on the back end. But like

1147
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: I said, today was a huge game for other guys

1148
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: like like Panock and Fly and the guys that play

1149
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: the cornerback position and play defensive back for the New

1150
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: York Giants to get adequate experience and give them some

1151
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: type of confidence going into the playoff run that that

1152
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: the Giants are in right now, Well, they're gonna need him.

1153
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: Why Justin Jefferson twelve catches a hundred thirty three yards

1154
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: in a touchdown two weeks ago t J Hockins in

1155
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: thirteen for one O, nine and two scores. Adam Feedland

1156
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: was relatively quiet, kJ Osborne quiet, and now they're gonna

1157
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 1: get Irv Smith back, their other tight end who missed

1158
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: the majority of the season with a knee injury. So

1159
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a plethora of weapons in terms of this Minnesota

1160
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: passing attack, which means they're gonna need as many hands

1161
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: on deck is humanly possible in terms of the secondary

1162
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: because I think what we also saw today Jonathan is

1163
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: wink Marta Dill. You know, he has that aggressive philosophy,

1164
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: and I would be very surprised if that changes all

1165
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden next week, which means he puts secondary

1166
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: players in sometimes precarious spots, right, So if you can

1167
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: have a doory to rely on, you feel good about

1168
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: him handling his own against a veteran wide receiver. But

1169
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: it's another thing to be out on an island, which

1170
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: us the Jefferson the best receiver of the game absolutely

1171
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: look and and like you said, Wink Martindale does a

1172
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: good job and mix and play calls up. But like

1173
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 1: you said, it definitely leave defensive back of some tough

1174
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: physicians sometimes. But the guys have been gamed four. I

1175
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: haven't heard nobody complaining about it at all either. So

1176
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: let's see what the game plan is this week, because

1177
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the doors back or not. And

1178
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the Giants go ahead and guard compete,

1179
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: try to win their first playoff game in a long time.

1180
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: And we will delve into that matchup more and an

1181

Speaker 1: opportunity for you to also weigh in at eight seven
