Speaker 3: your end?

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: My pleasure Land's good to see you, good to talk

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: with you, and yeah, everything's pretty good, you know. Obviously,

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: I do a decent amount of work in filled it

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: and for the Eagles, so could.

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: Be going a little bit better.

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: I from being honest, has not been a good stretch

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: for them over the last month or so.

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, happy new Year.

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: Excited to see how this season finished it up for

29
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: everybody and then get into the playoffs.

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And that's a big reason why I wanted John

31
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: the podcast. And let's start with the Eagles because I'm

32
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: curious your perspective ross about their approach to this game.

33
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: We heard from Nick Sirianni earlier in the week throw

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: out that they could rest some of their starters. Now

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: we know the Dallas game at Washington is going to

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: be going up simultaneously to the Eagles and the Giants game,

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: and Dallas controls its own destiny.

38
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: The Eagles need the Cowboys to lose.

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 3: As a former player, what do you think the best

40
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: approach for the Eagles is?

41
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: Do you look at the scoreboard?

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: Does that determine how you navigate this game? Or do

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: you say, hey, we've lost four of our last five.

44
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: We need to start clicking heading into the postseason.

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Right, So, I think first and foremost, you play all

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: your starters, start all your starters, because you really only

47
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: look stupid, in my opinion, if you know, for some reason,

48
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: the Commanders are up in the third quarter on the

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: Cowboys and Jalen Hurts is standing on the sideline in

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: street closed, that would not be a good look, right

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 2: like that? That would be no good and you would

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: be second guest forever, and probably rightfully so, because it's

53
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: just such a difference, right, And that's why the loss

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: for the Eagles to the Arizona Cardinals was so devastating.

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about the potential to host two

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: home playoff games as number two seed versus.

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: Having to go the long road of highly.

58
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: Likely having to play three road playoff games obviously if

59
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: you even get that far. So I think you play

60
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: your guys, and I think you start them. I do

61
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: think they would never admit this or say this, but

62
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: I do think you probably do scoreboard wise, and you

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: probably do consider how the game is going against the Giants, right,

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean, if the game is going really well and

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: you have a lead and the Cowboys are looking like

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: they're going to win the game, then maybe you pull

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: your guys.

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: I think the opposite of that's true, too.

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: Right, if things aren't going well and the Cowboys have

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: I think either way, maybe you get some of your

71
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: guys out of there so they don't suffer an injury.

72
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: But certainly, with the way the last five games have

73
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: gone for the Eagles, they really need to be feeling

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: better about themselves, have some confidence going into the playoffs,

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: because right now they just don't well.

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: Speaking of the outlook for this Eagles team, Ross you

77
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: look at the last three games, they have watched comfortable

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: halftime leads dissipate. I know they held on to beat

79
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: the Giants, but the Cardinals scored four touchdowns. It looked

80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: like an offensive jugger not and we've seen a defense

81
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: that has had its fair share of issues stopping the run,

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: not getting after the quarterback as consistently as last season,

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: the turnovers for Jalen Hurts.

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: What went wrong this season?

85
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: Why are they not as strong as what we witnessed

86
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: last season as they rowed all the way to the

87
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: Super Bowl?

88
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Kind of a million dollar question, right, I Mean, I'm

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: from outside of Philadelphia, so that's the question I get

90
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: pretty much every.

91
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Day, Lance What happened?

92
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: Because not only that, I mean, you know, we're talking

93
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: about five weeks ago, they were ten and one. Every

94
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: other NFL team had at least three losses. Jalen Hurts

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: was the MVP favorite. They looked like a really solid

96
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: bet to be the number one seed in the NFC.

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: Most people like me on the Rosstucker Football Podcast had

98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: them number one in my power rankings. I will say

99
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 2: this though, even at that moment, they clearly didn't feel

100
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: as good of a team as they did a year ago.

101
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: They have never clicked on offense as well this year

102
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: as they did last year. Maybe that has to do

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: with Shane Steiken, the former offensive coordinator who's now in Indianapolis.

104
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: You know, some people think that people spent the whole

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: offseason coming up with better ways to try to defend

106
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: this offense, and that that has been part of it.

107
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: The one thing that's definitely clear is that they're not

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: as good on defense, and I never thought they would

109
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: be as good on defense. First of all, they lost

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator and Jonathan Gannon is now the head

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: coach the Arizona Cardinals. But they clearly got worse at

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: linebacker and safety. You know, there's no doubt about it.

113
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: And even though they brought both of their corners back.

114
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: Those guys are a year older, they're probably not as

115
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: good as they were last year, and they lost their nickelback,

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Avonte Maddox for most of the season. And even the

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: linebackers they do have, like a Zach Cunningham, who's clearly

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: been their best linebacker. He's been out the last few games.

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: So it's all of those things combined. They've had a

120
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 2: much tougher schedule this year. They went through a really

121
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: tough stretch. Their D line rotation is not as deep.

122
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: You know, you lose a guy like Javon Hargrave and

123
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: for agency to the Niners, they're not as deep on

124
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: the D line. I think the extra snaps, the extra

125
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: reps have worn on those guys. I think they're two

126
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: young Georgia d tackles, Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter have

127
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: hit a little bit of a rookie wall. I know

128
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: it's a year two for Davis, but he got hurt

129
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: last year, so I.

130
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: Think all those things are combined.

131
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: They also haven't played with the lead as much this

132
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: year as they did last year, but to your point,

133
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: they did the last three games, and the defense, in

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: particular the defensive line still wasn't able to really close

135
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: it out for him.

136
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Well, and that brings me to the Giants matchup here

137
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: the second time around, because I think the Giants takeaway

138
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: from the first meeting was well, they were with them

139
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: for the majority of the second half. And you know,

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: these Eagles Giants games have been fairly lopsided really over.

141
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 4: The last decade. But he wrote an interesting.

142
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: Article ross recently for the thirty third team, and you

143
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: made the case there is no such thing as a

144
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: meaningless football game.

145
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: And we know the Giants are.

146
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: Mathematically out of it, and we could talk about pride

147
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: and guys trying to put good film out there, But

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: what else do you think the Giants could take away

149
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: from a game like this as they enter an offseason

150
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: where they have some questions in various positions that need addressing.

151
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Giants are a little bit different because

152
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: I don't know that there will be major changes on

153
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: the coaching staff. I mean there could be, but usually

154
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: when you're a team that's already kind of out of

155
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: it at this point, there's a lot of speculations surrounding

156
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: the head coach. I don't think that that's the case

157
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: with the Giants. But there's going to be changes, right Like,

158
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: you can't have this bad of a year and they're

159
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: not be changes. And a lot of those will have

160
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: to do with the personnel. So those guys that are

161
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: playing on Sunday for the Giants, you know, they're playing

162
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: to try to stay there, try they're playing to try

163
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: to keep that job and that roster spot for next year,

164
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: and how they perform in this game will be sort

165
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: of the last impression for their coaching staff and how

166
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: they've played this year. And the only thing I know

167
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: for sure, Lance, because I was around it a lot.

168
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Unfortunately my first three years in the NFL, that my

169
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: head coach got fired, I was like, I guess the

170
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: original coach killer. I don't know, But how you finish

171
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: matters a lot, you know, from a coaching standpoint, for

172
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: the coordinators, for the players, it makes a big difference.

173
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of like your your closing argument, your closing statement,

174
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: if you will. So that's a big part of it

175
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: for the guys.

176
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: And even if there's a decent.

177
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Chance that they're not going to be there in New

178
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: York because maybe they are going to make a change

179
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 2: with some of these players, you better play well enough

180
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: that you can get a job somewhere else. I mean,

181
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: I I argue at times that these games are are

182
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: more meaningfull for a lot of the players for the

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: bad teams or the team are going to the playoffs,

184
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: and they are for the teams.

185
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: That are going to the playoffs. Teams that are going

186
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: to the.

187
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: Playoffs might not make as many changes as the teams

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: that have fallen way short. And you're looking at a

189
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: Giants team that really still has some personnel challenges and

190
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: some roster challenges that that they're going to be looking

191
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: at in the offseason. Plus, I do think, you know,

192
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: Giants fans, it's the last home game, it's the last game.

193
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: It's been a disappointing year. I think it would really

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: be nice for them to beat the Eagles. I mean,

195
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: you probably know more than me.

196
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: It feels like it's been a while since they've beaten

197
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: the Eagles. It feels like the Eagles.

198
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Just kind of own the Giants.

199
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: And even in a disappointing year, you know, it's kind

200
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: of like you're the last game of a college season

201
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: where you play your rival, right, it would be nice,

202
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: even in a disappointing year, to be able to beat

203
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: the Eagles and kind of get off that, get that

204
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: monkey off their back.

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 5: You love turs, You're good at it. So you started

206
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: turfizusiness grows, your savings grow, become the most celebrated name

207
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: in turf. Are you ready for all that life brings?

208
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Well?

209
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: Especially since they lost to this team three times last season,

210
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: including in the playoffs, and they've now lost eleven in

211
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: a row in Philadelphia.

212
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 4: They did beat them at MetLife Stadium in recent history.

213
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: But Ross, your point is well taken, as this is

219
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 3: As we're talking with former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker,

220
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 3: the host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. One of

221
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: the decisions Ross, that the Giants are going to have

222
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: to make this offseason, and we don't know exactly where they're.

223
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: Going to pick, but as it stands right now, they

224
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: have the fifth overall pick.

225
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: And you also wrote about quarterback injuries which have been

226
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 3: overwhelming this year across the NFL. They've played three different quarterbacks.

227
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is going to be recovering from a torn

228
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: acl I'm curious your perspective. If you're the Giant, Tommy

229
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: DeVito is the only healthy QB under contract for next season,

230
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor is a free agent. How much do you

231
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: have to consider about using that top five pick potentially

232
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 3: on a quarterback regardless of how you feel about Daniel Jones.

233
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's regardless of how you feel

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: about Daniel Jones. I think certainly they're going to bring

235
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: in another quarterback one way or the other. Right, it

236
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: will be Daniel Jones, de veto and at least one

237
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 2: other guy, which I think is interesting too, whether that

238
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: other guy is a veteran, or whether that other guy

239
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: is a draft choice, because you know, maybe it's a

240
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: guy like Joe Flacco Lance, a guy that you think

241
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: gives you a chance to win while Daniel Jones is rehabbing,

242
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: or if Daniel Jones gets hurt again. Daniel Jones is

243
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: still a young player and with his contract, ask yourself

244
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: if it makes sense to take another quarterback number five overall, However,

245
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: you know the thing that concerns me about Daniel and

246
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of his, by the way, you know,

247
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't know if you know this, Lance.

248
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: He was committed to my alma mater, Princeton before he

249
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: got a very late scholarship offer from Duke, So I'm

250
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 2: not real happy with Duke. That would have been sweet

251
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: if we had Daniel Jones for four years as our

252
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: quarterback in the IVY League. My concerns with Daniel are threefold.

253
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: I guess number one is just the on field performance. Right,

254
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: it was not great this year again, and they don't

255
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: have good receivers, right, they don't have great weapons around him,

256
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: and the offensive line was struggling and all that stuff.

257
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: But he still didn't.

258
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Perform as well as I thought he would coming off

259
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: of how he played the back half of the twenty

260
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: twenty two season. But then now you have a guy

261
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: who maybe his best trait right now is his running

262
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: ability coming off of torn ACL. And before with the

263
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: torn ACL, he had neck issues again, and as a

264
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: guy whose career ended whether hernet disk and my neck,

265
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about that. I'm concerned that he's now had

266
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: multiple neck injuries in his career. So you've got a

267
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: guy who the mobility is a big aspect of what

268
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: makes him successful, coming off of torn acl with two

269
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: neck injuries in his career that have caused him to

270
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: miss time. That's that's troubling to me. Troubling enough that

271
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: if you loved one of these young players.

272
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: I think you would consider it. Now, what makes this

273
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: this year unique.

274
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: Is I feel like there's a lot of good quarterbacks

275
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: coming out. Right, there's a lot of you know, people

276
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: talk at the top about Drake May and Caleb Williams,

277
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: but there's other guys that you know, have a legitimate chance, right,

278
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix and Bo Nix, And we'll see what happens

279
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: with JJ McCarthy and some of these other guys that

280
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: are going to be in the draft. My question is,

281
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: you know, I almost feel like it'd be a deal

282
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: if the Giants could take with that fifth overall pick

283
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: a real foundational player, whether that's a receiver or a

284
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: Rock Bowers, a sort of the heir apparent to Darren Waller,

285
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: or an offensive tackle. Although I know that might not

286
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: go over too well with Giants fans, I would love

287
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: to see them get a foundational player and then maybe,

288
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: you know, take a stab at a quarterback in round two.

289
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: One of these guys that ends up falling that really

290
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: shows some promise, you know, take your Drew brees Kirk

291
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: Cousins heck Lamar Jackson was the last pick of the

292
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: first round, right, like, take take that stab as your

293
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: young developmental guy that might have a chance in round

294
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: two as opposed to round one because of the fact

295
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: that Daniel Jones still does have that guaranteed money and

296
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: might end up being able to bounce back from these injuries.

297
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: To be your long term answer.

298
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: I think all very good points, but as you highlighted,

299
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: you do have to take it to consideration the fact

300
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: that Daniel has only gone in through one season fully

301
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: healthy because of his injuries even before the torn ACL

302
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: So I think.

303
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: That's some food for thought.

304
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: And Ross I wouldn't overlooked your point about an offensive lineman,

305
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: Evan Neil, their right tackle. He has missed fourteen games

306
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: in the last two seasons. He has been hit by

307
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: the injury bug this year. How much do you think

308
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: they need to take it to consideration depth And the

309
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: other thing that I'm curious is the second part of

310
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: that question, And this was something else you wrote interestingly

311
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: about for the thirty third team as a former offensive lineman,

312
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: how challenging it is today to develop offensive lineman on

313
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 3: your depth chart if you can't get them out on

314
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,479
Speaker 3: the field.

315
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: And perhaps something that the Giants have had some issues with, right.

316
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: And obviously it's interesting because Andrew Thomas struggled as a

317
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: rookie and then he's gone on to become a really

318
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: good player. And I think the hope expectation was that

319
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: Evan Neil would would follow a similar path. I'm not

320
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: sure that that's happened yet. I'm not sure though that

321
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: the Giants are ready to kind of give up on

322
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: Evan Neil in that regard and draft another offensive tackle

323
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: that high in the top ten, because honestly, like what

324
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: happens if you what happens if you do it again?

325
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: You know what happens if you draft another one in

326
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: the top ten and they also don't pan out like

327
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: Neil kind of hasn't to this point so far, so

328
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: that there's a lot there, Uh, you know, in terms

329
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: of the development, it's hard, man. I mean, it's not

330
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: as many practices as there used to be. Is not

331
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: as many ota there's as many padded practices, There's not

332
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: as much contact. They don't play as many snaps in

333
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: the preseason game. I mean, there's there, there's anything you

334
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: do in life and lands you've been.

335
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: To broadcaster for a while, so have I.

336
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: Man, I'm so much better than I used to be,

337
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, Like, I'm just more comfortable no matter what

338
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm doing. Getting a chance to do some NFL games

339
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 2: on CBS this year, and I just my confidence level

340
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: was very high because I've done it a lot, and

341
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: I feel very comfortable with who I am as a

342
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: broadcaster and what I bring to the table. And I

343
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: think that a lot of these offensive linemen are not

344
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: afford that opportunity.

345
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: But we have seen guys that teams have stuck with.

346
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: Garrett Bowles and Denver comes to mind now as a

347
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: guy that was undrafted Lance, I kind of get frustrated

348
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 2: by it because I see these first round picks where

349
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: if I played like they played, I would have been

350
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: cut yesterday.

351
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: But because of how high.

352
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 2: They're drafted, they get chance after chance after chance. They

353
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: get a chance to work through some of their issues

354
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: and kind of come out on the other side, which

355
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: is great and it's good for those guys. I've often

356
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 2: wondered though, like how many mid to late round picks

357
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: are undrafted. Guys would be able to have success too.

358
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: If a team showed that type of patience with they

359
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 2: just don't get that opportunity.

360
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: You're ready for a change. Pay Day comes early with Citizens,

361
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 5: So go to that retreat. Knew you move to the country.

362
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 5: Now you're raising goats and launching a lifestyle brand. Are

363
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: you ready for all that life brings?

364
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, Patients is a rare term that is practiced in

365
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: today's NFL. I think that's well said. Giants fans level winner.

366
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: It's why they love Citizens named the twenty twenty two

367

Speaker 3: best bank in the US by the Banker as the

368

Speaker 3: official bank of the Giants and sponsor of the Huddle.

Speaker 3: Citizens is made ready for fans of Big Blue. Learn

Speaker 3: more at Citizens bank dot com. Speaking of movement on

371
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: the offensive line, Russ I want to transition to storylines

372
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: in the postseason because I think one of the most

373
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: impressive teams has been the Cleveland Browns. If you brought

374
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: up Joe Flacco is maybe a Giants target this offseason.

375
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: Cleveland's been through four quarterbacks.

376
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 3: They lose Nick Chubb, they lost both starting tackles in

377
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 3: Jack Conklin and Jedrick Wills. And yet we're looking at

378
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: a team that won eleven games and who knows, maybe

379
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: able to go on a dangerous run of course, depending

380
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: on matchups. How did Cleveland manage to navigate issues that?

381
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: I mean even the Giants went through and had trouble

382
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: keeping afloat in that department.

383
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, so, number one, you know, Kevin Stefanski made the

384
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 2: hard decision to let go of his defensive coordinator after

385
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: last year, and Jim Schwartz came in and he's been fantastic, right,

386
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: I think Jim Schwartz is kind of just what they needed.

387
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: And in fairness, you know, they knew that they needed

388
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: to get better along the defensive line and they did

389
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: that right. They brought in guys like Dalvin Tomlinson and

390
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: they've been much better up front than they were last

391
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: year the last couple of years, so they've had arguably

392
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: the best defense in football all year. That's a pretty

393
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: darn good place to start. But to your point, I mean,

394
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: they lose their star running back, their franchise quarterback, and

395
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 2: not just their first two tackles, lance they lost Dwan Jones,

396
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: who was their third tackle. YEP, he's done for the year,

397
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: so they got essentially their fourth and fifth offensive tackles

398
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: out there. That usually sinks teams, right, Like, you can

399
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 2: lose one, maybe two, you lose your top three guys,

400
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: You're usually playing with guys that don't really give you

401
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: a chance to win the game. Bill Callahan, their offensive

402
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: line coach, deserves a ton of credit for that.

403
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: And then certainly bringing in.

404
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: Joe Flaco, and you know, it's a great look for

405
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: the Kevin Sefanski and the Browns.

406
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: I think he's the coach of the Year in the NFL.

407
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: I think it's a bad look quite frankly for the Jets, right,

408
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what was Flaco like one

409
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: to nine as a starter the last couple of years

410
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: when he got in for the Jets, and now you know,

411
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: he goes to Cleveland. He plays this well. Now, I'm

412
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: sure Flaco, for whatever reason's playing better. But man, you

413
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: got to give Stefanski a lot of credit. I think

414
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: I saw some more where they have twenty eight percent

415
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: of their salary cap is on IR That is just

416
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: unbelievable that they're still playing this well. And I'm kind

417
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: of I'm intrigued by them. I'm kind of rooting for them.

418
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: I think it'd be fun if Flacco could get them

419
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: on the run. You know, if they win that first

420
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: game against the AFC South Division champ, Joe Flacco will

421
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: have the NFL record for road victories for a starting quarterback.

422
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: That's amazing statistic. I mean, that's an impressive statistic. Winning

423
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: road playoff games is not easy.

424
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: No, that's a phenomenal statistic under the circumstances that he

425
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 3: wasn't even a member of the team that long ago.

426
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: In terms of what he's been doing in Cleveland.

427
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: As a quick follow up though to that, and I

428
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: think you make an excellent point. They could very well

429
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: beat the AFC South winner Ross because they've actually defeated

430
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 3: all three of those teams that are in the mix

431
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: to win the division. Can anyone challenge the Baltimore Ravens.

432
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 3: And if there is a team, do you think it's

433
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: Cleveland because they have familiarity within the division. Because right now, Ross,

434
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: that Ravens team looks like a well oiled machine based

435
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: on what they did to two of the top offenses

436
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

437
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: Playing really really well.

438
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: And what's interesting about them is the production they've gotten

439
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: in the pass rush without really having elite rushers, right.

440
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's why that decordinator Mike McDonald deserves a

441
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: ton of credit.

442
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: She get a head coaching job somewhere. You know.

443
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: Gidevion Clowney, It's like he's found the fountain of youth

444
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: down there.

445
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: Their scheme is so good, you know.

446
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: Heck, we saw it with Michigan, similar scheme with what

447
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: they were able to do against Alabama in.

448
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: The Rose Bowl.

449
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: I think there's three teams that could really give the

450
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: Ravens a good game. I think it's the Buffalo Bills

451
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: the way they're playing right now, and with having Josh Allen,

452
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: it's still the Chiefs. Man, it's still the Chiefs. And

453
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: I know that Dave's chuggled, but you know, let's put

454
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: it this way. Ravens fans, Ravens players, they wouldn't be

455
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: real happy with Patrick Mahomes Andy Reid coming to town.

456
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: I know they wouldn't, right, And then the last one's

457
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: Flaco and the Browns. You know, they wouldn't be afraid.

458
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: They play him twice a year. They're not intimidated by him.

459
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: And I know Ravens fans that would be like torture

460
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 2: to see Flaco come in to Baltimore and throw some

461
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: of those beautiful rainbows that he throws with the deep ball.

462
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: They've seen it. They've seen it in January football a

463
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: lot over the years.

464
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 3: And Cleveland already knocked off Baltimore thirty three thirty one

465
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: in a game they were trailing by double figures.

466
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I think the Browns are.

467
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: Definitely a team to watch out for because division rivals

468
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: always can be damaging come playoff time. Ross greatly appreciate

469
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,680
