1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. Hulet's go, let's go,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Let's go get my Giants. Give me some part of

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: the Giants Podcast Network's roll.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Giants Title Podcast, brought to you by Citizens,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: the official bank of the New York Giants. It's Giants

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: Title Rapid Reaction. My name is Madeleine Burke, alongside the

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz, and we're recapping Sunday Night

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: football as the Giants fell to the Buffalo Bills fourteen

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: to nine in a heartbreaker. Uh Victor, there were so

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: many moments, but it really just came down to that

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: last play too. After a PI call s at the

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Giants up at the one yard line, uh Tyrod Taylor

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: goes for Darren Waller in the back of the end zone.

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: There's a lot of jersey m Darren Johnson seemed to

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: have a handful of that, but no call was made

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: and the Giants fell in this one.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Yes, a tough way to lose.

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: You never want to harp on just one moment deciding

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: the game in this in this moment, because obviously there's

20
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: a couple of moments throughout the course of the game

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: that could have changed the complexion of this one.

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: But we got to go back to the last moment.

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: A lot of jersey tugging, a lot of pulling, a

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: passing aferance was called on just to play before that,

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: so to come back again, Buffalo defense banking on them

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: not throwing that flag again, letting the guys play on

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: the final final play of the game. And that's exactly

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: what happened. I got a lot of jersey tug Darren Waller

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: tried to go up with one hand and bring it down,

30
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: but unfortunately to Noville.

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you mentioned a pass interference play on the

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: game or on the play before as well. I mean

33
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: the Giants were on the field. First of all, Buffalo

34
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: goes down, the defense holds the Bills and they're in

35
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: field goal range and the kick goes wide right, and

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: so now it's fourteen to nine. The Giants have the

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: ball with a minute and a half left on the clock,

38
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: move the ball down the field. They're the ten yard line.

39
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor goes for Darren Waller there, but Terrell Bernard

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: gets called for the DPI as the clock expires, which

41
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: sets them up at the one yard line with no

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: time left, and as you said, like, they're not gonna

43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 2: keep throwing those flags. They're not gonna keep throwing those flags.

44
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: Bills dared them, and the ref said, you know what,

45
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: We're letting them play. And it's heartbreaking to see it

46
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: come down that way, especially there were a lot of

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: almost moments that the end of the first half. The

48
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: Giants are up six to nothing on the Bills. They're

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: at the one yard line with fourteen seconds left in

50
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: the half and an option play, and you see Tyrod

51
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: call the checkout and he addresses afterwards, gives the ball

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: to Saque. The defense takes forever to get up, the

53
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: clock expires, and the Giants head into the locker room

54
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: at the half without points.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one they're going to want to take back.

56
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I know.

57
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: The end of the game was a moment and a

58
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: call that obviously could have been called on a defensive

59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: passing apperance, But the one before the half, they're gonna

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: want that one back because it was poorly managed by

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 3: the quarterback or by the coaching staff, whoever you want

62
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: to say it was on. It was poorly managed at

63
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: the end of the half in order for Tyrod to

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: keep that pass play on to have maybe two opportunities

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: to get into the end zone or one and then

66
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: at the very least you kick the field goal and

67
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: get the three points. So that's definitely one that's probably

68
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 3: gonna haunt them a little bit tonight when they when

69
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: you know, when the entire team goes to sleep. But

70
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: it's one that you got a half and in this NFL,

71
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: in this league, you understand now, especially watching this game,

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: if you never knew before, touchdowns is what you need

73
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: in the red zone. You have to be able to

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: score touchdowns. That was a difference in our game today.

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: Got down there five times, got nothing to show for it,

76
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: and the opposing team obviously got down there. Buffalo got

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: down there twice and got two touchdowns. So that was

78
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: a difference maker of the game.

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: And especially though it's a tough bill to swallow if

80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: you're the Giants defense, who once again the second consecutive week,

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: wins the turnover battle. They have two takeaways today to

82
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: none for the Bills defense. The Bills didn't even get

83
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: into the red zone until the second half. This is

84
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: the first time since twenty nineteen the Bills have been

85
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: scoreless in the first half, so that's a huge thing

86
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: to hang your hat on if you're this Giants team

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: that was a heavy underdog in this game on Sunday

88
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: night football, and so you're going into the half with

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: a lead, a six to nothing lead. You get the

90
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: ball back to start the third quarter, and you'd like

91
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: to think that that momentum you keep going. But again,

92
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: that was just a tough one.

93
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a tough one. It just blew the

94
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: wind out of their sales. I think going into the

95
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: half and you try to regroup, make some adjustments. You're

96
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: kind of fired up because you getting the ball to

97
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: start the third quarter and you want to kind of

98
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: get your you know, get that edge back and kind

99
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: of avenge that moment that you didn't come through and.

100
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: Build another drive together.

101
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: But unfortunately we have to punt that on that drive

102
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: I believe coming out of the third quarter and give

103
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: them the ball back. But it was definitely a moment

104
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: end of the second half that they have to be

105
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: better in those situations moving down the stretch. I think

106
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: it was a combination of you know, giving Tyrod two

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: play calls for him to see a look and adjust

108
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 3: to it, and then secondly, Tyrod just not being in

109
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: that moment, you know enough at least recently that you

110
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: kind of have to prepare for those things. Those are

111
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: things that you kind of get into a flow of, Okay,

112
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: it's a minute left in the game, what are my options?

113
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: How many timeouts do I have? You know where away

114
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: on the football field.

115
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: Those are all things that kind of go through your

116
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: mind as as an athlete, as a competitor, and especially

117
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: as a quarterback as you start to navigate the complexion

118
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: of the game and understanding where you are and just

119
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: not being in that moment a lot this year. It's

120
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: tough to ask him of that now in this moment

121
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: which I feel like Tyrod played his hard out today.

122
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: You're ready for a change.

123
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: Payday comes early with citizens, So go to that retreat.

124
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: Knew you moves to the country. Now you're raising goats

125
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: and launching a lifestyle brand. Are you ready for all

126
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: that life brings? He really did, and considering this the

127
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: first time he's gotten a start as member of the Giants,

128
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: you know, this is the fifth different team that he

129
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: started with. He's played for Buffalo, Cleveland, the Chargers, Houston,

130
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: and of course Buffalo forty three of his fifty three

131
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: career starts were with the Bills from twenty fifteen to

132
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, so this is the place that he's very

133
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: familiar with. We talk a lot about the Brian Abele connection,

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: the Joe Shane connection, with Tyrod Taylor. Of course, getting

135
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: the start for an injured Daniel Jones who's out with

136
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: that neck injury this week, and one of the positives.

137
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: Though he passed for two hundred yards at another twenty

138
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: four yards rushing, he was getting the ball up very quickly.

139
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was huge for me, and that was something

140
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: that was glaring from the beginning of the game, was

141
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: getting the ball out quickly, which led to shots down

142
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: the field, which led to keeping that defense off balance,

143
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: which led to keeping Buffalo not knowing what was coming next,

144
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So I think that was

145
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: the benefit of getting the ball out quickly, letting those

146
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: playmakers play and make plays. Wandelle was doing a great

147
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: job of every time he caught the ball just knifing

148
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: up field, maximizing the amount of yards that you're gonna get,

149
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: maximizing yards after the catch, knifing up the field, getting

150
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: a first down every time you catch the ball, or

151
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: getting something close to a first down, So that was

152
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: just fun to see. So I love this game plan

153
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: that they put together for this week. I want them

154
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: to continue this game plan even when Daniel Jones comes back.

155
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: I want them to be able to understand or him

156
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: to understand that getting the ball out of his hands quickly,

157
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 3: hitting the underneath routes and let those guys work and

158
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: be athletes. Those are going to be the things that

159
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: going to help us win games. Those are going to

160
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: be the types of plays that will keep us in contention,

161
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: keep us ahead of the chains, and keep us in

162
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: very favorable down in distances, especially on third down.

163
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: Especially Yeah, and I mean you saw him getting some

164
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: big chunk plays there. Darius Slayton with a couple of

165
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: big catches, Jalen Hyatt with a huge catch. I think

166
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: it was a forty three yard game, barely gets his

167
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: toes toe drag swag. But of course that play is

168
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: called back because of a penalty, so the Giants don't

169
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: get to convert that one. But the ability to air

170
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: it out and to get that offense going to see

171
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: that spark that we've been missing has been a positive.

172
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: And seeing the offense come together in that way, especially

173
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: behind an offensive line that is still quite banged up.

174
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw Justin Pugh getting the start tonight.

175
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: He introduced himself on Sunday Night Football as Justin Pugh

176
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: straight off the couch, because he absolutely came in straight

177
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: off the couch. He had his first padded practice in

178
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: years earlier this year.

179
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out when he even recorded that

180
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: little snippet because he literally just got here like two

181
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: days ago.

182
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: I bet they pulled him over in the hallway walking

183
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: into the games. They'd be like, hey, can we get

184
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: a if you don't mind, But he did it. He

185
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: starts at left guard, and then of course early in

186
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: the game, josh A Zudu, who's been filling in for

187
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas left tackle, is out with a hamstring injury.

188
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: A Zudu leaves with a toe injury, so Pugh just

189
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: slides on over to left tackle. No big deal, the

190
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 2: veteran getting it done. And you know, having that much

191
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: change and turnover on the offensive line only six weeks

192
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: into the season for the Giants hasn't been easy, but

193
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: they were able to make it work.

194
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were able to make the best out of it.

195
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 3: Today at least and just try to figure out what

196
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: combination of offensive linemen worked best for them. I feel like,

197
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: obviously Justin Peugh's in that mix, and also just his

198
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: presence right him being a veteran guy, him understanding what

199
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: it is to play for the New York Giants, what

200
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: it is to be in these locker rooms, what it

201
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: is to be in those meeting rooms. And I'm sure

202
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: he can share some of that knowledge and share some

203
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: of his knowledge of the game to those guys, and

204
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: it'll be very beneficial that for that locker room and

205
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: for that meeting room. But he had a rough start

206
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: early on, but he anchored down. You start to see

207
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: him kind of get his bearings as the game more

208
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: on there. But this entire team, I think this entire

209
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 3: team played inspiring football. I think it's been our best

210
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: brand of football that we've put out there to date.

211
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: And it's something that we can hang our hats on,

212
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: not only as fans, but the players out there on

213
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: the field can hang their hats on that at least,

214
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: and it's something to build on for the coming weeks,

215
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: and we could string a couple of these games together

216
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 3: kind of put our best foot forward. Playing great against

217
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: great teams. Buffalo is no slouch obviously, as we all know,

218
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: they have a great team over there, and to only

219
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: hold him to fourteen points is pretty special with an

220
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: opportunity to win it at the end.

221
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing something right.

222
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: You love turf, You're good at it.

223
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: So you start a turf fiz.

224
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: Business grows, your savings grow, become the most celebrated name

225
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: in turfs? Are you ready for all that? Life rings

226
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: extremely special? And you know, I mean talking to you

227
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: earlier this week about coming back, he said, Hey man,

228
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm thirty three coming off in ACL. I'm going to

229
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: get beat a few times. Yeah, the key is to

230
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: bounce back and come back on the next play. And

231
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: that's what this Giant's team needs to do too, is

232
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: bounce back. Say Okay, we're going to get beat a

233
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: few times. You got to bounce back on. One of

234
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: the big bounce back moments today too, was having Saquon

235
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: Barkley returning to the field. He of course, is missed

236
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: the last three weeks without high ankle sprain. Back out there,

237
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: runs for ninety three yards, He had a thirty four

238
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: yard long and nineteen yard long. He had some big

239
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 2: chunk plays that We're like, that's the Saquon that we

240
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: know and expect. And that's another thing that is key

241
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: and imperative for this Giants offense to get going.

242
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, big time.

243
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: Once you get one of your leaders back in that

244
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: locker room, one of your leaders back on the football field,

245
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: it just pays dividends. Obviously from his play on the field,

246
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: but just his energy, his voice, his presence out there

247
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: always is going to pay dividends for this football team.

248
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: And obviously his production, I mean going out there started

249
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: off a little slow, shaking some of the rossed off,

250
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 3: but definitely making those big plays, finishing with ninety three

251
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 3: yards busting those two big runs the second half of

252
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: the football game. It showed that Saquan is healthy and

253
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: he's ready to explode and ready to continue to have

254
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: success on that football field. And it was fun to watch.

255
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: It was fun to watch and getting the offense going

256
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: a little bit. The defense once again, as we mentioned,

257
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: winning the turnover battle, Bobby o'caaky and Mike McFadden just

258
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: combining to get it done. Okaa, Kay punches out a

259
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: ball on Gabe Davis as he's tackling him. MIKEL McFadden

260
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: comes up with that. That's the first takeaway of the game.

261
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: Later on we see Okak tip the ball, McFadden grabs

262
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: it for interception.

263
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: Right there.

264
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: The fact that the defense is getting turnovers. In the

265
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: first few weeks of the season, there were negative eight

266
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: in the turnover differential. In the last two weeks they're

267
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: plus five. That's a trend that we want to see

268
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: keep going, especially going into week seven when you got

269
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders coming to met Life, a division game,

270
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: one that holds a little bit more significance.

271
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, defensively, I think this has always been one of

272
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: the bright spots this year. I think they've been the

273
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: most consistent group out there for us this year so far,

274
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: and they're the ones that we've kind of been getting

275
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: our energy from. Like they're making plays, they're getting stops,

276
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: and the offense is kind of playing complimentary off of them.

277
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: So we want to continue to play complimentary football on

278
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: all phases and the defense. If the defense carries us

279
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 3: one week and the offense has to play compliment to

280
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: them and vice versa, as long as it's all happening

281
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: together and it's all about complimentary football, both offense, defense

282
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: and special teams.

283
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: For us to win.

284
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: And as long as we're putting that forward weekend and

285
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: week out, we should have a chance.

286
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: Should have a chance. It's all you needed. And they'll

287
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: be back at MetLife Stadium with another chance on Sunday,

288
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: October twenty second, with the Washington Commanders come into town

289
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: in week seven. That's a wrap for your rapid reaction
