1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Giants dot com. I am John SCHMALKI

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: is Paul the Tino. The Giants coaching searches under way.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Don Wink Martindale has interviewed for the Giants head coaching

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: position and Paul. He's on the defensive side of the ball.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: He's been a defensive coordinator for a couple of seasons

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. Previously he had one year with the Broncos.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Otherwise a long time linebacking coach in the NFL and

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: in the college ranks, fifty six years old. Was not

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: a player in the NFL. As some coordinators and and

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: position coaches do graduate from the playing field over to

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: the sideline. This is a guy who did not have

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: any NFL playing experience, but a guy who certainly with

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the organizations you mentioned the Ravens and the Broncos, also

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: with the Raiders prior to that, uh, mostly worked with

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: linebackers other than being a coordinator. Uh So, you know,

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: look at that factor in that he has worked with

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: the guys who are usually in the heart of the

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: defense as opposed to maybe somebody who worked in the secondary. Yeah,

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: concern ear with the front and he is a three

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: four front guy's not a four or three front guys,

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: so that's first and foremost. And just looking at his

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: last two years at the Ravens, he only was a

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: d C for one year previously with Denver, so I

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: think the best thing to do is to take a

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: look at his last two seasons with the Ravens and

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,119
Speaker 1: what he's done. And the thing that jumped out to

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: me the most, Paul in examining what the Ravens have

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: done defensibly this year, is they are the heaviest blitz

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: team in the league and it's not close. They blitz

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: on fifty five percent of their defensive snaps against the

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: past The next highest is forty four, so that is

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: twenty three or so percent higher than any other team.

33
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: It's a increase over what um the Cardinals do, so

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: you know percent. This guy brings the heat early and

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: off it well. I think it's very interesting to note

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: that he was one of the finalists for the Associated

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: Press's NFL Assistant Coach of the Year award, and you

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: don't get on that list because they only name like

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: four five guys of all the assistance in the NFL

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: before they narrow it down. Now, he didn't win it.

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: But to get on that list shows that he has

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: commanded a tremendous amount of respect around the league. Yeah,

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: look the Ravens, and I'll go back to two thousand

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: and eighteen in a second, not a lot of people

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: paid attention to Baltimore. They weren't a very good team

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. They had a down year, dude, second

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: in the league in points allowed, first in the league

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: and yards allowed, second in past defense yards, third in

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: rush defense yards. So and he's built on that this year.

50
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Now he's gotten help from the dynamic offense that often

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: gets leads and stuff like that. But again this year,

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: fourth in yards per game, sixth in past yards per play,

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: the third in points allowed per game. Uh, the advanced

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: numbers in the d v o A numbers on defense

55
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: top six each of the last two years. So the

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Ravens have been a very, very aggressive and good defense

57
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: under his tutelage the last two seasons. Well, they play

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: in what many people think is kind of the black

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: and blue division of the a f C. The way

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: that they battered people around and and knocked them around. Uh,

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: think of it this way in one regard. In a way,

62
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: he's kind of like the third hardball coach because Jack

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Carbar Western Kentucky originally had Martindale as his assistant there

64
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: in the college ranks. And of course who's hardball hardball

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: is the coach of the Ravens. One brother there and

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the other hardball. We all know Michigan in San Francisco,

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and you know his his tenure in the NFL as

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: a coach. So you got Jack, who was one of

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: the deans of Family Coaching Trees, was the guy who

70
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: really kind of gave Martin Dale his first big taste

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: of what it was like to be a coach. Isn't

72
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: any surprise that he would have wound up with the Ravens.

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: And if you look at how the Ravens have generated

74
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: this defense this year, Paul, They've put a lot of

75
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: their investment and a lot of their big name players

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: in the secondary. You know, Marcus Peters, Marlon Humphries, Jimmy

77
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: Smith or Thomas Brandon car you know, those are where

78
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: their big time players are, Like Matt Judean and ti

79
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: As Bowser are their top pass rushers. He's you know,

80
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it's not like they have Za Darius Smith stel rushing

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: the past or it's rrell Suggs. They were there that

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: last year, not there in ten. So he's managed to

83
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: produce a lot of this pressure and have a really

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: good effective defense despite not having some of those premier

85
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: pass rushing. There have been some big names who have

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: left that Ravens defense over the years. Remember Super Bowl

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: forty seven, he was part of the He was part

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: of the assistant coaching corps there. He was a linebackers

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: coach at that time. You know Ed Reads not with

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: that Ravens defense anymore. Ray Lewis is not with that

91
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: defense anymore. But yet Baltimore's d continues to produce and

92
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: you have to feel the consistency of what he has

93
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: brought to the table has been part of that. And

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: of course, the number one seed in the a f

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: C can't go wrong with that. Paul, good stuff. We

96
