Lance Meado, Jeff Eagles, Paula Tino with 12 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: you as the Bears top the Giants twenty nine to 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: three that Soldier Field in Chicago. This was a game 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: in which the Bears jumped out to a fourteen nothing 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: lead off of two early Giants turnovers, never looked back 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: and as a result, now the Giants fall to four 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: and twelve. They have lost five straight seven in a 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: row on the road. The Bears make it two straight 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: winds as they improved to six and ten. A lot 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: to unravel. We will also hear from Joe Judge and 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,679 Speaker 1: the players as we move forward here on Mercedes Bands 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: Giants extra point and Jeff, I'll start with you. We 23 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: talked about this at the half. You can't give favorable 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: field position to the opposition. That unfortunately has been a 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: trend because of the turnovers that have piled up really 26 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: during the course of this losing streak, but the inability 27 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: also for the offense to get any semblance of a 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: passing game going to complement what was actually one of 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: the most productive rushing attacks. Yeah, I think that that 30 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: was one of the positives of the game, one of them, 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: well maybe the other one. Two takeaways for the defense 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: that might be the only two things we can really 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: talk about positively for this game. But you know, when 34 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: you are on an offense that is predictable and you 35 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: have a defense like the Bears, which is pretty good, uh, 36 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: that you can line up and you kind of understand 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: defensively what these guys are gonna do. Uh. It's hard 38 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: that Giants actually did a nice job running the football 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: against the Bears team that actually knew what they were doing. 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: Every single down. The Giants were minus ten yards passing. Folks. 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: That just tell you all you need to know whereas 42 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: they ran the ball forty times for a hundred sixty 43 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: one yards. Kwon Barkley, by the way, with his first 44 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: one hundred plus yard rushing game since Week fifteen, two 45 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: thousand nineteen at Washington got injury. Well, and I'm gonna 46 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: bring it pol to Tino too. I think expand upon 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: that point, Jeff, because you do bring up an interesting storyline, 48 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: at least if we are looking for a positive poll. 49 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: This was the site where in Week two last season 50 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: he suffers the season ending knee injury. So I guess 51 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: it is only appropriate that, at least from a big 52 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: picture perspective full performance, he put together his best shot 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: on the ground today with well over a hundred yards. Look, 54 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: let's put this running game in perspective today out of 55 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley. First of all, he had about fifty 56 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: yards rushing in the first half at about fifty and 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: the second half. He did not have a long game 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: longer than ten for the afternoon, which shows you this 59 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: was a workman like performance, the kind of performance that 60 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: nobody seems to believe that he can do, because every 61 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: he's so interested in him dancing for a home run. 62 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: No today. He grinded out the ugly yards. You can't 63 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: get twenty one carries for a hundred and two yards 64 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: and have a long of ten without being a grinder. 65 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: He only had three carries today of zero or minus yards. 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: He had a minus one, a minus two, and a zero. 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: That's it. Everything else was a grind it out, grind 68 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: it out, grind it out. This this to me, was 69 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: a very significant game for Barkley. This was a game 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 1: where he proved to a lot of people a lot 71 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: of stuff that they've been saying he can't do. And 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: it also came in a game where, let's face it, 73 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: the Bears knew the Giants are gonna run the football 74 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: absolute McClinton only attempted eleven passes, plus you take it 75 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the consideration the fourth sacks, so fifteen dropbacks. And despite that, 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: with some additional guys in the box, say Kwan, Barkley 77 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: able to still have a very productive game on the ground. 78 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: We will step aside, will get more into the ups 79 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: and downs where the Giants says they have now lost 80 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: five in a row. They fall to the Bears twenty 81 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: nine to three at Soldier Field. Will be back right 82 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: after this.

One 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: of two takeaways for the Giants after they had gone 95 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: through a stretch where they were struggling to make those 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: opportunistic plays in recent contests. If you look at that breakdown, 97 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: they had zero takeaways in three of the previous four 98 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: games before this one against Chicago. And the reason why 99 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: that is the play of the game because it did 100 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: some damage control. Considering on the play prior Mike Glennan 101 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: was sacked lost another fumble. Bears took over at their 102 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: own forty four and on the very first past, Andy 103 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: Dalton picked off by James Bradberry. As we welcome you 104 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: back to Mercedes Ben's Giants extra point Lance meato Jeff 105 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: Eagles pulled the Tino with you. Bears top the Giants 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: twenty nine to three. Is the Giants now have lost 107 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: seventh straight on the road. This was also the fourth 108 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: straight year that these teams were meeting third time in 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: a row in Chicago. Last three meetings were decided by 110 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: five points or less. This certainly followed a very different script, 111 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: and that brings us to the game breakdown, brought to 112 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: you by your local Forward stores visit by Ford now 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: dot com. Forward the official vehicle of the New York Giants, 114 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: and for that we take you through some team statistics. 115 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: In terms of total yardage in this game, the Giants 116 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: did end up with a hundred fifty one. They only 117 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: had sixty five at the half, mainly be because the 118 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: negative passing yards is what brought that tally down, even 119 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: though at the half they had eighty one rushing yards 120 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: Bears in comparison two hundred forty nine total yards. In 121 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: this game. The rushing attack was in favor of the 122 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: Giants won sixty one to eighty seven. But the Giants 123 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: were just one for eleven on third down. They did 124 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: not have any red zone opportunities. The Bears were three 125 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: for five. Keep in mind, this was one of the 126 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: biggest struggles for Chicago entering this game. The Bears came 127 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: in thirty in the NFL in red zone offense. Yet 128 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: today they get five opportunities. They cash that in for 129 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Their red zone offense coming in was twenty 130 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: one touchdowns in forty three opportunities. And that's what happens, Jeff, 131 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: when you shortened the field right for a team. Because 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: the Bears, with the exception of that one drive where 133 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: they went right eleven place seventy five yards, the Giants 134 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: never really put the Bears in a situation where Andy 135 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: Dalton and company had to march down the length of 136 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: the field. They had two short fields right off the 137 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: bat because of the two turnovers, and you know, the 138 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: Giants go down fourteen nothing right away, and obviously, you know, 139 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: if you're a Chicago Bears uh team, you know that 140 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: the Giants have difficulties scoring. You just proved that point 141 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: and the fact that they never got into the red zone, 142 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: So I mean absolutely, So you know those types of 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: field position, and then also you talk about field position. 144 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Fuel position is a product of a lot of different things, 145 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: but one of the big things about it is special teams. 146 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: And so you had a big print penalty on a 147 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: punt that minus twenty five crossing a penalty that costs 148 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the team twenty five yards um that backs your team 149 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: back up. So that's that's yardage. And then the other 150 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: one at the end of the half. Uh, you know 151 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: where you have Pararell Cooper who just you know, you 152 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: gotta understand what rent rent wrong there and you gotta 153 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: you gotta know where that football is. That's fuel position again. 154 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: So and another drive for the you know they end 155 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: up again get a safety there and then so it's yeah, 156 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: it's all builds into itself there. Well, Jeff, the average 157 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: field position for the game Chicago from their own forty 158 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: two the Giants book their own Ya, that's almost, that's 159 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: almost at midfield. That's it's ridiculous. Well, and Jeff, I 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: want to piggyback off of your point and Paul, I'll 161 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: bring you in for this because what Jeff was hitting 162 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: on that was really a backbreaking development. Right late in 163 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: the second quarter the Bengals, and the Bengals excuse me, 164 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: were watching the Pengals Chiefs game. That's why Kenny distracted. 165 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: The Bears wild up scoring eight points in the last 166 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: minute four seconds, Paul, And they get the field goal 167 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: for some reason. Pharall Cooper, who's a veteran return man 168 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: we're not talking about any experienced guy, just makes the 169 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: assumption the ball is gonna bounce into the end zone 170 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: for a touchback. So now the Giants are at their 171 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: own five, they get a safety, and then the Bears, 172 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: because the time outs, wind up tacking on a field goal. 173 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I know they were down by a lot 174 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: at that point, Paul, but that was just a huge 175 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: turning point in terms of sucking any sense of momentum 176 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: away from the Giants. Well look at it this way, 177 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: lands Uh, In the final two minutes of the first 178 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: half combined this season, the Giants have been outscored seventy 179 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: three to nothing. And and to make matters worse, not 180 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: that they were in any good shape anyway, down twenty 181 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: two three and a half, but then the Bears get 182 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: the opening kick off from the third quarter, and what 183 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: do we talk about all the time, Jeff the double 184 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: dip and the Bears get the double dip. You know, 185 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean again, not that at twenty two three it 186 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: was it was gonna look good for the Giants anyway, 187 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: because it wasn't. But then the Bears get the double dip. 188 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: It's interesting though, because on the course of the afternoon 189 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: and you're right lands because of the field position, it's hard. 190 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: I know, the defense gave up a few plays, but 191 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: it's very difficult to hold their feet to the fire 192 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: when you consider they only gave up two drives of 193 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: longer than forty yards on the afternoon, and then there 194 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: was a third drive that was only thirty nine yards. 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, what more? You know, Yeah, I get it, 196 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: all right, They're gonna say every time we take the field, 197 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: we need to prevent the other team from scoring points. 198 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: I get that, But I mean, seriously, a rational person 199 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: can not really put their feet to the fire today. Well, 200 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: they were put in a very precarious spot right at 201 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. David Montgomery one play two 202 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: yards for a rushing score that was off the strip sack, 203 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: which was on the very first play of the game, 204 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: and then seven plays twenty four yards Andy Dalton to 205 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney from four yards out. I mean, those were 206 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: the two Bears offensive possessions that got them up fourteen 207 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: nothing and twenty nine points. Totally reject those two. Fourteen 208 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: points is a fifteen to three game, your your score? 209 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, fifteen points for a defense, I know that 210 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: it's not it's not granted, it's been a struggle for 211 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: this offense to score fifteen points. Is that? You know? Again, 212 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: like to to Paul's point, is this defense, you know, 213 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: they tried to do the best they could and they're 214 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: putting these precarious situations. It doesn't, It just doesn't. You know, 215 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: it's hard. Plus even even the third down efficiency Chicago 216 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: was six of sixteen for thirty seven percent. I mean, 217 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, again, that's a respectable number for any defense 218 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: because the two touchdown drives, they didn't even have to 219 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: face a third down barely because they had such favorable 220 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: spots off of the takeaways. So that was a big 221 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: development early on as the Bears cruise to a twenty 222 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: nine three victory over the Giants. Chicago now at six 223 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: and ten overall, the Giants falling to four and twelve 224 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: Giants wild wrap up this season at home next Sunday 225 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: against Washington.

It made 246 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: it fourteen to three, but the Bears would then score 247 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: fifteen unanswered points to go on to win twenty nine 248 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: to three. As we welcome you back to Mercedes Benz 249 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: Giants extra point Lance Meadow Jeff Eagles pulled the Tino 250 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: with you as the Bears jumped out to a fourteen 251 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: nothing lead in this game, and the Giants offense had 252 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: to play catch up, which they pretty much have been 253 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: doing throughout this entire losing streak, which has now hit 254 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: five overall and seven on the road. It is now 255 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: time to name the player of the game, brought to 256 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: you by the members and contractors of Local eight Operating 257 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: Engineers Elective Building our Future. And even though it was 258 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: an offensive struggle, sa Kwan Barkley certainly still deserving of 259 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: being named the player of the game. Twenty one carries 260 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: a hundred two yards. He helped the Giants run for 261 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: a buck's sixty one, which came close to their season high, 262 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: but it just fell short. They actually had a season. 263 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: I have a hundred sixty three rushing yards in Week 264 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: two at Washington, So this is the second highest mark 265 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: for the Giants on the ground, but for Barkley from 266 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: an individual standpoint, to get over the century mark, given 267 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: what he had to go through last season, given what 268 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: he had to deal with Jeff, this season certainly worth 269 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: noting because you got to go back to the tail 270 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: end of that two thousand nineteen campaign, and as we 271 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: were discussing earlier, it wasn't as if they were getting 272 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: twenty yard runs thirty yard runs. It was small chunks 273 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: long as run was ten. Yeah, and I think Paul 274 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: made a good point. You know, this is a lot 275 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: of things that people didn't think to say Kwan could do. 276 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's a minus one plus two, a minus 277 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: two plus four, and then the sixty yard or so. 278 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, all those yarders come from big plays. But 279 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: you know, this is the this is what you want 280 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: to see out of Sa Kwon Barkley. And one thing 281 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: that I did see out of him, and actually that 282 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: I've seen out of him the last couple of games, 283 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, even though the yard is numbers 284 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: weren't there. I still think I saw a lot of 285 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: the North South running hitting the holes quickly. Obviously, we 286 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: know that the offensive line has had some trouble and 287 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: so those holes seem to be evaporate quickly. But I 288 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: saw a lot of downhill running, very aggressive running style 289 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: out of him today, and I think that he's just 290 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: becoming more and more healthy and uh, going into next season, 291 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: that's a good sign. I'll be very interested, Jeff to 292 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: see the final total on his yardage after contact today. Yeah, 293 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: I guarantee you it was the season high. I don't necessarily, 294 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's a career high, because 295 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: he's had some phenomenal games, especially when he was a rookie, 296 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: but it's got to be a season high. And I 297 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, what I did like out of Freddie Kitchens 298 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: today was the fact that they did run a lot 299 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: of wildcat with him and that seemed to be working, 300 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they went back to it a 301 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: few times, and I think that, you know, that's something 302 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: that you can put a wrinkle in an offense that 303 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: really is not productive and you kind of change a 304 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: little change of pace offensively for the Obviously, obviously the 305 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: Bears have not seen a lot of that, so that 306 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: was something they put in this week. Well. And I 307 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: think what jumped out to me about Barkley's performance. I 308 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: think Paul was alluding to this is the fact that 309 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: he was also making people miss at the second level 310 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: once he got beyond the line of scrimmage. And that's 311 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: not something we've seen forget Barkley out of Booker and 312 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: even some of the other running backs, it's been a 313 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: struggle to just get to the second level and then 314 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: force more people to miss. Well, you know, Lance, look 315 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: at this right, We've we've been hearing comments and justifiably so, 316 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: because Booker does, going into today lead the team in 317 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: rushing right today, only eighteen carries for forty six yards 318 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: for a two point six yards per carry average for Booker. Now, 319 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to disparage him in any way because 320 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: I think he's done Yoman's work as the one a 321 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: running back for a team that is offensively challenged. But 322 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, that was the same line that he and 323 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: Barkley were both running behind today. And we we often hear, well, 324 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: Booker lowers his shoulder and he's willing to get the 325 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: dirty yards and Barkley dances. Well, today neither guy danced, 326 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: and Barkley was clearly the much more productive back unfortunately, 327 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: and you I think we're alluding to this point, it 328 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: did not rans late to any points. And here we 329 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: go again. As you look at the numbers throughout the 330 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: course of the season, offense has scored twenty one points 331 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: or less thirteen times in sixteen games, twenty or less 332 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: twelve times. And then you look at less than ten 333 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: or ten or less, to be more exact, four of 334 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: the last five games, Jeff, at which they have had 335 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: ten points or less. And you look at a game 336 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: when a team runs for a hundred sixty one yards 337 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: and gets four yards per carry. And once again, for 338 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: giants standards, Okay, I know for league standards, it doesn't 339 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: necessarily jump off the bate. For Giant standards, it should 340 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: given how much of a struggle it's been upfront, But 341 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: they just can't finish draw. It does stand off the page. 342 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: It just jumps off the page. The problem that really 343 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: overshadows that is the turnovers. Four turnovers jump off the 344 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: page two because number one, you can't turn the ball 345 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: over four times in any NFL game, whether you're at 346 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: home or on the road. And most importantly, you turn 347 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: the ball over on the road like that, you were 348 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: never gonna win games. Um, And you know, fortunately for 349 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: the Giants, they got two takeaways. They did nothing with 350 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: them because the offense can't do anything. So and I 351 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: know that's your pet peeve, you have to take away 352 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: what do you do with him? But you know, as 353 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: far as the offense goes, uh, when you are not balanced, 354 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: and this team is not balanced offensively, especially today, when 355 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: you throw for negative ten yards, I don't care how 356 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: many yards you rush for, you're still gonna be in 357 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: your down in a game that you're losing. You're gonna 358 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: have to throw the football. You can't just win the 359 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: game by running the football. You don't have that luxury. 360 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: And that's what was The other thing that I think 361 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: that's very interesting about this game is that Joe Judge 362 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: had said all week he would prepare both quarterbacks for 363 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: the possibility to play. The fact that despite Glennan's very 364 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: very serious struggles, we never saw Jane from today and 365 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: this game was a blowout, and you certainly could have 366 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: made the argument that, Okay, give Jake from another chance 367 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: after what happened last week, and let's get him in 368 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: the game. Clearly, the Giants felt that he was not 369 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: ready to put his best foot forward. I mean, I 370 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: can't think of any other reason why they wouldn't have 371 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: given him some snaps. Well, it also says a lot 372 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: about the state of the passing game overall, no matter who. Well, 373 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: it also tells you that you know they're they were 374 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: sticking with the veteran I mean, even though Mike Lennon 375 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: was not. I mean, he's clearly not ready to come in, 376 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: Jake Frown, He's just really not ready to play. I 377 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: think that's obvious. I think that you know. The problem too, 378 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: is that this was a team that was behind the 379 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: aprill the whole game, and you put a rookie guy 380 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: in there who just has very, very is so green 381 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: around the guild. You can you imagine if he starts 382 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: to turn the ball over at even more pace than 383 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: Mike Glennon was, this game gets way out of hand. 384 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: The coaches press conference, brought to you by Mercedes Ben's 385 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: official luxury vehicle of the New York Giants. Joe Judge 386 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: speaking with reporters following the loss. Well, guys, look, obviously 387 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough today. Okay, marks were simple, Alright, we 388 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: talked to team all week. Three. Things wanted to do 389 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: was run the ball stopped running cover kicks, I'd say 390 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: for the most part, we're running ball decently as a 391 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: team today. We get some movement going on, like the 392 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: way the runbacks ran hard with it makes some productive 393 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: runs down the way we had to be productive the 394 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: run game when they knew we had to run the 395 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: ball when we were only running, aren't stopping run this 396 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: the balanced team was a very good run attack. Um. 397 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: Please with the way the defense overall today overall was 398 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: able to limit them in the run game and not 399 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: let them get going on the the track that had been 400 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: the past of some games. And for you know, multiple 401 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: reasons in terms of covering kicks, we didn't let their 402 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: explosive playmakers and return game get going. Now, all that 403 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: being said, all right, you can't have success in this 404 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: like when you turn the ball over the way we did. 405 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: When you create short fields for a team, Okay, every 406 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: team's gonna take advantage of that with the types of 407 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: position we gave the team. You can't have mistakes in 408 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the kicking game like we had the end of the 409 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 1: first half. That's a five point mistake. We can't do that. 410 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: It's not acceptable. It's not gonna be tolerated. So in 411 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: terms of you know how the team played looked. One 412 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: thing I'm repeatedly proud of is the way they play 413 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: and they finish, and they fight, and they played for 414 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: each other and they can showed up to work. They 415 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: practice hard to the Pairwell, all right, the reality is 416 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: we gotta limate the things that are mistakes, give ourselves 417 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: an opportunity and chance for success. And overall we talk 418 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: about the big marks we had to hit, but ultimately 419 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: one of those big marks, the turnovers right there early 420 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: in the game, set us behind a good deal and 421 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't do enough to overcome it. So 422 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: that being said, a lot of credit to the Bears. 423 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: You know, Matt and his team came out today, did 424 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: a better job than we did, and they deserve to 425 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: have success. So that being said, in question Jack, coming 426 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: into the game, was it your planned to run that 427 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: much or did the bands start in the passing game 428 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: given more than the plan was to run that much? 429 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: That was a plan in the game, you know, And 430 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: there's obviously different adjustments we can make within the game, 431 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: but we knew we were gonna come in today. It 432 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: was gonna be run the ball stopped to runcover kicks. 433 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: That was it going yards. I'm not here to argue 434 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: the debate about stats. Jordan is what it is. Yeah, 435 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. It wasn't good 436 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: enough place scrige Mike supposed to be just uh look 437 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: like where Matt looked like where mapped up as a 438 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: five in protect from mappedup five for five A long way. 439 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: There's obviously ways to handle the you know, free rushers 440 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: coming off. I'm not gonna go on everything schematically and 441 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: what we did. Obviously it wasn't you know, it wasn't 442 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: good enough right there, recognition. I'm just gonna keep it 443 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: as obviously from an offensive standpoint, it wasn't good enough 444 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: right there. All right, I'm not gonna go into your 445 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: dissect and everything Mike did today, but we're gonna be 446 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: more productive and do better things in offense. Even the 447 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: fact that they obviously knew you were going to run 448 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: you know a lot as you think SA handled that 449 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: in terms of this production and did a good job. 450 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: Then there was a lot of times we were loaded 451 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: boxes and we say, hey, look we're run. Either way, 452 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: we knew going into the game. At some point they 453 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: were gonna recognize the game plan was to run, run, run, 454 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, we're playing seven offensive alignment at a time. 455 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of things in those boxes. 456 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: Seven alignment, they obviously load the box, but the bigger 457 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: personnel one we're still to be productive in the run game. 458 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: That was it. I thought the stake one did a 459 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: good things. A couple of times I had him in 460 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: the backfield with some blitzer of pressures. He hable to 461 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: slip out and make something out of nothing at certain times, 462 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: but he ran hard and ran with good ball security. 463 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: But he went out there and really plays a good 464 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: team player today and fought to the end. I think 465 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: about a lot of things, but the decisions made today 466 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: were decisions are best for the team's Thank you get 467 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: you can seems like a give up. No, definitely was 468 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: not a give up play, but the thought process of 469 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: maybe a bust of sub run right there. But also, 470 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: at the same time, as you alluded to, does it 471 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: put us in more of a you know, aggressive fourth 472 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: down men, townty, It doesn't be part of the game 473 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: plan today. If we've got ourselves in those type of 474 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: zones and those ranges on fourth down, there are things 475 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna consider to be aggressive and go for right 476 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: there illustration, No, just the plant that he was runningball, 477 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: because you know that's not really what I ever unsed. 478 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: So you know, obviously didn't do enough. Well, we don't 479 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: anything going really in the passing game. But in terms 480 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: of the run game, you know, we committed to it. 481 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: We're about some production on it, put some some positions 482 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: that we had manageable third nouns obviously to do well 483 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: enough from that zone either, So why didn't you think 484 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: you weren't going to be able to Well? What was 485 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: it that concertain Just because you choose to run the 486 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: ball doesn't mean because you have a you know, absence 487 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: of faith in another aspect of it. Sometimes you go 488 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: and you say, how can we go ahead and play 489 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: our best football today? You know, there's a number of 490 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: things you look at throughout the week, where that's health 491 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: of players, availability of players, whether there's weather situations where 492 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: it's something about their defense that you think matches up well. 493 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: Whether it's just an aspect of your game that you 494 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: have to do better in and set the tone for 495 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: how you're going to play. So there's multitud of reasons 496 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: right there. It's not one thing that triggers Hey, we 497 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: can only do one thing right there, But we felt 498 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: the best chance for success today was a run the ball, 499 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: and again that was our mark coming in. We had 500 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: to run the ball better. You don't stop throwing the 501 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: cover kicks. That was in the three big things that do. 502 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: And then obviously it always falls under ball security, right 503 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: turnovers Alright, the penalty mends them too. Referred to that 504 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: just awareness and where they were on the field or 505 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: this communication or yeah, I didn't talk directly to Croup. 506 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: I talked to the coaches obviously on that one there, 507 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: and make sure that we're straighten out on that um. 508 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: That definitely demonstrates that we didn't know we were on 509 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: the field at that moment in time and letting the 510 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: thing go. You know, that's not except that's not except 511 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: it was earlier the same thing, well barely so when 512 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: they're kicking to the left of our bench. Yeah, with 513 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: the trajectory that kick on that one right there, kyro 514 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: uh really having a thing more on align that he 515 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: knew was going to go in the goal on there 516 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: even it's gonna just barely clear, But you've got to 517 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: be aware in that situations of what the wind is, 518 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: what the kick looks like, the height. It comes off 519 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: the tea with all those things factoring play Dyer is 520 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: my straight losses, but nople fingures and you concerned with 521 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: your future and my focus don't get this team prepared 522 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: for next week in Washington. That's it. I'm never worrying 523 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: or addressing hypotheticals or anything of that nature. Damn. My 524 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: focus on this team getting them ready. They come in 525 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: and work for me every week. The thing I owe 526 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: them is having them prepared and ready and getting a 527 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: position of success. That's It's something I'm concerning with right now. Damn. 528 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: Let's say question, yeah, worry hey, Joe, can you hear me? 529 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: That's hey? Two things? Why was Booker the right choice 530 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: there when you got the safety instead of say Kwan, 531 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: Why was book or the guy to get the ball? 532 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: And is the offensive line giving you guys a chance 533 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: in the passing game. It's easy for us to look 534 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: at the quarterback numbers. Is the offensive line giving you 535 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,239 Speaker 1: a chance? All right? I'm not gonna go into kind 536 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: of like full unit evaluations right now. I'm gonna watch 537 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: tapes who correction with the making way do better in 538 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: terms of book reverse Kuan. We have confidence in all 539 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: of our players. We have confidence all of our backs. 540 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: So whether it's you know, say Kuan for this or 541 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: Book for that, you know, look, we have confidence these 542 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: guys that they're specific schemes at times for certain backs 543 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: you from the game plan. But in terms of you know, 544 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: a guy for a base run, base play, you know, look, 545 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: get the guy that's fresh in there, keep rotate on three, 546 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: keeping fresh throughout the game with a confidence both guys. 547 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: Both guys are running well, Tom News Day Joe's two things. 548 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: Did the run first game plan come about more towards 549 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: the end of the week when you found out you 550 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: weren't gonna be with two of your key receivers because 551 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: of the COVID and the Tony injury, Well, we knew 552 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: some of the personnel issues we're gonna have about midweek, Tom, 553 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: So about the time we got into the game plan 554 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: and practicing on field, we were aware some of the 555 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: things we have to deal with. But in terms of 556 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: just the game plan and stuff, there are a lot 557 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: of things a factor and what today could have been. 558 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: You know, one point this week they were calling for 559 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: over four to mile our wins. That's something you gotta 560 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: think about in terms of how you manage pass game, 561 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: run game, what you do. You don't base everything on 562 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: that because actually whether reports changed, you go. But it 563 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: makes you put in certain things and aspects of the 564 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: game plan that gives you flexibility within situation that may 565 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: not be controllable, okay outside of your own in terms 566 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: of you know, what we do game plan wise, and 567 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: we felt the best plan for team that success today 568 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: was to run the ball. I like the way the 569 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: team ran the ball. I like to where to get 570 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: the ball downhill and the types of runs we ran. 571 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: I was pleased with that. Obviously, you can't have the 572 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: mistakes and the turner's early in the game you got 573 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: a spot of team four teen plus points and then 574 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: you know you do that other you know, mistakes can 575 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: compound on top of that. The second one, what Joe 576 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: was about. You kept saying about the kickoff return. The 577 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: lack of a kickoff return not not acceptable, not acceptable? 578 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: I mean, what what are the consequences of that? At 579 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: this point, We're gonna make sure we get everything cleared 580 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: out and ironed out and make sure that we don't 581 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: make that mistake again. And that's the biggest thing you 582 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: have to understand. There, all the players and coaches were 583 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: just not gonna allow that mistake to happen again. So 584 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: let's not look for any kind of overreaction or reading 585 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: between the lines right there. It's just something we got 586 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: to make sure we get correct and fixed. We'll take 587 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: two more here, Matt lamartin, Hey, Joe, Um, you kept 588 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: saying that you know your job is to get you 589 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: guys prepared to play. I'm ready to go out there. 590 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Do you feel like you guys were prepared to play 591 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: today and it was kind of a result of maybe 592 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: being up against it from an injury standpoint and all 593 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: of those things, or what do you think was a 594 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: big picture issue? Mean, especially falling behind earlier on the 595 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: first play of the game. Look, everything comes under my umbrella, right, 596 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna deflect something or say that I'm 597 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: not response for anything. I'm response for everything. So let's 598 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: make that clear from the jump. Okay, I'm not gonna 599 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: ever push blames someone else or look for someone else 600 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: to go ahead and step up, all right and take 601 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: something off my shoulders. All right, That's what I signed 602 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: up for. That's what the deal is, you know, in 603 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: terms of you know, preparation. They're a good team. They're 604 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: well coached. Uh, I could say there's really not much 605 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: that we saw today we weren't directly to prepare for 606 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and things that we anticipated having and coming our way. 607 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: But we're able to handle lot of things in the 608 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: run game positively. Obviously didn't do a good enough job 609 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: in the past past game, you know, overall as a team, 610 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, defensively, you know, we had a feel on 611 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: how this game was gonna go a little bit when 612 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: they announced Dalton as a quarterback. I'd say for the 613 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: most part that held true, all right, and our focus 614 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: on stopping the run still remained primary focus. There's a 615 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: couple of drives you got in there, made some you 616 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: know plays moving down the field, hit some soft zones 617 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: at certain times where a position to make some you 618 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: know PV using interception at the times we gotta capitalize 619 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 1: on those. We did in a couple, all right. And 620 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: then the kicking game. We knew this would be an 621 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: aggressive type of game plan from them, and from trying 622 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: to get the return game going with a couple of 623 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: things we put in throughout the week and make sure 624 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: we can neutralize that's right there, Grants and explosive returner. 625 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: He really is that return games a large aspect of 626 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: what their offense does. So we had to make sure 627 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: we went ahead and take took away that strength as 628 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: a team so we can play for the field position there. 629 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: So in terms of being prepared, obviously, if you don't 630 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: come out and have success, there's a lot of things 631 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: you gotta correct and adjust to move forward with. That's 632 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: our focus right now. Last one here via zoom pro Schwarz, 633 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: New York Coast. Hey, Joe, Um, obviously you said that 634 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: the goal was to come out and run the ball. 635 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: And um, you know, when you fall behind fourteen nothing 636 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: right away, you know that's a hard it's a hard 637 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: road to go right there, and you're down so much. So, 638 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean the way that game started, Um, I don't 639 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: know if you'd use the word embarrassing, what would word 640 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: would you use? Maybe you would use that word for 641 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: how this game started and then how it evolved, just 642 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: like simply put. You know, we went down four team points, 643 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: we weren't gonna abandon the game plan. So the focus 644 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: will stick with the game plan. Keeper on the ball, 645 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: be productive. You know at that point in the game, guys, 646 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: it's a two possession game, right you saw we got 647 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: defense out there, they will make a stop. We've got 648 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: to keep playing to that. We gotta play to our 649 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: defense and trust they're gonna keep making stops. So offense, 650 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: we gotta stick to the game plan and grind it up. 651 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: Put ourselves in a position that's are at the course 652 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: of the game. We keep playing good defense, we have 653 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: success offensively and put ourselves down. You know, look to 654 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: go at me, aggress on suppourt towns, it field goals 655 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: when we got to hit them, push to go ahead 656 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: and get first downs in right, Eric, we have to 657 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: and get the ball in the end zone. Yeah, and 658 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: they're on the they're ahead.

It's supposed to be a tough place 669 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: to be certain cities in this country that I mean 670 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: know if the team is playing today, all right, So 671 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: you sign up for your job in the city like 672 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: New York, you expect to have this. I'm a shy 673 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: away from that. I don't worried about that at all. 674 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: But we talk internally. You look at a lot of 675 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: things moving in the right direction, and you know the 676 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: targets of what you have to improve going forward. The 677 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: important thing is when you know the direct targets of 678 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: what you have to improve. And no, I'm not going 679 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: to go individually in these today, all right, but when 680 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: you know the direct targets of exactly what you've got 681 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: to hit, all right, and you look at what you've 682 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: got to make in a short term and go ahead 683 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: and make a quick turnaround to building things that you've 684 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: done well. Right. I say, at all the time, there's 685 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: things we've done well. We gotta build one, right, So 686 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: we look at overall we're doing. There's a number of 687 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: things going in the right direction that we know they 688 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: are foundational things and things you have put in place 689 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: for a team to have success on and off the field, 690 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: on and off the field. Okay. The important thing is 691 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: when you have those direct targets, you gotta find a 692 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: way to minimize the things, okay, that you struggle with, 693 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: and you work your hardest to go ahead and make 694 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: sure you give yourself and your team a chance for 695 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: success by try to take certain aspects away from the 696 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: game so it can't expose you as a weakness. Okay, 697 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: and then you want to play your strengths as much 698 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: as possible. All right. There's certain aspects and things that 699 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, you see on tape from around the league. 700 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: And I talked to you guys all time.

Right, 726 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: So when I asked someone just individual, I asked a player, 727 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna tell me whatever I want to hear. I 728 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: asked the coach, same type of thing.

I'm 735 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: not going to individuals. They can talk from themselves later on, 736 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: but you know, we have One guy said, I've never 737 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: be done a playoff contention. I never knew it was 738 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: like to be in a position where you're actually playing games, 739 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: not to be in playoffs or improved seating or whatever 740 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: it may be, or get in the playoffs. You know, 741 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: didn't know what to expect when we're officially limited. It 742 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: was almost an expectation that player, how is everyone's going 743 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: to react? Kind of getting ready to come to himself 744 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: and try to get everyone going and rally the team 745 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. Okay, And then another player spoke up 746 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: and said that they've never been in playoff contention period. 747 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: All right. They weren't present with us last year throughout 748 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: the remainder of the season for a certain reason to 749 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: even being at last year as he played on a stretch. 750 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: Both guys had the same response, stuff, everybody on the 751 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: team is locked in every other.

Okay, there's a lot of 755 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 1: teams right now. They're out of playoff contention. Okay, where's 756 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,919 Speaker 1: golf clubs in the locker room or people are planning 757 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: vacations outside of it? All right, there's a lot of 758 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: fingerpoint and blaming and shout all that type of stuff, right, 759 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: all that stuff we don't have in our building. Any 760 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: of that. We ain't any of that. Our guys know 761 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,959 Speaker 1: we have one more week this year to be this team. 762 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: They know we have one more week this year to 763 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: be this team, and they expect me to show up 764 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: and every ounce of football I got me this next 765 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: week at that like thet everything out of me.

The expectation here is I expect 768 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: every ounce of football you've got inside of you. Okay. 769 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: And there's things we have a line right now. There's 770 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: things we have in place and where certain units are 771 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: playing and certain players are playing. And we got some 772 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: foundational core guys and know the culture strong. All right, 773 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now. You guys always asked 774 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: about that off the field stuff and why the hell 775 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: is so important of culture. So I'm gonna tell you 776 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: right now, all right, a few years ago before I 777 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: came here. When I came here, I sat down all 778 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: the players, and I want to know what it was 779 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: like and here what we had to change on here 780 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: from their mounts alright. To a man, every player looked 781 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: me in the eye and said, Joe, it's not a team. 782 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: They don't play hard. We're out of playoffs. Everybody quit, 783 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: Everybody tapp they stop shouping, captain's meetings, all that stuff, right, 784 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,399 Speaker 1: they tapped out. Okay, I'm in a part of Team 785 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: Gail's places, okay, and I'm gonna trying to make this 786 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: place anywhere else I've been, but lessons I've learned. Let 787 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: me tell you something right now, all right. In two 788 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: thousand eighteen, I was part of a team who, halfway 789 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: through the season, all right, we were all pretty convinced 790 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: we're getting fired anything, we're gonna make the playoffs. Had 791 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: no concept of anything was coming. We just knew were 792 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,959 Speaker 1: gonna keep showing up and improving and work after week 793 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: and on the outside, we're all terrible. When a cab 794 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: that was in the outside, I didn't care about it 795 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: all What do you care about the inside? Were? We 796 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: don't got showed up, They worked, they fought, they worked. 797 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: We are proven off as a team and put things 798 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: together and make a run and end up, you know, 799 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: win a championship. But the thing I really learned that 800 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: year was the importance of the culture inside, how important 801 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: valuable that is because I was part of more talented 802 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 1: teams that came up short and lost games down the stretch. 803 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: Much more talented, all right. But the one thing that 804 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: really was solidified in my mind, in my DNA that 805 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: that year in eighteen was the fact that it's so 806 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: much more important how strong you are inside, because no 807 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: team goes through a smooth season. No team goes through 808 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: a smooth season. So if you can go through the 809 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: junk we're going through right now, okay as a team, 810 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: if you can go through the tough times going through 811 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: right now as a team, all right, and have a 812 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: defense take the field every single time, ready to play 813 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: every time. And there's a lot of people want to say, hey, guys, 814 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: you picked off the ball and they ran down the 815 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: ends of you guys are down big, right, So we 816 00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 1: could turn around and say yeah, I gotta get your 817 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: butts back on the inboard down on that celebrate. You 818 00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: know what, though they play every player with enthusiasts, every 819 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: player of energy, every player with each other. I wanted 820 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: to celebrate that. I want to see the energy in 821 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: that passion. That's how they practice every day. Okay, that's 822 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: how they practice every day. I want to see him 823 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: play that way as well. All right, that last fourth 824 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: down they stopped him on. So that's two games in 825 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: a row where game was over right, we're out, it's done. Okay, 826 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: Vegas already paying out people like like that. That's done, 827 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: all right. But it's two fourth downs in a row, 828 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row that I'm sitting on watching 829 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: our defense finished the way they gotta finish. Fourth down 830 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: stop Logan Ryan last week, shooting the gap and stop 831 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: them at a good wall building the opposite side to 832 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: stop the run. Hey, dropping back into coverage and making 833 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,360 Speaker 1: that play right there or in that little kind of 834 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: tebow wall cat pass or whatever the hell you wanna 835 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: call it right there. All right. So this ain't a 836 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: team that's having fifth plates on the sidelines. This ain't 837 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: some clown show organization with something else Okay, you talk 838 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: about the foundation built some of the things that the 839 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: toughest thing to change in a team, The toughest thing 840 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: to change in the club is the way people think. 841 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: You understand that. That's the toughest thing. You can get 842 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: a new plan what you're doing, and they had to 843 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: trust the process. And that's a lot easier said than 844 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: done when they're looking up right now and you got 845 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: one game left and the most games don't win. It's 846 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,840 Speaker 1: five this season. Okay, but I guarantee you this. It 847 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: was bet are gonna walk in on Wednesday and you're 848 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: in a roll when a practice hard on Wednesday or 849 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: practic roll, practice hard on Friday. Okay, I'm gonna play 850 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: for each other on the on the field next week 851 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: we don't play well.

Okay, But the reality is that's all right. Okay, 855 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: it's all right. They have that right. So the fans 856 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: are then go back to the first part of the 857 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: fans are every bit right to ask what you're asking, Okay, 858 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: And I get about a dozen emails a day, all right, 859 00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: six of which asked exactly what you're asking the other 860 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: six off and full support the other way.

It's not. 864 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: But I know this. I know the first time I 865 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: ever talked to you guys in front of microphone. What 866 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: the hell I talk about? Foundation? Right from a building, 867 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: from ground up, building the right thing. Okay, you guys 868 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: ain't been the building for two years now with this 869 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: COVID ship, right, all right, But i'll tell you right now, 870 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: all right, if you're in the damn building, you walking 871 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: through our locker room, you ain't seen that crack you 872 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: saw before, all right. You ain't seeing guys right now 873 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: playing vacations. You ain't seeing golf clubs in front of 874 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: players locker You ain't seen that stuff. Okay, you ain't 875 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: seeing that. And that's not because some high school program. 876 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: We're cracking with it. Because our guys understand how to 877 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 1: play together as a team and then understand the process 878 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 1: to how they're going through. So I can go into 879 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: a whole x and nose, evaluation, go to a roster, 880 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: I get there. A lot of things for you right now, Okay, 881 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: I do it every day myself. I go through all 882 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,919 Speaker 1: that stuff. But in terms of the next step to take, 883 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, okay, I know we're 884 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: a whole lot close to what we're going on our 885 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: further away. I can tell you that right now. I 886 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 1: can tell we got more players here. Who are the 887 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,840 Speaker 1: free agents next year, all right, who are in my 888 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: office every day begging to come back. I know that, okay. 889 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: I know that the players that we coach last year, 890 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: they still call me twice a week talking about, you know, 891 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: how much they wish they were still here and that 892 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: they're getting paid more somewhere else. Okay. So I know 893 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: we've got the right foundational pieces, and I know we 894 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,439 Speaker 1: have some players, some key positions, right that our guys 895 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: you can build with keep carrying on, all right.

I know we got 897 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,479 Speaker 1: the right culture in terms of teaching the players, okay, 898 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 1: which is why I don't come up here and try 899 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: to assassinate some player, which I think it's gonna save 900 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: my ass, Okay, Because behind closed doors, we shut those doors. 901 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: I can tell every player, to a man w looked 902 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: at in the eye, exact what the hell he screwed 903 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: up on, exactly how it's got to get fixed. I 904 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: can tell him to hold them as accountables can be, 905 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna sit up here like some other cowards 906 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: sitting out of my phone and put his players on blast. Okay, 907 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: that's it. I signed through the head coach here. Whatever 908 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: bull gets fired, but they get fired for me. You 909 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: got that. It's gotta go through me to get to them. 910 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: And that's the way it is. But look, I'm not 911 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: asking to be patient. Trust me, guys, I'm not the 912 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: most patient guy myself. I'm committed. I'm committed, all right, 913 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: But I'm the most patient guy myself, all right. But 914 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: I am proud the way these guys continue to fight, 915 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 1: in the effort they play with, all right, and the 916 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: way they grind it out. Okay, But again, the toughest 917 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: thing to turn over in the program, the toughest thing 918 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: to change is how people think. Okay, how they think. 919 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 1: You got, guys written on the wire the right way 920 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: and why the right way?

Obviously, you know we're not getting the 987 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: results we were like, but it's tough to find teams 988 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: that are at this point four and twelve or whatever 989 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 1: we are, and the culture in the locker room and 990 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: is still being carried on and we're still staying together 991 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: as a team painting this is bringing us closer, so 992 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: that like I said, I think earlier in the week, 993 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: in his organization, on his team players, on the locker room, 994 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: there's been tough times, especially you know a personally for 995 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: me being here four years have been tough times. But 996 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: the right guys, the right guys are are in his 997 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,840 Speaker 1: in his black room, and I actually believe that just 998 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: based off the character, based off the work at the 999 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: based off the town that they have. And obviously we 1000 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: would love for it to be different this year, but 1001 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,120 Speaker 1: sometimes I'm just gonna keep sticking with it and keep believing, 1002 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 1: to keep trusting process. So you said this week, you 1003 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: have no intention of not playing these last few games, 1004 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 1: just going out there today even at all questions and 1005 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: something to you as you look um. Yeah, on the 1006 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,239 Speaker 1: question of me not playing the last two games, I 1007 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,800 Speaker 1: feel like I just sat out the whole year, the 1008 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: year before Tony Sail missing games this year the ankle injury. 1009 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,000 Speaker 1: Why would I ever imagine Now, I don't want to 1010 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: say that was not I want to say that was 1011 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: a dumb question. But you know, for me personally, I 1012 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,959 Speaker 1: just it's kind of insulting me when when when people 1013 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 1: say that, are you asking that question? It's like and 1014 00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,000 Speaker 1: then and that knows the league, But I still love 1015 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,239 Speaker 1: this game. So me sitting out and not going out 1016 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: there and trying to compete for my brothers, it's nonsense 1017 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: to me. And coming here and to be able to 1018 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: have a under our game and you know, kind of 1019 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: from the place where the injury happened and kind of 1020 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,840 Speaker 1: made my career go backwards a little bit. Uh, It 1021 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: does feel good like a monkey came with my back 1022 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: to come to the spot where if things like it 1023 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: went down him and personally to be able to get 1024 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: a get a run game going, especially with the help 1025 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 1: of Offine did a great job today. Appreciative of those 1026 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: guys front count you believe in me. Thanks. So that 1027 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 1: was s Kwan Barkley speaking with the reporters and clearly 1028 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: reflecting on the fact that he suffered the season ending 1029 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: knee injury in Chicago back in Week two. And what 1030 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: he was responding to also was the fact that he's 1031 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: been asked over the last few weeks whether or not 1032 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 1: the right thing for him to do because of his 1033 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: injury and the fact that the Giants are mathematically eliminated, 1034 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: should he shut it down, And that is why he 1035 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,839 Speaker 1: was continually saying that no, he still wants to play 1036 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: because of the fact that he had missed the bulk 1037 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: of last season. Bears top the Giants twenty nine two three. 1038 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,080 Speaker 1: Will step aside. We'll get more player reaction as we 1039 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,919 Speaker 1: move along, and also get you caught up with everything 1040 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,880 Speaker 1: else happening in the NFL in week seventeen.

I ran you through the individual statistics 1056 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 1: from an offensive standpoint for the Giants real quickly. On 1057 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 1: the Bear side, Andy Dalton was eighteen of thirty five 1058 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,120 Speaker 1: hundred seventy three yards touchdown past the Darnell Mooney. He 1059 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 1: was picked off by James Bradberry. The Giants had two 1060 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: sacks in this game. Also, David Montgomery was picked off 1061 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 1: by Crowder as they were trying to punch it in 1062 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,760 Speaker 1: again late in the red zone. The Bears ran twenty 1063 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 1: seven times for just eighty seven yards, just over three 1064 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: yards per carry, and Darneld Mooney, who I mentioned, had 1065 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: to touchdown. He was the leading receiver with seven catches 1066 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 1: for sixty nine yards. On the defensive side of the ball, 1067 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 1: Leonard Williams led the Giants with eight tackles. Lorenzo cart 1068 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,320 Speaker 1: Or another very active game, six tackles, five solo, He 1069 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,479 Speaker 1: had a sack, two tackles for a loss of pass 1070 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,120 Speaker 1: defense and a quarterback hit. And it was ro Kwan 1071 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 1: Smith who led the charge for the Bears with nine tackles, 1072 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 1: six solo and two for loss. And as far as 1073 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: another individual worth noting is concerned, Robert Quinn has set 1074 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: the Bears single season sack record for Chicago. He got 1075 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: his eighteen sack He broke Richard Dense mark of seventeen 1076 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: and a half, which was set back in four twelve 1077 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: and a half sacks for him over the last eight games, 1078 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,839 Speaker 1: he has at least one during that stretch.

Right 1084 00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,480 Speaker 1: after this, you're listening to Mercedes Bends Giants extra point 1085 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: on the w f A N Giants Radio network driven 1086 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: by the Hess Toy Truck. This is Julian Love and 1087 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: you're listening to Giants football. I'm the fan w f 1088 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,919 Speaker 1: A N and w f A N f M, New York. 1089 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: Let's get you caught up with everything else happening throughout 1090 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. In Week seventeen, we have several games currently 1091 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,360 Speaker 1: in progress. From the four pm window, the Chargers are blankie, 1092 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos ten nothing. The Texans and the Niners are scoreless. 1093 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,760 Speaker 1: Also at the second quarter, it's the Cardinals three, Cowboys nothing, 1094 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 1: Panthers in front of the Saints ten to three. Triba 1095 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: Hubbard with a rushing touchdown for Carolina, Seahawks shutting out 1096 00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,600 Speaker 1: the Lions ten nothing. That game late in the first quarter. 1097 00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: Everything else went final. From earlier today, the Bills top 1098 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: the Falcons, Josh Allen and Devin Singletary each with two 1099 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns as the Bills improved to ten and six. 1100 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 1: The Bengals outlasted the Chiefs with a last second field 1101 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: goal thirty thirty one, so Kansas City's eight game winning 1102 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,840 Speaker 1: streak comes to a halt. Joe Burrow another fantastic performance 1103 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: thirty of thirty nine for four hundred forty six yards 1104 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: four touchdowns. Jamaar Chase eleven catches two hundred sixty six 1105 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: yards for three touchdowns. Fair to say those two individuals 1106 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 1: are gonna win Fantasy titles for many different people. The 1107 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 1: Titans cruise past the Dolphins thirty four to three as 1108 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,360 Speaker 1: Deante Foreman ran for a hundred thirty two yards and 1109 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: a touchdown. You combine that with the Colts falling to 1110 00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: the Raiders twenty three to twenty thanks to Damiel Carlson's 1111 00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 1: game winning field goals time expired, Tennessee has clinched the 1112 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,480 Speaker 1: a f C South title. Indianapolis at nine and seven 1113 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 1: still looking to solidify one of those wild card spots. 1114 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 1: Speaking of the wild card, the Patriots hammered the Jaguars 1115 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,359 Speaker 1: fifty to ten as Mac Jones threw for three touchdowns 1116 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 1: and Damian Harris added two scores on the ground. The 1117 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: Buccaneers rallied past the Jets for victory. The Jets were 1118 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: up by fourteen points of the second half. Tampa Bay 1119 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: closes out the game with eighteen unanswered points. But actually 1120 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: the highlight of this game was Antonio Brown, who is no. 1121 00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: Longer a member of the Buccanteers. He removed his jersey, 1122 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,320 Speaker 1: he removed his equipment. I'm not sure if he removed 1123 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,320 Speaker 1: his fake vaccination card as well, but he removed everything 1124 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: in route to leaving the field. And according to Chris 1125 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,960 Speaker 1: Meyer's a Fox Sports security said, a b ran out 1126 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 1: of the stadium shirtless into a police car to be 1127 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,800 Speaker 1: escorted to a flight by himself out of town, away 1128 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: from the Buccaneers. So that is what is happening in 1129 00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in light of the fact that they are 1130 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: now twelve and four hunt this season. You don't hear 1131 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: those escapades with respect to winning teams too often. In 1132 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: the NFL, Eagles beat Washington sixteen and the Rams survived 1133 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens twenty and nineteen thanks to Oldell Beckham's go 1134 00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,880 Speaker 1: ahead touchdown with a minute left. That was the NFL 1135 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: and action. It was brought to you by Bigelow, te 1136 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: rab a mug and t proudly we welcome you back 1137 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,760 Speaker 1: to Sadies Bends Giants extra point, Lance Meadow Jeff Feagels 1138 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: pulled the Tino with you as the Giants fell to 1139 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 1: the Bears twenty nine to three in Chicago at Soldier field. 1140 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,800 Speaker 1: We heard from Joe Judge a little bit earlier on 1141 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 1: and Jeff to me, one of the biggest takeaways from 1142 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,320 Speaker 1: what he said, at least from a game planning standpoint, 1143 00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 1: he said, they went into this game thinking they were 1144 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,799 Speaker 1: going to have to pound the football because they knew 1145 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,520 Speaker 1: they were down a variety of wide receivers by midweek. 1146 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: They knew, of course, the quarterback struggles that's been well documented. 1147 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,560 Speaker 1: So they pretty much went in expecting to pound the football. 1148 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 1: They did that. The problem is the turnovers prevented them 1149 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: from turning that into points more often than not. Yeah, 1150 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 1: not to mention the you know, the offensive line was 1151 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,120 Speaker 1: you know Billy Price. Unfortunately what happened to uh, you 1152 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 1: know him and his wife and in their family. Our 1153 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 1: condolences go to them. Um, that's a tough situation. So 1154 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, that they juggled that offensive line, and 1155 00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:52,439 Speaker 1: so you know, you said, hey, what is our best 1156 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: way to win a football game? And you got your 1157 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,719 Speaker 1: best player line up behind Mike Lennon and that's Kwon 1158 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: Barkley and uh Booker. So yeah, I'm gonna run the football. 1159 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: But as you know, Lanson and this in the National 1160 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 1: Football League, you can't just think that you're going to 1161 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,080 Speaker 1: run the football at a time and and and win, 1162 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: especially when you the first seven minutes the game or 1163 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 1: down fourteen nothing. Well, and Paul, let me bring in 1164 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,720 Speaker 1: on that note, because, as Jeff mentioned, with the Giants 1165 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,800 Speaker 1: offensive struggles and the fact that the offense put the 1166 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: defense in such a precarious spot, you basically gave the 1167 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: Bears the ball twice, essentially in the red zone. I 1168 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: know they were just outside the red zone or the 1169 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,880 Speaker 1: other touchdown, and the blink of an eye, you're in 1170 00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 1: an O fourteen hole, considering this team has barely been 1171 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 1: able to reach ten points in recent history, virtually an 1172 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: impossible situation right out of the gates of this game. No, 1173 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. I mean, you know that 1174 00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 1: the Giants are offensively challenged from the get go, and 1175 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 1: then when you give up a couple of quick scores, 1176 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,319 Speaker 1: the hill just gets that much taller. The funny part 1177 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: about it is, Belichick just prove that you can win 1178 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 1: a game by only throwing the ball three times. You 1179 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,279 Speaker 1: did it just a few weeks ago. But of course 1180 00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: the difference was there. They were in climbing a pill 1181 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 1: from behind two scores in the first couple of minutes 1182 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, they lead for the good portion 1183 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 1: of that game. And even though there was one special 1184 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 1: team's turnover in that game, that was the only time 1185 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo scored if you remember. And to go with neither 1186 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: team could throw the football because the but you know, 1187 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,560 Speaker 1: at least the Bears in their game plan was to 1188 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: try to be as balanced as they could. They were 1189 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 1: able to put up some you know, a hundred seventies 1190 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,439 Speaker 1: something or a hundred sixty something yards passing. Well, stick 1191 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,360 Speaker 1: with us if you were listening to us on the 1192 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: fan in New York.
