But in the meantime, we had some questions 11 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: answered yesterday. Let's just roll through some of the stuff 12 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: that jumped out to us, and I think participation is 13 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: is where we should start.

Our participation will be the first thing I 18 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: would look at um going into the spring. Everyone's like 19 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: Noel Dell showing up forts No way, Otel is gonna 20 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: do minicamp, No way he's gonna be for the off 21 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: season program. He was here, to his credit when he 22 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: had him been here in years past. Good for him, 23 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: and again people wondering no contract, is you gonna hold 24 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: out again? That shows up at the press conference yesterday, 25 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: Pat Schurmer was almost every question he was asked was 26 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: about what, you know, Beckham's participation and stuff like that. 27 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: He said, guys, we're gonna build them up slowly, but 28 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: he's got a practice and he wasn't built up that slowly. 29 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: To be quite honest, he probably took at least half, 30 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: if not more, uh slightly more of the first team reps. 31 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: He was running around, playing outside, played the slot. And 32 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen with the preseason. I 33 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: think we have to wait and see. But just based 34 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: on practice, he's out there. He looks like any other 35 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: player coming back from an injury. To me, yeah, I 36 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: think most of those articles we've read during the off 37 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: season really belonged to the comic book because they all 38 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: turned out to be fictitious. The proof is in the pudding. 39 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Odell has done everything he said he was going to do. 40 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: He has done everything coach Shermer said he was going 41 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: to do. And you know, as far as John Marra 42 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: was concerned yesterday when he had his press briefing. It 43 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: seems as though as far as the team is concerned, 44 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: everything is on track and on schedule. Nothing has been unexpected. Yeah, 45 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: And I understand the skepticism because he hadn't an here 46 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: for the O T A S and stuff like that before, 47 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: and I understand people worrying about it. But once he 48 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: was here and then he said he was going to 49 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: be here and one to do the O T S 50 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: in mini camp. It doesn't make any sense for you 51 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: to show up the training camp and then not do 52 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: anything because that's mandatory, gonna get fine for that. You 53 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: don't show up for voluntary stuff and then don't do 54 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: stuff that's mandatory, was gonna get fine. That's stupid. Doesn't 55 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: make any sense. So to me, once he was here 56 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: for the spring, I was fairly confident he was gonna 57 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: be out there in training camp and so far, so good. 58 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Now I will say this, Um, the uh, the stuff 59 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: he was doing yesterday, he looks as Yeah, I mean 60 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: he looked great. Um. I mean he was probably lining 61 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: up in the slot more than we've seen before. And 62 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: Shed was around and I'm going back to the game tape. 63 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: I remember when we got Schermer and I kind of 64 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: pulled out a bunch of like, um, what I call 65 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: staple Pat Charmer offense plays with the vikings, and the 66 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: one place saw yesterday is to play that They ran 67 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: a lot with feeling where he lines up in the 68 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: slot on the week side of the formation actually probably 69 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: strong side of the formation, and he kind of drags 70 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: himself after a little rub rat right behind the defensive 71 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: line to try to get him out in space. We 72 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: saw him run that twice I think yesterday. And the 73 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: whole design of the play is to catch it only 74 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: three or four yards behind the line of scrimmers, get 75 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: it to him on the move, get it to him 76 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: in some space to make a play with him run 77 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: after the catch. So, um, that was something that jumped 78 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: out to me. Or it's like, I think I've seen 79 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: this before and that's a fifteen yard play. It could 80 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: be more, could be more, but at least fifteen Well, 81 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: if the defense plays it perfectly, he might get tackled 82 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: when he catches it. But with O'Dell it makes it 83 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more Ditty catches the ball. It is, 84 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: but I think I think that you know for me, John, Um, Yeah, 85 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: the questions and and John Marris said himself, you know, 86 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: we wanted to see him report. We wanted them to 87 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: pass this physical. We wanted to see him on the field. Well, 88 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: we've all seen him now on the field, and what 89 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: we saw was the same Odell Beckham Jr. Now it's 90 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: not a game yet. I haven't seen him over the 91 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: top yet either. Not a game, not page yet, so 92 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: I won't say, you know, all the hurdles are cleared, 93 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: but boy, it certainly looks good for him. Good start 94 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: and did old for Landon Collins, who took almost all 95 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: the first team snaps and eleven on eleven. Uh said 96 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: he's not gonna wear anything on that forearm that he had. 97 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: Remember O'Dell was the ankle, Collins the forearm, just in 98 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: case you got confused. And Um said, he feels great, 99 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: a little winded. When I talked to him after practice yesterday, 100 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: he admitted to being a little bit winded, but that 101 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: was about it. Uh. He's he's excited, ready and rare 102 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: to go. Uh. Coach Shermer has advised us that he 103 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: would try to be smart with those two guys. And 104 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: and you know, yesterday we saw a lot which probably 105 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: means today they may be pulling it back a little 106 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: bit on those two guys that would be my hunt possible, 107 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, only because he's surprised us that he would 108 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: be smart with them. So I'm guessing there'll be some 109 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: fewer snaps. So folks, if you read on Twitter today 110 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: or in the stories at the end of the day 111 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: that those guys did less today, don't freak out. It's 112 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: not because anything went wrong. It's only because that's probably 113 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: the design and the pace that they're gonna want to use. 114 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Stem Ditto four Snacks Harrison. Yeah, he's a guy that's 115 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: a bring along slowly. It's something that they've done the 116 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Um. And you know, he didn't 117 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: practice yesterday. I'm not sure how much he's gonna do today. 118 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: But he's a guy that's kind of had and I 119 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: think he described it as this last year, so I 120 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: think I'm breaking news as kind of a chronic knee 121 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: that comes and goes that he kind of has to manage. 122 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: He does, So it's someone that they're kind of moving 123 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: along slowly. And look, does Damon Harrison need any practice 124 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: reps that doesn't involve hitting people? No, he doesn't. He 125 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: um played in the three four with the Jets for 126 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: for a few years there before coming to the Giants. 127 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: So even the schematic change going to the James Betcher 128 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: system and the three four is not going to be 129 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: that dramatic with that much of a problem for him. 130 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: And if anything, as you mentioned, the chronic knee and 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: a guy who weighs that much as he does, and 132 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna have to go through the rigors of a 133 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: system that puts more stress on the nose tackle then 134 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: the four three. Does you know what, I'm all four 135 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: lightning his load a little bit, not just now during 136 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: training camp, but even during the season. That's fine. I 137 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't worry about it. A couple of other notes, Paul, 138 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: just from things that UM I saw a practice, and 139 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: this is in the story. You go to Giants dot com, folks, uh, 140 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: you can still check it out. I basically get to 141 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: stand closer than anybody else does during practice. I'm very 142 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: blessed that way. They trust me. UM. I'm standing right 143 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: next to the referee at the line of scrimmage for practice. 144 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm closer than anybody that's in the media. UM, I'm 145 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: as close as all the coaches. So I'd like to 146 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: think I see a little bit more than other people, 147 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: just because I've been blessed enough to being given the 148 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: opportunity to do it. And if you want any proof, 149 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: you can go if you look at my Twitter mentions, 150 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: I guess Beckham twoted I just saw this. Now put 151 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: up an Instagram photo of himself. It's in the background, 152 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: not looking very pleased. I'm about happy about something. I'm 153 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: not quite sure what maybe that you had to do 154 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: the show with me today. The caption, the caption someone 155 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: actually sent to me was great. He goes, looks like 156 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: you just saw Charlie in the stands. It was pretty 157 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: funny anyway. Um, you just keep digging deeper, don't you. 158 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: You know, when you get in a hole in order 159 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: to get out, you're not supposed to just keep digging. 160 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: Barkley and Stewart split first team reps. I would say 161 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: Barkley probably got around and Stewart got around maybe two 162 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: thirds something like that. So I think that's gonna be 163 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: pretty common throughout. I don't think they're gonna give Barkley 164 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: every single first and second down carry. I think we're 165 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna use them a lot of different ways. So a 166 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: lot of screen passes, yes, say they're working on screens. 167 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: Throughout practice, Barkley was heavily involved in the passing game, 168 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: which would also not be a surprise. George Jenkins had 169 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: the lone interception of practice yesterday. Um Eli Manning actually 170 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: had Cody Lattimer, who beat Jenkins off the line, had 171 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: a step or two on him, underthrew him a little bit, 172 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: and Jenkins did a really good job of making that up, 173 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: getting his head around and having a nice over the 174 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: shoulder catch. The Laddimer could have done a better job 175 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: of fighting for that ball in the air to um 176 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: but that was one thing. Um Eli Apple a couple 177 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: of times and one on ones bad part, a couple 178 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: of guys got behind him a little bit. Good part, 179 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: He recovered, got his head around, located the ball in 180 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: the air, which has been a problem for him in 181 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: years past, and knocked it out at which I thought 182 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: was a good sign for him. Um just in terms 183 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: of who was with the starting groups, were tracking you 184 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: know who we think gonna be. Some of the starters 185 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: are some of these spots. For the most part, Paul 186 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: uh we saw the starting Nicol William Gay. It was 187 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: Darren Thompson with Landon Collins as the second starting safety. Uh. 188 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: The second group had Andrew Adams, Curtis Riley, who's a 189 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: converted corner, and then Dante Dion as the slot with 190 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: other two guys at safety, and then the offensive lines 191 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,119 Speaker 1: look much like they did we were at uh minicamp, 192 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: so left to right you would Solder Hernandez Halapio was 193 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: in there. Primarily there was some Brett Jones that said there, 194 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 1: but mostly Halapio and then um Oh mom Ay and 195 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: right guard Flowers, the right tackle second team right to 196 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: left now wheel A right tackle, Greco, Jerry, right guard, 197 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: uh Jones are all appeal depending who was in there 198 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: at center. I think Greco and Beckton at left tackle. 199 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: So that's what that was. Um A couple of changes 200 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: from the spring, and we always talk about this, you know, 201 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: people talk about what's happening up front. I think that's 202 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: part of it too. I think that made a big 203 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: difference with the corners being able to be much more 204 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: physical and aggressive at the line of scrimmage with the receivers, 205 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: and I think that it just ups the intensity. I 206 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: think of those one on one drills and the team portion. 207 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: When those guys can really get physical with the line, well, 208 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: This defense that Betcher is going to call is one 209 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: that relies more heavily on that than even the Spags 210 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: defense did. So they better get used to doing that now. Yeah, 211 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: and the final thing I'll bring up real quick, Paul 212 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: Um not a lot. Only two count the two drop 213 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: passes during practice. I think Evan Ingram had went over 214 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: the middle, and I don't remember who the second one 215 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: was Um. But there were no fumbled snaps. Was it Russell? 216 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Might have been a loons of Russell might have been so, 217 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: But there were no fumble snaps, which on the first 218 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: day of training camp practice is a rarity. Usually get 219 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: least one. That's true. That's true. But there were a 220 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: ton of procedural penalties, which you don't like, legal formations 221 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: off side, But again, first day of practice, you're gonna 222 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: have those. Those will get cleaned up as we go along. Yeah, 223 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: they were fine. Q. How do I stay throwing up? Yeah? 224 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: He had that one underthrow, but otherwise I thought he 225 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: looked pretty carp. I agree, and frankly, I thought one 226 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: of the things ill though two I thought them. I 227 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: thought the defensive line did a really nice job and 228 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: quite frankly was probably in the backfield much more than 229 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: the offense was would be happy to know how I 230 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: feel about that. I know that you can't. There's no 231 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: pads yet, advantage defensive line. I don't. I'm not gonna 232 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: argue with you. One other thing we gotta tell you, 233 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: which has nothing to do with practice. Shermer today was 234 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 1: asked about Rosas and the uncomfort level that he might 235 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: feel with a young kicker. Doesn't you know the question 236 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: or for the newspaper guy said, you know, I don't 237 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: know if you like veteran kickers or not, but what's 238 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: the deal with ros Sauce. Shermer said he thought that 239 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: he had kicked well in the spring, had improved his 240 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: mechanics over the course of that time, and wants him 241 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: to continue to do so. So it looks like, folks, 242 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, there may not be another kicker coming in 243 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: besides Cone, who's already in to challenge him. We've been 244 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: saying that Mike Nugent is still on the street, and 245 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: he is, but I think Grosses is gonna get every 246 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: chance to win the job. Sure, but he could also 247 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: not be consistent. And they didn't kick field goals yesterday. 248 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: They'll probably kick field goals today. I'll track those will 249 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: be in my story tomorrow. Exactly what he made him 250 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: from what distance. I was always pretty um, pretty cognizant 251 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: of getting that in there for you guys. So a 252 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: couple of the things in the press conferences today, say 253 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. I don't think he really said anything that 254 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: was significant. He's fine splitting carries with Jonathan Stewart. You 255 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 1: know what is he gonna say. He's a rookie, and 256 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: he's very polished, and you're always you're always always kind 257 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: of getting the field already that he's almost kinda like 258 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: the Eli Manning of running backs here. He's not he's 259 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: gonna talk. He's gonna give you answers, but he ain't 260 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: gonna say anything, which is fine. That's much better than 261 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: being a jerk about it. If you if you give 262 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: a quote but you don't give anything of like super 263 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: duper substance, people are fine with that. You're gonna guy 264 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: won't talk, or you're not being a jerk. Yeah, So 265 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: I think he's gone. He's for a rookie, he's very 266 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: very advanced, a great regard. Um. Yeah, he's great. I 267 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: love will Um. He'll say some stuff to I think 268 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: like if you catch well, I think get a filling. 269 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: You catch him after a game and he's got the 270 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: bud pumping exactly. Um. Lendon Collins, I thought, had one 271 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: interesting quote talking about they asked him, um, what he 272 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: was really trying to improve on in the off season. 273 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: He goes every off seae, I'm trying to get better 274 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: playing man to man coverage. And I do think that's 275 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: probably still the weakness of his game, that in the 276 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: single high stuff. So he's working on it, and that's 277 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: one of the things you gotta worry about the end 278 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: of They're gonna ask these secondary guys to play a 279 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: lot of press man and man coverage this year and 280 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: a lot of times that help. That's what the single 281 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: high deal is. You gotta do some stuff with that help. 282 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see how these guys handle 283 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: that responsibility. And linebackers and safeties are included in that, 284 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: it is not just the corners. Yeah, totally agree with that, 285 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: And I think that the one thing that that I'd 286 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: like to see Collins maybe do a little bit better. 287 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: And I know he's talking about the man, but two 288 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: years ago when he became a thief, I mean it 289 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: seemed like everything was was touching his hands and he 290 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: was coming up with these interceptions left there, right and 291 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: cool to a couple of acrobatic ones too. Last year, 292 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, those takeaways disappeared. You know, I'd 293 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: like to see I know they come in bunches and 294 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: they can be very lucky and you can't necessarily plan 295 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: for them. I'd love to see him get more takeaways again. 296 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: Tell you look at those takeaways idea, how many balls 297 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: are just like jump routes, balls were tipped. They're throwing 298 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: right adam quarterbacks and making mistakes, but it was often 299 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: in the right position. And that's positioning, true. But positioning 300 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: can create luck, but you're still counting on the other 301 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: team to make a mistake for you to get it. 302 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: That's if you go a year to year and you 303 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: look at the interceptions leader, spare freak shows like Edy Reid, 304 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: who are just you know, maybe the best ball hawking 305 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: safety in the history of football, just a freak show. Um, 306 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: you won't see the same guys on the interception leaders 307 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: year to year. They change every year, not a lot 308 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: of times, because it's it's not indicative of how well 309 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: you a A lot of the time. You know what, 310 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: I agree with that, just like sometimes with sacks, Like 311 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: you might have a great year for us in the 312 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: pass there, but if guys are getting rid of the 313 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: ball on you, what are you gonna do. But see, 314 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: the thing is the Giants has a defense need to 315 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: create more turnovers. They've got to get more takeaways if 316 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: they're going to climb the rankings in the National Football League. 317 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: And to me, I don't necessarily think a lot more 318 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: of those takeaways are gonna come from the quarterbacks because 319 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: they play too much. Man. Yeah, absolutely, So that means 320 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: the safeties are gonna have to be the guys who 321 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: get more of the takeaways. By definition, I think it's 322 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: gonna be the single high guys too. If you could 323 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: um the Cardinals last years, antwoin Bathet that kind of 324 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: had a lot of their picks. He's the single high 325 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: guy that's probably not gonna be landing columns a lot 326 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: of the time, but but yes he will be. And 327 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: you don't like the quarterback poll. You forced quarterbacks into 328 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: mistakes and bed throws by pressure. So that's what you 329 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: gotta do to four anything. Let's want to get in 330 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: before you get all right, beautiful to five on three, 331 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: we have a bank full of calls. Um. By the way, 332 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: we've had some calls and I've had some tweets about practice. 333 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: I just want to throw a couple of things out 334 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: there for you, folks. If you didn't know this, you 335 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: need a ticket to attend practice. Okay, they're all sold 336 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: out online. They were free, don't well sold out applies 337 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: they were paid, they've all been claimed online. Yes, good point. However, 338 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: there are a limited number of tickets that are kept 339 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: in reserves. If you show up on game day, on 340 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: practice day, you can still get in. There's no guarantee 341 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: they're not gonna put them over capacity. But based on 342 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday, folks, if you show up on 343 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: a weekday and it's not a weekend practice, you're probably 344 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna get in. Well if you don't have If you 345 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: don't have a ticket and you want to come to 346 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: a practice, come on a weekday. You'll probably be able 347 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: to get in and watch it if you show up 348 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: on a week day to practice. Because you have to understand, 349 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: even though the ticket supply for each day has been exhausted. 350 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: For example, yesterday, there was certainly a section of bleachers 351 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: that was that was not well attended. Again, those are 352 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: the reserve tickets, right, yes, and you know what, there 353 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: were reasons why, whatever reasons, somebody can't make it, and 354 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that's an unclaimed ticket, that's an 355 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: unclaimed seed. So if you do show up on game day, 356 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of a general admission thing, almost a practice day. Again, 357 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: I didn't say, it's almost like standby at the air 358 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: at the airport if you're like and remember, even if 359 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: everybody shows up, there's still extrem of additional tickets that 360 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: are in reserve for gif for a walk up. So 361 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: you can't show up and give it a shot and 362 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: get on weekdays based on what we saw, yes, they 363 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: think you'll be in good shape. Weekends, I would suggest 364 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: coming early because the weekends are usually very, very packed. 365 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: So I just want to throw that afterto the folks 366 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: that are so some people are frustrated they haven't been 367 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: able to get the tickets online, but that doesn't mean 368 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: you're not be able to practice. So I think that 369 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: would if for my opinion, that would be your best 370 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: way to make it happen. And I'd be very surprised 371 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: if you came to a weekday practice that you would 372 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: be turned away. My guess that you'd be able to 373 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: get in. And by the way, make sure you keep 374 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: the rain clouds away. Yeah, maybe showing up today on 375 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: the five o'clock. Hopefully it will be after practices. We'll 376 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: say though, I wouldn't mind breaking this heat a little bit. 377 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: I know you like this. This is a little eight 378 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: and really human. It's too much for me my mind, 379 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: my pale Northern European self can't handle of stuff. It's 380 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: no good. Let's go to Stephen Long Island. He's gonna 381 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: lead us off on Big Blue Kickoff Life by Steve. 382 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: Thank guys, how you doing great? What's up? Me and 383 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: my brother I think you know him? Bam, Bad Big 384 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: and Knows are on the way to our training camp 385 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: right now, beautiful. Um So, I have two things for you. 386 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: Number one, it's a giant fan. Last year was a 387 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: brutal I I mean, I'm so disgusted. They didn't have 388 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: a fullback, they didn't even have a goal line formation. 389 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: It was almost like playing a seven year old than that, 390 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: and every play shotguns slant, shotguns slant. So my first 391 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: thing was, how different do you guts think the offense 392 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: would be this year on just shrm around all. We're 393 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: going to see a lot more too tight and sense. 394 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Will there be a goal line offense again, that type 395 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: of thing that has kind of been Steve a theme 396 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: early on here. How he's gonna move players around a 397 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: lot more so. I'm not sure how much different the 398 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: personnel package percentages are going to be. Like, I still 399 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: think this team will probably be a majority eleven personnel 400 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: team in my opinion. I don't think they'll play more. 401 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll play more twelve than eleven. I 402 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: think it'll be a lot closer than it was last year, 403 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: but I think that will be their most common formation eleven. 404 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see if that's the case or not. 405 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: But the push is we got more to figure out. 406 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: Regardless of the of the personnel group, the various formations 407 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: they'll put those players out there in is going to 408 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: make it a lot more difficult on the defense, regardless 409 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: of what actual personnel are on the field. And he 410 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: talked about it, You're gonna beck him outside, Beckham in 411 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: the slot, Shepherd outside, excuse me, Shepherd in the slot. Um, 412 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: you're gonna have Seguan Barkley empty backfield, you know, you know, 413 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: going to motion pre snap, but and line up as 414 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, so then you'll see more passes go 415 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: down the field. I saw more passes go downfield and 416 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: practice yesterday, and I saw him like weeks at a time, 417 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: the last three or four years in the bed and 418 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: then the first day of camp. It wasn't even a lot, 419 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: but it was much more than what we've seen. It's 420 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: not even close. I would say this to you, Okay, 421 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little different with than John on this one. 422 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: I do think you'll see more double tight ends. But 423 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: having said that, will it be the majority form person? 424 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: I think it'll be set. I really do. But but 425 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: having said that, we don't know yet. No No, I 426 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: and I would also say one other thing too, and 427 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: I and I and I really believe that this is 428 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: the case with Pat Shermer, although we need more evidence. 429 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be more matchup oriented in 430 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: his game plans than what we saw last year, where 431 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: the game plans were pretty much this is what we're 432 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: gonna do, and this is what we want to do, 433 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: and we're pretty much gonna stick to it. I think 434 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: Sherman is going to be more matchup oriented. Look, this 435 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: is what the opponent has, this is what we think 436 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: we can do. This is how we're going to need 437 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: to attack them, and Steve, it will be different every week. 438 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: We're real quick. He mentioned that during media avails today, 439 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: a player a reporter asked him a question about playing 440 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: position lest football, and he goes, I really haven't said that, 441 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: but I think it's a good word. Where he's gonna 442 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: adjust where he's lining people up to try to get 443 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: the best matchup possible. So this is, for an example, 444 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: let's say your plan Arizona. He's not gonna put Beckham 445 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: where he knows Patrick Peterson's gonna line up. He's gonna 446 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: try to move around so he gets the better matchup. 447 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: And I think that how he's going to kind of 448 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: use that in a way. In a way, can I 449 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: say he might be bet your light on offense, you know, 450 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: because bet bet your betcher's a mad scientist on the 451 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: other side of the ball. Suremer might be bet your 452 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: light because he's gonna throw a lot of mixture. Let's 453 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: see it. Let's see it first, Yeah, let's see it 454 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: all right. My other point was this is a more 455 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: general NFL question and I've had this argument with my 456 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: friends on the NFL is challenging team that they sort 457 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: of want to eliminate the kickoff return, right, so they've 458 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: moved the the kickoff. Most teams are not booting out 459 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: of the end zone for whatever reason. I think it's 460 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: obviously a safety issue, um, which is fine. They're basically 461 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: telling you we don't want you to return kickoffs anymore. 462 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: If you look at the mat, look at the average 463 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: kickoff returns around the league, it doesn't make any sense 464 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: to return these kicks if you get the ball in 465 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: the end zone. I think it should be an automatic 466 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: touchback Neil at every single time you when you put it, 467 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: when you put in the fact that guys get injured 468 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: on these plays, that there's penalties, that you can humball 469 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: the rare case where a guy takes the ball back 470 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: fifty yards, it just nath wise doesn't make sense, Alright, 471 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: I think, Steve. I think I think for the most part, 472 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: you're right, Um. But I will say this, I think 473 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: with the new rules, we don't know how that's going 474 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: to affect the return game. So you might get more 475 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: bigger returns given the new rules. That's all that we 476 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: don't talking about how the players have to stay in 477 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: certain lanes. Yes, exactly. Yeah, most people who I've talked 478 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: to think it will open up every use on the 479 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: field that will allow more returns and bigger returns. But 480 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: if you are right, let's just say what you've said 481 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: in the past holds true and it's almost worthless. Well, 482 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: then if you want then the only solution just then 483 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: eliminate the kick off and put the ball at the twenty. 484 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: Like in baseball they've eliminated the intentional walk and they've 485 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: just said the guy goes to first base. I mean, 486 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: is that what you want to do? No, No, I'm 487 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: not saying that the NFL should make that. I'm saying, 488 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: if I was at the head coach of a team 489 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: and I'm working at the stacks, I'm saying, you know what, 490 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: there's no point in me trying to run these balls back. 491 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: I'm getting stopped at the fifteen yard line here given 492 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: here at I'm not saying the NFL should institute a rule. 493 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying, if I was a coach and I'm looking 494 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: at the statistics, I'm having my guy neil the ball 495 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: and take every time I get the ball in the 496 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: end zone, I'm taking a touchback and when I'm kicking off, 497 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: I'm chips shotting it to like twot online to try 498 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: to make them return it. I think it's my point. 499 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: I have a good day, thanks for you to appreciate it. 500 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: And I'll say this too. If the NFL wanted to 501 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: eliminate the kickoff, it would have eliminated the kickoff. I 502 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: think they're trying to save the kickoff by changing the 503 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: rules at the margins to make it a safer play. Um. 504 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: The math tells you that the well, I forget what 505 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: the numbers were more dangerous, likely to get a concussion. 506 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: I forget what it was dominant. Yeah, the numbers dominant correct. 507 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: So I think they're trying to figure out a way 508 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: to fix it. And to me, I would just have 509 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: a team punt. Then let's run a punt play free kick. Yeah, 510 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: what a free kick, But so have everybody in the 511 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage so you don't have high speed collisions 512 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: with guys running into each other. It's just like a punt. 513 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: There's no issue. There's no from my understanding, and maybe 514 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm wrong about this, there's no safety issues on punts. 515 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: I haven't heard neither of I so why not just 516 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: doesn't call for the fair catch? Absolutely, but I don't 517 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: see why they wouldn't just be able to adopt some 518 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: of the punt roles and make it a safer play 519 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: that way. Anyway, D five one three Antonio INHANDA is 520 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: up next? What's up? Antonio? Hey? What's going on? Guys? 521 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: How are you doing today? What's up? So? I have 522 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: a couple of questions. I'm gonna start off for saying, 523 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, I heard John Marathon yesterday and pretty much 524 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: he was walking on eggshells. I felt like he can't 525 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: really say much about that gump because his agent could 526 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: you sit against him in contracts? Of course, for example, 527 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: when they asked them, when they asked them like do 528 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: you think he's the best player, she's not gonna say 529 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: he's not the best player. But of course I truly 530 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: think that Beckham is obviously probably the best wife receiver 531 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: right now in the NFL. We well, Antonio, Hold hold on, Antonio, 532 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: I want to pause for a second. If if you're 533 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: drafting a team right now and you're just trying to 534 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: win this year, I don't know how you can argue 535 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: taking Beckham over Antonio Brown. I don't know. I don't 536 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: know how you make argument that football, you're not going 537 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: to draft somebody for just one year. Became is younger 538 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: than Brown. So I'm taking Beckham. No, but you're telling 539 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: me who's the best wide receiver right now? And I'm 540 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: telling you Antonio Brown right now is a better wide 541 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: receiver than all Beckham Jr. He's a much larger track record, 542 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: you know. No, No, but in terms of what about 543 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: in terms of um Antonio before we look, Look, I 544 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: don't I don't even want to discuss this any further. 545 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why two points number one. I thought 546 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: John Marra was crystal clear upfront, honest frank told you 547 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: exactly what was going on. And quite frankly, we've been 548 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: talking about it on this program for months. Everything that 549 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: everybody has said has happened, except for what was written 550 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: in the papers. That stuff all turned out to be 551 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: comic book fodder. Okay, So that's first. Let's let's just 552 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: for a second understand the truth is the truth, okay, 553 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: and and clickbait is clickbait. And you are right, John 554 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: Mayer is not gonna not gonna negotiate in public. That's first, 555 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: not second. Yes, John marrat is not going to negotiate 556 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: in public. He also made that very clear, right, Dave 557 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: glan is very clear, so has Pat Scharmer. Okay, And 558 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: and furthermore, in terms of the opinion, I'm gonna go 559 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: one more one more point the opinion. If you ask 560 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: a hundred people who the best wide receiver in football is, 561 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee you by the time you shold those hundred people, 562 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: you will see the names of Jones, You'll see Beckham, 563 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: you'll see Brown even on that list. So who's what 564 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: is the point that question? And he shouldn't. And here's 565 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: the thing, Antonio, And you see this across the league 566 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: at different positions, just because whether or not a guy 567 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: is the best player in the position is in material. 568 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,719 Speaker 1: If he's the most recent eye getting the contract, odds 569 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: are it's gonna be the biggest contract. That's just how 570 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: it works, you know what I mean. Yeah, that's I 571 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: agree with that too. I'm thinking right now, like, there's 572 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: no way that Beckham is not going to become the 573 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver I did. That's just my opinion 574 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: on it. And I know you guys wanna, you know, 575 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: stop talking about that. So so I wants my cool 576 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: next fuestion about it? Um, My next question is in 577 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: James Betchett defense currently right now, do we have so 578 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: last year's so do we have four three former defensive 579 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: tackles now playing as defensive end no tackle and defensive 580 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: and defensive end? Um, let me think you have Tomlinson, 581 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: b J. Hill? Oh boy, who also are former four 582 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: three defensive tackles that are a defensive Well Kerry when 583 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: you want to count him, he's kind of, but he 584 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: was a three or four d N last year. I mean, 585 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean Comilinton and p J. Hill would would be 586 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: the primary two guys that are four or three d 587 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: t s and they'll be playing pay four d N 588 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: which is fine, there's nothing wrong with that. No wait, 589 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: so I'm so so so my so my thought was 590 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: to that was wouldn't that be better for um for 591 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: for have for for snacks Harrison instead of because now 592 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: he has more help instead of less help than last year, 593 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: because you know, because all those two guys, that's two 594 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: of the guys are gonna require two bodies on them also, 595 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: so they's gonna it's not gonna no, no, no. If 596 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: you're an offensive coordinator, you're doubling Snacks in the middle 597 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: of that line, trust me. But you have to you 598 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: have to pay attention to to the other two guys. 599 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: Who are you know? I feel like, what's the guy? 600 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: What's the guys name that he's playing against? It's not 601 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: has next to him last year? Well Tom Tomlinson was 602 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: next to him last year. He's gonna get double team too. 603 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna be's a big guy. 604 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: Here's what you want. If you're James Betcher, what you're 605 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: gonna want to do is put a mixture of three 606 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: or five, sometimes six guys on the line of scrimmage, 607 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: and you're going to want to send different guys upfield 608 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: so that the offense doesn't know who to pick up 609 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: and doesn't know who to double. That's what you want 610 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: to do. That's how you can alleviate pressure off of 611 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: Snacks Harrison. But in the in the standard base front, 612 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: if they're not sending extra guys, then he's going to 613 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: get the double team. But but I suspect, and let 614 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: me say this, what do we say Betcher's number was 615 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: on applying pressure was it seventy last year of the 616 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: time he I I think. I think whatever the number 617 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: was with the Cardinals, I suspect it's going to be 618 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: a higher number with the Giants. I had a person, No, guys, 619 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: say to me, don't be shocked if Becher starts sending 620 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: extra people nine of the time this year. He thinks that, 621 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: he thinks it's gonna be almost every snap. That's good. 622 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: I hope. I mean, I love pressure. I love when 623 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: we send five on because nowdays it's it's ship. Actually, 624 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: sometimes running backs you know, were somewhere back to you 625 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: don't go out for path. But you know what I'm saying, 626 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: we got to take an account that I'm running backs, 627 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, are blocking out there too. So yeah, no, no, 628 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: that's that's I just thought that, you know, maybe this 629 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: year it's gonna be a little bit less. You know, 630 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be less intense on him, you know what 631 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying, because because we don't want, you know, thanks 632 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: breaking down and normally on a three four on a record, 633 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: on a normal threefour, you know, I feel like he 634 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: would be breaking down and more. But I just don't 635 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: see this as a regular three four. No, it's not, 636 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: it's not at all. But I do think it is 637 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: fair to say that a guy of his frame and 638 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: his weight, and we know last year, as John said, 639 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: he did have some making knees. It's prudent to patient. Yeah, absolutely, 640 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: thank you and him. Yeah, real quiquestion, like the real 641 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: quick last question is where would you guys recommend people 642 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: to sit on the on the seats in the practice. 643 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm going on Saturday and I just want to know 644 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: what should I You know, it's it depends where the 645 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: practice is that day. There are three practice fields. I 646 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: don't know what field are gonna use on Saturday, so 647 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: it all depends on what their primary fielders. And you 648 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: would just sit in the stands that's closest to that field. 649 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: But I can't guarantee you what field they're going to 650 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: use on Saturday. Butspectly I don't know what fiel they're 651 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: gonna use today. Yeah, exactly. Hi, thank you so much, 652 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. Let's go to Shorting, California. 653 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: He's up next.

But I've been getting a lot of useful 657 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: information from you guys. I actually want to thank you 658 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: guys again. You guys do so it such an amazing 659 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: job on the website, on the app, and I'm always 660 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: able to clip back and find useful information. Other than 661 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: those media outlets that's just trying up a lot of 662 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, boomers and stuff. I really don't like to 663 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: listen to that stuff. What I want to talk about 664 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: today is thanks for sticking with us. Yeah, I'm sorry 665 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: for I'm not trying to Yeah, I'm not trying to 666 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: be uh, you know, I'm just trying to get information. 667 00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: So I'm sorry. If you guys already talked about this. 668 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: As far as the supplemental draft, how does that? How 669 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: does that work? How were we able to draft Sam Bill? 670 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: And why wasn't he included in the regular draft? Well, 671 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: he was not included in the regular draft, Sewan, because 672 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: he didn't declare himself for the regular draft. Um. But 673 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: he found out once you got past that declaration deadline 674 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: that he might have UM issues with having the proper 675 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: number of credits to be academically eligible in the fall. 676 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: So with that hanging over his head, he's like, you know, 677 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: what I better go in now so I don't have 678 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: to sit out a full season. That's why he went 679 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: in now. When the Giants used the third round pick 680 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: on Sam beyond the supplemental Draft, they then have to 681 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: sacrifice their third round pick in next year's draft, so 682 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: as they stand down, they don't have their three, and 683 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: they also might not have their seven because that was 684 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: a conditional pick they sent to the Broncos for Riley Dixon. 685 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: Got you, got you? And then my next question I 686 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: have for you guys, min stole the jumping topics, but 687 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: we well we just talked about it at the previous 688 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: caller um as far as oh b j Um, I 689 00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: listened to all the stuff that you guys put on 690 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: a website, and I wasn't really too worried about it, 691 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: because you know, what gave what Dave geentleman, and what 692 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: the organization did for us this offseason was just amazing, 693 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: and we all know that they want Beckham to be 694 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: a Giant for life. But I was so happy, That's 695 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: why I wasn't really stressing about it. But I'm also 696 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: happy and Jomma kind of brought it up in his 697 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: pressiest day. Um, I just wanted to one discussion by 698 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: you guys. I believe that Beckham um is gonna perform, um, 699 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, to his best visit abilities if he can 700 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: remain on the field. And in that, I believe if 701 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: they get the contract done, that's going to inspire him 702 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: to play what he's played to what he's worth. Um, 703 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: how could we how could how could we structure a 704 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: contract on Beckham but still have enough money to pay 705 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: like landing Collins in the future. Um, I'm thinking something 706 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: about like a long term deal, like add five years 707 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: to his remaining contract to sign him to like a 708 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: six year contract, And I think how would be afford 709 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: like to pay to pay the guy at least like 710 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: nineteen point five million? I noticed a lot for a 711 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver. But what you guys do just saying that, 712 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna say, he's gonna he's gonna set 713 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: the market right, So um how um Eli? You know, 714 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: I love Eli. I can't wait too, you know, I 715 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: can't wait to go to the hopefully go to the 716 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: Promised Land with him in the upcoming seasons. But until um, 717 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna be retiring to and so we're 718 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: gonna have all that cap space for his contract right 719 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: in the next say give him like say three or 720 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: four years, right, So how could we structure the contract 721 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: to pay back um and also pay Landing College because 722 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: I also believe that Landing College is going to have 723 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: a you know, redemption here. He's gonna come back strong 724 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: and you know as far as the defense goes UM, 725 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: So I believe so strong on you know, on paper, 726 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: it looks good in the offense, but I know we 727 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: have a lot of consents for the defense. But this 728 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: upcoming season, I just have a not just have a 729 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: good expectations that the defense is going to feed off 730 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: the offense and there's just gonna be a great season 731 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: over wall. So that's just my question for you guys, 732 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: or take the answer off here, And I appreciate you 733 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: guys answering my calling, keeping it going man, giants for life. 734 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: Appreciate we can make this one really easy for you. 735 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: Forget about worrying about the numbers for Beckham. Other people 736 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: will do that. But if they are able to get 737 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: a deal done with Beckham for whatever price it turns 738 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: out to be, that means they've still got the franchise 739 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: tag in their pocket and they can use that on 740 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: landing Collins next year, and this way, you know you'll 741 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: have both players in two thousand nineteen. And there were 742 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,240 Speaker 1: three decisions they made this past offseason that they made, 743 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: in my opinion, to help set themselves up for the 744 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: Beckham and Collins deals. They didn't resign Western Richburgh. They 745 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: didn't resign justin Peu. Now, they did sign eight soldiers 746 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: that kind of clashes one of those guys off the list, 747 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: but they also tradation Pierre Paul. So they're taking that 748 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: capit on JPP this year on purpose. They didn't stretch 749 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: that as a posted June cut where they're taking some 750 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: next year and something this year. No, no, no, no no, 751 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: it's all this year. Yes, So next year JPPS contracts 752 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: off the cap. You know where that money can be 753 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: used on landing Collins if necessary, if necessary exactly which 754 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: it would be for the either whether it's franchise he 755 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: or a long term deal whatever. Yep, that's why those 756 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: moves this year had to be made, and that's when 757 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: we kept talking about it. We talked about it in 758 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,399 Speaker 1: the context of future finances. You only pay X number 759 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: of players big money. You gotta pick out the ones 760 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: that you think are most important to retain, and those 761 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: are the ones you retain. So that's the John's you're 762 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: trying to do. So I wouldn't necessarily, you know, stay 763 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: up at night worrying about how they're gonna afford both 764 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: of those players. There are mechanisms in place where they 765 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: could do it. And when you sign a long term 766 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: deal you can move money around and things like that 767 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: to make it work. And look, everyone knows how good. 768 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,479 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Is Dave Gentleman said it. John marras 769 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 1: said it before. They wanted to be here a long time. 770 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: We all know all that he's a heck of a player. 771 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: He'll get rewarded for it. John maher has said that too, 772 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: and they'll figure it out. It's a negotiation. It's not 773 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: as simple saying he's earned the contract, he's got to 774 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: get it, so get him signed. Well, that's not how 775 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: it works. It's a negotiation, and we'll see. We don't 776 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: know what does asking for. We don't know what the 777 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: giants are offering. You have no idea. In fact, according 778 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: to John mara they don't know either because they haven't 779 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: had to started the conversation yet. Although we pretty much 780 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: know what it's going to take Yeah, I mean everybody 781 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 1: pretty much. Look at look at the bar Jake Matthews 782 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: and Tailor Launga signed. It's at the top of their 783 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: position group pretty pretty more it's gonna be I mean, 784 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: do you really think Jimmy Garoppolo and Kirk Cousins of 785 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 1: the two best quarterbacks in football? Are they getting paid 786 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: like to the top quarterbacks? Exactly? So that's just how 787 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: business goes, and they'll figure it out. So it works 788 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: for Odell and it works for the team, and we'll 789 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: see where we're at. Can't we get our announcements contracts 790 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: to be like up tomorrow so we could be any 791 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: the top of the list. You about that? All right, 792 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: Let's go to David Cranford, New Jersey. He's on next 793 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: high Dave. You guys, you know, should be excited it. 794 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: It's just great to hear you. He kind of giant 795 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: coverage comes out of the woodwork. But for those of 796 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: us to follow a team all year like the two 797 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: of you, it's not a better place. There's not two 798 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: better people to listen to, get to get up to date, 799 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's just a pleasure to listen 800 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: to you as a matter of fact, if I was 801 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: going as far as making amount rushmore would be on top. 802 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: You're very kind. Now the problem is that you have 803 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: to make your mount rushmore or you know, from two 804 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: different types of stone you need, you need like the 805 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: white pal stone for me, you need. I totally agree. 806 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,959 Speaker 1: We have to find some Italian stone. Yeah, like either 807 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: something or make us out out of bronze. I think 808 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: that works to particularly in the summer. I love it. 809 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: So I try to actually go to two quick things 810 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: do you guys wanted? Um the pace of camp and 811 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: just the difference of you know, and you get the 812 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: focus from Shermer. It's about football. He's a football coach. 813 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: And and the fact that he brings the rookies in 814 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: think about because he knows that he's got call it. 815 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: You know, three if not you know, three and a 816 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: half players on the rookies if they're going to count 817 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: on a lot this year. Obviously sig Kwon, Obviously Hernandez 818 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 1: d J. Hill is going to play a big role. 819 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: Cart Carter is gonna get Carter is gonna get a 820 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: lot of snaps. Three or four guys he brings them 821 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: in early gets them one along with people like every 822 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: Moss and some others that didn't get a lot of practice, 823 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: and then he starts off camp and I was there yesterday. 824 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean the pace of camp, the amount of eleven 825 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 1: on eleven, the amount of real offense and real defense 826 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: going on a first day. I can't remember. I was 827 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: there last year. You know. It was it was a 828 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: it was a walk through, it was a job. It 829 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: was a bunch of individual drills there there, and and 830 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: it's a different philosophy. And by the way, if you 831 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: go look which I try to do, and you go 832 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: look at the Eagles, and you go look at the 833 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys right now, there there too, three four or five 834 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: days behind where the Giants are, which I which I love. 835 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: You know, now we're putting in a new offense, new 836 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: defense which goes both ways. You know, I think it's 837 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: an advantage to us. You know, it'll take some time, 838 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: I think, more on defense to get up to its 839 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: full speed. But the main comment I wanted to make 840 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: was Call's comment about the twelve personnel. You made it 841 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: on TV last night, Paul, which I thought was great. Um, 842 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: you made it again today. I would love I would 843 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,760 Speaker 1: sign up right now if your percentage and the twelve 844 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: personnel was right, I think it will be a little 845 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 1: bit shy of that. I think John is right in 846 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: sense that you know, I still think you know, eleven 847 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: personnel is still the predominant personnel group. But but the 848 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: point around the twelve is the flexibility that Shermer can use. 849 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: Think about the twelve. You run out in twelve, and 850 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: what does your decense do. It's going to come out 851 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: in their based defense, right, think about what they can 852 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: shift out of. They can run out of that with 853 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: two tight ends for sure, which they'll do, but think 854 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: about what they can do to to shift out and 855 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: actually turn into quasi eleven personnel out of that, because 856 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: you split Ingram correct wide out of that and you 857 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: go to eleven. Hey, Dave, you could Quese frankly wide 858 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,600 Speaker 1: and Dave Frankly you could also go of quasi one 859 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: personnel and use Red Allison as a fullback if you 860 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: wanted to also and spread Ingram out, and then you 861 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,439 Speaker 1: can put Barkley in motion like you said, uh uh uh, 862 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 1: to get into a virtual like you know ten personnel 863 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: if you want whatever, You're right. It provides a lot 864 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: of creativity information that I think can give defense is 865 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot of tru All of the offense hasn't figured 866 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: it out, you know, Dave. Most people think that the 867 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: creativity of your schematics on offense are designed for the 868 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: passing game. But that's not true. Because let's just say 869 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,440 Speaker 1: the Giants decide they're gonna go double tight end and 870 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna have Ingram sometimes line up slot 871 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: and sometimes line up next to the line or as 872 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: an h back. Well, what's gonna happen is the defensive 873 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: coordinators gonna say, look, we gotta cover that guy. We're 874 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: gonna go big nickel. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna 875 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: go big nickel because we gotta we gotta watch out 876 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: big Nickel. By the way, as two corners, three safeties 877 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: to Linda right, and you know what happens when he 878 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: does that. The Giants run Si Kwan Barkley for fifteen yards. 879 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: That's what happens. So sometimes the schematics make big plays 880 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: in the run game. It's not all about getting fancy 881 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: with video game football. I totally agree, guys. So it 882 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: was great to hear Paul, great to talk to both 883 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: of you, guys. I'll touch basically again I can't thank 884 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: you enough for your coverage, first class and best in 885 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: the business. Press. The appreciate thanks for being with us. 886 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 1: We have to give you the best coverage from camp 887 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: as we can over the next few weeks. You confound me. 888 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,040 Speaker 1: You couldn't have found enough enough. Jeff and Rhode Island. Jeff, 889 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: what's going on? How you doing? Guys? What's up, buddy? Glad? 890 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: Glad that camps finally here? Yeah? Yeah, I got a 891 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: comment and I have a question for you, Johnny about 892 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, three weeks or so ago, you and 893 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: Charlie were having a discussion back and forth about whether 894 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: it was some kind of a law involved as too, uh, 895 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: the Pro Football nflup, you know, we'll play games on 896 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: Friday or a Saturday night. Yeah, so in fact there 897 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 1: was a war involved with Yes, yeah, that What happened 898 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 1: was Pete Rose went to Congress back in the nineteen 899 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: sixty one and you get a something called the Sports 900 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: Broadcasting Act, which exempted in major league sports broadcasting rights 901 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: from the Anti Trust decisions. So it included in that 902 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: was Congress approving language that bought pro games on Friday 903 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: and Saturday nights during the school season. So yeah, that's 904 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: because Roselle was worried about having a war with the 905 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: n C Double A and and to to to get 906 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: out of that, he basically took a preventative strike and said, okay, 907 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 1: we're we're not going to attack Fridays and Saturdays. And then, 908 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: of course, as you know many years later, what happened 909 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: was once the n C Double A regular season ends 910 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: like the second week of de say, by this week 911 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: in December, then the NFL at that point decided, you 912 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 1: know what, the networks want the money they want, they want, 913 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:49,239 Speaker 1: we want their money, extra games. Let's start putting the thing. 914 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: And I believe this in my heart of hearts. I 915 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,439 Speaker 1: don't know if it's ever gonna happen. It might not 916 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,760 Speaker 1: to me. If you want a third consistent day of football, 917 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: the easiest night to do it is Friday night. I 918 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: know with the high school football, I get it. But 919 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: you know what people are at the end of the 920 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: work week. They're getting home. Friday night is the tired 921 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: I just want to lay down on the couch night 922 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: and you sit there and you watch football. It gives 923 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,319 Speaker 1: you more days off. You don't have the Sunday to 924 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,839 Speaker 1: Thursday issue. Sunday to Friday is much more palatable than 925 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 1: Sunday to Thursday is to me. And again I'm not 926 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: sure I ever gonna happen, and I haven't heard people 927 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: even fighting for it, um, But to me, that's what 928 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: makes the most sense. To Jeff, I've always thought that 929 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: if you wanted to have the the extra game, the 930 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: extra national game, Friday night football, I'm not actually I'm 931 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 1: actually against the third the third day. I don't like 932 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night football in any way shape because it ruins 933 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: the quality of the game. Well, that's why I'm not 934 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: a huge fan of Thursday. I don't want Friday either. 935 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,359 Speaker 1: What I want to do and and I've been told 936 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: business wise, it's very difficult to pull off Tuesday night 937 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 1: football double heads on Monday. I want, I want to. 938 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: I want to. You don't sleep though, that's what I 939 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,879 Speaker 1: want with that. What I want is that's exactly right. 940 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: Mississippi East is the seven o'clock game. Mississippi West. You 941 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: play the ten thirty game ABC. ABC gets one game, 942 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: ESPN gets the other game. Can you give me six 943 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 1: and nine, okay instead of seven and ten? I don't know. 944 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: Six six is not gonna sell because the traffic and 945 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: people getting out of work. You're not gonna sell it. 946 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,839 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go seven and ten thirty. But 947 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 1: ten thirty, the whole coast is asleep. But the games. 948 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. That game is gonna be the 949 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals against the San Francisco forty nine. But you're 950 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,839 Speaker 1: losing the New York market, the Boston market East Coast 951 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: a game at ten, but the East Coast market is 952 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: getting the Giants and Eagles at seven o'clock. Yeah, I don't. 953 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: I would have to have a permanent Saturday game. Then 954 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: that's just me alright, alright or Sunday morning. I like 955 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: to Can you give us any factual information about what 956 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: actually happened with this kid? Deal? Yeah? What happened Jeffy 957 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,319 Speaker 1: He heard himself on that first day of rookie minie 958 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: camp practice And I mean, what actually happened that that 959 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 1: that that I don't know it's ran into somebody by accident, yeah, said, 960 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: Apparently he had a shoulder injury going back to school 961 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: and it's something that got aggravated and they're trying to 962 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,760 Speaker 1: figure out treatment options. He was actually out there yesterday, 963 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: wasn't doing a lot of contacts up, but he was 964 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 1: out there, so they have not despite the stories. So 965 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago from Diana Versini, they have 966 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 1: not labeled him out for the year now, so they're 967 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,839 Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out the best way forward for him. 968 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: Maybe they can figure out a way to like, you know, 969 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,399 Speaker 1: keep that shoulder in place during the year and play 970 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 1: through it. Who knows, they're working on it. I'm sure 971 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 1: they'll have a resolution at some point next week or so, 972 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: you know. I'm I'm sure that Giants did jo diligence 973 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 1: checking this kid out, But man, I hate to see 974 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: us going down a path or drafting these kids that 975 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: have had prior injuries, been there and done that. It 976 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: hasn't worked, you have. The funny thing is to the 977 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: Giants are pretty conservative with that stuff. They will they 978 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,960 Speaker 1: will take players off the board much more often than 979 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: other teams will, which is why, you know, just think 980 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 1: back to like, you know, oh, dig I mean, he 981 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 1: had the bad hips and everything, and we still drafted him. 982 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: How did that work out? I just don't want I 983 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: want to see us go down that road anymore. I 984 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: hear you, Jeff, Thanks, Do you think zos failures have 985 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: to do with the hips. Do you think he just 986 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,960 Speaker 1: didn't love football? Know well? And he's coming back now 987 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,640 Speaker 1: I believe is that true? I didn't know that. I 988 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: think it's Cardinals. Maybe. Really he's in camps, he's coming well. 989 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,400 Speaker 1: He I know he intended to come back and he signed. 990 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: Now did he report? I don't know when. Did that happen? 991 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 1: A few weeks ago? Really? Yeah? A little. I don't 992 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: know exactly why he did not pan out. I know 993 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: the Giants had projected him from a run stopping defensive 994 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: end to be a pass rusher and it just didn't 995 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 1: didn't go down the bills. Okay, there you go. Um, 996 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: let's see did he report? Yeah, it looks like yeah, 997 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: he reported. Report. I wish him luck. He's a he's 998 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: a really good guy, really nice guy. Um, and you 999 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: love the draft pick when they made it. I still 1000 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: remember I did. I did because value people had him 1001 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,720 Speaker 1: as a late one, early two. It was good value. 1002 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,439 Speaker 1: And again this the pro scouts projected him. They said, 1003 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, want U c. L A did and use 1004 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: them much as a pass rusher. But we can develop that, 1005 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: we can use him as that. We had that length. 1006 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: That's what you wanted. The pass which those long yes, 1007 00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: and then it just never worked out. Alright, three more 1008 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: calls before you say, could buy Jose and Orlando's up next? Jose? 1009 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: How doing somebody? Hey, Paul, are you still a thoughtless No? 1010 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: I I had brainlock this morning and I what happened. 1011 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: I'm wearing socks today and my Nikes well, you know, 1012 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 1: wear socks yesterday.

If if something, if something happens 1016 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,880 Speaker 1: to him on the practice field during training, your fault. 1017 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: It's because I put the whammy on him by putting 1018 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,319 Speaker 1: walks on today. I wasn't aware of This was what 1019 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 1: brought up on the D yesterday. Brought it up on 1020 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: bb K, Yester.

But 1025 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: how are you gonna wear no socks?

He didn't tell me I couldn't wear socks 1028 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,000 Speaker 1: at home, but still he just told me I could 1029 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: wear them at the practice. But in between, like media 1030 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: bills and practically, you'd like to get your walks in 1031 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes, but are you gonna brain like sneakers and socks? 1032 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: Don't wait a minute? Practice didn't wait, wait, practice didn't start. 1033 00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 1: I can take my socks off before I go to practice. 1034 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 1: Tell you'll tell LPG, because LPG was all over me 1035 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,160 Speaker 1: on this this morning.

How about the right you do? You gotta 1038 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,919 Speaker 1: do what you gotta do. Faul gotta do it, Hey 1039 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:10,680 Speaker 1: John too soon? Go ahead and I'm sorry, Well, no, 1040 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: I gotta kick out. Listen, I just got a question 1041 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: on Actually, you guys elaborated a little bit to it 1042 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: towards the last quaral that was called. That called in 1043 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: the sam Bale situation, you know, we have no idea 1044 00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: where it's gonna go. If he's gonna play through pain, 1045 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 1: depending on the degree of whatever, what kind of pain 1046 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 1: he's going through, what pain management he can handle, let's 1047 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: say he's out for the year, and who do you 1048 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: guys think that can slide in and because we didn't 1049 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: know if he was going to start or not, but 1050 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 1: let's say he did because of the talent that he 1051 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 1: had third round pick. You know, who knows, but you 1052 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: know it's wishy washy. I get that, John, But who 1053 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: do you think now that we're minus another corner and 1054 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 1: we're already looking for corners maybe in the in the 1055 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,359 Speaker 1: in the market. As far as guys getting released, now, 1056 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 1: do you think who do you think is going to 1057 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,840 Speaker 1: slide in there? And you think is there any possibility 1058 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,240 Speaker 1: that maybe they'll call VRC to come back in a 1059 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: limited role or somehow. I think DRC is gonna wait 1060 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 1: as long as possible so he doesn't have to practice. 1061 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,720 Speaker 1: I think that's been the plan all along. I bet you. 1062 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he is under the table handshake deal 1063 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: with anybody. But would it shock me if I found 1064 00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 1: out that his agent has like quasi like you know, cool, 1065 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, let's wait till we get closer to the 1066 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,240 Speaker 1: season and maybe we'll talk again. I think that's probably 1067 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 1: certainly the case. Um, whether or not it's gonna be 1068 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: here I have no idea in terms of who's gonna 1069 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,400 Speaker 1: replace Beal. I don't think he was ever gonna be 1070 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: one of your top three corners anyway, because he's not 1071 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: a real slock I with a lot of slot experience, 1072 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 1: So I think he would have been your fourth corner 1073 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 1: at best. So I think that Slock corner spot. I 1074 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: still think you look at a combination of Grant Haley, 1075 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: the undrafted free agent Donte Dion, and I think you 1076 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 1: look at William Gay, and those are the three guys 1077 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: that I think are primarily in competition. Didn't miss anybody 1078 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,760 Speaker 1: that I pull. Those are three guys. Yeah, yeah, little guys. 1079 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: I like Dante Dion out of the three that you mentioned. 1080 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: And I know game I have a little bit, but 1081 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: I like Dante dn He has he he has a 1082 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: good ceiling. What I've seen, um, it looks like he 1083 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 1: could possibly maybe pull it off. Hopefully I'll have a 1084 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: good camp. But listen, guys, I appreciate you taking my 1085 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,320 Speaker 1: call today. Again, it's second call calling you guys.

I 1088 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: don't love Lance Man, but he's he has the personality 1089 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 1: of Joe Friday man down, and I mean there's no 1090 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:39,919 Speaker 1: color with that guy. Appreciate it. And by the way, 1091 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 1: when you said there's no Lancetter, you can take that 1092 00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,320 Speaker 1: many different ways as well as pale as a cleanex 1093 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: tissue like I think even actually he goes out in 1094 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 1: the sun, you can actually like see his organs like 1095 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: topping through his skin Joe Friday, Right, Um, I I 1096 00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of have an idea, but I don't know that 1097 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: he's detective of sometimes ragnet.

I 1101 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:14,840 Speaker 1: think I need to say that on the incident replay 1102 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,719 Speaker 1: to play back for Lance at some point, what do 1103 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: you think, I mean, that's the guy who goes just 1104 00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 1: the facts man, and that well that actually sounds like Lance. 1105 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 1: I think you are calling him Lance Friday about that 1106 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: called him Lance Friday.

Charlie's a Charlie when you're coming down hopefully. 1109 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll make it. But the last 1110 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 1: I gotta ticket for the last day of camp, I 1111 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: mean last day of h yeah, the last day of 1112 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:48,480 Speaker 1: camp August ninth or eight or something like that.

I can't believe Odell 1117 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: is like pointing Charlie out in this dance. That's what 1118 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 1: that's about, right, Oh, it was. But honestly, with with 1119 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,840 Speaker 1: with with with my like overly grumpy old man in 1120 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: the balcony. Yet what my wife likes to tell me 1121 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: all the time when I start complaining and doing my 1122 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 1: little thing, She's like, get out of the balcony, because 1123 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: remember the old t muppet guys used to be in 1124 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: the balcony and like yelling, So she always tells me 1125 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,399 Speaker 1: to get out of the balcony. That was definitely mid 1126 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: balcony moment. I was seeing something that annoyed me and 1127 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: I wasn't hiding it. It It might have been guys like 1128 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: maybe dancing around during stretching or something like that, where 1129 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: you know it's like that's just stretch, not the dance around. 1130 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: That's what my guess is is what that face was for. 1131 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: You don't have a problem with that. I'm a grumpy 1132 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 1: old man sometimes. Charlie was hot outside. I was grumpy. 1133 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: What do you want? Just remember no dancing in the 1134 00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: end zone. He's right, go ahead and you score. Yeah, 1135 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,720 Speaker 1: I was.

He seemed a 1137 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 1: little humbled, a little more humble when he spoke. And 1138 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 1: I really like that, especially about Odell. And I told 1139 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: you guys, he weren't he weren't. The Giants weren't talking 1140 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 1: to Odell. I knew that you guys should have known that, 1141 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: and we found out that they weren't. But it's good 1142 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 1: that they're going to be very soon. And uh, I thought, uh, 1143 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 1: I thought that was great. Uh. You know, Adele has 1144 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,880 Speaker 1: been doing all the right things, you know, and I 1145 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: think that really made a good impact on on the 1146 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,279 Speaker 1: on the Giants and uh and he you know, he's 1147 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 1: he's a great player, and he's a great teammate and 1148 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: he's a guy that you want in your organization because 1149 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: he is a guy that hates to lose games. Not 1150 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:55,640 Speaker 1: just loves to play, but hates to lose. So Bra 1151 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 1: said Trulie. The he's it's going in the right direction. 1152 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: It seems like he's grown up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, 1153 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,560 Speaker 1: so yeah, that's that's good, you know, you know, I 1154 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: mean he has so far because it hasn't been any 1155 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: games yet, but hopefully, hopefully that will maintain. Yeah, I 1156 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: think I think he I think he will. And to say, hey, 1157 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,160 Speaker 1: I uh, I hooked up with Sam Beale on Twitter, 1158 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: so I sent him out of uh you know, uh 1159 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: care package what he should do for his shoulder. I 1160 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,799 Speaker 1: told him, don't get an operation, do this first and 1161 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 1: do some treatment and your shoulders. Your shoulders going to 1162 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: be better. I should have warned something about Charlie. You know, 1163 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have pr put out a press. I'm gonna 1164 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,319 Speaker 1: have them create like a memo now for all the 1165 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 1: players with like your picture and Twitter handle, just to 1166 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 1: make sure that they block you immediately. No, no disrespect intended, 1167 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: But from some of the things that you've told us 1168 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: over the years, I suspect some of the substances you 1169 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: use are banned by the league. No, they're not. Hey 1170 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 1: asked John about his friend's dog and he used on 1171 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:10,120 Speaker 1: around his dog's leg and it would turned out great. Right, Yeah, 1172 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't remember that, but you are okay. Thank you, Charlie. Guys, 1173 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: have a great week. He makes me laugh. He makes 1174 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 1: me laugh. Tony and Philly's gonna wrap us up. What's up? Tone? 1175 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,120 Speaker 1: Hey guys, I just want to say, first, is such 1176 00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 1: a nice breather to be able to hear you here 1177 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 1: from Philadelphia. There's nothing else for it than the Eagle. 1178 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: So thanks for that, Thanks for sticking with us. Yes, um, 1179 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,520 Speaker 1: so first I have to comment, Um, we saw yesterday 1180 00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,879 Speaker 1: although three Obie, and today we saw Collins. They are 1181 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: all pressing the the offense this year. I think that's 1182 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: the first for maybe two or three years. Now what 1183 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,160 Speaker 1: are they doing? I'm sorry, they're all saying like great 1184 00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: things about the offense this year. Well, I mean, Tony, 1185 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 1: everyone says good things about the offense every year. I 1186 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: mean to be honest with you, the proof is gonna 1187 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,839 Speaker 1: be in the pudding talk. As great as John Marras 1188 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: said yesterday, he was feeling great about last year's team 1189 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,879 Speaker 1: at this time last year, and so is everybody else. 1190 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,239 Speaker 1: So I need to see it before I'm like, all right, 1191 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 1: this really is really is good. Until I see it, 1192 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: I need I'm gonna be all right. Let's wait and say, Tony, 1193 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: there's one thing I would say to you when John's right, 1194 00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,960 Speaker 1: because this time last year we're talking about Brandon Marshall, 1195 00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: Ingram Beckham and Shephard and it's like, wow, you know, 1196 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 1: so he's right. I know Paul Perkins is in the 1197 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 1: second year, he's gonna be right. We all we really 1198 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 1: and I'm going he comes back from injury and still 1199 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: has a good career. I'm at the bottom of the 1200 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,880 Speaker 1: river on that one. Okay, it's a bad one, but 1201 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 1: but let me say one thing, Tony that that does 1202 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: give some validity what you're saying. Two of the greatest 1203 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,720 Speaker 1: running backs in Giants history, Tacky Barber and Rodney Hampton. 1204 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: I've talked to Rodney personally, and I know someone who 1205 00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,160 Speaker 1: has talked to Tikey. Both of those guys who know 1206 00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 1: this game. They know about offensive lines, they know about 1207 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: running backs, they know about schemes. Tiki believes that Sa 1208 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley is gonna break all of his Giants records 1209 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 1: and that he really believes some impressive records, by the way, 1210 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,840 Speaker 1: and he's got a right to say that. And if 1211 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 1: he thinks that, that carries some weight with me. And 1212 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 1: there's all the dependent but not he can stay healthy 1213 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,120 Speaker 1: or not, no question that's going to be it. But 1214 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,600 Speaker 1: but but there's an eye there for the talent. Sure. 1215 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,080 Speaker 1: Rodney Hampton just told me the same thing this morning. 1216 00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 1: He thinks that Sa Kwan is absolutely out of this world. 1217 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: He cannot believe the skill set that Barkley brings to 1218 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,920 Speaker 1: the field. He's absolutely jacked to watch Barkley put on 1219 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 1: a Giant uniform. So those two guys, you know what, 1220 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: they may not be professional scouts, but they've done it before. 1221 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: I did read that on those comments. Um. A quick 1222 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 1: quick comment to Um and mate Solder. I remember back 1223 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: in the days, some of the Giants fans like me, 1224 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 1: we all criticize how much we spend on him, and 1225 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: I was seeing that that was about the right price 1226 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: for good safe left tackle. It's the it's the price. 1227 00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 1: It's the price of doing business. And look, when you 1228 00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: go out and freight seen, you pay somebody. It doesn't 1229 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,560 Speaker 1: matter who you sign, you probably pay a little bit 1230 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: more than you want. But that's the price of doing business. 1231 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 1: And for agency, and and and thanks a lot for 1232 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,120 Speaker 1: the call. We appreciate it. We gotta run. But yeah, 1233 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean absolutely. And I think he's not gonna be, 1234 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, the best left tackle in football, and that's fine, 1235 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: but he's gonna certainly be an improvement and stabilize that line. 1236 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: I agree. What are you doing over here? I'm answering. 1237 00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm answering a question about the socks. You gotta all 1238 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: these sock gifts like Jiff or gif. You're our social 1239 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: media guy. It's gift you like gift? All right, I'll 1240 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,640 Speaker 1: go with a gift. There A couple of tweets, Um, 1241 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: you're now training? K think him? Is? PAULI? No socks? Um, 1242 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 1: Dylan Davis? Who do you think will be the third 1243 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 1: wide receiver outside of Odell and Shepherd? I think Lattimer's 1244 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,640 Speaker 1: probably got the leg up on that, right, Paul, Yeah, 1245 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: he's got the leg up on it. I'd agree with that, 1246 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 1: Um Mark in Chicago, he said, just in regards to 1247 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,479 Speaker 1: the scheduling discussion, he always believe the Super Bowl should 1248 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 1: be on a Saturday night so people don't have to 1249 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 1: be hungover the following take on to work on Monday morning. 1250 00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 1: Remember they were talking about a lot trying to put 1251 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: on President's Day weekends, so people off that Monday and 1252 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: then Giants Fan nineties six Lorenzo Carter sounds like the 1253 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,920 Speaker 1: next of course, but Iowagizu, which is true, But don't. 1254 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't see much of a connection that will be 1255 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: honest with you. So and let's not forget, by the way, 1256 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: when we talk about the pass rush, in reality, Moss 1257 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: is like a rookie again because he barely played, and 1258 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: he's got a whole new coaching staff in playbooks, he's 1259 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: he's almost like a bonus draft pick really in a way. Paul, 1260 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 1: good stuff. Yeah, it's but a lot of fun today. 1261 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 1: This is a good show. It's a good show.
