1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: Thirty boy, it's hot touchdown and a flag is down

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: on the far side of the eleven yard line. So

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: for the moment, Ronnie Bell gets into the end zone.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: First down and goal now from the eight yard line

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: and a big hole and pulling his way is Matt

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Brida for a touchdown. Pressure deep, hot, Samuel hearts out.

7
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: There. It is the big horn at the big Bell bottom.

8
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: As a San Francisco forty nine ers take care of

9
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: business on Thursday Night football. Let the Giants hang around

10
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: a little bit, but ultimately never a game in doubt.

11
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Thirty to twelve final. San Francisco improves to three and

12
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: zero on the season. The Giants fall to one and two.

13
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: Dan Hans is here along with the great Mark Sessler

14
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: and Mark we knew this was a big challenge for

15
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: the Giants. Best of circumstances, it's not the best of circumstances.

16
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley has a high ankle sprain. I thought it

17
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: was an ordinary sprain. Mark, it's a high angel sprain.

18
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: He confirmed it today on Amazon in an interview. So

19
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: he's out this week and beyond that, and he takes

20
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: Saquon out of the mix. And this was just a

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: mismatch really from the start.

22
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it kind of is set apart for me

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: a little bit with some of these Thursday night games

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: where you kind of think you know what's gonna happen,

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: and then because it's Thursday night, and they talked even

26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: tonight about the fact that, like you can't even really

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: teach your scout team quickly enough what the other team

28
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: might do. It's like it's just it's such a compacted

29
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: practice and a lot of teams don't even have a

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: physical practice.

31
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: But still so that.

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: Creates this weirdness and Thursday nights where like games go awry,

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: they go a little strange.

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 4: But what the more realistic scenario.

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: Is, it's like you kind of lean on who you are,

36
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: and I think we just saw these two teams for

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: who they were tonight, and one of them is stripped

38
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: of their best player. It's a running back, and so

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: your backup Matt Brida comes in and rushes only four

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: times for seventeen yards.

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: The Giants, who I.

42
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: Think, if anything, they needed to create disturbance and problems

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: out of the gate. You don't get Darren Waller a

44
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: catch until I think a minute to go for the

45
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: half and the Niners.

46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: You know, just did what they did, like if anything win.

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: I thought the plan was with Wink Martindale was to

48
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: come out and throw everything at brock Purty and try

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 3: to create chaos and mistakes, and they did. Like there's

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: an interesting stat let me bring this up here. It's

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: I saw from PFF that they blitzed the forty nine

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: ers on eighty three percent of their snaps in the

53
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: first half, which is the fourth highest rate of any

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: game of the past five years.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: So there was a plan there.

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 3: There was a concept of like we can still maybe

57
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: take this young quarterback and throw them off. His game

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 3: and party wasn't perfect, but it's like there's too much

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 3: happening with his Niners offense.

60
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: Brandon Ayuku is not in there.

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: But it's like they found a way just to make

62
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: enough big plays where I found it to be sort

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: of a prosaic, not very memorable game.

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: And to be honest with you, this happens to us

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: when you're going to.

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: Cover every one of these And the Niners sort of

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: performed exactly to the standards that I would have expected

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: on a lower octane night out at the ballpark.

69
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they were obviously the better team. We knew that,

70
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: and but they it was almost like they didn't put

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: the foot on the accelerator throughout the game because they

72
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: knew they didn't need to for the most part. And

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: Rock Party, like you said, he wasn't as accurate, and

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: he kind of warmed up as the game went along,

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: So he had no Brandon Ayuk. The connection with Debo

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: is off early on, and yet they were able to.

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: You know, when the passing game's not right, you have

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey there and McCaffrey in an otherwise I guess

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 2: you could call it ho hum game. Another one hundred

80
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: yards from scrimmage, eighty five rushing yards, yet another TD,

81
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: which is pretty remarkable. I think he has a touchdown

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: now in twelve consecutive games, which is just amazing. I mean,

83
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: to have that level of consistency, it feels like we've

84
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: I don't want to jinx the men. It feels like

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: we're a long way away now from that cursed period

86
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: of his career where you know he couldn't stay on

87
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: the field. He's really become everything San Francisco could have

88
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: could have wanted. And so when you have McCaffrey there

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: and you have Debo there, who eventually warmed up and

90
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: he had another great classic debo game. Deebo's one of

91
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: my favorite players in the league. He's so fun to watch.

92
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: He had seventy seven yards after catch in this game,

93
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: and that was before he caught the long touchdown. That

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: kind of was the exclamation point on this game, and

95
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: it was also one of my favorite debo things. Mark

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: I talked about it during our Fantasy Extravaganza. There's one

97
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: bit of a devil's bargain with Deebo Samuel In fantasy,

98
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: there will be a handful of moments. I don't mean

99
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: just one or two. There's gonna be six or seven

100
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: moments where you're watching a Niners game and Deebo goes

101
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: down on the field and all of a sudden, they

102
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: cut to commercial with the entire medical staff around him,

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: and you're thinking to yourself, well, that's I gotta go

104
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: to the waiver wire. This is crushing. My team's ever

105
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: gonna be the same. He misses three plays and then

106
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: he comes back and scores a touchdown. He's been doing

107
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: this his whole career. It's one of my favorite things

108
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: that about him is he's a showman when it comes

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: to injuries.

110
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 4: He really is.

111
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: I thought of you tonight because you're one of the

112
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: people that brought that up and kind of encapsulated it

113
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: in a perfect way.

114
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: Like he's been.

115
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Doing this like for for years, and like tonight I

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 3: was I was watching this with a couple of kids,

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: like with a friend or two, and it was just like, wait,

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: Deebo does this all the time. He's like down the

119
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: on the ground like arms spread.

120
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Like yeah, medical. So you're literally wondering, I mean, is

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: he dead, Like yeah, yeah.

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: Will we ever see him again in this capacity or

123
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 3: will they be wheeled out to old age events? And

124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 3: then like two plays later, he's like walking around like

125
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: this with his like shoulder pads bouncing around. It's like

126
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: he knows what he's doing. He's uh, I love him

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: for this, Like I think he's enjoyable. And it's like,

128
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: you know, I look at this team. It's like I

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: think we both can say like we've seen.

130
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: The Niners when they're operating at.

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: A feverish pace and they're just like hand around the

132
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: neck of the opponent and the opponent is dying slowly,

133
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: like this was not that game, and it said they

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: still had fourteen first downs to New York's five, and

135
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: had the half two hundred and forty four yards by

136
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 3: the break. One plays to twenty four twenty minutes of possession,

137
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: seven of ten for third down, which is like a

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: third down is a weird stat but like, when you're

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: seven for ten, you're about as efficient as you can

140
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: possibly be. And the Giants had twelve yards rushing, and

141
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: then you're asking Daniel Jones, who we don't totally believe in,

142
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: to save the day with a bunch of wide receivers

143
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 3: we don't totally believe in, and Darren Waller's not involved. Earling,

144
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: It's like you can just see it on Brian Daball's face. Man,

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: he like, I love day Ball, but like he was

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: so frustrated. And it's like their schedule has been tough.

147
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: They've been in a tough spot to begin with, and

148
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: this just exacerbated it.

149
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 4: But the Niners have played.

150
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: Like a a gentleman's sea game and dominated statistically in

151
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: the first half against another NFL team.

152
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: I think he tells you a lot about both teams,

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: and even with saquon, the Giants are a tier or

154
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: even two beneath the San Francisco who they're so good

155
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: mark that, like when you see that they drafted Jake Moody,

156
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: which was a total the type of draft pick of

157
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: team makes when they are so full of themselves about

158
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: their roster. We'll go take on day two, We'll go

159
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: grab a kicker because that's the only real glaring hole

160
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: we have left. Even though the previous kicker, Robbie Gould,

161
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: was one of the best veterans in the league. And

162
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: now that guy has started nine for nine Moody as

163
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: a rookie, so he's not Roberto Oguyo. And you know,

164
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: it's almost like they have a big time player at

165
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: almost every position, certainly the glamour positions. And I andnderstand

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: Purdy were not ready to put him in the Hall

167
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: of Fame, but he's a very, very good fit for

168
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: this offense. But they have a superstar left tackle. They

169
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: have at least one superstar wide receiver and maybe two.

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: They have the best all round running back in the league.

171
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: They have one of the best edge rushers in the league.

172
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: They have one of the best linebackers in the league

173
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: and Fred Warner. They have big they have depth in

174
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: the secondary. They have everything that you could want on

175
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: a team, and anything short of a super Bowl this

176
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: season is considered failure for this organization, which there's pressure there.

177
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: So I think games like this when they don't even

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: seem to be playing that well and they still take

179
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: care of business, that's what really good teams do, and

180
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: kind of swing it back to the Giants because you've

181
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: mentioned his name twice, Mark, I am not into this

182
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: Darren Waller situation with the Giants. I like that Kirk

183
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: Herbstreet was kind of calling Waller out. I don't think

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: Waller's effort level was where it needed to be near

185
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: the end of his Raiders time really maybe coincidentally when

186
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: he got a huge contract and Herbstreet all but called

187
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: the guy out for not trying hard in this game.

188
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 2: And it is a bad sign when Darren Waller is

189
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: not coming down with contested catches. When the Giants one

190
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: of their biggest glaring deficiency is they don't have a

191
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: true number one wide receiver, and that's something I think

192
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna see them address aggressively in the upcoming offseason,

193
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: whether it's going after a guy like T Higgins or

194
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: through the draft they because that is a big hole

195
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: in this roster. Ostensibly, Darren Waller Mark was supposed to

196
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: be this guy that filled that hole and was a

197
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: red zone monster. I'm just not seeing it through three weeks,

198
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: and I don't know, like Herbstreet, if this guy is

199
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: really giving everything he can to this offense when they

200
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: need him so badly.

201
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that criticism.

202
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: I kind of liked that from an announcer to begin with,

203
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys shy away from that. You're

204
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: down your number one running back, your best player on offense,

205
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: like you said, you don't You've got some you got

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: Jalen Hie, you got some young interesting guys in wide out.

207
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: But this should have been the Darren Waller game. Now,

208
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 3: I don't think that would have made the entire difference

209
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: had he even played one of his better games against

210
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: this team. But like it's a combination of like the

211
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: Giants not finding a way to get on the ball early,

212
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: and that could be a Daniel Jones thing. Like I said,

213
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: you didn't have a catch till right before half. You

214
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: can question the effort. It's hard for me to gauge that,

215
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: like as a viewer necessarily, but I would say that

216
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: like the plan for him seems not totally on point

217
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 3: on any level, and like the Giants.

218
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: Just looks so different than the guy in the Raiders

219
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: three or four years ago. Now, yeah, and the guy

220
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: we've seen remember to get you knew that. The one

221
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: thing it was a good trade at the time, but

222
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: the one thing that smelled funny was why do how

223
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: do the Raiders make him? I think he might have

224
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: been the highest paid tight end in the league when

225
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: they gave him the contractor close to it, and then

226
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: one year later dump him for a Day two pick,

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: and like, you just wonder if there's more to it,

228
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: and they did. There was a shot to Brian Dable

229
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: after the ball that kramed off his hands for the

230
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: interception that kind of was the end to end of

231
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: the game where you could tell Dables' faces like come on, bro, yeah,

232
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: you got to help me out here. And so it's this.

233
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: They didn't lose because of Darren Waller tonight, but I

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: think they have an issue like it. Daniel Jones is

235
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: not maybe a star, but I don't know if he has,

236
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: especially with that barklay. There a lot at his disposal

237
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: to really put together consistent production week after week, not

238
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: let him off the hook. But unless you know people

239
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: are higher on Waller, I get it. Then it's there

240
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 2: when Barkley comes back. But I think there are a

241
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: couple of guys away on that offense.

242
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and I think like you have your

243
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 3: Graybeard's roster that you create the final like elderly unsigned,

244
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: previously star free agents, and I think there should be

245
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: another roster where it's like Kenny Pickett would be the quarterback,

246
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: Darren Waller would be the tight end. Where it's like

247
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: we spend a month plus or two or three months

248
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: hearing about how glowing you know it was Michael, it

249
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: was Robinson, Alan Robinson a year ago, like these guys

250
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 3: that get the five or six weeks of like insane

251
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: beat writer praise in print and inc. And then the

252
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 3: season happens and it's like, wait, Kenny Pickett doesn't look

253
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: good and Darren Waller is not fitting in so well

254
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: in this offense, and it's Mark, are.

255
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: You pitching a really good Wednesday podcast segment right now?

256
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: Maybe stand pin in it. I know what you're saying, though,

257
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: got hype bunnies from the summer who now are getting

258
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: you know, we're heading into week three. We got to

259
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: start to see some of that anything else kind of

260
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: jump out to you. I'll throw a couple of things

261
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: out there. You mentioned third down efficiency. I love that

262
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: stat because it tells you a lot. I think about

263
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: both the offense and the opposing defense. Gents could not

264
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: get off the field on this game. Maybe it's a

265
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 2: different game if they do get off the field. A

266
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: couple times in this game. I mentioned that I think

267
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: a lack of a wide receiver one is glaring. They

268
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: have a bright spot on that defense. And Mike McFadden,

269
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: who was all over the field in this game and

270
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: had a great in addition to every time they needed

271
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: a you know, a big hit, he seemed to be there.

272
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: He knocked away a touchdown to Christian McCaffrey, which means,

273
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: you know, he's in coverage down field swatting a ball

274
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: out of McCaffrey's hands, and nobody does that. So they

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: have a player in McFadden. So it wasn't all bad

276
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: for the Giants, and in general, Mark like based on

277
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: when you look at their first three weeks, it's been

278
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: a little topsy turvy. But they hung in this game

279
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: for about three quarters and you could give them a

280
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: little bit of credit for that, even if the Niners

281
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: maybe didn't perform at their typical levels.

282
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so, like compared to the last two

283
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: games where the Giants did this like multiple personality scenario

284
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: situation last week against Arizona, They're outscored sixty three to

285
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: six in the first half this season through tonight. That's messy,

286
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: and but they were not a disaster out of the gate.

287
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: I think we're seeing a more stabilized version. But the

288
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: stabilized version is going to win about six or seven

289
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: games the team that I'm seeing right now. So I

290
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: think if you're a Giants fin, you're disappointed because like

291
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: you'd like to build off of what happened last year,

292
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: and you'd like to have all the people that giggled

293
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: at you saying like, well we were wrong, like they

294
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: actually were that team and they can consistently build off

295
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: of that. I don't love the idea that someone like

296
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: Adore Jackson gets hurt tonight. It's like they're losing their

297
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: best players and they and they're in the player that's

298
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: paid the most, Daniel Jones.

299
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 4: Is half baked. It's like, uh, I want to ask

300
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: you this.

301
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: Because I went and looked at Nick Schuk is doing

302
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: QB Index doing a great job. I read the whole

303
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: thing two weeks in a row, and like he's a

304
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: great writer and like he's got a good eye for this.

305
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: But like he is Party at number eight in his list.

306
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: That's a that's before tonight, But that, like that is

307
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: intriguing to me. I think that's like I kept trying

308
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: to inflate him last year and it was like people

309
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 3: are killing me, but it was like I just liked,

310
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: I like what I see from Party. But like Daniel

311
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Jones down at number twenty one, and like I don't

312
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: have a problem with that either, Like it's like that's

313
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 3: who he is.

314
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: Like they they paid the guy they had and there

315
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: was no other options.

316
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: But like Daniel Jones outside of the two quarters against

317
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: the Cardinals is not getting done this year and it's

318
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: like he's not their answer next year.

319
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: I like, you're stuck with him financially.

320
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: But like, wow, you're down on him.

321
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: Huh Well, so like I know, so I think number

322
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: one is floor is high because he can run really

323
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: well and like when you win everything around him, like

324
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: last year it seemed like for the first time in

325
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: his career and why I do. I do like the

326
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 3: idea of him, Like everything around him kind of works.

327
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: Saquon was healthy, Like how many injuries did they deal

328
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: with in the years before? With Saquon and all the

329
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: wide outs, It's like, finally they got it. Daniel Jones

330
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: put it together. He had a couple of games where

331
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 3: it's like, I mean, I don't like I like his arm,

332
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: talent and all the other business, but it's like, this

333
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: is just a guy that's going to be here until

334
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: the next New York Giants quarterback, like two seasons from now,

335
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: ur a year from now.

336
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 4: It's like, what evidence do we have right now that

337
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 4: he's their dude? Beyond like this.

338
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: Year next I would say, uh, we disagree on this.

339
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: I think he really did did take a big step

340
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: forward last season, and this year has been I mean,

341
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: it's it's really hard. The Cowboys game in Week one

342
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: was what it was. It was, it was grim, They

343
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: got blown out by a much better team, bad weather game.

344
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: He was phenomenal in that comeback win over the Cardinals

345
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: last week and you could say it's the Cardinals, but whatever,

346
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 2: he was a big time in that game and this game,

347
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: like I'm pointing to it I'm pointing to he's missing

348
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: his best player. The offensive line didn't keep him clean,

349
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: he didn't have a running game, Darren Waller can't do

350
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: a damn thing, and they don't have like enough weapons

351
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: for him to go to. So I just don't think

352
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: he's the problem right now for the Giants. I think

353
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: the schedule is a big problem for the Giants. I

354
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: think starting with the Cowboys in Week one and then

355
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: getting the Niners on a short week on the road

356
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: in Week three is their biggest problem because they're not

357
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: an elite team and they're gonna be exposed in these

358
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: type of situations. That's that's where.

359
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: I no, I hear you, and I'm not trying to

360
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 3: be too like down on Daniel Jones, but I just

361
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 3: think there's like if we've watched you and I have

362
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: probably watched probably like four hundred quarterbacks in our lives,

363
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 3: right Like there's these tiers, and like Daniel Jones to

364
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 3: me is in the tier of like great athlete, great

365
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 3: not maybe not great quarterback, but I see it as

366
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 3: an athlete. I see like the physical specimen and what

367
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 3: it can do. Everything needs to be right around him.

368
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 3: I think we've watched quarterbacks where it's like you're watching

369
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: like four apocalypses occur around them and they're somehow still

370
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: surviving the storm.

371
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: Like I just don't see him that way.

372
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: Like it's not that I'm down on him, it's just

373
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 3: like they got to manage him and deal with what

374
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: they have, and like the pieces around him are not

375
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: living up. They're hurt or they're not living up to

376
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: the billion and it's like that'll put any quarterback in

377
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: a tough situation. But like Daniel Jones isn't the first

378
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: guy I trust to like save them, Like I mean,

379
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 3: he'll go.

380
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: He's spurts. He spurts.

381
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: Like the second half against Arizona, which is the game

382
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: I tracked last week in the office, was like, you see,

383
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: this is the last year's Giants team. But then you

384
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: lose Saquon and then suddenly everything else falls around a

385
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: part of around on you, and the Giants are gonna

386
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: win six or seven games. And it's not Brian Dables' fault.

387
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: It's like he's not doing a lesser coaching job. I

388
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: don't like the Dallas game, but like it's not a

389
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: lesser coaching job. It's just like a lot of stuff

390
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: a lot of crap is happening, a lot of nonsense

391
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: and bs is unfolding around you left and right, fog

392
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: a war, and you got to fight through it.

393
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: I'll just say different types of players. But a lot

394
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: of people felt that way about his predecessor as well.

395
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: And now he's well, I would sell fame with two rings,

396
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: So he's not what I guess what I'm saying Mark

397
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: is like. There are quarterbacks that are high level, big times,

398
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, star quarterbacks that can lift a team up

399
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: and take them higher if you just give him a

400
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: nice setup. Then there are quarterbacks that are solid guys

401
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: that like a Kirk Cousin tier Kirk Cousins tier, and

402
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: I think Daniel Jones is in that tier where if

403
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: you surround him with the right team, watch out, like

404
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: that team could make some noise. Actually, if you get

405
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, I'll like a Joe Flacco who's that

406
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: type of guy too. You put him with the right team,

407
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: you get to January, and some magical things happen. Eli

408
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: Manning another example. He could actually end up going on

409
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: a running and look elite for a month and and

410
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 2: and you know, flags fly forever. So I think That's

411
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: where the giants probably see Jones. I don't think they

412
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,719
Speaker 2: see him as Patrick Mahomes, but they see him as

413
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: a guy that like we could put him in here,

414
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: and if we surround him with talent, he's gonna thrive it.

415
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at on him.

416
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: I know I'm with you, and like I don't want

417
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 3: to like I don't want to exit this uh and

418
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: or not like I don't want to exit the conversation

419
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: with me as like suddenly I'm anti Eli manning to

420
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: like like I love Elion, like uh, you know, like I'm.

421
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 4: A pro giant, I'm prone to be pro giants.

422
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: That's why I'm a little surprised by how down down

423
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: you are on mister Dimes right now.

424
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 4: I just I don't. I just I feel like we've

425
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: got a large enough.

426
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 2: Tough spot to Markie. That's a tough spot for Danny.

427
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: I like you whatever, It's fine. Well we'll see.

428
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not desurbed. Like I don't determine his faith.

429
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 3: He will determine his faith, so will fate.

430
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: Fate will determine his faith.

431
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: So well. Put you know who doesn't care about anything,

432
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: including fate. This is another reoccurring theme that I forgot about.

433
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: Al Michaels is in the Golden Years, and Al is

434
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: now on Amazon, and he's like, I don't even know

435
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: if Al knows what Amazon is. But Al's on Amazon

436
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: and he's getting paid a lot of money to be

437
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: the voice of Amazon. But Al at this stage and

438
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 2: God bless him, and I hope I'm the same way.

439
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: He suffers no fools and he does not care to

440
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: tow any company line. So with that said, I want

441
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: to show my favorite moment from the broadcast where they

442
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: came back from break and as they'd been doing all night.

443
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: And Mark, we've talked about this when we covered the

444
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowl fifty. How long is that bus ride from

445
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 2: the downtown San Francisco hotel we were at to get

446
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: up to the Big Bell Bottom.

447
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what I mean.

448
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: I feel like I like I we celebrated a number

449
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 3: of birthday is.

450
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: On the right, so I think we changed time zones. Anyway,

451
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 2: it's long. It's like an hour thereby San Jose and

452
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: Al is sick of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge. He's

453
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: sick of showing the seals you know on the on

454
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 2: the Watchman call it the pier. Let's listen to Al

455
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: keep it real, because he doesn't care if Amazon is

456
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: happy about this or not.

457
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean, San Francisco, it's beautiful. We got somebody's seen it.

458
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: Now. We'd like to bring aeriels from nearby here.

459
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: But what are we supposed to do the salt evaporator

460
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: flash Shantos Airport?

461
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: Now, where was the stick here from that?

462
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: Well?

463
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 5: I know you, yeah right?

464
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: How far was candlestick from from here?

465
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: Forty miles San Francisco?

466
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah right? The producers in his ear like, Al, come on, man,

467
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: oh my god, what did he say? What did he

468
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: say was up there? What are we supposed to get

469
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: aerial shots of? What did he say?

470
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: Like the salt flats or something like that?

471
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little a little world weary.

472
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 2: I love Uncle Al. Yes, yeah. And also he doesn't

473
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: have the he doesn't have the red the red hair anymore.

474
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: I like, he's just he's going all the way in

475
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 2: and this is who I am, this is where I'm at,

476
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: and God bless him. Anything else from the game. We

477
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: have a couple of NFL news things to hit before

478
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 2: we say goodbye, But anything else from the game, mark No,

479
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: I think we.

480
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 3: Can I think we're I think we've said as much

481
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: as it's needed to be said about that contest that

482
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: I quickly forget.

483
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: It evaporates from the mental mind.

484
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: And the Giants host Seattle next week, and then their

485
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: schedule is really brutal after that. So they need to

486
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 2: find a way to get past Seattle and get back

487
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: to two and two. And if they get to two

488
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: and two, they're in good position. The Niners have a

489
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: layup next week. Well, everybody thinks they have a layup

490
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals. So so far it's been more like

491
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: backing down in the paint and then you know, muscling

492
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: it up and getting it to go down eventually, but

493
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 2: it's not a layup. But they get the cards next

494
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: week and then mark Cowboys Niners on Sunday Night Football.

495
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: Everybody stay healthy. Well that we were already past that point.

496
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 4: I'm really surprised they put that in prime time. I

497
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 4: don't know what they.

498
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: Were because the Cowboys aren't going to be healthy when

499
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: that game comes. They won't have everyone because star cornerback

500
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 2: Trayvon Diggs suffered a torn acl in his left knee

501
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: during Thursday's practice. He suffered the injury during a one

502
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: on one period in practice, briefly spotted inside the team facility,

503
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: according to ESPN's Todd Archer, on crutches before undergoing an MRI,

504
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: which quickly revealed the tear just a huge loss for

505
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, mark they through two weeks. They they put

506
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: it on both New York teams, the Giants and Jets

507
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 2: had no answers for that defense. And Micah Parsons gets

508
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: obviously much of the pub as the new lt But

509
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: but Diggs, there's a reason he got a massive contract extension.

510
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: He is kind of the heartbeat of that secondary and

511
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: the playmaker that secondary, and moving on without him will

512
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 2: not be easy.

513
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 4: It's terrible loss. Like I feel like if you're the Cowboys, you're.

514
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: In this arms race with teams like the Niners and

515
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: the Eagles, where it's like you can't be the next

516
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: team losing these star players, and it's like, but I don't,

517
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: I don't.

518
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: This happens left and right.

519
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: I think the one thing about him is like I

520
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 3: think we understand he's not one of the greatest coverage

521
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: guys of all time.

522
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: He's hot and cold on his rankings for that.

523
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: But ball hawk wise and what he does to infuse

524
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: the defense and generate turnovers is wild.

525
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: And they also lost Tyler but dazz their center.

526
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 3: I believe I'm saying this last night, like he he

527
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: had a hamsterring injury and it's.

528
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: Like he'll be okay, though that doesn't seem like a

529
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: serious issue.

530
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: I hope. So, I mean, like that's like you, like you,

531
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: just you.

532
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: It feels almost like you're taking a silent bullet to

533
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: the head when you're losing guys in practice. If you

534
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: lose them in a game, and we all understand why,

535
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: you know, he's in the keta battle, but like you're

536
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: losing them in practice, it's just like.

537
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: Oh, it's brutal, and you're happy that Diggs from a

538
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: person standpoint, he got that payday before this injury happened,

539
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: and that included forty two million and guaranteed money. Good

540
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: for him that he got paid before this terrible setback,

541
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: and he'll come back strong, I'm sure next year. But

542
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: he had gotten off to a great start. According to

543
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: next Gen stats, he had allowed just three catches for

544
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: thirty one yards on eight targets as the nearest defender

545
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: and coverage this year, quarterbacks had a pass rating less

546
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: than ten on throws coming his way. He also forced

547
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: the fumble, intercepted a pass, three pass breakups, six tackles.

548
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: These are all that's a playmaker at cornerback, and you

549
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: take him out of the mix, they are not going

550
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 2: to be the same back there. They have Deron Bland

551
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: who had a pick six, I believe in week one,

552
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: So you're gonna he's probably gonna maybe slide over and

553
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: be that guy, but you're gonna miss him. They're just

554
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: they're not as good now without digs. And that's the

555
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: brutal part of the sport, yep.

556
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: And like I think the thing you believe in and

557
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 3: them like even like no matter what, Like their offense

558
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: is spicy, but like it's their defense that's like truly

559
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 3: special and somehow carried over from last year to this

560
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: year is like a top three, top four defense, And

561
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: like you start taking these guys away and they can't

562
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: do the same thing. Like when you lose your secondary,

563
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: it's like your pass rush is affected. Everything's affected. So

564
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: the Cowboys like they stay healthy. It's like we talked

565
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: about it all day to day. It's like they could

566
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 3: be that team that we're talking about for two weeks

567
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: prior to the Super Bowl. You lose four or five

568
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 3: guys and it's like someone else creeps in there.

569
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: Tough one, tough one, all right. Circling back to the game.

570
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Mark, I know our front Keveon Thibodeau,

571
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: he did, he has another tackle a he got a sack.

572
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: It was a coverage sack early in the game. He

573
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: did the robot after he got the coverage sack. That

574
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: was it for Kvon in the game. So we're still

575
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: waiting for Kavon to make a big impact for the Giants,

576
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: the former first round pick. And I'm not saying I

577
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: or we are rooting against Cavon, but the man spoke

578
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: a pretty large game this summer and a little bit

579
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: quiet tonight.

580
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: I in general don't know why anyone.

581
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: I think if you're on the Giants and you're a

582
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: professional football player and you can get an idea of

583
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: how the game is shaping up, the idea, the concept

584
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: that you would spend a number of seconds or minutes

585
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: doing the robot feels atypical with like the actual situation,

586
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 3: Like let's get an idea where we are.

587
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 4: This isn't all about you.

588
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 3: We're not in a narcissistic landscape, like the team is struggling,

589
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: you've had a tougherly start of the year, like the

590
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: over celebratory robot thing.

591
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know. I don't need it. I don't

592
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 4: need it.

593
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: Would you say a narcissistic landscape.

594
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, well no, I mean look at look

595
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: at like I.

596
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: Think that's exactly where we are.

597
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like I.

598
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 3: Would aim to like repair our relationship with him, if

599
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: that's even needed. I don't think he even remembers that

600
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: he was with us. But it's like I'm not looking

601
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 3: to inflame it or exacerbate it. But I would just say, like, hey, work,

602
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: work with my sensibilities a little bit as an observer

603
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: of the game, like you're you're walking around doing robotic things,

604
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: like because the giants are down, like you know you're

605
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: gonna get flamed.

606
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 4: We know you're gonna give up thirty points, you got

607
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 4: to tackle? Is this all about you? That's the narcissism,

608
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 4: That's that's the landscape I'm discussing.

609
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 2: Finally, the game that we watched today, Mark is a

610
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 2: certain type of football game. It's it's the Swingers game.

611
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: It's it's remember in Swingers when Nicki played by John Farvara.

612
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: He he didn't have confidence. He's and he's a bear,

613
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: but he just didn't know how to use the clause

614
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: and he needed his buddies Sue and double Down Trent

615
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 2: to help show him the ways. I thought about that today.

616
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: Let's let's listen it.

617
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 5: But you are like a big beer with claws, with fangs, teeth, man,

618
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: fucking teeth on you. She's just like this little bunny

619
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,520

658
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,880

659
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: backpacks that were about like six inches by six inches.

660
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,440
