1

Speaker 1: sideline and it's gonna be caught. Was he in bounced? Yes?

Speaker 1: Happy New You're happy holidays? My friends? All right? John, Yeah,

17
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: we got a little trip to Chicago and the Bears,

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the Windy City, the Blues Brothers, so pizza. We polled

19
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: ap of your calls from seven talking about a lot

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: of sneakers and sneakers game, and then the second one

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: in ninety six. No for you younger fans, I wasn't around, man,

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: but you know, one of the games that I think

23
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: about when I think about this Giants Bears matchup is

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: a game in which the Giants actually lost, but it's

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: it's a game that I it really jumps out of me.

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: It was November twelve, two thousand six. Now remember two

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: thousand five, Eli Manning's first year's starting quarterback. Giants go

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, lose to the Carolina Panthers, get shut out.

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: Now the Giants are, they're on a roll. They've won

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: five games in a row, and they've got a Sunday

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: night football game against the Bears. The Bears started the

32
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: season seven and oh. They had lost the previous week

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins. They come in seven and one.

34
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: They got a really good football team, and this is

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: kind of like one of those benchmark games. The Giants

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: are gonna lose this game and then lose four in

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: a row and only win two games the rest of

38
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the season, And they had to win that game in

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Washington at the end of the year. To get into

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But this was like a heavyweight matchup as

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: the Giants and Bears were playing on Sunday night football.

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Giants Stadium place was rocking, had a good vibe to it,

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, sold out crowd, the whole thing.

44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: And the thing I remember, there's there's there's only really

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: two plays in this game that will forever linger with me.

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: And the first one is a play that happened late

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: in the first half and it was like, you know,

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: can the Giants figure out a way to beat the

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: seven and one Chicago Bears, who, by the way, went

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: on to the Super Bowl that year and lost to

51
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. And I'll never forget

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: this one play because it was like, man, the Giants, um,

53
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: are they ready to win yet? Are they? Are they

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: ready to figure out a way to be a winning

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: football team? And uh, it was late in the first

56
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: half and the Bears were just giving up on the

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: first half. They had third and twenty two at their

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: own twenty eight yard line, and uh, all right, they figured,

59
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: all right, let's just run out the clock. And I'll

60
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: never forget this play. For whatever reason, it sticks with me.

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: In a negative way. Two receivers right mohammed the slot man.

62
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: They were on a draw to Jones. Jones pictures way

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: across the forty Thomas Jones running it at. Thomas Jones

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: has the first down of the Giant forty five. Thomas

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Jones the draw play to Thomas Jones. Because the Giants

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: are winning the game at this point three, I mean,

67
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: they they've got control this football game. J Philly had

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: kicked a couple of field goals and instead of them

69
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: punting the football away on this third and twenty two,

70
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: and the Giants had used two time outs, they had

71
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: called their second time out before the play to stop

72
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: the clock. They wanted to give Eli Manning a chance

73
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: to get the ball and go. Thomas Jones goes for

74
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty six yards and a couple of plays later, Rex

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Grossman throws a touchdown pass to Mark Bradley, And you're

76
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: sitting there and you're like, holy cow, the Giants had

77
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: this game by the throat. They had the lead thirteen

78
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: to three. Maybe they get a field goal, get the

79
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: ball back, or maybe Eli Johnson for a touchdown, and uh,

80
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: the game like kind of unraveled at that point. The

81
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Bears got Moosi mohammed touchdown catch in the third quarter.

82
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Desmond clark Uh had a big catch for a touchdown

83
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: in the third quarter after Eli Manning was sacked and

84
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: he fumbled, Brandon Jacobs got the Giants back in it.

85
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: And then I'll never forget this play. In the fourth quarter,

86
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: the Giants send Jay Feeley out to try a fifty

87
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: two yard field goal. And you don't get a chance

88
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: to call many of these, but we saw it happen

89
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: at Giant Stadium. Here he gets set fifty two yards

90
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Snap is good, tick

91
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: on its way and over and and it is gonna

92
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: be short and fielded by the Bears in the end zone.

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: And it's run out, rought out by Devin Hester. Devin

94
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Hester up the right side lot, Kevin Hester and Giants territory,

95
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Hester down the right sideline. Ten five touchdowns, Chicago.

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: So instead of making it at the start of the

97
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, the Giants go down and they never recovered

98
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: from it. They lost the football game. Bears improved to

99
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: eight and one. This was the start of a Giant's

100
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: losing streak. But I'll never forget the Devon Hester and

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: eight yard field will return for a touchdown, and that

102
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Thomas Jones run on third and twenty two. Just those

103
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: are two plays that will just stick in my brain forever.

104
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: It's funny how that works, right, How certain players you

105
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: just never forget watching them in front of you, depending

106
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: on the importance of the game or just that individual playout.

107
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: You know, certain players to stick with you when you

108
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: see him live. And and and they really almost a

109
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: guide post to that season, really was I mean? And

110
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: again the Giants wound up getting into the postseason and um,

111
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: you know they lost to Philadelphia in a hard fought

112
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: playoff game. I could still see Brian Westbrook running right,

113
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: running right, running right. Uh, that's another story for another day.

114
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: So John, we move on. The following year, Giants get

115
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: a chance for a little retribution, if you will. Uh.

116
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: This time though, they're going on the road to play

117
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the Bears. December the second, two thousand and seven, the

118
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: Giants were coming off a god awful loss to the

119
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Eli mannings least favorite color has to be purple,

120
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: because some of the worst games that he ever played

121
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: were against the Vikings, and the Giants were she lacked

122
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: the week before by the Vikings at Giants Stadium. So

123
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: there's seven and four. They're going to Chicago to take

124
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: on the Bears, the Bears of the defending NFC champions. So, uh, listen,

125
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: you know, anytime you're gonna go to Chicago, you gotta

126
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: play at Soldier Field. You're gonna be dealing with that

127
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: Bears defense. Um, you know, the Bears were five and six,

128
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: they were coming off an overtime wins, so it's still

129
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: a team you've gotta be worried about. And uh, John,

130
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: this is a game in which I remember the depth

131
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: of the Giants roster played a big factor in this game.

132
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: A Soldier Field and uh, you know, the Giants go

133
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: on to win this football game and they got helped

134
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: from a lot of people. Now, the game didn't start

135
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: off particularly the way you would have liked it because

136
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: on the Giants first possession of the game, four plays

137
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: into the game, Eli Manning at the Chicago thirty one

138
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: yard line gets intercepted by Brian Urlacker. So the Giants

139
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: are driving and uh, they're kind of looking to get

140
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: something going and Manning makes a mistake right out of

141
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: the gate. Bears get the ball, they marched down field.

142
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman throws a touchdown pass. So the Giants, instead

143
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: of getting points on the board right away, find themselves

144
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: down seven nothing after the first quarter. Um they need

145
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: to make a play, get something going, and they do

146
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: earlier in the second order, Special Teams, which was also

147
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: a trademark of these Giants teams, comes up with a

148
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: play man. It takes a high, fast snap, jaws out

149
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: of the way, and it founds at the thirty yard

150
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: line of Chicago. When it comes to rest of the

151
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: thirty one, then get deflected by it looked like it

152
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: might have gotten partially deflected. It came off his toe.

153
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: It was a thirty yard punt there, came off his

154
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: toe and just started going in a weird spin. I

155
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know if Tyree might have got a hand on

156
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: it when he came in. Yeah, he got a part

157
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: of a piece of it. David Tyree, who was a

158
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: special team's ace pro bowler on Special Teams, who knew

159
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: what what happened with David Tyree later that year. But

160
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: so he tips the punt to the Giants, start the

161
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: possession at the Bears thirty two and immediately go to

162
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: the ground third and goal for the Giants at the two.

163
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: Ward is now in tumor goes wide right. I sat

164
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: with head stock Man and Calleague signal hand off Ward.

165
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: He runs left, trying to get the d starts to

166
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: go line touchdown Derek Ward. Yeah, Derek Ward got that drive,

167
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: starting with a thirty one yard run. He brought the

168
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: ball down to the one yard line and the Giants

169
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: were able to punch it in on a third and

170
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: goal award with the touchdown to tie the game up

171
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: at seven apiece. UM three and out for the Bears.

172
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: Giants get the ball back, but the Giants turned it

173
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: over first and ten at the twenty three right has

174
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: marks seven seven games. Manning short set past White batted.

175
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: It's called the loose ball, and it's fubble. They're recovered

176
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: by Chicago. Was it not tipped Chicago football for thirties? Yeah,

177
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: so twice in the first half, right, the first possession

178
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: of the game, and this one the Giants and Manning

179
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: turned it over um setting up the Bears. Um, you know,

180
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: at their own twenty nine yard line. Bears drive it

181
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: down the field and they're threatening the score book. What

182
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: were the Giants known? Four back then? Getting the quarterback

183
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: marbles six to go. Mohammed goes wide left, Olsen slot left,

184
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: very in near side, right, Peterson the tail back, Grossman

185
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: over center. Rossman drops back, looks left, pumps under pressed.

186
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: Then he's gonna get set back of the eighteen yard

187
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: line straight and human. You're split one there, So straighthand

188
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: gets the sack, forces a field goal. Bears take a

189
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: ten seven lead. Giants again do nothing with the ball.

190
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: Bears a long drive at the end of the half.

191
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Giants hold him to a field goal. So Chicago has

192
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: a thirteen seven lead going into halftime. So we get

193
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: out to the third quarter three and out. Giants get

194
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: the ball and um again. Another turnover UM to start

195
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Now the Giants audible eyes at the

196
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: line that comes setting an eye with Matthews at the fullback,

197
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: slid hand up left, Rewards skips through some traffic, fubble

198
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: the football, the Fairs recovering. He fumbled it at the

199
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: twenty four The Bears recover it. Yeah, out of walle

200
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: agoon Lay recovered it and forced the fumble. But the

201
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: Giants hold the Bears through a field goal, so they're

202
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of keeping the game and check at sixteen seven UM.

203
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter, the Giants are driving again

204
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: and they got the ball third and goal at the

205
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: one yard line and Eli Manning tries to throw it

206
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: to Plexical Births gets in se and goal at the one.

207
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: They need about a yard and a half thirty seconds

208
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: to go. In the third Barris lined up left Tumor

209
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: against the rookie near side right Timor emotionally manning back

210
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: under pressure a boid you stack Rose left, Rose left

211
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: for Birs to recepted. Nathan Fession picked it off. It

212
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: was funny, Bob, this Giant's team in two thousand and seven,

213
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: and you know you mentioned the Bears how they went

214
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl the previous year. You know, these

215
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: are two teams that they weren't. Didn't play the most

216
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: aesthetically pleasing football and a lot of these games, but

217
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: they were tough defensively. They knew how to win games.

218
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: But this is one of those games that they weren't

219
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: packaging and sending the canton later in the day. No,

220
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about the the opportunities that the Giants,

221
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: I mean three times in scoring range. Remember Brandon Jacobs

222
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: was inactive, which is why Derek Ward was getting a

223
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: lot of running this game and Brad Show was a

224
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: rookie just coming back from injury, and Um, you know

225
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: the Giants are just you know, the their their own

226
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: worst enemy, but their defense is kind of keeping them

227
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: in the game. And midway through the fourth quarter, Um,

228
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the Giants get a touchdown pass to a Monti Tumor.

229
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: Now it was a touchdown that was ruled incomplete, but

230
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: then upon review, touchdown stands. So despite all these turnovers

231
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: in plus territory. And I remember this game because it was,

232
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, in Chicago, that natural grass field, and the

233
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: Giants just kind of kept hounding. That was one of

234
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: the things that those Coughlin teams. They didn't give up,

235
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: they didn't relent. So that made it a two point game.

236
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: Six team, four team Giant defense holds him to three

237
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: and out talking Kavika Mitchell got a sack on a

238
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: third and three play. Giants moved the ball down the field,

239
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: Tumor had a big catch Um and then the Giants,

240
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: believe it or not, take the lead deep in Chicago territory. Man,

241
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: it gets his team in the line. I sat with

242
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: drones hand off drugs. He's gonna run right, He's gonna

243
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: bounce it the outside and walk in for the touchdown,

244
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: and with one thirty three to go, the Giants lead

245
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: now twenty six. Team you know, Jones was one of

246
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: those veteran pickups that team had that really helped and

247
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: in spots. He could do a little everything. And he

248
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: was a high character guy, yeah, very much. He was

249
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: well liked by his teammates. Uh. He did all the

250
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: professional things that a coaching staff would want. But the

251
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Bears had an opportunity to move the ball. They had

252
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: thirty three to go in the game, and they're driving

253
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They converted a fourth and

254
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: fifteen to Moose and mohammed for twenty yards. Rex Grossman

255
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: did so. Now they've got a couple of cracks at

256
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. Because the Giants are up by five,

257
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: they have to score a touchdown. And here's how the

258
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: final play went. Bury in Hester Mohammed go left, Bradley

259
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: near side right. Giants have format of the end zone.

260
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Four seconds to go, sixteen, Rosmand back in the pocket,

261
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: rolls up, rows to the end zone and its stocked

262
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: away in complete knocked away by the Giants. Has James

263
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: Butler came over and knocked it away from bad hamstring

264
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: at all, James Butler R w mcquarters. You think about

265
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Saint Addison, right, yeah, you think about Jabril Wilson like

266
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: you think about you know, the plays. How many of

267
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: these games came down to, like last throws that were

268
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: knocked away. That was another one. But the Giants win

269
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: it six team. And by the way, Bob, you mentioned

270
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: James Butler very quickly. I still remember Paul Latino and

271
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: I were talking to Steve Spagnola after they won the

272
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in two thousand and seven, and he told

273
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: us that in that game against Tom Brady, James Butler

274
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: almost graded out perfectly after the game. Not the most

275
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: athletically gifted guy, but always in the right spot at

276
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: the right time, was a smart player, and he was

277
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: one of those guys that you know, it's a name

278
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: people don't remember, but without guys like that that you

279
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: don't give the big contract to, that's not a first

280
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: round pick. But he started, he'd never let the ball

281
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: get over his head, and he was a vital part

282
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: of the back end of that defense, no doubt about it. John.

283
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's it's not always about the

284
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: star players. It's also about you know, guys that do

285
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: their job do it at a at a very good level,

286
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: and are guys that play a specific role on a

287
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: specific team. And that's how you win championships. You know,

288
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: your your front line guys gotta be your studs and

289
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: Eli and straighthand those guys. But um, it also takes

290
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, um, a group of players and unsung heroes

291
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: so to speak, in order for your team to be

292
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: the team that you need them to be. All Right,

293
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: So let's fast forward to two thousand and ten. Game

294
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: was played at MetLife Stadium. Now, the Bears come into

295
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: this game three and oh, this is a Sunday night

296
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: football game. Giants are two and two. I think there

297
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: were two. And let's say the Giants were two one

298
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: and two. They won the opener against Caroline in two

299
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, then lost to the Colts and the

300
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, and so they kind of need to win

301
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: to kind of stabilize their season. And you know, Jake

302
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: Cutler is the starting quarterback Bears I think finished eleven

303
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: and five that season. In this game, I remember that

304
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: this game was all about the Giants defense on Sunday

305
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: night football. The Bears wind up going over thirteen on

306
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: their third down conversions. Cutler was sacked nine times, Collins

307
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: wasn't sacked, and Caleb Henny was sacked once. As the

308
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: Giants had ten sacks for a total of sixty three

309
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: yards and held the Bears to a hundred and fourteen

310
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: yards passing. Meanwhile, Bradshaw ran for a buck twenty nine

311
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: Jacobs ran for sixty two. Hey, the Giants went ten

312
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: and six in two thousand and ten, and you know

313
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: they could have made the playoffs that year. Obviously, the

314
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: Philly game late in the year was there undoing the

315
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson game. But you know this is a game

316
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: that you know, I'll remember forever, primetime game, and you

317
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: know this was a game in which the Giants were

318
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: able to control the game using their run game. You

319
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: remember the Giants defense, and right out of the gate

320
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: on the Bears first two possessions, the Giants defense let

321
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: the Bears know you can't block us. Bennett motion right

322
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: one back, set fortake Cutler over center back to throw.

323
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: He's under pressure, avoid the sack, and the newman eurok

324
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: gets him at the thirty four yard line, first sack

325
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: of the season. Prosy human europ one backset forte first

326
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: intent of the forty nine not split right, Hester in

327
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: a slot left talk throw out of play, Bake back

328
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: to throw, He's gonna get sacked by co Field back

329
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: of the thirty eight yard line with tough roxtually was

330
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: panty who got back there all right, So they split

331
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: the sack. That's how the two drives for the Bear's end.

332
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: So on the giant second possession of the game, they

333
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of get the run game going. Manning in a

334
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: shotgun on a second and nine draw play left for Bradshaw,

335
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 1: gets a block from Sneak and Smith to the thirty

336
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: five to the forty, up the left side line of

337
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: midfield and run out of a house in Bears territory.

338
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: Twenty yard run for Bradshaw. A couple of plays later,

339
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: the Giants had to convert a third down Manning in

340
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: a shotgun with Bradshaw that he was left man. It

341
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: takes the stack as time throws one left caught by

342
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: Nick turns at the twenty five left sideline twenty to

343
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: the fifteen and knocked out of bounds half the twelve

344
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: yard line, So the Giants had it at the twelve.

345
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: They had to settle for three, so three nothing. Giants

346
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Bears get the ball back and the pressure on Jake

347
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: Cutler pays dividends. Cutler back to throw four man rush

348
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: has Todd delivers it left, intercepted at the twenty by

349
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Tom al Thomas stepped right in front of all Sin,

350
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: so Terrell Thomas gets the interception for the Giants. The

351
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: Giants um don't score off that possession though, because Lawrence

352
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: Times misses a thirty eight yard field goal. So with

353
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: all this good stuff going on, it's only three nothing.

354
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Now we go to the second quarter and we're gonna

355
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: have a little medley for you of the Giants just

356
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: crushing Jay Cutler. Giants show blitz dot com. Cutler back

357
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: rolls right, hit by human Europe Poulos loose Truths picks

358
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: it out of midair, He's tackled by the Giants back

359
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: of the twenty eight yard line, drops straight back to

360
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: throw sets in the pocket and he's gonna get sacked

361
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: by Tuck. Paul is loose on the ground and recovered

362
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: by Forte back of the twenty three yard live fourth

363
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: sack of Cutler. Butler takes the snap pass rushes on again.

364
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: Cutler's gonna get sacked, stripped Paul Loose still batting around,

365
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: and finally recovered by the Giants at the twenty nine

366
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: yard line. We'll see you Manurer again. Third sacked for

367
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: h Manua. Dion Grant recovered it. Second turnover for Chicago.

368
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Giants do not flitz Cutler back at double team Manuro

369
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: cut their steps to his lap and he gets sacked

370
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: again back of the twelve Justin Tuck. He has two

371
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. Tonight, Bear started their own forty eight.

372
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: Cutler's gonna get sacked again back of the thirty nine

373
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: yard line Barry Cofield. The Giants will the four man

374
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: rush Cutler deep into the pocket. Here comes the flints

375
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: and the Giant sack him again for the tenth time

376
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: in this first half. Aaron Ross coming in from the

377
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: right corner. What halftime ceremony did you have that you

378
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: had to leave in that game? Do you remember? Because

379
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: that was pulled to Tino Obviously, wasn't Bob pop on

380
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: that last call. I'm trying to think two thousand seven. Uh,

381
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been. It wouldn't have been. No anniversary

382
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: thousand ten? Was it? Oh? You know what? It might

383
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: have been? The inaugural Ring of Honor or could have

384
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: been the anniversary of No No No. I think it

385
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: was the inaugural Ring of Honor. Yeah, because it was

386
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: two thousand ten. It was the first year of Matlife Stadium.

387
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: So we had the Ring of Honors ceremony, and the

388
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: Giants honored their defensive past by absolutely shredding the last

389
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: sacerds from Aaron Ross. And by the way, you guys

390
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: just to go inside baseball, because that's why we're here, right.

391
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: So whenever there's a ceremony at halftime and Bob has to,

392
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, go on the p A and announce it,

393
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: sometimes he's in the voiceover booth upstairs. He doesn't go

394
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: down to the field, in which case he, you know,

395
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: maybe misses the last thirty seconds and a half. But

396
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: when you have to go downstairs, Bob, two mid of warning,

397
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: you're out of the booth. You're in the elevator. Because

398
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: all that stuff at halftime is very very finely planned,

399
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: finally tuned by our very own Don Sprawling. Yes, so

400
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: they have the elevator waiting two minute warring. I remember

401
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: standing down on the field watching Jay Cutler just getting pounded,

402
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: and I knew I usually stand because where they have

403
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: the stage near the visiting team's bench at about the

404
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: twenty five yard line. And it it was like an absolute mess.

405
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: But you don't watch John. The Giants sack Cutler nine

406
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: times in the first half, but they only led three

407
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: to nothing. Is that you know? Julius Peppers had a

408
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: sack and a forced fumble. Johns weren't able to do

409
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: much offensively that They're still had a very good defense

410
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: this year, by the way, Yes, they still had a

411
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: good defense. Um. They kind of trade possessions to start

412
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Um, Believe it or not. The Bears

413
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: went two consecutive possessions without giving up a sack, which

414
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty heavy stuff for them. Although they didn't

415
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: get any first downs, Giants finally got something going. Uh

416
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Nis helped them wiggle out of a second and seventeen

417
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: from their own thirteen yard line with a twenty one

418
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: yard play. Uh the forgotten Travis Beckham number in your

419
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: hearts and minds Giants tight end. He had a twenty

420
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: five yard catching run later to have a monster catching

421
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: run against the Packers in the playoffs. He did um

422
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: and then after the Beckham twenty five yard or Bradshaw

423
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: had another twenty five yard run to set the ball

424
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: up in a first and goal situation. First and goal

425
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: just inside the four called the three I set with

426
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: Bradshaw handoff flight for Bradshaw gets a block from Hedgecock,

427
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: spins for the goal in and fight for the touchdown.

428
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: That's criblical football. Bear on ninety yard drive tapped off

429
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: by a mad Bradshaw's touchdown run and the Giants go

430
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: a little old school with some running and they have

431
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: a nine nothing leaked with the extra point to come,

432
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: and they get the extra point, and the Giants would

433
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: take a ten nothing lead into the fourth quarter. And

434
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 1: you know, with the way the Giants were pounding the

435
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: Bears quarterbacks, it was like you were just forcing them

436
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: into mistakes. And and that's how the fourth quarters started.

437
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Second and tanetha Giants thirty five offset I right forte.

438
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: The tail back Collins takes a deep drop rose one

439
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: over the middle of the past, has intercepted at the

440
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: eight yards give Dion Grant pass intended for Olson, and

441
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: Grant gets touched down there. Yeah, Todd Collins was in

442
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: the game. Um. The Giants though, turned it over. Manning

443
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: gets sacked fumbles it. Uh. So the Bears started the

444
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: Giant twenty nine yardle but the Giants hold him to three.

445
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: So despite this sack party that's going on, it's only

446
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: a one score game. That's the thing about this game

447
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: that I'll never forget. The Giant's starting their own thirty

448
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: yardland and they drive it down field. They have the

449
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: ball plus territory. You got a second and one, and

450
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: then Bradshaw fumbles, so the Bears have to start at

451
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: their own one yard line and uh, you know, the

452
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: Giants defense was having none of it. They hold him

453
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: to a three and out. Uh Darius Renard remember him, Yeah,

454
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: they're running back right, Yeah, yeah, I do, smaller guy

455
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: he had, he had a nine yard hunt return, Varius.

456
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: I know. It's fun going back to these games. So

457
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: the Giants start at the Bears thirty two and Eli

458
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: hits Nicks for thirty and then the Giants, keeping on

459
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: the ground at the two manning handoff, Jacobs runs right

460
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: to the coal line. Touchdown. Giants. Good job by Jacobs

461
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: doing the job they ask him to do what it

462
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: gets in. He's upset because he's not getting enough run
