00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of Papa's Perspective. I'm Bob Popa.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: The Giants are going back to Texas for the second

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: week in a row and hoping to have a much

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: different result as they travel to Houston to take on

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: the Texans. Giants haven't been in Houston in a long time.

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: They played each other once every four years. The last

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: time they played was at MetLife Stadium in two thousand

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: and fourteen. A lot of things have changed for both

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: teams in that time. So what do the Giants have

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: to do to get back on the right track. Well,

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: patients is obviously something that a lot of fans don't

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: want to hear about members of the media, But when

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: you think about it in totality, there are only twenty

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: three players left from last year's roster. There is a

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: huge turnaround for the New York Giants as a football

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: teams and as an organization. There's a new head coach

17
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: and new general manager and things are still trying to

18
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: find their way now. Obviously, for the Giants and the

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Giants fans, they want things to come together a lot quicker,

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: and obviously the first two weeks have not gone according

21
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: to the plan. One thing that the Giants are gonna

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: have to do this week is being much more physical

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: as a football team, especially on the offensive side of

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: the ball. We know about Houston and they're ferocious front seven,

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: and now they can get after the pastor and the

26
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: best way to for the Giants in the gate that

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: is to stay in advantageous down in distance. That means

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: they have to win on first down and at times

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to just punch the Texans in the mouth.

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: From a football standpoint, play a little power football in

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: this game and try to wear down that front of

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. And you know that Sae Kwan Barkley

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: with his magical skills can break something and make something

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: out of nothing and kind of open things up. Because

35
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: with that said, they're gonna be opportunities for the Giants

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: to pass the ball down the field. Look, guys have

37
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: been open in the first two weeks, but it's a

38
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: matter of holding up the protection long enough for Eli

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Manning to let some of those plays develop and hit

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: guys down the field. And on the other side, keep

41
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: playing good run defense and eliminate big plays as the

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Giants will travel to Houston. That's my perspective, I'm Bob

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: popa
