22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: bring in Bob pop A, Carl Banks and guys as

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: you hit on all throughout the course of the broadcast. Bob,

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: I think if you were to say, well, what is

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the biggest storyline in this game, it's red zone inefficiency

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: versus red zone efficiency. And the Giants had three opportunities,

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: they only had three points to show for it. The

28
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Browns three opportunities they cashed in for touchdowns. Those lengthy

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: drives showed up in the box score for the Giants.

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: It was the complete opposite. Yeah, Lance, Uh, the Giants

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: had scored thirteen touchdowns in their last eighteen trips in

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the red zone, so they had kind of gotten that

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: figured out. And I think that was coupled a little

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: bit with you know, their ability to run the ball

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: over the last bunch of weeks. But Carl, they were

36
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: not able to execute in the red zone opportunities. Uh,

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: some mis throws by the quarterback, some poor execution, and

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Giants passing up three points going for

39
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: a ake field. I don't blame him for going for

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: a fake field that they thought they saw something And

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: in fact, when you looked at it the way it

42
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: was blocked. There was no pressure on Dixon. He had

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: some options and he chose the wrong one. Um. I

44
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: didn't blame him for that. Uh. Cleveland has the fourth

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: best red zone offense. But the Giants coming away with

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: no points and especially not scoring touchdowns proved to be

47
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: a killer because they never put pressure on the Cleveland

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: Browns like they could have in this game. No, they

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: did not. And what you wanted to do is to

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: really change the way Cleveland wanted to play this game,

51
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: and you really didn't. Uh. If you're if you're saying, well,

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna score and we're gonna put pressure on him

53
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: to score, you didn't. You changed the way they played

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a game. But you had a competent quarterback who could

55
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: pass the football. So taking away the run game or

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: minimizing it to the point to where Baker Mayfield would

57
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: have to pass the football did not work in your

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: favor because you did have a pass rush and he

59
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: had all day for long, late developing plays to um

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: to be executed, and that's what he did. I mean,

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: he had a long time when he dropped back to

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: pass on some of those play action passes and you know,

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: windows were wide open after a while. Yeah, I mean,

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know, the Giants will able to get

65
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: a pass rush. They got one sacked. That might have

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: been the only time he was pressured. Um. And you

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: know they were able to hit third downs, and one

68
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: of the keys to this game. The numbers got skewed

69
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: a little bit late Cleveland round of finishing two of

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: five on third down attempts of nine or more yards,

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: But for the bulk of the game, they had only

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: had one third down attempt of over nine yards which

73
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: they had failed to get and everything carl Um they had,

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: let's see five and three is eight. I mean they

75
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: had eight of them inside of six yards and they

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: hit seven of those eight. When you when you keep

77
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: a team in that manageable distance, it's pretty hard to

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: stop him and get off the field. No, it is.

79
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: And then let's just look at you give up a

80
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: seventy five yard drive for a touchdown, a yard ors

81
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: for touchdowns, and you count the amount of place the

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: defense has logged in this game. I'm sure it's over sixty.

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: So um, you know, it's a complementary type of game

84
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: you have to play when you're shorthanded in a lot

85
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: of areas. And you know, we see when this defense

86
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: and they're shorthanded themselves, when they've got to log a

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of plays and and drives end up in the

88
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: red zone, they do not play as fresh and as

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: well as they would uh in other situations. And as

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: they said, lance Um, I mentioned it to several people

91
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: leading up to this game when the news broke that

92
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Bradbury had come in close contact with someone with COVID

93
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: nineteen so he would not play. And I think what

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: was underreported last week was the fact that coming off

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: the Seattle win, Darnay Holmes, the rookie slot corner out

96
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: of U c. L A, miss last week's game. And

97
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: you couple that with the loss of Bradberry. To me,

98
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that was almost a bigger factor than Daniel Jones not

99
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: being able to play because Carl it takes away a

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: lot of what Patrick Graham was able to do as

101
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: far as his coverage is creating pressures, taking a chance,

102
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: sending people because Bradberry can lock somebody down, which kind

103
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: of frees you up. Instead, you got love and yahed

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: him playing out in the corners. Two guys that you

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: can't love, so to speak. No pun intended and then

106
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of other guys in there that you know,

107
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: I think it's those were big losses. And not not

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: that teams don't deal with injuries, but from this standpoint

109
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: of this team, though, not having those two guys, I

110
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: think was a big factor on how Graham was able

111
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: to call the game. Yes, and that underscores or I

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: should say highlight even more of a reason why they

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: should get points. They just they can't come way without points.

114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: And obviously this team doesn't plan on not having successful plays,

115
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: but you've got to be able to put points on

116
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the board in the game like this when you know

117
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: that both personnel, uh, from a personnel standpoint, that you

118
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: don't have a complete team on defense and actually some

119
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: key players out on your defense, so you don't want

120
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: you saw last week what happened when this um This

121
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: defense logs a lot of plays. You just they just

122
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: don't hold up well. Not many defenses would. Yeah, and

123
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: I think part of um I think part of what

124
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Judge was thinking in this game, we're

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: going for it on the fake field goal, which I

126
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: know will be you know, it's easy to second guess that. Again,

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with the Giants going for it.

128
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: They thought they had something that they could score touchdown

129
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: with and they felt like they needed touchdowns. I think

130
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: the other thing that happened in this game, car was

131
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Joe Judge went for it. Then he went word on

132
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: fourth in a long yard from just outside the five.

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: They didn't execute that properly. Sterling Shepard wasn't able to

134
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: get a piece of the safety, which um created an

135
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: opportunity uh for the safety to come in and get

136
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: a piece of golment which enabled him to be slowed down,

137
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: in which the rest of the defense. I think Joe

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Judge was banking on, Hey, if we take some of

139
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: these chances and go for deep, I trust that my

140
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: defense is gonna get a stop and we're gonna get

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: good field position. That never happened. They never stopped him.

142
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: They did not trying to take pressure off of the defense.

143
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Point well taken. And to Carl's point, sixty three plays

144
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: that the Cleveland Browns ran in this game, thirty seven

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: of those plays came from the three lengthy touchdown drives,

146
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: So that pretty much sums up what the Giants defense

147
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: was put up against in the twenty six loss to

148
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. We will unravel plenty more how did

149
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: this contest, as well as look ahead to the match

Speaker 1: podcast platforms. We'll be back right after this. You're listening

158
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra Point on the w f

159
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: a N Giants Radio Network, driven by the Hestoy Truck.

160
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Mayfield back to throw. He's under pressure, trying to escape

161
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: to his left and he's brought down at sacked by

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence. The ball came out, but they say Mayfield

163
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: was down at Mayfield a little slow to get up

164
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence having himself a will of his fourth sack

165
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: of the season. That was the play of the game.

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Pepsi, the official soft drink of

167
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. The Loan sack of the game

168
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: for the Giants. Brown's got a sack late in this contest.

169
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: Is Cleveland's offensive line one of the best performance wise

170
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: in past protector Throughout the course of the season, they

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: only surrendered seven sacks entering this game. That was tied

172
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: for the fifth fewest in the NFL. But remember the

173
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: Giants gave up eight sacks of the Arizona Cardinals. So

174
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: you step in the right direction only surrendering one, considering

175
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: they were facing Miles Garrett and Olivier Vernon. Right before

176
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: we stepped the side, Bob and Carl, you guys were

177
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: talking about Joe Judge maybe being aggressive to try to

178
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: put some points on the board to help out his defense.

179
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: Here's the trend, and here's the biggest issue right now

180
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: when you look at the last four games. Yes, they

181
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: won two of those four, they've lost the last two.

182
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: They have failed to score at least twenty points in

183
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: each of the last four games. They scored nineteen against

184
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they scored seventeen against the Seahawks, seven against

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and then six tonight. So you can make

186
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: the argument, Bob, even if you settle for field goals

187
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: in those early drives. There's still no guarantee that that

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: is going to be enough to get past the Browns

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: team that found the way to score three touchdowns and

190
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: get twenty points. Yeah, Lands, I mean, um, again, it's

191
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: a it's a great you know, it's an easy second guess.

192
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't I don't second guess the first one. The

193
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: second one. Maybe I would have taken the three points

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: UM and just gotten something positive out of it. Um,

195
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: but I think Joe Judge was trying to get the

196
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: ball in the end zone. And you know, listen, in

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: this game tonight, Golden Tate should have had a touchdown.

198
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: Ingram should have had a touchdown. UM, that's on the quarterback.

199
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, he underthrown. Um. Those guys are opened by

200
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: NFL standards. Mayfield would have made those throws. That's when

201
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: McCoy's a backup. You're hoping that Jones would have made

202
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: those throws. Carl their inability to score points and everyone

203
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: wants to zero went on the play calling. And anytime

204
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: you hear Giants fans talking about, Ah, Jason Garrett's gotta

205
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: go that, you know it's it's it's not the play calling,

206
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: it's execution. Of the place. There have been enough plays

207
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: this year where they have plays dialed up that looked

208
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: like gold and the ball gets dropped, or there's a

209
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: sack because someone misses a blitz pick up, or the

210
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: quarterback makes bad throw um, they gotta play better as

211
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: a team. Well, again, let's just go back to the

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: two plays you can highlight right away, and with the

213
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: Darris Slayton sideline passed, it was just thirty seven yards.

214
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: If he leads him out there, it's a walk in

215
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: touch with touchdown right or the Evan Ingram red zone.

216
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: That's basic player. I mean, he's just running a little

217
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: arrow route and just all you gotta do is put

218
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: it on him and he walks in. But the ball

219
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: was thrown late and behind him, and he was open

220
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: from the snap. So you get him to three steps

221
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: into his his route and just put it on him.

222
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: He just sprints right in. Then you're not kicking a

223
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: thirty seven year a field goal. You're going you're up

224
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: seven nothing. There was another play in the game where

225
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Slayton slipped in the back of the end zone. Two

226
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: was he was trying to cut back to perhaps Kive

227
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: McCoy another alley. Yeah, I mean, it's it's all lands,

228
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,359
Speaker 1: it's all of those things. You know, got slipping, dropping balls, uh,

229
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, poorly thrown ball, there's you know, it's yeah.

230
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean when you fans, when you you

231
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: you have these gripes with a coach because it it

232
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: fits a narrative right that you think he's a bad

233
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: play caller, then ask yourself what plays would you be calling?

234
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Because all all offensive coordinators are only as good as

235
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: their players execution. And I think we've just laid out

236
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: fourteen points worth of uh plays that we're not executed properly.

237
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,359
Speaker 1: And so if you are holding the Browns to twenty

238
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and you put fourteen up, um, you probably got a good,

239
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: pretty good chance to win this game. But you don't

240
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: because you don't execute. Now, I mean, you can, you

241
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: can question some calls, but like just let's just not

242
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: blankets say, well, you know, you need a new offensive

243
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: coordinator because he's not doing enough with you know, the

244
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: guys he as well, he's got some plays that are

245
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: working if they can execute him, and it's enough to

246
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: win football games. So I mean, if you're looking for

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chief, you've better have Kansas City chief

285
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: What do you go for us? Hey Lands, thanks for

286
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: taking my call. Appreciate it. Yes, thank you, um big

287
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: Giants fan and and just you know, was really excited

288
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: after the Seattle game, you know, excited to go into

289
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: December with some meaningful games, and just frustrating in my

290
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: eyes to see the coaching not to be up to

291
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: standards the last two weeks, with you know, the obvious

292
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: DJ being injured in last game, and you think that

293
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Colt mccour should just be out there because he's healthy

294
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: and could do a little bit more. And I know

295
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: all you know, the three of you were talking about.

296
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: You could see how Judge, you know, you can see

297
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: him going for those fourth downs, and I just feel like,

298
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: you gotta put points on the board, give yourself a

299
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: chance to go ahead three nothing and go ahead nine seven,

300
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: and late in the game you're down twenty to twelve

301
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: with the potential to put the defense on the field

302
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: with four and a half minutes to go and potentially

303
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: get the ball back to tie it up. So it's

304
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: I guess, just as a Giants fan going into the stretch,

305
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: we haven't had a lot of cheer for the last

306
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: eight years, and it would be nice to see us

307
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: put points on the board and give us a chance

308
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: to win. Well, I mean, this is what you're going

309
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: against the team that's been that's been scoring almost thirty

310
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: eight points a game over the last three weeks. Uh,

311
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: he felt that he needed touchdowns to win this game.

312
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I don't, I don't. I

313
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: don't mind the aggressiveness on the fake field goal. The

314
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: fake field goal, I have an issue with um, but

315
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I get your point. They need to get

316
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: some some um some touchdowns or at least get points

317
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: on the board. But again, we we saw a couple

318
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: of opportunities for them to execute from a players standpoint,

319
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: because the play was the right play called and they

320
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: didn't get it executed. Even down to that fake field goal.

321
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: They had the right play that the defense was completely flummixed,

322
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: and he threw it where the biggest cluster of defenders

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: were because he could have run that, he could have

324
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: given it to Evan Ingram. It was only three yards

325
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: to gain the first down, so he had options. I'm

326
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: sure they practiced all those options, and he probably took

327
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: the one that was open in practice and not the

328
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: one that he actually should have been looking for in

329
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: the game. And appreciate, I mean, you hit it on

330
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: the head. They don't have execution on offense, and you

331
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: love what they did on the defense in the off

332
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: season this year, and I hope that we see some

333
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: playmakers come in onto this team in this offseason, like

334
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 1: an Allen Robinson or somebody that can give us some

335
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: stretch in the field and some you know, some playmakers

336
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: on offense appreciate the phone call. You got it. This

337
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: was a Browns team, Bob. To your point, they had

338
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: scored at least forty points in the last two games,

339
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: So it's understandable that Joe Judge is saying to himself,

340
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: we're not gonna walk away with a win if we

341
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: only reach nineteen points. And Carl, as far as your

342
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: point is concerned about that fake field goal play, could

343
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: you argue, in addition to you know where he went

344
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: with the ball, you're throwing it to an offensive lineman who,

345
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: granted I know, has played is about every position on

346
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line, but it's not necessarily known for his

347
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: receiving prowess. He's just not he's not known for his

348
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: ability to catch an alley oop. I mean, if he's

349
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's probably the the unusual suspect, if

350
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: you will. So they were probably counting on them being

351
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: wine open and they could just lie it to him,

352
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: you know. But he ended up throwing a jump ball

353
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: to him and that's just not his skill set. So um,

354
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: that that is what it is. But you know, the

355
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: fans being frustrated, I get it. But they're frustrated in

356
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: December and not in October, which is a good thing. So, um,

357
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: there's still some some things to play for. They're still

358
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: have an opportunity as a tough road ahead, but they

359
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: they're still in it. Yeah. I mean, Judge rolled the

360
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: dice in this game for two reasons. He realized that

361
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: you're limited at the quarterback position, so let's take some

362
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: shots here, Let's run a fake field goal, let's go

363
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one at the five. We

364
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: gotta get touchdowns. And he was also banking on the

365
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: way his defense is played this year not to give

366
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: up yard drives. Well, so so both guesses turned out wrong. Yeah,

367
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: and but the thing is also, Um, when you're looking

368
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: at your personnel, Bob, and your your team's inability to

369
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: get any type of pass rush, you gotta say, Okay,

370
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: I gotta help these guys out. Last week, I didn't

371
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: help them out. They were on the field for eighty

372
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: four plays this week. Um, they can't stop anybody because

373
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: they don't have two of their key players. And if

374
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: you rush the pass or you're just gonna give up

375
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: more big plays. If you don't rush the passer and

376
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: you play zone, he's gonna pick your part. So you

377
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: gotta pick your poison. And they just didn't generate enough

378
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: pass rush, if any at all, today to impact how

379
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield played played the quarterback position. Yeah, that's why

380
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: Baker was efficient. Twenty seven thirty two the team overall

381
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: nine of thirteen on third down and as Carl mentioned,

382
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: they had one sack and they had one quarterback hit.

383
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: The Giants in this game. That's it as they fall

384
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: to the Browns twenty to six at MetLife Stadium. We

385
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: will step beside. When we come back, we'll hear from

386
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: head coach Joe Judge get his take on the giants

387
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: unfortunate performance here on Sunday Night Football. We'll be back

388
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: right after this. You're listening to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra

390

Speaker 1: driven by the Hess Toy Truck. This is Joe Judge.

391
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: You listen to Jazz football on the Fan w f

Speaker 1: A N and w f A n f M New York.

393
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Mercedes Benz Giants Extra Point Lance Medal,

394
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: Bob Papa car Banks with you as the Giants fall

395
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: of the Browns twenty to six at MetLife Stadium. The

396
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: Giants had won three straight against Cleveland in New Jersey.

397
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: This was the Browns first win in New Jersey since

398
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Night five. So now the Giants will look ahead to

399
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Week sixteen and they will turn their attention to another

400
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: team out of the a f C North that is

401
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: on a three game winning streak that has scored at

402
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: least thirty four points in each of its last three victories.

403
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: And maybe you don't have to worry about Bob. The

404
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: passing game is much when it comes to Baltimore, But

405
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you've got to worry about Lamar as a runner. J K. Dobbins,

406
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: their rookie back, as well as Gus Edwards. It is

407
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: a three headed monster that the Giants defense is gonna

408
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: have to be consumed with next Sunday. Yeah, and uh,

409
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: you know they've got a ton of explosive plays. Uh,

410
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: They've got twenty three runs this year of twenty or

411
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: more yards. The quarterback is a big factor and all that,

412
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: they will also throw it over the top. They've got

413
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: seventeen pass plays of over thirty yards. Uh yeah, I mean, listen,

414
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like going against Kyler Murray all over

415
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: again what the Giants dealt with last week, but in

416
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: even better Kyler Murray in the league MVP from last year. Yeah,

417
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: he's a dynamic player. Um, they've just got to prepare.

418
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: When you talk about the run game, you've got to

419
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: bake him in with that. But the key is you

420
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: cannot him to hit wide open players because his scrambling

421
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: normally creates explosive plays where there's no one in the

422
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: vicinity of a white receiver. The Giants are gonna probably

423
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: have to play five guys on the line of scrimmage

424
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: just to you know, eliminate some of the throwing lanes

425
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: and hopefully they get some of their players back where

426
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: they can play a man and man coverage on the

427
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: tight ends. Yeah. I mean, they need they need Bradbury back,

428
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: they need Homes back. We'll see if Daniel Jones can

429
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: come back. That's why I thought, like that listener earlier,

430
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, was questioning you know McCoy played last week.

431
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: Well we also saw McCoy's limitations because he had some

432
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: throws in this game that might have made this a

433
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: different game. But his inability to get the ball to

434
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: Ingram who was open or Slaton in the right spot

435
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: or even tight at the end when the Giants had

436
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: it settled for a field goal, you know, eliminates your

437
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: chance for a fighting chance, so to speak. And it

438
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: completely changes the dynamics of the game. Because carl Is

439
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: you alluded to earlier. Now Baker Mayfield and the run game,

440
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: the ratio is even when they play from ahead, that's

441
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland style of football. They don't want to have to

442
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: play from behind where Baker's got to throw thirty five

443
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: to forty times. So this game, in terms of flow,

444
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: played right into the hands of the Cleveland Browns. No,

445
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: it really did. And you know that's why Cleveland's run

446
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: game is so good, because, um, they can they can

447
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: pass on their own terms. But what they ended up

448
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: doing the Giants, you know, basically, I've made him a passer,

449
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: but he did pass on his own terms. He got

450
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: every single throw that he needed. So now the Giants

451
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: looked a regroup against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday, gentlemen,

452
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: always appreciate the time of the insight. We will speak

453
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: to you a week from today. All right, Happy holidays

463
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: They got talented football team. It was well coached. They

464
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: were able to take advantage of a lot of situations

465
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: opportunities that had You gotta give them credit. There's a

466
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: lot of things we did well in the game. We

467
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: didn't do enough well. Obviously. We gotta capitalize and finished drives.

468
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: We gotta make sure we do a better job of

469
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: getting off the field. Uh, and then take an advantage

470
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: of you know, field position when we create it right there,

471
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: And I said, it's obviously all three phases and all

472
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: coaches involved. Yeah, We've all got to do a better job.

473
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: That being said, open up to any questions you may have,

474
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Dan Duggan, the athletic, Hey, Joe, you were, you know,

475
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: more aggressive than usual and those fourth downs in the

476
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: red area. How much was that impacted by you know,

477
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Cleveland has a very explosive offense. You guys are a

478
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: little shorthanded. You felt like you needed to maximize those opportunities. Yeah,

479
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: field goals weren't gonna win this game. So look, I'm

480
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: not afraid to call things aggressively. I'm not afraid if

481
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: I think we have a good scheme and a kicking

482
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: game to call fake. I'm not afraid to run the

483
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: ball and fourth and one, and we'll play to our

484
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: defense at times. If we don't get that, we've got

485
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: to go out there and stand up defense. Our defense

486
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: done that consistent throughout the year. We're gonna play the

487
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: strengths of our team. But look, I'm not afraid to

488
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: call it aggressively. We went to this game with that mindset.

489
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: So we've got to do a better job making sure

490
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: we coach it the right way, execute it the right way,

491
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: and come out with the results we want. But that

492
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: being said, we're gonna call this se aggressively. We're gonna

493
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: play aggressively. And when you make calls like that, you

494
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: let your players understand that you have confidence in them

495
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: and that they can play the game aggressively. So we

496
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 1: have confident our players. I want them to go out

497
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: and play aggressive. I can't tell them all week that

498
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: they have to go into this game and the aggressive

499
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: mindset and then hold them back at some point where

500
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: we feel like the chance to make a play and

501
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: can usually explain what you saw and what happened on

502
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: the fake. I mean, look, they did a good job.

503
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: They obviously fell off and made the coverage. Mike does

504
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: a real good job, you know, coaching those guys. They were,

505
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: you know, situationally, there's a little confusion at first. They

506
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: settled on down. We thought we had a chance at it.

507
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: It was worth rowing the dice right there and playing

508
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: to our defense. They made a play we didn't. That's

509
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: all right. I thought the scheme was sound going in

510
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: and if we have something else, will always look to

511
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: use it in the right opportunity. Thanks dot Com and Joy.

512
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: I guess how would you say how the operations with

513
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: Freddie calling the players as opposed to Jason, And and

514
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: how do you feel like the offense performed overall? And

515
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: I know you only wind up scoring six points obviously. Yeah,

516
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make any kind of comparisons here to

517
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: one or the other. I thought the office is a

518
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: nice job working together, thine. Thought there was good communication

519
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, obviously everything was cooperative this week

520
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: with the offense and how they had to do it.

521
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: Thought they did a good job as a staff in

522
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: terms of communicating through different mediums. Obviously, Jason, you know,

523
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: throw a lot of zoom stuff. And then uh, Freddie

524
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: getting ready to call the game. And I thought, you know, Freddie,

525
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, called the game in the right way, kind

526
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: of move the target a little bit on a little

527
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: bit with some opportunities down the field to make some plays.

528
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: We call it aggressively, Um, but we gotta make sure

529
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: we just put ourselves in better position execute the finish

530
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: drives World Platt, Leonard, New York Gaily News, Joe, how

531
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: much did James Bradberry's absence impact what you guys had

532
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: to do on defense? And how difficult is it defending

533
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: a team that runs the ball well? Um, but also

534
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: can can kind of find those windows in the zone

535
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: when it has time. Yeah, I think they did a

536
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: really good job tonight. Of obviously, you know, using the

537
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: run game set past on, our defense did a nice

538
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: job for the most part of you know, limiting an

539
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: explosive run game. You know, these two backs or two

540
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: of the best in the league. Uh, look, they were

541
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: able to go ahead and find some open windows and

542
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: take advantage of them and keep drives moving. Uh, it's

543
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: all responsible. We had the players who were in the

544
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: game coached up and ready to go. Uh. We focus

545
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: on the players that are at the game. We never

546
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: make any excuses or explanations. Friend who's not at the game,

547
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: and we're focusing on the guys we had tonight. Pat

548
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: Jordan run on ESPN. Hey Joe, this is now four

549
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: straight games where you scored under twenty points. How would

550
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: you describe the state of your offense at this point. Yeah,

551
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: we've got to come back in here on Wednesday and

552
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: get focused on Baltimore. Find the best opportunity for our team.

553
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: We're gonna make plays and uh, look we gotta go

554
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: ahead and finish drives right there. And where's talking about

555
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: the decision of going with coult or Daniel, And uh,

556
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: what you think about where Daniel is physically for next week?

557
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully he's doing better. We have to look

558
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: at me again on the grass this week and practice.

559
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: But the decision for me was simple. You know, he

560
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: obviously had two injuries this week. He was worse off

561
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: than it was the week before. I say all the time,

562
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: I want to put guys out there in a position

563
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: to defend themselves. You know, this team does a very

564
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: good job in terms of rushing the past or good flow,

565
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: aggressive calls. I would to make sure I put this

566
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: kind in position to defend himself. I didn't think with

567
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: the state of where I saw him in practice week

568
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: that I was doing the best thing by Daniel long term,

569
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I understand it. So again, I've got to make decisions

570
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: from thirty thousand feet. I've got to look at what's

571
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: best for this team in a short term. I also

572
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: have to consider our players long term, all right, and

573
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I've got to consider the safety the guy going forward.

574
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Day Joe, this this is a Browns team that have

575
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: scored over forty points this last two games. You you

576
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: held them to twenty. I guess my question is, had

577
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: you known that they were only going to score twenty points.

578
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Would that have changed your earlier decisions to be that aggressive. No,

579
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: you don't go in with some kind of a crystal

580
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: ball and say they're gonna score twenty points. You know

581
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: we knew we got down there. You know we're gonna

582
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: have an aggressive mindset to go ahead and finish it.

583
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: And then defensively, you know we're gonna have confidence our

584
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: players to go out there and execute and hold them

585
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: the field position to make a play in the return

586
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: the game with punt return. That's why we have to

587
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: gear this game up. And I thinking has to be

588
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: if I take a chance here that we've got to

589
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: play to our defense and give ourselves a chance to

590
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: establish field position and the special teams and then put

591
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: our offense back in the field position. And that really

592
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: happened the first dry they stopped the fake, our defense

593
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: able to stand up on a fourth down right there,

594
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: we had field position, We're able to get on down

595
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: there get a field goal. So look, that's the way

596
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: you've got to go ahead and play it sometimes all right,

597
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: but we've got to go ahead and make the decision

598
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: to be aggressive. Obviously, team scored a lot of points

599
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: throughout the year. It's an explosive offense to a very

600
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: good job of moving it sustaining. They've really been on

601
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: a hot streak lately. We knew coming in what kind

602
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: of team they were, and we had to call the

603
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: game in a certain way. And then, um, what did you? Um?

604
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Why why did you put the run the fake instead

605
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: of keeping the offense on the field for that fourth

606
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: down play? Yeah, I mean, look, just real simple. I

607
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: thought it was a well designed fake. We we've executed

608
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: and practice that, you know, consistently throughout the year. I

609
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: thought the timing was right, and you look to go

610
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: ahead and just roll the dice sometimes to take a chance.

611
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: You hit that thing. Everyone you know, you're the guru.

612
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: You don't hit that thing. Everyone was the second guess

613
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: of decision. And I understand that completely. But you know,

614
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: when the coach has come up with a good scheme

615
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: and we think it's got a chance to be successful,

616
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,400

625
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: but the reality is the only thing we can do

626
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: anything about is this week right here. So we've got

627
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,880

00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: performance as a team next Sunday. We gotta go down

630
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: there and play a Ravens team who's well coached. They

631
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent, their physical team, and obviously

632
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of multiples they can create on offense

633
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: with the skill players they have along with the physical

634
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: offensive line. So again, we gotta clean up mistakes from

635
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: tonight before we move on forward. But this has to

636
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: be a game that we gotta go ahead and make

637
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: sure that we improve on consistently as a team throughout

638
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the week and put it together next Sunday. Matt Lombardo

639
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: fans out of Hey, Joe, are you getting enough of

640
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: your pass for us right now? And and how difficult

641
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: is it to win a game? When the opposing quarterback

642
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: completes eighty four percent of his passes and textra Lawrence

643
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: is the only guy who can get a sack. Yeah,

644
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, if the other team is that kind

645
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: of success, they're gonna be able to go ahead, move

646
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: the ball and yet and this team did a good

647
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: job tonight with the time of possession. Um. You know, look,

648
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: we we gotta go ahead and play to the hand

649
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: of whatever it is. You can't call everything is and

650
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: all out, you know, blitz are fired. You've gotta play

651
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things based on what their offense is.

652
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: We just gotta consistently do a good job of, you know,

653
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 1: playing his own defense, matchup and man and win our

654
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: leverage when we do play man defense, tackling the space

655
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: and getting off the field and get a chance to

656
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: So the fact that you guys were down brad Berry

657
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: and Dornay impact how aggressive you guys were with the

658
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: front seven at all. No. Look, we're gonna always go

659
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: ahead and call it, you know, based on the people

660
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: we have there and how we can play it. But

661
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's based on who the opponent

662
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: is and how they play their offense as well. One

663
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: thing this team does a really good job. Is it's

664
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: obviously the run game which sets up to move the pocket,

665
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: place the boots, to spread out things of that nature.

666
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you get caught too much and just

667
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: being overly aggressive without reason and you're not sound on

668
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: the back end in terms of closing on space, you

669
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 1: can really take advantage of defenses like that who kind

670
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: of just go out, you willy nilly with blitz Is

671
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: and boot away, get Baker in space and make plays,

672
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: you know when it's a little clear in front of

673
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: him right there. But look, that's a talented team, all right.

674
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: They got a lot of really good players, like a

675
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: good scheme and a good coaches. They did a good

676
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,880

745
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: right now, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. On

746
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: the w f A n Giants radio network, the Jets

747
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: get their first win of the year, beating the Rams,

748
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,400

749
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: the game on w f A n and w f

750
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: A n f M, New York. So we now bring

751
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: in Jeff Feagles and you continue to recap the game.

752
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: How we do with Jeff, Well, we talked about this

753
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: at the half, and we had mentioned that time of

754
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: possession was not that far apart Jeff, but he had

755
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: three red zone opportunities and an opportunity to give the

756
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: defense some wiggle room, essentially because last four games, last

757
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: three entering tonight, they failed to score twenty points. And

758
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: we just heard from Joe Judge he said, hey, we

759
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: knew field goals weren't gonna win this game, and field goals, Jeff,

760
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: don't win you many games, especially when the opposition holds

761
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: the ball for over ten minutes more so than you

762
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: in time of possession. They had to find a way

763
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns and the only way to do that

764
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: tonight was to be ultra aggressive. Yeah, I think Joe

765
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: Joe Judge summed it up, you know, his his approach

766
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: was to be aggressive and then and really, when you

767
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: look at what this defense has been able to do

768
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: throughout the season and put it in their hands to

769
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: stop the other team where they did it on that

770
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: first the fake field goal, um, the defense ended up

771
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: stopping them on the fourth down play, So that was

772
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of a you know, a wash. But you know,

773
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: I think that you know, hit the nail on the head.

774
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you've gotta be aggressive and trying to win

775
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: some games, and especially when in the last couple of

776
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: games you haven't been scoring points the Browns coming off

777
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: to forty plus performances, so you've got an idea. I know,

778
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: one of the reporters asking, well, if you knew they

779
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: were only gonna play, you know, score twenty points and

780
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: you can't ever think that you know, but you know

781
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: that you're going into the game. Their game plan is

782
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to be aggressive. So um, I mean

783
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: he backs it up. At the bottom line here with

784
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: all the red zone is execution. You could talk about

785
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: all the play calling you want, and you know Bob

786
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 1: and Carl had mentioned it, but you know, you as

787
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: a player, when the when the play comes in, you

788
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: got executed. And they just didn't do that today, and

789
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: you know that's why they only scored, uh six points,

790
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: And so that's that's pretty much it. Well, but Jeff,

791
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing, the question that you were referring to

792
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: in the postgame pressure, which was if you had a

793
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,359
Speaker 1: crystal ball, Joe and you knew that Browns were gonna

794
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: score twenty points. Okay, So let's say he takes the

795
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: conservative approach, Jeff, right, and they settle for two field

796
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: those they don't go for it on either of those

797
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: four downs. Based on that math, I'm giving you six

798
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: more points. Okay, you're still down twenty to twelve. Jeff.

799
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: You know, you still have to find the way to

800
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: eventually get into the end zone. Even if you go

801
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: by that logic and you take the conservative approach, that's

802
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: only giving you twelve points and that's not winning you

803
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: the game. And by the way, he was being aggressive.

804
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: And if you execute some of the players, you got

805
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. Darius Slayton play that that was you know,

806
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: he was gonna he was gonna catch that ball. He

807
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: just slipped, he was cutting back, but McCoy through it

808
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 1: exactly where it needed to be. Um. Evan Ingram play. Um.

809
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: You know. So there's some other ones there that just

810
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you execute and you you do your job,

811
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: you score those touchdowns there. And then now we're talking

812
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: about a completely different game. Well, and the other thing

813
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: that you have to take at the consideration when we're

814
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: looking at the aggressive approach or take the field goals.

815
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: As he mentioned that his press conference, Jeff, he's saying

816
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: to himself, Hey, this defense has been pretty solid. This

817
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: defense has also found the way to get off the

818
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: field on third down. However, now you look at tonight's game,

819
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland was nine of thirteen on third down, and majority

820
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: of the downs were, of course, manageable downs eight yards

821
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: or less. But more often than not, you're probably hanging

822
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: your hat on the fact that, Jeff, we're probably going

823
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: to force a few extra punts. But that didn't happen tonight.

824
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: So that was more of a reason why you needed

825
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: to get an opportunity to punch it in early as

826
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: opposed to just settle for three points. Yeah, and you know,

827
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: in some of those third downs, even though they were

828
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: third and long, they converted longer than the first down

829
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: that they were needed. There were some big plays on

830
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: third down. And you know, really when you look at

831
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: what how much time that Baker Mayfield had, And we

832
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: talked about this in our scouting report, I told you

833
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: that the Cleveland Browns and Baker Mayfield were the number

834
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: one team in the National Football League for time in

835
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: the pocket over three seconds. And that came into effect

836
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: today because when you couldn't get pressure on the quarterback.

837
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is having an outstanding year and an outstanding night.

838
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: He just has plenty of time to throw and he'll

839
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: pick you apart. And so the Giants didn't do a

840
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: good enough job getting him frustrated in the pocket and

841
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: by pressure, they just couldn't get it. Well, this sells

842
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: home your point. Third and twenty two, he hits people's

843
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: jones for eighteen yards. Okay, even on a third and

844
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: twenty two they managed to get nearly all of the

845
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: yardage back third and seven, he hits Higgins for twenty

846
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: and then on a third and ten they get the

847
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: first down. He hits People's Jones again for nineteen yards.

848
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: So there's three third downs right there where it's seven

849
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: yards or more, and on two of the three they

850
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: managed to get the first down because to your point,

851
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: Mayfield had plenty of time to survey the field and execute,

852
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: and that was a big difference in this contest. We

853
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: will step aside. When we come back. We'll get more

854
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: into how the Giants regroup as they look ahead to

855
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens match up, another challenge in the a

856
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: f C. North. Will also hear from a few players

Speaker 1: three seven sixty six sixty six. Hang tight, we'll be

859
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,840

00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: the National Football League. The tam Bay Buccaneers overcame a

873
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: for first place at the a f C South. The

874
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 1: Dolphins formally eliminated the Patriots from playoff contention with twelve

875
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: victory Miami, running for two hundred fifty yards. The Bears

876

Speaker 1: kept their playoff hopes alive with a thirty three seven

877
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: victory over the Vikings the Seahawks. They punched their ticket

00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: place in the NFC West with a fifteen win over Washington.

880
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: The Ravens crushed the Jaguars fourteen. The Jets knocked off

881
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: the Rams in l A twenty three to twenty. The

882
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: Jets get their first win of the season. However, they

883
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: sacrifice control of the first overall pick. Eagles fell to

884
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: the Cardinals thirty three twenty six. Kyler Murray career high

885
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,880

Speaker 1: thirteen and one on the season, eight and oh on

889
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: the road? Is that is what is happening across the

890
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: NFL landscape. We welcome you back to Mercedes Ben's Giants

891
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: extra point. He is Jeff Feagles. I'm Lance Meadow. Giants

892
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: fell to the Browns six on Sunday Night Football. The

893
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Player of the game is brought to you by the

894
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: members and contractors of Local eighty five Operating Engineers elect

895
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: A twenty five building our future, and the player of

896
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: the game is going to be Dexter Lawrence. Why because

897
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: he did a little bit of everything. When it came

898
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: to the statuet six tackles too solo. He had the

899
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: lone sack for the Giants to acho for loss, a

900
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: quarterback hit and also a past defense. So Dexter Lawrence,

901
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: our elect building our future player of the game. Next,

902
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: it was that past game. It was very active. I'm

903
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: glad that you approved because I know sometimes it's been

904
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: a little contentious between you don't necessarily seen an eyed eye.

905
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: So it makes me feel very good that I could

906
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: sleep well to Jeff approves the player of the game.

907
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: There you go, that's absolutely I know it's about time.

908
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: It only took me, you know, fifteen games into the

909
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: season or so fifteen weeks. But anyway back to the point,

910
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: So as far as the outlook down the stretch here

911
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: is Jeff. I know a lot of people are gonna say, well,

912
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: this was a major setback for the Giants because Washington lost,

913
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: there was an opportunity for them to reclaim first place.

914
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: There's no arguing around that. But here's the other part

915
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: of the equation. And you and I talked about this

916
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: each week. The mindset can be somebody else is going

917
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: to do the work for you. Giants have to win.

918
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 1: They have to go out and beat the Ravens, they

919
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: have to go out and beat the Cowboys. The mindset

920
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: can't be they'll lose, but Washington will fall apart and

921
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will unripe and the Giants will then back

922
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: their way into the postseason. Yeah, and and and you

923
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: know that nobody says that in the building. That's that's

924
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: just a there's no mindset like that. Um. You know, yeah,

925
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: you're upset about the loss. I mean, you've got two

926
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: games in a row now, you haven't played your best. Um,

927
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: and and we're not you know, I'm not gonna make

928
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: excuses for this team because you know, even Carl and

929
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: Bob had said it. And we understand that injuries happened

930
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: for everybody, especially in the league with COVID this year. Um,

931
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams that have been out their players,

932
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: their star players. But certainly, and you can tell that

933
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: the loss of Bradbury and darn A Holmes was was

934
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: very crucial because you know, Patrick Graham could not call

935
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: some of the defenses he wanted to call because the

936
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: scheme just wasn't there. And and something that they really

937
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: built momentum over the season with. And of course Holmes

938
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: was a guy that came in here as a rookie

939
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: and learned the position, has been able to really do

940
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: a nice job. And then all of a sudden, Patrick

941
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: Graham says, Okay, we can start to change up some

942
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: of our defenses. We can put Logan Ryan some areas.

943
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 1: But you know tonight you had you had, you had

944
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: some guys in there that just haven't played a lot.

945
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: And so when then when you can't get pressure on

946
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and you've got a zone defense, a very

947
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: soft zone defense that the Browns exploited, and you know

948
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: they were able to make some of those third downs

949
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: like you talked about. But you know, you're you're, you're,

950
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: you cannot look forward to other teams losing. Um you

951
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta concentrate on your game, understand and go

952
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: back and correct what you gotta do. The Giants went

953
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: up to Seattle and to play the game that they

954
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: nobody thought they could win. Um So, and you shows

955
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: you today that the Jets get their first win against

956
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna be in the playoffs. So anything

957
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: can happen. And you know a lot of times some

958
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: of these teams just look down on their opponent, like

959
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: the Giants. And maybe the Giants can go intore into

960
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore and win this game and turn this thing around.

961
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: Because this two weeks is left. And we talked about

962
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: this lands months ago, not months ago, maybe a month ago,

963
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: that how important these last couple of games are, and

964
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: especially the last one of the season when the NFC

965
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: East is beating up on each other that final Sunday

966
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: of the of the NFL season. And we'll see what

967
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: happens when it goes into those too that weekend, and

968
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: it could very well because you got the Giants playing

969
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and then Washington is gonna play Philadelphia. I wanted,

970
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and to you know, yeah, it's and the

971
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: other thing too, has as sorry as the NFC East is,

972
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: it's probably the most competitive run for a division championship

973
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: than the than anybody. I mean, that's that's the one

974
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: division you're gonna want to watch because you have no

975
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: idea at this point who's going to get the job done,

976
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: because it's still wide open no matter as the weeks

977
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: passed by. In Move Forward, I wanted to mention because

978
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: you brought up James Bradbury. I don't even realized this.

979
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: He's played a hundred percent of the defensive snaps this season. Yeah,

980
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: that's one defensive snap eight hundred seventy four to be exact.

981
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: So when you talk about, oh, don't worry about it,

982
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Graham will have the versatility, mix and match personnel. Yes,

983
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: but you know what, that guy's been on the field

984
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: for every single one of his defensive calls this season.

985
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: So when you remove him, absolutely, Jeff, that changes the

986
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: dynamics that cannot be overlooked. It really does. And that's durability.

987
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: And unfortunately that you know, the the virus took him

988
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: off the field, not as it wasn't an injury, it

989
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: was just you know, something that everybody and every team

990
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: is dealing with. That's the other wrinkle that every team

991
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: has to digest. Over the course of this season, We've

992
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: seen a lot of quality players unfortunately be sidelined because

993
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: of the COVID reserve list. That's why depth is the

994
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: key and the Giants can attest to that first. And

995
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: the good thing about Bradbury is it this from what

996
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: the reports are that this is a this is a

997
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, this is he does not have COVID. He's

998
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: just he was just um, you know, in the high

999
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: risk at high risk. So yeah, so I mean most

1000
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: and at the time back is less and that's it's

1001
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: instance than him having COVID as opposed to him having

1002
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: to quarantine for multiple games. That will also have to

1003
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: wait and see whether or not Daniel Jones will get

1004
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: back on the field. That is something will continue to

1005
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: talk about as we move forward, So stick with us

1008
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,680
