1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants. Hutt's Giants do.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Get out on the Giants Bubble.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Give me some Job, part of the Giants Podcast Network's role.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Giants Huddle Podcast, brought to you by Citizens,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 3: the official bank of the New York Giants. My name

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 3: is Madeline Burke, alongside the Super Bowl champion Sean O'Hara

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: for a Week nine rapid reaction, the Washington Commanders came

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: to MetLife Stadium and came away with the win. The

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 3: Giants falling twenty seven to twenty two is the final score,

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: but sewn one thing that stood out. The offense struggled

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: a very different tone today, and it started when they

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 3: established the run early.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: They really had rhythm today, and I think the commitment

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 2: to the run game definitely paid dividends.

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: You could feel it.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: You could kind of see that they were getting confidence

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: and you know they were The emphasis coming into this

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: game was all right, we're going to continue to pound

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: the rock.

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: And they ran it three.

21
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Times in a row, multiple times, don't I think this

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: might be the first game all year where they've done

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: that and it paid off because they were moving the chain.

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: You could kind of see it was starting to wear

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: down Washington's defense a little bit, and that's the objective,

26
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: that's what you want. I'm sure it was frustrating for

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: Neighbors to not be getting any targets early on, but

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: I thought he did a good job blocking out on

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: the perimeter as well. So I thought the offense, look,

30
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: you put your best foot forward. Like what they do

31
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: best right now is run the football. Tyron Tracy is mean,

32
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: his feet are on fire right now. He's just running

33
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: through arm tackles, He's running through contact. And Devin Singletary

34
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: has done a great job as well, providing a nice

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: one to two punch. So that's really the strength of

36
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: this offense right now. They leaned on it. Unfortunately, on

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: the one turnover, they had a great momentum. The drive

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: was going great, and then on the screenplay there was

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: the fumble the turnover that really kind of thwarted any

40
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: momentum that they had. But they came right back on

41
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: the next possession, marshall the way down the field and

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: got a touchdown. So the offense definitely had some energy,

43
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: they had some spark. I think the defense fed off

44
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: of that, but the self inflicted wounds continue for this

45
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: team and that turnover were and then also a touchdown

46
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: later on taking off the board because of offensive pass interference,

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: which felt like a little hokey pokey of a call.

48
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll hear about it all week long, but

49
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: those two plays really ended up becoming blemishes that they

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: could not overcome.

51
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: Right in that turnover you're talking about, that was in

52
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: the first quarter. It was a scoreless game. The Giants

53
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 3: were driving down the field and had gone all the

54
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: way from I believe the seven yard line to the

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: twenty nine to their own twenty nine, or from their

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: own seven to the twenty nine without passing the ball once.

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: And the very first pass play initially it's called an

58
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: incomplete pass, but Washington challenges it and it's overturned as

59
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: a fumble. But it was fumbled. The ball kind of

60
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: trickled down the field that blew the whistle. Devin Singletary

61
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: stopped playing for it, Washington recovered it, and they ended

62
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 3: up overturning it, giving the ball to Washington a great

63
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: field position that set them up for their first touchdown

64
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: of the game and a seven to nothing lead. But

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: you mentioned, you know, Giants kind of turned it around,

66
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: got right back into it, ran the ball down the

67
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: field again and executed Daniel Jones his first passing touchdown

68
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: at MetLife Stadium this season, a two yard pass to

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: Chris Manhertz, one of two passing touchdowns on the day

70
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: for DJ, and he also added a rushing touchdown, a

71
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: much needed spark for Daniel Jones.

72
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, spark for Daniel Jones for the offense too. But

73
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: you almost kind of felt like with that touchdown pass,

74
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: the man hurts by the way, it was a great catch,

75
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: phenomenal catch.

76
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: He kind of went up and got.

77
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: It and it was acrobatic, and I thought that play

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: it was very symbolic. It was not just a touchdown,

79
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: and you could kind of feel for Daniel Jones like

80
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: all right, kind of you could stop talking about it,

81
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: like we could stop talking about the drought.

82
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: People were saying, it's been two years since he threw a.

83
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Touchdown pass at home, Like the guy played he missed

84
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: half the year last year, so it's not that's not

85
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: an accurate slander. But it was definitely a relief and

86
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: you kind of see and you could feel the energy like, Okay, hey, great,

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: you know what we got it? The offens is home

88
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: in today. Let's keep let's keep it going. And I

89
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: think it was a good throw, It was a good read,

90
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: it was a good play call, and it really was

91
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: effective because they were running the football so well and

92
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: because they were able to do that, it gave that

93
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: play action a little bit of teeth and it allowed

94
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: them to have that big play.

95
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: You're ready for a change. Pay day comes early with citizens,

96
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 3: so go to that retreat. Knew you moves to the country.

97
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Now you're raising goats.

98
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: And launching a lifestyle brand.

99
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: Are you ready for all that life brings?

100
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, Giants were down twenty four to ten

101
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 3: to start the fourth quarter. They had two fourth quarter

102
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: scores to really try to get back into this game.

103
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 3: Not able to fully do it, though. They went for

104
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: two on both of those and didn't convert either of

105
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: the two point conversions and so ended up falling twenty

106
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: seven to twenty two. But you know, as much as

107
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: we saw some productivity from the offense, the defense played

108
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: a strong game, but the struggles and tackling continued. And

109
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: for a team that leads the league in sacks, the

110
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: Giants didn't have a single sack on the day.

111
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, the pressure was different today, it was a

112
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: very controlled Sure, it didn't seem like the kind of

113
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: you know, chaotic pressure that we have had all year long,

114
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: and I think a lot of it. You have to

115
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: credit Jane Daniels as the reason why, because he's so

116
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: elusive and he's so tough to bring down. So I

117
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: thought they were a little gunshot with the blitzes. It

118
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: didn't seem like Shamee Bowen called as many blitzers as

119
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: they did previously in Week two. But I think defensively,

120
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: there were so many plays where they hey, you know what,

121
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: they made a big play and it was you know,

122
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: all right, it's good defense. And then man, second and

123
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: nineteen they give up a big first down, third and

124
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: long they give up another big first down, and there

125
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: was a couple of mistackles in space that I thought

126
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: really kind of cramped the day for the defense. And look,

127
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: I think they've played so well all season long. This

128
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: was probably their first like clunker really, and you know

129
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: when you say clunker, it's you know, they gave up,

130
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: you know, in twenty seven points. But you know, one

131
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: of those touchdowns was after the fumble, and then they

132
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: had a defensive pass interference by Cordell Flott and basically

133
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: the balls the one yard line. So that was kind

134
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: of a gift from the offense, if you will. I

135
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: thought the defense, you know, look, they they need to

136
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 2: find a better a better find a way to do

137
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: a better job in the red zone. Obviously, the touchdown

138
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: passes to McLaurin the slant, that's tough to defend. The

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: slant and go route, that was probably bad technique by

140
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: Taya Banks, knowing they had help inside. You don't have

141
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: to commit to that slant because you have help. So

142
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: those are things that are fixable. But going back to

143
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 2: the offense, I thought the offense showed some fight today,

144
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: like they found a way. Hey, we scored, they scored,

145
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: we scored. They kept this team in the game. Even

146
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: at the in the fourth quarter, Daniel Jones runs for

147
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: a touchdown, literally runs through two defenders. That was an

148
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: emphatic touchdown to go along with his passing touchdown. You

149
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: could kind of see he kind of spiked. He didn't

150
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: spike the ball, he kind of threw it and it

151
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: was kind of like a frustrated celebration, Like I'm just

152
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm still angry, I'm not satisfied. I'm glad I scored,

153
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: but it's not like I need. You could tell he

154
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: wants to win so bad. And then the touchdown of

155
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: Theo Johnson, I mean that was I don't think we've

156
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: had a touchdown all year long that has had a

157
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: guy that wide open, So that was really nice to see.

158
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: And it was Bobby Wagner, who was the Mike linebacker,

159
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: who is arguably one of the best linebackers in the

160
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: history of this game, that THEO was able to get behind.

161
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: So that was a good read, good throw by Daniel

162
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: Jones as well.

163
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and I think you know, coming into this game,

164
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: we were to tell you, hey, that Chance's going to

165
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: break their draught of no passing touchdowns at MetLife. I

166
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: think one of the names that people would have guessed

167
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: would have been Malik Neighbors getting involved. Neighbors was really

168
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: limited in the first half. A lot of it because

169
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: Dan Quinn's you know, adjustments on defense. Looking at the

170
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: way that Neighbors played against Washington in Week two, I

171
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: mean he had almost one hundred and fifty yards in

172
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: that game, was very effective this one. You know, they

173
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: played a lot of cover too, they changed the looks. Obviously,

174
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: the Giants focusing more on the run also affected things,

175
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: but you know, the way that Neighbors was covered was

176
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: a little bit different this time around.

177
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the.

178
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: Game plan obviously of running the football was evident, and

179
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: to Malik Neighbors credit, even though he wasn't getting the

180
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: ball in the first half, he was in there blocking.

181
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: You know, there was a couple of big run plays

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: where he was out on the perimeter the gadget played

183
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: to Darius Slayton. He was leading the way that big

184
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: run by Daniel Jones. I think it was the second quarter.

185
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: He was the one that was kind of springing him

186
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: around the perimeter. So he showed you that he's a

187
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: team player. But I'm sure he was frustrated halftime, knowing, hey, look,

188
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: I don't really feel like I'm a factor in this

189
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: game right now, and I torched these guys and we too.

190
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: And especially your college teammate and buddies on the other sideline, JD's.

191
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: Over there, you know, shining his rings, you know, and

192
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: pounding his chest. So I think Neighbors, you know, there

193
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: were definitely in the second half you could see, Hey,

194
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: they were keen on him, like you're gonna have to

195
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: beat us. With somebody else, which is why you saw

196
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: a THEO get involved. Slayton had had a couple of catches,

197
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: but I think, you know, Malik Neighbors, he still ended up.

198
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean it was a quiet day, but he still

199
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: had you know, almost one hundre yards receive, right, I

200
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: mean yeah, nine catches for fifty nine yards, So.

201
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: He still had an impact.

202
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: And while it didn't show up statistically, it was there

203
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: was an impact in the run game.

204
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: You love turf, You're good at it, so you start

205
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: a turf business, grows, your savings, grow, become the most

206
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: celebrated name in turf.

207
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Are you ready for all that life brings?

208
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely? And that's also an important element and important balance

209
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 3: in any player. But still a tough loss. Twenty seven

210
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: to twenty two is the final. The Giants fall to

211
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: the Commanders for the second time this season. This is

212
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: the fourth division loss. The Giants have not yet won

213
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: a game in the division. And they're, you know, on

214
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 3: an interesting week. It's not a short week because they

215
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: don't play until Sunday, but they play Sunday in Germany,

216
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: so they'll be leaving Thursday night. The team leaves getting

217
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: their Friday morning, getting right to practice and adjusting the

218
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: time before they play Carolina in Munich on Sunday nine

219
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: to thirty kickoff local time. But when you look at

220
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: that game, not only the experience of playing overseas, but

221
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: also playing a Panthers team that just got the win

222
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: today over New Orleans. You got Bryce Young back under

223
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: center at quarterback after being benched for Andy Dalton, Andy

224
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: Dalton getting hurt, and now Bryce Young getting another chance

225
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: out there. What are your anticipations for this game?

226
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Well, I kind of go.

227
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: Back to two years ago when the Giants played the

228
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: Greenman Packers in London, and the defense really showed up

229
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: in that game. Actually, they were down at halftime, things

230
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: looked bleak, and then they came out they were totally

231
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: different team in the second half. So I think, you know,

232
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: maybe it's because they woke up. You know, the time

233
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: change might have there might have been a little jetlag

234
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: involved in that. But look, I think this game is

235
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: set up, you know, really perfectly for the Giants. The

236
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers are struggling to establish an identity. They're a

237
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: younger team. I think when you kind of look at

238
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: the Bryce Young aspect, it's a young other young quarterback.

239
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: So this is two and seven teams. You know, both

240
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: need to win. But I will say this is a

241
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 2: tough trip. It's a tough trip physically because you mentioned

242
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: they leave Thursday night, so it's a red eye flight.

243
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people will say, well, it's

244
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: like flying out to the West Coast.

245
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: That's different because if you leave at.

246
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: One o'clock, you land at four o'clock. You're not losing

247
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: a night's sleep. So the challenge really for any team

248
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: that plays in London or Germany is when you take

249
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: that red eye flight on Thursday night, how do you

250
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: make up for that sleep that you just lost. So

251
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: I remember playing in the game in London in two

252
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: thousand and seven. That was the first time and the

253
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: only time in my career I actually took a nap

254
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: on game day. So I went down, I got breakfast

255
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: to go, and I went right back up to my

256
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: room and to take a nap because I definitely felt

257
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: sleep deprived in that situation. So I think the Giants'

258
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: success two years ago, they'll probably had that same kind

259
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: of schedule. But you know, I think Germany it's it's

260
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: fun because there's so much energy and excitement in a

261
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: game like this, because the fans don't get to see

262
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: this very often, so you kind of feel that, I'll

263
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: say this international fans, they do not stop cheer.

264
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: They make noise the entire game.

265
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: That's something that that kind of takes a little while

266
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: of use to But I think that they're looking forward

267
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: to this trip. It is a business trip, but I

268
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: think you also get to spend a lot of time

269
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: together as a team, which helps out a lot with

270
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: the bombing.

271
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good team building experience and also it's

272
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: a good perspective shift to see just you know, how

273
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: internationally recognized and appreciated what you're doing on the field

274
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 3: is and how many people are you know, just kind

275
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: of out they're rooting for you. We get in week out,

276
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: and like you said, it is tough. Even if you

277
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: can sleep on that flight, it's not good sleep on

278
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: an airplane, so getting tired, jet lagged, adjusting to it.

279
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: But the Giants will be heading into the by after

280
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: the week ten game in Germany against the Carolina Panthers,

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: so we'll be looking forward to that one. We'll be

282
