Speaker 1: over the past uh a couple of weeks. Another practice yesterday.

00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: I did not have a chance that if you go

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: on giants dot com you'll you'll see my written report

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: of what happened at practice Metal to give you some

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: of my Notes and observations UM from yesterday's OT and

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the next o T will be on Monday. Before you

23
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: get to your calls at two five one three, folks,

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: open line today. Whatever you want to talk about, we'll discuss.

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: It'll be a lot of fun um a couple of things.

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: I know that, Jeff, I've been kind of trying to

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: track James Betcher's defensive line rotations for a lot of

28
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: these practices and it's hard. And that's exactly what I

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: wrote into my report. It's hard because he moves so

30
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: many guys in different spots. From what I could tell,

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: one thing, I think I have figured out the starting

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: base defense, first down defensive line is Snacks in the middle,

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: Dalvin Thomason on one end, b J. Hill with the other.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: And that seems to be the deal. And that is

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: a lot of meat. That's what you want. Stop that run.

36
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Didn't do very good at it last year. But you

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: know what, John, You're right, and I don't think that

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: a lot of people can really I mean, if that

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty good top three right there, I

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: think those are probably your guys. But you know that

41
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: backside of it, there will be shouldn't changing pieces and

42
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: there will be a nickel. They'll be all over the place.

43
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: So it is hard to kind of plug plug it

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: in right now. But it's tough to see. Kareem Martin

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: will be one of those guys. He's standing up though, Yep, yep,

46
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: um friend. Probably you know he'll be standing up, you know,

47
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: so well, that's the thing, you know. That's one other

48
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: note that I made. The first couple of weeks of

49
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: O t S. Kerry went and is handed hand in

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the dirt a lot more as a defensive end. Late

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: this week he started standing up a little bit more

52
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: and he was with the second team in really Romeo

53
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Okwara and Kerry Win have both been very active with

54
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: that second team and they put the offensive line through

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: the ring or a little bit with that group. So

56
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I think they've actually been pretty impressive with that second group.

57
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you from this standpoint, have you've been

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: out to practices and stuff? Give me a little bit

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: of update on the offensive line. Well, he can't see

60
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: much because it like where do you what's your tent?

61
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Like you say you're you know the from the three

62
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: four for Betcher You guys, you're three. Where do you

63
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: think you're five. Well, they're moving guys around right now. Um,

64
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: I've seen a bunch of different first team alignments. The

65
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: only consistent thing is that Nate sold on Eric Flowers,

66
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: your two tackles. They've stayed there, and you know, I'm

67
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: not gonna say it's flowers job to lose, but I

68
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: think they understand he's the most talented guy at the

69
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: position and all every chance to win the job unless

70
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: they bring somebody else in, which would be kind, you know,

71
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: but they're gonna that's gonna determine about the two guys

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: behind him. Right. So Chad Wheeler obviously is with the

73
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: second team with that group. But I think the interesting

74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: part with that first team offensive line group is inside,

75
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and we've seen both Brett Jones and John Halapio with

76
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: the first team offense at center. They've kind of rotated

77
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: back and first, back and forth. Part of me. I've

78
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: seen Patrick o mam Ay at right guard with Will

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: Hernandez at left guard. I've seen John Greco at right

80
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: guard with oh mom A at left guard. So those

81
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: are the kind of the guys I've seen rotate in

82
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: and out of that interior offensive line group. I've not

83
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: seen John Jerry much with the first team, believe it

84
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: or not, but I have seen Greco, I've seen Um Hernandez,

85
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: and I've seen O mom May who has been a

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: pretty consistent contributor, and both will Hernandez especially Oh Mommy

87
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: has really been playing both spots right and left guard.

88
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: I think Mommy may be the starter on the right guard,

89
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: and I think Hernandez will start in the left guard.

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: That that's my field, but I think that they want

91
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: him on. He'll be moving around a little. We can

92
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: play both those positions. Um interesting about center though, because

93
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: how appeals a little bit of a bigger guy. But

94
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: I think both those guys will be on the roster

95
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: because I think whichever one doesn't start, the other guy

96
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: will be your backup swing center guard. Along with the

97
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: other the other guard that's not playing, it's gonna be

98
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: your other backup because you're gonna have dress seven. Usually. Well,

99
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing, here's the trick. I think I know

100
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: who the eight offensive linemen that are going to be

101
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, barring any surprises. I mean,

102
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I know for sure, but I feel

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: pretty good that the Giants eight offensive lineman that are

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna be on this opening day fifty three barring any changes. Look,

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: things can change once we get into pads of training

106
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: camp who knows, and it's a new general manager, so

107
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: everything's up for grabs. Guys get heard. But right now,

108
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I would say the favorites in the clubhouse, let me

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: phrase it that way. Your tackles will be Flowers, Solder

110
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: and Wheeler. Your guards will be oh mam, a Hernandez,

111
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Jerry and Jones and Lapio. I think seven of those

112
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: guys feel good about and I think the eighth spot

113
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: will be a big competition between Greco and Jerry for

114
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: that backup guard spot, both veterans, that's my feeling. Probably

115
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: both making around the same amount of money. Again, that's

116
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: my fuel right now, and a lot can change because

117
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: like I said, we're no t there's no contacts, so

118
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: it's really hard to see who's really playing. All that

119
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: will be honest with you. And today's June one, folks.

120
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: So June one on the NFL calendar is a big

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: day when you think about well, not not the way

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: you used to though, because you can designate somebody at

123
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: June first cut, but cut them back in March if

124
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: you want so you don't get the guys getting cut

125
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: loose on maybe all that they did. You know, they

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: were just thinking about it and all of a sudden

127
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: it happened. You know what, You're right, You used to

128
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: be secret. June first comes and boom. You know, a

129
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of the guys used to be a little bit

130
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: afraid of June one. He was a new one. So

131
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: a practice yesterday for the first time, um for fans.

132
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you know this, but most practices

133
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: are done off of place sheets, so they have large

134
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: scripts or practice. They have basically every plane, every session

135
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: scripted out except for two minute drow when that's when

136
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: teams kinda brought a two minute drow and they you know,

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: they radio it in and they practiced that. But before

138
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: they did two minutes yesterday, they had a session that

139
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: was just called move the ball, and they didn't script

140
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: any place. They didn't tell the coaches with the damn

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: that distance was gonna be. It was waiting for Pat

142
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: Charmer to not only test himself as a play caller,

143
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: but also Mike Chula and James Betcher and the players

144
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: to call plays and execute plays that maybe they didn't

145
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: go through and walk through that morning and call them

146
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: on the go and on the move without the Yeah.

147
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: So I thought that was an interesting thing that I

148
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: hadn't seen yet before with the Giants UM in terms

149
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: of trying to test the players and coaches in a

150
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: different way as early as June well for or whatever.

151
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, if you're just listen, this is how things work.

152
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: You have meetings in the morning, you go over your practice,

153
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: you go over the plays that you're gonna run in practice.

154
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: You go over them that way, you can look really

155
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: sharp on the practice field and you walk through them

156
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: and you run them. So when you get to the

157
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: practice field, you got you know what's coming. But from

158
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: this situation, that's a great it's a great thing to

159
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: do because now it's just out of all right, guys,

160
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: just down a distance at second and one, what what's

161
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: the play call here that we can bring out of

162
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: our mind and know that we can run, you know

163
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: whatever the play is? Third and long, uh, second and

164
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: short things like that. On the other other side of

165
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: its defense too, you know, defense, I think it's a

166
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: little easier to run defenses like that than it is offenses,

167
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, defense can pretty much go on

168
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: the run they do it a lot. Anyways, They just

169
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: match you up and they go to their coverages and

170
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: things like that. Plays are a little bit more execution wise.

171
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: You gotta have the blocking, the running and the passing

172
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Absolutely. Um are you

173
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: aware of Christian Sacoli? He is the third or four

174
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: team defense tackle. He made a nice play batting a

175
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: ball down the line of scrimmage the other day of

176
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: practice and AL teammates started yelling, skull from the sideline

177
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: actually made the play from Minnesota. Um No, but Chris

178
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: John with a J in There is a very Norric name.

179
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: And if you look at Mr Sakoli's picture on giants

180
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: dot com, the man flat out looks like a Viking,

181
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: so hence the nicknames. Hence the nicknames, which which I

182
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: thought was frankly kind of a um. I thought I

183
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: thought that was very especially if he does look like

184
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: a Viking, that's awesome. That wavy, that crazy hair like

185
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: the Viking guy down at the Metro Dome. Remember that dude,

186
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: where's the suit? The whole thing, it's like crazy. I

187
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: think they had a big like, didn't the end up

188
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: firing that guy? Dan? He ended up like trying to

189
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: like go and make money on the side being the

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: viking on the motorcycle guy. Yeah, I think he's got

191
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: all right, Come on, people, you got a great job,

192
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you got the best seat in the house, and you're

193
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: gonna screw it up by jeez min. Anyway, all right,

194
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: I have two factor fiction questions for you, Okay, before

195
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: you get to the calls at two o one five.

196
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Dan Salmon comes up with

197
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: these themselves. So if if you don't like the questions,

198
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: canna blame Dan and his back is to me so

199
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: I can throw things. Yes, that is true, and you

200
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: have large heavy helmets a large glass of water to

201
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: al Right, here we go. Odell Beckham Jr. Will account

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: for at least half of Eli Manning's touchdowns this season.

203
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Fact or fiction. Um, well, let's just let me go

204
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: back and try to figure out how many ELI through

205
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: last year? How many was it? Do we know last

206
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: year he was done? I think twenty two last year, Dan,

207
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: is that true? ELI twenty three? Maybe have nineteen only

208
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: let's just call it even if it was twenty. But

209
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: that's what I have to think through this. No, but

210
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: usually I would I think assuming Eli's gon only have

211
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: twenties low end. I think Eli is probably gonna have

212
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: at least twenty four. Alright, twelve and a half, No,

213
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be action. And I think for the

214
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: fact that, um, we hope that he does get twelve

215
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and a half. I don't think he can ever get

216
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: twelve and a half, but you know what I mean. Um,

217
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: I think with Evan Ingram and the ends in the

218
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and I think Sequon Barkley is

219
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: a guy that you gotta kind of look at, um

220
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna get a lot of touchdowns in that red zone.

221
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I think r was a guy that's gonna

222
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: take some of those touches away and they'll try to

223
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: run in a little bit more this year with Jonathan

224
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Stewart as well as say Quon Barkley as well. All Right,

225
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: question number two factor fiction gen Jenkins will lead the

226
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: giants and interceptions this year? Fact or fiction? Well, I

227
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: don't know why you wouldn't want to go fact. I

228
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: mean I think that he's he has the ability to

229
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: do it. I mean, he had a little bit of

230
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: a down year last year. Um, and I think they

231
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: look at what he did the year before so there's

232
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: no reason why he can't. I think that he could

233
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: do it. We count argument you other than you think

234
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: that Landon Collins might be the guy. No way. James

235
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Betcher's defense has played a lot of man to man,

236
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: and when you play man to manage the team's best corner,

237
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: a lot of times teams don't even fill a ball

238
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: at and then there and it's time to get your

239
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: head around to make plays. I looked it up. Antoine

240
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: baffet Um led the Cardinals and interceptions last year at five.

241
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Peters only in one or two because

242
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: why teams don't throw his way? Busy's so darn good.

243
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: So that would be my argument against that particular alright,

244
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: So then let me let me ask you this then

245
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: not so much a factor fiction just to come out

246
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: of that one. Then who do you think that that

247
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: person would be? And then that is the logical next

248
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: question to ask, and this will pop up on factor

249
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's up yet, right factor fiction, then

250
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: it is up, all right? You can go to giants

251
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: dot com to see my answer there. In totality, who

252
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: do you think? Um? I went for an upset. I

253
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: picked Andrew Adams. I mean, obviously Andrew Adams has to

254
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: make the team because Antoine Buffet played that deep safety

255
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: role last year for the Cardinals, so he wasn't the

256
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: guy that was up. And then the line of scrimmage

257
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: where I think Landon Collins is gonna be. I don't

258
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: think Landon Collins is going to be your deep center

259
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: fielder interception guy this year. I think that's gonna be

260
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: either Darian Thompson or Andrew Adams. So you have Adams,

261
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: I roll the dice, But that tells me that you

262
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: have Adams replacing Thompson as a starter this year, right now?

263
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: I do yeah. I mean it's not a bad thing

264
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: to do. I mean the kids played really well. That's

265
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: my guys. I think he's a husky. I worry my

266
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: son Blake's. By the way, here's the problem with Darren

267
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: Thompson too. What was his big issue last year? Health

268
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: and missed tackles Jeff, Yeah, the year before to miss

269
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: a ton of tackles. I can't tell how this is

270
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: gonna tackle until I get to a preseason game. You're

271
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: tackle and you're not gonna tackle in preseason games either,

272
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: because they don't practice. They don't tackle in camp, so

273
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: they don't tackle in preseason. Oka, fun, I'm not gonna this.

274
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: Canna can tackle that until September. There you go. What

275
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: scares the defensive coding and more than a guy you

276
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: can't count on to make it Pack and and and Adams.

277
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: He can tackle, he can tackle. He's a good, good player.

278
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: He's a good player. I like it. Okay, I mean

279
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: that's a long shot. That's a long shot. Well, sometimes

280
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: you have to get a little brave. But I mean

281
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: it's not out of the question to have somebody lead

282
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: the team from a safety position. I mean why not.

283
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, especially the defense that bet your place, this

284
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: could happen. Calls. Absolutely, we got we got forty five

285
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: minutes of your calls at two, one, four, five on three.

286
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to Antonio and Harlem. He's gonna leave us off. Antonio,

287
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: what's going on? Hey? What's going on? John? And Jeff?

288
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? How are you? How are

289
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: you doing? Man? Doing doing good? I just wanted to

290
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: touch base. You know, I've been you know, kind of

291
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: living under the rock and staying away from comptans is

292
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: the off season, so you know, I haven't been paying

293
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: much attention. But I just wanted to say that, you know,

294
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Um, you know, first of all, I

295
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: want to ask you guys a question, what's the probability

296
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Because it's always possible, But what's the probability that the

297
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: offensive line that's assembled this year is going to be

298
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: worse than last year's offensive line? Oh god, it can't be.

299
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: What's the look he looked? Probabilities are are what they are.

300
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: There's always a chance injuries, things like that. It can

301
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: always happen, but I think a lot would have to

302
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: happen for it to be worse. Five maybe so so.

303
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: So My thing is, I think this could be possibly

304
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Eli Manning's last year because of that. You know, Eli

305
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: Manning has a really really good team around him. He

306
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: has elite running back, elite wide receivers, an elite tight

307
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: end um and you know he has let's say he

308
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: has an okay offensive line. If he doesn't produce, what's

309
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: going to be the excuse? Now, let's say nobody gets hurt,

310
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: what's going to be excused is going to be used?

311
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: And I think you know they won't be. They won't be,

312
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: And I really think this might be Eli's last year.

313
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Able to plain why are you assuming he's not going

314
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: to be able to perform with this group. Well, I

315
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: just felt like, you know, there's been there's been a

316
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: couple of years in the past where in the recent

317
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: years where you know, we say, hey, it's not Eli's fall,

318
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: it's offensive line, which is absolutely true, offensive Livoris got hurt,

319
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: or you know, most of the most of the main

320
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: excuse has been for the reason years has been he

321
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: hasn't had an offensive line. Sure, now I'm just to

322
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: the point where it's like, Okay, you have somewhat of

323
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: an offensive line. It's better than last year's offensive line.

324
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: You gotta put up or you gotta shut up. Antonio

325
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: and we and me and come and de Tino had

326
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: this conversation a few weeks ago. Fegals has said this

327
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: before too, And no one's tired with the ELI than

328
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Eagles. ELI has got everything he needs this year,

329
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: assuming nobody gets, you know, seriously injured have to have

330
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: a big year. And I don't think anyone would disagree

331
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: with that. And I'll tell you what, Antonio, I think

332
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: that from the mindset of the organization. In my mind,

333
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: this is he lies on a one year at a

334
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: time deal. Now anyways, I mean his his contacts up

335
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: in two years. I mean, this is a show me

336
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: what you can do year. We put some pieces around you,

337
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: and we hope you do well because you want to

338
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: know something. If if he does well, the team will

339
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: do well and they'll be there's no reason why they

340
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: won't want to have him come back. And then there's

341
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: fine that they don't have to deal with a quarterback

342
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: thing controversy. If you were like, oh, who's it going

343
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: to be next year? Fine, just let Eli roll into

344
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: this year number two after going to the Pro Bowl

345
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: and going to the playoffs or maybe the Super Antonio

346
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: one other thing, real quick, um um, before you finish,

347
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: it's not just Eli to Let's say Eli goes this year,

348
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: throws uh twenty four touchdowns, thirteen interceptions, the team wins

349
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: let's say seven games. I'm just throwing out random number zero. Okay,

350
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: when when they head into Eli's last year of his contract. Okay,

351
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: it's not just whether or not Eli is worth that money.

352
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: You also have to look at it and say, well,

353
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: is Davis web ready? You know they might think that

354
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: maybe they might want to move on from Eli Manning,

355
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: But if they don't believe that the quarterback, uh they

356
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: have a quarterback in house is good enough to step

357
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: in and start in the NFL, then that might make

358
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: them think twice about that. So I don't think it's

359
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: all about just Eli. I think it's about what's happening

360
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks developing behind him too. That will um

361
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: motivate the Giants one way or another in terms of

362
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: when it's time to turn the page. And of course

363
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: I think it is Eli's performance more than anything else,

364
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: because if Dave his web, if they think he's ready,

365
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: but Eli threw thirty touchdowns in the twelve picks and

366
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: the Giants won ten eleven games, he ain't going anywhere. Listen.

367
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I can tell you this if I look at Pat

368
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: Shermer and what that team did last year. I know

369
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: he wasn't the head coach, okay, but the fact is

370
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: that he was the offensive coordinator and they went out

371
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: and they built their their offensive line last year up there.

372
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: They had a good running game, Okay, they had some

373
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: good receivers, and they had case Keenum put up numbers

374
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: that you can't believe. Now, there's no reason why Eli

375
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: Manning can't do that with a new revamped offensive line

376
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: and all the weapons that you just mentioned. You have

377
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: a great running back, a good tight end, you have

378
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: quality receivers, and you have to have the highest paid

379
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: left tackle in the National Football League. So oh yeah,

380
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: I truly believe this is going to be one of

381
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: the you know, it's crazy because we were so mediocre

382
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: last year, but I'm the injury mediocre, you know, because

383
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: of injuries. But also I just think that you know,

384
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: mcadooke just didn't have a Gaston office. There was no

385
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: movement there, there was no motion, there was no weird formation.

386
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: It was just you know, let's go and let me

387
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: personnel of the time. And I think, you know, we're

388
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: gonna it's it's gonna change a lot. And thanks to

389
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Sherman Um. And then one last point that I want

390
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: to put out with you guys is, you know, right now,

391
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: the free safety, you guys were just talking about free safety,

392
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't even think are you know, I'm not confident

393
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: with any of the free safeties that we honestly have

394
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: um here. And I remember you know, calling a while

395
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: back before the draft saying that, you know, we need

396
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: to address the safety position because I know Landon I

397
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: had a feeling and I'm sure it's gonna happen now.

398
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: And Nicanor is gonna be inside the box, you know, heavily.

399
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be inside the box. And I

400
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I wish you know, I know that

401
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: this kid you know has a kneeling problem or whatnot,

402
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: you know. And the controversial but the safety that that

403
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: was released from San Francisco, Man, he would be amazing here,

404
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: like it would elevate our defense so much because right

405
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: now I don't think we had a decent free safety

406
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: out there. And thank you guys for taking my call.

407
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: Thank about why he he's referring to Eric Read. I've

408
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: talked to some people around the league that do personnel

409
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: stuff for a living. Eric Reads not quite as good

410
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: as people make him out to be a roster And

411
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: he's also always hurt. I think he's missed almost ten

412
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: games the last two years because of injury, So I

413
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: think that has a And by the way, kennyva Carl

414
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been signed yet either. It's been a very very

415
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: dry safety market this offseason simply hasn't been a position

416
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: that teams have wanted to spend money on. Yeah, because

417
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I think you look at last year that what these

418
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: guys got they're gonna have. They knew that they would

419
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: have to really pay him this year. Remember Eric Waddle,

420
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: remember that he broke the bank in the safety Yeah?

421
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, what? I went to San Diego where where

422
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: he still is with a nice beard. He's got a

423
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: good beard. That um if Eli completed sixty seven and

424
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: a half percent of his passes for thirty five yards,

425
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdowns and seven picks, would you be happy?

426
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: Is that enough for you? Yeah? It is. You don't

427
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: think he has to do more than that? Maybe a

428
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: little bit more in the yards. Aw about touchdowns? Should

429
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: you get more than that? Well, here's the thing. I'm

430
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: okay with. You like having twenty two touchdowns as long

431
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: as the rushing game has maybe ten or twelve, you

432
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: know so, But I think that thirty is always that's

433
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: a low number. Well those were kids, you know what?

434
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: You're right? We do? You have many games? Do you

435
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: play last? That's a really good question. I forgot about that.

436
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: So let's throw a couple of throw six hundred yards.

437
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: He's keenom last year started fifteen games, played in fourteen

438
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: because I guess he came in in the middle of

439
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: so he's he's probably five hundred yards short in passing,

440
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: so that puts him at four thousand. Okay, alright, So okay,

441
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: So if I extrapolate this out and I increase everything

442
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: by like ten percent, let's say he throws forty a lot.

443
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can go temper cent. Well,

444
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: I mean if you play, if you play fourteen out

445
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: of sixteen games, you're right, say, like extrapolate up eight percent,

446
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: seven or eight percent, because you might be able to

447
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: go temper cent on the yardage per cent on the

448
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns and that's that's I mean, touchdown should be Okay,

449
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: all right, you know what I mean. So so so

450
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: let's say you finished yards twenty four touchdowns, eight picks.

451
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: Would that make you happy? Eight? Um? Yeah. In fact, listen,

452
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: if I think any quarterback is under double digit interceptions

453
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: for the season, I'm in. And if you have a

454
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: three to one touchdown to pick question that I don't

455
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: care how many yards you throw for you're you're you're

456
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: being effective, we're not turning the ball over. Well that

457
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: that was case Kdom's number, then that they go. So

458
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: if we could get the line to have those kind

459
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: of numbers, I mean, they would be low Elne numbers.

460
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: Now here's the trick though, but the the interceptions wouldn't

461
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: be low Elne numbers. Those would be a low number

462
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: for Eli, but it would be exceptionally good for him.

463
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: Why were the Vikings so good last year? They one

464
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in football. Now, they didn't show

465
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: up in that one playoff game when they got torched

466
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: by the Eagles and Nick Foles, but for the most part,

467
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: they had a great defense the whole year. And we've

468
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: talked about this before. The question is, can like I

469
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: think the Vikings probably won a game, won a lot

470
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: of games last year, scoring you know, twenty one points,

471
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: which is all This Giants defense allowed the Giants to

472
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: win a lot of games seventeen or are they gonna

473
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: have to win games? That's another question that we're gonna

474
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: have to figure out the answer too. I want to

475
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: look at the first quarter of the season and see

476
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: who those teams are that they're playing, because typically in

477
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: my in my and my experience and watching and playing football, Jaguars, Cowboys, Texans.

478
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Who's the fourth game, Danny, remember the top of your head,

479
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: I can look it up. Well, Defenses, as we saw

480
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: in two thousand seven when spag was here new defense,

481
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: it was giving up a lot of yardage that the

482
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: defense really was horrible until like around Saints Week four.

483
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, So to answer your question, and that matter,

484
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: the defense better play good. I mean no, there's some good,

485
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: good football teams, and Jaguars start with a better defense

486
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: and an offense obviously, but yeah, you know Dallas with

487
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: running the ball and then Deshaun Watson's healthy with DeAndre Hopkins.

488
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say is I think

489
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna take longer for the defense to get better

490
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: than it will this offense. I just think that I

491
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: just think that's kind of the way that really ever

492
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: works in the defense. That kind of takes a little

493
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: more to play along together and kind of get into

494
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: some grooves were Offensively, you know, you've got the plays,

495
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: you're running them constantly all the time. But I don't know,

496
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: we'll see. That's a tough quarter man. If I look

497
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: at if you could split those that first four games there,

498
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: you're all right with that. The whole schedule is hard, yeah,

499
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, you'd like to take them in quarters.

500
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: If you go two and two in your first four.

501
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: I think that's good enough. And I think that would

502
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: be maybe winning maybe winning one of the division games

503
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: there and against Dallas. Having that for one division, well,

504
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna pick one game to win in that four,

505
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: that would be the one. And by the way, the

506
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: next four aren't exactly fun at Carolina goals at Falcons

507
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: home Rose Redskins. All right, so let's when you split

508
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: those again too. So if you can, if you can

509
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: be four and four heading into that bye week, I

510
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: think you're in pretty good shape. Yeah, yep, and even

511
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: maybe snivel of five and four, just to be or

512
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: excuse me to be um, if you can ever be

513
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: five and three, you'd be in great shape. That's very

514
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: optimistic for this team to be five and three with

515
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: that schedule. Yes, yeah, I mean there there is a

516
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: possibility they actually could be two and six. Hey, look,

517
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: you never know, Jeff, You know, guys, you know, maybe

518
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: maybe Drew Brees pulls a hamstring the week before that.

519
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: Knows what's gonna happen, You don't know, you don't know,

520
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: and maybe Sequon Barkley catches nine touchdowns in the first

521
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: four weeks. You know, maybe it turns out that the

522
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Cablos are terrible this year. Maybe it turns out that,

523
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, Blake Boardles s throes eighteen million interceptions, Who

524
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: the heck knows? You know, that's why the NFL is great.

525
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: I would be very interested to see because you know

526
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: that this is what happens after teams go to Super Bowls.

527
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: You know, the next year the probability of that that

528
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: team making the playoffs is very low. It happens. But

529
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just curious to see what happens down the

530
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: turn Park. It's much closer. People think, yes, there's no question.

531
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: That's amazing, right, it really is. How can a team

532
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl and not make the playoffs the

533
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: next year? But it does? What a bet mco do

534
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: you say? Over the time last year, after the eleven

535
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: or five year he said, it's a new season. What

536
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: happened last year didn't matter, and boy, unfortunately for him,

537
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: he turned out being absolutely right about that. We're just

538
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Scott in New Mexico. Scott, what's going on? Hi? Guys?

539
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Uh? I also had some

540
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: questions about Eli Manning, but before that, I wanted to

541
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: address a couple of questions that were on your survey

542
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: this morning. One of them was there were more roles

543
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: to be one on offense and defense, and I think John,

544
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: you and Lance both thought it was offense. But I'm

545
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: on Dan Solomon's so I think he was right to

546
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: the point because I think there are a lot of

547
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: moving variables in the defense. And you just a couple

548
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: of seconds ago said you weren't sure whether Dary and

549
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: Thompson could even tackle. So I said, I was just

550
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: curious as to how you arrived at the offense as

551
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: opposed to the defense, because again, in a new defense,

552
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: James Specks is going to be doing a lot of

553
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: different variables. And I thought Dan's points are really, um,

554
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, accurate. Okay, you can start start with their backfield. Okay,

555
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, by the way, I think I picked defense.

556
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I thought you picked and

557
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Dan picked defense because to me, the biggest here's here's

558
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: the way I look at it, and we've had this

559
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: conversation here and I'll have to go back. I think

560
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: there's an old factor fiction you're talking about. Um, the

561
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: biggest single individual question that I think could impact this

562
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: team poorly is right tackle. If the Giants ever really

563
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: pour right tackle, I think you could really screw things

564
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: up for them. So I think individually that's the one

565
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: position that makes me nervous. As an overall unit, I

566
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: think it's the defensive side of the ball that I

567
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,479
Speaker 1: worry a lot more about free safety, third and fourth cornerback, UM,

568
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: because who's your second nickel linebacker? Where are you getting

569
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: a consistent pass rush from? So um, I would have

570
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: to go back and look at the story, but I'm

571
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: with you. I think there are a lot more questions

572
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: here on defense than there are on offense. Right, And

573
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: the other question was the most significant acquisition question, and

574
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: both you and Lands started was Alex Smith, And I

575
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: thought Dan again was on point uh by saying that

576
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: you're all chasing a Philadelphia and they just picked up

577
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Helodi not and he went over Mike Wallace, also a

578
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver. And then I don't know if you were

579
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: just talking about players who are on the restaurant or draftees,

580
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: because he was also pointing out Dallas Convert is going

581
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: to join his tight end. So I thought his points

582
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: for accurate that that's the team you're really chasing, so

583
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: that's where your concentration should be in regards to what

584
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: the most important acquisitions for the team would be. I

585
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: didn't know if I was wrong in that or not,

586
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: but I don't think Helodi not is that good anymore. Um,

587
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's he's a fine rotational player.

588
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: But the Eagles run defense was good last year. If

589
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: you look at a one individual player that's going to

590
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: impact their team the most that they got this offseason,

591
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: it's no question Alex Smith, because he's a quarterback. That

592
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: to me is an easy answer. Right. Well, I looked

593
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: at I went over the What I wanted to talk

594
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: about now is actually Eli Man and I looked at

595
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: the Bleacher Report and I looked at how they ranked

596
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks. They ranked him from one to six,

597
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: and the Eli was twenty six. It might surprise you

598
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: who was the quarterback rated when it's the guy who

599
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, Nick folesh two years ago, I

600
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:35,239
Speaker 1: had a quarterback rate And I think, I mean, how

601
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: did you I got to find this list? Now? I mean, okay,

602
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: but but my question is this in regards to Eli Eli,

603
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: and say, for example, in was rated the worst quarterback

604
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: in the league. That's according to Bleacher Report. Uh And

605
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: as you go up the progression. The top quarterbacks are

606
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: always pretty much the same. Tom Brady uh uh, the

607
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: guy from Green Bay. I was forgetting for a second right.

608
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: But here's my question. Is it really the quarterback that

609
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: makes the quarterback or is it the coaching that makes

610
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback? Because when Nick Foles was with St. Louis, uh,

611
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: he had a terrible year and then they drafted Jared

612
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Goff and he goes to Philadelphia and all of a

613
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: sudden he becomes a star. So it was a different system.

614
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, nick Foles was not a star

615
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: last year for Philly. He played two good games. He

616
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: sucked for three games in the regular season. Eagle fans

617
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: were calling me giving on their season because he was

618
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: so terrible. The coaching staff made a couple of really

619
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: big time adjustments in the Nnessey championship game in the

620
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They went to a lot of RPO stuff

621
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: in the championship game and they went down the field

622
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: on r p os rather than throwing short stuff that

623
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. And that's the coaching you're talking about, right,

624
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: And that's my point. That's really what I'm getting. Let

625
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: me finish as the quarterback, that's are coaching all the

626
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: schemes as important as the quarterback is a great quarterback,

627
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: but I think in some of the schemes he was

628
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: put in, he didn't really use his abilities to the

629
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: best he could. And that's why I have a lot

630
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: of faith in him this year, because I have a

631
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: lot of faith and Pat Sherman what he did with

632
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: case Keenum in Minnesota. So I wanted to make sure

633
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking looking at this myopically, and the coaching

634
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: staff will make a difference in how Eli Manning performs.

635
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: That was really my basic questions. Not I hear you,

636
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: and but but I think here's the point. If Nick

637
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Foles kept doing that for an entire year, teams would

638
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: have figured it out and it would have been over.

639
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: It would have been dead again. It would have been

640
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: bad again, exactly. So, yes, a quarterback needs help from

641
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. But if your quarterback is not really good,

642
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if you have Tom Langie, Vince Lombardi,

643
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh, Kevin Gilbride and every other great offensive coordinator

644
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: and in the world on your coaching staff, it's not

645
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna matter. Now, do I think that maybe the scheme

646
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: the last few years didn't take full advantage of you

647
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: live strength. Sure, um will that new system, and I'd

648
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: love to get Jet take on this too. Well. I

649
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: think it will help him, sure, but it's still on

650
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: Eli Manning as the quarterback to execute what's there. And

651
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: he made the most out of he could with with

652
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: the stuff that he was doing the last few years.

653
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: I hope he can do more this year, but it's

654
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna be on him, and if he goes poorly, I'm

655
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: not gonna go out there and and blame the coaching staff, right. Uh. Well,

656
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: one last question, and it's more perception question than anything else.

657
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are calling it and

658
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: saying that if the Giants go nine in seven or

659
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: ten and six even, they've had a successful season. But

660
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: isn't a singular goal of every team, whether they have

661
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: the ability to do so or not, is to win

662
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And this is the responsibility of the

663
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff to instill that. And I think that's what

664
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: makes New England and Green Bay and Pittsburgh teams that

665
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: keep repeating and doing that. And I'd like to see

666
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: the Giant to adopt the same attitude. I don't know

667
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: if they do or not, but that's something they do. No, no, no, no,

668
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: come on. There's no way in God's name that the

669
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: coaches are getting up in front of their players and saying, hey, guys,

670
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: we were three and thirteen last year. Jeesus, if we

671
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: could just win seven or eight or nine games, we

672
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: have a successful season. Every single every single fiber of

673
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: everybody in this building there, they're sore. Their main purposes

674
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: to get to that super Bowl, and if not, it's

675
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: not a successful season. And you even said, before you

676
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: ask the question, a lot of people are saying, well,

677
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: that's a lot of other people that are not inside

678
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: this building. There's no way in hell that anybody ever

679
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: thinks about that way. But it happens. But so many

680
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: people will say, oh, if they were nine and seven,

681
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: they were better than three and six three last year.

682
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I know I get mad about that

683
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: because I know that, and I really do, because there's

684
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: no way, I mean, you don't play a professional sport

685
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: just to say that you got better. Okay, you want to.

686
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: Those four trophies in that case is right out the

687
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: door here where we're at. Significantly tell you it. They

688
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: played for one reason and one reason only. Thank you,

689
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: Scott your weekend, right, But I think when you're looking

690
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: at more of an overall perview us sitting here being analysts,

691
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: I think you say, you're coming off a three and

692
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: thirteen year. If you can get up to nine or

693
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: ten wins, you know, I think it's okay. And from

694
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: a larger perspective, who you're asking and who's saying, well,

695
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: of course coaches and players can't say that, no, of

696
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: course not. But like if you look back and you

697
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: go ask fans of the Jaguars, last year was last

698
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: year a successful season? For it was way better, But

699
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: they will tell you that they were one or two

700
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: plays away from being in the Super Bowl last year

701
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: and it would have been even better. So anyways, I

702
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: just it's tough. It's tough when you you you know

703
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: you can and you hit you make a good point, John,

704
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: is that yeah? For some people breaking down the Giant season,

705
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: you can say, yeah, if they can get the eight

706
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: or nine wins, that that's a significant number from three

707
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: last year and it's a successful season. And where are

708
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: they going to have to do next year to get

709
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: to the you know, to get better. So and by

710
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: the way, I don't believe that story either, that Um,

711
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: he's got offered overall pick for Nick Foles, and they said, no,

712
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe it. First of all,

713
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't think the Browns are dumb enough the auto

714
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: offer the pick in the draft for Nick Foles. Why

715
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: would you. No way, they got Tyronde tell was better

716
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: than Nick Foles and got for they got for three

717
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: right of him. Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you right now,

718
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: Johnny Manzel, excuse me, Johnny Manzel, um told you that

719
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: to pick Baker Mayfield is better than Nick Foles in

720
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: the long run from this point of course, so forget

721
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: about that. That's there's no way just because he won this.

722
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: He played two games, and before that he was horrible.

723
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: He was, in fact, he tells you that, he tells

724
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: you he was ready to quit football. All right, So

725
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: here are the guys that they have a heady line Manning.

726
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look really quick. I don't want to spend

727
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: the whole show on this. Okay. Well, so, so first

728
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: of all, now, remember here's the thing. Last year was

729
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: a bad yere okay here, but here are the guys

730
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: ahead of them, all right, and my guess is that

731
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: they're not. I'm not gonna read through the whole thing.

732
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: My guess is that they're not taking consideration to pieces

733
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: around him. It was just overall production, which I guess

734
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: I understand it a little bit. But here are the

735
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: guys that have head ely Okay, I'm gonna just go

736
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: him out there for you, right, Nick Foles, we mentioned him,

737
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: are there. There, there's the there, there's your breakdown. Andy

738
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: Dalton at Mariota twenty three, Tyrod Taylor twenty two. And

739
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: why is my computer going like two miles an hour?

740
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: Hear is just killing me. Josh McCown at one again,

741
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: just but again, just based off their season last year,

742
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: I understand why you would have mccount ahead of him. Um,

743
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: but again I think you have to look at a

744
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: larger picture than Derek car DeShawn Watson, Alex Smith. All right, now,

745
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: these are a little bit more believable. Blake Bortles at seventeen. Boy,

746
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't I have trouble with that one? Um, come on,

747
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: this thing's killing me here. Jeff Um, Dak Prescott, Fine,

748
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, Fine, uh Garoppolo four games, Kirk Cousins, Matt

749
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: Ryan now get into top ten guys, they've case Keena Mitten.

750
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: All right, well I've I give up. Okay, I give

751
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: up the case Keena Matan, I give up. That's me

752
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: throwing the towel in and and and the variables were

753
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: arm strength and it was there's there's just things that

754
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: they were in there that make it and it has

755
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: to go on. Last year, it must just be right

756
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: ahead of Matt Ryan as a quarterback. Okay, enough, I

757
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: give up. No, I don't care. Well, it's just come on,

758
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: Pat Ryan might be a top five quarterback in the league.

759
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: It just depends on how you're ranking him and what

760
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: are the what are what are the variables that they're

761
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: looking at and look at Matt Ryan. He got put

762
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: in a different offensive system last year with Shanahan left

763
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: and the um Sarkajian came in and it didn't look

764
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: as good. Right Anyway, back to the calls, Sergeant James

765
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: Kennedy is Dana Richmond, Sergeant. Thank you for your service

766

768
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: you all, John and Jeff Um, yeah, and um quick question, Um,

769
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know what with the draft. I was just

770
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: praying I didn't want to go our way back to that.

771
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: But I was so happy when Cleveland got the quarterback

772
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: and I was almost gonna send them a president with

773
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: giant stuff to them for thanking them. And and uh,

774
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm glad we got Barkley. And I'm hoping you know,

775
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a different season. I can see

776
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: with all the changes. Um, but I'm really really thinking

777
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a good yew even though the schedule

778
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: is pretty well. But appreciate all y'all do. And the

779
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: last question, Um, I'm trying to see if they still

780
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: might get this Brian or not. I'm not Yeah, Sergeant,

781
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: it's not happening. Did they don't want to add a

782
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: guy like this to this locker room. They're trying to

783
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: bring it a certain type of here into this locker

784
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: room to establish a culture. Um they already have. They're

785
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna have enough trouble getting the ball to Odell Beckham Jr. Barkley,

786
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: Ingram and Shepherd. You want to throw another guy in

787
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: that wants to football, That is a recipe for disaster.

788
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: You have enough weapons. You don't need anymore. You have

789
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: plenty of weapons. It's fine. Yeah, oh well that's fool.

790
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: But I appreciate all you're doing. I'm gonna try to

800
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: We'd like to see our big blue kickoff live our

801
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: listeners and put a face with a with a voice. Oh,

802

Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and then miss feeling real quick. Um,

803
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: if I was a kick I'd be the worst. I'll

804
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: be worse than Charlie Brown. I'd be pretty bad. You

805
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: have to have a good holder so he doesn't turn

806
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: to Charlie Brown on you and moving away. So all right, Jed,

810
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: You've got a lot more than the two of us.

811
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave and Cranford. He's up next, Hie, Dave, Dave,

812
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: how are you guys? What's up? Dave? How are you

813
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: guys showing? Hey, I just wanted to throw one thing

814
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: about Eli. I know you don't want to make the

815
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: whole show about that, but the guy, the guy that

816
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: I really like to listen to when he analyzed his

817
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks used to be on the STM. But I'm kind

818
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: of glad he's not his Trent Dilfer, and uh, he

819
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: really knows how to break the position down, does a

820
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of that and uh. He did an interview with

821
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: the recently where and and just listening carefully to the

822
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: words because he wasn't saying that he was going to

823
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: be a Pro Bowl quarterback. What he was saying was

824
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: he in the scheme and what the Giants have done.

825
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: He thinks that Eli would have a Pro Bowl caliber year.

826
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: Um put up that type of production, and what he

827
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: was talking about was the fact that the scheme will

828
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 1: fit him and saying if again back to your comments

829
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: about case keenum Um and looking at Elis skill, sets

830
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: and where he is experience, et cetera, comparing to Case Keenum.

831
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: No shot on Case Keenum. But I think that you know,

832
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: Sherman's looking at this saying, I've got a much, you know,

833
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: more capable quarterback that I can get something out of.

834
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: So that was his opinion on on Eli and I

835
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: just wanted to kind of you guys are hitting on

836
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of this, but but I think that it's

837
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: it's really difficult in the league. I think we just

838
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: get we get um, we get biased so much off

839
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: of the year before, and I think that bias comes

840
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: into how we look at things, and if you can

841
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: kind of step back and say, hey, let's just look

842
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: at this from a roster standpoint and then a coaching

843
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: and a scheme standpoint. You look at the offense and

844
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: you say, you're adding five new players into your offensive

845
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: scheme for that are obvious and Nate Soldier, o mom

846
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: A on the line, Will Hernandez as your draft pick,

847
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: and Barkley the fifth really be an O b J

848
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: because he was out for most of the year. So

849
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 1: you're adding those five. But the key part to remember

850
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: there is who are you adding them to? Who's left

851
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: that you're adding those five that are that are specifically

852
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: going to come in and do something for your team.

853
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: You're adding them on top of Eli Ingram, I'm using

854
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Ellison as a second tight end, a lot and Shepherd,

855
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 1: so you know, so you're you know again knowing that

856
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: you've got the center and you've got the right tackle,

857
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: which I'll get to in a second. And then on defense,

858
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: you're doing almost the same thing. You're bringing in about

859
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: four to five guys through the draft and through free agency,

860
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: and you're adding them to Jack Rabbit, Collins, Vernon Harrison,

861
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: and Tomlinson. Those are all really good, capable players. So

862
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: when you think about it, right now, the Giants have

863
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: about seven or eight guys off of last year's team

864
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: that haven't even made it on the ninety man rosters.

865
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: I wish them well, But if you can't make it,

866
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: as Jeff, as you know, if you can't make it

867
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: on to a nine a man roster, bad bad chance

868
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: that you're not going to be there when there's fifty

869
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: three left. Right. So the grade, the upgrade the talent

870
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: on the roster I think is significant. And then I

871
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: would just point to what happened last year with you know,

872
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: two teams. Um. But really, if you look at the

873
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: l A. Rams and you I think that's the closest

874
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: to say. You know, you bring in a new scheme

875
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: on offense and defense that becomes more quarterback friendly. There

876
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: was really not much change to their roster. It was

877
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: just scheme, and that scheme propelled them to, you know,

878
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: one of the better teams in the league, a playoff team.

879
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: So I think that's where forget last year for a second,

880
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: forget the bias of of a of a broken year.

881
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: Just look at this team from a roster now. I

882
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: think you've got injuries that always can come into play,

883
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: and they don't have depth in certain positions. But that

884
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: that's the combination of why I think this team can

885
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: can really do well this year. Well, I agree with you.

886
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: I think the biggest, the biggest component to all this

887
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: is the head coach and his experience with quarterbacks and

888
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: his experience with the offense. I think that the pieces

889
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: that they brought in that you can see the instant

890
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: success like some of the Rams had last year. And

891
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: even I mean even take a look at uh, the Eagles,

892
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles weren't you know, they don't really

893
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: look what they did the year before, okay, and now

894
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: they had a rookie quarterback and you know, and he

895
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: played very well in his first year and but then

896
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: he ends up getting hurt and stuff. But the fact

897
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: is that it can happen in the National Football League.

898
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: And and really, when you hit a great you made

899
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: a great point that if you can't make a ninety

900
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: man roster, you sure the heck ain't gonna make a

901
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. And if you look at a

902
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: lot of those guys that were here last year that

903
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 1: aren't on NFL rosters now, it just goes to show

904
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: you why they only wont or won three games last year. Okay,

905
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: But I feel like Eli has a shot because of

906
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: coach Sherman in his offense that that he can do well.

907
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: And I agree, I I I'm with you. I think

908
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: the roster is more suited to what Eli does well too.

909
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: And the system had to do that. You have to,

910
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, they talk about to make you know, making

911
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: the system quarterback friendly. Didn't make a system quarterback friendly.

912
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: You put good players around them, Okay, And they did

913
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: a much better job of that this year. They started

914
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: with the left tackle. That was the first thing, and

915
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna let him throw the ball down the field

916
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: where there's gonna be more play action things that Eli

917
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: has has always Um been very good at and but

918
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: Dave most importantly. And I know fans like to hear

919
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: this because it's it sounds kind of like, you know, um, generic,

920
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: you gotta stay healthy. I mean, if you really on

921
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: a pinpoint one thing last year that's made the Giants

922
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: go three and thirteen. Now I'm not telling you they wone,

923
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: went ten and six, but they might have win seven

924
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: and nine. They had too many injuries last year and

925
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: you gotta stay and they weren't muscle poles. Is This

926
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: wasn't an issue with the strength and conditioning staff. It

927
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 1: broke both what the heck are is supposed to do.

928
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,479
Speaker 1: I think you guys both know you can only stick

929
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: so many things in an off season. And I still

930
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 1: think that even in the positive view of the roster,

931
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: I think you've hit on, you know, right tackles guy.

932
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: You know he's got to step up and be able

933
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: to play that position. Although I think it's an easier

934
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: position to help Um, particularly when you only have to

935
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: help one tackle as opposed to last year where you

936
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: need to help both UM. I think the biggest hole,

937
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: of the biggest risk is finding that that um slot

938
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: corner and depth at corner. I think that's the place

939
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: that which is why they have so many bodies in

940
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: camp UM. I think that's the hardest spot on the

941
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: roster to kind of, you know, really really look at.

942
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: But listening to you guys, thanks for thanks for letting

943
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: me talk, you know what, to John and Dave. That

944
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: is not only the Giants, but every team in the

945
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: National Football League has trouble finding depth at cornerback because

946
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: you look at what the way the team's weren up nowadays.

947
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: You gotta have three good ones. You've gotta have three

948
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: like starters, and now where do you find the other

949
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: the depth. It's hard to find a fourth and a

950
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: fifth corner that actually could become starters if one of

951
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: your other guy went down. And there's not had many

952
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: good cornerbacks in the almost to the point we almost

953
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 1: have to draft the cornerback a year now and hope

954
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: that you know, every other year one of these guys

955
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: or every other year you're you're out there in free

956
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: agency getting another corner. And it's such and it is

957
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: a position that has attrition to you know, you're running

958
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: top speed. Guys will pull muscles, Guys will twist ank

959
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: goals and constantly get you, constantly get you, you know what.

960
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: And it's in the in the league today. They throw

961
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: so many passes. These guys are just you know, their

962
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 1: thoroughbreds out there, and they get hurt. They get hurt.

963
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: They the bottom line is they get hurt, and literally

964
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: the game is they tried to make it safer for

965
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: everybody with this this head helmet thing and everything. But cornerbacks, man,

966
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, they get They get concussions all the time

967
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: because these guys go in the way that they hit,

968
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: you know. So, yeah, I think he's right. I think

969
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: finding that some depth at that cornerback position is going

970
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: to be difficult. And that's why you have a hundred

971
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: and fifty of them in camp here right now, is

972
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: trying to find out who can how many of those

973
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: seven or eight guys are gonna keep all right? So

974
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: you want to laugh. So Ragnar the Viking was making

975
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: teen hundred dollars a game, Okay, okay, he demanded a

976
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: raise up to twenty thousand dollars a game, which was

977
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: a one thousand, three hundred and Are you sure that

978
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: he didn't just wanted He didn't say two thousand and

979
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: accidentally said twenty thousand, just reading, and they fired him.

980
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: Just I'm just because fifteen and two thousand wouldn't be

981
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: all that bad. Well, maybe what they did they were

982
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: screwing up the Viking currency to English conversion. Maybe you

983
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: wanted twenty thousand dollars in Viking currency thunder of some type,

984
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: you know, like chests with gold ended up some kind baby.

985
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: Evidently he's he's thinking he's a lot bigger than he is.

986
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: I required twenty gold coins. What are they not Blueman's uh,

987
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: Dublin's dublins? What are they called? The gold coins? I

988
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: forget bitcoins? No, i'd say what he would be thrown

989
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: to get paid in bitcoin game? Look at the bank

990
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: of calls we got up here. It's like the color

991
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: all Stars. It's unbelievable. It's got to lenin Columbia, Maryland.

992
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 1: He's up next? What's up playing? Then? Hey guys, how

993
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: are you doing? What's up? Buddy? I have at least

994
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: I haven't heard your voice in a while. You might

995
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: have called when the other guys. You're but great to

996
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: have you back, Thank you, thank you, Jeff. Um. I

997
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: don't think I've been this tired of the off season

998
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: this early in my whole life. I mean, I just

999
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: I just want to play. That's the first thing I

1000
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: want to say. I just I just want to play

1001
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: some games. Secondly, you know, let me. I'm on a

1002
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: weigh in on Eli very quick. I'm glad he's our quarterback.

1003
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: I know you are. I'm just I'm just I'm just

1004
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: glad he's our quarterback. I think if we've got to

1005
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: if we're gonna, if we got a chance to win, um,

1006
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: Eli is one of those reasons we got that chance.

1007
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: You know, if we have to worry about our third

1008
00:48:53,239 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 1: and fourth corners, we're really in trouble. Let's not true.

1009
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: Every It's not because it's a weakness, Jeff, you alluded

1010
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: to it. It's it's a weakness all over the league. No,

1011
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: but Len Len Len, I disagree. There are teams out

1012
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: there with three starting caliber cornerbacks on their roster that

1013
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: you can trust to start. The Vikings last year had four.

1014
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: So there are teams with a lot better depth at

1015
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: that cornerback spot than the Giants. Don't downplay that. That

1016
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: is not Okay, here's where I'm coming from with that, John.

1017
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: I think the offenses in the NFL today are far

1018
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: ahead of the defense. And I think we saw it.

1019
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: I think we saw it in the Super Bowl. Yeah,

1020
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: and the role, you're just gonna have to roll the

1021
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: points up. Um, I don't think you know we're in

1022
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: in era. We're trending towards offenses dominating, and I think

1023
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. We're I mean, we're just gonna

1024
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: have to I think teams are gonna have to squad.

1025
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: If you think you're going to the playoffs and deep

1026
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, you you're gonna have the average thirty

1027
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: plus points. But then you have to have some resistance.

1028
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you gonna hold teams the seventeen points,

1029
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: but you can't give up forty. You can't give up

1030
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight. You're not winning games that way either, especially

1031
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: especially when don't have a good pass rush. You can't

1032
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: have rough corners. Cowboys the pass of the Cowboys a

1033
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,439
Speaker 1: few years ago, they gave up thirty five points. Again,

1034
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: they didn't win. They could and they were scoring thirty,

1035
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: but they were giving up thirty five. Yeah, I mean

1036
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: if if if we're going to let me let me

1037
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: just comment on the pass rush things. I'm not as

1038
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: worried about the pass rush as some others seemed to be.

1039
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: If we're going to a three four defense, let's make

1040
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: teams get to third and seven. Let's and I think

1041
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: the three four defense is really about stopping the run.

1042
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: And I think that should be the concentration on defense.

1043
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's just shut down the run as much as possible,

1044
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: put them, put them into pass these situations where where

1045
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: the percentage of deletions is going to be lower. Well,

1046
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: and here's the problem with certain certain law yea. But

1047
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: then last year the team can stop the run either. Well, um,

1048
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think with this three four defense particularly,

1049
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: you know, we may catch some people. We may catch

1050
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: some teams off guard with this three four defense and

1051
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: and the hybrid nature of this three four defense. I

1052
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: know teams are watching every Arizona Cardinal game from at

1053
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: last year trying to figure out what Beacher's philosophy is.

1054
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: But you know, we got that big guy in the middle.

1055
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: I just I know you've heard me say that. I

1056
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: don't know if Jeff has heard me say this, but John,

1057
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: I know you have. If you're going to run a

1058
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: three or four defense, you you better have a snacks

1059
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: harrison at nose tackles. There do they do? And they

1060
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: also gotta beat They gotta b J Hill right at

1061
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: Dalvin Tomlinson. Yeah, I mean you gotta have you got,

1062
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: you got, you gotta have a study at nose tackle

1063
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: or the truth. To me, the three four defense and

1064
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: any of its hybrids is dead in the word. Remember,

1065
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't just wave a magic wrong wand run the

1066
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: three four and all of a sudden you're good at

1067
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: stopping the run. It's about the play. Why there are

1068
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: plenty of three four defenses, There are plenty of one

1069
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: more thing, don't have injuries to injuries and you were

1070
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: you were spot on with that. Let me say this.

1071
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: I like our first thirty guys. I really like our

1072
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: first thirty guys. If we can keep them reasonably healthy

1073
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: and equality of injuries, I think we're gonna be okay.

1074
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: The quality of injury, that's that's the big one. Yeah,

1075
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: there is such a thing quality of a Yeah. Yeah,

1076
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: but you know, our top thirty guys, I think we can.

1077
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: I think we can. I think we can win with

1078
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: our best thirty guys. I like it when I look

1079
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: at the list, when I write it down on a

1080
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: piece of paper, I like what I see. Well that's fine,

1081
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: but you got they gotta play. They gotta show up

1082
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: and play. I mean, you might like him on, but

1083
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: they have to play. Yeah. Yeah, Well I think this

1084
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 1: coaching staff, I think this think this coaching staff will

1085
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: get him. They'll they'll be ready on Sunday. Chaffy. Well,

1086
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: there there's a whole shift here in this. It's been remarkable.

1087
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's a lot of energy around here. The

1088
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: coaching staff is very mature, very uh. These guys have

1089
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: a lot of experience, and I think that everything is

1090
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: pointing in the right direction. And I gotta give a

1091
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of credit to Dave Gentleman starting over and really

1092
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: going through and with a fine tooth comb and and

1093
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: and going through and saying Okay, we're gonna do this,

1094
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 1: this and this, and sticking to his philosophy, which he

1095
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: has done. So I really think it's working. It's just shakes.

1096
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: Next in line to shakes, J what's going on? What's up?

1097
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: A long time? No? Spep you'll what did you do? Man?

1098
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: I got a cut with things right? So first off,

1099
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: just to eat people mind about some of these guys

1100
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: that we've signed in this whole season because it's like

1101
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of who guys. I don't know what

1102
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, A boy who guys like but um, But

1103
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: the thing about it is these guys have experience and um,

1104
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: they really drive on special teams. Who Yeah, Michael Thomas

1105
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: and the cornerback from Carolina and I name another cornerback.

1106
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: It's about three of them that they brought in for

1107
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: special teams purposes. So my my thing is these who

1108
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: guys don't be quick to just write them off because

1109
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: we all know that we was worse in the league

1110
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: and special teams that that hasn't changed around. So I'm

1111
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: glad he did what he did um as far as

1112
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: goverment and that concern. But my question for y'all is this, Now,

1113
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: if the if the old line gets camaraderie and they

1114
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: get their chemistry and they show out to be not

1115
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: just good, but oh eight giants good? All right, let's

1116
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: just have fun with and eight giants good? The next offseason,

1117
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: are we getting rid of Flowers? Well, you're gonna have

1118
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: to resign him? Well, I think it depends on how

1119
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: well he plays. I mean I mean, if you he

1120
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: better be playing great. Yeah, it's a good point. It's

1121
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: good point. Yeah. I mean, look, if they play that well,

1122
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 1: I think you do figure out a way to bring

1123
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: him back shore. Absolutely that if he wants to come back, Absolutely,

1124
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,800
Speaker 1: because a lot of people is writing him off and

1125
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, just give him a chance. Well, we

1126
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: don't know he's gonna be at right tackle, so let's

1127
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,439
Speaker 1: just see how he's gonna be. I think he's gonna

1128
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:53,720
Speaker 1: turn around. And I'm really I got for his office

1129
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: on line and then Giants team. And that's for taking

1130
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: my call. Y'all, shake with the quickie today. Listen to

1131
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: me tell you about the tackle position with him? Is

1132
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: this is a contract here for Eric Flowers. So any player,

1133
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, it's your contract here. You play,

1134
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: you play, you gotta play good. You want to move

1135
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: on because he's either going to go down as being

1136
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: you know, no one's gonna sign him and he's not

1137
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna get paid for anything, or you can make a

1138
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of money. I jumped the gun. Hellelujah, trigger picture.

1139
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: I am happy. Hello, Chuckles, how are you hey? John? Hey, Jeff? Hello, Hey,

1140
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: It's the Holy Trinity of callers here. We opened the gate,

1141
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: the floodgate. We opened it today. Hey, look, come on, man,

1142
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: you know the who, the group, the who. We won't

1143
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: get fooled again. And that's exfinitely what's going to happen

1144
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: if everybody thinks that Flowers all of a sudden is

1145
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: going to be a different player and improve He is not.

1146
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: He is who. He is in the right side of

1147
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: our line. But I have problems with because we don't

1148
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: have any depth. I don't think Flowers is going to

1149
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: be the guy, but I don't know how good Flowers

1150
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: is going to be. He might not get any better.

1151
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: You might be right, but you can't say it's impossible

1152
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: for a twenty four year old player to it. It's impossible.

1153
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: It's impossible. He can't. He doesn't have it. He is

1154
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: not a good tackle. Get rid of him, move on.

1155
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: That's the problem I have. We start Conner back. We

1156
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: brought in a whole bunch of guys to try to

1157
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: find the three or four or five or six we

1158
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: need on on the right side on tackles. We have nobody.

1159
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: We have Wheeler and we have Flowers. And that's it.

1160
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: What happens, God forbids Solder goes down for two or

1161
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: three games. What are we going to have Flowers back

1162
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: at left tackle and Wheeler at the right tackle. We

1163
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: have to have some depth. We have to bring some

1164
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: guys in. I don't understand ghettlement. Don't don't, don't, don't,

1165
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: don't say the name that I that that you want

1166
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: to say? Who can we bring it? Now? There might

1167
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: be some guys that that that Dave Gentleman has penciled in.

1168
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: And maybe you're in training camp, around the ending training camp,

1169
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: maybe middle training camp. I don't know. I think the

1170
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 1: tackles aren't growing on trees, not just sitting around waiting

1171
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: the jobs. But depth wise, I I agree with you

1172
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: there there a lot of depth there. Yeah, exactly. And

1173
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: so to me, you know, we've got a big hole

1174
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: on the right side. And you know, as I said before,

1175
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: like of course he said, the offensive line is five

1176
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: fingers in the glove, and you've got one of those

1177
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: fingers missing. You've got one blown assignment on the right side.

1178
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 1: That's it. The whole old line is gonna be. That's

1179
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: why I'm saying. You know, everyone saying well to you,

1180
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, we you like Dick has those excuses. Now

1181
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: he has to. You know, we got our offensive No,

1182
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: we don't have an offensive line right now. We don't.

1183
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: We don't have a right side. And until that, I'm

1184
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it until it's fit. You got your

1185
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: name for us, got a name number forty nine on

1186
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: the free agent list of top fifties. Mr will Beattie

1187
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 1: two times Super Bowls. Why not bring him in just

1188
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: to compete? If he doesn't make the nine, you know,

1189
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: if he's terrible, then let him go. He didn't last year.

1190
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: But hey, if the Philadelphia Eagles, a super Bowl team,

1191
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: bought this guy could be a swing tackle in case

1192
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: somebody went down on an old tackle left or right,

1193
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: then he's good enough for a three thirteen team to

1194
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: come in and compete on the right side. Thank you, Charlie.

1195
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: Don't you think the real quick chi more important business?
