1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Deuce Vaughn is now in their new set of downs

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: to work with.

3
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Prescott will throw it left side, It's caught by Lamb

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: breaking away.

5
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Waham, good bye touchdown Cowboys. Lamb is exclusive. Deonda Banks

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: catch beet on the play fifty five yards of a

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: catch and run for Lamb.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we hit all our field goals. Okay,

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey didn't actually do that tonight, but the Cowboys

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: get it done twenty to fifteen.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: The Cowboys survived. This was a get it done and

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: survive type a night.

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: Hopefully my guest today on NFL Daily can do the same.

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: Danny Heifeitz of The Ringer.

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 3: Danny, I'm sorry to have you on after a Giants

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: loss that was a tough one tonight.

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like football

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: now is officially back because we've had a Thursday night

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: football game where we had a split screenshot of Micaeh

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Parsons being carted off. Will mylak Neighbors was like carried

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to the blue medical tent and I was like, yeah,

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: that's how I feel inside the whole time watching this game.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was not a pretty game. A lot

24
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: of penalties in the first half, come down in the

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: second half. Al Michaels was groaning. It looked like it

26
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: was all but over. Late in the game, Brandon Aubrey,

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: as I mentioned, lines up for a fifty one yardfield goal, misses.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: It gives Daniel Jones one chance to go fifty four

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: yards in twenty eight seconds.

30
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: They get no yards.

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: Throwing the ball down the field late was as ugly

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: as it was throwing the ball down the field early.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: Otherwise, Daniel Jones played pretty well.

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: We'll get into all that, but yeah, you kind of

35
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: led with the big stuff which late in the game.

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: We'll just mention it right off the top. Monik Late.

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Neighbors leaves with a concussion. Micah Parsons was carted off

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: the field it appeared, I believe, with a lower leg

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: injury they're calling it. And DeMarcus Lawrence had left in

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: the third quarter with a foot injury. So all of

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: those injuries loom large, especially considering what a big part

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: of the offense Neighbors was. He hit his head on

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: the ground on what was to me really the end

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: of the game, which was a fourth down play where

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones left the pocket. I thought a little early

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Danny and scrambled it. Actually made a nice throw in

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: the end, got it on Neighbors' hands, and you hate

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 3: to see the game and that way he tried to

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: make a nice toe tap. It would have been a

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: sensational play, but actually the ball did get to him

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: and he couldn't quite pull it in. You think of

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: the game a couple of weeks ago in Washington, different situation,

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: but Neighbors, who has been their best player by far,

54
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: unfortunately in that spot, couldn't bring it in.

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, now it sounds like he could miss some time.

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: It's just an awful ending to a game. But I mean,

57
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: I look like Neighbors. I could be totally wrong, but

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: it looked like he actually got knocked out cold trying

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to do the toe tap that he had two feet

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: on the ground at a weird angle, two hands on

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the ball, and it looked like you just hit his

62
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: face on the ground. And I don't know if he

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: was knocked out or what, but I mean, it sucks

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: seeing him go out like I mean, Neighbors is the

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: entire team. I've been trying to figure out when the

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: last time a single NFL offense relied so heavily on

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: a rookie that was not back immediately, like even Odell

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: Beckham for the Giants, I mean Adell barely. I don't

69
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: think Odell even played the first month of the season,

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And like you know, Justin

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson didn't do anything til week three. I mean, all

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: the great seasons you think of. Frankly, I think you

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: might have to go back to like Adrian Peterson for

74
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: the last time a team entered a season and was like,

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: this kid is our offense because Neighbors it's closer to

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: like my career in like a Madden or NCA the

77
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: new college football video game, where like you're doing the

78
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Creative Player and like every player is for you, Like

79
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: that's what the Giants offense is. And then when they

80
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: double Neighbors, it's for Wandell Robinson. It's the entire offense.

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, So on the night, Neighbors ends up with twelve catches,

83
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifteen yards on fifteen targets.

84
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: He had a.

85
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: Route early in the game that embarrassed Andrew Booth, the

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys cornerback, maybe more than any route I've ever seen

87
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: any wide receiver embarrass a cornerback. At that point, they

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: were like, you are not allowed to cover him with

89
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: the rest of the game, And he didn't like Trayvon

90
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: Diggs had to cover him the rest of the game.

91
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: It looked like Michael Irvin going to the bucket in

92
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: the longest yard over Adam Sandler.

93
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: Danny, by the way, of course, from the Ringer Fantasy

94
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: Football Show, does great stuff over at the Ringer.

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: You should check him out.

96
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: He's with Danny Kelly over there, and it has been awesome.

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: And yes is a Giants fan, and I was hoping

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: for a Giants win just for content sake. It would

99
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: have been exciting to have you on after a win

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: and to see what this Cowboys team would do at

101
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: one in three.

102
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: I will give them credit for doing enough.

103
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: I don't feel any differently about the Cowboys after tonight

104
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: than I did going into the night.

105
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: But it was a crucial victory.

106
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: And Dak Prescott is still such an advantage, you know,

107
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: at quarterback, and it's tough to overcome that big of

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: an advantage at quarterback. And what was the stat al

109
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: said at the end of the game, thirteen straight over

110
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: the Giants or it's fourteen out of fifteen. For I

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 3: mean that is that is absolutely outrageous doubt. Dak finishes

112
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty seven, two hundred and twenty one yards,

113
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: two touchdowns. It was a very twenty twenty four night

114
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: by Dak where it's just like everything's just out of

115
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: his hands so quickly, almost everything's within ten yards. But

116
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: they moved the ball and they scored enough when they

117
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 3: had to. They left the door open a little bit

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: for the Giants at the end. But yeah, you've got

119
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: to be sick of losing to Dak Prescott.

120
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: It's it's non competitive, frankly, I mean the Giants again,

121
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: So the Giants. Dak is thirteen straight wins over the Giants.

122
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: The Giants have not beaten Dak Prescott's is twenty sixteen

123
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: and time the Giants have beaten thatk. So the Giants.

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: It's not just the Cowboys either, just too. The Giants

125
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys and the Eagles since twenty seventeen are

126
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: four and twenty five, which is a worst winning percentage

127
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: of the White Sox.

128
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: So the Giants are basically the White Sox inside these games,

129
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 4: except they're actually worse the White Socks actually are like

130
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: almost twice as good as as the Giants against the

131
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 4: Eagles Dallas. So it's like the extent to which the

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: Giants have been futile, it's hard to even explained.

133
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, they're tired for the worst record over

134
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: the last seven years. That barely touches it.

135
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: Right, because it's not like it's the Bills during the

136
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: Brady era who have a similar type of record, or

137
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: the Bears during the Packers Rogers era, like post Cutler

138
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: has a very similar record. Okay, it's like, we don't

139
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: have any quarterbacks. We're going against one of the all

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: time great teams. You go to against the Cowboys, which

141
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: has found a little consistency under Mike McCarthy, but they've

142
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 3: been rolling through, you know, Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy.

143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: They haven't been able to string together playoff seasons in

144
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: a row until the last couple of years.

145
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: This is not Aaron Rodgers and Tom.

146
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 3: Brady that you can't get a win against tonight.

147
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: I thought it might be your night, but it was

148
00:06:59,720 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 2: not you.

149
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Jason Garrett, Mike McCarthy, these guys that

150
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: everyone is making fun of of, like Oh, look at

151
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: these bozos. How are they beating anyone? Meanwhile, the Giants

152
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: have not beaten this team in seven years, basically the

153
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: only time it had to be Andy Dalton quarter That's

154
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: the other thing I did even mentioned this. Of the

155
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: four and one, there are four wins twenty five losses

156
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: against Dallas and Eagles. Two of those four wins were

157
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: against backup quarterbacks, once against Marcus Mariota for the Eagles,

158
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: once against Andy Dalton for Dallas. They've beaten Eagles starters

159
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: at Cowboys starters twice in eight years, so it's worse.

160
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: I absolutely love that we got comments in the chat here.

161
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: Anvil writes high Fitz rest harder against the Giants than

162
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: Cowboys fans, which is fun. And yeah, someone mentions Waddle's

163
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: rookie year had a crazy target Charehip fits. I believe

164
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: it was thirty four catches in the first four weeks

165
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: for neighbors unless he tacked one on after that, which

166
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: was second most in NFL history. And he's special and

167
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: he's gonna make this Giant season worth it no matter what.

168
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: Let's we'll get to more Giants in a bit, but

169
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 3: I do want to talk Cowboys in this game. They're

170
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: they're gonna be the more relevant team long term, although

171
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: I don't know how much is really separating these two teams.

172
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: The Cowboys decided tonight. I thought it was interesting to

173
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: basically go with a two man backfield. It was just

174
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: Rico Daddle and Hunter Lipkey. Hunter Lipke is their third

175
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: down running back, which is funny. He's their fullback. He's

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: actually he's kind of sneaky good. But as a Giants

177
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: fan who saw Ceede Lamb go in for that you

178
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 3: know touchdown, Tyler Nuban, your rookie safety, takes a terrible

179
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: angle on that Deontay Banks, who's like always in position

180
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: for plays but never makes plays. So I don't think

181
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: he's a bad cornerback, but he's not. He's not, you know,

182
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: a standout cornerback yet. And that's okay for a second

183
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 3: year cornerback. If you're just like, okay, that guy's a starter,

184
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: that's not a bad outcome. I don't even think for

185
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: like a late first round pick. But he never makes plays.

186
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: He's always there and he never makes.

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: Him I'm gonna steal that. He's always the he's standing

188
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: right there.

189
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: Yes, and Nubin is the one that really should take

190
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: the heat for that play. But Ceedee Lamb came out

191
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: and this game had a monster first half ends up

192
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: seven for ninety eight, had a great rushing attempt in

193
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: the first half, and then they went back to that

194
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: and it didn't work in the second. But after that

195
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: and Ferguson's a good tight end after that, it's crazy

196
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: to me my theory. And I know Cavante Turpin maybe

197
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: didn't get on the field on offense. He was on

198
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: the field, but I don't think he got a target.

199
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: My assessment of this offense right now is that Hunter

200
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: Lipke and Cavante Turpin are weapons three and four, which

201
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: is not what you want. I think Lipkey is actually

202
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: a pretty funky player. He's pretty fun He's pretty athletic

203
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: for a fullback. He could do lots of things like

204
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: he honestly could who knows. I don't want to get

205
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: over my skis, but he could have a pretty fun career.

206
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: But if he and Cavanti Turpin, who's dynamite anytime he

207
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: gets the ball, but must not know how to run

208
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: routes or else, like he would be in the lineup

209
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: more like I don't know, Like he's unreal. Uh, Cook's

210
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: cook looks cooked to me, Like, I don't know about

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: Brandon Cooks. At this point, he gets four targets, one catch.

212
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Tovers never done anything, and just it's a little thin.

213
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: Everything's hard for the Cowboys, even against this Giants defense.

214
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: Everything is hard for them in terms of moving the

215
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: ball down the field.

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I don't think that this game, if

217
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: your Cowboys fan, changes anything about how you feel about

218
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: the team. I still I don't care that they had

219
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: the Giants only have one yard of carry. I still

220
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: think Massi Smith has a habit of kind of like

221
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: making the guys blocking him look like they're shack botting

222
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: people out of the paint. I don't think, you know,

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: I think when you face it tougher rushing team, like,

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't think those questions are answered. And then I think,

225
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: like ceedee, Lamb's incredible. Yeah he sent Tyler Newban into

226
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: like the astral realm, like Tyler Dubin. Like I just

227
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: flashed back to when the Giants were like, damn, all

228
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: the guys we wanted were taken. I guess we'll take

229
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: Tyler Duban. But yeah, I mean to your point, about Hunter.

230
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: I agree, I think Olypke actually looks solid, But overall

231
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: I think Dallas they're almost They remind me of a

232
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: way of the Jets, where it's like there's like the

233
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys are just four acls from this whole thing collapsing

234
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: at any point, and so what happens to this team

235
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: if you know, unfortunately anything with Michael Parsons neces serious injury.

236
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: Dak looks incredible. I thought, honestly, that scramble he had

237
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: to lip key for that third and three thirty four. Yes,

238
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: it was one of the best throws of the whole game.

239
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: But overall, I just keep looking at Mike McCarthy with

240
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the Nick Sirianni thing. I'm like, what are you doing here?

241
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Why is nobody open? Why? Like I don't understand much

242
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: about this. Dallas has developed talent. I look at Tyler

243
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: Goutton struggling, and I'm like, you know what, Tyron Smith

244
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a great necessarily September. Like, you know, I'm

245
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: not worried about a bunch of stuff for Dallas, but

246
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I looked at this game and think

247
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: there are anything. There's still the big bad wall for

248
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: the regular season but I don't know.

249
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: Right, and we'll see in the nfcas like I don't.

250
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: I think they're a tick lower than they were the

251
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: last couple of seasons. I'm much more concerned this Mike

252
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: Zimmer defense, like wasn't getting a lot of pressure on

253
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. I checked out the pressure numbers via Next

254
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: Gen Stats, and I was surprised to see that Daniel

255
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: Jones had a pretty good numbers against pressure tonight. It

256
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: was it ended up six for eleven for sixty nine yards,

257
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: which is not great. I think that was the last

258
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: three plays basically, but before that he was like six

259
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: for eight. But I barely saw any of those pressures

260
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: and they weren't touching him like Daniel Jones has. I

261
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: can't remember a Giants game where Daniel Jones got out

262
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: as Scott free as this. Maybe the Commander's game, you

263
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: know too, there was a little bit of that, but

264
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: like he barely got hit, barely got knocked down. They

265
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: did a good job against Parsons for the most part.

266
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: Andrew Thomas is a stud and when Lawrence goes down,

267
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: it's just it's just on the even Like, I don't

268
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: see big time talent and the criticism you're saying about

269
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: McCarthy in this offense, Like, what does that remind me of?

270
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: Like the end of days in Packers Land, which is

271
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: just like they want to play though we have the

272
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 3: better players and we're just gonna beat you offense, And

273
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: it does feel to me, without getting ageists, there's a

274
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: little bit of like some of this old these old

275
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: guard offensive coaches. I don't know, I think getting closer

276
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: to the end, Doug Peterson and Mike McCarthy ar.

277
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the Pete Carroll of offense where you're like, yeah,

278
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: we're just gonna line up and beat you, and it's

279
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: like that doesn't work anymore. Like Cody Alexander at match

280
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: quarters Alway says like static is death, and you know,

281
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, you look at a bunch of this. I

282
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: thought the most creative thing they did all night was

283
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: put Cede Lamb in the backfield. Both teams did that. Actually,

284
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: Milick Dabors, one of the drop Beckx Jones had all

285
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: freaking season, was actually like Milik Dabers basically just ran

286
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: a dig out of the backfield that was kind of awesome.

287
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: And then Cee he had the longest run of the

288
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: night he ran for like, however many yards on that

289
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: first and twenty. But to your point, I think that

290
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: the Mike Zimmer defense part. Sorry, I know, I'm going

291
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: back and forth between offenses.

292
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: No, I love it.

293
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: But the Cowboys defense, you know, the dan Quinn he

294
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: has the how do you do my fellow kids, He's

295
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: got the backwards hat, and like, I don't know scmatically

296
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: if it's still the best thing, but he resonates with

297
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: the players and defenses for all the schematics. It's also

298
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: a lot of effort, and I think dan Quinn was like, hey,

299
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: you guys can do cool stuff. Michael Parsons one gap,

300
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: get in the backfield, disrupt, get to the guy Trevon Dicks.

301
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: You know what, Just jump routes, get pick sixes. He

302
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: gets hurt, Oh okay, cool, we're gonna have to run

303
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: plan jump routes, get pick sixes. Mike Zimmer comes in,

304
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: scream it at everyone. He's mean, you know what I mean,

305
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: it's just like no one does anything cool. Everyone's gonna

306
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: do your your unset really bored like job like hold it,

307
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not the jobs aren't

308
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: it's fun. And so when the defense doesn't have results.

309
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that over the course of the season, I

310
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: think that could wear on people. And I think the

311
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: pass rushed in there. I'll see if there's one thing

312
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: they did really well. The tackling by Dallas was phenomenal

313
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and they really needed to get better at that. Wanda

314
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: Robinson five eight, So I don't know how much credit

315
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: they get. Wandaal Robinson stopped on third down a yard

316
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: short of the sticks I think five times tonight, So

317
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: I will give Dallas credit for tackling.

318
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of them, he kind of it was

319
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: late in the game. Was that before that they they

320
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: picked up the fourth down in that in that one

321
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: but eleven catches for Wandell for seventy one yards. I mean,

322
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 3: he is your twelfth round or free agent pickup in fantasy.

323
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: You play him in your fourth flex spot dream right now,

324
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: because like he's gonna give you, Like he's not going

325
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: to have a high ceiling, but he's gonna get you

326
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: your thirteen fourteen fantasy points. Man, it's not gonna be pretty,

327
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: like you might not want to watch it, but he

328
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: actually usually makes the first guy miss.

329
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: I think he's played well.

330
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: I think he has a role in an NFL offense

331
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: as a very useful player. If he's your three slash four,

332
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: if you happen to have a good tight end, like

333
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: that's perfect. He's a little overextended right now. Is like

334
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 3: that it's neighbors in him and that's it. Slayton, you

335
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: needs to get Slaton more involved. But I think Wanda

336
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: is a good player. Actually that's my that's been my

337
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: takeaway from the end of last season and this season.

338
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I totally agree he's a good player. He's probably a

339
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: little miscast as the Yeah, if it's not neighbors, it's him,

340
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: and uh he's so On the Ring of Fantasy Football show,

341
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: I joked up PPR point perception scoring his participation trophies,

342
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: and like, Tonight's kind of a good example where I'm

343
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: like seventy one yards but he gets eleven points for

344
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: eleven catches, Like, yeah, almost none of which went for

345
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: first down, so frustrating.

346
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, the first couple of games he was picking

347
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: up fort souns. But yeah, it's crazy. They showed the

348
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: third down passing tonight and he had more targets than

349
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: neighbors and they had all of them. And that's really

350
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: all they ever did. Zachary Janda says we should end

351
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: the show with some tennis talk. I mean, don't temp

352
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: me with a good time here. We got the Tokyo Open,

353
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: Kaanie Sheikori bringing it back to twenty fourteen, little revenge

354
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: over Marion Chilich. You know, I'm not going to talk

355
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: tennis at all. I will completely bore everyone love Tiafo.

356
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 3: We have to have a Tiafa conversation. I would love

357
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: to it probably should be off off Mike, Michael Parsons. Yeah,

358
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: there's no update from Mike McCarthy. We're taping this as

359
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: they're doing the press availability. It is an ankle injury

360
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: for Micaeh Parsons, so that's worriedsome Lawrence with the foot

361
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: is extremely worrisome. The results of those two injuries is

362
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: going to really shape this Cowboys next month, you know,

363
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: potentially season, because right now they are at team that

364
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: isn't good enough at anything to survive losses. Like they're

365
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: bad enough on defense with those two guys, who are

366
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: two of their three best players on defense, you know,

367
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 3: including Diggs as well. You know at this point with

368
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: Lawrence probably around the same level. Without them, they're cooked

369
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: because yeah, they they went into the week. We got

370
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: to stop the run. We're sick of everyone saying we

371
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: can't stop the run. The Giants did not have a

372
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 3: run over five yards, but that was the Giants who exactly.

373
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: And I mean, look, I feel like the worst defensive

374
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: lines in the league right now that are making the

375
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: defenses just dea or like Cincinnati Carolina Arizona. I think

376
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: if Dallas doesn't have any game where they don't have

377
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons or DeMarcus Lawrence, I think Dallas is right

378
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: there because they already the defensive tackle, the whole spot

379
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: of the defense is already their biggest issue. They already

380
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: have Rick Hendricks, who I mean, frankly, this Eric Kendricks

381
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer thing wasn't working like three years ago. It's

382
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: kind of incredible it's still happening in twenty twenty four.

383
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: And then if they I mean, yeah, I frankly, maybe

384
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: am I being hyperbolic and saying this is like a

385
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: bottom five defensive line without those two dudes and maybe

386
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: a bottom five defense.

387
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's not hyperbolic.

388
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: I mean they through the first three weeks, which is

389
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: all we can really judge. We're pretty close to a

390
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: bottom five defense overall, just in terms of the eye

391
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: test and pretty much the numbers. And this is a

392
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: night where you know, I just don't think they have

393
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: the talent on defense, and so you need Dak to

394
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 3: carry you. But like I said, everything is so hard

395
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: last week, next sense that's had something that was the

396
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: lowest you know, separation that he's ever seen in a game,

397
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: and tonight, whether Cowboys fans like it or not, because

398
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: I know they're not aiming for a first round exit,

399
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: and this season they're not getting to twelve wins.

400
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen.

401
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 3: Like I think they're aiming for win the division at

402
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: ten or eleven wins and hope that's enough. They're not

403
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: going to be that team this year. The reason you

404
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: give Dak Prescott all that money is actually games like this.

405
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: It's because he goes nineteen for twenty two against zone coverage,

406
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: thirteen for fourteen, when he gets rid of the ball

407
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 3: under two and a half seconds for one hundred and

408
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: forty three yards in two touchdowns. He can say, man,

409
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: that's wasn't that exciting, wasn't that boring? But it's like

410
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: he's moving, he is basically controlling the entire game himself

411
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: against an inferior team in the division, and that he's like,

412
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: he's gonna get you those wins almost by himself without

413
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: a lot of help. He's got ceedee lamb and a

414
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 3: little bit of coaching. But I don't know that right

415
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 3: now that the talent around him isn't that great. And

416
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: so that's it's partly why you give him all that

417
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: money and the rest of the numbers. You know, they're

418
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 3: not doing a lot down the field, but other than CD,

419
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: who's not you know, that's not what he majors in.

420
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're downfield passing is. I mean,

421
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: if the if the Giants and Cowboys weren't in the

422
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: same division, I'd say they should they should call the

423
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: Giants about Darius Slayton.

424
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: Darius Slayton could help them. Yeah, I take him.

425
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 3: I would take him over the in Brandon Cooks in

426
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: the Cooks role any day.

427
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: And it's funny because Darius Slayton led the Giants and

428
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: receiving four years in a row and they try to

429
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: cut him every one of the four seasons, so that

430
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: actually would work really well. And then no, I totally agree.

431
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Prescott used to make annually under seven

432
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year, and now he's making like

433
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars per quarter of every game, and

434
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: so like you watch a game like tonight and you're like, yeah,

435
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: you know what, he's playing really well and almost in

436
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: a weird way. I don't know if it's stylistically, but

437
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: he almost reminds me of Matt Stafford in the middle

438
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: of the twenty tens with the Lions, just because if

439
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: he was on a different team, I think you'd really

440
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: quickly be like, oh my god, like he might win

441
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: the MVP, like like in a weird way they like

442
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: there's questions about how good he is and what is

443
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: he accomplished. But then you take Stafford off, you put

444
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: him on the RAMS, and you're like, oh, they won

445
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And I kind of think Dak's actually

446
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: in that range too, where if you know, if you

447
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: had been air dropped into Miami in a you know,

448
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: in a healthier at Miami season, I'm like, I kind

449
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: of think it would be immediately unbelievable. But you know,

450
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is older than Joe Biden, so this team

451
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: isn't very good.

452
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: Harrison call toon, Beck says, this Cowboys defense looking this

453
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: bad in weeks two through four really shows you how

454
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: bad the Shaun Watson is. You're telling me Watson was

455
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: useless against the Steven I have thought about that a

456
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: little bit, like like all the Watson games and in

457
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: like the Jaguars game, like everything. When you see those

458
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: defenses play other teams, you're like, man, you know Watson

459
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: is really struggling. All right, we'll take a quick break

460
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: and we'll be back to talk some giants after this.

461
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: It is kind of crazy, though, like the.

462
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: Disrespect for your giants, and let's switch over to focusing

463
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: on the Giants a little more that. You know, you

464
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: only gave up fifteen points to the Giants and it's

465
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 3: considered a terrible performance.

466
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: I think Cowboys defense.

467
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: I guess the reason for that is there weren't a

468
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 3: lot of stops. The Giants moved the ball all day,

469
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 3: but it was like long field goal drives. Stand up

470
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 3: with three hundred yards and yeah it comes off five

471
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: field goal drives.

472
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 2: Way, they didn't have a touchdown in this game right

473
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: in my career.

474
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: No, they did not have a touchdown. I mean Dable

475
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: went for it on every on every fourth down that

476
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: mattered except the one that actually mattered the most, which

477
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: was the one like three yards in the goal line,

478
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he settled for a field goal. And

479
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, the Giants lost. Here's the thing, the

480
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: Giants gate. You want the big picture, Giants, or you

481
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: want to.

482
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: First one, Well, first I want you to take just

483
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: put a pin in that for a second and say

484
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: or I can mention just the situation there at that point,

485
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: they're down by five.

486
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: Is it's either late third or early fourth.

487
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: Both defenses are struggling to get stopped, and they choose

488
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: to kick a field goal on fourth and goal from

489
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: the three to cut it from five to two, which

490
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 3: was patently insane and shocking to me because he's an

491
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: offensive coach and he had he did go for fourth

492
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: down in the other key spots in the game, and

493
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: it was kind of obvious to me. It's like, man,

494
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: it's gonna be hard for them to get close to

495
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: the goal line because they're not getting any chunk plays.

496
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: And they got it.

497
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: And it's like the next time they had fourth and

498
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 3: four in midfield, they got it. Like I trust them

499
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: to get three yards. I don't trust them to get

500
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 3: down there.

501
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: And it's like Nick sirianni ESK, where it's like you

502
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: have a chart that you consult, and again, a coach's

503
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: job is to take the analytics and assess it to

504
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: real life whether the numbers apply. Having said that, I mean,

505
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: any of the decisions they had made earlier, if those

506
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: were goes, Like I don't know why fourth to three

507
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a goal. It wouldn't be like a go

508
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: for it, except the answers they're like, oh, take the points.

509
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: Because for all this stuff like fourth downs about analytics,

510
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: it's also just also about like, yeah, it's like Madden.

511
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: You're like, I would like this points down, and then

512
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: you get really close and you're like, oh, we got

513
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: the field goal. I don't know. I mean even maybe

514
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: this is wilder too. But they had a I think

515
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: it was a fourth and nine, and then the Cowboys

516
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: went off sides, which was insane on the field goal,

517
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: and they could have taken the three points off and

518
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: go off for the fourth and three there, and I

519
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: thought that was a little concerning, But I don't think

520
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: the fourth downs what bothered me the most. Frankly, I

521
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: thought the Giants game in a nutshell was that the

522
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: first quarter was that the refs shot the Giants to

523
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: the foot and you know the face mask on Daniel Bellinger,

524
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: that he got face masked and flagged for it. So

525
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: the Giants lost thirty yards the shit out of first

526
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: intent at the eighteen, and so they had a second

527
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: and eighteen at the forty eight, and then the next

528
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: and then the next drive the Cowboys. Objectively one of

529
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: the worst calls of the NFL season. I actually am

530
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: not a get on the refs guy almost ever, just

531
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: because it seems like an impossible job whenever you see

532
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: it live there down on the field, and we recognize

533
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: like that players and coaches screw up a million times

534
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: every game and there's no acceptance that, like, of course

535
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: the referees do. But that one, to your point, put

536
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: them out of like a great touchdown situation to absolutely

537
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: killing the drive. And it was a mystifying, like reversal call.

538
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: You you rarely see a call hurt a team that much.

539
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: That is inexplicable. So I will give you that as

540
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: a Giants fan, it just it really is. And I'm

541
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: actually agreed to I think people are too hard on refs,

542
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: But like the contrast with the next drive when the

543
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson has clearly holding on a cornerback and he's

544
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: pulling its pure jersey. I know, holdings every play, but

545
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: it's like pull jersey. They throw the flag. They picked

546
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: the flag up, and I'm like, come on, dude, you

547
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: started the ground. That give us, you know, to pull

548
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: the makeup call away, And it wasn't a makeup call.

549
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: He did it. So then that gives the Rico Dawdle touchdown.

550
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: So but having said that, I'm not gonna blame the

551
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: rest for the game because the first quarter was the

552
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: rest shot the Giants in the foot. The second quarter

553
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: was the Giants shot the Giants in the foot, because

554
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's so funny. Daniel Jones finished

555
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: this game with twenty nine to forty. It really was

556
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: like way fewer incompletions until the last drive two hundred

557
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: and eighty one yards, took no touchdowns at one interception

558
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: at the end that didn't count. I thought Daniel Jones

559
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of played in a way terribly in this game,

560
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: and that actually breaking quarter alone not terribly, but like

561
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: he probably left twenty one points on the board. They

562
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: should have like he he missed a deep touch on

563
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: a free play, he under threw Darius Slayton for a

564
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: touchdown by fifteen maybe like twenty yards, considering Darius Slayton

565
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: was in a full sprint and to slow down. He

566
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: missed Milik Neighbors in a full sprint on like a

567
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: like a like basically like a giant deep cross. He

568
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: didn't get to see Melik Neighbors down the sideline up

569
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: pile on another time, he missed Layton short again on

570
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: the last drive, like every single play that could have

571
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: broken open the game that Dable I think schemed really well.

572
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was short by an amount that it was

573
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: more like is he healthy than anything else, Like I

574
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: was wondering if he actually can physically do it, because

575
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: every single time he needed to throw ball over forty

576
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: yards he could not do it. Period.

577
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: So the numbers on his deep passing this year are insane.

578
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 3: Now he's two for fourteen and throws over twenty yards.

579
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 3: And it was something that the Giants beat writers were

580
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 3: saying all camp like Dabeles really stress in vertical vertical.

581
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 3: They want to go vertical, but it hasn't looked good

582
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: for Daniel Jones when he goes vertical, and you're right

583
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: the broadcast, which you know, I have my issues with

584
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: this this Thursday night broadcast basically Al.

585
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: But it's a little bit of Alian, is it?

586
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: Because Al basically admits he doesn't want to be there

587
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: at every quarter of the game.

588
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: He's not adding to it. And I get that it's

589
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: fun when he bangs on the raft. That's probably the

590
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: best part of Al. Actually, let's take a listen to

591
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: Al having his version of fun on Thursday night.

592
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 5: A warning, it's not a curve the flag. It's like

593
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: June fourteenth here anyone was known as flag days, you know.

594
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: And he's probably checking his mentions because there was about

595
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: fifteen different other little one liners and.

596
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: Jokes after that. You seem like you want to go

597
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: after it.

598
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how far you want to go, I'll say,

599
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: is Al Michaels? I don't know? I mean, does does

600
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: he want to be do with this?

601
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: I love I love Al Michaels.

602
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: The thing that bothers me the most by far is

603
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: more just updating the audience on really important parts of

604
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: the situation in the game. So that's your job as

605
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: a broadcaster. When Neighbors was concussed. They didn't mention it,

606
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: and then he was, oh, yeah, then Neighbors goes into

607
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: the blue tent.

608
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: He just says Neighbors went into the blue tent, and

609
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: that was it.

610
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: And then at the end he said he had a concussion,

611
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: didn't say he's really and just barely made a very

612
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 3: similar situation with two a couple of weeks ago. And

613
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: that came like a minute or two after he had

614
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: already given the Cowboys the win. I'm like, wait, the

615
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: game is it over? He was talking about what a

616
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 3: great ride, It's gonna be back. Okay, I don't need

617
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: to get into all that, but it bums me out

618
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: a little bit. This Giants night, I think was probably

619
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 3: most disappointing if you drill down into the defense. Dexter Lawrence,

620
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: according to Next Gen Stats, was double teamed on twenty

621
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: of twenty five plays. It's eighty percent. That is the

622
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 3: highest rate of double teams in any game for any

623
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: player since twenty sixteen. Yeah, and it's crazy. You need

624
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 3: the other guys to step up more. It's kind of

625
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 3: my takeaway from that.

626
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, and I know I'm this is

627
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: biased fan brain speaking, but I actually think I'm right.

628
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: I think Dexter Lawrence on a better team would be

629
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: on like a Hall of Fame track. Like, I think

630
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence is very clearly like the best player in

631
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: the on defense. That's not Aaron Donald. If you want

632
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: to throw Chris Jones out there, because he's done it

633
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl level, sure, but Dexter Lawrence is

634
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: like a special player that is being just a bond

635
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: abominably wasted. And it's crazy to say this out loud,

636
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: but I believe he turns twenty eight this season, and

637
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, do the Giants freaking have

638
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: to trade him just because he's not going to be

639
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: good enough on the path that the Giants are on.

640
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's the only strength of the team

641
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: is Burns, Brian Burns, Thibodeau, who actually did stuff tonight

642
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: and then undid it with he got a sack and

643
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: then immediately committed a penalty to undo the sack. But

644
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: then this is the strength of the team, and it's

645
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: back to old school Giants of like having a great

646
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: defensive line. The secondary's a mess. I'm kind of like,

647
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: whatever you can fix that, if the pass rush is

648
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 1: good enough. But yeah, I mean, Lawrence is a special player,

649
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm very excited to waste his prime.

650
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: Anytime they just put one guy against him, I mean,

651
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: it's over. It's absolutely over. I'm with you. Hall of

652
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: Fame trajectory is too far because he had such a

653
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: late breakout. Really, his his breakout was two years ago,

654
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: and so this is the third year he's stacking as

655
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: an elite player. But you're not crazy because he should

656
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: he got robbed. He should have been an All Pro

657
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: last year, like first or second team.

658
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: He certainly was a bowler, like I think you will

659
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: be an All Pro this year.

660
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: And if you start stacking up a couple of pros

661
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: in a row like then you start getting into the discussion.

662
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: So if he keeps stacking these years, he can do it.

663
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: But you need more out of Brian Burns, who's hasn't

664
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: been bad this year, but hasn't been special. This game,

665
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: he was absolutely silent. He was not credited with the pressure.

666
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: Now Dak gets credit for some of that, certainly, but

667
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: Kavon had a great night. Like Kavon was beaten get

668
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: In pretty regularly, and the matchup, I guess for Burns.

669
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: Then was Terren Steele, who's been struggling all year quite badly. Really,

670
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: the whole Cowboys offensive line has been up and down.

671
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: Zach Martin hasn't really been who Zach Martin wants to

672
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: be the rookies today, right, Well, yeah he got an

673
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 3: eye injury.

674
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: That that was.

675
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: There was a lot going on in this game in

676
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: terms of injuries, guys getting in and out. Diggs had

677
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: a cramp at one point. But yeah, you this defense

678
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: isn't gonna be special enough. It's tricky. I I I

679
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: feel for you. I feel for Giants fans. I've come around.

680
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm finally over it. Well, finally over what happened a

681
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: decade plus ago.

682
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: I understand because it's weird. It's also weird as a

683
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: Giants fan because two things are true. Giants won two

684
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowls this century, and it's like, how do you

685
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: complain about that? The flip side is they have they're

686
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: tied with the Jets for the worst record in the

687
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: NFL over the last seven years period, They've been the worst, Wow,

688
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFL. And so it's a

689
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: really weird identity shift to go from like, yeah, we're

690
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: like the asterisk on the Patriots dominance of this century

691
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: and also the worst team at the same time. And

692
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: also the Giants.

693
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: Coplin never met, like they never made the playoffs with

694
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: the I like, other than when they won.

695
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl. I mean they did once or twice,

696
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: but it was like barely.

697
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: The Giants are an anomaly that happened twice. Like the

698
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: Giants big picture are just this, like Buster Douglas never

699
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: fought Tyson again the US. They'd never like beat US's

700
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: and the Soviet Union again. Like the Giants are in

701
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: the conversation for the biggest upsets ever, but then they

702
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: won the rematch. But like it was, everything else is

703
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: a fluke. But it's weird because they're celebrating quote they're

704
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: quote celebrating the one hundred season. The Giants are on

705
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: a quivocally in the worst seven year stretch of the

706
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: entire history of the franchise. Like it's not even close.

707
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: And so with that, I ask you, in your unbiased opinion,

708
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: they got to move on from Jones, right, because I

709
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: think he played well tonight, Because I look at this

710
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: game as a very well seemed game by Dable that

711
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: Jones frankly ruined by not hitting the three things that

712
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: should have been touchdowns.

713
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: I think you're probably closer to the truth than just

714
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: saying he played well. I think you've just the bar

715
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: Is Solow for Jones coming into the year because of

716
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 3: the couple last games that we saw in play last year,

717
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: and then the preseason what you heard, and then the

718
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: Week one was such an abomination that the last three

719
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: weeks in a league where so many quarterbacks are looking

720
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: just absolutely terrible, Daniel Jones is just like, he hasn't

721
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: killed you the last few weeks. He's completing a high

722
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 3: percentage of passes like tonight, Yeah, on over two and

723
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: a half second throws. And this all got worse at

724
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: the end, but at one point he was kind of dealing.

725
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: He's sixteen for twenty five for two hundred and four yards. Yeah,

726
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: I mean the one play down the field is when Neighbors,

727
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: you know, shakes his cornerback to be like twenty years open.

728
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, of course they have to move on from

729
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones like this after this season. I think he's

730
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: played well enough that there's no need to go to

731
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: Drew Locke now he's playing. My thing with Daniel Jones

732
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: was always if you protect him, he could be replacement level,

733
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: which which is to say he's not a franchise quarterback.

734
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: He's not above the Dalton scale as a franchise quarterback.

735
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: But he's not like a catastrophe. He's just like he's

736
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: a bridge quarterback that you should have never given the

737
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: contract that you gave to him.

738
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 2: It was obviously when it happened.

739
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: In dating terms, he's a nice guy, yeah, nice, And

740
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: he does seem like a nice guy. Yeah, he's a

741
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: nice guy. It's fine.

742
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: Having you on tonight.

743
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: I was thinking about it. It could possibly be my

744
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 3: subconscience as revenge.

745
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: You just wanted to just.

746
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: Like, oh seven, yeah, just you know, just teach you

747
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: a lesson in professionalism, you know, coming off after a

748
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: tough loss. My first Super Bowl that I covered, which

749
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: was an absolute thrill, was for nbcsports dot Com in

750
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: the seven season, oh eight. It was you know, the

751
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 3: eighteen and one game Giants Patriots, and yeah, I had

752
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: to do some digital hits that probably sixteen people watched

753
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 3: after the game. But you know, we we we we

754
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 3: had a microphone and there was cameras there, and I thought,

755
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 3: like we I think we did like five reasons why

756
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: the Giants won or something. I was like, I was, like,

757
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 3: I nailed it, like totally unbiased professional.

758
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 2: It was awesome. I watched it the next day and

759
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: it looked like my parents had like just fallen like

760
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: deeply ill, and like I was just like totally ashen

761
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: and sad, and I totally had faked myself out into

762
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: thinking that I like wasn't disappointed when I was when

763
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: I was very disappointed.

764
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: It's funny because while you were doing that hit, that

765
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: was the best moment of my entire life. Literally they

766
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: were handing you the date.

767
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 3: I actually had a fun It was a really fun

768
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: night and a fun experience, and that like the adrenaline

769
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 3: of the whole thing didn't really hit me until going

770
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: to a bar afterwards and starting to see the highlights

771
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: on on the TV and then realizing like, oh, yeah,

772
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 3: that's real.

773
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: That happened.

774
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 3: And I actually, you had no idea in the stadium

775
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 3: that the helmet catch was the helmet catch. Yeah, And

776
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: like I was immediately filing and going on the field,

777
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: so he wasn't even on. You know, it's like it's

778
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, you're not on today. I had

779
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 3: no idea what that the helmet catch was was the helmet.

780
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: Catch Samuel drop was like, actually the I mean I

781
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: saw Randy Moss, my favorite player, score a game winning

782
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: touchdown in what would have been the best drive of

783
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career.

784
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: If Manning didn't ruin it like that. People kind of

785
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 3: forget that drive.

786
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: That oh he had Stephen Corey Webster, Yes, and then

787
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Jay Alford came home and just you know, like can

788
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: it on that third down? But yeah, I thought I

789
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: remember every single play of that game.

790
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: But it's fine, Anvil says Daniel Jones is tearing the

791
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 3: Hifitz family apart. I love that there's a lot of

792
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: hy Fitz fans who came in tonight and GEO Central

793
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: ass is Washington the second best team in the NFC East.

794
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: That's a fun question.

795
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: I think they have a chance because I think they're

796
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 3: obviously either the best offense or the second best offense,

797
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 3: and that'll take you far. They probably have the worst

798
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 3: defense in the entire league. But if they could be

799
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 3: a top five offense with a bottom five defense and

800
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: go eight to nine or nine and eight with that

801
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: in a bad division, that could be better than the Cowboys.

802
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 3: I'm pretty down on the Cowboys right now. It's one

803
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: reason why I thought the Giants would cover this game.

804
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: I guess they did with that Aubrey miss at the end.

805
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: It depends where you when in the week you got

806
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: your number. I thought the Giants would cover and maybe

807
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: win this game. And because I just don't have much

808
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 3: faith in this Cowboys, so I will say they're about

809
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 3: tied with the Cowboys if I had to power rank.

810
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: I mean Bill Barnwell, who I believe is watching the

811
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: stream right now, picked Washington as a potential surprise team

812
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: that could make the playoffs. I think they totally could.

813
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: I think Cliff Kingsbury is like somewhat consistently just his

814
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: offenses have stailed as the season's wane, and so I

815
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: think that I'm a little hesitant to kind of assume

816
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: that the incredible Jane Daniel start will go. I actually

817
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: think there are a few reasons that it might not

818
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: happen this year. But until I see it, I'm a

819
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: little hesitant to be like, yeah, this stuff, Cliff Kingsbury's

820
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: doing great week three is going to continue to week thirteen.

821
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: Whereas Dak I think is just you know, been there,

822
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: done that. But yeah, I mean again, I'm not trying

823
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: to sell like some salty giants Finn either. I just again,

824
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: it's Dak. They couldn't do it when DAK was making

825
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: seven hundred k a year and now Dak's making eight

826
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: hundred k a quarter. And Mike and Parsons and CD

827
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: used to make two three percent of the Dallas cap

828
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: and now they're about to be like twenty two to

829
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: twenty four percent. And I just overall again the lack

830
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: of depth on this Cowboys team. It's like people get hurt,

831
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, but there's no next. Like they've developed some people,

832
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: but again, and the Dallas the next I mean the

833
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: next games, the Dallas plays. I mean not to beat

834
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 1: up on the Cowboys right now, but.

835
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 2: No, let's look ahead a little bit.

836
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: Heelers, Lions, forty nine Ers, Falcons, Eagles, Texans. That's what

837
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have coming up.

838
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: And their bye is in there. And it's funny because

839
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: I listened to a lot of team podcasts. I've started

840
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: doing that lately just to get get the vibe. And

841
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: I listened to Love of the Star podcast and the

842
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 3: Cowboys and a lot of and like I listened to

843
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 3: a forty nine Ers podcast and a lot of them

844
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: are like, man, if we lose this week, if you

845
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: look at the schedule, they might we might not win

846
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: again until the bye week. And I'm like, wow, Cowboys

847
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: reporters are saying this, like we could be one in

848
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 3: five and then McCarthy would be in trouble at the

849
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 3: bye week, and I'm like, wow, that's dark. I wouldn't

850
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 3: go that far, Like you're you're probably gonna be able

851
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: to beat some of these good teams. But this win

852
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 3: was absolutely crucial with the injuries now to think about.

853
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: And yet that the Giants head to Seattle next week,

854
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: I believe, and that's brutal. That's a tough spot for

855
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: That's a real litmus test for Daniel Jones, who hasn't

856
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: had the toughest you know run that I mean, he's

857
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 3: survived against the Browns defense, That's what I mean.

858
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 2: Like, you played the Browns defense and you survived.

859
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: Those two defenses though are the past, like Jim Schwartz

860
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: is the last one of the last guys doing static

861
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: defense with any success, and then Mike Zimmer is the past,

862
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: and like Mike McDonald is the bleeding edge of the future.

863
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: And I think Daniel Jones is going to do very poorly.

864
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's going to be his last season

865
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: with the Giants. I think how the rest of the

866
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 3: season goes will decide if it's if it's stable in

867
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: Joe Shane's last season with the Giant, this will not

868
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 3: be your last time on NFL.

869
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: Next year we'll do this again when Bill Belichick is

870
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: coaching the Giants and Deon Sanders is coaching the Cowboys.

871
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: That would be awesome. We don't need to wait till

872
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 2: next year.

873
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 3: It's in the title Danny NFL Daily, So I want

874
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: to have you back again.

875
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: You're almost too good at this.

876
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 3: I'm having major camera problems before we take to delay

877
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: us like five minutes. I set up this beautiful new

878
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 3: camera that uh it's it's just amazing, but it didn't

879
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 3: didn't get a rolling tonight, and I'm I'm frazzling. You're

880
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 3: just You're just cool as a cucumber with your Alec

881
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: Baldwin hair back there, and I appreciate you. Everyone should

882

Speaker 3: check out Danny the Ringer Fantasy Football show.

883
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: You're writing, what else? What else can we plug? Danny?

884
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Yeah? Just I mean the Ringer dot Com great website, Yeah,

885
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: the Ringer Fantasy Football Show do with Danny Kelly, Craig

886
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: Whorlbeck and yeah, it's it's it's a great fantasy football

887
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: show because we're kind of dumb and we're but we're

888
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: right sometimes, but we have a very fun time. So yeah,

889
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: we actually give good advice. We were the only show

890
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: I think that didn't have Christian McCaffrey as the number

891
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: one guy. But also we argued today about for like

892
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: five ten minutes about whether Jupiter is made of like

893
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: gas or solid. So yeah, we're a different show. So

894
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: check it out. Thank you for having me, because this

895
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: is this show. This show is incredible and you're doing

896
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: an amazing job.

897
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And that is a very smart take

898
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: on McCaffrey. I would like to think that back, you know,

899
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 3: if I put myself in the shoes when it was

900
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: back in the fantasy minds, you know, working hard, I

901
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 3: don't think I would have had McCaffrey first. Just all

902
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: I needed was like, I'm not taking anyone with a

903
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 3: soft tissue.

904
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 2: Injury before the season period.

905
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: It's like if I like, I'm not saying not take them,

906
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 3: but I'm not taking first overall, and I'm probably not

907
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: taking him above his average apposition. If you just did

908
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: that as a fantasy football owner, you're probably gonna like

909
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 3: win way more than you lose. Oh, a guy that's

910
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: had like injury issues before, and you know there's I

911
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: don't even want to get into, you know, his history

912
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 3: and stuff, and now he's going to Germany. I would

913
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 3: like to think I would have had the same opinion.

914
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 3: I told my son not to take him, so that, well,

915
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 3: there you go.

916
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. They gave the only advice that

917
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: really mattered, So there you go.

918
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 3: He did not listen, but he didn't get the first

919
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: overall pick, so he didn't wind up with him.

920
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 2: Thank you, Danny high Fitz. Again.

921
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, check out the fantasy show, The Ringer Fantasy Football Show.

922
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: I will be back on Friday.

923
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 3: We do our little mini pick show with some picks

924
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: against the spread with Cynthia Friedland and so yeah, the

925
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: Giants are one and three. That's that's when you know

926
