00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of Papa's Perspective. I'm Bob Papa.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Guess what. It's early in the season, and the Giants

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: play a Sunday night game in Dallas against the Cowboys

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: every year. Same thing. Look, the Giants are five and

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: four in the Cowboys new stadium, having won the very

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: first game there. Now the teams are completely different, So

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: that's just history. That's fun stuff to celebrate, has nothing

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: to do with what will happen on Sunday. The good

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: news is, though, the Giants have a quarterback that knows

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: how to deal with that situation. Because crowd noise can

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: be a huge factor in a stadium that holds over

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: ninety thousand people, They're gonna be all amped up for

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys first home game of the year. But when

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: you cut through all of that, it really comes down

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: to one thing. The Giants offensive line needs to play

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: better than they did last week, and I expect that

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: they will. Yes, Jacksonville has one of the best defenses,

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys have a really good front seven as well.

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: They're active, they're fast, they're athletic. But I expect this

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: team to learn from some of the mistakes that they

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: made last week, and I think that the Giants are

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good opportunity to go out and

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: run the football effectively, and if they can get that

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: run game going, gosh Adell Beckham Jr. Was running by

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars players all last week and there was a bunch

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: of instances where if Eli just had a second or

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: two longer a half a second to get the ball

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: to O'Dell in space, things could have been a lot different.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: And they're gonna get those opportunities against the Cowboys coming

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: up on Sunday night because Dallas, although they have a

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: good front seven, they can be exploited as far as

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: that secondary is concerned. Conversely, it's really simple on the

33
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. The Giants have to be

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: able to stop the run. It's really plain and simple.

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys offense is built on the running attack

36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: of Ezekiel Elliott. He's a guy that moves the change.

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Last week, the Cowboys were stuck in a lot of

38
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: third and longs and unproductive. As I've said before, it

39
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: all starts up front. That's where the Giants have to win,

40
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: and that's my perspective. I'm Bob Papa
