00:00Malik Neighbors, the amazingly talented wide receiver for the Giants,

00:04who's out with the torn ACL, he put out a tweet and then deleted it.

00:08And his tweet was right on.

00:09The Giants were playing the Lions.

00:11The Giants are up by three.

00:12We can show you the tweet right there.

00:14And the Giants have a choice late in the game.

00:16Kick an easy field goal, go up by six, kick off.

00:20Let's even say Detroit gets the ball in the 30.

00:22They've got to go 70 yards with very little time on the clock

00:26and no timeouts left to try to beat you.

00:30But they didn't do that.

00:32Instead, the Giants decided to go for it.

00:34They don't convert.

00:35They don't get points.

00:36And now the Lions only need a field goal to tie you and go to overtime.

00:40And they kicked a 59-yard field goal to do exactly that.

00:44So Malik Neighbors is watching them going, dude, this is common sense.

00:48Like every kid that ever played Mad knows what you do here.

00:51And I've got to tell you something.

00:53Malik Neighbors is right.

00:55If the idea is to win the game, you kick the field goal,

01:00you go up six, you kick off, and now you ask your defense

01:04to just stop them from going 70 yards for a touchdown.

01:09Right, 69 is allowed.

01:1069 is allowed.

01:11There you go.

01:12If the idea is to win.

01:14To win the game.

01:14And I understand when you're 2-9, the idea is to be very aggressive.

01:18I agree with that.

01:194th and 4, I don't care where you are, go for it.

01:21Go for it.

01:22You know, all that kind of stuff.

01:23But when you have a chance to win the game, go win the damn game.

01:28Malik Neighbors is right.

01:29No, he's right.

01:30That was a bad job by the New York Giants.

01:32Now, are players allowed to say that?

01:35Well, you can leave it right away.

01:36Right.

01:37What he said was correct.

01:38The question is only should he say it.

01:41Because absolutely what he said was correct.

01:42I think when it comes down to something like that, and look, he's not with the team, he's

01:46not playing.

01:47I don't know if that makes it better or worse.

01:49You could probably argue either side to that.

01:51But the players also know when they've got a competent coach on the sideline and when they

01:56don't.

01:56Right.

01:57Right?

01:57They're aware of it.

01:58And while Kafka's not going to be the coach next year, the reality is that when you're dying

02:06for a win, right, when you can't find a win anywhere, and you've had all these other

02:10fourth quarter collapses, and now you've got a relatively easy one where just take the

02:16three points, go up six, and force them to score a touchdown to beat you.

02:23And instead, they barely got across midfield on that possession because they only needed

02:30a field goal.

02:31And I think Malik Nabors is right.

02:33My gut is they've already called him and talked to him, which is why he probably took the thing

02:38down or his agent said, Malik, take that down right away.

02:40That's not going to go well for you.

02:42But that doesn't mean he was wrong.

02:44No, I think what he said was absolutely correct.

02:46And look at it.

02:48Jameis has, what he has done is put the Giants in a position where they can win.

02:52They haven't won, but he's made them competitive in these games.

02:55Those, that locker room probably deserved a W.

02:57Yes.

02:57And needed a W.

02:58I mean, they've deserved a lot of Ws based on what the score was going into the fourth

03:02quarter.

03:02Yeah.
