00:00Peter and J-Mac had the lovely task of being at Giants camp yesterday.
00:05And so, Peter, how do you think Harbaugh has already changed the culture there?
00:09Think about a country club or somewhere really fancy, a nice five.
00:12This Giants team we've seen since the Tom Coughlin era.
00:14And with such a young roster, they're building a culture.
00:17And Harbaugh is making sure that this is going to be a team that come November and December is ready
00:23for adversity.
00:23And he's doing it by making it as hard as possible in August.
00:27It seems like Tom Thibodeau of football.
00:28It's like, I'm getting Tom Thibodeau.
00:29Not a bad analogy.
00:31Right?
00:31It's actually a very good comparison.
00:33Two wins.
00:34Like, does that turn into execution?
00:36There's two new systems on the offensive side, the defensive side.
00:39Burns, a leader on that defense, said that was an extraordinary play.
00:42We've been begging him to slide.
00:44So, when you talk about a new culture, a new foundation, those are the small things that you're trying to
00:49get a young team to understand that are important when it comes up.
00:52I don't think it was just them that wanted Jackson Dart to slide.
00:55I think everyone everywhere is hoping that he learns how to slide as well.
00:57Okay, Hawk, let's go through this giant schedule.
01:00Wins, losses, what are we going to do here?
01:02Here we go.
01:02Pull it up.
01:03We're going to start here with the Cowboys.
01:05Highly tied to game.
01:06We win a 10, year one, the John Harbaugh experience.
01:09It ends up better than the way we get there.
01:13The culture isn't built on August 11th.
01:15I think that would be a giant improvement.
01:17So, then where would you flip?
01:19Where would you flip a loss to a win here?
01:21Because you have 10 wins.
01:22And I think we could potentially beat the Niners at home.
01:24I got them going 11 wins.
01:26Sheesh, right?
01:28I look at when Hawk finished, those to me are realistic expectations for a giant scene.
01:34They won four games a year ago.
01:36Four and 13.
01:37So, you win seven games in your year one under John Harbaugh?
01:41A lot of these games you're looking at now in August is tough.
01:44It's a brutal schedule.
01:45AFC South and the NFC West are probably the two best.
01:48Be predicated on the quarterback.
01:50Like, that's a little demoralizing.
01:51It could be at least week one and week two.
01:53But nonetheless, at least Titans and Cardinals maybe give them a little bit of something there.
01:58Okay.
01:58Coming up here on First Take.
