00:00And what do you think stood out about John Harbaugh's first coach game?
00:05You mentioned the physicality early on and how that might be their calling card.
00:08Was that the thing that stood out to you?
00:09Because to me, it just looked like they, like you said, were more physical,
00:12but just, I think, more connected.
00:14It just felt like they knew, everyone knew their roles
00:17and knew what they were supposed to do.
00:18They looked ready.
00:19Yeah.
00:20And I think that was one of the things that were the major concerns
00:23because Jackson Dart's personality and Scatterboot's personality,
00:26and then you got Malik Nabors coming back,
00:27and they talked a lot on the game call tonight about him physically being afraid to play.
00:34Like, I get that, but I guarantee you he didn't want y'all to keep talking about that.
00:39Like, he was that scared.
00:41Like, he got out there, so he wasn't that scared to play,
00:44and he had a massive impact in the game because once they started double-teaming him,
00:49everything underneath just opened up for them, and the Giants planned for that.
00:53So they were wildly more prepared than Dallas was,
00:58and I guess the only thing that really stuck out to me was the physicality of the Giants
01:04on both sides of the ball.
01:06Like, you know how Scatterboot runs, and unfortunately, you know how Jackson Dart runs.
01:11So he avoided the blue tent tonight, and Scatterboot, at the end,
01:15felt like they were physically breaking the wheel of the Cowboys
01:18because he just keeps hitting you, and then they got a 300-pound fullback hitting you,
01:23and then at one point in the game, they had another offensive lineman
01:27basically in motion diving down the block, too.
01:31280, 300 pounds.
01:34In the fourth quarter, in the last four or five minutes of the game,
01:37you don't want to keep hitting up against that, and it showed tonight.
01:40Again, it wasn't a blowout.
01:41No.
01:42It wasn't like the game was out of question in the last couple of minutes.
01:46But the Giants were up by two touchdowns for a while.
01:49It felt over.
01:50It felt over.
01:52And I'll say Isaiah Likely, really big catches down the stretch.
01:57He came over with John Harbaugh.
01:59Remember, he was with the Ravens for a while.
02:02They signed him to a three-year contract.
02:04And like you said, they got 81 rushing yards and a touchdown from Cam Scatterboot.
02:09Malik Nabors got them six catches for 69 yards.
02:12And it's not really about the stats.
02:13It's like when they did them.
02:14There were a lot of big third downs, right?
02:16And it was the pressure in the second half that Nabors put on the Cowboys' defense.
02:22They started doubling him.
02:24And again, like I said, when they started doubling him, everything underneath,
02:27because they didn't game plan to double him.
02:29So when they had to double him on the fly, the running back in the flat just kept coming open
02:34again, again, and again.
02:37Yeah, it was, listen, very impressive by the Giants.
02:40I mean, we'll see what happens.
02:41They play the Rams on Monday Night Football next week.
02:44This is not the same Giants team.
02:46Rams, you got to be prepared.
02:48No Miles Garrett.
02:49No Miles Garrett.
02:51He's going to have surgery.
02:51Maybe no Aaron Donald.
02:52No, no.
02:52No.
02:52No.
