00:06two division games in five days but the Giants handle business down in Philly in the city of
00:12brotherly love at the link whatever you want to call it they go to five two and one on the
00:17season
00:17what's going on everybody Brandon London here alongside longtime Giants beat writer for the
00:22post Paul Schwartz this is your blue rush post game after further review whatever it is you
00:29want to call it you've heard from your content creators media people but you haven't heard from
00:34us just yet Paul just got off the zoom call with John Harbaugh so first and foremost what's going
00:41on Paul another victory Monday for blue rush we'll take these anytime we can get them uh thoughts on
00:48the game and then thoughts on you know John Harbaugh's media availability today which is Monday
00:53yeah it's amazing they have five wins already Brandon right and um last year they had what
00:59four four yeah before they had three so we're we're and you know I'm not I don't feel like I'm
01:04covering this great team or anything like that but it's certainly a winning team and it's just amazing
01:08that you win a game and it's like yeah that didn't look great well that wasn't dominate you know that
01:13wasn't a dominant performance but it's like they won and they're in first place it's so different to
01:18what we've uh what we've seen in the past uh good news you know Giants fans will be happy to
01:22hear this
01:23uh look JJ McCarthy took a big hit I don't know who was a hip pointer whatever it was you
01:27got to
01:27come off the field right he tried to throw and then crumble to the ground I mean that looked rough
01:32you know I mean that looked like oh my gosh the Giants lost the second quarterback for the season
01:36here he was able to return still looked in pain uh was able to run for 11 yards and looked
01:41you know
01:42okay doing it but was hobbled around out there John Harbaugh said Monday that um um you know after
01:49further review looking at what he thinks about JJ he thinks you should be fine does he said I don't
01:53want to get over my skis but he thinks you should be able to play Thursday you know for a
01:57Sunday game
01:58you got some time to heal up for a Thursday game you have very little time to heal up but
02:02he said he
02:03should be good for Thursday and uh maybe more not importantly but more interestingly is that um John
02:09Harbaugh said uh Cam Scatterable should be full go Thursday night he said he was close to playing
02:15in Philly close you know don't forget they listed him as doubtful I didn't think he would play they
02:20didn't activate him but he said he was close he said he could have played but he would have been
02:25limited in some things in Philly and they just the risk wasn't worth it so he says he should be
02:31fine
02:32to go and look the running game was not good in Philly and so having Cam Scatterable back you know
02:38Tyrone Tracy still on IR but Tyrone Tracy is their best running back available and if he is available
02:44that's good news for the Giants well well let's stay right there when it comes to this run game
02:48because I feel like that was a major factor in why the Giants offense I'm not going to say struggle
02:54but didn't explode like we've seen and at the second half of that Texans game we didn't see any of
02:59those
02:59big runs we didn't see any of those explosive runs and I did the watch party yesterday at Basque 46
03:05in Willem Park New Jersey thanks for having us and Brandon Jacobs fittingly was the Giants legend who was
03:11on board uh that day and we watched the game and he called Motor Singletary a capable back and a
03:17really good back but never did he say he was a home run hitter never did he say any of
03:23the three
03:24and Cam Scatterable Tyrone Tracy Jr. was that running back that a John Harbaugh would want that would
03:30need he thinks they're all capable thinks they can handle the workload but watching that Paul knowing
03:37you're down to the third quarterback that you've used in this season knowing that Jackson Dart your
03:44guy that you built this entire offense kind of around isn't there and having a run game that
03:53struggles and doesn't have big play ability it's worked so far and it's gotten them to this situation
04:01to this point right now five two and one everybody's like you can't switch this up you can't switch that
04:07up there has to be an explosive back in that backfield or upgrade I don't say upgrade the
04:17offensive line do different things within that offensive line because this is your identity and
04:24you're going to continue not so much struggle in games in the NFL it's always go comes down to a
04:30one
04:30possession game but the offense is not going to look like what you drew it up what you want it
04:37to be
04:38in what you expect it to be unless they get more consistent in the run game and I guess let's
04:45get
04:45your thoughts because they're like I want what do you overall if you could grade the Giants run game
04:52yesterday what would you give that um I guess a d not an f because they didn't turn the ball
04:59over I
05:00guess look I mean a motor singletary had 21 rushing attempts and at 31 yards I mean that's you know
05:05that's
05:05barely moving forward um you know what I kind of like Greg you know I kind of like Greg DeRussier
05:11I
05:11mean he he had three carries um I'd like you to applaud me for saying that name so nicely yeah
05:17yep um um you know had a little zip um if you noticed yesterday Brandon the Giants wanted to
05:25attack the perimeter of the Eagles defense they thought they were very susceptible we saw more pitch
05:31outs right they weren't going to run it inside with Jalen Carter and things like that they wanted
05:35to attack the perimeter and it really didn't work you know I mean JJ McCarthy got out an 11 yard
05:42run
05:42but it really didn't work they tried a uh end around to Mooney didn't work um so you know the
05:47pitch
05:48outs the motor just didn't work they just didn't work um so um do they need better running backs well
05:54if they can I mean look Jonathan Taylor is the elephant in the room I mean Jonathan Taylor would would
06:00is is is
06:00is light years better than anybody the Giants have right now um you know the Giants offer of a
06:05second round pick next year and a fifth round pick in 2028 was a good offer but not a great
06:12offer you
06:12know was that an offer would you say that made the Giants bleed oh my gosh you know no look
06:18you don't
06:18want to give up a second round pick you don't want to give up a second round pick um for
06:22a running back
06:22but look the Giants second round picks it was since I've been covering the team Michael Strahan
06:27Hall of Famer OCU Minora one of the best players they've ever had Tiki Barber their leading rusher
06:32in history Amani Tuma their leading receiver in history I mean some of those guys are great
06:36the second round picks have also been John Michael Schmitz benched Tyler Newman and you know um
06:44Aziz Oshillari yeah so you know what I mean so I mean I mean if you if you're getting the
06:49next Tiki
06:50Barber or OCU Minora oh my god we can't give up the second round pick you know you always want
06:55to
06:55think it's going to be one of those guys so we also have to remember this the Giants are winning
06:59games that second round pick um Colton Hood was 37th last year right that second round pick next
07:09year might be 47th it's a different pick it's a different pick which means the Giants will not
07:16salivate over keeping it as much and other teams may not want it as much right you know you want
07:22the
07:22Titans pick he wants the Jets pick because they're going to be top of the table the the Giants pick
07:29are going to be mid-level maybe in the 20s so not as good a pick so Jonathan Taylor let's
07:34say that
07:35doesn't happen I don't think it'll happen you know the the um the Titans said we're not trading
07:38Tony Pollard you just don't get a guy to get a guy Tyrone Tracy will be back after three more
07:43games
07:44right I've kept on banging the drums for Tyrone Tracy that he needs to be their home run hitter
07:49he's not a a zip you know make you miss home run hitter but he's the best they have Cam
07:56Scadaboo
07:56was coming off his best game 117 yards in Houston he's capable I don't think he's great but he's
08:02certainly capable you know Motor Singletary's a third down back you know he was overexposed
08:08yesterday and I like I said I maybe this the WCA has a little something so um I think they
08:13need a
08:13defensive tackle more than they need a running back but John Halbaugh on Monday was singing the
08:20praises of Bobby um um Jamison Taylor you know um was saying how um uh well no what was he
08:27about
08:27Bobby Harris no no he was singing the praises of Bobby Jamison Travis okay Bobby okay I was thinking
08:33of Jonathan Taylor he was saying he's getting better and that's why I run defense is getting a little
08:37better DJ Reader's been great so um I don't think the Giants are in absolute desperation mode I really
08:43don't and I don't think they're gonna go you know uh um hell's bells to just we have to make
08:49a trade
08:50will they make one maybe will they not make one maybe um but yeah the running back situation is not
08:55great but it's better than what it was yesterday in Philadelphia is what I'm saying and that's
09:01interesting you brought up Bobby Jamison Travis uh we'll talk about the defense in a little bit
09:05but it's just while it's fresh from my brain I did a live stream with him I did an interview
09:10with
09:10him when they drafted him uh in the fifth round and I asked him why did the Giants draft you
09:15what's
09:16your skill set that you're bringing he goes man I stopped the run they know what they're getting
09:20I stopped the run and throughout the course of the season you see that light click on for different
09:25rookies it clicks so Arville Reese it clicked on day one like it clicked on a long time ago but
09:29Bobby
09:30Jamison Travis now it seems as though if you got the head coach kind of kind of kind of shotting
09:34you
09:34out to the media now he's letting the media know hey this is keep an eye out on this guy
09:40now because
09:40if we don't trade for some big name and we don't give up all this draft capital it's because we
09:48believe in the guy that we drafted and developing him he talked about getting a tremendous or the
09:55best coaches out there on his uh in his introductory press conference and that's not just coaching guys
10:01when it comes to the x's and o's it's about developing talent and that he thinks that he
10:05has something in that fifth round pick uh really quick because I asked Brendan Jacobs as well about
10:11do you trade for uh uh I almost said Dexter Henry our colleague at the post do you trade for
10:17Derrick
10:18Henry do you trade for the Jonathan Taylor and he goes no because you're getting Tracy back you're
10:23getting scam back motor is capable he goes what what does that do to the chemistry in that room like
10:30you don't want guys to be like oh you went out and and you went out and got this guy
10:34because you
10:35don't think that we can handle the workload and I kind of push back on that a little bit Paul
10:39because
10:41when motor singletary ran and scored on that game winner in overtime down in Houston you saw all three
10:47of the backs come together and they hugged at that that shot on the broadcast that means they've heard
10:53the noise that means that your head coach is there's been people been on eviction notices we saw an
11:00eviction with Najee Harris so they know it's not about the chemistry and all if a John Harbaugh who's
11:08had tremendous running backs throughout the course of his career as a head coach if John Harbaugh's like
11:13I need to go get a guy then if I'm in that running back room I don't take that as
11:18a slight at me or a
11:19knock at me I know this head coach to where I've bought in already I know he knows which pieces
11:26he
11:26needs in this chess match to get the most out of me the guy next to me and this entire
11:32run and this
11:32all and this offense Brandon let me see what is this right do you have thin skin or not thin
11:38skin
11:39right I mean it's it's just the way it is right there you bring Jonathan Taylor into onto your team
11:43if you think you know you say what does it say to the running back room what does it say
11:47to the
11:47entire locker room we are invested in bringing great players to become a great team look I get
11:54Brandon Jacobs I get it he was a fourth round pick who did he win Super Bowls with he was
12:00a fourth round
12:00pick Ahmad Brancho was a seventh round pick Derek Ward was a seventh round pick of another team so they
12:10were not you know they were not Rolls Royces you know they they were the they were the trucks right
12:15yeah truckers who who came in with those big wheels and ran you over I get what Brandon Jacobs mindset
12:21is
12:22you know we got enough in this room you know you know a DJ reader said yesterday about about the
12:28um
12:28the trade deadline he said if they want to bring I trust Harbs and Joe Shane if they want to
12:33bring
12:33someone in who can help us I'll welcome them in and let's go if they don't then I feel we
12:39have
12:39enough in this room with what we have and that's fine I mean is is Tyrone Tracy and Cam Scadaboo
12:47and
12:47and Motor Singletary look at and say we offered a second and a a fifth round pick to Jonathan Taylor
12:53that's terrible well yeah for you it's not good because it's gonna you know it's gonna reflect on
13:00your livelihood but for the team you bring in great players no one can say a word and that's all
13:05it is I
13:05don't think it'll happen but um you want to at least be in the game with these guys right you
13:10know you want to be oh no they can't get this guy they they won't get this guy they don't
13:13want to
13:14make this move they should be in on everybody they can and then they figure out if they want to
13:18do it
13:18or not and that bringing in that running back or now getting some consistent greatness out of the
13:27running back room is going to make the offense look better it's going to make the offense click
13:32and now we're not going to have to worry about and I'm a big Greg Olson fan when it comes
13:38to his
13:38broadcast and all but calling out Malik Neighbors I when I saw that and I'm going back and forth with
13:45a bunch of Giants fans in our D and in the DMs and all this morning because it's like people
13:51have
13:51turned on Malik Neighbors call it I'm tired of Devo wide receiver xy all that other stuff but then you
13:58hear what Malik Neighbors told you guys after the game and he's saying how I gotta speak up I gotta
14:06get this offense going it's not just about oh I'm mad at a quarterback or I'm mad about how we're
14:11not
14:12living up to our expectations we're not firing on all cylinders so I was a little bit upset with Greg
14:19Olson on that one because I feel like we got a job you know I call I do I do
14:23broadcast games for
14:24Stony Brook and all but I'm not all Stony Brook when I'm talking like we have a job to present
14:28both sides of it you're Greg Olson you play with with Steve Smith you played with Cam Cam Newton some
14:35of the most passionate players vocal players out there you should know the difference between when
14:42a player is upset and he's sulking and he's a he's a me guy or I guy versus I don't
14:49like the way this
14:50thing looks right now I'm upset with it my face is gonna have it my face I'm gonna have RBF
14:56of those
14:56who knows what RBF is I'm not I'm I don't like it so diva behavior and you want your wide
15:05receiver the
15:06one to want the ball and all that it's just too much sometimes Paul well first of all you're a
15:10wide
15:10receiver so I mean you're gonna always you know you don't think first of all we can say resting
15:14bitch face on the podcast okay okay and Malik Neighbors has joked about that in the past with us yes
15:20yeah you know he says people why do you have that he goes well do I well maybe I do
15:24he's joked about
15:25look and John Harbaugh has never said when we've asked him several times about Malik Neighbors he
15:30just talked today on Monday about body language and he said yeah body language is interesting you know
15:35he has never said Malik is perfect and I like everything he does on and off the field he's never
15:40said that I think Harbaugh realizes that sometimes Neighbors can get a little in his head and a little
15:45a little frustrated and a little you know and and is there is there a tinge of selfishness there
15:53maybe a tinge I think you have to be you you need a little tinge of selfishness but but you
15:59know what
15:59they said and I like Greg Olson I agree with you I like him I think he's really sharp and
16:03really smart
16:03they said on the broadcast that that when Isaiah likely scores a touchdown you need to look as happy
16:10for him as you do when you score a touchdown right what did they imply there that Malik Neighbors was
16:15not happy as he should have been with the touchdown that's a really strong point did they show it
16:23if you say that they're doing the game show it show Malik Neighbors with your resting bitch face or
16:31they never showed that they never showed an example of why he wasn't as excited for the touchdown
16:38look this is what Malik Neighbors is we've talked about this a lot is he the perfect
16:45modern day athlete who reacts to everything perfectly no he doesn't he's intense he gets in
16:53his head he he is frustrated he you know he does things you know gyrations or looks upset
17:01okay would I like him to tone some of the stuff down yeah but that doesn't mean he's selfish or
17:07a
17:07cancer or not a good teammate you know he that's that just means that he is who he is and
17:13some of
17:14that greatness you know you have to take some of that I don't think if everyone was the same it
17:19would
17:19be really boring right if everyone was Andrew Thomas it would be unbelievably boring right and if
17:25everybody was Malik Neighbors and Cam Scadaboo it would be really really wild it's not it's a collection
17:34it's a collection of yin and yang so yeah I think they had an agenda going in there that we
17:39we you
17:39know we do a pre-taped interview with and we talk to Malik and these problems and now if something
17:45happens in the game and he gets all hot and bothered we can talk about that narrative it's
17:49almost like hello where have you been you know this might be your first time doing the Giants but
17:55this is Malik Neighbors this is who he is you know what I mean you're not telling us anything new
17:59here
18:00and that's one of the biggest things I love being around the team as more this year Paul because I
18:05get to see the behind the scenes like last year we were talking about when we had to talk about
18:10the
18:10reports and all this stuff of dual carters sleep in missing meetings or xyz I like you feel like
18:16you're on the outside looking in and you're just okay okay look at the report you hear everybody get
18:21all mad and but then when you go and you talk to people in house and you realize okay this
18:27wasn't
18:28such a thing x wasn't as big as to get blown out of proportion to be I get to see
18:33Malik Neighbors
18:33now I see the work ethic behind the scenes I see the leadership I see the way that his his
18:38teammates
18:39whether it be offense or defense I see the way they they gravitate around this dude this guy's got it
18:45he's got that aura he is just a different type of leader and so the same way you said that
18:50there's
18:50different types of personalities because we don't want the same personality there are different types of
18:56leaders out there and he's a guy that's going to wear it all on this sleeve and I don't need
19:02I
19:02don't want Giants fans to get in some sort of panic mode because Greg Olson said something on a broadcast
19:08when you've had Plaxico Burris you've had uh uh OBJ you've had a plethora of the diva receivers
19:16what they produced at a high level that's the thing about playing receiver you say we got to be
19:22somewhat selfish we do it's the only position on the field to where our success is determined by
19:30other people doing their job I could be wide open but if the offensive line didn't block
19:35quarterbacks getting sacked I could be wide open if quarterback got a noodle for an arm can't get
19:40the ball out there that's an incomplete DC one of them DB's doing that seat belt thing because he
19:45thinks he locked you up when he was burnt you have to have you got to be crazy to play
19:50wide receiver
19:50because that frustration that he has whether it be get me the ball or not if he's frustrated about
19:58not getting the ball because he that means he has the confidence in his ability to where you get me
20:03this rock I'm gonna make it all I'm gonna make it all right and that's what you went and you
20:08drafted
20:09that kid for that's why you allowed him to unretire a jersey that was already in the ring of honor
20:15for
20:15because you want those games where he has 20 targets 10 catches 100 something yards we were
20:22just praising him for four he went on a four game span of like a buck 28 average and x
20:28amount of
20:29touchdown so I'm with you on that one Greg Olson again interviewed him on radio row at the Super Bowls
20:35and stuff it just threw me off right there because again you've played with the Steve Smiths and
20:41passionate guys before I thought that he would be like hey this is bad body language this doesn't
20:47look good but educate the viewers at home to the sense where we may not be that big of a
20:53deal to
20:53his teammates and to his coaches because they know how this guy is now one thing Colson did not say
21:00did not call name was a bad teammate that was a bad aggregation now you saw what he said he
21:06said a lot of
21:07stuff he like led us to water and then let us drink you know about the body length but he
21:12never
21:12used it said bad teammate but he said you know guys can be this and that I mean he we
21:18know what
21:18he was trying to say there then he's you know and then Malik said he catches that ball in the
21:22end zone
21:2310 out of 10 times well obviously not because he didn't catch it but we know that you expect him
21:28to
21:28make that catch you absolutely it wasn't an easy catch but it wasn't it was a catch we expect
21:32Malik neighbors to make um and you know you say well if you you have to make that catch if
21:37you're
21:37going to do the things that Malik neighbors does yeah I mean you're not allowed to show frustration
21:44if the quarterback misses you or or if if you know he underthrows you or or yeah I don't know
21:51it's just
21:51it's a big boy league you know what I mean now if you really show the guy up it's a
21:55problem and I
21:56have no problem with a quarterback going to the sideline and saying to you Brandon or another one of your
22:02wide receiver guys look I missed you on that but if you do that if you wave your hands on
22:08a field
22:08again we're gonna have a problem okay don't wave right and do you think that's unfair for a quarterback
22:15to say that no not at all I'm frustrated I'm frustrated I missed you too but if you wave your
22:20hands in disgust on the field we have a problem I don't think Malik Malik neighbors is frustrated
22:27with everything he thinks they should be you know he said we came out it's against a division
22:31opponent we gotta you know we gotta go we gotta hit the jugular we gotta destroy these guys now
22:36he has to understand sometimes it doesn't work that way you know what I mean it doesn't you know
22:40the Eagles were gonna play a good defensive game I thought they're just the way it is but he's
22:44frustrated you know he wants to dominate he wants them all to dominate that doesn't mean he's a bad
22:48teammate last last storyline that we can talk about as we get ready for a quick turnaround
22:55with the commanders coming into town on Thursday I mean is I feel like it's a unanimous decision
23:04right now from players fans anyone watching Giants football that this kid Arvel Reese has already won
23:13defensive rookie of the year but like Greg Newsom said he may win defensive player of the year if he
23:21continues to play he continues to play the way that he he is playing Paul you've covered this team
23:26for a long time I guess this is going to be a loaded question for you so get ready have
23:31you ever seen
23:32a rookie come in and dominate as fast as he's been able to do have you ever seen a rookie
23:41step in and be
23:43top five of his position in the NFL as fast as he's been able to do early guess would you
23:54call Arvel
23:55Reese a future hall of famer no question there have fun with you you got me you got me going
24:02but then
24:03you went too far okay look here's the thing look Michael I was not covering the Giants when Michael
24:08was a rookie he was not he was yeah he was not this kind of player OC human was not
24:12OC human your
24:14was not close to this as a rookie Justin Tuckman not close to this JPP was good not close to
24:19this
24:19his second year he went off um there's no there's no rookie on defense that I have covered in over
24:2630
24:27years that has made this impact none none I mean and and and I thought he'd be good watching him
24:33in
24:33West Virginia but I did not think this I did not I mean why could you why would you think
24:38he's going
24:39yeah this good you know I mean no and he had a little you know he had some growing pains
24:44you know
24:45inside you know now Tremaine Edmonds is gone he's got he's really fortunate he's got Michael McFadden
24:49he doesn't have to bring along a rookie he's got Michael McFadden who's got more experience than him
24:54who's a terrific player in his own right so they don't really lose anything there um they lose some depth
24:59but they don't lose anything there um and and you've covered you talk to Arvel you know I describe
25:06it as he's the most violent aggressive hard-hitting guy on the field who is who is has no ounce
25:15of any
25:16of that off the field he's the most approachable good-natured calm I call him pleasant he's no no
25:25look like you know you know OC could be was pleasant and tuck was pleasant but Arvel almost
25:31has a pleasant serenity to him he kind of smiles and he he never praises himself you know I mean
25:39he was talking about I mean that was one hellacious sack on Joe Milton what did next gen stats said
25:44it
25:45was the fastest stat sack in the league this year I mean you know kudos to Joe Milton for getting
25:50up
25:51yeah you know and Arvel said you know he said well I'm coming in on the blitz and I the
25:56back's got
25:57to take me and then I see the back vacate I'm like Arvel just goes I said okay okay like
26:03what am I
26:04thinking here okay then he hits him and and and you know what else was great about that play after
26:09he
26:09I mean he destroys them right and if you watch Arvel gets up he does not celebrate he knew the
26:15ball
26:15was gone he immediately looked for the ball he immediately looked to say okay now man he'd he
26:22didn't barely even celebrate I forget which teammate come over and he kind of you know helmet butted you
26:26know no sack dance no look at me no bang in my chest no nothing just yeah I good hit
26:32good hit next
26:33one one of three that he got um you know I mean Harbaugh said that you know when he and
26:39Joe Shane when he
26:40was on the board for them they had him as the best player in the draft he said we were
26:43giddy
26:43you know and that's not a word those guys like to use much giddy you know we were giddy in
26:47the
26:47draft room it's like a little kid's word you know they could get him and they got him and um
26:53no he's
26:53he's he's very special uh you know I very rarely I talk to reader about him I talk to Newsome
26:59about
26:59him um Abdul Carter who else um um um I you know a bunch of defensive a bunch of players
27:06about him and
27:07they don't usually speak this way about a rookie they don't they don't speak that way about a rookie
27:12only very special players so he is a special player right now and um look more power to the
27:19Giants it's fun watching him every week it's fun watching him play this was a new wrinkle right he
27:25was has not been a a mainstream pass rusher you know he's isolated here and there but this was
27:32you know that was something then that that's um yeah it's fun it's fun and I'm not hall of fame
27:39I'm not
27:39going there yet but um um yeah he's he's he's he's terrific the only reason I threw that hall of
27:45fame thing out there I think he's a for sure hall of famer but now I take that back because
27:50I thought
27:50the same thing about OBJ and then the injuries kind of derailed that so I'll I walk that back but
27:57talent
27:58wise I think it's all there and just my my buddy you know I go to Germany you met my
28:02friend Brendan
28:02Collier out of there from PPI uh he has a he had a player play with Arvell at Ohio State
28:08uh Hero
28:08Canoe who's now at Texas now um and this one Arvell was it was an edge rusher because they were
28:14so loaded
28:15at at linebacker he say Hero would call him and be like man you gotta keep an eye on this
28:22freshman bro
28:23stronger than everybody throwing throwing linemen around he's only like 220 he was like this is going to
28:30be the key he's next he's the next one so when they moved him back and he started playing linebacker
28:36everybody at Ohio State knew this kid was going to step in and and just be great and we're doing
28:42the
28:42shoots a little behind the scenes because you know it's white out there's going to be the white out
28:46game this Thursday everyone make sure you wear white uh at MetLife this Thursday and we're doing
28:51the behind the scenes shoot last uh Thursday I believe I believe it was Thursday I was in in the
28:55facility we're trying to get him do like the hype stuff for the video board nope he is not that's
29:02not his thing he is not a high did he not do it or did he not was he not
29:06good at it it wasn't good
29:08like his attempts to it which it was it's not natural that's not him he is what what did Tyrone
29:14Tracy call him in uh training camp see ball get ball that is who we that kid is good kid
29:20funny when
29:21you talk to him behind the scenes and stuff when he you know he's not ready he's if he's not
29:26going
29:26to tackle you he'll be cool with you and all but that kid man he steps in he gets it
29:31he gets it and
29:32I know a lot of people are going to be like oh you should market yourself more do more for
29:36what for
29:37what there's other people that can do that you don't need to be the face of the Giants you just
29:41go
29:41play football just go play football you and you can keep doing it the way you're doing it you're going
29:46to be in the ring of honor you may be wearing a gold jacket one day but he is he's
29:50running this
29:51defense and I thought the defense that had seven sacks yesterday I think this defense continues to
29:57get better obviously the Eagles are down but Denard Wilson I feel as though has done a good job
30:05holding it all together down secondary at the beginning remember a bunch of guys are banged up
30:11in the secondary now you lose Tremaine Edmonds I think I just just overall team part I'm gonna
30:16throw it to you now so you can kind of just give us that final thought but I get we
30:21say it all the
30:22time it just it just feels different and Brandon Jacobs was even saying yesterday he's like bro I'm not
30:28even gonna lie I've been waiting for it to collapse like I'm like when is this gonna collapse but he
30:33was
30:33like through the bottom of my heart it feels different this year so 5-2-1 got a chance to
30:41go
30:416-2-1 get a comfortable lead in the division they can beat the commanders and then only have two
30:47division games left at the end of the season short week Paul go ahead finish this off because a lot
30:53of you got a lot of fans a lot of fans too at these watch parties man too bad you
30:57go to the games because
30:58we got to get you at a watch party or at least with the tailgate but go ahead and finish
31:02this off
31:03because because you're you're popular popular Paul is what I'm gonna start calling it yeah yeah we'll see
31:07but I don't know all my comments on social media I don't know how popular Paul I am but you
31:11know
31:11what you talk to the bosses and say we got to get Paul out of the watch party you know
31:15and don't
31:16have him write one of these games see how that goes over if you get a yes I'll go do
31:20it okay look
31:21there will be tougher assignments right they got to go to Seattle they play Jacksonville they go to
31:26Detroit you know I'm not saying the Giants are ready to ready to take on the heavyweight division
31:31here I'm not but it doesn't matter why do I have to say that right now you know what I
31:34mean they
31:36they they they're a first place team they should finish in first place that's the way I look at it
31:41you know what I love you talk about a different Giants team how about this real quick how about the
31:44last play right you know Joe Milton can throw it 80 yards oh no we got it we're gonna sit
31:49back we're
31:49gonna sit back we're gonna you know we we gotta we gotta cover our asses back here and everything
31:53screw that we're sending everybody at him he's gonna get rid of the ball and you know what if he
31:58completes a 10-yard pass and they run through us for 40 50 yards for a touchdown I'll take it
32:03you know
32:04Denard Wilson's like I'm not having that guy sit back there and throw launch the ball in the end
32:08zone you know so that you know take it it's coaching the coaching is really good John Harbaugh said I'm
32:15not bringing in another kicker I trust Dominic Zavada who was great and then wasn't great and missed a
32:22bunch of kicks you got to have a sense was that the right thing to do what was bringing a
32:26kicker the
32:27right thing to do to motivate this kid sometimes that is you know I'm gonna wait he goes four for
32:32four
32:32they don't win win win the game at Adam without him so the coaching is top notch there's no question
32:38about it the coaching is top notch now you know J.J. McCarthy's giving him something uh Arvell you
32:44know it it's all very it's coalescing very nicely and um you know they're all big games but you know
32:50they can really put a hammer lock on the division if they win Thursday night you know what I mean
32:55and
32:56you know Jaden Daniels is a good player they tied the first time I don't think they're an easy team
33:00to
33:00beat if they can win this game Thursday night they put a hammer lock on a division and then it's
33:04on
33:04to bigger and better things so um you know what a time to be a giant fan right no question
33:09what a time
33:09because you got whiteout night Thursday night Thursday night football on prime everything you
33:14want everything you want right here I don't think anybody watching this show us two included we're
