00:23the division uh brendan london here alongside long time giants beat writer for the post paul
00:29schwartz back from texas with some barbecue i hope got yourself some barbecue and a w can i just not
00:38feeling the the jacket the trunner the jacket that you're wearing right now but all's well all's well
00:44arsenal hey look look i i only cover or represent first place teams okay arsenal and the giants now
00:52past few years my representation took a hit a little bit with the giants right but um look
00:59you know three two one blast off is the is the term right but four two one blast off sounds
01:05a lot
01:05better and um let's face it look we talked about it i talked about it with colleagues i talked about
01:11it
01:11with fans and family going into that texans game and it's like we were building the texans up to be
01:17the
01:17uh the 49ers here or you know they have oh man they're two and four but they won their last
01:22two
01:22games they're surging they got a terrific defense they're tough in that building all the other stuff
01:26and um they were 10 and a half point for underdogs the giants and boy they they played terrific and
01:32you know we'll we'll get into it there's you know there's there's you know don't play terrific without
01:36terrific play from your quarterback right and i don't know about you what do you will you
01:41oh i i was gonna let you i was gonna let you cook yeah i mean we could use this
01:46episode then
01:46break down the last game do a little self-analysis this bar week let's you know kind of look at
01:52who
01:52needs to step up who we feel like on the second half of the season is going to be a
01:57guy is going
01:57to turn from just a jag to a guy so but yeah let's start with the quarterback paul because you
02:02know i
02:02was saying this on the live stream last night a lot of going back and forth with a lot of
02:06people uh
02:07when it comes to jj mccarthy i liked his legs i thought they were going to use his legs a
02:12little
02:12bit he didn't run many qb design he didn't run the ball run the football at all and i felt
02:19like
02:19there was a level of comfortability there and it's because for me being behind the scenes
02:24saying what i can see on thursday i had to do a interview with malachi fields after practice 50
02:31yards walk and talk with malachi fields but we had to wait because jj mccarthy pulled both he and malik
02:38neighbors into the indoor field and these guys were running those out routes that you saw malachi
02:45high fields catch a lot of and then those corner routes those one man corner routes that you saw
02:49malik neighbors catch on the line on a rope i believe it was two minute drill the two minute
02:54drill to uh in the fourth quarter and i looked at it and i go usually as a receiver you're
03:01like week
03:01six week seven you're like man i'm just trying to save my legs i'm not trying to run any extra
03:05routes i have to practice come on trying to save my legs but you got this new quarterback that can
03:10sling it you're malik neighbors i want that football so if you pull me to the side and was
03:15like let's go get some extra work and i'm going i'm malachi fields i want a bigger role in this
03:20offense i want more targets and i saw it i saw the chemistry there i saw the communication there i
03:25saw
03:26jj mccarthy tell malik hey expect that ball on a rope if i can hold that cover to corner with
03:32my eyes
03:33i'm gonna put it right over his head and i saw it i saw it go from the field to
03:38the football field
03:39to the game action and i just felt like because of that communication and that chemistry that was
03:45being built it's been here for three weeks and everybody does this everyone goes routes on air
03:50does extra after their practice but i feel like when i watched that and i was sitting there watching
03:55i say okay this kid gets it this kid looks like he don't want to give up that qb1 title
04:00until he's
04:01forced to and we don't know how long that runs for and people are the me some media's already started
04:06that that chatter but jj mccarthy man hats off to walk in there at nrg stadium go 20 for 28
04:13get the
04:14ball spread the football out to guys and to come out with a w that's that's huge and i got
04:21to see
04:21the behind the scenes paul that was the coolest part about his performance and that offensive explosion
04:28yeah look there's no way i thought that was going to be the first start you know what i mean
04:33um and and you know i i you know i mean and it was no disrespect to jj mccarthy it's
04:38just
04:38first of all like you said we saw him you know he saw him do some gadget stuff right he'd
04:42come in
04:42and he you know he he he didn't run he he had a couple of passes they were they were
04:48recalled back
04:48by penalties um in in you know his his you know earlier when jamis was starting right came in do
04:53a
04:54little rpo hand the ball off things like that so we all we heard was like okay now we can
04:58oh use a lot
05:00of the playbook that we had with jackson dart right the running plays the rpos you're right not
05:05one designed run for him this was no gadget this was no gimmick this was a guy go play quarterback
05:12right now there's the threat of some of that rpo help in the running game late especially sure it does
05:19i think it opens things up but he didn't run the ball to show the texans they might have been
05:23expecting
05:24it but they never got it um what did we hear in minnesota right he's a fastball pitcher but
05:29he doesn't have great control right everything's 100 miles an hour with him now he does throw the
05:35ball 100 miles an hour he does one time he hit i think malik didn't catch one it's like that
05:40was a
05:40fastball remember the one on the left side that he feathered right over the defender i think it was
05:46to malik on the left sideline i think it was to malik he feathered the throw it was perfection it's
05:52like that is a big time throw and you know what i like best and john hallbar said it too
05:59well look he threw the ball down the field you know and you know malachi fields on the right
06:03side you know he throws him a pass and he breaks a tackle and it's 47 yards
06:06yeah um great great but what i liked best is what i didn't see
06:12no procedure penalties yeah no taking too long in the in in the huddle no delay of games no
06:19we got to call a timeout okay we got to get in sync here we got to figure out what's
06:23the stuff that
06:24you would expect in a guy's first start right you know no no no you you know pointing guys in
06:30motion
06:31no you the things you know he's he's confused or they don't hear the cadence or something like that
06:35um no center quarterback exchanges let's start with the most basic thing no issues with that
06:40so it was a clean game and and um yes look credit to brian callahan who was a terrific quarterbacks
06:46coach credit to matt nagy who who really how about how about that um how about that um fake
06:54qb tush push sneak handing the ball to cam for 19 yards how about that i mean that's that's a
07:00gutsy
07:00play call but and also but really kudos to mccarthy who came in 23 years old we heard we heard
07:07all
07:07about maturity issues winning the locker room all this stuff he's been incredibly friendly with the
07:13media you know he's one of that he's he's he's a midwest hey how you doing hope you have a
07:17good
07:17rest of your day that kind of thing um um you know he you know very nice very very very
07:23friendly but
07:23you know you get a little skepticals like okay i heard some things from minnesota let's see
07:27what this kid does and he obviously went to work he obviously studied very hard and um
07:33what i wrote in my column you know that day um you know on sunday was he gave giants anyone
07:40who
07:40cares about the giants he gave you permission to hope again the hope that was taken away after
07:46jackson thought he gives you permission to hope again not that definite you know not that okay this
07:51is the guy now he's going to lead us to the promised land but after that game i don't think
07:55any
07:55giant fan can say okay now i don't believe we can do it i have the hope for consistency because
08:01i
08:01don't want it to be a splash in the in the pan type thing like oh you go 20 for
08:0528 you know you
08:07don't turn the football over and then the next week let's say you come out of the bye against the
08:11eagles
08:11two interceptions fumble loss and then the offense looked like it was in disarray so
08:17my hope i love what i saw but i'm hoping for that consistency and that he can bring again continue
08:23with the explosive plays for this giants offense but there's two numbers paul that i that i am i'm
08:29so okay with when it comes to j.j mccarthy and it'll transition into us talking about the run game
08:35he took three sacks so those three sacks i felt like as a guy in his first start on the
08:42road against
08:42the texans defense that oh i'm i'm playing because i want to be the qb1 here in new york i
08:49felt like there
08:49was two of those sacks that he he took and he ate that he could have tried to do too
08:55much and got
08:56himself in trouble but he ate it and then he allowed jordan stout to come in and have a heck
09:01of
09:01a punt second number or stat that i like from j.j mccarthy one carry one yard they didn't have
09:11to
09:11manufacture the run game or get any sort of run game with the qb being a top one two or
09:18three rusher
09:18on this team so when we go into the run game scat 17 for buck 24 and a touchdown devin
09:26singletary
09:27five for 41 in the touchdown tyrone tracy jr six for 15 and one touchdown i ask you because scat
09:36was
09:36in the doghouse and he he answered he answered the call he answered the challenge do you think the run
09:43game is fixed after watching that performance no i'm not going to say fixed no but because it's one
09:50game like you said and and but again you know what else you know to be fair the run game
09:54took a while
09:55to get going you know if we did a pot um we did a a emergency podcast at halftime we
10:01wouldn't have
10:01brought up oh man the run game's back right they were 18 for 48 in the first half okay 18
10:0948 rushing
10:10yards in the first half so you know cam was averaging uh cam scatter with 3.4 yards to carry
10:16so it was not fixed at that point but they did do some changes they did oh you know they
10:21i think on
10:21the last two runs you know don't forget the last two runs produced what 72 yards i doubt you know
10:28how
10:28it is right you say you say remember in the past with the giants with the run defense man the
10:33run
10:33defense was terrific until two plays you know a 32 yarder and a 60 yarder and all of a sudden
10:39the stats are
10:39all skewed i mean all that good work so it's a little bit of that with this the last two
10:44runs went
10:45for 70 yards you know i mean that that's you know you know two carries averaging 35 yards so it's
10:50a
10:50little misleading but um yes i give all credit to cam scatterboo he he he answered the call he did
10:57not
10:58fumble um he he did not come close to fumbling you know he he got what he could uh you
11:04know and look
11:04they had two rushing touchdowns going into this game two they had four in this game and um you know
11:10interesting i didn't expect you know after a handful of plays oh james is going to come in
11:14to do a quarterback sneak on third and one you know i didn't know that you know james is not
11:19you know he's
11:20he he's he's morphed into tyson um um um some hill right it was a guy who he played with
11:26his little
11:27teammate yeah you know you know i mean that now you know when james is not that kind of a
11:31physical force
11:32but um um interesting you know keep him involved that's really good um yeah i mean the run game
11:39was was was better certainly um i don't think it's where it needs to be but um you have to
11:45credit cam
11:46you know now what did you think of the um i i can go two ways with the um personal
11:51foul for um you know
11:53after trucking the texans player getting next to four or five yards they call cam for you know um
12:00unnecessary roughness what do you think of that call i think the league is too much uh hypocrisy
12:05when it goes to these calls and what you want to be like what is your identity for the national
12:10football league do you want it to still be smash mouth guys hitting each other or do you want it
12:15to
12:15be everyone wearing guardian caps and bubble wraps and we're protecting anything and everything that
12:21comes with football literally all he did was a hit stick in madden on the offensive side i didn't look
12:28at it like he went dropped his helmet for the the crown of this helmet to go you you're searching
12:34for contact that's his type of running style so i don't i didn't look at it like he was like
12:40leading
12:40with the head trying to trying to like take this man on with just his head or this area right
12:47it was
12:47more shoulder and you're dropping so now we're at the point paul where on the defensive side let's say
12:54i'm a receiver going up across the middle now there's a gray area on how i'm going to attack
12:59and try and hit this receiver to try and get this ball out now we're seeing on the offensive side
13:05with
13:05with a call like that how am i going to run somebody over now like i'm anxious to see if
13:11this is a call
13:11that can be on a guy like derrick henry or some of these power backs that are in the league
13:16to where
13:17that's what they do they run guys over so i think the league i just need more transparency like
13:23i just wish that mr roger goodell would just sit and he had his rules committee and everyone sit
13:30and break down these plays and hey this is why it was called and this is what we want going
13:36forward
13:36because i just it's not on the same page right now and that's the frustrations because a penalty
13:43like that could be a drive stopper look i mean in real time i don't think anyone watching says oh
13:49my
13:49gosh that could be a flag you know they did not at all i'd really hide that the bar yeah
13:53yeah and
13:54and and and now look i i'm i'm torn two ways now i you know this is done to protect
14:01people so i don't
14:02want cam lowering his head you know what i mean i mean just because he is initiating the contact
14:07doesn't mean he can't come out with a stinger or something worse so i am okay you know i don't
14:12like
14:12the cam afterwards says i'm going to do the same thing over again i don't like that you have to
14:17learn
14:17if they're going to call that now this is the first time i think the season they called that on
14:21a running back but they have fined the guys this season for that what they considered lowering the
14:27helmet i agree with you it wasn't first of all it's obviously not a defenseless or defenseless
14:33player you know the guy's bracing for it um i didn't like the call but i think yes i think
14:38they
14:38need to look at it and study it and then go back to the giants and say okay this was
14:43the right call
14:44for this reason we don't want your bat we don't want your running back being a battering ram we're
14:48trying to protect his life and his career or as you said maybe they go through that and say you
14:53know
14:53what what looked like crown of the helmet was really more this area here and it probably to the
15:00letter of law shouldn't have been a penalty but um um you know it was it was it's one of
15:07those
15:07plays that was a highlight play um and um you know it wasn't just for show he got three or
15:12four
15:12extra yards out of it too at the wash party people were boring it obviously you're going to because
15:16you're you know you're a giant fan and you want to see that type of you want to see that
15:20type of
15:21contact at the end of the day it's still football you can try and protect it as much as possible
15:26football movements and football business are still football movements and football business
15:31but yeah i'm with you we need to hear something i would like john harbaugh to come out maybe later
15:36on
15:37in this week and be like i spoke with the league and they broke it down here's what i agree
15:42with
15:42here's what i don't agree with going forward i'm gonna have running backs coach willie taggart
15:47tell our backs you can do this but you can't do that so at least everyone's on the same page
15:52because
15:53just think about if it's a game later on in the season you got a chance to lock up first
15:57place a
15:58playoff uh position he goes through as a big run like that we think that that's it clock it you
16:05get
16:05called for it and then now that hurts you we've seen stranger things happen to the giants so i want
16:11everybody on page when we talk about the self-analysis part of today's blue rush paul
16:17into the bye week is there a position group is there a player players on the offensive side of the
16:25football
16:26that one you want to see more of coming out of the bye week and two you think this kid
16:32this player or
16:33this group is going to have an explosion i can't call it the second half of the season but on
16:39the
16:39second half of the bye week well i still think the offensive line there's a lot more meat on the
16:44bone there with them you know i mean now look the two tackles um are hurting you know they're hurting
16:48i mean i mean andrew thomas is really hurting i mean i wanted to you know shake his hand and
16:54say
16:55go go lay on the beach for a couple of weeks man because you yeah he's really hurting i mean
16:59he's
17:00done look like himself yeah and he's still playing well enough i mean you know i mean danielle hunter
17:05you know got the better of him sometimes but it wasn't it wasn't a jailbreak by any stretch and
17:11jermaine o'neill a jermaine illuminor you know with his calf you know he he's hurting too but
17:17you know you know you know jermaine he said well you know how do you think you played against will
17:20anderson he said well i don't think you heard his number call very much so um i think i did
17:25my job
17:25you know that that's i still you know he says i'm the best right tackle in the league and i
17:30think
17:30um the giants feel you know you know john harbour knows him from his time in baltimore that's like
17:36look if that helps him think that way to play better to play like it then fine you know he's
17:40he's a
17:41he's a pretty darn good um um pass block uh pass protector there's no question about it but that
17:47group on the interior um you know cc i thought played well this past game but i think there's you
17:52know he needs to evolve as a rookie john runyon definitely has room for growth there's no question
17:57about it you know he's maybe i don't want to call him the weak link on the on the offensive
18:02line but
18:02you know the interior of that group you know i don't think hudson has been a massive upgrade over
18:07john michael schmitz but i think he is he's probably been an upgrade at this point but i think there's
18:13still
18:13more there you know that's not a position the giants are dominating at you know but you don't always
18:17have to dominate at every position um otherwise i would say i still want more from tyron tracy you
18:22know i still think he's he's he's their first or second best running back so i want to see more
18:28from him you know he he pulled up a little bit didn't want to you know we didn't want to
18:31test his
18:32hamstring he felt it a little bit on a play so he kind of you know you know took a
18:36seat a little
18:37bit there i still want more from him darnell mooney has been really uh you know almost a zero you
18:42know there doesn't seem to be any connection with any of the of the quarterbacks and he's a guy
18:46that i think has some talent um but you know other than that look it's going to be fascinating to
18:50watch jj mccarthy on offense certainly because um um he was he was like you know i mean he gave
18:56me
18:57reason to think wow this this can be a playoff team if he plays that way without a doubt and
19:02i was going
19:02to ask you that question towards the end so hold on to that i'm asking playoff or bus or division
19:07or bus so start thinking of what you want to say from there but the player that i want to
19:11see more out
19:12of and it's not a bad thing malachi fields surprise surprise i'm gonna have to go with
19:17you know wide receiver i was watching the game with uh uh akeem nicks akeem nicks had nothing
19:23but great things to say about the new 88 for the giants and malachi field says he loves the way
19:31he
19:31catches it in the first window meaning not allowing the ball to get on this body catches it with the
19:36hands thinks of him as a playmaker when you saw him break the tackle and get up the field
19:40on that 47 yard catch run he said he didn't know he could get yak like that so this is
19:45a kid that
19:46with every single opportunity that he's getting he's showing that he can handle more he can do more
19:52in a game where isaiah likely only had two catches off of three targets he stepped up and became the
19:58wide receiver two to malik neighbors that we've been wanting we've been wanting to see so in a good
20:05way that's who i want to see more of in a more of a come on man i need to
20:12see it with darnell mooney
20:14it's darnell mooney i'm going back and forth with a fan because they're like you cut odell for him
20:21and mooney's not giving you much four targets one one catch it's that same chemistry that you saw with
20:32jamis and malik which is easy jamis and you know he got malachi fields in the touchdown got him a
20:38couple times we're not seeing that carry over with darnell mooney his biggest play so far has been
20:43the 20 yard reverse and you wonder all right okay you're the speed guy that's replacing darius slayton
20:49you know matt nagy this is your offense you had success with this play caller before what is it
20:56because i need to you are the guy you should have two or three touchdowns over 50 yards by now
21:02because this is a these are two quarterbacks that can throw the football down the field and we're not
21:07even seeing you being targeted on balls down the field so and this after this bye week if i'm in
21:15there waiting to interview somebody and jj mccarthy brings in receiver one two i need to see mooney is that
21:21third receiver in there with him to get comfortable with mccarthy because you have a quarterback where
21:28hey just run i'm gonna put it out there you saw jalen hyatt got the deep ball paul yeah jalen
21:35hyatt got
21:36the deep ball and i heard he caught it they were successful with that in practice that's why they
21:41kept that in so ladies and gentlemen we saw tape we saw the the re uh the re-emergence uh
21:51or the
21:51these other guys jalen hyatt could be the next one up let's riverside it and talk about the defense
21:58because yeah matt nagy deserves his flowers greg roman willie taggart they deserve their flowers
22:04chris horton with the special teams outside of zavada having another shaky game what he's doing with
22:10jordan stout absolutely love it denard wilson down brian burns tremaine edmonds and what i'm not gonna lie
22:19paul when i saw that javon holland was out as well i said oh man i turned it to just
22:25be competitive
22:26this game that's what i turned into just be competitive this game and the defense played
22:31very well this football game outside of the the dpis and the pencil holdings but do you feel as though
22:39denard wilson and this defense can sustain at least that level of play or can at least turn it up
22:48a bit
22:48a little bit more after the bye no it's going to be a challenge because he doesn't have you know
22:53there's certain things he just can't lean on you know he can't say we're going to get pressure with
22:57four guys because they really don't with four guys you know he doesn't want to blitz as much as he
23:02has
23:02you know i mean look it's easy to say just blitz blitz blitz you know blitz 50 60 percent of
23:06times
23:06his blitz rate this past game was not that high you know there was one play at the end uh
23:12towards the end
23:13where you know and and and cj stroud said he said look they had a good play i think it
23:17was was in
23:18um overtime with i think micah mcfadden stuffed the run for no gain or one yard and then stout has
23:25a
23:25little bit of a stat a little bit of pressure on him and he looks and says well all of
23:29a sudden the
23:29pass rushers down the field cave on here had an interception right you know and yeah you know but i
23:35mean but but strout said good play by them i didn't expect him to be there you know i mean
23:40he shouldn't
23:41be there he should be rushing me so um i think you know it has to be creative because there's
23:45just not
23:46enough you know abdul carter can't do it all by himself and he's been terrific i mean he's terrific
23:50we'll talk about him a little bit just on the end just about his leadership and things like that but
23:55um
23:55look i talked to dionte banks in the locker room after the college he talked to you paul yeah yeah
24:01no
24:01he's he's you know he's fine he doesn't have a lot to say but he's accommodating enough and i like
24:08it
24:08he's not like okay now i'm i'm feeling myself you know look you guys didn't believe in me or
24:13whatever he just doesn't want to say that much he really doesn't he is very locked in he's very
24:18appreciative for this opportunity i think he's very happy that this coaching staff believes in him
24:24he is playing i mean he i mean whatever awards i give you know he's their comeback player you know
24:31he's he's in he's one of the top five if you would top five mvps of the season he's in
24:38the top five
24:38for mvp of the giants um he's their comeback player look kudos to the coaching staff yes but it's the
24:46player you know i mean the the player can the coaching staff can can can work you and give you
24:52the drills and say we trust you and we're confident in you but the player has to do it it's
24:58not just
24:58oh now they believe in me now i'm a good player again so he clearly has turned his career around
25:04um he's going to make a lot of money if this keeps up and i have no issue with any
25:08of that
25:10he's he's good i mean he's a he's a good i mean i mean they told him during the week
25:14look you know i
25:15mean um um um newsom's not here you know adebo's coming back you know and and look that's like a
25:20new
25:20player coming back paulson adebo's a quality player if he if he puts his mind to it there's no question
25:25physically so they told dionte look nico collins is their best guy you're gonna run with him almost
25:31all game we're gonna just do it i mean he had two catches for six yards i mean it was
25:36it was it was
25:37it was terrific it was terrific and and i did not expect at the start of this year to be
25:43going on a
25:43podcast with you and talking about how dionte banks is in their top five for mvps it is it is
25:49great for
25:49the it's great for everybody it's great for joe shane and the scouts who drafted him that high
25:54it's great for the people in the building it's great for dionte banks it did this new coaching
25:59it's great for everybody it's it's it's just terrific and um you know it doesn't happen as
26:04much because maybe the player can't do it or teams just don't want to wait that long the the player
26:10in
26:10me is looking at when everyone's like what what got in the banks what got into him it's two things
26:15pride pride you you never want to be you never want to click on the tv or click on a
26:20radio series xm
26:22and whatnot and everyone's talking about oh how you're a bust you don't care everyone's calling
26:26you out you don't want to hear that that can only go for so long you can only turn the
26:30tv off for so
26:31long so one i feel like the pride two you looking at the money they gave paulson adebo and you're
26:42like
26:42that should be my check he's got twins now
26:49got twins that's my check with that two years 40 something million dollars or whatever that deal was
26:57that should be my check i'm you guys's first round pick i'm you i had the the really solid year
27:06and gave you guys a lot of hope that i can hold down an island or hold down one half
27:11of a football
27:12field during my rookie year i showed the signs now you brought in a a d coordinator and a shame
27:18bone
27:19that i wasn't feeling it and then the jerome enderson thing maybe like obviously that that d beats coach
27:25just gotta echo the sentiment or echo what the d coordinator i need more of that guy i need more
27:31of that guy so then that causes the whole disruption this is just me as a player not not saying
27:35that this
27:35happened or anything so now you're looking at the db coach like oh you just work for them you're not
27:40you're not you're not you're not listening i don't want to play off i want to put you up in
27:43a guy's face
27:44i want to be there but now this resurgence has just been unbelievable when it comes to tay banks and
27:50just quick story before we move on we can talk about abdul i did the 50 yards with tay banks
27:55uh last week
27:56you saw the giants only cut the first 10 to 15 yards because paul they said i had him talking
28:04too much
28:06they said they wanted it to be they're like brand it's 50 yards we wanted quick questions like quick
28:11and he was talking too much to where they cut half the piece tay bank this is this is the
28:18reinvention
28:18or this is this is a new tape same tape banks but just a newer version tb 2.0 because
28:24this has been
28:25fun to watch um i asked you the same question earlier about the offense who do you want to see
28:30step up so good good step up bad step up and who do you want to who do you think
28:35is going to have
28:36their breakout on the other half of this bye week and you kind of mentioned abdul carter a little bit
28:41earlier yeah well look i mean he he's he's you know without new age metrics you know what i mean
28:50abdul
28:50carter's numbers are not are not impressive you know what i mean sacks and tackles and things like that
28:57but if you if you watch the game you see what the impact he's making you definitely see it you
29:01know
29:01look john harper said at halftime abdul carter came in and said empty the tank you know we have
29:07to empty the tank you know when we come back in here win or lose make sure you got nothing
29:13left
29:13you know what i mean um and so he is becoming a vocal leader um he's a really good player
29:19i think
29:20there's more for him you know i think some of this production could could you know some of this
29:24pressure and and he's you know you want to protect them by not playing him every snap but you know
29:30then burns went down and the guy does not get tired i don't think i mean it's hard to you
29:34know i mean
29:35so so that i'm i'm really you know interested in watching he's a fun guy to watch develop the player
29:41there's no question and um and um you know so that would be my guy you know and the interior
29:46guys
29:46you know i want them to you know reader's been terrific uh if darius alexander can maybe emerge a
29:51little bit you know the defensive backs are playing fine i mean they're they're they're good
29:55and they've got some depth here's the key they have depth tremaine edmonds is a big hit he's a big
30:01hit but micah mcfadden came in and played extremely well right cavon comes off the bench now to play
30:08for burns he's not brian burns but he's a bonafide nfl player who does things that can help you win
30:14maybe not make you win but help you win you know adebo was benched right you know they he's a
30:20backup you
30:21you're the most money but you didn't do it in training camp so you're not going to start and
30:25then he gets hurt and he's on ir it's easy to say yeah he's a waste he's not you know
30:29now he comes
30:30back he'll play believe me they'll find places for him to play you know you can never have too many
30:35so um depth is very important and and now they can't get you know at some point the depth runs
30:40out
30:40but um this depth with mcfadden and you know jason pinock jason you said when holland was out you're
30:46like oh boy pinock is a player he can play who's an enfield player you can play before they let
30:51him
30:51walk yeah so that that's good that's good you can't you know you need players on your bench who
30:57can play who you and and if they don't like being on the bench then so be it you know
31:01play great and
31:02you'll get your opportunity very rare when a guy does not get his opportunity my god i want to see
31:08more of paulson adebo you call it paulson adebo because this right here this back in this back
31:14stretch whether it's going to be here it could be somewhere else this is where you keep that money
31:19this is where you keep that check that what you were just blessed with that two-year deal joe shane
31:24gave you you can keep it and i feel as though because they are so that's funny like we we
31:31were
31:31saying this now they're deep in the secondary which the secondary had the biggest question mark on it
31:38going into the spring into the summer they're now i feel as though paulson adebo could be able
31:46to be a guy to now they take out a tyler newbin or a safety and put him in there
31:53to cover a bigger
31:55tight end or or athletic tight end when you get to the 49ers and the greg kiddos you get to
32:01the lions
32:01and sam laportas i think that you can now put paulson adebo a bigger body corner and be up on
32:08on on a tight end denar wilson is going to find a way to not so much save hit his
32:13career but to get
32:14the most out of paulson adebo and i feel like this back end is it's up for you bro like
32:21it's it's here
32:21you could be that next guy that's going to step in save face here in in in new york and
32:29then whatever
32:29happens happens but it's that's why when you talk about uh abdul carter when you say abdul carter
32:38and the leadership and and stepping up telling hardball he'll empty the tank do you see what
32:44winning does do you see what believing in the the operation not just the coaching stuff just the
32:50operation that from donna ponte ponte to joe shane to the head coach your locker room you believe
32:58in the operation and they say winning can cure all and whatnot no it's hard to go in and step
33:05in that
33:06building which you're already in that facility more than you are more than you are your own house or
33:12apartment you're around your your your teammates your teammate family more than you around your
33:17own family and y'all are losing i don't want to play ping pong with you you just you jumped
33:22all sides
33:23that gave us the freaking game i don't want to be around you so that can get to you just
33:27think about
33:27doing the podcast over the years we're like what are we going to talk about today they got beat by
33:33the 49ers took over the facility or brennan i'm tired of talking about shadora sanders in september
33:41and the draft's not till april it just does that much more for everybody and now you've got a locker
33:50room that they're all in they believe they believe in the man the the fisher of men and the men
33:55that he
33:56put around that coaching staff to put around and to help get the most out of each one of these
34:01players and you can see it next man up means something completely different this year than
34:05what it's meant in the past because of the death and because we believe in our leader uh finish this
34:11out paul what's scheduled for the rest of the week what do you have coming out in the in the
34:15paper this
34:16week tell us let's give us the goods give us the goods all right now locker room uh look the
34:21players
34:22are in on tuesday and then they're done for you know wednesday thursday friday saturday sunday they're
34:25off you know go take a break so uh some locker room stuff today and uh joe shane speaks today
34:30always
34:30speaks at the bye comes early right so you get joe shane coming off a win in first place i
34:35don't think
34:36you know so he'll it'll be a little the inquisition will be a little different this year than in other
34:40years and um look i'll leave you with this um how about john harbaugh after the game he was so
34:45excited after that game for a giants head coach to say this right we're going to be in this thing
34:50to the end now you know that's a bold thing to say you know i'm we're going to be in
34:55this thing to
34:55the end now right and so um yeah the that's the expectations oh i thought the giants would win eight
35:01or nine games and they'd miss out on the playoffs so if that happens that's fine no no you reassess
35:07they're four two and one they're in first place the division is not good i think the cowboys
35:12are the are the by far the biggest threat in the division is the cowboys the giants have beaten
35:17them once um giants will go into the bye in first place the cowboys you know took off took care
35:22of
35:22the eagles so they'll see the cowboys in dallas later in the year but no this is now a heightened
35:27expectation with this quarterback who looks good with this coach who is a winner um with enough players
35:34you know they can't afford a lot of serious injuries here they lord knows they've had enough but
35:38um we're going to be in it to the end look halloween's coming they're they're in first place
35:43um thanksgiving's coming thanksgiving's coming they're going to be close they're going to be in
35:48it and and you know and and so it's going to be a it's going to be a really fun
35:52ride look that we're
35:53going to come on some of these podcasts and it's going to be a terrible loss and we're going to
35:57oh man
35:57we're going to you know there's going to be a terrible loss here because there always is there always
36:01is i i would leave you with this the next week after they come off the bye will determine the
36:06season
