00:05no season goes faster than an NFL season it is already week five Giants getting ready to play
00:10the commanders in Landover Maryland Giants at three and one commanders at one in three let's
00:17go over some of the keys to the game as I see them number one I think the Giants need
00:21to run
00:22the ball better it's as simple as that last week Najee Harris had the longest run for the Giants
00:27nine yards Cam Skadaboo his longest run eight yards it just really is not good enough at this
00:33point they don't have that game breaker that's just the way it is but they're going to need to
00:37run the ball better it could be very sloppy conditions what is it Hurricane Isaias I guess
00:43is coming up through the Gulf and it's going to not hit like a hurricane in the Washington DC area
00:49but there is a 100% chance of rain so the Giants are going to need to run the ball
00:55on that grass field
00:56at Northwest Stadium they just need to do it last week 28 carries 87 yards average of 3.1 yards
01:05a
01:05carry against the Cardinals it's really not going to do it Najee Harris is not a game breaker as I
01:11said
01:11Cam Skadaboo runs as hard as anybody but he has not been a game breaker I think the key Tyrone
01:18Tracy
01:18needs to get more involved Tyrone Tracy had a 55 yard punt return in the game that shows that he
01:24has
01:25some juice he is the guy who can take it for longer distances the problem with Tyrone Tracy is the
01:31coaches just don't trust him right now he had a bad summer fumbled did some things that were not
01:38conducive to him getting on the field and then early in the season he lost the ball on a fumble
01:43and so that put him back in the pecking order so he has to slowly regain the trust of the
01:48coaches
01:49by holding on to the ball and I think at some point this Giants offense will need Tyrone Tracy
01:55maybe it's this week because they need someone to turn three four five yard carries into 15 20 yard
02:02carries especially this week of commanders don't have a great defense Giants need to run the ball
02:07number two Jaden Daniels he is back right he started the first two games for the commanders
02:13and then dislocated his left elbow his non-throwing elbow he missed a couple of games the commanders
02:20were 0-2 with Jaden Daniels on the field so far this season but he is a difference maker no
02:25Marcus
02:26Mariota the Giants don't get a break there they get Jaden Daniels coming back I'm sure he'll be ready
02:31to play I'm sure he'll have some kind of a brace or protection for that left dislocated elbow that is
02:38healed you know the Giants are not going to necessarily attack it but it'll be interesting to see if the
02:42commanders let Jaden Daniels run the way he's accustomed to he is a giant killer he is 3-0 against
02:50the Giants 70% completions three touchdowns no interceptions and oh by the way he's run for 147
02:57yards the key to him is to as far as stopping him keep him in the pocket when he gets
03:03outside the pocket
03:04there is really no more dangerous quarterback in the league and that includes Lamar Jackson the edge
03:11rushers Kayvon Thibodeau and Abdul Carter need to set the edge and not rush so aggressively that
03:18Jaden Daniels can get outside of them you need to keep him confined in the pocket keep him in front
03:24of you let guys like Arvel Reese and Tremaine Edmonds two terrific inside linebackers and great tacklers
03:30let them get their hands on Jaden Daniels because if you start sliding this way sliding that way he is
03:36very elusive he's skinny he makes himself skinny that's what some players say he's just hard to hit
03:42he's hard to get he is a very good quarterback when healthy he is back healthy now so and he
03:48has beaten
03:49the Giants every time he's played them so it is imperative to make him a pocket passer Denard Wilson
03:55did a great job last week going after Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissette Jacoby Brissette is pretty
04:02much a sitting duck in the pocket that is not Jaden Daniels you have to have a different rush scheme
04:07against him they can do it it's just a matter of getting it done so one of the my second
04:14key is
04:14dealing with Jaden Daniels don't let him wreck the game because he's capable of doing that
04:19and then my third key to the game is Jameis Winston the Jameis Winston experience right as I mentioned the
04:25weather is going to be bad I mean what did Jameis do to uh to deserve this right in his
04:30first start
04:30he's in a nor'easter in MetLife Stadium and the Giants kick four field goals by rookie Dominic Zavada
04:37they don't score a touchdown they beat the Titans 12-7 12 points isn't cutting it in this game I
04:42can tell
04:42you that much so Jameis we saw the whole gambit from him last week three touchdown passes terrific
04:49two interceptions not good not good that's not the kind of ratio the Giants want um the touchdown
04:56passes to Theo Johnson and Malik Nabors were excellent throws really really terrific throws
05:01pinpoint throws that had to be on the money against decent coverage uh Jameis showed something
05:07that he doesn't often show he rolled out of the pocket made a play and then flipped the ball to
05:12rookie Malachi Fields for a touchdown that was terrific but it was a really really slow start for
05:18Jameis a really slow start so they have to avoid that slow start look the commanders are not a great
05:24defense they've allowed a bunch of points so far this season um and uh let's see 37 points to the
05:31Cowboys 31 to the Seahawks in a game they won 33 31 with Marcus Mariota and 30 points to the
05:38Colts so
05:38this is a defense that you can score points against but as I mentioned it's going to be bad weather
05:44Jameis has to not play scared but he looks hesitant at times to unload that ball and cut it loose
05:51he has to be able to cut it loose um Malik Nabors had a great first half last week and
05:56um he was very
05:57vocal very emotional about wanting to dominate and get more touches in the second half he only had one
06:03catch in the second half after five in the first half so that is something to watch you have to
06:08force feed Malik Nabors but you can't be so obvious with where you're going with the ball that the
06:14commanders know it's coming now the commanders have some big injury problems uh that you know Stefan
06:19Diggs has a hamstring issue he has not practiced this week Terry McLaurin has a hamstring issue he
06:24has not practiced this week so that is Jaden Daniels two top weapons they might not play the
06:31Giants and um they've spoken about that this week Greg Newsome the second the cornerback who's new to
06:37the scene talked about it that we don't feel respected they were underdogs last week at home that was
06:43kind of crazy this week they are three and a half point underdogs to the commanders now as I said
06:48the Giants are three and one and the commanders are one in three what does that tell you that tells
06:53you either people want you to bet on money on the Giants or that the Giants are in a tough
07:01spot here
07:01and they're ripe for an upset maybe they are maybe they aren't I think if Jameis Winston holds on to
07:06the
07:06ball if they run the ball as I said and they can just keep Jaden Daniels under control the Giants
07:11have
07:11no excuses not to win this game
07:14you
