00:05um now with that said we're sports show our team's got a game tonight uh and i'm going to give
00:12you
00:12the keys to a win over the giants so i i watched a lot of the giants eagles game uh
00:19in lat actually
00:22yesterday last night just to see because i actually had that game on i bet the eagles on sunday that
00:27didn't work out uh and i really thought that the giants were a team that you know they're five two
00:35and one but they've got a 12 to seven win over the titans they were trailing in that game eight
00:40to six
00:41for most of it uh eight because the eagles scored and there was a penalty and so the eagles took
00:47advantage of half the distance to the goal to go for two and make it uh an eight to six
00:52lead and the
00:54eagles had a chance to win this game the guy that really saved them well two guys arvel reese was
01:01an absolute beast in this game their rookie linebacker who is the odds-on favorite for
01:06defensive rookie of the year sunny styles right now like third or fourth uh it's it's bailey it's
01:12reese it's jacob rodriguez in miami and then you get styles into the conversation but reese right now
01:18is the odds-on favorite to win defensive rookie of the year he has been outstanding freakishly athletic
01:25playmaker pass rusher from off ball from edge he's just a good player um but uh what i really came
01:35away thinking about the giants after watching the eagle game closer and the texans game from two weeks
01:43ago before the giants had their bye week is that the giants are a good defensive football team
01:48they're a sound physical they get after the quarterback the giants pressure the quarterback
01:58especially if you're in you know disadvantaged down in distance and i i thought in watching it
02:07there's one thing about the giants right now that isn't solid and that is the quarterback position
02:16jj mccarthy is still an unknown he got hurt last week left the game and the star of the game
02:22really
02:22for the giants or the savior was that the only quarterback of the two that really got anything
02:28going consistently was jamis winston who drove them when jj mccarthy got hurt early in the third quarter
02:3414 plays nearly 80 yards in like eight minutes he was excellent on the drive six of eight on the
02:43drive
02:43mccarthy uh winston was for 71 of the 80 or the 77 yards whatever it was and a touchdown to
02:52isaiah likely
02:54to give them the lead you know the the lead was 13 to 8 going into the fourth quarter philly
03:01was worse
03:02than they even were against us because joe milton had no concept of defenses where pressures were
03:10coming from now he is athletic i mean when he turned and started to run he was a threat to
03:16score
03:16as a runner i think he rushed for like 65 yards in the game uh but i actually think tanner
03:22mckee would
03:23have given them a better chance uh milton got sacked seven times in the game but the giants
03:30defensively are impressive uh i i really believe that they've got good players they've got they
03:37clearly believe in denard wilson the giants with harbaugh and then naggy is the oc and denard wilson
03:44is the dc they're buttoned up right now so keys to a win in this game number one is stay
03:53out of third
03:55down as much as you can on offense the giants right now are 11th in the league third down defense
04:02i have to tell you that i was surprised after watching these two games i thought i was going to
04:07pull
04:07up the third down numbers and the giants were going to be top five they were 11th in the league
04:12even though they've held the texans and the eagles in the last two games to eight for 30 on third
04:19down
04:19washington if you don't know this about our team is the worst third down offensive football team
04:27in the league 32nd out of 32 stay out of third down because the giants pass rush is effective on
04:37third down backed up by some solid coverage that leads me to this because i think you know okay stay
04:46out of third down how do they do that i really want tonight to be an unveiling of a different
04:53jayden
04:54daniels a different david blau you know there is a an argument to be made that with the weather
05:00tonight and it's not supposed to be good weather rain wind during the game the nor'easter that's
05:04affecting really north of us more than here um that you just want to protect the football and you want
05:11to play good defense which you've played you want to win the field position battle and you want
05:15jay jay mccarthy to soil himself and that's how you win the game you could argue that that's maybe
05:21the best way i don't want it done that way i want them to let jayden loose tonight i want
05:30to see
05:30aggressive play calling early in the game on first and second downs i want shots taken with trey burks
05:38back tonight you know they they can they can take some shots i think i think that's where you get
05:43the
05:43giants is not on third down but on first and second down and i want chunk plays explosives
05:49they had seven explosives in that game against philly they had several against the giants in the
05:55first matchup but i want them offensively to err on the side of aggressiveness over passiveness
06:03and i want jayden daniels to be a part of the run game tonight i'm not talking about as a
06:08scrambler
06:09of course i want him to scramble when it makes sense i mean he had two long touchdown runs in
06:15their first meeting but i want him involved in the zone read game not not as a triple option like
06:23we saw
06:24against the rams the triple option exposes the quarterback way too much zone read doesn't as much
06:32i want him part of the run game i think it will be a jolt to the rest of the
06:37run game whether it's
06:39white whether it's eckler whether it's henry who might get a shot tonight after being active last
06:45week but not getting a shot to carry the ball i want shots taken i want under center play action
06:51first down we're throwing the ball deep we are making them defend the entire field and burks goes
06:59deep but here comes antonio williams or digs or chig over the middle for a 17 yard first and 10
07:05play
07:08so you you can make the argument that it would be better to play it conservatively play it safe
07:16the giants aren't explosive offensively they were against us over the final quarter and a half
07:21into overtime likely neighbors jamis as we tried to blitz them over and over again and jamis picked
07:29it apart i don't know if j.j mccarthy can do that i actually feel better about mccarthy being the
07:35starter than jamis winston being the starter those could be you know famous last words when it comes to
