I don't know what you had in mind, but here we stand on posing sights. Let's go to war. Let's go to war! Drag on the ourselves with the wrongtree dine, make them off one by one. Let's go to war. Let's go to war! I'm here with my coach, the football girl, and we've got a giant, coronal preview week of the four, the two and one giant, both the one and two errors are in the cardinal. It's a legacy game for the New York Giants.
Grump, the last time the Giants were two games above 500 was after their 2022 win against the Colts. And hey, with the Eagles loss, first the Rams and a Giants win, they could be in the sole possession of first place in the NFC's. We'll get into the, you know, the Xs and O's and what the Giants can do in this game, but this is Extremely winnable, right? This is not a take it for granted game. This is not a this is not even the Titans in my opinion, right? Like the Titans we win is like they should win this game But this is extremely winnable for the Giants and they have an opportunity to be three and one We'll see how the rest of the season plays out, but being three and one certainly helps you as you go We were hoping for a fast start to this season Bobby And going three and one is absolutely possible getting sole possession of first place in the NCEs is also very possible by the end of this week and Philly and Dallas have Difficult matchups coming up with the Rams and I think the Texans So yeah, it's it's totally possible. I'm looking forward to it I think the legacy game thing is one of the coolest thing that the Giants do. I think that making it a special event
Is is better than making it your permanent uniform if I have to take the two I hope they keep it as special as they make it and they don't water it down slowly over time the first one was the best I don't know if anybody else was there for the first legacy game They eighties down the whole stadium including the soundtrack and the scoreboard which was rather the Bears game the game Where Daniel Jones and Tyro Taylor got injured in that one. I think that's right. Yeah And I'm excited men I'm also I'm gonna be heading to the great white North this weekend to watch Canadian football with my buddy for his bachelor party I'll be back Sunday for the recap for this game too. So I have a jam packed football week in the head of me Oh, wow, wow, you know what I just I just noticed that the CFL Communications Department followed me maybe I'll reach out and get you hooked up with something probably not a little forget All right, let's get into this episode first this episode is brought to you by some special We had Drew Gink Kingston Jennings great Drew Jamie's Broke his F in leg George Huff-Neggle the third the second in the first or so proud of you George
We got Tom C as in Tom wants to see the giants with some ass this year and then we got BA as in beat Arizona grump who are these extremely special people these extremely special people went to patreon.com Slash the giants nation they signed up for one of the two tears that were available They get things like free stickers in the mail from Bobby they get entered to a monthly free t-shirt raffle They can also get a copy of Jordan Ron's book this year They get access to hangout during recordings of episodes just like this one and and do me a favor if you follow Bobby Skinner on Twitter He posted a breakdown of how Greg Roman is altering the run game based on tendencies to stop their tendencies That's just a snippet of like what is offered on patreon for the all 22 game breakdowns Which Bobby puts out every week for patrons? So those people they were extremely glad that they did you be glad you did so Usually I have a very clear plan of like I let's do Johnny's offense or Johnny's defense first Which way do you want to tack this because I'm going to tell you do we want to go about the Cardinals offense
Which I have a I actually not saying they're amazing. I think but I have a lot of respect for them or The Cardinals defense which I don't have respect for them But the Giants need they the Giants need to play a certain way which one do you want to hit first? I think I think we should start by talking about the offense for the Giants because I think I think scoring points is on everybody's mind Two weeks with no touchdowns. I think people will probably want to know how we can possibly score against this team You're not going to win this game by scoring 14 points I'll say that and I'm glad you said that because that's how I form out of my notes and I didn't want to change that So the Cardinals defense is 24th and points for a game allowed their 29th and E. P.A. per play We'll start with the passing offense for the Giants so the Cardinals passing defense 23rd and passing yours 31st and net yards per attempt 30th and passing like they give up explosives right? They are you know top of the league of giving up explosive plays But for the Giants mindset wise going into this game
It's kind of branches off of our mailbag a little bit And now that this is the second game for James Winston starting We'll see if there's rain. We'll have a weather report here in a little bit But I don't think that's an excuse. I'm not advocating for a pass happy game plan But you can't call a conservative passing offense when you do drop back or you will lose this game Like unless you just have a flat-out dominant run game Which is possible but like when you drop back you got to put the ball in James's hands a little bit more right? Number one it just because the way that Arizona plays and we'll break down but If you just start if you just go and dink and dunk number one James hasn't done that very well and that plays into their hands even if you do do it fairly well do do grump You we've got to put the ball in James's hands and I want to say this is a big picture too is we've talked about When we had to make the switch to James like I how do you approach this when you have 15 games left and at least for one week They went very conservative. They don't want James to turn over They traded for Jason McCarfe this week. I obviously I'm not the biggest fan of JJ
But like we expect him to get in at some point Well now that he's here Let's see what James has to have because you're just gonna bench him if it doesn't work anyway So let's see what let James be the best version of himself Let's see if he can get that explosive passing offense while limiting the turnover It's not eliminating but limiting the thermos because you're gonna you're gonna bench him if it doesn't go well anyways So let's see it don't go you don't they go crazy I think you can limit passing attempts, but don't limit the passing game grump. I Agree man, so the cardinals run a fairly complicated coverage system on the back end with young defensive coordinate or Nick Rollus who survived the firing of Jonathan Ganon They run a like exclusively zone basically and they Second highest rate in the NFL 85% zone coverage. Yeah They drop into a lot of like cover three a lot of cover four and a lot of cover six I also think that the and it's a lot of confusion and a lot of like misalignment at the front and then they drop into these Zone coverages it puts a lot of stress on the linebackers and it puts a lot of stress on communication between a secondary group that I
Think is just okay, and I think going through like the three games that they've had They're good for one major bust in the back in coverage per game And they I mean they got burned by it very early in the Seattle game Jackson spit the jigba They totally screwed up on the right side of the defense there Between the safety in the corner. They both went to the flat and he just kept going So I mean they're good for one screw up like that per week I think also with the amount of you know cover six that they run I think there's gonna be seam shots open for you. There's the middle of the field's gonna be open for business But it's not just you drop back and throw to the middle of the field. It's no it's like hey influence them on one way Get like that's where he's talking about those backside incuts. That's what James is good at put that they're a middle linebacker Mac Wilson He's over aggressive like when you tell him there's someone row global on the ceiling He starts looking up and says where like he is overly aggressive and the stuff now that's that can help them right against the Run game you can get an interception of James is not paying attention closely enough on a concept
So you got to be careful of that but what it means is Because like you mentioned they run cover six which is basically half cover two You know if you're playing mad and cover two then half cover four is that that is a defense that floods the flooding Like you want to put people in a zone and their defense will do that You've got to put some stuff on the backside because it's gonna be there the open the middle the field can be open for business You mentioned they did get a little bit aggressive against the 49ers to and like single high and trying to place a man cover John the outside But like the giant's wide receivers like it's on them this week to win as well too like you know Personnel wise will Johnson's on IR they should have the advantage at every single wide receiver verse cornerback Position you know quarterbacks this year have eight passing touchdowns one interception Against them the one interception was a Justin Herbert 60 are just screw it ball They give up explosive passes 28th in the NFL teams are pushing the ball against them the highest average death of target in the NFL
Like the giant seem to win their matchups, but James has you have to let James play his game again That does not mean 40 dropbacks. It can be 23 24 dropbacks, but when you're doing that given those opportunities and I would say the giants Stop putting James and third down and you want to run the ball But you've got to find a little bit more ball as balance on early downs I'm not I'm not even saying like his first down they have a extremely high run rate the highest in the NFL by wide margin I'm not saying you need to get fully away from that but Second and long Let's let's put let's put the ball in the quarterbacks hands a little bit more Understand that it worries you with like you know putting the ball back on against your defense But put just a little bit more because what's happening is you're getting a third down and That's that's just not fun for a back of quarterback with it. It's like anytime you drop back as third down You know let them get into a rhythm. Let me let them find some outlets Not everything has to be do or do or die and the you know the Cardinals have gotten a little bit aggressive on third down
They did slur some you know exotic looks at the 49ers They were I know I'm getting crazy into like you know tendencies and stuff like they line up their what rushers extremely Why they like the stunt you just don't want to be like they're not very good But third down is where you're kind of playing into their hands Yeah, and they don't generally bring more than four rushers very often They will bring four rushers from exotic places just the same way that Denard Wilson kind of does But it's generally four rushers I would I agree with you on on a lot of things here with this with With James taking shots in this game and I also think after three games This is kind of a good moment to start Breaking off of your tendencies, right? So the linebackers are incredibly active in this defense and they have really complicated Responsibilities because they rotate into zone coverage Post snap like a lot of times they're they're lined up on all his scrimmage whatever Play action can do a ton for this offense in this game They're really active linebackers. They have a ton of responsibility and stress on them
We run the ball a ton like you said on first down. What are we leading the league and runs on first down? Yeah Yeah, I mean there's your play action right there do all your pulling madness with Patrick or Cardon stuff and and throw off of it Yeah, listen I we're gonna get into our run game a little bit like I think the run game can be very successful This could this could end up being camp scottibus best game But it's just when you drop back you got to put the ball in james's hands a little bit more and a challenge for the jenius receivers Mm-hmm. This is a bad cornerback group, right? You know, it's dare Williams, you know, Max mountains probably their best one um Denzel Burke, uh, you know, like he's been awful like you know because will Johnson's been on IR like Every single one Malik neighbors Malikai feels darn Elmooney you all should be able to win your one-on-ones And Isaiah likely right like bootabaker's not really playing man coverage or whatever So it's not like you have that like a one-on-one matchup I know there was a stat going around about like bootabaker coverage stats and I think that's a example of like while you don't look at safety coverage stats are passurating too much
But like Isaiah likely you could find him in the male Lafielse whether it's finding Malik neighbors on backside in cuts Finding Isaiah likely on the front side of stuff the middle of the field is open for business And if it's not and if they game playing against the giants playing the middle of the field Then we need to win our one-on-ones on the outside. There's no excuse for our receivers to not win one-on-ones this week Yeah, and I think that they might over commit to take things away in this defense Especially if it's a halftime adjustment And I think that there has to be some level of take what they give you at that point because it seems to be that way as I go through the games like The second half of games they're kind of adjusting what they're doing and leaving something else wide open some good teams can find that I'm not exactly sure what that's going to be But it might be something to the flats or just outroutes or something depending on whatever coverage they rotate into but They're willing weaknesses and again Mac Wilson their middle line becker. He's overly aggressive Like so that can get you in trouble You don't want that there be a James Winston interception But what that can lead to is big explosive plays throughout the middle of the field
Getting into the James rushing offense versus their rushing defense. They're 26 and rushing defense 24th in the arms for carry um They get into these wide alignments right so it's can leave them vulnerable But they are aggressive right like they're looking to get run stops and tackles for loss. I have 14 tackles for loss in three games You know, they let their defense align and you know jumped apps. They're looking to get up field so The James have done a good job of like playing against that and staying on schedule Make them pay a little bit, you know, make them make them pay a little bit because you know We've been good at avoiding those negative runs This is not a team that has like we're finally playing a team that isn't just loaded at defense attack Or you're the Titans of Jeffrey Simmons You know Aaron Donald and Kobe Turner against the Rams and then Kenny Clark and Quillen Williams a week one Which probably the weakest matchup they've gotten was those two guys Um and not to say that they're terrible. I forget. I forgot the right is named down number 55 Like he's a decent player. You have Walter Nolan who was you know limited in practice, but like
You can run the ball in this game and maybe this is a this is the first game where the giant rushing offense isn't just on schedule and avoiding negatives But Let's you know what let's average five yards of pop like it's not impossible to do that and you know what I've I figured out This is a big cam scataboo game Arizona the state of Arizona loves cam scataboo right he is a big talk of their week as they love cam scataboo So you know scataboo is gonna want to go off in this game Najee can you know can do what he does This this should be a big run like The giants if they're gonna have a game where the run game is just awesome and not just like oh They this is the way they play ball control. They avoid negatives. They're physical. This could be it against the Cardinals Yeah, I agree. I think I think the defensive line group for Arizona is not very good You know Josh sweat is certainly somebody to worry about you mentioned Dante stills by by number number 50. Yeah, don't they stills
The two guys in the middle Walter Nolan and Roy Lopez are not very impressive. They're also both hurt They're both limited in practice this week with a groin and a shoulder respectively or I think now maybe revert I don't it doesn't matter um I think a lot of what Arizona does to mitigate that is they they really do have a lot of guys up at the line of scrimmage Sort of at the start of the snap and they'll rotate out of it and I think Like we were saying before if you start with play action and soften them up and make them play coverage first early in the game I Conf I think that Najee Harris and Kim scataboo can blast their way through the middle after that Get the get everyone playing off the line of scrimmage and then hit them with that You know if you force them to have to play the past you can really let them batter their way through and I think the opportunities are there But I think if you start the game to run heavy. I mean they like to have Corners right up on the line of scrimmage if we run tight splits They're gonna be right there on like right at the end of the line. So I think the opportunities there if we can soften them up from coverage first Yeah, and we've given a lot of flowers to Greg Roman and his run game
I mean side to see what he has for this cardinals team like I like I did let this be the game I'm really excited to see what he has skamed up for this cardinals Defense you do you have anything else on the cardinals defense before we switch over Uh, no not really. Let's let's hit their offense, which is my bigger worry Well, if you want to hit the game you got to go to Seaky And that's why I'm excited to talk about the sponsor of today's episode which is Seaky So let's give them a huge shout out shout out with over 35 million downloads Seaky is the number one rated ticketing app There more than 70,000 events listed on Seaky including concert sports festivals And more NFL college football full swing guess what grump guess what month it is It's baseball playoff month.

Thank you Seaky. You'll be glad that you did I heard a breath in there Play play back. Let's let's look at the comments Let's talk about the uh The Cardinals office because I had this it's not amazing for their 21 points for game They're 18th in the NFL and scoring 12th and e-paper play I actually pretty low on the yards per play But I have respect for this Cardinals offense and but in both the past and the run like I don't think passing wise. I think they are what they are run game I think they have a lot more potential than what they are We'll start with the passing game Jacobi brosette is playing with a lot of confidence right now. He's completing 70% of his passes
He's seeing the quick game very well. He's accurate And he has a lot of trust in his targets and the offense now They're not playing this super aggressive right there are third lows and average def a target time to throw started They're getting the ball out Quickly they're getting the ball out usually to you know shorter targets But they have the fifth most passing attempts in the NFL and I was shocked to look at this Tramick bride and Michael Wilson are fourth and fifth in the NFL in targets You know Tramick bride third and catch is 18th in yards Wilson's 10th and receptions and 30th 30 yards so it's not saying they're Top of the NFL in yardage, but like they're getting targeted a lot and there's a lot of trust like with Michael Wilson like Tramick bros Tramick broselson Tied in one. I know me and you loved him back in the draft stuff and You he just wins right like you get no matter what you're doing he wins He's great to catch point, you know He routes guys up super well. So that's normal Michael Wilson
There's just so much trust that Jacobi brosette has with Michael Wilson We're Tramick bros you're gonna get the trust from any quarterback Because Michael Wilson he's big bodied, but he's snappy speaking or drafts up You remember his senior but we loved him down in mobile out of Alabama and Teams will cheat their leverage like for example. Let's say Michael Wilson's running an out route They will have a corner with off coverage and and cheating way outside and that corner won't even bite on like a headfaker or anything and Wilson will break out and For sets got the ball out of his hands and like they're there's a lot of trust on that stuff and with his size and that Snappiness that quickness that he has like he's been able to make Plays again, it hasn't been like we said it's 33rd in yards 10th and catch So there's not like he's been dominant but like he's been good and he's been a big reason why their Completion rate is so high so like Tramick bros you got to worry about him, but I wonder if Greg knew some travels with Michael Wilson Because he just played just one side the first two weeks He played about 50 50 last week
Whether it's Colton Hood or if Deont they banks comes back Newsom has been nice and physical he hasn't been great But like he's been physical. He's been in the hip pocket of receivers where the other guys get sauce a little bit more I almost want Greg Newsom traveling with Michael Wilson this week, bro They've been playing more man lately geez. I clicked something in an ad played very loudly in my ears It's yeah, that's another thing. That's a we could do a mailbag But to Nard Wilson went from no man coverage to now like that's his most used covers now Well, I mean, it's it's only three games into the season and we're having to deal with the quarterback stuff So we'll see but yeah, I think it's possible and it's it's pretty clear that They've been trying to get the ball to Michael Wilson They struggled with it early on in the season and they they made a concerted effort to put it in his hands Through the ball 52 times last week against the Niners I think what's really dangerous about this team is their ability to just Be perfectly comfortable throwing it 50 times or be perfectly comfortable running it 50 times and and you know
You mentioned Tray McGride. I absolutely loved him. I still I think he's the best tight end football He's a serious problem no matter where he lines up Michael Wilson's another problem Even if they kind of do what they can to mitigate those two The other thing is they still have Marvon Harrison on the backside who's clearly fallen down the depth sharper He's still another option. They still have Kendrick born That's another really good option for them So like and Jacobi percent like you said he's playing very comfortable right now He's very comfortable taking what's given to him He's very comfortable getting the ball out quickly and confidently and just zipping them in there So I don't think he's gonna care if it's not Tray McBride or Michael Wilson either so yeah I think I'd like Greg Newsom to follow him but I'm Those are the two guys, but they can't just slack on the other weapons that Arizona has because bursets very comfortable right now Yeah, yeah, like again, he he looks solid and again They they've also they haven't hit it big yet But there is a concerted effort to get Jeremiah love involved in the back of it and not just swing passes
You know like they're using one angle routes like they're they're actually trying to get him involved and he'll catch the passes It's just he's they've been covered fairly well um And you know love is I know every first round running back which if you want to Jeff I want it running back in the first round just say I think this guy's gonna add explosive Uh, we don't into this ain't all they're actually wide they're actually a wide receiver No, he's a running back who catches passes, but love is very good at the receiving part of the game like he can actually run around and win leverage and stuff um And like I said the there are often some lines not very good pairs Johnson is good. He's not and and fallible But he's good They're right tackle not so great. The real struggle is their center and right guard those guys are terrible but the thing is is that There's six best and sack right so because they get the ball out quick right and the giants get the ball thrown at them the quickest rate in the NFL So that's probably not going to change this week The giants also have no interior rush so this may be their best week of pass rush, but it's not going to be like oh man our defensive tackles
You know two quarterback hits and three but I guess just not gonna happen with this group unless it's just a crazy one off um And like all other issues are like stunt pickups and stuff and blitzing and I you know it's like you're gonna see that But I think for sets it's gonna get the ball out here's where I'll say Shelby Harris mr. Path's breakup get your hands up this game balls coming out quick I am guaranteeing a Shelby Harris gets his hands on the football in this game That is a Bobby Skinner guarantee Shelby Harris do not let me down. I am I'm relying on you But when it happens I want everybody to tweet Bobby Skinner called the Shelby Harris pass break up Yeah, I have in my notes hands up and passing lanes uh It's it's a thing that happened in every single game so far this year they get the ball out too fast for anyone to get there Just get your hands up just put your hands up if you're not getting anywhere near there. There's a good chance that you'll hit the ball um But you're fucking hands up That you said the right side of the line is definitely the bigger issue for there is on a cardinals
Like to run to the left too um I'm not really sure that that I think that that's gonna matter more on running down so with the pass rush You know, I think I think guys just have to win You know, I'm not really sure that it matters to much like overloading one thing they get the ball It's so fast that committing resources to trying to like overload one side and Denard Wilson did a lot of really cool stuff last week Where he was russian drew phillips on a blitz between our val Reese on the outside and abdual Carter Which putting those three guys going after the quarterback I love it But cam ward stands in the pocket should Kobe brisket gets rid of the ball So I'm not and again, you know we we talked about all the man coverage that they ran last week There's a good chance that that was simply because the conditions they felt comfortable where it's just like I'm gonna have to See cam ward thread a needle in man coverage before I'm worried about it enough to move off of it But I do think with the offense like the cardinals where they don't really press the ball deep too often You can show cover two and rotate into cover one man if you want to just you know
I wouldn't advertise that deep is open, but I think you can play a little fast and loose Yeah, and and percent percent smart with this stuff man like yes, you're not gonna He's not pushing the ball like crazy like he's just not he's not pushing the ball all really So it's just like a lot of these like You know crazy blitz looks and covers rotations They're just not overly Effective against Jacobi brisket so it's really about limiting them, but we got to talk about their run game This is where They're 25th and running rushing to 3.6 yards for care of the 26 so you just look at that and say they're a bad run team But I do I think they have a lot of potential Because I really do like Jeremiah so they run duo 40% of time that's the fourth highest rate in the NFL and what does duo it's basically And teams the way they do it now is they basically put three tight ends on the line of the scrimmage And you're creating as many double teams as possible So you have eight guys on the line of scrimmage
You're basically creating three double teams and then the guys on the outside usually have one of ones And then you're pushing to the linebacker and you're running back is pressing the a gap Extremely fast if the lot if the linebacker fills aggressively you bounce it if he doesn't you just hit that a gap Jeremiah love is perfect for that type of scheme because of how smooth he is because he can bounce it so well And he's quick in his changes direction is so good The Rams had a lot of success against the giants more so at the end of the game, but still Our velle Reese has to be ready right? Tremaine edmunds is not going to be the overly aggressive. He's not going to be out of place Our velle Reese needs to be aggressive in this game in the run because what happens is the Rams just kind of gotten to his lap And they they had those runs at the end and level making pay more The biggest difference though the Rams Just like the passing in their center and guard suck And DJ reader Kim kicks him ass this week like DJ reader can be a ass kicker of this game and blow up their run a little bit
It's been a reason why their run game has struggled so much but I do I do worry that they'll find a lot of success against the giant who are basically bottom five in every russian statistic Yeah, I mean if you're if you're Arizona if you're Mike Laflore and you go into this game You have a weak giant's defensive line and a weak secondary Uh And you have Jeremiah love Where you attacking I'm attacking I'm attacking with the run game first That's kind of the way that I would look at this if I were Arizona I think that that's the way it would do it I want to put the ball in Jeremiah loves hands. He's dangerous. I mean, I mean, I'm I'm a little I think that we can contain Jeremiah love with DJ reader our velle Reese Tremaine edmunds are playing very well right now Shelby Harris is playing decently well I'm I'm so far pretty happy with the way the run game has played with those two guys When the subs come on the field it's a different story, but it is what it is well and but I am worried about like getting down to the wire like we did against the Rams and and you know
Other things like running post-wheel with Jeremiah love or something like that He is definitely the guy that I'm the most worried about yeah, and now they were we're talking about our recent I want this goes to the passing game Michael flow is gonna attack our bowries in the past me. He's gonna see if he's making like even our Vowries had a awesome game in week three Um, and you had that great covers play on wander off like that was good. That was real deal The next play he busted this coverage now wasn't a touchdown like week one in week two That's going to be attacked Um, and then again the run game what I'll be interested to see if if the cardinals counter though because Carbond and d'Nord Wilson specifically said in their press conference this week they run a lot of duo They're a lot like the Rams You also see the cardinals have this desire to get outside the tackles They just have been very bad at it because they're often so aligned I wonder if the floor sees that early on and says like, hey man, they're squeaky really squeezing into here Let's try and get some stuff out on the asset because they try it quite a bit They just suck at it
I wonder if they see like oh the giant's a really game planning for these duo run. Let's let's try and get outside the tackles a little bit And fourth third dvs to make plays on Jeremiah love. So you got you got to be ready um For with these guys Yeah, they they line up in a lot of uh, I mean almost Just 11 and 13 personnel. I am a little bit worried about the numbers it like So they they like to run to the left hand side that they can probably get outside on us like I'm worried about this edge group right now I mean do we we don't know how how much do we expect your hard war to be a part of this defense this week? I'm glad you ask because I wanted to do a little jahawg reward segments So I think it's gonna be really involved. Okay good number one Because Chalsey, Goldston has played that D line thing and because they're gonna play someone eat so much 13 personnel Not as much as the Rams but they're gonna play a little bit the giants are gonna be in their base defense quite a bit um And now that burns is in out here. It's like, who's gonna be the third outside line backer? I think it's gonna be a
combination of Goldston and Ward and I want to be surprised if Ward kind of takes Goldston's place and Goldston Just becomes a more traditional third outside linebacker There shouldn't be any acclimation period. Ward has been practicing with Minnesota for a three weeks now So he's he's he should be in football shape um He played with the Nord Wilson last year both inside and out. He obviously John Harbaud knows him. He's ready to go I think he's gonna play a good bit this week. I think he's gonna he's gonna walk right in and be a part of Their plan So I I expect in our Wilson or jahawg Ward to be a big part of his defense quite honestly Almost I won't sit I almost want to say more so than the first go around with the giants Obviously Wink Martin Dale loved him and he played a lot but he did play just a more traditional outside line backer run defending role With the giants the way they're currently I think Like Brian Burns not being there and the fact that they need him to play inside like he might have a bigger role for the giants than when he was here with Wink Martin Dale
Yeah, I mean, I I think he I think when he was here with Wink Martin Dale almost felt like he outperformed the role that he was destined for like There were times like yeah, I know how he's stepping up here Whereas now I feel like there's just more in his shoulders There's just so much more that's needed from him We don't run a defense where the pressure comes from 15 different places where we're bringing corn Like it's it's it's on the defensive line to get after the quarterback. So I know you called it Uh with jahawg Ward. Yeah, yeah, I mean I mean he teased it. I don't I don't want to take a hundred percent credit I'll take it he's did win Well, he teased it when he made the video a couple weeks back, but then he signed with the Vikings. Yeah I know but he put it in my head. Yeah, that's true You know, hey Um, I'm too honest. Oh speaking of uh, zombie Um by the cranberries Um We're gonna get to segments and I have an idea for trivia loser

What's the weather looking like in madlife? Is it gonna rain this week? No, you know, I like to jump predicting the norris through that everyone's all coming Yeah, everyone I can't help but notice you took the first opportunity you had to throw my fed as a further bus It's just like push we've right probably the first. Yeah, of course It's not as far we talked about you were good last week though You you know you you got you got the double last week. So good job. Oh, thanks. I appreciate that. I was afraid that
There's gonna be a little more trash talking this time. I was good dude. You get it right. Yeah. What did you did you get something wrong? I didn't get anything wrong then why would I talk trash? Yeah, I don't know I could just wait for my operatives. Just know I'm always waiting for my opportunity in the pounds To get something wrong. Your legacy was on the lines good, but is there gonna be range Sunday? Because I you know, I look at the weather app and it says maybe what what are we looking like for Sunday at madlife legacy? So before it looked like it was gonna rain the whole game that the weather system was gonna shoot up from the golf straight into New Jersey along the east coast Right now it looks like the rain is gonna be later. I Right now I'm actually gonna predict rain by two being like the second half of the game So The tailgate's gonna be nice. It's gonna be 60 degrees. The wind's gonna be relatively calm 10 miles an hour um I sucks because all my Chance of rain stuff is no longer Acquired all but I'm predicting rain towards the tail end of the game. So hopefully we can see James
Maybe do something Yes, because what I don't want is like oh well the reason they ran Stick 10 times is because it was wet like I just don't want that but I mean like last week It's a valix use this week you need to you need to play football I don't want to hear whether is a reason why you did a certain thing with the passing game Oh, and again, they're gonna be run heavy. I want to see run heavy But I don't want it to be a reason why we're only throwing six yard stick concepts But they're quarterback who doesn't really thrive in that situation. So I what what do we got for trivia this week by the way? I have I have proposed a A trivia punishment loser has to get kicked out of an apple bees now for those be like oh you guys are gonna be jerks for your friend is The winner will go have a nice meal and Well, I will fund a big tip for waitress or waiter whoever has the deal whoever has to kick the person out I won't tell them that you know, it's it's a prank bro
But loser has to get kicked out of an apple bees Ricky Bobby style or Reese Bobby style So so how do you want is it just gonna be creative liberties to see creative liberties if you can fight somebody you can you know Stand on the table like you know do it do it. Whatever you want you know You know, they'll have to see where one says it'll send send your steak back 10 times Like now if this isn't what I want you know like You have creative liberties of how to get kicked out are you down with that? I probably here's what I was gonna say I almost feel like it's a trivia punishment ordering a steak from apple bees True, but just just but you can order whatever you want you can finish your I'm not saying you don't have to you can't finish your meal You can finish your meal, but you have me to get them to kick you out of apple bees You don't have to put up a fight when they do it, right? You know, you'll need to copse call on you But you need them to ask them to ask you to leave Did you ever see that it only probably ran for one season? This was a show I watch with my family
It was on like you know court tea or whatever back in the day And no one no one washed it, but it was You had to get a job And get fired on the first day But the winner was whoever got fired the closest to five o'clock or whatever and you didn't he didn't get to know what time it was Was very funny. There's one guy's a dishwasher. They were calling him dish bitch by the end Uh, because he was just you know And then one day like a copy place and though, you know, there's this woman laying on the floor just like I hate copies He's It didn't it didn't build the momentum But I remember a me and my family just cracking up laughing watching that shit. It's a really good premise So are you are you agreeing to it grump? You don't have to say yes, but I am proposing an official one What I'll say is this so far of all the proposals is the one that I want to do the least therefore It is the closest thing to an act we should do it in mobile Alabama too I was saying I don't want to do it in my town if that's okay. Yeah, we'll do it in Alabama. We'll do it for senior bull week. Oh, fuck okay
Oh lord All right, uh, so for trivia this week Um, I really struggled with this one because recently I feel like a lot of the trivia is like pretty easy There's like the 2011 game Um, but it's a very historic game you guys talked about how this is gonna be um What's the freight like it's a rivalry game legacy game legacy game Oh, by the way is anybody winning in trivia? Yeah, hold on well, I'll look that up in the second one. Yeah, I'm just asking I forgot if anyone's way you know I think grumps leading it right now because of the um, he guessed all Rashad Jennings for the Rams game Okay, it's keep the So I think he guessed right on that one, but anyways it might be only one point above you at this point right it's it's close um So the giants and cardinals have 124 shared players have played for both teams throughout their histories Um, I was gonna have see how many names you guys can rattle off
I'm not gonna do that. There's no way we could do it in a reasonable amount of time um But one of the most notable being Kurt Warner Can you guys tell me how many times Kurt Warner has played in a giants versus Cardinals game? Doesn't matter what team, but just how many times has he played with those two playing each other So just anytime the he participated in a giants versus right cardinals game. Did he have to get play time? I think he got decent play time in all of them. Okay Okay I'm just I'm gonna say Gosh his one with the cardinals was so we like remember you you know, he wasn't the starter at some point like Matt liner was in there um I'm gonna I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say four I'm gonna say one with the giants because I feel like you want to ask it if we didn't play but I don't I don't remember that game from that season Um, I'm gonna say four four grump what do you think I'm gonna say two I feel like you Bobby actually guessed uh Bobby got our exactly right he had two with each And old for no yeah, oh four and oh five he had um a game played for the giants and then oh eight and oh nine You got a fact check me That before you put another one here I am fact checking you Oh five oh four no five Well, I know oh four, but because he was the starter that year 2000 That way hold on I think I still have it That must have been oh Oh on the cardinal I was like he I was like he left that's one thing it was okay when you said oh four oh five I thought you're saying like he was on the giants. I was like wait a second then Then did I totally missed I thought Kerr won her left after 2004 that was a week one matchup
Hmm So bet that I figured it'd be a little bit interesting a little bit different do you guys how many giants can you name that aren't Isaiah Simmons will Hernandez Oh just some pew Do you think you can name anymore? Like I and traw rolls probably a big one that's a big one. Yeah, uh uh Antoine buffet uh Um even that well Deed Dale and Buchanan remember he joined the giants for a little bit and twenty like it Josh Moro rest in peace Um Korean Martin that's or brought a lot over yeah, that's right. Yeah, oh to Sanderson If you want to go older. Yeah, um the Eagles. I think played for the cardinals Fee goes play for like so many teams so you forget um Trying to think of what's let's think of the most recent giants cardinal crossover It's probably not a PJ Mustafa. He's on a practice squad revenge game this week But yeah, there's no where there's besides him. There's no giants were avenge games this week
Um Carly's a little our outside lineup record coach gobrio michael gobrio Yeah, Casey Casey Criter is on the card. No, so I'll be excited to see Casey Criter I'm actually I'm gonna write that down Casey Criter tweet. Let me tweet a Casey Criter So while you're tweet net out um you guys are tied at three now So grump was leading at one. So it's three three right now in the series Um grump. Don't choke this way. You're gonna have to get kicked out of an apple piece. I'm so excited for grump to get kicked out of an Alabama apple piece um To get dead sounds like that sounds like it's too difficult like he's gonna have to go over the top you don't even have to be in the family I have to be like a issue Well, I think also like the people in mobile are so nice I don't think apple bees waitress will be super nice once you start you know act out, you know she might cry No, I think she I think she might make you cry. No, I mean Didn't we had a waitress at In Alabama that started crying the waffle house you she was going for a tip. Okay, that was she was so over the top
That was going for a tip and I listen I bought it it worked But that's how she greeted us. Yeah, that was that was over the top looking for a tip That was I was way over the top again. We we rewarded her with it, but that she was way over the top All right, now we've got fantasy coming up. All right, so everyone's won a week so far You know, I had the most with 43 last week, but Kyle had 24 he is in first place. He'll be picking first with 110 points I am 11 points back picking second and then grump only at 15 so he's 21 back so this is still you know Is there still any any man's game as it goes as it should be for week four be alarming if it was and Kyle you do have the first pick this week, which I think is very intriguing who are you taking Devon segal Terry I was out to say I figured you bring up Devon segal Terry again Which is the funniest thing that could have ever happened to me be on the show like oh, yeah Segal Terry's number three to brain bed by the way you pan move you should have went nagi
You should have just went with your you're saying mindset and pick nagi and you would have done well But you panic and just pick gunner helm Yeah, that's true. That's very fair Um, but this week I think it's going to be a little bit different should be drier for the game um I think we might number one pick. I'm gonna get trained the bride I mean you have to I mean he's the best tie-down in the NFL and It'll be interesting to see how the giants handle him Like do they bring like because Whenever they've gone to man coverage It's never jivon hall and playing man coverage on the tight end. He's always playing middle of the field Is uh, how would they handle them? Obviously we're not gonna have to haul and playing down on the box A ton of his own coverage. He played middle of the field. So how will they look to handle him? I think he's gonna be very interesting this week I'm gonna go Jeremiah love You know neighbors as scared me a little bit scatabo. It's it's you know, it's very touchdown reliant And and there's other options that could have a big game, but Jeremiah love is someone we know this gonna get carries and stuff
And against a bad giants run defense. So I'm I'm just gonna take the safe bet with my number two pick Uh, and take jera my uh love. I hadn't seen john harbor speaking is glowingly as a player this year About besides some of Jeremiah love grump. You know have back to back picks Going Isaiah like Yeah Yeah, I'm gonna go Isaiah likely my my big concern is that him and james are way off on timing for two games now Yeah, that's that's really scaring me, but I think neighbors is scaring me more because it may be a connection thing between likely and james But it's skeamed for likely this whole offense is skeamed for likely Yeah, there's nothing skiing for Maliki Yeah, and neighbors himself doesn't look quite right whereas likely and you know, whatever. So I'm gonna go Isaiah likely and then I'm gonna know Michael Michael Wilson. I didn't he's getting so many targets. So that's a that's it. Just target farming and so now I'm
To think that you could get Maliki neighbors and giants cardinals match up fifth is extremely intriguing But I think I'm just not gonna let get get snake bitten by Maliki neighbors again I mean, I got one point one a couple weeks ago, and I was like, right well next week. He's gonna bounce back and dinner You know, obviously you had eight points because they targeted him a lot I'm gonna stay true to the bigboard number three on my bigboard cam skatabo I'm playing against the other team You know, I think scat this is the first game where we're not playing all pro defensive tackles Um, so I'm gonna go cam scatabo in this game um and have a big one for me Kyle you have back to back picks I was shocked you have scaboo third. So what you had germam? My I love the sky blue Wilson and likely we're all interchangeable for me like okay grump made that decision easy I've not leaving like clear Wilson on the board for me Okay
Oh, I just know the giants are gonna run the ball shit, huh? NS air is there enough? Oh man. All right. I'm gonna just take Maliki neighbors to start stand rules neighbors. You got to fix this man. This is an issue. Yeah, okay, so the crazy fall off after this Right because everyone below here could get one point I'm like worry because I accidentally put Michael Wilson down to like someone pick board So I'm gonna go with Kendrick born and I'm gonna have to like panic pick a 12 uh Player while you guys do the rest of your all right Kendrick born off the board. I'm gonna go This is tough Because I don't know which receiver is gonna be involved. No, they're gonna get enough volume I don't trust Marvin like Marvin Harrison can very easily be a one-point guy I'm gonna go Safe this week Najie Harris coming off for good games. You know, he's gonna get carries
It's a very safe pick here. It's not gonna be a big boom game But maybe maybe get the touchdown, but I'm gonna go Najie Harris with my my third pick grump. You have your final two picks Yeah, give me a second here Um, I have one of them in my head, but I So so couple Things in here it feels like Malachi feels just slowly becoming more and more part of the like they really really want him in there He's being targeted these turnages a game basically, you know We're not throwing at that much either so that's what I'm not blaming him. I'm just saying He's like a very feels like a two catch per game kind of guy. Yeah, he still gets good targets though for facey purposes And mooney also is the only one really running routes down the field and being targeted He's our big play for it like if if you think hey Bobby who on the Giants of the 40 plus yard play it's easily darn out mooney I could see again like I'm I'm not gonna pick him But I could see Theo Johnson having a big game this week. The seams are gonna be open. You can't do it I mean he's had what one catch this year. You just he's been terrible. I can't do it
So I'm gonna go mooney and then I'm gonna go Tyler L. Gere. He gets a lot of carries per game. They use him a lot All right grump you Wait, you said you're gonna go mooney and then I Yeah, yeah, yep, all right, and let's ask you to pick Um I'm gonna go uh ma's to marf There's any game for him that would be one. I guess it would be this one He's been terrible, but this will be the game because he hasn't done anything It'll be against the Giants He's gonna get like 10 catches for 100 and it's such a huge talk. He's pointed about getting him involved and stuff You know, I feel like there might be like one eyeless, you know one last grass to get him involved Um, and we know the Giants like if there's one thing he is good at is kind of like those tight contested catches Yeah, they're vertical against the chargers and stuff and that's this is a good Giants secondary to get that again So I'm gonna go Marvin Harrison And then Kyle your your final pick I'm gonna go nail guy fields
Malachi Fields all right to recap Colin first place Tramick bride Malik neighbors Kendrick born Malachi fields I mean if you use to what is that preseason? I've been number one and number two in this I have Jeremiah love cam scataboo Naji hairs and Marvin Harris from junior grump 21 points back as they're likely a Michael Wilson d'Arno mooney and Tyler algae. All right. It's time for giant factors We give our x factor for the game Kyle you are up first this week Um, there's a couple different ways I could have gone with this one. I think this is gonna be a big game defensively actually this time other than not weather related Um, I'm gonna go with cave on tibetal I He's looking to get a contract year. He he needs to really step off the kind of prove That he's earned that money. I think we've talked a lot about how He his name alone is gonna fetch more money than what he his production might actually be worth I think this is a good chance for him to step into a role
It injury based regardless He needs to go out there and prove That he's earned like a legit contract to be an edge in the NFL Um, cave on you are a giant factor it's shocking how bad he's been these last three weeks and I'm again we have never been a show that's been delusional about what cave on tibito is um I guess even going back to the old show but like you know, I remember the 11 sacks season and I mean like they if there's one player that's primed to not head as production of this year It's cave on tibito Um, even in the midst of that And so you think contract year and stuff and it's just man. It's been a big Fat nothing burger now I know There's been talks about the jashing to get off the ball quicker you look at you know, Doug and look pose like you know to get off time and stuff Denard Wilson even referenced it The issue I think is that they are very much don't want to get gashed against the running which is rightfully so by denard Wilson
But and they're getting double team so much that they are they're not getting upfield and They're getting double team and it's just It's hard to win out of the edge, but you've got to be better than what you've been cave on tibito There'll be a giant factor. I kind of spooled mine in the in the first segment by fell is so important to talk about I'm gonna go or valries, you know Week one you saw good things and then gave up the touchdown week two was really bad against the run and obviously it gave up another Touched and coverage last week really stepped up. I mean really good impressive film You know, I'm not perfect, but impressive film. They're gonna test you this week right you're going against your rookie counterpart and Jeremiah love They're gonna they're gonna really test you in the run game Michael of Flur is going to see if you can play your coverage Responsibly in zone covers are gonna attack you with Jeremiah Jeremiah loving that part of the game Tramack bride is certainly going to be a part of that equation So our valries this is a game To really show that you've grown from what you were those first two weeks continue building on that our valries be a giant factor
Grunt you're yeah, I went with something Pretty basic. I didn't want to have to do this, but James We got to be better. We were bring it. We're trading way assets for Jay Jim McCarthy You know, that is what it is that's beyond the scope like this is a game Want to know t-shirts you guys are wearing them around in this game you need to be better I cannot see another 115 yard passing game this this has to change and you know We can sit here and talk about scheme guys getting open guys fighting for the ball quarterback play has to be better get on the same page do what you've got to do in practice this week make it happen I don't want to have to make excuses like the rain or jumping into it like it's just done now You have to keep this job and you have to put points on the board I want to see the ball thrown down the field there are shots to be had put some confidence in the coaches James when is in your name
James be a giants factor You know, I was a little disappointed in Kyle last week because you know part of the Danny King legacy is always picking the backup quarterback as a giant factor Just poor poor uh You know you know you know honor you're supposed to honor those that come before you Kyle not you know pass on their legacy um But and I did I almost thought about picking James too, but I'm not gonna pick the quarterback as the as the giant as the x factor He's you know, he's the factor essentially in this game, but it really is like if this game's bad man like There will be the first you know the first topic of all these you know radio shows and stupid shit Do you start a jg macaw through this week? You know uh like don't don't don't do that you know play well, you know I gave you if you don't play well this game you know obviously I pushed back against the offensive scheme and I think that was a major issue last week against the Titans But James still has to play better within that on hopefully they put more in his hands and they you know what if he does well
You know he can uh, you know, they may be a little more comfortable putting some stuff in his hands All right spread picks I am still in first place at 12 and 12 with a three and five record last week Kyle and listeners both went three and five listeners 11 13 Kyle 9 and 15 grump two and six last week he has five and 19 Thursday night football Steelers at Browns plus two and a half way to send our picks and early because it's happening right now Roman Wilson just scored a touchdown once make it feel a lot better because I am going Steelers minus two and a half I'm oh and three on Thursday night football I will I almost went Browns and then I picked Steelers because of like you know what I think I trust me my boy Patrick Graham To get the win. I'm not buying in on this Browns bull crap Listen is represented by Lucas are going Steelers grump who are you going? Uh, I sent my pick in it's already I went Cleveland I'm not buying either of these teams right now. Yeah, I hate both these teams honestly. Yeah, so I mean this was almost the coin flip
Cleveland actually I don't know. I don't know what to think. I'm just going to Cleveland Kyle I will Cleveland uh Cowboys add Texans minus two and a half oh and three versus one and two dumb old Texas uh Cowboys just added Joey Porter Jr I'm gonna go Cowboys plus two and a half the Texas offense hasn't been up to snuff but Even if they do play better the Texas offense has been so bad that I just I'm just expecting the Cowboys outscore the Texans listeners went Cowboys grump who do you got? I got Cowboys Cow Cowboys oh Shit That's gross uh rams at Eagles plus three and a half. What do you have in this one, huh? I have the rams. I just I don't like the way the Eagles look right now. He's bad So I'll take the Rams even though the Rams don't look like their usual selves. I'll take them over the Eagles right now
This was a hard week for like a lot of these I you know, usually I'm just quick right down I had to really think about these in fact in my head I was gonna go Browns and Eagles because like every time Eagles rams like oh the Rams are gonna win this game and the Eagles just pull it out But because the Eagles are missing D'Avantish myth and Dallas Goddard I'm gonna go Rams minus three and a half as well too if they had both those guys I'd actually picked the Eagles but for that reason going Rams listeners are going Rams grump is it a clean sweep? But your microphone on yeah, I unmuted it and then muted it. It's a clean too bad Uh, there's also a chance that Puka plays this week now, so Yeah, Mcdaybase he said he was so The undefeated chiefs at the undefeated Raiders Plus four and a half Raiders grump. Who do you have in this one? I Went Raiders of the points
At some point this has to end and I think Kansas City's the one that ends it um Beanimy looks like a pretty damn good offense a coordinator with them obviously reads calling the plays, but you do see some of the difference there um Kenneth Walker leading the league and rushing I'm gonna go cheese minus four and a half. I'm gonna bet against the Raiders because eventually that's gonna have to pay off So I'm going there. How do you got? I got the cheese. They're definitely a curb stop the Raiders Uh, and then listeners went cheese as well Tough one of the tougher ones Jags at bingles minus two and a half. Who do you have in this one grump? This was tough. This was probably the hardest one for me um because every time I feel like the bangles are just like they look dominant and then they get they lose the next week. So um I'm I'm gonna go Jacksonville on this one. It was close to a coin flip, but I think I think I believe a little bit more in what's steady in Jacksonville than all of the plays in
I think our boy Dex and Jonathan now I think they're gonna cause interior pressure and that's where Trevor Lawrence has always been They worse. I'm gonna go bingles minus two and a half listeners. We're going in Jags cow. Who do you got? I got the Jags listeners represent by Lucas by the way Can I say something to our our patreon Two weeks in a row The picker and the backup picker don't respond. I have to put it out uh to our socials of like first come first serve Got it got it got it got it. You got to check your your emails Broncos at 49ers minus two and a half this game. This is a game right here like this is Is this this is guy before a clock right because I want to watch this game. I hope so man Let me look at broncos 49ers cow while I look at how put you got I got the 49ers I'm hoping tray will uh Williams is coming back right his week to week Trent trend Williams trail homes. I don't know I yeah, he got hurt But then they said that it wasn't as bad as they thought and he got caught off which there seems to be a freeze
It seems like there there's a crazy amount of injuries where guys he caught off and are week to week afterwards Like that's kind of nuts for it. I mean, I always felt this way right the card is sitting there Like mice will use it just drive him You know what I mean like you remember when like that preseason game where Odell like got slammed by the The Browns safety or whatever. Yeah Greg Williams is Ed hunting Yeah, he like walked up the tunnel and then he just like broke down in the tunnel like just just get on the card. Who cares like Yeah, you just don't do the Caleb Williams thing you can you can get on the card and just not well obviously Yeah um Listen has been 49. I'm gonna go Broncos, you know uh, I know it's not the Bryan Flores defense But it is kind of that aggressive with Shanahan. It's always struggled against that I mean again the Broncos defense is not the bike because I don't want to say that But I'm just gonna think the Broncos in this one. I think they I think they got one out Uh, so you went 49ers grump
Wow, you didn't ask me but I did yes You're right. I didn't ask you um Lions at Panthers plus three and a half But before I ask for your pick over under the loser 30 points Goring the loser scores 30 points. Yeah, over. Yeah. Oh, it's got to be over Uh, I'm gonna go Panthers plus three and a half. I'll take the point the lions I went from the number one lions got to I'm just totally all out on them Panthers plus three and a half listeners went lions grump. Who do you got? I mean, I'm out on the lions, but I'm picking them for this game Dude, you got to support the home team. No, I don't Uh, Kyle who do you got I'll take the points with the Panthers And then finally Monday night football The one and two Falcons at the one and two Saints battle for first place in the NFC South
Saints are favored by two and a half points Kyle who do you have in this one I'm gonna take the Falcons I don't know what to think of the Falcons they obviously burned to some Thursday night football listeners are going Falcons grump Who do you got? I'm gonna go to New Orleans. I know Michael Pennings lit it up And we're gonna act like that was the only change that was needed But Thursday night football is always weird. You get a team on short rest You know, you can install stuff when you get a new guy in there that teams aren't ready for now. It's on tape Kalimor's good coach. I'm gonna go to New Orleans. It's a tough pick though I'm not betting on my gopanics back to back games. I'm gonna go Saints minus two and a half as Well, all right that spread picks it is now time for Arizona Cardinals at New York Giants one o'clock legacy uniforms for the boys Kyle what is your score prediction of Cardinals that Giants? I originally thought that the weather was gonna be a bigger factor of this game We were talking about a little bit before the show that it looked like it was gonna rain for the whole game
And so I was really expecting another sloppy like just slug thus But it looks like it's gonna be nicer till about the end of the game. Maybe second half. So we'll see some scoring. Maybe I'll slow off um I'm ready to go with the Giants 24 Cardinals 21 I'm hoping that we do enough But it's gonna be really tough to stop this run game. I don't think we could stop them from scoring that much But I think 21 is reasonable enough. I think the Giants can put up 24 and good conditions Grown I like where Kyle is headed here I think that this is a game which the Giants can score some touchdowns But we're still not very good. Um, I think that We're gonna have to we're the defense is gonna need help from the offense And I think that we'll do enough to kick some extra field goals to uh To put ourselves ahead I think the Giants win this one a tight one a nail-biter 2321 So who you are show you who you are You James Winston remind people why you were extended a couple weeks ago Do not put us in the situation where you were you know, we're calling for a third quarterback
In five weeks. Just nobody nobody wants that nobody wants to play a third quarterback in five weeks john Harball You know the Giants the Giants players said last week like oh, we would have blown that game last week And you know what I think the the difference in the Giants doesn't really necessarily show up in that specific You know if Ken Ward doesn't throw stupid paths. We were in a very different situation But the round is is you're judged by your wins and losses You beat the Titans that are a bad team the Cardinals are not a good team But they are not a they're not a terrible can't play football team either Show that you win this game not just by holding off to a fourth quarter lead Just show that you are the better team i guess the Arizona Cardinals because guess what with john Harball you are the better team Giants 77 Cardinals zero get on out of here go back to Arizona where you came from tacos and burritos We appreciate you guys. We'll see you when we see you until then let's go big
