Welcome into a week seventeen Giants

0:02

Hangout, brought to you by Crestron. I'm Madeline

0:04

Burke, joined by Brandon London and that sidetacking

0:07

guys. Giants the penultimate

0:09

game of the season back at MetLife

0:11

Stadium hosting the La Rams

0:13

on Sunday afternoon. But of course, big news this week

0:16

Brian Ables saying that the Giants are

0:18

going with Tyrod Taylor as the starting quarterback

0:20

Matt and that was, you know, the big announcement

0:22

that he made before the team started practicing.

0:25

What does this do for this Giants offense?

0:28

Yeah, so I think you know, we saw in the second

0:31

half of the Eagles game and what it does to the

0:33

offense. Coach said earlier in the week

0:35

that he decided to go with Tyrod

0:37

to give the offense a spark, which

0:39

is exactly what Tyrod did. I mean in

0:42

the first half of the Eagles game with

0:44

Giants total three points, one hundred yards

0:46

of offense. Second half, Tyrod

0:48

comes in, they double the amount of yardage,

0:50

score two touchdowns, not including

0:53

the adore A pick six. I

0:55

mean, Tyrod obviously is a thirteen

0:57

fourteen year veteran, He's just he's a more

1:00

established quarterback, you

1:02

know, to lead the offense than Tommy. Nothing against

1:04

Tommy. Tommy was great during the

1:06

stretch in which he started and

1:08

taking nothing away from him. But Tyrod,

1:11

He's been around the league significantly longer,

1:14

and the biggest thing I think he does is he

1:16

just opens up the deep passing game. And we

1:18

saw it with the deep touchdown to

1:20

Darius Slayden. I mean with Tommy,

1:22

I don't think he even attempted a pass that went beyond

1:25

ten yards. With Tyrod, I think

1:27

Kafka table. They just feel a little more

1:29

comfortable opening up the playbook more and

1:32

you know, taking more chances down the field.

1:34

You hit it on the head, Matt, Like, Tyrod

1:37

gives you what twelve

1:39

am on New Year's gives you. What

1:42

do you do at twelve am in New Years? We do

1:45

shots? Shots, shot shots, shots.

1:47

I was like, you find something

1:49

cute to kiss,

1:53

you're taking shots, and that's what this Giants.

1:55

You have to have that in this Giants offense. And

1:57

it's kind of like Tommy DeVito

2:00

started off with that in a sense. We saw the

2:02

Washington Commander's game, we saw the

2:05

Green Bay game, how he was able to get the

2:07

ball downfield, but if you see some of his worst

2:09

games, his worst performances,

2:11

he's not putting the ball downfield

2:14

or he's not connecting on the ball downfield.

2:16

We saw that with the Saints game with some mishaps with

2:18

he and Darius Slayton. So you need

2:20

that in the offense. One as a receiver like

2:24

Darius Slayton, Jalen Hyatt,

2:26

that's our bread and butter for those type

2:28

of guys. They are down the field receivers.

2:31

And then you think about how that helps the run game.

2:33

When Darius Slayton ran that corner route

2:35

and kept it high with the high angle, beautiful

2:38

way to read the coverage on Red

2:40

Blankenship. Red Blankenship

2:42

was had his heels at about eight to nine

2:45

yards. Why because he was ready

2:47

to come up and play the run. You know.

2:49

So this keeps a defense honest,

2:51

keeps them in some sort of too high

2:54

look to keep those safeties out of the box,

2:56

and then you can get more out of the running game.

2:58

So ty Rod coming in, he's know, hopefully

3:01

there's no mishaps with the clock, you know, all that

3:03

stuff. You don't want to see that with a thirteen

3:05

year event. Whether the rest wasn't

3:07

putting the spot in the ball or anything. That's the second

3:09

time since he's kind of

3:11

taken over the ones and twos where there's

3:13

been some sort of mismanagement when it

3:15

came to the clock at the end of a quarter or

3:18

I mean at the end of a half. So you don't

3:20

want to see that going forward. But with Brian

3:22

Dable naming t two the starting

3:25

quarterback, if I'm a Jalen Hyatt, I'm a Darius

3:27

Slayton, I got all smiles on my

3:29

face because now I know my skill

3:31

set is going to be used well.

3:33

And with all credit and respect to what

3:36

Tyrod was able to do for this Giants offense in

3:38

the second half of that game against last

3:40

weekend's the Eagles, you got to give it a little

3:42

bit more credit to to the defense, right because

3:44

not only yes, there was a change of quarterback,

3:47

but coming into that second

3:49

half, there was, you know, a turnover

3:51

on special teams Boston Scott, the usual Giant

3:53

killer, poffed up the ball, put the Giants in good

3:55

field position a Dori Jackson

3:58

had to pick six. You know, there are a couple of aways

4:00

from this Giants defense as well that

4:03

put the Giants in a good

4:05

position and that is I

4:08

think more of an impact

4:10

as well, because that's one of the things we've been talking about all

4:12

season. The key to this Giants' success,

4:14

even during that three game winning streak with Tommy Devido

4:17

as the quarterback, was winning the turnover

4:19

battle, was the defense. Was the pressure they

4:21

were able to put on the opposing offenses and also

4:24

taking that ball away at a good

4:26

position of the field to make it easier make

4:28

the field shorter for this offense.

4:30

Yeah, last year. Last year this team played

4:32

a lot better complimentary football offense,

4:35

not turning the ball over there able to score

4:37

when the defense got them the ball. I think this year,

4:40

what one thinging that at

4:42

the end of the season we can kind

4:44

of all agree on is this twenty

4:47

twenty three Giants team only went as

4:49

far as the defense. Wink Martindale

4:51

was probably the most MBC

4:54

most viable coordinator because

4:56

the way that he got the defense to in some

4:58

games to go and play light out and

5:00

to grab turnovers with that during

5:02

that win streak, I think they like almost

5:05

doubled in terms of turnovers from the

5:07

next team and the amount of turn turnovers

5:09

calls during that that three game win

5:11

strength win streak, so we were seeing

5:14

it with our very eyes. If defense

5:16

can't get takeaways and get extra possessions

5:18

for the offense, offense is really

5:21

not scoring. The offense is lethargic and

5:23

caught in some sort of bad rhythm

5:25

in a sense. So the Giants

5:27

defense against this Rams offense,

5:29

Matthew, Stafford, Pookah,

5:32

Cooper, Cup Higbee again,

5:34

you're gonna have to have one of those lights out performances.

5:36

But in the day, matt or

5:39

these last two games, where as

5:41

a player, I know I'm getting

5:43

evaluated for two reasons, either to

5:45

stay on here or to get

5:48

catch on and get my money elsewhere. These

5:50

guys are gonna have to go out and continue to play lights

5:52

out to get their bag, whether here in New York

5:55

or somewhere else. But at the end

5:57

of the day, this deep, this team

5:59

goes as far as the defense

6:02

will.

6:02

Take them, oh

6:04

one hundred percent. I mean, I know, you know,

6:06

it's a popular fan opinion

6:08

I've seen on Twitter every day now

6:10

for you know a while saying,

6:13

you know, you know, it would be better for the Giants

6:15

to not win any of these final games.

6:17

And Brandon, you know, as a form of player,

6:20

like when You're a player preparing

6:22

all week for a game that is so

6:25

not even remotely in your mind

6:27

in the slightest bit, like you are going

6:30

out there and you are busting your

6:32

tail each and every single play, as

6:34

you just mentioned, like you're either fighting to

6:37

keep your spot on the team or putting good

6:39

tape out there as a sort of tryout

6:41

for another team if you do, you know, if you

6:44

move on from the Giants this season. So

6:46

I don't know, you know, no hesitation,

6:48

no worries at all about the players coming out

6:51

motivated trying to win. And I

6:53

think it's a little extra motivation as well that these

6:55

last two final games, starting with Sunday

6:57

against the Rams and then the Eagles next week, these

7:00

are against two playoff teams and two teams that are

7:02

still fighting for things that

7:04

you know matter in the playoff standings. The Rams

7:06

are fighting for a wildcard spot, the

7:08

Eagles are still fighting for both the NFC

7:10

East and the number one seed in the conference.

7:12

And the Giants will love nothing more.

7:15

Than to ruin both of these team seasons

7:17

by winning these last two games. And

7:20

you know, Brandon, you mentioned the defense

7:22

and how the team kind of goes with

7:24

how far the defense takes them. And I think you're one hundred

7:26

percent right. And I think the biggest thing

7:28

for these last final two games,

7:31

despite you know, the strong play that we've seen from

7:33

Stafford lately and from Jalen Hurts

7:35

all season, is the run

7:38

defense. I mean, this has been an

7:40

achilles heel, you can say of the Giants

7:42

going all the way back to last year. You know,

7:44

going into this week seventeen matchup, I think

7:46

they ranked thirty first in rushing yards,

7:48

like thirtieth in rushing yards per attempt,

7:51

like towards the bottom of the league. And these

7:53

next two matchups are against two teams that love

7:56

to run the football and do it extremely

7:58

well. I mean Kyrien Will since

8:00

he returned from injured reserves the last five

8:02

games, he's averaging I think it's one hundred

8:05

and twenty rushing yards per game. The Rams

8:07

are averaging over one hundred and sixty rushing

8:09

yards per game, and that has helped open

8:11

up the entire offense. That is what helped Stafford

8:14

really get into this. You know, MVP

8:17

shape and look that he's been the last five

8:19

games has been the dominance

8:21

of their run game. So going into this

8:23

game and next week's game as well.

8:26

The run defense is the area that I think the

8:28

defense the Giants really going to need to step

8:30

up in order to pull off these upset

8:32

victories.

8:33

Well, and Matt, you mentioned Karen Williams.

8:35

I mean, this is a player.

8:35

He's one of just three players in the NFL

8:37

right now to average over one hundred yards per per

8:40

one hundred scrimmage yards per game and

8:43

have ten or more touchdowns on the season. It's

8:45

Kyen Williams, Christian McCaffrey,

8:47

and Tyreek Hill. That's the company

8:49

that this young man is in right now. And not

8:52

just because of how great he's been able to run the

8:54

ball, but also the fact that the receivers, the

8:56

very talented Rams receiving core does

8:58

take a lot of pride in run blowing and Brandon

9:00

like as a receiver, there's

9:03

a lot of guys who are like, hey, listen, get me

9:05

the rock, get me the ball in my hands. But to

9:07

have the ability and the pride

9:10

in blocking for the run as well, that's a different

9:12

skill.

9:12

Set absolutely, and it just

9:15

takes me back to my rookie year with Plexic Buris.

9:17

I'm not going to name the receiver he was talking

9:19

to, but somebody put a lack

9:21

of effort on tape and practice one

9:24

time and plaques in the back of the room.

9:26

Sitting back there in the little country, Virginia.

9:29

Hey, dog, we block around

9:31

here. Dog. I don't want to see that again, you

9:33

know what I'm saying. Like, I will always remember

9:35

that because when I went on with the Dolphins, I

9:37

prided myself when I tried to make the team with the Steelers,

9:40

pride of myself. Even when I went up to Canada, I was getting

9:42

in fights and stuff because you're trying to George Kittle

9:45

earth people to the ground and stuff. So

9:47

you're that's and that's the

9:49

dangerous part about it, because you got two

9:51

receivers in Cooper and Pooka

9:54

that not only will they try and get in you

9:56

and get themselves going in the run game,

9:59

but then all all of that they can catch,

10:02

they're strong, they're going to break tackles,

10:04

and they can get Yet this Giants

10:06

defense has their hands full, not only with Kyen

10:08

Williams, not only with him running the ball.

10:10

But like you said, Mallan, the yards

10:12

from scrimmage is the dangerous

10:15

part of it because you look at the success that

10:17

breist Hall had. You look at the success

10:19

of Alvin Kamaro, these backs, getting these

10:21

catches out of the backfield and then

10:24

being able to make a big play in space

10:26

against this Giants defense. So I

10:28

think that this is this offense

10:30

and the way it's run is

10:33

probably the most dangerous offense

10:35

that the Giants have faced since

10:37

the forty nine ers. You know, I know, everyone likes

10:39

the Cowboys and Phillies got there, you

10:41

know, their their thing going. But I think

10:43

that in terms of the balance of this

10:46

offense, n Martindal in this defense is

10:48

going to have to put on their big boy pants, put on their

10:50

big their thinking caps, and they're

10:52

going to have to have themselves almost

10:55

a perfect game. You know. I'm thinking two turnovers

10:58

is what's gonna give this Giants team a chance

11:00

to win this game.

11:02

Yeah, I mean, I could not agree more. I

11:04

Mean, Wink even said it himself in his press

11:06

conference with the media earlier today. Stafford

11:09

is playing at a Hall of Fame level

11:11

these last five weeks, and Wink

11:13

we even went so far as to say that

11:15

right now he thinks the MVP race should be between

11:18

Stafford and Lamar Jackson. So Wink

11:21

obviously has a tendency to

11:23

to overly praise the.

11:25

Upcoming apartment very high. Yeah

11:28

yeah, but he's.

11:29

Not wrong with that with that assessment.

11:31

I mean, Stafford has been playing absolutely

11:33

lights out the last five weeks. I believe

11:35

his touchdown at interception ratio

11:37

is about it's fourteen to one, and

11:40

they've been just playing overall

11:42

complimentary football on the offense.

11:44

I mean, you guys mentioned with Hookah, Cooper

11:47

Cup, even DeMarcus Robinson, all of the

11:49

receivers getting into it with

11:51

the run blocking. I mean we've seen across

11:53

the league with some other teams like the Steelers

11:56

for example, where you have receivers on

11:58

the goal line just not blocking of their running

12:00

backs. You are not going to see that with this

12:02

Rams offense. All of their uh,

12:05

all of their wide receivers love to get

12:07

into it in the run blocking, love

12:09

to throw these those big blocks and pave the

12:11

way for kyn Williams. And

12:14

in terms of you know, receiving, honestly

12:17

think that Cooper Cup and Pooka Nicole might

12:19

be the top wide receiver duo in

12:21

the NFL this year.

12:23

I mean, well you know who, you know who Rams

12:25

fans can think that Matthew Stafford

12:27

is playing at such a high level. They

12:29

can thank Blueface the rapper, because

12:32

he was at he had some suite

12:34

at a RAMS game and he had some women

12:37

dancing and and I guess we could

12:39

say torquing on the hangout, right, we hang it out

12:44

on some cash around and Matthew Stafford's

12:46

wife called him out on x

12:48

or Twitter and then Blueface came

12:51

back and was like, your bum husband

12:53

is like the reason while we're not good and like

12:55

he needs the x y Z. Since

12:57

then, Matthew Stafford has

12:59

been red Face because this dude has

13:02

been bawling since then, So you

13:04

know, I thought I'd just throw that in there.

13:06

I hope hang out for Kelly

13:08

Stafford versus Blueface feuds are

13:10

broken down.

13:13

I mean not know though.

13:14

That was a pretty significant

13:16

moment in the RAMS season.

13:18

I think it's been a turnaround. It's been an absolute

13:20

turnaround and they got it. And

13:22

it goes back to seven my rookie

13:24

year. Getting hot at

13:27

the right time. You know, you want to start

13:29

fast because that's going to help you at the end.

13:31

We're not having to win three out of four

13:34

to get that wild card spot or win the division.

13:36

But when you get hot at the right

13:38

time heading into the playoffs. I

13:41

think we all can agree that this Rams team

13:43

is a team that no team in the playoffs

13:45

wants to see.

13:46

Well because they're peaking at the right time

13:48

right They've won five of the last six games. They

13:50

put up twenty eight or more points in each of their

13:52

last five outings. That you know,

13:54

they're healthy and on the field together right

13:57

now at this point in the season, and matt like

13:59

a ailability is the best ability. We talk about

14:01

that and that's why, you know, Giants fans and coaches

14:04

and the like are praising Bobby

14:06

Okareca and Xavier McKinney for being you

14:08

know, two of the what three defensive players

14:11

in the league to play one hundred percent of the snaps.

14:12

But you know, for the Rams, when you've.

14:14

Got Matthew Stafford, Phukinakua, Cooper

14:17

Cup all finally healthy on the field together,

14:19

of course, his offense is hitting its stride.

14:22

Yeah, definitely. And you cannot

14:24

leave Kyron Williams out of that group either,

14:26

because we've been talking about this, you

14:29

know surge of the Rams offense

14:31

has had the last five weeks that coincides

14:33

with Kyron coming off of IR.

14:35

I mean when his return really

14:38

just opened everything up for the offense,

14:40

and all members of the offense

14:42

have been firing on all cylinders

14:44

since then. The run game, all

14:46

the receivers, I mean, DeMarcus Robinson kind

14:49

of came out of nowhere as the third receiver. He's

14:51

been great over the last month. Tyler

14:53

Higbee's been getting in the action. They're getting their

14:55

rookie tight end into the into it as

14:57

well. I mean Stafford, while his

15:00

top two targets are undoubtedly

15:03

Cooper Cup and Puka Nakua, he's still

15:05

been spreading the ball out a little bit to the other guys

15:07

as well, keeping everyone involved. And

15:09

I mean, if I were

15:12

one of the you know, division winners

15:14

in the NFC, of all three

15:16

teams that could potentially take the three

15:18

wild card spots, the Rams are

15:20

by far the number one team I would want

15:22

to face the least, and nothing against

15:24

the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys obviously have

15:26

been great, but I would rather face

15:29

Dak and that team than Stafford

15:31

and the Rams with the way they've been playing the last

15:33

five weeks.

15:34

And it's because you're playing a team without all

15:36

the hype, you know, the Cowboys come

15:38

with that hype and it's like, uh, you

15:41

know, like like you can easily beat a team

15:43

with the hype because they would be feeling themselves.

15:45

And I know the Cowboys are kind of wounded when it comes

15:47

to when they get into the playoffs and what history

15:49

has shown. But you're talking about that, like

15:52

you said that Rams team where it's like everybody's

15:55

healthy and everybody is

15:57

balling right now, and you still have an

15:59

Aaron Donald on defense, you still

16:01

have uh

16:02

uh Raheem Raheem

16:05

not Raheem Sterling, he plays soccer defensive

16:08

coordinator Morris,

16:11

that guy's been a head coach. That guy that

16:14

was a head coach because he was such a solid

16:16

defensive coordinator. So this

16:18

team is this team has been constructed, uh

16:22

with with cheap with with I don't

16:24

want to say cheap, but with late draft picks

16:26

Cooper Cups and Kyra Williams and those guys.

16:28

You got your stars in there as well.

16:30

But you also have some competent coordinators

16:33

and play callers and Sean mcvaym Rae

16:35

Morris, and again this is this is

16:37

a team that if I'm Bobbyocaraka,

16:39

you want to ball out because if you ball out

16:42

this game, it only helps for your Pro Bowl if

16:44

I'm Michael McFadden not ball out, it helps

16:46

me be a solidified starter in

16:48

this league. Xavier McKinney,

16:51

you're you're up for a bag. Jason

16:54

Pennock. You saw Dame Belton getting

16:56

a lot of reps this past game, so

16:58

you want to hold off the young guy

17:01

you know going forward. So this is one of those games

17:03

you got to come up put some good stuff on tape.

17:05

Well and Brendan, you mentioned how the Rams have built

17:07

through the draft and built with these late draft

17:09

picks as well, which also that right

17:11

there is an example of why Giants

17:14

fans or really any fans out there saying

17:16

tank for a number one pick, tank for a better draft

17:18

pick. It doesn't matter where you're picking, as long as

17:21

you are, you know, picking the right

17:23

players. Right because Pukanakua one hundred

17:25

and seventy seven overall selection,

17:28

and he is only one hundred and forty seven receiving

17:30

yards away for recording

17:32

the most receiving yards by a rookie

17:35

wide receiver in NFL history, and

17:37

this is a fifth round draft pick, late round

17:39

draft pick. He's one hundred and forty seven yards in two games.

17:42

That is incredible talent and

17:44

I think a lot of it too is because you know, we talked

17:46

about how going to Tyrod Taylor is

17:49

going to open up the deep pass for the Giants. I think we're going

17:51

to be seeing a lot of deep passes in this game on Sunday

17:53

too, because Matthew Stafford sends it down the field.

17:55

He is top five in the lead right in the league

17:58

right now in completion percentage, passing and

18:00

passer rating on deep passes

18:02

in this season. So the fact

18:04

that he's getting the ball downfield, the receivers are getting

18:06

out there quick. That's something that this Giants

18:09

defense is going to have to look at too. And talking about

18:11

some of those dbs that you mentioned that are trying to put

18:13

some good tape out there because maybe they're up at.

18:15

The end of the year.

18:16

Maybe they just you don't want to have that

18:18

solid resume tape.

18:20

You know.

18:21

I'm curious if Wink's going to be playing

18:23

some more zone again like he has been in recent

18:25

weeks, if he's going to stick to the man coverage that seems

18:27

to have been working well for this team, How

18:29

this team defends these deep

18:32

balls.

18:32

Matt Yeah,

18:34

I mean, it's definitely going to be

18:36

one of the toughest challenges of the season

18:39

for this Giants defense, because as

18:41

you said, Stafford loves taking the deep shots.

18:44

But if you try to, you know, put some players,

18:46

you put your safeties back and sort of play

18:49

for that, they're just gonna Stafford's

18:51

gonna call an audible at the line, give it to Kien

18:53

Williams, and he's going to gass you for you

18:55

know, seven eight yards of carry. So you

18:57

can't. That's why this it's so difficult

19:00

to try to match up against this team because

19:02

they really can do a little of

19:04

everything. And not only can they do everything,

19:06

but they can do everything well, and they have

19:08

been doing it well. And they've really hit their stride

19:11

this last month at the perfect time. I

19:13

mean, they were going into the season,

19:16

not many people expected this Rams team

19:19

to be, you know, in a playoff

19:21

contender come week seventeen. There

19:23

were very low expectations in

19:25

terms of like what experts and analysts

19:27

around the NFL media landscape

19:30

were saying about this team. Now all

19:32

of a sudden, they are the hottest team in

19:34

all the football on a team that nobody wants

19:36

to play, and it's because they are. They've

19:39

proven that they can just do anything

19:42

that Sean McVay asked for. You

19:44

know, we've been on this call doing this for

19:46

twenty minutes now. This is the first time we've

19:48

even mentioned Sean mcvay's name. Who

19:51

you know, two years ago, everyone was considered

19:54

sorry Brandon mentioned.

19:55

It once, but he was considered that.

19:57

He was considered to be like the number

19:59

one offensive mine in the league. And

20:02

I feel like because of how well

20:04

Stafford Pukah, Kyrie Williams,

20:06

Cooper Cup has been playing, that some of the shine

20:08

has kind of been taken away from

20:10

McVeigh and he's

20:13

clearly proven that he is one

20:15

of the best coaches or at least offensive

20:17

mines in the league and just need to tip

20:19

their hat to him.

20:21

Wink is going to be searching for Antoine

20:23

Fisher because he's going to be playing the

20:25

ultimate chess match this week, not

20:27

only against an offensive coordinator like

20:29

Sean McVay who can call plays, but a

20:31

quarterback that's seen it all already.

20:34

You try and blitz, he's gonna see

20:36

that audible up out of there. And lastly,

20:38

because I know we got to get out here of Medlin with the time clombing

20:40

down. If you're a Giants fan, and you're

20:43

saying tank, but you're also saying in Joe

20:45

Shane, we trust. I'm sorry.

20:47

I love how Carl Banks says two things can

20:49

be true, but that can't be true. You can't

20:51

say two things, and that you got to allow

20:54

Joe Shane to do what the rams GM does

20:56

and go find some really good talent for

20:59

a nice little Walmart rollback

21:01

price in the draft or

21:03

a free agency well.

21:04

And also, you play to win the game.

21:06

To quote the former Arizona

21:08

State football head coach for Edwards, he played

21:10

to win the game. And you know, these

21:12

guys are professionals. They're going out on the field playing

21:14

for themselves their teammates to win the game. Brian

21:17

Ables coaching a team to win a game, not

21:19

to you know, look ahead to April and all

21:21

that.

21:22

You know.

21:22

One more note though on Sean.

21:23

McVay, and you know Matt you brought up

21:25

just like how good he is, and he has been such an elite

21:27

coach in this season. You know we're seeing almost

21:29

another level unlocked. I have a theory,

21:32

and Brandon, I think you, of all of us, can absolutely

21:34

verify this if this is true. I

21:36

think I've noticed this around not just the

21:38

league, but just in life in general. Sean

21:41

McVay earlier this year had his

21:43

first child, a son, and I

21:45

think that that inspired something.

21:47

And he's like, now that I'm a dad, I'm

21:50

rising to the occasion even more. There's

21:52

something about the dad juice, right, Like,

21:54

Okay, I'm stepping into this next chapter.

21:57

I got a family to provide for let's

21:59

level up. And I feel like we've seen that from Sean

22:01

McVay this season. Brandon as

22:03

a relatively new father yourself. Can

22:06

you confirm this theory absolutely?

22:08

The baby got me out the streets. The

22:10

baby. The baby gotta be

22:12

producing content, writing scripts,

22:15

doing all that all while feeding

22:17

the baby. He's eating bananas now.

22:19

But I am so busied and productive

22:21

now because of him. So, you know, congratulations

22:24

to Sean McVay.

22:26

Love to see it, Love to see it.

22:28

The baby juice works for people

22:31

across the league.

22:33

Gotta let it work for you, though. You Gotta let it work.

22:35

Gotta let it work, gotta let it work, all right, well, Giants

22:38

Rams Sunday at one pm

22:40

22:42

22:44
