- 0:32Speaker 1: Osier coming up here we are. I never know what's
- 0:36Speaker 1: coming out of Joe's mouth. Josh, I had no idea
- 0:39Speaker 1: where that came from. It felt like you were like
- 0:41Speaker 1: the fourth or fifth wheel of the Manning family. I
- 0:44Speaker 1: don't don't really get it. Well, there's what. There's three brothers, right,
- 0:47Speaker 1: There's Cooper, Eli and Peyton. Correct. Cooper is the kind
- 0:51Speaker 1: of the law. He was kind of lost in the
- 0:53Speaker 1: shof He played football too very briefly, not as long
- 0:56Speaker 1: as you know, not an NFL career, obviously. I can't
- 1:01Speaker 1: see you being a part of that family for for
- 1:03Speaker 1: some I mean mainly because you went to Alabama. That's
- 1:05Speaker 1: the only reason. Well mainly I'm yeah, not anything to
- 1:08Speaker 1: do with your athletic ability, but just Alabama because I
- 1:12Speaker 1: can keep up. You haven't seen me throw a football yet.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Flag football. That's about it. Maybe so plenty to get
- 1:20Speaker 1: to today. Let's get to our big three things today.
- 1:22Speaker 1: A week one preview the Jags and the New York
- 1:24Speaker 1: Football Giants coming up Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rotherborg,
- 1:28Speaker 1: New Jersey. Will break down that game. Former Giants kicker
- 1:32Speaker 1: Lawrence Times will join us over the phone. He was
- 1:35Speaker 1: also with the Chiefs for a little bit early in
- 1:38Speaker 1: his career with the Bucks at the very end. And
- 1:39Speaker 1: then Social Scobee, Yes, the social butterfly Josh Scobie will
- 1:44Speaker 1: answer your social media questions today. I know you've been
- 1:49Speaker 1: eagerly anticipating that segment each and every week. Well, I
- 1:53Speaker 1: anticipated every day because I'm on social media every day.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I love to interact with the fans and have fun
- 2:00Speaker 1: people and see how smart and dumb people can actually be.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So hopefully we get a good question uh in before
- 2:07Speaker 1: we actually get to that segment. I just sent another
- 2:10Speaker 1: tweet out Okay, we're okay, we're getting response to real
- 2:13Speaker 1: time response. Hopefully we get an actual good question other
- 2:17Speaker 1: than the one that we just saw. So you used
- 2:20Speaker 1: to you use it sometimes to show off your prowess
- 2:23Speaker 1: on the golf course. We'll get to that coming up
- 2:24Speaker 1: a little later. Today's show off, we don't want to
- 2:28Speaker 1: don't show it right now. We'll get to that a
- 2:29Speaker 1: little later. What happened today for you on the court?
- 2:32Speaker 1: You had a busy day. It looked like it was
- 2:34Speaker 1: another busy, tough day. Front nine was stuff. That's that's
- 2:39Speaker 1: I'll take that rough day. We start most shows here,
- 2:42Speaker 1: all shows we've done by looking at your shirt for
- 2:44Speaker 1: the day from d t w D Originals. D t
- 2:47Speaker 1: w D Originals. Another thank you from them. This one
- 2:51Speaker 1: says duvol versus all y'all. So I figured it's pretty
- 2:55Speaker 1: fitting for this week. I mean, this is week one.
- 2:58Speaker 1: This is when it's Xonville Duvoal Jaguars versus everybody else.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So I think the team is ready. My shirt is
- 3:07Speaker 1: definitely ready, So it's time to roll. The person wearing
- 3:11Speaker 1: the shirt, are you ready? I'm not ready because I
- 3:14Speaker 1: haven't stretched out. I mean I'll have to stretch out
- 3:16Speaker 1: if if I'm going to be physically ready, but mentally
- 3:19Speaker 1: emotionally I'm ready. So you have to stretch to watch
- 3:22Speaker 1: a game? Absolutely, yeah, just in case, I mean in
- 3:27Speaker 1: case you have to run to the bathroom during a
- 3:30Speaker 1: time out, run to the fridge, grab another beer, right, yeah,
- 3:33Speaker 1: I mean you always have to be ready. Milot taught
- 3:36Speaker 1: me that strink coach. He taught me that. I learned
- 3:39Speaker 1: that in CUB scouts. Be prepared. I learned that like
- 3:42Speaker 1: my ninth here in the NFL. So apparently you learned
- 3:44Speaker 1: that a lot earlier than I. Be prepared all the time. Absolutely,
- 3:48Speaker 1: but it's it's fun this week. It's interesting here in
- 3:51Speaker 1: the transition from from training camp when you hear guys
- 3:53Speaker 1: talk about camp and I just want to we're working
- 3:56Speaker 1: on this this week, or here's my checklist for the
- 3:58Speaker 1: day as a player, and all of a sudden, week
- 4:00Speaker 1: one comes around. All that's gone. I mean, you've cut
- 4:03Speaker 1: the team. There's fifty three guys here, then the practice
- 4:05Speaker 1: squad guys, and it's go time and you're focused on
- 4:09Speaker 1: the New York Giants and that's it. All the prep
- 4:11Speaker 1: in the off season is done and it's game week.
- 4:14Speaker 1: That's a big difference for that focus for this week.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It's a it's a huge difference. And obviously they've been
- 4:21Speaker 1: building up to this week for a long long time.
- 4:23Speaker 1: And what I love about this time of year is
- 4:27Speaker 1: you get to build up all that frustration, all that
- 4:30Speaker 1: the things you've been working on all off season is
- 4:33Speaker 1: going towards this week. And if most guys have that
- 4:36Speaker 1: same mentality, then they're gonna have a really good game.
- 4:40Speaker 1: And there's not too many guys that I've ever met
- 4:42Speaker 1: in the NFL that don't love Week one. That's what
- 4:45Speaker 1: it's all about. I mean, you're you're tee it up
- 4:47Speaker 1: and it's um away we go, you know. And so
- 4:52Speaker 1: a performance on opening Day like they had last year.
- 4:55Speaker 1: They went into Houston and just kicked the crap out
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the Texans in Week one, to be quite frank,
- 5:00Speaker 1: and I don't know if we thought they could be
- 5:03Speaker 1: that dominant that day, they had an idea. I don't
- 5:06Speaker 1: even know if they really knew how dominant they could
- 5:08Speaker 1: be at ten sack day and ran the ball like
- 5:10Speaker 1: they didn't, just just crush Houston. But that set a
- 5:13Speaker 1: tone for the season. Yeah, they lost next week, but
- 5:16Speaker 1: they had something visible that they knew they could look
- 5:20Speaker 1: back to. This is what we want to be as
- 5:21Speaker 1: a football team, and they did that the first day
- 5:23Speaker 1: out of the gates of the season last year. That's important.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I think for this year to to show that everybody's
- 5:28Speaker 1: expecting this. Now, let's go perform like we can. Yeah,
- 5:31Speaker 1: last year, I think they surprised a lot of people,
- 5:34Speaker 1: you know, with the ten sacks and the beating that
- 5:37Speaker 1: they put on Houston. This year, they're really not going
- 5:40Speaker 1: to surprise too many people with how well they rushed
- 5:43Speaker 1: the passer. But at the same time, I still think
- 5:46Speaker 1: that that d line, that defense, and that team is
- 5:49Speaker 1: gonna expect to have that type of performance And if
- 5:52Speaker 1: you don't, then what are you doing it for? That's true.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Now the questions we have, obviously, I think more on
- 5:59Speaker 1: on the on the offensive side, what does this offense
- 6:02Speaker 1: going to look like? Can they run the ball as
- 6:03Speaker 1: effectively as they did earlier in the season last year?
- 6:06Speaker 1: Can they do it for longer as the season goes on,
- 6:09Speaker 1: because it kind of waned off towards the end of
- 6:11Speaker 1: the season that the effectiveness of the run game. What's
- 6:14Speaker 1: going on at receiver? You've got a new tight end,
- 6:17Speaker 1: Blake got paid, he feels more comfortable, looks more comfortable.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Does that equate to game situations? So you know what
- 6:23Speaker 1: the defense I think can be and will be a
- 6:26Speaker 1: lot of questions on offense right now, you just gotta
- 6:28Speaker 1: go roll the ball up and see it, see it
- 6:30Speaker 1: in action, right. Yeah. Absolutely, I think this offense is
- 6:33Speaker 1: gonna need some time to develop, find out who the
- 6:37Speaker 1: guys are really gonna are going to be the ones
- 6:39Speaker 1: to step up and make the plays, and ones that
- 6:41Speaker 1: are going to be there on third down and make
- 6:44Speaker 1: the plays. Because this offense and team has built around
- 6:47Speaker 1: playing great defense, running the ball on the first two downs,
- 6:50Speaker 1: getting him into short yard situations on third down, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: someone making a play on third down and moving the chains.
- 6:56Speaker 1: And with Marquis going down, they're gonna have to have
- 6:59Speaker 1: some guy step up on that wide receiver uh unit
- 7:03Speaker 1: and make some plays on third downs. Yeah, third, that's
- 7:05Speaker 1: where it's at. I mean, because you get third and short,
- 7:07Speaker 1: you can run the play action game. That's what Blake
- 7:09Speaker 1: is really good at. Yeah, absolutely, getting outside of the pocket,
- 7:12Speaker 1: making a play with his legs if no one's open.
- 7:15Speaker 1: And what he really needs is guys to step up,
- 7:18Speaker 1: the younger guys and make some plays for him, get open,
- 7:21Speaker 1: make him feel comfortable. That way, he's got more options
- 7:23Speaker 1: than just running the ball. Well, ask you this as
- 7:25Speaker 1: a specialist. When it came to a game week, How
- 7:29Speaker 1: did your preparation change? How did you get ready for
- 7:32Speaker 1: a game? Did you watch much tape? I know, the
- 7:34Speaker 1: kickoff game? Do you watch some of that? Where do
- 7:37Speaker 1: you start when you when you open the book on
- 7:39Speaker 1: the New York Giants was sex? I mean for me
- 7:42Speaker 1: it was always week one. Watching tape is completely different
- 7:46Speaker 1: than any other player, obviously, because I'm not game planning
- 7:50Speaker 1: for a defense, defense or an offense, just you know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: like any other player is. I'm gonna watch the opposing
- 7:57Speaker 1: teams kickoff return unit, see what they do, see what
- 8:00Speaker 1: the return or does, little things like that. But for
- 8:03Speaker 1: the most part, I'm excited, and just like Lambo is
- 8:06Speaker 1: probably excited because the points he scores now actually count
- 8:10Speaker 1: and the ones that he missed in the preseason they
- 8:12Speaker 1: didn't matter. So now everything counts and that that's the
- 8:15Speaker 1: fun part about is that you know everything counts, and uh,
- 8:19Speaker 1: They're going to start off with this week with a
- 8:21Speaker 1: tough opponent and roll from there. Yeah, you said, watching
- 8:25Speaker 1: tape is not a huge thing for I mean, just
- 8:28Speaker 1: to see who's there watching from a guy or something.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Punters watch more tape typically than a kicker. I mean,
- 8:35Speaker 1: for field goals, even if you have a really good
- 8:38Speaker 1: field goal block unit you're going against, you're not really
- 8:41Speaker 1: concerned about it because if a kicker does his job
- 8:44Speaker 1: on the field goal, then you don't have to worry
- 8:47Speaker 1: about the field goal block unit. But for the opposing
- 8:51Speaker 1: team's kickoff return, if you're going against Devin Hester someone
- 8:54Speaker 1: like that, or a lot of guys that are in
- 8:56Speaker 1: the league, now you might game plan for that, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 1: adjust accordingly. But for punters it's different. You have to
- 9:04Speaker 1: watch a little bit more tape, um work on directional
- 9:07Speaker 1: punting a little bit more. But at the same time,
- 9:10Speaker 1: you know, it's all about executing as a kicker punter.
- 9:14Speaker 1: That way, the other team can't do what they need
- 9:17Speaker 1: to do. You said something that just kind of struck
- 9:19Speaker 1: my ear there. I don't know why. If the kicker
- 9:21Speaker 1: does his job, you don't have to worry about the
- 9:23Speaker 1: field goal block unit, correct, I mean? Well, I mean
- 9:26Speaker 1: if you get the ball off in time with a
- 9:29Speaker 1: snap holding kick under the time that you should or
- 9:32Speaker 1: around the time that you should, you shouldn't have to
- 9:34Speaker 1: worry about someone blocking a kick, even if they have
- 9:36Speaker 1: someone that's you know, six ft ten and going over
- 9:39Speaker 1: the middle, right. Yeah, if you had Clays Campbell on
- 9:42Speaker 1: the other side, you would have to adjust for that guy,
- 9:45Speaker 1: and it might be in the back of your mind
- 9:46Speaker 1: to worry about it. But it's as a kicker, you're
- 9:49Speaker 1: just you're kicking the ball, like you get You kind
- 9:51Speaker 1: of said, we're just kicking. You don't have to worry
- 9:57Speaker 1: about that guy. Yeah, they gotta block. Well, that's what
- 10:00Speaker 1: I mean by it. If you do your job as
- 10:02Speaker 1: a kicker, then you shouldn't worry about those guys. If
- 10:04Speaker 1: you kick it high enough, straight enough, and get the
- 10:08Speaker 1: ball off and the adequate amount of time, then it
- 10:10Speaker 1: shouldn't matter what the other team does. Josh Scoby with
- 10:13Speaker 1: us on this Jaguars Happy Hour on a Tuesday, each
- 10:16Speaker 1: and every Tuesday, the former Jags kickers with us. How
- 10:19Speaker 1: many times did you play the Giants your career? Do
- 10:21Speaker 1: you remember? Probably I want to say four times, that's
- 10:26Speaker 1: what I can remember. Three I can remember without a doubt.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Maybe four. Your last time was when I think two
- 10:33Speaker 1: thousand thirteen Aaron Covin fumble return game, correct, So that
- 10:40Speaker 1: was at home here, um and I kicked what was
- 10:44Speaker 1: at three yard game winner right at the you know,
- 10:48Speaker 1: last maybe the last few seconds I had to kick
- 10:52Speaker 1: off uh to finish that game. But it was It
- 10:55Speaker 1: was a fun game because obviously we didn't win too
- 10:58Speaker 1: many games that year, and Coughlin was back here. You know,
- 11:02Speaker 1: he got a nice standing ovation. Um. I know he
- 11:05Speaker 1: didn't enjoy losing to the Jags, especially with how bad
- 11:09Speaker 1: we were at that time, but it was fun. And
- 11:11Speaker 1: the one thing I can remember about that kick was
- 11:15Speaker 1: the uh. The new Jumbo Tron's were up, and I
- 11:18Speaker 1: took my steps back and looked up to try and
- 11:22Speaker 1: see exactly where I was going to aim, and the
- 11:24Speaker 1: sun happened to be coming directly in between the bottom
- 11:27Speaker 1: of the Jumbo Tron and the top of the stands,
- 11:30Speaker 1: So when I looked up, I literally couldn't see anything.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I couldn't see where I was aiming. It just happened
- 11:35Speaker 1: to be that time of day where the sun was
- 11:37Speaker 1: going straight through there. So I basically kicked it blindfolded.
- 11:41Speaker 1: I just picked a spot up where I was used
- 11:44Speaker 1: to looking. I couldn't see the uprights at all. Luckily
- 11:48Speaker 1: it went in and you could kind of see it
- 11:51Speaker 1: in my reaction afterwards, because Carson Tinker came up and
- 11:55Speaker 1: picked me up afterwards and we're celebrating, and I was
- 11:58Speaker 1: almost more like ad or relieved than happy to make
- 12:02Speaker 1: that kick because I literally couldn't see anything. No idea
- 12:05Speaker 1: where it went, no idea where it went. I knew
- 12:07Speaker 1: it went in because I heard the crowd, But oh man,
- 12:10Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those lucky, you know, lucky
- 12:13Speaker 1: breaks that I got. We're gonna hear a little bit
- 12:16Speaker 1: today from my Lawrence Times coming up, former Giants kicker.
- 12:19Speaker 1: We'll get into his relationship with Tom Coughlin. Of course,
- 12:22Speaker 1: he won two Super Bowls with Coughlin as the head
- 12:24Speaker 1: coach in New York. John Os, you're coming up a
- 12:26Speaker 1: little bit later as well. He might have a little
- 12:28Speaker 1: more on that, covering Tom back in the old days
- 12:31Speaker 1: as the head coach. Here. When you look at the Giants,
- 12:35Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of new in New York.
- 12:37Speaker 1: You know, new head coach, new GM. Eli Manning is
- 12:42Speaker 1: back as the starting quarterback after getting benched last year
- 12:44Speaker 1: towards the end of the season. You've got a new
- 12:46Speaker 1: running back. You've got a newly paid wide receiver. He's
- 12:50Speaker 1: been around there, Odell Beckham. You got some new on
- 12:53Speaker 1: the offensive line, was Solder and and Hernandez, the guard
- 12:56Speaker 1: who was drafted this year. So a lot of questions
- 12:59Speaker 1: in New York work about what this offense is going
- 13:01Speaker 1: to look like. They're hanging their head on Eli fifte
- 13:04Speaker 1: season in the NFL, which is hard to believe, but
- 13:07Speaker 1: he's been at it for a long long time. They're
- 13:09Speaker 1: trying to build things around Eli and and see if
- 13:12Speaker 1: they can get back to the to the the glory
- 13:14Speaker 1: they've had a few years ago. Yeah, I mean, you know,
- 13:17Speaker 1: obviously they didn't have a great season last year, but
- 13:21Speaker 1: there are some people that are picking the Giants to
- 13:23Speaker 1: win this week. You know, people in this room, we're not,
- 13:27Speaker 1: but they actually do have a pretty decent offense on paper.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Obviously with Odell Beckham Jr. Um And the new running back.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a challenge for this defense.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Even though you know, we're we're happy with the guys
- 13:40Speaker 1: that we have here, it's still going to be a
- 13:42Speaker 1: challenge and uh, it's gonna be fun to watch, you know,
- 13:46Speaker 1: the anticipated heavyweight battle of Odell Beckham Jr. And Jalen Ramsey,
- 13:51Speaker 1: that's for sure. You know, if I were a betting man,
- 13:54Speaker 1: I would um of who would win. The talking contest
- 13:58Speaker 1: on the field. I know where my my money would go.
- 14:00Speaker 1: It would be the guy in our building here. But
- 14:02Speaker 1: they can go both ways on on in this battle
- 14:05Speaker 1: against each other on Sunday. And I think not just
- 14:07Speaker 1: in the talking game, but in the actual football game too.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Odell is gonna get some Jalen is gonna get his.
- 14:13Speaker 1: They're both gonna go back and forth. And that's how
- 14:16Speaker 1: this thing is gonna play out. Usually is how that works. Yeah. Absolutely,
- 14:19Speaker 1: And it's not going to be a game where one
- 14:23Speaker 1: of them gets a huge play the other one makes
- 14:24Speaker 1: a huge play. It's gonna be back and forth the
- 14:26Speaker 1: whole time. There might be a couple of passes thrown
- 14:30Speaker 1: his way all game. That's just the way Jalen is
- 14:32Speaker 1: gonna play. Um, Like you said, you know, there's gonna
- 14:35Speaker 1: be some chatter that entire time, and I would actually
- 14:38Speaker 1: pay good money to to have that uncensored miked both
- 14:43Speaker 1: of them. And I think they should kind of do
- 14:45Speaker 1: it like a UFC type of battle. They show up,
- 14:48Speaker 1: they do, you know, put their fists up and have
- 14:50Speaker 1: someone behind them kind of the way and do that
- 14:53Speaker 1: and go from there. But you know, this is it's
- 14:56Speaker 1: gonna be a fun one on one battle to watch.
- 14:58Speaker 1: At the same time, it's it's gonna be a really
- 15:00Speaker 1: good game in my opinion. The Corona girls behind them
- 15:04Speaker 1: and the whole way in such. Yeah, maybe keep their
- 15:07Speaker 1: clothes on and they can wait in and whatnot. But yeah,
- 15:12Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a fun matchup for sure. And
- 15:14Speaker 1: you know, same with Sequon Barkley and you know this
- 15:18Speaker 1: Jaguar run defense, it's gonna be fun to watch that.
- 15:21Speaker 1: But last year they they brought in Marcel Darius that
- 15:25Speaker 1: helped the run game right away. And what's Marcel's situation
- 15:30Speaker 1: with the pectorial. He's out there practicing, but it's been
- 15:32Speaker 1: a nagging thing the last couple of weeks. It's a
- 15:35Speaker 1: big question, I think. But the other question is really
- 15:39Speaker 1: what is Sae Kwan Barkley's role going to be with
- 15:41Speaker 1: a job he's he's the starting running back. I get that.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Can they use They can use them out of the
- 15:46Speaker 1: backfield in the passing game? What kind of running game
- 15:49Speaker 1: will they use with him? You know, we we know
- 15:52Speaker 1: what he can do and did at Penn State. Does
- 15:54Speaker 1: that equate to the NFL? You just haven't seen a
- 15:56Speaker 1: lot of you You didn't see a lot of it
- 15:57Speaker 1: in the preseason. You only bring the ball in handful
- 16:00Speaker 1: of times. Now, he ran thirty nine yards is first touch,
- 16:04Speaker 1: so you have an idea of what how explosive he
- 16:06Speaker 1: can be, but you haven't seen it on film yet.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I think that's the challenge for Todd Washington's defense, just
- 16:12Speaker 1: kind of test the water here and and maybe not
- 16:14Speaker 1: throw the house at him right away because he might
- 16:17Speaker 1: run by the house for a touchdown. Yeah. I can
- 16:19Speaker 1: see that kind of playing out with with UH coach
- 16:22Speaker 1: Wash and his philosophy. I think he's gonna kind of
- 16:26Speaker 1: hang back and see what he does and see if
- 16:29Speaker 1: Barkley's injury is kind of still bothering him a little bit.
- 16:32Speaker 1: I know he's hampered by something new hamstring, right, Yeah,
- 16:34Speaker 1: not not too bad, but you know, they've kept him
- 16:36Speaker 1: out the last couple of games just to be safe
- 16:38Speaker 1: on it. But at the same time, they're going to
- 16:41Speaker 1: be aggressive on defense, and whether it's run blitz is
- 16:45Speaker 1: stack in the box, whatever it is, they're going to
- 16:47Speaker 1: be aggressive and not let Barkley beat them. They're gonna
- 16:51Speaker 1: rush the passer and do what they can to eliminate
- 16:54Speaker 1: the big threats on their offense. Couple of years. Yeah,
- 16:59Speaker 1: he was. They had fantasy football in college football, he
- 17:02Speaker 1: would have been most people's number one pick, the offensive
- 17:05Speaker 1: player that you're in the Big ten the last two
- 17:06Speaker 1: years and really not even close. There's nobody else like
- 17:09Speaker 1: eft was even close to what he could do. Really,
- 17:13Speaker 1: Yeah what number two? Overall? Running backs don't go that
- 17:16Speaker 1: high anymore? Yeah, I meanically, and you know they do
- 17:21Speaker 1: backstories on him, interviews with him. He seems like a
- 17:24Speaker 1: good kid. But hopefully that good kid gets shut down
- 17:28Speaker 1: in about five days. So that's what we're hoping for.
- 17:31Speaker 1: That would be the hope around here for sure. So
- 17:35Speaker 1: you have it. We're off and running Jaguars Happy Hour.

- 20:17Speaker 1: New Jersey. We love kickers on this show. Well we
- 20:22Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I do. I don't problem. I
- 20:24Speaker 1: mean by de fault, I have to. We're doing the
- 20:26Speaker 1: show together. I think you know I mean kickers. So
- 20:30Speaker 1: in that case, let's get another kicker on the show.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Former Chiefs, Giants Buccaneers kicker Lawrence Times joins us over
- 20:38Speaker 1: the phone. Hey man, what's up? Thanks for thanks for
- 20:42Speaker 1: coming on today. First off, on Giants Jaguars week. Um,
- 20:46Speaker 1: how far? How close do you follow the Giants? Still?
- 20:50Speaker 1: I'm pretty fanatical. Uh, I keep up with pretty much everything. Yeah,
- 20:56Speaker 1: he's quite Yeah, LT obviously LT. That way, there's another
- 21:04Speaker 1: LT with the Giant. He might be the original LT. Actually,
- 21:07Speaker 1: but I got a really funny story about that. You
- 21:10Speaker 1: want to hear? Yeah, let's hear it. What you got?
- 21:12Speaker 1: So two thousand seven, I get traded to the Giants
- 21:16Speaker 1: from Kansas City and I fly in. The first thing
- 21:20Speaker 1: I go to is the Giants golf tournament, and so
- 21:23Speaker 1: I meet Jerry Reese for the first time, and Harry Carson,
- 21:27Speaker 1: who obviously played next to LT. And Jerry Reese introduces me,
- 21:32Speaker 1: and Harry Carson says, well, what's your name, son? And
- 21:35Speaker 1: I said Lawrence Times, but I go by LT. And
- 21:38Speaker 1: he said, no, you don't and I said, from that
- 21:41Speaker 1: point on, I knew where I was. But fast forward
- 21:46Speaker 1: six months later, Harry followed the team pretty closely, and uh,
- 21:51Speaker 1: I made that kick in Green Bay. That was my
- 21:52Speaker 1: first year in New York, and he was in the
- 21:55Speaker 1: locker room and he said, I'll call you l T.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Now that's a pretty cool story. When the NFC, I
- 22:01Speaker 1: guess it'll work. Yeah, you have to. You have to
- 22:05Speaker 1: earn that moniker there. Yeah. Well, LT, obviously, you know
- 22:10Speaker 1: I've known you a long time, and uh, I know
- 22:12Speaker 1: your passion for the for the Giants and the organization.
- 22:15Speaker 1: You obviously won two Super Bowls with him, but you
- 22:18Speaker 1: had a great deal, uh, to actually help the team
- 22:23Speaker 1: get to those super Bowls, didn't you. Yeah. I mean,
- 22:27Speaker 1: I was just fortunate enough to be put in you know,
- 22:30Speaker 1: the situation twice UM one through my own doing. In
- 22:34Speaker 1: the first one in two thousand eight against the Packers,
- 22:38Speaker 1: I had made too, I missed two. Fortunately, Corey Webster
- 22:42Speaker 1: made a great play and overtime picked off Brett Farve
- 22:46Speaker 1: got us in the position. UM made the kick, and
- 22:49Speaker 1: then four years later in UM San Francisco, it was
- 22:54Speaker 1: another overtime situation. Special teams play one of our gutters
- 23:00Speaker 1: knocked the ball loose from the returner. We get the
- 23:02Speaker 1: ball down there pretty close, and we made the kick again.
- 23:05Speaker 1: So really just right place, right time. I mean, it's
- 23:09Speaker 1: kind of hard to fathom. Um, you never think about
- 23:12Speaker 1: ever having more than one of those, and I have
- 23:14Speaker 1: to so pretty thankful. Yeah, that's pretty special. Um, now
- 23:19Speaker 1: I've heard that, kind of heard the story from what
- 23:21Speaker 1: I remember over the years. Um, with the first kick
- 23:25Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship in Green Bay, that was the
- 23:27Speaker 1: cold game, like the minus ninety degree Tom Coffin face
- 23:32Speaker 1: almost it looked like, yeah, it looked like he was
- 23:35Speaker 1: going to die in that game. But apparently you what
- 23:38Speaker 1: ran out on the field without getting the signal to
- 23:41Speaker 1: kick the field goal or how did that work? Right?
- 23:44Speaker 1: So I had made too early, missed too late, and
- 23:48Speaker 1: so I had missed one from about forty to forty three.
- 23:53Speaker 1: I can't remember going in the same direction. But as
- 23:56Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you can hit balls really well
- 23:58Speaker 1: and miss I mean that's just the nature of the position.
- 24:01Speaker 1: And so I hit it really well, so I knew
- 24:03Speaker 1: distance whise I could get it there. So this kick
- 24:05Speaker 1: that I ended up making was from forty seven yards well,
- 24:09Speaker 1: you know, I had missed my last two and we
- 24:13Speaker 1: we get a third down play it's incomplete. I just
- 24:16Speaker 1: ran onto the field. I kind of figured it was
- 24:20Speaker 1: up forty seven and I get out there and nobody's
- 24:23Speaker 1: on the field, Like Eagles is not out there. Everyone's scrambling.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Coach Coughlin's kind of looked in, he's looking around. I
- 24:31Speaker 1: see him talking to Jeff. You know, I don't think internally,
- 24:34Speaker 1: as the as the story has grown, I heard, you know,
- 24:39Speaker 1: it was basically every coach on the headset saying don't
- 24:41Speaker 1: kick it, don't kick it, don't kick it. And then
- 24:44Speaker 1: I gave Coughlin some positive vibes, I guess for being
- 24:47Speaker 1: out there and taking the onus. You know, part of
- 24:49Speaker 1: that was because I didn't want to go home and
- 24:52Speaker 1: having lost that game and be thrown into the Hudson
- 24:55Speaker 1: with cement shoes on. So um, I get out there
- 24:59Speaker 1: and then the rest is history. We made the kick.
- 25:01Speaker 1: But yeah, it was just one of those deals. I mean,
- 25:04Speaker 1: you've been there, you know, you've never been to the
- 25:10Speaker 1: championship and any kind of game winner where you know
- 25:14Speaker 1: what the adrillin is pump in. You know, I knew
- 25:16Speaker 1: I could get it there. You know, sometimes we always
- 25:18Speaker 1: tell our coach we can gick it further than we can.
- 25:20Speaker 1: But um, you know, it was just one of those
- 25:23Speaker 1: deals where I felt really good about it. I mean,
- 25:25Speaker 1: even though I had missed, I didn't hit it really bad.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I mean I just missed it a little bit left.
- 25:30Speaker 1: So I just started this one a little bit further
- 25:32Speaker 1: to the right, and I went in Lawrence Times with
- 25:34Speaker 1: us former New York Giants Kicker the Jags and the
- 25:37Speaker 1: Giants coming up this Sunday. Do you remember your first
- 25:40Speaker 1: interaction with Tom Coughlin. I do. Um So, I was traded,
- 25:46Speaker 1: as we talked about earlier. Um So, I get there
- 25:49Speaker 1: kind of journ like O t a s right after
- 25:52Speaker 1: the draft, and um he he kind of sat me
- 25:56Speaker 1: down and talked to me, said, look, we're bringing you
- 25:57Speaker 1: here to compete. We're not giving you the job in
- 26:00Speaker 1: the veteran and we've got a young guy. But um
- 26:02Speaker 1: one of the things that really sticks out is when
- 26:05Speaker 1: I got traded, my wife was really really sick. We have,
- 26:08Speaker 1: thank god, two healthy boys that are eleven now, but
- 26:11Speaker 1: during her pregnancy she was really really ill. So she
- 26:13Speaker 1: was in the hospital for like the last six season.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Ninety days were pregnancy and I literally stayed by her
- 26:19Speaker 1: side for every night. So I slept in this little
- 26:22Speaker 1: corner of the hospital room for almost three months trying
- 26:26Speaker 1: to train and get to camp when camp started. But
- 26:28Speaker 1: you know, the first batch of flowers and balloons and
- 26:31Speaker 1: stuff that we got when the boys were born, we're
- 26:35Speaker 1: from Tom Coughlin, and from that point on, I just
- 26:38Speaker 1: knew what kind of a person he was. And um,
- 26:41Speaker 1: that spoke volumes. Yeah, and you know he's got that
- 26:44Speaker 1: gruff exterior and and can be a little snippy if
- 26:47Speaker 1: you know, if he doesn't have things perfect like he wants,
- 26:50Speaker 1: that's him. But he's got that soft side too, and
- 26:52Speaker 1: we see it in the Jay Fund all the time
- 26:54Speaker 1: and everything he does in the community. But boy, yeah,
- 26:57Speaker 1: everybody everybody's kind of around him has a story that's
- 27:00Speaker 1: more to that. Yeah, everybody loves him and they know
- 27:03Speaker 1: he's a family man when it all comes down to it.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Obviously with the Jay Fund and what he does for
- 27:07Speaker 1: kids and cancer research and whatnot. So that's not a
- 27:10Speaker 1: surprising story. But at the same time, when it comes
- 27:14Speaker 1: to you know, Kickers, it kind of is surprising. Yeah,
- 27:18Speaker 1: he's Um, he's been fantastic, and you know I still
- 27:22Speaker 1: text with him. Um he Actually, my wife just threw
- 27:25Speaker 1: me a surprise birthday back in May and video montage
- 27:33Speaker 1: during the draft is I guess when she reached out
- 27:36Speaker 1: to Tom Tom, did you know a thirty second clip
- 27:40Speaker 1: from his office wishing me happy birthday on the montage
- 27:45Speaker 1: amongst other NFL players and people and friends and families.
- 27:48Speaker 1: So if that doesn't tell you you know what our
- 27:52Speaker 1: relationship is like, I mean, it's for him to take
- 27:54Speaker 1: the time out during the draft and do that just
- 27:56Speaker 1: says a lot about him. That's great. Um, what did
- 28:01Speaker 1: you think when the Giants benched Eli last year? It
- 28:06Speaker 1: was the dumbest decision ever. I mean, it just didn't
- 28:10Speaker 1: make any sense. I mean Eli was willing to to
- 28:13Speaker 1: I guess, at least as as I read stories, play
- 28:16Speaker 1: you know the first half and then kind of see
- 28:19Speaker 1: if they're still in it. If they're not, and then
- 28:21Speaker 1: you know, let you know, it would have made more
- 28:23Speaker 1: sense of David's Webb played the guy who they just
- 28:25Speaker 1: released so they drafted in the third round. But um,
- 28:28Speaker 1: it would have made more sense if he played over Gino.
- 28:31Speaker 1: But you know that that really kind of angered me
- 28:36Speaker 1: a little bit because that streak is important to Eli
- 28:39Speaker 1: and um you know, I know it's an individual personal streak,
- 28:42Speaker 1: which the Mannings are not real big on individual things,
- 28:45Speaker 1: but I think it speaks volumes to him being available
- 28:49Speaker 1: and being ready to play every Sunday, and sometimes he
- 28:52Speaker 1: shouldn't have played, but he has. But um, I kind
- 28:55Speaker 1: of hate that it ended the way it did. The
- 28:57Speaker 1: second longest in LEA history. I mean, that doesn't around
- 29:00Speaker 1: and they should have an asterisk, but of course it won't.
- 29:03Speaker 1: But um, I just hated how how that all went down. Yeah,
- 29:07Speaker 1: it got the head coach. Was that McAdoo got him fired?
- 29:10Speaker 1: In my opinion, Yeah, I think, yeah, that was a
- 29:13Speaker 1: dumb move on their part obviously, And I mean, you
- 29:16Speaker 1: don't take out a two time Super Bowl winner at
- 29:20Speaker 1: any point in their career, even if they're struggling. I
- 29:23Speaker 1: think it was just a power trip on mcadoo's part.
- 29:26Speaker 1: It was a little bit And and you know, he
- 29:28Speaker 1: lies one of the most competitive guys I've ever been around,
- 29:31Speaker 1: and and it wasn't about the wins and losses for him.
- 29:35Speaker 1: He just likes to be there for his teammates and
- 29:37Speaker 1: whether they're one in fifteen or fifteen and one. He
- 29:41Speaker 1: he wants to be out there and and and play football.
- 29:44Speaker 1: That's that's what they pay him twenty million dollars a
- 29:47Speaker 1: year to do. So you're right, the whole thing just
- 29:49Speaker 1: didn't make any sense. Lawrence times with us former Giants
- 29:53Speaker 1: kicker A couple more minutes. Two with you, Lawrence Um,
- 29:56Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey, Odell Beckham, who you got? I'm taking thirteen.
- 30:02Speaker 1: He's fresh, he's fresh, he's hungry, and listen, Jalen's an
- 30:06Speaker 1: unbelievable player. You know, somebody mentioned it on TV the
- 30:09Speaker 1: other day. They should just have a box on those
- 30:12Speaker 1: two players for three hours on Sunday and make it
- 30:16Speaker 1: a pay per view. Don't show the offense, don't show
- 30:18Speaker 1: anything else. To show those two running around, you know,
- 30:22Speaker 1: pushing each other, whatever they're gonna do. I hope it's
- 30:24Speaker 1: clean and fun and doesn't get out of hand. But
- 30:27Speaker 1: I mean, two of the best players in the game.
- 30:29Speaker 1: I mean, I can't wait to watch it. Yeah. The
- 30:32Speaker 1: only thing I worry about with O'Dell is his pockets
- 30:35Speaker 1: are gonna be a little heavy. I mean, how's it
- 30:38Speaker 1: going to run around with you know, ninety million dollars
- 30:41Speaker 1: in his pockets. That's gonna be tough because knowing him,
- 30:44Speaker 1: he might have it on him. Actually he might have
- 30:47Speaker 1: it in cash. He might have a few ye, he
- 30:49Speaker 1: might bring some cash out there. But um, I can't
- 30:53Speaker 1: wait to see it. I hope they give it the
- 30:55Speaker 1: credit it deserves. I mean, that's that's that's a marquee matchup,
- 30:58Speaker 1: especially in week one. It's gonna be fun to watch. Well, uh, Lawrence,
- 31:03Speaker 1: we appreciate you coming on, buddy, and uh, good luck
- 31:06Speaker 1: with everything you're doing. And uh hopefully our guy twenty
- 31:09Speaker 1: gets uh the uh the championship belt over number thirteen. Yeah,
- 31:15Speaker 1: they'll they'll probably be one of those. So I appreciate
- 31:17Speaker 1: you guys having me and have an awesome season, a buddy,

- 34:20Speaker 1: who do you do that? Chris Hansen? He played here
- 34:22Speaker 1: and there right all right? I know if you know
- 34:25Speaker 1: all the people I have had a lot of connections,
- 34:27Speaker 1: You've a lot of connections on this show. So sad.
- 34:35Speaker 1: It's so sad, now that I think about it, it's
- 34:37Speaker 1: so sad. I try to have a good rolodex of celebrities,
- 34:41Speaker 1: but it's only kickers, punters and snappers. Really, do you
- 34:44Speaker 1: probably get Blake? You guys are tight if you'd answered
- 34:47Speaker 1: my calls or did he change his numbered changed his
- 34:51Speaker 1: number specifically for that? Luckily he still answers my text.
- 34:56Speaker 1: So Jo fired up, Josh fired at first? I think,
- 35:00Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm I won't be there for it. I'll
- 35:03Speaker 1: be in Louisiana, but I'll be watching it. Is this
- 35:10Speaker 1: do you watch as if? I mean as a fan?
- 35:13Speaker 1: Do you get into it? Do you throw stuff for?
- 35:15Speaker 1: I mean, is an emotional time for you? And they're
- 35:17Speaker 1: plan or with the Jags? Absolutely? I mean even you
- 35:21Speaker 1: know the year that I got traded and wasn't with
- 35:24Speaker 1: a team the rest of that year and then the
- 35:26Speaker 1: following year before I decided to retire. I mean I
- 35:29Speaker 1: was still all in Jaguar fan, rooting every single day,
- 35:33Speaker 1: getting mad about certain things. And now, is that because
- 35:38Speaker 1: you knew a lot of guys and relationship or all
- 35:42Speaker 1: of it was? You know, obviously still had a lot
- 35:46Speaker 1: of former teammates that I you know, respected and loved
- 35:51Speaker 1: and and something that you didn't, some that I didn't.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Some I was okay when they lost. Now I'm just uh,
- 35:58Speaker 1: but I mean it had more to do with just
- 36:01Speaker 1: the team. I mean, I love for the team will
- 36:03Speaker 1: never go away. So um yeah, I mean I live
- 36:07Speaker 1: and die with with the sundence as a as a
- 36:10Speaker 1: former player. It's almost more nerve racking as a former
- 36:13Speaker 1: player watching the games. My heart beats faster watching the
- 36:16Speaker 1: games now than it did actually playing them. So because
- 36:19Speaker 1: you know what they're going through. Yeah, you know he's
- 36:21Speaker 1: lining up and you know what he's thinking. Well, it's
- 36:23Speaker 1: that and that I have zero control over anything. And
- 36:27Speaker 1: you know watching the kickers kick, you know, punters go
- 36:31Speaker 1: through what they do. It's just I have zero control
- 36:34Speaker 1: over it now. So I'm almost more nervous when you
- 36:36Speaker 1: were lining up for the game winning, they weren't nerves.
- 36:41Speaker 1: I mean, there's nerves. You can control a lot of
- 36:44Speaker 1: that stuff, but now I can't. So it's just it's
- 36:47Speaker 1: just a strange feeling to try and describe. I mean,
- 36:50Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of guys that could agree
- 36:52Speaker 1: with me that you used to play, but I mean
- 36:55Speaker 1: I live and die with it every Sunday. Cool John,
- 36:57Speaker 1: what's this offense have of sleeve this week? New York?
- 37:01Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure it's a big up to
- 37:03Speaker 1: sleeve game. You know, I talked to the Giants, my
- 37:06Speaker 1: Giants counterpart, so I started to with you and what
- 37:14Speaker 1: we get together, I'll be the better athletes in this group.
- 37:17Speaker 1: The senior writers are the kickers for debate. Um. Uh,
- 37:21Speaker 1: except in the golf course. They believe that they're a
- 37:27Speaker 1: really good a defensive interior. I mean, they believe they
- 37:31Speaker 1: can stop the run the Giants. Um. Sometimes you would think, well,
- 37:36Speaker 1: the opposing offense would go away from that, But I
- 37:38Speaker 1: don't see the Jaguars in this game going away from
- 37:41Speaker 1: trying to run the ball up the middle. I think
- 37:43Speaker 1: you want to establish that they feel like they should
- 37:45Speaker 1: be good at that. I think they thought they showed
- 37:47Speaker 1: that in the last preseason game. Uh So, I'm not
- 37:50Speaker 1: sure it's as much of an up to sleeves game
- 37:52Speaker 1: as hey, hey, we're gonna run it up the gut
- 37:54Speaker 1: and we're gonna show what we believe we are. Uh.
- 37:58Speaker 1: No time like the present for established that we believe
- 38:00Speaker 1: we're gonna stop you on defense. So if it takes
- 38:02Speaker 1: this couple of series to get it going, um, not
- 38:06Speaker 1: just to establish the tone for the game, but for
- 38:08Speaker 1: the season of you know, we got Andrew Norhell for
- 38:12Speaker 1: a reason. We think A. J. Cann's better. You know,
- 38:15Speaker 1: Brandon Lender's our guy for Net's our guy, and we're
- 38:18Speaker 1: gonna run on you. So I don't think you're gonna
- 38:20Speaker 1: see a lot of trickery. I like that though. That's
- 38:23Speaker 1: what this team is all about. Otherwise that's established. And
- 38:26Speaker 1: obviously what this team does is once that gets going,
- 38:28Speaker 1: then you can rp O then you know, playoff. But
- 38:31Speaker 1: you know, and I say they won't do these things early,
- 38:33Speaker 1: but I mean, as anyway in the world, they don't
- 38:35Speaker 1: come out and try to establish the fact that, Okay,
- 38:38Speaker 1: we were the number one running offense in the league,
- 38:40Speaker 1: but weren't great at the end of last season. This
- 38:42Speaker 1: is who we are and we can be this anywhere,
- 38:45Speaker 1: including at Medlife Stadium. I think you saw when when
- 38:49Speaker 1: Norwell came into the lineup finally in the preseason, that
- 38:52Speaker 1: that difference when he was in on the offensive line
- 38:54Speaker 1: in those games. I mean that game, they had pushed,
- 38:57Speaker 1: they had things they didn't have the first couple of
- 38:59Speaker 1: weeks in the first team offense, so that it makes
- 39:02Speaker 1: a big difference when you when you pay that kind
- 39:04Speaker 1: of money for a guy, you know what you're getting.
- 39:05Speaker 1: You haven't seen it, but he's out there. You saw
- 39:07Speaker 1: it pretty clear, I think in the preseason. Josh, yeah,
- 39:09Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take a little bit of time,
- 39:11Speaker 1: like you said, maybe a series or two before they
- 39:14Speaker 1: get completely comfortable because that that starting five hasn't played
- 39:17Speaker 1: a whole lot together for the past four weeks. But
- 39:20Speaker 1: once they get rolling, they know that that's what they
- 39:23Speaker 1: want to do, that's their strength of their game. So
- 39:26Speaker 1: they're gonna go best on best and say this is
- 39:29Speaker 1: what we do best. We're gonna take on what you
- 39:31Speaker 1: do best, and we'll see what happens from there. I'm
- 39:34Speaker 1: fascinated to see how I think we caught a glimpse
- 39:37Speaker 1: of it in the preseason. What Natan Doug want this
- 39:40Speaker 1: offense to be, especially against Atlanta where you saw them
- 39:43Speaker 1: using Corey Grant and the two backs on the field
- 39:46Speaker 1: at the same time. I don't think it's going to
- 39:48Speaker 1: be their entire offense, but I think if it works,
- 39:51Speaker 1: you're gonna see a heavy dose of it. And you
- 39:54Speaker 1: just can't shake the feeling that they haven't shown everything
- 39:58Speaker 1: they want to do in the preseason and his Nate
- 40:00Speaker 1: second year with these guys, it's Blake's second year under Nate,
- 40:04Speaker 1: um I think it's gonna be a r P O
- 40:07Speaker 1: to go football one oh one heavy offense this year. Ah.
- 40:11Speaker 1: But I'm just they did such a nice job against
- 40:14Speaker 1: Atlanta straining the edges of the defense of trying to
- 40:18Speaker 1: get for Net and Grant and these guys on the
- 40:22Speaker 1: linebackers in one on one situations where you know, if
- 40:25Speaker 1: you get for Net on the outside, not Gene for Net, Josh,
- 40:28Speaker 1: but if you get him on the outside, it's tough too.
- 40:32Speaker 1: But if you get Letter from on the outside against
- 40:34Speaker 1: a linebacker DV He's either going to run over here,
- 40:36Speaker 1: run by. He's got those two options and and not
- 40:39Speaker 1: everybody can do that. That's an intimidating site when you
- 40:41Speaker 1: get him out there, and I think that's gonna be
- 40:43Speaker 1: a big part of what they try to do. I
- 40:44Speaker 1: don't know how to bring Geane down either. Well, you
- 40:47Speaker 1: got a game plan for him. If you don't defend him,
- 40:49Speaker 1: you're gonna live. You just don't give him an option
- 40:52Speaker 1: to hit delete on his Twitter because he doesn't know
- 40:56Speaker 1: how to spell most words right, He's not going to
- 40:58Speaker 1: spell check. But I kind of got the feeling in
- 41:01Speaker 1: the preseason that we didn't see all the options that
- 41:05Speaker 1: Corey Grant is gonna bring to the table. It just
- 41:08Speaker 1: felt like he wasn't utilized and maybe they're trying to
- 41:11Speaker 1: hold that back, which I kind of like because I
- 41:14Speaker 1: think he's kind of the hidden gym in this offense
- 41:16Speaker 1: when you know certain things that he can do that
- 41:19Speaker 1: the other two guys might not be as good at
- 41:22Speaker 1: that when it's third down or even you know, second down,
- 41:24Speaker 1: that they bring him in and they have that availability
- 41:27Speaker 1: for him. Well, it's funny. There was a debate in
- 41:31Speaker 1: the ozon It's a that's a thing that I write
- 41:33Speaker 1: Josh the ozon um who is faster Corey Grant or
- 41:37Speaker 1: Leonard for net and the people are amazed. I think
- 41:41Speaker 1: there's somebody faster on the team, the Leonard for net
- 41:44Speaker 1: and Corey you know, again going back to high school,
- 41:48Speaker 1: a fifth of a second or whatever, it was faster.
- 41:50Speaker 1: But I think what Grant gives you is I don't
- 41:55Speaker 1: think he's gonna give you fifteen carries a game, but
- 41:59Speaker 1: he's gotten to the point, I think, especially with with
- 42:01Speaker 1: what he did show in the preseason. I keep going
- 42:05Speaker 1: back to the point that I do think defenses are
- 42:07Speaker 1: going to have to game plan for him when he's
- 42:09Speaker 1: in the game, and that's an unusual thing for a
- 42:11Speaker 1: guy who only plays, you know, maybe seven or eight
- 42:15Speaker 1: offensive snaps, but can be so effective within that that
- 42:19Speaker 1: if you're a coordinator and you're watching film, Josh, and
- 42:22Speaker 1: you see Corey Grant go for thirty yards every time
- 42:26Speaker 1: he touches the ball with that kind of speed, and
- 42:27Speaker 1: you're thinking, if I don't have two guys over defending
- 42:31Speaker 1: him and a way to back that up, this kid
- 42:34Speaker 1: can score on every place. So I think it is
- 42:35Speaker 1: to a point where coordinators have to game plan for him.
- 42:39Speaker 1: Thereby setting up you can actually use him as a
- 42:41Speaker 1: decoy as play action, whereas most of the time when
- 42:45Speaker 1: you have a guy coming in for just a few plays.
- 42:47Speaker 1: It's an afterthought. You're gonna scheme to him, but he's
- 42:49Speaker 1: not going to be a huge part of what the
- 42:51Speaker 1: other team has to do during the week. John with
- 42:54Speaker 1: us check war think Josh had a pet easy for
- 42:57Speaker 1: me to say, yeah, actually set what I was thinking
- 43:00Speaker 1: and never mind. I mean him coming in on third
- 43:04Speaker 1: down and uh, you know certain defenses out there, and
- 43:09Speaker 1: it'll open up r p O s and more opportunities
- 43:12Speaker 1: for Blake to go play action, fake it to him
- 43:16Speaker 1: and have uh, you know, one on one down field.
- 43:18Speaker 1: And I think that's why he's gonna be a huge
- 43:21Speaker 1: addition for the offense. They're running back corps, especially against Atlanta.
- 43:26Speaker 1: But you saw it all through the preseason. JP with
- 43:28Speaker 1: t J Yeldon, You're right or there, J Yeah, I'm
- 43:31Speaker 1: breathing there. Yeah, I'm good. Okay. But you know, I
- 43:36Speaker 1: think that's one thing that when the season ended last year,
- 43:40Speaker 1: if you had said, what are the team's strength of
- 43:43Speaker 1: the Jaguar is going to be? I think you would
- 43:45Speaker 1: have said for net and maybe a little Corey Grant
- 43:48Speaker 1: mixed in. I think what we saw in in training
- 43:51Speaker 1: camp and we saw in the preseason, it really makes
- 43:53Speaker 1: you think that it's not just gonna be for net
- 43:56Speaker 1: and the others. It's gonna be this is a three
- 43:59Speaker 1: headed running back that I think for it's gonna be
- 44:02Speaker 1: the star. I think he and he can have a
- 44:04Speaker 1: twelve yard season. But I remember when we were talking
- 44:08Speaker 1: to t J Yelding toward the end of training camp
- 44:11Speaker 1: and he didn't talk to the media that much, but
- 44:13Speaker 1: he talked for a few minutes and when you asked
- 44:15Speaker 1: him about his role, he kind of hesitated. He said,
- 44:17Speaker 1: what will see my role is going to be And
- 44:19Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't being Snyder, it wasn't being negative.
- 44:22Speaker 1: It was more I just got the impression there's something
- 44:25Speaker 1: there that we haven't seen and he's going to be
- 44:27Speaker 1: a lot more than just a guy they give the
- 44:30Speaker 1: ball when they're trying to give for at a break.
- 44:32Speaker 1: The other matchup to to watch. This Jaguars defense is
- 44:35Speaker 1: ready to destroy people. I think this year just talking
- 44:38Speaker 1: to these guys, they know what they are, they know
- 44:39Speaker 1: what they want to be, and it's a premier matchup
- 44:42Speaker 1: this week. The playmakers or possible playmakers for the Giants,
- 44:46Speaker 1: not just Odell Beckham, but Barkley and he got Elie
- 44:50Speaker 1: back in there now. Fifteenth year. Uh, they got a
- 44:52Speaker 1: revamped offensive line and that's that's gonna be the battle
- 44:56Speaker 1: the Jags defense against the playmakers for the Giants, and
- 45:00Speaker 1: and Eli they've they've they put their hat on him
- 45:04Speaker 1: like he's he's he's the guy. Still, he's gonna be
- 45:06Speaker 1: the guy. They built everything around Eli. He's gonna go
- 45:08Speaker 1: perform in the year number fifteen now against this defense
- 45:11Speaker 1: Week one. I think the fascinating match up here is
- 45:14Speaker 1: I think Berkeley is a kid who is so good
- 45:17Speaker 1: and so talented that he's probably gonna have a play
- 45:20Speaker 1: in each half where he breaks it. I think that's
- 45:23Speaker 1: okay for the Jaguars because the speed at linebacker, the
- 45:26Speaker 1: speed on that defense. I don't think him breaking it
- 45:29Speaker 1: means he's gonna score, but he might change the field
- 45:31Speaker 1: a couple of times. Can the speed of Telvin Smith
- 45:35Speaker 1: and Myles Jack which is extraordinary and has that way
- 45:39Speaker 1: of turning what looks like a seven yard play all
- 45:43Speaker 1: of a sudden, Miles is chasing a guy down and
- 45:45Speaker 1: it's second and eight in staid a second and three.
- 45:46Speaker 1: How many times have they done that where you're like, Wow,
- 45:48Speaker 1: this is not as bad a down and distance as
- 45:51Speaker 1: it looked when that play started. If they can do
- 45:53Speaker 1: that against Barkley and force the Giants instead of facing
- 45:57Speaker 1: second and five a lot, if they're facing second and
- 46:00Speaker 1: nine after Barkley runs, then all of a sudden, the
- 46:03Speaker 1: defense tea's off. You get that swarm effect where the
- 46:06Speaker 1: Jaguars defense is going after you, and it's really the key.
- 46:09Speaker 1: I think Jack and Smith's speed counteracting Barkley's. I think
- 46:14Speaker 1: He's gonna is going to give the Jaguars defense a
- 46:17Speaker 1: chance to be what it can be fun and then
- 46:21Speaker 1: kicker speed. You know, that's that's important on special teams
- 46:24Speaker 1: to write zero to do with another that I was
- 46:29Speaker 1: never asked to run a forty. Have you commented on
- 46:31Speaker 1: the Logan Cook hit yet, We've got a question coming up.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Remember that out of you, Necessaria think you were too
- 46:39Speaker 1: smart the guys before six five? How big is he?
- 46:43Speaker 1: I mean he has a monster monster hunter. Yeah, it
- 46:48Speaker 1: was impressive. I loved it. He's not gonna love the
- 46:51Speaker 1: FedEx package he gets in the mail from from that league.
- 46:54Speaker 1: But yeah, I wonder hasn't even that might be I
- 46:56Speaker 1: think he went I think he may have gone shoulder
- 46:58Speaker 1: enough where it's out. Well they called it a head one, right, Yeah,
- 47:01Speaker 1: but I don't know that was the right cost, we'll say. Unfortunate.
- 47:04Speaker 1: Part about the NFL is find you first, and then
- 47:07Speaker 1: you appeal it and then it goes from there. So
- 47:10Speaker 1: so what's your experience with that? When were you find
- 47:12Speaker 1: like just once for a face mask that you know,
- 47:16Speaker 1: find something to grab onto the face mask was the
- 47:19Speaker 1: logical thing. Maybe you just went rogue just going after it. No.
- 47:23Speaker 1: I had some good tackles, I mean tackles, but not
- 47:27Speaker 1: like that one. That one that was impressive. We got
- 47:30Speaker 1: coming up about that. We'll talk about it when come back. Yeah,
- 47:32Speaker 1: what what do you got coming up? I have got tomorrow. Uh,
- 47:36Speaker 1: you know the story talking to the opposing writer, which
- 47:39Speaker 1: I always enjoy even if nobody else does. Um. But
- 47:43Speaker 1: later in the week, Jalen Ramsey talks on Thursday, and
- 47:46Speaker 1: I get a feeling no matter what I write or say,
- 47:50Speaker 1: that's gonna be the focal point of the weeks. I
- 47:51Speaker 1: think we're all looking forward to go around two thirty.
- 47:54Speaker 1: I think he talks live and then it'll be uh
- 47:57Speaker 1: live live on pay per view. I'm sure that must
- 47:59Speaker 1: CEV you. I'll watch it I'll click on that. Yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 1: I think I'll watch it back a few times. In fact,

- 50:38Speaker 1: been talking this up for a couple of weeks. Shaggy
- 50:41Speaker 1: and I might hang out, you know, Oh yeah, we
- 50:44Speaker 1: probably won't. I know, you'll go way back like you
- 50:47Speaker 1: and LT Right. How old it's sting is gonna be
- 50:51Speaker 1: in the sixties, right, maybe seventy. So I don't know
- 50:54Speaker 1: if he's at all. Because they the police was around
- 50:56Speaker 1: in the eighties early eighties, was like when they got
- 50:59Speaker 1: it big. They like Stinging Shaggy hang out. Like when
- 51:02Speaker 1: they travel around two are these places like they go
- 51:05Speaker 1: to Applebee's or something, you would think, I mean, if
- 51:10Speaker 1: they tour around together, you would think that they hang
- 51:12Speaker 1: out together. I mean, they gotta like each other because
- 51:15Speaker 1: around each other all the time. You can't do a
- 51:17Speaker 1: tour with somebody that you really do you think you
- 51:20Speaker 1: think sting Is is talking to Shaggy one Night's like,
- 51:24Speaker 1: I really liked your work and and it wasn't me.
- 51:27Speaker 1: It was a great song. You sound just like him.
- 51:30Speaker 1: I'm just saying, how did that one come together? I
- 51:35Speaker 1: like both individually, but together It's kind of like, I wonder, yeah,
- 51:38Speaker 1: how do they see? How did they collaborated the collaboration?
- 51:41Speaker 1: Figure this one out? How we can tour together? It's
- 51:44Speaker 1: like when, um, you know, like when did Benson and
- 51:47Speaker 1: Hedges get together to make cigarettes? Right? Amazing to be curious? Yeah,
- 51:53Speaker 1: like them too. Johnson and Johnson Are they related though?
- 51:59Speaker 1: I think it's the same person actually, just Cat Johnson
- 52:01Speaker 1: squared fortunate and he seventy one sixty seven? All right, well,
- 52:13Speaker 1: how old Shaggy? I was gonna say fifty three, okay,
- 52:20Speaker 1: because he was around in the nineties. Yeah, it wasn't
- 52:23Speaker 1: him though. What was his other song that he was like? Really?
- 52:28Speaker 1: Mr Boom Bostick, that was the one, right? I was close?

- 53:59Speaker 1: well at the Venmo out there next week to make sure.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Um, let's get social scobe goaling here,
- 54:05Speaker 1: how about it. Let's do it. We're gonna start off one,
- 54:07Speaker 1: and I want you to keep it clean here, Josh,
- 54:10Speaker 1: did you ever kick one of Blake's balls? Or did
- 54:12Speaker 1: Blake ever play with one of yours? P s I matters?
- 54:15Speaker 1: What's your p S I this. I don't know if
- 54:17Speaker 1: p s I changes on regular offensive footballs to kicking footballs.
- 54:23Speaker 1: I know the texture is different. Are we right on this? Yeah? Yeah,
- 54:26Speaker 1: that's a good way to put it. Um, I don't
- 54:29Speaker 1: know where that he was going with this question. I
- 54:32Speaker 1: was see yes. So the difference between the kicking balls,
- 54:37Speaker 1: well call them k balls and the quarterback balls. Um,
- 54:41Speaker 1: the quarterbacks get to use and break the balls in
- 54:45Speaker 1: throughout the week, so they use them in practice. They
- 54:48Speaker 1: pick out a few. I'm not sure exactly how many
- 54:50Speaker 1: it is that they take to the game. Referees inspect them.
- 54:56Speaker 1: If they they like them, they put him in the game.
- 54:59Speaker 1: The different between the ones that we use and the
- 55:01Speaker 1: quarterbacks use. These balls get shipped to the hotel that
- 55:05Speaker 1: the refs are staying at. The refs bring them to
- 55:08Speaker 1: the game. They actually come out exactly like this. They
- 55:12Speaker 1: inflate them to eleven to thirt p s. I I
- 55:15Speaker 1: believe in the window. Yes, I mean it looks like
- 55:19Speaker 1: absolute crap. If we tried to kick this ball right
- 55:23Speaker 1: here when it came out of the box, it would
- 55:26Speaker 1: probably go ten yards shorter than a normal ball. Would
- 55:29Speaker 1: We get forty five minutes, or I should say the
- 55:31Speaker 1: ball boys for each team get forty five minutes to
- 55:34Speaker 1: break in three balls each, and then they go in
- 55:37Speaker 1: number one through six, and we start out with number one.
- 55:40Speaker 1: If you like it, you keep it in the game.
- 55:42Speaker 1: The more it gets kicked, the more gets broken in.
- 55:44Speaker 1: But no, I have never kicked a quarterback ball, and
- 55:46Speaker 1: Blake's never thrown a a caball. That doesn't happen, But
- 55:51Speaker 1: it couldn't theory if in the it rarely ever does.
- 55:56Speaker 1: The only time I've seen that happen, the refs actually
- 56:00Speaker 1: call a time out and get the other ball in
- 56:02Speaker 1: because they understand that there was a center, whoever snapping
- 56:05Speaker 1: it would know the difference. The centers are even more
- 56:08Speaker 1: neurotic about that because the grip is different and they
- 56:12Speaker 1: know there's a huge difference. It's interesting, it's really not,
- 56:15Speaker 1: but but it makes a huge difference in in our job,
- 56:19Speaker 1: that's for sure. Yeah, I mean the little technical aspect
- 56:21Speaker 1: of that, that's a big deal. Little things like that.
- 56:25Speaker 1: Let's go to another yes, shoe just that brought up something.
- 56:28Speaker 1: Just say, perchance you happen to kick six balls into
- 56:33Speaker 1: the stands, what would you do? Luckily they don't have
- 56:36Speaker 1: to give them back, right if one goes into this,
- 56:38Speaker 1: they don't have to, but they typically do. So what
- 56:41Speaker 1: I would always do whenever that happened at home, if
- 56:43Speaker 1: I kicked one over a net or on a kickoff
- 56:46Speaker 1: kicked it into the stands, I would go get one
- 56:49Speaker 1: of our older footballs that was in the bag and
- 56:52Speaker 1: give it to the ball boy and have them trade
- 56:54Speaker 1: it out, or even sometimes I would sign it and
- 56:56Speaker 1: the ball boy would give it to that fan. And
- 56:59Speaker 1: when that would happen, normally a look over and the
- 57:01Speaker 1: fans are clapping or something like that. So you would
- 57:05Speaker 1: rarely ever lose more than two, that's for sure. It
- 57:08Speaker 1: was like a baseball game. A guy loses a bat
- 57:10Speaker 1: in the stands or something, but he wants to keep
- 57:12Speaker 1: it as the game or he's usually he just gives
- 57:14Speaker 1: like the BP batters. Yeah, you're not gonna find too
- 57:16Speaker 1: many fans that are are going to be that guy
- 57:18Speaker 1: and and keep it, that's for sure. Let's go another
- 57:21Speaker 1: social media question on Twitter today from Edward Dolahan. Here
- 57:26Speaker 1: we go there, here it is, how do you feel
- 57:27Speaker 1: about the cook hit on kick coverage? What do you
- 57:30Speaker 1: see in his future as a punter and kickoff specialist?
- 57:33Speaker 1: He did kick off at mistake. How does he compare
- 57:36Speaker 1: to Lambeau on kickoffs? Well, first part to that question,
- 57:41Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the hit was really really impressive. Um,
- 57:45Speaker 1: he got flagged for it, which I don't understand how
- 57:48Speaker 1: you get flagged for a perfect hit. Hopefully he doesn't
- 57:52Speaker 1: get fine for it, he probably will. And second part
- 57:55Speaker 1: to that, he I think he's gonna be a really
- 57:57Speaker 1: good punter and asset for this team. UM kickoff specialist.
- 58:02Speaker 1: He's got a really powerful leg. But I always like
- 58:05Speaker 1: to see the kickers doing that job. And I think
- 58:07Speaker 1: the difference between he and Lambeau is that Um Cook
- 58:12Speaker 1: just has you know, maybe a little bit more strength. Um.
- 58:16Speaker 1: But it's like I said, it's just good to have
- 58:19Speaker 1: the kicker doing that job, doing both of those, and
- 58:22Speaker 1: not worry about the punter doing one of those because
- 58:25Speaker 1: you have a kicker it probably has a little better
- 58:28Speaker 1: feel of where it's going in that motion. Yeah, it's
- 58:30Speaker 1: a completely different motion kicking and punting. So I think
- 58:34Speaker 1: you let a punter do one job, kicker do both. Alright.
- 58:38Speaker 1: Our final tweet today comes from Josh Scobi himself on
- 58:42Speaker 1: the golf course today. Come on a near ace on
- 58:46Speaker 1: seventeen at TPC saga Ass at the stadium. There's a
- 58:51Speaker 1: ballmark like an inch or two from the from the
- 58:54Speaker 1: hole and then you're within two feet. Yeah, what did
- 58:57Speaker 1: you hit? What did you use? Let's hear it. It It
- 58:58Speaker 1: was a hundred and forty upon yards, Uh, just a
- 59:01Speaker 1: little nine iron and it looked good the entire way.
- 59:05Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna go in right when it hit.
- 59:07Speaker 1: So it hit right past the flag and checked up
- 59:10Speaker 1: and spun back to two right there, probably about a
- 59:12Speaker 1: foot and a half two ft was that the Thursday placement?
- 59:16Speaker 1: That the sun. That's not the Sunday, Thursday or Friday
- 59:19Speaker 1: that it was kind of top left shelf. It was.
- 59:22Speaker 1: It was a fun day, well done. Thank you, hey,
- 59:25Speaker 1: good show man. Fun giants coming up this week. Real football.
