All right. Well, welcome back to another edition of Inside BBI with John and Eric
0:30
John McDev and with me, of course, Senior Editor of Big Blue Interactive, Mr. Eric Kennedy and
0:34
Eric, we're previewing games. I don't know. The excitement of the game itself is not really
0:39
there. It's more about the organization, but here we are heading into the weekend. The Giants
0:44
are lucky enough to do what they do best, and that is play on prime time. And this is a special
0:49
Saturday edition of our podcast. So this is new. So I should be mowing the yard right now
0:56
but I'm enjoying this with, again, I'm drinking way early. Nice. So I guess this podcast has given me an excuse to buy
1:07
help the economy in one way and that to buy more beverages Nice So what do you I trying to keep up a view What do you What do Yeah please don say I going to you know I trying to do what you doing So I every time my wife or I are in the grocery store I trying to look for something different
1:22
And so we do a lot of stuff at Lidol and Aldi and stuff like that. So it's whatever they got
1:26
And the stuff is this Independence Harbor stuff that I bought. It's not that great
1:31
You know, I, but I don't want to keep buying the beer that I like it to get boring
1:35
I like Sam Adams and, you know, you know, stuff. But I'm trying to do new stuff
1:39
and maybe I'll find something. Well, I'm still trying to work off the $150 worth of beer that we have
1:44
So I'm back to the Italian Pillsinger. I am going to grab some different ones
1:48
I was joking with my wife, my wife, Andrea, just prior to this
1:53
And so I was getting beer. She mentioned, she actually brought it up. She's like, I'm thinking, Jesus, how much beer do you think I drink
1:59
She goes, do you need to get, we're out Monday to go pick something up
2:03
Do you want to stop at this place that we know and get some just individual beers? I was like, yeah, I probably should
2:08
I only have like the four main options now. And it's kind of the same thing
2:12
And I go, but you know what? I need to find. I need to find some slits
2:16
She goes, why do you need slits? I go, well, if we're going to talk about shit, I want to have a shit beer and be like, this, this is for you
2:23
So, yeah. So but I do need to find some others But I having the Italian Pilsner today from before So here we are It is a Saturday We don normally do these on Saturday Giants are on prime time again
2:36
You might be able to see it might not, but you definitely will see it on the thumbnail when I do put it up
2:41
Daniel Jones' last four primetime games, he scored, led the Giants to a grand total of 25 points
2:47
That's six points per game. I think it's probably one point per year that he's been in the league
2:51
So here we go, prime time against the steel. In Pittsburgh against the eighth ranked defense, second ranked run defense
3:01
So you know, Davele's either not going to try to run or we probably won't be able to
3:06
because we've got offensive line issues now. Yeah, we got talk about that. So this has got disaster written all over it
3:12
I mean, I had to write my game preview today and I've been doing this for 30 years and
3:18
I've got nothing. I mean, I've got nothing. And I don't want to be like this
3:22
people are this is the thing that sucks we started this podcast we started this podcast
3:27
a hundredth year anniversary of the giants let's go and i want to be positive but
3:32
you can't be inauthent or people are going to call you out in your BS this isn't we're
3:38
not a cheerleading squad here we got to call it like we see it this sucks but there was there was a moment in time there was a moment in time where there was middle of the road where we were like man if only if only the kicker didn get hurt before the game in Washington
3:54
if only neighbors doesn't drop the ball. And all those things are true to a point
4:01
But when you look at it now, now that we're seven games in
4:05
you could actually go back and go, geez, if we didn't have
4:09
have this particular thing happen, we might have lost to Cleveland. If we didn't have this thing happen, you know, we might, we might have lost, you know
4:18
this game or we might not even have been in this other game. It's the fine line that they, that the Giants run is, is so fine that any little hiccup is probably
4:30
going to derail the team. They are not a team to overcome any bump in the road
4:34
And now the bump in the road is we might not have our right tackle, but we didn't
4:38
want to move to left tackle. And so Neil might be playing, which you kind of think is a good thing
4:43
right? You're like, okay, we're getting having new. They don't seem to want to play them. They only are doing it if they're forced into it. And then we're possibly going to play Chris
4:52
Hubbard, who's been on the team for what? Two weeks at left tackle. Even if that, it seems
4:58
like we just signed him
