Blue Wire.

Welcome back.

This is the Big Blue Banter.

New York Giants football podcast.

I'm Dan Schneier.

Join me,

as always my co-ist, Nick Palado.

Today we have a special guest joining the show.

It's Jeff Kavanaugh.

Play the music.

Oh, yep.

Kavanaugh! It's awesome. I love it. And we're going to be talking Giants Cowboys. He's a film guy, too. He loves the same kind of X's and O stuff that we do on this podcast. And I promise you, like the Giants reporter who asked Kvon Tibido last night, how he's going to compare his career to Mika Parsons and he's going to be how it feels

to be measured against it for the next few years. We won't be asking any of those questions because we don't care about that type of stupid stuff. So Jeff, how are you doing today? And thanks for joining us on the show. I'm great. Micah is very good. Michael Parsons is very good at football. Michael Parsons is the reason the Cowboys got to win a football game.

Yay, Micah.

We love Micah.

Call my co-host out for referring to him as me. good at football. Micah Parsons is the reason the Cowboys got to win a football game. Yay, Micah.

We love Micah.

Call my co-host out for referring to him as Mika, like he's Mika Zabana and New York Rangers. I do have issues with pronunciations of names. It's a longstanding bit on this show, but it's not really a bit because it's true, and it's just natural for me. But I know. Plus words are weird.

Like I pronounce the P and pateredactyl.

And there's no reason to, but you're not supposed to, but they put the letter there. So I say it. When do you find yourself using the word dioractyl? Just when I'm pointing out how I like to say, Pateradactyl. I like it. I like it, Jeff. Well, thank you for joining us today. We want to talk a little scheme. We want to talk a little X's and O's as well.

So I want to start with something I've noticed about the Dan Quinn defense over his couple years now with the Cowboys year and a year and a year and change, I should say. Runs a lot of cover one. My question for you on the back end, do you feel like this matchup? So the Giants haven't really faced the defense yet that's run a lot of cover one. I haven't really faced the defense that's run a lot of man coverage yet in their first two games. And in the past, Daniel Jones, who struggled overall, has done a little bit better against man coverage and zone coverage. From what you've seen in the first two games, is the defense that he's running this year pretty similar to what he's run in past years? or as he kind of differentiated it based on the matchups in the first two games is the defense that he's running this year pretty similar to what he's run in past years or is he kind of differentiated it based on the matchups in the first two weeks and how do you think he'll approach daniel jones this week oh i think it's i think it's fairly similar and they've got um it's weird because you're playing against daniel jones and like my thing about the giants is they're two and oh and I'm like man this is a winnable game for the Cowboys with a backup quarterback even though they're two and oh I'm like but I'm just I'm looking at the entire Giants offense and I'm like well the left tackle looks like he's playing well the rest of them not so much the most explosive playmaker on the team, they don't get the ball to.

And if they do, he immediately leaves the field.
