Summary

I've mentioned on this podcast before, but some new newcomers might not know. I worked as a

0:04.8

bouncer at this bar. I went to college. You knew this, right? Yeah, yeah, you told me. I worked as a

0:10.3

bouncer at this bar. The stories I have from that are unbelievably epic, arguably the smallest

0:16.0

bouncer in the history of the bouncing game. No idea why I did this, but I wanted a job.

0:21.7

I needed a job.

0:22.9

My friend Alex, who's 6'4, was a bouncer, got too drunk, noticeably, wasn't showing

0:27.8

up for work.

0:28.4

One day he's like, I can't go to work today.

0:30.4

I can't make it out.

0:31.4

Take this shirt.

0:32.2

And they knew me at the bar because this was our regular bar, Nick.

0:35.1

But he's like, take this shirt and see what happens.

0:37.6

And the guy gave me a shot. And I was a bouncer for two years. hilarious. Two years. Okay. Yeah, I needed money in college bad. Like I had no money back then. So I needed to do whatever I can, scrape and scrap for cash. And I found it fun to be a bouncer for a lot of reasons. But anyway, let's get to the Giants football. And I want to start with Shane Bowen. And I want to start with this Giants game plan. We chastised the Giants game plan last week. We took some heat for it. But I don't think anything you could say this week. I think anything you would say, anyone who would evaluate this week on tape would say the total opposite. And we'll get to the date, but it's not just the tape. You could listen

1:15.8

to Deshawn Watson in his postgame interview and shout out again to Giants fan in Charlotte. He

1:20.8

posted this and that's where I saw it. But Deshawn Watson talked about how much he was fooled by

1:25.9

Shane Bowen, who again, 25% blitz rate the first two weeks, 57% blitz rate. And Deshawn Watson got detailed with it, Nick. I don't know if you had a chance to listen to it, but he talked about how there were down in distances, looks that he got from the Giants that they were not prepared for at all. And this is how you win football games. You confuse offenses and you give them things that

1:44.3

they didn't prepare for. They spend a whole week, Deshaun Watson and his coaching staff, preparing for something that they're going to see on, that they've seen on tape that they expect to see in downs and distances. And your coordinator, you give him something completely different. Nick, I broke down. We can let this run now, because I'm sure you have some plays you want to breakdown so maybe we can let this one now.

1:41.8

But I put together most of the Giants pressures, not all 36. We can let this run now because I'm sure you have some plays you want to break down. So maybe we can let this one now.

2:01.3

But I put together most of the Giants pressures, not all 36 of them. That's a crazy number. You had the stat on it. It was the most pressure since when for the Giants. Yeah, Dan. The Giants had 36 pressures, as you said. That is the most pressures the New York Giants have ever had since Pro Football focus started calculating pressures, which is nuts. They had 35 twice. I went through and I looked through every single freaking game. 36 pressures is insane. That's an insane amount of pressures and the Giants were able to get after it. And we'll go over exactly why here in a little bit. But if you're watching on YouTube, you can see most of those pressures are up on the screen right now. Yeah, I put most of them up here. So many fun plays, blitzes from places they weren't expecting. A lot of games up front from the Giants. You saw that sack from Elijah Chapman, who got his first career sack, which is so fun. Look at how happy Dexter Lawrence is after that sack for Elijah Chapman, if you have a chance to reverse that,

2:51.2

if not, no worries. Those of you watch that saw it. But that also makes me happy to see Dexter Lawrence, one of the leaders of this team, just so happy to see this undrafted free agent get this first career sack. You watch him after this play. Oh, runs up to him and hugs him, man. It's just so cool for me to see the excitement come back to this team and this defense.

2:49.4

We'll go over a lot of them, Nick.

2:50.9

Obviously, you have the breakdowns. It runs up to him and hugs him, man. It's just so cool for me to see the excitement come back to this team and this defense.
