Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

0:08.0

Join us always my coach. Nick Vallado. Today we are here to break down the all 22 coaches film on the defensive side of the ball.

0:14.3

Another game plan very similar to the ones we've seen from Shane Bowen throughout his tenure with the New York Football Giants.

0:20.8

And this past week, opposing quarterback for the St. Spencer Ratton. to the ones we've seen from Shane Bowen throughout his tenure with the New York football Giants.

0:28.5

And this past week, opposing quarterback for the same Spencer Rattler said, or slipped up when he said, yeah,

0:32.8

prepping for this Giants team, it's a little different because unlike what we've gone against,

0:34.1

they don't really disguise coverages.

0:37.8

Some thought that might motivate the Giants to do something different to come up with the game plan that's unique to this specific quarterback in this specific game.

0:41.6

But no, that simply was not the case.

0:44.9

And I think a lot of the solutions the Saints found in this game were simply because they

0:51.7

knew it was coming on the defense side of the ball from the New York football Giants, which is really an embarrassment at this point, to be quite frank. It is what it is.

1:14.6

really bad in this game.

1:16.2

The Giants offense, they weren't really bad in this game either.

1:19.3

It was really just mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, which is just means they're so damn

1:26.1

collectively bad that they can't even get out of their own

1:28.7

freaking way it's so infuriating dude watching the tape and you're right man spencer rattler

1:34.2

says that about Shane bowen and then Spencer rattler just proved him right they knew what the

1:38.1

giants was they were going to run it was third and five third and six we're just going to have

1:42.1

man beaters on this side and guess what oh there in third and five look. It's not disguised at all. Spencer Rattler is getting the football out of his hands. The Giants pass rush is being negated because the defensive coordinator does not disguise the defense at all to put the milliseconds in the mind of the quarterback, the consternation in the minds of the quarterback

2:01.4

that will allow this pass rush to get home.

2:03.8

They're hamstring in the pass rush because every quarterback knows what the giants are doing.
