0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to Talk of Giants, brought to you by Seekykeek, it is September 17, 2025.
0:05.3	And I'll tell you what, man, I'm a little bit more mad and pissed off today than I even was on Sunday.
0:12.7	Because Sunday, that was exhausting.
0:15.3	It was exhausting.
0:16.2	There was a lot of good that happened, and certainly the ending was gutting and it was gut wrenching and I would say
0:22.5	that's the emotion of Sunday versus now you get a chance to watch the film, you get a chance
0:27.0	to look at some stats like we do, some smart people that cover this team also get a chance
0:32.3	to point out film and they get a chance to be like, hey, look at these safeties and look at the
0:36.6	depty safeties are playing and it's a third and four and these safeties get a chance to be like, hey, look at these safeties and look at the depty safeties are playing.
0:37.8	And it's a third and four. And these safeties are 20 yards off the ball. We're playing too high. And the safeties at the snap are running backwards.

0:55.7	we're allowing 12 yards of cushion. And we know that like that even impacts the bass rushers.
1:02.3	The, the cushion that you play on the back end ultimately impacts how the front can play as well.
1:09.7	Because when you allow cushion and when you allow these quarterbacks to get
1:12.3	rid of the ball quick, even if they're throwing it short of the sticks,
1:16.2	it doesn't allow the pass rush to tee off like they're supposed to.
1:21.2	So now that you've got a chance to really look at everything,
1:24.4	this is infuriating.
1:27.6	The giant second and third down defense through the first two weeks of the season,
1:33.6	both Dallas and Washington, their average to go distance on second and third down is 8.3
1:41.0	yards to go. That is the sixth best in the NFL.
1:47.2	Do you want to know where they rank in yards per play?
