Summary

Lefkoe and Westbrook are getting into the biggest story of the day: is Eli Manning (2x Super Bowl champ, in case you hadn't heard) a Hall of Famer? The debate goes in a variety of interesting directions, culminating in Westbrook's epic defense of how Donovan McNabb was unfairly treated throughout his NFL career. Which leads to the ultimate debate: Who is the greatest black quarterback of all-time? The answer may surprise you, but the data does not lie! Check back throughout the NFL season for more in-depth football analysis from Lefkoe and Eagles legend Brian Flippin' Westbrook!

What is up? What is good? How you living? How you feeling? L-E-F-K-O-E man? And I'm here with Brian Westbrook. Number 36, as we always are. That's right, man.

0:23.0

Giants listen to us, man. They did. We did a podcast. We put out I put out a clip of us. You were like, we need to do this. Daniel Jones,

0:32.0

Sequan Barclay, a month ago, I said, Daniel Jones is going to play during week three. And Shermer and Mara said, all right? They listen to the podcast. They're smart men. They are.

0:42.0

And they also have, obviously they have eyes. And they can see that something isn't right. Where you, it didn't feel shocking to anybody.

0:50.0

No. I actually felt dumb because I went, Eli's record is 116 and 116. Of course it's happening now.

0:58.0

Yeah. That was, if Eli finished his career 116 and 117, oh man. It felt obvious when I heard that statistic.

1:07.0

You could have made the argument that they should have benched Eli two years ago. No matter fact they did. I mean, you, you, so last year, I tried to, I'm watching him. And I'm like, eh, something's wrong with Eli.

1:19.0

And there's nothing wrong with them. Arms a little bit weaker. Can't move around in the pocket. The other part is the thing that you do with young quarterbacks and aging quarterbacks is surrounded with talent. Yes.

1:29.0

They surrounded him with one talented guy. That's it. And they got rid of the other talented guy. So they got rid of, oh, Bell, oh, Dale Bucking Jr. Yeah. And they got, say, Quon. Other than that.

1:39.0

There's no talent. No. And that's the concern, especially when you have a one dimensional quarterback that stays in the pocket and tries his best to throw the ball.

1:47.0

And I will still stand by the fact that I think Eli looked better this year than he has the last two years. Like I thought he came in in the best shape. I thought that he actually made a few good throws on Sunday. Yeah.

1:59.0

But all of his ride receivers drop everything. And the only guy really has a sake one. But it's been time to go. This team needed to go in another direction. And I thought your point.

2:10.0

You only have one chance to let these two young guys grow together. Yes. And now if I'm a Giants fan and my team is going down to Tampa Bay. And I have Daniel Jones maybe doing a little read option with sake one Barclay.

2:23.0

And I got Evan Ingram at tight end. I'm excited to watch Sunday's game. Well, the Giants since Eli has been the quarterback there in Tampa. Two in one. And the last time they play they lost was 2017. But it was one of Eli's best games. Right.

2:37.0

Two touchdowns. No interceptions. 91 quarterback rating was 300 yards in the rain. Giants always play well in Tampa. They in the other two games. They outscored on 56 to 18. Right. So I look at this team. I think that Todd Bowles is going to be a tough matchup for Daniel Jones. Very good.

2:57.0

It's a it's a place where Devon White is out. They're starting middle line backer for the Tampa Bay Bucks. And they don't have a good pass rusher. You know who their best pass rusher is.

3:07.4

Who's that? JPP. And he's out right now. Because of his accident in the off season. Now the fireworks. He actually got into a car. Actually every off season. He's got something. But if it was JPP versus Daniel Jones, that headline would be amazing. I think that the Bucks are a good defense. But sake one in Daniel Jones can get something done.

3:26.0

Well, this is what I think about the Bucks and I do think they're a good defense. However, this is a good thing for Daniel Jones. Yes. We know that James Winston will throw the ball to the other team. So it's going to keep you in the game longer. So instead of saying, Hey, I need Daniel Jones to throw the ball 50 times in the game just so we can score points. You can say, OK, we can live with more run plays. I just wrote it down, which is kind of crazy to me. Say, Juan Barkley first two weeks, 36 touches 29 runs, seven passes, what that he's caught. To me, he should be the

3:56.0

between every week. Yeah, you should be between for this team. 23 and 28 touches per week, which is kind of crazy. But this is the only weapon that you have a specially now. Yes, and it doesn't have to be between the tackles touches. No, if

4:10.7

sake one isn't getting seven eight targets in the passing game screens, little shovel passes. Will you bring it down to Jones? He should get he should be catching

4:19.2

both four to seven times per game. I every game. We subscribe to the fact that patch

4:24.2

Schirmer has been running an offense for Daniel Jones, the entire pre-sism and the first two weeks so that it's an easier
