So you get Gino Smith, Tyler Lockett on a fourth down, late third quarter yesterday in

0:03.9

Vegas, and you're thinking, all right, maybe here we go. The Giants are about to cough up another fourth quarter lead and lose another game, but not on this day. Salt and the wound for the fan, like C-Mack, who already got into it and was rooting for a loss in the number one overall pick. And if you listen to Bob Papa here, he certainly did not have Tank on his mind. Kick comes to the near side. Banks fields it at the five. He's to the 20. He's to the 30.

0:26.6

There goes Banks. Along the left. He's across midfield. It's a foot race. Deante Banks to the 20. 10, 5. Touchdown Giants.

0:36.5

And that's how you respond after giving up the fourth and goal touchdown pass.

0:42.4

Banks takes it to the house.

0:43.7

95 yards.

0:45.4

Untouched.

0:46.2

I love them, but that's how you respond.

0:47.7

That's how you respond.

0:48.6

That's how you respond.

0:49.3

If the Giants could have nothing else, they are good at responding.

0:53.2

It also means a happy flight home and not misery on another plane ride back in Vegas. And then on sportsman-like celebration penalty to boot. They got very excited at the giant's day that ran on the field. Who know? They were all in the end zone. They were crazy. I mean, you know, say this for two teams. A bit chippy. It was very chippy.

1:11.2

How about Jamal Adams and James Winston coming to the aid of the coaching staff on the sideline? That also comes back to the point that when those guys are out there, they don't give a damn about records. They're actually trying to win 100%. I'm sure the Raiders are extra chippy because they recognize their organization said we don't care. Right. Like, I'm sure there's absolutely part of that.

1:28.5

And then some of the guys in the post game were pissed off about the idea that... because they recognized their organization said, we don't care. Right. Like, I'm sure there's absolutely part of that.

1:28.5

And then some of the guys in the post game were pissed off about the idea that they were tanking or whatever, which is almost laughable. Max Crosby goes home. He's got the video out there shooting hoops off one leg with it. You don't keep in mind when you talk about all this as well, and I know you know this, But, you know, for a lot of these guys, they're going to be looking for another job next year.

1:46.0

You don't want to be the guy out there whiffing on tackles and looking like you don't care. No, of course. As Banks is sauntering into the end zone, all I could think of was those Carl Banks clips I played last week where he was expletive-laced on the podcast with Papa talking about you know banks being a stiff during the game but when you watch

2:03.4

you in pregamegame warm-ups you know we think this guy's a stud and there he was I mean I'd have to pull the clips for you to play him I'm summarizing a little bit but his point was you look at his physique and the way he moves in warm-ups and you would think that this guy would be an accomplished, like similar to why they probably fell in love with him in the draft. You don't know until you know any of these kids. Apparently he was a wink guy. He was brought in for the wink system, and it hasn't worked out since they unsancromaniously moved on from him. Since Dable couldn't work with Mink and then brought in... Did I say i say mink i think i probably did everyone could work with mink is it everyone can work with me everyone can work that is very true i don't understand why the like pop on the call there and i know carl banks love carl got a chance to work with him a little bit a long time ago great guy the best he has a real problem with understanding why fans feel this way like if you're

2:52.1

like lawrence tines i'll love him forever sure we all we all giant fans well yeah but he's

2:58.6

putting out of tweet like this is why blah blah blah like stop it just stop it players that's why i don't

3:05.0

take the step back they're getting a paycheck to place but they don't care. Take the step back. They're getting a paycheck to play.

3:08.9

But they don't.

3:09.8
