00:00I genuinely thought that the Indianapolis Colts were bluffing.
00:04I thought that they were going to trade Jonathan Taylor to the highest bidder.
00:08They decided not to.
00:10Tony Pollard was not traded.
00:12So ultimately, the Giants didn't have an active trade deadline.
00:16But I can't be annoyed because the guys that we were talking about,
00:20the guys that they were targeting, weren't traded.
00:23No, you're right. There was no movement.
00:24And I guess I just speculated that this was going to be the case
00:27over the last couple of weeks simply because of what Joe Shane said
00:31two weeks ago, a week and a half ago during a bye week,
00:34that they don't have the assets to do this.
00:37They don't have a fourth-round pick.
00:39They don't have a fifth-round pick.
00:40And when you're sitting in that role for a guy like Tony Pollard,
00:44you need to give up a fourth-round pick or a fifth-round pick.
00:47And they just didn't have the assets,
00:48and they didn't want to kick them down the line,
00:49nor did they want to get guys who were kind of short-term rentals
00:53that weren't going to do anything for the future.
00:55We believe that the Giants have a chance to make the postseason this year.
00:58Obviously, winning the division gets them there.
01:00They host a home game, and anything can happen in the postseason.
01:05But we all have to admit, this is ahead of schedule
01:08than where we thought they were going to be.
01:10Because I remember we did this preseason.
01:12What's the Giants' record going to be?
01:14I was waffling between 7 and 10, 8 and 9.
01:18They got five wins already.
01:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:21They're already there.
01:22And so it just feels like the Giants are way ahead of schedule
01:27and don't need to be desperate to go do something
01:30at the trade deadline that will come back and haunt them.
