00:00And what has to be one of the weakest divisions, all the National Football League, the NFC least, has a
00:06game tonight.
00:07So everybody really, including the Eagles, if you think about it, are still in the race to see who wins
00:13the division title.
00:14But this is a pretty big ballgame tonight, obviously for the Giants.
00:17It's going to be in the Meadowlands tonight, and no question about it, the fans will pack the stands.
00:23And guess what? J.J. McCarthy gets an opportunity to play in front of the fans.
00:28But first and foremost, guess what? He was asked the question, guess what?
00:34Kirk Cousins is now going back to Minnesota.
00:37Did you hear that you added a quarterback today?
00:39Did not hear that, no.
00:41Oh.
00:41Kirk Cousins is going back. Yeah, wishing nothing but the best of luck.
00:45And I know he's left in that building.
00:48Does anybody believe that right there?
00:48It'll be a great day.
00:51Yeah, organization, it just told you, hey, go away.
00:54Yeah, okay, I'm sure you're happy for him here.
00:55But he did end up talking about what it was like to start on Thursday Night Football in front of
01:01the Giant crowd.
01:03I haven't thought about it until now.
01:05But, you know, I'm just so blessed to be a part of this team.
01:08You know, I say it over and over again.
01:09And, you know, I just can't, you know, thank the Giants organization and the fan base, you know, for welcoming
01:15me.
01:15And, you know, at the end of the day, it's running out there to do my job at a high
01:19level and go get a win on Thursday night.
01:20That's the only thing I care about.
01:22So just being able to embrace that, soak it up.
01:25But at the end of the day, it's about that first play.
01:28Let's put this in context here.
01:30If this guy goes out and ends up winning the NFC East and he ends up maybe winning a playoff
01:35game, are you going back to Jackson Dart next year?
01:39Or do you think you have kind of a quarterback controversy going on with these two quarterbacks if you have
01:45that dynamic in the building?
01:47What does John Harbaugh do?
01:48But then again, look at the standings here.
01:50Giants are sitting at 5-2-1.
01:52Also, he was asked a question on J.J. McCarthy getting that start tonight, his first time at the Meadowlands.
01:59Yeah, you know, I hadn't thought about it.
02:01That's a great question.
02:02I'm probably going to have to think about that.
02:03Maybe someone else is better to talk to him about that.
02:06You know, Jameis or Jackson, probably one of those guys, probably would be best to talk to him about that.
02:11And maybe I'll ask him to do that, you know.
02:13But he'll be ready.
02:15He's played in a lot of big stadiums before, and he'll love our fans.
02:18I can tell him that.
02:19I can tell him that.
02:20He's going to love our fans.
02:22He will love the fans there.
02:23But, hey, you know the status that we have right now in Washington, D.C., with all the chaos, with
02:30the politics?
02:31I'm starting to think that the commanders have kind of like an identity, kind of like what's going on with
02:39our political scene in Washington, D.C.
02:42Because if you want to be confused, you have to listen to these next two guys.
02:46Let's start it out here with Jaden Daniels.
02:49I think we're far ahead where we were in OTAs, but we're still growing, and we're still, you know, learning
02:56and going through things.
02:57He's his first-time coordinator, so he has growing pains that he's going through and stuff like that.
03:01It's not going to be perfect as much as you want it to be, but we still continue to stick
03:06to the process and really just going from there.
03:09So, hang on.
03:10Is he saying David Blau sucks?
03:12I'm missing that one here.
03:14And Jaden, you continue the conversation, and he's talking about, hey, we're playing with the hand we're dealt?
03:23I mean, that's what you would love, for sure, you know, at that point.
03:27You want to hit a rolling from day one, and that's just not what the reality is right now.
03:33So, we continue, like I said, guys are in and out the lineup.
03:36I was in and out the lineup, you know, things like that.
03:38So, we dealt with a lot of things, but we also are, you know, playing the cards that we're dealt.
03:45Okay, well, you want to get more confused?
03:48I want you to hear the head football coach of the commanders.
03:51Let's get more confused, shall we?
03:54Interact with a lot.
03:54I give a lot of feedback.
03:55And so, when it's not being met, what tweaks do we have to make, what things need to change?
04:03And so, that's usually where I'm at.
04:05I ask for their input.
04:07If it's a coaching question that I have, if this is happening, what is contingency X, Y, Z to do
04:14that?
04:16But I am, you know, they know I'm agitated about it to make sure, like, it's the whole game.
04:25And playing and being competitive, like, that's not what we stand for.
04:29Like, you know, playing tough, like, it's got to be the whole time, Candy.
04:31That's what we're after.
04:35And that fuels me to challenge us to get that part right.
04:38I believe in them.
04:38I believe in the staff and the players.
04:40I like the practice they've thrown.
04:41But, man, it comes down to the execution of the game.
04:44And that's the name of it, and that's what we've got to get done.
04:48Yeah, who's Candy?
04:50Compelling.
04:52Shrewd.
04:53Inspiring.
04:54I'm ready to be a Commander fan.
04:56Let's go.
04:58Hashtag LFG, Commanders.
05:01How you doing?
05:01I mean, now I know why that football team is confused.
05:05It plays confused on the football field, and it plays confused behind the scenes.
05:10The Commanders right now are poorly led by both the quarterback and by the head coach.
05:16Until you get continuity in that building, you're going nowhere in Washington, D.C.
05:21You know, listen, the Giants are not a great football team.
05:24But the Giants have piecemealed the 5-2-1 record together.
05:27And they have absolutely shown what good coaching and putting people in the right position is all about.
05:34I don't know what the New York Giants are going to do when it comes to the playoffs.
05:37But I do know this.
05:38They're in a great direction.
05:39And that's led by John Harbaugh.
05:41No question about it.
