It has to be one of the weakest divisions
of all the National Football League, the NFC East.
has a game tonight so everybody really including
the Eagles if you think about it are still in the
race to see who wins the division title
but this is a pretty big ball game tonight obviously for
the Giants it's going to be in the Meadowlands tonight
and no question about it the fans will
pack the stands and guess what J.J. McCarthy gets
an opportunity to play in front of the fans but
first and foremost guess what he was asked the question
Guess what?
Kirk Cousins is now going back to Minnesota.
Did you hear they added a quarterback today?
Did not hear that, no.
Oh.
Kirk Cousins is going back.
Yeah, wishing nothing but the best of luck.
And I know he's loving that building.
Does anybody believe that right there?
He's a great fit.
Organization, it just told you, hey, go away.
Yeah, okay, I'm sure you're happy for him here.
But he did end up talking about what it was like to start
on Thursday night football in front of the giant crowd.
Haven't thought about it until now,
but I'm just so blessed to be a part of this team.
I say it over and over again,
and I just can't thank the Giants organization and the fan
base for welcoming me, and at the end of the day,
it's running out there to do my job at
a high level and go get a win on Thursday night.
That's the only thing I care about,
so just being able to embrace that, soak it up, but
at the end of the day, it's about that first play.
Just in context here,
if this guy goes out and ends up winning the NFC East,
And he ends up maybe winning a playoff game.
Are you going back to Jackson Dart next year?
Or do you think you have kind of a quarterback controversy going on
with these two quarterbacks if you have that dynamic in the building?
What does John Harbaugh do?
But then again, look at the standings here.
Giants are sitting at 5-2-1.
Also, he was asked a question
on J.J. McCarthy getting that start tonight,
his first time at the Meadowlands.
Yeah, you know, I hadn't thought about it.
That's a great question.
I'm probably going to have to think about that.
Maybe someone else is better to talk to him about that.
You know, Jameis or Jackson, probably one of those guys,
probably would be best to talk to him about that.
And maybe I'll ask him to do that, you know.
But, uh...
He'll be ready.
He's played in a lot of big stadiums before and he'll love our fans.
I can tell him that.
I can tell him that he's going to love our fans.
He will love the fans there.
But hey, you know, the status that we have right now
in Washington, Washington, D.C.,
with all the chaos, with the politics,
I'm starting to think that the Commanders.
Have kind of like an identity, kind of like what's going
on with our political scene in Washington, D.C.
Because if you want to be confused,
you have to listen to these next two guys.
Let's start it out here with Jaden Daniels.
I think we're far ahead where we were in OTAs, but we're still growing
and we're still, you know, learning and going through things.
He's a first-time coordinator.
So he has grown pains that he's going through and stuff like that.
It's not going to be perfect as much as you want it to be,
but we're still continuing to stick to the process
and really just going from there.
So hang on.
Is he saying David Blau sucks?
I'm missing that one here.
And Jaden, continue the conversation.
And he's talking about, hey, we're playing with the hand we're dealt?
I mean, that's what you would love for sure.
You know, at that point, you want to hit it rolling from day one.
That's just not what the reality is right now.
So we continue, like I said, guys are in and out the lineup.
I was in and out the lineup, you know, things like that.
So we dealt with a lot of things, but we also are,
you know, playing the cards that were dealt.
Okay, well, you want to get more confused?
I want you to hear the head football coach of the Commanders.
Let's get more confused, shall we?
I interact with a lot.
I give a lot of feedback.
And so when it's not being met,
what tweaks do we have to make,
what things need to change?
And so that's usually where I'm at.
I ask for their input.
If it's a coaching question that I have,
if this is happening,
what is contingency X, Y, Z to do that?
Thank you.
But I am, you know,
they know I'm agitated about it
to make sure, like,
It's the whole game, and playing and being competitive,
that's not what we stand for.
Playing tough, it's got to be the whole time, Candy.
That's what we're after, and that fuels me to challenge us
to get that part right.
I believe in them.
I believe in the staff and the players.
I like the practice they've thrown,
but it comes down to the execution of the game,
and that's the name of it, and that's what we've got to get done.
Yeah, who's Candy?
Compelling, shrewd, inspiring.
I'm ready to be a Commander fan.
Let's go.
Hashtag LFG, Commanders, how you doing?
I mean, now I know why that football team is confused.
It plays confused on the football field,
and it plays confused behind the scenes.
The Commanders right now are poorly led
by both the quarterback and by the head coach.
Until you get continuity in that building,
you're going nowhere in Washington, D.C.
You know, listen, the Giants are not a great football team.
But the Giants have piecemealed the 5-2-1-1 record together.
And they have absolutely shown what good coaching
and putting people in the right position is all about.
I don't know what the New York Giants
are going to do when it comes to the playoffs.
But I do know this, they're in a great direction.
And that's led by John Harbaugh, no question about it.
