Speaker 1 (00:02):
Who let's talk Giants football, brought to you by Curtis
lumber your local full service home center and Lumberyard. And
now from the New York Giants pre and postgame show,
it's John Schmelk.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Good morning, Good morning John.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Did you did you tell Tiki? We said, Hi, No,
You're not gonna tell.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, in fairness, I have not spoken to Tiki since
he last spoke.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
So definitely, well, well, what do you do? You maybe
have teaky tweet Cantera or something he would like that
you have. You have spoken a coach dable and I
know you can't give a ton away, but it's Giants
Casey this Sunday night. What's the mindset?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
He doesn't say anything anyway, I don't want he He doesn't.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Say what time does he meet with you?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
He's an early guy, right at seven am. I believe
you are the first people on its schedule on Friday morning.
So what's your read then? I mean, if he's not
saying anything, you definitely know the guy. You read him? Well?
What sense? I mean in terms of what like? I
think he feels like the team has has a chance
to win this week. I think he was pretty happy
with how they played last week, especially offensively. I think
(01:13):
he likes the group of guys that he has here. Now,
you just got to go out there against the defending
AFC champions when they're oh and two and and it'd
be Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
It sounds easier, right, So ye, I mean, look at
the Chiefs are obviously beatable, they're oh in two. But
you know you can't and you don't want to look
past this game. But oh and three, that's just that's
that's hard.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That's hard, man bad if that happens.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
No, look, if you get to to Owen three, the
chances of making the postseason become like almost non existent.
I got I got a stat here. I'll try to
bring it up as an answering this question. But look,
this is you know, you hate to say must win
games this early in the year, but if there's a
must win game, and by the way, it's for both teams,
(01:58):
both the Chiefs and the Giants, you know they have
to win this game at Owen two. So number here's it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Give it to us.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, so the Chiefs have that the first time they
started and two since twenty fourteen. Okay, that's the last
time the Chiefs missed the playoffs. Here's another one. Andy
Reid does not start the season ohen three since his
first year with the Eagles as head coach in nineteen
ninety nine, and no team has made the playoffs they
after starting oh to three since the NFL spanned the
(02:28):
playoffs in twenty twenty, and only six teams have made
the playoffs after starting oh to three in the Super
Bowl era. So it's it's very hard.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
With that said, and this is just this is a
ridiculous conversation, but I feel like the Chiefs don't think
so at all. I feel like the Chiefs could afford
to be owen three because the Chiefs could roll off
eighth straight where I don't think the Giants can dig
themselves out of an eight three three hole.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Such a hater, Han John, No, I know, yeah he is,
But yeah, I think he's also correct. Where if you
have Patrick Mahomes, that that that that you can correct,
you know, you get racy rights back and and you're rolling.
You can roll off eight nine straight wins they did
the last year. Uh, but you know what doesn't want
the Chiefs even when they're fifteen to two record last year? Guys,
(03:12):
you take a look it's almost all one score games
like they've played are nothing but really tight, close games
and relatively most scoring games last year. So I expect
the Giants to be very much in this football game,
and I very much expect them to have every opportunity
to win. They're just gonna have to make those you know,
two or three plays over the top.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
The offense looks great, that the pass rush looks good.
I mean, I'm feeling it, man, I'm feeling this for
the Giants.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, the pass rucks have to be a little bit
better than it was last week. But look, no, no,
look till you're right and no, but no, no, you're
right because they have flashed and you've seen that it's there.
They just haven't turned on the dominate switch yet, and
I think this is the week you need to do that.
Patrick Mahons, by the way, and Russell Wilson, they are
the only two quarterbacks in the league that lead their
(03:59):
teams rushing and then have more running more rushing yards
than any running backs on their roster. So I think
that's an interesting stat. So I think, you know, Mahomes
has taking a lot of this on his shoulders because
he doesn't have a lot of wide receivers around him.
His running game has not been very good. Travis Kelsey's
getting older, He's run the ball out. He has one
hundred and twenty rushing yards for two weeks. So that's
something that Giants can have to keep an eye onto.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
This week, it's Giants Chief Sunday Night here and picks
one of six. We're talking to John Schmelke's does the
post game show with our friend Tiki. Yeah, did Maleak
Neighbors step up and take blame for one of Russ's interceptions?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, Russ's only interception. It was an overtime where I
kind of screw it up and yeah, I mean, yeah,
I mean it wasn't a very good throw and I
want to tip my cap. I think the league Neighbors
is really maturing and figuring this out. So they ask him,
you know, was that interception on you? And you could
tell that they would try to get him to throw
the quarterback under the bus on the interception, and he
(04:57):
kind of starts the answer, you know, I'm not sure,
and then he like you could see him almost out
like the like the revelation in the middle of his answer,
like no, wait a second, I do know what, I'm
supposed to stay here, and he's like, no, you know what,
I didn't communicate well enough. That interception completely on me.
It's my fall. I got to do a better job.
And I'm like, wow, his second year, he's figuring out
this media thing, which I was. You know, I was
actually pretty impressed by the kid, to be honest with.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You that that is a good sign. That is a
good sign. Real quickly here Dolphins are oh in three?
Does McDaniel last the season?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now? You know what, Dolphins played hard from last night.
I thought they played well. I thought they played good football.
So the season is a long time. You know, there's
fourteen more games, but I think he definitely got himself.
Are pre last night?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
All right? Cool? Give us the give us the Gataboo's game,
you guys, this is Scataboo's game. Game. Hey, give us
give us the time. What times the pregame show here
on picks.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Uh pregame with you guys is at seven twenty And
I think the whole key of the game, guys, de
Spagnolo blitzes, he pressures. Russell Wilson struggles when pressured. Can
the Giants protect against those blitzes? And can Russell Wilson
survive those pressures. That's the whole key of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
John Smelt, the Giants broadcasting. We always appreciate. Good luck Sunday.
Speaker 2 (06:07):

Speaker 3 (06:08):

I can talk Monday morning.
