00:00The game occurring right here in New Jersey, not too far from our studios, the Giants taking

00:08on the Tampa Bay Bucs.

00:10Giants catching six and a half at home, plus 225 on the money line with a total of 40 and

00:15a half.

00:16It's probably a game that not too many people are that fired up about, but there's been

00:19a lot of change, obviously, with the Giants.

00:21Daniel Jones being released coming off the bye week.

00:25It was really sort of a benching and then a release all at once, Donnie, over the course

00:30of a couple of days, and now they find themselves with Tommy DeVito on their center, not Drew

00:34Locke.

00:35I think some people were surprised by that, but I think the way the Giants would explain

00:39it is that he's been around for a while, he can run the offense better.

00:41Not a good look for Drew Locke, but can this look be good for the Giants with Tommy DeVito?

00:44Yeah, it's a terrible look for Drew Locke, and the organization's just a mistake from

00:48up and down here.

00:49But let's be honest with something.

00:50That look ahead line was three and a half in this game between the Buccaneers and the

00:52Giants.

00:53I think Joe Evans is coming back, but also Daniel Jones is not in.

00:56Well, quarterback's usually the biggest line mover out there.

00:59Are we sure, Joe?

01:00We're actually getting a downgrade at the quarterback position?

01:01I mean, I'm being honest here.

01:03It's not as if, you know, both of these guys are somewhat mobile.

01:06Both probably have similar arms at this point.

01:08Now, granted, Daniel Jones, a bigger quarterback, higher upgrade because he was drafted in the

01:11first round, but I don't look at this game like, man, like the Niners game, like, hey,

01:14that might be a quarterback downgrade from Brock Purdy.

01:16I don't see it this way.

01:17Well, DeVito has played well, especially last year, pulled out games for the Giants.

01:23He's a capable quarterback.

01:24He can avoid the rush.

01:25He can make plays with his legs, something that Daniel Jones forgot how to do in terms

01:30of running the football.

01:31Maybe he was injured.

01:32Maybe he just didn't want to sacrifice his body.

01:35But for whatever reason, he's not the same quarterback that he was even when they drafted

01:39him out of Duke.

01:40Right.

01:41So to Donny's point, you're going to get, you know, Tommy DeVito's best effort today.

01:44You're talking about a team that has lost five straight in the New York Giants.

01:47They're 0-5 at home.

01:49They don't have one win at home.

01:51You're similar to the Dallas Cowboys, getting abused in terms of your own building.

01:55What do you get today?

01:56The main concern I have in terms of back in Tampa Bay, Donny, with the 5-1-1 in Evans,

02:02is he completely healed, right?

02:04Is that quarterback-wide receiver relationship with Baker going to be on point in terms of

02:09a timing perspective?

02:10That was the one thing.

02:11I mean, Baker, you can guarantee 250 and at least two touchdowns per game because of his

02:16relationship with Godwin and Evans.

02:19Once they went down, yeah, Key Dotton stepped up, but it's those back-up wide receivers

02:23that we haven't seen.

02:24Sterling Shepard has been inconsistent.

02:26Trey Palmer hit or miss.

02:28So what are you going to get?

02:29Outside of the running backs, right, Bucky Irving and Rashad White, outside of Evans,

02:34they don't really have a downfield presence, and that is the concern.

02:37I would say that the total for me, 41-1-1, if we could get this maybe 40-1-1-1 or even

02:45high 30s in the first quarter, I would jump in there because I still think that if you're

02:50Brian D'Abel, you want to open it up to some capacity to put up points.

02:53Yeah, and I think you will be able to do that, Mike, because we're looking at a game where

02:57it's, OK, Meadowlands, late November, how bad are the conditions?

03:00Not bad today at all.

03:0150 degrees here.

03:02You're not worried about precipitation.

03:03You're not worried about too many wins here, and I also think 26th in the NFL on pro football

03:08focus defending the run is Tampa Bay.

03:10Tyrone Tracy's a really good young running back right now.

03:12Tommy DeVito does have some wheels.

03:14So I do think the football will be moved on both sides, and we always like to, Joe and

03:17I usually like to say this, Mike, what's the game plan for Brian D'Abel?

03:21Keep it close to the vest with Tommy DeVito and win 14-13?

03:23Like, no, you're trying to show out, see if this kid can play, and also show the ownership

03:27group like, yes, we made the right move, because what would happen if they move on from Daniel

03:30Jones and score three points today?

03:31Like, what are we actually doing down here, guys?
