00:00I had a lot of conversations yesterday with different coaches and two GMs, actually not
00:05in Philadelphia or New York, about the situation because everyone loves to gossip in this league
00:10and they love to pick.
00:11Oh, yeah.
00:12And, you know, it's funny, I've noticed there's a split in an opinion.
00:17There are some that are like, Joe messed up, he dropped the ball, they need Saquon, this
00:20offense does not go, he's their best weapon.
00:23He is a better investment than Daniel Jones at quarterback.
00:27And then you have others that are like, yeah, you can get it running back at a better price
00:32and they made the right move moving on.
00:35I think collectively, though, Saquon has just represented what a New York giant, what ownership
00:40really wants a giant to be, the way he carries himself, his leadership, his team mentality,
00:46his work ethic.
00:47Like, he checks every box, on top of the fact that he's been very vocal about wanting to
00:51be a New York giant forever, from the day he was drafted from Dave Gettleman to now,
00:57it was made very clear and around the league, it's been made very clear that Joe Shane does
01:00not value the running back position and that's not how he sees his offense and it's not how
01:04Brian Gable does.
