00:00And as we learned yesterday morning, Joe, for the New York Giants on the bye during
00:08week 11 after an overtime loss in Munich to the Carolina Panthers the Sunday prior, a
00:15quarterback change that perhaps was anticipated, but maybe not the guy we expected to fill
00:22in for Daniel Jones from the horse's mouth yesterday, if you will.
00:27This is Brian Dayball quote.
00:29We are making a quarterback switch from Daniel Jones to Tommy DeVito after evaluating and
00:36watching a lot of tape.
00:38That's the reason we are going with Tommy drew lock will be the backup.
00:42This was a necessary move for us, and I'm looking forward to working with Tommy and
00:46he'll be ready to go against Tampa Bay and quote again, Joe.
00:51I don't think it's overly surprising.
00:53We have had this debate on the show in the previous few weeks.
00:56Would Daniel Jones take another snap for the G-Men?
00:59How much longer with the Giants invest in Danny dimes, knowing that his four year contract
01:04extension was front loaded in these first two years, basically the Giants could get
01:09out of it at the end of 2024.
01:12What I did not expect that if in when New York made the move, it would be Tommy DeVito
01:18and not the guy.
01:19They paid $5 million this off season in drew lock.
01:23Yeah.
01:25I mean, listen, it makes sense.
01:28We all knew it was coming, Ben, and it makes sense at this point because of the way the
01:33contract for Danny dimes is written.
01:36He's got a pretty airtight injury clause in that contract where if something were to happen
01:42to him, then it's going to cost the Giants a whole lot more money to keep him and they
01:47can't cut them like they can if they keep them off the field and they keep them healthy.
01:52So if he gets hurt, the Giants are screwed.
01:55If if you don't play him well, then you can just cut him, take the $22 million dead money
01:59next year and move on.
02:02So it makes sense from that standpoint.
02:04But man, if I'm DeVito, I mean, do you remember him taking the snaps in those games, Ben?
02:11And that offensive line, which was miserable, he was sacked all the time.
02:16It was a true disaster.
02:18It felt like it was like a total clown show.
02:21It feels like it's going to be a total clown show again, only this time with a little bit
02:26better defense for the Giants.
02:28They too, Ben, you mentioned it.
02:30You know, Jerry Jones, make your bed, sleep in it.
02:33Hey, Giants.
02:34Yeah.
02:35You made your bed.
02:36Now you got to sleep in it.
02:37Oh, and by the way, you still haven't drafted a quarterback since you drafted Danny dime
02:41six years ago.
