Because I don't think last night was about Bo Nix, and I don't even think really it was about Sam Darnold.
Sean Payton is not, like, a wunderkind head coach, right? Even on offense, where he's known for, you know, for being deceptive and all...
Be extremely prepared, pay attention to your personnel, use them appropriately, call as many run plays as passing plays, train your quarterback not to turn the ball over, right? Rely on your defense when you need to.
What was the real difference in the game last night? The real difference was that one team's offensive coordinator, really, now the play caller, called run plays and pass plays straight down the middle.
If you listen-- I, I've quoted Keyshawn, like, in whoever you work with, if you're, if you're listening at all, right? If you work with a lot of NFL players, NBA players, you learn a lot from them, right? I learned from Keyshawn Johnson stuff that kind of reaffirmed what I always thought about Bill Parcells, who I grew up as the coach of the Giants, right? And Payton's off that tree.
And Keyshawn used to say one of Bill Parcells' rules for quarterbacks was throwing the ball away is a good play.
So what did a Sean Payton team do last night? They ran the ball as much as they passed the ball.
He catered these little three-yard passes to the quarterback he had, right? It's what the Giants will do with McCarthy eventually when, you know, if and when he starts.
