Hour 3: Jameis Winston's 'Who Let The Dogs Out' Audible & Giants Reactions

Craig Carton (0:00)

Carton Show, Big Mac, four o'clock, Straight Up, High S and Y, great to have you here as always. Appreciate you guys, your family, us as you know.

They're four to six every afternoon on SNY, Home Up. The New York Mets, so before we get back to your calls, Big Mac brought something up, it's obviously the audible heard around the world last night, let me just do that first with you. Jameis Winston trying to get Washington to jump off sides. You get the hot one, hot two, and then you get a Bahamman song in an attempt to get them to jump off sides. Here's how it sounds the last night if you didn't get to hear it.

SPEAKER_2 (0:36)

Get ready, get set, hot one, hot two.

Craig Carton (0:41)

That's old school.

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

You're right, they're not going to do it.

SPEAKER_4 (0:46)

Who let the dogs out?

Craig Carton (0:48)

Who let the dogs out?

SPEAKER_2 (0:51)

What is he doing?

Craig Carton (0:53)

All right, so I will say this. Everybody knows by now.

Yes, give Jameis Winston the prize now. He's the most personal football player in the NFL.

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (1:02)

Great. Now, what else?

SPEAKER_3 (1:03)

Well, a couple of things. You were bothered by it?

Craig Carton (1:05)

I wasn't.

Chris McMonigle (1:06)

I'm not going to say bothered by it. Here's what I'll say. One, it bothers me today and I'm a little surprised that you haven't harped on it and had more fun with it. Not necessarily talked about it constantly, but we come out of this game, and part of it is the Giants are changing, the Giants are evolving. You opened the show, they're a relevant football team, and I still feel like a lot of the conversation, unfortunately, coming out of the game was pretzel-wrapped hot dogs and because he threw up. So we're talking about, did he eat before the game, and then Malik isn't showing up, and then it's who let the dogs out, and it's missed kicks, and it's just, it felt like it's more like to pile on an embarrassing loss that harkens back to when the Giants were lousy. Like, so a little bit of that. The other thing is, like...

Craig Carton (1:51)

I disagree with that.

Chris McMonigle (1:52)

Okay.

Craig Carton (1:52)

Yeah.

Chris McMonigle (1:52)

Why?

Craig Carton (1:53)

Like, I wasn't bothered by it at all.

Chris McMonigle (1:55)

I'm not bothered by it. I'm just saying, like, I don't want to be talking about these things.

I'm tired of, like, the who let the dogs out, he threw up, he didn't show up, missed the 33-yard kick. Like, it just, it felt like...

Craig Carton (2:08)

The missed kicks part of the game, gotta reference it, obviously.

Chris McMonigle (2:11)

Right.

Craig Carton (2:12)

Because they can't feel confident in the kicker, but, to be fair, we are two hours into the show now.

Chris McMonigle (2:17)

Yeah, we haven't brought it up.

Craig Carton (2:18)

You brought it up.

Chris McMonigle (2:19)

No, you're right.

Craig Carton (2:20)

I didn't bring it up.

Chris McMonigle (2:21)

I feel like a lot of people have. I've heard a lot of it this morning.

Craig Carton (2:23)

Yeah, and to me, it's lazy.

Chris McMonigle (2:25)

Okay.

SPEAKER_2 (2:25)

Hey, did you hear Jameis Winston?

Craig Carton (2:27)

I'm with you. Yeah, I heard it. Guess what impacted out of the game?

Chris McMonigle (2:30)

Zero. Zero. Well, other than, I think it's a lousy cadence if you're actually trying to get people to jump both sides.

Craig Carton (2:35)

At that point, Washington knew they couldn't actually snap the ball.

Chris McMonigle (2:37)

I understand that, but still, and again, in that moment, and I'll be honest with you, it fooled me more than it fooled Washington. I thought they were going to run the play.

Craig Carton (2:45)

Off of the Who Let The Dogs Out?

Chris McMonigle (2:46)

Correct. And I'll tell you why. He goes up there and he gives the initial cadence you heard, where it's Hut One, Ready, Set, Hut One, Hut Two.

Then, obviously you couldn't hear this, but if you watch the game, he step back, he audibles and there's a shift in the formation.

Craig Carton (3:06)

Right.

Chris McMonigle (3:06)

The tight end, the whoever was on the, it was either Ricard or the tight end, bounces out a little bit. It changes the, the, the most, it changes the formation, right? Sure. Off of that, the change in formation, you can see the defense spread out to cover him a little bit.

I honestly thought, because in my mind, who the hell would make a joke in this moment and sing a song, as crazy as Jameis is, and as much as he likes to have fun and be weird and be strange and be different. I never would have thought, I honestly thought it was like a spoken audible to let the team know we are now snapping. Game on. I thought they were going to do it. I was like, why else would he do it?
