All right, 888-808-119, Carton Show with Big Mac.
Mourning the Giants to Baku last night, having a chance to basically put a vice grip on the NFC Leafs. And now, while still their division to lose, you got Jacksonville here next weekend, and you're a touchdown under Dogger Ready. That spread's gonna go up, not down. You'll probably lose that game, right? So all of a sudden, what was a 5-2-1 start, then it becomes 5-4-1, and then you're looking at the Indianapolis Colts with Jonathan Taylor and with Danny Jones. And while that's a lousy team, that then becomes the next in a lineage of must-win games for the New York Giants.
Craig Carton (0:42)
Yeah, and that will be one we'll all be pulling for. That'll be Jets fans for Giants.
Pete (0:46)
That's correct.
Craig Carton (0:47)
As strong as ever.
Chris McMonigle (0:48)
That's right.
Craig Carton (0:48)
Be looking to help the...
Chris McMonigle (0:49)
Die Hard Giants fan that week.
Pete (0:51)
Everyone's a Die Hard Giants fan that week.
Chris McMonigle (0:52)
Because there's a chance I might have, well, second pick, third pick, 10th pick.
Craig Carton (0:59)
Second, third pick, 10th pick.
Chris McMonigle (1:00)
That's on the table for the Jets right now. 2-3-10.
Craig Carton (1:03)
2-3-10.
Chris McMonigle (1:04)
2-3-10 is a possibility. Right? The Chargers right now are winless. So they've got the inside track to getting the first overall pick. And you know they're not taking a quarterback, right? Because they wouldn't even discuss getting rid of Justin Herbert this year. I know not a lot of teams called, but he was a non-starter.
Craig Carton (1:20)
You're right. That's a good trend for the Jets. To get someone in there who won't take a quarterback.
Chris McMonigle (1:26)
Would they trade that pick to whoever's four or five? Who might need a quarterback?
Craig Carton (1:30)
Yes. Of course, yeah.
Chris McMonigle (1:31)
You might have to trade with them. The Dolphins at one win. That one's against the Jets. So if we do our job and lose to the Dolphins later on, ain't got to worry about them.
And the Titans.
Craig Carton (1:42)
And would they be drafting a quarterback? They kept their claiming. They kept their running back. Tony Pollard didn't trade them because they're trying to find out about Cam Ward.
Chris McMonigle (1:52)
I think that if the Titans are picking 2nd or 3rd, and I can't imagine picking worse than 3rd, they're taking a quarterback. They're taking a quarterback.
Craig Carton (2:01)
I would think so.
Chris McMonigle (2:01)
Right?
Craig Carton (2:02)
Yeah.
Chris McMonigle (2:02)
But then again, Robert Sala was the guy with Joe, with what's his name? Joe Douglas, who told me to my face, Zach Wilson is the best quarterback we've ever seen in a combine.
Craig Carton (2:16)
Wow. The best ever?
Chris McMonigle (2:19)
Uh-huh.
Craig Carton (2:19)
He did have a good combine the throw day.
Chris McMonigle (2:21)
He had that one pass.
Craig Carton (2:22)
Well, he had that.
Chris McMonigle (2:22)
Yeah. Rowing to his left, throwing across his body, 65 yards on a line, in rhythm, bang. That's our guy.
Craig Carton (2:32)
Now, he can't play for the Dolphins, can't play for the Saints. Is he in the league anymore? Yeah, I think he's with the Saints, isn't he?
Pete (2:37)
Is he with the Saints?
Craig Carton (2:38)
Is he with the Broncos?
Pete (2:39)
No, no. He's not with them anymore. I think he's Sean Payton.
Chris McMonigle (2:41)
Sean Payton cut his ass. He might be in New Orleans. I think he may.
Certainly possible.
Craig Carton (2:48)
Zach Wilson.
Chris McMonigle (2:49)
I don't know why you even have a laptop here. So weird to me. Because you asked for it.
Blake (2:54)
I know, I know.
Craig Carton (2:55)
So I do it.
Chris McMonigle (2:56)
There is a computer in the little window there. You can't use that there, right? I don't need to use it.
Craig Carton (3:00)
There's nowhere to put the keyboard.
Chris McMonigle (3:02)
Yeah, well, maybe you can put where your laptop is bigger than the keyboard, man.
Craig Carton (3:10)
Where is Zach Wilson right now? Are we saying New Orleans?
He is currently with the Saints, yes.
Chris McMonigle (3:15)
Saints, all right.
Craig Carton (3:16)
He went to the Broncos, Miami and now the Saints.
Chris McMonigle (3:18)
Got it. All right. Blake is in Frisco. I'm the fan. Blake, good afternoon, sir. How are you?
Blake (3:23)
I'm good. What's up, fellas? Doing good, kid.
Very embarrassing loss yesterday. I called a couple of weeks ago after we beat Houston. Completely embarrassing loss.
