105.3 Interview with Brad Sham:
Broaddus: What happened, Brad
Brad Sham: Giants played better in every facet. They pushed the Cowboys around. We'll be surprised if that happens again, though. Cowboys made uncharacteristic penalties, like Javonte Williams one.
The defensive mistakes strike me as miscommunication. Four straight left flat passes to Singletary, for instance. That will not be a thing going forward. It's not the players. The players are better than last year, but they need to communicate better. Wasn't a single facet Cowboys were better. Got slapped in the face. We'll see what happens next week.
Broaddus: Why did Cowboys defense have miscommunication
Brad Sham: C'mon, Broaddus
Broaddus: I'm just asking the question.
Brad Sham: C'mon, Broaddus
Broaddus: I'm conducting an interview. Can you just answer the question?
Brad Sham: Answer is simple. They've never played a game together. You can work on things in practice until they're blue in the face
Broaddus: And the Giants have?
Brad Sham: Giants were better. But Cowboys looked like they've never played together. Overshown was overrunning plays. I didn't think it'd be that bad, but I'd be shocked if they didn't have lots of mistakes, lots of uncertainty. When we you don't play together at all, 8 of the 12 players (Caleb played 90%), they've never played together. If they play like that again, then it's a coaching problem. Tonight was worse than I expected, though.
Sham: There was one series with Singletary getting four plays in a row in the flat -- that's a mental thing, not physical. How many times did Jaxson Dart get out scrambling -- also a miscommunication problem. Coaches must've considered that.
Broaddus: When you look at the tape tomorrow, you're going to see a physical problem. Getting off blocks, filling holes and none of that happened.
Sham: No doubt, that was the first half. Cowboys got bullied. I think Cowboys didn't think they could get bullied. I'll be shocked if we see that happen again.
