Giants captain and middle linebacker Bobby Okereke joins Episode 81 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer, to discuss the defense's recent dominance, Okereke's strong season, Wink Martindale's importance, @MVMISLEEP , the Pro Bowl voting disrespect to Dexter Lawrence and more. Okereke, who hasn't missed a single defensive snap all season, explains how he has prepared his body to play at such a consistently high level through a broken rib, broken left pinky and hip injury. He shares how critically important Martindale has been to Okereke's success and how "devastating" it would be if Martindale weren't here next year. And he gives unique insight into Micah McFadden's encouraging season, Tommy DeVito's third start, the addition of former Colts teammate Shaq Leonard to the Philadelphia Eagles, the upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers and more.
