All-22 DEF Film Review: Leonard Williams responds, is McKinney’s usage maximizing his skill set? Sep 26, 2023

Dan and Nick are sadly, unfortunately, once again forced to turn to the “dark side” of breaking down ugly All-22 on defense.

They dive into those players including Bobby Okereke, A’Shawn Robinson and more before turning the discussion to Xavier McKinney and whether or not this current scheme – and his uage within it – is hiding some of what he does best.

Giants OL tipping plays). They kick things off with a 30,000-foot view discussion about the state of the Giants offense, how teams are doing similar things schematically to limit them, the aggressive nature of San Fran’s game plan and they’re honest to the point of recklessness about what is going wrong with the offense and some factors that could lead to them turning it around.

Dan and Nick break down the Giants' TNF road football game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Dan Schneier and Nick Falato dive into arguably the sloppiest football game the Giants have played this season -- and that's saying a lot.
