Previewing Giants-Steelers, Takeaways from the first unofficial depth chart Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive into the Steeler-Giants matchup where you might be surprised to find a small slive of hope (cough: the Steelers will be starting three new offensive linemen and without their five-time Pro Bowl guard). They also dive into the other side of the ball where Andrew Thomas could have a rude rookie awakening (but please -- please don’t give him the Ereck Flowers treatment on social media if he struggles against borderline DPOY TJ Watt). They also give their key takeaways on the Giants’ unofficial depth chart.

Key takeaways from Giants’ Blue-White scrimmage Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive into the “All-5 film” (you’ll get the joke when you listen to today’s show) of the Giants' blue-white scrimmage. Why it’s time to stop sleeping on a Lorenzo Carter year 3 breakout in a new role in Graham’s defensive system he supposedly loves. Why you shouldn’t panic because the defensive front was so far ahead of the offensive line. Why it’s not surprising to see Darius Slayton draw so much target love from Daniel Jones (but also why Jones ball placement needs to be sharper). The really good news on Ryan Connelly and a lot more in a jam packed show breaking down everything to know from the scrimmage.

Key takeaways from Giants’ 150-minute full scrimmage and more Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive deep into everything that developed during the Giants’ 150-minute full-padded scrimmage. From Daniel Jones’ up and down day but why the biggest takeaway from him was a positive one, to a bounce-back day from the defensive backs (highlighted by an incredibly athletic interception by -- you guessed it -- Darnay Holmes -- again), Julian Love making staking his claim with the first-team offense, continued signs of the Jones-Slayton and Jones-Smith (Kaden) rapport, Dexter Lawrence’s dominant scrimmage and everything else that stood out.

Dan and Nick recap the latest Giants transactions including the upgrade at kicker (welcome Graham Gano!), why Gettleman may have found a diamond in the rough in Daylon Mack, and what Deandre Baker's Sep. 15 arraignment date means for his 2020 season and beyond. Soon after, they dive deep into the first fully-padded practice (Aug. 17) including why they're back on the Corey Coleman bandwagon (let's be honest though -- Dan never got off of it), why the WRs are winning so often early in camp, and excitement surrounding Marc Colombo's coaching and the development of the young offensive linemen.
