Giants Positional Breakdown Series: QB guru Mark Schofield breaks down Daniel Jones Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick drop a show they've been waiting all season long to roll out -- an exclusive interview with quarterback guru Mark Schofield -- a man who watched more All-22 on the quarterback position than Nick and Dan have seen of the Giants combined (and that's a whole lot of game tape)! Schofield dives into why Jones was so much better against man than zone coverage, the fumbling issue, Jones' post-snap mental processing, how he will fit what Jason Garrett wants to do on offense, a breakout wide receiver who best fits Jones' skill set and a lot more. This is a jam-packed episode.

Positional Breakdown Series: Giants Offensive Line Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive into the deep depths of the revamped Giants offensive line. Is this FINALLY the year? We've been sold a bag of goods about the Giants' offensive line rebuild for years now -- a line that hasn't really built back up since it's 2011 collapse -- but the boys in Blue (Banter) are here to tell you that good times are finally ahead. Whether that be right away, later in 2020, or ultimately in 2021 is still up for debate -- and that's exactly what Dan and Nick do. In addition to breaking down the offensive line as a whole, Dan and Nick dive into camp positional battles, individual breakdowns of each lineman, and a whole lot more on this jam-packed episode.

Positional Breakdown Series: Giants Tight Ends Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Dan and Nick dive into a tight end position that is guaranteed to be featured in Jason Garrett's offensive system. It's not only a position that will be featured more often in the passing game, but also in a very different way than we've seen from a Giants tight end since the 2013 season. They break down each tight end on the roster individually, why they're buying into the Evan Engram breakout one more time (and why you should be too), the sneaky upside Kaden Smith put on tape, how the offense might utilize Levine Toilolo and a lot more.
