Giants-Seahawks preview with The Ringer's Danny...
Dan and Nick are joined by The Ringer's Danny Kelly to break down the Giants' Week 8 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. They discuss Seattle's surprising start, how in the world Geno Smith is playing at this level, their ridiculously productive 2022 rookie class -- one that includes two starting offensive tackles (Charles Cross, Abe Lucas) a lockdown CB1 and their RB1. They get into more depth about Cross, a prospect the Giants considered in the 2022 Draft and on Walker -- a running back who has a chance to split this game wide open against a Giants defense that has allowed 5.7 YPC. Danny gives his prediction on the game and then Dan and Nick dive into their own analysis -- why this Seahawks run scheme might benefit what the Giants do well as a defense and more. Finally, Dan and Nick give their predictions.

🚨EMERGENCY🚨pod: Kadarius Toney traded
Dan and Nick react to the Giants' blockbuster trade sending 2021 first-round draft pick Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs for a compensatory 3rd-round draft pick and a 6th-round draft pick. They break down why it happened, if it's fair to grade the trade as a positive but at the same time admit it's not a good thing for the roster, they discuss how the Giants WR corps shakes out post-trade, why Joe Schoen may be unlikely to trade any of these newly acquired picks or his own previous ones for another team's WR or another position at the deadline and a lot more.

Film Review: Giants LB play becoming a major is...
Dan and Nick break down the All-22 coaches film of the Giants defense against the Jaguars in Week 7. As promised, they follow the film and refuse to sugarcoat it – point blank – the defense was uncharacteristically undisciplined and it lead to major breakdowns in run defense and in coverage. These breakdowns stemmed primarily from the second level play from the LBs. They go over struggles from Jaylon Smith and Tae Crowder, lapses in coverage, a total lack of pressure, Doug Pederson winning the chess match and several plays where the defense wasn’t aligned/ready just before the snap before breaking down some of the great reps from Adoree Jackson, Dexter Lawrence and others – and then finally handing out superlatives: best player, highest-effort player, unheralded player and grades for both the pass rush and run defense.
