ALL-22 Offense: Jones better on tape, Thomas wo...
Dan and Nick dive deep into the All-22 film of a Giants game against the Rams where they sustained more offensive drives, outgained the Rams on offense and won of the time of possessions. So why did they lose? The All-22 shows the missed opportunities that played a key role in deciding the game. They break down the good and bad from Daniel Jones, but ultimately why the All-22 tells a better story than the broadcast did. They highlight a surprisingly strong performance (for the most part) from Nick Gates and a performance that was -- quite frankly -- even worse on tape from Andrew Thomas. That and more on the All-22 breakdown of the offense.

Is it time to ask the Daniel Jones question?
Dan and Nick dive into the Giants' 17-9 loss in Week 4 to the Rams with quick takeaways and reaction on Daniel Jones, the offensive line, Joe Judge's coaching decisions, and a really impressive performance by the defense that should not be simply swept under the rug.

ALL-22: Jones much better on tape, Andrew Thoma...
Dan and Nick dive into the All-22 game film and come away a lot more optimistic about the offense than expected. Remember, it started with a very low bar, but Daniel Jones' game tape tells a much different story than the box score. They're close, but there are little mistakes that need to be cleaned up -- a growing concern with the left side of the offensive line -- and they dive deep into all of it before turning over to what the film said about the defensive side of the ball.

3x All Pro and Super Bowl Champion defensive back Eric Davis breaks down the Xs and Os of this Giants-49ers matchup in Week 3. Davis talks about what he has seen from Daniel Jones so far, why Garrett’s game plan to feature the quick passing game is actually a good thing against this 49ers scheme, why the Giants simply can’t expect to win if they use light fronts against the 49ers rushing attack, and a lot more.

Quick reactions/takeaways from Giants-Bears

There are more positive takeaways from this than it looks on paper, but it takes a while to get there -- so stick with us through the end for a pleasant surprise. No matter what, you’ll be happier after hearing this than Allen Robinson was today when stuck on James Bradberry island.

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
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.

Dan and Nick dive into the heated Wednesday practice that almost led to Evan Engram throwing bows (instead just chucking his helmet 20 yards down the field), how the Giants will look to replace Xavier McKinney, Joe Judge’s hard-ass training camp, and then dive deep into Nick’s extensive film analysis of Cam Fleming -- Spoiler: The BBB crew is convinced the Giants found an upside gamble to upgrade the right tackle position.

Join us to find out why Daniel is higher on Daniel Jones than consensus, feels Will Hernandez is a blue chip prospect, has confidence about the Giants offense overall. Then, Daniel breaks down why Blake Martinez could be the key defensive addition this offseason -- and someone he personally suggested to Bruce Allen that he should pursue in free agency -- in addition to all of the other key free agent acquisitions and more.

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.

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.
