Dan and Nick dive into the All-22 coaches film to break down the Giants' Week 5 loss to the Dolphins and come away surprisingly less devastated than they expected they would be after watching the broadcast angle. They break down what the Giants tried to do schematically, a great route by Darius Slayton, well designed plays by the coaching staff that stood out, missed opportunities and the "sack heard around Giants Twitter" while also showing some cut ups (and breakdowns) of Evan Neal who surprisingly had one of his better games in a long time in pass protection. All that and more on the offensive film review.

Dan and Nick are sadly, unfortunately, once again forced to turn to the “dark side” of breaking down ugly All-22 on defense. There were some bright spots of course – Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrece, DJ Davidson and Micah McFadden to be exact. But there are a lot of other players on the defense that have film that is growing – let’s just say – concerning. 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.

Dan and Nick are forced to turn over to what some fans would consider “the dark side” breaking down some ugly All-22 on offense. They break down the positives to take away – some savvy second-half adjustments – but also the overwhelming mental errors and at times preparedness efforts (10 men on the field? 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. They break down plays, touch on comments made about Daniel Jones from 49ers players and more.

Dan and Nick break down the Giants' TNF road football game against the San Francisco 49ers. The duo discuss the formidable - quick - defensive front and how the Giants will attempt to muster offense through Daniel Jones sans Saquon Barkley. The Giants' defensive issues must be squared away, lest Christian McCaffrey will run a marathon over a Wink Martindale defense that has significantly struggled to fit the run. New York is beat up, on the road, and against one of the best teams in the NFL; they'll need their A-Game, plus some, if they're going to defeat the 49ers.

They start with an overview of what happened on film and why the defense struggled so much by taking a deeper dive into all of the miscommunications (and the reasons for it), the hesitant play from the second-level LBs and the lack of wins up front from a Giants defensive front that should've dominated the trenches in this matchup. They discuss different coverages the Giants used, personnel packages and more before diving into film breakdowns of several key plays that determined the game.
