If Ryan's wrong, he should have to write an entire article about how talking giants is the best media platform covering the Giants

I've shaved off at least 35 beards and "My face needs to tan evenly" has never been a reason for doing it.

Justin needs to keep the beard

I think I’m starting to hate the word “versatility” in regard to football players. Like it’s an excuse to suck at multiple positions.

With Waller retiring Bellinger, Theo, and Nabers should replace the reception yds. But who will replace Wallers 1 TD?

Might mess around and comment first. Might mess around and be glad I did.

am i crazy for being excited about the rb room

Big on the “bring back the hate” debate. How tf do you think we won two super bowls with a total of what 3 or 4 pro bowlers. That coughlin era bred haters and I loved it.

36:35 legit one of the funniest moments in the shows history

"Some people in the building" lol 😆🧢🧢🧢

Andrew Thomas should be the oline coach

I dig the beard Justin

Question regarding Brett Kollman’s breakdown. He mentioned that Bowen likes to run nickel 3-3-5 (3 interior d linemen plus Burns on the edge). This would mean Kayvon would only get on the nickel packages in obvious passing downs. Are we really gonna see Jordan Phillips and Boogie play more this year than Kayvon?

Hi

You guys gotta ask Jordan about how he feels coming in 2nd place every time 😂😂.

Am I the only one who is dying to see their group chat?

Justin, get a bottle of Mamajuana in DR, it's a half or a gallon bottle of roots to store liquor of your choice

💙

Daniel Bellinger seems like good player to me. We actually hit on a mid round pick, don't eff it up !

commit to it justin

Keep the beard bro

Justin keep the damn beard dude

I'm guessing the add of Saylors is for competition..but for who?

Once a QB starts to see ghosts its

Why he worried bout rb room when it won't be focus point FINALLY. Dave calling plays to air it out and the rbs I believe will surprise ppl. This will be a tandem instead on just feeding Barkley.

Bad advice the beard plays. More beard!!!

Commit to the beard Justin!

Sounds to me like Dunleavy has been hanging out with Pat Leonard, both of whom are good guys and capable journalists, but I question their football acumen. I like Pat but we have divergent views about the Giants win-loss prospects for the upcoming season. Pat's from the Philly area, so he can't help it. It's hard to listen to guys who have limited or no experience playing football prognosticate about the sport. In jest, if you want to goose Pat Leonard, tell him you're a lot more concerned about the Eagles, whom the Giants decimated to close out the season. After he squawks, remind him that the score was 21-0 when the Eagles pulled their starters. I give Daboll a lot of credit. After a horrendous start to the season, the G-Men finished strong and were 3 very doable plays from being 9-8. I'd be shocked if the Giants win fewer than 10 games this season. Ryan made some good points about the secondary bearing the brunt of Bowens system. At least some of the secondary's success will be contingent upon a strong pass rush. For that reason, I really wish we still had Leonard Williams. As for the O-Line, let's assume the coaches know more about the players than we do. I'm trusting that they won't contort the line to accommodate Evan Neal, i.e. placing Runyan at RG has a larger purpose than to compensate for Neal's shortcomings. If that's the case, then please trade Neal + draft picks for a top tier tackle, if possible. I disagree vehemently with Ryan's assessment of the RB & TE rooms. We have a boatload of talent in each sector, and we're no longer held hostage to the "if and when" Saquon twists his ankle or Waller pops his hammy. We'll be better than fine - strength through depth and diversity of skills at both positions. Ryan is correct that DJ should just go out and do what he does best, come hell what may. I give him 3, maybe 4 games before Lock is taking snaps behind center. As a former QB, I've dealt with knee and cervical issues. It takes 2 years to normalize after an ACL. Subluxated discs in the neck compress on the nerve root. It's no joke. As I'm not aware of any opponent going light on DJ, his departure is not a matter of if, but when. At this point in his career, Lock may be better suited to this offense. Lots of weapons. He has a better pocket presence than DJ in part because he's not looking to bust out of the pocket when the heat's on. He's busy reading the field. He's not afraid to pull the trigger and has exercised better judgement under Pete Carroll's tutelage and working alongside Geno Smith. Here's how the experience unfolds... When you're sitting in the pocket and reading the field, you're so focused that you don't even notice the shit that's swirling around you. Some of my best throws were made with monsters bearing down on me. I'd figure out what happened by listening to crowd reaction, literally. Lock has that ability. He's cool under pressure. By contrast, DJ gets rattled when he feels the heat, which is why he usually just cuts and runs or throws an interception. He doesn't hang in there and read the field. He definitely loses his focus. That's a primary reason why he's not good at it. At his core, DJ is not cool under pocket pressure. It's written all over his face and it's not a good look for the other guys in the huddle. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Tell you guys this much, I cut loose from the pocket more often because guys weren't open. In that instance, instinctively I'd know to get out while I still could & see if I could shake things loose in the secondary. If coverage held up, then I'd get on my horse and do my best to make the D regret it. And though I was blessed with speed, running was almost always my 3rd option. It's not as much of a thought process as it is being hyper-focused in the present moment. That's when the game slows down and you can move quicker than the other guys because you're two or three steps ahead mentally. That's how a QB functions effectively when the heat's on. BTW, if the pocket collapsed without exit, without grounding, I'd throw the ball away, if possible, or step up and take the sack to mitigate the loss of yards. Only on a couple of occasions did I get sandwiched. It really sucks pulling sods of grass from your face mask & all, but it comes with the territory and if you don't like it, then don't play QB. DJ will succeed if he let's the RBs, WRs & TEs do the work. He has an excellent mid-range passing game. Hopefully, Nabers & Co will help him learn to trust his long game. But if he plays like he normally does, I give him 3-4 weeks before he's benched or, God forbid, carted off. What I love about your podcast is that you guys know football from experience, so hopefully some of what I've written makes sense. Keep up the good work and, as always, let's go Big Blue.

Justin is a passport boy “ Dominican Republic “

had they known 100% sure Waller was going to retire, maybe they could've kept Saquon by giving him some of Waller's $?

who’s that guy with the manly beard? 🧔‍♂️

The ceiling for Ezudu is now "better at swing OT than Matt Peart "??? FFS.

I’m calling the vice squad when you start the “van” episodes - what the fuck are you guys doing in there????

keep the beard....you will be glad you did ....bobby just anti facial hair .... beards are a big man's best friend

Why is the O line still a disaster? Do the Giants have any competent scouts? I have never seen a team so flustered on fixing the O line. Nothing else will work in the offense if they don't fix the O line for good and have the same players work together as a unit. It's astounding to me that there is so much confusion. I have no confidence they will fix it in time for the season. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Is waller smart, tough and dependable? I say no.

Lots of negativity...could be justified, might not be correct, however. The defense should be good - IF, IF, IF the O-line is at least serviceable, there are enough weapons with YAC capability that Jones will find targets. I respect Ryan's take; however, I place more value on the addition of Nabers than the loss of Barkley.

Shave the beard Don't leave the resort in the DR. Make dinner reservations a week before you go

Hopefully Justin comes back from the DR.

Keep the facial hair….youll tan just fine. 😂 you don’t look 15 anymore hahahaha

He is clearly a jones guy why interview him

If Ryan is wrong, he has to unblock everyone he has blocked on Twitter…

Ryan blocked me on X soft

I didn't want Saquon Barkley back. I didn't see him as a team player. He was more lip service to the concept of 'Team'. I think I'm the only person and I have my reasons.

Well that was a really negative interview. Question. with all the stuff that went on in 2023, if Gano was healthy and had his typical year I think the Giants would have went 8-9 last year. There were at least 2 more games they would have won.

Justin definitely has commitment issues lol go to a barber 💈 and shape it up and grow it out… commit

JMS was a man alone last season AND he's a rookie. We failed him not the other way around.

JP lot of complaining

why does Dunleavy look like rainman when he talks...

So Joe is 0 for 5 on drafting and acquiring olineman? Massive busts in the draft across the board. Time to bring in some Dallas scouts or hire one of their dudes for GM and give a chance for Jones to cook in the remaining years of his contract. Remember, Andrew Thomas was a Jason Garrett pick and Jason came from the consistent winner that knows how to draft and develop offensive lineman down in Dallas. If Daboll and Joe crash and burn this year we can bring back Garrett and maybe even reunite him with Dak next year. Would love to see an ex-NFL Coach of the Year and Giants QB, Jason Garrett lead the Giants.

Another negative reporter. Maybe this guy should be the general manager. Tired of these guys. He is a downer
