Looks like a dancing bear compared to Neal and Ezeudu, Giants need athletes on the o-line with an edge to their game.

He gave up 5 sacks. Do you know if they were early on in the season like Eluemenor?

That Cowboys story is priceless.

Especially like the way he works with Eleumenor and his ability to take on multiple rushers telling me he has good vision...just wonder why he was with so many teams in his career

Should have kept Feliciano.

Suggestion: bring Nic on here with Ed and Tony, would be an interesting and entertaining show. “A Guest appearance “ ….

Does anybody believe Bill Belichick or Bill Parcels had their feet up on the table in front of team ownership after really having no credibility in being a winning head coach?

Pro Bowl is a fan popularity contest...All Pro's are selected by your peers...means waaaaay more to most players.

That need and best player available process is why I was so disappointed in the Giants for not taking QB Milton in the 6th. Big, strong, and athletic was there and the Pats after using their 3rd pick on a QB didn’t pass on him.

Nice day in NY

Right on Ed!

Hey Ed! Really enjoy your work and colleague Patty Trana’s. A welcome dose of thoughtful analysis (versus too many others with forced invective and “personality”). Curious, what are we seeing out of Drew Loch? Not as competition for Jones but as a backup who’s making the throws and plays? Thanks and stay out of “harms’ way”! Best to you!

Question: a player who seems to be forgotten is Beavers. As I recall, he was taken in the 5th round and was a rookie when McFadden was a rookie, who was taken in the 3rd round. Beavers was playing so well during training camp he was projected to start alongside Blake Martinez, ahead of McFadden. Unfortunately, he had an injury, an ACL tear, and his rookie year was lost. Last season he didn't seem to be the same player and McFadden ended up starting alongside Okereke, while Beavers ended up on special teams. How is he playing this training camp? Does he have a chance of making the team? Is there any chance he will make the 53 man roster and be depth as an inside linebacker? Thanks.

I dont know what Jones can be as he's had the worst O lines/WR's/TE's in the NFL over his 5 years. Its good to know there are clairvoyants out there. Next.

Watch out Ed! DJ is headhunting!

Bruised ribs are very painful, it prob hurts for him to sneeze. Not a quick heeling injury either so shows true toughness for sure.

Good show Ed. Thanks for being objective and explaining both sides of every situation where these guys are going against each other. Everybody else acts like it’s doom and gloom if somebody gets beat for a pass or Burns gets the best of Thomas or Banks gets beat by Nabors or Daniel isn’t right on the money. We do expect them to get better, but it is only the second week, and I’m sure timing plays a big part of all that 😎

Awesome show!! Thank you

Would love to get some fresh info on Isaiah Simmons! He is a high ceiling player that I hope gets unlocked!

DJ looked really good today….. hope it continues and he gets more continuity with the WRs

Ed he's a rookie it happens as far as Neal goes I really pray he at least gets healthy enough the lost time is not good he was basically a can't miss prospect we can ill afford a bust top ten pick hopefully he can at least play guard at worst it took awhile before Eric Flowers turned it around lets hope the same for Eric . This is the best group of talent at WR in a long time lots of speed hopefully Jones has his best season can't help but to root for him !

Question: is the type of ankle break Evan has something that other lineman have had? If so, did they come back completely healthy or were they compromised thereafter? Also, Evan has been reported to weigh 350 lbs. When knocking heads with a defensive lineman who weighs over 300 lbs., the stress his ankle is under may approach 1,000 lbs., so I cannot help but wonder if he will continue to be affected by his ankle. Something else, does he really need to weigh so much? It seems to me he can be just as effective, maybe more so, if he weighs 315 lbs. He's top heavy anyway, so maybe he'll have better balance and quicker feet. Lastly, when he does comeback, RT should not be handed to him. He needs to earn the starting position. My gut tells me he's a bust but let's hope for a full recovery. Thanks.

What did the draft pick in to Phillips look like at cornerback corner

I don’t really get what would have changed from what Schoen said with Neal getting a chance at RT whenever he’s ready. It’s not like he wasn’t expected to be a little bit behind. So now a few days into training camp your prediction is the experiment is over already? Unless it’s a huge setback I doubt they’d do a 180 after a few missed shell practices

At this point - the Giants need to (must) sign Roten. When Neal is finally ready, he needs to be a backup this season and earn his way onto the playing field.

This was an unpadded practice. My question is why did Dexter hit him in the ribs? What a dumpster fire! There is so much wrong with this team. 2 top 10 lineman chosen (Flowers & Neal) and 2 BUSTS! Need to replace our scouting staff and decision makers for the offensive line. We have successfully drafted and developed defensive tackles but failed on the offensive line. Hire pro personnel from Kansas City, Philadelphia and Dallas that have successful O-line programs. Something is very wrong here. There is no plan in place to choose and develop O-line players. 10+ years and counting…..

Thank you Ed for once again proving that no one can have more awkward small talk than you.

Could the noise in your office be any louder? For the love of god it sounds like a boeing wind tunnel.

Or Beck

IN THE 2025 NFL DRAFT, THE NYG WILL DRAFT A QB, BOOK IT! (HOPEFULLY, SHEDUER SANDERS 🤞).

As far as Hard Knocks, the potential for disaster is just as like as success. I agree with Patty on how we all have to wait and see on this team. This year has to be the first time I have completely ignored the hype surrounding this team because I've just been burned too many times. I disagree with Patty's statement about Saquon's legacy being linked with this team. His staying with the Giants would have assured that he would have NO legacy, since it was obvious that Shoen didn't really want him. I find it funny how Mara is characterized as the doddering old man with antiquated ideas of team building and marketing fears and Shoen is characterized as the sage who must put up with and conquer the old man. Hilarious. The supposedly "successful" Buffalo team he was a part of, pushed all its chips in the middle of the table last year and got bupkis and just had to have a fire sale.

Aaron Schatz is a great guest- way to go Ed

This dude Schatz is awful at really understsnding football. His work is sole stats based. he doesnt actually watch games.

COULD? THE GIANTS WILL BE BAD. 2025 DRAFT FOR THE NYG IS QB SHEDUER SANDERS. IM THE SAME GUY WHO SAID THE NYG SHOULD & WILL DRAFT MALIK NABORS & I'M THE SAME GUY THAT SAID JJ MCCARTHY IS TRASH OR AT BEST, A BACKUP QB. I ACTUALLY WATCH COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND STUDY FILM TOO. 🤨

Ed, I am a big fan of you and BBV - you always have a thoughtful, reasoned, and pertinent shows. This fella was a rare poor guest interview. He has generalized, sweeping statements and contradicts himself several times.

What a clown! He sounds arrogant, underprepared and has no real evidence to say they’ll be the worst team aside from thinking Wink Martindale is great and Daniel Jones sucks. Did he even bother to research the changes on the OL or defensive front?

Lol this guy is clueless 😂

Dude is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. 🤡🤡🤡

If they had tried to grab a quarterback in the 2022 draft, they would be repeating the same mistake they did in 2019 and would be in the same situation a year from now...

he said jones is a below avg qb… then said hes not terrible… huh???? i love when thry talk about the 22 season n which he passed for those yards yet dont talk about the lack of weapons he had. im sayin this and im not a big jones guy

Your guest says we should have drafted a qb in 2022 using the 5th or 7th pick. Who would he have picked...pickett,ridder,Willis? Lol, what is he talking about? The only qb that made it was Mr. Irrelevant, and nobody had him on their radar. This guy did zero research for that statement

Lesson in all this: New coach/GM combo of a losing team should always get a new QB!

Couple things here: Firstly, please never have this guy on again. Zero energy, monotone, boring and contradicts himself as he goes into "detail". Lastly I guess he has forgotten that it's not 1995 anymore and many us idiot fans watch games multiple times and have access to the all 22 tape. So yeah I can do without this half dead boring smug ###k in the future.

Good content Ed

THE FOOTBALL gODS DOESN'T TAKE KINDLY TO TEAMS THAT DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN (SB). I TOLD YA JJ MCCARTHY IS NO BUENO AND JAYDEN & CALEB WERE THE ONLY 2 QBS IN THE DRAFT WORTH MOVING UP FOR. IF DJ DOESN'T TURN INTO THE 2ND COMING OF DAN MARINO AND BURNS DOESN'T PLAY LIKE OSI OR STRAYHAN AND THAT OLINE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE "PAPER" IT'S PRINTED ON THEN IT'S TIME TO GET A NEW GM BECAUSE ALL THE EXCUSES DOESNT COVER FOR REALITY, LIPSTICK ON A PIG IS STILL A PIG! SAQUON SHOULD OF BEEN SIGNED YRS AGO BUT INSTEAD THEY D*CKED HIM AROUND AND THE MEDIA AND SOME SCHOEN GROUPIES WANNA PRETEND AS IF THE LAST 2 YEARS DIDN'T HAPPEN, WELL IT F'N DID! JOE SCHOEN MORTGAGED THE NYG FUTURE ON DANIEL JONES OVER SAQUON. 🧐

Why do we care at this point how close they came to getting a qb? It's history. It didn't happen. Can't we just concentrate on the upcoming season?

Tony should have his own podcast. He provides very good analysis and perspective.

Don't have to be great, just be average or slightly below average and it would be a huge improvement from last year. I think projecting OL 18 to 27 is a very fair assessment. Having a couple of tight ends who can actually block like Manhertz should help as well.

Ed, if Evan Neal dropped weight to about 315 lbs., do you think this m ight help him play RT? Less body weight can only alleviate the stress his legs are under, and he'll probably be a little more mobile. Also, it's been said he's top heavy, so dropping some weight might help create better balance top to bottom. Most importantly, maybe his legs will be healthier, which can only help his play. Bottom line, despite being 6'7" tall, 350 lbs is a lot of weight to carry and, with the injuries he's been dealing with, it may be too much weight. Thanks.

Giants would be Foolish to let Dabol go. Best Coach we have gad since Coughlin. I said it months ago. Devito amd Tyrod Taylor didn't win those games. Dabol did😊
