2 Blue Dudes podcast

It's time to preview the upcoming 2024 New York Football Giants season! What do we think about the draft picks, and what impact will they have on the team this season? How improved is the offensive line this year? Does the defensive line have the potential to be special? Should we be concerned about the secondary (even with Adoree Jackson back)?

How much is Daniel Jones holding the team back from contenting? Dan breaks down the Giants run on Hard Knocks, before discussing his trips to training camp and the first preseason game. Eric and Dan share which players they are most excited to watch, as well as who might cause them concern this season. Finally, what would need to happen for Schoen and Daboll to be on the hot seat?

Oh, and we close things out with W-L predictions from Dan and Eric too.

Dan is joined by our Knicks insider Seth Abbott for a deep dive into the end of the Knicks season and a preview of the Knicks offseason. Did the injuries finally catch up to them? Were there any adjustments Thibs could have made against Indiana that might have helped?

Seth and Dan then preview the upcoming offseason, only to be still in the process of wrapping up the episode when the news of the Mikal Bridges trade dropped!! We break down our initial thoughts on the final piece of the Nova Four being reunited.

Thank you Leon Rose for the immaculate timing!

We're back with a special Knicks playoff and Giants draft preview special!

How far can the Knicks can go in the playoffs? Would not making the eastern conference finals be a disappointment? Does anyone still remember Julius Randle at this point? Let’s go Knicks!!

This Giants offseason, we say goodbye to Saquon and McKinney, and then discuss new additions to the team including the centerpiece of this offseason, Brian Burns. Have all of their signings been home runs? What are we looking forward to during next week's draft? Enjoy the draft and we’ll see you soon for a draft recap!!

Eric and Dan break down the Daboll/Wink conflict. Are we concerned with Daboll after the recent reports of his sideline demeanor? How do we think the Giants should approach the offseason in regards to free agency and the draft? Should they trade up with the Bears to draft a quarterback?

We are then joined by our Knicks insider (and Westchester Knicks diehard fan) Seth Abbott to break down the OG Anunoby trade and the impact it has had on the Knicks so far. How much does it move the needle? Do they still need to make a trade for an impact scorer? Can they contend with the team as presently constituted?

Enjoy the snow everyone in the East!

Illness can't stop us from chatting Knicks and Giants!

Seth steps up to the plate and fills us in on the ups and downs of the Knicks season so far. Do they have a chance to contend this year, or are they still a star player away?

For the G-Men, what do we make of DeVito Mania? Can he be an impactful starting quarterback in the league? Is Jones guaranteed the starting job when he gets back? Should Wink or Kafka be brought back next year?

We hope those who celebrate have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy (Blue) New Year to all!!

Eric and Dan return to break down the first 8 weeks of the season. We analyze all that has led to the 2-6 start - from the putrid offensive line play, injuries and ineffective play at quarterback, to the lack of production at the wide receiver position. Why has Daboll has been less aggressive this year? Is Jones still the future at quarterback? Is the schedule friendly enough for them to make the playoffs??

On the bright side, we discuss the recent play of the defense, including players like Bobby Okereke, Deonte Banks, Sexy Dexy, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Did the Giants screw up the trade deadline by not trading Saquon Barkley? You guessed it, this topic induces a classic Dan’s Rant.

We also touch on Evan Neal’s idiotic comments from several weeks ago, as well as discussing what we can realistically expect from the Giants for the rest of the season? All that and so much more!

Dan, Eric and Seth dive deep into the end of the Knicks season and offseason. They break down the Divencenzo signing, what they expect from the rest of the roster, and ponder why the Knicks would trade Obi Toppin for a proverbial bag of basketballs. Are the Knicks ready to take the next step, or are they still a player short?

Eric and Dan then move onto the GMennnnnn! They break down the draft picks, the resigning of Sexy and Andrew Thomas, and the latest on Saquon. Do the Giants have the roster to be a Super Bowl contender? Is Jones going to continue his ascension this year? What could hold back the team?

Looking forward to coming back after the start to the Giants' season!

We're back with a Knicks playoff preview! How did the Knicks secure the 5 seed? What impact did Brunson, IQ, and Randle have on the team's success? Are they capable of making an extended run in the playoffs??

What role will Obi Toppin play in the playoffs? What can we expect from RJ Barrett?

We close with a tribute to The Captain himself, the late Willis Reed. Seth and Dan recall the occasions they had to meet the all-time great.

We are back with Eric and Dan recording live together in beautiful Southern California!

We break down the start of the Giants offseason, including the Waller trade, Okereke signing, and the slew of other moves made by Schoen and company. Do we agree with all of the moves thus far?

We then have one of our favorite times of the year, our draft preview! The Giants still have several holes to fill. Eric and Dan break down what they think the Giants will do. With about 3 weeks left until the draft, might the Giants call a team with team with a receiver surplus and try to swing a trade?

Finally, we discuss the likelihood of a Dexter Lawrence extension, and what it could mean for someone like Saquon Barkley going forward.

Stay tuned for a Knicks playoff preview soon! We’ll be back with a Giants draft recap in May.

We are back with our Giants season in review, as well as a look ahead at free agency.

Eric and Dan break down the Giants season, discuss what went right, as well as what areas of the team needs improvement. We share our thoughts on the re-signing of Daniel Jones, as well as the Franchise Tag being placed on Saquon Barkley.

We look ahead to the upcoming free agency period, and offer our thoughts as to what their approach could be when free agency starts, including what positions Schoen and Co. should be targeting, as well as the possibility of a trade.

Next time we'll analyze the upcoming NFL Draft, and for the first time in nearly 6 years, Eric and Dan will be podcasting in the same room!
