Big Blue Banter: A New York Giants Football Podcast

Dan Schneier and Nick Falato dive into arguably the sloppiest football game the Giants have played this season -- and that's saying a lot. The All-22 spells a Cowboys defensive game plan daring the Giants to run the ball with Daniel Jones or Saquon Barkley, but why was only Jones successful? Dan and Nick dive into a surprising number of penalties, mishaps in attention detail, and odd play calls all while circling back to find some hope in the play of Leonard Williams, Saquon Barkley in open space, and other Giants before circling back to answer all listener questions.

Dan Schneier and Nick Falato take the deep dive into the All-22 coaches film to figure out why the Giants lost another game where they won the time of possession battle against the Lions. Evaluating Daniel Jones under the All-22 lense has them even more excited about the rookie quarterback who continues to display better ball placement on a more consistent basis than the vast majority of quarterbacks drafted in the first or second round of the last two classes. Dan and Nick also explain what the All-22 taught them about the Giants' defense. They also dive into the Leonard Williams trade with a walk down his All-22 tape with the Jets. How he will fit James Bettcher's system, what this means for Dexter Lawrence, Dalvin Tomlinson, B.J. Hill, and more. Finally, they dive into all of the listener questions from the week.

Dan Schneier and Nick Falato dive into their immediate reactions to the Giants' 31-26 loss to the Detroit Lions in a game where they won the time of possession for the second week in a row, were out-gained by just five total yards (375-370), they won the turnover battle and had seven more first downs but still managed to trail by double digits for a portion of it. Who is accountable? How did the young roster progress? Or regress? Why were the Lions able to convert on so many third downs?

Dan and Nick break down the All-22 of the Giants' loss to the Cardinals and it further solidifies their biggest question mark -- why did Kliff Kingsbury have a perfect game plan to attack James Bettcher's defense but Pat Shurmur essentially had nothing new, specific, to attack Vance Joseph's defensive system with 10 days to prepare? Dan and Nick question why Pat Shurmur continues to call run plays when the offense's blockers are outnumbered by the total defensive players in the box -- and they point out how often it happened and how much it hurt them? They dive back into Daniel Jones' evaluation after seeing the All-22, they give a shoutout to the game's most underrated player -- Golden Tate, dive into all the questions from the listeners, and a lot more key takeaways from the coaches film.

Dan Schneier and Nick Falato break down every aspect of the New York Giants' Week 4 win over the Washington Redskins based on their evaluations from the All22 Coaches film. They start by diving into Pat Shurmur's offensive plan of attack and play-calling mix. The flip over to the defensive side of the ball to touch on the same thing but with James Bettcher. Then, the focus shifts to Daniel Jones with a breakdown of some key plays that showed how he's wise well beyond his years. Of course, full analysis of the two interceptions, why they happened, and how they can be fixed comes next.

A deep dive into the offensive line comes next followed by a breakdown of the running backs. Evan Engram is winning quickly and on routes much sooner than he has at any point in his career -- Dan and Nick break down why. Finally, the defense is highlighted by the best performance by a Giants linebacker -- Ryan Connelly -- in over a decade. Nick and Dan follow up with why they believe David Mayo could be a surprise contributor moving forward, a full breakdown of how Oshane Ximines and Dexter Lawrence have made such a massive impact already as rookies, why Grant Haley's run defense is keeping him in the lineup, and why Jabrill Peppers was the player of the game. Finally, Nick and Dan answer questions about pancakes, waffles, the Vikings' game plan for Week 5, and a lot more.
