Episode 32 – Giants Fallout, Mock Draft Madness, and Burrow Deep Dive


Listen Later

The crew returns with fire and precision after a week off, opening with the seismic firing of Brian Daboll as head coach of the New York Giants. Eliot, Brian, and Toni trade sharp reactions and pitch their own replacements—names like Lane Kiffin, Mike McCarthy, Lincoln Riley, and Jeff Hafley enter the ring. The Kyler Murray saga heats up as Eliot floats Atlanta, Toni throws Cincinnati into the mix, and Miami lingers as a wildcard. Eliot, our resident draft architect, breaks down what he’d do with the Titans’ first overall pick—trade or build? We touch on Jaire Alexander’s temporary exit from football, then go surgical on Joe Burrow’s return and his standing in the quarterback pantheon. The Buffalo Bills face a legacy crossroads: should McDermott stay if they miss the Super Bowl, especially with Kansas City off home turf? Thursday Night Football predictions follow, then Eliot unveils his way-too-early mock draft, slicing through the top 15 picks. We close with Toni’s flowers for Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson—much to Brian’s amusement as the show’s Bears loyalist—and wrap with “Career Path,” our memory-testing endgame. No episode last week, but we’re back Sunday with deeper dives and sharper takes as the NFL season unfolds.
