In this live segment of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, hosts Drew and Rob break down all the drama unfolding with the New York Giants following yet another tough loss. The episode starts by diving into the emotional response from former Giants star Saquon Barkley, who opened up after hearing boos at MetLife Stadium and witnessing fans burn his jersey in the parking lot. While admitting it’s hard not to take it personally, Barkley also defended his former teammate Daniel Jones, who continues to face harsh criticism from fans. 

The discussion shifts to the defensive side of the ball, where rookie cornerback Deonte Banks found himself under scrutiny for his effort in the Giants’ loss to the Eagles. On a crucial play, Banks appeared to slow down while quarterback Jalen Hurts scrambled, and the lack of intensity drew attention from both fans and the media. Banks owned up to the mistake, citing frustration and letting his emotions get the best of him during the game. 

As the Giants continue to struggle on offense, frustration is building among their playmakers. Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers voiced his dissatisfaction after the game, pointing out that he was open several times but simply wasn’t getting the ball. He emphasized the need for the offense to do a better job protecting the quarterback and sustaining drives to give the defense more rest. Nabers’ four catches for 41 yards all came in the first half, a stat that highlights the offense’s second-half collapse. Meanwhile, the injury bug has taken another toll on the team, with rookie wide receiver 

Looking ahead, the pressure is mounting on Daniel Jones, who will start next week despite his lackluster performance against the Eagles, where he completed just 14 of 21 passes for 99 yards. Head coach Brian Daboll acknowledged the offense’s inability to produce big plays, with the longest gain of the game being just 14 yards. Jones was eventually replaced by backup quarterback Drew Lock late in the game in an attempt to spark the offense, but Lock was unable to turn things around.

In terms of roster moves, the Giants made a few adjustments this week, signing defensive tackle Armon Watts to the active roster after he was elevated from the practice squad. The team also brought in veteran offensive tackle Chris Hubbard, though he was inactive for the Eagles game. Hubbard brings experience to a banged-up offensive line, having started nine games for the Titans last season. The offensive line continues to be an area of concern, and there may be a potential shake-up at left tackle after a shaky performance from Joshua Ezeudu.

As the Giants sit at a crossroads in their season, Drew and Rob also recap all the action from around the NFL in Week 7. From the Lions’ narrow win over the Vikings to the Patriots’ continued struggles, the hosts take a deep dive into how the rest of the league is shaping up as we approach the midway point of the season. 

 Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking to stay up-to-date with the latest NFC East and NFL news, this episode of *2 Giants Goofballs* has everything you need to know about the current state of the New York Giants.
