GL Pod: Tiki Barber on the present — and future — of the New York Giants


Listen Later

The New York Giants needed to get the quarterback position right this offseason.

And yet, this wasn’t exactly the year to be quarterback hunting. Options were limited.

Now that the dust has settled, can GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll sell a vision to ownership? I caught up with one of the franchise’s all-timers — running back Tiki Barber — on the Go Long Pod this week to learn more. After inking Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency, the Giants stuck at No. 3 overall to take perhaps the best player in the draft (Abdul Carter), before then managing to jump back into the first round for Ole Miss passer Jaxson Dart.

This division is loaded, but there are signs of hope on this roster.

Barber, who calls the team “unwatchable” a year ago, believes the Giants can find an identity. He recently spoke to the team, too.

Video and audio of our chat are both available above, and you can also access the Go Long Pod over at Apple, Spotify and everywhere you pod. After diving into Barber’s life a while back, we stick to the Giants of today on this episode.

Here’s the written transcript if preferred.

Barber hits on everything Giants. A handful of topics discussed….

* Life post-Saquon.

* The “juggernaut” Philadelphia Eagles. Barber can’t help but love what his arch-nemesis has created.

* What went wrong for Daniel Jones?

* What can go right for Jaxson Dart? Personalities — finally — have a chance to match.

* Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll and the identity both are trying to create for this team.

* The moment Barber started to believe in rookie Eli Manning.

And of course, you can always catch Barber’s analysis in the New York sports media scene. He co-hosts “Evan and Tiki” on WFAN.

Go Long is completely independent.

Thank you for fueling our longform, and sharing the word.
