In today’s Locked On Giants podcast episode, we dive deep into where the Giants stand now that they’ve wrapped up the preseason and have set their sights on Week 1. Ed Valentine from Big Blue View joins Patricia Traina to break down everything we’ve learned—from the positive energy in the locker room to lingering concerns as the roster takes shape, and key player readiness.

We’ll revisit standout rookie performances, discuss who surprised us (for better or worse), and examine those crucial depth chart decisions ahead of the final roster cuts. Plus, we’ll look at how Head Coach Brian Daboll’s approach has evolved, the all-important need for a fast start to the season, and some under-the-radar position battles that could shape the early part of the Giants’ schedule.

Russell Wilson is set as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants, but who won the backup role? The answer could lie in weekly strategic moves, which we’ll break down, as well as how the moves could affect whether the Giants look to trade a quarterback.

We’ll also look into the Giants’ top three remaining roster needs and explore the two biggest Giants players who are likely to make the team, but only due to their being on scholarship. Tune in for expert analysis on the Giants' roster decisions and their implications for the upcoming NFL season.

Whether you’re a new Giants fan or someone who has followed the team for decades, there’s sure to be a story or two you’ll enjoy reliving in "The Big 50: The Men and Moments That Made the New York Giants," available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other fine retail stores offering books.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the biggest hidden concern that could define the Giants’ success in 2025: the run defense. Despite a promising offseason and upgrades across the roster, we look at what’s holding the run defense back.

Plus, we’ll go through the most heated roster battles at the bottom of the depth chart, giving you our perspective on who’s on the rise, who might be on the way out, and which surprise names are making a real case to stick around.

And in our final segment, we’re tackling—no pun intended—the Giants’ salary cap situation. Find out which veterans could be asked to take pay cuts and what moves the front office might make to create much-needed financial flexibility heading into the season.

In today’s Locked On Giants episode, host Patricia Traina and guest Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan and CBS Sports dive into the NY Giants’ impressive 31-12 preseason win over the New York Jets and break down what that performance means for the team moving forward.

We’ll tackle some of the hot-button issues, including whether Russell Wilson truly has something left in the tank, Jackson Dart’s NFL progress, and the ever-present question marks surrounding the Giants’ run defense, particularly when All-Pro Dexter Lawrence isn’t on the field.

We also explore the competition at the bottom of the roster at the offensive skill position groups and give you a rundown of what the offensive line shuffle could mean for Evan Neal, how the Giants are toying with their personnel—especially if Malik Nabers isn’t at 100%.
