One Giant Podcast

Adam discusses the early off-season move form Joe Schoen which can start to lay the blueprint for moving this roster forward. With plenty of buzz around the coordinators - Wink Martindale came close, but ultimately did not become the Head Coach for the Indianapolis Colts. Adam discusses the continuity piece for this roster for second year players, free agents and draft picks.

Adam discusses the $44 million dollars in ca space that Joe Schoen will have to work with this off-season to improve the Giants roster. In just two quick potential moves, the contracts of Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley will eat up nearly all of that space.

The guys discuss the potential loss of coordinators Mike Kafka and Wink Martindale as they both interview for Head Coaching vacancies. Is it possible John Mara will green light a pay raise to keep them in New York? Joe Schoen will also have several decisions to make this off-season key among them will be Saquon Barkley and how to retain his services without breaking the back. Adam and Andy highlight the different options from long term contract down to the transition tag, which would offer the lowest cap-hit with a small risk of losing the star running back to another team - which would in turn reward the Giants with two first round picks!

Adam and Andy talk the Divisional Round loss and the key contract conversations around the Giants. The most important quotes came from Daniel Jones, who said all the right things regarding wanting to be a Giant and the success this team can build on. There was a clear sentiment in his comments that suggests he(and is agent) know the market is thin for QB needy teams and this will not necessarily be a "hometwon discount" scenario. How could a rising price-tag impact Joe Schoen's approach? Saquon Barkley said all the right things in wanting to return while knowing he has reset his value after injury filled seasons. Leonard Williams seemingly wants to stay attached to Dexter Lawrence, who's emergence as one of the top DT in the NFL will only serve to benefit Williams performance, but the $32m cap hit will need to be adjusted if Joe Schoen is looking to keep the veteran lineman in New York.

The guys tel you how Big Blue wins over Philadelphia, plus Andy’s bet of the week as Daniel Jones leads the Giants for a Divisional Round upset over the dirty birds!

Adam hopped on live to react to the incredible New York Giants win over the Vikings to advance in the NFC playoffs! Daniel Jones was perfect - he made crisp smart throws, ran when the throws weren't there and lead the offense wire to wire. The offense got multiple touchdowns from Saquon Barkley who had over 100 all-purpose yards and the standout game from Isaiah Hodgins who continues to showcase his long term role.

This was the first playoff appearance in six seasons, and the first playoff win in over a decade. It was everything Big Blue fans wanted and deserved!

The guys are in talking the surprising confidence a week 18 loss has brought to the Giants fanbase. With backups across the field the Giants gave the Eagles all they could handle in a must win game for Philadelphia. It furthers the season long narrative of how important quality coaching is in the NFL.

The Giants are now locked into a re-match with the Vikings and in in looking across both Conferences, Daniel Jones and the Giants have to believe they have as good a chance as anyone to make some noise in the postseason.

They also take a few minutes to highlight Adam's appearance on the Boomer and Gio show which had him answering for some podcast missteps over the past week.

Lastly, Andy paints a very pretty picture where Big Blue is hosting a playoff game after a dream run to the NFC Championship!

The guys kick things off discussing Julian Love and his George Young "Good Guy of the Year" award. Both Adam and Andy have to acknowledge that they were uncertain of the role Julian would have inside a rebuilding organization, but it turned out a little Love is exactly what the Giants needed.

Under Wink Martindale Love emerged as a a veteran leader, team captain and consistent performer each and every week for Big Blue.

Beyond the feel good vibes, the guys also look at week 18 and why the performance of the back ups could prove more critical than any starter. Each host provides a couple of key names who could give themselves a confidence boost just in case their number gets called during the playoffs.
