One Giant Podcast

The New York Giants simply can't catch a break. Colin Johnson does down with a season ending injury and the guys jump in to debate who should fill that void. While Alex Bachman and David Sills V certainly put good film on tape, Darius Slayton is the only WR with the track record to back up the hype. Cap concerns could force Joe Schoen's hand but even if only for this season, as Sterling Shepard passes his physical, Darius Slayton is worth the $2.5m hit.

Injuries simply cannot be avoided for Big Blue and with a thinning LB and Te room the guys discuss the waiting game Joe Schoen must play as other teams cut potential targets. The 53-man roster is coming, and with the cuts down to 80 the guys look at a fresh projection and wonder preseason games can move the needle on deep roster positions. It is another reminder that a rebuilding team, with cash flow problems, will always struggle to improve on the fly.

The guys are in talking NY Giants football! Another preseason game and another win, but another injury(or two) for Big Blue. While Kayvon Thibodeaux may be walking off the chop block to his knee, the outlook on Darian Beavers is far worse. Along with CJ Board and Graham Gano, the Giants can't seem to make it out of games healthy. The guys discuss thinning defensive depth and that terrible turf at MetLife Stadium.

Along with CJ Board and Graham Gano, the Giants can't seem to make it out of games healthy. The guys discuss thinning defensive depth and that terrible turf at MetLife Stadium. Beyond the injuries Daniel Jones put together a strong game against the Bengals, and yet the guys are feeling frustrated knowing the full might of this offense will not come until week 1. The good news, even if Kenny Golladay is a shell of himself, Alex Bachman had a day for himself and the young talent at the wide receiver position continues to shine!

The New York Giants continue the road to the regular season and the offense continues to struggle. Some Giants fans are already calling for Tyrod Taylor to start, and Adam explains why this is all about Daniel Jones not the backup. In the WR room, Kenny Golladay is now front and center for the media grilling as the veteran wideout struggles to find his rhythm in camp. Andy highlights the positive and negative side of his comments as the guys ponder on the short-term upside of Collin Johnson. Finally, Saquon Barkley continues a strong training camp, but it did lead Adam to ask the question: will this be another wasted year for the talent running back? While Andy believes Barkley is loyal to Big Blue, at what point does the elite talent look to make a move to a winning team and playoff opportunities?

The guys are on updating the latest roster moves getting the Giants to 85 ahead of Tuesday's deadline. With just two weeks to the final 53-man roster a few notable media members broke out their early projections. It is easy to say most of thee roster is set, which is true - but as the guys discuss decisions around a receiver here, an extra linebacker there can have a shock wave impact for several young roster hopefuls.

The guys are back talking NY Giants Football! NFL is back baby, even if only a preseason opener! Recorded prior to Patriots announcing they most likely will not play their starters, the table is set for a very positive start to Brian Daboll's coaching career. Key members of the offensive line, secondary and WR core will all be watched with an optimistic eye!

The guys are back talking all things NY Giants! Preseason looms and the Big Blue tempers rose in training camp. First Saquon Barkley laid some wood to Arron Robinson, giving Adam the exact sample of hard north/south running he wants. As the heating scuffle broke out Booby Johnson played instigator rather than cool headed coach. Seeing Cam Brown and Jon Feliciano go at it was a good thing, but seeing the offense find its rhythm would be better. With a game one depth chart set, the guys discuss the WR room, the concerns around Kenny Golladay, and how the Giants want Darius Slayton to succeed.

The guys are talking NY Giants football on a Monday! Fan-fest was a great experience for thee Big Blue faithful but once again the on field product left OGP with a bit to be desired. Andy is starting to see some cracks to the Kenny Golladay hope train as the veteran wideout continues to look sluggish in camp. Wan'Dale Robinson received praise from Daniel Jones and seems to be consistently building towards an exciting rookie campaign.

The depth for Big Blue across the offensive line continues to take hits, and while veterans are being signed the guys discuss how this remains an area of quiet concern.

With the New England Patriots on tap for Thursday night Adam zeroes in on a key area for Daniel Jones to impress, while Andy wonders how thee running back room fleshes out after Saquon Barkley. In many ways game 1 will be about the secondary reps - an area where OGP will watch for the defensive side of the ball and players like Cordale Flott, Darian Beavers and other young talent to showcase themselves for bigger roles!

The guys talk about another solid practice for Daniel Jones and the offense and why the up and down camp is only a sample size. Kenny Golladay was among the bright spots as well, and while Adam and Andy don't agree on his importance, they both know short term team success will need everyone to meet expectations. Then there is the offensive line, a favorite topic for OGP! With Brian Daboll liking versatility but wanting a set five-man lineup, the guys debate what is the ideal roster heading into the season, and how development of young talent plays a big role.
