The Shock Treatment - A New York Football Giants podcast

🔥 EPISODE 59 — MICHAEL BOLEY

The Giants are 2-1 after a gritty 12-7 win over the Titans, and this felt like one of those games the old Giants would’ve found a way to lose.

But we didn’t.

We break down Jameis Winston’s first win, Skattebo, Zvada, Holland, Arvell Reese, the defense, and the Brian Burns injury.

And then, while we were recording…

🚨 THE GIANTS TRADED FOR J.J. MCCARTHY.

So yeah… we had to talk about that too. 😂

A crazy episode after a crazy week.

Episode 58 of The Shock Treatment

Jaxson Dart’s season is over. Surgery is coming. It sucks.

But we’re not writing the kid’s story in September of Year 2.

He’s 23. He’s got time. We’ll be waiting for him.

In the meantime, it’s Jameis Winston’s show.

The roller coaster is here. Believe.

Andrew Thomas practiced.

We’re still 1-0 in the division.

Hit the reset button. The season starts Sunday against the Titans.

Let’s go Big Blue.

THE SHOCK TREATMENT — EMERGENCY POD EPISODE 57.5

The news Giants fans were hoping we wouldn’t hear.

Further testing has revealed that Jaxson Dart’s knee injury is worse than initially believed, with reports that season-ending surgery is now a possibility.

In this emergency episode, we talk about the latest developments, what this could mean for Dart and the Giants, Jameis Winston potentially taking over at quarterback, and the brutal reality of how quickly the outlook for this 2026 season can change.

Nothing has been officially finalized yet.

But damn…

This one hurts.

Please be okay, Jaxson. 💙

THE SHOCK TREATMENT — EPISODE 57

CHASE BLACKBURN — “PLEASE BE OK, JAXSON”

Well, Giants fans… that fucking sucked.

The Giants get blown out by the Rams 28-6 on Monday Night Football, but the final score almost feels secondary after Jaxson Dart left the game with a knee injury on the opening drive.

In Episode 57, we break down the ugly loss, the latest on Dart as we await his MRI, Jameis Winston being thrown into the game unexpectedly, and the brutal team statistics that tell the story of just how badly the Giants were outplayed.

We talk 481 yards allowed, 182 yards gained, a 3.3 yards-per-play average, the Rams’ dominant rushing attack, Davante Adams’ monster night, Aaron Donald’s return, and a running game that couldn’t get going.

But it’s not all negative.

We give flowers to Jevon Holland for his two interceptions and forced fumble, Abdul Carter for his first NFL sack, and talk about how this Giants team responds when adversity finally hits.

We also pay our respects to Ernie Accorsi, reflect on what this franchise has meant across generations, and look ahead to the Titans coming to MetLife.

The Giants are 1-1.

The loss was ugly.

The injuries are concerning.

But the season isn’t over.

Now we find out what this team is made of.

Most importantly: PLEASE BE OKAY, JAXSON.

THE SHOCK TREATMENT — EPISODE 56

“THE GOAT” 🐐

The Giants are 1-0, and Episode 56 is LOADED.

We break down the 28-20 Sunday Night Football victory over Dallas, starting with the poise and command of Jaxson Dart in his regular-season debut. 23/29, 230 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT — and a Giants offense that converted 9 of its first 10 third downs.

We talk about the new identity of this football team — physical, aggressive, accountable and ready to punch back.


👀 Najee Harris potentially making his Giants debut
🏃‍♂️ Why this running back room is giving us shades of 2007
💙 Malik Nabers getting his first regular-season catch 
🧱 Andrew Thomas appreciation
⚡ The Giants’ defense rallying around Dart after the sideline hit
🛡️ Maybe I spoke too soon about the cornerback room?
👀 Paulson Adebo to IR
📉 The Daboll vs. Harbaugh contrast
🐐 Lawrence Taylor and why Episode 56 belongs to the GOAT

Then we turn the page to Monday Night Football in Los Angeles.

Aaron Donald is potentially returning.
Puka Nacua.
Davante Adams.
Matthew Stafford.
Sean McVay.

Can Jaxson Dart do it again?
Can the Giants’ running game travel?
Can this defense handle the Rams’ weapons?

The Giants are 1-0.

Now let’s see if this new-look Giants team can prove it wasn’t a fluke.

The Shock Treatment — Episode 56.

Week 1. Giants 28, Cowboys 20. The Hardbaugh era starts with a W.

On this episode of The Shock Treatment:

• OBJ’s blonde hair is back, MetLife popped, Cruz, Rolle, Tuck, and LT in the building

• Nabers active and involved — first catch is a mental win

• Dallas 3-and-out to open, Giants defer, then punch them in the mouth on the ground

• Skattebo TD (lose the backflip), then Singletary finishes a clock-killer drive

• Isaiah Likely is the steal of the offseason — wide-open TD, another TD, “3rd and Likely”

• Dart processing fast, taking hits, getting everyone the ball

• Defense has juice under Dennard Wilson — Holland pick after the Tracy fumble

• Refs, Adebo on specials, Banks/Newsome banged up, and why Joey Porter Jr. is a name to watch

• Mara hands Harbaugh the game ball

• Nagy + Roman actually looks like a real offense

Big Blue talk. Real talk. Go Big Blue.

EPISODE 54 — THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

The 2026 regular season is finally here, and the New York Giants are heading into Week 1 with a completely different feel around the organization.

Michael breaks down the Giants’ final 53-man roster and compares it to his own preseason projection — and somehow went 49-for-53 for a 92.5% hit rate.

Then there’s the biggest story of all: Odell Beckham Jr. is officially back with the Giants. We talk about what his return means, why he earned his roster spot, the leadership he brings to Malik Nabers and Jaxson Dart, and why OBJ doesn’t need to be the same player he was in 2014 to make an impact.

And because this is the Giants, the breaking news didn’t stop while we were recording…

🚨 Jameis Winston signs a 2-year extension
🚨 Jon Runyan Jr. signs a 2-year, $22 million extension
🚨 Darius Slayton is released just six days before the season opener

We also dive into John Harbaugh’s new culture, Isaiah Likely’s eye-opening comments about the changes inside the building, Cam Skattebo’s expected workload, the massive changes to the linebacker room, the defensive line concerns, Jaxson Dart’s supporting cast and what we need to see when the Giants take on the Dallas Cowboys.

The new era is here.

Giants football is back.

And as always…

There’s no place like home. 🏠⚡️
