One Giant Podcast

Adam looks at why picking up Kayvon Thibodeaux will be automatic for Joe Schoen and the Giants.He also makes quick work of Evan Neal, though taking time to note the mess that has been created across the offensive line.Finally a look at the Divisional Round of the Playoffs and if any backup QBs could be on Big Blue's offseason radar.

The guys look at some upsets over the weekend, how Justin Herbert and Jordan Love flopped, and what coaches are wrongfully being put on the hot seat. Shane Bowen is staying put, and the laundry list of improvement areas is shocking. Can he succeed?

What are the realistic options, and are there low-cost bridge options for New. York?

The guys look at the. changes that could be coming for Big Blue this offseason. While Mike Kafka likely will not land is first Head Coaching position this year, the Giants may still want a new voice for Offensive Coordinator. Brian Daboll may be getting stripped of some play calling duties in 2025 and it leaves the question of who is best suited to shape a potential rookie QB. There is also the Shane Bowen side of the football, where a new DC may be incoming - a role that has no shortage of candidates.

The guys discuss what comes next following gMr. Mara's support of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll. Can this still be a winning combination, and is a QB automatic in the upcoming draft.

Andy looks at the disastrous outcome against the Colts, and if Joe Schoen can survive a Brian Daboll firing

The guys look at every angle of the tankathon odds from games that matter to QBs that could have been. and even that could be(?) Michael Penix Jr. makes his first NFL start, a rookie QB that could have been a New York Giant. The benched Flacons starter, Kirk Cousin, may be on the Giants radar this offseason. Plus has Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos success put another negative nail in the the Joe Schoen GM coffin?

The guys turn to their second Head Coach spotlight, this time looking at the "other LeFleur" in Rams Offensive Coordinator. Mike LeFleur has coached under Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay and certainly has some pedigree under his belt. With some speculation on Matt Stafford's future in L.A. the Giants could certainly do worse than what would be the best pure talent QB to wear the Giants uniform. It would represent a pivot from a primarily future franchise QB mentality to one of immediate respect and leadership at the position. In John Spytek, current Assistant GM in Tampa, the Giants would create a HC/GM/QB tandem with front office experience in building around a veteran signal caller while navigating the draft and free agency as well.

The guys look at the ugly loss, and if it meets the historically bad standard of 2024. They also discuss the players, who continue to show effort every week - a sign of support for Brian Daboll?

The Giants are down to their final two homes games and still remain winless. Andy paints a very ugly picture for Big Blue in a home game where they are two touchdown dogs. PLus all the games to watch on Sunday(and Monday) as the Giants seek the number one overall pick in next years Draft.

The guys look at Mike Vrabel, his success in Tennessee and if he would make a talented Defensive Unit top of the league. There are GM candidates from the Titans, one of which resides inside the Giants walls already who have connections to Mike Vrabel. Where would OGP slot this hire on the offseason board?

It feels the Giants are in full tank mode, and the guys wonder if that signals the security of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll. On the field there may not be much to watch for, as OGP debates why players will risk much in meaningless games.

The guys look at key factors. over the final five games. from Kayvon Thibodeaux and his fifth year option, to potential bridge QBs for next season and what Brian Daboll needs to prove down the stretch

The guys look at what. mattered(if anything) from thee Thursday Night loss to the Cowboys. Over the weekend a few key games unfolded the wrong way, and the guys discuss where the strength of schedule puts Big Blue in a tough spot if bottom feeders continue to lose out.

The guys discuss Daniel Jones singing with the Minnesota Vikings, where Joe Schoen stands with the organization, and how Azeez Ojulari is the microcosm of ever recent failure for Big Blue

The guys look at the mess that is the New York Giants. Daniel Jones is gone, the team is still awful, and real questions are being asked of the Head Coach and GM. Is the Giants ship fully under water?

The guys look at thee pathetic team showing in Germany. It was more of the same with an inability to stop the run and an offense that put up 17 point in an Overtime game against a Carolina defense that surrenders 32 points on average. Interceptions, fumbles, missed Field Goals and questionable play-calling all chipped in to move the Giants to 2-8 on the season. 

The guys look at Tuesdays deadline and what it could mean for Big Blue. GM Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll were given the vote of confidence from John Mara. History tells us that means very little, but how active the Giants are at the deadline could give insight to the regimes ob security.Azeez Oulari and Darius Slayton are top potential trade pieces, but the compensatory equation plays its part in the moves the Giants do or do not make as well. There is certainly a "no one is untouchable" vibe for OGP - but how about a surprise trade of Jason Pinnock or veteran LB Bobby Okereke?

The guys look at everything that led to the Giants loss on Sunday at home. A stretch in the second quarter all but spelled their doom and the Giants gave up 14 points on back to back scoring drives with a one minute three and out of their own sandwiched in-between.To  read the box score tells one story but Giants fans have read this script all season.

The Giants are 2-6 but still. find themselves in the 9th slot of next years draft. The guys look at how the fanbase may need to slow down the automatic QB Draft plan, and use how tricky it is to balance losing while convincing owner ship this is the right regime going forward.

The guys look at the penalties, the coaching, the poor execution and ultimately the loss on the road for Big Blue.

The guys look at what could be the final game. for Daniel Jones as a starter

The guys look at the alarming stats for. Deonte. Banks this season, his willingness to take off plays, and if Joe Schoen has another potential miss on his first. round draft ledger. Adam also highlights the mid-week line on the Steelers matchup and if Big Blue could become a touchdown plus road dog gin Pittsburgh.

The guys look at where the Giants stand from a trade deadline stand point. There is still two more games to go before the November 5th deadline, which has the guys speculating when could decisions get made and if late round picks are worth moving Darius Slayton and Azeez Ojulari. Adam ponders Devin Singletary as a trade piece while Andy looks at Jason Pinnock as  potential value-sell.

The guys discuss what has become of the Offensive Line following the loss of Andrew Thomas. Joshua Ezeudu got one game at LT before the Giants seemingly pulled the plug on that experiment. Evan Neal will not even get a chance to play, as the Giants add Chris. Hubbard to provide a. short-term plug to a line that needs stability.

How will the Andrew Thomas injury impact the Offensive Line approach, and will we see an impact to other positional reps as well? The loss is brutal, but. is it also the effective end of the 2024-25 season for the Giants?

The guys discuss what feels like thee final blow to the. Giants season hopes. Already 2-4 and now without their ProBowl LT - it certainly feels like fans are ready to pivot back into tank mode. 

The Giants have good players. The Giants Defensive front is elite. The Giants have good coaching... and yet Big Blue remains an average team that will more often than not make the mistakes that lead to loses. Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfqIOTuEqp5mEpIW7lnkGAA/join HEAR THE PODCAST:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-giant-podcast/id1481967999 FOLLOW THE SHOW:https://twitter.com/oneGIANTpodcasthttps://twitter.com/AdamArmbrechthttps://twitter.com/amack214 READ ON SUBSTACK:https://substack.com/profile/19781728-adam-c-armbrecht?r=brzog&s=r&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=web

Will the Giants defense still dominant against a high-powered Bengals team? Without Kayvon Thibodeux it will be Azeez Ojulari's job to step up. Malik Nabers will miss the matchup as well, but last weeks win has Daniel Jones and the offense at least feeling confident in putting up big points.

The guys discuss thee key matchups for Sunday's game, including the potential absence of Malik Nabers and the depleted secondary for the Giants.Geno Smith could have a field day targeting DK Metcalf if Shane Bowen fails to scheme successfully against variety of weapons for Seahawks Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfqIOTuEqp5mEpIW7lnkGAA/join HEAR THE PODCAST:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-giant-podcast/id1481967999 FOLLOW THE SHOW:https://twitter.com/oneGIANTpodcasthttps://twitter.com/AdamArmbrechthttps://twitter.com/amack214 READ ON SUBSTACK:https://substack.com/profile/19781728-adam-c-armbrecht?r=brzog&s=r&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=web

The guys look at the recent. struggles for Devin Singletary - including his injury concerns. You cannot simply replace Saquon Barkley but thee Giants looked to have  a solid approach in revamping the Line and adding some complimentary pieces. While overall the Offensive Line has met expectations, Greg Van Roten was not the original plan and leaves Adam wondering if the Giants dropped the ball in depth this offseason.

The guys discuss the bad start to the season, the veteran QBs that are thriving in new homes, and if Daniel Jones can help the Giants win games this year.

The guys discuss the injury report for Big Blue, who could step up in the absence of Malik Nabers and Devin Singletary and if Dru Phillips is already the most important secondary player.  

Deonte Banks has been picked on week over week. In an offensive league with elite WR talent on nearly every roster, a number one CB is critical. Not only are those questions coming up for Banks, but the secondary overall continues to put Joe Schoen's roster construction under the microscope. Andy reminds the Giants faithful that the Brian Burns signing was "all you get" and that can be a great thing IF the Defensive Front gets home consistently.

The guys look at the lack of reps for. second year WR Jalen Hyatt and if a 1-3 record is enough to start pushing the trade narratives. Darius Slayton has just 10 catches through four games but could offer injury plagued rosters a position bump while providing Big Blue with more rebuilding assets.

The guys discuss how stats and. analytics tell one story on Daniel Jones season, while deep ball throws and sluggish offense tell another. Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfqIOTuEqp5mEpIW7lnkGAA/join HEAR THE PODCAST:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-giant-podcast/id1481967999 FOLLOW THE SHOW:https://twitter.com/oneGIANTpodcasthttps://twitter.com/AdamArmbrechthttps://twitter.com/amack214

Pressure Rate - Big Blue needs it to be a successful Defense and thankfully they have the players to do so. Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux are starting to heat up as Shane Bowen moves his chess pieces around the defensive board. Was a dominant performance against a depleted Browns Line a blip... or encouraging trend?

The guys discuss key Offensive Line analytics including Pass Block Win Rate as Big Blue looks to be a solid front in 2024. Beyond better players, it has also been health - with all five starters playing every snap this year - across the Offensive Line. With a sense of improvement, Adam. reminds fans that Devin Singletary was on a very bad boxscore prior to his game sealing run late vs Cleveland. The seeds of success are there, but the Giants cannot rest on a road win.

The guys look at the latest injury notes which bring more concerns to the Giants key defensive weakness in the secondary. Veteran Adoree Jackson and Dre Phillips both have calf injuries that received doubtful outlooks from Head Coach Brian Daboll. Even more alarming is that he does not believe they will go to IR - a positive statement but surprising caveat to be given. Greg Joseph will also remain in the kicking position, which has its own concerns. given his 40+ FG success rate.
