Send us a textDrew and Rob are back with another packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, covering the latest headlines surrounding the New York Giants. The coaching carousel has settled, and Mike Kafka is officially returning as the Giants' offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore was hired by the Saints. Despite some speculation that Kafka could land the job in New Orleans, he remains in New York, ensuring continuity on Brian Daboll's staff. What does this mean for the Giants' offensive approach in 2025, and how does it impact their ongoing search for a quarterback?  Speaking of quarterbacks, the Giants are expected to pair a rookie signal-caller with a veteran this offseason. Sports Illustrated's Connor Orr suggests that Big Blue could target Bengals backup Jake Browning as a bridge QB, allowing a potential rookie—like Cam Ward—to develop. Browning impressed in Joe Burrow's absence last season, winning four of his seven starts and completing over 70% of his passes. The Giants hold the third overall pick in the draft, but could they also make a move for a seasoned quarterback to steady the ship?  While the Giants are focused on their rebuild, they face some brutal odds heading into next season. BetMGM currently lists them at 200-1 to win the Super Bowl—the worst odds in the NFL. Even teams like the Raiders, Browns, and Saints, who are also dealing with major uncertainties, have better chances according to the sportsbooks. Can the Giants use this as motivation to prove the doubters wrong?  Off the field, Giants fans got a reminder of their NFC East rivals' success when Jermaine Eluemunor found himself unintentionally caught up in the Eagles' Super Bowl parade at Disney. The veteran lineman took to social media, joking that he had to endure the Eagles' chant while trying to enjoy his last day at the park with his daughter. Meanwhile, Michael Strahan stirred up controversy among Giants fans when he waved an Eagles flag and said, "Fly Eagles Fly" during the Super Bowl pregame show. Amani Toomer didn't hold back, calling it a "shot across the bow" and insisting that former Giants players have every right to demand better from the franchise. Carl Banks backed him up, making it clear that the Giants' alumni are frustrated with the state of the team.  Looking ahead to the draft, Drew and Rob break down Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, who is rising up draft boards after leading the Buckeyes to a national championship. Howard's journey from Kansas State backup to championship-winning QB has been remarkable, and his skill set could fit well in Brian Daboll's system. He's got the arm strength and athleticism but still needs refinement in his mechanics and post-snap reads. Could the Giants target him in the middle rounds if they miss out on one of the top-tier quarterback prospects?  With the Giants holding the third spot in waiver priority, their offseason moves are just beginning. Who will they add, and what other changes are in store for Big Blue?

"Either go out there and be the best or don't... I have all the potential to and I have the team around me to do it, so there are no excuses." Breece Hall NY Jets Running Back Kicking off our 2024 NFL Training Camp tour in partnership with Fanatics, we head to Florham Park, NJ to visit with the New York Jets, catch a little of the first practice and Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with the man who league executives ranked the #2 running back heading into 2024 season, Breece Hall.  After a challenging 2023 season for New York, The Jets, with Aaron Rodgers back in the driver's seat, are aiming to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2010. Breece Hall is all fired up on their chances and believes this year is the one for the Jets as confidence remains high and the belief in his teammates even higher. He tells the Pivot all about the added pieces to the Jets roster and why the energy in the building is at a different level with a competitive focus on and off the field which he attributes to his belief that the team is destined to reach the AFC championship this season.  Beyond the changes and improvements on his team, Hall has not had an easy journey over the past year, and he confides in the Pivot about the peaks and valleys of last season, coming back from injury and battling through the hardships his team faced. Storying his football journey from a midwest school to slipping in the 2022 draft to suffering a brutal ACL injury to his bond with stars Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner who were all drafted the same year and and admiration for QB legend Aaron Rodgers, Hall opens up with the guys on what really goes on behind the scenes and the authenticity of locker room relationships. Hall shares never-heard-before stories about current and former players that will fuel your football excitement and open you up to the player's perspective of what it's like to chase NFL dreams. From his close-knit family upbringing that shaped the man he is to his insight on his former college roommate, Brock Purdy, to his off the field experiences in a viral airport confrontation that caused NY Giants great Carl Banks to intervene, to his ranking of fellow NFL running backs, this episode is packed with what makes football great- the grit, the love and the will to always want to be respected but win. We're just getting started with our tour, and bringing you sideline views and locker room conversations as we gear up for the return of the NFL season!
