1:00- Conor Orr joins G&D to recap the Jets-Commanders joint practice.
Our podcast previews continue a rollicking NFC East discussion. Conor Orr, the exceptional scribe at Sports Illustrated, joins me to break it all down. Brian Daboll has taken matters into his own hands this summer. Clearly, these practices are different. The Giants don't want to get pushed around again. That “Click Click Boom” by Saliva you hear on the speakers is no accident. Granted, Daniel Jones is central to any Giants conversation. Is Jones primed for an Alex Smith-like renaissance? Or do New Yorkers see more of the same? In Dallas, Orr's “Disney” analogy is perfect. Jerry Jones is drawing droves of fans into AT&T Stadium with the flashy names — Dak! CeeDee! Parsons! — but, once you're in, the product isn't nearly as glamorous as you think. There's long lines, mayhem and overpriced beverages. Philadelphia, conversely, does have a very strong roster… but there's sneaky pressure on the quarterback. You can follow Orr on X, and read all of his excellent musings and feature stories at SI.com.
