The Giants can chase Kenny Moore as a veteran defensive back who could help a secondary with real question marks, but the sacrifice is obvious: if he wanted out of Indianapolis because of man coverage, New York may be looking at a player who does not match what this defense wants to be. Is adding talent worth it if the fit might be wrong from the start?Follow the show on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy the Giants debates, roster breakdowns, and no-BS fan reactions.Drew breaks down the Giants cutting four players before rookie minicamp: Elijah Chatman, Swayze Bozeman, Courtney Jackson, and Marlon Tuipulotu. The moves are not shocking, but they do matter as the roster starts making room for draft picks, undrafted rookies, tryout players, and the next wave of offseason competition. Chatman had become a fan favorite because of his effort, but the Giants have added more proven defensive line bodies. Bozeman was mainly a special teams piece, Jackson was buried in the wide receiver room, and Tuipulotu was another defensive line depth option in a crowded group.Rookie minicamp also gets discussed, with the reminder that this is the time of year where hype can get out of control fast. Drew talks about which young players actually matter more when camp reports start coming out, including Arvell Reese, C.C. Maunoa, Colton Hood, and Malachi Fields, while warning Giants fans not to overreact to every undrafted rookie headline.Jameis Winston also somehow becomes part of the show after being named a FOX Sports correspondent for the FIFA World Cup. Drew may not be a soccer guy, but Jameis with a microphone is almost guaranteed to produce clips worth watching. That leads to a classic Goofballs detour into Best in Show, Fred Willard, Stifler's mom, and why Winston might have a long media career once football is done.The main debate centers on Kenny Moore after the Colts cut the former Pro Bowl corner. Moore is 30 years old, has years of production, can play mostly in the slot, has taken some outside and safety snaps, and still brings impressive run-defense value for a smaller defensive back. The argument for the Giants is simple: the secondary needs help, and Moore's versatility could give them another veteran option in a room with Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks, Colton Hood, Greg Newsome, Drew Phillips, Javon Holland, and Tyler Nubin all carrying different levels of uncertainty.But the concern is just as real. If Moore's issue in Indianapolis was tied to Lou Anarumo's man-coverage scheme, then why would he be a clean fit for a Giants defense expected to play plenty of press-man coverage? Drew walks through both sides: maybe the Giants could sell him on a bigger role as a slot/safety hybrid, or maybe the scheme fit makes the whole thing a bad idea before it even starts. The bottom line is that the Giants should at least have the conversation.The episode closes with live chat questions on the Giants' run defense, whether the new defensive line room can make up for losing Dexter Lawrence, Arvell Reese and Tremaine Edmunds changing the linebacker picture, Ladarius Sneed, Christian Wilkins, Kevin Zeitler, Evan Neal's roster chances, John Michael Schmitz, and which players might benefit most from the new coaching staff.Question for Giants fans: would you take a shot on Kenny Moore, or stay away if the man-coverage concern is real?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofbalSend us Fan MailSupport the show

Drew Phillips opened the doors of Four Phantoms in Greenfield, Massachusetts in 2021. He began his fermentation career in the Pacific Northwest, and while waiting to open his own brewery, he took on the role as cider maker at Artifact Cider Project. Drew Phillips Known for his creative ciders and beers, Drew blends tradition with innovation, sourcing local fruit and experimenting with wild fermentation. Check out his talk on the making of Old Gods . In this episode, Drew shares how Four Phantoms' unique approach reflects the terroir of Western Massachusetts. Early Challenges of a Brewery/Cidery: Gaining a License Drew initially couldn't produce cider legally due to licensing restrictions in Massachusetts. After securing a farmer winery license, he started making cider alongside beer and mead. All ciders are crafted from Pine Hill fruit in Colrain, Massachusetts. Signature Ciders and Fermentation Techniques Late Harvest – 6.5% Apples (Spy, Golden Russet and Baldwin) Tamlane – 6% 100% Macintosh apples, aged on black birch wood, giving it a herbal, German liqueur note. Redfield – 7.7% 100% Redfield apples – A red-fleshed apple cider with natural acidity and structure. Chapin's Waltz – 8.5% A blend of Golden Russet, Baldwin, and Northern Spy, co-fermented with low intervention. King of the Wharf – 7.5% A Mac-based cider aged on rum-soaked oak chips, giving it a smooth, warming finish. Old Gods – 8% Inspired by Finnish farmhouse brewing, fermented on black birch. Listen to Episode 345 on how Old Gods a Co-Fermentation of Wort and Apple Juice was made! Ciders Tasted during this chat Low Intervention and Sense of Place Drew emphasizes low-intervention cider making — no back-sweetening, minimal sulfites, and natural wild cultures. The ciders reflect the unique qualities of Western Massachusetts apples and local wood aging. Poly tanks and oak aging contribute to the distinctive flavors and textures. Community and the Future of Four Phantoms Four Phantoms Tasting Area by the production room Drew values the connection between local agriculture and cider. He sees cider's future as more craft-focused than beer, with room for independent voices. “Cider resists commercialization,” says Drew. “It's about sense of place.” Contact Info for Four Phantoms Website: https://fourphantoms.net Mentions in this Cider Chat Totally Cider Tours Cider Route Itinerary send a request to Cider Chat Cider Rap Song – by Robert Sherman of EsoTerra Ciderworks in Durango, Colorado
