The guys do part 1 of "Can We Say That?", which features Mike's reactions to a couple of Giants moves.
Evan Neal is officially done with the Giants, reopening the debate over where the former No. 7 pick ranks among the biggest draft busts in franchise history. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit their old predictions, explain why Neal never developed and compare his failure to infamous Giants first-round misses. The Jets also face a major backup quarterback question behind Geno Smith, with Jimmy Garoppolo emerging as the preferred insurance policy. Plus, the crew debates Geno's future, a possible future pursuit of Joe Burrow, puzzling Jets roster cuts, Odell Beckham Jr. making the Giants and Red Sox radio ripping Jazz Chisholm for stealing during a Yankees blowout.
Despite Red Sox announcers and fans melting down the Yankees rightfully stomped Boston in the weekend series. The Giants cut Evan Neal and keep Odell Beckham Jr
Bob Papa and Carl Banks break down the Giants' initial 53-man roster and the difficult decisions surrounding cutdown day. They dive into Odell Beckham Jr. completing his comeback and earning a roster spot, the departures of Evan Neal and Jalin Hyatt, concerns about the Giants' defensive tackle depth and run defense, and why more roster moves could still be coming. Plus, they discuss the wide receiver competition, John Michael Schmitz and the offensive line, and the new-look offense under John Harbaugh's staff. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Anthony breaks down the five biggest New York Giants training camp battles to watch as camp begins soon. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Ben Rice has Shaun Morash excited about the Home Run Derby again, thanks to a revamped format and the chance to share the event with his daughter. Shaun and Tiki Barber debate whether fewer swings and a more relaxed pace can restore the fun and showcase the pure power that made the competition special. The conversation then turns to the Giants, including Evan Neal's possible move to guard and the bigger, more physical identity forming across the roster. Shaun and Tiki also examine the uncertainty surrounding Malik Nabers' recovery, why fans should manage their expectations for the season opener, and how the team must be prepared to compete without rushing its top playmaker back.
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
Anthony reacts to the breaking news that the New York Giants are signing offensive guard Daniel Faalele to a one-year contract. Reunited with his former head coach, the Australian giant comes to New York as the immediate favorite to start at Right Guard. We break down his 2025 tape with the Ravens, his transition from tackle to guard, and what this means for the Giants' plans at the 5th overall pick. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Cutting Graham Gano gives the Giants cap relief, but the bigger price is that it throws a brighter light on a roster full of players now fighting to prove they still belong in the long-term plan. If 2026 is really the prove-it year Drew and Rob say it is, which Giants are actually safe?Follow 2 Giants Goofballs on Spotify so you do not miss the next episode, and if you listen on Apple Podcasts, leave a 5-star rating and review to help more Giants fans find the show.This episode starts with the expected Graham Gano move and what it says about where the Giants are right now, but the heart of the show is the 2026 hot-seat debate. Drew and Rob go player by player through the roster and ask which names are entering a year that could decide whether they stay part of this team, slide into backup roles, or start running out of NFL runway entirely. Darius Slayton comes up first, with a real debate about whether his years of overachieving can survive one more season in a more crowded room. Theo Johnson gets put under the microscope for the same reason Giants fans keep getting stuck on him: the route running and flashes are there, but the drops keep turning opportunity into frustration. Andrew Thomas is the bigger-money version of that pressure conversation, because when he is healthy he changes the entire line, but if the injuries pile up again the questions will get louder whether anyone likes it or not. John Runyan Jr. and John Michael Schmitz also get framed exactly the way the show sees them now: not disasters, not long-term locks, just two linemen entering a season where “okay” might not be enough.The defensive side gets even more uncomfortable. Dexter Lawrence is still treated with respect, but the episode leans into the hard version of the question: if the production does not bounce back, how long do the Giants keep paying elite-money for something short of elite impact? Micah McFadden gets the prove-it treatment as well, because this year may decide whether he is viewed as a real starter or more of a useful rotational piece. In the secondary, Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks, Tyler Nubin, and Jevon Holland all get hit from different angles, whether it is contract value, lack of ball production, poor coverage play, or the risk of getting jumped by cheaper competition. Drew and Rob do touch on the owners meetings, John Mara being there, John Harbaugh's comments, the OBJ noise, and the low-risk swings on Evan Neal and Joshua Ezeudu, but those are supporting stories. The real episode is the Giants hot-seat conversation and the stakes attached to it. Which players are still pillars, which ones are hanging by a thread, and which ones may already be closer to the exit than fans want to admit?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

1. Are Francis Mauigoa and/or Spencer Fano NFL-caliber tackles? Which of them deserves to be the first OL off the board and why?2. If we take this first round "tackle tax" out of the picture, would you say Monroe Freeling is worth the risk for say the Browns at 6 despite his shortcomings (lack of starting experience, raw areas in his game, etc.)?3. How much optimism do you have (if any) that Kadyn Proctor will have a far more successful NFL career than D.J. Fluker had and that Evan Neal has had thus far?4. Why should we be confident in Caleb Lomu's pass protection skills coming out of that Utah offense? Do you think he needs a "redshirt" rookie campaign in the weight room?5. Do you think Max Iheanachor is capable of being a Week 1 starter for whatever team drafts him?6. There were some rumblings at the Combine that several NFL decision makers believe Penn State G Vega Ioane is one of the few blue chip prospects in this draft. Dane Brugler of The Athletic shares a similar sentiment as he believes Ioane has a legit argument for being the best overall OL in the 2026 class given his combination of strong tape, high-level traits, and high-level football character. Just how strong do you think that argument is for Vega Ioane?7.

Three days into NFL free agency, Monte and Sal unpack the Giants' early moves—re-signing Jermaine Eluemunor, adding Isaiah Likely, Pat Ricard, Adarius Washington, and Greg Newsome, while bringing back Evan Neal on a prove-it deal and losing Wan'Dale Robinson and Cor'Dale Flott. They discuss the team's apparent cap restraint, the vision for a more physical run-heavy offense and defense under the new Harbaugh/Ponte/Shane regime, and why the interior trenches remain the glaring unfinished business. The duo then runs two full seven-round mock drafts—one without trades (BPA-focused) and one with strategic trades down—landing impact players.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro & sound issues00:48 – Free agency recap & early signings03:53 – Evan Neal return & reactions07:21 – Cap restraint & competing in 202611:01 – Offensive additions (Likely, Ricard) & run-game vision16:00 – Defensive additions (Edmunds, Washington, Newsome)20:01 – Mock draft setup & no-trade scenario43:00 – Trade-down scenario & strategy1:09:00 – Final draft grades & closing thoughtsPlease Rate and Subscribe!Follow Us:@HesAGiantPod@montecri5to@queens_guy

Evan Neal comes back to Big Blue and Morash isn't happy. The Knicks beat the Jazz, The WBC continues on, and much more
A packed hour starts with the stunning return of Evan Neal to the Giants and a heated debate over whether John Harbaugh has earned blind trust from fans. The conversation digs into Neal's disappointing career arc, the possibility of a move to guard, and why this low-cost signing still feels like a massive perception test for a franchise trying to turn the page. The show also bounces around a busy sports day with reaction to the Knicks' comeback win in Utah, frustration over the World Baseball Classic bracket, and discussion of Carlos Beltran's complicated Mets legacy after news that his number will be retired. It's a lively mix of Giants skepticism, baseball passion, and classic New York sports talk energy.
The show dives into a packed New York sports conversation, from what the Knicks' three-point numbers reveal about winning to the emotional reaction around Geno Smith potentially returning to the Jets. The hosts wrestle with a bigger question facing the franchise: is short-term competence enough, or should everything be focused on finding a true long-term future at quarterback? The episode also covers Carlos Beltran's Mets legacy and why his number retirement feels significant despite the complications surrounding his career, plus a lively interview with Carl Banks on Giants culture, offseason moves, Evan Neal, and the mindset John Harbaugh's influence could bring. Add in debate over Team USA's approach to the World Baseball Classic and whether American players are treating it with the same urgency as other countries, and the result is a fast-moving episode full of strong opinions, fan frustration, and big-picture New York sports talk.
Carl Banks interview that mixes nostalgia with real football insight. Banks discusses the Big East starter event, then dives into the Giants' offseason identity, why he likes the physical tone of the roster moves, what John Harbaugh's football-first mindset could mean, and why Evan Neal still deserves one more real look. Along the way, the show also touches on Carlos Beltran's complicated but Hall of Fame-worthy Mets legacy, making this a packed opening stretch with strong opinions and plenty of New York energy.
Giants fans are already looking toward the future after another disappointing season, and one unexpected move has everyone talking: the team bringing back Evan Neal. In this episode, the conversation dives into whether the former first-round pick deserves another shot and what his return says about the direction of the franchise under a new coaching regime. Callers weigh in on everything from Neal's infamous “burger flipper” comment to the possibility of moving him from tackle to guard in hopes of reviving his career. The discussion also explores what realistic expectations should be for the Giants next season, whether fans should trust the new leadership, and what it would take for Neal and the team—to rewrite the narrative going forward.
The New York Giants made a surprising move that immediately sparked debate across the fanbase: bringing back former first-round pick Evan Neal. Once drafted seventh overall with expectations of becoming a cornerstone offensive lineman, Neal's career has instead been defined by inconsistency, injuries, and mounting criticism. Now, on a low-risk veteran minimum deal, the question isn't just why the Giants brought him back it's whether a fresh coaching approach could finally unlock the player many believed he was supposed to be. In this episode, the hosts break down Neal's rookie tape, how his development appeared to derail after year one, and the complicated perception surrounding his career so far. They debate whether coaching, motivation, or the team's offensive line situation could explain the decision, while also revisiting the controversy that fueled fan frustration. With a new coaching era beginning, the conversation turns to trust: should Giants fans believe this staff sees something everyone else has missed—or is this simply another chapter in a disappointing draft story?
Anthony reacts to the New York Giants' shocking decision to re-sign Evan Neal to a one-year deal. We dive into why John Harbaugh and Mike Bloomgren are willing to give the former #7 overall pick one last chance at Right Guard. Plus, we highlight the "underrated" moves of the week, including the arrival of Patrick Ricard and Ar'Darius Washington. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle break down the wildest calls, Evan Neal drama, and jaw-dropping Giants updates! Plus, you won't believe what they reveal about John Candy, bobsledder, babysitter, and secret polka band member?! From 30-degree temperature drops to hilarious listener fails, this segment has it all.
Things get heated on The Carton Show as Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle debate the New York Giants shocking move to bring back Evan Neal.
The debate keeps getting hotter on The Carton Show as Craig Carton and Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle continue arguing about the New York Giants bringing back Evan Neal. Carton says the move is embarrassing for Big Blue and can't believe Giants fans are defending it after Neal's disastrous play and his infamous “lion doesn't concern himself with sheep” comment about the fanbase. Meanwhile, Big Mac tries to calm things down, arguing it's just a veteran minimum flyer that doesn't really matter.
The New York Giants are bringing back Evan Neal and Craig Carton cannot believe it. On The Carton Show, Craig and Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle react to the shocking decision to re-sign the former 7th overall pick to a one-year veteran minimum deal. Carton rips the move, calling Neal one of the biggest draft busts in franchise history and questioning why a new regime would keep a player who represents years of failure for Big Blue.
Evan Neal returns to the New York Giants for a one year deal. But WHY??? What's the dumbest sport to cheat in? How about Fishing? Evan said earlier in the day that Craig owes Morash an apology after hearing Wink Martindale say that he believes Woody Johnson interfered with him being hired by the Jets. Well well well.... After hearing Wink talk, Craig says EVAN owes the apology. Plus, C-Mac has his eyes set for this Yankee to have a huge season. Patriots partied hard after the AFC Championship game, but did they party the right way?
By refusing to pay for guard help, the Giants may preserve cap flexibility for the rest of free agency, but they also risk leaving a major weakness on the offensive line underfunded while forcing themselves into bargain-basement shopping. Is this the wrong bet if Big Blue still has too many holes to trust cheap fixes? And if they are already near the bottom of their budget, was passing on mid-tier guard help a bad priority in the first place?Follow on Spotify so you don't miss the next Giants reaction. If you listen on Apple Podcasts, please drop a 5-star rating and review.Drew and Rob spend most of this episode going at the biggest debate from Day 3 of Giants free agency: why are the Giants suddenly acting like they're out of money, and could this plan backfire? That is the heart of the show. They react to the report that New York is no longer willing to pay mid-tier guard money, question why a team with obvious holes would choose this route, and break down what it means if the Giants are now stuck shopping in the bargain aisle. The real tension here is simple: saving money keeps options open, but it can also leave the line and the roster overall without the kind of proven help this team still needs. They go through which cheaper veterans still make sense, what positions should be prioritized if the next deals have to be modest, and whether this front office is putting too much faith in coaching and low-cost fliers instead of fixing the problem directly.Evan Neal's one-year minimum return becomes part of that same argument. Is bringing him back a smart no-risk flier, or is it another example of betting on hope when the Giants need answers? The episode also hits a few remaining free-agent fits, Cam Skattebo's rehab progress, and the growing feeling that Big Blue may already be closer to draft mode than fans expected.

Offensive lineman Evan Neal speaks to the media Wednesday from the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
BT & Sal unleash a fiery argument for a complete organizational clean house following the Giants' continued losing. While they credit interim head coach Mike Kafka for showing "guts" by holding a star player accountable, they argue that retaining GM Joe Shane and promoting Kafka would result in a "stale" regime. The hosts fear that allowing Shane, whose roster-building track record is criticized (e.g., Evan Neal, Daniel Jones handling), to hire another head coach would only compound the team's long-term ineptitude. They stress that a "clean break" is the only way for the Giants to find new juice and finally achieve a successful rebuild.
BT & Sal are infuriated by the Giants' "ass-backwards" decision to fire head coach Brian Daboll while retaining GM Joe Schoen and allowing him to lead the search for a new coach. Sal argues that the Giants' failure to clean house is a continuation of decades of "ineptitude." Tierney is "genuinely stunned," questioning why any "battle-tested adult" coach with a winning resume would hitch their wagon to a GM "hanging by a thread" and pointing out that Schoen's roster depth is "pathetic." The hosts dissect the stunning quote in the press release that they feel Schoen "assembled a good young nucleus," given his track record of major busts like Evan Neal. They conclude that by splitting the ticket, the Giants chose the absolute "worst option," dooming the franchise to more losing.
BT & Sal are furious at the Giants' "idiotic decision" to fire head coach Brian Daboll but retain General Manager Joe Schoen to lead the next coaching search. They slam the move as the "worst thing they could do," arguing Schoen's track record—including an inept roster and highly questionable draft picks (Evan Neal, Deonte Banks)—has earned him no right to hire another coach. The hosts question how ownership can possibly trust Schoen, labeling the franchise "pathetic" and "lost" for repeating the cycle of keeping the GM who hired a failed coach. The discussion also heats up with callers pitching head coach replacements like Jon Gruden and Lane Kiffin, forcing BT and Sal to debate if a college coach is the right fit and if Schoen's mere presence will severely dilute the candidate talent pool. They conclude that by keeping Schoen, the Giants are essentially "accepting losing."
