Plus, we look at Deonte Banks' stellar day on the boundary, break down the intense 14-man wide receiver battle following the arrivals of OBJ and JuJu, and check in on the kicker competition.

NY Giants FINALLY Bring Back Odell Beckham Jr | Joe Schoen Extension + More 

It's safe to say Heifetz's Giants had a bad week. Jaxson Dart (AKA J6) is hanging out with Donald Trump, Joe Schoen's cuck chair isn't going anywhere, and there's no good injury news for Malik Nabers. But the guys couldn't spend the entire show laughing at the Giants. They also go over the most breakable NFL records and some listener emails on YouTube voice, more nut kicks, Charley Pride, and the 1897 Cleveland Spiders.

Josh Tupou gives the Giants another big veteran body inside, but the sacrifice is clear: this still may not be enough to fix a defensive line room that already needed help. Eddie Goldman's workout and Tupou's signing show the Giants know the problem is real, but the question is whether these moves are actual answers or just late-May patchwork.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants do enough by signing Josh Tupou? Not yet — Tupou helps the depth chart, but Drew and Rob argue this move feels more like a band-aid than a real fix unless the Giants find another meaningful defensive line answer.Drew and Rob open with the Giants' continued search for interior defensive line help after working out veteran Eddie Goldman and signing Josh Tupou. Goldman is framed as an older but potentially fresher veteran because of the time he missed earlier in his career, while Tupou is treated as a massive run-stopping body who gives the Giants familiarity and size, but not necessarily a full solution. The core debate is simple: credit the Giants for finally reacting to a roster hole, but do not pretend a depth signing fixes the whole room.The Tupou discussion turns into the biggest football argument of the episode. Drew walks through Tupou's size, Bengals background, Ravens connection, limited recent production, and the obvious question of whether a player with six games over the last two seasons can be sold as a real answer. The hosts land in a practical middle ground: the signing is better than doing nothing, but Giants fans should not treat it like the defensive line problem is solved.Is this actual roster improvement, or just the best available move in late May?The show also covers Francis Mauigoa officially signing his rookie deal, leaving Arvell Reese as the last Giants rookie still unsigned. The hosts are not overly worried about Reese because rookie contracts are largely slotted, but they do spend time on why Mauigoa's edge and attitude make him an interesting fit at guard once padded practices begin.Should Giants fans care that Arvell Reese is still unsigned, or is this just normal rookie-contract timing?Later, Drew and Rob react to Mike Florio's theory about Joe Schoen's extension and whether John Harbaugh needs Schoen around as a potential scapegoat if the season goes wrong. The hosts strongly push back on that idea, arguing that Harbaugh does not fit the profile of a coach looking for a built-in excuse, and that if Harbaugh truly wanted Schoen gone, the Giants likely would have moved on already.The episode wraps with broader Giants roster talk, front-office frustration, and some classic Goofball tangents, including the hosts reacting to chat comments, joking about old friendships, weight loss, former Giants receiver Parris Campbell retiring, and a quick side conversation on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Finally, a heated debate breaks out over whether Jalen Brunson has officially surpassed Aaron Judge as the premier athlete in the city.

The Giants are trying to be smart with Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers, and Darius Slayton, but every cautious update raises the same problem: this roster may only work if the key pieces are actually available. Joe Schoen's multi-year extension adds another layer, because now the Giants are betting that better coaching and better health can finally make his roster look different.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Are the Giants being smart with injury management, or are they already exposing a September problem? The answer is probably both: it is only May, but Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers, and the offensive line are too important to ignore when the updates start piling up.Drew and Rob opened the show with the Joe Schoen extension after the Giants announced a multi-year deal for their general manager. Drew questioned the timing and the message after several rough years, player relationship concerns, and the Dexter Lawrence fallout, while Rob pushed back on how much of Schoen's evaluation has to be tied to the coaching staff he had in place before John Harbaugh arrived. The debate came down to whether this season finally separates Schoen's roster decisions from Brian Daboll's coaching issues, or whether the Giants just rewarded a front office that still has not won enough.The main injury conversation centered on Andrew Thomas. John Harbaugh said the Giants are working Thomas back and managing his reps, while Thomas said the goal is being ready for September. Drew's concern was not that a veteran is being managed in OTAs; it is that Thomas has an injury history and the entire offensive line changes if he is not right. Rob pushed the “it is May” side of the argument, but both agreed that Marcus Mbow getting left tackle reps matters because the Giants need a real answer if Thomas misses time again.Malik Nabers became the next big concern after Harbaugh described his ACL recovery as a tough, grinding process and said the Giants will be ready whether he is back right away or not. Drew and Rob debated the mental side of a first major injury, how much training camp or preseason work Nabers should get, and why rushing him back would be a bad gamble even if everyone wants him ready for Week 1. Darius Slayton's sports hernia surgery, Jalin Hyatt leaving practice early, Roy Robertson-Harris leaving early, and several veterans sitting out added to the larger question of whether the Giants are simply being cautious or already dealing with a real availability issue.The episode also touched on Andrew Thomas' comments about Dexter Lawrence moving on, Ar'Darius Washington getting slot work with Dru Phillips out, Harbaugh calling OTAs a “fast rehearsal,” the rookies needing to “hit the gas,” and John Mara being spotted at practice. The tone of the show stayed right where Giants fans are right now: hopeful because the coaching staff feels more serious, but not ready to trust anything until the wins and health actually show up.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The final hour opens with the Giants extending GM Joe Schoen, as Chris Russell brings in A-MAC for a fan perspective on the move, including discussion of how the front office direction and potential connections involving Jim Harbaugh could influence the organization's long-term outlook. The conversation then shifts to the NFL quarterback landscape, breaking down Matthew Stafford's extension with the Rams through 2027–28 and what that stability means for rookie QB Ty Simpson's development and progression within the organization. The hour closes with news out of Chicago, where the Bears reportedly say all Chicago stadium options have been exhausted, signaling a clear pivot toward exploring new stadium locations and future franchise direction outside the city.

Joe Schoen receives a contract extension, prompting Chris “The Rooster” Russell to bring in A-MAC, a resident Giants fan, to assess the move and what it signals about the franchise's direction. The conversation explores how Schoen's continued tenure could shape the organization's relationship with head coach Jim Harbaugh, including whether that dynamic influences long-term roster construction, stability, and expectations in New York. From there, the discussion broadens to the wider NFC East landscape, examining how the extension impacts the competitive balance within the division and what it could mean for the future trajectory of the Washington Commanders as they continue building under their current regime.

Anthony recaps all the breaking news, notes, and explosive highlights from Day 2 of the Giants' 2026 OTA practices. We break down Calvin Austin III's eventful afternoon where he carved up the secondary on deep overs, screens, and slants, and why Isaiah Likely just secured the play of the spring with a ridiculous one-handed leaping grab. We also check in on Jaxson Dart's quick decision-making against Dennard Wilson's exotic blitz packages and why sophomore edge rusher Abdul Carter is still a nightmare to block.

Joe Schoen's quiet John Ritcher hire gives the Giants a badly needed college scouting layer, but it also puts more attention on whether this front office can finally turn mid-round picks into real starters. Drew and Rob debate whether this is a real scouting fix or just a smart behind-the-scenes add that still has to prove itself.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate. It helps more Giants fans find the show and keeps the Goofball community growing.The Big Question: Did Joe Schoen just fix a Giants scouting blind spot? The John Ritcher hire gives the Giants another respected college scouting voice, but the real answer depends on whether New York starts finding more reliable value after Round 2.Can one hire fix years of mid-round frustration?The biggest debate starts with the Giants bringing in John Ritcher from Houston to take over a college scouting role that had been vacant for years. Drew and Rob break down why the move makes sense, why the Dolphins/Texans/Giants connection matters, and why this should not automatically be framed as proof that Joe Schoen is either completely safe or secretly on the way out. The stronger point is simpler: the Giants needed another serious scouting voice, and Ritcher's background makes him a logical addition.The conversation turns into a bigger draft-room argument. The Giants have had first-round hits and misses like most teams, but the harder problem has been finding enough reliable contributors in the middle and late rounds. Drew and Rob point to how rare real Day 3 hits have felt for this team, with Darius Slayton standing out mostly because there have not been enough examples like him. That is where Ritcher's value would actually show up if this move works.Is Malik Nabers ready enough, or does patience matter more?The show then shifts to Jordan Raanan's report that the Giants remain hopeful Malik Nabers can be ready for Week 1 against the Cowboys. Drew and Rob both land in the same practical place: optimism is good, but forcing Nabers back too quickly would be a mistake. If he misses a game or two, that is a lot easier to live with than risking the long-term health of the most important piece in the Giants' passing game.From there, the guys react to the report that the Giants were almost the NFL's backup choice for the Seahawks opener. They appreciate the respect, but nobody is exactly begging to open the season against the defending champs. That rolls into John Harbaugh's Miami of Ohio commencement speech, where his comments about resilience, toughness, and moving forward after bad news sounded pretty clearly connected to his own exit from Baltimore and new chapter with the Giants.The final major topic is Eli Manning explaining why he did not want to play for the Chargers. Drew and Rob go through the dinner story, the reported friction between coach, GM, and ownership, and why Eli's read on the Chargers' commitment to winning looks a lot more reasonable now than it did to people crushing him back in 2004. The episode closes with some Giants history, Ernie Accorsi irony, basketball talk, and the usual Goofball nonsense.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
