Tiki Barber makes his boldest playoff cuts yet, eliminating the Chiefs, Cowboys and Giants from the 2026 postseason picture. He explains why Kansas City's offense and defense leave him skeptical, why Dallas still has major questions, and why the Giants could improve dramatically under John Harbaugh while still finishing around .500. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. Plus, Cam Skattebo reveals he entered the NFL believing a major injury could make him walk away from football, raising questions about how close his gruesome ankle injury came to ending his career. The hour also hits the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard controversy, the Yankees' postseason rotation possibilities, and a Cinco ranking of the greatest NBA jerseys.
Cam Schlittler's historic road dominance creates a fascinating October decision for the Yankees. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether Schlittler should start Games 1 and 5 of a playoff series or whether the Yankees should exploit his road success in a pivotal Game 3 while trusting Gerrit Cole and Max Fried elsewhere. They also defend Spencer Jones against calls for Trent Grisham to get more postseason playing time. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. They question why Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall were left off the Jets' captain list, identify Malachi Fields and Deonte Banks as potential Giants X-factors, and explain how John Harbaugh could change the Giants' late-game decision-making. Plus, the Clippers' massive punishment sparks a hypothetical debate about what similar NBA scrutiny could mean for the Knicks.
John Harbaugh's impact on the Giants is already impossible to ignore. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they react to Isaiah Likely describing a dramatically different training camp and debate whether Harbaugh's professionalism, structure and demanding approach are being underrated before the season even begins. The Yankees also get a major boost from the Mets taking two of three from Tampa Bay, keeping the AL East race within reach. Shaun and Tiki break down the Yankees' path to the division, Austin Wells' resurgence, Cam Littler's performance and the growing belief that Aaron Judge could soon return to the lineup.
John Harbaugh has completely changed the feel around the Giants, and Isaiah Likely's revealing comments about training camp have Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber wondering whether everyone is actually underrating his impact. Likely describes Harbaugh's demanding, football-first approach as normal compared with what Giants players experienced in the past. Shaun and Tiki explain why Harbaugh's experience, structure and proven methods could make an immediate difference, while pushing back on direct comparisons to Brian Daboll. With players embracing the tougher environment and a new sense of professionalism surrounding the team, optimism is building over what this culture shift could mean once the Giants finally take the field.
Cam Schlittler's incredible road numbers force the Yankees into a fascinating October rotation debate. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash weigh whether Schlittler should get Games 1 and 5 of a playoff series or whether his dominance away from Yankee Stadium makes him the perfect choice for a pivotal Game 3 while Gerrit Cole and Max Fried handle the other starts. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. They also push back on the idea that the Yankees lack urgency, debate whether struggling veterans are being given too much leeway, and begin examining how John Harbaugh's decision-making could make the Giants look very different this season.

The Giants can keep improving the roster before Week 1, but every late addition raises a tougher question: why is Joe Schoen still searching after final cuts, especially on the defensive line? That same uncertainty runs through Malik Nabers' return, OBJ's comeback and a cornerback room already talking like one of the NFL's best.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate. Is Joe Schoen simply finishing the Giants roster, or is New York still trying to fix weaknesses that should have been settled before September? The answer is probably some of both, but defensive tackle remains the clearest position where the Giants are still actively looking for another answer.Schoen said there are "a few players out there that we are targeting or looking at" and said the Giants will probably add another defensive lineman. Drew and Rob debate what that says about a group built around D.J. Reader, Shelby Harris, C.J. Okoye and Darius Alexander after New York allowed 145.3 rushing yards per game in 2025.How much of the 53-man roster is really fixed? Schoen called the practice squad "truly an extension of the active roster," while John Harbaugh said Braxton Berrios will be treated like a 53-man player and is expected to return punts. The episode also gets into the Giants' two-quarterback strategy and the newest practice-squad additions.Malik Nabers says he feels good, but he still has boxes to check before committing to Dallas. The debate becomes whether medical clearance is enough if Nabers does not yet completely trust his knee for four quarters of NFL football.Greg Newsome II then makes the biggest boast of the night by calling the Giants the best cornerback room in football. Drew and Rob put that claim against the actual depth of Newsome, Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks and Dru Phillips — and the Week 1 test waiting from CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.Odell Beckham Jr. beat the odds, made the roster and got No. 13 back, but Harbaugh's challenge is the one that matters now: what does OBJ do with the opportunity? The show closes with Jaxson Dart saying he feels in command of the offense, Week 1 health updates, Giants throwback uniform dates and the possibility of Aaron Donald facing New York in Week 2.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Matt explains the key points for each team that will decide how the standings play out. As for the latest NFL news, Aaron Donald is back with the Rams!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Robert Saleh is praising his former Jets players ahead of Week One, but Shaun Morash sees the same problem that bothered him during Saleh's time in New York: he may simply be too nice to have the killer instinct an NFL head coach needs. Tiki Barber agrees the Jets are the better team on paper and says there should be no excuses against Tennessee. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. The Giants also take center stage as Joe Schoen raises expectations for John Harbaugh's first season, Jaxson Dart enters a crucial second year, and questions remain about Malik Nabers, the offensive line, defensive tackle and a crowded running back room. Plus, Shaun declares the Yankees' matchup with the Angels a must-win as their division hopes hang in the balance.
Malik Nabers' Week 1 status is suddenly a major Giants concern. Tiki Barber has consistently doubted that Nabers will be ready for the Cowboys opener, and he explains why the receiver may be physically progressing but still doesn't fully trust his repaired knee. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they debate whether Nabers should accept a limited role or wait until he feels capable of playing a full game. They also examine how the Giants can survive without their top receiver, why John Harbaugh's physical approach could give them an early edge over Dallas, and how Odell Beckham Jr. earned his roster spot while providing needed leadership to a young receiving room.
The Jets may have three first-round picks, but that does not guarantee they can land their quarterback of the future. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and they examine how several quarterback-needy teams could finish below the Jets and block any attempt to move up in the 2027 NFL Draft. Tiki believes the class could offer enough quality options, while Shaun warns that the projected quarterback depth could shrink dramatically by draft time. The hour also features Tiki's predictions for every NFL division's last-place finisher, optimism surrounding the Giants under John Harbaugh, and concerns about Jaxson Dart's health and throwing motion. Plus, the Giants' expanded throwback uniform schedule sparks speculation that the classic look could eventually become permanent.
The Giants' pass rush could be the key to beating Dallas. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber zero in on the Cowboys' uncertainty at right tackle and argue that Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and the Giants' defensive front must turn that weakness into sacks and constant pressure on Dak Prescott. With questions in the secondary, getting home quickly could determine whether the Giants can control the opener. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they also examine Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the Giants, why his leadership could matter as much as his production, and how a physical, run-first identity could give John Harbaugh's team the foundation it needs to become a winner.
Robert Saleh is showering his former Jets players with praise before facing them in Week One, and Shaun Morash believes it exposes the same flaw that followed Saleh in New York: he may be too nice to have the killer instinct a head coach needs. Tiki Barber says the Jets are the better team on paper and should beat Tennessee, making a loss to their former coach especially difficult to swallow. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber. The Giants conversation turns to John Harbaugh establishing a tougher identity, Joe Schoen raising expectations and the importance of building the roster with Harbaugh's type of players. Plus, Shaun's bizarre Long Island bug invasion sparks callers to share their own storm-related encounters.
The Giants have Tiki Barber feeling far more optimistic about what John Harbaugh can unlock this season. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki, as they examine a deeper roster, improved coaching and whether the Giants can finally turn last year's crushing close losses into wins. Tiki also addresses concerns about Jaxson Dart's unusual throwing motion and physical playing style, arguing that Dart has not shown himself to be concussion-prone despite taking some massive hits. The conversation circles back to the Jets' quarterback future and the danger of assuming three first-round picks guarantee access to a top 2027 prospect. Plus, Shaun celebrates the return of school and the structure that comes with it.
The Giants want to reestablish their toughness against Dallas, and Tiki Barber believes John Harbaugh has built a team capable of doing exactly that. Tiki and Shaun Morash explain why the Giants' physical training camp, commitment to the run game and desire to impose their will could give them an advantage against the Cowboys in Week 1. Tiki also compares Harbaugh's demanding approach to playing for Tom Coughlin and explains why hard coaching can make players better. The conversation returns to Malik Nabers, with Tiki detailing the mental challenge of trusting a surgically repaired knee and why Nabers may need more successful practice reps before he truly feels ready to play without hesitation.
Odell Beckham Jr. didn't make the Giants on reputation alone. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash explain why Beckham earned his roster spot with a strong camp, while his experience and leadership could become even more valuable if Malik Nabers isn't ready for Week 1. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they turn toward the Giants' offensive identity. Tiki believes John Harbaugh is building a physical, run-heavy team capable of controlling games while Jaxson Dart and the passing attack develop. Even with Nabers potentially limited or unavailable against Dallas, Tiki says the Giants can lean on their ground game and toughness rather than forcing the offense to become a finished product immediately.

The New York Giants enter the 2026/27 season with hope as their young QB gets a well-respected head coach in John Harbaugh. The Giants should be an improved team from last season, but how much so? I break down the roster, schedule, and lay out the potential ways this season can go.Thank you all for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode!

Gene looks at the lingering roster questions as we inch closer & closer to week 1 vs Houston. Plus we have a halftime show update & Ernie Clement news.
The Jets' quarterback search could take a massive turn if a proven star becomes available. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash run through the NFL's biggest names and debate which quarterbacks could realistically land in New York. Joe Burrow has a slim but believable path, Jalen Hurts looks like an intriguing fit, and C.J. Stroud could become fascinating if Houston takes a major step backward. They also explain why Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford and other veteran options may not be worth sacrificing the Jets' three first-round picks. The conversation expands into whether Mike Tomlin could someday make the Jets more attractive, plus the pressure surrounding the Giants as John Harbaugh prepares to coach games that count. The Yankees also enter the spotlight as Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone face the only test that will truly define their season: October.
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber and declares the Yankees have no excuse not to reach the World Series, arguing their payroll and the state of the American League put major pressure on Aaron Boone and the organization. Russo also unloads on the Mets for letting Pete Alonso leave, putting more blame on Steve Cohen than David Stearns and raising concerns about the clubhouse dynamic involving Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Plus, Mad Dog pumps the brakes on the Jaxson Dart hype while predicting the Giants will be better under John Harbaugh, and reflects on WFAN joining SiriusXM and what he still misses about local New York sports radio.
The Yankees' season comes down to one brutal standard: reach the World Series or face another disaster. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone deserve more credit for navigating injuries and roster issues, but Evan makes clear that none of it will matter if October ends early. The postseason will ultimately decide how every move, lineup decision and deadline addition is remembered. The final stretch also features Shaun Morash's best parts of September, including John Harbaugh finally coaching meaningful Giants games and Aaron Judge nearing a return. Plus, Evan refuses to entertain Nets fans comparing Brooklyn's failed superteam to the champion Knicks, while his Mets scoreless-game streak faces a major test once football Sundays arrive.

Jared and Matt wrap up the 2026 NFL and college football preview season by breaking down the AFC North, NFC North, and the SEC conference. Plus, it's time for the first Six-Pack of the year — six weekly college football picks against the spread. We start in the AFC North, a division turned upside down this offseason. Three of the four teams enter with new head coaches — Jesse Minter in Baltimore after John Harbaugh's departure to the Giants, Mike McCarthy back home in Pittsburgh, and Todd Monken taking over in Cleveland after Kevin Stefanski left for Atlanta. On top of that, the Browns sent shockwaves through the league by trading superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Rams. We break down how the division shakes out amid all the change. From there we shift to the NFC North, where the Bears look to defend their surprise division title after a wild, comeback-fueled 11-6 season under first-year head coach Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. The Lions enter as the betting favorites once again after a disappointing fall from grace, while the Packers deal with uncertainty up front as star pass rusher Micah Parsons starts the year on the PUP list. We break down all four teams in what's shaping up to be one of the league's most competitive divisions. We close out the football previews with the SEC. Georgia enters as the back-to-back defending conference champion behind quarterback Gunner Stockton, while Texas, Alabama, and a Lane Kiffin-led LSU squad round out the league's top tier of national title contenders. Then it's time for our first Six-Pack of the season:
The Giants got through final cuts with depth at running back, tight end and the secondary, but the cost may be leaving some of their biggest questions unresolved. Center remains the clearest concern, while defensive-line and EDGE depth still make this roster feel unfinished.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Is the Giants' 53-man roster actually finished? Not if they are still looking for a potential challenger to John Michael Schmitz and were willing to explore another meaningful defensive-line addition after cutdown.Drew and Rob go position by position through the initial 53, the practice squad and the players who landed elsewhere. The offense kept Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston on the active roster with Jake Haener returning to the practice squad, while Najee Harris, Devin Singletary, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. all survived at running back. Add Patrick Ricard and four tight ends, and John Harbaugh's preference for heavier offensive personnel is easy to see.But did the Giants protect too much depth in some places while leaving questions elsewhere? At wide receiver, Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham Jr. made the 53, while Braxton Berrios, Jalin Hyatt and Dalen Cambre returned on the practice squad. Hyatt clearing waivers and returning became one of the more revealing parts of the cutdown process.The offensive line creates the biggest concern. John Michael Schmitz remains the starter, Bryan Hudson made the roster and Lucas Patrick was released, yet New York was still reported to be looking for someone capable of challenging Schmitz. Evan Neal was also released, ending the former No. 7 overall pick's Giants tenure.On defense, C.J. Okoye made the roster after being acquired from Baltimore, but the Giants also reportedly showed interest in Gervon Dexter before Atlanta completed a trade for him. Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux give the Giants a strong top three on the edge, but the depth behind them remains worth watching.The final question is the waiver wire. New York had the No. 5 waiver priority and made zero claims. If the Giants still wanted help at center or defensive tackle, was standing pat confidence in the roster—or a missed opportunity before Week 1?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.comSend us Fan MailSupport the show

We're breaking down the NFC East in this episode of The Prophet Playoff Theory — We start with the Dallas Cowboys, who completely overhauled the defensive side of the ball after major struggles last season. Can all these new pieces finally give Dallas the defense it needs to complement what was one of the NFL's best offenses?Then we head to New York, where John Harbaugh takes over as head coach. The Giants have plenty of optimism surrounding the new regime, but the Prophets have questions about Matt Nagy running the offense and what that means for Jaxson Dart's development. Can Harbaugh get the Giants back into playoff contention immediately?The Philadelphia Eagles are chasing a third straight NFC East division title. But with the A.J. Brown traded and changes around the offense, we have to ask: does losing Brown actually make this offense better, or is Philadelphia taking a major step backward?And finally, the Washington Commanders. Kev isn't exactly a believer — but out of respect for Jayden Daniels, the Prophets are giving Washington somewhere in the 7-to-9 win range. But could this season completely go off the rails if Daniels can't stay healthy and the team doesn't take the expected step forward?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/preach-kev-preach-w-rashad--2977392/support.
Hour 5: John Harbaugh could learn that honeymoons don't last long in New York. Never had a nacho, mercy rule and the Yankees will get their shot at Tampa. A Mougey misstep and the Yankeed need home-field advantage.
The Giants can keep Odell Beckham Jr. and sacrifice a roster spot on a veteran who offers little special-teams value, or cut him after he just showed he can still separate and contribute as an NFL receiver. That same gain-versus-sacrifice decision runs through a roster that still has questions at quarterback, defensive tackle and the bottom of the 53.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.Should the Giants keep Odell Beckham Jr.? Based on what Drew saw against the Jets, cutting OBJ would now be the more surprising decision after Beckham caught 3 passes for 53 yards and consistently created separation.The bigger on-air concern was Jaxson Dart. If Dart starts against Dallas, he will have gone 29 days without game action. Drew questions whether the Giants became too conservative with a second-year quarterback learning a new Matt Nagy offense, particularly because Dart never played a preseason game after the full foundational install was completed.Did protecting Jaxson Dart create another risk? Drew argues that practice cannot fully recreate live game reps and worries that a slow start against Dallas could become especially costly with the Rams waiting in Week 2.The defensive line created another major concern. The Jets opened the game with a 10-play, 65-yard touchdown drive without attempting a pass, exposing the Giants' interior run defense. New York responded by trading a 2028 seventh-round pick to Baltimore for 6'6", 365-pound defensive tackle C.J. Okoye.But did the Okoye trade actually fix the problem? John Harbaugh made clear the Giants are still looking for opportunities to improve, and Drew views defensive tackle as the biggest unresolved weakness heading into the final roster decisions.Trace Ford made those decisions even more difficult with 5 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, a sack, 2 quarterback hits and 2 passes defensed. Tyrone Tracy Jr. also responded to earlier preseason mistakes with 37 yards and a touchdown on only 4 carries, while Najee Harris finally returned to game action following his Achilles rehab.Dominic Zvada officially won the kicking job after a perfect preseason. Drew also works through the remaining bubble cases involving Braxton Berrios, Zaire Barnes, Jack Kelly, Francis “Sisi” Mauigoa, Korie Black, Jake Haener, Jameis Winston and Evan Neal.The roster movement has already started. Ugo Amadi, Damon Bankston, Josiah Deguara, Leki Fotu, Isaiah Hodgins, Brenden Jaimes, Anfernee Orji and Kobe Prentice were released as the Giants began working toward the initial 53.The preseason is finished. Now the question is which performances actually earned roster spots — and where the Giants still need outside help before Dallas.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
