Send us a textIn this in-depth episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, hosts Drew and Rob dive into the full offensive roster of the New York Giants following the 2025 NFL Draft and a busy offseason of free agency. From revamped quarterback depth to an infusion of talent at wide receiver and tight end, the Giants offense has undergone a major overhaul that fans won't want to miss. This complete breakdown covers every offensive position group, examining which players are likely to make the 53-man roster, where key battles are brewing, and who might emerge as breakout stars in 2025.Starting with the quarterback room, the Giants have added veteran leadership and developmental upside. Russell Wilson leads the pack, with Jameis Winston providing experienced backup support, while Jaxson Dart and Tommy DeVito give the team developmental youth and preseason intrigue. It's a four-man group that offers a compelling mix of proven production and raw potential.At running back, the competition is just as intense. Rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. brings a versatile skill set and explosiveness, while veteran Devin Singletary figures to be the early favorite for lead duties. Behind them, Cam Skattebo, Eric Gray, and Dante Miller round out a crowded backfield with a mix of power, agility, and special teams upside. The Giants are clearly aiming for depth and flexibility in a position that has seen high turnover in recent seasons.The wide receiver group might be the most exciting position on offense, anchored by first-round pick Malik Nabers. Nabers is expected to be a game-changer for the NY Giants, giving them the kind of WR1 threat they've lacked in years. He joins a solid cast including Wan'Dale Robinson, deep threat Darius Slayton, second-year speedster Jalin Hyatt, and experienced role players like Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Zach Pascal. Special teams contributors Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Montrell Washington, along with big-bodied receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton, add further depth and intrigue to the competition.Tight end is another spot that has quietly gotten stronger. Returning starter Daniel Bellinger now shares the room with rookie athletic freak Theo Johnson, veteran blocker Chris Manhertz, Greg Dulcich—who brings pass-catching upside—and developmental prospect Thomas Fidone II. Whether it's in two-TE sets or in red zone formations, the Giants have more options than ever to create mismatches.On the offensive line, left tackle Andrew Thomas continues to be the cornerstone, now joined by Jermaine Eluemunor and James Hudson III, who bring experience and versatility. Rookie Stone Forsythe and swing lineman Joshua Ezeudu round out a deep tackle group. Inside, the guard spots have been upgraded with the additions of John Runyan and Greg Van Roten, while Aaron Stinnie, Evan Neal (transitioning inside), Marcus Mbow, and Jake Kubas provide a mix of veteran presence and youthful promise. At center, John Michael Schmitz is locked in as the starter with Austin Schlottman, Jimmy Morrissey, and Bryan Hudson offering depth and competition behind him.This full offensive breakdown gives New York Giants fans the clearest look yet at what the team is building for the 2025 season.

Send us a textDrew and Rob break down all the latest New York Giants news, including draft prospects, quarterback options, and the recent NFLPA report card that ranked the franchise's facilities and team culture. They start with a deep dive into the Giants' draft strategy, discussing potential targets in the upcoming draft. The “Would You Rather?” segment puts the spotlight on some of the most intriguing college prospects, including two-way star Travis Hunter, pass rushers like Abdul Carter, and standout quarterback options like Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. With multiple positions of need, the Giants have several directions they could go on draft night.  Quarterback remains the hottest topic, and rumors suggest that Matthew Stafford is the team's top priority at the position. ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported that the Giants are keeping a close eye on Stafford's situation with the Rams before making any major moves. But is Stafford the right answer for New York? The hosts discuss alternative QB options in another “Would You Rather?” segment, comparing names like Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and even current Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. Could a young quarterback like Jaxson Dart or Cam Ward be a better long-term investment, or does New York need a veteran presence to steady the ship?  The conversation then shifts to the Giants' NFLPA player report card, which revealed some concerning trends. After ranking eighth overall last year, the Giants dropped significantly in key areas. Ownership, led by John Mara, saw its grade drop from a B+ to a C+, with players ranking the team 22nd out of 32 in terms of commitment to facilities and fostering a winning culture. The treatment of families, locker room quality, and nutrition programs also received disappointing marks. However, there were bright spots, as the strength and conditioning coaches earned an A-, and Brian Daboll still has the support of most players despite some concerns about his receptiveness to feedback.  On the injury front, there's good news for Giants fans. Dexter Lawrence was seen competing at the Pro Bowl and appears to be in good shape. Andrew Thomas is also progressing well, with no boot on his foot and reports that he's been active in the weight room. John Michael Schmitz, Joshua Ezeudu, and other offensive linemen have been putting in work during the offseason, showing dedication to improving for next year.  The show wraps up with a look at Howard Cross III, a potential Giants draft target and the son of former Giants legend Howard Cross. The Notre Dame defensive lineman has deep ties to the franchise and has expressed his desire to follow in his father's footsteps. Cross embraces his underdog mentality, comparing himself to Batman—relying on film study, skill, and intelligence rather than brute strength. He believes his speed and versatility could complement a dominant force like Dexter Lawrence if given the chance to suit up in blue.  With so many moving pieces this offseason, the Giants have crucial decisions to make. From potential QB acquisitions to draft-day targets, every move will shape the franchise's future.

Manning expressed that his heart remains with the team he played for over 16 years, sparking excitement about what his involvement could mean for the franchise's future.

With Pierce's strong ties to the Giants as a former player and his growing resume as a coach, including a stint as the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach in 2024, they analyze how his leadership and experience might elevate the Giants' defense.  Another highlight of the episode is a look at a hypothetical "team of ex-Giants," compiled by Dan Benton of GiantsWire. This roster features players who once wore Giants blue, including Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley, Leonard Williams, and Xavier McKinney. The exercise serves as a bittersweet reminder of the talent the Giants have let go over the years, while also spotlighting positions where the team continues to struggle in finding long-term solutions.  The episode also features an in-depth review of the Giants' offensive line in 2024, detailing the performances of key players such as Andrew Thomas, John Michael Schmitz, and Evan Neal. Despite flashes of promise from some linemen, injuries and inconsistent play plagued the unit throughout the season. The hosts delve into the PFF grades, penalties, and sacks allowed by each player, examining how the line's struggles contributed to the Giants' broader issues on offense.  With engaging discussions, thought-provoking insights, and the latest Giants news and rumors, this episode is a must-watch for fans eager to stay informed on all aspects of the team. From Eli's ownership dreams to the search for defensive leadership and the offensive line's challenges, Drew and Rob leave no stone unturned in their analysis of the Giants' 2024 season and future.#giants #nygiants #nflSupport the showAll Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & TwitchSponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsInterested in starting a podcast.

Send us a Text Message.In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive deep into the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season. The hosts kick things off with a crucial injury update on John Michael Schmitz, whose ankle was rolled on during the recent game against the Jets. Fortunately, scans came back clear, providing a sigh of relief for Giants fans. Schmitz, who battled injuries throughout last season and has been dealing with a shoulder issue in training camp, is expected to be ready for the season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. Despite the scare, Schmitz remains optimistic about his condition, stating he felt fine after the incident and was merely following precautionary measures.The discussion then shifts to another key player, Evan Neal, who also made his return to the field against the Jets. This game marked Neal's first action since his previous season ended due to an ankle injury. Neal shares his excitement about being back on the field, noting the fun he had playing alongside his teammates. Although Neal gave up a sack on a bad play, he remains positive about his overall performance, citing the importance of getting back into the rhythm of the game after a long hiatus. Clear scans have confirmed that Neal is ready to go, and he too is expected to start against the Vikings.Drew and Rob also touch on the Giants' recent roster moves, highlighting the signings of several new players. Defensive lineman Kyler Baugh, a standout at Minnesota with impressive strength, joins the Giants' ranks. Cornerback Breon Borders, a journeyman with experience across 13 different teams, brings depth and versatility to the secondary. Safety Clayton Isbell, a young and promising talent from Coastal Carolina, and wide receiver John Jiles, known for his athleticism, are also new additions. The running back position sees some changes as well, with Joshua Kelley, previously a main backup for the Chargers, now donning the Giants' blue. Another new face is Lorenzo Lingard, a promising UDFA from Akron who had an impressive college career. Additionally, the Giants bolster their linebacker corps with Trey Kizer, a strong special teams player from South Alabama.Unfortunately, not all roster news is positive, as the Giants had to waive/injure some players. Defensive tackle Timmy Horn suffered a devastating Achilles injury, cutting his season short before it even began. Jonathan Sutherland, a hybrid linebacker/safety, also faced the injury bug, continuing his unlucky streak after a previous injury settlement with the Seahawks.Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob emphasize the importance of health and depth for the Giants as they aim to be competitive in the NFC East this season.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of "2 Giant Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates from the Giants' injury report as the preseason intensifies. Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a scare during training camp when he went down untouched after muffing a kickoff. Initially feared to be a season-ending injury, it's been confirmed that Tracy Jr. is dealing with an ankle sprain, and he's expected to be sidelined until late August or early September.Dante "Turbo" Miller's availability for the upcoming game against the Texans is uncertain due to a hamstring issue that limited him in practice on Tuesday. Malik Nabers is also facing a low ankle sprain but remains optimistic about his readiness for Week 1. He hasn't ruled out playing in the preseason finale against the Jets, but the hosts ponder whether missing time in camp could affect his start to the season. They even draw parallels to Odell Beckham Jr.'s explosive rookie year after returning from injury.Lawrence Cager is dealing with a groin injury, and head coach Brian Daboll has indicated that Cager will be out for a while, listing him as week to week. Jon Runyan Jr. also got banged up during Monday's practice, hurting his shoulder. While the injury doesn't appear serious, the Giants are taking precautions by likely keeping him out for a bit, prioritizing his health for the regular season.On a brighter note, Evan Neal and John Michael Schmitz are back in team drills and seem to be on track for Saturday's game. Andru Phillips missed practice with an ankle injury, but Daboll assured it's nothing major. Gervarrius Owens, however, missed Sunday's practice due to a knee injury, and while the severity remains unknown, a long absence could jeopardize his spot on the roster.Lastly, Drew and Rob discuss the implications of Vikings QB JJ McCarthy's season-ending surgery on the torn meniscus, making it official that he won't be facing the Giants this season. The big question now is whether Sam Darnold will step up as the starting quarterback for the Vikings or if they might look to bring in a veteran like Ryan Tannehill as a stopgap solution.#giants #nygiants #giants100Support the Show.All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & TwitchSponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsInterested in starting a podcast.

Send us a Text Message.Drew Lock is confident he'll be ready for the season opener, assuring everyone there's "no worry" about his readiness for Week 1. Though he's already back to throwing, he admits he's not launching 60- or 70-yard passes yet. If healthy, Lock is expected to be the QB2, primarily due to his contract, but it remains to be seen whether Tommy DeVito will also stay on the roster.Lock also addressed the boos he received when he threw an interception and Tommy DeVito replaced him during a game. He acknowledged the crowd's reaction, attributing it to his mistake and praising DeVito's performance last season. Lock's attitude is fitting for New York—taking responsibility and moving forward, recognizing that fans can overreact during preseason, especially with new players.In other news, Tyree Jackson, a converted tight end who played quarterback at Buffalo, is being listed as the emergency QB for the Giants in their game against the Texans. Though unlikely to make the final roster, Jackson's role highlights the experimental nature of preseason, where teams explore different options before the regular season begins.Daniel Jones is expected to start against the Texans in what will be his first game action since his ACL injury. While his performance will undoubtedly be scrutinized, it's important to remember that this is just a preseason game, and Week 1 will provide a clearer picture of what lies ahead.Malik Nabers has suffered a left ankle sprain, though a fracture was avoided. He's listed as day-to-day, with the coaching staff planning to ease him back into practice as he recovers.Starting cornerback Cor'Dale Flott is dealing with a quad injury and will miss the upcoming week, opening the door for players like Nick McCloud to compete for his spot. Meanwhile, Dyontae Johnson, who shined during the preseason win against the Lions with a sack and two tackles for loss, is now week-to-week with a sprained ankle, which could impact his chances of making the roster.Evan Neal and John Michael Schmitz are back in practice, with Neal expressing his willingness to embrace any role the team has for him, including as a backup or even a guard. Schmitz, initially limited to individual drills, is also expected to play against the Texans, as live game reps are crucial for the starting offensive line to build familiarity.In roster moves, the Giants have signed RB Lorenzo Lingard and waived Jacob Saylors. Lingard, a UDFA out of Akron, faces stiff competition in a crowded backfield and is unlikely to make the roster. The Giants also signed LB K.J. Cloyd while waiving CB Kaleb Hayes. Cloyd, who was originally signed by the Vikings, might find a spot on the practice squad, especially with the recent injuries at linebacker.The Giants' Madden 25 ratings werFarrell Sports BusinessInterviews with unicorns from sports business and their career pathsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.All Episodes are shot LIVE with fan interactions on Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, & TwitchSponsor the show at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsInterested in starting a podcast.

Send us a Text Message.During the New York Giants' training camp on Friday, July 26, key events and observations were highlighted by John Schmeelk from Giants.com. The competition between Deonte Banks and Malik Nabers continued, with both players having their moments of success. Rookie Dante “Turbo” Miller impressed by catching two touchdowns. Daniel Jones showcased his skill with a well-placed pass to Jalin Hyatt, avoiding a big hit from Bobby Okereke, while Drew Lock threw a deep ball to Bryce Ford-Wheaton. Kayvon Thibodeaux stood out with two potential sacks, including a strip fumble on Jones. Boogie Basham batted down a pass, and DJ Davidson made a notable run stop. In a two-minute drill, the offense scored against the defense in just three plays, including a deep sideline throw to Nabers, a pass to Hyatt, and a run by Jones. The second and third-team defenses won their two-minute drill battles. Jermain Eluemunor, recovering from bruised ribs, participated in team drills, sharing time with Josh Ezeudu at right tackle.On Sunday, July 28, Theo Johnson was taken off the PUP list after passing his physical, following a hip injury. The Giants released quarterback Nathan Rourke, known as “Air Canada,” who is likely to return to the CFL after a brief stint in the NFL.The Giants also signed cornerback Breon Borders, a 29-year-old undrafted player out of Duke. On Sunday, July 28, the Giants shifted their focus to deep passes after spending much of camp on red zone drills. Dane Belton, Jason Pinnock, Darrian Beavers, and Cor'Dale Flott made notable plays to prevent completions, while rookie Dru Phillips nearly intercepted a pass for a potential pick-six. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, Jordan Phillips, Tomon Fox, Movie Oghoufo, Matthew Adams, and Benton Whitley applied consistent pressure throughout the day. Daniel Jones had a rough start but improved towards the end, completing significant throws to Nabers and Hyatt. Drew Lock also made some impressive throws to WR Isaiah McKenzie and TE Tyree Jackson.The first day of padded practice on Monday, July 29, saw Matthew Adams arrive fully geared up, eager for the full-contact session. Before the padded drills, position groups reviewed safety protocols. In the one-on-one battles between offensive and defensive linemen, the O-line held its ground despite a drill that typically favors the defense. John Michael Schmitz was held out due to a shoulder issue, and Dexter Lawrence was absent due to illness. The highlight of these drills was the matchup between Brian Burns and Andrew Thomas. Aaron Stinnie stood out, winning all three of his battles. Elijah “Baby Bison” Chatman and Joshua Miles each won two battles, with Miles defeating Brian Burns once.
