Podcast appearances and mentions of Kayvon Thibodeaux

The Giants suddenly have a real opening in the NFC East. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash break down a division with no dominant team, why Philadelphia and Dallas look vulnerable, and how Jameis Winston could keep the Giants firmly in the race. They also react to Kayvon Thibodeaux pretending he had just learned about Odell Beckham Jr.'s release, a performance convincing enough to fool Tiki. Plus, Najee Harris appears to be moving ahead in the Giants' backfield, Tyrone Tracy's role is shrinking, and special teams could become a major factor in how this team wins close games.

The Giants suddenly have a path to stealing the NFC East. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash look at a wide-open division, why Philadelphia and Dallas suddenly feel vulnerable, and how Jameis Winston now becomes the biggest variable in keeping the Giants in the race. They also break down the team's ugly red-zone offense, Najee Harris moving up the running back hierarchy, and Kayvon Thibodeaux fooling everyone with his reaction to Odell Beckham Jr.'s release. Then the focus shifts to October baseball, where Shaun declares the Red Sox the Yankees' new Twins after another dominant playoff showing. The guys also react to the Astros getting called out by one of their own players over empty playoff seats, Susan Waldman delivering an accidental insult to Big Mac, and the unforgettable Yankee Stadium scene after Ben Rice's grand slam.

The show leads with the Yankees beating the Red Sox behind Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice, a preview of Max Fried tonight, an MLB playoff update, and the Rangers dropping their opener to the Bruins. We hear postgame reaction from Schlittler, Rice, Sonny Gray, Austin Wells, and Anthony Volpe, alongside the Braves defeating the Phillies and the Giants releasing Odell Beckham Jr. and Kayvon Thibodeaux's "fake" reaction. Finally, Steph Curry responds to Warriors playoff doubts, Phil Simms breaks down the Giants' QB situation with Jameis Winston and JJ McCarthy ahead of the Cardinals game, and RJ Barrett reacts to the Knicks winning a title.

We recap Rami and C-Mac at the Yankees game before taking callers who want Aaron Boone to get credit and think Yankees fans are idiots. Gio notes Anthony Rizzo looking scared on the broadcast. Jerry's update features audio from Cam Schlittler, Ben Rice, and Sonny Gray alongside an MLB playoff roundup. Meanwhile, the Rangers drop their season opener to the Bruins. To wrap up, we discuss the release of Odell Beckham Jr. and Kayvon Thibodeaux's reaction to it.

Odell Beckham, Jr. was released by the Giants and there was that reaction by Kayvon Thibodeaux which caused some issues.

The New York Giants have pulled off a stunner, trading a 2027 5th-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings to acquire former first-round quarterback JJ McCarthy. With Jaxson Dart sidelined and Brian Burns suffering a season-ending torn ACL, the front office made it loud and clear that they refuse to throw in the towel on the season. Ethan and Weis break down why McCarthy is a much better scheme fit than Jameis Winston, why Winston was always meant as a short-term backup, and how quickly McCarthy could realistically see the field.Despite grinding out an ugly Week 3 victory over Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans, the performance left serious concerns on the table. The guys dive into a fiery debate over the pass rush after top draft picks Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux combined for zero sacks, zero QB hits, and just one tackle against a struggling offense. While Weis argues the secondary's inability to cover quick drops handicapped the front, Ethan is completely out of excuses for high-priced, high-draft capital rushers.Looking ahead to Week 4, the Giants prepare for a sneaky trap game against the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium. Plus, Ethan and Weis scan the rest of the league, debating which NFL head coach is on the hottest seat, reacting to horrific officiating in the Rams game, and evaluating whether Jim Harbaugh could genuinely face a mid-season exit.

After calling the Giants' 12–7 win over the Titans and reviewing the tape, Bob Papa and Carl Banks break down how New York found a way to win in tough conditions at MetLife. They discuss Jameis Winston's cautious approach, the Giants' red-zone struggles, Jevon Holland's game-sealing interception and why the pass rush wasn't always able to get home. Plus, they react to the devastating news of Brian Burns' torn ACL and what his absence means for Kayvon Thibodeaux and the rest of the Giants defense moving forward.

The Giants' defensive front has been shockingly ineffective, and Tiki Barber can't understand why a unit loaded with pass-rushing talent is near the bottom of the league at generating pressure. With Brian Burns potentially unavailable and Kayvon Thibodeaux among the players who need to produce more, Sunday against Tennessee could reveal what kind of Giants season this will become. The conversation also turns to John Harbaugh bringing longtime Baltimore assistant Jerry Rosburg onto the practice field after questionable game-management decisions. Plus, the Yankees' limited Josh Hart bobblehead giveaway creates another headache for fans after the schedule change.

Jaxson Dart's knee injury hangs over everything after the Giants were thoroughly outclassed by the Rams. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how differently the game might have looked with Dart, whether concerns about his durability are fair, and why losing the quarterback makes this Giants team nearly impossible to evaluate. The bigger on-field alarm is a pass rush that was supposed to be the strength of the defense. Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and company have produced one of the NFL's worst pressure rates through two games, leaving an already vulnerable secondary exposed. The Giants may be 1-1, but the circumstances surrounding that record have changed the conversation completely.

Jaxson Dart's knee injury completely changed the Giants' night as the Rams dominated New York and exposed just how much this offense depends on its young quarterback. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how much of the ugly loss can fairly be evaluated without Dart, while digging into Jameis Winston's struggles, the red-zone play calling and John Harbaugh's decisions in his first real wave of criticism as Giants head coach. The defensive concerns may be just as serious. The Giants' highly touted pass rush sits near the bottom of the NFL in pressure rate despite major expectations for Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Shaun Morash also relives his emotional game-night tweets and his ongoing feud with Jets fans before breaking news hits: Aaron Judge is expected to miss the Yankees' Wild Card Series with a calf strain.

Chris Welsh, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest NFL Week 2 storylines, starting with Nico Collins’ hamstring injury, Jordan Mason landing on IR, Aaron Jones’ expanded opportunity, and the latest on Ladd McConkey and Zay Flowers. Then it’s on to the week’s biggest games: Vikings-Bears, Jaguars-Broncos, Seahawks-Cardinals, Colts-Chiefs, and Rams-Giants. The guys dig into Caleb Williams vs. Brian Flores, Trevor Lawrence and Bo Nix, Kenneth Walker, Jonathan Taylor, Matthew Stafford, Jackson Dart, Justin Jefferson, and more. Finally, the crew makes its bold Week 2 calls, including a potential Shedeur Sanders takeover in Cleveland, Bengals-Texans, and a Vikings upset pick before revealing the teams and players they’ll be watching most closely this weekend.

Could one simple Drew Brees conversation help unlock the next version of Caleb Williams?Ben Johnson revealed that Brees explained to Caleb how only a few extra completions per game can dramatically change a quarterback's completion percentage and overall efficiency. Caleb then opened the season 21-of-29 for 269 yards, 2 passing TDs and a 124.1 passer rating while showing more willingness to take the easy completion.Haize also breaks down whether “No Block, No Rock” is becoming the Bears' true offensive identity and whether Ryan Poles should call the Giants about Kayvon Thibodeaux. Chicago isn't reportedly negotiating for him, but his ability to help opposite Montez Sweat makes the idea worth exploring.

The Giants finally gave fans something to believe in with a 28-20 win over Dallas, but one good night does not prove the turnaround is real. Now New York has an open roster spot, roughly $12.7 million in cap room and a Week 2 Rams test waiting.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Are the Giants actually different at 1-0, or are fans getting ahead of themselves? The early signs are encouraging, but John Harbaugh's own message was clear: what beat Dallas will not be enough to beat the Rams.Drew and Rob start with the Giants' Monday roster activity. New York worked out 10 players, signed former Cowboys running back Phil Mafah to the practice squad and waived Dalen Cambre, leaving an open spot on the active roster. That became more interesting when the Giants restructured Jevon Holland's contract and created roughly $5.8 million in additional 2026 cap space.Does the combination of an open roster spot and added cap flexibility mean Joe Schoen has another move in mind? There is no guarantee, but the Giants now have the ability to act if the right player becomes available.Attention then turns toward Los Angeles. Myles Garrett will miss the Giants game after knee surgery and a trip to injured reserve, while Aaron Donald's Week 2 status remained undecided. Harbaugh also pushed back against any temptation to celebrate Dallas for too long, telling his team that Sunday's performance will not be enough next Monday night.Drew and Rob also revisit several details from Week 1 that stood out after another look. Kayvon Thibodeaux and Chauncey Golston moved inside in passing situations, creating packages that allowed the Giants to put Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and their other top rushers on the field together. Carter earned a 90.3 PFF grade, Dez Bryant praised Malachi Fields, and the conversation eventually turned into something Giants fans have not been able to say comfortably in a while: maybe this team really is different.Then the show goes league-wide for NFL Week 1. Chicago scored 59 but still exposed defensive concerns. Baltimore looked dangerous immediately. Buffalo shredded Houston's highly regarded defense. Arizona surprised the Chargers, Minnesota stormed back against Green Bay, Philadelphia survived Washington and Drew and Rob graded every straight-up pick, spread and total using the exact lines they originally picked.Through Sunday, Drew sat at 26-19 overall and Rob at 27-18, with Broncos-Chiefs still pending during the episode.Which part of Week 1 are you buying most: the Giants' new energy, Chicago's offense, Baltimore's dominance, Buffalo's statement in Houston, Minnesota's comeback — or something else entirely?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The Giants have a real chance to attack Dallas' weaknesses, but that only matters if John Harbaugh has actually fixed the problems that buried New York last season: run defense, red-zone failures, late-game execution and discipline. Week 1 gives the Giants a favorable offensive matchup and a brutal defensive test at the same time.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Has John Harbaugh actually changed the Giants enough to beat Dallas? The first answer should come from whether New York can stop the run, stay clean situationally and turn offensive opportunities into touchdowns.Drew and Rob start by separating fact from fiction in last season's 34-17 win over Dallas. The Giants were already leading 16-10 at halftime before the Cowboys pulled key starters, and there are pieces worth carrying forward: Jaxson Dart's mobility, a committed running game, ball security and sustained drives that keep Dak Prescott on the sideline.The first Giants injury report is unusually clean, with Malik Nabers, Andrew Thomas, Shelby Harris, Theo Johnson and Bryan Hudson all practicing fully. The first depth chart creates its own questions, including Deonte Banks ahead of Paulson Adebo and how Harbaugh plans to use the Giants' defensive and offensive rotations.Can Matt Nagy take advantage of Dallas immediately?The Cowboys struggled defensively last season, particularly against the run, and their secondary gives the Giants opportunities. Nabers has already produced huge numbers against Dallas, and New York may finally have enough complementary weapons to punish a defense that focuses too heavily on him. Drew expects the Giants offense to have a good matchup — but the unanswered question is what Nagy's real offense actually looks like after keeping so much hidden during the preseason.Then the concern flips to the Giants defense.New York allowed 145.3 rushing yards per game and an NFL-worst 5.3 yards per carry last season. Dallas averaged 125.6 rushing yards per game, while Javonte Williams ran for more than 1,200 yards. Before Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux can attack Dak Prescott, the Giants have to earn those pass-rush opportunities by winning first and second down.And when Dallas does throw, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens create a major problem for a Giants cornerback room Drew still does not trust. Greg Newsome and Deonte Banks should benefit from more aggressive press coverage, but this is an immediate stress test for the entire secondary.Finally, the conversation comes back to Harbaugh. Physicality, conditioning, accountability and discipline have been the message all offseason. Now the Giants have to show it in an actual game.The episode also covers Dean Lowry, Jihad Ward, new reporting on Darius Slayton, the Giants' $7.88 million in available cap space, Week 1 NFL picks and a Cam Skattebo quick hit.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Cam Skattebo is back and looks ready to lead the Giants backfield, but his admission that one major injury nearly made him walk away from football changes the risk New York is managing. His violent running style is a huge part of what makes him special, yet protecting him may now matter as much as unleashing him.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Should the Giants protect Cam Skattebo more after his injury? New York can reduce some of the punishment with Najee Harris, Patrick Ricard and a deeper backfield without asking Skattebo to stop being the physical runner that made him a fan favorite.The biggest debate of the episode starts with how little faith the rest of the NFL seems to have in the Giants. Mike Sando's survey of six NFL executives placed New York 14th of 16 NFC teams, Dallas is favored at MetLife, and Jaxson Dart landed on a bottom-10 projected QB1 list. Drew pushes back on the ranking and especially the criticism of Dart's decision-making after a rookie season with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, while still acknowledging that the Giants have not earned the benefit of the doubt yet. Kayvon Thibodeaux saying the team “got a lot better” only sharpens the divide between confidence inside the building and skepticism outside it.Then Skattebo's story changes the tone. He told Kay Adams that he had promised himself he would be done after one major injury, and after last season's dislocated ankle, fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament, he genuinely questioned whether he wanted to keep playing. He ultimately came back, stayed around the team through rehab and now enters Week 1 healthy and in position for a major role. The question is whether the Giants should use Najee Harris and Patrick Ricard to absorb more of the punishment, or whether trying to protect Skattebo too much would strip away what makes him effective.Drew also revisits Darius Alexander after Chris Pflum's film review showed both the technical problems and the flashes that keep his developmental upside alive. Greg Newsome's history with George Pickens adds another layer to Giants-Cowboys, Malik Harrison joins the practice squad in another John Harbaugh reunion, and Ben Barten is released. Evan Neal, Tre Hawkins and Azeez Ojulari all worked out for the Raiders, while quick hits cover Shelby Harris joining SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Giants' Week 1 stadium plans and the team's practice break before Monday.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

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

The Giants finally looked like the aggressor in Miami, but that edge comes with a cost if physicality turns into 15-yard penalties when the games count. The same practice that produced a dominant defensive showing also produced fight after fight.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Did the Giants cross the line against Miami? The answer is less about one joint practice and more about whether John Harbaugh can keep the aggression without letting it become a discipline problem.Drew and Rob start with the Giants-Dolphins joint practice, where Brian Burns called the defensive performance “dominant” and Jaxson Dart had another encouraging day. Then the confrontations took over: Abdul Carter and Patrick Paul got tangled, Deonte Banks took a big hit during return work, Kayvon Thibodeaux jumped into the Austin Jackson-Arvell Reese confrontation, Jameis Winston charged into the biggest brawl after a late hit on Calvin Austin III, and Jermaine Eluemunor was pulled late after making contact with another player's facemask.How good can this defense actually be if the run defense is merely average? Burns is coming off a 16.5-sack season and sits No. 14 on the NFL Top 100, while Abdul Carter enters Year 2 with major expectations. The concern remains the interior after the Giants allowed 2,470 rushing yards, 5.3 yards per carry and 21 rushing touchdowns in 2025.Najee Harris is officially a Giant, and his arrival changes the entire running back conversation. Harbaugh said Harris will need roughly two to three weeks to get back into football shape, which leaves a real debate over how Harris, Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary fit together. Is Skattebo still the lead back, or is this becoming a true committee?The roster decisions keep coming. New York turned Daniel Faalele into an unconditional 2027 sixth-round pick, Malachi Fields continues to push his way into a bigger offensive role, Jalin Hyatt faces more pressure in a crowded receiver room, and Drew and Rob debate whether Darius Slayton could become a trade candidate if the Giants decide the depth is strong enough.Special teams gets its own look with Dominic Zvada and Ben Sauls still battling at kicker, while the show closes with a fan question about the secondary—the position group that still creates the most concern if the pass rush does not get home quickly.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The Giants need answers at cornerback, but how far should they be willing to go to find one? New York's injuries, uncertainty between Paulson Adebo and Deonte Banks, and the visit with Terrion Arnold created a much bigger debate about where football need ends and unacceptable risk begins.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.How serious is the Giants' cornerback problem? The unofficial depth chart still lists Adebo ahead of Banks, but the practice usage discussed in this episode suggests the competition may be considerably closer than the chart makes it look—and injuries throughout the secondary only increase the pressure.A large part of the conversation centers on Arnold's visit. Arnold currently faces unresolved felony charges tied to serious allegations, and the discussion stays centered on the uncertainty surrounding the legal process, the risk involved for the Giants and what the visit itself says about their current level of concern at corner. The Giants have not signed him.Does merely exploring that option tell us more about the state of the Giants' secondary than the depth chart does?The first unofficial depth chart created several other contradictions. Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux share an OR designation even though Carter has been getting the first-team work discussed on the show. Odell Beckham Jr. sits in the third tier at wide receiver and now has a preseason opportunity to prove his receiving value can outweigh his lack of a significant special-teams role.Matt Nagy also gave us one of the night's more concerning quotes when he said the Giants are only halfway through both their run and pass installation. The positive side is that Nagy praised Jaxson Dart's command of what has already been installed. The concern is obvious: how comfortable should Giants fans be with that much of the offense still being built this close to the season?We also get into Darius Alexander's goal of becoming the NFL's most dominant defensive tackle, Malik Nabers' progress, the possibility of Dart and other starters seeing preseason snaps, Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., the Ben Sauls–Dominic Zvada kicker competition, and Brandon Allen's bizarre place atop the preseason passing-yard leaderboard over the last decade.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Arvell Reese is giving the Giants another explosive defensive weapon, but the same practices revealing his upside are exposing an offense still losing too many reps to turnovers and penalties. The defense may be improving quickly; the cost is a growing question about how far Jaxson Dart and the new offense still have to go.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Has Arvell Reese already earned a larger role in the Giants defense? His work against the run, in coverage and as a blitzer suggests the Giants may need to find more snaps for him before the preseason even begins.Drew and Rob review three Giants training camp practices, beginning with Darius Alexander's late interception of Dart on Friday. They discuss why the play was both an impressive defensive moment and a situational mistake by the quarterback, along with Dart's transition to playing under center and learning new pocket landmarks.The Friday discussion also covers Abdul Carter and Brian Burns continuing to generate pressure, Kayvon Thibodeaux rushing from the interior, Jalin Hyatt and Dalen Cambre producing big catches, Ben Sauls answering Dominic Zvada in the kicking competition and Cam Skattebo responding to John Harbaugh's criticism.Saturday brought a leaping touchdown from Odell Beckham Jr., two Dart interceptions and a major day from Tremaine Edmunds. Theo Johnson continued producing, Jack Kelly made plays in coverage, Colton Hood showed physicality and Zvada strengthened his early lead for the kicking job.The hosts also examine the clear difference in how Harbaugh is running camp. Practices are faster, more situationally focused and built around rapid player rotations. Drew argues that the previous Giants staff wasted too many training camp opportunities and that Harbaugh's approach should better prepare the team for real game situations.Monday's first padded practice belonged to Reese and the defense. Reese stopped Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr., pressured Dart and earned strong praise from Harbaugh. Tyler Nubin helped create an early run stop, Andrew Thomas responded against Abdul Carter, and Brian Burns, Carter and Thibodeaux continued creating pressure.Dart still produced a deep completion to Malachi Fields, while Jevón Holland, Micah McFadden and Deonte Banks made defensive plays. Banks also dropped two potential interceptions, and the Giants committed approximately 12–14 penalties during a practice in which false starts became the most concerning team-wide issue.Is the Giants defense developing into a legitimate strength, or is it simply taking advantage of an offense still learning a new system?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Abdul Carter's dominant second practice gave the Giants another potential difference-maker, but it also raised questions about an offense that struggled once the defense increased the pressure.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Is Abdul Carter already becoming the breakout star of Giants training camp? His performance against Andrew Thomas is a legitimate early signal, but two unpadded practices are not enough to declare the transformation complete.Drew and Rob cut through the usual training-camp hype and examine what actually happened during the Giants' first two practices at The Greenbrier.Day 1 produced the stronger offensive performance. Jaxson Dart completed plenty of throws while adjusting to more work from under center, different footwork and new pocket landmarks. The operation looked encouraging, but several risky passes could have become interceptions if the defense had finished its opportunities.Braxton Berrios became the surprise standout of the opening practice with five reported catches during team periods, including a long touchdown from Jameis Winston. Malachi Fields continued making contested catches, Chris Manhertz contributed more as a receiver than expected and Darius Slayton appeared to be moving well following offseason surgery.Malik Nabers completed controlled individual work on consecutive days. His ability to run, cut and plant without an obvious setback is encouraging, but the Giants have not yet returned him to unrestricted competitive team periods.Day 2 belonged to the defense. Carter repeatedly reached the backfield while working against Thomas, produced multiple would-be sacks and deflected a screen. The matchup becomes more meaningful because Carter was creating problems for the Giants' best offensive lineman—not simply beating a reserve.Kayvon Thibodeaux also answered the pressure surrounding the Giants' crowded edge-rusher room. After batting down a pass during the opening practice, he intercepted Winston and returned it for a touchdown on Day 2.The episode also covers Cam Skattebo's healthy return to team drills, the developing competition with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Tae Banks' early pass breakups and the kicking battle between Ben Sauls and Dominic Zvada.The first two practices did not settle any depth-chart decisions, but they gave Giants fans several real developments to follow once the pads come on.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

John Harbaugh is bringing a sharper standard to Giants training camp, but demanding better execution only matters if the roster can stay healthy, finish games and overcome several unresolved weaknesses.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Has John Harbaugh already changed the Giants' standard? The expectations sound different, but the real test is whether that urgency produces better execution and more wins once the games begin.Harbaugh made the strongest statement of the Giants' opening day at The Greenbrier when he said the team was not there simply to practice. Every drill, play call and practice period is supposed to prepare the Giants for the games they need to win. He praised the team's focus, Jaxson Dart's command of the offense and the work Malik Nabers has put into his recovery. However, Nabers remains on a gradual plan, and Harbaugh would not place a firm timeline on his return to full practices. Joe Schoen also acknowledged that Dart must learn another offense in his second season, even though continuity would have been preferable. We discuss whether Harbaugh's experienced offensive staff can reduce that developmental cost and help Dart build on his rookie year.Can the Giants replace Dexter Lawrence by committee?Schoen admitted the timing of the Lawrence trade limited the available options because the main free-agent market had already passed. D.J. Reader, Shelby Harris, Darius Alexander and the inside linebackers will collectively be asked to replace his impact. Schoen also stopped well short of declaring the run defense fixed, answering that the Giants will have to see whether the new personnel and emphasis actually work. The roster remains unsettled. Schoen said the Giants will continue exploring trades, waiver claims and available veterans, with cornerback and wide receiver among the most important camp competitions.Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios are fighting for roles in a crowded receiver room. Schoen said Beckham can still get open and catch the football, while Harbaugh thought he looked good during the opening practice. None of the veteran receivers have been handed a roster spot.We also discuss Schoen describing his job as year to year despite receiving an extension, Cam Skattebo's backflip and the warning that followed, Kayvon Thibodeaux's importance to the defense, and the challenge of running a physical camp without losing irreplaceable players.The Giants are talking about execution, competition and finishing games. Now they have to prove that “no excuses” is more than a training-camp slogan.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Vita Vea's trade demand immediately puts the Giants under the microscope. Evan Roberts believes the dominant run-stopper is exactly what New York needs after losing Dexter Lawrence, especially with Jaxson Dart still on his rookie contract and the team trying to win now. Shaun Morash agrees, arguing that aggressive moves like this are how contenders accelerate their rise. Tiki Barber remains skeptical about committing major money and draft capital to a 31-year-old defensive tackle when the Giants still have questions at cornerback, wide receiver and linebacker. The debate turns to possible trade packages, Kayvon Thibodeaux's value and whether Tampa Bay will ultimately repair its relationship with Vea instead of moving him.

Vita Vea would immediately strengthen the Giants' defensive front, but acquiring him could cost Kayvon Thibodeaux, draft capital and another major contract. Drew and Rob debate whether the upgrade in the middle would justify sacrificing a younger pass rusher entering a critical season.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Should the Giants trade Kayvon Thibodeaux for Vita Vea? Vea would fill a larger immediate need, but the Giants would be surrendering youth, contract control and potentially an additional draft pick for a 31-year-old seeking a new deal.The trade request leads to a detailed discussion about whether Joe Schoen should call Tampa Bay and what a realistic offer could look like. Because the Buccaneers need pass-rush help, Drew and Rob examine a hypothetical package built around Thibodeaux and a Day 3 pick. A fourth-round selection is viewed as a reasonable ceiling, while adding a second-round pick would make the price excessive.Would Vea become the best defensive tackle on the Giants immediately, or would New York be repeating the type of expensive commitment it avoided by trading Dexter Lawrence?Vea remains a major interior presence, but age and money complicate the decision. The Giants would need to determine whether he fits their competitive timeline, whether they could extend him at a manageable number and whether Vea would even want to join New York after watching the Lawrence situation unfold. John Harbaugh's arrival and the organization's new direction could help the pitch, but this remains a hypothetical debate—not a report that the Giants and Buccaneers have discussed a trade.The Giants also announced a major expansion of their East Rutherford headquarters and training facility. The project includes approximately 93,500 square feet of new construction and 46,000 square feet of renovations, with completion expected before the 2028 season.Drew and Rob react to the planned locker room, weight room, nutrition, recovery and rehabilitation upgrades while questioning how much the project reflects Harbaugh's influence. The investment suggests ownership is preparing for a long-term change in how the football operation trains, communicates and supports its players.Is this simply an overdue modernization, or evidence that the Giants are finally providing their football staff with the infrastructure expected from a serious NFL organization?The largest portion of the episode examines the 18 players brought in for workouts. The group included quarterback Jake Haener; running back Kylin James; wide receivers Malik Heath and Eric McAlister; tight ends Zach Davidson, Tyler Moore and Scotty Washington; offensive tackles Jake Curhan, Luke Felix-Fualalo and Derek Simmons; defensive tackles Marlon Davidson, Daniel Ekuale and Foley Fatukasi; linebackers Kenneth Murray and Chandler Martin; and defensive backs Tony Grimes, Ahmaad Moses and Sam Webb.Rather than treating every workout as a major move, Drew and Rob separate the legitimate depth candidates from the developmental long shots. Curhan offers more than 50 games of NFL experience and tackle-guard versatility. Murray brings extensive starting experience at linebacker. Fatukasi has a proven history as an early-down run defender, while Haener gives the team another developmental quarterback option.McAlister's final season at TCU, Moses' ball production at SMU and Grimes' former five-star pedigree provide upside, but each player would need to prove value on special teams or at the bottom of the depth chart. The size of the workout group also raises a broader question: Is the new Giants staff dissatisfied with the roster, or simply creating constant competition before training camp?Two players earned contracts after the workout. Former second-round pick Marlon Davidson brings defensive-line versatility and previous experience with Dennard Wilson in Tennessee. His production has never matched his draft position, but familiarity with the scheme gives him a realistic chance to compete for rotational snaps.Tyler Moore enters as a blocking-oriented tight end and H-back after limited receiving production at Iowa State. His path to the roster depends almost entirely on blocking, special teams and assignment reliability. Drew and Rob question whether Moore offers enough upside to beat out the other depth tight ends or whether he is more likely headed for the practice squad.The episode closes with Wilson's encouraging comments about Deonte Banks. Wilson said Banks had a “helluva offseason,” has been running toward coaching instead of away from it and appears to be in a better headspace.Can better coaching finally unlock Banks, or have Giants fans heard too many offseason turnaround stories?The hosts remain cautious about expecting a former first-round star to suddenly emerge. A more realistic success would be Banks becoming a dependable defensive back, depth option and possible return contributor. Training camp will determine whether the offseason praise represents genuine progress or another temporary burst of optimism.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/The package follows the Buzzsprout requirement to lead with the gain-versus-sacrifice tradeoff, include the searchable Big Question and omit chapters unless specifically requested.

On this episode of the Giants Huddle podcast, John Schmeelk is joined by the Giants’ outside linebackers, Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, to discuss the offseason so far and their goals for the 2026 season. Presented by Citizens. 00:00 - Brian Burns 8:30 - Kayvon ThibodeauxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux goes Inside the ICE House to discuss his NIL tour and efforts to help student-athletes navigate money, opportunities and life beyond sports. He shares lessons from his own experience, emphasizing financial literacy, leadership and the importance of long-term thinking. Thibodeaux also reflects on his role with the J.P.

The Giants may have gained a more balanced defensive group, but they sacrificed Dexter Lawrence in the middle of the line. That is the tradeoff driving this entire debate: can the defense be more complete while losing its best interior player?Follow the show on Spotify, and if you listen on Apple Podcasts, leave a 5-star rating and review to help more Giants fans find the show.This episode breaks down the Giants defense position by position after the Dexter Lawrence trade. Drew and Rob start with the defensive line, where Shelby Harris and D.J. Reader give the Giants veteran options, but not the same elite centerpiece Dexter provided. Is this group deeper, or did the Giants take a step back where it matters most?From there, the discussion moves to the edge room with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Abdul Carter. That group may be the clearest strength of the defense, especially if Carter takes another step and Burns keeps producing. But the pass rush still depends on whether the interior can hold up.The linebacker and secondary debates bring more questions. The Giants need more range and stability in the middle of the field, while cornerback remains one of the most unsettled spots on the roster. Deonte Banks, Colton Hood, and the rest of the corner room come up as the guys try to figure out whether the Giants actually have enough answers.The safety room closes the discussion, with Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin, and the coaching change all part of the bigger question. Did the Giants build a better defense, or did they just replace one problem with another?This is the audio from yesterday morning's live show.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

MetLife Stadium may still make money, but the latest World Cup pitch complaints raise a bigger problem for Giants fans: is the home field becoming an embarrassment the team cannot ignore? Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Is MetLife Stadium a real Giants problem or just an overblown player complaint? The answer is probably both: FIFA may say the field is playable, but when World Cup players, NFL players, and Giants fans all keep circling the same stadium complaints, the issue becomes bigger than one surface.Drew and Rob spend the first half of the show on MetLife after Adrien Rabiot and Vinicius Junior criticized the pitch and FIFA defended the stadium conditions. The conversation quickly moves beyond grass vs. turf into the broader problem: the NFLPA's F- field grade, the bland fan experience, the stadium's lack of identity, and why Giants fans still compare it unfavorably to old Giants Stadium.The second half shifts into roster construction. The Giants are getting heavier under John Harbaugh, and the hosts debate whether that means the team is finally building a more physical identity or just changing the average because of roster churn.Paulson Adebo also gets a spotlight after strong spring reports. The debate is not whether Adebo has talent — it is whether he can actually become the CB1-level player the Giants need after last year's injury comeback season.The final stretch hits two roster ideas: Najee Harris as a possible Devin Singletary replacement and Vita Vea as a defensive tackle name to monitor if Tampa Bay's contract situation gets worse. The hosts are clear that Vea is not a Giants trade story yet, but the Kayvon Thibodeaux angle makes the hypothetical hard to ignore.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Kayvon Thibodeaux is getting the praise every player wants, but the sacrifice is obvious: his Giants future now runs through a contract year, a crowded pass-rush room, Abdul Carter's arrival, and the pressure to prove his value at camp.Drew and Rob ask whether Brian Burns' comments show that Thibs is fully bought into John Harbaugh's Giants, or whether professionalism only matters if the production follows.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Has Kayvon Thibodeaux handled the Giants' pressure like a pro? Yes — based on the discussion, the strongest argument is that Thibodeaux has stayed professional through trade noise, role uncertainty, and contract-year pressure, but training camp still decides whether that buy-in becomes a real Giants future.The episode opens with the Giants' public training camp dates at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. Drew walks through the open practice schedule and why moving camp away from home changes the usual fan experience, especially for fans who are used to seeing the team up close in New Jersey.Then the main debate turns to Thibodeaux. Brian Burns praised the way Thibs has handled his business, and Drew argues Giants fans should give him more credit for staying professional while the team drafts Abdul Carter, trade rumors float around, and his next contract hangs in the balance. The question is not just whether Thibodeaux is talented. The question is whether he can turn a tough situation into a season that forces the Giants to rethink his future.Has Kayvon earned more respect from Giants fans, or does “handled it like a pro” still have to show up on the field?The second half shifts to Ed McCaffrey's comments on Odell Beckham Jr. and Malik Nabers. McCaffrey believes a healthy OBJ could give defenses something to worry about opposite Nabers, but Drew and Rob are not ready to buy the full hype. They debate whether OBJ can still be more than a nostalgia signing, where he fits in a deeper receiver room, and whether his best value may be as a mentor and situational weapon rather than a true WR2.Is OBJ still a real weapon for the Giants, or are fans chasing the old version of Beckham?Drew and Rob also get into the details of OBJ's low-risk contract, the injury waivers attached to it, the memory of the old slant-route magic, and why even a small Beckham role could still matter if he helps Malik Nabers and the younger receivers develop.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Rami's botched drop sparks a look at Eddie's HR file, Gio senses a lack of NFL Draft buzz, and Dexter Lawrence looks to exit the Giants. Jerry recaps a Yankees loss before we dive into Francisco Lindor's "grab ass" controversy and Lavar Ball's personal shots at Nick Wright and Jason Whitlock. Finally, Boomer breaks down Ravens draft history and wonders if the Giants will ship off both Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

(13:22) Giants begin voluntary offseason workouts without DT Dexter Lawrence (15:37) Giants HC John Harbaugh: “We want Dexter here, I believe Dexter wants to be here. That’s a good formula, but there’s business involved.” (33:06) John Harbaugh: “I’m thinking about getting (Kayvon Thibodeaux) plugged into our defense and getting him rolling. You want to talk about is he a trade possibility? Everybody’s tradable. Everybody.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shaun and Justin are together for their first mailbag of the offseason and talk about new DL Sam Roberts, still waiting for more interior lineman, possibly trading away Kayvon Thibodeaux and a ton of stats on how John Harbaugh's influence can help with Jaxson Dart's development.   Download the Fanatics Sportsbook app , use code JOMBOY https://fanatics.onelink.me/5kut/JOMBOY New customers who sign up and Bet $5, Get $100 in FanCash*.
