A potential jersey number change from Abdul Carter sparks a surprisingly passionate debate. If a player switches numbers after fans already bought the jersey, who really pays the price? Evan and Tiki Barber discuss why more pass rushers want single digit numbers, whether players should have to wait years before changing them, and how trends from stars like Micah Parsons and Kayvon Thibodeaux have made the look more popular. They also dive into famous jersey number changes across sports including Michael Jordan wearing 45 after his return and Kobe Bryant switching numbers mid career. Then it's time for Cinco de Luncho, with the Top 5 Worst Places to Fall Asleep… from school to public transportation, and even a certain viral moment at the NFL Combine. Along the way the guys also hit on Giants training camp possibly heading to West Virginia and the never ending Jets quarterback debate.

Hour 2 focuses on the latest Washington Commanders roster news and free-agent buzz. The New York Giants are reportedly set to release LB Bobby Okereke, sparking discussion on how he might fit in Washington. Chris Russell breaks down trade rumors involving Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dextar Lawrence, while weighing in on reports that the Commanders are interested in signing RB Kenneth Walker. He also shares his thoughts on potentially adding a veteran WR and listens in on audience reactions to the latest free-agent chatter.

The show opens with a major NFL shakeup as the Kansas City Chiefs trade All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for draft capital, including the 29th overall pick, before shifting focus to the Washington Commanders and the idea that all options, including trading back from No. 7, should remain on the table. A-MAC picks Chris Russell's brain on contract restructures, void years, and how these moves can impact teams long-term. Roster and free-agent buzz dominates next, including the release of Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke and how he might fit in Washington, trade rumors surrounding Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence, and interest in signing running back Kenneth Walker, with Russell also weighing the idea of adding a veteran wide receiver. The discussion then expands league-wide, analyzing Kyler Murray entering free agency and which teams make the most sense for his talent while considering concerns about maturity, before closing with breaking news that the New England Patriots are expected to release WR Stefon Diggs after the start of the league year, sparking speculation on potential landing spots.

The clip is everywhere: Aaron Glenn at the Combine looking like he's “resting his eyes” on national TV. The show opens by defending how brutally boring the Combine is, then gets real about what matters in 2026, optics. For a Jets coach already under a microscope, that moment turns into instant Jets lore, and the crew debates whether he will ever shake it once the season starts. Then the calls flood in and the Jets embarrassment fatigue is loud. Connor Green speaks for the fan base that is tired of becoming a weekly meme, while callers argue whether this is harmless, unacceptable, or a sign of bigger problems. The conversation also touches the fallout of the Jermaine Johnson trade and why the Jets absolutely have to hit on their premium draft picks. From there it's back to the Giants: draft smoke, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and the larger question of who is actually safe as Big Blue reshapes the roster. The show also digs into the anxiety of losing free agents and how quickly “cap savings” turns into desperation when you still need starters. And yes, the Mets take over a chunk of the hour too. Carlos Mendoza names Freddie Peralta the Opening Day starter, which sparks the debate Mets fans did not want: should the homegrown phenom Nolan McLean have gotten the honor, especially with Paul Skenes lined up on the other side? The crew breaks down why the Peralta choice feels like a recruitment pitch for an impending free agent, why fans wanted the electric McLean vs. Skenes matchup, and whether “your ace must start Opening Day” is a hard rule or just a tradition.

Are the Giants actually listening on Kayvon Thibodeaux at the Combine, and if so, what's the real return that makes it worth it? Shaun and Tiki break down why dumping Kayvon for a Day 3 pick feels like malpractice, why waves of pass rush matter, and what a smarter player-for-player deal could look like. Then the conversation expands into other names floating around the league: Tremaine Edmunds as a potential linebacker fix, Sam LaPorta as a dream weapon for a young QB, and why Jeremiah Love at No. 5 screams smokescreen. Plus, callers weigh in on Caleb Downs, the Giants' real needs (LB, CB, OT), and the risk of “luxury picks” when you're not good enough yet.

After Jermaine Johnson was dealt, rumors swirl that Kayvon Thibodeaux could be next. Shaun and Tiki react to Connor Hughes' report from the Combine, debating whether Kayvon is truly expendable or still a crucial piece of a dominant pass-rush rotation. They discuss his production drop, injury concerns, draft expectations, and why great Giants defenses always featured waves of edge rushers. Plus, what kind of return would actually make sense? The guys explore potential player-for-player scenarios, including linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and tight end Sam LaPorta, while callers weigh in on leadership, run defense struggles, coaching impact, and whether trading Kayvon for picks would be a massive mistake.

Then we pivot to the Titans moving on from Lloyd Cushenberry and Xavier Woods, and whether either one is worth a real look given health and value. Finally, we close on the Kayvon Thibodeaux chatter and how that decision could reshape the entire defensive front heading into draft weekend, plus the Tremaine Edmunds trade door opening and what it would take to make that kind of move make sense.Listener Q&A: Draft a CB early, or build the trenches first?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/2giantgoofballs X: https://x.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us a text: on a 1–5 scale, how urgent is CB for the Giants right now?Send a textSupport the show

Evan gets roasted for an airplane meltdown scenario before the show pivots back to the NFL Combine and the New York Post's “biggest offseason storylines” game: the QB carousel, Stafford rumors, franchise tags (including Breece Hall), and whether this draft really could produce only one Round 1 quarterback again. Plus, a deep dive into what the Giants should actually spend on in free agency, why Tyler Linderbaum might be too pricey, and why Cordale Flott could be the sneaky “whoa” contract of the offseason. The hour also features Cinco de Luncho with the Top 5 local NFL players we want back, capped by a full-on debate about trading Kayvon Thibodeaux and why selling low makes no sense. Also in the mix: Tommy Lugauer's travel nightmare, a rabbit hole on the Hughes hockey family, and the weirdest medal-ceremony tradition that has athletes getting handed stuffed mascots right after heartbreak.

It helps a ton.We break down the Waddle smoke from every angle: moving from pick 5 to pick 11, the rumored player add-ons (Kayvon Thibodeaux or Darius Slayton), and why the money is the real issue once the cap number jumps into the $32M and $35M range after 2026. Then we react to the Travis Kelce-to-Giants chatter, why it feels like classic offseason noise, and what a short-term veteran TE swing would actually mean for the offense. We wrap with a cap-cut fit board at WR, TE, OL, and CB, focusing on which names make sense only if the price and medicals cooperate.Listener Q&A: Waddle trade: A) swap down to 11 or B) stay at 5 and spend elsewhere?Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1Send a textSupport the show

GRADING THE NEW YORK GIANTS 2025 SEASON I'm grading EVERY NFL team's 2025 season based on the film and the numbers — let's talk New York Giants football. I'm giving the Giants a C+. They weren't close to the playoffs and the year felt inconsistent, but there were real flashes that should have fans optimistic. Offensively, they finished middle of the pack at 22.4 points per game (17th), but the run game was legitimately top tier — nearly 130 rushing yards per game (5th in the league) and top-five in EPA per rush. A huge reason? Jaxson Dart. The rookie put up 2,300 passing yards, 15 TDs to 5 INTs with a 91.7 rating despite missing time, and added 487 rushing yards with 9 rushing TDs — third among QBs behind Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. The mobility is electric, but he has to protect himself and grow more comfortable operating from the pocket if he's going to be the true franchise guy. Malik Nabers continues to look like a legit WR1 — glider, explosive, can win at every level — and Andrew Thomas anchored an O-line that quietly finished 4th in pass blocking efficiency per PFF. Defensively? That's where things fell apart. 25.8 points allowed per game (26th), dead last in EPA per rush allowed. The interior run defense was a nightmare — wide gaps, poor fits, linebackers overwhelmed — and despite the name power of Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter, they just didn't dominate like they should have. That's the offseason priority. With John Harbaugh now in the building, this feels like a reset with direction. Fix the interior, add another weapon, help Dart develop — and this C+ could jump to a B or better next season. Optimistic, but work to do.

Ed, Rob, and Jeremy took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the possibility that the Ravens sign free agent pass rusher Bradley Chubb or trade for Giants DE Kayvon Thibodeaux. Regardless of who it is, do the Ravens need help at the pass rusher position?

With New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh officially in charge, the focus shifts from coaching hires to what comes next for the roster. This segment dives into the growing debate around Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence, and whether either star could be on the move as Harbaugh puts his stamp on the organization. The discussion centers on accountability, motivation, cap flexibility, and how much loyalty exists under a new regime. Is this simply offseason noise, or are major roster changes actually on the table? With value, contracts, and performance all in play, the Giants face tough decisions that could reshape the defense and define the Harbaugh era.

We also discuss what happens when rookie costs and market values push the math over the line—and which restructure candidates would actually make sense if the Giants need more room.Outro (links allowed) Thank you for watching & for your support.

Send us a textThe Giants are on their bye week, and that means one thing on this show: the defense is on trial. In this episode we deliver a full, honest report card for every major defensive player on the New York Giants roster. No spin, no excuses, and no inflated grades.We start with the defensive line and discuss why Dexter Lawrence's production has dipped compared to last season, how much his injury history plays a role, and whether the supporting cast is giving him enough help. Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Roy Robertson-Harris get individual evaluations as we look at whether veteran steadiness is enough on a unit that lacks impact behind its star. Darius Alexander's rookie season gets examined as we balance his improvement with questions about ceiling and long-term role.On the edge, Brian Burns is having a dominant season, but Kayvon Thibodeaux's development, inconsistency, and injury patterns raise legitimate questions about his trajectory. Abdul Carter flashes potential but struggles with finishing plays and maintaining discipline, making his long-term fit a real topic of debate.We evaluate Bobby Okereke's role in the middle of the defense and whether his high tackle totals reflect real impact or simply opportunity in a defense that spends too much time on the field.The secondary brings some of the toughest conversations of the night. Paulson Adebo has battled injuries and inconsistent play. Cor'Dale Flott has quietly become the most reliable corner on the roster. Deonte Banks is at a crossroads with poor production, attitude concerns, and questions about whether a trade might be the best move for both sides. Dru Phillips shows real toughness but still has coverage inconsistencies that create matchup challenges.At safety, Jevon Holland enters a make-or-break stretch with a contract that forces key decisions next year. Tyler Nubin continues to tackle well but remains without an interception in his NFL career. Dane Belton's boom-or-bust style makes him one of the most unpredictable players on the roster.Thank you for watching & for your support.

Send us a textGiants fans, this Monday Night Football matchup just got insane. Jaxson Dart is fully cleared from concussion protocol and will start under the lights, Kayvon Thibodeaux is officially out again, Dexter Lawrence is battling through that elbow injury, and the Patriots are somehow on a nine-game heater while losing yet another starting offensive lineman. We are going live to break down exactly how these injuries shift the trenches, how the matchup really plays now, and whether the Giants plus the points are a lot more live than Vegas wants you to think.Before we go further, drop your MNF pick in the comments — Giants with the points or Patriots to keep the streak alive? And make sure to subscribe so you never miss a Giants breakdown, game reaction, or live pick show.The Patriots injury report wipes out key pieces: starting LG Jared Wilson is out, special teams captain Brenden Schooler is out, and front-seven disruptors Harold Landry and Khyiris Tonga are questionable. Add that to a long list of Patriots already on IR — their LT, their NT, their starting DE, their top depth CB — and suddenly this “red-hot Patriots team” is showing real cracks.The Giants' sheet tells a different story. Kayvon Thibodeaux is out, which hurts the pass rush, but nearly every core defender is trending toward playing: Deonte Banks, Paulson Adebo, Tyler Nubin, Dexter Lawrence, and DJ Davidson all logged enough work to expect them on the field. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jaxson Dart were all full participants, giving the Giants enough offensive firepower to make this a real game if pass protection holds up. The question is whether the Giants can generate any edge pressure without Thibodeaux, and whether Dart can stress a Patriots defense that has been forced deep into its rotation.After the full MNF breakdown, we'll hit the entire Sunday slate. Dolphins-Saints has one of the weirdest totals and injury situations of the week, Texans-Colts might flip the AFC South if C.J. Stroud steals one on the road, and Falcons-Jets has sharp models screaming Over despite a total under 40. 49ers-Browns is shaping into a “Niners win, Browns cover” game with Myles Garrett chasing a sack record. Rams-Panthers remains one of the most lopsided spreads in the early window, Jaguars-Titans has that classic Vrabel home-dog energy, and Cardinals-Bucs is one of the cleanest “favorite + Over” profiles of the week.The late slate is chaos: Minnesota starting another rookie QB vs Seattle, Buffalo walking into Pittsburgh with two backup tackles, the Raiders changing OCs while being nearly double-digit dogs to the Chargers, and Bo Nix trying to keep Denver in the AFC 1-seed hunt on Sunday Night Football.It's Week 13, the board is wild, and we're breaking down every matchup so Giants fans know exactly where the real edges are across the league.Thank you for watching & for your support.

Detroit Lions Podcast: Pressure Rising and Identity on the Line The Detroit Lions return to Ford Field this weekend in what feels like a must win against the New York Giants. Coming off a deflating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit cannot afford another slip. In the newest episode of Risdon Reviews the Lions after Philly, the tone shifts from frustration to urgency. The show lays out exactly what went wrong in Philadelphia, what must change fast, and why this match-up with New York may define the trajectory of the season. Offensive Line Problems, Goff's Struggles, and the Blueprint Against Detroit The Lions enter Week 11 with an offense that has been exposed in consecutive losses. Defenses have figured out the formula. The NFL is a copycat league, and the Vikings and Eagles both executed the same plan: attack the interior offensive line, compress the pocket, eliminate the shallow crossers Jared Goff depends on, and force him off rhythm. It worked in Minnesota. It worked even more effectively in Philadelphia. The interior trio of Graham Glasgow, Tate Ratledge, and Kayode Awosika was overwhelmed. The transcript makes it clear that none of them played to the level the Lions need. Ratledge looked like a rookie drowning in high level waters. Glasgow struggled with recognition, leverage, and transitions. Even Awosika, who arguably fared the best of the three, was inconsistent. The Eagles blew up the middle of the field and removed Detroit's bread and butter. The running game never found traction. Goff rarely had clean pockets or clean launch points. The result was predictable: offensive stagnation and stalled drives. What makes the situation more concerning is that Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator John Morton have not yet adapted their system to match personnel. Brock Wright was asked to be Sam LaPorta. Glasgow was treated like Frank Ragnow. Ratledge was given responsibilities better suited for a seasoned veteran. The podcast argues that Detroit must simplify. Play to strengths, not memories of players who are no longer active. The Lions need new answers, new formations, and new wrinkles before defenses bury them under predictability. A Defense Worth Believing In and a Giants Team Detroit Must Beat If there was one beacon of hope from Philadelphia, it was the Lions defense. Jack Campbell played arguably the best game of his young career, totaling fifteen tackles and blowing up multiple Eagles staples. Kelvin Shepherd's defensive front stood up to the notorious tush push, stonewalling it like no team has this season. The Lions forced the Eagles' offense into existential panic. Detroit can win big games with this defense. That is not in question. But injuries remain a hurdle. Terrion Arnold, Brian Branch, Taylor Decker, Kirby Joseph, and Penei Sewell highlight a long and critical injury list. The Giants, despite their record, have a dangerous defensive front. Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux (if healthy) are capable of wrecking an unsteady interior. That makes this game a true test of whether Detroit has learned anything from the last two losses. The Lions cannot afford another misstep. Another loss tightens the playoff picture and erodes confidence. But the podcast remains optimistic. Detroit still controls its fate. Win the next two, including a Thanksgiving rematch with Green Bay, and they will be right back in the NFC North race. As Risdon says, the Lions remain capable of winning anywhere, anytime. But belief must now be paired with answers. The Giants are the moment to show they are still the hunters, not the hunted. https://youtu.be/RlijTEo16vc #LionsMustWin #ProtectGoff #FixTheInterior #ShepherdDefense #GoffAccountability #NextManUpDetroit #GiantsGamePrep #LionsInTheHunt #CampbellCulture #DetroitAdjustments Learn more about your ad choices.

BT & Sal launch a fiery assault on the New York Giants' management, specifically general manager Joe Shane, after the decision to fire Brian Daboll while retaining the GM. Given the team's decade-plus run of losing, the hosts vehemently refuse to give the front office any "benefit of the doubt" for their future plans. Sal argues that the team's collapse is the GM's fault for building an inept roster, questioning where the depth is, particularly on the defensive side, and slamming high draft picks like Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Khader for not making an impact. BT agrees, asserting that the organization is caught in a cycle of ineptitude and demanding to know the "excuse for keeping the general manager" after a disastrous period of team-building. They conclude that the Giants' current trajectory is the "antithesis" of what successful NFL franchises are doing.

Gio can't get over the fact that Steve Cohen is selling his gold toilet, but that's not the only bizarre headline of the day. The guys dive into the latest sports betting scandal involving two Cleveland Guardians pitchers and Gio says fans simply don't care. Not about MLB, not about the NBA, and definitely not until it hits the NFL.

The Jets pull off a wild win over the Browns thanks to two special teams touchdowns and a four-sack day from Will McDonald. Plus, Donald Trump joins the Lions-Commanders broadcast booth, the Patriots stun the Bucs in Tampa, and the hour wraps with Boomer and Gio asking: if the Giants hit 2-11 before the bye… is that the moment Brian Daboll gets fired?

Boomer and Gio react to the latest meltdown as Jaxson Dart exits with a concussion, Russell Wilson finishes the game, and Brian Daboll looks completely lost at the podium. Kayvon Thibodeaux speaks out, the Giants drop to 2–8, and questions swirl about who starts next week. Meanwhile, the Jets stun the Browns with two special teams touchdowns, Aaron Glenn praises his staff, and Boomer breaks down a wild Sunday across the NFL from Josh Allen's meltdown in Miami to President Trump crashing the broadcast booth and Gus Johnson absolutely losing his mind on a college call.

The San Francisco 49ers (5-3) head into Week 9 facing the New York Giants (2-6) in what could be the most important game of the season thus far. With trade-deadline implications, the NFC West race on the line, and a looming matchup vs the Los Angeles Rams next week, the stakes couldn't be higher.After the 49ers' disappointing 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans, where the offense sputtered and the defense got gashed, SF is desperate to bounce back. They've added new faces like Keion White and Clelin Ferrell … but the injury list looms large (no Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, Bryce Huff or Jake Brendel). That MetLife turf has haunted them before — so they'll want to come out clean.On the flip side, the Giants are a mess in 2025. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart is under center after season-ending injuries to Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers. They've shown flashes, but they also turn the ball over. Could this be a trap game?Giants defense? Pass rushers like Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux are legit — but their run defense allows 5.7 yards per carry and 148 yards per game. That spells opportunity for the 49ers ground game.And what about targeting George Kittle? The Giants' secondary has been torched all year: high completion rates allowed, poor coverage grades, and matchup issues all over. If San Fran can establish the run and get Kittle involved, they open everything up.This video breaks down:• Why this is arguably the biggest game of the season for the 49ers so far• Key injury updates + how they impact both teams• Matchup breakdowns: run game vs run defense, pass rush vs 49ers' offensive line, how the Giants' secondary stacks up• What the 49ers must do to win … and what dangers to watch out forIf you're a 49ers fan — or just love deep NFL game-preview breakdowns — hit that Like button, drop a comment with your key prediction for Sunday, and Subscribe for more weekly 49ers coverage.

BT & Sal launch a blistering critique of the Yankees and Mets, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers' aggressive, 'win-now' blueprint. They torch New York's ownership for their "financial fear," demanding both teams stop settling and "go Dodgers-Deep" by trading for stars like Tarik Skubal and Kyle Tucker. The show then erupts over Giants legend Carl Banks' scorching public criticism of Dexter Lawrence, questioning if the $90M All-Pro is hurt, "lazy" after getting paid, or if opponents truly "don't respect" him anymore. They debate the impact of Banks' verbal fire on the Big Cat's effort. The hosts also discuss the Mets' puzzling loss of first base coach Antoan Richardson, rumors of a Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, and end the hour with a fiery round of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" covering the Knicks' minutes, the Phillies' stars, and a potential Rangers' rebuild via trading Panarin/Zibanejad.

BT & Sal launch a fiery critique on the Mets and Yankees, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers who combine aggressive spending (Ohtani, Yamamoto, Snell) with smart trading. They challenge New York to be "great, not just good" by flexing their financial muscle in multiple ways. The debate centers on the Mets' J.T. Ginn McLain dilemma: is he an untouchable asset, or should they trade him for an immediate ace like Skubal? Plus, NFL insider Jordan Schultz's report on the Giants potentially trading Kayvon Thibodeaux sparks a discussion on helping Jackson Dart's development. Fan legend John Minko joins the show to share his bittersweet retirement story and a wild tale about being eyed as a "corporate spy" when WFAN began. Then, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger breaks down Dexter Lawrence's underwhelming performance and why the Giants must get a receiver to help Dart.

BT & Sal dive into the latest Giants drama, dissecting Carl Banks' surprisingly direct and fiery critique of Dexter Lawrence's flagging performance, and question if the verbal shots are a desperate attempt at motivation. They also analyze reports surrounding a potential Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, asking if the Giants should commit long-term to the defensive end given the unit's underperformance. Plus, the guys recap the "Perfect Parlay" segment, where Hoff holds the lead despite a bad week and Sal laments getting burned by a Jets comeback. John Minko stops by for the "Call of the Day" and a funny-but-sad story about his final day at The Fan. The show closes with a passionate debate on a potential new baseball rule limiting intentional walks, debating if the need for entertainment outweighs pure strategy (and whether it's even enforceable).

BT & Sal go off on the "worst officiated game ever," railing against the crucial, non-reviewable forward progress call that stole a Kayvon Thibodeaux fumble on the Eagles' infamous "tush push." They argue the call was "mind bendingly idiotic," changing the feel of a tied game and exposing the NFL's selective, flawed use of replay. Sal believes the league will issue a meaningless apology, while the hosts debate if Brian Daboll's job is on the line, even as the offense looks better with Jaxson Dart. Plus, a fiery take: Dexter Lawrence is "stealing money" and looks out of shape!

Plus, Drake Maye is lighting up New England, the Jets keep the momentum going, and Boomer weighs a possible Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, all while Al vents about NFL commercials.

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over the Giants' future, starting with the critical Eagles rivalry game. The hosts highlight the team's historical failures: not winning in Philadelphia since 2013 and the long drought without a series sweep since 2007. Sal's optimism for more than five remaining wins is challenged by BT's skeptical schedule breakdown, focusing on the brutal stretch ahead against teams like the 49ers. Plus, a frustrated fan calls in to blast the coaching staff for repeat failures with the "prevent defense" and questions why Kayvon Thibodeaux (referred to as "Dax") isn't breaking through constant double-teams, exposing the lack of production from the rest of the defensive line.
