Outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux speaks to the media Sunday after the Giants' loss to the 49ers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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 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!
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 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 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.
Today on the show: we remember Nick Mangold, celebrate the Jets' first win of the season, and relive all the big sounds from the Giants' heartbreaking loss. Justin Fields delivers a performance reminiscent of Week 1, Breece Hall shines with a game-winning TD, and Aaron Glenn reflects on the team's journey. We break down Giants injuries, coaching questions, and the latest from around the NFL—including early MVP talk, Daniel Jones' future with the Colts, and JJ McCarthy's comeback in Minnesota. 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.
Drake Maye's lighting up New England, the Colts face a big Daniel Jones decision, and JJ McCarthy's comeback raises eyebrows. Jets snag a thrilling win, Giants suffer heartbreak, and Boomer weighs a possible Kayvon Thibodeaux trade. Plus, we dive into NFL throwback uniforms and Al's rant on all those 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.
Outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux speaks to the media Sunday after the Giants' loss to the Broncos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
BT and Sal discuss the rapidly building beef between the Giants and Broncos leading up to Sunday's game in Denver. Jaxson Dart's flashy confidence, "eye black on one eye, the chain," and Kayvon Thibodeaux's "Goodfellas" GIF have drawn fire from the Broncos, including a now-deleted "delusional fan base" tweet from star Nick Bonino. The hosts analyze whether the Giants, still viewed by the league as a non-elite team, are ready for a "step up in weight class" against the NFL's best defense. While Giants fans are feeling "Giants Pride" and expecting a win, BT warns they may be in for a "rude awakening," making this the ultimate test of the team's new, young identity.
Send us a textGiants fans, buckle up — this one's loaded. From rookies being called “psychopaths” to Joe Judge secretly helping the Giants draft Jaxson Dart, this episode is pure chaos from start to finish. We break down how Jermaine Eluemunor's wild comments on Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart lit up Giants Twitter, what Brian Daboll had to say about their fiery leadership, and why this kind of intensity might be exactly what New York needs right now.

Sal and BT get a fiery take from NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who slams the New York Jets for their total lack of discipline, infuriating penalties, and "horrible" decision-making, arguing the team is lost. On the flip side, Baldy praises the Giants' debut from rookie QB Jaxson Dart, calling it "awesome" for the energy he brought to the team and his poise as a "general" on the field. He also breaks down why the Giants' defense, featuring Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence, finally looked like an elite unit, while calling out Sauce Gardner for not playing with his previous confidence.
Send us a textThe Giants vs Chargers Week 4 matchup is in the books, and it was the debut of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Drew and Rob are here together for the postgame reaction show to break down what we just saw. How did Dart handle his first NFL start? Was Brian Daboll's game plan enough to calm the noise around his hot seat? Did Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, and the offensive line show up to support their rookie QB? And did the pass rush featuring Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Abdul Carter finally take advantage of a banged-up Chargers line? Beyond the field, fan frustration continues to boil over, with another airplane banner protest flying above the stadium, echoing the message from last year's infamous “Dumpster Fire” flight. This postgame is all about raw reactions, fan takes, and what this game means for the rest of the season. Drew and Rob will give their MVPs, letdowns, and what needs to change heading into Week 5.Thank you for watching & for your support.

Buffalo is coming off a wild comeback vs. the Ravens, winning 41-40 after erasing a 15-point 4th quarter deficit. The Bills are dealing with injury issues up front. Ed Oliver is ruled out. Rookie T.J. Sanders and maybe other young defenders will need to step up. The Jets, despite a narrow loss in Week 1, showed life: a strong running game (Breece Hall), good yards, a dynamic offense under Justin Fields. Betting lines favor Buffalo by about 6-7 points. The over/under is moderate (~47-48). Key matchup: how well can the Jets' front line & secondary slow down Josh Allen, both pass and run. And how will Buffalo fill the gap missing Oliver against a Jets run attack. Prediction: Seems likely Bills win a tight one but Jets cover, maybe final score around Bills 27, Jets 20 / Bills 24-21. Giants @ Cowboys Both teams enter 0-1. Giants stumbled vs. the Commanders (21-6 loss) with anemic offense. Russell Wilson is the starter for now, despite criticism and pressure, with rookie QB Jaxson Dart looming if things don't improve. Giants defense, especially the edge rushers (Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter), must impose themselves. Cowboys O-line has shown weaknesses, especially in pass protection. Giants could exploit that. Cowboys are also looking for improvement after a close loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Home opener helps. Cowboys favored by ~4.5-6.5 points. Giants want to avoid 0-2; plus the history leans heavily toward Dallas.

Send us a textThe New York Giants defense could be the X-factor of the 2025 season. From the pass rush led by Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns to the interior dominance of Dexter Lawrence II, this unit has the star power to be one of the NFL's most dangerous. With young playmakers like Abdul Carter, Dru Phillips, and Tyler Nubin joining proven veterans such as Bobby Okereke and Paulson Adebo, the Giants finally have a defense that blends youth, leadership, and high-end talent across the board.
Send us a textThe New York Giants have set their initial 53-man roster —Drew and Rob,break it ALL down! From surprise cuts to roster locks, the Goofball Army gets the most unfiltered reaction right here.The Giants' quarterback room is set with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie Jaxson Dart, while Tommy DeVito was cut loose. The running back depth includes Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, and Cam Skattebo, while preseason standout Dante “Turbo” Miller couldn't crack the final roster.At wide receiver, Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins, and Gunner Olszewski headline the unit, with a long list of cuts including Montrell Washington, Zac Pascal, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. Tight end surprises include the Giants keeping Theo Johnson, Chris Manhertz, Daniel Bellinger, and Thomas Fidone II, while Greg Dulcich was let go despite flashing in camp.The offensive line locks in Andrew Thomas, Jon Runyan Jr., John Michael Schmitz, Greg Van Roten, Jermaine Eluemunor, plus depth in Marcus Mbow, Evan Neal, and others. Defensive line strength stays with Dexter Lawrence and Roy Robertson-Harris, but Elijah Chatman and Elijah Garcia didn't make the cut.On defense, the Giants keep Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter at OLB and Bobby Okereke, Micah McFadden, Darius Muasau inside. In the secondary, Paulson Adebo, Deonte Banks, Dru Phillips, Cor'Dale Flott, Nic Jones, Art Green, and Korie Black form a deep CB group, while Jevon Hollan, Tyler Nubin, and Dane Belton make up the safety trio. Special teams remain unchanged with Graham Gano, Jamie Gillan, and Casey Kreiter.The Giants' roster is locked in — but are these the right choices heading into Week 1?Thank you for watching & for your support.

Send us a textThe New York Giants preseason is officially in the books, and in this episode of 2 Giants Goofballs, Drew and Rob deliver a complete breakdown of the best and worst Giants players of preseason according to PFF grades, the latest roster cuts, and a look at the franchise's vintage and legacy uniforms returning in 2025. We'll also react to ESPN's Ben Solak ranking the Giants 22nd in “watchability” heading into the season.On offense, the PFF grades highlight some surprising standouts. Bryan Hudson (90.1) topped the entire unit, followed by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (84.7), veteran QB Russell Wilson (81.7), and depth names like Aaron Stinnie and Tommy DeVito. Meanwhile, the struggles of Evan Neal (48.2), Jon Runyan Jr. (47.7), and fullback Elijah Chatman (48.5) raise serious questions as the Giants prepare to finalize their 53-man roster.Defensively, Cor'Dale Flott (92.3) led the team with an elite grade, while the pass rush duo of Brian Burns (83.9) and Trace Ford (83.6) look ready to dominate alongside Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter. But there were plenty of concerns on the defensive line, including poor grades for Jordon Riley (37.7) and Rakeem Nunez-Roches (50.2).The hosts also cover the Giants' recent roster moves. Jordan Bly, Zach Pascal, Montrell Washington, Jaison Williams, Jimmy Morrissey, Dyontae Johnson, K.J. Cloyd, O'Donnell Fortune, and K'Von Wallace have all been released, while TJ Moore was placed on IR after a brutal preseason-ending fibula injury. With the Tuesday cutdown deadline looming, these are just the first of many tough decisions for Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll.The show shifts gears to uniforms, as the Giants announce the return of vintage white throwbacks (11/9 vs Bears, 11/17 vs Packers) and legacy uniforms (11/12 vs 49ers, 12/14 vs Commanders) featuring the classic “GIANTS” helmet. Should New York bring that look back permanently?Finally, we react to ESPN's “watchability” rankings, where the Giants came in at 22nd. Ben Solak praised the defense, especially the pass rush led by Burns, Carter, and Thibodeaux, but questioned the entertainment value of Russell Wilson and Malik Nabers' early usage. The Goofballs crew debates whether the Giants are truly “unwatchable” or poised to shock the NFL in 2025.Call to Action: Giants fans — who was your preseason MVP, and which cut surprised you the most?

Send us a textThe New York Giants' defense is under the spotlight in this episode of 2 Giants Goofballs as Drew and Rob deliver their 53-man roster predictions and react to major news about left tackle Andrew Thomas, who has officially passed his physical and is eligible to return. While Thomas is unlikely to suit up against the Patriots this Thursday, his presence off the PUP list is huge for the Giants' season outlook.We break down the entire defensive depth chart: Dexter Lawrence continuing to anchor the line, Roy Robertson-Harris and Rakeem Nunez-Roches providing veteran stability, and rookies like Darius Alexander and Elijah Chatman fighting to prove themselves. On the edge, the combination of Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux headlines a dangerous pass-rush group that also includes Abdul Carter and Chauncey Golston. At linebacker, Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden remain the core, with Darius Muasau flashing potential alongside veterans Chris Board and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.The cornerback competition is one of the hottest battles of camp, with Deonte Banks trying to lock down CB1 duties while Cor'Dale Flott pushes for reps. Add in Paulson Adebo, Dru Phillips, Tre Hawkins, and Nic Jones, and this secondary is deeper than in years past. Safety also looks strong, led by Jevon Holland, rookie Tyler Nubin, Dane Belton, and K'Von Wallace. Special teams return intact with Graham Gano at kicker, Jamie Gillan at punter, and Casey Kreiter at long snapper.We'll also preview the Giants vs. Patriots preseason matchup, which the hosts will be attending. Expect insights on who needs to step up, what battles could be decided Thursday night, and how the Giants are preparing to finalize the roster.Thank you for watching & for your support.
