Josh Tupou gives the Giants another big veteran body inside, but the sacrifice is clear: this still may not be enough to fix a defensive line room that already needed help. Eddie Goldman's workout and Tupou's signing show the Giants know the problem is real, but the question is whether these moves are actual answers or just late-May patchwork.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants do enough by signing Josh Tupou? Not yet — Tupou helps the depth chart, but Drew and Rob argue this move feels more like a band-aid than a real fix unless the Giants find another meaningful defensive line answer.Drew and Rob open with the Giants' continued search for interior defensive line help after working out veteran Eddie Goldman and signing Josh Tupou. Goldman is framed as an older but potentially fresher veteran because of the time he missed earlier in his career, while Tupou is treated as a massive run-stopping body who gives the Giants familiarity and size, but not necessarily a full solution. The core debate is simple: credit the Giants for finally reacting to a roster hole, but do not pretend a depth signing fixes the whole room.The Tupou discussion turns into the biggest football argument of the episode. Drew walks through Tupou's size, Bengals background, Ravens connection, limited recent production, and the obvious question of whether a player with six games over the last two seasons can be sold as a real answer. The hosts land in a practical middle ground: the signing is better than doing nothing, but Giants fans should not treat it like the defensive line problem is solved.Is this actual roster improvement, or just the best available move in late May?The show also covers Francis Mauigoa officially signing his rookie deal, leaving Arvell Reese as the last Giants rookie still unsigned. The hosts are not overly worried about Reese because rookie contracts are largely slotted, but they do spend time on why Mauigoa's edge and attitude make him an interesting fit at guard once padded practices begin.Should Giants fans care that Arvell Reese is still unsigned, or is this just normal rookie-contract timing?Later, Drew and Rob react to Mike Florio's theory about Joe Schoen's extension and whether John Harbaugh needs Schoen around as a potential scapegoat if the season goes wrong. The hosts strongly push back on that idea, arguing that Harbaugh does not fit the profile of a coach looking for a built-in excuse, and that if Harbaugh truly wanted Schoen gone, the Giants likely would have moved on already.The episode wraps with broader Giants roster talk, front-office frustration, and some classic Goofball tangents, including the hosts reacting to chat comments, joking about old friendships, weight loss, former Giants receiver Parris Campbell retiring, and a quick side conversation on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Big Sal is sitting in his recliner trying to enjoy some smoked whitefish when he hears Colin Cowherd and Mike Florio lose their minds on national radio. Cowherd calls Caleb Williams the third-best quarterback in the entire NFL. Florio says he'd take Williams over Patrick Mahomes because of age and contract value. Big Sal's blood pressure goes through the roof, and he's not waiting until tomorrow to let Pack Nation know exactly how he feels. In this unfiltered Let Me Tell You Something rant, Big Sal delivers one of his most passionate takedowns yet: He breaks out the legendary power-washer analogy to explain why flashy "cap hit" and "big-time throw" numbers don't mean a damn thing when the division gets cold in December. He torches the idea that a rookie deal and some highlight-reel athleticism automatically make a quarterback elite while real winners like Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are still playing. He warns Bears fans and national media that they're standing on very thin ice, especially now that Micah Parsons is in Green Bay and ready to test that supposed durability. He reminds everyone that you don't win Super Bowls with spreadsheets and projections — you win them with quarterbacks who don't fold when the pressure actually hits.
