Mario Jerez and Erin Summers are joined by Saints safety Justin Reid for an in-depth conversation as training camp approaches. Justin reflects on his unique football journey, from growing up in Ascension Parish and starring at Dutchtown High School to choosing Stanford over LSU and eventually becoming a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid discusses the influence of his family, including his mother's remarkable work ethic and his early passion for soccer, which nearly became his primary sport before football took center stage. Justin also opens up about life away from the field, sharing his interests in photography, chess, and other personal passions that help him stay balanced during the NFL season. On the football side, Reid provides insight into the Saints' offseason preparations, his growing role as a veteran leader, and the benefits of another year in Brandon Staley's defensive system. He discusses the impact of players such as Chase Young, Justin Blackmon, Kool-Aid McKinstry and Jonas Sanker, while also evaluating the continued development of quarterback Tyler Shough. Reid shares his thoughts on what Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne can bring to the offense and explains how familiarity and continuity could help elevate the Saints defense in 2026. The conversation also touches on the NFC South race, New Orleans' rivalry with Atlanta, comparisons between Brandon Staley and Steve Spagnuolo, and Reid's approach to blocking out outside noise and “fabricated hearsay” as the Saints prepare for a pivotal season.

The Chiefs’ defense is loaded with talent, but who will ultimately determine whether Kansas City gets back to championship form? Matt Derrick and Nick Jacobs rank the defenders who must make the biggest impact in 2026, from established stars expected to lead the way to young players poised for breakout seasons. They debate which position groups carry the most pressure, how the Chiefs’ rookie additions fit into Steve Spagnuolo’s defense, and which players could be the difference between another good defense and an elite one.

Building an all-time Giants coaching staff means stacking Parcells, Lombardi, Belichick, Landry, Coughlin, Spagnuolo, Steve Owen, Sean Payton, Mike Pope, and more — but the cost is brutal: real Giants legends get pushed into smaller roles or left out completely.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Who belongs on the greatest New York Giants coaching staff ever? The answer depends on whether you value Giants-only impact, total NFL résumé, championships, innovation, or clean role fit.Drew and Rob start with Bill Parcells as head coach, but Steve Owen's Giants résumé keeps the conversation from being automatic. Parcells has the modern Super Bowl weight and the franchise-shaping presence, while Owen brings the longest Giants head-coaching résumé and pre-Super Bowl championship history. Jim Lee Howell also gets major credit as the CEO-style coach who had Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry on the same staff.Does total football immortality matter more than the exact Giants job a coach held?That question drives the offensive staff. Lombardi is the obvious offensive coordinator, Allie Sherman gets tied into the Giants coaching tree, Sean Payton lands at quarterback coach, Mike Pope is the tight ends lock, and Steve Owen's playing background gives him a place with the offensive line. The uncomfortable debate comes with names like Ray Handley and Tom Coughlin: one was a rough head coach but valuable assistant, while the other is too important to Giants history to leave out.The defensive side becomes even more stacked. Bill Belichick gets the defensive coordinator role, Tom Landry still has to be honored for his Giants impact and defensive innovation, and Steve Spagnuolo lands as defensive line/pass-rush coordinator because the staff is that overloaded. Romeo Crennel, Marty Schottenheimer, John Fox, Earl “Potty” Potteiger, Mike Nolan, and John Harbaugh all create different arguments about résumé, role fit, and how much Giants connection should matter.Who got punished by how loaded this list is?The episode closes on the real problem with building an all-time Giants staff: there are more qualified names than available jobs. Some fans will value Parcells and Belichick. Others will argue harder for Landry, Owen, Flaherty, Fassel, Reeves, or another old-school Giants figure. That is what makes this debate work — there is no painless version of the final staff.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

It's been a busy offseason for the Chiefs Defense. With numerous players coming and going, where do we think the Defense stands right now?Jeff Chadiha (NFL Network/NFL.com/@JeffriChadiha), Sam McDowell (Kansas City Star/KCStar.com/@SamMcDowell11) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810 - WHB/810whb.com/@SorenPetro) take inventory of the Chiefs Defense and discuss what the expectations should be for Steve Spagnuolo's Defense this year.- What are the realistic expectations for the Defense?- Can this Defense be better in '26?- Will the Pass Rush improve?- Should Chris Jones be better?- How much pressure is on Mansoor Delane?- What part of the Defense is in the best shape?- Which part is the most concerning?
In the first hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the Avalanche are about to take on the Minesota Wild in game five tonight and with John Davis in for Mike the guys get into what a win would mean for the Avs and who should be in net. Some of the Broncos games have been released including Broncos vs Chiefs on Monday night football so John and Stoke get into the potential matchup between Davis Webb and Steve Spagnuolo.
In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, John Davis is in for Mike Evans and the guys start to get ready for week one at Kansas City and take a look at the matchup between Davis Webb and Steve Spagnuolo, how will Davis Webb’s experience as a quarterback help him against one of the best defensive coordinators of all time. The Avalanche look to close out the Minesota Wild tonight and Stoke has some reasons to be concerned. And the guys close out the hour by remembering some of their favorite role players from teams they played on.
Matt Derrick and Nick Jacobs break down the Chiefs’ selection of R Mason Thomas and what it means for Kansas City’s defense. The duo dives into his skill set, how he fits within Steve Spagnuolo’s system, and whether he checks the boxes as a true Spags guy. They also discuss the potential upside that made him appealing to the Chiefs — along with the concerns that could make this a boom-or-bust pick. Is this a perfect scheme fit or a gamble worth taking? Matt and Nick give their full reaction.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The bold Chiefs do it again moving up from the 9th pick to number 6 to draft the "smooth" Monsoor Delane out of LSU. This gifted corner is expected to be a much more impactful corner than Trent McDuffie and will save the team $80 million over the next four years versus their former CB1. And wait until you hear him. He's got natural leader written all over him. Long gone are the days of sitting and just drafting the highest rated player on the board. These championship caliber Chiefs are relentless in getting the player they need. And they did it again. Delane was surprised and thrilled but the second happiest man Thursday was defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo who had a rough off season watching his player let go to make more money elsewhere. KU is borrowing even more money to run their athletics department and it feels more and more like how DC works. We have some incredible listener emails to share that could bring a tear to your eye and/or make you laugh. The SPLC scam is particularly alarming to Ron Freeman, author of the book "Rethinking Race." He shares his thoughts. And we have a song for you to finish up that's fitting based on one of the stories we featured about my childhood earlier in the week.

A wild Week 12 across the NFL. Matthew Stafford led a dominating performance of the LA Rams over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who lost Baker Mayfield during the first half. Sean McVay has the Rams rolling and in the top spot in the NFC. The Dallas Cowboys came back on the Philadelphia Eagles and knocked them off. The Eagles still lead the NFC East but Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and AJ Brown still seem lost. Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the other hand, do not seem lost together and are lining up one of the best NFL offenses in the league. The Kansas City Chiefs had a comeback of their own, holding the Indianapolis Colts offense scoreless on their last 4 drives to keep their playoff chances alive. Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor ran into Steve Spagnuolo's buzzsaw defense and looked very different than the dominant offense they looked like in their previous games. The Patriots defeated the Bengals, the Bears got past the Steelers and the Lions escaped the Giants and we cover all that and more in our Week 12 reactions!

Boomer & Gio react to the Giants officially firing Brian Daboll while keeping Joe Schoen a decision Gio finds puzzling.

Jerry's update features Daboll reaction, Eagles-Packers highlights, and a rare Rangers win at home. It's officially all about Jaxson Dart and 2026 for Big Blue.
Boomer & Gio react to the Giants officially firing Brian Daboll but somehow keeping Joe Schoen. Gio calls it “a package breakup that makes no sense,” while Boomer looks ahead to who could replace him, from Steve Spagnuolo to big-name college coaches. The guys question Schoen's future, debate whether Jaxson Dart was really a Daboll guy, and react to Tiki Barber saying the culture changed under Daboll. Then, the Giants' season gets even juicier they're starring in Hard Knocks: In Season with the entire NFC East. Gio floats Jon Gruden as a wild replacement idea, Boomer wonders if Zac Taylor could be next to go, and Michelle Beadle goes head-to-head with Stephen A. Smith in a fiery media showdown. Finally, could the Giants actually trade for their next head coach? Boomer thinks Mike Tomlin might be worth a call.
