We kick things off with a major concern for Giants fans—rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers has been added to the injury list with a knee injury. Nabers has been limited in practice, raising questions about his availability for Sunday’s critical game. The Giants desperately need him on the field as they look to bounce back from their Week 1 performance. Drew and Rob discuss how the team might handle this situation and what it means for the offensive game plan.
Next, we dive into the unfolding situation with linebacker Isaiah Simmons, who’s expressed frustration over his lack of playing time. Simmons had zero snaps in Week 1, and his comments to the media make it clear he’s unhappy with his role. Having signed a one-year, $2M deal with the Giants after being on the free-agent market for a month, Simmons expected to have a bigger impact. Drew and Rob debate whether Simmons is right to speak out or if he should let his play in practice do the talking. With his career already labeled a disappointment after being a high draft pick, this season could make or break his future in the NFL. How should the Giants handle this situation, and will Simmons see the field soon?
We also take a look at comments made by Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard following the Giants' crushing 28-6 loss to Minnesota. Greenard admitted that the Vikings defense felt bad for Daniel Jones as they completely shut down the Giants’ offense. This opens up a bigger discussion on the state of the Giants' offensive line and the team’s overall performance. In response to these remarks, Giants head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka strongly defended Jones, praising his toughness and resilience despite the early season struggles. Defensive lineman Rakeem "Nacho" Nunez-Roches also chimed in, comparing the situation to a parent watching their child struggle and urging Giants fans to support their quarterback. Drew and Rob discuss the scrutiny Jones faces and whether he can rebound from the Week 1 disaster.
In an exciting twist, the rumor mill is buzzing with speculation about Bill Belichick’s potential interest in coaching the Giants. Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman stirred the pot by suggesting that if the Giants’ head coaching job ever opens up, Belichick could be intrigued. Known for his deep ties to the Giants organization, where he began his coaching career, Belichick has often spoken fondly of his time with the team. Drew and Rob debate the feasibility of this rumor and how Belichick could reshape the future of New York’s football franchise.
We wrap up the show by making our Week 2 NFL picks. Drew and Rob break down the key matchups, including the Giants' pivotal NFC East showdown against the Washington Commanders. They’ll give their insights on the spreads, over/under predictions, and who they think will come out on top. Can the Giants turn things around, or will Washington take advantage of New York’s shaky start? From the high-powered Bills-Dolphins clash to the Buccaneers vs. Lions game, they’ll analyze all the key games this weekend and what it means for the Giants in the larger NFC picture.
