In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," hosts Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates, rumors, and news surrounding Giants, as well as important developments from around the NFL. From Hall of Fame discussions to injury reports and Week 5 NFL picks, this episode covers it all for Giants fans.
The episode kicks off with exciting news about four former Giants who are advancing in the selection process for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Giants legends Charlie Conerly, Carl Banks, Ottis "O.J." Anderson, and Everson Walls are among 60 former NFL players being considered in the Seniors category. The hosts reminisce about their impactful careers and contributions to the Giants. They delve into each player's accomplishments, including Conerly’s 1959 MVP season, Banks’ role in the Super Bowl victories, Anderson’s MVP performance in Super Bowl XXV, and Walls’ ball-hawking skills that helped the Giants win another championship.
Next, the guys celebrate two current Giants who made the first-quarter All-Rookie Team as listed by The Athletic’s Dan Brugler. Rookie WR Malik Nabers has been a breakout star, leading the league in receptions and racking up big plays, while safety Tyler Nubin has been a tackling machine, although he's still adjusting to the NFL’s speed in coverage. While Nabers and Nubin have shown tremendous potential, fellow rookies Dru Phillips and Darrius Muasau received honorable mentions, adding even more excitement for Giants fans about the team’s future.
Injuries have been a major storyline for the Giants, and this episode covers the latest updates on several key players. WR Nabers remains in concussion protocol, while RB Singletary and CB Adoree' Jackson are battling groin and calf issues, respectively. Dru Phillips and edge rusher Brian Burns are also limited, raising concerns about how these injuries could impact the Giants' performance in their upcoming game against the Seahawks. On the Seahawks side, former Giants Leonard Williams and Julian Love are listed with injuries, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup. The hosts break down how these injuries could affect both teams and what it might mean for the Giants' chances of pulling off a win.
As WRs Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson face injury concerns, Drew and Rob speculate whether this could open the door for Jalin Hyatt to finally prove himself on the field. The Giants coaching staff has been hesitant to trust Hyatt so far, but with limited options, the rookie wide receiver might get his shot. The guys discuss Hyatt's downfield abilities and how Daniel Jones’ struggles throwing deep could be a factor in this decision. They also mention how TE Theo Johnson and WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton could see increased playing time in this game due to the injuries.
Wrapping up the episode, the crew dives into their Week 5 NFL picks.
