Talk is Cheap: A New York Giants Podcast

While receivers across the NFL are getting paid, Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t hold out and wants to be on the field despite not having a new contact, so it’s time the Giants give him one. We also give our assessments of the offense and defense from training camp so far, and Giants fans have a lot to be excited about. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It’s been awhile since we’ve recorded and there’s been a lot of discussion around Odell Beckham Jr. (of course). Does anyone really think he’s getting traded? What would fair market value be? We also discuss our takeaways from meeting assistant coaches, free agency recap and welcome Matt Lombardo to the beat. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The NFL Combine is next week, so we’re here to tell you what specifically the Giants should be zeroing in on and what we’ll be keeping an eye out for as reporters. Should the Giants keep their draft pick at #2 or should they trade it for more picks later on? We also talk about potential steals to look out for in the later rounds.

It’s painful to say, but the Eagles are Super Bowl champions.

The Giants have officially hired Pat Shurmur as their head coach and we give our first impressions of him. We also take a look back on his career and review the Giants’ coaching search.

The Giants season is officially over and we’re on to the Dave Gettleman era. He isn’t wasting any time making changes and made his message clear that no B.S. will be tolerated, which is a good start, but the Giants have a long way to go to get back on their feet.

Eli Apple has been at the center of a dismal season for the Giants as of late. First, Dan Duggan broke a story on family strife being at the root of his tumultuous season. Shortly after, Landon Collins called him a cancer and we learned of some of Apple’s issues with coaches. Now, after his infamous comment, he’s been suspended. Let’s discuss… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out informat...

The Giants’ 34-29 loss to the Eagles made for an exciting game, but not pulling off the upset was for the best as it helps preserve a high draft pick. Eli Manning played great and wants to be a Giant in 2018, but what does that mean for the head coach and GM searches? We also discuss the special teams debacle.

There's nothing to lose, so why aren't the Giants starting Davis Webb at quarterback for the final three games? Joe Giglio, James Kratch and Dan Duggan try to make sense of starting Eli Manning after his curtain call game. Plus, discussion on Dave Gettleman as a GM candidate, and the messy Eli Apple situation.

In the aftermath of Ben McAdoo and Jerry Reese being fired, we question John Mara’s reasoning behind their dismissals and wonder why he didn’t stop Eli Manning's benching ahead of time. How will interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo handle the QB situation going forward? We also discuss possible GM and head coach candidates. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

James Kratch, Dan Duggan and Joe Giglio react to the stunning news that Eli Manning will be benched for Geno Smith and eventually Davis Webb. Come for the analysis, stay for the hot fire spewed.

We dissect the Giants' stunning win over the Kansas City Chiefs and what it means moving forward for the rest of the season.

Unlike the Giants, we showed up this week for another episode. We’re running out of ways to call the team pathetic and embarrassing, but they keep hitting a new rock bottom every game. Ben McAdoo is a dead man walking, so why not just do the inevitable and fire him in-season? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Giants gave up 51 points in a blowout loss to the Rams and are a complete embarrassment. Changes are coming to the franchise and people are going to lose their jobs. For Ben McAdoo, it's a matter of when, not if. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Giants general manager Jerry Reese addressed the media for the first time since training camp on Tuesday. He started the press conference by taking the blame for the Giants’ failures, but proceeded to blame everyone else. We take a deep dive into the entirety of his comments, focusing on the most ridiculous ones. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad c...

The Giants got a desperately-needed win in Denver, but the team isn’t fixed and it’s unlikely they’ll turn the season around. The running game looked good, but the receiving corps is depleted. Despite changes to the offensive line and play calling duties, it will be difficult to maintain the same success they had Sunday night. We also discuss what came out of the owners meeting and look ahead to t...

There are not enough adjectives to describe just how bad the 2017 New York Giants are. And it's almost impossible to believe just how much the franchise has been flipped upside-down in the span of five weeks. We try to make sense out of what happens from here on out, and whether anyone's job is safe. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

After falling to 0-4, the Giants have proven they are just not a good football team. With an unfavorable schedule, can they pull off a respectable season or will they end with a 3-13 record? Should they start playing younger players to prepare for the future and help secure a good draft pick? Ben McAdoo is starting to feel some heat and we discuss his future with the team. We also look ahead to th...

The Giants have fallen to 0-3 after a demoralizing loss on a last-second 61-yard field goal against the Eagles, and the season is quickly slipping away. Despite making some changes to the game plan and being in a position to win, they still found a way to give the game away. Does Ben McAdoo have control of the team? We also address the controversy surrounding Odell Beckham Jr. See acast.com/privac...
