Dan and Nick are joined by The Ringer's Danny Kelly to break down the Giants' Week 8 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. They discuss Seattle's surprising start, how in the world Geno Smith is playing at this level, their ridiculously productive 2022 rookie class -- one that includes two starting offensive tackles (Charles Cross, Abe Lucas) a lockdown CB1 and their RB1. They get into more depth about Cross, a prospect the Giants considered in the 2022 Draft and on Walker -- a running back who has a chance to split this game wide open against a Giants defense that has allowed 5.7 YPC.

Dan and Nick break down the All-22 coaches film of the Giants defense against the Jaguars in Week 7. As promised, they follow the film and refuse to sugarcoat it – point blank – the defense was uncharacteristically undisciplined and it lead to major breakdowns in run defense and in coverage. These breakdowns stemmed primarily from the second level play from the LBs. They go over struggles from Jaylon Smith and Tae Crowder, lapses in coverage, a total lack of pressure, Doug Pederson winning the chess match and several plays where the defense wasn’t aligned/ready just before the snap before breaking down some of the great reps from Adoree Jackson, Dexter Lawrence and others – and then finally handing out superlatives: best player, highest-effort player, unheralded player and grades for both the pass rush and run defense.
