Dan and Nick dive into the “All-5 film” (you’ll get the joke when you listen to today’s show) of the Giants' blue-white scrimmage. Why it’s time to stop sleeping on a Lorenzo Carter year 3 breakout in a new role in Graham’s defensive system he supposedly loves. Why you shouldn’t panic because the defensive front was so far ahead of the offensive line. Why it’s not surprising to see Darius Slayton draw so much target love from Daniel Jones (but also why Jones ball placement needs to be sharper). The really good news on Ryan Connelly and a lot more in a jam packed show breaking down everything to know from the scrimmage. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dan and Nick dive deep into everything that developed during the Giants’ 150-minute full-padded scrimmage. From Daniel Jones’ up and down day but why the biggest takeaway from him was a positive one, to a bounce-back day from the defensive backs (highlighted by an incredibly athletic interception by -- you guessed it -- Darnay Holmes -- again), Julian Love making staking his claim with the first-team offense, continued signs of the Jones-Slayton and Jones-Smith (Kaden) rapport, Dexter Lawrence’s dominant scrimmage and everything else that stood out.
