Giants Positional Breakdown Series: QB guru Mark Schofield breaks down Daniel Jones
Dan and Nick drop a show they've been waiting all season long to roll out -- an exclusive interview with quarterback guru Mark Schofield -- a man who watched more All-22 on the quarterback position than Nick and Dan have seen of the Giants combined (and that's a whole lot of game tape)! Schofield dives into why Jones was so much better against man than zone coverage, the fumbling issue, Jones' post-snap mental processing, how he will fit what Jason Garrett wants to do on offense, a breakout wide receiver who best fits Jones' skill set and a lot more. This is a jam-packed episode.

Positional Breakdown Series: Giants Offensive Line
Dan and Nick dive into the deep depths of the revamped Giants offensive line. Is this FINALLY the year? We've been sold a bag of goods about the Giants' offensive line rebuild for years now -- a line that hasn't really built back up since it's 2011 collapse -- but the boys in Blue (Banter) are here to tell you that good times are finally ahead. Whether that be right away, later in 2020, or ultimately in 2021 is still up for debate -- and that's exactly what Dan and Nick do. In addition to breaking down the offensive line as a whole, Dan and Nick dive into camp positional battles, individual breakdowns of each lineman, and a whole lot more on this jam-packed episode.

Positional Breakdown Series: Giants Tight Ends
Dan and Nick dive into a tight end position that is guaranteed to be featured in Jason Garrett's offensive system. It's not only a position that will be featured more often in the passing game, but also in a very different way than we've seen from a Giants tight end since the 2013 season. They break down each tight end on the roster individually, why they're buying into the Evan Engram breakout one more time (and why you should be too), the sneaky upside Kaden Smith put on tape, how the offense might utilize Levine Toilolo and a lot more.

Positional Breakdown Series: Giants Wide Receivers
Dan and Nick dive into the Giants positional series breakdowns with the wide receiver corps. First, they take a 30,000-foot view of the position, if the Giants did enough to address it this off-season, how important it is to their success, and how the current roster fits Jason Garrett's projected system. Next, they take a stab at which WR runs the best routes on tape, which WR has the best chance to emerge as Garrett's Miles Austin-Terrell Owens-Dez Bryant, and more. The show features individual breakdowns of every WR and an overall analysis of what to expect.

Dan and Nick break down the running backs on the roster, how the new offensive system will impact each player, why Saquon Barkley will benefit as a runner and receiver, but why concerns over his pass protection are also still real.

Xs and Os Deep Dive into Patrick Graham's Blitz-Heavy, Man-Heavy Defense
Dan and Nick dive deep -- I mean really deep into the Xs and Os of what the expectation for first-year defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's defense should be. They take a look at trends from his defense as it pertains to when he blitzes, how often he blitzes, and the different blitzes he uses. They break down the different kinds of coverages the Giants are expected to use. They also dive into the different kinds of personnel and everything else that will go into making the Giants' defense in 2020 and hopefully beyond. This is probably the deepest dive Big Blue Banter pod yet as it pertains to the Xs and Os -- nitty gritty of the great game of football. Learn more about your ad choices.
