Blue Wire.

Welcome back. This is the Big Blue Banter, New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co-ist Nick Falado. Today, we want to decide to do something a little different than we've done maybe in past seasons.

We're going to do 10 things that we think about the Giants after week one.

Now, these are going to be things that we think now that we might have not thought before

this season or that we weren't as sure on or as certain on or as enthused on, however we

we want to phrase it before the season.

So you won't hear something like

oh my god we learn now brian dable has a big old set of balls when he went for it on two

and all the other things because we kind of knew that going in i think we both speculated

based on everything in his track record in his history based on what he said in his presser and

i know look shouldn't bank everything on what these guys saying their presser d Dave Gellman said he's going to fix the offensive line in his first job of duty. But ultimately, I wasn't a big surprise to me. So we're going to get into other things that might be, I don't want to say surprises, but just things that we think now that we maybe weren't thinking for whatever reason before the season.

So, Nick, before we do that, I wanted to know, how are you doing today?

How are you feeling after you, you didn't break the Aaron Robinson news, but you gave a little

medical report via text about the Aaron Robinson news.

Yeah, I definitely did not break that news.

And it's unfortunate for the kicks. I felt like he had a really good game. And I'm not really 100% certain how the Giants are going to replace him. They signed Justin Lane. You have Cordell Flot. Is Flot ready if they're missing all that time in training camp and also being a predominant slot defender at LSU? I doubt it. So it's going to be a vulnerability. We thought it was a

vulnerability heading in to week one. I felt like Aaron Robinson, like I said, played well. But

that's something that is scary. And yeah, in terms of the appendectomy that he had, I'm not

100% certain what kind of surgery he had. I went to the East Orange VA. I didn't have the

luxury of top-notch elite medical doctors. So hopefully he's back on the football field. We saw Joe Burrow. His ruptured. I'm not even sure if Aaron Robinson's appendix ruptured. His ruptured and he was out of practice for about two and a half weeks and didn't take contact for over a month. So I have no idea, not a doctor. We'll never claim to be a doctor. For me, I mean, I'm not a professional football player.

And I, for over a month. So I have no idea, not a doctor. We'll never claim to be a doctor. For me, I mean, I'm not a professional football player and I don't, uh, you have contact, but I was told I couldn't lift for six weeks. Now, of course I did, but I didn't like do legs and squat or do anything that's going to. I thought of course I did. I waited a little bit, though. You know, who knows?
