Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Joined as always by my co-ist Nick Philado back in my lovely hotel room over here.

I don't have a good mic. I since have fixed the lamp issue over here.

Lighting should be a tad better, but not as good as the studio.

We recorded the offensive film review from earlier today. But today we're here. Tonight we're here after the Monday night football game, which I'm pissed about because I was hoping the Cowboys will lose that game. And Brandon's Daly, Brandon's Daly. And I know Justin Herbert had a bad game too. So that's definitely for sure. But that sucks. But we're here to review the Giants defense on tape in week six.

This is the breakout performance of the year from the Giants defense, the breakout performance

from Bobby O'Caricay's career. Even dating back to his career with the Colts,

he never had a game this dominant, this good. We're going to talk a lot about that.

It was honestly a

culmination and somewhat of a breakout for Micah McFadden as well, who I think had potentially

the best game of his career overall. And then Wink-Marnedale, I think called the best game he's

called so far in 20-20-8, maybe dating back to last year when you factor in everything,

Josh Allen on the other side of the football,

holding them to five-yard to play despite being on the field for what felt like 73,000 possessions.

They just felt like the Giants just kept coming back on the field on defense and kept forcing punts or turnovers.

So, Nick, there's a lot to talk about today.

But let's start with a few things like we did

on the offensive podcast about the scheme, about the personnel, about the matchups from that

standpoint.

So I'm going to read off to you a few stats and we'll go from there.

The Giants defense had 59 total snaps, Nick.

47 of those were in nickel.
