Summary
BT & Sal are joined by NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, who immediately sets the Giants debate on fire by placing the blame for Jaxson Dart's injuries squarely on recently fired head coach Brian Daboll. Baldinger argues that Daboll's play-calling, specifically the reckless use of read-option plays and poor blocking assignments, physically endangered Dart—a pattern he believes also "ruined" Daniel Jones.
The conversation pivots to the Giants' future, with Baldinger critiquing the organization's current structure compared to winning franchises like the Rams and Eagles. He offers a list of fiery coaching candidates, including Lane Kiffin (who he believes would maximize Dart's potential) and Bill Belichick (but NOT as GM), while questioning the merit of another failed coach.

| 0:55.6 | No question. There's no question about it. I mean, first of all, they had a play in the first half |
