| 0:00.0 | What Darren Waller offers is unique. |
| 0:06.9 | There are no tight ends other than maybe Kyle Pitts who have that type of athletic upside. |
| 0:11.9 | Not even Travis Kelsey has that athletic upside. |
| 0:14.2 | And with the offensive mind of Mike Kafka and Brian Daibble, with Darren Waller and the development and growth of Daniel Jones, |
| 0:20.0 | I really think we're going to see something that we saw maybe in what? |
| 0:23.8 | Last time we saw it was 20-20, that type of Darren Waller when he was with the Raiders here in New York now. |
| 0:29.3 | And speaking of Daniel Bellinger, he's another guy who made our stock up list for this podcast. |
| 0:33.9 | Daniel Bellinger apparently catching everything in practice, just like Darren Waller, a lot of catches from Daniel Jones today in the second practice. Hasn't dropped the thing. And remember, David Severson brought this up on the last podcast. Daniel Belanger won the best catch rates we ever seen really for a tight end rookie. And if you remember back to last season, he didn't drop many passes. And that was the case today, practice of day, those hands are great. |
| 0:56.4 | And in addition to that, according to Pat Trana, who was at practice, she said he looks a little |
| 1:00.4 | bit quicker out there. |
| 1:01.1 | That doesn't surprise me. |
| 1:02.1 | He converted about nine pounds. |
| 1:03.4 | And I know I said this in a previous podcast. |
| 1:04.8 | People are like, no, that's not the technical term. |
| 1:06.6 | I guess he didn't convert it, but he replaced about nine pounds. He's the same weight, except he's added muscle is the best way to describe this. He's toned his body down. He looks, you know, he's worked his ass off in the offseason like any other athlete would, but, you know, he takes it to another level. And he's quicker out there right now. And he's getting open easier for Daniel Jones. And he's presenting himself. And I think what's really interesting about this Beer's situation is a lot of people assumed when they traded for Waller, it's going to take a, you know, Bellinger's role will take a step back, but I'm not so sure because if you run 12 personnel with Bellinger and Waller, it's essentially running 11 personnel out there. Darren Waller moves like a wide receiver. He's used like a wide receiver. They're motioning him to the backfield for God's sake. They're going to use them outside on the boundary and this slot is the big slot. |
| 1:28.1 | Like it's sake. They're going to use him outside on the boundary. And this slot is the big |
| 1:47.1 | slot. It's essentially 11 personnel with Waller and Bellinger on the field. And I think we're going to end up seeing a lot of Bellinger. Will his Snapchat be exactly as high as it was last year on a per game basis because he was like insanely high snapshot. |
| 1:42.5 | Maybe not, but I don't know if it's going to be too far off, Nick, because I feel like |
| 1:46.5 | they have just as much of an 11 personnel. he was like insanely high snapshot last year. Maybe not. But I don't know if it's going to be too far off, Nick, |
| 2:01.5 | because I feel like they have just as much of an 11 personnel look with both them on the field. I also think one more point on that. Actually, go ahead and then I'll get into that. I was just going to say it just gives you options as an offensive play call. And like we said with David Seiburtson as well, you're putting the ball in the defensive coordinator's court. |
| 2:00.0 | What personnel are you going to roll out there? |
| 2:01.4 | And this is going to be a week to week phenomenon here, how the Giants handle their offensive personnel packages because you have players, like I said on previous podcast, Paris Campbell, who can play a running back type of role. You have players like Darren Waller. Your 13 personnel package may be more athletic than some other team's 12 personnel packages with guys like |
