Hello and welcome back to Talking Giants. Today is August 29, 2025. It's Talk of Giants brought to you by Seekek,

and we have a mailbag for you today. Also going to wrap up some notes on the Giants 53 man roster.

We're getting close to the final 53. We got the initial 53. The Giants made two waiver claims as well. One of them

is going straight to IR anyway, so he won't even be on the 53 to start the year. Then he'll be

eligible to come back in week five. We'll go through it. We'll talk about it all. I also did a little

bit of a nose dive that I'm not, I'm not proud of it, you know, you're proud that you're doing good work,

but not happy about the little bit of nose dive I did into the Liz Frank injury and the Liz Frank ligament.

What Andrew Thomas is currently struggling with right now, not currently thrilled about that.

So I'm going to talk about that a little bit and what I found some research and what some

studies shows. As we're trying to figure out if Andrew Thomas is going to come back, he was

still noncommittal about playing week one. And I think during Wednesday's practice, he practiced fully.

Then Thursday he's off. So snip, snap, snip, snip, snip, snip for Andrew Thomas. So we'll

go through a Liz Frank injury.

And then also we will dive into a mailback. I haven't done a mailbag in a minute.

Appreciate everybody hanging out. And this time next week, it will be a football Friday and we'll be getting ready for the Giants to play. I'm jazz, man. I'm jazzed. I'm excited. I want to see this football team out there. And I think most importantly right now, I think all Giants fans can agree with this. I'm excited to root for this team, right?

I'm not just excited for the Giants because they're my favorite team and, oh, you know, we go to the

games, you're a regular season ticket holder, or you watch from home, and then you do your regular

traditions, right? I'm kind of excited to see what this team is going to do. There are

guys on it that we like from top to bottom. You know, I don't even need to go through it all, but

there's guys that you want to root for. There's intrigue about when are they going to move to Jackson Dart.

That's going to be one of the mailback questions that we'll talk about at the end.

But I'm excited to watch this football team go out there because I think for the first time and probably since 2021.
