Hello, welcome back to Talking Giants.

0:02.0

Today is March 5th, 2020.

0:22.3

We had Dan Duggan of the Athletic on. Good conversation. Talk to everything, Free Agency, the Giants current structure, Joe Shane, Dawn of Ponti, who they're going to target a free agency, and everything like that. We will be live next week, Monday night at around 8 o'clock, 8.15 p.m. Sean and I to recap day one of Giants Free Agency and then every other move that they make besides that that's big, big time, we'll be live for, we'll have an episode for

0:26.8

it, two, three episodes coming your way next week. But for now, here is Dan Duggan of the

0:31.5

athletic. I hope you enjoy. All right, welcome back to the show and we want to welcome on Dan

0:36.3

Duggan of The Athletic.

0:38.2

Dan, thank you for joining me. How was the Combine? How's your life? How you been? Thanks for coming on. Yeah, it's good. It's like the combine is kind of a necessary evil. It's like, you know, you kind of get a little too much on that off-season mode where you're just like working from home all the time. So then you get back, you know, into society, whatever you want,

0:55.7

I don't know what you call that NFL society there where it's like, mode we're just like working from home all the time so then you get back uh you know into society

0:55.0

whatever you want to kind of know what you call that NFL society there where it's like late

0:59.2

about the draft i like give 10% of my attention to the draft moment because free agency is obviously

right around the corner.

1:13.2

That's my main focus because again, we'll talk to Harbaugh and Shane and all these people

1:17.4

plenty of times between now and the draft.

1:19.5

That's the last opportunity to talk to them about free agency.

1:21.9

And of course, all the agents are in town, executives and scouts and stuff from other

1:25.7

teams.

1:26.2

So to me, it's a super valuable time to kind of set the table. And now I wish there was like another week because I feel like I'm trying to cram all that reporting and follow-ups I need to do into this week. Because obviously, you know, once Monday hits, a lot of that stuff will either be coming to fruition or old news. So trying to get as much lined up before Monday and then, you know,

1:45.1

sort of like, once they hit the starters gun there at noon on Monday, all bets are off and

1:48.7

everything will come into focus.

1:51.3
