Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banser. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. Joined as always my co-ist, Nick Falado. Tonight, we're here to break down the Giants offense on the all-22 coaches film. We will run you through every single play. If you haven't been here before for this, you're just showing up for the playoffs. Welcome. You're going to like what you're about to see because you're going to get to see the coaches film from both the sideline and end zone angle on this game. And this is a hell of a fun film to watch. I mean, let's be honest, this is the best I've seen the offense look. I was thinking about it in a playoff game, certainly since 2011 against the 49ers, where you lie through for like 311.

And quite honestly, this was probably better than at game.

This is honestly the best I've ever seen the offense look besides maybe I guess the Vikings 2000 game.

But even then, I feel like this was better when you just think about it.

I adjusted to the opponent, I understand.

The Vikings were like 28th in DVOA. And even like the Jets and Patriots ripped through the air against the Vikings this season. But still, just overall, taking out that contest is the bestest look. The Giants punted twice in this game on both of those punts. There was a scenario where they weren't going to have to punt. the first was richie James wide open over the middle. Ball gets bad at the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, he's wide open, catching it, likely taking it for another 30 to 40 yards or more. And then obviously the Slayton drop, which, as we'll see on the tape in a bit, I mean, he might have housed that. I don't know. So, but Slane has the kind of speed where if he makes one cut and gets vertical there and puts, plants his foot and gets, it's a chance he houses that. So the only times they were ever stopped were on a drop and a batted ball to line of scrimmage, both to wide open receivers, both with balls accurately thrown. So it was almost a flawless game. We talked about yesterday. It was a flawless game from Daniel Jones. It was almost a flawless game from the entire offense. It's just kind of absurd to think about. I just want to think about like put this into context. Nick, we were the worst offensive team in the NFL last year. I understand some of that was with Glenn and from. The average 15.2 points per game. They were worse. They were dead. They were near the bottom in every single thing.

DVOA, EPA, red zone offense, their down offense. And then even if you go back a year before that, they were one of the worst offense in the NFL in 2021. They were really bad in 2020. They were really bad in 2019. They were really bad in 2018. They were really bad in 2017. They were really bad. Or 2019 people think they were decent, but they really weren't.

If you look at the numbers, they were just had some passing touchdowns and they beat up on some bad teams. 2018, 2017, 2016. Really, you got to go back to 2015 for the last time this offense had any kind of life. And now you're talking about a game where not only they have life, they put together a dominant performance where they basically didn't miss chewing up chunks of yardage play after after, play after play, man. And it's just crazy to see this. You talked a little bit about this before the pot, so I now want to turn it over to you, Nick, about what you thought, just how the progression has gone and where they're at now within this offense versus where they were at the beginning of the season. It's funny, Dan, because look back at the beginning of

this season, if we just want to throw back, we were talking, and I remember, someone could dig it up. We were like, man, this Brian Dable offense, you know, we're not sure what it's going to look like, but it's probably going to be a lot of quick hitting passes, probably a lot of 10 personnel, which we hardly saw at all this entire season, just get the football into Goddarius, Tony, and Wondell Robinson's

hand and make everything a little bit more simplified for Daniel Jones, because Jason Garrett's

offense was just not a way to maximize a young quarterback's skill set. And here we are in the

wild card round. And that's exactly what we're getting. We're getting a quick hitting offense where Daniel Jones can make that one read. If he likes it, he can take it. If not, he can run. And that's exactly what he's doing. And I feel like the offense is just so cohesive in the sense that all of these routes feed off of each other. All of these routes are either layered if it's horizontal to vertical or you use

Sakewan Barkley out of the backfield, which is something that we have seen so much, Dana.

And we're about to go through the film.

How many times did Sakewan Barclay, who could be either a line in shotgun or pistol,
