Welcome back. It's the big blue banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co. It's Nick Falado. They've got a special guest. We don't do a lot of guests during training camp time.

But the other day, we mentioned Emory on the show. And a couple of you in the comments are like,

what about trying to get Emory on? And I know Emory a little bit. We met last year, but we've been talking online before that. And just to hit him up and I'm like, you want to talk Giants with us a little bit? He's a nice guy. So he said yes. So here we are talking Giants football. He's Emery Hunt. You can still get the 2025 draft guide at football game plan.com backslash 2025 draft guide.

Let me tell you within that draft guide at football game plan.com backslash 2025 draft guide. Let me tell you,

within that draft guide is over a thousand scouting reports. And I remember two years ago,

just needing to know these Giants UDFAs. You need to know something about these Giants UDFAs.

And you could Google, but it's not the same. You get an actual scouting report. And he puts in a

ton of time

into the players that you are seeing now on the Giants competing for roster spots. Now look, we got neighbors down. We've got Wondo Robinson out. We're going to have some UDFAs competing for these wide receiver spots, eventually getting even some first team rep. So it's great stuff to know. glad to have Emery on the show. He also does a bunch of work for CBS Sports HQ near and dear to my heart. And you can follow him on Twitter at FBALL game plan. That's football, basically game plan. So Emery, thanks for joining us tonight. How are you doing, my friend? I'm doing fine, man. I appreciate y'all. Have me on. Yeah, I'm glad to have you on and go ahead, Nick.

Now I was just going to say, Emery, it's, uh, we saw, I saw you at training camp a few days ago. It's great to have you on the podcast. Thank you so much for joining. But I wanted to ask you, since you're not necessarily a New York Giants person, somebody who covers the New York Giants per se. Now, if anybody's watching on YouTube, you see Emery Shirts, his czar of the playbook.

The dude is proficient when it comes to the NFL and

knowing the X's and O's and all of that. So, Emery, I just wanted to ask you, just from a vibe

standpoint, since you've been at training camp the last couple years, how is 2025 different

than 2024 and 2023 when it comes to just the overall

feeling in New York Giants Canyon? You know, and I put out that tweet, it was basically

referring to how it didn't feel like everyone was walking on eggshells around the building,

around the facility. Players seemed a little bit loose.

Dayball seems a little bit loose more so than he did in years previous,

maybe outside of the first year he got there in 2022.

So everything just seems a little bit more relaxed.

And then when you kind of combine that with what we saw in the field,
