Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to The Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bizzan.

Guys, before we get started, just want to thank Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern, located in 9600 Pacific Avenue in Diamond Beach, just between Wildwood Crest and Cape May. They have a huge selection of beers, 21 on tap, 18 widescreen TVs and the NFL Sunday ticket. So you can watch your favorite NFL team while scarfing down some of the delicious appetizers on their menu, including oysters straight off the boat and onto your plate, Mahi-Mahi Tacos, and my personal favorite, the Mardi Gras shrimp. So if you find yourself vacationing in the South Jersey Shore, head over to Fitzpatrick's

and tell the owner San Fitzpatrick that the giant insider sent you.

That's Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern, located at 9600 Pacific Avenue in Diamond Beach,

A lot of publicity about these guys.

What's going on?

You know, it's the strange part, Lawrence, and obviously let you jump in. You know, beginning, before, when camp wrapped up, you looked at the season, and they were going with two corners, you know, two rookie corners with Trey and Tate Banks, you figured that, okay, if the defense was struggling after three, four weeks, he said, well, you know, the two, the two rookie corners are struggling at times,

up and down, which you expect, right?

Two young, two kids out there.
