Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banter, New York Giants Football Podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

joins those with my calls. Nick Vallado. Like the new poster in the background he's got there.

I think he put that up last podcast. Sadly for us, unlike last night's live show, we don't get to enjoy Phoenix, Nick's dog, just lounging on that bed over there.

He's sleeping somewhere, Dan.

But the poster, so this poster was at my parents' house for like the last decade.

I got this prom weekend back in like 2008 at the Jersey Shore.

But look how freaking beautiful it is.

It's an honor because I got it in 2008, but it's an honor of the 2007

New York Giants. It has them all on there. There's only a few mistakes, and I've meticulously looked at it for years now. I can point out the mistakes. How freaking cool is that, dude? What are the mistakes? Um, Ruben Drones is on there, I believe, but I don't think they wanted it to be Ruben drones. I think they wanted it to be Bradshaw. Somebody is not numbered correctly. It might be Justin Tuck. Oh, God. You got a touch number wrong. Yeah. It's like on the on the helmet, the number is wrong. Like it's 91. Like you can see it clearly. But then they put the numbers in between the stripe on the helmet and those are a little off on like two of the players. Yeah. Well, it's still a cool poster. It looks really sweet. I need to get one for the back here. I've been wanting to get a poster here. I think I'm going to try to get a big blue banter poster to hang up on the wall back there. So then I do the CBS podcast three times a week to be on the box scores mailbag. It'll just be that.

And I'll get free advertising. Honestly, I'm a little upset, Dan, that you have not done that.

Well, I don't know how to, it's more out of just like being an idiot and not knowing where to

create a poster online. Like, oh, bro, just Google that shit, man. You'll find that.

I know. That'd be great branding for us. So I know. It'll be done soon. But today we're here to talk about the defense on tape, film reveal. What were your initial thoughts after watching the tape of the Giants defense in this game? They got carved up in cover one. That was my primary initial thought. I think we mentioned that on the stream. It seemed like every time they went into a single high cover one, Russell Wilson had a response for that. And it made me think, are the Giants just bad in man covered? And I don't think that's the case. I think this was a little bit more circumstantial. I think Andrew Phillips struggled in this game with his positioning. And he put himself out of position a few different times and he could not recover.

That happened against, I think George Pickens once. It happened against Calvin Austin two or

three times and then Van Jefferson. It was not the best game for Andrew Phillips. But I went back

and I watched some of the Eagles tape and some of the Bengals tape and some of those sacks,

a lot of those sacks actually against

the Eagles were cover one sacks. So the Giants are getting home and cover one. So I don't

necessarily think it's this team can't play man coverage. I just think this was a really bad

performance against Pittsburgh Steelers team with Russell Wilson, who throws excellent jump balls

and excellent touch passes deep and a few of the

Giants defenders who were out of position.
