Blue Wire.

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

Joined as always my co-host, Nick Vallado.

Today we're here to preview the Giants week three game against the San Francisco 49ers,

as that spread continues to grow, Nick. I think it's over 10 points at 10.5 points.

Niners favored by the Niners would have won last week's game by 10 against the Rams,

but weirdly, Sean McVe kicked a field goal, and that cost me $400. So I'm not really happy

with that, but it happened and I had to deal with it. Obviously, seven point

spread, seven and a half some places, but the point being San Francisco has proven they can

win these games by a lot of points. So I understand the spread right now, short week for the

Giants. But before we get into any preview of the game, we want to discuss that and go back

over what we discussed in the film breakdowns on offense and defense and maybe

give us an idea. I wanted to run down the injury report real quick with you, Nick, and we are

working off of Tuesday's injury report because we were recording this midday Wednesday. The report

has not been released yet, but on Tuesday's injury report, we got some news. The first news being

one, Ben Bredison, the giant starting first team left guard, is not expected to play in this game with a concussion. According to Brian Dable, that's disappointing one to hear, Nick. I think we both agree from the tape that we saw from Breddison before his injury. He looked pretty good out there. I would say it was either him or John Michael Schmitz is the most consistent offensive lineman on the field for the Giants in week two. So this is a tough loss. They're likely going to probably put Kloinski there again at left guard. I assume this is also assuming Andrew Thomas will not play. As far as Thomas goes, he was limited in practice with the hamstring injury. My guess is they're not going to rush him back for Thursday night,

which means we'll probably see a Zudu at left tackle. If Thomas is back, I think that's when things get interesting as far as will Azudu play left guard or will Mark Lewinsky play left guard with Bredesen out with a concussion for as long as that has to be. Let's start there, Nick, before we get into some other injuries. What are your thoughts on the developing offensive line situation with Bredison expected out?

And let's just say for this right now,

Thomas questionable. Let's say Thomas is in. I think you move Azuda to the left guard if you're

comfortable with him in that position because he has shown throughout his college career, Dan,

I can play left tackle and then the next play

play left guard. So that's where I lean. I don't want Mark Lewinsky out there against
