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

Joined as always my co-ist Nick Vallado. Today we're lucky. We got a special guest on the show.

Someone we didn't know if we could pull because he works his ass off during the weeks grinding film.

No, it's funny, but you like we talked about this before the show, Eric, it's like, look, we, and I know this for a fact because I talk with Nick about this, and I feel bad about this. I get asked to be on a lot of shows during the season. And my general thing is I say no to them all because if I start to say yes to some, I feel bad about the ones that I say no to. So and I only do that because I don't have time. It's not because I don't want to do the shows.

They're fun.

So when you said you do it, I was like,

damn,

awesome.

Like,

it's, I say no to. So and I only do that because I don't have time. It's not because I don't want to do the

shows. They're fun. So when you said you do it, I was like, damn, awesome. Like it's such a nice thing of you to do because I know the grind and I know where you're at. But as we discussed beforehand, you know, you made a special, you know, you made a special, um, exception because this is giants builds. There's so much to this matchup

And given where the Giants went

Who they got from Joe Shane Brian Dable

So This is Giants builds. There's so much to this matchup. And given where, you know, the Giants went, who they got from Joe Shane, Brian Dable. So we're excited to have you on. For those who don't know, Eric has worked with cover one. He breaks down tapes. This is going to be an X and O's base preview. It's not going to be like some of the other ones we've had, which is exciting. I know for everyone. They always say, let's get more of these. We want more of these. Well, help us find people and we'll do more of these.

Today, we found someone great.

Thanks to Nick. So before we get into any of that, Eric, I want you to tell everyone where they can find your work. Yeah, so I'm the owner of Cover 1, Cover 1. Football. We have 14 podcasts on our YouTube network. you know my podcast as, as you said, and is more centered on the X's nose, the film, the scheme, the Y is behind, you know, everything that happens on the field.

And so we try to, at cover one, we try to take, you know, this complex game and make it simple for the average fan, for the average Joe and change that, you know, viewing experience for the average fan that's sitting there watching. And so they're not, they don't have to ride the wave, you know, ride a wave as normal fan and can get a better understanding of the game. So that's kind of, you know, our MO and philosophy at cover one. And, you know, I will just say, you know, I'm huge fan of your guys' work. I said before we went live that we're cut from the same cloth, you know, we love the film. We're film junkies, but we also include the analytics. Nick, you know, you and I having gone through the scouting academy and cross paths and networking in that way, you know, again, we're cut from the same cloth. And I feel that we approach this game in the proper manner.

Objective.

We use all the data we can, all the film we can to come to our conclusions.

And I'm just mad respect to you guys and what you guys do.

And thank you for having me on.

Bless to have you, Eric.
