Summary

The leaked NFLPA player report cards kick off the show, and the New York teams land on opposite ends of the spectrum. Giants players hammer the organization, handing Joe Schoen the worst GM grade in the entire league while facility issues and roster frustration take center stage. Meanwhile, the Jets receive strong marks across the board, including major praise for Aaron Glenn from players. The one thing both teams agree on? MetLife Stadium’s playing surface is a disaster, earning an F-minus and reigniting concerns about injuries, turf stigma, and the upcoming World Cup grass overhaul. Does any of this actually matter, or is it just offseason noise? The guys break down what’s real, what’s changing, and what fans should actually care about.

The report cards that apparently players vote on that the NFLPA has, that the ownership

0:14.2

pushed against having those revealed publicly.

0:17.4

Remember that was the story a month ago?

0:18.6

But if they're made, if they're, if they are created, they are going to get released. And that's exactly. There's no doubt about it. So ESPN, quote, unquote, obtained the report cards that were supposed to be held in privacy yesterday and of course got leaked, which tells you players wanted them to know. I mean, everything gets a leak these days. Yeah, so let's go over some of the giant and jet stuff And let's just determine if any of this matters

0:39.8

First of all from a giant standpoint know. I mean, everything gets leaked these days. Yeah, so let's go over some of the giant and jet stuff, and let's just determine if any of this matters.

0:46.4

First of all, from a giant standpoint, Joe Shane got a D plus. I only view that as important from this standpoint. It was the lowest grade any general manager in the sport got. So he got the worst grade

0:53.5

of any of the game. of this is from the players.

0:55.2

From the players.

0:56.1

And you can understand why the players would say that,

0:59.2

because especially with the,

1:01.1

because it's only got to be giant players.

1:02.6

I mean, who else is voting on this from a giant,

from a Joe Shane standpoint?

1:06.6

So yeah,

1:07.8

it is giant players who have seen some of their friends and stars like Saquan

1:20.9

multiple cases when Super Bowls, Leonard Williams.

1:23.6

Right.

1:23.8

So you're watching this team get put together, giants, and you can't win, and you're watching your stars go other places and win. Yeah. What else would you give?

So the head coach grade got graded out higher than the general manager grade. Yes. And the head coach was the one that got. Fascinating. Offensive coordinator. C plus. Defensive coordinator, D plus. Position coaches B, and they kept a couple of the position coaches around. Right. The other things I thought were interesting. Remember, the Giants, we went there for the John Horrible Press conference. one thing that was of note is they were ripping up the entire facility. Yeah. The locker room was graded as a D. The weight room, though, was graded as a B. I didn't know, I mean... The food dining area, B plus? B plus. I thought I always thought the food dining, but I'm comparing it to what we had. Which was nothing. Like basically a picnic. Like a flea market food course. Exactly. No, it wasn't even. Did you have like just benches with tables, like it was school?
