Welcome back. It's the big blue banter New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. It's always my co-s, Nick Falado. This is the defense of all 22 coaches film review of the Giants Floss, the Cowboys. We're going to do things a little bit differently, for those who are new. We're going to start with a brief overview of our notes and our key takeaways. Then we'll get right into the film.

We think this is better.

Last episode, we tried to just go right into the film, and we personally feel like some of the overarching notes and themes and thoughts set up the tape.

I think, like, Bowen, Bowen attempts to change up his system, like all of his attempts to change

it up. They're more predicated on using different personnel and matchups.
