Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Bander, New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join as always my co-s, Nick Vallado. And we got a little bit of a predicament. Nick is working

tonight, as he always is. He's a busy man, that boy. So we're not going to be on for the giant

schedule release at 8 p.m. So we decided let's do a leak schedule release because

there has been leaks to the giant schedule. Art Stapleton has confirmed, I believe the first six

games of the giant season. And then shout out Spartan Mike. You can find him on Twitter at Spartan

Mike 96. Give him a follow.

Give him a follow for this, for sure, and for other good content.

I've been following him like for a little while now.

He confirmed the entire leaked giant schedule.

Now, it's a leak, not guaranteed.

But with that said, on his leap schedule, the first six games are exactly as Art Stapleton had them. So there must maybe be some truth to it. I don't know. He also confirmed that this leak schedule that he got is the same thing he got last year. And when he did leak it last year, Nick, he was right on his leak. And he got it from the same source. So we're really, you know, chomping at the bit here, Nick, and we're going,

we're taking a little bit of luxury and liberty here in going with this. But Swarton, Mike, hopefully you get it right. If not, don't direct your pain and anger at Spard Mike. Directed at me and Nick. Yes, please. Directed at us. Sometimes you just got to take a leak And you know, this is a good leak to be taken right now.

And I'm glad that we're able to get this episode out to you guys a little bit early and hopefully we have good news

going through this schedule because it is a rough one fan it's a rough schedule without a doubt

but it is something I want to break down and hopefully this league schedule is correct so on the league

schedule I will reiterate before we get into this the first six games are confirmed by Art Stapleton, who I believe wouldn't be tweeting those out, beat writer for the Giants, unless he knew for sure. So remember, these first six games should be correct. So let's start right away in week one, Nick. And we may have differing opinions on this. I'm actually curious to get your opinion on it. I already put my opinion on Twitter. And let me talk about a little bit here. But week one, the Giants will start their season at Washington, the team coming off the NFC championship game appearance in year one of a regime and year one of a quarterback in a 1 p.m. time slot at Washington. I want to get your initial thoughts on playing Washington

in their house on week one. I want to catch Washington early and punch him right in the mouth.

They have no idea how Shane Bowen and the New York Giants are going to employ and deploy

Abdul Carter. And I think he could be an X factor in containing Jane Daniels, Jane Daniels' elite

athletic ability. Now, this is also Abdul Carter's first professional games will be a lot of pressure on this young man.

But I want Shane Bowen's defense to catch the NFC East opponents off guard right off the jump.
