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

joined as always my host, Nick Falado and Nick Falado. Is it possible to have had a better start to the

preseason for Giants first round rookie Jackson Dart than the one that we're watching right now?

I don't know, man. If you would have told me this was the start, I would get really

excited. We have 82 people in the room. We're not even 30 seconds in. This is a Saturday night. We're talking football, baby. We're talking preseason football. Let's go. I'm amped up. Now, this is great. Yes, it is preseason. We want to temper expectations. But with that in mind, Dan. This is the, this is exactly what we wanted to see from Jackson Dardt, a surgical, a clinical type of performance just carving through the New York Jets, scoring touchdowns on the deck, throwing touchdowns to Greg Dolgic, checking at the line of scrimmage, hitting Dante Miller based on the defensive leverage, doing a lot of different things that you don't really see too frequently or too often from

rookie quarterbacks. He seems very comfortable. He seems very poised. And there's a lot of

excitement around the New York Giants. And it's just great to see, to have winning vibes and

to see some quality football, albeit it is in the preseason.

We need to see this translate into the regular season.

But let's revel in it while it lasts right now.

Surgical, clinical, those are two adjectives to describe what we watch tonight.

Some football adjectives that I would use, Nick, on time, poised in the pocket,

full command of the offense and they're running. And I love that Brian Daebel is giving him so many of the options that work for him at Ole Miss. Why not? This is what good coaches do. Let him play no tempo. Let him play no tempo. Let him play no huddle. Let him have those like outlet passes, those quick hitters on the outside and my god we'll

talk about this throughout the night but that third at my i'm most impressed like there are so many good

throws to talk about the dulcet touchdown the third of montchral washington over the middle of the

field we don't use the middle of the field we haven't used the middle of the field as a passing game

in years but that third and four there's a middle of the field there's a middle

of the field to throw to my god in the intermediate range my god but that and we did occasionally hit

like the play action digger out but like we're talking about out of the gun my god but man it's that

third and four conversion and we'll talk about this a little bit more later that's the one that one wants a turbo on the outside. That's the one that was like, holy crap. This dude is in command of the offense. This dude is in total command of the offense. So very exciting. As we filibuster time here to wait for people to join the stream, though they're probably getting in now. Nick, I do have one thing I want to bring up. And this is something

that I feel like you'll relate to in some ways, shape, or form. I bought this brand new giant shirt. I thought it was really cool. I went out to the store. I bought it. I thought it look cool. It feels good. It's good material. Dude, I bought this like two days ago. First of all, it's wrinkled. and it never,

I never took it out of the thing.
