Blue Liar.

Welcome back.

This is the big blue banter.

New York Giants football podcast.

I'm Dan Schneier.

I joined as always my co-ist Nick Bellato.

Yeah, you're right.

Tonight we're coming to you at 2 and 0.

I still can't even believe I'm saying it out loud.

Look, we all felt like the Giants could maybe do something

in year one of Joe Shane, but 2 and 0. I don't think anyone expected this. Now they're rolling

into Monday Night Football. The chance go 3.0. We'll talk about that in a bit later, but just

crazy to even say it out loud, Nick. I like how we did it last week where we kind of broke down

our key, the key thing we learned, our key takeaway from the game. You can only pick one if you had to only pick one. For me, it's the coaching again, man. And I thought it was the difference again in this one. I thought we predicted it and it came true. Ben McAdoo did a really poor job as a play caller and an offensive schemer against the Giants today. And I think that wasn't true. As Nick, I think you did a great job of breaking down last week with Todd Downing. That was more, look, Wink's calling a great defense. Wink might be out maneuvering him, but he's trading some punches back and forth. Todd down. This was just not the case of Ben McAdoo. I thought he called a terrible game, with the exception of the one drive where he was able to get DJ more open and that touchdown in a couple plays in the passing game there. Once again, didn't do a good job utilizing McCaffrey, but the Giants had a great job and a great solution to taking away McAfree, put Xavier McKinney on him. So kudos to the coaching there. Again, for me, Nick, it's just the coaching overall. It's the other side of the ball. So much to like when it comes to Mike Kafka's play calling, some of the key plays he made. He called in this game. But I look at it, Nick, from just like an overall 30,000 foot view, because we're going to get into all the specifics, but just from the 30,000 foot view, the overview of what Brian Dable is, and I'm just going to, not just going to say Brian Dable, because I really think it's Brian Dable's entire coaching staff, the coordinators, the Bobby Johnson, all the positional coaches. They're winning games they lost last year. Last year in week two, the Giants intercepted a pass, James Bradbury, got into Washington

field goal range and ran, ran through five yards short of the stick to kick a field goal that

ultimately ended up being the reason they lost the game because the Washington football team

then kicked the game winning field goal on the next drive. This year, on a third down, where they

could have ran the ball, they called a, on a third down, where they could have

ran the ball, they called a naked and gave three options, one being the best that Daniel Jones

chose, where he made a sick cutback and showed more acceleration than he shown in either of the two

games as a runner and picked up the first down with his legs, a perfect decision and perfect

execution. The stark contrast between what we saw week two last year and week two this year,
