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

I don't know if it's that I have a sore throat. I'm actually sick, Nick, or I just was out all weekend talking and, you know, yelling in lyrics at a concert. Might have been that. It's hard to say. But there's a little more pep in my step today. I don't know about you. Not based on the tape. I won't say that. But just based on life's too short. You can't let things like yesterday hold you down for too long, have to move forward, have to look for the positives and also just have to look for it. Maybe not just the positives, but just a way to move on and move forward. It stinks that this is week one. It's still a long season. Things can change. Giants can look different. Daniel Jones is going to get another opportunity to turn this thing around, Nick. But we've now had a time to watch the tape on the offense side of the ball. The defense is going to come later. Just generally speaking, Mondays, you'll probably get tape later than this typically from either side of the ball tape reviews. But today, we're doing the offense one a little bit early due to our schedules, being a little conflicting. So we both had time to watch the offense, Nick. So I'll start there. What was the number one

thing that you took away from the tape? The Giants aren't good offensively. No. Now, so look,

they tried using, it's stuff that we talked about earlier. They tried using a bunch of 12 and 13 personnel

packages. Hardly, it didn't seem like they were an 11 personnel

that much it did seem like they strayed away from designing plays for malik neighbors because

Brian Flores was shading a safety not always aggressively over the top of malik neighbors but

the safety's eyeballs were on malik neighbors often but I was still a a little shocked, Dan, that the Giants didn't try to get him to football in more creative ways. We saw the one play to Wondale Robinson that was creative where they motioned Wondell Robinson to a condensed stack, and then he basically ran an arrow route underneath on that third and three, caught the ball, moved the sticks. I didn't really see any of that for malik neighbors and and i came across this and i'm not a hundred percent sure how

accurate it is but on plays where malik neighbors was targeted and involved the giants had a plus

4.1 EPA and on plays where he wasn't it was like minus 20.7 or some like astronomically bad number.

Now, there are obviously variables to that, the pick six, the Andrew Van Ginkle,

didn't have anything to do with Malik neighbors, but still, I think it's safe to say,

getting your young star talented receiver, designing plays for him like we all expected,
