We got a ton to get to over this final hour, leading you right up until 2 o'clock with the Carton show with Craig Carton and Big Mac.

0:11.4

You can call him the nickname. I am no longer allowed to, but Big Mac does have a nickname besides...

0:16.0

You sent me up to say it. I did not.

0:17.8

Oh, okay. No, that's your call. Chris McMonigle is his name. He'll be with

0:21.4

Craig Carton coming up at 2 o'clock. We got a lot to get to. Sean Morris has an update that may bother some MET fans concerning Mets parking for this upcoming season. That's coming up in a few minutes. But I do want to get to the Giants quickly. And of course, your calls 888808-101. Over the weekend, they made a couple of moves changing or altering their wide receiver room.

0:40.2

They brought in two guys.

0:41.3

Number one, Calvin Austin, formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers, wide receiver. I think we briefly hit that on Friday. Did we? Yeah, briefly, because of how... I thought it was like Friday night it happened. I think it was Thursday night. It happened. He was Thursday night.

0:54.2

And so we talked about it Friday. Just about how he wasn't a favorite of Aaron Rogers last year. And it felt like all of his tenure in Pittsburgh. Now that you say that I remember. He just hasn't had a quarterback that really is, you know, wanted to get him the ball and get him involved. But he's a talented player and he's young. and so why not take a shot on?

1:12.9

Yeah, I mean, he's still very young.

1:14.2

He's going to be in the ball and get him involved, but he's a talented player and he's young.

1:12.9

And so why not take a shot on it? Yeah, I mean, he's still very young. He's going to be in the league for a couple of years. Right. And the other one that didn't happen while we were on the years, Darnel Mooney, the former wide receiver of the Atlanta Falcons, before that the Chicago Bears. Do we like this move? I like it because he's familiar with the offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy.

1:27.2

And so he's got potential.

1:30.4

I don't know what his... I like it because he's familiar with the offensive coordinator, Madagie, and so he's got potential.

1:30.4

I don't know what his ceiling is, but he's a body who you're not going to lose on.

1:35.8

And so you take a shot at him.

1:37.4

If he thrives, great, if not, then it's no harm, no foul in a sense.

1:42.2

But you're also, there's no downside to it. Right. Combine, these moves have made me feel way better about the wide receiver room. Really? They don't prohibit you from adding a wide receiver in around one, two, four, whatever you want to do here. But here's what it does. The Giants basically played without Malik neighbors last year, and you saw how exposed Darius Slayton was to catching the

2:00.9

football in big spots. They have added two speed dynamic players here in Calvin Austin and Mooney, which allow you with all the tight end and the heavy stuff they're going to do to have some mismatches. And I think that's good. And I think that's important. I think Mooney took a step back statistically last year. And I think that had a lot to do with the Falcon quarterback play. I trust him

2:18.6

way more and maybe it's just the new treasure

2:20.8

here than Darius Slayton if we have to have a wide receiver to in terms of his speed and hands. I think Darius Slaten is gone. That's the impression I'm starting to get. Am I wrong about that? We'll see. It doesn't save them any. I got a lot. Yeah, I was going to see the contract situation and the cap saving, so it doesn't

2:36.6

really do anything. So you might as well see. Oh, it's not even about the finances. It's the impression I'm getting. So John Harbaugh takes over, and we all jump to, all. Who is he won? Who does he not want? I think we were all surprised, as we mentioned last week, that they brought Evan Neal back. Okay, he believes in

2:50.6

Evan Neal, thinks he can he believes in Evan Neal.
