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

I joined as always my co-ist Nick Vallado. I wanted to start by thanking everyone who's made a concerted effort to like our videos.

By liking and subscribing and viewing, but mostly liking and subscribing, we've grown this page significantly.

Nick did an excellent film breakdown on Elijah Chapman. That got over 10,000

views. We haven't seen a number like that since the Brian Burns trade video, but every video has

been around 6,000. And the reason is the likes have doubled or tripled in every video. The likes are

what pushed the algorithm. If you appreciate this show, if you enjoy this show, and it's free nature,

please do us a favor, help us grow.

All you have to do is hit like.

It's like a quickest, easiest thing. I would hope that you can do this for us. It's going to take you one and a half seconds. Click like right now. If you haven't already, click like, make sure this is ingrained in your mind to click like every time. and we can turn this into a running joke because I'm going to be asking about this every time,

like a feverish pitch that I'm asking at this end, Nick.

It's like a feverish pitch that I'm asking at this in, Nick. Like it's like a school girl or schoolboy. I don't want to be sexist being like, oh, I got a crush. Well, my crush is the fans who like the video for us and help us push this through the algorithm. So without further ado, we're going to get into what's my favorite episode that we do basically all the time. From a consistency standpoint, there's nothing I enjoy more than the mailbag, to be completely honest. For a multitude of reasons, I don't have to get into now, but I might get into on another episode. I want to dive right in, Nick. I want to maximize our time and get as many questions in as we can. So we start with Tree Ninja, who says, do you think the Giants should consider or keep Tommy DeVito over Drew Locke if they only keep two quarterbacks? Does he have more upside and potential as a backup based on what he showed last year? I'm going to say, no, I think you roll with Drew Locke at this point. I like Tommy DeVito, and I know Drew Loc has struggled, but Drew Locke just arrived to this system. We've seen Drew Locke be a capable and competent quarterback in the NFL. On the flip side of that, you've seen that with Tommy DeVito last year in this system as well. I understand the logic, but at the end of the day, the Giants went out and got a backup that was not Tommy DeVito, a quarterback who was benched

against the Eagles late last season, right? And I know he's an undrafted rookie, but I'm going to roll with Locke on this one. I'm going with Locke. I think there's a recency biased. And I'm not saying it's your fault here, but Locke's had a rough. I don't want to call it preseason, but he had a few snaps in his one preseason game for injury in a rough camp. And that's on the minds of Giants fans.

But the reality is I've watched a lot of film with Tommy DeVito this preseason, and I'm not impressed. Look, Alex Taney did a really good job racking up numbers and stats and moving the football with the second and third team offense. That's my expectation. It's a lot easier. We see a lot of quarterbacks put up good

preseason stats. That hasn't been the case for DeVito. The offense is stagnant against Houston and the week before as well, did not move the football, did not score points and not do explosives in the past game. I'm not blaming it all on DeVito, but I'm also saying this is a limited arm. And I again, Love the guy.

Love the kid.

Love the story.

It's fun.

He's from New Jersey.

He's Italian.

He's got Moxie.

He made some good stick throw. is a limited arm. And I, again, love the guy, love the kid, love the story. It's fun. He's from
