Thank you and enjoy. Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banter. New York Giants Football Podcast. I'm Dan Schneier., joined as always my co-ist, Nick Falado.

Some are referring to him as the caveman these days with that beard. You know, I think part of what we've been able to pull this off is because this lovely girlfriend is like on, she works and she, she's a pilot. I don't know if you're supposed to say that on air, but I don't think it's fine. Yeah. that was Nick, but, you know, and she's not like living with him right now.

Like she's doing her work in another area of the country or another area of the world. So like I think you can pull it off because of that I feel like if Diana was around, dude, she would probably be like, this needs that this needs a guy. Every time I see her, she's like, what are you doing with your life right now? Every time ITime her, I hear about it all the time. I see it in the comments. It's not lost on me,

okay? But she is away. I have this opportunity to grow my beard out. She is not a big fan of the beard. And you know what? I'm to my own horn a little bit here, Dan. I got a pretty damn good beer. It's good.

There is no room.

Shane Bowen and I have any.

Right.

You don't have like I,

I'm trying to grow it in and I have issues with growing it in.

It's not. There is no room. Shane Bowen and I have any hang out. Right.

You don't have like I, I'm trying to grow it in and I have issues with growing it in.

It's not going as great as I want it to.

And that's just like, but like you get no, it's all connected here. Like you got nothing missing. So yeah, let it, let it rip. She's not home anyway. So, you know, you can just, you maybe come up like a filter for when you FaceTime her where it looks like you trimmed it down.

It's like not actually the real situation.

But I'm here with my bearded co-host. You can just, you maybe come up like a filter for when you FaceTime her where it looks like you trimmed it down.

It's like not actually the real situation. But I'm here with my bearded co-host, Nick Falado. And they were going to talk about part three of our series of biggest offseason questions and Giants are going to answer. And this one's a big one, I think, moving forward. And it's how to address the run game. We're going to talk all run games. It's not just how to address the running back position because that's where the crossroads at.

It's the whole run game because Nick and I are big believers in. A run game starts basically with the blocking and the offensive line. Yes, you can have these superstar running backs that can help you, but do you really want to focus a running game around them? The Giants are going to have that opportunity now to rewrite and retool how they want to move forward at the running back position and with the run game. So we'll talk about that. But first we want to talk about some news too. We'll use these shows to dive in some news. Those of you who joined us live last night, thank you. Or not last night, whenever you're here, you might be hearing this few days after, but a Monday night, thank you. We broke down the hiring of Shane Bowen as the Giants new defensive coordinator. So you can check that on our page.

It was a live video but you can still find that video now and it's on all of our podcast feeds as well so thank you for joining us and if you you know asked some questions and joined in our conversation during that live show thank you as well for that and all the support but there is some news that. So, Nick, why don't you introduce that and give your initial thoughts there?

Yeah, the Giants hired a tight end coach because Andy Bischoff went to go coach tight ends under

Jim Harbaugh with the Los Angeles Chargers.

And the Giants brought in another former Houston Texans tight end coach, Tim Kelly, who most recently was the

offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans. Looks like we're bringing the New York Titans
