Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Panther New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

Join is always my co-host, Nick Falado, and yes, that's the original OG intro.

Listen, I took a little, listen to the whining for by the few, and I realized, look, the comment section was damn clear.

They said, bring back the old intro keep the old

intro flock of people 15 to 20 comments versus the one or two people whining about how loud

and obnoxious that intro is and yes it is a bit loud a lot loud it's a little obnoxious but that's

the point we want to be here we want to be excited to be here. We want to get the juices flowing, as I always say, Nick, about the New York football giants. We want to talk about the giants, okay? Things are supposed to be exciting here on this podcast. They haven't been for a while for us, but they feel like maybe they're turning in that direction. And so the old

intro is back. And it's going to be a lot of excitement, a lot of passion going into this podcast

over the next five months or four months as we head into the 2025 season. Yes, it's a tough

schedule, but I believe this team is going to take a big jump forward on the field. That may lead

to not as many wins as we hope, but it also may lean to more competitive football, and it may lead to them competing. And wow, we took the chiefs to the fourth quarter, and then Mahomes did a drive at the end. They won the game. But those games weren't even possible for us, Nick, in these last few years. Like, they really weren't. When you were trotting out Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, and Drew Locke, and whatever else was that quarterback over the last two years, those weren't possible.

And so now it may be possible.

And I hope that's the case as we move forward.

But for now, Nick, we're going to talk today.

Second part of this little series we've done in the

past, ranking the Giants roster by position. We're going to go five to one, I believe, like we did

last time. There's five position groups, fewer on the defensive side of the ball. We're breaking up

edge and linebacker. We're bringing up the offball guys and the edge guys. D-line has its own

category, safety and corner. Before we do any of that, little show note, I am going away for eight days. I don't know when this will drop, but there may be a little, we may be a little light-end content over that. The good news is we're going to pre-record some and it's the dead of

the off season. So this is the time to do it. I'll be in Hawaii, Nick. I'm very excited. I'm going to go see my brother get married. I'm going to officiate the wedding. Wait, wait, wait, wait, time out, time out. You're officiating the wedding. You got verified for all that. Geez, I didn't I know I let anybody do this.

I knew I had a broad net of all the losers who could do it Geez, I didn't know I let anybody do this.

I knew I had a broad net of all the losers who could do it, but I didn't know they let anybody do it.
