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

It's always my goal. It's Nick Vallado. And it's the drould drums of the offseason right now. We're into the end of May and June. We got the little bit OTAs that we're going to talk about that we've been talking about. And we may have some more next coming but you know once that's through we're on the break till training camps we're thinking of different

things to do so one of the things we wanted to do is check in on where the giants are at in regard

to the nfc's one thing that we've heard from countless general managers who have been through

the ranks with the giants and head coaches is we need to close the gap on

our own division.

We need to try to find a way to not only close that talent gap, but then, of course,

close the win gap because beating your division is the easiest path toward winning

your division.

As simplistic as that sounds, Nick, it's actually the truth, right?

You go four and two or five and one

your division. You're in a really good position to win that division, both from a tiebreaker standpoint and

just from an overall wins law standpoint. So today what we're going to do is look at and break down

where the Giants rank in the NFC East from an offensive standpoint, position by position,

using an article that Nick actually published for Big Blue View. You can find it at Big Blue View if you just search Nick's author page, Nick Falado's author page. But we're going to go over it and I'm going to go into, we're going to go position by position. And then we're going to see if I disagree with Nick on any of his breakdown. So first of all, Nick, why don't you explain the process and what you did and the point system and everything like that? So I went

through each team's position group, starting a quarterback, running back, wide receiver,

tight end. And then I just grouped in the entire offensive line. Last year, I believe I did go

interior offensive line, offense line. I might even did center. But regardless, I did the entire offensive line now. So it's a little bit less

nuanced, if you want to be honest here. But I basically gave four points to the number one

at each position group. Say Eagles had the number one quarterback or the Cowboys had the number

one quarterback. They got four points. The number two ranked got three points. The third ranked got two points. And then the last

ranked team got one point. And then I aggregated all of those together, added them up and I gave
