Hey, Giant fans, if you're still out there, welcome to the Giant Insider podcast.

My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper.

And with me, as always, the beat writer, the man on the beat, the man of the people, the heart of Giants Nation, the guy who's

forced to sit in that press box and watch those games live.

Once again, that's the mediacaptain.com Twitter account at the media captain. So what's new, Chris? Anything? What's going on? Not much. How about you? You know, Chris, I, over the last 24 hours, and usually we, you know, when we wait to do the podcast, which we always do, we wait 24 hours. Because if we did it after the game, you know, you'd be half asleep because you get home so late, especially from a night game. And I'd be renting. Last time was a rough one, yeah. Yeah, right. I'd be ranting and raving like a freaking lunatic. But it had But I haven't calmed down. And I'm looking at my franchise now, our beloved giants. And, you know, all year we've been saying, Gettelman has a plan. Goddeman has a plan. And I guess he does. But Chris, it's very hard for me to look at this team right now from top to bottom and not think we are one of the bottom three laughing stock franchises somebody asked last week what franchise would you not would you

what franchise would you put under what five and now I'm now I'm at Jets and Browns are the only two

or the Raiders are better and the Redskins okay three the Raiders are better that are better. That's a laugh that I put that, that I said that last week, that I'd rather be the Giants than the Raiders. Dude, we are one of the laughing stocks of the league. I don't see an end in sight right now. We kept saying 2020 was the year. I think, I think it's 2007 the way this looks. But I don't know, man, a lot of thoughts in my head.

I know we're going to dissect this game, this team, this coaching staff, the, you know, the franchise in general.

But holy crap, man.

What a, what a crap show that was.

Well, yeah, it ended up as a crap show.

It was a game, you know, and then, you know, the Cowboys ran away with it.

So I guess my point is, so the biggest thing that jumped out at me when I'm watching that game,

and I talked you about this actually earlier today, was although it was close at first, the disparity and talent between

the Dallas Cowboys and the Giants was so stark and evident. I mean, I'm sitting there,

I'm looking at the defense of the Cowboys and our offense, and I'm like, how the hell are we

going to move the ball at all? They are loaded, and we need probably 11 new starters on offense and defense combined. Is your podcast haunted? I hear like noises in the background. Mrs. 12th man came in to check on me and make sure I'm still breathing. Oh, all right. I thought it was, I thought it was I thought it was in Halloween just passed I thought maybe something's going on it's funny you can

hear that huh yeah um she came in to look and then looked at the coffee make sure I still had

enough which because she's awesome and I did I give her the thumbs up so um and they didn't

have Vanderesh that's not either I know, right. Sean Lee looked better than Vandrash. Listen, it's not even close town. I said that opening day and you were kind of like poking fun at me. I remember, like, oh, the Cowboys on that card. I know what you think, you know. I try to tell you that Cowboys are pretty good. It's not even close with us, you know. Jerry, they have something that we don't have. Impact players, right? A plan. Yes, go ahead. Sorry. They have impact players, buddy. Yeah. Now, now, stop saying that I have a plan. Where are you going with this now? I'm just, I'm aggravated from top to bottom. Oh, but when you say things like that, people go to think like, what are you last week? I know, I know. I know. I know. Go ahead. They have a plan, the plan that he built inside out. Now, now. Whether or not he drafts well enough and he's drafted some nice players, but they're not turning out to be impact players. And that's the difference. And people, when I said weeks ago that BJ Hell's been a disappointment this year, there was some people out there say, oh, Chris, what are you talking about? He's got 10 pressures. He's got this. He's got that. And guess why, folks?

The last three weeks, he's played like 29, 26. Last night, he played 18 snaps. You know what's funny? I would have thought Tomlinson was the one that got less snaps, but it was B.J. Hill. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you look at it, Thomas is actually playing better to Hill, Jerry. Mm-hmm.
