| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Athletic Football Show, brought to you by Thursday Night Football only on |
| 0:08.2 | Prime Video. I'm Robert May's great midweek show on tap for you guys today. Our Giants writer, |
| 0:14.0 | Dan Duggan, was at the Giants Steelers game last night. We chatted with Dan about what he took |
| 0:19.6 | from that game on the giant from the |
| 0:21.1 | Giants perspective what we saw from the Steelers and just kind of how this feels like a slightly |
| 0:25.4 | different sort of Steelers team and I eat a lot of crow about the Russell Wilson decision |
| 0:30.1 | and what he has given that offense because this looks like a very well put together unit right |
| 0:34.2 | now and we chat a little bit about the near future for the Gi, what it might look like and how this regime might play into it. After that, was thrilled to chat with JTO Sullivan of the QB school about what we've seen from the first round rookie quarterback so far. Had a really good discussion about Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels, some of the details and just the way those guys are being set up to succeed or fail in certain moments. Really enjoyed that discussion. Talked about Drake May, what we've seen from him in his first couple starts, and then dug into Bo Nix, man. Bo Nix played pretty damn well on Sunday. And so the progression that we've seen from him from early in the season to what we saw against the panthers. |
| 1:11.0 | Really, really good discussion with J.T. |
| 1:12.9 | also chatted about the Anthony Richardson News getting benched. |
| 1:15.3 | We were already going to dig into that and upon further reviews. |
| 1:17.9 | So fantastic conversation with both of those guys. |
| 1:20.4 | Let's get to it. |
| 1:26.9 | Joining us now, working off of about two hours of sleep after what was a sleepy performance from the New York Giants. |
| 1:32.3 | It is one of our Giants writers here at the athletic Dan Duggan. Dan really appreciate you taking the time this morning. |
| 1:37.6 | No way I'd rather be after, you know, like I said, getting two hours sleep after a prime time game, hopping on a flight. |
| 1:42.5 | So yeah, I'm excited to be here. |
| 1:45.2 | Here's how I want to get into this discussion about the Giants. I want to start kind of wide and |
| 1:49.6 | use some of the specifics from last night to potentially backfill that idea. |
| 1:54.4 | Here's where I'm at with this team. It's not a disaster, right? It's not a walking embarrassment |
| 2:00.6 | like it has been at times over the last three, four, five, |
| 2:05.6 | pick your number of years. |
