Summary
Brian Daboll appeared to be on thin ice dating back to the end of last season. The ice finally broke on Monday, with the Giants making a change at head coach. Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen begin the Week 10 Hangover episode of The Athletic Football Show by discussing the end of the Daboll era in New York. After that, the guys dig into the Ravens' win over the Vikings and the Chargers' victory over the Steelers, which tightened things up considerably in the AFC North.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the athletic football show. I'm Robert Mays. It's the week 10 hangover with me and my buddy Derek Klesson. This is a fun one today. Unfortunately, I had some tough news to start things off with. Brian Daible fired as the head coach of the New York Giants. We talked about why that happened, what it meets for the Giants, where they go from here. Is this a good job? Should Joe Shane keep his job? Is Mike Kafka like a weirdly intriguing interim head coach? |
| 0:25.5 | I landed there in a way that was surprising to me. I didn't necessarily expect that when we started |
| 0:29.3 | the conversation, but enjoy digging into that with Derek. And then we hit two games on the |
| 0:33.4 | hangover today. Unfortunately, the Giants news precluded us from talking about Brown's Jets, |
| 0:38.5 | but we dove deep on Ravens Vikings, just where the Ravens offense feels like it's at right now. |
| 0:44.6 | I actually thought there was some encouraging stuff that we saw yesterday. And then what to make |
| 0:48.3 | of the JJ McCarthy experience right now against the backdrop of a Ravens defense that I do think |
| 0:53.2 | is figuring itself out. |
| 0:54.8 | I think that we've seen that over the past couple weeks. |
| 0:57.1 | Also talked about Chargers, |
| 0:58.1 | a game that was kind of gross, |
| 1:01.4 | but also was very simple and easy to understand in a way that I appreciate it. |
| 1:05.7 | Like you can put that game into three distinct buckets and get a handle on it pretty |
| 1:09.8 | quickly. |
| 1:10.3 | And that's what we did today. |
| 1:11.5 | So Ravens, Vikings, Steelers, Chargers, and a little New York Giants head coach talk on the |
| 1:17.7 | week 10 hangover with me and Derek Klesson. Let's get to it right now. |
| 1:26.2 | Feeling a little hungover on week 10. |
| 1:29.3 | We got a big Monday night game. |
| 1:31.4 | The review of that Monday night game will be available on the YouTube channel by the time you guys can listen to this. |
| 1:36.1 | So I would encourage you guys to go check that out. |
| 1:37.6 | Very excited about Eagles Packers recording our first one from the studio a little bit later tonight. |
