We appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks for listening. And have a lovely day. Welcome back. It's the big blue banter New York Giants football

podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. joined as always my co-s, Nick Falado. Today we are here, talk about a few

things on the Giants front. First of all, I'll talk a little bit about the recent coaching hires

that we haven't had a chance to discuss on this podcast since last time we recorded. We are going to

then transition to what we believe and argue why are the giant's

biggest needs heading into this year's free agency.

Free agency is still a month away at this point.

Legal tampering day period starts Monday, the March 9th.

So we've got a month until that, but rumors will start to circulate, I'm sure, and we'll start to get moving toward that direction. But also, before we do that, Nick, I wanted to give you a shout out and say, how was your Super Bowl? Did you enjoy the game? And what was, I think we did this in past years. We have. Yeah. Yeah, we've decided like, what is the biggest thing we learn from the Super Bowl from those

teams and how the Giants can potentially mimic what we saw?

So I can't say enough.

I can't praise Mike McDonald enough.

Like, I can't praise the Seattle Seahawks enough and John Schneider for the entire

operation of drafting the free agent

acquisitions, the trades that they made being ahead of the market and then just building a culture

of winning and rectifying the issues from last year's team that did not, where the Seattle Seahawks

were not nearly the team that they are right now, right? Like trading Genino Smith was unpopular at that time. Rolling the dice on Sam Darnold was unpopular at that time. Both of them, obviously it looks like a pay. I mean, it did pay off massively. And the acquisitions of former Giants, some of the other players, the drafting of Nick M. M. Mawry just to fit the style of what Mike McDonald wants. And he's the only defensive play caller, head coach right now, defensive play calling head coach. So I love that whole pendulum swing from the offense to the defense, that archetype. But I also just love the fact that the Seattle Seahawks were like, yo, we are, we are bad, we're down bad right now in the NFC West. We got Sean McVeigh that we have to worry about. We have Kyle Shanahan that we have to worry about. There's another team called the Arizona Cardinals that we don't really have to worry that much about. But those other two teams, those are two of the wonderkins of offensive, offensive football right now. So we got to get a defensive guy who's going to stop them. And not only did they do that, the Seattle Seahawks beat the 49ers and the Rams in the playoffs to get to the Super Bowl. So just like a round of applause. Like Seattle, you deserve it. I thought the game was an excellent defensive battle. I see a lot of people that. I was so boring. But like I like good defensive football. I do like scoring a little bit but I like, I like good defensive football.

I do like scoring a little bit more, maybe sometimes, but like watching how he coached that game and how he was able to just absolutely harass Drake May and the offensive line was

an issue obviously for Drake May too.
