Inside BBI with John and Eric takes a look at the changes to
the coaching staff so far. Why did Jerome Henderson get shown the door? Are
there any other staff changes we are expecting? How much is the current staff
on notice for 2025? What does it say about Daboll as the Head Coach when he has
had so much turnover on his staff since he was hired? Is the most recent change
a way for Daboll and Bowen to have the coaches they want vs leftover coaches
from Judge and Wink Martindale?
What is Mara thinking about bringing back Daboll and what
could he be using as his reasoning? John mentions specifically Mara’s love of
the past and using the past to help determine choices in the now. Could Mara
see similarities in the 1983, 1996 and 2003 teams and the off seasons that led
to playoff appearances in 1984 and 1997 and a resurgent Giants organization in
2004.
Then John and Eric look at the Giants roster and upcoming
free agents. The discussion starts with a look at the salary cap and where the
Giants are compared with other teams in the league. Being 13th in
cap space is not bad but maybe not the big win that Joe Schoen wants you to
believe. John and Eric discuss the fact that the Giants have ZERO QB’s under
contract for 2025. They also discuss the fact that WR isn’t exactly a full
compliment either with just Nabers, WDR and Hyatt under contract (of those WR’s
who had a catch this past season). Darius Slayton is discussed including why
John feels Slayton is and should be done with the Giants and the phrase that
John puts on for Slayton’s exit (that made Eric laugh). Eric talks about how
many Giants fans think a bigtime big money WR is needed in free agency and John
offers the guy he thinks the Giants should try and sign.
Lots of talk on Evan Neal including Eric talking at length
about what Neal used to be like and what he is like today. The talk about Andrew
Thomas and his contract worthiness but with an injury history starting to look
problematic. Then there is what do the Giants do with JMS at center and are we
in the market for a new one?
How about the defense? How about Kayvon Thibodeaux, is he the
right guy or should the Giants go after Abdul Carter? Hint- John and Eric both
think Carter would be a perfect addition. What the DL outside of Lawrence, who
do the Giants have and who will they get? Then there is CB and that starts with
Banks.. Both John and Eric list Banks as the dog bomb player of the year for
the Giants and a guy who is at a crossroads career wise. Can he turn things
around with a new DB coach?
So much to talk about and they use the time well to get to
as many topics as possible.
