In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," hosts Drew and Rob break down the latest updates, key issues, and promising developments for the New York Giants following their Week 6 loss to the Bengals. The Giants continue to grapple with issues on offense, but there are also some bright spots to discuss, especially with contributions from rookies and the recent spotlight on kicker Greg Joseph.
Drew and Rob open the show with the hot topic of the Giants' kicking game. Giants head coach Brian Daboll addressed Greg Joseph's recent struggles, acknowledging that while the kicker missed crucial field goals against the Bengals, his overall performance since joining the Giants has been solid, hitting eight out of eleven attempts.
The hosts then tackle a major concern for the Giants: their inability to score consistently. Daboll admitted responsibility for the Giants’ weak offensive showing, emphasizing that scoring only seven points makes winning nearly impossible. This season, the Giants’ offensive struggles have been persistent; they’ve scored under 18 points in four games, failing to reach double digits twice. With an average of just 16 points per game, and a disappointing 13.4 points per game when excluding their Seattle performance, it’s clear the offense needs serious adjustments.
The episode also dives into concerns around the Giants' offensive line, particularly Andrew Thomas, who left the game against the Bengals with a foot injury. Thomas, a linchpin for the Giants, struggled through the game before being sidelined and is now undergoing an MRI. His absence would leave a gap in protection for quarterback Daniel Jones, and the hosts question whether Evan Neal is ready to step up if Thomas misses time.
Despite these setbacks, the Giants' rookie class continues to impress, providing a silver lining in an otherwise challenging season. Drew and Rob spotlight standout performances from rookies Tyler Nubin, Dru Phillips, Theo Johnson, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., who collectively made significant contributions against the Bengals. Nubin led the team with nine tackles, while Tracy Jr. scored the Giants' only touchdown and racked up over 100 total yards. Even late-round picks like Darrius Muassau have been crucial on special teams.
The discussion shifts to Jalin Hyatt, the rookie wide receiver who has struggled to find his rhythm in the offense. Hyatt saw significant snaps against the Bengals but only managed a single catch for six yards.
Finally, Drew and Rob wrap up the episode with a recap of Week 6’s biggest games across the NFL. From the Buccaneers’ commanding 51-27 win over the Saints to the Steelers’ dominant 32-13 victory over the Raiders, it was a high-scoring week for many teams.
Tune in for a comprehensive analysis of the Giants’ current state, including updates, rumors, and all the latest news on the team’s pressing challenges and budding stars. With the NFC East still competitive, Drew and Rob discuss what it will take for the Giants to turn their season around and how these rookie standouts could help shape a brighter future for the franchise.
