While sidelined by injury himself, Thomas’s comments serve as a reminder of the Giants' potential if they can maintain health and cohesion moving forward.

The discussion also highlights the incredible rookie season of Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, who is rewriting the record books. With 90 catches, 901 yards, and four touchdowns in his first 12 games, Nabers is on track to join an elite group of NFL rookies with 100+ receptions. He’s chasing records held by Giants greats like Odell Beckham Jr., needing just two catches to break Beckham’s franchise rookie record of 91 receptions. With three games left, Nabers is also eyeing the milestone of 1,000 receiving yards, which would further cement his status as one of the league’s top young stars.

Giants Under Fire: Media Suppression, Draft Buzz, and Penix's Debut vs. NYG
In this episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob tackle the latest controversies and developments surrounding the Giants and their upcoming match against the Atlanta Falcons. The show opens with a fiery discussion about the alleged attempt by the New York Giants to control media narratives. Talkin’ Giants hosts Bobby Skinner and Justin Penik revealed they received complaints from the organization after criticizing GM Joe Schoen and were threatened with reduced access if they continued. Drew and Rob stand in solidarity with the duo, emphasizing the importance of media freedom in covering the team.
Attention then shifts to the Falcons' quarterback situation, as head coach Raheem Morris announces Michael Penix Jr. will start against the Giants. After a rocky stretch for Kirk Cousins, who has struggled with turnovers and consistency, the Falcons have decided to see what their rookie QB can deliver. With Atlanta clinging to slim playoff hopes, this decision adds intrigue to Sunday’s matchup. Meanwhile, the Giants will likely start Drew Lock, with Tommy DeVito potentially cleared as the backup after missing time due to concussion protocol.
The conversation moves to draft speculation, including Deion Sanders’ bold claim about his son Shedeur becoming the No. 1 overall pick and his certainty that the Giants won’t part with that pick. The hosts discuss whether Shedeur, Cam Ward, or Travis Hunter could fit into the Giants’ plans. Hunter’s Heisman-winning season has sparked debates about his versatility as both a wide receiver and cornerback, areas of need for the Giants. Could his dynamic skill set make him a top choice for New York?
In a “what could have been” moment, Drew and Rob analyze Ian O’Connor’s report that the Giants considered Adam Peters for GM and nearly hired Jim Harbaugh as head coach. With Peters and Harbaugh leading other teams to success, the discussion highlights how those choices might have
SHOCKING Mock Draft Trade Down, Latest News & NFL Week 15 Recap
In this extended episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob take a deep dive into the rollercoaster season for the Giants, as frustrations among fans and players alike reach a boiling point. Wide receiver Darius Slayton’s recent comments set the stage for a detailed discussion about the state of the team. Slayton reflected on the losing streak, comparing this season to past tough years like 2019 and 2021. While he admitted the similarities in terms of losses, he emphasized that this year's roster is far more talented and built to compete. He dismissed parallels to 2021, calling it “its own beast” due to unique circumstances that year. Slayton also expressed confidence that there wouldn’t be a shakeup in the current regime, standing by the belief that Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will return for the 2025 season. Notably, some of his remarks about the coaching staff were edited out of the team’s official transcript, which raises questions about internal handling of such statements.
The show explores the growing unrest among fans, highlighted by two weeks of controversial plane flyovers at MetLife Stadium. These planes carried messages reflecting fan dissatisfaction with the team’s performance and leadership. Drew and Rob discuss insights from a fan who organized one of the flyovers, originally planning a "Fire Schoen and Daboll" message before it was rejected by the advertising company. Instead, the fan pivoted to align with another group’s effort, aiming to send a unified message of frustration. The fan admitted their intention was to embarrass Giants ownership, particularly the Mara family, by amplifying public discontent. This segment leads to a broader conversation about the balance between fan expression and the team’s responsibility to respond to criticism.
Quarterback uncertainty dominates another portion of the episode as the Giants face the possibility of starting Tim Boyle in their next game. With Drew
Giants Crushed by Ravens, Shedeur Sanders Rumors, & Another Plane Over MetLife
In this jam-packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob dissect another demoralizing week for the New York Giants and tackle some of the most intriguing and controversial stories in the NFL. The Giants’ latest outing was nothing short of disastrous, as they were steamrolled by the Baltimore Ravens in a game that highlighted just how much the season has unraveled. Injuries continue to decimate the roster, leaving the team struggling to find any rhythm or consistency. Against one of the AFC's top teams, the Giants looked outclassed, with fans growing increasingly restless as the losses pile up. Drew and Rob break down what went wrong in the matchup and examine how injuries and poor execution have contributed to the team’s current state.
The frustration among fans was on full display once again as a second protest banner flew over MetLife Stadium prior to the game. This time, the plane carried a message that read, “Mr. Mara Last - We Won’t Stop Till You Fire Everyone.” This protest followed last week’s banner, which called the Giants a “dumpster fire” and begged team owner John Mara to fix the organization. With just two home games remaining this season, including a finale against the Indianapolis Colts, it seems likely that these airborne protests are far from over. Drew and Rob discuss the growing dissatisfaction among fans and how these public displays of frustration are further tarnishing the reputation of the franchise.
One of the most talked-about stories in the NFL this week involves Shedeur Sanders, the highly touted quarterback prospect and son of NFL legend Deion Sanders. A report from NFL Rookie Watch claimed that Shedeur is prepared to refuse to play for the Giants or Browns if drafted by either team, drawing comparisons to Eli Manning’s famous refusal to play for the Chargers in 2004. The report also speculated that the Giants might be forced to “settle” for another quarterback, such as C
Giants News Today: Toney Cut, Ward to Giants? and Ravens Showdown
In this must-watch episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob tackle an action-packed lineup of Giants football news, NFL headlines, and the latest Giants news and rumors. The show kicks off with shocking developments around former New York Giants first-round pick Kadarius Toney. Toney, now a free agent, was cut by the Cleveland Browns after a disastrous game that included a costly taunting penalty and a crucial fumble, marking another disappointing chapter in his NFL career.
The hosts then shift gears to cover a fiery interaction involving New York football legends, as Mark Gastineau confronted Brett Favre in a viral moment captured by ESPN. The confrontation stemmed from Favre’s infamous "gimme" sack that allowed Michael Strahan to break Gastineau’s single-season sack record. Brett’s social media response provided insight into his side of the story, but the drama escalated when Terrell Owens chimed in, raising old allegations about Favre's involvement in misappropriated funds. The segment also touches on the ethical concerns of ESPN using Gastineau, who suffers from severe health issues, to promote their upcoming documentary, "The New York Sack Exchange."
The conversation returns to Giants news as Drew and Rob discuss Seth Wickersham’s report that Bill Belichick, once rumored as a potential coach for the Giants, dismissed the idea due to the challenges of rebuilding in New York’s intense media environment. Belichick reportedly supports current head coach Brian Daboll, leaving Giants fans to wonder about the team's future direction.
Next up, Drew and Rob preview the daunting Week 15 matchup between the Ravens and the Giants. With injuries plaguing the Giants' roster, including key contributors like Bobby Okereke and Deonte Banks, and the Ravens boasting an explosive offense, the odds are stacked against New York.

Giants Turn to Tommy DeVito, Add Depth to Secondary: News & Rumors
In this full episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," host Rob dives deep into the latest developments surrounding Big Blue as they prepare for a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants' quarterback situation takes center stage, with Head Coach Brian Daboll announcing that Tommy DeVito will get the start this week. DeVito, who has completed 21 of 31 passes for 189 yards over two appearances this season, will step in as Drew Lock remains sidelined with a walking boot. If Lock is unable to suit up as backup, Tim Boyle, recently re-signed to the practice squad, will likely fill the role.
The episode also highlights the Giants’ efforts to bolster their depleted secondary. With Tre Hawkins III out due to injury, Greg Stroman has been called up to the active roster. Stroman, who previously stepped in for Deonte Banks earlier this season, could see significant snaps with the team facing a barrage of injuries in the defensive backfield.
In addition, the Giants have been busy making signings. Cornerback Divaad Wilson, nicknamed “Newt,” joins the team, bringing his experience from UCF and a brief stint with the Cardinals. Wilson has shown promise but is yet to carve out a substantial role in the NFL. Similarly, the Giants added Ekow Boye-Doe and Azizi Hearn to their practice squad, both young defensive backs aiming to make an impact despite limited opportunities in their careers thus far.
The defensive line also sees reinforcement with the signing of Ross Blacklock to the practice squad. Blacklock, a former second-round pick, has struggled to find consistent success in the league but brings raw talent and a strong first step that could prove valuable in certain situations.
Rob also discusses the Giants’ workout with Stephen Gilmore Jr., the younger brother of five-time Pro Bowler Stephon Gilmore. While the Giants haven’t signed him, the workout signals their continued focus on addressing depth concerns in the second
Giants Turmoil Deepens: Plane Banners, Injury Woes, and Scouting QBs
In this episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob tackle another turbulent week in the world of Big Blue. From fan protests to critical injuries, quarterback controversies, and wild off-field distractions, this week had it all. The hosts kick off with Malik Nabers’ cryptic response to reporters regarding the plane banner flying over MetLife Stadium during Sunday’s loss to the Saints. The banner, which called for sweeping changes, captured national attention. Nabers denied involvement, offering a curt “I ain’t pay for the plane” before walking off.
The quarterback position remains a hot topic as Brian Daboll confirmed Drew Lock will remain the starter, pending the results of his MRI. Lock's status hangs in the balance, leaving fans wondering if the team might pivot under center. Meanwhile, the Giants’ injury woes continue to mount. Cornerback Tre Hawkins is out for the year after suffering a fractured lumbar spine, and Jon Runyan Jr.’s future this season is uncertain with a sprained ankle listed as week-to-week. These injuries exacerbate the struggles of an already decimated roster.
Rob and Drew explore NFL insider Albert Breer’s belief that the Giants’ front office and coaching staff are likely to remain intact despite the team’s poor performance. Breer highlighted the organization’s strategic efforts to scout top college quarterbacks, suggesting they’re planning for the future. Giants evaluators have made live visits to watch high-profile prospects such as Shedeur Sanders, Quinn Ewers, and Jalen Milroe, signaling a possible focus on drafting a franchise quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft. However, lingering questions about the regime’s long-term stability persist amidst an eight-game losing streak and growing fan unrest.
The chaos extends off the field, with social media buzzing over Ava Louise’s claim that she flashed the Saints during the game as part of a player’s request. Sharing scre
Giants Postgame LIVE: Breaking Down the Showdown Against the Saints
Drew & Rob deliver a full postgame breakdown of the New York Giants' matchup against the New Orleans Saints, a game that came with a mountain of expectations for the Saints and a sense of dread for Giants fans. Heading into the game, the Giants were riding a dismal seven-game losing streak, their season marred by poor performances, injuries, and growing frustration from their fan base. Tickets for the game at MetLife Stadium were being resold for as little as $9—a stark reminder of how far this team has fallen.
The Giants entered this matchup with a severely depleted roster, leaving many to wonder if they could even remain competitive against a Saints team led by quarterback Derek Carr, running back Alvin Kamara, and wide receiver Chris Olave. The offense was without several key players, most notably rookie WR Malik Nabers, who was questionable leading up to the game, and OL Jermaine Eluemunor, who was listed as doubtful. With Drew Lock making his first start in place of the injured Tommy DeVito, the offense faced significant challenges against a Saints defense known for its aggressive pass rush and ability to create turnovers.
On the defensive side, the situation was even more dire. The Giants were missing several key contributors, including star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence and rookie tight end Theo Johnson, both of whom are out for the season. The absence of CB Deonte Banks, DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and LB Bobby Okereke left gaping holes in a unit already struggling to keep opposing offenses in check. Additionally, DL DJ Davidson was doubtful, leaving the defensive line razor-thin against Kamara’s powerful running ability.
In this postgame episode, Drew & Rob break down all the pivotal moments from the game, analyzing the Giants’ performance and how the depleted roster impacted their ability to compete. Did Drew Lock manage to provide a spark for the offense, or did the Saints’ defense overwhelm him in his first start? How did the Giants’
Giants vs. Saints Play-by-Play: Injury-Plagued New York Fights for Pride
Drew brings you live play-by-play coverage of the New York Giants' matchup against the New Orleans Saints, diving deep into what has been a disastrous season for Big Blue. With fan frustration at an all-time high, tickets for this game at MetLife Stadium are being resold for as low as $9—a staggering reflection of how far the Giants have fallen. The team enters Week 14 on a crushing seven-game losing streak and now faces even more adversity with a roster decimated by injuries.
At quarterback, Drew Lock will get his first start of the season as he replaces the injured Tommy DeVito. While Lock’s arm strength and experience offer a glimmer of hope, he’s stepping into a challenging situation. The Giants' offense will likely be without several key contributors, including rookie WR Malik Nabers, who is questionable, and OL Jermaine Eluemunor, listed as doubtful. The loss of Nabers would be a massive blow to an already struggling offense, as the rookie has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dim season.
The defensive side of the ball is in even worse shape. The Giants recently confirmed that star defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence and promising rookie tight end Theo Johnson are out for the remainder of the season, further compounding their problems. CB Deonte Banks, DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and LB Bobby Okereke are all ruled out, leaving gaping holes in a defense that has struggled to contain opposing offenses. Additionally, DL DJ Davidson is doubtful, leaving the defensive line paper-thin against a Saints team that excels at running the football with Alvin Kamara.
Facing a Saints squad led by Derek Carr at quarterback, Alvin Kamara at running back, and Chris Olave as the primary receiving threat, the Giants’ battered defense will have its hands full. Carr has shown flashes of brilliance this season, and his ability to connect with Olave could spell disaster for a Giants secondary missing its top cornerback in Deonte Banks. Kamara’s ability to
