2 Giant Goofballs: A NY Giants Podcast

The Giants 2026 schedule gets serious in the final stretch. Drew and Rob finish their game-by-game record prediction by breaking down the back half of the schedule, including the Commanders rematch, the Jaguars swing game, Daniel Jones against the Giants, the 49ers test, the Seahawks road trip, the Browns trap game, Monday night in Detroit, Dallas in Week 17, and the Eagles finale.
This is the audio from yesterday morning’s live show.

The episode starts with Washington and the question of whether the Giants split the season series with the Commanders. The bigger debate is Jayden Daniels and whether Washington has enough around him after losing several veteran pieces. If Daniels bounces back, Washington could be dangerous. If not, the Giants may have a real opening.
Jacksonville creates another complicated debate. The Jaguars were good last season, but Drew and Rob question how much of that was real and how much came from the AFC South schedule. It is the kind of home game the Giants probably need if they are going to become a real playoff threat.
Then comes the Daniel Jones game. Jones facing the Giants with the Colts is one of the biggest revenge-script angles on the schedule, especially after getting another major contract. The guys debate whether the Colts were a real threat or a team helped by schedule breaks, and whether the Giants should be able to win that matchup.
The tougher stretch comes with San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit, Dallas, and Philadelphia. The 49ers still have Kyle Shanahan and enough weapons to be dangerous. Seattle is a difficult late-season road game. Detroit on Monday night is the physical test. Dallas is the Week 17 measuring stick. Philadelphia in Week 18 could become the perfect NFC East finale if playoff stakes are involved.
The overall question is simple: are the Giants good enough to hover around .500, sneak into the playoff race, or does this final stretch expose too many unknowns?

The Giants’ 2010 draft class gave Big Blue two real defensive hits in Jason Pierre-Paul and Linval Joseph, but it also came with careers cut short, missed chances, and one special teams moment fans still hate reliving. JPP and Linval helped deliver Super Bowl value, but what did the Giants lose with Chad Jones never getting a real chance and Linval reaching another level after leaving New York?

This is the audio from yesterday’s live show. Drew goes pick by pick through the Giants’ 2010 draft class, starting with Jason Pierre-Paul at No. 15 overall. JPP became a two-time Pro Bowler with the Giants, won a Super Bowl with Big Blue, later added another ring with Tampa Bay, and still has not fully closed the door on playing despite being 37 and not recording a sack since 2022.
The episode also looks back at Linval Joseph, who played four seasons with the Giants before becoming a two-time Pro Bowler in Minnesota; Chad Jones, whose football future was taken away by a devastating 2010 car crash; Phillip Dillard, whose Giants career lasted only seven games; Mitch Petrus, a Super Bowl champion whose life was tragically cut short in 2019; Adrian Tracy, who built a strong CFL career after leaving the Giants; and Matt Dodge, the punter forever tied to the DeSean Jackson walk-off return.
This class is not easy to grade. The top two picks were legitimate wins. The middle of the class carried bad luck and short careers. The final pick became part of one of the most infamous collapses in Giants history. So is the 2010 Giants draft class underrated, unlucky, disappointing, or just one of the strangest groups this franchise has ever drafted?

The Giants 2026 schedule starts with real pressure, real trap games, and a whole lot of “prove it” moments. Drew and Rob go game-by-game through the first half of the season and debate whether this team is finally ready to take a step forward under John Harbaugh, or whether Giants fans are getting pulled back into the same offseason optimism trap.

The breakdown starts with another Giants-Cowboys Week 1 matchup, and the question is simple: can the Giants finally stop letting Dallas define the start of their season? Drew and Rob debate whether the new tone under Harbaugh, harder practices, and a different roster give the Giants a real chance to flip that script.
Then the schedule gets ugly fast with the Rams in Week 2. That game becomes the early measuring stick for where the Giants actually are, especially against a defense that could test Jaxson Dart and the offense in a major way.
The guys also get into the Titans revenge-game angle with Brian Daboll, the Cardinals as a game the Giants should win but cannot overlook, the Commanders as a division split candidate, and the Saints as a game that still carries baggage from last year’s embarrassing loss.
The biggest debate of the episode comes later with the Texans and Eagles. Houston’s defense could be a nightmare, but their offensive line issues might give the Giants a real path. Philadelphia still has to be respected until proven otherwise, but Drew and Rob question whether the Eagles are finally starting to show cracks.
This is Part 1 of the Giants 2026 game-by-game record prediction. Part 2 will finish the schedule and lock in the final record.

The Giants finally have a quarterback path with Jaxson Dart and a proven head coach in John Harbaugh, but that also means 2026 becomes a real pressure test. If Dart takes the leap and Harbaugh fixes the standard, the Giants have a path forward. If not, the entire plan gets shaky fast.

In this episode, Drew and Rob rank the 10 most important New York Giants for 2026. The list starts with DJ Reader, who has to help stabilize the defensive front after the loss of Dexter Lawrence, and moves through Isaiah Likely, Tyrone Tracy, Cam Skattebo, Malik Nabers, Tremaine Edmunds, Paulson Adebo, and Andrew Thomas.
The biggest debate comes at the top. John Harbaugh lands at No. 2 because his track record, discipline, preparation, and presence could change the entire standard inside the building. But Jaxson Dart is No. 1 because everything still starts and ends at quarterback. His development is not just about the 2026 season. It could decide the direction of the Giants for years.
Can Dart become the guy? Can Harbaugh clean up the mistakes that have buried the Giants in close games? And did anyone from this top 10 get ranked too high, too low, or left off completely?

The Giants may have gained a more balanced defensive group, but they sacrificed Dexter Lawrence in the middle of the line. That is the tradeoff driving this entire debate: can the defense be more complete while losing its best interior player?

This episode breaks down the Giants defense position by position after the Dexter Lawrence trade. Drew and Rob start with the defensive line, where Shelby Harris and D.J. Reader give the Giants veteran options, but not the same elite centerpiece Dexter provided. Is this group deeper, or did the Giants take a step back where it matters most?
From there, the discussion moves to the edge room with Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Abdul Carter. That group may be the clearest strength of the defense, especially if Carter takes another step and Burns keeps producing. But the pass rush still depends on whether the interior can hold up.
The linebacker and secondary debates bring more questions. The Giants need more range and stability in the middle of the field, while cornerback remains one of the most unsettled spots on the roster. Deonte Banks, Colton Hood, and the rest of the corner room come up as the guys try to figure out whether the Giants actually have enough answers.
The safety room closes the discussion, with Jevon Holland, Tyler Nubin, and the coaching change all part of the bigger question. Did the Giants build a better defense, or did they just replace one problem with another?
