The 5-1 New York Giants. Second best record in the NFL. All without receivers No. 1, 2 and 3. What the Giants are doing is truly remarkable.
Brian Daboll is coaching this team to a playoff contender. This ain’t a fluke. They just came back down 20-10 against a Super Bowl contender in the Ravens. The stats may never look pretty and might ever favor the Giants…but a win is a win is a win. You don’t apologize for wins in the NFL and Big Blue keeps finding ways to close games with big time fourth quarters. And it’s been fun to watch.
To discuss the 24-20 win at MetLife Stadium on Sunday and break down the state of the Giants, we bring you a new live episode of the “Blue Rush” podcast with Brandon London and I with special guest former Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas. We hosted the podcast from Pilsener Haus & Biergarten in Hoboken, presented by tri-state Cadillac dealers.
We will be back at Pilsener Haus & Biergarten in Hoboken again next week following the Giants-Jaguars game for another LIVE Blue Rush podcast presented by tri-state Cadillac Dealers. It will be me, Brandon London and special guest Giants Super Bowl champion Jay Alford.
Blue Rush Live Podcast with Brandon London, Jake Brown & Jonathan Casillas:
- HUGE 24-20 WIN: The culture has changed here. Brian Daboll and this coaching staff have turned it all around. This team finds ways to close out games. They are closers. The hype is real. Coming back down 20-10 to beat the Ravens is a big deal. Shame on Giants fans that left the game early.
- OFFENSE: Wan’Dale Robinson being back was huge for this offense. Daniel Bellinger is stepping up. Eight different guys had a catch. It’s not always pretty, but Saquon Barkley is leading the way and Daniel Jones is making big throws when the Giants need it in the fourth quarter.
- DEFENSE: Defense was shifting right before offense snapped the ball and caused three false start penalties. Dexter Lawrence is playing incredible. This was a revenge game for Wink Martindale. They are getting defensive contributions from top to bottom. Leonard Williams has been huge.
- CASILLAS STORIES: Casillas gives the whole story behind the infamous boat trip in January 2017 after the Giants final regular season game. He also explains why things went wrong with head coach Ben McAdoo, although he liked him personally. Finally, he tells it like it is on the issues with Eli Apple in his time with the Giants.
