Welcome back to the channel! Today, we're diving into the latest drama and storylines surrounding the New York Giants, as teased in Episode 2 of Hard Knocks: Offseason.

We're all curious about the phone call regarding Saquon Barkley's decision teased in the trailer. What went down? We need answers. Additionally, we want to know more about the Brian Burns trade—how did the Giants pull off this major move and what went on behind the scenes?

The talent evaluation process at the combine is another intriguing aspect. Who did the Giants have their eyes on that they didn’t end up drafting? And who were they less impressed by? This could provide some great insight into the team’s strategy. We also need more details on how the Giants approached free agency, especially with their new linemen.

Former GM Michael Lombardi didn’t hold back after the Hard Knocks premiere, saying, "If you don’t know who you are, how the hell do you find players out there that can fix it?... There should be a pyramid of opinions... They really don’t know who they are.” This critique raises questions about the Giants' decision-making process.

Malik Nabers was caught on video throwing thousands of dollars at a strip club. Is this just a young player letting loose, or is it something more serious? Chuck Pagano weighed in, urging Nabers to stay focused and available for the team. Jeff Diamond, former Vikings GM, warned of a potential train wreck if the Giants don’t start strong this season, highlighting the pressure on key players and coaches.

CBS Sports ranked Daniel Jones as the 8th most clutch QB, noting his steady performance in critical moments. Despite doubts, he’s shown he can deliver under pressure. Dexter Lawrence was highlighted as one of the best defensive tackles by CBS Sports, noting his impressive stats and impact on the game.

NFL.com’s Eric Edholm suggested that Brian Burns could be the Giants’ MVP, especially with Thibodeaux and Lawrence forming a formidable defense. Meanwhile, Jalin Hyatt’s bulking up strategy involves a lot of PB&Js! He’s now up to 185 lbs. Will this make a significant difference in his game?

The Giants fell from 6th place in ESPN’s Under-24 Rankings due to some disappointing performances from recent high draft picks. However, they still have promising young talent. Bleacher Report suggests the Giants should trade for Steelers RB Najee Harris to replace Saquon Barkley. Harris has been a consistent 1,000-yard rusher and could be a great addition.

Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report explores whether tanking might be the best strategy for the Giants, given their current challenges and the competitive NFC East. The Giants are also favorites to sign former Broncos safety Justin Simmons. Would he be a good fit for the team?
