In this episode, we unpack the New York Giants' thrilling yet heartbreaking Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys. Russell Wilson and the offense exploded for 37 points, with Malik Nabers and Juwan Robinson shining, but defensive miscues and coaching decisions let the game slip away. We discuss what went wrong, Shane Bowen's defensive struggles, and why this Giants team must beat the Chiefs in Week 3.Then, we shift gears to scout the 2025 NFL Draft linebacker class—a perfect focus given the Giants' dire need at the position. From Georgia’s CJ Allen to LSU’s Whit Weeks and Harold Perkins, Ohio State’s Sonny Styles, Texas’ Anthony Hill, and a rising star in Ohio State’s Arvell Reese, we grade and analyze their strengths, weaknesses, and NFL potential. Who’s the next Roquan Smith? Who’s a project worth betting on?
