In this live episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," Drew and Rob dive into the latest updates and rumors surrounding the Giants, including a major change in the offensive strategy. Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed he’ll be calling plays this season, taking over the role from offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, who held the position for the last two years. The Goofballs discuss the implications of Daboll’s decision and what it could mean for Daniel Jones and the entire offense as the Giants prepare for the upcoming season.

Next, the podcast covers the financial details of Adoree’ Jackson’s contract, which includes a $1.7 million cap hit but no guaranteed money. With difficult-to-reach bonuses for interceptions and playing time, the Goofballs speculate on Jackson’s future with the team and how this contract structure reflects the Giants’ plans for their secondary.

Joe Schoen also makes headlines for an offhand comment caught on camera during the Bears' Hard Knocks. While watching the Georgia vs. Clemson game with Bears GM Ryan Poles, Schoen slipped up in a lighthearted conversation about quarterbacks, leaving fans curious if he forgot the cameras were rolling.

As the Giants prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings, the Goofballs examine key matchups. Daniel Jones will face a revamped Vikings defense featuring veteran corner Stephon Gilmore, who joins the team at 33 years old. Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will be tested against the seasoned Gilmore in what promises to be an exciting matchup. On the flip side, Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks will be up against one of the NFL’s elite receivers, Justin Jefferson, who is coming off an incredible season despite a mid-year hamstring injury. Banks, who struggled at times last year, will have his hands full in what may be his toughest challenge yet.

The episode also dives into the Giants' strategy to contain Aaron Jones, the Vikings' big offseason signing. While Jones had a slightly down year in 2023, turning 30 soon raises concerns about his longevity. Drew and Rob discuss how the Giants' defense, led by Bobby Okereke and Dexter Lawrence, can slow down Jones, especially with Sam Darnold now under center for Minnesota.

On the defensive front, the Goofballs analyze the Vikings' pass rush, which lost key players DJ Wonnum and Danielle Hunter in the offseason. With new additions like Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel, the Vikings’ defensive line faces uncertainty. Drew and Rob break down how the Giants' offensive line, anchored by Andrew Thomas, will need to perform against a retooled yet vulnerable Vikings pass rush.

Join Drew and Rob as they provide the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants, from Daboll's play-calling shift to key matchups against the Vikings. This episode covers everything you need to know ahead of the Giants’ upcoming season.
