Speaker 1: Discount. Let's talk about the New York Giants here. Okay.
Speaker 1: I first of all, I love this defense. I love
Speaker 1: this defense. They go three cornerbacks deep. I love them
Speaker 1: up front with guys like Jpp my Man Snacks, Damon Harrison,
Speaker 1: the former Jet Olivia Vernon coming off the edge. I
Speaker 1: think this is primed to be a top five defense.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, and this is something Giant fans have
Speaker 1: not heard in ten or fifteen years. The problem with
Speaker 1: the New York Giants is the quarterback position. Let me
Speaker 1: say that again. The problem with the New York Giants
Speaker 1: is the quarterback position. Eli Manning is getting to the
Speaker 1: age where people fall off a cliff. He was quarterback
Speaker 1: twenty one last year, got his four thousand yards, okay,
Speaker 1: had twenty six touchdowns, but he had sixteen interceptions. You
Speaker 1: know what other quarterbacks had sixteen interceptions last year, Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles and Brock Osweidler. That's how many interceptions Eli Manning
Speaker 1: is throwing. I think Father Time is undefeated. I watched
Speaker 1: the Giants canes. I'm here in New York. Some of
Speaker 1: those interceptions were just straight ugly. Okay, there is no
Speaker 1: reason to believe that in his mid thirties. Eli Manning
Speaker 1: is all of a sudden gonna bounce back or have
Speaker 1: a better season. So I'm a little bit low. I'm
Speaker 1: fading Eli Manning. Okay, I do. Here's the other thing,
Speaker 1: and this is similar to like Cincinnati with Andy Dalton,
Speaker 1: this is similar to Los Angeles with Philip Rivers. These
Speaker 1: are teams that decided to support their quarterbacks by adding
Speaker 1: playmakers on the outside as opposed to the offensive line.
Speaker 1: And I don't like it. I told you in the
Speaker 1: Bengals how they let their offensive lineman go, but then
Speaker 1: you know brought in John Joe Ross and Joe Mixon. Well,
Speaker 1: the offense of line for the Giants is still one
Speaker 1: of the five to tend worst in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: But instead they decided to invest their money on Brandon
Speaker 1: marshalliz another weapon outside. And I think you know you've
Speaker 1: got Oldell Beckham. He's obviously one of the top wide receivers.
Speaker 1: He's obviously a first round pick. This guy, Oldell Beckham.
Speaker 1: I'm talking a hundred and one catches, over hundred yards,
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. He should get paid. He deserves it. He
Speaker 1: is the man. My only question is will he keep
Speaker 1: his you know, will he keep his uh temper in
Speaker 1: check and wind up playing all sixteen games? But that's
Speaker 1: neither here nor there. I told you when we talked
Speaker 1: about the Tampa Bay Bucks and how DeShawn Jackson will
Speaker 1: have an impact on Mike Evans, the same could be
Speaker 1: said for Brandon Marshall having an impact on Oldell Beckham.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Odell Beckham is a guy who
Speaker 1: will take a seven yard slant to the house right
Speaker 1: a lot of your yards after the catch. He's got
Speaker 1: that yak. Brandon Marshall is your prototypical outside X receiver,
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be very helpful in the
Speaker 1: red zone to be a big target for Eli Manning.
Speaker 1: So I don't think they conflict so much. In Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: I thought de Shan Jackson is gonna hurt the deep
Speaker 1: ball for Mike Evans, if anything. Brandon Marshall is gonna
Speaker 1: eat up red zone targets that might have gone to Odell.
Speaker 1: But I still love both of these guys. Brandon Marshall
Speaker 1: was such a beast Giants fans, You're gonna be very
Speaker 1: happy to have him. And I think Brandon Marshall is
Speaker 1: gonna have a good season. I think Brandon Marshall is
Speaker 1: viable to be a wide out three. If you want
Speaker 1: to know the truth, I think Brandon Marshall is gonna
Speaker 1: set as a goal to try to get a thousand
Speaker 1: yard receiving season for what would be an NFL record
Speaker 1: fifth team. He's already got a thousand yard receiving season
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears, the Miami Dolphins, the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 1: and yes, even the New York Jets. Has done so
Speaker 1: in eight of his last ten seasons, just not last
Speaker 1: year with the Jets. Then again, who did And also
Speaker 1: like three years ago with the Bears when they had
Speaker 1: a putrid offense as well. I love Odell Beckham, I
Speaker 1: love Brandon Marshall. I think Shepherd may see a drop
Speaker 1: in targets. Remember he was the slot guy. But Brandon
Speaker 1: Marshall is gonna eat into that. And Evan Ingram, this
Speaker 1: rookie out of Ole Miss He's gonna get some targets.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a better real football player than fantasy
Speaker 1: football player, because, as I've mentioned, if you listen to
Speaker 1: the fantasy freestyle, you know that I think tight end
Speaker 1: is one of the hardest positions for rookies to come
Speaker 1: in and do well because you gotta know the entire
Speaker 1: route tree, and you also have to know the entire
Speaker 1: blocking scheme. That's a lot and a lot different than
Speaker 1: what a lot of these tight ends did in college,
Speaker 1: including Evan Ingram, who was basically a pass catcher for
Speaker 1: the run in rebels. So I think it may be
Speaker 1: a little bit of a stretch to think that Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram can be good this year. That's why I have
Speaker 1: him ranked as my twenty feet tight end. Corey Parkson,
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Executive, has him as tight end twenty two
