In this episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob tackle the latest controversies and developments surrounding the Giants and their upcoming match against the Atlanta Falcons. The show opens with a fiery discussion about the alleged attempt by the New York Giants to control media narratives. Talkin’ Giants hosts Bobby Skinner and Justin Penik revealed they received complaints from the organization after criticizing GM Joe Schoen and were threatened with reduced access if they continued. Drew and Rob stand in solidarity with the duo, emphasizing the importance of media freedom in covering the team.  

Attention then shifts to the Falcons' quarterback situation, as head coach Raheem Morris announces Michael Penix Jr. will start against the Giants. After a rocky stretch for Kirk Cousins, who has struggled with turnovers and consistency, the Falcons have decided to see what their rookie QB can deliver. With Atlanta clinging to slim playoff hopes, this decision adds intrigue to Sunday’s matchup. Meanwhile, the Giants will likely start Drew Lock, with Tommy DeVito potentially cleared as the backup after missing time due to concussion protocol.  

The conversation moves to draft speculation, including Deion Sanders’ bold claim about his son Shedeur becoming the No. 1 overall pick and his certainty that the Giants won’t part with that pick. The hosts discuss whether Shedeur, Cam Ward, or Travis Hunter could fit into the Giants’ plans. Hunter’s Heisman-winning season has sparked debates about his versatility as both a wide receiver and cornerback, areas of need for the Giants. Could his dynamic skill set make him a top choice for New York?  

In a “what could have been” moment, Drew and Rob analyze Ian O’Connor’s report that the Giants considered Adam Peters for GM and nearly hired Jim Harbaugh as head coach. With Peters and Harbaugh leading other teams to success, the discussion highlights how those choices might have changed the team’s trajectory.  

Finally, the episode previews the Thursday Night Football clash between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, offering insights into the AFC West showdown. As always, Drew and Rob deliver a compelling mix of analysis, news, and speculation, ensuring Giants fans are informed and entertained ahead of another pivotal week in the NFL season.
