Dan and Nick react to the Giants' blockbuster trade sending 2021 first-round draft pick Kadarius Toney to the Chiefs for a compensatory 3rd-round draft pick and a 6th-round draft pick. They break down why it happened, if it's fair to grade the trade as a positive but at the same time admit it's not a good thing for the roster, they discuss how the Giants WR corps shakes out post-trade, why Joe Schoen may be unlikely to trade any of these newly acquired picks or his own previous ones for another team's WR or another position at the deadline and a lot more.

Dan and Nick break down the All-22 coaches film of the Giants defense against the Jaguars in Week 7. As promised, they follow the film and refuse to sugarcoat it – point blank – the defense was uncharacteristically undisciplined and it lead to major breakdowns in run defense and in coverage. These breakdowns stemmed primarily from the second level play from the LBs. They go over struggles from Jaylon Smith and Tae Crowder, lapses in coverage, a total lack of pressure, Doug Pederson winning the chess match and several plays where the defense wasn’t aligned/ready just before the snap before breaking down some of the great reps from Adoree Jackson, Dexter Lawrence and others – and then finally handing out superlatives: best player, highest-effort player, unheralded player and grades for both the pass rush and run defense.
