  • Glass half full…

    Shows not bad. I skip the shows that Paul Dottino guy hosts though. He is obnoxious and annoying. Also, ads are out of control.

Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 3, 2026
Q: What can we expect from Denard Wilson's scheme and how will it benefit the defense?
Wilson's defensive style may include a mix of strategic blitzing and a focus on pressure with a strong personnel system, but it's unclear how his schemes will adapt to the current roster strengths and weaknesses.
Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 3, 2026
Q: How do you assess the Giants' chances to win the NFC East given the competition?
The Giants have a solid foundation and significant improvements can be made, but there are still questions surrounding the roster and the capabilities of the coaching staff. It's possible but not guaranteed they can compete with strong teams.
Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 4, 2026
Q: Do you pick a wide receiver because there's a thought that Malik is not going to be available, or do you take one of the offensive tackle studs?
It depends on the situation, including how the Giants perform in free agency and who they are able to retain.
Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 2, 2026
Q: How can we make the Pro Bowl better?
Creative ideas are welcome, but the Pro Bowl's current format is seen as lacking integrity and interest; many suggest eliminating the event altogether while keeping the recognition of Pro Bowl selections.
Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 2, 2026
Q: What do you think about the Giants' cap situation and what they can do with it?
The Giants are in a good position with a clean cap sheet and they may explore restructuring contracts or making cuts to utilize the cap effectively for new acquisitions.
