And for the New York Giants this weekend, they're just trying to get off the shine. It's all in two. People's jobs are going to get cold into question if you can't get a win. And this is a winnable game at the Cleveland Browns for the Giants. 1 o'clock kickoff on Sunday, but Cleveland did look a lot better to Sean Watson bounce back this past week. 31st and points scored 35th and points allowed well on their way to being one of the worst teams in the NFL. It's a struggle on both sides of the ball for them right now. Those defensive numbers would be worse, by the way, if Washington could punch it into one of their six red zone trips, they'd be down there close to 31 or 32. There's not much they do well, not much to hang your hat on at this point if you are a part of that Giants organization. But yeah, this to me is about survival, as you said. They need something positive at some point to valid it all their decision making and sort of these approaches. This is the third year of their build, right? If you're down here, if Washington is like their planet competitive game with the Giants, if we're in that place in three years, people should have their key cards revoked and go find an appointment elsewhere. But that's where they are in this build and they're a disaster. This is how you get fired. I'm not saying they will, but this is how it would happen. Your first year, you go nine, seven and one, your second year last season, you went six and 11. And then this year now at 0 and two, you have a really disappointing bad season, five and 12 kind of a deal. That would be a one way ticket, I don't think to figure out how to get fired. Yeah, to fire town. That's where we are. I mean, there's, there's no unit for them. I mean, Malik neighbors is a star. He's fun. He's exciting. I'm intrigued like everybody else is, especially from family fantasies perspective or even daily fantasy. But there's not much happening here on either side of the ball that's consistent. Charlotte Carroll of the athletic who covers the Giants joins us to help us break them down as we blitz the east on Grant and Danny. How surprised are you by this 0 and 2 start and how things have looked for them on both sides of the ball? Hey, thanks so much for having me on. I don't think anyone's too surprised based on what we saw this summer. We all kind of thought they'd at least be one one heading into this match up against the browns, but it's not too surprising knowing some of the deficiencies that were there and watching on throughout the summer. I do feel like Malik neighbors having a monster game's got to make people feel better. Daniel Jones went from, oh my god, you got to bench him to a pretty decent game this weekend. And those seem like encouraging signs, no? Yeah, no, it's definitely going to be excited about in the future. Malik neighbors played monster game 18 targets. The next Giants receiver had four. So he's clearly a huge part of this offense. We saw that throughout the whole training camp and just to kind of see it come together and see how competitive he is and how hard he took that miss catch. Excuse me, the drop is encouraging, especially the Giants. And if you're if you're watching that, Charlotte, over the last few years, I know the rankings aren't particularly kind to the Giants, but I've felt it in moments they've had a fairly decent defense, right? Starting starting with that group up front. They've been able to kind of bother teams. I know Washington's offense has been pretty terrible and they've taken advantage of that certainly. There have been some Gody point totals against it. But in general, I feel like a defense is has been decent, if not even pretty good at times. It doesn't feel that way through two games, though. It feels like there's no, it's like the kid in front of a leaky dam just trying to plug holes. And there's always a new one springing up. It doesn't feel like they can really take anything away at this point. Yeah, no, I mean, it's got the new coordinator, Shane Belling, some of them, Tennessee, so they're they're learning or they're kind of implemented his team. See what happens. It's very different than we weren't able to let heavy. That was always, you know, frustrating going about through his two seasons here. And so now we've got Shane where there's more emphasis up front kind of harking back to the old past rush of the year of the Giants yesterday year. Came on Cibido, Brian Burns, huge free agent trade acquisition of spring. They were pretty quiet in the first game, a little bit more active this go around against Washington. But still, you know, they had their moments in the sun in the red zone and of course they now Washington to kick the seven field goals rather than courts have shown. Yeah, I just I couldn't believe to that point like Dexter Lawrence didn't do anything on the statute other than make four tackles. They really didn't generate a lot of pressure. Should we feel good about Washington handling them that way and feel like that's a sign that the commanders might be pretty good up front or are they just not really playing that well as a defensive line yet? I think you can kind of view it as goals. I think I lean more towards that they're not as coach because yeah, they're still kind of figuring it out and they need to do it very quickly if they want to turn the season around and move on from 0 and 2. But I'd lean more that than Washington. But you never know. Tough to figure out which Cleveland Browns team is going to show up here week to week. But what are your thoughts on this game this weekend? Yeah, it's a must win. I know that sounds like a ridiculous thing to say in week three and we were saying that in week two that it was a must win. But it's just kind of it's hard to see them really having success with the teams that are on there. They're up going scheduled to giant schedule. I don't know. It's going to be tough and you're going into the ground looking at the injury report that came out. We'll see who all plays. But yeah, it's going to be a tough challenge for sure with Miles Garrett and that kind of pressure that is a lot more or a lot harder to deal with than what Washington generated I'd say last weekend. Charlotte Carroll covers the Giants for the athletic. Thank you for the time. We appreciate it. Thanks so much for having me on. Yeah, absolutely. You got it. Thank you.
