In this special joint episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates* and *Big Blue Avenue*, hosts Drew, Rob, Tom, and Sam dive deep into the latest Giants news, roster moves, and the crucial matchup against the Seahawks. The Giants are shaking things up, and our hosts are here to break it all down and discuss how these changes could impact the rest of the season.
The Giants recently signed CB Greg Stroman to their practice squad. Stroman, a 28-year-old Virginia Tech product and former 7th pick, brings experience from his time with Wash, Buffalo, the Rams, and most recently, the Bears. With 65 tackles, 3 INTs, and 2 QB hits across 29 games, the hope is that Stroman can bolster the Giants' depth in the secondary. In other roster news, the Giants released S Alex Johnson and TE Joel Wilson, along with reaching an injury settlement with tight end Lawrence Cager. How will these moves impact the Giants’ defense, and what might Stroman bring to the team in the long run?
The hosts also dive into the upcoming Giants vs. Seahawks matchup and break down what the Giants need to do to come out on top. The Seahawks defense has been efficient, particularly on third downs, ranking 4th-best in the NFL in third-down conversion percentage. Their pass defense also stands out, allowing just 6.4 yards per pass (9th) and 167.5 passing yards per game (7th). However, their Achilles' heel seems to be in the red zone and stopping short-yardage passes, areas where the Giants have struggled but may be able to exploit. Will DJ finally find his rhythm against this Seattle secondary? Can the Giants' struggling run game get back on track against a Seahawks defense that ranks 14th in yards per carry and yards allowed per game?
On the defensive side, the Giants will need to focus on stopping a pass-heavy Seattle offense. The Seahawks boast one of the league's top passing games, with Geno Smith throwing for over 1,100 yards and DK Metcalf, JSM, and Lockett forming a dangerous receiving trio. However, Seattle's offensive line, particularly the right side, has struggled, offering a potential opportunity for the Giants' pass rushers to shine. The Giants' defense, which leads the league in allowing just 0.3 rushing touchdowns per game, will also need to keep Seattle's rushing attack in check, especially with Walker III and Charbonnet posing a threat on the ground.
As the hosts discuss the keys to victory for the Giants, they stress the importance of dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. DJ needs more time in the pocket to make plays, while the Giants' defense must pressure Geno Smith and not allow him to get comfortable. Additionally, the Giants need to generate some big plays downfield. Without those explosive moments, they risk falling into the trap of relying solely on field
