Episode Details

The New York Giants look to redefine their offense by leaning heavily on tight ends, signaling a major shift toward a power run game under John Harbaugh. Can Isaiah Likely and Theo Johnson form the NFL's next dynamic duo?

Key questions surround Likely’s expanded role after playing behind Mark Andrews in Baltimore, as well as the importance of minimizing Johnson’s costly drops in critical moments.

Patricia Traina breaks down the revamped tight end room, spotlighting the potential impact of Patrick Ricard as an X-factor as a pseudo tight end. The episode examines statistical contrasts between Giants and Ravens 12-personnel usage, sheds light on the strategy behind not bolstering the running back group, and unpacks how new personnel could finally spark a top-tier Giants power rushing attack.
